Volume 1 Chapter 115: If You Dare Hurt Even One Hair on Her Head
Seeing Bai Muxue, the dedicated actress, suddenly adding extra drama to the act herself, Heidi could not help being slightly stunned.
Isn’t this just acting? Why is the young lady suddenly taking it so seriously?
“Ahahaha, so you’re trying to run away now? I didn’t expect even the mighty Kaguya to be unable to handle girls fighting over attention.”
“No no, human love and relationships really are interesting... Even so-called magical girls can’t escape from this kind of thing...”
Before Heidi could react, Sasha’s voice full of evil amusement echoed inside her mind.
“Honestly, why run away at all? If escaping is the goal, I actually have an even better idea. Heidi, do you want to hear it?”
“What idea?”
Like someone grabbing a lifeline, Heidi immediately asked in her mind.
“It’s simple. Why don’t you join the fight too? Just say the young lady belongs to you and nobody else can take her, and then—”
“And then?”
Still not understanding, Heidi asked instinctively.
“And then the three of them will put aside their hatred and beat you up together, ahahahaha—”
By the end of it, even Sasha herself seemed unable to hold back anymore. Her clear laughter echoed repeatedly inside Heidi’s head.
“D-Don’t tease me... Hurry and think of what I should do now!”
Hearing the wild laughter in her mind, a blush immediately appeared on Heidi’s face as she complained shyly.
“Hah, what else can you do? Just listen to your young lady and find a chance to escape with her.”
Sasha’s voice was full of the joy of someone happily watching chaos unfold.
“Oh right, move the knife a little farther away. Don’t accidentally hurt her for real...”
Alright...
Since the young lady already gave the order, and Sasha said so too, Heidi could only obediently cooperate.
Although she still did not really understand why the young lady wanted to run away...
If she chose to do this, then there must be a reason, right?
Still, when Bai Muxue actively leaned toward the blade, Heidi carefully moved the knife slightly farther away under Sasha’s reminder, afraid she might accidentally hurt Bai Muxue.
After all, the young lady had not transformed right now...
She was no different from a fragile normal human.
Mm, Sasha really is careful. I didn’t even notice that myself...
Heidi silently thought to herself.
“Stop standing there already! Either one of you, just attack already and don’t worry about—mmph mmph mmph!”
Bai Muxue naturally had no idea about the little drama happening inside Heidi’s mind. Before she could finish her righteous speech, Heidi suddenly covered her mouth with one hand, leaving her able to make only muffled sounds.
“Shut up! You weak human! Or I’ll kill you!”
After fiercely saying those words, Heidi secretly blinked carefully at Bai Muxue. Her entire face practically screamed, ‘This is only acting Miss, please don’t blame me!’
Her survival instinct was truly at maximum level.
Understanding her meaning, Bai Muxue also gave up on continuing her lines. Saying a few righteous speeches was fine, but too much would no longer match the image the two magical girls had of her...
So she simply blinked back in response, her clear eyes showing no obvious emotion.
Because Bai Muxue’s lips touched the center of the girl’s palm, a warm and slightly wet feeling spread across Heidi’s hand. A faint tingling sensation traveled through her body, causing a light blush to appear on her cheeks.
But obviously now was not the time to care about things like that...
Heidi secretly shook her head and cautiously glanced at the two magical girls before her, thinking about how to create a chance to escape successfully.
“Hmph! I-If you don’t want this human to get hurt, then leave now, and I might let you go.”
But Heidi really could not think of any good way to break the deadlock, so she could only try using threats to scare the two girls away.
However...
The two magical girls clearly understood her words as some kind of provocation.
“Tch! What kind of skill is taking a hostage?! If you have guts, fight me fairly face to face!”
Seeing that Heidi still had no intention of releasing Bai Muxue, yet also was not making any further moves, Amber finally could not hold back anymore and shouted angrily at her.
Amethyst paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and calmly said,
“I don’t know what you are planning, but even if I were complete strangers with her, I still would not ignore this situation. This is my mission, and also my duty.”
“Mm... so that won’t work either...”
Heidi lowered her eyes slightly.
“In that case... Then I’ll just blast you two away!!”
The moment her words fell, several bloodshot and terrifying eyes suddenly appeared from the shadows around the building, as if countless strange creatures were hiding inside the darkness, waiting for Heidi’s command before rushing forward to tear the two magical girls apart.
Amber & Amethyst: “??”
Bai Muxue: “???”
No, wait, what kind of logic is this?
Sure, this girl looks pretty intimidating and troublesome, but isn’t the story going in a weird direction...
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t she say something like, ‘Fine then, I’ll send you both to hell together!’
Or something like that?
What does “blast them away” even mean?!
Thinking back to the previous time they fought, when Heidi kept talking to empty air by herself, Amethyst seriously began wondering whether Heidi was actually the one with mental problems instead of Bai Muxue...
This was supposed to be a serious and tense situation, but somehow the atmosphere was becoming stranger and stranger.
Amethyst and Amber looked at each other, both unsure whether Heidi was secretly planning some kind of trick.
Especially Amethyst.
Looking at Bai Muxue, whose mouth was covered by Heidi while staring at her with a weak and helpless expression, Amethyst truly could not understand why she still refused to transform.
With Bai Muxue’s strength, plus herself and Amber working together, capturing Heidi should have been easy no matter what.
Yet Miss Bai still did nothing.
She acted exactly like an ordinary kidnapped girl, not even daring to breathe loudly, as if she were sincerely waiting for magical girls to save her from danger.
But honestly, what could Amethyst even do?
The blade was right against Bai Muxue’s neck. If Bai Muxue herself refused to move, was Amethyst supposed to rush over and carry her out herself?
Wait...
Why would I carry her out? She has legs of her own!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Amethyst became. A faint blush even appeared on her face, completely ruining her usual cold and elegant image.
Amber, meanwhile, was extremely worried but still did not dare act carelessly. She gritted her teeth and said,
“I’m warning you, if even one hair on Xiao Xue’s head gets hurt, I swear I’ll—!”
But before she could finish speaking, Heidi slightly pursed her lips in confusion, then suddenly showed an expression of understanding.
Then...
Right in front of everyone’s eyes, Heidi hesitated for a moment before actually removing her hand from Bai Muxue’s mouth and pulling out a single strand of white-highlighted hair from her head.
“......”
For a moment, the tense atmosphere instantly became completely silent.
Only the white strand of hair remained, swaying messily in the wind...
