Chapter 51: Shadie (Extra)
At the Nightmoon Tavern, today’s business was as good as ever.
However, almost all the customers were discussing the same thing, or rather, the same person—Magical Girl, Shadie.
“Hey, have you heard? The king was so happy when he saw the butterfly that Shadie sent over that he almost took off, saying that there would be a nationwide celebration.”
“Really? Is it that serious?”
“Absolutely! Do you think it was just an ordinary butterfly? That was the long-lost Saint Tier magic, [Mana Mimicry]. I’ve heard that the court’s chief mage kneeled down the moment he laid eyes on that butterfly.”
“Later, this news leaked out and even attracted the attention of those from the Obsidian Tower. I heard that the chief professor of the animal department at the Obsidian Tower crossed thousands of miles and brought a large sum of money to the royal palace to request that butterfly.”
“Oh really? Did the kingdom give it to him?”
“How could that be? That butterfly was a meeting gift for the royal family from Shadie! Even if you beat the king, he wouldn’t give it up, but in the end, out of courtesy, he let him take a look at it.”
“Is that so? What happened to the professor from the Obsidian Tower after seeing it?”
“I heard he kneeled down as well.”
“Huh? Is it really that exaggerated? It’s just a Saint Tier magic, right? There should be many in the Obsidian Tower.”
“He wasn’t kneeling in admiration; he was beaten down, hahahaha.”
“Huh? Did he get hit by the butterfly?”
“Yes, I’ve heard that the professor secretly used [Magic Detection] to try to analyze its mana structure, and then Shadie’s butterfly went wild. With a single hit, it reportedly took down that Saint Tier professor from the Obsidian Tower.”
“Afterward, the professor from the Obsidian Tower knelt down and apologized, begging for forgiveness, and only then did the butterfly let him go.”
“Wow, a mana construct took down a Saint Tier expert in one hit. That’s insane.”
“Exactly! That’s why the king is so happy. You know, rumors are spreading abroad that Mornhart has an invincible protector whose strength far exceeds that of the Twelve Protectors and rivals My Lord Hero. Now the Mornhart royal palace is bustling, with big shots visiting every day and gifts being handed over, hoping to get some news about Shadie through the royal family.”
“Truly impressive, Shadie is quite the phenomenon.”
“Of course! I heard that in the battle at Linshire Village, hundreds of Demon Clan members, a Goblin King, an Ogre Chieftain, and even a High Priestess from the Witch Church were all present. Under normal circumstances, it would require at least three or four A-tier adventure teams or an S-tier team to deal with them. But Shadie wiped them all out by herself—so awesome.”
“Awesome? That’s just basic stuff! Don’t forget, Shadie shattered the Star of Ruin with one hit! A few Demon Clan members could never be her opponents, it’s just impossible!”
“That’s true, hahahaha.”
Half a month ago, the mysterious girl who defeated the meteor reappeared and single-handedly crushed hundreds of Demon Clan members.
Rumor has it that she is cute and charming enough to win over all the tough guys in the world, and her strength is so formidable that in the entire human realm, only the hero would be qualified to wrestle with her.
In no time, Mornhart sparked a fervent fan craze.
The messenger of justice, the warrior of love and miracles, Magical Girl, Shadie, officially debuted and became the idol worshiped by every citizen of Mornhart.
…
“It seems everyone really likes that Magical Girl sister,” Stella said with a grin.
“What Magical Girl?” Luna rolled her eyes and retorted, “Is she really that cute?”
“She really is very cute,” Stella blinked and said loudly, “I saw the latest portrait that Lilith brought back, and she’s really, really cute. Not only cute, but also particularly cool.”
Saying that, Stella took down Shadie’s identical cloak from the cabinet and draped it over herself, tilting her head at a 45-degree angle, covering half her face with her right hand, and dramatically waving the cloak with her left hand.
“I am the messenger of justice, the warrior of love and miracles.”
“I am the light that blooms in darkness, the hope that is born in endless despair.”
“A butterfly soaring high from the abyss.”
“I am, Magical Girl, Shadie.”
In an instant, all eyes in the tavern turned to her, erupting into intense cheers and applause.
“Wow, so cool!”
“So awesome!!”
“Such a good imitation, Stella.”
“Stella, you’re also very cute today.”
“Stella is the best, Shadie is the best.”
“…”
Luna looked speechlessly at the tough men in the restaurant, not understanding why they liked the Magical Girl.
With that kind of strength, even if she had high talent, she had to be at least decades old, if not hundreds, to still call herself a Magical Girl. It would be more appropriate to call her Magical Old Auntie or Magical Old Granny.
Her adorable appearance was likely fabricated by magic; how could these foolish men not see that?
It’s ridiculous. The cutest thing in the world is right in front of them, yet their minds are filled with that false Magical Girl.
Luna’s eyes glanced aside, and a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Ah, today’s Little Belle is still incredibly beautiful.
With her delicate hairpin, blue and white maid outfit, and creamy stockings.
Today’s Elrose was still in her familiar maid outfit, the only difference being that this morning, Luna whimsically changed her hairstyle—two ponytails.
Luna claimed this was the cutest hairstyle in the world, and today she would definitely become the center of attention.
Unfortunately, today’s focus remained on the Magical Girl Shadie and Stella’s deadly cute cosplay.
At this moment, Elrose slowly walked to the counter: “Luna, I’m a bit tired. I’m going to rest upstairs for ten minutes.”
Luna was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but worry, “Little Belle, why do you always need to rest lately? Are you feeling unwell?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” Elrose smiled and casually brushed off the concern, then slowly walked upstairs to her room, locked the door, and collapsed onto her bed like a corpse.
“Magical Girl, Magical Girl, Magical Girl…”
“Shadie, Shadie, Shadie…”
Elrose’s body trembled continuously, as if cursed by some horror.
Suddenly, she stood up abruptly and shouted to the sky, “That’s not me, I didn’t do that, that’s really not me!!!”
Do you know what public execution is?
Do you know what it means to be in dire straits?
Do you know what it feels like to have your dark history turned into a legend, celebrated day and night in your ears?
When the transformation of the Magical Girl ends, and the effects of the [Chuunibyou] fade, Elrose completely breaks down.
“What messenger of justice, what warrior of love and miracles!”
“What Magical Girl Shadie!”
Elrose’s eyes brimmed with tears, her face full of sorrow.
“Ahhh!!!”
“Oh my gosh, I want to die! How could I say such embarrassing words?!”
