Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"Five? You couldn’t get that many even if you sold me."

"Stop pretending to be poor. Don’t you have any personal stock after all these years?"

"What stock? All my resources and money have already become the nourishment for my strength," Magic Power said proudly, pointing to his arm.

"...Then four."

"Not four either, forget it."

"No way, I want four!"

"I refuse. I’d rather default than give you that much."

"You... three! That’s my bottom line! If you don’t agree, I’ll go complain to the chief first, then have the deputy chief beat you up!"

The two of them haggled like this for a long time, and in the end, they didn’t come to any conclusion. Plus, the whole process was just shouting across the distance, and by the end, they were both hoarse and had to stop.

Thus, the depths of Silver Screen Mountain returned to silence.

Magic Power continued to lean against the stone tower with his eyes closed, conserving his strength, while Semi continued to channel magic power. After an unknowable amount of time, Magic Power spoke up again.

"Semi."

"...What is it this time?"

"You might not believe this if I tell you, but I’ve actually been quite enjoying myself these past two months."

"Oh, really?" Semi responded coolly, still not recovered from the earlier argument.

"Not surprised?" Magic Power asked.

"Why should I be? It’s not like I couldn’t tell."

"Was I that obvious?"

"You’ve practically visited every place in and out of the neighborhood, you spend money as soon as you get it, and you sleep in the underpass like a dead pig; you do seem to enjoy this kind of life," Semi couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Although in my view, it’s just plain foolish."

"Foolish... huh?"

Magic Power looked slightly stunned: "Probably."

"What do you mean ’probably’?" Semi puzzled.

"It means I also don’t understand what you mean, though you’re scolding me, I do think it might be true."

"Can you not do this?" Semi said somewhat helplessly: "I mean, I’m scolding you, and you end up reflecting on it, making me feel quite awkward..."

"Semi." Magic Power called out again.

"What now!"

"Let’s just quit."

The woods fell silent once again.

In the dead of winter, perhaps because the snow on the mountains had not yet melted, most of the miscellaneous noises were absorbed by the snow layer, making the surroundings particularly tranquil when no one spoke.

"Magic Power."

Then this time, it was Semi who spoke first:

"You should still remember, we came here for the leader’s task,"

"Yes, I remember," Jinzhi admitted without denial.

"The people in this city are irrelevant to us; we are here to do evil as villains."

"Yes, I understand."

"Now, this plan was originally proposed by you because you said that carrying out the leader’s scheme to massacre would be too noisy and might attract unnecessary enemies. It would be better to destroy the city’s defense network, so there wouldn’t be too many casualties among civilians in the short term, and the disaster in the city later could restrain the kingdom’s combat forces."

"Yes, I’m clear."

"So, what exactly are you saying now?"

Semi’s voice held a trace of coldness, "What do you mean ’stop’? Things have already progressed to this point, and I have been taking care of your sudden burst of sympathy, even the tactics have been handed out, and now you suddenly say ’stop’? Are you really foolish, or do you no longer want to listen to the leader’s orders?"

"If I had a choice, I guess I’d hope I’m foolish?"

Jinzhi looked down slightly and spoke softly, "Going against the leader... that’s more than I can bear."

"Jinzhi, do you still remember the leader’s wish... no, the wish of our Claw Marks?" Semi asked.

"Yes, of course," Jinzhi nodded.

"To create a home that is not controlled by the kingdom and the queen for all the Magical Girls abandoned by the kingdom, and to find a path of freedom for all future Magical Girls."

Semi read aloud, "No matter how much blood is spilled in the process, no matter how much sin we bear, as long as it’s for our home, we’re willing to sacrifice our lives."

"A beautiful dream," Jinzhi remarked.

"It’s almost not a dream anymore."

Semi emphasized, "We have put in so much effort over the past decade, sacrificed so many companions, and stained our hands with the blood of the innocents to reach this point. Now, there is no turning back for us."

"We are villains, undeniably, and the evil deeds we’ve committed prevent us from ever claiming innocence; and if we fail to achieve even our final objective, then as villains, we would have failed utterly, achieving nothing."

"I don’t want to see things turn out that way—rather, things absolutely cannot turn out that way. I’d rather be a determined villain than a hesitating hypocrite."

"In a few hours, it will be the next Queen’s Year, and our time is running out. We must complete the next tasks as quickly as possible, or else the leader’s dream... our dream will all turn to bubbles."

"Don’t be foolish anymore, Jinzhi. We can’t afford the luxury of sympathy for others; if we really do as you said ’stop,’ we will be the ones destroyed..."

At this point, Semi stopped.

Not because there was nothing more to say, but because both Semi and Jinzhi saw something, multiple traces of Magic Power extending from the sky.

Deep blue, purple-red, orange. These were the colors of the Magic Power at the forefront.

Light blue, Jinzhi, green, cyan, pale red, pale yellow. These were the six colors that followed closely behind.

And regardless of the color, the number was undoubtedly correct; so many traces of Magic Power meant that nine Magical Girls had rushed to this place.

"Jinzhi, what exactly did you do to challenge them, blow up their base?" Looking up at the colorful Magic Power in the sky, Semi couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s why I just said, stop it."

Jinzhi slowly stood up, shaking off her numb legs. She extended her hand, a black Magic wand emerged in her hand, then it melted, turning into ink-black liquid metal.

"—But you’re right, given the situation, it’s already too late."
