Chapter 197 This can also be considered tailing, right?
A fierce battle broke out on the surface of the Pearl River.
...or rather, a one-sided pursuit.
The three members of the Hyacinth Squad from Chengdu, along with Mai Sui, a local magical girl from Guangzhou, engage in a chase across the river with a catfish monster that attacks their cruise ship.
"Stop right there! Don't run!!"
Hyacinth flew close to the river surface, occasionally unleashing a magical sword aura with its greatsword, attempting to hit the catfish monster that was fleeing at high speed underwater.
This guy is the one who ruined everything! Otherwise, Sister Tianqing and Sister Jiayu would already be getting all lovey-dovey! Who's going to fill in the gaps in my sweet catgirl and foxgirl romance?!
Nan Xiaofeng was very depressed, but the anger in his heart was still burning fiercely.
We must catch it and then chop it into pieces!
However, the catfish was exceptionally agile, twisting its massive body in the water to nimbly dodge all of the hyacinth's attacks.
The catfish monster's only thought was to escape.
Putting everything else aside, when it surfaced from the water and saw the light of the wands of four magical girls, the berserk nature bestowed by astral magic was immediately replaced by the survival instinct of a wild beast, and it turned and ran.
Its ability to escape is also truly outstanding, especially its agility in water. Even though the hyacinth's slashing speed was so fast that it left afterimages, it still couldn't catch this slippery catfish.
It even soaked me to the bone from the waves it created.
"Pfft!!"
"Whoa?!"
The hyacinth was hit head-on by a large wave on the river, and before it knew it, it tumbled into the water with a loud splash.
.
It wasn't just the hyacinth that was getting scrambled by the catfish; the other three were in similar situations.
Not to mention that the mobility of the remaining three people is nowhere near that of Hyacinth.
"Damn it! This guy's as nimble as a dog! We can't catch him at all!"
Wheat cursed under her breath, instinctively raising her magic cannon to unleash a barrage of fire, but Iris quickly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, Senior Mai Sui, now is not the time for suppressive fire."
"But being walked around like this all the time is so stifling!" Mai Sui replied with dissatisfaction.
I've never been let slip by a weirdo like this in Guangzhou before!
He's always the one bombarding monsters with his magic cannons, leaving them trembling and cowering under his firepower! How could he possibly be the one chasing after monsters?
But when she thought about how she was now fighting alongside her juniors, and how she had corrected her previous thoughts, Mai Sui suppressed her restlessness and began to carefully observe her surroundings.
Karin is no exception.
Iris turned her head and met the gazes of the tourists on the cruise ship, whose expressions were both frightened and expectant. At the same time, she also saw the golden fox being firmly protected by the cat girl.
We can't let Mai Sui continue her suppressive fire tactics; there are still Sister Tian Qing and Sister Jia Yu on this cruise ship.
"If we fire indiscriminately, the situation on the river will become very bad, and the cruise ship will be in great danger!" the girl said calmly as she turned around.
Stay calm, always stay calm.
When the catfish monster suddenly emerged from the water, I lost my composure for a moment. Looking back, there were indeed better ways to handle it, but in that tense situation, it was impossible to think of them.
"..."
Following the iris's gaze, the wheat ear turned back to look at the rocking cruise ship.
The golden fox lay on the side of the boat, vomiting rainbows, her face ashen. The cat girl was patting her back, her face full of worry.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
"Tianqing, are you alright? Here, have some water."
"Th-thank you, Little Fish... Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
When the cruise ship was sailing smoothly, it was fine, but as soon as it started to rock, Confident Fox immediately turned into Seasick Fox, and vomited up his entire lunch into a rainbow as he leaned over the side of the ship.
Wheat hesitated for a moment, and the magic cannon that was about to unleash its full power also stopped.
If she were to start a fire like before, Miss Sunny and her friends would experience far more than just seasickness and vomiting rainbows.
He might be in mortal danger!
"...Then let's wait for Hyacinth to chase the weirdo onto the water's surface. It's not good if it disturbs the crowd," Wheat said.
"We must seize the opportunity created by the hyacinths and crush that catfish monster in one fell swoop!"
If Mai's teammates were nearby, they would surely be astonished by this drastically different move from her previous actions.
Didn't this guy used to unleash two rounds of magic cannon fire on any weirdo he saw before? Why is he suddenly worried about the people around him?
The people on the cruise ship seemed to notice the subtle changes in the wheat ears, but before they could pay attention to them, the violent surging of waves on the water not far away caused the crowd to stir again—
"Splash splash splash!!"
Water splashed everywhere.
Soaked to the bone, the hyacinth burst forth from the water, and with a swift motion, the greatsword sent the giant catfish flying into the air!
"Finally caught you!" Hyacinth hissed angrily in a low voice.
Three magic cannons were already ready on the water, and bright magical light burst from the muzzles, completely engulfing the catfish!
Intense magical light enveloped the river surface, and the catfish monster howled as it fell back into the water, its body covered in wounds, but it was still struggling to escape.
"You're really tough!"
Wheat shouted loudly and immediately reloaded the two magic cannons beside him.
Instead of entering the reloading gap, Iris launched an attack using magic missiles, filling the gap in Wheat's magic cannon firepower.
The catfish monster was engulfed in a series of explosions from magic missiles, which, combined with the hyacinth's continuous slashes and subsequent bombardment by magic cannons, quickly turned it into ashes and vanished.
The magical girls looked down at the giant catfish that was gradually disappearing.
They also couldn't help but take another look at the golden fox that left a rainbow trail on the river's surface.
……
"I'm...I'm going to die...I feel like I'm going to throw up..."
Su Tianqing lay slumped on the rescue bed on the shore, her ears and tail bristling, her face deathly pale, and she was extremely weak.
Nan Jiayu stayed by the Golden Fox's side, looking at her with a worried expression.
"Drink some water and rest. The doctor said you're just suffering from severe seasickness. Taking this motion sickness medicine should help."
"Let me catch my breath... and rest for a bit..."
The golden fox didn't even have the strength to sit up and take its medicine, and murmured softly.
The fox-sniffing monsters peered out from a distance, all looking at the golden fox being helped up by the catgirl to take small sips of water, and each of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"call……"
"Thankfully, Sister Tianqing is alright... otherwise..."
"Luckily, we reacted quickly."
Nan Xiaofeng and the other two sighed.
Li Kexin silently watched Su Tianqing being fed water and medicine by the cat girl. After confirming that Su Tianqing's condition was not bad, she seemed to be relieved and a smile appeared on her lips.
"It's good that Tianqing is alright."
"So, where should we go next?"
The four exchanged glances, none of them really knowing what was going on.
Should we visit a nearby museum? Or try some local Guangzhou delicacies?
or……
All four of them turned their gazes to the cat and the fox.
...Cosplaying a fox-sucking monster all day?
