The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 677 Do I have to watch a live stream at midnight even on the second day of class?

"Iris has joined the Autumn Osmanthus Squad's operation, so we don't need to send anyone in to support them for the time being."

Standing on the rooftop of the mall in front of the rift leading to the world of the mind, the golden-haired fox girl set up the magical light screen she would be using that night, while speaking to the girls who were gathering around her with small stools.

"Huh? Can't we go to the mental world to see the super mecha combining up close anymore?"

Tian Nanxing's wagging tail suddenly drooped, and her face was full of sorrow.

"Because we are not yet sure whether their cooperation will work, if nothing unexpected happens, we will see the enhanced new combined mech tonight, which will be very cool."

"Woof! Combined mecha upgrade! That sounds so cool!"

The worry on Tian Nanxing's face was instantly replaced by new anticipation, and Bern Mountain's tail suddenly started wagging vigorously, its feelings completely written on its face and tail.

Hellcat sat calmly in her chair, waiting for the monster to appear, as always, leisurely and carefree, making her seem more like the one who had come to Chengdu for a vacation. Even the Cheshire Rabbit and Meng Donghua, the two rabbit sisters, were curiously waiting for the monster to appear tonight, and for some reason, they were just as full of anticipation as Tian Nanxing and Shuo Ye.

"I think Monster 12 and that witch are super awesome!"

"The witch's magic cannon defeated Senior Akiho's mecha in one go, but she was still defeated by Senior Iris."

"If irises were added to a mecha fusion, what would the resulting mecha look like?"

The girls in front of the magical light screen were chattering excitedly, and even Nightingale and Hyacinth joined in this time, with the latter enthusiastically sharing her experiences of fighting monsters.

The golden-haired fox girl listened to their conversation with a smile, just like an old mother watching her children sit in front of the TV waiting for the day's anime to start, and she didn't forget to have her familiars bring her a fruit platter and a bottle of drink.

"You're being too good to them. Shouldn't we be ready to go in and help at any time?"

Fenrir landed on the edge of the rooftop carrying a large bag of Chongqing-style braised skewers. He walked over to the catgirl who was taking a nap and the foxgirl who was smiling like an old mother. They both turned their heads to look at the girls who were making a ruckus together not far away.

The gray wolf girl handed over the bag in her hand and raised her eyebrows at the fox girl.

"Want a skewer of your favorite braised fruit?" "I won't be polite then."

Su Tianqing didn't stand on ceremony with Fenrir, one of her own people. She reached out and picked up two skewers, thoughtfully not putting chili powder on one of them, and gently waving it near the catgirl's nose as she dozed off.

"...Aww. Chew, chew, chew."

Without even opening her eyes, the cat girl opened her mouth as soon as she smelled the braised aroma, took a bite out of a braised chicken heart from the bamboo skewer that Su Tianqing extended, and chewed and savored it carefully.

"I knew you two liked this. It's just feline taste," Fenrir muttered to himself as he tore into a skewer of grilled squid.

I don't know where they inherited the cat and fox's habit of liking to eat poultry. Whenever we buy braised skewers and barbecue, the chicken wings, chicken hearts and chicken legs are always devoured by this cat and fox in a whirlwind.

The matter that was just mentioned didn't seem to be taken to heart by either of them. In fact, the fox girl was even replaying a carefully edited trailer for "Magical Squadron☆Akigerranger" on the screen, which, combined with the recent battle scenes of several monsters, created a movie-like epic feel.

"But I don't think Iris's addition might be a good thing for Qiugui and the others," Fei Yelan said. "The rules of that mental world probably require piloting mechs to effectively damage monsters. If Iris's firepower is really mounted on a mech..."

"Dog, you think it would be too bulky, right?"

"Yes, Qiu Gui's mecha already has the super magic beam, which is extremely powerful. If it is equipped with the Iris Flower's firepower, the entire mecha may become top-heavy and even walking may become a problem."

The gray wolf girl nodded.

"Also, I am a wolf."

Su Tianqing did not heed this rebuttal that reinforced her racial identity.

The noise from playing on the rooftop gradually subsided late at night.

After enjoying their fill of braised skewers, barbecue, fruit, and drinks, the girls' chatter temporarily subsided. No monsters appeared in their mental worlds for a while, and even Su Tianqing's livestream became a chat section.

Every now and then, some viewers in the live chat would ask to get a closer look at Qiu Gui and the others' mechs, but Su Tianqing would refuse them all under the pretext of "keeping it a secret." Bai Ling, who was wearing a camera on her head, was fast asleep with Yue Tianxin's fox tail covering her. She had taken the camera off and placed it beside her, faithfully filming the endless post-apocalyptic city street scenes in the world of her mind.

"According to what I heard from Miss Qiugui, tonight's Monster 13 isn't as amazing as yesterday's Monster 12. It's a more traditional monster design, but the appearance will definitely be a pleasant surprise."

Fox Girl continued to liven up the atmosphere in the live stream.

But the time was indeed too gloomy—3 a.m. Even if it had been announced in advance, how could people who had to go to work or school the next day stay up until this hour? They all chose to start the recording and then go to sleep and rest. Su Tianqing was well aware of this and did not expect the live stream to be very popular.

Even so, the number of viewers was only slightly less than usual. Perhaps Qiu Gui's fans came to Xin Yuehu's live stream to watch the live footage firsthand after learning that their idol was going to star in a movie or TV series? Su Tianqing wasn't sure.

[I woke up, did the monster appear?]

A comment like this appeared in the live chat.

Immediately following were comments like "Not yet" and "You can take another nap," which made Su Tianqing's lively tone become low and gentle.

Even he himself couldn't be sure when the monster would appear. He wasn't currently keeping track of the monster's situation in that area; he was just using the Heart Moon Wand to maintain basic control over it, which was the only way to ensure his sense of surprise.

Ultimately, it all serves the purpose of entertainment—if something can bring immense entertainment to the person behind it, wouldn't the audience also get the same or even greater entertainment?

This is the idea that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it yourself; as a villain, I am simply too evil.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

A deep rumble suddenly echoed in my mental world.

The people who were originally tired and depressed suddenly perked up, and the live broadcast room was immediately flooded with comments such as "It's here!" and "I can hear the sound!" The girls who were dozing off in front of the screen also sat up abruptly, and the sense of anticipation instantly dispelled the fatigue of waiting.

"There's a noise!" "Did you hear that? It sounds like an earthquake in our mental world!"

Bai Ling, who was in charge of the camera, was also awakened by the ominous rumble of the earth. She put on the camera in a panic and looked around, but she could not find the specific direction from which the heavy rumble was coming from.

Only when a bright light, like the sunrise, appeared on the horizon, followed by the distant booming of explosions, did Bai Ling finally catch a glimpse of the breathtaking scene before her, a spectacle almost impossible to witness in the mortal world:

At the edge of the city at the edge of the horizon, a scorching light shot into the sky, illuminating the night sky. It was the molten lava from the deep core of the earth, using the flames from the depths of the earth to illuminate this night sky that even the sun could not reach.

It was a mountain that wasn't very high. Lava flowed along the mountain road, dripping like a torrential rain. The once lush green mountain vegetation was instantly engulfed in flames, and a grand volcanic eruption was unfolding.

Amidst the thick volcanic ash and smoke dust, a giant wrist emerging from the lava attracted even more attention.

It clung to the rock walls surrounding the mountain, its dark red scales covered in lava gleaming brightly in the firelight. The mountain could not withstand the pressure exerted by such a behemoth, and gradually collapsed and crumbled under the force of the scales. It gradually emerged completely from the erupting lava:

"Here comes Monster 13."

Qiu Gui stood on the roof, showing no fear despite facing such a terrifying lava monster; instead, her face was filled with eagerness.

"Let's use our newfound power to defeat it here!!"
