MTLNOVEL Chapter 36 Fairy Immortal
"Fairy Immortal?"
The title the other party had given sounded quite strange, "Fairy" and "Immortal" were two words that clashed horribly together, to the point that Lin Xiaolu was a bit stunned: "What is that?"
"Ah, Fairy Immortal!"
It was actually Mo Ke who exclaimed in surprise: "Who would've guessed, you're actually a Fairy Immortal?"
"You know about it?" Lin Xiaolu turned her gaze to the side.
"I don't."
"Then what are you yelling about?" Lin Xiaolu gave it a blank look.
"The title sounds very impressive, though."
Mo Ke looked somewhat confusedly at Lin Xiaolu: "I've never seen an immortal among fairies before, doesn't it deserve some astonishment?"
Lin Xiaolu was momentarily at a loss for words.
The ineffective communication between human and fairy had clearly not led to any useful conclusions, and in the end, it was up to the fairy doll outside the window to explain: "You don't need to fuss over the specific meaning of the title, just call me that. Anyway, can we stop this endless debate and let me come in and rest my feet?"
"You still have to make clear what you're here for, right?" Lin Xiaolu was still a bit uneasy.
"Why I'm here? Hmm... I was the previous Seeder of Fangting City, also a friend of Fairy Nini."
The doll's round, wide eyes blinked unwaveringly: "I heard from her that Fangting City is now in a bit of trouble, so I specially came here to lend you all a hand."
Lin Xiaolu wordlessly looked at Mo Ke.
"I don't know if Nini's senior had such a friend..."
Mo Ke shook his whiskers, speaking uncertainly: "But this guy looks a lot like the pure-blood fairies in the garden, perhaps he really knows Nini's senior?"
"Perhaps... huh?"
Lin Xiaolu's gaze moved back and forth between Mo Ke and the doll outside the window. Looking at the doll pressing against the glass, with its drooping fur and pitiful look, she hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she sighed: "Fine, it's just a fairy, letting it in won't hurt."
With that, she reached out and slid the patio door open.
"Ah, saved at last, if I had continued to be exposed to the cold wind, my power core might have frozen.
The roly-poly fairy doll squeezed into the room as if pardoned, started to wipe its paws on its belly, and without any courtesy, hopped onto a nearby sofa. Unconcerned by the fixed stares from the girls around it, it lazily found what seemed like the most comfortable position for itself before it began to speak leisurely:
"Alright alright, to express my gratitude for letting me in, feel free to ask any questions that you have in mind."
"...So what exactly is the 'trouble' you were talking about just now?"
Trying hard to swallow the words that were about to slip out and preventing any cold remarks from really being expressed, Lin Xiaolu, with one hand on her hip, asked: "Why am I completely unaware of this?"
"It's simple because your predecessors didn't want you to know."
The fairy doll spoke nonchalantly: "You are too naive right now, completely incapable of facing the enemies they have to deal with. It would be better for you not to know and continue living without worries than to drag them down."
Seeing that the girl's face clearly showed dissatisfaction, it stretched a paw out, signaling her to hold off: "Don't rush to contradict me, child, you should consider what level of enemies you can handle right now?"
"I can now handle Remnant Beasts at the Inchworm stage by myself."
Lin Xiaolu frowned: "Even at the Pupal stage... as long as certain conditions are met, I won't be a hindrance..."
"That's not enough."
The doll's tone remained calm: "The Pupal stage Remnant Beasts might be quite a challenge for a regular Magical Girl, but compared to what your predecessors are involved with, it's still not enough."
"Are you saying that the incident at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau the other day involved enemies beyond the Pupal stage?"
Xia Liang thoughtfully took over Lin Xiaolu's words and analyzed seriously: "The junior had notified us of a 'strong enemy' at that time and told us to keep away... If what you're saying is correct, even though she got injured afterward, the certainty with which she called it a strong enemy implies it's not an ordinary one."
It's no wonder they were only getting a glimpse of the truth now since none of them had seen the enemy that appeared at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau that day.
It wasn't that they didn't want to know - in fact, on the day the Abnormal Strategy Bureau was attacked, even though Emerald Sparrow had taken the initiative to inform the juniors to stay away from the battlefield, as soon as the message was received, the girls decisively chose to go to their aid.
It's just that they were a tad late, and by the time they were about to arrive at the location, they were informed that the battle had ended and the scene was already sealed off.
Perhaps guessing their whereabouts, Emerald Sparrow even sent a follow-up message, telling them to go back to class. This incident thus became a messy affair, ending without a head or tail.
In the end, they didn't even see the enemy, and with Emerald Sparrow continuously assuring that "it was nothing major," the girls had no choice but to trust her and keep their doubts to themselves.
"So, is this incident also related to Remnant Beasts?"
Having understood the enemy's power, Xia Liang's train of thought expanded: "Is this a follow-up to the events of the Full Moon Festival? Or are the people from Black Ash Dawn still scheming?"
"The Full Moon Festival, huh? Well... in some way, this matter is indeed a follow-up to the Full Moon Festival in Fangting City. As for the enemy's identity, it's not Black Ash Dawn, but from 'Claw Mark'."
The fairy doll leaned back into the armrest: "What Claw Mark is, I don't think I need to explain, as you seem to have encountered them before already."
