Chapter 355 Alice's Plan
The most reasonable approach is to start with everyday preferences and create fun for magical girl activities.
For Aurora, a newcomer, this path is very important.
"I see……"
Putting down her teacup, Su Tianqing took a bite of the milk pudding on her plate and muttered to herself.
"Aurora's hobbies are actually quite easy to understand; they're pretty much the same as any other girl's, just like mine~"
Nan Jiayu took a deep look at the fox girl beside her, her cat tail darting out from behind her and wrapping around the fox's tail that was swaying involuntarily.
Although I'm a little embarrassed to call you out on it, can you really call your hobbies as a magical girl normal, Tianqing? Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
Sabotage, bank robbery, shopping mall bombing—any one of these actions would have been enough to land the codename "Heart Moon Fox" on the Hero Association's wanted list, but he managed to avoid being wanted by the Hero Association with zero casualties.
"Hmm, but I usually only play by myself, is that really okay?"
"Of course! Trust me, Fox!"
Su Tianqing said confidently, then gave a mysterious smile and moved a little closer to Aurora.
"And, Aurora, do you know that I, Fox, have planned many super fun and exciting operations before?"
"I've seen those videos and that big movie, it's amazing."
At this point, Aurora's eyes lit up, and she got up and ran to the somewhat messy bookshelf, pulling out a glittering toy from inside.
It was a figurine depicting a hamster girl wearing a bulletproof helmet standing on a pile of gold bricks.
"Oh, this is it."
Su Tianqing said in surprise.
【The Great Adventure of the Magical Mouse ~ Escape from Foxkov】
Not long ago, I finished this event in the port city and gave away a lot of hamster and nightingale figurines to the audience. I didn’t expect that Aurora would also win one.
"I won this in a lucky draw during your live stream, Sister Tianqing."
Aurora said with a smile,
"I really like that whimsical mental world; it's very interesting, like Alice in Wonderland."
"So you're interested in the world of imagination. If Aurora likes it, I'll be very happy too~"
Su Tianqing responded with a smile.
Nan Jiayu nodded in agreement and said:
"Tianqing's mental world is indeed very interesting, but it is also ridiculously difficult to use. It takes a long time to prepare for each event."
"That's right, but building your mental world is just like playing a building game or using Lego bricks—it's just as fun!"
"If Aurora wants to experience it, I can let you go into the world of imagination."
"Ah, let's see later. If I disappear into the house now, Dad might worry," Aurora said calmly.
That made sense, so Su Tianqing didn't press the matter further, but silently made a mental note of it.
.
The morning tea time passed quickly.
Around noon, Aurora's father knocked on the door, inviting the three of them to lunch.
Su Tianqing naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to freeload a meal, insisting on experiencing the unique British cuisine.
After the three of them finished eating and left the official residence to go out for some fun, Su Tianqing finally blurted out the words she had been holding back all lunch:
"Aurora, is this what you usually eat?"
"Yes." Aurora nodded obediently.
"...It seems Britain really is a culinary desert. No, it should be called a culinary ice field," Nan Jiayu remarked.
Although there weren't any truly bizarre dishes like those from the Stargazing Party on the table, the taste of the food was simply not suitable for Su Tianqing, a native of Chengdu.
Even Nan Jia fish from Shanghai has a deep respect for British cuisine.
"It feels quite novel to eat it once in a while, but I would never want to eat it a second time."
"Anyway, it's time for some entertainment!"
Setting aside the lingering aftertaste of British cuisine, Su Tianqing focused her attention on what mattered most.
【Task Update】
[Quest Chain: Alice's Special Training]
[Task 3: Heart Moon Fox decides to take action personally, 0/1]
That's right, as long as I launch an attack, everything will be fine.
"Alice, let's play something fun today."
"—How about I let you experience my inner world, you little fox?"
On the rooftop, the golden-haired fox spoke to Alice beside him.
The Hellcat stood calmly to one side, tilting its head with interest.
"The world of mental images...that seems amazing."
Alice's eyes lit up, like a child seeing a new toy, and she exclaimed excitedly.
"How exactly do you play it?"
"Hehehe, kitty! Get on the planning board!"
The golden fox snapped its fingers, and the hellcat deftly pulled a whiteboard from behind it. The fox girl casually took a marker from her familiar and started writing and drawing on the whiteboard.
"Fox, I usually plan the activities. Since I'm here to guide you today, Alice, you can design today's plan!"
"Huh? Shall I do it?"
Alice blinked and said in surprise,
"I've never made a plan like this before... Can I do it?"
Believe in yourself! A heart full of belief is your magic!
Xin Yuehu said with a smile, and together with the cat girl, pushed Alice in front of the whiteboard and guided her to write down the plan on the whiteboard.
"First and foremost, we need to clarify a very important point: our 'spot the difference' activity is simply to bring joy to everyone. One-sided, sadistic behavior, like Rabbit's, is something I, Fox, do not advocate!"
"Uh-huh."
The fox spirit earnestly explained the precautions, and Alice obediently nodded repeatedly.
"Secondly, the mental world is not omnipotent. Alice, do you know Miss Dandelion? She can freely enter and exit my mental world while gathering magical protection. Be careful."
"Miss Dandelion... Ah, I understand. So, we need to lock Miss Dandelion up beforehand, right? That way, she won't come and cause trouble."
"Oh... it's not necessary to do it that way, because I heard that Miss Dandelion is quite busy and rarely participates in the Hyacinth Squad's operations."
The golden fox glossed over the topic.
Alice solemnly presented what sounded like the most plausible solution. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
"Then let's move on to the formal design phase of the mental world."
"Alice, how are you planning to play with the magical girls today?"
A question was raised, but the response was silence.
Alice held her chin with one hand and a marker in the other, looking at the dazzling array of mental imagery design templates on the whiteboard, feeling unsure of where to begin.
"If you're having trouble getting started, just think of it as choosing a video game from your library."
Hellcat said from the side,
"Alice, what kind of games do you like? FPS? RPG? Or action games?"
"I'm not very good at playing video games... Ah, I think this might be interesting."
Alice quickly spotted an option and tapped it lightly on the whiteboard. A magical light screen then projected an image onto the whiteboard:
The Emperor Heart Moon Fox, clad in golden power armor, stands on the right, while the black-clad War General Iris stands on the left. Both are in a fighting stance, a scene from a very popular work in the fan fiction community.
[Magic Hammer 40k: Emperor Heartmoon Fox vs. Warlord Iris]
"Oh, so that's what it is."
The cat and the fox suddenly realized what was going on.
"I remember this is a derivative work of an IP from the UK? I even kept an eye on the price of the chess pieces."
"Yeah, I want to play this with Hyacinth and the others."
Alice nodded, her eyes shining.
"—Strategy game."
