Chapter 85 Inspector
The handsome young man in uniform from the Abyss Security Bureau looked at the anonymous whistleblower letter in front of him with a conflicted expression.
The letter accused Violet, the vice-captain of the Gladiolus Judgment Squad, of joining the Villainess organization a year ago.
Then, during Operation 0721, which aimed to capture the Abyss Demoness, she released her, rendering the magical girl's two years of hard work futile. Later, she cruelly murdered her teammates, Silver Flower, Dahlia, Marigold, and Aconite, to extract their Lament Seeds.
This incident reportedly caused quite a stir back then, but according to the only survivor, the magical girl Lotus, the one who killed them was a purple-haired girl who wielded a giant scythe and whose attire did not resemble that of a normal magical girl; she was more like an abyss demon.
However, there were only three Abyss Demonesses at the time, and the humans were more inclined to believe that Violet had betrayed them. But things soon went beyond their expectations. The purple-haired demonesses appeared, killing anyone they saw and breaking through several human front-line camps. Later, they even attracted several magical girls of the Blooming Flower level to take turns besieging and suppressing them.
Gradually, the reputation of the Phantom Butterfly Demoness overshadowed the negative impact of Violet's disappearance.
Considering that there were still survivors in the Violet Squad, and that the Violet Mage had worked hard over the years even if she hadn't made any great contributions, the warrant for her arrest was lifted.
Now, the violet has reappeared in Yeqiu City, and the people above it have not said anything.
But someone is definitely watching, and the appearance of this whistleblower letter provides them with a pretext to investigate the past.
The young man held the letter of complaint, examined it repeatedly for a long time, and after half a day of internal struggle, he finally made his choice.
He remembered the petite figure who had once stood in front of him, shielding him from the terrifying beast.
He couldn't believe that a magical girl who protected Yeqiu City would betray humanity.
After get off work, he changed into civilian clothes, left the security bureau alone, hailed a taxi, got off at a busy intersection, transferred to another taxi, and rushed to the vicinity of Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School in Yeqiu City.
In the classroom and office building of Qiuyuan No.1 Middle School, Bai Yuze looked out the window at the sunset. The students below were bustling about, making noise and showing off their youthful energy.
Just then, his phone rang; it was a call from an unknown man.
He initially intended to hang up, but then realized it was a call from a different SIM card, so he answered.
"Miss Violet, hello. Please don't speak, just listen."
"I left a letter in the mailbox table at No. 04 in the back alley of the coffee shop near Qiuyuan No. 1 Middle School. Please pick it up when you have time. It is from your former fan."
After saying that, the inexplicable phone call ended.
Bai Yuze frowned slightly, glanced at the time on his watch, and realized it was still early before evening self-study.
He opened the office door and went out, wanting to see what the other party was really up to.
A few minutes later, Bai Yuze looked at the photo in his hand and fell into deep thought.
The photos contain the letter of complaint, evidence of the complaint, and even the date the complaint was filed.
All of these things were aimed at him, or rather at Violet, the vice-captain of the Gladiolus Squad.
These so-called pieces of evidence did not frighten him, but they made him feel extremely nauseous, like eating canned herring.
He understood that those who resorted to underhanded tactics knew even better that doing so wouldn't achieve much.
What is the purpose?
How to stop the Gladiolus Magical Girls Team from participating in the competition?
Not at all. The current level of the Gladiolus team is not the worst, but it's definitely not much better.
Whose interests were hindered by her becoming the vice-captain of the Gladiolus Squad?
Gladiolus Mage?
Bai Yuze thought it was unlikely; Chen Yuyi probably wanted to hand over the entire team to him so she could be a hands-off manager.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Let the inspection team come if they want.
The inspection team arrived quickly; they came the very next day, shortly after Bai Yuzhe received the news.
The patrol team consists of three people: the team leader is the bellflower mage, and the team members are the tulip mage and the hyacinth mage, one in full bloom and the other in bud.
The patrol team was originally led by someone else, but considering that Kikyo had been in Yeqiu City for some time and should have a better understanding of the city, she was directly made the leader. More importantly, Kikyo was very strong, capable of chasing four Abyss Demoness around, making her the strongest magician in the true sense.
Her original mission was to track down the Illusionary Butterfly among the Abyss Demonesses, and she tracked it down to Yeqiu City.
Later, the Demon Princess Phantom Butterfly disappeared, and the Magician Kikyo settled down in Yeqiu City.
After Tulip Magician and the others arrived in Yeqiu City, they quickly made contact with Kikyo Magician on CCSA. To be honest, they were very excited to be able to meet Kikyo Magician.
Kikyo is an idol in the hearts of many magical girls, and one of the main character models for the magical girl anime "Lime" is Kikyo.
Before Violet disappeared, she had a large number of anime and magical girl fans. Unfortunately, after a year of disappearance, she was also intentionally or unintentionally sidelined by the human authorities.
Kikyo the Magician replaced Violet the Magician and became the new national idol.
In magical girl anime currently airing on television,
The early part of the story, featuring the protagonist Qing Ning, was actually filmed based on Violet Wizard of Oz, while the latter half was filmed based on Kikyo Wizard of Oz.
This is also why many longtime viewers complained that the second season had lost some of its charm.
They met at the Ink Rain Café, a café officially opened by the human authorities specifically for magical girls' gatherings.
The Ink Tea House that Bai Yuze had seen before was modeled after the one opened by Demon Princess Iris.
They claimed that magical girls have their own gathering place, so how could the Abyss Demoness not have one?
The Tulip Magician pushed open the glass door of the café, revealing a magnificent space with a dazzling crystal chandelier on the ceiling that refracted dreamlike, colorful light from every angle.
The magnificent European-style tables and chairs, and the small, exquisite bar, are all painted pure white, exuding an atmosphere of solemnity.
Each table is adorned with a white porcelain vase, inside which pink roses bloom gracefully, harmonizing perfectly with the elegant surroundings.
There weren't many people inside, mostly young and pretty girls, and the coffee shop was filled with a youthful atmosphere.
Upon entering the café, Tulip quickly found the Bellflower Magician sitting by the window on the second floor, gazing at the view outside.
Kikyo the Magician's attire leans towards the style of the Eastern Japan region, dressed as a shrine maiden, with a white top and red kimono-style trousers.
She has dark eyes, a fair, oval face, and long, smooth, jet-black hair. She usually wears her hair in a simple white ribbon, styled in a hime cut. Her features are delicate and refined, with a touch of pale cherry-red on her lips; her expression is resolute yet carries a hint of melancholy.
"Hello, are you Kikyo the Magician?"
Tulip and Hyacinth seemed a little reserved in front of the Kikyo Magician. They were very powerful, but in reality, they were still university students. To put it nicely, they were here to gain work experience; to put it bluntly, they were just there to coast along.
"Yes. Please don't be so formal, have a seat."
Kikyo, the magician, snapped out of her reverie, smiled gently at them, and handed them the drink menu. "Since I don't know what kind of drinks you like, I won't take the liberty of ordering for you. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like."
"Senior Kikyo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I encountered a few calamity beasts on my way here, which caused the delay."
Tulip ordered a milk tea, as she didn't like bitter drinks, and then apologized to the magician Kikyo.
Hyacinth silently ordered a fruit tea, then kept her gaze fixed on the Kikyo magician the entire time.
She looked exactly like a fanatical, infatuated woman.
"It's okay, I just arrived recently."
After the drinks arrived, the magician Kikyo finally asked, "Do you have a planned itinerary for this mission?"
Tulip organized her thoughts and explained the details that had been agreed upon beforehand: "We plan to first investigate the Lotus Mage to find out the whole story of what happened back then. Then we'll look for the Blue Orange Magical Girl, who is Violet's newest recruit. We'll see if we can find any evidence of collusion with the Villainess from her. If there's still time, we'll also try to contact Red Plum, Snow Plum, Green Ivy, and other magical girls to find out their opinions of the Violet Mage during this period. Finally, we'll confront the Violet Mage directly and ask her what exactly happened during the year she disappeared."
After listening, the Kikyo magician nodded and handed over two brownish-yellow file folders as if she had expected it.
"Yes, these are the personal files of the Lotus Mage and the Blue Orange Magical Girl. I found them for you. I believe you've already looked at the Violet Mage's file several times, but I still prepared a spare copy for you."
"Thank you very much, Kikyo-senpai."
Looking at the files in front of them, Tulip and her friends no longer needed to make a trip to the Security Bureau, which made things much more convenient.
"I'm glad it helped you." After handing the file to them, Kikyo smiled, then seemed to remember something and reminded them, "Lotus Mage has retired. When you go to inquire, be careful with your words and don't attract too much attention, so as not to bring any negative impact to Lotus Mage."
"Yes, we'll be careful."
