Deep in the night, Sui City International Airport.
The last flight of the night slowly descended with the roar of its engines.
The flight from Rong City Tianfu International Airport directly to Sui City was full of tourists, most of whom were yawning, waiting for the cabin crew to announce permission to leave their seats, while some excited tourists looked at the airport scenery outside the cabin window.
“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed passengers, we have landed at Sui City Heitu International Airport. The local time is 11:33 PM, and the outdoor temperature is 12 degrees Celsius. Thank you for choosing Rong City Domestic Airlines…”
The cabin crew's voice echoed from the plane's loudspeaker, and passengers unbuckled their seatbelts and stood up, their footsteps reverberating on the aircraft's deck.
In the darkness of the lower cargo hold, a pair of pink Rabbit ears quietly appeared.
“…”
Xia Taotao cautiously peered out of the darkness with her red eyes, observing her surroundings.
The location displayed on her phone was Sui City International Airport, indicating her stealth operation was successful and she hadn't been caught by the cabin crew.
The Rabbit Girl looked down at her Rabbit Girl costume.
Infiltrating the flight using Cheshire Rabbit's invisibility, then deceiving the cabin crew with magic, hiding in the cargo hold until the plane landed, and finally sneaking out when the cargo hold opened—this was her plan.
A zero-cost ticket plan for Rabbit!
And her reason for going to Sui City was simple—
This afternoon, Red Rose, a Magic Girl who had retired more than twenty years ago, suddenly made a public appearance in front of the Suicheng Hero Association’s cameras, announcing that she would perform and sing at the upcoming Firefly G125 Comic Con.
This was a bombshell announcement that shocked Magic Girl enthusiasts across the country and even the world.
As the world's first Magic Girl, Red Rose had accumulated countless fans, even directly driving the completion of the Magic Girl merchandise industry chain.
Her heroic posture and powerful strength were also recognized by a vast number of fans, and everyone considered her the strongest TOP-tier Magic Girl, with only her former opponent, Mercury, able to compete with her.
Xia Taotao herself also had a very special affection for Red Rose.
—When she was little, before her mom threw her out to live alone, Xia Taotao’s only entertainment was watching Magic Girl anime with her many siblings.
As well as a series of theatrical films adapted from Red Rose’s battle experiences.
And the first Magic Girl merchandise the Rabbit Girl ever owned was Red Rose’s magic wand toy, which is still carefully preserved in a storage box at home to this day.
“Miss Red Rose… is actually coming to G125…”
Xia Taotao chuckled as she looked at Red Rose’s official announcement video on her phone screen. The comment section was already flooded with various memories, people recalling Red Rose’s spectacular battles from back then, and the bullet comments had completely turned into a Red Rose fan special.
In any case, she would first go to the cheap hotel she booked for the night, then scout the location early tomorrow morning, and then try to sneak into the Comic Con early the day after tomorrow…
But just as Xia Taotao was crawling out of the cargo hold and pondering, a piercing roar suddenly entered the Rabbit Girl’s ears:
“#####!!”
“Ugii?!”
The Rabbit Girl shivered in fright, nearly dropping her phone to the ground, and quickly caught it.
What, what! What was that noise?!
Following the sound, the Magic Girl in the pink Rabbit Girl outfit met the gaze of the giant bird Monster that had descended from the sky, her fur ruffled by its piercing sonic wave.
…Monster?
Xia Taotao was a bit confused.
Then she remembered the unique situation in Sui City—it was the city with the most frequent Monster attacks in the world, bar none.
But this is too frequent, seriously! Or is her luck really that bad?!
“Waaahhh!”
“Help! Help!”
The groggy tourists in the terminal building were immediately awakened by the alarm, and even those on the boarding bridge were scared out of their wits, fleeing back in a chaotic scramble, packed like sardines.
The giant bird Monster ignored the barely noticeable Rabbit Girl in front of it, turning its gaze to the passenger plane that was starting its engines not far away.
The entire Sui City International Airport was in chaos.
But just as the giant bird was about to pounce on the passenger plane to devour it, a huge Rabbit hammer appeared above its head and swung with full force!
“CRACK BOOM!!!!”
“Rumble Rumble Rumble!!”
Hit squarely by this sudden hammer, the giant bird stumbled violently, its head slammed hard onto the ground, losing balance, and it fell onto the empty airport runway.
“What…”
“The Monster was actually…”,
“Is that… that a Magic Girl!?”
Seeing the incredible scene before them, sharp-eyed tourists had already noticed the pink Rabbit Girl floating in the air with surging magic, and quickly shouted out loud.
Xia Taotao nervously gripped her large hammer, looking back at the travelers in the terminal building who were gazing at her, cold sweat breaking out all over her body.
But, she was Cheshire Rabbit now! As long as she didn't want to, her identity would absolutely not be exposed!
So…
“####!”
The giant bird Monster got up from the ground and let out a piercing roar at Xia Taotao.
The Rabbit Girl’s brow furrowed slightly.
This giant bird looked big and powerful, but in reality, she hadn't used her full strength just now, yet that was already enough to smash it into an over-the-shoulder throw.
Was it because she had received a magic boost from Fox Fox, making her so strong now? Or was it…
“…Stop screaming, it’s really annoying.”
Xia Taotao looked at the giant bird Monster, which was raging impotently at her. Although she was scolding it, a Cheshire Cat-like crescent smile appeared on her lips.
The terrifying thud of a large hammer striking a Monster echoed through the international airport.
By the time Sui City's local Magic Girls arrived to provide support, they only saw the remains of the giant bird Monster, whose half-wing had been completely smashed by the great hammer, and Cheshire Rabbit standing on the remains, displaying her usual eerie smile.
“Eh? Even Cheshire Rabbit, you’re here too?”
“Ah… this, I’ll leave this to you all… I’ll just go first…”
The Rabbit Girl shivered, disappearing in an instant before the Magic Girls could greet her, leaving only a familiar, eerie smile in the air.
…
“Breaking News! Magic Girl Cheshire Rabbit appears at Sui City International Airport! Defeats the giant bird Monster attacking the airport!”
The next morning, Su Tianqing, eating her morning tea, scrolled to this news.
The Golden Fox chewed her shrimp dumpling while showing her phone screen to the Cat Girl who was sipping Oolong tea beside her.
“Hmm? Cheshire… Ugh Pfft?!”
Upon seeing the familiar pink large-hammer assassin Rabbit in the accompanying image, Nan Jiayu nearly spat her Oolong tea onto the phone screen.
“Oh wow, Little Fish, are you okay?”
“Cough! Cough cough cough! …I’m fine, I just… just choked… cough cough cough…!”
As Hellcat, although she didn't interact much with Cheshire Rabbit on a daily basis, Nan Jiayu was still very familiar with this villainous colleague.
Firstly, Rabbit is definitely a sadist, an undoubtedly super sadist, whose greatest pleasure is watching Magic Girls suffer and struggle, or witnessing their disheveled and pathetic appearances.
And Rabbit’s goal should also be very clear—the Firefly G125 Comic Con, absolutely nothing else!
“It seems this Comic Con will be quite interesting~”
Su Tianqing said with an amused smile.
Nan Jiayu, however, couldn't smile at all.
If Rabbit also came to Sui City…
What about Fox Fox? Will she come too?
