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

Chapter 637 Secret Deal

Nighttime, somewhere in the mountain town.

In the pitch-black old alley, a stray cat lay prone on the ground, staring intently at the sewer opening not far away.

The streetlights were dim, unable to illuminate the old street at night, nor could they illuminate the hooded, all-black figure that walked in from the alley entrance.

Judging from his height, he was a man in black who was over two meters tall with broad shoulders. A long black trench coat covered his thin figure, and his hands were in his pockets. However, the size of the shoes he was wearing seemed out of place with his height—more like a girl's size.

The man in black walked along the alleyway, his face covered by a black mask and his eyes obscured by sunglasses. He was quite intimidating at first glance, and even the stray cats were frightened away by the stranger's imposing presence.

The strange man in black glanced back at the alley entrance, and after confirming that no one was following him, he walked into the dark depths where even the streetlights couldn't illuminate the way, where he met the gaze of a gray wolf girl dressed in a gray-white magical costume.

"Did you bring the goods?"

The latter shuddered, his previously furrowed brows instantly lifted, and his eyelids even twitched a few times. After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"...Is it really necessary?"

"Very much so."

The man in black spoke in a deep, muffled voice, but even though he deliberately made it sound low, it was clear that the speaker was not a two-meter-tall strong man, but rather a young girl pretending to be mysterious.

Fenrir looked up expressionlessly at the mask and sunglasses on the man in black's face, then glanced down with a surprised look at the cheap trousers under the trench coat that had been rolled up several times to barely prevent the legs from looking too long... and the exposed orange color hidden in the oversized leather shoes.

It's probably the kind of thing that can be called a "lunchbox" by enthusiastic fans.

I'm actually quite curious about how this girl managed to fake her height as over two meters. Her original height wasn't much different from mine, only about 1.6 meters. How high would she have to be on stilts to be over two meters tall? But her gait doesn't seem like she's on stilts.

Fenrir silently reached out and unbuttoned the trench coat, looking into the open interior.

The orange-clad magical girl peeked out from under her open trench coat, wearing her magical attire and an ill-fitting pair of men's trousers. Even with the belt tightened to its maximum, they couldn't be held up properly, so she had to use a magical rope to make them look like overalls.

Magical girl [Qiu Gui].

And on her shoulder... the light green magical girl [Chunlan] sat on Qiugui's shoulder, her two hands controlling the shoulder braces and prosthetic arms that held up the black trench coat.

Now I know how she achieved such a disguise without using magic—these two used pure physical means! But why are you so skilled at using these disguise tools?!

"I'm quite curious, how come you guys are so skilled?" Fenrir finally couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Gui, whose disguise had been exposed, coughed awkwardly, while Chun Lan helplessly removed her mask and sunglasses, spreading her hands out as she controlled the prosthetic hand.

"There's no other way. If I go out without disguising myself, my fans will spot me as soon as I land, and then they'll be mobbing me with all sorts of cameras and lenses," Chunlan said, distressed.

"And you have no idea how fanatical those fans are... Last time, Xia Jin and Dong Qing were wearing disguises and accidentally tripped and fell on the street. The fans screamed and surrounded them, scaring them so much that they ran away on the spot, and the traffic at the intersection was blocked for more than ten minutes."

"Then your idol life must be really tough."

Fenrir shook his head and sighed, but he didn't forget the real mission of this rendezvous, and said to the two people in front of him:

"Putting everything else aside, did you bring the goods I ordered?"

"Don't worry, it's top-quality stuff."

Chunlan chuckled and gently nudged Qiugui with her feet, signaling her to take out the item.

The magical space opened, and Qiu Gui reached inside and pulled out a safe, handing it to the gray wolf girl in front of her.

Fenrir reached out and took the heavy safe, unfastened several clasps, and opened it to inspect the contents in front of the two of them—the safe was full of merchandise such as standees, badges, and postcards, as well as a stack of Polaroid photos, which prominently featured training stills of the idol magical girl group, Aki-Kiri Squad.

From Qiu Gui's vocal and guitar practice to Dong Qing Lan's instrument rehearsals, as well as the group's rehearsal photos and pre-performance photos...

Each Polaroid photo is an extremely rare, out-of-print image; even with backups, the number of surviving copies would never exceed double digits.

Even the seemingly ordinary standees and other merchandise are all top-notch, ranging from the gifts given out at the first performance of the Qiugui team to the gifts from various places during their global tour, and even the first edition badges and laser tickets from Qiugui's debut that have never been reprinted. Each one is a unique and rare item.

The merchandise inside this suitcase is more precious than gold to magical girl enthusiasts and die-hard fans of the Aki-Kiri Squad.

"Hmm...not bad, even a bit beyond my expectations."

"We came with the utmost sincerity. Some of these Polaroid cameras are one-of-a-kind; even we don't have many in stock," Qiu Gui said earnestly. "So, where are we going to find what we want?"

“…………”

Fenrir was silent for a few seconds, then quietly closed the safe and put it aside. He reached into his magical space, rummaged around, and pulled out a small card about the size of a bank card, which he handed to the two people in front of him.

"Here are the things you wanted. You can start inspecting them now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Gui eagerly took the small card, and Chunlan, who was hanging on her body, couldn't help but lower her head and lean closer to look at the gold-embossed words magically engraved on the card:

【Special Edition ☆ Fox's World of Thought Travel Points Card】

[Remaining time: 200 hours]

"Oh, oh, oh..."

The two of them simultaneously exclaimed in amazement.

"Should we inspect the goods?" "Now isn't a good time. Let's wait until we get back and call Dongqing and the others together."

"Okay then."

From a magical perspective, there's no need to verify the card's authenticity. Each magical girl's magical characteristics are unique, not to mention that this card is imbued with the rare and top-tier magic, "Mental World."

Although the card itself does not contain a corresponding image, but is merely a key to activate it, it is enough to demonstrate its high value.

"Very good, transaction complete, the suitcase is yours."

After saying that, Qiu Gui carefully put the small card into her magic space, and then she was about to zip up her trench coat and take Chunlan, who was hanging on her body, home.

But Fenrir quickly stopped the two of them.

"Don't rush off, I haven't finished asking my questions yet."

"Hmm? Is there anything else you want to ask?" Chunlan turned around and said, while Qiugui also turned around and reopened the buttons to look at the gray wolf in front of her.

Fenrir stammered for a moment, then coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and continued:

"Ahem... it's that, I'm a little confused about."

"I really don't understand what you want this 'Mind World Travel Card' for. Logically speaking, you could have a great time anywhere you want, not to mention..."

"That's what you don't understand."

Qiu Gui revealed a mysterious smile, extended a finger and waved it left and right, then brought it to her lips as a shushing gesture.

"We need this Mind World Travel Card, and you need these limited-edition merchandise items. We each get what we need, that's all."

"And if anyone brings it up, just say that our meeting today never happened."

"…………Okay then."

Fenrir was at his wits' end with the two of them. After making sure he had kept the briefcase safe in his magical space one last time, he waved goodbye to the two who had returned to their trench coat disguises.

Watching the two of them leave the alleyway in high spirits, Fenrir slumped his shoulders in frustration, his gaze falling on the dirty stray cat not far away beside him.

The cat was so frightened by her wolf-like eyes that it shrank its back and hissed, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
