Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 129 - 51: Cui Que Is Fit to Be a Mother

"Regarding the support request from the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau, the headquarters received it early on. Initially, they planned to send Cui Que, since she had been there once before and saved quite a few people. Notably, the newly appointed magical girl Keke also knows Cui Que."

In the living room, the confident and spirited Iris, seated at the head of the table, said, "However, unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, Cui Que is currently in a state of retreat and cannot take on missions, which is why this matter has been deferred until now. After the headquarters learned about the loss of the Miracle Seed, they sent me to help in place of Cui Que."

Hearing this, Keke displayed a disappointed expression on her face.

"I haven’t properly apologized to her yet."

Jiang Si also felt a bit regretful.

He hadn’t gotten to spar with Cui Que.

Back when he hadn’t obtained the magical girl’s Miracle Seed, witnessing the extraordinary power for the first time, in his eyes, the blue magical girl was like a deity, the most brilliant beacon of hope.

The impression of being powerful, mysterious, and invincible was deeply ingrained in his heart.

Just like a fledgling bird would regard the first thing it sees as its mother, for Jiang Si, the first extraordinary power he witnessed, the magical girl Cui Que, was the most special and formidable existence in his heart.

She was like the mother who led him onto the path of the Heavenly Dao.

Even after stepping into the flourishing field early on, this impression never faded.

But sixty years have passed; things are not the same now. Naturally, he wishes to spar with Cui Que, to let the magical girl who led him to the path of greatness see his growth.

On the other hand, he also wants to verify whether his strength has reached the level he once admired.

To surpass the existence he once revered.

Hearing the news that Cui Que has retired, he naturally felt very regretful.

If only he could defeat her in person, or even being defeated would be good.

However, according to online literature, many leading mentors often meet unfortunate ends in their later years.

Hopefully, nothing untoward will happen to Cui Que.

"Don’t worry, Cui Que specifically sought me out before I came. She has been attentively observing your activities. She’s heard that you became a magical girl and felt very happy for you. She has always believed that you are a child with great potential."

When mentioning Cui Que, Iris’s confident and assertive expression softened a bit. She then cleared her throat, "Ahem, anyway, Cui Que also asked me to deliver a message to you."

"’You’ve done a great job, Keke. Keep striving to become an outstanding magical girl, bringing happiness and miracles to everyone.’"

Keke shyly scratched her head, "Well then, can I visit her in the future? I want to see Senior Cui Que again."

"Well, Cui Que’s decision to retreat was one made after careful consideration, and she doesn’t want anyone to disturb her for now. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll ask for you."

"Thank you!" Keke replied happily and then paused, turning to glance at Jiang Si, "Did Cui Que leave any message for Jiang Si?"

Iris’s expression turned somewhat unnatural as she looked at Jiang Si, "Uh, Cui Que only said she hopes you two siblings can get along well."

"Sorry for troubling her." Jiang Si’s tone was calm.

Keke’s eyes widened immediately.

Noticing his sister’s gaze, Jiang Si glanced at her, "What is it?"

"Nothing."

Keke instinctively mumbled a dismissal, then muttered, "I didn’t know you could speak like that."

Never spoke to me like this before...

"To bring happiness and miracles."

Li Yi, who had been spacing out beside them, couldn’t help but repeat Cui Que’s words and then murmured, "Can magical girls truly bring happiness and miracles?"

"Even if the seed has been destroyed, you mustn’t lose faith in magical girls, Miss Li Yi."

Iris wagged a finger at her, "Losing a believing heart means a magical girl is unworthy. The Witch Association pollutes the Miracle Seeds, which is surely detestable. But as long as we believe in miracles, magical girls can overcome the evil methods of the Witch Association!"

"Sounds nice."

Although Li Yi remained silent, Susan couldn’t help but retort, "If miracles were that easy to come by, they wouldn’t be called miracles. The so-called believing heart is inherently vague. Believe? How much must one believe, to the point of believing till death with no response? Who can provide a reason? If failure means not believing enough, and success means believing enough, with no standard but the outcome to judge, how is this different from superstition?"

This girl who once lost her powers became more agitated as she spoke, "You can’t understand the pain of losing magical girl powers. Stop pretending you know everything; wait until you’ve lost the power to transform once before lecturing the captain on how to find miracles again. Magical girls aren’t omnipotent just by claiming to believe!"

Peony hurriedly tugged at Susan nearby, "Alright, alright, stop it, Shanshan."

Susan glared at her friend, "I told you not to call me that."

"This name is the easiest way to get your attention..."

Iris’s expression also grew a bit heavy, "I certainly know that even with a believing heart, there can be various reasons leading to not achieving the desired result. Miracles don’t always respond. But still, I believe, the more hopeless we are, the more we must strengthen our belief because it’s the only path we have, isn’t it?"

Even Susan, who was just agitated, fell silent at this moment.
