The night had grown deep. After a busy day, Su Xiaocheng climbed into bed, ready to sleep.
To her surprise, Su Xiaowei climbed in right after her.
“Xiaowei? Aren’t you going back to your own room?”
“No way. I want to sleep with Big Sister!”
Su Xiaowei hugged Su Xiaocheng and rubbed against her, their two soft mounds pressing together and deforming.
“You’re already so grown up and you’re still like this.”
Su Xiaocheng said helplessly.
Su Xiaowei declared with full confidence, “It’s all because of being Magical Girls. I have to stay with Big Sister no matter what.”
“What does this have to do with being Magical Girls?”
Su Xiaocheng was confused.
Su Xiaowei looked a little embarrassed for once.
“Umm… actually, my Contract Price is that I need to stay with Big Sister. As long as I’m with you, my magic power will slowly recover.”
What Su Xiaowei didn’t say was that the more intimate the contact, the faster her magic power recovered.
This was also the reason the Magical Girl Alliance had approved her transfer request. If she stayed too far from Su Xiaocheng, she would constantly be at risk of losing control.
Su Xiaocheng was about to complain about how ridiculous Su Xiaowei’s Contract Price was when she remembered her own and silently closed her mouth.
Still, she thought to herself: According to the principles behind choosing a Contract Price, just what kind of feelings does Xiaowei have toward me? With complicated emotions, Su Xiaocheng hugged her little sister like a human body pillow and slowly fell asleep.

“Beep beep beep!”
Early the next morning, Su Xiaocheng and Su Xiaowei were woken by the terminal’s alarm.
When they checked, it was only a C-rank witch disaster.
The loving family group chat that Youzi had recently created—she said that with more Magical Girls in Anning City now, a group chat would make communication easier.
Shining New Star: The witch appeared at a construction site owned by the Lu Corporation. It’s close to me, so I’ll handle it myself.
Creamy Lollipop: Okay.
Since Lu Yinxi had already gone, Su Xiaocheng didn’t plan on rushing over.
Besides, she had other things to do today.
Su Xiaocheng: Youzi, I’m bringing my little sister to register today.
She’s the new Magical Girl. The notice should have arrived already, right?
Creamy Lollipop: New Magical Girl? She’s your sister?
Su Xiaocheng: Yes, I’ll add her to the group.
(Su Xiaowei has joined the group chat)
(Su Xiaowei changed her nickname to “Big Sister Is the Best”)
Big Sister Is the Best: Hello everyone, I’m the newcomer Su Xiaowei. Please take care of me.
Creamy Lollipop: Welcome.
Sleepy Bunny: Welcome.
“Xiaowei, let’s go. I’ll take you to report in today.” Su Xiaocheng patted Su Xiaowei, who was still clinging to her and refusing to get up.
“Just five more minutes~” Su Xiaowei wrapped her legs around Su Xiaocheng’s waist.
“If you don’t get up, I’m going to spank you.” Su Xiaocheng tried threatening her.
“Then… I’m ready.”
“?”

Su Xiaocheng and Su Xiaowei stood on the street. Su Xiaowei had a satisfied smile on her face.
“Xiaowei, you weren’t like this before.” Su Xiaocheng said helplessly.
“Hehehe~ Big Sister, next time you can actually use a bit more force~”
Su Xiaocheng felt completely powerless. It’s over. How did my perfectly good little sister turn out like this?
“What an enviable sisterly bond.” A white-haired passerby praised.
“Ah, thank you.” Su Xiaocheng replied out of politeness.
“You’re welcome. Magical Girls like you are always so beautiful.”
Hearing the white-haired passerby’s strange words, Su Xiaocheng instantly became alert.
A small bell appeared in the white-haired woman’s hand. As it rang gently, a tall Witch materialized on the street.
The detection devices on the roadside immediately blared out sharp alarm sounds.
Su Xiaocheng quickly transformed into her Magical Girl form.
Looking at the familiar yet different Witch, she said uncertainly, “This is… from the Shadow Group?”
Beside her, Su Xiaowei had already transformed. A Polaroid-style camera appeared in her hands.
She aimed it at the Witch and quickly snapped a photo.
The picture printed out instantly.
“No, to be precise, it’s the Shadow Group Queen.” The white-haired woman said arrogantly.
Su Xiaowei tore up the photo.
An invisible attack struck the Witch directly, but the Witch only swayed slightly and received almost no damage.
“How? It had no effect?” Su Xiaowei shouted. “Big Sister, be careful! This might be an A-rank Witch!”
Su Xiaocheng finished charging up and fired several Magic Beams.
Before they could even touch the Witch’s body, they were scattered by tentacles that shot out from the void.
“Xiaowei, you go first.” Su Xiaocheng stepped forward.
The difference in strength was too great. If one of them could escape, that was better.
The white-haired woman clapped her hands in admiration.
“As expected of a Magical Girl who embodies purity and beauty. Even in this situation, you’re still thinking of others.”
“But unfortunately, it’s all pointless struggling.”
Black tentacles burst out from the ground. Su Xiaocheng summoned her Spherical Shield, but under the tentacles’ assault, it shattered in less than half a second.
The tentacles firmly bound Su Xiaocheng.
She erupted with magic power, trying to break free, but no matter how much she released, even stronger magic power on the tentacles would counter and consume it, making escape impossible.
On the other side, Su Xiaowei was also attacked by tentacles.
She flew into the air and rapidly snapped photos at the tentacles behind her, freezing them in place.
The printed photos spontaneously burst into flames, causing the immobilized tentacles to disintegrate inch by inch.
Interesting. Seeming to notice something, the white-haired woman glanced at the rapidly approaching purple streak of light in the distant sky and said, “If you want to save her, come to the abandoned construction site in the northern part of the city at eight o’clock tonight. Don’t be late~”
With that, she soared into the sky.
The Witch, still binding Su Xiaocheng, followed closely behind.
Su Xiaowei tried to stop them, but her magic had almost no effect on the opponent.
“Magical Girl, remember my name. I am Pride, one of the Seven Deadly Sins Deacons of the Witch Church!”
Lu Yinxi streaked across the sky, chasing after them directly.
“Oh my, why so worked up?” Pride rang the bell in her hand. Invisible sound waves swept forward—not to kill, but to hinder.
Purple musical notes floated out from Lu Yinxi’s body, neutralizing the sound waves.
However, her pursuit was inevitably delayed for a moment.
Pride had already taken Su Xiaocheng and was flying farther away.
At the same time, five or six shadows split off from the Shadow Group Queen and descended to the ground, transforming into C-rank Witches.
“Leave the Witches to me. Xiaolu, you keep chasing!”
Su Xiaowei knew her own strength was insufficient and proactively took on the task of cleaning up the smaller Witches.
“Alright, be careful.”
Lu Yinxi continued the chase.
But the opponent’s speed was not inferior to hers.
Combined with the occasional sound wave and tentacle harassment, Lu Yinxi had to divert attention to defend herself.
She also tried long-range counterattacks, but they were all blocked by sound waves and tentacles.
Because the opponent took turns attacking, their slowdown was noticeably less than Lu Yinxi’s. The distance between them gradually widened.
Even consuming more magic power for higher speed had no effect.
It just meant both sides were burning magic power.
Under Lu Yinxi’s helpless gaze, Pride, along with the Witch and Su Xiaocheng, flew out of the city and into the mountainous wilderness of the suburbs, where their traces soon became impossible to follow.
