Page Fifty Magic Girls · Ready for Action
In the end, I was still hit by Thunder Meow-Meow’s Thor Meow-Meow Punch.
Perhaps fearing she might damage the meticulously crafted props and weapons, her punch wasn’t very forceful, so I flew about five meters away and collapsed at the entrance of the backstage area. I immediately felt dizzy, seeing people as if they were split into three, unable to get up for a moment.
Thunder Meow-Meow, this girl, did she get addicted to hitting me?
The red and pink magic girls came out from backstage one after another. The red one was Sister Fēiyuè, and the pink one was Tián Qiàn.
From my extremely low perspective lying on the ground, I could still see that Sister Fēiyuè was wearing black safety pants, while Tián Qiàn had white ones… Hmm? A teddy bear? Or a little squirrel?
Sister Fēiyuè looked down at me with disdain and walked away contemptuously.
Oh no, it seems I left a bad impression on the girl I met for the first time.
Following her, Tián Qiàn, while kneading her hair, sighed as if complaining.
“Really, why do I have to be the pink magic girl! Isn’t it too cute? No, should I say seductive?”
Tián Qiàn, with pink fake fur on her head, did have a different kind of cuteness. Not only her panties, but her clothing seemed to have less fabric than others. Looking up from below, I could see a light pink bra through the hem of her clothes.
It was a bit stimulating, so I blushed and turned my head away.
Actually, this mix of cute and sexy fits the character’s image in the manga quite well.
“It’s fine, even Sister Qiàn can look very cute!” I said, giving her a thumbs-up while lying on the ground and tilting my head.
“I don’t want to look cute! Wait, Little Brother Cháng Kǎi? Why are you lying on the ground?… Ah!!”
Realizing what she said, Tián Qiàn blushed and pressed her skirt aside, hiding herself.
Following them, Tan Lín Huā came out, dragging a makeup box in her hand. She had a jewel between her lips, probably given to her by Sister Fēiyuè.
Unlike Tián Qiàn, who lacked self-awareness, Tan Lín Huā reacted much faster. When she noticed me, she already had her skirt pressed down, and all I could see were her long legs covered in tights. (After all, it’s absolutely forbidden for anyone to see the mysterious bulge.)
“Really, whenever I’m not paying attention, does Kai-chan keep harassing girls?”
“Don’t portray me like some pervert, I was beaten! Help me up, I can’t get up.”
“Can’t move? Perfect, how about we give you some makeup too?”
“Don’t joke around, I didn’t plan on dressing up.”
My fear of dressing up made me roll off the ground.
Finally, the five main magic girls dressed in red, yellow, blue, pink, and black were all assembled.
Unlike typical magic girl works, in “Magical Girl Paradise,” these magic girls dressed in light and flowing garments were not students but belonged to the army, part of a specialized unit dedicated to fighting monsters that might invade the world at any time.
These five main characters belonged to E Squad, also known as Eel Squad.
The ‘E’ in E Squad was neither for eel, elite, nor eternity. It was simply END. Being assigned to END Squad was disastrous in every sense because it was where underachievers and troublemakers were concentrated.
In such a brutal frontline, this unit had an extremely high mortality rate.
Due to their military organization, the magic girls had uniform outfits, identical except for color.
Miss Marika referenced military uniforms when designing, thus adding a touch of coolness to the light and flowing outfits.
Of course, each person’s outfit had its unique details. For example…
“Hold on, looking closely, only my chest doesn’t have a bow tie! And the neckline is still low!”
Regarding Tián Qiàn’s question, Miss Marika explained apologetically, “Sorry, Xiao Qiàn, your character is meant to be the type that adds fanservice… You know, there are usually a few very sexy and attractive women in most comics, right?”
“The hem of her skirt is also five centimeters shorter than others.”
Sister Fēiyuè added, breaking a new jewel with her dexterous tongue.
For some reason, the bandage on her hand hadn’t been removed, even though this role didn’t require it.
“Then… can someone else wear it instead?”
Miss Marika patted Tián Qiàn’s shoulder and pleaded, “You have the best figure among us, this role is perfect for you. Please.”
So, having worn a full-body swimsuit, what’s a bit of cleavage in a magic girl outfit?
Thunder Meow-Meow handed Tián Qiàn a new copy of “Magical Girl Paradise.”
“Since you’re here, consider it work.” Thunder Meow-Meow returned the line Tián Qiàn had said to her earlier.
“Why don’t you read the comic and get to know the character you’re playing? Maybe you’ll find something new.” She added, “Oh, the magic girl I play dies first.”
Is spoilers some kind of contagious disease?
Angel Halsen under the Spoiler God, please cure this spoiler-loving violent woman!
Oh, this sick world, the Goddess of Beautiful Girls is the only true deity…
Miss Marika brought out a few plastic chairs from backstage. Seeing Xiao Yao quietly reading a book nearby, she sat next to her and asked carefully.
“What do you think of this comic?”
As the main author, she had invested the most in this comic and naturally expected some feedback.
Pushing back her side-parted fringe, Xiao Yao replied, “The action design is great, the battle scenes are full of tension, and the character designs are unique. However, the backgrounds are a bit rough, many parts are just sketched over… The author doesn’t seem to be good at drawing backgrounds.”
“Oh, indeed… But would you usually start evaluating from the drawing level?”
“As for the plot, it’s subjective. Personally, I don’t dislike stories with a touch of tragedy, but I wouldn’t say I particularly like them either. Some people might enjoy it, but others might hate it.”
This person speaks too bluntly. Can’t she say anything nice?
Through the glass wall, you could see that the crowd outside had already filled up the waiting pool. At ten o’clock, the temperature outside reached thirty-eight degrees Celsius, and the crowded waiting pool would be even hotter.
It was great to enter early.
“Hey, changed into your costume?” Wu Qinglan, who had been missing for half a day, returned to the booth. Old Driver Ya followed behind him, pushing a cart with drinks.
“I went out with Ya to buy water for you guys and ordered lunch boxes.”
After distributing the drinks, he clapped his hands to get our attention.
“Alright, cute magic girls, let me explain today’s tasks. There are three things you need to help with.”
He first pointed to the stage behind him.
“The first task is cosplay performances, where you will recreate classic scenes or poses from the comic on the stage or during the parade. You all look so beautiful and cute; there will surely be many photos taken, which is great publicity.”
He then pointed to the cash register.
“The second task requires you to assist at the cash register. Of course, the cashiers will operate the machines, but you only need to stand there and help pack and hand out bags. Naturally, Miss Marika has to sign autographs in the afternoon, so you won’t need to participate in this part.”
Finally, he took out a stack of flyers.
“Lastly, you can wander around the convention. You don’t need to distribute flyers deliberately; your costumes are the best mobile advertisements. If someone shows interest in your cosplay, give them a flyer and recommend they visit the booth.”
“Can we use the stage during our free time?” Tián Qiàn raised her hand and asked.
“You want to promote your idol activities, right? The boy told me about this. Feel free to use it, I’ll support you.”
“Thank you so much! This is a huge help!”
Although Thunder Meow-Meow herself didn’t like the flirtatious personality of Wu Qinglan, as his agent, Tián Qiàn was trying hard to secure promotional opportunities for her. She had no choice but to turn her head and thank him.
“Thank you.”
Her voice was softer than a mosquito’s.
