My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 315 Differential Treatment

Chapter 315 Differential Treatment

In the nighttime city of Yunjingtian, after the Osmanthus Mage introduced himself, the atmosphere in the Judgment Team became much more harmonious than before, since the other party was practically one of their own.

Since we're all on the same side, it's not unreasonable to play a game of Truth or Dare.

Upon hearing that her magical girl juniors were going to do the same thing again, Violet silently left.

They had no intention of getting involved at all.

This left Xia Qing and the others slightly disappointed, but fortunately, that wasn't their main objective.

The group played until around 10 o'clock, when Violet appeared on time.

The people at the scene were basically all in the red zone, literally red.

Based on her observation from the sidelines, the group of magical girl juniors were having a very exciting time. Whoever lost had to choose one of the games that could help with low blood pressure, such as Getting Over It, Cuphead, Cat Mario, and Dark Souls, and pass a level.

Things might be alright up ahead; even if you die, you'll just smile knowingly.

But as you progress, it becomes something that most people simply cannot accept.

What's more, there's a whole bunch of onlookers who love a good show.

Sometimes, what looks like and what's actually done are two completely different things. So when Violet appeared and told them to go to sleep, these magical girl juniors obediently put down their game controllers and went to bed, completely unlike before when they would fuss about wanting to play a little longer. They were as well-behaved as could be.

Seeing their obedient and docile appearance, Violet found it somewhat amusing. After the magical girl juniors entered the room, she picked up the game controller from the ground and tried it out. At first, she had a faint smile on her face, but the smile gradually disappeared.

Towards the end, Violet's face darkened. "Damn it, is this a level even a human could come up with?"

The peaceful scene from before was nowhere to be seen.

Her phone vibrated, and she saw a message from the Osmanthus Magician reminding her that it was time to go and tell a story.

Violet forced herself to turn off the game despite her high blood pressure.

Inside the room, Bai Youqing seemed to be in a bad state. It was unclear whether it was from playing the high blood pressure game earlier or for some other reason. Her eyes resembled molten lava from a volcano, and her skin appeared slightly red.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was roasted.

She lay quietly on the bed, radiating warmth, doing nothing, staring at the ceiling, listening intently to the sound of Violet returning to her room and closing the door. As soon as the other closed the door, she would immediately go home and begin her daily check-in task. No matter how strong the temptation in her heart was, she could stick to her principles.

Or to be more precise, the last confrontation between the two of them made her realize that the other party really left no room for negotiation on this issue.

This filled her with fear, making her afraid to take the next step.

boom-

The door closed, but Bai Youqing didn't act immediately. Instead, her expression suddenly changed. Usually, Violet's footsteps would reach the end of the corridor, about ten steps away, before closing the door. But today, she closed the door seven or eight steps less, if she remembered the location correctly.

This should be the room of Zheng Zhaoxue, the Osmanthus Magician.

So here's the question: why would Violet inexplicably go into someone else's room in the middle of the night?

0-0?

If it were before, Bai Youqing would never have had such an outrageous idea, but as the things in the strange dream unfolded before her eyes, she began to lose confidence. The seed of doubt planted in that strange dream had unknowingly grown into a towering tree.

Could it be that the reason why the Osmanthus Mage was willing to come and teach them team battle experience, and even carefully exchanged suitable magic skills for each of them, was all because of Sister Violet's silent dedication behind the scenes?

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. From the other party's words during the confrontation tonight, it was clear that she had never given up on Violet.

Why is it that, even though we're both earning money, she has to go to the company to clock in, while others can clock in from home?

Even their salaries are different.

The problem is not scarcity, but inequality.

At this moment, Bai Youqing's anger was burning. She silently took out a bottle of drink from her magic space. This was the last bottle.

On the other side, after Violet entered the Osmanthus Mage's room, she found that the other party was already in bed, with heavy books on the small wooden table next to him, and only the other party's cute head was sticking out, just like a little child.

"Senior Violet, I'm ready. Tell me a bedtime story."

Violet glanced around the room and, finding there was nowhere to sit, prepared to go out and get a chair.

But they were stopped by the Osmanthus Magician.

"Senior Violet, stop dawdling. It's not a big deal. You can just sit on the bed and tell a story."

Violet rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Then you should move closer, otherwise how am I supposed to sit?"

"oh."

Seeing that the Osmanthus Mage shifted slightly, Violet stopped talking, sat on the edge of the bed, and picked up the book that the other party had prepared.

Good heavens, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"No, Xiaoxue, are you sure you can fall asleep listening to this at night?"

The Osmanthus Magician chuckled, "This book was given to me by you back then, and I've kept it safe ever since. I want to listen to this one."

"Alright."

Violet stopped arguing and began to recite softly.

The story begins with the Battle of Guandu and recounts Guan Yu's solo journey of a thousand miles, until the Osmanthus Magician slowly closes her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming calm and peaceful.

Violet's voice gradually lowered, and as the chapter ended, she gently put away the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and placed it on the table beside her.

Looking at the other person's sleeping face, Violet folded the corner of her blanket neatly and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Xiaoxue."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhaoxue suddenly opened her eyes at this moment, her eyes sparkling like stars.

He hugged Violet tightly, kissed her lovely face, then rested his head on her shoulder, gently nuzzled her, buried his face in her neck and shoulder, and deeply inhaled the familiar and pleasant scent emanating from her.

Finally, she lay back in bed, satisfied. Looking at Violet's adorable, dazed expression, a wicked grin, like a weasel stealing a chicken, spread across her face.

Goodnight, Violet-senpai.

After a long while, as Violet walked out of the room with a helpless expression, a humanoid black shadow suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, standing there quietly with strange red glints in its eyes. This startled Violet greatly, and she could only see the figure clearly after she turned on the corridor lights.

"Green Ivy, what are you doing standing here in the middle of the night?"

It's unclear when the other person appeared; they were wearing a slip dress nightgown and had long, black hair hanging loosely over their shoulders, making them look quite frightening, even late at night.

The girl did not answer Violet's question, and a tense and silent atmosphere filled the air.

Her gaze, like two dark gems, was fixed on Violet, scrutinizing every inch of her skin and every wrinkle.

"Sister Violet, what were you doing in the Osmanthus Mage's room just now?"

"Tell her a bedtime story."

Girl:

Does Violet think she's easy to fool?

Or perhaps it's that they're not even willing to fabricate a simple lie anymore.

The girl's sorrow grew stronger and her resentment intensified, but she remained remarkably calm on the surface.

"oh."

The girl nodded, then asked softly, "Then, Sister Violet, may I hug you?"

The words sounded like a request, yet also like a plea.

Violet looked at the graceful young woman before her, her brows furrowing slightly. "Is there something you need?"

"Senior Violet, are you unwilling? I remember you said before that if I had any painful things to tell you, I could come to you and cry. Is that no longer possible now?"

At this moment, the girl's gaze towards Violet was as clear as a spring, serene and peaceful, yet tinged with sadness. "Or perhaps I have disturbed Senior Violet's rest? I'm sorry, I'll go back now."

With that, the girl silently turned her head and prepared to go back to her room.

For some reason, seeing the other person's lonely figure, Violet suddenly felt a pang of heartache and anxiety. Magical Girl Greenie had indeed been acting strangely lately, and she had originally planned to go and ask her about it.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already come looking for them.

Based on her understanding of the magical girl Green, she knew that Green was inherently strong-willed, and she would never have come if she hadn't been forced to.

When someone comes to us seeking help and comfort, it's usually because they can't hold on any longer or their grievances have reached their breaking point.

Thinking of this, Violet quickly called out to the other person, "I'm not disturbing you. If there's anything you need to tell me, come to my room."

Almost the instant Violet finished speaking, the girl stopped and turned to walk towards Violet's room.

Her decisive demeanor suggested that Ping had been waiting for her to say those words.

Violet could only smile bitterly; after all, the other person was the closest person to her in the world!

Upon entering the room, Violet was about to ask the magical girl Greenie what troubled her hidden in her heart, but to her surprise, Greenie spoke first, her words filled with anger:

"No, I don't want to see you like this. I want you to cancel your transformed appearance."

Violet looked at the other person with some confusion:

"What's the difference?"

The girl shook her head firmly and replied:

"The difference is huge. If it's the Violet Mage, then it's just a senior caring for a junior, but it's also the person who cares the least about me. I don't need that. What I want is Bai Yuze, the person who cares about me the most and is the best to me."

After the girl finished speaking, her eyes reddened and filled with tears. Violet's heart softened, and she canceled the transformation.

He regained his normal male appearance, and the moment the other person saw him return to normal, they rushed over and hugged him tightly, a hint of longing and greed flashing in their eyes, before bursting into loud sobs:

"Why is your gaze always on Xia Qing and the others? Why can't you focus more on me? Am I really that bad?!"

"You teach the other members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad whatever magic skills they want, but every time I come to you to learn magic skills, you refuse to teach me, saying that my physique is not suitable."

"Then why is it that only my body type is unsuitable, while everyone else's is?"

"You used to be the one who treated me the best, but everything changed the moment I found out who you were."

"Your gaze is no longer fixed on me, but I have really tried my best, why won't you even look at me once more?"

"I used to get beaten up by the Abyss Spider, but now I can beat it up! Yet you haven't praised me once. But when other magical girls defeat the Abyss Beasts, you're never stingy with your praise. Why is that?!"

"I'm not bad either. Didn't you see in the battle before that Kikyo's Judgment Team went from a crushing defeat to a complete rout? I really gave it my all. I'm slowly getting stronger!"

"Although I'm not the strongest right now, if I have some more time, I will definitely become the strongest in Kikyo's Judgment Squad in the future."

"Or perhaps, do I have to single-handedly establish an S-rank judgment squad, like the Osmanthus Mage, before you'll look at me with new respect?"

"Tell me, what should I do to make you happy?"

"elder brother!"

Magical girl Green Ivy nestled in Bai Yuze's arms, pouring out her inner pain, her warm tears soaking Bai Yuze's clothes.

As Bai Yuze gently stroked the magical girl Green Ivy's smooth long hair in his arms, he never imagined that the slight disappointment he had unintentionally revealed at that time would leave such a deep impression on her.

As for why he didn't teach her skills, it's because the magical girl Green Ivy has the same constitution as the magician Kikyo. She would rather the other girl learn from Kikyo than herself.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."

"I really didn't know you were harboring such deep resentment; it's all my fault."

Seeing the girl's swollen eyes, Bai Yuze couldn't imagine how much grievance she was carrying.

He quietly pulled the girl into his arms. "Don't worry, I will never let you suffer again."

Hearing the other person's kind and apologetic words, a struggle flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by another firm emotion.

She quietly enjoyed this warmth.

After a long while, she reluctantly broke free from that warm embrace. "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Senior Violet. I'll go back to rest now."

"Okay, sure."

Seeing the girl's departing figure, Bai Yuzhe breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, he thought the other person's symptoms had worsened!

However, he did not do well in this matter. In the Kikyo Judgment Team, he was naturally the most concerned about Magical Girl Green, but whether in the Calamity Slaying Incident or in the competition, he always subconsciously compared his sister with himself.

In his view, it was only natural for the other party to do all of this.

He would be surprised if he couldn't do it.

Over time, Bai Youqing, with her perceptive personality, noticed this differential treatment.

Bai Yuze chuckled bitterly, finished the water on the table, and was about to go to sleep when he started to feel something was wrong. This wasn't...

Then, everything went black and he collapsed.
