Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 289 - 100: An Shiyu’s Confession and Its Response

The gap in strength is too vast...

Even as a Magical Girl, there are things you just can't do.

Watching Jiang Si's figure retreat, An Shiyu deeply understood this.

Soon, police and related personnel approached, with numerous helicopters illuminating the scene. Although Xing Xuan was still sitting dazedly by the large pit, seemingly too weak to stand,

Sorry, senior, but there's something more important I must attend to...

Apologizing in her heart, An Shiyu spread her wings and chased after Jiang Si!

Jiang Si was incredibly fast, yet he wasn't flying but leaping off the sky seemingly on something invisible.

An Shiyu couldn't comprehend how Jiang Si could perform a double jump in mid-air...

He was both agile and rapid, and An Shiyu barely managed to keep up with all her might.

Struggling to follow behind Jiang Si, several times she almost crashed into tall buildings. Luckily, she gradually adapted to her wings, flying faster and more skillfully, finally not getting left behind.

Once they exited Hu Lin City, Jiang Si leaped into the nearby dense forest.

The forest around Hu Lin City was famously thick, and a major industry; once inside, flying overhead would certainly not be fast enough.

She had no choice but to descend and enter the forest on foot—flying around such a place in the middle of the night was indeed challenging.

However, soon, in the silent and pitch-black forest, she lost her bearing, and Jiang Si's silhouette vanished.

Most critically, she couldn't maintain her Magical Girl form anymore.

After all the battles along the way and chasing after Jiang Si, as a newly transformed Magical Girl, she had already maintained her form for quite a long time.

Now that her magic power was finally depleted, her stamina too was near its limit.

Tripping over an unknown vine, she fell to the ground, naturally reverting to her normal self.

Clutching the Miracle Seed tightly, gazing at the sky-obscuring forest around her, An Shiyu sniffed, feeling a bit like crying.

She just, she just wanted to talk with Jiang Si...

Completely lost now.

Feeling her way back up, she looked at her seed.

For now, she couldn't transform.

But Xing Xuan had told her how to transform; she just needed to wait a while longer for the seed's cooldown to pass, then she could transform again.

Then, she'd fly away from here.

Looking up at the sky, specks of starlight trickled down.

Even after becoming a Magical Girl, many things don't go so smoothly...

Besides, Jiang Si probably doesn't want to see me, right.

He probably didn't recognize me, as he didn't seem to recognize me earlier.

Though her red hair was quite striking; after all, red hair is really rare...

Touching her hair, An Shiyu tried to tidy her somewhat messy locks.

She didn't even know what she looked like right now—probably dirty and disheveled.

If only there was a mirror.

She wanted to tidy up her appearance, not wanting Jiang Si to see her looking ugly.

No, she couldn't find him in the first place; perhaps she'd never see him again...

Thinking of this, An Shiyu suddenly felt a pang of loneliness in her heart, somewhat empty.

Cradling her Miracle Seed, she spoke as if making a wish, "Can I see Jiang Si again? If being a Magical Girl can grant miraculous wishes, my wish..."

"What are you doing?"

The cold voice startled An Shiyu so much she almost dropped her seed; she tightly gripped it while looking up to see the fox mask staring straight at her in the moonlight.

"I, I, I'm lost..."

"I can see that."

An Shiyu instinctively brushed her hair, wanting her image to be less shabby before softly saying, "I just wanted to talk to you."

"Why?"

"Back on the bus, you saved me, and then you saved me again by the orphanage, but I never told you my name."

Supporting herself against the tree, An Shiyu stood up, "My name is An Shiyu, just call me Shiyu, Shiyu as in poetry and rain."

That slender figure, although not tall, brought an unparalleled sense of security.

The rustling sounds that previously made her uneasy now turned into just a slightly annoying background noise.

"Oh."

The response was very indifferent, but An Shiyu didn't feel disheartened.

As long as there was a response, it was enough.

She didn't know what the future held, whether they would meet again or perhaps never have such a chance to chat.

So, regardless of what happens, she must seize every opportunity to say what's in her heart.

Summon the courage, never allow cowardice!

"Jiang Si, I..."

"I'm Jiang Motu."

Interrupted.

Her momentum briefly faltered, yet An Shiyu wasn't a fragile girl. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She took a deep breath, clutching the Miracle Seed against her chest.

As a Magical Girl, she must, must be strong!

"Jiang Motu... maybe you've already forgotten, but we met on that bus back then."

"Hmm."

Although Jiang Si didn't recall, he nodded anyway.

Regardless, first appease her and let her leave.

He was still waiting for intelligence from the Twinned.

"Back then, on the bus, when you confessed to me, I was caught off guard and didn't respond, but now I've thought it through." An Shiyu took a quick breath, swiftly calming herself.

Keep going, she had to, she must express her feelings!

"I hope you can hear my answer and thoughts."

"Speak."

Raising her head, An Shiyu looked directly into Jiang Si's eyes, the boy's pupils were dark, like deep wells, calm and still.

Facing Jiang Si, facing her inner self, then, gathering her courage!

"I want to know more about you, I want to let you know more about me, I want to know your likes and dislikes, what you usually do, I want to be by your side, I want..."

Words hard to utter paused on her lips, yet An Shiyu stepped forward, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the boy, "I want to be with you."

The long wait felt like the silence before a sentence being passed, the sound of her heartbeat drowning everything.

When she realized what she had said, the hand holding the Miracle Seed began to tremble, the burning shyness spreading from within her all the way to her ears, making her mind a bit dizzy.

Involuntarily, she wanted to steady her heart, afraid that the boy in front of her would hear.

Even her breathing seemed to become restless.

Not knowing how long she waited, until the fox mask in front nodded.

Like a judge's gavel hitting her heart, making An Shiyu momentarily breathless.

She heard the boy's faint reply:

"Then think about it, didn't say you couldn't."
