Chapter 183, Person in Charge: Shangguan Su
"A guild exclusively for magical girls..."
Qin Nan repeated Tang Zijun's words, and having frequently played online games, she quickly understood what the other party wanted to express.
Actually, calling it a magical girl guild is more like bringing together all the magical girls scattered outside. This not only reduces chaos but also makes the fight against heretical demons more efficient.
In fact, what Tan Zhixin had been doing before was similar to this.
Whether serving as a liaison for the magical girls or constantly searching for newly born magical girls, Tan Zhixin has only one goal: to better ensure the safety of her sisters.
Now that magical girls and heretical demons have come to the forefront, such small-scale plans are probably no longer feasible.
Thinking of this, Qin Nan looked up at Tang Zijun. "I fully support you, but I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple, is it?"
"It's indeed not easy. This is just a preliminary idea. If we want to implement it, we still need the intervention of relevant departments. If we just establish a non-governmental organization, subsequent actions will be much more difficult."
Tang Zijun casually sat on the bench and continued speaking.
"How to deal with the damage caused by the Outer Path Demons, how to repair the facilities after the war, and how magical girls should act when carrying out missions are all things we need to consider."
Just listening to Tang Zijun's explanation made Qin Nan feel dizzy and overwhelmed. "This sounds so complicated. Isn't there an easier way?"
"No." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly.
"The scales have tipped, and we have to make appropriate changes as well. I know that doing so will disrupt your original habits, but there's no other way. Once magical girls step into the spotlight and become public figures, your actions will have to become more formal."
Qin Nan's lips parted slightly.
The thought of possibly carrying a recording body camera during operations made her feel a little awkward—wouldn't that mean she wouldn't be able to swear anymore?
Tang Zijun, unaware of what Qin Nan was thinking, continued, "Don't feel too much pressure. I'm just reminding you. I'll discuss the details with Tan Zhixin later and have her handle the communication."
"Huh? Aren't you going to show up?" Qin Nan was taken aback.
In her understanding, the strongest being at present is Tang Zijun, and as the dimensional lord of the reverse world, it should be Tang Zijun who comes forward to negotiate.
Even if Lao Chang were to handle the negotiations, it would make sense. There's no way Tan Zhixin should step in, since she can't even transform right now.
Seemingly noticing Qin Nan's confusion, Tang Zijun offered an explanation.
"As I said, this is a magical girl guild. The person who comes forward must be a magical girl, and it can't just be anyone. She has to be senior and have a high status in the circle."
"It would be perfect for Tan Zhixin to step in. She is in charge of the communication and logistics of the magical girls, and no one knows this position better than her."
"That's true." Qin Nan nodded slightly and sat down next to Tang Zijun. "Then what are you going to do, continue to hide?"
"Since the fall of the Tree Crown City, countless demons and monsters have emerged. Before we understand their specific information, hiding in the shadows is the best protection for you."
The incident caused by Sir Skull served as a reminder to Tang Zijun that none of the high-ranking members of this group of heretical demons were easy to deal with. They might not be as strong as her in combat, but the commotion they could cause would be considerable.
If Sir Bones has caused such a huge mess, and other high-ranking officers can't help but get involved, then it really feels like a full-scale war.
Therefore, the best course of action now is to let them think that way, since they and the greedy have made a strong comeback.
The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more those guys will want to continue observing.
However, if he were to take the initiative to stand with the magical girls, then with the side of justice receiving an epic boost, the high-ranking members of the Outer Demons would likely be forced to unite.
This is a situation that Tang Zijun does not want to see now.
"I understand, to make those guys hesitate to act rashly, right?" Qin Nan smiled slightly.
"Those monsters don't know what it means to be afraid to act rashly. As long as we keep them from making any rash moves, that's fine. Let's stabilize the magical girl side first. Don't forget, I still have a lot of troublesome matters to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan pursed her lips, deeply resonating with the sentiment.
The turmoil in the real world can be quite troublesome, but compared to the dream world, these things are probably insignificant.
With the guillotine of the dream world hanging over her head, even Tang Zijun would find it difficult to act freely and make a big splash.
No wonder Tang Zijun has always kept his existence hidden; the things he thinks about are far more profound and comprehensive than mine.
After a pause, Qin Nan casually asked, "So, how do you plan to get Sister Tan in touch with the relevant departments? If you want to stay hidden, the Reversal World shouldn't be exposed right now, right?"
"We don't need to make contact with them proactively, and don't underestimate them. No one who can sit in that position is simple."
Turning to look at Qin Nan, Tang Zijun saw her puzzled expression and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.
"Just watch, it won't be long before those people visit Tan Zhixin's flower shop."
Three days later, in the mountain city.
Sunlight streamed through the mottled glass windows, gently bathing every corner of the flower shop.
Tan Zhixin was wearing a light green dress, her long hair tied back at all times. In front of her was a pot of delicate and beautiful azaleas.
Holding flower shears in her hand, her movements were skillful and light, her eyes focused intently on the flowers in her hands, carefully trimming away the excess branches and leaves.
She's been so busy lately that she hasn't had time to take care of the potted plants in her flower shop. Now that she's finally managed to squeeze out a little free time, she can't wait to get back to work.
Actually, calling it a job isn't quite accurate. Whether it's opening a flower shop or pruning branches, these are all Tan Zhixin's hobbies, and also her life.
Pruning flowers helps her think better, and over time, Tan Zhixin developed this habit.
After arranging the bouquet, she picked up a rag and began wiping the dust off the flower stand, making a rustling sound.
A gentle breeze blows, and the electric flowers sway softly.
Tan Zhixin seemed to sense something and turned around gently, only to see a man and a woman standing at the entrance of the flower shop. Both of them were wearing suits and looked extremely capable.
"Hello, what do you need?"
Tan Zhixin smiled gently and greeted her.
The woman in the lead paused slightly, her gaze fixed on Tan Zhixin's face. "Excuse me, are you Tan Zhixin?"
"it's me."
The woman smiled upon receiving an accurate answer.
"Hello, my name is Shangguan Su. I am currently the head of the temporary office for magic management. The department has just been approved, and the name is still a bit hastily chosen. Please forgive our sudden visit."
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Tan Zhixin casually put down the rag and waved her hand lightly, and the flower shop door slowly closed. This unscientific move immediately caught Shangguan Su's attention, but her smile remained unchanged. "You don't seem surprised by our arrival."
"I had long anticipated this day. With the existence of magical girls exposed, there's no point in continuing to deceive ourselves. Please have a seat, and I'll pour you some tea."
Leading Shangguan Su and another man to the long table, Tan Zhixin picked up three teacups and poured half a cup of tea into each.
"Director Shangguan looks quite young and promising."
"Well, I was temporarily transferred here thanks to my dad's connections. They said magical girls are all little girls, thanks."
Shangguan Su took the teacup, and was just about to offer a polite toast when she turned around and saw the man down the tea in one gulp. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and continued speaking.
"...If we really stick to that old-fashioned approach, it will be troublesome to manage. It's better to get to know them first and then take things slowly."
"So, you've already met some of the sisters?"
"We met privately, it wasn't very formal. I originally wanted to communicate by phone, but many people thought we were scammers. Some simply didn't answer the phone, and some didn't even have a cell phone."
Tan Zhixin took a sip of tea and chuckled to herself.
After a pause, she took out a printed document from under the table and placed it in front of Shangguan Su.
"What is this?" Shangguan Su was slightly taken aback.
"Consider it a pledge of loyalty," Tan Zhixin said, putting down her teacup. "I knew you were coming, so I prepared some materials beforehand, which should be of some help to you."
Shangguan Su glanced at Tan Zhixin meaningfully, then focused her attention on the documents. Soon, the files of magical girls appeared in her field of vision.
"Why are they all code names?"
I initially thought this was a roster of magical girls compiled by Tan Zhixin, but I didn't expect that these files only recorded the elemental attributes and levels of each magical girl, without even a photo.
Their names were filled with all sorts of strange nicknames, the first one being Qingnang.
"There's a reason why magical girls have always strictly adhered to the ironclad rule of not revealing their identities. Besides, I can't just sell them out without telling my sisters beforehand."
Hearing Tan Zhixin's words, Shangguan Su nodded slightly. Then she flipped through the files and several reports caught her attention after dozens of files.
The report uses a standard format and details the code of conduct and job requirements for magical girls, even including some concepts about the real and the real world.
It can be said that Shangguan Su's expression turned serious the moment she saw this part.
These are exactly what their department needs right now!
