I turned into a beautiful girl

"This is so messed up."

"What?"

"She is no match for the monster in terms of size, weapons, or strength, but she insists on choosing this head-on fight. If she uses her speed, she can defeat this monster early on."

He commented as a bystander, not even noticing that Hua Ling had arrived beside him. Yu Xia, who focused all her attention on this battle, gave an explanation.

"Pong!"

The tearing rapid light bloomed.

Pulling out the Kodachi from his waist, Astaroth launched a lightning-like slash at the monster's giant sword.

The thick giant sword was severed.

The crisp sound of broken metal reached Astaroth's eardrums, and the falling iron filings were like shining stars in the night sky, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and treating her whole body as a taut bow and an arrow leaving the string—Astaroth thrust towards the monster's chest.

Kicking the ground fiercely, like a cannonball, Astaroth flew out with an explosive momentum, and the red flash struck out two sharp slashes.

"Ooooooh!"

Screams burst out of the monster's mouth, the giant sword's blade broke apart, and the crushed iron filings fell to the ground. The pain of the split made its ugly face become ferocious.

The slender legs turned into sharp foot knives, and the flying kicks pierced the weirdo's chest. With no intention of ending it immediately, Astaroth indulged in the joy of killing.

The weirdo was knocked to the ground again, his body shaking the earth and making a huge sound. The dirt was splashed everywhere, and miserable wails continued to escape from the weirdo's mouth.

The tip of the knife pointed downwards, extinguishing the gloomy sword light. Astaroth did not make a finishing blow, and his eyes were locked on the weirdo who was struggling to stand up again. Ignoring the surprised looks of Chen Zishi and others beside her, the corners of her mouth curved into a violent arc.

"Bang!"

Replace the broken blade with a fist.

The roar of the storm pierced Astaroth's eardrums and turned into meteorites that penetrated the clouds. His giant fist whizzed down and hit Astarot who was standing aside.

The earth was shaken, and explosive wind and waves surged everywhere.

The fog rolled up by the dust enveloped the weirdo and Astaroth.

Realizing that the battle between Astaroth and the monsters had reached a point where he could not interfere, Chen Zishi and the other two swordsmen retreated.

"Pong" "Pong" "Pong"

The sound of clashing swords and halberds kept ringing, and the collision of blades and stone fists made Astaroth's hands numb.

Using her breath to locate the monster, Astaroth's attack can hit the monster accurately even if she doesn't use her eyes.

The calf burst out with brute strength, raising her speed to a higher level. Astaroth circled the monster's blind spot and kicked off a storm of attacks.

"Can't see anything."

"The smoke should clear soon."

"I can also use magic to blow them away. Do you want it?"

Almost giving up on hiding their existence, the three people standing in the woods began to discuss dissatisfied with the smoke caused by the strange man.

"Huh? This magic power..."

The fluctuation of magic power made Hua Ling frown.

The flow of breath changed.

The tearing silver wind condensed on the blade in Astaroth's hand. The shining silver light pierced the smoke that enveloped him. Kicking the ground with both feet, she launched a gust of wind towards the location of the weirdo.

The wind supported Astaroth's progress, and the rolled up wind waves dispersed the filth that filled the air. The dust dispersed, and Astaroth's fighting posture re-entered the sight of Yu Xia and others.

Astaroth's unconcealed strong murderous intent had already exposed the trajectory of his attack. Holding the stone fist that replaced the blade, the weirdo made preparations to defeat the flash.

It overlapped.

At this moment, Astaroth's posture overlapped with that of himself as Katana.

Her throat felt dry and thirsty, and flames seemed to be burning Yu Xia's lungs. He wanted to express his thoughts, but his throat could only make a monotonous sound.

"Cut!"

Along with the loud war cry, the tearing trajectory of the silver flash was neatly outlined on the weirdo's body.

The face was violently distorted, and the damaged vocal cords made it impossible for the weirdo to scream. The yellowed eyes became blurry, and the strange man collapsed to the ground due to his fleeting consciousness.

"Bang!"

Hot air waves burst out with the fallen monster as the center.

"You can do the rest."

Putting the blade back to his waist, Astaroth had no intention of helping with the aftermath. After leaving behind the cold words, he walked towards the outskirts of the small park.

Before attracting the attention of those present, Yu Xia and others quietly left.

…★…

Um? The door is unlocked? Is anyone back?

The key was inserted into the keyhole, and as Zhuang Xueying twisted, the door that should have been locked was pushed open. Zhuang Xueying took off her shoes and put on slippers and walked into the living room.

"I'm back~"

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and I unconsciously sniffed the air wafting in the air. Putting her schoolbag on the sofa, taking off her glasses and ribbon, Zhuang Xueying called out a long-lost voice.

"Oh?! Xueying, are you back?"

"Mom? Are you back so early?"

Her mother's voice came from the kitchen, and Zhuang Xueying's tone became sharp.

My mother, who often doesn't come home until eight or nine in the evening, rarely appears at home at this time. As for his father, he has only come home late at night recently, and the number of meetings with him has become even less frequent.

"Yes. I'll finish the company's affairs quickly today and come back. Your father said he would come back early for dinner."

"So mom, just cook the food first, okay?"

Zhuang Xueying, who was envious of the loving interaction between her parents, unconsciously outlined a sweet smile on her beautiful face and said teasing words.

"Oh? Then Xueying, can you cook it yourself? Mom, I haven't cooked for a long time, and I have become a bit stiff~~"

"I don't want it~~Mom, just cook more delicious dishes and let me try to eat without cooking anything."

Sticking out her pink tongue, Zhuang Xueying showed a slightly naughty attitude that even Yu Xia had never seen before.

"You kid. Okay, just wait obediently."

"Hehe! This is what you said, mom, so I won't help?"

Zhuang Xueying stuck her head out to spy on the situation in the kitchen and made tentative remarks, seemingly intending to help.

"Yeah, well, just wait and wait."

"Mom is the best~"

Without her sweet words, Zhuang Xueying left the kitchen.

It feels like I haven’t been like this for a long time... Will dad come back for dinner too? So good~~

She took the schoolbag on the sofa back to her room, and just thinking about the information her mother brought back, the corners of Zhuang Xueying's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

As her joy increased, Zhuang Xueying no longer had the intention to do her homework. She was sitting at her desk doing nothing, humming a tune and shaking her legs like never before.

correct! Haven't you finished reading the previous book? How about reading the rest now?

I stood up and recalled the unfinished novel in my study. Zhuang Xueying put on her glasses again and walked out of the room and slipped into the study room nearby.

"Really, dad put things in a mess again. When he comes back, I must give him a good talk."

Turning on the light in the study room and seeing the documents piled messily on the desk by her father, a low complaint slipped out of Zhuang Xueying's mouth.

Putting aside the search for the unfinished novel, she walked to the large desk and put away the materials on the desk for her father.

"Eh?"

As Zhuang Xueying packed up, the photos printed on the documents came into her sight. The familiar appearance in the photo did not require too much recognition. Zhuang Xueying could already recognize the owner of the photo.

Curiosity suppressed the unwritten rule of "you can't just look at daddy's things", and Zhuang Xueying picked up the document with Yu Xia's photo printed on it.

"Is this Xiaoxia's personal information?"

Not only did it include photos, it was also filled with Yu Xia's personal information. From birth to now, all the events surrounding Yu Xia, big and small, are listed in this information.

The joyful smile condensed.

A heavy expression took over Zhuang Xueying's appearance, and even she didn't notice that when Zhuang Xueying pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, her hands were shaking.

"This, this is Sister Qiu and Xiaoling? And Luo Ke's?"

Picking up the rest of the information, Zhuang Xueying discovered that it wasn't just Yu Xia, these information included information about people close to Yu Xia.

For a moment, she couldn't understand the purpose of her father's access to these information. The feeling of power draining from her body filled the depths of Zhuang Xueying's body.

Does dad know that Xiaoxia is Katana?

But aren’t things like demons beyond the control of the police? It has nothing to do with dad, right? What on earth does dad want to do?

He wanted to speculate on what his father wanted to do, but with Zhuang Xueying's meager life experience, there was no way to connect it with his father's thoughts.

What can I do? Do you want to tell Xiaoxia and Sister Qiu?

But……

But doing this is like betraying your own father. Pungent guilt spread in her heart, and Zhuang Xueying hesitated.

There was a sound of the door opening outside the study, but Zhuang Xueying did not hear this sound that should not be ignored. The conversation between her father and mother also sounded outside the door. It wasn't until the study door made the sound of the doorknob being turned that Zhuang Xueying woke up.

"Ah, ah! Dad?! You're back?! Really, don't put these things in such a mess? I'll help you pack them up this time, but I won't help you next time!"

Zhuang Xueying hurriedly piled the information back on the table, smiled stiffly, and dodged the gaze cast by her father.

"Haha, I'm sorry. I felt tired after reading it, so I just left it here."

"Really! Don't do this next time! I-I'll go to the kitchen to see how mom is doing with her cooking?!"

Zhuang Xiaosheng keenly caught the unnaturalness of his daughter and did not point it out immediately. Instead, Zhuang Xiaosheng matched Zhuang Xueying's words and acted as if he had not noticed anything.

Not having the courage to stay in the study any longer, Zhuang Xueying took stiff steps and left the study as if running away.

…★…

The pure white light dispersed the darkness in the living room, and the sound of the TV was mixed with the sound of the tableware being clinked. Yu Xia didn't comment on the delicious food. She was not in the mood to enjoy the food. She just put the food into her mouth to fill up the energy needed for activities.

Worried about Yu Xia's condition, Yu Qiu glanced at him and quickly returned his attention to Chen Zishi.

"That girl named Astaroth was sent to your DDT by Noah Company? Did your DDT also issue an arrest order for Katana?"

"Ah, um."

After thinking about another thing hidden in her heart, Chen Zishi still chose to hide it in her heart and did not choose to say it out.

"Noah Company... Xiaoye, have you seen him when you were in Noah Company? Could it be a man-made demon like you?"

"I don't know. It seems like I've seen it before, but it seems like I haven't seen it before."

He stopped putting the food in his mouth and swallowed it completely. He felt sorry and shook his head gently.

"Is that so... Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's eat now. Xiaoxia, you just need to be less transformed recently and pay more attention to everything."

"..."

The thick air gave Yu Qiu the illusion of suffocation, and she waved her hand to stop the conversation. The silent Yu Xia didn't make any response. He kept putting the rice in the bowl into his mouth, his eyes fixed on the TV playing the news.

"Xiao Xia?"

The voice became louder, and Yu Qiu, who was dissatisfied with Yu Xia's absent-mindedness, rarely frowned and showed a warm and angry face.

"Ah, ah! I know! I know! Look, there is something about Astaroth on TV."

Sensing the anger rising from her sister, Yu Xia quickly responded and pointed to the video of today's battle in Astaroth.

Except for Hua Ling, Yu Xia and the others focused all their attention on the news.

Seize the enemy's opening and strike the decisive blow.

Hua Ling kept putting delicious food on the table onto her rice bowl, including the chicken drumsticks that were placed in Yu Xia's rice bowl.

"This video always feels a bit inconsistent..."

Convey your own thoughts through speech. Yu Xia's grip on the chopsticks involuntarily increased, and the strong sense of disobedience gave her an indescribable feeling.

"The video is too clear, it doesn't feel like a candid shot..."

"It's not just here. I feel like there's something wrong with the content of the video."

After denying Yu Qiu's statement, Yu Xia simply doubted the content.

"It's the content. The scenes of her killing weirdos have been deleted."

Red eyes casually fell on the news being played, and he slowly swallowed the remaining food in the bowl into his stomach. While Hualing wiped her cherry-colored mouth, she pointed out what she had discovered.

"Ah, yes! This is it!"

The fog shrouding the core was dispelled, and Yu Xia showed an expression of sudden realization.

"The scene when the monster was terminated was obviously something that could not be taken out..."

The simple Chen Zishi was not surprised at the failure to grasp the key point of the conversation.

“It felt like I knew what was going to happen in advance and filmed it from beginning to end.”

"Know in advance? Who would know?"

Facing Yu Qiu's murmur, Chen Zishi questioned.

"DDT?"

Following Yu Qiu's thoughts, it was difficult to sort out the thoughts that were stuck together with paste, which made Yu Xia show an expression like a bitter yellow lotus.

Tilting his head and blinking his dark green eyes, Yu Ye tried his best to understand the content of the conversation between Yu Xia.

"Eh?! But I don't know at all?"

"It's just a hypothesis~ But if this is really the case, it's not difficult to understand DDT's approach."

Sensing DDT's overly simple intention, a soft smile appeared on the corners of Yu Qiu's lips. She tucked her hanging hair behind her ears, relaxed her tense body, and leaned on the back of the solid wood chair.

"If it is really DDT who did it, this is to crack down on Katana~ Xiao Zishi also said that if DDT sees Katana now, it will arrest her?"

"Ah, um. Yeah."

Nodding her head obediently, Chen Zishi confirmed Yu Qiu's statement.

"This is to introduce something similar to a competitor for Katana. Freaks are often killed by Katana before DDT arrives, which is also the reason why everyone identifies with Katana. If this is also eliminated, plus a large number of Slanderous remarks against Katana. Then DDT’s rough behavior against Katana will not attract too much criticism.”

Yu Qiu's speculative speech made the air flow condense.

Picking up the water glass on the table, Yu Xia didn't notice that the water in the water glass had already been drank by himself. He simply made the action of drinking water. He just didn't want to sit still and didn't give any reaction.

"Okay, let's talk about it here first, okay? Sister, I'm still saying the same thing, Xiaoxia, just try to change as little as possible recently. As for Xiaozishi, you should pay good attention to your own safety. If possible, Tell us your information. Is that okay?"

Not caring about messing up Yu Xia's hair, Yu Qiu rubbed his head vigorously as if to get Yu Xia's random thoughts out of his mind.

"Yeah. I understand."

"That's good. Okay! Hurry up and eat! If you don't eat, it will get cold!"

Yu Qiu, who acted as the moderator of the family atmosphere and showed a soft smile, tried his best to dispel the dull atmosphere.

"Ah, um!"

She responded with a lackluster voice. She didn't even notice that her chicken legs were stolen by Hua Ling, and Yu Xia quickly put the remaining rice in her rice bowl into her mouth.

Without saying too much, Hua Ling, who silently watched Yu Xia, began to eat her second bowl of rice tonight.
