The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 88 Professional Matching

"Thank you for coming, fans. Free bottled water is provided for this magical girl limited exhibition. Please come to the side of the venue to pick it up if you need any."

"Oh? Not bad, there's even free bottled water."

Su Tianqing stood in front of the display board and read it through with great interest.

Upon entering the stadium, the lively music made the atmosphere much more cheerful.

Not far away was a fairly large stage, where girls dressed as magical girls were dancing, and people below the stage were cheering them on.

But compared to the stage, the dazzling array of merchandise shops around the venue are more eye-catching and are the main battleground for most people during the anime convention.

"Hyacinth Classic Dress Standee!"

As they passed a stall selling local products, Nan Xiaofeng excitedly looked at the display rack.

"Wow, that's amazing! I remember this was a limited edition from a long time ago, and it's already been reissued."

"Boss! I want three of these!"

"Silly Xiao Feng, aren't you going to buy it for Sister Tian Qing?"

"Ah...four! I want four!"

Watching the three people and the fox arguing and making a ruckus not far away, Nan Jiayu sighed, feeling a sense of relief like an old father.

The catgirl's gaze swept over the laughing and noisy scene around her, then silently focused on the cosplayers who were striking poses not far away.

Those girls were cosplaying as the magical girl team from Shanghai. There were four of them, and the leader was the magical girl [Bai Lili].

This magical girl is one of my acquaintances.

During my high school years in Shanghai, I would always go to this team to replenish my magic whenever I was low on it.

But each time he was very careful and quite restrained, afraid that if he overdid it, there would be no way to make up for it later.

"Little Fish! Let's go check out over there, it's so lively!"

Su Tianqing suddenly took his hand.

Following the route the four of them took, they turned into the fan fiction area, where a game stall came into view.

【Shining☆Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha】

"What a strange name."

After glancing at the booth sign on the display board, Nan Jiayu raised its eyebrows and swayed its tail from side to side, but it couldn't understand what it meant.

After the staff's explanation, everyone roughly understood how to play the game at this booth:

"An Iris-themed magic cannon prop? There are toys like that?"

Standing in front of the display board, Su Tianqing looked up in surprise at the toy that was taller than herself.

A scaled-down plastic toy, replicating the weapon design of the magical girl Iris, with a firing function. The initial pre-sale price is 1588, and it comes with a limited 3D laser card.

The golden fox was tempted for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she wouldn't be able to use it at all, and she couldn't cosplay as an iris, so she gave up on the idea.

"Because it's a limited-edition new toy, this game stall was specially set up to sell this toy."

Nan Jiayu saw through this marketing tactic and turned his attention to the game stalls not far away.

I always felt it wasn't that simple.

At that moment, several tourists were having a great time there, and their cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

The game is similar to popping balloons. You use the iris flower magic cannon pose to launch toy bullets to pop balloons, and prizes are awarded based on the number of balloons you hit.

Each visitor has only one chance. The participation prize is a small, free acrylic card; hitting ten balloons will win the grand prize.

"【Heart Moon Fox Tail Pillow (Limited Edition)】?... "

Everyone stared silently at the gleaming, fluffy cushion hanging on the display shelf.

"This pillow perfectly captures the feel of a fox's tail..." Nan Xiaofeng read the first sentence of the description.

"It's an essential item for the fox babies' afternoon naps at home..." Lin Muyao read the second sentence.

"This body pillow will be available for pre-order on the fan site. Currently, there is only one in stock..." Nan Jiayu read out the third sentence.

The three of them suddenly realized.

So this is a pre-release promotional event, no wonder it's so lively.

"Hit ten balloons with ten bullets and win the grand prize? That's easy! Watch me!"

Nan Xiaofeng said confidently, and went to play a game.

Ten shots, zero hits.

Then, looking dejected, he walked back with the participation prize in his hand.

"It's so hard! That game is so difficult!"

Nan Xiaofeng said dejectedly,

"Iris's magic cannon stance is too hard to aim at!"

"That makes sense, and that toy looks quite heavy," Lin Muyao commented.

Then everyone realized that the hardest part wasn't actually hitting the balloon, but "hitting the balloon while in Iris's magic cannon pose".

The pure white cannon princess, the magical girl [Iris], often floats her magic cannon far away and fires it with unerring accuracy, quickly gaining popularity.

However, for an ordinary person to replicate her magical cannon pose... it is indeed a very difficult game.

"This looks so fun! I'll try it too!"

Su Tianqing pulled Nan Jiayu forward.

Then each of them came back with a plush keychain.

"I hit two! Little Fish hit three!"

"Sister Jiayu is amazing! How could she hit three shots with that pose?" Nan Xiaofeng looked at the plush keychains in the two of them with envy.

Then, after being swapped with her younger sister by Nan Jiayu, she immediately beamed with joy.

Then, Lin Muyao returned carrying a set of limited-edition iris-themed laser cards.

"Five shots!"

The girl puffed out her slightly heaving chest and smiled as she showed off her spoils.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Hua Ling.

"Hua Ling, aren't you going to play?" Nan Jia Yu asked curiously.

"Yeah, Hualing, why don't you go try it out? Maybe you can get a set of laser cards too," Nan Xiaofeng said, nudging Hualing who was drinking mineral water next to him.

The girl put down her water bottle and suddenly realized that her companions were all staring at her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Um... I'm not very good at this kind of target shooting game..." Karin said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, look, I didn't hit a single one, but I still got a free card."

"Hmm... I'll give it a try then!"

Hua Ling nodded and mustered her courage to step forward.

The girl walked to the prop, took a deep breath, hung the toy on her body, and gripped the trigger on her side.

All eyes immediately turned to her, and even the music and noise in the venue seemed to quiet down for a moment.

"Click".

"Bang!!"

The trigger was pulled, and the balloon burst.

Ten shots, ten explosions. When the tenth balloon burst, enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately erupted from the surrounding area.

"Congratulations to this female fan! She's won the grand prize in this trial!"

Karin accepted the limited-edition body pillow amidst applause, then walked blankly to her astonished companions, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking somewhat shy.

"Um...it seems like I'm on the lucker side..."

After a long silence, everyone burst into applause for Hua Ling's brilliant performance.

But in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a pair of pink rabbit ears peeked out from the shadows between the vendors, and rabbit eyes behind sunglasses were fixed on the fluffy pillow in Hana Rin's hands.

Rabbit's hopeful heart quietly shattered.
