47: The Kingdom Conference (Part 2)

Suddenly, a crisp yet authoritative voice cut through the clamor of the conference room, stopping the impending argument.

"Wait a moment, everyone." It was an Member of Parliament dressed in the most classic and traditional Magical Girl attire, holding a magic wand, her tone steady and powerful.

"Before we discuss whether that Magical Girl should enter the Heavenly Kingdom, there's a crucial issue that needs to be resolved first." She scanned the room, her gaze as sharp as a sword. "That is, will the newly descended Your Highness allow us to easily take away the Transcendent from Their Domain?"

Her question was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger that had flared in everyone's hearts.

Many Member of Parliament exchanged glances, realizing that this question had indeed been overlooked.

"Purple Pet Member of Parliament," the classic Magical Girl Member of Parliament turned to Purple Pet, who stood at the podium, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "have you learned anything about this Your Highness? What is Their attitude?"

"Oh, and by the way, could you please mark the honorable name of that Your Highness in the data? Constantly calling Them 'that Your Highness, that Your Highness' feels a bit foolish."

Upon hearing this, Purple Pet showed a wry smile. She shook her head helplessly and cast her gaze towards an Member of Parliament sitting in the corner, dressed in a dazzling idol costume.

The idol Member of Parliament felt Purple Pet's gaze and slowly rose. The shimmering decorations on her body swayed gently with her movements, as if jewels scattered across the starry sky.

"My apologies, everyone." The idol Member of Parliament's voice carried a hint of apology, yet remained clear and pleasant. "It's not that we are unwilling to mark the honorable name of that Your Highness; it's just that... ever since Their descent, Your Highness has been in a deep slumber. We have tried many methods—whether prayers, sacrifices, magical summons, or even direct communication from you esteemed adults—but we have received no response whatsoever."

The idol Member of Parliament's voice echoed in the conference room, tinged with helplessness and confusion.

The conference room fell silent once more. The tense atmosphere, which had just been on the verge of conflict, instantly vanished, replaced by an unspeakable sense of oppression.

From the news just now, it was clear that the newly descended Your Highness was unfriendly towards the Magical Girls. It was highly likely—no, it was certain—that another Apostle similar to "Aige" would emerge in the future.

In this stifling and oppressive atmosphere, an Member of Parliament's eyes lit up. She seemed to have thought of something and spoke, "Since that Your Highness has been in a deep slumber..."

Before the Member of Parliament could finish her sentence, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes focused on her.

She cleared her throat and continued, "Since that Your Highness has been in a deep slumber, couldn't we..." She smiled slightly, a hint of cunning glinting in her eyes, "take this opportunity to substitute one thing for another?"

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Most of the Member of Parliament had expressions of "How could she? How dare she? And who is she?"

Before other Member of Parliament could voice their opinions, Purple Pet, who had always appeared gentle and calm, instantly darkened her expression. She slammed the table with a loud bang, making the entire conference room tremble slightly.

"Silence!" Purple Pet's voice was stern and cold, like the biting wind of deep winter, sending shivers down everyone's spines. " Member of Parliament Reina, you are new to being an Member of Parliament, and there are some things you don't understand, so we don't blame you. Now I will tell you some information about those Your Highnesses; please remember it!"

The other Magical Girl Member of Parliament, hearing that she was new, showed expressions of understanding. No wonder she dared to harbor thoughts of acting against those Your Highnesses.

Purple Pet took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. "Those Your Highnesses are the beings closest to the Ring of Truth—the faith, ultimate goal, supreme, and pinnacle of us Magical Girls!"

Purple Pet's words were filled with warning, anger, and fear. She stood up, her eyes as sharp as blades, sweeping over every Member of Parliament present.

Then she focused her gaze on Member of Parliament Reina.

"Do you think that just because that Your Highness is truly asleep, there will be no consequences? Their power is unfathomable; even in slumber, their instinctive reactions are enough to crush all of us here."

"Although the Your Highnesses may lack sophisticated thought processes, they instinctively regard the Transcendent appearing in their territory as their property. Forcibly taking someone away without proper communication will only invite retaliation from those Your Highnesses. By then, you won't even know how you died!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Member of Parliament who had suggested the substitution plan instantly turned pale. She hastily stood up, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Purple Pet Member of Parliament, I was inconsiderate. Please punish me." Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, clearly terrified by Purple Pet's words.

The other Member of Parliament also shed their frivolous expressions and lowered their heads.

The conference room fell silent again, with only Purple Pet's hurried breathing echoing in the air.

After a long while, she slowly sat down, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Just when everyone thought the commotion had subsided, an Member of Parliament sitting in the corner suddenly raised her hand. She spoke cautiously, her voice trembling slightly: "I... I..."

Everyone looked over. It was a sweet-looking, petite girl who gave off a delicate and fragile impression, as if one punch would make her cry for a long time.

Seeing everyone's gaze, she shivered, immediately put her hand down, then lowered her head, pulled up her hood to cover her head, and slowly disappeared from their sight.

The Member of Parliament, seeing that it was this familiar socially anxious person speaking, were not surprised and patiently waited for her to speak again.

"That, that, I've seen the data on the new Magical Girl. It shows that she seems to be accompanied by a Magical Pet..."

"If, if I remember correctly, that seems to be the offspring of Lord Rabbit."

"Should we report this to Chief Member of Parliament Ice Blue and let her decide?"

The silence in the conference room was broken by this sudden suggestion. The Member of Parliament whispered among themselves.

Ultimately, the proposal was approved. Soon, a beautiful woman with smooth, Ice Blue long hair, delicate features, and a Social Rabbit by her side appeared in a transparent magic orb.

After hearing everyone's report, she looked at the rabbit beside her. The rabbit looked back at her, spat, and said, "I know about this, but you girls can handle that brat's business. I don't have time to deal with little kids' stuff. That's it, I'm hanging up."

The magic orb became transparent again. The Member of Parliament looked at each other, and had no choice but to resume their discussion.

On the other side, the Social Rabbit, who had hung up the phone, saw his girl looking at him again and could only say helplessly, "Girl, we really don't have time for this. To prepare for the war with the Level 7 Transcendent Civilization, the Berserker Civilization, we wish a day had 48 hours instead of 24. We really don't have time."

Seeing that his girl's gaze had not moved, he could only speak again, "Others can't either. Magical Girls who are chief Member of Parliament or above are either contacting other high-tech civilizations or constructing world-class defensive spell formations."

"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll find those old geezers to approve a leave for us."

Hearing the satisfactory reply, the girl looked away again. The Social Rabbit wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Although he had been partners with his girl for nearly ten thousand years, her sharp gaze still made him uncomfortable.

In the council, after a series of discussions and votes, it was finally decided to dispatch an experienced Magical Girl Senior from a city near Mingyu City to carry out protection and guidance tasks.
