Chapter 217 Deep Sisterly Affection
After returning from Moon Hill
Hoshino Seri didn't rush home. Instead, she transformed into Kikyo the Magician and went to the headquarters of the Hachiku City Broadcasting and Television Station.
Yeqiu City Radio and Television Station
Although we were attacked by strange people before, the losses were not too great.
Upon entering Yeqiu City Radio and Television Station, the first thing that catches the eye is the spacious and bright lobby, where a white-collar worker in uniform stands behind the counter.
Kikyo, the mage, glanced at the map, searched for a while, and finally determined her target. She started from the hall and walked along a wide, clean corridor, with rows of workshops of various functions on either side.
The people passing by didn't seem to notice her, but every time they were about to bump into her, her body would inexplicably veer off course, yet none of them felt anything was amiss.
Kikyo the Magician didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to the set of "Magical Girl Orchid". There, the editors were busy editing the latest news articles, the directors were discussing the details of the upcoming program, and the actors were practicing reading the script again and again in the rehearsal room.
Her gaze passed over the bald director and went straight to the innermost office.
Inside the security bureau, the assistant director of this script didn't need to ask too many questions; he simply told them everything he knew.
The script for "Magical Girl Butterfly Orchid" was approached by people from the Baiyun Group to collaborate with the Yeqiu City Radio and Television Station on a filming project. At the time, director Xu Houyong rejected the script after reading the story.
But there's no way around it.
Baiyun Group offered too much money, and director Xu Houyong's protests were ineffective; the TV series was still given to him to film.
Fortunately,
Aside from the TV series needing to be filmed according to the scripts provided by Baiyun Group, they don't concern themselves with anything else, and they are very generous with their funding.
Following the instructions given by the assistant director, the investigation revealed that Baiyun Group was very clean. They never touched dirty money, paid all the taxes they were required to pay each month, and even all the employees of Baiyun Group had five social insurances and one housing fund, and worked from nine to five.
On every national statutory holiday, there are not only holidays but also various gifts and vacations.
The company provides its employees with high-end medical insurance, covering both the individual and their family members.
work overtime?
I never heard this term mentioned by any of the employees of Baiyun Group.
Even if they wanted to work overtime,
The company under Baiyun Group doesn't give any power either; they just cut off the power and shut it down at the designated time.
Previously, inside the Security Bureau, the magician Kikyo stood by and watched. The special agents investigated very thoroughly, basically checking all the companies under the Baiyun Group, but they found no problems with any of them. They were all operating normally, with some making a profit and some losing money.
Especially during the last [Red Mist] disaster, the Baiyun Group suffered incalculable property losses, but they still donated supplies and money to the disaster-stricken people in Yeqiu City. They were even nominated as a model enterprise of Yeqiu City by the mayor of Yeqiu City several times.
No matter how you look at it,
The Baiyun Group could never be associated with those dark forces.
At most, we can only say that they wanted to create a unique magical girl drama series.
The security personnel moved away from Baiyun Group, but the magician Kikyo fixed her gaze on Baiyun Group's president and CEO, Bai Xiaoyuan.
According to the assistant director's description,
The person who initially came to them with the script was the CEO of Baiyun Group. After all, no one would have thought that such a big shot would come for such a small matter. Later, this big shot even settled down at Yeqiu City Radio and Television Station, and would come over from time to time to sit in the office and read the script or watch the latest filmed drama series.
With such a big spender sitting here...
The entire crew of "Magical Girl Orchid" dared not slack off in any way; everyone was on their toes.
Kikyo, the magician, regained her composure and fixed her gaze on the beautiful woman sitting in the office.
Through the glass wall, you could see her long, silky hair, casually draped over her shoulders, a few strands gently resting on her delicate face. Her eyes were intently focused on the screen in front of her, and though it was unclear what she was watching, a slight, alluring smile played on her lips.
Her desk had few office supplies and miscellaneous folders; all that remained were the curved screen displaying "Magical Girl Orchid" and various scripts.
boom!
boom!
Kikyo, the magician, walked to the door and knocked gently.
"Please come in."
The woman heard the knocking but didn't look up; she simply said something indifferently.
Kikyo, the magician, gently pushed open the door and entered the office. Her gaze was fixed on the screen displaying a battle between the magical girl Orchid and the magical girl Lily, who had been sent down from above.
Kikyo, the magician, remained silent, simply standing aside and waiting for the other party to finish reading.
As the ending theme of the magical girl anime began to play...
The woman finally raised her head, a hint of doubt in her brown eyes: "Who are you?"
"Hello, I am Kikyo the Magician. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. I hope I haven't disturbed your work."
Kikyo greeted the woman politely and introduced herself.
"Hehe~" The woman smiled faintly, stood up and walked to the tea table to the side. She pointed to the sofa opposite her and said, "Kikyo the Magician, please sit down. As you can see, I'm just watching a show. It's not like I'm disturbing your work."
"Thank you," Kikyo said softly, sitting down opposite the woman.
"Kikyo the Magician, do you prefer tea or alcohol?"
The woman looked up at Kikyo and asked.
"Whatever the host prefers, it's fine."
"Then let's have tea instead."
The woman smiled gently, and unhurriedly took out the tea set, rinsing the teapot and teacups with hot water to remove impurities.
After about ten seconds, I poured hot water into the teapot and let it steep for a short while.
"Does the Magician Kikyo prefer green tea, black tea, or pu-erh tea?"
"Black tea bar."
Kikyo, the magician, pointed to the black tea canister beside her.
The woman smiled, took out some black tea and put it into the teapot. Different teas require different steeping temperatures.
For example, green tea is generally served at 80-85 degrees Celsius, oolong tea and black tea at 90-95 degrees Celsius, while dark tea and Pu-erh tea can be served with water close to boiling.
As hot water is poured in,
The aroma of black tea wafts into the nostrils along with the rising steam, a fragrance reminiscent of roses and jasmine—fresh and pleasant. It's a perfect blend of floral and sweet notes.
After steeping the tea in hot water for about three to five minutes, the woman poured a cup for the Kikyo mage first, and then poured one for herself. She picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and then took a small sip, squinting her eyes.
After a long while,
Her gaze finally fell upon the other person: "Kikyo the Magician, how does it taste?"
"Very good. I didn't expect Miss Bai to be so talented not only in business but also in other areas." Kikyo's magic made her put down her teacup.
"You flatter me, it's just that the tea is good."
Upon hearing Kikyo's words, the woman took another small sip, her eyes crinkling at the corners, appearing to be in a good mood.
"I wonder what brings you here, Kikyo the Magician? You know, you Arbiters are usually fighting against evil and brutal dark forces. It seems like we ordinary people can't help you with anything."
"It's not a big deal that I'm here to see Miss Bai."
"Oh~"
After a long while, Bai Xiaoyuan also put down her teacup and looked at the magician Kikyo with her bright eyes.
"I wonder what kind of 'not a big deal' Kikyo is talking about?"
"Actually, I just wanted to talk to Ms. Bai about the plot of 'Magical Girl Orchid' and whether some parts could be improved."
Bai Xiaoyuan's slender, snow-white fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound, as if she were thinking about something.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I made this 'Magical Girl Orchid' specifically for my sister to watch. She really likes this 'Magical Girl Orchid'."
The Kikyo mage pondered for a moment, her pale golden eyes meeting Bai Xiaoyuan's gaze, and slowly said:
"Could we change the color or appearance of the main character's outfit in *Magical Girl Orchid*?"
"Sigh, it's not that I don't want to give Kikyo the magician face. My sister was saved by a purple loli magical girl when she was little, and ever since then she has been obsessed with purple loli magical girls. Our house is full of her figurines."
Bai Xiaoyuan rubbed her delicate eyebrows and sighed, seemingly with some helplessness.
The Kikyo mage picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and her gaze gradually calmed: "In the video from the last Ye Qiu City anime convention..."
"Is that Miss Shiro's sister who won first prize in the magical girl talent competition?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Kikyo's words, Bai Xiaoyuan asked in confusion, then smiled with delight, "I never expected that my sister's piano playing would attract Kikyo's attention. I'm sure she'll be very happy to hear this."
"But doesn't your sister really like magical girls? Why would she cosplay as the Abyss Demoness?"
"I don't know why either, but don't worry, although my sister and I played the role of the Abyss Demoness, we deeply hate the Abyss Demoness. If we ever have to fight against the invasion of the Abyss, even if it means the destruction of our Baiyun Group, we will never waver in the slightest."
Bai Xiaoyuan's words were so firm that even Kikyo, the magician, couldn't detect anything unusual in them; she was very likely telling the truth.
"Of course, I don't doubt Miss Bai's enthusiasm for Yeqiu City. It's just that the magical girl drama that Miss Bai is filming has, to some extent, affected the reputation and life of my companions."
Kikyo, the magician, had finished her black tea, and her golden eyes were fixed on the other person.
If the other party still refuses to compromise, then I'm sorry, she will have no choice but to remove this magical girl from the shelves.
"Since Kikyo the Magician has put it that way, I'll compromise then. How about you take a look at this script?"
Bai Xiaoyuan raised her eyelids and saw that Kikyo Magician's eyes seemed to have lost patience. She gently raised the corners of her mouth and took out a new script from the table next to her, handing it to Kikyo Magician.
After listening to Bai Xiaoyuan's words, Kikyo the Magician remained silent for a while. She felt that the other party seemed to have thought of this step a long time ago. This feeling was not good, but considering that it concerned Teacher Bai's reputation, she still took the script and read it carefully.
Compared to previous scripts, the story development in this script is completely different.
It can also be considered the second season of the TV series.
The magical girl, Orchid Sister Wind Chime, has appeared. According to the introduction, she and her sister were abandoned by their parents at a young age and had to rely on each other for survival. Although their lives were very difficult, the older sister always took good care of her younger sister. One day, the younger sister saw a beautiful cake in a cake shop and was very tempted, but the sensible younger sister knew how hard her older sister had worked and only glanced at it a few times.
Then they left reluctantly.
But the older sister, Phalaenopsis, saw this and secretly remembered it, deciding to give her younger sister a big cake on her birthday in the future.
To achieve this goal, she began to work illegally and collect all sorts of scrap to make money.
Finally, one day,
She saved up enough money to buy the fruit ice cream cake that her sister had been eyeing.
But unexpectedly,
That was the day she returned home with a birthday cake.
But my sister is gone.
At that moment, the older sister frantically searched for her younger sister.
However, there was not a trace of her younger sister, Fengling, as if she had never existed in this world.
The world doesn't stop turning just because one person is missing. Because the older sister was beautiful and had been sensible and obedient since childhood, she was quickly adopted.
Later, due to his excellent academic performance, he stood out among his peers and became an outstanding teacher.
She never forgot her deepest desire: to find her younger sister.
But it wasn't found.
later,
By a twist of fate, she became a magical girl.
However, during a battle against an abyssal monster, she suddenly discovered her younger sister, except that her sister wasn't a magical girl.
Instead, she is a witch who obeys the abyss.
To save his sister,
She betrayed the magical girl and joined the abyss, wanting to awaken her sister's memories on one hand, and secretly passing on various intelligence to humans on the other, becoming a spy within a spy.
Time passed little by little.
The magical girl, Butterfly Orchid, and Wind Chime grew increasingly close.
Fengling is always cold and sarcastic towards others, but she always feels a little embarrassed when facing her older sister, yet she always affectionately calls her "sister."
With the release of information about the magical girl Butterfly Orchid, a trap set by humanity has been laid for the Abyss Demoness and the Lord of the Abyss.
However, the younger sister has completely surrendered to the abyss, and her physical structure is no longer human.
Ultimately, when faced with the choice between kinship and the interests of humanity,
Magical Orchid sacrificed her own family for the greater good, plunging her sword into her sister's chest.
At the last moment,
The younger sister, Wind Chime, nestled in her older sister, Butterfly Orchid's, arms, smiled and said, "Ahem, sister... sister's cake is delicious, I love you the most~"
to be frank,
After watching the second part of "Magical Girl Orchid",
Kikyo, the magician, was also somewhat moved. If she were "Magical Girl Orchid," could she bring herself to do this to her own sister?
Thinking about it this way,
The image of her younger sister, Hoshino Saki, with her faint smile, appeared in her mind.
Ok,
If it were this younger sister, she would act without the slightest hesitation.
"Kikyo the Magician, what do you think of this script?" Bai Xiaoyuan picked up the teapot and poured Hoshino Seri another cup of steaming black tea.
I also picked up my teacup and took another sip, a floral fragrance filling my mouth.
"Very good. The scenes of the sisters getting along in the second season of Magical Girl Orchid are very well depicted and touching."
Kikyo Magician gave this script a very good review.
"That's good. From now on, we'll proceed with filming 'Magical Girl Orchid' according to this script. But Kikyo, you mustn't leak this when you get back, since it involves trade secrets~"
Bai Xiaoyuan smiled slightly.
Her fingers were long and slender, turning the pages of the script with graceful ease. "Okay, I understand." The Kikyo mage nodded, then stood up and bowed to Bai Xiaoyuan in apology. "And I sincerely apologize for this uninvited visit that has disturbed Miss Bai's work."
"It's alright, Miss Kikyo is welcome to come and visit anytime. If Miss Kikyo is willing, I can also ask the directors to add more magical girl yuri storylines."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Ms. Bai, but there's no need for that. I don't actually watch many TV dramas."
Kikyo, the magician, shook her head and declined the other party's offer.
"Okay then, come visit often when you have time."
Watching Kikyo's departing figure, Bai Xiaoyuan sighed deeply, "What the heck? I thought Xiaodie would come, but it turns out her girlfriend came instead."
"Sigh, it's a bit of a disappointment that our little white pig got distracted by the wild vegetables nearby!"
As she spoke, the eerie green light in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
