I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 110 The Dual-Channel Cat Ears

In Li Mengling's single apartment, three magical girls were sitting around a desk.

It seems that the original academic classes have ended, and now it's time for the magical girls' training.

"Well, you all completed the 'Blooming' stage a few days ago and successfully advanced to the 'Budding' stage, right? So normally you should all have awakened your inner vision by now."

"Yeah!" Yotsuba nodded excitedly. "After awakening, information about my abilities suddenly appeared in my mind... I tried it out too—"

"Oh? You've already tested it?" Fennel pushed up her glasses. Clover's Heart... it's fine to use it on other people.

"It's a healing-type spiritual connection! The other day, my aunt accidentally cut her finger while chopping vegetables, and I activated my spiritual connection, and the wound healed instantly!"

"However, this Mind Image... it seems that after activating it, you have to wait two days before you can use it again." Yotsuba's tone lowered again, but she quickly cheered up again: "But I'll try my best to learn more other healing spells! Even when Mind Image can't be used, I can still heal everyone! If anyone gets injured, just leave it to me!"

Seeing Yotsuba's happy expression, Fennel also smiled with relief.

This child... is very cheerful in this world.

However, the correct way to use this mental image is actually to treat oneself, making oneself immortal. Using it on others is merely a one-time healing spell…

From a pragmatic point of view, it's a bit wasteful.

However, for Yotsuba, this is probably a good thing.

"Can you use your mind image on yourself?" Fennel continued to ask.

Although she already knew the specifics of Yotsuba's feelings, she still pretended not to know and asked about it.

"This... seems... like... it should be possible." Yotsuba hesitated.

"Hmm? Not sure?"

"Ah... the main thing is... um... I feel like it should be okay, and it seems like there aren't any restrictions on using it on myself. I can use it again after one use, without having to wait two days. It's just..."

"only--?"

"Um... I haven't used it on myself!" Yotsuba lowered her head, her tone full of apology. "I haven't been injured recently... but I'm afraid of pain, and I can't possibly cut myself with a knife..."

"It's nothing!" Fennel quickly comforted her, "You can test it again if you get injured later."

"Mm!" Yotsuba's expression returned to its original cheerfulness, and she nodded to Fennel.

"So, Yotsuba, after you awaken, you can choose your own fighting style. What kind of magical girl do you want to be?"

"Of course, a healing magical girl!" Yotsuba answered without hesitation.

Yes, she wanted to be a healer, someone who could soothe the pain of her teammates and bring hope.

Fennel nodded. "Alright, from now on I will mainly train you in healing magic. As for your mind-reading ability, don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because your inner healing power should be much stronger than that of magic. This powerful healing should definitely be saved for the last resort."

"Furthermore, you said that you can use your mind image for yourself without any restrictions, right? Then on the battlefield, you'd better use this mind image to protect yourself to a limited extent."

"Uh... um..." Yotsuba seemed to understand and nodded slightly.

Although the other "Fennel" already knew Yotsuba's feelings for Yotsuba, as the "Fennel" of this era, she still had to go through this process.

Of course, what she was truly curious about was Asaka. In the memories of her other "self," she had no idea about Asaka's telepathic abilities. After all, in another timeline... she had become a vegetable.

"Well then," Fennel's gaze naturally turned to Asaka, who had been silent since the beginning, "it's your turn, Asaka. What is your heart's desire?"

"I...I...that..."

When Zhaoxia was called out, she unconsciously shrank back, her eyes darting around, looking restless.

"My mental image... seems... useless now..." she stammered.

"Whether it works or not, we'll only know once we tell you," Fennel said, trying to relax her tone. "There's no absolute strength or weakness in mental states; the key is how you use them. As a teacher, I need to know your mental state to design a training method for you. Hurry up, let me see."

"But...but this ability...is a little...a little embarrassing..." Zhaoxia's cheeks were already as red as ripe apples. She lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Xiaoling," Yotsuba noticed her friend's unusual behavior. She reached out and gently took Asaka's hand, softly encouraging her, "It's okay. We are best friends and teammates. No matter what your abilities are, we won't laugh at you."

"Yeah, what kind of ability is it that makes you so reluctant to talk about it?" Fennel became even more curious. She pushed up her glasses, moved a little closer, and carefully examined Chaoxia.

Then, her gaze settled on the head of the rosy dawn.

"By the way, Asaka, why are you wearing that hat all day?"

Fennel pointed to the large hat on Asaka's head, which seemed somewhat out of place with her magical girl battle outfit. From the moment they met today, she had been wearing that hat, showing no intention of taking it off even indoors.

"Ah! This, this is..."

Zhaoxia instinctively pressed her hands against the hat on her head.

"Take it down." Fennel smiled; it seemed the key was right there.

"No, no..."

"Take it off~"

"Waaah..."

Under the curious gazes of Fennel and Clover, Asaka finally gave in. She closed her eyes and resignedly took off her hat.

The next second, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Above the vibrant orange short hair of the morning glow, two fluffy, orange and white cat ears were twitching slightly, looking somewhat uneasy.

"..."

Both Four Leaf and Fennel were stunned.

The first to break the silence was Yotsuba's barely suppressed, delighted exclamation.

"Wow! So cute—!"

She pounced on him almost instantly, hugging the blushing Chaoxia tightly as if she were kneading a giant cat doll.

"Morning Glow! You...you...you've grown cat ears! So cute! And they feel so fluffy and soft!"

"Stop, stop rubbing against me!"

Meanwhile, Fennel, also curious, walked over to Asaka's side. She stretched out her fingers and carefully touched Asaka's original human ears and her pair of cat ears respectively.

"Over here, can you hear me?"

"……able."

"What about this side?"

"...That's okay too."

"Binocular...it's actually binaural!" Fennel's expression also became excited, and she leaned closer. "Compared to the original 'two-ear stereo,' what's the difference in sound? Is it stereo two-channel input, or has it created some kind of new four-channel surround sound field?"

"Wow! Teacher, you're standing way too close!"
