Magical Girl Yuzu-Anne

[Check out my other ongoing fic, "[Dragon Ball] Want to Hold Hands and Fall in Love, Android 17?", and "After Reviving Hagiwara, I Started Dating Him", which is being completely rewritten.] "The more hope you've carried, the greater the despair you'll eventually give off." Ugly curses couldn't make her retreat, dangerous local toughs couldn't frighten her, and criminals springing up like mushrooms after rain couldn't make her cower. "Nobility," "justice," and "courage" were You Xing's favorite words. She dreamed of being a princess in a fairy tale, protected by a handsome man who would be her prince, knight, or hero, and living happily ever after. No matter how ugly the curses or vicious the monsters, no matter how much she wanted to cry and run away while growing stronger, You Xing would conquer her fear to protect those she thought needed protecting. She never imagined that she would become the most wicked witch in history, a special-grade curse whose barrier covered the entire Shizaki Street and who had to be eliminated. "The man I love is a peerless hero. One day, he'll descend from the sky and rescue me from my hardship in the most dashing way a girl could dream of." You Xing fell in love at first sight with a red-haired, blue-eyed boy. To bravely pursue love, she turned down an offer from a religious school, rejected the Yokohama local toughs' recruitment pitch, and then refused to be coerced by an international criminal organization... As for that last one, back off! Back off! Back off! She resolutely joined a poor, weak youth self-defense group to be with him. You Xing sighed. The person she liked really was a noble, upright, handsome man. Even though the Sheep were this poor, he hadn't abandoned them. She would follow in his footsteps and protect their weak companions. ...Oh no, the man she loved seemed stronger than she was. Never mind. She still had Plan B: use exchange training as an excuse to get stronger and spend more time with him. "You're actually fighting me?!" You Xing stared at Zhongye in disbelief. Didn't he have any gentlemanly manners? Didn't he know that asking to train together was a girl's subtle way of confessing when she was too embarrassed to say it outright? The straight-laced King of the Sheep was confused. "Didn't you say you'd gotten rusty lately and wanted to get your skills back?" He really took her words at face value?! You Xing had no choice but to grit her teeth and admit she'd said that, then fight the utterly clueless straight man. Damn it, he hit so hard! That dense straight man had no idea how to go easy on a girl! He almost made her cry! You Xing, already on the verge of tears, laid down a challenge. "Next time, I'll make you cry!" "Oh?" The straight-laced King of the Sheep raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I'll be looking forward to it." The girl bravely pursuing love forgot her original goal, angrily grinding her teeth and sniffing as she vowed to teach him a lesson. Reader's guide: * I've revised the blurb a little. The early part is a sweet girl-chases-boy story, still with the original recipe: "The King of the Sheep Is So Straight-Laced His Romance Radar Is Broken." Once he catches on, readers will get the fun of the boy chasing the girl. He's still a straight man. * You Xing transmigrates into the story as an ordinary, lovestruck girl, except that she can turn into a magical girl. * May include behavior such as being "holier-than-thou," "self-righteous," and "trying to save everyone." * After becoming a witch, she's so powerful that even the strongest DK team from "Walpurgisnacht" can't take her down. [This is not a groveling redemption story. I'm writing pure romance.] [Since people have asked, I'll clarify in the blurb: Zhongye just takes a long time to catch on. Their relationship is still very sweet and harmonious.] A quick recommendation for my next story, "The Cat Pillar Transmigrates and Gets a Job by Scamming People: The Real Story" Ming Suika was a Demon Slayer from several hundred years ago. One day, she fell into the water and was transported several centuries into the future. Because of her unusual demon-child constitution, she was especially weak during the day and had to find a big tree to cling to. In the past, that big tree was the Demon Slayer Corps. Now, it's the red-haired boy who saved her. A straightforward, innocent boy who blushes and doesn't know what to do when she's affectionate toward him. In front of him, Ming Suika is a helpless, pitiful, defenseless doddering vine, waiting for someone to save her. She hides her sharp fangs and pretends to trust and depend on him completely, as if she couldn't survive without him. He believes her. Until one day... Ming Suika hunts demons the way she always does: catch them, let them go, catch them again, let them go again... When a demon thinks it's finally escaped and grabs a human to feast on, she kills it without mercy. Ming Suika slides her sword back into its sheath. With the demon's blood spattered across her face and a satisfied smile, she gets ready to return to the boy's little home and keep pretending to be his helpless vine. She turns around and sees Zhongye, who's been standing in the shadows for who knows how long, wearing a deeply conflicted expression. Of course, that's just who she is: one thing on the outside, another on the inside. But Ming Suika isn't ashamed that he's seen through her act. She returns to the boy's side of her own accord and leans close to his ear. "Disappointed? I'm not the kind of person you imagined." She is the child of a demon and a human. Her unruly nature won't change, not in ten years or a hundred, and she'll never become the kind of person he likes. "...No." He grips Ming Suika's wrist. As she stares at him in shock, he flashes a bold grin. "I just think it's time you found out I'm not a good person either." This is the world of the mafia. How could there possibly be any good people? He was afraid of scaring her before, so he'd always held himself back. Theme: Let love and miracles spread throughout the world
