“Haha…”

After finishing the work at hand, Fiore leaned back in her chair and let out a long breath.

Nearly a year has passed since the Thousand Worlds Tree moved to East Asia.

During this year, Fiore spent a lot of effort and finally integrated the new Thousand Worlds Tree. Since the relationship with the Magic Association had basically broken down, it was quite difficult for Fiore to do this. But fortunately, she finally completed the task assigned to her by Fang Zheng.

With the help of the formulas brought by Fang Zheng, Fiore successfully cooperated with the forces in East Asia on behalf of the Thousand World Tree Clan, and thus managed to gain a foothold in this area. But what to do next, Fiore still has no idea. Although the Far East is a territory that the Magic Association cannot interfere with, but...

"Excuse me, who are you looking for? Um, you don't have an appointment, please don't..."

However, just as Fiore was thinking about the next question, there was suddenly a noise outside the door, which made Fiore look up at the door curiously. Then the next moment, she saw the door being pushed open with a "click", and then Fang Zheng strode in.

"Master Fang Zheng!"

Seeing Fang Zheng appear again, Fiore smiled with joy. However, before she could say hello, Fang Zheng suddenly asked Fiore a question.

"Fiore, how old are you?"

"……Why?"

Faced with this sudden question, Fiore was quite confused for a moment. She stared at Fang Zheng blankly, not understanding why he suddenly appeared and ran over to ask her this question. Fiore originally thought that Fang Zheng would ask her about the recent situation of the Thousand Worlds Tree, the current negotiation results, and whether the Magic Association had any other actions, but... he asked her age. What was this?

"I'm so sorry, miss."

At this time, Fiore's assistant also rushed in.

"This man wants to see the young lady, but he doesn't have an appointment..."

"He doesn't need an appointment, you can go out."

Fiore came back to her senses after hearing her assistant's words. She gave orders to her assistant, signaling her to leave. Then, after the door was closed, she looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Um...Mr. Magician, I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"Age, your age."

"Ah...nineteen years old..."

Although she felt a little embarrassed, Fiore still answered Fang Zheng's question softly. However, Fiore did not notice that after hearing Fiore's answer, Illya and Xiao Hei, who followed Fang Zheng in, both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just barely qualified, just barely qualified."

"Hei, you are so disrespectful to Sister Fiore."

"But if she gets older, then she won't be able to be one."

"This... the master of magic?"

"Oh, that's it."

After hearing Fiore's answer, Fang Zheng calmed down a lot. He thought for a moment, then smiled at Fiore.

"Girl, do you want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

"…Magical girl? What is that? Is it some unique title for a magician?"

"Well... this isn't really..."

Facing Fiore's question, Fang Zheng didn't know how to explain it for a moment, because they hadn't seen each other for so long that he almost forgot that this young lady was basically completely out of touch with the trend. According to her brother, Fiore had been obsessed with constructing magic since she was a child, and had never seen anything else. Even the Internet was a new thing for Fiore, let alone expecting her to watch cartoons.

"Well, I've found a way to treat your legs..."

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Fiore immediately became excited.

"Master Magician, are you saying that... if I become a magical girl, my legs can be healed?!"

"Of course, strictly speaking, this is not a treatment... It's like this, in another world, I once met a girl whose symptoms were very similar to yours..."

Fang Zheng narrated the story of Yagami Hayate to Fiore, and then gave her a suggestion.

"Your problem is similar to hers. Although that child does not have magic circuits, she has become a magical girl and has condensed her magic power in another way. Perhaps you can also try this method. Of course... I also know that it may not succeed, but relatively speaking, for now, I think the possibility of success is still very high."

Fang Zheng said this because in the world of magical girls, Yagami Hayate recovered very well. After signing a contract with the Book of Night Sky and becoming its true master, Yagami Hayate's health began to gradually improve. Because of the condensation of the telekinesis core, her magic power no longer continued to erode her body like before. Now Hayate has begun to try to practice walking.

And it is precisely because of this that Fang Zheng came to the Type-Moon world, intending to use the same method to treat Fiore's disease.

Of course, another reason for making this request is that Fang Zheng is the "God of Magical Girls" after all, and in the system's explanation, magical girls refer to "girls with extraordinary powers." As a magician in the Type-Moon world, Fiore definitely has extraordinary powers, but... it's hard to say whether Fiore can be considered a "girl".

That was why Fang Zheng specifically asked about Fiore's age. After all... he wasn't quite sure what the "girl" defined by the system was.

"this……"

After hearing Fang Zheng's suggestion, Fiore was obviously a little hesitant. Xiao Hei and Illya were also nearby and began to whisper.

"But... is it really okay?"

"Who knows? But Sister Fiore is only nineteen years old. She is still considered a girl. After all, a woman is no longer a girl when she turns twenty. She is a woman."

"Eh? That's not what you mean, aren't we also..."

"We are Heroic Spirits. Even if three hundred years pass, we will still be ten years old! We are eternal ten-year-old magical girls, unlike those aunties who are over the age of twenty!"

“Waaaaaaahhh, stop it, stop it!”

While the two little girls were whispering, Fiore also made up her mind. She raised her head, looked at Fang Zheng and nodded.

"I am willing to give it a try, Master Fang Zheng. I want to stand up and explore this world with my own strength, so... please let me become a magical girl!"

"Very good, in that case, then without further ado, you prepare a little, and then we will get started."

Fang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Fiore's answer. Then he reached out and took out a ring from his pocket.

"Why?"

When Fiore saw the ring, a slight blush suddenly appeared on her fair cheek.

Could it be that... Lord Fang Zheng is going to propose to me?
