"...Hm?"
Engaged in combat with Yuan, Asou Haruka clearly hadn't expected Erald Sparrow to make such a statent, hence she was genuinely taken aback, "Now?"
"Yes, now. We don't have much ti left, it's ti to give it our all."
Removing her hand from her chest, Erald Sparrow nodded, "Don't worry about the opponent's capabilities. I have a rough idea in mind, but I'll need you and Hong Siyu to help confirm it."
After saying this, she couldn't help furrowing her brows. To heal her physical injuries, she could feel her Magic Power draining quickly; the load on her soul made her feel uncomfortable all over, but they were still in the midst of battle, so she had to suppress this discomfort.
"What?" Hearing her, Hong Siyu, who was also curious, leaned in closer.
"...Hit her, no matter what kind of attack, whatever ans, just hitting her will do."
Staring at Yuan not far away, Erald Sparrow spoke with conviction, "I'm ninety percent sure, the essence of her ability lies in this piece of information."
"Just hitting her will do?" Hong Siyu looked at Erald Sparrow's expression, confird she was serious, then glanced at Yuan, who stood not far away, thoughtfully.
"Are you sure?"
In the interval forced back by Yuan's strikes, Asou Haruka returned to Erald Sparrow's side, "If you really an that, then I'll just execute it exactly as you said."
"I'm sure." Erald Sparrow also stood up straight, "Go, Asou, start counterattacking."
Without another word, Asou Haruka grinned.
Watching Yuan approach their group again, she lifted the glass in her hand with a rather graceful posture. Orange Magic Power gathered in her other hand into a long-stemd spoon, which she then gently swirled around the inside wall of the glass.
"Margaret, Great Prosperity Bloom."
All sounds around them were instantaneously blocked out, her magnetic chanting voice becoming the sole lody, as if a spotlight were shining down from a high platform in a dim forest, enveloping a girl in a yellow dance dress.
Her glass, as if by magic, multiplied, stacking upon itself layer by layer, forming sothing like a champagne tower, with a counter manifesting behind it out of nowhere, lined neatly with countless bottles and containers, resembling a bar's liquor shelf.
The girl in the center, like a bartender, stood behind the counter. As it unfolded, her dance dress transford into an orange blouse and black vest, her long hair tied back in a neat ponytail. Her movents were practiced, she shook a cocktail shaker that had appeared in her hands at so unknown ti, her wrists flipping adeptly as if dancing a beautiful dance.
The cocktail shaker in her hands made crisp clinking sounds, each shake making the scenery around her beco more vivid until, with a "bang," she tapped the shaker lightly on the counter, using a bar spoon and a strainer to pour the drink into a glass. Then, she pushed the cocktail, prepared in an instant, forward.
"Welco to, Deliberately Drunk."
Her voice, full of magnetism, declared this; though it should have been a declaration of war, it sounded more like a romantic invitation.
And all this was part of Margaret's bloom, as its na spoken by herself, "Deliberately Drunk."
Margaret's Magic Armor, called "Passionate," outwardly appears as a transparent high-stemd glass.
The ability of this Magic Armor is to condense Magic Power into liquid form within the glass based on Margaret's own emotions.
These liquid Magic Powers serve various purposes; sotis, drinking them can heal the user, sotis applying them on oneself can enhance perception, and at other tis, they can be thrown as a weapon to create a variety of magical effects.
Based on Margaret's own tests, the more stable the emotions, the more positively the liquid Magic Power in the glass aids; the more extre the emotions, the more destructive the Magic Power becos.
Undoubtedly, this was a richly functional Magic Armor, capable of both attack and defense, but it also had a significant flaw — its functionality tied to emotions, hence it was quite unstable.
In the early days of the original Fangting City team, Margaret hardly dared use her Magic Armor at will because then, Passionate was much like drawing lots: using it against an enemy might cause damage, but it could also heal; using it on a teammate might provide a boost, but it might also backfire.
To control her Magic Armor and ensure its effects were stable in actual combat, Margaret spent a great deal of ti studying how to control emotions, buying heaps of books on psychology, success, and self-managent, searching daily for tips on controlling emotions.
Initially, her personality was much more flamboyant and confident than now, always wearing her likes and dislikes, joys and angers for all to see. Because she was too straightforward, she often made quite inappropriate remarks. Even An Ya, who was relatively easy-going, sotis felt helpless because of Asou Haruka's thoughtless words.
But later, as she delved into related techniques and deliberately controlled herself, Asou Haruka not only gained stronger control over her emotions but also underwent a complete 180-degree turn in her interpersonal approach. Specifically, she transford from a blunt person to soone whose expressions were significantly more implied.
