The number of people on the record is not small, but the vast majority are magical girls and officials from various countries, with the only exception being Eden, the world's most famous musical artist.
Recalling the subtle changes in the expressions of the officials from various countries that she had just seen in the teleportation area, Cocolia felt both excited and somewhat puzzled and surprised.
"Did it go so smoothly?"
Cocolia was well aware that what she was doing was neither secretive nor clever, and that the other magical girls would definitely find out. However, after talking to many people, she discovered that many magical girls were already quite disappointed in Alicia.
This is also why Cocolia wanted to try it boldly. Moreover, there are more than a few magical girls serving as secretaries and assistants. No matter what, any one of the magical girls could stop her if she wanted to.
Just as Cocolia was about to continue with the tasks assigned to her, several magical girls who were also her secretaries and assistants suddenly called out to her.
"Cocolia, how are things going in Europe?"
"Yes, everything went very smoothly."
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
They smiled slightly, exchanged a few more casual words with Cocolia, and then left.
“…” Cocolia glanced at their backs a few times.
"We are all Cocolia"
Cocolia said something silently, and then left.
Many magical girls who felt disappointed and conflicted about Alicia shared the same thoughts as Cocolia, and did nothing.
Since magical girls from the continent of Mu are second only to those from the continent of Shenzhou, some magical girls had already entered the Mu Continent government long ago. Moreover, after the War of the Witches of Knowledge, Emilia promoted even more magical girls to enter the Mu Continent government.
Therefore, the Governor's Office has many magical girls serving as secretaries and assistants, and a small number of magical girls also hold more important responsibilities.
Many of these magical girls from the continent of Mu were Emilia's direct disciples, and naturally felt close to her. Previously, they only regarded Alicia as a senior and idol.
Although Alicia is also from the continent of Mu and was one of the original three magical girls, compared to the other two, she only surpasses them in fame and strength, and is not as respected and loved as Emilia and Muels.
However, Alicia's words for Eden and her hesitant attitude left the magical girls of Mu Continent feeling disappointed and helpless.
This is why what Cocolia is doing is not only not stopped, but is also ignored by the other magical girls.
The result of this series of reasons is naturally obvious.
The early morning of a new day
The magical girls, who were in the United States handling the relocation of Rhine Life Sciences' headquarters, suddenly saw an exaggerated headline on the American news this morning: "Amazing! Who is the 9th witch?!"
Before the magical girls, including Mika, could even think, their extraordinary hearing allowed them to hear the suspicions and resentment of those around them who had seen the news.
"Isn't her identity as the Ninth Witch obvious?!"
"My God, the Ninth Witch is actually Miss Eden?! How is this possible?!"
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Why is Miss Eden a witch?!"
"Damn witch! Damn witch! *** witch! *** witch!"
"Wait! Why didn't the magical girls explain this?! Eden is a witch, so she should be eliminated immediately!!!"
"No! Not necessarily! Nothing major has happened on the Mu Continent yet, which means the Ninth Witch has already been brought under control."
"Shouldn't we eliminate the Ninth Witch even more?! What Eden! That damned witch must die!"
"Maybe Miss Eden is just like the little girl who was controlled by the Sixth Witch before!"
"We shouldn't have killed Miss Eden like this!"
"A witch is a witch! She must die!!! My lover, my family, all died at the hands of a witch. So many people were killed by her. A witch is a born bastard!"
The matter of witches was not strictly kept secret, nor could it be kept secret. The fact that Alicia and the 7th Witch fought a great battle in space was impossible to keep secret. In fact, many people knew about the existence of witches and magical girls.
Because witches cause so much harm to humans, many people hate them intensely.
The chatter of voices reached the magical girls' ears. Some speculated that Eden was in the same situation as Seele and shouldn't be killed immediately, since the deathly silence left behind after the Witch of Death's outburst still lingered.
However, the Witch Wars had only just ended, and many people believed that the dead witches were the good witches!
However, upon learning that Eden had not been killed, but instead was being 'protected' because of her close relationship with Alicia, many people looked at the magical girls with disbelief, resentment, and incomprehension.
Although no one actually dared to step forward and ask, over the years, people all over the world have often been severely beaten up for harassing magical girls and trying to toy with their feelings.
Magical girls often appear as police officers to fight criminals, and their almost omnipotent abilities have left a deep impression on people.
But people are not so polite or merciful when it comes to witches.
Even though Eden was once a world-renowned music artist.
Chapter 463 Proposal
After learning that the matter of Eden had spread, Wei Hua could hardly hide the anger on her face. She didn't think anyone could just casually tell others about Eden.
However, Wei Hua quickly closed her eyes, sighed deeply, then composed herself and buried all her emotions deep inside.
Mika then contacted another A-rank magical girl, Dorothy, who was there.
"Dorothy, you're in charge of everything in America. I'm going back."
"Huh? Me?" Dorothy was somewhat surprised, but after learning about the rumors circulating about Eden, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Okay! I understand, senior!"
"Okay, I'll leave this to you!"
Without delay, Wei Hua immediately arranged everything and rushed to the teleportation area of Rhine Life Sciences headquarters.
"Contact the campus on Mu Continent immediately, I need to go back!" Wei Hua looked at the Moth Chaser staff in the teleportation area.
"Yes!" The staff member immediately contacted the teleportation area staff in the capital of Mu Continent.
As an S-class magical girl, Mika has the highest teleportation priority in the global teleportation network. A few seconds later, the staff looked at Mika.
"Lady Weihua is ready."
Mika then used magic to envelop her entire body. The next second, the teleportation screen lit up, instantly transporting Mika to the colorful campus of St. Freya Academy on the Mu Continent.
"Senior Sister Weihua, Senior Sister Selena and the others are waiting for you in the academy's auditorium."
The magical girls who were already waiting for Mika in the teleportation area of the campus immediately addressed Mika.
Wei Hua frowned, suddenly feeling something was amiss.
Wasn't it Selena and her group who spread the news about Eden?
However, Wei Hua wasn't entirely sure, so she quickly transformed into a pink light and rushed directly towards the academy's auditorium.
Before long, Wei Hua swiftly flew into the academy's auditorium.
She then saw that all the S-class magical girls except for Alicia and Emilia had arrived there.
Mika was the last to arrive, so the S-class magical girls, including Selena, Vera, and Lyris, all looked at her.
Weihua looked directly at them and then asked.
"Who leaked the news about Eden?"
Upon hearing this, Selena frowned slightly as she looked at the halo above Wei Hua's head, but said nothing more.
However, Lailis responded coldly from the side.
"I don't know! They're still investigating!"
Mika looked at her friend Gabriel.
"I'm sorry, Weihua, I really don't know," Gabriel said helplessly. "The news about Eden came very suddenly. It started in Europe, but soon other countries also reported it."
"I've already contacted some senior students in Europe, and they're investigating."
"Now do you believe me?"
From the beginning, Wei Hua had been using her powers, confirming that they weren't lying and genuinely didn't know.
"I'm sorry," Wei Hua apologized to everyone after revoking her powers.
Selena and the others reacted in different ways; some wanted to say something, some nodded and smiled, and some remained silent throughout.
As one of the very few survivors rescued by Principal Alicia during the Thunder Witch incident, Mika's feelings for Alicia are the deepest among all the S-class magical girls.
"Is Sister Amy still not awake?" Mika immediately asked Lailis.
“No,” Lylis said coldly.
Emilia won't wake up anytime soon, but Lylis thinks she should wake up tomorrow or the day after.
However, Lylis wasn't entirely sure about this, so she didn't tell anyone else. Lylis still hoped that Emilia could rest for a while longer, and she and the other magical girls would try their best to share some of Emilia's burdens.
After Principal Muirsey's death, Lylis could clearly feel that Emilia's burden had become heavier, but there was also the threat of the witch, and now a certain principal's 'backstabbing'.
This made it clear to Lyris and the other magical girls that there was no longer any room for them to continue growing under the protection of Muleseth and Emilia.
"The most urgent task now is to deal with the situation outside. At present, public opinion in many countries is in a state of great agitation, and they wish they could tear the witch apart alive," Selena said slowly.
She really didn't expect this to happen before her sister Emily woke up, but Selena was already mentally prepared for it.
But who exactly leaked the news of Eden?
"Couldn't we have issued a notice first, explaining that Eden and Seele's situations are similar?"
Wei Hua asked, puzzled.
"In whose name should the notice be issued?"
"Lalis asked in return."
Mika was about to say something in the name of Principal Alicia, but once she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
She immediately understood what the consequences would be if such a notice were issued in Alicia's name.
Rumors about Eden and Alicia have always existed among people around the world. Many people are well aware of their close relationship, and many people have long admired and shipped them.
But after the news broke that Eden was a witch, public opinion suddenly took a 180-degree turn. Insulting Alicia was unthinkable, but criticizing Eden was something everyone would condemn.
The war against the witches had only just ended, and the wounds left by the witches still stung the hearts of many. Although life was difficult, it had to go on, and people could only silently bury their resentment and anger towards the witches in their hearts.
However, once the news that Eden was a witch came out, people immediately had an outlet for their emotions, which was almost impossible to contain.
Now, any positive comments about Eden published in Alicia's name, even if they are neutral, will only stir up a bigger wave of public opinion and will be seen as Alicia covering up for Eden.
This is simply because Eden is a witch, and Alicia is the principal of the Magical Girl Academy, and Alicia is a famous figure known worldwide.
“When the incident broke, everyone and I tried to explain it to people all over the world,” Selena said, looking at Mika with a deep gaze.
"But unfortunately, it's useless."
Although Selena is an S-class magical girl, unfortunately, there are differences between S-class magical girls.
The magical girls who saved the world many times and were the first to be known and understood by people were always Alicia, Muleseth, and Emilia.
Other magical girls may have some fame, but apart from a few of their relatives, most people don't know much about them.
Magical girls aren't idol stars. Their primary mission is to risk their lives in battle against witches and their familiars, not to painstakingly create personas to make people like them and spend money. This is something Muirses once taught the magical girls.
Muels and Emilia never tried to please people. They were respected and loved because of Muels's contribution to the advancement of human technology, the Rhine Life Science Institute she established that improved the living standards of ordinary people, Emilia's development and welfare policies during her rule of the Mu continent, and Emilia's personal involvement in frontline battles.
Therefore, magical girls spend most of their vacation time with their families, or training their magic and learning new knowledge. When they are working in different places, they focus more on the tasks at hand.
Mika sighed deeply.
"Then either we hold a live press conference and talk to people face-to-face, or we issue a notice to tell everyone that everything will be dealt with after Emilia wakes up!"
Most of the magical girls were pondering Mika's suggestion.
Selena thought for a moment and said.
"There's too much public pressure right now. We can't just wait and leave everything to Sister Ai Mi. I think we should handle both things together."
Mika, Gabriel, Vera, and Lyris looked at each other and agreed with Selena's words, feeling that it was better to compare the two things together.
As for Alicia, the S-class magical girls present all selectively ignored her and had no intention of telling her about it.
Now they all think that Principal Alicia should just stay in her courtyard and watch over Eden.
Selena glanced around at the S-class magical girls present.
Let's vote by raising our hands.
Most of the magical girls raised their hands in agreement with the proposal, but Du Shushu, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
We won't show up.
