UGB Chapter 61.1 As usual?
Chapter 61.1 As usual?
"It's a promise, see you tomorrow night."
"Sister, I also know two other kids who are the same age as you, Mu Yao. They also really love magical girls."
"You two will definitely become good friends!"
Lin Muyao stood at the dormitory door, nodding repeatedly, her face full of anticipation.
Bye-bye~ See you tomorrow!~
"Goodbye, Sister Sunny Day; goodbye, Sister Little Fish."
The girl raised her drawing board and said goodbye to the two of them.
The two walked one after the other on their way home. Su Tianqing skipped and hopped happily, her fox tail fluttering and her skirt dancing like a butterfly.
"You seem very happy, Tianqing," Nan Jiayu said with a smile.
"Of course!"
Golden Fox turned to look at Nan Jiayu.
"Little Fish, did you see that just now? That child was very happy to see us."
"Yes, and you even bought her a lot of merchandise."
"Because I also really like magical girls."
"Hmm... I can't tell at all," Nan Jiayu answered honestly.
Tianqing usually doesn't seem to care much about magical girls, but perhaps it's because she doesn't fully understand the little fox in front of her.
Nan Jiayu thought to herself.
Xiaofeng promised to come with Hualing tomorrow night, so that the girls who like magical girls could get together and maybe even make a new pair of friends.
But if that's the case...
The catgirl looked up at the sky where the sun was setting.
...Should we postpone the magic replenishment plan?
After all, this is the Hero Association's affiliated academy. Although he can use astral magic to ignore the superpowers of the association's heroes, he is currently depleted of magic...
"Little Fish—, shall we have dinner around here tonight?"
The golden fox's voice brought Nan Jiayu's attention back.
Seeing Su Tianqing already walking ahead and observing the restaurant, the catgirl gathered her scattered thoughts, stroked her tail, and quickly followed.
.
At this time, at Nan Xiaofeng's school.
The school bell rang, and the students packed their bags and walked out of the classroom together.
Karin is no exception.
The girl quietly slipped the sample merchandise given to her by the Hero Association from the drawer into her schoolbag. Just as she was about to sling her bag over her shoulder and leave, she suddenly heard the girl beside her speak:
"Hualing, are you free tomorrow night?"
"Hmm? Tomorrow?"
Hua Ling curiously looked at the girl at the next table and met Nan Xiaofeng's gaze.
"I'm free, but our planned schedule didn't say..."
Yesterday, Bai Ling returned from the Astral Plane, bringing with her a comprehensive upgrade plan for magical firepower and mobility.
It is said that this is the essence that Bai Ling summarized from the Astral Library.
But after I practiced improving my spellcasting according to the plan yesterday, the results were indeed outstanding.
"No, it's not that. It's what Sister Tianqing mentioned."
Nan Xiaofeng shook his head and added.
Hua Ling suddenly realized.
During lunch break today, Xiaofeng called me up to the rooftop to talk about what Sister Tianqing had mentioned:
There's a girl with a complicated background and a strange illness at the association's affiliated high school. Like Xiaofeng, she loves magical girls, and Sister Tianqing wants Xiaofeng to get to know her.
"People of the same age have more to talk about—that's what Sister Tianqing said."
Walking down the school corridor after school, Nan Xiaofeng explained to Hua Ling beside him.
"Is that so..." Karin murmured to herself.
"Sister Tianqing said a lot about that girl on WeChat, how should I put it... it's making me very concerned."
"..."
The girl wearing glasses remained silent.
Karin wasn't particularly interested in magical girls before.
But ever since she became the magical girl Iris, Karin has gradually started collecting some merchandise.
According to the Hero Association's publicity department, Iris's popularity is rising rapidly, showing signs of surpassing Hyacinth's, and various custom-made merchandise is being produced intensively.
The pictures in my schoolbag were samples given to me by the propaganda department.
Looking at the pure white and elegant magical girl in the picture, so different from her own true form, Karin felt much better.
"That child has a very strange illness. Sister Tianqing said that she can only communicate with people by writing on a drawing board."
Nan Xiaofeng said,
"Sigh... Not only was I abandoned by my mother, but I also contracted this strange disease..."
"That's probably why Sister Tianqing wanted us to get in touch with her."
Nan Xiaofeng shook her head, and Hua Ling frowned slightly, also sighing helplessly.
"I think so too. Sister Tianqing is kind and cute. Xiaofeng, didn't you say that Sister Tianqing bought a lot of merchandise for her? Those must be worth a lot of money."
"That sounds like something Sister Tianqing would do." Nan Xiaofeng nodded gently.
A brief silence.
The setting sun illuminated the girls' way home, its golden light dazzling.
"Speaking of which, did Sister Tianqing mention the child's name?" As if remembering something, Hualing tilted her head and looked at Nan Xiaofeng.
"Lin Muyao," Nan Xiaofeng said softly.
Hua Ling didn't reply, but silently kept it in mind.
After parting ways at the subway station, Karin walked home alone.
My mind kept replaying the conversation I had just had with Nan Xiaofeng.
A girl named Lin Muyao, Sister Tianqing's request, and Lin Muyao's background.
"She was abandoned by her mother," the girl whispered, seemingly talking to someone.
Stepping into the empty house, Hua Ling turned on the living room light and stared blankly at the scenery inside.
The layout of the house remains unchanged from four years ago.
Hua Ling silently changed into slippers, put down her schoolbag, and strolled to the corner of the living room.
I picked up a slightly dusty photo frame and gently brushed away the tiny specks of dust that had settled on it.
A man, a woman, and a laughing child filled the entire frame.
"...Mom, Dad."
Hua Ling muttered to herself.
"I've made a lot of friends recently, and they're all really nice people."
"Did you know that Xiaofeng is actually a magical girl, a super powerful magical girl?"
"I recently tried transforming into a magical girl. I want to protect others. I don't want... I don't want to see that kind of thing happen again..."
The girl's voice gradually distorted, and her eyes filled with tears.
Hua Ling sniffed, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile.
"And also, Sister Tianqing said that there's a girl whose background is very similar to mine. She also likes magical girls, so maybe we can become friends with her."
"Ah... Sister Tianqing is a very cute fox sister. Her smile is beautiful, as bright as the morning sun."
"I'm going to meet that girl with Xiaofeng tomorrow. If possible, I hope I can help her."
"At least...it keeps her from being so lonely..."
The girl's whispers echoed in the dimly lit house.
As always, the golden silhouette floated in the sky above Chengdu.
Su Tianqing did not turn on her camera to do her daily live lesson for the evening. Instead, she silently looked at the secret manual in front of her.
His fox-like eyes were fixed, his gaze sharp.
[Quest: The Secret of My Companion, Updated]
[Hellcats will attack Lin Muyao this weekend, please be prepared]
Besides this updated task, Su Tianqing also saw an even more confusing task:
[Quest: Replenish Mana]
[Replenishes mana to the Hellcat that is low on mana, 0/1]
[Reward: Hellcat Affection +1000]
Su Tianqing stared calmly at the latest mission, her brows furrowed.
Not good.
How exactly does this magic replenishment work...?
