Do you think this world is serious?

Chen Xiuming glanced inside the flower shop and could almost see the back door leading to the backyard, leaving him speechless.

However, since Vita had taken the initiative to invite him, he naturally couldn't refuse or show any hesitation. He took Vita's outstretched right hand and led her into the flower shop.

Chapter 168 Vita: So is really too stingy.

Vita's hands were soft and restless, her thumb constantly stroking Chen Xiuming's skin.

"These are ordinary flowers, while these are potion flowers that can be used as ingredients for potions."

Chen Xiuming took the initiative to introduce the types of flowers in the flower shop to Vita.

The flowers in Shaniat's Flower Shop are divided into two sections, left and right, displaying ordinary flowers and potion flowers respectively, so that customers can distinguish between them.

—It is difficult for non-magical girls to distinguish between ordinary flowers and potion flowers.

Vita looked at the various flowers in the flower shop with great interest, but did not reach out to touch them.

After all, she didn't understand flower cultivation and wasn't sure if she could reach out and touch them.

Passing through the area displaying various flowers, you'll find a "rest area" with sofas and a front desk for cashiers and packers. Behind the front desk, on the left and right sides, are back doors leading to the backyard and stairs leading to the second floor.

Chen Xiuming pointed to the stairs and explained, "Cecilia and I usually live on the second floor."

Vita appeared to be deep in thought, then glanced curiously at the staircase leading to the second floor.

Although she was very curious about Chen Xiuming's bedroom, Vita did not suggest going to see the layout of the second floor, considering that they had only known each other for a short time.

Chen Xiuming gently pushed open the back door and led Vita into the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, they discovered that the "missing" Freya, Brolo, Magic Sirin, and Trili were all in the gazebo in the middle of the backyard.

Looking at the not-so-small pavilion, Chen Xiuming fell into thought.

As the number of girls he met increased, the number of girls gathering in the backyard also increased, making the originally spacious pavilion feel rather cramped.

Perhaps it's time to expand the gazebo...

Chen Xiuming pondered to himself, then continued walking with Vita towards the pavilion without stopping.

Vita, who hadn't had a chance to properly observe the magical girls before, took this opportunity to look them up and down at the four magical girls sitting in the pavilion.

Correspondingly, Freya, Brolo, and Magic Sirin were also eyeing Vita.

The first two focused their attention on Chen Xiuming and Vita's clasped hands, while the latter stared thoughtfully at Vita's face.

As Chen Xiuming and Vita approached the pavilion, Fulei muttered with a hint of jealousy, "Xiuming is such a womanizer..."

Chen Xiuming chuckled, then released Vita's right hand and instead reached out to stroke Freya's face, causing her cheeks to flush with an alluring blush and easing her jealousy.

"uh-huh……"

Fulei made a nasal sound that sounded both comfortable and satisfied, and even her eyes narrowed as she looked very much enjoying herself.

Vita smiled faintly, casually found a seat, then rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the four magical girls.

If Vita hadn't known beforehand that Flay and the other girls were "magical girls," she really wouldn't have been able to tell that they were magical girls.

Before actively revealing their "magical girl" side, magical girls actually look no different from ordinary girls.

Recalling the "lighting magic" she had recently learned, Vita suddenly developed a strong interest in "magic".

At least, this power system allows her current body to overcome its weakness and gain some initial ability to protect herself.

Thinking of this, Vita couldn't help but mutter to herself.

They made her carry out such a dangerous mission, and not only did they fail to provide timely support, they weren't even willing to optimize her frail body...

Oh dear, your caution is almost turning into stinginess.

Vita's indignant criticism of So in her heart would not be known to So, who had taken the initiative to cut off contact.

On the other side, Fulei was no longer satisfied with Chen Xiuming stroking her cheek, and took the initiative to hug Chen Xiuming's arm.

Before she could lean any closer to Chen Xiuming's chest, Cecilia, Maria, Angelia, Sirin, and Seele entered the backyard.

Putting aside the fact that Cecilia was her "older sister," Flère didn't want to show any girlish emotions like being coquettish in front of Seele.

—In front of most magical girls, she always appears as a mature and reliable senior.

"Xiu Ming, can you tell me about your experience in that city? I... everyone is very curious."

Fulei took the initiative to ask.

Chen Xiuming nodded, took a few seconds to organize his thoughts, and then briefly recounted his experiences in Canghai City.

Each time he returned from another world bubble, he would take the initiative to recount his experiences there. This had become a routine, and the girls enjoyed listening to Chen Xiuming talk about other world bubbles, considering it one of their few forms of entertainment.

Even Vita, who assisted in managing and destroying many world bubbles, was listening intently to Chen Xiuming's story, her beautiful ruby-red eyes fixed on Chen Xiuming's eyes, lost in thought.

When Terri heard that there was a Moonlit Embrace in Canghai City who looked exactly like her, her eyes brightened noticeably.

Although she didn't say it outright, she actually envied Magic Sirin and Freya, who had "younger sisters".

Even though she has a relatively weak personality, she still wants to be another "older sister" to her.

However, before she could be happy for long, she learned from Chen Xiuming that Yuexia Chuyong was not only older than her, but also much more mature in appearance. She was stunned and speechless, as if struck by lightning.

Even her towering rabbit ears seemed to have lost their strength, drooping limply.

Terri's appearance immediately caught Vita's eye, making her find it very cute and at the same time quite amusing.

"Why……"

Terri was devastated, then became somewhat frantic, "Damn it! Why am I the only 'little sister' and not the 'big sister'?!"

"Terrily, try to think more positively. At least you can meet another version of yourself."

Brolo reached out and patted Trillie on the shoulder, offering her words of comfort in a calm tone.

Of the four magical girls, she is now the only one who has not yet met "another version of herself".

Although Seele often mentions "Bronya," it's only in passing. Brolo doesn't know when he'll be able to meet the "Bronya" that Seele talks about.

"It seems to be the same..."

Hearing Brolo's words of comfort, Trillie seemed to find them reasonable, and even her inner disappointment vanished without a trace.

Having a sister who was even more unlucky than herself, she suddenly felt that becoming "another version of herself" was acceptable, since her personality was inherently weak and not really suited to be an "older sister".

Furthermore, one can also learn what they will look like when they grow up through "another self".

"Terri is so cute~"

Seeing Trillie's expression change from disappointment to satisfaction, Vita couldn't help but sigh softly in admiration.

If she weren't sitting next to Terri, she would have reached out and touched Terri's head and those rabbit ears that looked so nice to touch.

Chapter 169 A Moonlit Embrace That Makes Me Fall Asleep Immediately

Time slipped away quietly as Chen Xiuming narrated.

Principal Cecilia systematically issued a series of notices, conveying information about Canghai City.

This information all comes from Chen Xiuming, and it is designed to be concise and clear, allowing residents of the Crescent Moon New District to quickly understand Canghai City.

In addition, Principal Cecilia is also laying the groundwork for future exchanges between the two cities.

However, Qiluoxing is currently on rest, and there is no one to help her convey various notices. She must send out the relevant notices one by one herself.

My body, already somewhat tired from the pleasures of lovemaking, felt even more exhausted during my busy work.

As the headmistress of the Magical Girl Academy and the manager of the Crescent Moon District, she not only needs to prepare for the exchange between the two cities, but also needs to handle various post-war plans and review the losses of various materials, food and buildings.

Although the invasion of the Quantum Shadows has ended, it has left behind considerable aftereffects.

—Most of the farmland outside the Crescent Moon New District was destroyed in the war.

Although magical girls can use magic to accelerate the ripening of food, high-intensity ripening can result in food with a poor taste.

In the past, ripening grains was done by setting ripening intervals according to their growth stages, ensuring the grains grew as quickly as possible while maintaining their taste.

Intensive ripening requires a lot of manpower, and some farmland is also damaged beyond recognition, requiring the use of magic to restore it...

This matter gave Principal Cecilia a real headache. She had to balance the magical girls' classes, the plants' ripening, and their rest, while also figuring out what rewards to give them.

Coincidentally, Cecilia, the principal of the school in Crescent Moon District, was having a headache, while Karen, who had finally managed to calm the citizens down, was also feeling a headache and irritability.

Looking at the content Chen Xiuming sent about the Crescent Moon New District and magical girls, she felt like she was holding a hot potato, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it.

Once this information is released, the order she has painstakingly stabilized will suffer a violent blow.

Putting aside everything else, the universities and colleges in Canghai City alone will attract a wave of students dropping out.

Since all "magical girls" are female, male students generally do not consider transferring to a magical girl academy. However, regardless of whether female students have the qualifications to become "magical girls," their parents will inevitably make their children take the tests.

Even worse, some parents might choose to impersonate "students" and try to become "older magical girls," also known as "magical aunties."

"Xiu Ming, Xiu Ming... you've really given me quite a bit of trouble..."

Karen looked somewhat haggard, and gently rubbed her temples, trying to relieve the headache.

"Well……"

As if hearing the "keyword," Yuexia Chuyong, who was sleeping on the desk, quickly woke up from her sweet dream and looked at Karen with a dazed expression. "Sister, I think I heard you call Xiuming... Is Xiuming here?"

"……No."

Karen shook her head slightly, looking at Chuyong under the moonlight, who looked tired from not sleeping well, and felt a pang of pity.

"Theresa, if you're tired, you should go back and rest."

"What about sister?"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong instinctively asked, "Aren't you going to rest, sister?"

"I...I still have a lot of things to do."

Karen shook her head and sighed silently.

Canghai City is several times the size of Xianyue New District, so much so that there are far more things to deal with than in Xianyue New District.
