Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 74 Be Your Girlfriend

"So, could you let me confirm?"

Tang Feng stopped the young man, showing no intention of letting him go.

The young man was surprised when another person suddenly appeared, but he didn't pay any attention to it. He had nothing on him, so the other person couldn't find anything by searching him.

"Go ahead and search! But if you can't find anything, you'll have to apologize to me in front of everyone later!"

"no problem."

Tang Feng smiled and stepped forward.

"Actually, I don't need to search you. After all, I don't have the authority to do so, right? Besides, there's an easier way."

Tang Feng extended a hand to Chi Yan, "This kind and beautiful lady, may I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Chi Yan was slightly taken aback when she met Tang Feng's handsome and charming face, but she quickly took her phone out of her pocket.

She held the phone, not handing it to Tang Feng immediately, but whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Actually, he doesn't have any stolen goods on him, otherwise we should just let it go..."

For some reason, she didn't want Tang Feng to lose face in public.

She had already embarrassed herself enough.

As a magical girl and the daughter of a sheriff, she was tricked by a thief and had no way to deal with him.

"rest assured."

Tang Feng gave Chi Yan a reassuring look and took her phone.

Tang Feng started dialing his own number.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for the result.

After a while, nothing happened.

Upon seeing this, the young man grinned.

"I already said I didn't..."

"~We are shining magical girls, soaring freely in the sky, monsters all hide when they encounter us~,..."

A series of pleasant ringtones sounded; the song was childish, but nobody cared about that at the moment.

Because the sound of the bell originated from the young man!

"Sorry, the signal might be a bit weak."

Tang Feng held Chi Yan's phone with two fingers; the screen showed it was making a call. He looked at the young man and gave him a mysterious smile.

Only Chi Yan showed a strange expression, because this song was sung by her good friend Shui Lan, who is also her idol Wu Yu Sha.

This song was sung by Wu Yusha not long after her debut. With her slightly childlike voice, she sings about children's fantasies about magical girls. It is a children's song.

Unexpectedly, Tang Feng used it as his ringtone.

Tang Feng only learned about Shui Lan's identity that day, and then went back to search for Wu Yu Sha's works, and unexpectedly fell in love with this song.

The girl's voice was youthful and beautiful, like a heavenly sound. The theme was his favorite magical girl, and the singer herself was also a magical girl. There was nothing more wonderful than this.

So Tang Feng casually set it as his ringtone, not caring whether it was childish or not.

No one noticed Chi Yan's expression; everyone was staring at the source of the bell ringing from the young man's body.

The young man jumped up as if he had seen a ghost, took off his jacket which had made the noise, and threw it on the ground.

The jacket on the ground was still ringing, and the ringing stopped when Tang Feng pressed the cancel button.

"I think I don't need to say anything more, right?"

Tang Feng's calm tone carried an inexplicable sense of intimidation, and everyone present fell silent.

Only the young man flew into a rage, shouting, "No, I absolutely, no, I didn't! What methods did you use?!"

He was so agitated that he couldn't speak clearly. The matter was already over when suddenly someone jumped out and stopped him. The crucial point was that he clearly remembered not stealing the other person's phone, so why was the other person's phone on him?!

Tang Feng squatted down and opened the coat on the ground.

Inside the clothes, there was an inconspicuous lining, and Tang Feng reached his hand inside.

He took out a black cell phone from inside.

In front of everyone, Tang Feng unlocked the phone with his fingerprint to prove that it was indeed his phone.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the young man stared intently at Tang Feng, certain that it was definitely Tang Feng's doing.

Could it be a more cunning competitor? No, even the most skilled competitor couldn't have slipped a phone into the inner lining of his clothes so quietly.

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene before him.

Although he didn't know why he had missed the hidden compartment during the search, the thief had no way to argue his case now.

"I told you he was a thief!" Crimson Flame declared confidently.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man secretly looked around and saw that no one was stopping him. So he gritted his teeth, pushed aside a passerby, and ran away.

"stop!"

Crimson Flame immediately gave chase.

Seeing that the main characters had all run away, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and no one followed Chi Yan in pursuit.

Tang Feng, holding Chi Yan's phone, paused for a moment without leaving.

As a magical girl, even without transforming, capturing an ordinary person is a piece of cake.

Sure enough, Chi Yan returned quickly, carrying the thief in one hand, and came to Tang Feng.

The thief looked bruised and swollen, clearly having been beaten up.

Tang Feng returned the phone to Chi Yan.

"Thanks."

Chi Yan took the phone and thanked Tang Feng in a serious tone.

If it weren't for Tang Feng, she would have just made a fool of herself in front of everyone, and the thief would have left openly and honestly.

"What methods did you use?" the thief asked unwillingly. Now that he was in their hands, he could only accept his fate, but he still wanted to find out why Tang Feng's phone was in his possession.

"Didn't you steal my phone? Why are you asking me instead?" Tang Feng said calmly.

He didn't care whether the other party had stolen anything; he was simply standing on the magical girl's side.

A girl who falsely accuses others is not qualified to become a magical girl.

So Tang Feng didn't think too much about it and readily helped Chi Yan with this small favor.

Chi Yan punched the thief, telling him to shut up. "Behave yourself."

"What exactly do you want?" The thief adopted a nonchalant expression. "Let me tell you, I know all those guys at the police station very well. Stealing a little something, I'll be out in a few days, it's no big deal."

"Go ahead and tell them," Chi Yan said with amusement.

Following Chi Yan's gaze, the thief saw a police car parked not far behind him, with two police officers getting out and walking towards him.

The thief immediately wore a bitter expression.

He was just joking around; he didn't expect the police to arrive so quickly.

The two police officers approached and immediately burst into laughter; it was an acquaintance.

They received a report from the public that someone was violently assaulting another person in the street. When they arrived at the scene, they discovered that one of the perpetrators was a familiar face from the police station, who had been detained multiple times for petty theft, and the other was the daughter of a leader.

The thief looked bruised and battered, clearly having received a severe beating. It was undoubtedly the work of the girl standing next to him.

They had worked at the police station for many years and were quite familiar with the leader's daughter, knowing that she was warm-hearted, quick-witted, and very skilled in martial arts.

"Little Red, are you catching the thief yourself this time?"

"A police officer said with a smile."

Chi Yan looked dejected. "I already told you not to call me by my nickname."

The thief's face darkened further; it seemed he had really messed up this time.

Another police officer took the young man from Chi Yan's hands and tied his hands behind his back.

The thief suddenly spoke up, "Officer, I suggest you arrest that man over there and interrogate him too. He's definitely an experienced thief."

Before the police could react, Chi Yan glared at him angrily, "Are you asking for a beating?"

Tang Feng, holding the takeout box in his hand, feigned innocence, "I'm just an ordinary passerby whose phone was stolen."

Chi Yan said to the police officer, "Don't worry, he's definitely a good person, I can guarantee it."

"Whether someone is a good person or not isn't something that can be determined with a simple promise. You're still so naive," the police officer said with a smile, before taking the thief to the police car.

After the police car drove away, Chi Yan was still pondering the officer's last words. He stomped his foot and muttered, "Damn it, he actually lectured me like an elder. Tang Feng is clearly a good person. What's wrong with what I said?"

"What are you talking about?"

Tang Feng's sudden voice startled Chi Yan.

"Ah, it's nothing," Chi Yan said somewhat flusteredly, trying to cover it up. "Want to walk with me for a bit?"

Tang Feng gave him a strange look. "We're not that close yet, are we?"

Akagi then realized that she hadn't appeared before him as a magical girl. She had just remembered that, how could she have suddenly forgotten...?

If she extends such an invitation to a stranger, will Tang Feng think she is a casual girl?

Chi Yan gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.

"Tang Feng, actually I... am Chi Yan."

The magical girl's identity is kept absolutely secret from outsiders; apart from her comrades-in-arms, very few people know it.

Only her parents knew Chi Yan's true identity; even two police officers who had known her for years were unaware that she was the magical girl Chi Yan.

For some unknown reason, she has now revealed her identity.

Tang Feng looked at the rather tall girl in front of him with utter surprise. "You're the magical girl Akame?!"

"Exactly."

Tang Feng suddenly decided to tease the other party. He grinned mischievously and said, "As far as I know, a magical girl's identity shouldn't be revealed to outsiders, right? So you're definitely not a real magical girl."

Hearing this, Chi Yan became anxious and pulled Tang Feng to a secluded corner without saying a word.

"Transformation."

A flash of red light appeared, and the magical girl Crimson Flame appeared in front of Tang Feng.

A red combat suit, black short leather pants, long, smooth, flawless legs, and fiery red twin ponytails that danced like flames at the back of her head.

"Can you now prove that I am Crimson Flame?"

Chi Yan spoke with a beaming smile.

Unexpectedly, Tang Feng adopted a serious, elder-like tone, "Chi Yan, your behavior is very dangerous. What if I'm a weirdo? Even if I can't beat you, what if I threaten you with your parents after finding out your identity? The fewer people who know about the original magical girl, the better. You didn't need to tell me."

"I know you're definitely not a bad person, otherwise why would I reveal my identity to you?"

Chi Yan said nonchalantly, "Although you can't tell outsiders about your magical girl identity, I don't think you're an outsider."

"How so?" Tang Feng asked, his tone revealing interest.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Chi Yan looked at Tang Feng, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"Girlfriend..." Tang Feng pondered, "As of now, I don't have one."

Jinju is a female slave, Shengxue is a student, Ziwan is a daughter, and Jincheng is not yet a child, so he was not lying.

"That settles it, doesn't it? I'll be your girlfriend, then you won't be an outsider anymore."

Chi Yan said casually, turning her back to Tang Feng so that he could not see her expression.

But Tang Feng knew that this seemingly carefree girl could also feel shy when talking about such things.

However, Chi Yan's sudden confession surprised him. He thought that they had only met a few times and might not even be friends. He didn't expect that she would suddenly want to be his girlfriend.

Chi Yan's words were not spoken on a whim. From their first meeting, she had a slight liking for Tang Feng. With each encounter, her trust in Tang Feng deepened, and she felt that he was a righteous and reliable good man.

She has never been in a relationship before, and although she doesn't have a strong desire to date him right now, she would still be willing to give it a try if it were Tang Feng.

After all, this man was impeccable in her eyes, both in appearance and character.

Tang Feng thought for a moment and said, "You're still a bit young, let's talk about this later."

Although Chi Yan looks a little older than Jin Ju and the others, she is clearly still at the same age level, unlike Jin Cheng, who is already shed her immaturity and showing her feminine charm at the age of twenty-nine.

He is now seen as a righteous and good teacher, and agreeing too readily would damage Teacher Tang Feng's glorious image.

Of course, that's not the main reason.

Being greedy and always wanting more will only lead to unnecessary trouble. Although he's not afraid of trouble, it would make him seem unprofessional, as someone who has been a notorious womanizer for years can't even handle some naive young girls.

It's not too late to eat what's in the pot after you've finished what's in your bowl.

Therefore, Tang Feng temporarily declined Chi Yan's suggestion.

Chi Yan didn't seem surprised by Tang Feng's answer. She turned her back, shrugged, and said, "So, my first confession was rejected so ruthlessly."

Although her tone sounded casual, a closer listen revealed a hint of disappointment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yan felt himself being embraced by a large, warm embrace.

Warm, comfortable, and devoid of any sentimentality.

She liked this feeling.

Tang Feng hugged Chi Yan from behind. Although the girl was tall, she was still relatively small compared to her peers. In Tang Feng's arms, she still looked a bit petite.

"Red Flame, perhaps you haven't clearly distinguished between liking and love. I'm not rejecting you. Let your feelings ferment for a while, and it won't be too late to make a decision once you've fully understood them."

"By then, I will see a Chiyan who has matured and can take responsibility for the choices he makes. I think I will no longer refuse."

"You are a dazzling magical girl. Don't let this little thing dull your weapon, or you will find it difficult to face powerful enemies."

"So keep up the good work! I hope you'll shine even brighter in the future. I'll always be watching you."

After Tang Feng finished speaking, he released the girl from his arms.

Crimson Flame remained silent for a long time.

"Tang Feng, thank you."

She didn't look back, and transformed into a streak of crimson light, disappearing into the horizon.

After Chi Yan left, Claw Claw cautiously peeked out a little from Tang Feng's pocket.

"Dad, that girl just now gave me a very familiar feeling."

Claw looked in the direction Crimson Flame had left, its voice filled with confusion.

Tang Feng patted Claw's soft, round head. "She's Claw's good friend."

"Really?"

"When has your father ever lied to you?"

"Then why didn't Daddy let Claw Claw out just now?"

"It's not time for you to recognize each other yet. Once Claw Claw becomes a beautiful magical girl, Daddy will introduce you to your old friends."

Claw nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
