Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 97 Claws Don't Want to Go Back to the Past

But rather...

Why did fate play this cruel joke on her?

The first person she fell in love with turned out to be an evil freak.

It was that shadow that had been threatening Jinju all along, lurking behind them.

She had no idea what kind of agreement Jinju had secretly made with the strange man for her sake, or how much sacrifice she had made.

The scene she heard last night alone terrified her.

Perhaps that was just the tip of the iceberg of their relationship.

Jin Cheng couldn't imagine the whole scene; if she knew everything, would she completely break down?

With her eyes closed, scenes from the past began to appear before her in the darkness.

The scene where Xiao Ju (Little Orange) cries and hugs her is the first time she has acted strangely.

The scene where Xiao Ju goes missing and is found naked by Tang Feng.

It turned out that he was the one who did all of that. Thinking about Tang Feng's behavior at the time, Jin Cheng felt a deep sense of irony.

Then came the scene of the sisters talking in the bedroom, and it was then that she first felt that Xiaoju had grown up.

But now she knows what the price will be...

Then came that unforgettable rainy day.

The strange man cornered them, and Little Orange awakened...

In truth, she was initially unwilling for her sister to awaken, as she knew that being a magical girl was a dangerous profession. While it appeared glamorous, it actually meant constantly facing various powerful and unknown enemies.

She's a magical girl, which is enough for her to protect those around her. Her younger sister doesn't need to get involved; she can just continue to grow up happily under her wing as before.

Looking back, she not only failed to protect her younger sister, but was actually protected by her sister...

Jin Cheng recalled how Jin Ju had repeatedly expressed strong opposition to her relationship with Tang Feng, but she had mistakenly thought that Jin Ju was going through a rebellious phase, and she couldn't help but feel deep regret.

Jin Cheng dared not continue recalling the past.

She deliberately ignored the date that day.

But the touch of fingertips, the warmth of his chest, the softness of his lips—all those first-time sensations were deeply etched into her memory, impossible to forget easily.

The warmer the feeling was at the time, the more ironic it seems in retrospect.

Jin Cheng felt a piercing pain.

Why...?

Tang Feng.

Her breathing became increasingly labored, and Jin Cheng opened her moist eyes, looking towards the seat next to her.

Jinju had fallen asleep leaning back in her chair; she looked very tired.

However, a faint trace of satisfaction remained in the subtle details such as the eyebrows and eyes.

They just now,

It was in the bathroom, just a dozen meters away from her...

Jin Cheng dared not imagine the scene of her sister and Tang Feng having sex; that would be worse than killing her.

If Tang Feng hadn't taken a phone call and left last night, and had continued the conversation next to her, she would have gone crazy on the spot, right?

No, Jin Cheng felt like she was on the verge of going crazy.

Recalling her younger sister's sweet "Master" and her incredibly obedient self-proclaimed little slave girl, how smoothly she said it, as if she had rehearsed it a thousand times.

To protect her, Xiao Ju willingly became the strange man's slave.

She was willing to do it for her useless older sister, not because of some weirdo.

The train was swaying slightly, and Jinju's head, which was leaning against the back of the seat, gradually tilted towards Jincheng.

Jin Cheng took the initiative to help her younger sister, letting her lean on her shoulder.

She reached out and stroked Jinju's slightly cool fingertips, then gently pressed her cheek against her sister's head, which was resting on her shoulder.

Now, this useless older sister can only flee in a sorry state with her injured younger sister, unable to think of a better solution.

She had no better solution; even Maple's Rose couldn't defeat the monster.

She could only try to comfort herself by thinking that perhaps Mei had chosen the wrong target and that it was impossible for her to deliberately protect a strange person.

But the beautiful young woman who suddenly appeared beside Tang Feng tried to shatter her last hope.

Its origin is unknown, but the timing matches.

After Mei came to Binhai City, for some unknown reason, she never took the initiative to contact them. When Fengye took the initiative to contact them, she was told that the matter had been resolved and that Mei had even left Binhai.

Even a proud maple tree wouldn't arrive in a new city and completely cut off contact with the local magical girls, would it?

With such immense power, Maple Flower and the strange man must generate powerful magical fluctuations during their battle, right?

But they didn't sense anything during this time.

There is only one possibility.

Mei... has colluded with the enemy.

even……

Jin Cheng didn't want to think about that possibility.

Therefore, she had no choice but to run away with her sister.

After settling down back in her hometown, she will seek that last glimmer of hope.

That legendary magical girl.

cherry.

Only she could give Jin Cheng a sense of security.

She needed to inform the other party that a traitor had appeared in Maple Flower Village.

As a magical girl of the highest rank, revered by countless people and a symbol upon whom everyone's hopes were placed, she actually betrayed the creed of magical girls and succumbed to the cult of monsters.

She will fight the monster to the end and protect Xiaoju at all costs.

After planning for the future, Jin Cheng's mood finally calmed down.

She looked at Jinju's sleeping face, reached out, and gently wiped away the drool hanging from her sister's mouth.

Only at times like this does Jinju truly embody the image of the little girl who is incredibly dependent on her older sister.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Cheng took out a tissue and wiped her sister's mouth again.

"..."

Jinju's lips opened and closed unconsciously in her sleep, as if she were talking in her sleep.

Jin Cheng listened intently, and Jin Ju's indistinct murmur reached her ears.

"Master...please stop...I can't eat anymore..."

The tissue in Jin Cheng's hand turned into powder.

She clenched her fists tightly, and the confusion and sorrow in her eyes gradually faded, slowly transforming into unparalleled hatred.

Tang... Feng!

The scenery outside the window rushed past, and the train, carrying heavy thoughts, sped away into the distance.

.

Tang Feng returned to his residence with a relaxed and happy mood.

Although the Jinju sisters had temporarily left, the little slave girl's unreserved service in the end brought him great pleasure.

The girl's incredibly soft and tender touch brought Tang Feng a completely different and comfortable experience.

The only regret is that I still couldn't completely let loose and indulge myself to the fullest.

I have a feeling that doing this will pop the water-filled balloon.

"You disappeared somewhere early this morning, and then came back with this lewd look on your face. What disgusting thing did you do this time?"

Moko's cold voice came from the side.

Tang Feng glanced at him sideways. "I remember leaving after I satisfied you. What, you want it again so soon?"

"Isn't there anything else on your mind besides love?" Moko couldn't help but scold.

"But isn't this what succubi like best?"

Tang Feng walked over and separated the jasmine without saying a word.

"you!!!"

Sensing the sudden attack, Moko said indignantly, "You just wait, once I break the seal, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Your time is running out, dear Mozi." Tang Feng diligently tilled the field, like a strong and sturdy old ox.

"Do you really want me to leave?" Moko asked, her face showing displeasure.

Tang Feng, observing the situation, chuckled, "I'm also reluctant to part with you, but we can't afford to offend that person." He paused for a moment, "How about this, you secretly take me to Kyoto, and the two of us take care of Sakura together, so we can enjoy this kind of carefree life every day."

A cold smile appeared on Moko's face. "Do you dare come to Kyoto with me?"

After a major operation a few years ago, the strange characters in that largest core city either went into hiding or fled. Now, no strange character dares to act arrogantly in Kyoto.

With the strongest magical girl Sakura stationed in Kyoto, unless the former Monster King is reborn, he won't be able to stir up any trouble.

"If Moko is willing to protect me, why shouldn't I go?"

"Protect you? Ha..." Moko spat. "You should worry more about whether I'll kill you with Sakura."

"No, it won't happen." Tang Feng was very certain.

Moko looked slightly surprised. "You have so much confidence in me?"

Tang Feng smiled but did not answer.

Putting aside whether I have confidence in Moko, I do have confidence in Sakura.

Moko continued talking to herself, "You did so many terrible things to me back then, don't think that a few days of sweet talk will make me give up my murderous intent towards you."

"You're doing this to me while you're saying you want to kill me. Don't you find that strange?" Tang Feng's tone rose slightly, and he suddenly exerted force.

Moko let out a short, sharp sound, speaking haltingly, "These...two things...don't conflict."

"Killing me wouldn't be so pleasant."

"I will... turn you into... a human pig, and then... use magic... to make you, every day..." Moko was interrupted by Tang Feng before she could finish her spell.

"That's going too far. I didn't even turn you into a human pig. How can you, a magical girl, say such things? It seems I need to teach you a lesson."

With a "whoosh!" sound, the waves rose and fell.

"You...you just wait..."

Faced with Mozi's harsh words, Tang Feng coldly adjusted the bitrate and changed the mode.

The humming and chirping grew louder, gradually drowning out the sound of the babbling water.

.

Ziwan returned to Tang Feng's bachelor apartment.

She did not go to school.

After what just happened, it would be very irrational to continue going to school openly.

After Claw Claw led her away, it returned under her command.

With her claws already exposed, she wouldn't act rashly without Tang Feng's instructions.

Standing at the gate, Ziwan took out her key and paused for a moment.

Even with walls that are fairly soundproof, you can still faintly hear faint noises coming from inside.

She sighed softly to herself and inserted the key into the door.

These parents are really reliable.

Mingming stayed up all night last night.

In the early morning, she vaguely heard a familiar sound.

After going out for a while and coming back, it started again...

They are no longer human.

Is this thing really that addictive?

Recalling the several times she had secretly performed the Unpredictable Water Magic, Ziwan stopped thinking.

She silently pushed open the door.

"..."

"..."

Perhaps not expecting Ziwan to return suddenly, the atmosphere froze, and the group stared at each other in disbelief.

. . . . .

. . . . .

Ziwan stared at the splashing water on the ground, remaining silent.

She raised her head, her clear eyes fixed on the two adulterers who were flaunting their relationship in broad daylight—no, her parents.

Tang Feng brought up Kuzi, feigning nonchalance, and asked, "Why didn't Wanwan go to school today?"

Suddenly, Tang Feng stopped smiling and took a step forward, standing in front of Zi Wan.

Tang Feng squatted down and lifted the girl's skirt slightly.

Although the action seemed somewhat awkward, Tang Feng didn't have a single strange thought about it.

A ten-centimeter-long wound ran across the girl's fair thigh. The bleeding had not yet completely stopped, and bright red blood continued to seep out, making it a shocking sight.

"Who did it?"

Tang Feng asked in a deep voice, seemingly without anger, but the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees at that moment.

At the same time, Ziwan's claws emerged from behind her, chirping as she pounced into Tang Feng's arms.

Ziwan gently lowered her skirt without saying anything more.

She knew that Claw was telling Tang Feng all of this.

Tang Feng held Claw in his arms, gently comforting her while listening to her aggrieved words.

He quickly understood what had happened.

Kind-hearted Claw saves two children from being hit by a car, but is mistaken for a monster. A magical girl happens to be nearby, so a conflict inevitably arises.

However, Claw's true nature is indeed that of a calamity beast, so it's no wonder that Aquamarine and Crimson Flame are so adamant.

Claw Claw voiced the question that had been troubling her for so long, "Daddy, those two pretty older sisters... they give me a very familiar feeling. Is Claw Claw's past... related to them?"

Tang Feng did not deliberately avoid the topic; Claw Claw would eventually find its way back to the past.

He patted Claw Claw's head. "You and they used to be very good friends."

"But why, why do they attack Claw Claw the moment they see her?"

"Because you look different, they don't recognize you."

"Is it because Claw looks too ugly?" Claw's tone was very disappointed. In fact, she had long noticed the difference between herself and her parents and sister.

However, she never took it to heart because her parents and sister all liked her very much, which made her think it wasn't an important matter.

It wasn't until today, when she was surrounded and attacked, that she realized that her appearance was not accepted by everyone.

"No." Tang Feng gently squeezed the elastic tentacles. "If they knew your past identity, they definitely wouldn't dislike you for looking like this."

"Can the claws tell them?"

Tang Feng hesitated for a moment, then instead of answering directly, asked, "Claw Claw, do you want to go back to the past?"

"After we find out about the past, will Daddy still love Claw Claw like he does now?" The girl's innocent and childlike voice echoed in Tang Feng's mind.

"I definitely will," Tang Feng replied without hesitation.

Did Claw Claw like her father in the past?

"Um... I don't like it," Tang Feng said honestly.

Claw's past was that of Ryuki, a traditional and upright magical girl. Let alone liking a weirdo, she would be lucky if she didn't kill him when she met him.

Suddenly, Claw Claw unfurled several long tentacles, wrapping them around Tang Feng's waist. She buried her round head in Tang Feng's chest, and the girl's clear yet childlike voice echoed in his mind.

"Then... Paw Paw doesn't want to go back to the past. If the Paw Paw of the past didn't like Daddy, Paw Paw is afraid that she won't like Daddy as much as she does now."

Tang Feng remained silent for a long time, holding her soft body and gently stroking her.

A moment later, he looked up at Moko, who was already dressed, and said, "When you go back to Kyoto this time, take Claw with you."

"What do you mean?"

"Sakura is better at this than I am. Let her help me see if there's any way to help the paw recover."
