Why are the magical girls in your area male?

Calm down, Yuki Tsukishiro, you need to calm down.

The war has only just begun. Today is your first step in changing your strategy and moving forward!

I'm sorry, President.

I admit that you have been very good to me, and have been incredibly caring and attentive to every member of the association.

Knowing I was having financial difficulties, they gave me extra subsidies.

Knowing that I wanted to own my own house, they didn't even need me to write an IOU; they gave me a large advance in the name of the association.

You even secretly cooperated with me, making sure that the relevant people didn't reveal to Yuan Qing that I was Danzhu.

You are my mentor, my benefactor. Besides Ao, you are the person I am most grateful to in this world, truly.

But only Ah Qing...

I can give up everything, but I must fight for Ah Qing!

So, before Aqing becomes my possession, forgive me for launching this "war" against you that you don't know about!

......

It's time for school to end.

Yuanqing sent Yuanxun a text message saying, "I have to attend tutoring classes and will be home late tonight. Take care of dinner yourself." Then, he picked up his schoolbag and said goodbye to Yuecheng Yuki.

"You bastard, you're really not going?"

"No, my part-time job is more important. I'll leave the task of preparing the exam papers to you, the small-town exam-taker!"

Yuki Tsukishiro chuckled heartily, then added, "But even if I don't attend tutoring, you can forget about surpassing me in this exam!"

"Oh? Hehehe, you've actually challenged me? Interesting, I accept your challenge!"

"Alright! If you don't rank as high as me this time, for the next month, you'll have to call me 'Dad' whenever you see me!"

"What arrogance! You dare gamble with seniority? Hagi, you bastard..."

"Cowardly?"

"Chicken? Me, a chicken? Just you wait. This exam, I'll show you what it means for a father to always be a father!"

"OK!"

A sly glint flashed in Yuki Tsukishiro's eyes, revealing a triumphant look on her face:

"I'm off to my part-time job now, you better not sneak off while I'm gone! If you actually end up with the chairman, I'll definitely 'beat' you to death!"

"Let's pinky swear! The gap between me and the president is too big. We're okay as friends, but as lovers..."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Yuan Qing's face, as if he was seriously considering what it would be like to date Shiori Shiomi.

After a long pause, he shook his head and sighed, "Tsk, no, the young president is too domineering. I really can't imagine what it would be like to be all lovey-dovey with her."

"I hope she'll continue being my little mom; I won't ask for anything more."

"Although what you said makes me want to call the police, it's true that you two are not a good match. At least you have the self-awareness to know that."

Yuki Tsukishiro snorted, picked up her schoolbag, said "I'm leaving," and left the classroom.

After organizing his notes for the day, Yuan Qing slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed to the student council activity room.

He had just reached the door when he bumped into Shiori Shiomi, who was coming out from inside carrying a schoolbag.

"President~" Yuan Qing smiled slightly and asked warmly, "How about we go now?"

Shiori Shiomi tilted her head slightly, looking at him: "Otherwise? Is there something else you want to say?"

"No, what I mean is, should we go out at different times, a distance apart, to avoid misunderstandings and rumors if others see us?"

"Don't worry, no one will spread the word. Anyone who dares to do that will be expelled for stepping into the school gate with their left foot first."

"..."

Young man Yuanqing stood at attention.

Well, as expected of someone who drives a Maybach, there's no question about showing gratitude!

Loyal! Sincerity!

"How do we get there? In your car, or...?"

"The subway, Yanhutai Student Apartment is only one stop away from the Harbor Artificial Island. After crossing the Moonlight Bridge, it's just a short walk away."

"Wow, the president actually chose to take the subway, such a fun and approachable mode of transportation? Interesting."

"If you keep making fun of me, I'll really show you why you can't repay kindness forever."

"..."

I didn't expect you to know this meme.

It seems the little president is quite the hidden surfing expert; I'll have to be careful when making jokes in front of her in the future.

The subway station at this time is experiencing its peak passenger flow.

The train carriage was packed with people, like sardines in a can.

The two managed to squeeze on, but were immediately swept away by the surging crowd and pushed to the middle of the carriage.

"Tsk..."

Shiori Shiomi frowned slightly, clearly not used to the crowded environment.

She looked around, searching for something to hold onto.

However, all the seats were already occupied, and even the handrails near the door were firmly occupied.

The only empty space was the row of silver pull rings hanging high above.

Yuan Qing, being tall and long-legged, easily raised his hand and grabbed a pull ring, stabilizing his body.

He looked down at the little president next to him and saw that she was looking up with her small face upturned, her eyes fixed on the pull rings above her head that seemed unreachable, her brows furrowed.

As the train started moving again, Shiori Shiomi seemed to have made up her mind, standing on tiptoe and stretching her arms to reach for it.

Her movements were somewhat clumsy. Although as a magical girl, she could easily be free from the constraints of inertia and gravity with a little effort, she insisted on pulling on the bracelet.

It's like a child getting upset about their height.

Most importantly, when she stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms upward, the huge treasure chest, which was originally hidden by her uniform, was outlined with a clear and full curve by the taut fabric because of her posture.

Yuan Qing's pupils dilated, and he quickly raised his backpack to shield her chest.

Damn it, you little brat, you haven't ridden the subway enough. Do you not know how the women-only cars on the Japanese subway came about in the first place?

Even if the passengers sitting opposite you are all middle-aged women and there are no men, you still shouldn't do that kind of thing!

Although Yuanqing's actions caught Shiori Shiomi's attention, they did not shake her determination to grab the pull ring.

Finally, after the third attempt, Shiori Shiomi's fingertips barely touched the metal edge of the pull ring.

Although she only hooked the pull ring with one finger, it could still be considered that she "got it".

Yuan Qing stood to the side, looking down at the scene, his cheeks flushed red.

Don't laugh.jgp

This girl, although she usually appears mature, composed, and very shrewd, can also be surprisingly serious about some inexplicable things, revealing her childlike nature.

Sigh, that's true.

The president was originally just a minor girl.

She has to shoulder so much responsibility at such a young age; it must be really tough on her.

......

The subway arrived at the station soon.

The two walked out of the subway station together, and after exiting the station, they were just a few steps away from Yanhutai's commercial street.

A strong aroma of takoyaki wafted over, so enticing that you could tell it was delicious just by smelling it.

Minamoto no Aomi and Shiori seemed to pause for a moment, glancing specifically at the takoyaki stall.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, judging from the way Minato looks, she seems quite interested in it.

"President, would you like some takoyaki? It's on me."

Yuan Qing made a move to walk towards the stall, and couldn't help but tease, "A rich young lady like you must have never eaten these common people's foods before, right?"

I understand, I understand. This is a classic trope in fiction: a sheltered young lady from a wealthy family, strictly disciplined from childhood, not even allowed to eat at street stalls...

"That's enough, stop adding unnecessary drama. Don't you think this kind of character development is idiotic?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shiori Shiomi's sharp retort came through.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke with a look of disgust and sarcasm: "A young lady of noble birth is not beyond the Three Realms or outside the Five Elements."

"We're all human, yet you're portrayed as some kind of immortal being by these idiotic works. You watch this kind of stuff every day; no wonder you've ended up needing to catch up on your studies."

"......excuse me."

Yuan Qing silently withdrew his foot.

Damn it! !

How can someone with a mouth that's 37 degrees Celsius say such cold words?

The two walked through the bustling commercial street and turned into a relatively quiet tree-lined avenue.

At the end of the road, a vintage European-style apartment building stands quietly.

The red brick exterior walls are covered with ivy, which twines around the arched doors and windows, exuding a serene and elegant atmosphere in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is the old student dormitory that the academy originally built on Yanodai.

The small garden in front of the apartment building was well-maintained, with several late-blooming roses swaying in the breeze.

Yuan Qing was looking at the stylish building when his gaze was suddenly drawn to a figure at the apartment entrance.

A young girl was standing with her back to them, her head slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought as she stared at the apartment door.

She was slender, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a khaki straight skirt, with short blonde hair that shimmered with an almost transparent soft light in the sunset.

She was wearing a black baseball cap with the brim pulled low, covering most of her face except for her soft chin and slightly pale lips.

The girl exuded a melancholy aura simply by standing there, which seemed out of place with the bright sunset glow around her.

Shiori Shiomi paused noticeably the moment she saw the girl.

Yuan Qing keenly noticed this and paused as well.

His gaze fell on the other person's face, and he was surprised to find that Shiori Shiomi's usual aloofness and coldness turned into concern the moment she saw the girl.

It seems... there's still a hint of sadness and guilt hidden within?

"Tsukimi-kun?" Shiori Shiomi took the initiative to step forward and greet the girl.

Her voice was gentle, and she sounded somewhat cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the other person.

Even such a soft sound startled the dazed girl, making her tremble.

The blonde girl turned around abruptly like a startled fawn, revealing a delicate but slightly pale face beneath her baseball cap. Her beautiful purple eyes were filled with fear and panic.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Shiori Shiomi, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and timidly greeted her:

"Hello, Shiomi-senpai..."

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Yes, I'm fine..."

"Why are you standing outside? Come in and sit down for a while, let's talk."

"No need, I just happened to be passing by Yanhudai Station, so I thought I'd take a look."

The girl's head was bowed low, and her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Looking at her like this, Shiori Shiomi's guilt seemed to deepen.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she only said softly, "I understand, thank you for still thinking of us."

By the way, this is Yuan Qingjun, a new member of the association. Don't be afraid of him; he's an important friend of mine.

The girl quickly looked up at Yuan Qing, a hint of nervousness flashing in her amethyst-like eyes, before lowering her head again and timidly greeting him:
