Why are the magical girls in your area male?

"Hello, Gen-senpai, I am Tsukimi, Tsukimi Haruka."

Yuan Qing was still lost in thought, letting his imagination run wild after Shiori Shiomi's words about "an important friend," and didn't immediately snap out of it.

It wasn't until Shiori Shiomi kicked him without making a sound that he reacted and quickly replied, "Yeah, hello!"

"Tsukimi-kun, how's everything at home? How's your mother's health? How's business at the pet shop?"

Shiori Shiomi asked several questions in a row, and Haruka Tsukimi immediately froze as if her computer had crashed.

After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Everything's fine..."

"Is that so? That's good. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. Whether it's me or the association, we will do our best..."

"Shiomi-senpai, I... I have to go home quickly, otherwise my mother will worry. Goodbye."

After saying that, as if she could no longer bear the atmosphere, she turned around abruptly and left as if fleeing before Shiori Shiomi could respond.

Yuan Qing stared at the disappearing figure, then looked at Shiori Shiomi beside him with a complicated expression, filled with doubt.

This atmosphere... is so strange, isn't it?

That girl named Tsukimi Haruka was more than just shy.

The tension, timidity, and Belikov-like demeanor she exuded, along with the complex emotions of near-fear she displayed when facing Shiori Shiomi, all seemed quite strange.

Shiori Shiomi's reaction was even more intriguing.

Tension, complex emotions, concern, guilt...

This was the first time Yuan Qing had ever seen such obvious emotional fluctuations on her face.

Once the other person's figure had completely disappeared, he couldn't help but ask, "President, who is she?"

Shiori Shiomi remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly withdrew her gaze, quickly concealing the complex emotions on her face and regaining her cool and calm demeanor.

“A friend of mine, who used to be a member of the association, is not in good health and is rather introverted, not used to interacting with people.”

She paused, then added, "She's a very quiet child and doesn't like being disturbed."

"understood."

Yuan Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Not feeling well? Introverted?

I'm afraid it's more than that.

Since she's a member of the association, it means she's also a magical girl.

Judging from Shiori Shiomi's reaction just now, that girl seems to have some kind of story with the association.

Moreover, it's not a very good one.

However, since Shiori Shiomi was unwilling to say more, Gensei naturally wouldn't ask any further questions. He simply kept the matter in mind for the time being and let it pass as a minor incident.

Volume 1: Chapter 98 I've shown you my legs, can't you at least do something for my Pochi-chan?! (5K)

The two stopped at the entrance of the apartment.

Shiori Shiomi reached out her hand, intending to push the door open.

But just as he reached out, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, a girl, whom neither of them expected, appeared at the door with a bright smile:

"President? Yuanqing? What brings you here?"

The voice was clear and crisp, carrying just the right amount of surprise and enthusiasm.

"..."

Shiori Shiomi fell silent.

As for Yuan Qing, he smiled with relief.

Hahaha......

Danzhu in the ditch is still chasing me.

Yuki Tsukishiro, you're something else.

I took it.

What exactly do you want?

The person who appeared behind the door was Zhejing Danzhu, who was holding an empty mug and seemed to be going to fill it with water.

She was dressed in comfortable loungewear, with a loose-fitting knitted cardigan casually over it. Her silver-white hair was loosely tucked behind her ears, and she wore an elegant and poised smile.

"Why don't you say anything?"

Her gaze swept between the two of them, finally settling on Shiori Shiomi's face, her tone revealing a natural hint of doubt:

"President, and Yuanqing, why have you suddenly come here? Is there something you need?"

"..."

Danzhu's performance was flawless, as if it were truly just a chance encounter.

Yuan Qing saw this and couldn't help but want to applaud her.

Sure, Yuki Tsukishiro.

You kid, how long has it been and your acting skills have improved to this level?

Not long ago, when you first became Danzhu and asked me to go for a walk, you couldn't even walk properly.

Now they can actually lie through their teeth without batting an eye?

Look at your posture! One foot is planted on the ground, and the other is on tiptoe, standing like a quail.

Is it really necessary to be so... girlish?

You're already very beautiful, and if you add a touch of girlishness, it'll be hard for me to concentrate.

After a brief moment of confusion, Shiori Shiomi's eyes seemed to have come to a realization, and she regained her composure.

She nodded slightly, her gaze calmly sweeping over the empty cup in Danzhu's hand, then at her overly "homey" attire, her amber eyes devoid of any extra emotion.

"It's nothing," Shiori Shiomi replied casually. "Exams are coming up soon, and Gensei isn't very good at some of his subjects, so he's planning to ask me to help him study."

"Oh, tutoring, is that right? I see." Danzhu raised an eyebrow slightly, stepped aside to make way, and showed a hint of curiosity on her face. "Yuanqing, which subjects are you weak in?"

Yuan Qing was still immersed in this bastard's acting skills, so he didn't react immediately.

Noticing that both of their gazes were focused on him, he coughed lightly and replied somewhat awkwardly:

"Everything else is fine, but it's mainly Mandarin and English... well, how should I put it? I wouldn't say it's a weakness, but there's more room for improvement?"

Danzhu almost burst out laughing.

Good bro, you're just being stubborn. You're making it sound so high and mighty. So what if you're only good at one subject? I'm not going to laugh at you.

"Go in first."

Shiori Shiomi spoke succinctly and took the lead into the apartment.

Yuan Qing had already guessed that Yuki Tsukishiro was going to pull a bunch of weird tricks to mess with his mentality again.

But now that things have come to this, a hero can't just desert his post.

He sighed helplessly to himself and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them inside.

As he passed by Danzhu, he could clearly catch a glimpse of cunning slyness flashing in the other's eyes.

"..."

What on earth is this guy planning? I have a bad feeling about this.

But with the guild leader around, this bastard should restrain himself even if he wants to cause trouble, right?

The tutoring session was held in the common lounge on the first floor, which was a large living room similar to a "hotel lobby".

The huge and spacious hall was a bit old; the wooden floor made a creaking sound when you walked on it, and the surrounding walls had turned yellow from the erosion of time.

In the center of the hall was a long table, surrounded by leather sofas of varying sizes, with a soft carpet laid underneath.

Near the second-floor staircase on the inside, there is a dining table and several chairs, presumably where the students living here usually eat.

The last rays of the setting sun streamed in through several floor-to-ceiling windows, and the air was filled with fine dust particles visible to the naked eye.

Each window was flanked by vibrant flowers, clearly being carefully tended to, creating a rather warm and inviting atmosphere.

Shiori Shiomi walked to the dining table, sat down, and took out the prepared textbooks and exercises.

Yuan Qing sat next to her, maintaining a distance that was neither too offensive nor too distant.

Danzhu took the water cup, filled it, and made a move to go upstairs.

But as she reached the top of the stairs, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked in a natural tone:

"By the way, President, I've been stuck on some parts of my review lately, and there are a few problems I don't quite understand. Since you're here, why don't I listen in too? Discussions are more efficient with more people involved!"

Shiori Shiomi looked up, glanced at her calmly, said nothing, and simply nodded indifferently: "Okay."

Yuan Qing remained outwardly calm, but the thought "I knew it" immediately surfaced in his mind after the other party uttered those words.

Here it comes, here it comes! I knew this bastard was going to cause trouble!

"Then I'll go back to my room to get my exercises and notes," Danzhu said, turning and running lightly upstairs.

Gensei and Shiori Shiomi started their tutoring sessions first.

About five or six minutes later, footsteps were heard again at the bottom of the stairs.

Yuan Qing subconsciously looked up, and what he saw almost made his eyes pop out!

Danzhu had completely changed his clothes.

She wore a slightly loose white silk shirt, with the top few buttons deliberately left undone, revealing her delicate, dimpled collarbone.

The slightly open neckline subtly reveals an alluring, undulating silhouette.

Her lower body was covered by a soft, light gray short skirt that barely covered her hips.

Those straight, long, and dazzlingly white legs were almost completely exposed to the air. With each step down the stairs, her snow-white thighs would appear and disappear with the rise and fall of the hem of her skirt.

Good guy!

If he hadn't known that this beautiful girl's true identity was that bastard Yuki Tsukishiro, Gensei would definitely have been unable to resist Pochi.

Danzhu gracefully walked over and sat down opposite the two. As soon as her buttocks touched the chair, she deliberately crossed her beautiful legs in an exaggerated gesture.

A faint, cool floral scent emanated from her, lingering around Yuan Qing's nose.

"Okay, shall we begin? Yuanqing, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm quite confident in my Chinese and English subjects."

"..."

Where does confidence come from?

I was thinking, you didn't drag me down much in those two subjects last time, did you?

Do you remember when you played CS:GO with me before, and you said "down the bag"?

And what about saying "give you color look look" when mocking the other side?

I can remember these two English sentences for the rest of my life, really.

Shiori Shiomi's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if she had figured something out.

Then, ignoring the increasingly eerie atmosphere in the air, she opened the workbook and steered the tutoring session back on track with a single sentence:

"Let's begin, Yuanqing. Tell me about the knowledge points that are most troubling you."

"Oh," Yuan Qing withdrew his gaze, took out the test paper he had done today, and leaned closer. "President, could you help me take a look at this question? The subjunctive mood conjugation in classical grammar..."

Just as Shiori Shiomi was about to speak, Danzhu's voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, this grammar point..."

She straightened up, moved closer to Yuan Qing, and said:

“I remember there are a few special cases that are easy to confuse, such as the imperfect hypothetical conjugation of ‘If yesterday had been sunny’ and the present hypothetical conjugation of ‘Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny’.”

The root words are the same, but the tense markers in the suffixes are different...

Her words pinpointed the source of Yuan Qing's confusion.
