Why are the magical girls in your area male?

"Yes, you can get a good rest tonight."

"understood."

Yuan Qing nodded and pushed the chocolate a little towards Shiori Shiomi: "This is for you."

"..."

Shiori Shiomi paused in her act of turning the pages of the book.

She slightly raised her head, glanced at the chocolate the other person was pushing towards her, then lowered her head again, asking indifferently:

"What, you're trying to bribe me as soon as you get in, trying to get in through my back door?"

"Huh? Really? Is that really okay...?"

"?"

"Ahem, don't overthink it. I just felt you'd worked hard, so I wanted to treat you."

"..."

Yuan Qing's smile almost froze, but Shiori Shiori remained cold and aloof, not even glancing at the box of chocolates on the table.

He assumed the other person didn't like it, so he silently reached out, ready to withdraw his hand: "Fine, since you don't want it, then..."

"boom."

Suddenly, the other person slammed their hand on the table, stopping Yuan Qing in his tracks.

Then, a muffled voice, much lower in volume, came through:

"...I didn't say I didn't want it."

"Oh......"

"That's all? Nothing else?"

"Nope."

"Then you can go."

After giving the order to leave without any politeness, Shiori Shiomi refocused her attention on her book.

Yuan Qing decided not to make trouble for himself. If he really angered this little girl, it would be a loss for him.

"I'll head back now, see you tomorrow."

He smiled, waved, and left the student council activity room.

"Clang."

The door was closed, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Shiori Shiomi put down her book and her gaze fell on the box of chocolates.

It's the kind sold in the school supermarket; the packaging is fairly nice, but it's definitely not a high-end product.

It offers great value for money.

"This guy is so stingy when it comes to giving gifts."

She muttered a complaint under her breath.

That's what she said, but Shiori Shiomi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly by a single pixel.

......

On the other side, after leaving the teaching building, Yuan Qing slowly walked towards the school gate.

However, before he even reached the school gate, he saw a large group of boys gathered on the side, peeking in the direction of the gate in a rather lewd manner.

Aren't these guys from the sports department? Instead of working out, what are they doing standing here watching?

As Yuan Qing passed by them, he inevitably heard the animals shouting:

"That girl isn't from our school, is she? Her school uniform is a style I've never seen before!"

"Duh, that's Hua Xiaochuan's uniform. My sister goes to school there."

"Holy crap, is that Hua Xiaochuan who cut the ribbon for His Majesty the Emperor back then? His looks are ridiculously high!"

"Dads, I have a dream: to add that girl on Line. Could you...?"

"No, get out of here. That girl is 1.7 meters tall and has an aura of 8.9 meters. She's definitely not easy to handle. Calling her 'Dad' isn't enough."

Hearing this, Yuan Qing roughly understood the reason for the sensation.

Ha, a bunch of good-for-nothings. No matter how pretty she is, she's still a woman. Is she some kind of fairy?

I want to see just what kind of girl could make you all so infatuated...

Am I stupid? !

Yuan Qing was suddenly stunned.

The girl turned around, holding her schoolbag in both hands, and stood gracefully under the huge cherry blossom tree at the school gate.

The golden rays of the setting sun filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled light on her, as if draping her in a sacred wedding dress.

Even the "Folding Mirror - Danzhu" label on the girl's head seemed to have become even brighter.

Volume 1: Chapter 69 Brother, are we on a date? (5/5)

No, man...

What are you trying to do?

Yuan Qing's brain briefly went blank.

One reason is that Yuecheng... oh no, Danzhu clearly went to work, but now he suddenly appears here, which surprised him.

Secondly, it's because this dog is just too good-looking.

She was wearing a sailor uniform from Hanashikawa Girls' Academy: a sky-blue top, a white pleated skirt, and a small, cute dark red bow tie at the neckline.

Her shoulder-length silver hair shimmered with a cool luster under the setting sun, with a few strands of crimson highlights at the ends like leaping flames, adding an eerie yet passionate beauty to the coolness.

Her features are as exquisite as a work of art, and her figure needs no further description; whether it's her slender waist or her long legs, they are all impeccable.

She simply stood there quietly, as if she had gathered all the light around her, breathtakingly beautiful, making her seem unreal.

They don't seem like real people at all!

When Danzhu saw Yuanqing walking over, her heart jumped into her throat.

Phew, it's here, it's finally coming.

Don't be nervous, Yuki Tsukishiro. Don't be nervous, you can do it.

I've rehearsed it so many times in my mind, there's no problem, absolutely no problem!

She silently encouraged herself, forcing a ladylike smile as she greeted Yuan Qing:

"Yuanqing, are you out of school?"

Her voice was sweet and melodious, clear and pleasant, like the sound of a flowing spring.

Very good, a very ladylike starting stance!

"Uh, um." Yuan Qing tried his best to avoid looking at the label above the other person's head.

He had no idea what this scoundrel was up to, so he decided to play along for now: "Senior Danzhu, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Well, I (おれ) am..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Danzhu was immediately choked, like a duck being strangled.

Yuan Qing, standing opposite her, was also taken aback for a moment: "Uh, me (おれ)?"

"Cough cough!"

She forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her voice trembling as she tried to salvage the situation:

"Ah, no, no! I mean, boku... uh!"

"..."

Danzhu's mind went blank for a moment.

It’s over.

I just blurted it out...

Twice in a row!

A blush began to creep up to the base of his ears at a visible speed.

Her fingers gripped the handle of her handbag so tightly it looked like she wanted to snap it in two.

"No! That! Servant...ah! Private (わたし, Watashi)! It's private (わたし)!"

"..."

Yuan Qing was starting to lose his composure.

Brother, although I don't know what your purpose is, I really want to cooperate with you.

But could you please be a little more professional?

Your self-disclosure of being a werewolf is really hard for me to handle.

He suppressed the urge to mock the other person, remained calm, and asked in a very polite manner:

Are you waiting for the president?

"Yes, yes." Danzhu quickly seized the opportunity to back down, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"The president seems to have some things to do. How about I take you to the student council activity room?"

"No need, Yuanqing. Since the president is busy, there's no need to trouble yourself."

She awkwardly raised her hand to scratch her hair, but only halfway up did she realize something was wrong.

That's a habit only Yuki Tsukishiro would have!

Her hand froze in mid-air, then she awkwardly smoothed a stray hair behind her ear, her movements quite stiff.

It's clear that she's really trying her best to portray a young girl.

"Cough cough..."

Danzhu cleared her throat, trying to keep her voice calm, and said haltingly:

"Yuanqing, everyone already knows about your joining the association."

I happened to be passing by, and I was thinking... um, how about we take a walk together?

After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that the invitation was a bit abrupt, and quickly added:

"No, don't misunderstand. I wanted to talk to you about the association. As Kaoru's partner and senior, it's my duty to take care of the newcomer... Yes, it's what I should do."

Yuan Qing almost burst out laughing as he watched her trying her best to maintain the "cool senior" persona, but appearing somewhat clumsy due to nervousness.

Good guy.

Hagiwara, your acting... needs improvement!

What do you mean by "just happened to be passing by"? And "let's take a walk together and look after the newcomers"?

I think you don’t understand it at all!

However, Yuan Qing also became interested.

He really wanted to see what this bastard was up to.

"Okay."

Yuan Qing readily agreed, a bright smile spreading across his face. "It is my honor to take a walk with Senior Danzhu."

Danzhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but Yuanqing's bright smile made her heart skip a beat and her cheeks flush slightly.

She quickly looked away, then turned around, feigning composure, and said, "Well then, let's go."

The two walked side by side on the tree-lined path leading to the subway station, their shadows lengthened by the setting sun.

Danzhu tried hard to recall the walking postures of the elegant girls in TV shows and comics.
