Why are the magical girls in your area male?

Baiye's explanations began to wander freely, interspersed with all sorts of strange metaphors and insights into life.

"This magical control is like a shaker in a bartender's hand. Shake it too hard, and the ice will break! The texture will be rough! Shake it too lightly, and the flavor won't blend in! Well... burp, you have to get the rhythm right!"

"And this external magic is actually the same principle as sobering up! Good wine needs to be sobered up, and so does magic! Let it relax and not be so tense!"

“Yuanqing-kun, let me tell you, magic… is like drinking wine! You can’t rush it, you have to savor it slowly! Downing it in one gulp is for a reckless person! You have to feel it! Understand? Feel it!”

"..."

As she talked on and on, she would occasionally take a few sips of water, and the flush on her cheeks became more and more obvious.

I have a feeling that I'm about to enter my heat cycle...

Yuan Qing felt dizzy and disoriented, as if his CPU was about to be burned out by this "drunkard theory".

He suppressed the urge to complain and tried his best to glean useful information about flight magic from Bai Ye's increasingly elusive words.

finally......

"Alright, that's enough about the theory!"

With a wave of his hand, Bai Ye nearly threw the wine jug away. "Practice! Practice makes perfect!"

"Come, Yuan Qingjun, stand in the center of the magic circle, feel the magic power, imagine yourself... uh... floating up like a freshly opened bottle of fine wine!"

Yuan Qing: "..."

Like a bottle of fine wine floating up?

What kind of description is this?!

He steeled himself and stood in the center of the magic circle, concentrating his mind and mobilizing the magic power within his body. Following the method that Bai Ye had explained when she was still somewhat conscious, he attempted to construct a magic circuit and perceive the space.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Bai Ye paced back and forth like an exam proctor, carrying a wine flask. "Relax, don't be tense. Imagine the magic transforming into silky golden wine, smooth on the palate, and flowing down your throat!"

You drunkard, that's enough!

Yuan Qing took a deep breath, trying to block out Bai Ye's "drunkard's words," and focused on trying to understand it according to his own understanding.

However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't achieve what Bai Nue had said: externalizing magic into a force that alters gravity.

In addition, he noticed that the magic circle beneath his feet did not react to his magic power at all.

It's as if his magic is incompatible with this place...

After several unsuccessful attempts, Yuan Qing had no choice but to give up and decided to ask Bai Ye what was going on.

However, he had just raised his head—

"Pfft!"

There was a muffled sound.

Bai Ye, perhaps drunk, lost his balance and tripped over his own feet, falling straight onto the polished floor of the training room. The silver wine jug in his hand rolled away with a clatter.

"..."

The training room was deathly silent.

Yuan Qing stared in disbelief at the white pheasant lying motionless on the ground.

After a few seconds.

"Huh, huh..."

A soft, even snore came from the floor.

"..."

Yuan Qing unconsciously covered his face.

Ugh.

It seems like the flight lesson is off. I'll wait until Shiori Shiomi, that little loli, comes back and ask her.

While you're at it, tell her all about it!

He sighed, resigned himself to his fate, and carefully helped the drunken, mature woman to her feet.

However, the moment he helped the other person up—

"Hiccup, bear, little bear~"

The white eagle uttered a muffled murmur, and like an activated octopus, it suddenly stretched out its arms towards Yuan Qing in his horrified gaze!

"Hoohoo!"

A tremendous force is coming!

Yuan Qing had no time to react. He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a strong, aggressive feminine scent, mixed with the aroma of alcohol, instantly overwhelmed him!

His body lurched backward uncontrollably, and with a thud, he fell to the ground along with Bai Ye.

The white pheasant seemed to have found its most beloved pillow, and wrapped itself around it with both hands and feet.

Her arms were like iron hoops, tightly encircling Yuan Qing's neck and chest, and one of her long, strong legs, covered in sheer white stockings, pressed down on his waist without any hesitation!

The worst part was that her impressive water storage bag was shoved squarely into Yuan Qing's face!

"Well!!"

Yuan Qing's breath hitched instantly, and everything went dark before his eyes!

My nostrils were filled with the strong smell of alcohol and a rich, unique fragrance that belonged only to a mature woman!

The cheeks and mouth/nose were pressed down tightly, creating a strong sense of oppression.

He could even clearly feel the other person's heartbeat, heavy and relentless, hitting his cheek through the thin combat suit!

Buhou! My brain is about to shut down!

Hey, you, get the hell out of here! Get back to sleep!

Hey, stop pretending to be dead! Hurry up and save him!

Wow, it's not even 15 yet, how did you get votes?!

No! Sir, please don't die!

Yuan Qing's vital signs were put to the test.

Gentlemen, I like facial cleanser, but you can't use it with the intention of suffocating me.

The great and legendary freedom fighter, Sigmund Freud, once said: "I can't breathe!"

Yuan Qing grabbed Bai Ye's shoulders, trying to pry the other off with his astonishing strength.

But Bai Nue's astonishing power was clearly stronger than his.

Especially when he's drunk and berserk, his peak A-level power is something he can't easily shake!

"Bear, don't move, be good..."

The white ye seems quite unhappy with the "pillow's" struggle.

She mumbled indistinctly, tightening her arms around him, rubbing her cheek against Yuan Qing's hair, and letting out a satisfied sigh, "Mmm, so warm..."

"..."

You're warm now, but I'm probably going to die.

You're such a drunkard, you'll be drunk after just one bottle! What are you even trying to do, trying to drink like others?!

The lingering fragrance and the deadly touch, combined with the dizziness caused by lack of oxygen, made him see stars.

He felt no pleasure in being submerged in the snow, only a strong desire to survive.

Hehehe, I must survive!

Yuan Qing mustered all his strength and exerted it once more!

Finally, he managed to pry the white eagle off his body.

"Whoosh—sha, sha!"

He was breathing heavily, and the sense of redemption from surviving the ordeal gave him a new understanding of the world.

It's good to be alive!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and decided to go to the restaurant to get some iced drinks to calm his nerves and wash his face to clear his head.

Thinking this, he stopped paying attention to the white ye, which he had tossed aside like a rag, got up and staggered out of the training area, heading in the direction of the restaurant he remembered.

The association's fortress has a complex internal structure, but fortunately the signs are fairly clear.

As you walk through several quiet corridors, the aroma of food begins to fill the air.

Pushing open the restaurant's heavy, carved wooden door, Yuan Qing was stunned by what he saw.

The restaurant was brightly lit, with a huge crystal chandelier emitting a soft glow.

What's most eye-catching is one end of the long dining table in the center of the restaurant.

There, a small mountain was piled up.

To be precise, it's a small mountain made up of finger-licking good original recipe chicken, fries, chicken wings, and all sorts of fried foods and desserts that I can't name!

At the foot of this small hill, a figure was sitting, engrossed in hard work.

Who else could it be but Ritsuki Toriumi?!

She sat cross-legged on a high-backed chair, holding a piece of original recipe chicken in her left hand and a fries covered in ketchup in her right, and frantically stuffed food into her mouth with an overwhelming momentum!

She stopped chewing until her cheeks were bulging like a hamster's.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The crisp sound of chewing echoed in the empty restaurant.

After finishing her food, she grabbed the glass of cola with a straw next to her and took a few big gulps, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Hiccup!"

Yuan Qing: "..."

He wanted to say something, but at that moment, he felt he could let go of whatever he saw.

He silently walked to the beverage section, took out a can of ice-cold Coke from the freezer, pulled the tab with a "plop" and took a big gulp!

The cool bubbles stimulated his throat, finally clearing his confused mind a little.

He carried his cola and sat down at a spot not too far from Toriumi Riki, quietly watching her eat.

Toriumi Riki seemed completely absorbed in eating and was oblivious to Gensei's arrival.

She skillfully peeled open a piece of fried chicken, revealing the tender and juicy meat inside, and then took a big bite! Half a piece of chicken was gone!

Next up were the egg tarts; I grabbed a handful and devoured them instantly!

Her cheeks are puffed up like a hamster's again.

Yuan Qing watched her silently. In just five minutes, Toriumi Riki had devoured half of the mountain of food.

He finally couldn't help but sigh softly, and exclaimed in a tone full of admiration:

"Tori Umi, you really are a complete glutton."

Toriumi Riki paused in her chewing, then subconsciously stuffed two mouthfuls into her mouth before turning her head to look at him, as if afraid that the other person would stop her from eating.

Upon seeing that it was Yuan Qing, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, finished swallowing her food, and then spoke with a resentful tone:

"Seriously, don't scare me. I thought the logistics captain was coming to kick me out."

Yuan Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips: "What's with this 'I'm not afraid of boiling water' reaction? Can't you at least show some embarrassment at being found out you're a good-for-nothing?"

"What's so embarrassing about it? You've seen me in much more embarrassing situations, so it doesn't matter."

"...Awesome."

Really awesome.

This powerful mindset of letting go and completely freeing herself after seeing things clearly shows that she has truly figured out how to live this messed-up life.

"Didn't the guild leader summon A-rank magical girls to raid the dungeon? You didn't go?"

"I signed up, but she told me to go somewhere cool and stay there."
