Is it only magical girls?

"You decide. Then I'll treat you to bubble tea."

"That's not bad."

Yuanxing readily agreed.

Chapter 8 You're amazing, the way you do things...

The magical girl in the special attack suit is named Momo Sakura. Peach blossoms are beautiful, cherry blossoms are beautiful. Just hearing the name Momo Sakura makes you think of peach and cherry blossom forests covering the mountains and fields. It is a name that evokes a poetic and picturesque scene.

But Momo Sakura herself...

"Hahahaha!" Tao Ying laughed heartily at Yuan Xing's astonished expression. "How about it? Want to form a club with me? Don't rush to refuse, think it over carefully!"

But Yuanxing didn't feel she needed to think about it. Although her dream had always been to become a magical girl, upon closer reflection, that dream was actually about becoming magical girls together with her senior. If she were alone, becoming a magical girl or not would be meaningless.

"I have a childhood friend who is a melee-type magical girl, so..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a recovery type."

Um? Um? !

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Yuanxing's dazed look, Taoying put her arm around her shoulder and patted her a few times: "Surprised? How about we add each other's numbers?"

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Tao Ying, Yuan Xing boarded a bus, still unable to let go of her feelings on the way.

Why is it a recovery type?

A magical girl who can go head-to-head with a medium-sized monster is actually a healing type?! She didn't even think that Momo was a melee type. Melee types rely on speed to dodge monster attacks. Someone like Momo who goes head-to-head should be a defensive type.

Why is it a recovery type?!

Before going home, she deliberately got off the elevator early and went to Qianchan's house on the lower floor to explore, confirming that Qianchan had not gone home last night either.

Where did my senior go?

Yuanxing tilted her head: "I haven't seen her work any part-time jobs, so she probably doesn't have much money, right? So where does she live, and who pays for her accommodation? She can't be renting a place, can she? Or is she actually living at a friend's house?"

Does the senior have any close friends who can provide her with accommodation? (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

Yes, of course there is, and that is me, his childhood friend.

Apart from that...

So, it means the relationship isn't that close, but rather with an older person of the same sex, like a relative or teacher? But relatives or teachers probably wouldn't let the senior student disappear to the point of not even going to school. In other words, the person who takes her in must be both close and distant—close because the senior student trusts them, and distant because they won't interfere with her daily life.

Yuanxing thought about it for a while, but realized he couldn't think of anyone like that, so he gave up and returned home.

·-/about-/ripple-/first*-release

The next day, Yuanxing went to school as usual. When she arrived at the classroom door, she found a group of people standing there. Looking at their faces, she felt that she had seen them before, but she also felt that she hadn't.

As Yuanxing looked at them, those people also noticed her and immediately surrounded her, handing her a large pile of beautifully wrapped gifts.

In that instant, Yuanxing understood that these people were her senior's classmates. Her senior hadn't been to school for several days, and these upperclassmen had come to give her gifts as a gesture of goodwill.

"We heard from our teacher that Qianchan is sick, so we prepared some gifts to comfort her. We originally wanted to visit her at her house, but we thought it wouldn't be good to disturb her, so we're giving the gifts to Yuanxing. We'd like you to pass them on to her."

What could Yuanxing say at this point? What could she say? Of course, she would nod, indicating that everything was fine.

But Yuanxing had another question in her mind: who asked for leave on her behalf? And what was the reason for the leave? If she asked directly now, she would definitely be suspected, and she had no reason not to know the reason why Qianchan asked for leave. So her best course of action was to ask the homeroom teacher of the senior's class. There was no need to hide the fact that Qianchan was missing from the homeroom teacher.

After putting the gift away, Yuanxing immediately ran to the teachers' office, heading straight for Qianchan's homeroom teacher. This teacher had only recently graduated and was the type who was easy to bully—no, the type who was very easy to talk to. Seeing Yuanxing approach, she even took a coffee candy out of her pocket and offered it to her.

Here, have a piece of candy.

"Thank you, teacher."

Miss Yuanxing took the candy without any hesitation and put it in her mouth. She then tugged at the teacher's sleeve and said, "Teacher, may I speak to you in private?"

"can!"

The teacher's eyes lit up, and his mind was already playing out dozens of epic teacher dramas as he walked out of the office.

Yuanxing asked, "Teacher, it seems that Senior Sister Qianchan has taken leave. Do you know why?"

"Oh, is that it?"

The teacher was frustrated: "Her guardian called to say that she has broken her leg and needs to rest at home for a while. It is estimated that she will not be able to come to school this semester."

"After such a long break, the identity of the guardian must have been confirmed, right?"

The teacher said, "Of course, the guardian came to the school in person and brought Qianchan's leave request video. I even spoke with Qianchan myself."

Yuanxing's expression turned serious. Things had gone against her expectations. Could it be a kidnapping? No, her senior had personally said she wanted to disband the club, so it meant the club was disbanded first and then she was kidnapped.

The shirt is lacquered II (two) silk (four) Yue/Yi "Is she at home in the video?"

"of course."

"But I break into her house every day, and there's never anyone home!" Yuanxing asked. "Teacher, what do you think—"

The teacher raised her hand to cover Yuanxing's mouth: "Don't speak, let me have some peace and quiet."

After a couple of seconds, she asked, "If Qianchan wasn't home, how did you get in?"

"I broke the glass to get in."

The teacher gave a thumbs up: "Great, you're amazing. Is this how you do things? You're incredible. You're the first magical girl I've ever seen do things this way."

Yuanxing continued, "Teacher, my senior has gone missing! If what you're saying is true, she might have been kidnapped!"

"How do you know it's a missing person case? Couldn't it be that she's on a mission for Sister Hong Shi?"

Yuanxing sensed something was amiss. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the teacher as if he were some kind of treasure.

"Don't look at me like that. To be honest, I used to be a magical girl too. But I graduated and now I teach here. My main job is to give extra tutoring to magical girls who are going to have to repeat a year because of their poor grades, and to give them extra credits. Besides that, I also help magical girls get leave so they can run off to deal with monsters during class."

"It was Sister Hongshi who approved Qianchan's leave, so you can just ask her if you have any questions."

"Teacher, you..."

Yuanxing didn't know how to continue. She knew what she wanted to say, but she wasn't sure how to phrase it.

But the teacher spoke even faster: "Anyway, you're going to keep asking me sooner or later, and you won't give up until you get to the bottom of everything. I used to be a magical girl, so I know very well what kind of perseverance magical girls have. I'm too old now, and I don't have that kind of tenacity anymore. I don't think I'm a match for you, and you'll get the answers from me sooner or later, so I might as well tell you sooner rather than later, so that I don't torment you and me."

"Seriously, back then I always shouldered my own burdens. Now, magical girls always want to ask for help when something happens. Don't they have that rebellious spirit of not needing your help? They're full of crooked ways. Don't rely on others' strength, rely on your own strength, that's what growth is all about."

This teacher is quite impressive for making the idea of ​​slacking off sound so elegant and refined.

Chapter 9 Jiu Ru, my childhood sweetheart, I will protect you, so you need not worry.

Target locked!

As soon as school was over, Yuanxing rushed straight to Momomo, her target naturally being Hongshi, who likely knew the truth but wasn't telling her. However, when Yuanxing arrived at Momomo, Hongshi wasn't at the familiar bar; instead, Miyu was there serving customers.

"Ran!"

Yuanxing then realized she had been too careless. She was very clingy, and Sister Hongshi was terrifying, so the teacher chose to be a double agent, informing on both sides. Informing on both sides was equivalent to not informing at all; this was the adult way beyond a young girl.

Yuanxing asked, "Where is Sister Hongshi?"

“She was called away by the other magical girls,” Miyu replied. “She also said that she didn’t know the answer to what you wanted to ask, Farstar, because the principle of the Magical Girls is to help without interfering.” Then Miyu asked, “What did Crimson Sister say? What do you want to ask her?”

"It's nothing. I just heard from the teacher that it was Sister Hongshi who helped the senior get leave, and I thought she knew something, so I rushed over as soon as school was over. But Miyou, you shouldn't get out of school earlier than me, right? How come you're at Momomo so early?"

Mi You chuckled, saying nothing, but simply made a victory sign.

Although Mi You didn't say it, Yuan Xing guessed that she had skipped school.

"Skipping school again? Don't let too many truancy sessions result in a zero on the final exam!"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. If necessary, I can even sneak into the school in the middle of the night to change the grades."

"For a high school student to say something like that, just thinking about it makes one realize that magical girls are different from the past. In the past, magical girls would work hard to pass the retake exams if they failed. Now, magical girls are all about crooked methods. It's called growing up if you solve problems on your own."

Mi You pointed inside the Demon Demon Demon and said to Yuan Xing, "Someone, see the guest out!"

"Who's here? You're the only one here, okay? Remember to contact me when Sister Hongshi comes back. I need her to help me with something."

Not long after Yuanxing went to the dojo, Qingyin came in. Seeing that it was Miyu behind the bar, she immediately sat down: "Miyu, I want to talk to you about club matters—"

Miyou interrupted, "Order first, then I'll talk to you."

"Then I..."

"Spring Drinks have high profit margins and give me a lot of bonuses. Then there's the Macaron Family Bucket, which also has high profit margins and gives me a lot of bonuses, plus I want to eat it."

“Oh…” Yue+Yiyi Lingqi 8 is Qi (^, four) six

Qingyin not only obediently ordered a spring drink and a macaron family bucket, but she also ordered a brown sugar coffee for herself. The spring drink sounded terrible, so Miyou should drink it by herself.

"Two cups?"

"I'd like to invite you to a spring drink."

"Good, good, good, Qingyin is so wonderful."

Miyou was very satisfied. She loved expensive food the most. It didn't matter how it tasted or looked. As long as the price was high, it must be the best.

"Regarding the club..."

"I've already rejoined."

"Eh?"

“Yuanxing said they would pay me a membership fee, and they would pay me a membership fee every month. It seems like a really good deal.”

"you···"

Qingyin couldn't catch her breath and pounded her chest repeatedly before she recovered: "You should have said that from the beginning!"

"Then there's no food left."

Miyu ate with great pleasure. While Qingyin needed to catch her breath after just one macaron, Miyu ate them with gusto, as if they were potato chips. The spring drink emitted a fragrance that Qingyin utterly loathed, a scent that made her want to run away at the mere sight of it. But Miyu ignored it completely, drinking it down like water.

Although the coffee and snacks weren't enough to satisfy her hunger, Miyu still spoke up: "You should be thanking me, you know. If I hadn't mentioned that Farstar gave me a membership fee, and instead received another membership fee from you, and then agreed not to mention it to anyone to avoid disrupting unity, then I could have received double, right?"

"You—"

Qingyin really didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh and repeat what she had said before: "You really are something else, I don't know what to say about you."

While Aon and Miyu were chatting, a new visitor arrived. At first, Aon didn't recognize the visitor, but the visitor walked straight towards her, sat down next to her, and allowed her to see the visitor's face clearly. This new guest was none other than Yoru, the magical girl in their magical girl club who was in charge of enemy detection.

The Ye Liu she remembered was a girl with long, jet-black hair, wearing a long dress, and a somewhat rigid, elegant style. But the girl in front of her now had ear-length black hair, tied in a short ponytail that reached her neck. Her attire was completely different from before; it was no longer classical but a pure black sleeveless shirt, paired with off-white denim shorts. Her hands were wrapped in several bandages, making her look completely unrecognizable from her previous appearance.

"Night Flow?!" Qingyin exclaimed in astonishment, "What is this?"

Ye Liu casually sat on a bar stool: "Although Qian Chan has left the club, in my heart the club has never disbanded, nor is there any reason for it to disband. So I think I should fill Qian Chan's vacancy. Yesterday, I specifically searched for information on all the magical girls in the past and found information on several magical girls who were proficient in both target acquisition and melee combat. I changed myself according to their methods, and I think it's okay. I can do it. I can protect Yuanxing in place of Qian Chan. The club doesn't need to disband, and there's no need to waste time looking for new members. The five of us can keep the club running."

Qingyin was stunned: "That's what you were thinking?! You haven't replied to my messages at all, I thought you were definitely going to quit the club!"

"Sorry, I was busy switching magic configurations and didn't notice."

Mi You laughed heartily: "This is really interesting, so very interesting! You want to replace Qian Chan? This is such a fun thing, something I never thought of before, hahahaha."

Ye Liu frowned: "What's so funny? I didn't say anything strange."

Qingyin turned her head: "Miyou, you wouldn't...?"

Just like I thought, right?!

I can protect Yuanxing in place of Qianchan.

This seemingly ordinary sentence, in Qingyin's mind, was understood, summarized, associated, reinterpreted, and finally concluded, transforming into a completely different sentence: I will protect your childhood sweetheart, so you need not worry.

Miyou's idea was almost identical to Qingyin's: "When the moon loses its star, the whole world chases after it!"

Ye Liu was completely baffled: "What kind of riddles are you two playing? Why are you acting like such close friends? What is it that makes you resonate with each other?"

Chapter 10: Ten Lessons on Respect

"call···"

Yuanxing finished practicing with the protective shield. She had mastered it quite well today and was confident she could withstand even the ranged attacks of large monsters. Small monsters were easy targets, medium-sized ones weren't too difficult, but large monsters were the real challenge. A guild couldn't survive without being able to fight large monsters. When Qianchan was around, they had only managed to hunt down a large monster once before the guild disbanded.

Ranged magical girls possess the strongest attack power and are the primary targets when facing large monsters. To prevent ranged magical girls from being targeted, melee and defensive magical girls are essential. However, to make room for Chichan, the club cannot include melee or defensive magical girls regardless of its structure, so Farstar must protect herself; therefore, practicing defensive magic is extremely important.

Just as Yuanxing finished her training and breathed a sigh of relief, applause came from behind her.

Yuanxing turned around abruptly and saw a girl with a great figure—no, a girl with short black hair—who looked just like Ye Liu in her memory, but Ye Liu didn't have such a good figure. No, Ye Liu should have been a stiff, serious, and imposing young lady from a wealthy family, dressed in thick clothes; this person in front of her was completely unrelated to her.

But considering that Qingyin was standing next to her, perhaps it was Yeliu? Or maybe Yeliu's twin sister or something?

Qingyin understood what she was thinking and spoke first: "This is Ye Liu."
