Is it only magical girls?

Yuanxing looked at the two figures in front of her. One of them was Hongshi. She looked exactly the same as she did back then. However, the Hongshi she saw now had countless expressions, including joy, gentleness, helplessness, and disdain. Just looking at her, one could feel her positive attitude and her longing and vitality for life.

The Crimson World in my memory had no expression; she was completely indifferent, as if she had no interest in anything in the world.

Faced with the sudden appearance of a large monster, she simply raised her hand indifferently and casually summoned a Valkyrie to deal with it. Because she is a magical girl, protecting humanity is simply part of her job.

But then Little Star excitedly exclaimed, "The magical girl saved me! What an amazing magical girl! I want to thank her!"

Receiving thanks is also part of the magical girl's work.

Hongshi raised his hand and called to Xiaoyuanxing: "Classmate, the person who just helped you—"

it's me.

Before Hongshi could finish speaking, Xiaoyuanxing turned and ran away, as if she hadn't even seen Hongshi beside her.

Magic is something that gives people hope, and receiving gratitude is an important part of a witch's job. If someone wants to express their gratitude, then you must give them the opportunity to do so.

So Hongshi chased after them.

Little Star, like lightning, dashed through the corridor as if no one else was there.

Kurenai walked slowly behind her, her steps as graceful as a lily swaying in the breeze. There was no particular reason for this; magical girls were meant to be glamorous, elegant, and adorable, so they had to maintain their composure at all times.

The price to pay for this is that Crimson World cannot catch up.

Little Yuanxing, running ahead, grabbed a teacher and began questioning the red-armored, white-feathered magical girl. Of course, no such magical girl existed in the world, so she received no answer. Undeterred, Little Yuanxing continued running, searching for the next person to ask, inquiring about the identity of the red-armored, white-feathered magical girl.

As Yuanxing stopped to ask her question, Hongshi slowly approached her. Anyone questioned by Yuanxing, regardless of whether they were a teacher, a guard, or someone of any other status, would immediately drop Yuanxing and consult Hongshi's opinion.

Little Star, unconcerned about the reason for being abandoned, immediately resumed his search for the magical girl with red armor and white feathers.

Crimson World, on the other hand, told those people that he was fine and then continued chasing the distant star.

Little Star was full of boundless energy, while Red World was endlessly patient. They chased each other for hours before Little Star finally gave up. Realizing that she couldn't find the Red-Armored, White-Feathered Magical Girl, Little Star slumped down on a bench in the playground.

Yay! We finally caught up!

After chasing for several hours, even the absolutely rational Hong Shi felt a different kind of emotion rising within him—a feeling of victory.

Hongshi walked over: "You—"

Before Hong Shi could speak, Xiao Yuanxing asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, senior?"

This question stunned Hong Shiwen, shattering her original words and turning them into another question: "Do you think I'm a primary school student?"

Yuanxing carefully examined Hongshi, then asked in confusion, "Isn't that right?"

Hongshi felt some emotion brewing within her, but she didn't know what it was, and it didn't affect her. She simply had a question: "You don't recognize me?"

"Is your older sister famous? Is she a magical girl? Do you know the magical girl with red armor and white feathers?"

"There is no such magical girl."

Crimson World felt a little strange; she should have said that it was a summoned creature she controlled, rather than saying that she didn't have such a magical girl.

Little Star got angry immediately and jumped up from the bench: "I saw it with my own eyes! I'm definitely going to find it!"

Watching Xiao Yuanxing run away, Hongshi didn't chase after her anymore. Instead, she sat on the bench and pondered what had just happened. Time flew by, and before long, Xiao Yuanxing returned, carrying two bottles of soda. She quickly ran over and handed one of the bottles to Hongshi, saying, "I was too mean to you just now. I'm sorry."

Hongshi took the cocoa milk from Xiaoyuanxing and thought it was a childlike drink that matched the impression Xiaoyuanxing gave her.

The cap on the cocoa milk bottle seemed a bit too tight; Little Star looked like he was having a lot of trouble twisting it.

Hong Shi asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No, no, I want to be a magical girl in the future. How can I be a magical girl if I can't even do something this simple?"

Little Star took a deep breath and used all her strength to unscrew the bottle cap. Although it was just a trivial thing, Star was very happy. She took a sip of cocoa milk and asked, "What's your name? What grade are you in? Let me tell you, I will definitely find the magical girl with red armor and white feathers. Leave me your contact information and I will tell you later."

Hong Shi retorted, "You really don't know who I am?"

Little Far Star shook his head vigorously.

"Distant Star!"

A voice suddenly came from that direction, and looking in that direction, you could see little Qianchan waving at the distant stars: "Time to go home!"

Xiao Yuanxing glanced over there, then looked at Hong Shi, and gritted her teeth: "Let's meet here tomorrow! Give me your contact information then!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuanxing skipped and hopped away.

Hong Shi was left alone, gazing at the sky. She finally understood the feelings in her heart: "Hey, that's how it is. He's just an ordinary person with nothing special about him."

Hong Shi laughed, initially a suppressed laugh, but it quickly turned into a wild, unrestrained laugh. Suddenly, the laughter stopped, leaving only Hong Shi looking up at the sky and muttering to himself: "I'm sorry, there are still many distortions in this world that I haven't been able to correct, but I've decided to stop caring about them. It's a pity that I'm the kind of person with weak abilities."

Chapter 156 Don't assume that secret relationships are airtight

As the images flashed by, Yuanxing's memories gradually returned, and she had completely remembered that incident.

She waited for a long time on the playground the next day!

"Master, you didn't come the next day!"

Hong Shi turned his head away from Yuan Xing: "When did I ever tell you I was going?"

"I've been waiting for you for so long! What if I, a primary school student, encounter danger and perish?"

“I didn’t expect things to escalate to this point. I thought it was just a chance encounter.” To avoid Farstar’s endless pursuit, Hongshi hurriedly said, “Anyway, that’s how it is. I originally wanted you to find it yourself, but times have changed, so I have to tell you everything. I just want to tell you that Farstar is a special being that brought me back to life, so it’s okay to be a little willful.”

"Then marry me."

Hong Shi felt a little out of touch. Even though she had considered that Yuan Xing might take advantage of her kindness, she hadn't expected him to skip the confession and go straight to the proposal. This was a bit too much.

Hong Shi shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, marriage is absolutely impossible."

Yuanxing lunged at Hongshi, hanging herself on her: "Why? Marry me! Master said it's okay to be a little willful, and I was only a little bit willful."

"I don't think this is just a little bit willful."

Crimson World struggled to break free from Farstar's entanglement, but Farstar used all her strength to press down on Crimson World, making it difficult to push Farstar away without mobilizing her magic.

"I don't care. Anyway, my master said I can be willful. If he doesn't marry me, I won't take back my wish and I'll let time keep looping."

"You brat!" (意漆) 哟嵘栮二肂

"My master said I can be a little willful!"

This kid is getting way too cocky!

Hong Shi felt she shouldn't argue with a child, so she took a step back and said, "Marriage is impossible, but agreeing to your extreme confession isn't out of the question."

"Okay, from today onwards, Master is my girlfriend!"

Yuanxing said that everything was going according to plan, because her master was the stubborn type. If she wanted her master to be unable to refuse, she would first talk about marriage, and then her master would naturally agree to date her.

Why is there suddenly no opposition? Why did Yuan Xiaoxing agree so readily?!

Hong Shi suddenly realized he'd been tricked; Yuan Xiaoxing's goal from the very beginning had been this! She'd agreed to let her confess three times—no, five times—before she'd agree! How could she have just gone along with the mood and agreed so easily? Did she not seem like the unapproachable type, but rather the easy-going type?!

The moment Hong Shi agreed, light burst forth from Yuan Xing's body, transforming into tiny golden snakes before him.

The golden serpent slowly floated towards the distant star, coiling around her neck: "Your wish, rather than wanting a time loop, is actually to become lovers with Crimson World. But I can't influence Crimson World, so I tempted you to choose to stop time. As long as time stops, humanity will fall into the tragedy of being turned into dolls, and even the current Crimson World will choose to act. At that time, I'm sure I can achieve my wish with my shamelessness."

"you···"

Yuanxing had a lot to say, things like wishes and temptations, but in the end it all boiled down to one sentence: "Who are you calling shameless!"

"I love how shameless I am when I push this snake!"

The golden snake danced wildly, affectionately nuzzling Yuanxing's cheek: "Did your wish come true?"

Yuanxing said, "It's hard to say, because Master might change his mind. If Master changes his mind, then it doesn't count as fulfilling the wish, right?"

Seeing the gazes directed at him by the Golden Serpent and the Distant Star, Hong Shi said, "If people find out that you're dating me, you'll be in big trouble. Not to mention, you might be targeted by the cult, which would be very dangerous."

"You see? Erjiuqi [Liujiu Doctor x Shaanxi Shuliu], can we make time loop again?"

“Okay,” the golden snake raised its head, “As long as we break up, even if the wish isn’t fulfilled, time will immediately fall into a cycle, snake!”

"I told you to be a little willful, but I didn't let you be this willful."

Yuanxing didn't care about any of that and threw herself into Hongshi's arms again, nudging his belly with her head: "Master, please forgive me. I'm not usually willful except for things like this, so this is the only thing I'm going to be willful about."

"Okay, okay, what I mean is that we can't tell anyone, it'll cause a lot of trouble if we do, so we have to keep it a secret, understand?"

Yuanxing suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling: "So it's a secret relationship?! Master, you're playing with such excitement! You're right, because it's a teacher-student relationship, it absolutely can't be known by anyone. To maintain the relationship, it can only be kept underground, which means it's a secret relationship!"

Hongshi didn't know why things had turned out this way, but Yuanxing seemed very happy, excited about their secret relationship.

Considering that a secret relationship is practically the same as keeping it under wraps, Hong Shi readily agreed: "That's pretty much the idea."

Yuanxing leaned closer again, pressing herself against Hongshi: "Master."

Yuanxing spoke in a high-pitched, affected voice, her words completely stuck together, so sweet it made Hongshi tremble. She forced herself to endure the discomfort and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to call out to see."

Her sweet voice remained unchanged, her clingy manner only intensified Hong Shi's shivers, until she could no longer endure it.

Hong Shi frowned and said, "Don't talk to me like that, or we'll break up."

"If I break up with you, I'll trap humanity in a cycle."

"Then I'll smash the whole Earth to pieces."

That's unnecessary. It's really scary. If we don't call it that, we don't call it that. What's the big deal? It's just for fun anyway.

Yuanxing's way of speaking returned to normal: "Master, really. I was just joking. If you didn't like it, I promise I won't talk like that except when I'm asking for a beating."

"I was just joking."

Hong Shi didn't investigate why Yuan Xing deliberately provoked a beating; after all, Yuan Xing was just a little kid, and provoking a beating was her way of expressing love.

"Let's go back."

"Ok!"

On their way back to MomoMo, Farstar and Crimson World had completely different feelings.

The time loop has been broken, and she should be happy, but Hong Shi is not happy at all. She feels that this development is different from her own self-perception. She thought she was an invincible type, but now it seems to be the complete opposite. She seems to be a pushover type. This is not right. This is completely wrong. It should not be like this at all.

Yuanxing was different. She was in a particularly good mood, feeling like she had never been in such a good mood before. Taking advantage of Hongshi's inattention, she gave her a hard kiss on the lips: "I'm giving you a kiss, Master, don't be angry."

Hong Shi smiled broadly, then realized this didn't fit his self-image, and immediately turned his smile into a fierce glare.

Yuanxing said that her master used to be stubborn, but now he's not even stubborn anymore, except for his eyes, which are still glaring at people, so she plans to kiss his eyes next time.

Chapter 157: The second and third ones don't matter.

Tonight's "MoMoMo" is a red bean feast: dorayaki filled with red bean paste, sweet soup made with red beans, bread sprinkled with sweet red beans, honey red beans sprinkled on shaved ice, and red bean jelly made with red bean powder. Every single dessert at "MoMoMo" is made of red beans, red beans, and more red beans.

This was all the work of the elven maids, who seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't know they had girlfriends, and they frantically used all sorts of red beans to hint at it.

However, because there were so many red beans, the magical girls didn't think much of it and instead thought that today was just a simple red bean feast.

However, those who are close to Yuanxing would not think that way. If they think about these red beans even slightly with Yuanxing in mind, they will have a different idea.

"So? Did Sister Hongshi agree?"

This is the most common problem that Farstar faces.

Every one of her companions present knew the whole story, and everyone knew that she was the one who stopped time, but no one cared. They only cared whether Sister Hongshi had agreed.

This tolerant attitude made Yuanxing, who was prepared to be scolded by Qi Yulin IV Jiuqi Umbrella, feel uneasy.

Because Yuanxing couldn't answer their questions—if she did, it wouldn't be a secret relationship anymore. But if she denied it outright, everyone would just think she wasn't telling the truth. So she had to give a half-truth to gloss over the situation.

Yuanxing said, "Sister Hongshi said she needs to consider it for a while, which means she'll have the opportunity in the future."

This explanation should be enough to get away with it!

Qianchan accepted it completely, and even breathed a sigh of relief: "This means I still have a chance to become number one in Yuanxing's heart." As she spoke, Qianchan took Yuanxing's hand and kissed it: "I will make you fall in love with me again."

huh huh?

Why talk like that?

Yuanxing blinked: "I feel like you used a little too much force, senior, so I can't feel anything anymore."

Qianchan's composed expression instantly crumbled, turning her face red with embarrassment. She felt ashamed of her earlier behavior, which was based on an image of an older woman she had found online. She had tried to imitate the mature older woman's approach to make her move, but had received overly harsh criticism.

Qingyin felt this was exactly what she wanted to see! Qianchan chose to further her studies to fight the powerful Hongshijie, intending to enhance her "sister" attribute and confront Hongshijie head-on. Unfortunately, while enhancing her "sister" attribute, she accidentally enhanced other attributes, resulting in a somewhat incongruous outcome. Qingyin didn't know what attribute Qianchan had enhanced; perhaps it was her "dullness" attribute.

Yuanxing was actually happy. She thought her senior was especially cute. She reached out and touched Qianchan's face: "I like you too, senior. You don't need to change anything. I like you as you were before."

Lingling chimed in from the side, "Although it's not my favorite."

So aggressive!
