Chapter 318 Decadence
As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight quietly peeked into the living room.
Violet emerged from her room, followed by the other members of the Kikyo Judgment Team, their eyes still heavy with sleep. "Good morning, Violet-neechan." "Yes, good morning."
Violet nodded.
Today's breakfast was quite substantial, showing that Zheng Zhaoxue and Bai Youqing had put in a lot of effort.
During breakfast, Zheng Zhaoxue was more like a food-picking robot, constantly piling delicious food into Violet's bowl.
"Sister Violet, this is delicious, try this."
"Sister Violet, drink some milk. They say you are what you eat, so you should have some too."
At the dinner table, Xia Qing gritted her teeth as she watched this scene. She turned her head, ready to retaliate against Bai Youqing, but found that Bai Youqing was unusually devoted to her today.
Focusing intently on the food in their own bowl, unaffected by external factors.
You should know that in the past, the other party had always watched Violet Sister eat, and was a strong contender to compete with her for Violet Sister's affections.
Things have changed now.
After breakfast, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team escorted the Osmanthus Mage to the subway station entrance. Although the Osmanthus Judgment Team had defeated their Kikyo Judgment Team, dropping them from third to tenth place, the opposing team had been very serious about training them these past few days, without holding back just because they were from another team.
Putting themselves in each other's shoes, the Kikyo Judgment Team has a pretty good impression of Osmanthus Magician Zheng Zhaoxue.
Before parting, Zheng Zhaoxue looked at the Violet Mage:
"Sister Violet, your current score is extremely dangerous. Forget about being an S-rank Judgment Team, even an A-rank team is in jeopardy. You might end up only a B-rank Judgment Team. How about we play one more round?"
The Violet Mage shook her head. "No need. The captain of the Narcissus Judgment Squad still owes me a favor. I'm planning to take the Kikyo Judgment Squad to fight them."
Zheng Zhaoxue: "
2
"Hmph, you filthy pig's trotter, just how many magical girls have you been keeping around outside?!"
At this moment, Osmanthus Magician Zheng Zhaoxue's words seemed to express the sentiments of the Kikyo Judgment Team, and they nodded in deep agreement.
Violet simply smiled and remained silent.
As they watched the Osmanthus Mage leave, the phones of the Kikyo Judgment Team suddenly vibrated, including Violet's. She took out her phone and found that it was a message in the CCSA group chat; the Kikyo Mage had suddenly popped up.
Kikyo the Magician: "Guess whose cuteness this is?"
Then a photo was sent, showing the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team standing at the subway station entrance, each holding a cup of milk tea.
The pine tree, resembling a pine cone, looks incredibly cute.
As soon as the photo was posted, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad all looked behind them and saw a beautiful magical girl standing behind them with a smile.
"Kikyo-senpai!"
"Sister Kikyo, you're back!"
The members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad were overjoyed at the return of Kikyo the Magician. Amane also forced a smile. She looked at Kikyo the Magician and clearly saw a playful and teasing smile in the latter's golden eyes.
"I've given you a month, and you still haven't managed to sneak into our base! No, you little rascal!" Seeing the familiar figure of Kikyo, the magician, Violet breathed a sigh of relief. Kikyo was back; she could now confidently entrust the Kikyo Judgment Squad to her.
Thinking about the future, when Kikyo the Magician and her Kikyo Judgment Squad come after her, Violet felt a mix of amusement and sadness. But after dealing with things in Yeqiu City, she probably wouldn't stay here anymore, which would be better for everyone.
"Miss Violet, why do you look so sad? What's wrong? Are you very upset because you saw me come back?"
Kikyo, the magician, walked to the side of Kikyo's Judgment Team and noticed that Violet's expression was a little strange, so she smiled and teased her.
"I'm not sad, I'm angry and furious. In all my years as a magical girl, I've never seen a captain of a Judgment Squad abandon their squad and disappear for a whole month. This behavior is simply outrageous!"
Violet hugged herself tightly, her cheeks puffed out, and her lips pressed into a thin line, looking as if she were very angry.
Kikyo the Magician didn't argue, and just smiled at Violet the Magician.
After a long pause, she slowly smiled and said, "Then, Miss Violet, what do you think is the proper way to punish this behavior?"
Violet was about to say something when she suddenly remembered that she was the one who started this whole mess in the first place, and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort:
"We'll let it go this time, but this kind of behavior will absolutely not be allowed next time."
"Oh, thank you very much, Miss Violet, for your generosity."
Kikyo, the magician, smiled slightly as she looked at Violet's aggressive and accusatory demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
It's definitely the same familiar feeling. I wonder what kind of expression Teacher Xiaobai will have when he finds out his identity after the competition?
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
The members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad around them found the conversation between Kikyo and Violet particularly interesting. Before Kikyo returned, when Violet was with them, Kikyo's emotions were very calm, as if no one could sway her.
The Sunflower Magician, the Dandelion Magician, and later the Osmanthus Magician, all seemed to be of a lower seniority in front of Violet Sister. When they talked, Violet Sister's aura was noticeably more imposing.
However, after Kikyo returned, this feeling changed visibly. It seemed that Violet Mage's aura was immediately suppressed by Kikyo Mage, and it was even possible to vaguely see that the two had a kind of bickering relationship.
They have such a strong sense of being a couple!!!
If someone else were to come and steal Violet Mage, Xia Qing would be in "Operation Protect Violet," but if it were Kikyo Mage, it would be a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
As the saying goes, it's better to benefit one's own people than outsiders.
The gentle and considerate older sister magician Kikyo, and the seemingly cold but warm-hearted little loli magician Violet, hehehe!
This feeling is very good, at least that's what Xia Qing thinks.
On the other side, Bai Youqing watched as the magician Kikyo teased Violet, and she saw it all. She felt a little anxious and angry, but she wasn't jealous.
Instead, she felt that her brother should marry Hoshino Seri right now, otherwise her brother's charm was too great and he would easily attract other girls.
This month, she has witnessed firsthand the power of violets to attract bees and butterflies.
At the same time, this was also out of a strange sense of compensation; she felt a deep disgust for last night's dream and for her own despicable self.
Her brother treated her so well, yet she fantasized about such things in her dreams. What difference is there between her behavior and that of an animal? She's even worse than an animal!
She might not even realize it herself.
Unbeknownst to her, seeing her brother being harassed by others, she felt a strange sense of pleasure.
With the return of the Kikyo Mage to Yeqiu City, Violet no longer needed to worry about many things, such as the Kikyo Judgment Team's points. Despite how urgent the Osmanthus Mage's parting instructions seemed, the Kikyo Judgment Team only needed to win one more match to essentially stabilize themselves as an A-rank Judgment Team.
She no longer wanted to join the S-rank Judgment Team. The Kikyo Judgment Team had excellent talent and was almost certain to become the next S-rank Judgment Team.
The magical girl idol café is a place where the Kikyo Judgment Squad members, after learning that the café belongs to the Violet family, start going there every day. What difference does it make where they drink coffee?
Not only can you get discounts here, but sometimes you can also enjoy services from Sister Violet.
For example, now that she has learned that Violet is the manager of this coffee shop, Kikyo the Magician specially ordered a special edition coffee that Violet would make, money is not an issue.
If you can make money, you're a bastard.
She got angry, especially every time she saw Kikyo's gentle, smiling eyes.
Once inside the backstage area, Violet obviously wouldn't make coffee lattes, but the waitress here would. She only needs to handle the last few steps, such as filling the cup and putting on the spoon. You tell me, isn't that what she did?
While the waiter was making her coffee, Violet's gaze quietly swept around the coffee shop. The assistant manager was gone, replaced by another woman. But from the aura she exuded and the fact that she dared not approach Kikyo the Magician, it was clear that she was most likely Chesia, and not of a high rank.
After placing the fake cup of coffee in front of the Kikyo Judgment Squad, the Violet Mage said a few words to the Kikyo Mage, and then silently left the squad amidst the puzzled gazes of the Kikyo Judgment Squad members.
"Oh no, why did Sister Violet leave?"
"this...
The members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad glanced back and forth between Kikyo the Magician and the departing Violet, some of them hesitant to speak.
Is the conflict between Kikyo the Magician and Violet really that deep?
At this moment, Kikyo's expression also became somewhat complicated. Although she still had a smile on her face, the smile in her eyes slowly disappeared.
Among the crowd, only Tianyin's smile reappeared, clearly saying:
You're no good either. The moment you came back, the Violet Mage saw you like a monster, running away as fast as she could, even faster than me. Then the Kikyo Mage glanced back at her, and the latter immediately lowered her head.
Watching Violet's departing figure, a hint of doubt flashed through Kikyo's mind. She could clearly sense that Violet's feelings towards her were no longer as distant as before.
But the other party left directly without even attending the most basic gathering, as if something was very urgent.
Forget it, even between husband and wife, Ling needs to give her partner enough private space, especially since their relationship on the surface is just that of Captain and Captain Spoon.
Let's ask them again after they've both revealed their identities to each other.
On the street, Violet left the Kikyo Judgment Squad's gathering, not because she had any issues with Kikyo the Magician, but because she still had many things to do.
The time spent in Qiaotian can be both long and short.
When Chuang Baiyuze arrived at the nursing home in Yeqiu City, the sun was shining brightly.
Grandma Tan was sewing clothes under the sun, while several children squatted beside her, playing in the sand. They first piled up the sand, then hollowed out the middle, and then dug holes from all sides, having a great time.
Not long after Bai Yuze spoke with Peng Cheng last time, the children from Wen Yue Chou Yuan moved in.
Currently, things are relatively normal.
"Teacher Xiaobai is here."
"I haven't seen Mr. Bai for a few days, and he's gotten even more handsome!"
When Bai Yuze came in, several elderly women who were sunbathing looked over and their mouths lit up with smiles.
"Haha, Grandma Yang, your praise makes me a little embarrassed today."
"Speaking of which, why didn't you come with Hoshino? Did you two break up? That doesn't seem right, you two looked quite compatible!"
"Hmm? Does that mean my granddaughter has a chance?"
"Go away, this has nothing to do with your granddaughter."
"No, no, Seri had some things to take care of this month and went to Tianjing, so I came alone." Bai Yuze smiled, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, noticing that one or two familiar figures seemed to be missing.
"Wait, where is Uncle Wang?"
"this."
The elderly women exchanged glances, and finally, Grandma Tan sighed, "You're just being nosy. Although Old Man Yu had an eccentric personality, he still had friends, and Uncle Wang was his chess partner. The two of them would often play for a whole afternoon. But since Old Man Yu passed away, Uncle Wang has had no playmate. We old women don't know how to play chess, and over time, Uncle Wang also passed away. The doctor who came said that he died of heart disease, but if you ask me, it's because he had no playmate. When Old Man Yu was alive, he was lively and energetic, and didn't look sick at all."
"How can I not be nosy about this?"
"It was during the crucial time of the college entrance exam, how could we possibly bother you?" Grandma Tan smiled. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Let's talk about something happy. When are you and that man getting married? We old women don't have any big ambitions in this life, but we still want to see you get married."
Upon hearing Grandma Tan's words, Cheng's grandmother instantly beamed with joy, and the children nearby joined in the commotion, saying, "We want little brothers and sisters too! Little White Brother, hurry up and get the dolls with Sister Hoshino!"
Bai Yuzhe paused for a moment upon hearing their words, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
Bai Yuzhe spent the morning at the nursing home, giving massages and chatting with each of the elderly women, making them all laugh. He also bought various snacks and toys for the children at the nursing home, increasing the children's affection for him.
Just as Bai Yuzhe was about to leave, Grandma Tan quietly stopped him, looking at him with her cloudy eyes: "Xiao Bai, tell me, has something happened recently? I feel like something's off about you today, you seem a bit old."
Bai Yuze smiled and shook his head. "No, everything is normal."
"Tell me honestly, did Hoshino Seri's relatives tell you that you need to buy a car and perform for the wedding, and you didn't have enough money?"
No, no.
Bai Yuze quickly shook his head, "Hoshino Seri has never told me any of this. Even if she did, I have my own money, so there's nothing to worry about."
"That's good, that's good. I wonder what's wrong with society these days. Back in our day, a ring made of wild grass was enough to make a living, but now people want all sorts of things. Oh well, maybe it's just a change of times."
Grandma Tan seemed to be thinking of her youth, and a nostalgic smile appeared on her lips.
