Chapter 116 This is also a kind of fox
That concludes today's lesson. get out of class dismissed.
Evening, Chengdu Third College of Arts and Sciences.
As soon as the bell rang and the professor uttered those words, the students immediately stirred.
Nan Xiaofeng sat up straight, stretched, and, having no interest in chasing the professor to the podium to ask him questions, turned her attention to Hua Ling beside her.
The girl was quietly writing the last line of her notes when she caught Nan Xiaofeng's gaze out of the corner of her eye and tilted her head to look over.
"Xiao Feng? What's wrong?"
"...It's nothing, I just think you're very attentive in class, Hana Rin," Nan Xiaofeng said honestly.
My life seems to have returned to its ordinary, mundane routine.
During the day, I attend classes, and in the evenings or on weekends, I go for special training with Hua Ling and the others, while also dealing with the astral monsters in Rongcheng.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen Xin Yuehu and the others for several days.
I should feel fortunate, but what's causing this inexplicable irritation in my heart?
and……
The thought of a new stargazer arriving in Rongcheng and developing a new magical girl filled Nan Xiaofeng with an even stranger unease.
He knew nothing about the stargazer's personality or who the magical girl he was going to develop was.
Furthermore, I recently revealed to Sister Tianqing that I am Hyacinth. Although Sister Tianqing has kept it a secret, what if my teammates still don't know...?
Sure enough, I'll have to find an opportunity to be honest with my companions.
Thinking this, and seeing that most of the students had already left, Nan Xiaofeng leaned closer to Hua Ling and whispered:
"Hualin, are you free tonight?"
"Tonight?...Yes, there is, but didn't we already agree to go..."
Hua Ling was a little curious.
Tonight's plan is for the magical girl squad to have a training session together, which will be a good opportunity to improve their teamwork.
But Xiao Feng looks like this...
"I have an idea. Karin, if you're free tonight, why don't you stay at my place? I'd like to talk to you about something."
"Shall we talk about something?"
Hua Ling became even more curious.
Is there something I can't say now? Is it something very important? The girl wondered to herself.
Xiao Feng had never talked about this so seriously before, so it seems that this matter is indeed quite important to her.
"Okay, I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll go to your place, Xiaofeng." Hualing agreed with a smile.
Nan Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
It was definitely the right decision to ask Hana Rin for help; she's always a reliable companion.
The conversation shifted to what to eat for dinner, which made things much more relaxed.
But as soon as the two stepped out of the classroom, a small golden fox floating in the air not far away immediately caught their attention.
Hua Ling thought she must be seeing things; how could she possibly be having such an illusion as seeing a little fox flying in mid-air?
But when Nan Xiaofeng also cast a puzzled look in that direction, Hua Ling realized something—
"(Looking around)"
The golden fox had its back to this side, holding a piece of something that was either a divine stone or some kind of magic in its hand. It was glowing faintly and carefully observing each student who passed by it, as if it were comparing something.
It wasn't until the little fox turned around in distress and met the eyes of the two that both of them froze in place.
“…………”
“…”
The little fox looked back at its back, then at Hua Ling and Nan Xiaofeng, its eyes immediately lighting up, and it hurriedly flew over.
"Hello! Can you two see me?!"
"..."
Hua Ling didn't dare to answer.
There were a few students around, and in their eyes, he was talking to thin air and would be seen as a weirdo in another sense.
The two exchanged a glance and responded with a silent nod.
The little fox seemed to sense that Hua Ling and her companion were in a difficult position. It looked around, then immediately flew off in one direction, saying to the two behind it:
"There are too many people around, let's find somewhere else to talk!"
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person~"
After saying that, the little fox winked at the two of them, and those bright and cheerful fox eyes reminded them of a certain energetic angel fox.
.
In a corner of the teaching building, in an art classroom.
The students had all left, and since the art classroom was rarely visited, it became an excellent place for the two sides to discuss the issue.
"Hello everyone! I was in such a rush that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yue Tianxin, and I'm a stargazer from the Star Realm! Just call me Xiaoyue~"
"Since you two can see me, it means you both have the potential to become magical girls!"
"You know magical girls, right? They can freely use magic to defeat monsters, just like hyacinths and irises—super awesome~"
The golden fox immediately began reciting its lines, while also winking at the two of them vigorously.
Hua Ling and Nan Xiaofeng exchanged a glance.
"This sales pitch sounds so familiar," Nan Xiaofeng thought to himself.
Bai Ling used the same line when she transformed herself into a magical girl, except that the hyacinths were replaced with osmanthus and wheat ears.
"...Hmm? Why isn't there any response?"
Seeing the two of them looking calm, the little fox seemed to have been caught off guard and muttered to itself while rubbing its chin.
"Wait a minute, the senior said that as long as I finish reciting this line, I'll happily agree, and then I can just give myself a Guardian Star..."
"Hmm... Could it be that you two still have some concerns?"
"The Hero Association is fully responsible for the magical girls' salaries and retirement arrangements. It's a perfectly legitimate, high-paying job, so you can rest assured!"
"Furthermore, upon retirement, a lifetime pension will be provided based on the mission performed, along with comprehensive medical insurance benefits, plus—"
Before he could finish speaking, Nan Xiaofeng sighed, interrupting the golden-haired fox.
Then he took out his guardian star from his pocket.
The golden fox froze, staring blankly at the golden cross in Nan Xiaofeng's hand, then at the cross in Hua Ling's hand.
"Huh? Guardian Stars?... You two, why... Huh?... "
The Fox Stargazer rambled on incoherently for a while, seemingly before finally accepting reality.
"Could it be...could it be that you two...you are the magical girls of Rongcheng!?"
"Yes," Nan Xiaofeng replied immediately.
"Yes...yes..." Karin said timidly, a little embarrassed.
"I messed up! Aaaaaaaah!"
The little fox's mournful cry seemed to echo throughout the entire teaching building.
...
Later, at the magical girl training ground.
The little fox sat on a cardboard box not far away, munching on a cookie as it spoke to the three people in front of it:
"So, you're the Hyacinth Squad?"
"Yes, that's right."
Nan Xiaofeng nodded in response.
"I am a hyacinth, this is an iris, and this is a nightingale."
"Hello, Miss Nightingale! Miss Iris!"
The stargazer, who identified himself as Xiaoyue, waved and greeted the two.
"My name is Yue Tianxin, you can call me Xiaoyue. I'm a new stargazer from the Star Realm, and I'll be working with Senior Bai Ling from now on. If any of you three have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime~"
After saying that, the fox spirit made a peace sign and flashed it at the three of them, almost triggering their fox-attracting monster nature.
"You three are going to have special training today, right? Well then, I won't disturb you any longer. I still need to go and find a magical girl."
"Bye-bye~ I'll come visit you guys often from now on~"
After saying this, the fox spirit wagged its tail and bid farewell to the three of them. Then, it activated the Astral Teleportation spell and disappeared into the air.
Watching the little golden fox disappear from sight, the three slowly lowered their hands and exchanged glances.
Why does Bai Ling suddenly seem less appealing?
