Chapter 58 First Meeting
"Squeak—"
The dormitory door was pushed open from the outside.
A pair of fluffy fox ears peeked in from outside the door, followed by a pair of bright fox eyes and a small face.
The petite golden fox slipped inside, gave a thumbs-up to the girl, Meteor, outside, and gently closed the door.
The room was surprisingly clean.
The walls were covered with posters of hyacinth merchandise, as well as posters of other well-known magical girl groups from other cities.
There was even a brand new poster of an iris.
The poster depicts a pure white, elegant magical girl unleashing a powerful magic cannon shot at a giant monster in front of a Ferris wheel.
Looking at the magnificent and dazzling scene, Su Tianqing said softly:
"Is that the latest limited edition poster for Iris? It's quite rare."
"..."
At the desk not far away, the girl turned her head and looked at the stranger admiring the iris poster by the door with a curious gaze.
"Hello~ Mu Yao, my name is Su Tianqing, and I came here specifically to visit you."
no answer.
The girl silently looked Su Tianqing up and down. Although she was a little timid, she still silently picked up the watermark drawing board in front of her.
【Hello】
These two words were written on the drawing board.
Surprisingly, they're easy to communicate with. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Before entering, I always thought that what I would be greeted by after opening the door was a huge pile of messy garbage, or a bucket of water crashing down from the door frame.
I never expected her to be such a quiet girl.
As expected, the chosen magical girl characters are all very gentle and kind children!
"May I sit here?" The golden fox pointed with the tip of its tail at the chair next to the girl.
The other person nodded silently and moved their seat a step further.
Seeing the small, golden fox beside her, the girl looked at it curiously for a few more moments, but then shrank back intimidated by its bright gaze.
Su Tianqing looked at the table.
Two workbooks and textbooks were placed on the edge of the table. In front of the girl was a picture book with curled edges, depicting a petite magical girl with red hair.
"【Red Snow】".
"...!"
Upon hearing the golden-haired fox beside her utter the code name of the magical girl from the picture book, the girl's eyes widened, casting an incredulous gaze.
The little fox smiled charmingly.
"One of the magical girls who was active in Chengdu more than a decade ago, she defeated countless monsters and saved many people along with her companion Albatross."
"This art book must be a limited edition item from when she retired from the military."
“…………”
The girl slightly parted her lips, then pursed them, nodded gently, brushed away the greeting on the drawing board, and wrote a line:
"Big sister, do you like magical girls too?"
"I love it! Of course I love it! My favorite characters are magical girls!"
Su Tianqing answered without hesitation, grinning.
These are the very words from the bottom of my heart, without a trace of pretense, at most omitting the words "nitpicking" at the end.
The girl hesitated for a moment, wrote a few words and then quickly erased them, as if she was thinking about how to continue the conversation.
Su Tianqing wasn't in a hurry. She waited politely while quietly observing the other items on the table.
Besides an old picture book, there were also some new picture paper stamps printed with sky-blue magical girl hyacinths.
But compared to the collection cabinet of merchandise in Nan Xiaofeng's home... the merchandise on Lin Muyao's desk looked rather cheap.
"Who is your favorite magical girl, sister?"
This line of text was written on the drawing board.
The mute girl turned her head curiously to look at her. Su Tianqing glanced at the words on the drawing board, smiled, took the pen, and added a few words below.
"I like them all!"
"Little Muyao, which magical girl do you like the most?"
The golden fox handed the pen to Lin Muyao beside her, her eyes filled with anticipation.
This child is actually quite easy to get along with, Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Although he has aphasia, his mental state is quite good, and he communicates without any stumbling or hesitation.
If I had to point out something that wasn't quite right... it would be that communicating by hand using a drawing board is indeed a bit slow.
Su Tianqing quietly observed the girl beside her.
She was wearing a simple loungewear dress, her features were delicate, and perhaps because she had been indoors for a long time, her skin appeared even fairer.
This child is quite cute. I wonder what she'll be like as a magical girl?
Could she be prettier than Miss Iris?
The villainous fox narrowed his eyes, a barely perceptible smile flashing in them.
A line of text soon appeared on Lin Muyao's drawing board.
"Actually, my favorite magical girl is..."
"Heart Moon Fox"
……ah?
Upon seeing an unexpected name, Su Tianqing was stunned for a moment.
Who?
Heart Moon Fox?
This fox?
Su Tianqing didn't know how to answer for a moment. She held the drawing board and thought for a few seconds before deciding to ask again.
"Xin Yuehu claims to be a villainous magical girl, even so, Mu Yao, do you like her?"
The girl nodded vigorously.
"So... what aspect of Xin Yuehu do you find most attractive?"
"She's cute, and her livestreams are really fun."
The words on the drawing board left Su Tianqing speechless.
You've got a bright future, kid! This fox may not be good at much else, but when it comes to cuteness, I'm off the charts!
"And even though she calls herself a villain, she has never hurt anyone."
"I see... So, Mu Yao, you like that little fox?"
Lin Muyao nodded affirmatively again.
"So, Mu Yao, do you think Xin Yuehu is a good person or a bad person?"
"Although everyone says she's not a good person, I don't think she's a bad person."
"Hmm~ It seems you and I have similar thoughts!"
Looking at the words on the drawing board, Su Tianqing smiled charmingly, in a great mood.
The chat lasted for more than an hour.
Lin Muyao's silent chuckle made Su Tianqing feel happy, and the conversation was also very harmonious.
Seeing that it was almost time, the teacher, Liuxing, who was waiting outside the door, knocked and came in. The two knew that their conversation was probably over for the day.
"Sister, I have to go back to school tonight, let's play together another time."
Bye-bye~
The girl nodded obediently and waved, her eyes filled with reluctance.
The golden fox wagged its tail to bid farewell to the silent girl at the table and gently closed the door.
After a soft click, the two people outside the door almost simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Thank you, Miss Tianqing. That child likes you quite a bit."
"If it can help her, that would be great," Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
"Mu Yao is a very gentle child. Despite what she has been through, she has never shown any signs of being irritable, which is what worries me."
"I didn't expect that she could start chatting with you so easily, Miss Tianqing."
"Perhaps it's because this fox is so cute"—Su Tianqing really wanted to answer that way, but she chose a more polite response instead:
"Maybe it's because... we both really like magical girls, so we have something in common to talk about."
"I see..."
Meteor fell into thought.
But soon, she smiled and nodded, saying softly:
"I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time today. I'll discuss your proposal at the next school council meeting; it should pass easily."
"Really? Thank you so much!"
After saying goodbye to Principal Meteor, whom she had met by chance, Su Tianqing walked out of the school gate of the association's affiliated middle school with a beaming smile.
I had a very fruitful day!
Not only did he meet Lin Muyao as planned, but he also unexpectedly learned that she was actually a fan of his!
It seems my charm is undeniable.
The little fox puffed out its flat chest.
So, what's the next task...?
[Mission: The Secret of Our Companion]
[Hellcat's magic is depleted, preventing her from taking any drastic actions to replenish it.]
Hmm... Should I stop the cat from replenishing her magic in such an extreme way...?
As she walked towards the subway station, Su Tianqing pondered deeply.
So here's the question.
What kind of magical replenishment method could be classified as "excessive" by the secret manual?
