The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 316 Chengdu, This Fox Chapter Has Arrived

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport.

A domestic flight landed, and passengers chatted and laughed as they lined up to exit the gate.

The most eye-catching person in the crowd was undoubtedly the laughing golden fox girl.

The warm winter sun cast a halo of light on her fluffy hair, and the velvet trim on her collar and skirt trembled in the wind, bringing a touch of vibrant energy to the cold winter.

"I'm home—yay—!"

The fox girl raised her hands to embrace the sun, and the swaying of her tail faithfully reflected her excitement.

The catgirl followed closely behind, dragging her suitcase, smiling as she watched the golden fox's bouncy back.

Nan Jiayu herself couldn't help but glance at the high-hanging sun and squint.

I'm back. Chengdu, a city that feels both familiar and strange.

My original plan was to spend only a few days in Guangzhou, but by the time I returned to Chengdu, more than half of the winter vacation had already passed.

Moreover, he had to ask Tianqing to help him catch up on the lessons he had missed this semester because of the magical girl activities, so the trip to the northern ice city had to be postponed.

Anyway, there's still a long road ahead!

Nan Jiayu let out a long breath, picked up her suitcase, and walked down the stairs to follow the fox girl ahead.

Quite a few things happened on this unexpected trip.

They not only gained a deeper understanding of things related to the clear sky, but their relationship also deepened further, and a new companion was added to the team.

"By the way, haven't Bunny and Dog come back yet?"

Walking side-by-side with the catgirl on the way to the subway, Su Tianqing asked curiously.

"...They didn't tell me, but I don't think I need to worry." Nan Jiayu paused for a moment before answering honestly.

I hadn't really paid attention to the whereabouts of these two companions, and I didn't even know how Xia Taotao got to Suicheng.

But then I thought, it would be quite difficult to find a magical girl with the ability to become invisible in the city.

As for Ye Lan, there's even less to worry about.

She had only recently received the blessing of the Star of Greed, though it was only a temporary boost to her magical abilities with magical assistance, and she hadn't officially joined the Stargazers or the Hero Association.

"Tao Tao said she has her own way. Since Ye Lan was able to go from Shancheng to Gangcheng, she should be able to go back by herself, right?"

"I see~"

Su Tianqing tilted her head, her ears and tail twitching up as if she had thought of something.

The fox girl clung to the cat girl and took a big, deep breath.

"suck!"

"Meow!!"

The catgirl bristled fiercely, while the foxgirl looked completely satisfied.

Cat energy MAX!

"So that means Little Fish can finally go on a date with me~?"

"Uh... but back in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, it was practically the same as dating, wasn't it?" Nan Jiayu said shyly.

"No, no, no, of course there's a difference, and a big one at that."

The fox girl shook her fingers and tail, and said with a smile,

"Travel is travel, dating is dating, they are two different things."

"Besides, we're going to Guangzhou on business, dating is different! We can do whatever we want!"

Nan Jiayu pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the difference.

But there's no need to think too much at this point. As long as the weather is fine, she can do whatever she wants. Holidays are for having fun.

Have as much fun as possible, so that the holiday can fulfill its intended purpose.

The two were chatting and laughing about their plans for tomorrow when, as they entered the subway, their attention was drawn to the screen displaying the news.

"Chengdu Midday News".

"At 7:00 a.m. this morning, a supermarket in Rongcheng Dongbo City was attacked by a strange person. Fortunately, no one was in the mall at the time, and no one was injured."

"Since the Hyacinth Squad is currently assisting in the fight against the monster in the port city, the attack was intercepted by the temporarily stationed Osmanthus Squad, which successfully eliminated the monster."

"Oh, it's Qiu Gui." "You must be one of the kids from the mountain town."

On the subway, people looking up at the news were discussing it quietly.

Qiu Gui?

Su Tianqing's ears twitched twice. After a moment's thought, she recalled the magical girl squad from the mountain city.

During the Hyacinth Squad's mission to aid Guangzhou and the port city, they took on the task of defending against the strange people in the mountain city and Chengdu.

The task is quite challenging, Su Tianqing thought to herself.

But speaking of which, I had met Qiu Gui once before, it seems to have been when I was bringing about the Iris Flower Starry Shadow?

At that time, I flew to the mountain city to capture the Razor Pokémon, and happened to run into Qiu Gui and the others who came to stop me. After exchanging friendly greetings, I left without much further contact.

But since they've been working so hard lately, I guess I won't bother them.

"Little Fish, let's go buy some New Year's goods tomorrow."

Su Tianqing quietly sidled up to the catgirl and whispered something to her.

"Also, Xiaoyu, are you going back to Shanghai for the Spring Festival?"

"I probably won't go back," Nan Jiayu replied without hesitation.

Su Tianqing blinked, as if realizing something, and her fox ears immediately drooped to the top of her head.

Oh no! Did I ask a really bad question?

Fox immediately began a brief brainstorming session.

Xiaoyu's hometown is Shanghai, and she was raised by Nan Xiaofeng's grandparents.

Now that she's saying "I'm never going back"... could it be...?

Could it be that Xiaoyu's grandparents have already passed away, and my words have struck a nerve with her?

Sensing the sudden silence and slight trembling of the fox girl beside her, Nan Jiayu tilted her head in confusion and met the fox girl's worried gaze.

The unspoken understanding between them allowed Nan Jiayu to immediately grasp Su Tianqing's thoughts, and she quickly tried to comfort her.

"That's not what you think, Tianqing!"

"Hmm?" The golden-haired fox girl's ears suddenly perked up, and her gloomy mood vanished instantly.

"I'm sorry you misunderstood. Actually, Grandma hasn't been feeling well lately, so Uncle brought her to Chengdu for treatment, and Grandpa came along too."

"They will probably settle down in Chengdu, so they won't need to go back to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year anymore."

Su Tianqing blinked, and after listening to the cat girl's explanation, the sad conclusion she had reached through her brainstorming immediately vanished.

"Silly kitty! You made me worry!"

"I was wrong! I'm sorry!"

Fox Fist patted Cat Girl's shoulder twice, but didn't use any force; he was just venting his feelings.

...

A leisurely subway ride.

After leaving the subway, the cat and the fox parted ways temporarily at the intersection.

Su Tianqing needed to settle her luggage, and Cat Girl also needed to send the luggage back to Nan Xiaofeng's house, since there was only one bedroom in the rented house, and it was quite crowded for the two of them.

...Although Su Tianqing thought that the feeling of two people sharing a bed was not bad, she always felt that it would lead to the destruction of the world. She decided that it was better to have intimate contact when no one was around.

"Mmm—"

After handing over the clothes she bought in the port city to the laundry familiar to clean them, and then handing over her luggage to the organizing familiar to pack it up, Su Tianqing stretched out a solid yawn.

A peaceful daily life.

It's hard to believe that he actually solved the astral rift that had plagued Red Rose for decades in Suicheng, and then killed the astral behemoth Jormungandr that threatened the safety of the port city.

After such an intense and exciting battle, Su Tianqing suddenly felt that living a leisurely life like this was quite nice.

"If only there were some little fish to play with—" the golden fox sighed.

I have a feeling that the familiar will turn me into a lazy fox. While waiting for Xiaoyu to come over, I'll collect the secret tome quests that I haven't had time to pay attention to lately!

The fox spirit opened the thick ancient book.

The task page prominently displayed several lines of large text:

【Daily Task 1: Spot the Difference】

Do you enjoy a peaceful daily routine? Then try something different!

[Requirement: Rewards are doubled when completing the task targeting Autumn Osmanthus]

Su Tianqing closed the secret manual, shut her eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Hey……

I'm sorry, Ms. Qiugui, but personally, I really didn't want to cause you any trouble.

But since the secret manual is tempting me with double rewards, I, the fox, am quite susceptible to temptation.

—Let's use Miss Qiugui as dessert before tutoring the cat tonight!
