Chapter 462 Here you have to do your old job too
Nan Xiaofeng sat on a chair in the restaurant, blowing on the steaming hot drink in her hand to cool it down.
The girl's hands were covered by thick gloves, her head was covered by a soft cotton hat, and she was wrapped in a down jacket, which kept her very warm.
Her companion, Hua Ling, was dressed in a completely different manner.
A brown fleece-lined knit hat, a fleece sweater over a beige coat with a neat row of buttons, and a woolen scarf draped over the girl's shoulders, along with white fleece-lined tights—
She possesses an elegant demeanor and a scholarly air reminiscent of a young literary woman.
This made the two people sitting across the table's eyes light up, especially Xia Youyou. If it weren't for the other girl sitting next to her, she probably would have already gone around to the other side of the table to stick to her senior, Hua Ling.
"So..."
The girl next to Xia Youyou spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone around the table.
"—Let's begin our magic seminar today!"
"Okay—"
Jinlan Shuang, the true form of the magical girl Marigold.
She also proposed organizing this offline seminar and learning event for magical girls, which allowed Nan Xiaofeng to fully appreciate her passion for magical girls.
"Then, let's review your strategies for dealing with the weirdos."
As the chief analyst for this seminar, Lin Muyao put on a pair of non-prescription glasses on her nose and wrote a few words on the small whiteboard on the table.
"First up is this lady over here... Ms. Jin Lanshuang, what kind of role do you usually play?"
"Me? I currently prefer magic missiles! And the magic cannon magic I learned last time!" Jin Lanshuang answered honestly.
Nan Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow.
"Magic cannon?...Why didn't I see you two use it that night? That magic is super powerful."
"Because we just learned it yesterday, hehe." The girl scratched the back of her head and said with a chuckle.
Nan Xiaofeng was still completely bewildered until Hua Ling smiled and took over the conversation to explain, at which point she finally understood the reason:
"Miss Dandelion, she's also visiting Snow City."
"Dandelions?...Eh?! Doesn't that mean—"
Hua Ling smiled and gestured for silence. Nan Xiaofeng immediately understood and didn't continue speaking, but he secretly harbored the idea of the fox-sucking monster in his heart.
I absolutely have to find a way to meet Sister Tianqing and Sister Jiayu! That fluffy tail will definitely be super warm on this snowy day!
Ignoring the eye contact between the fox-sucking monsters, Lin Muyao kept analyzing the tactical arrangements for Jin Lanshuang, using the battlefield positioning of the iris flower to lay a solid foundation for the newcomer's long-range firepower theory.
Jin Lanshuang took notes diligently.
As she entered a state of deep thought, Lin Muyao's gaze fell upon the timid pink-haired bunny girl.
Xia Youyou, the true form of the magical girl Meng Donghua.
It has to be said that when Lin Muyao saw the pink bunny girl, she immediately thought of the magical girl merchandise collector who was a classmate of Tian Qing and the others.
Tao Tao's home has so many super rare merchandise items that it's dazzling. Judging from the contents of her collection room, each item could fetch an outrageous price on the secondhand market.
Xia Youyou is also a pink-haired rabbit girl, and even her timid and socially awkward personality is seven-tenths similar to Sister Tao Tao.
Could it be that pink hair and social anxiety have some strong correlation? Lin Muyao couldn't help but fall into a brief moment of thought.
"Then, next up is Youyou."
"Ah...is it...my turn...?"
Xia Youyou's soft, sweet voice rang out in the room, her rabbit ears drooping behind her head, looking all timid and huddled up in a little ball.
"Hmm, Youyou, which fighting style do you prefer? Is it ranged firepower like Miss Jin Lanshuang?"
"This...this..."
The rabbit girl lowered her head and pondered for a while, then muttered to herself:
"Although Dandelion-senpai taught me magic cannon magic... I actually prefer... imbuing my wand with magic, and then..."
"And then? And then what?" Lin Muyao quickly asked.
"Waaah... It's that one, sneak up behind the weirdo and whack it hard with your wand, like this!"
The rabbit girl made a gesture of quietly approaching, then raised her hands as if holding a magic wand, then gently waved them down, before quickly and timidly shrinking back into a ball.
"Pfft!!"
"Wow, Hana Rin, are you alright? If the water is too hot, let it cool down for a while."
Hua Ling, who was sitting across the table, suddenly choked on her water. Nan Xiaofeng quickly grabbed a tissue from the table and handed it to her. The girl smiled wryly and looked down to wipe her glasses.
The pink-haired bunny girl ambushes from behind, striking with something.
Hana Rin recalled some unpleasant memories.
"Hmm... this fighting style seems rather familiar, woof."
Wang Xiaowang, who was sitting to the side enjoying his meal, had just finished a plate of sweet and sour pork. He picked up another plate of braised pork ribs and said something.
"This tactic is a lot like Cheshire Rabbit's stealthy raiding style, woof, do you want to learn it, Yoyo?"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Hua Ling's choking on water became more severe.
……
Aside from mentioning that the Cheshire Rabbit's stealthy ambush caused Karin to have a brief reaction of resistance, the atmosphere of this study and discussion session was quite harmonious.
The rookie magical girls received combat experience from their veteran seniors, who enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing holiday, and everyone felt very happy.
In particular, there was a Bernese Mountain Dog girl who hadn't stopped eating since she entered the venue. She ate a plate of sweet and sour pork, two plates of braised pork ribs, and a basket of dumplings today, and she ate very happily.
As dusk fell outside the window, the hyacinth stretched lazily.
"Ugh..."
"It's already this late, senior. Would you like to have dinner together later? The food at this restaurant is amazing."
Returning to reality from the sea of knowledge, Jin Lanshuang suddenly realized that it was already late and quickly extended an invitation.
Before Lin Muyao and Nan Xiaofeng could agree, Jin Lanshuang and Xia Youyou's phones suddenly rang, interrupting the dinner invitation.
"Beep beep beep~"
A melodious magical girl-themed ringtone.
"Why are you calling at this hour... Sorry, senpai, it's the Hero Association, we have to answer it."
Nan Xiaofeng didn't care that the two of them answered the phone; in fact, it was rare for them not to answer the Hero Association's calls.
"Feed? Yes, I'm Jin Lanshuang, and Xia Youyou is right next to me... Huh?"
Jin Lanshuang looked surprised, and Xia Youyou was also stunned. The two listened quietly to the story on the other end of the phone, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"Okay, okay, we'll contact Hyacinth right away... and call the whole team? But... um, um, okay."
Nan Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow.
After the two of them hung up the phone with serious expressions, Nan Xiaofeng finally asked:
"What happened?"
"It's not exactly a big deal... no, it's an extremely serious matter!"
Jin Lanshuang, looking completely unaccustomed to such a scene, said in a terrified tone,
"Senior! Something terrible has happened!"
"The Hero Association's field operations specialist just called to tell us that Shingetsuko posted an attack announcement on her social media account; she's going to attack downtown Snow City tonight!"
"We need to evacuate the crowds in the city center as soon as possible!"
Nan Xiaofeng's puzzled expression gradually calmed down, and he replied expressionlessly:
"Damn it."
