Chapter 370 is part of the daily campus life.
Su Tianqing felt that the dog-girl in front of her was in a much better situation than Lin Muyao.
...At least they were able to talk from the start, seemed quite enthusiastic, and were easy to communicate with.
It's hard not to think of the hellish difficulty level Lin Muyao faced back then.
"I heard from Xiaoyue that you are the new magical girl she recruited, right?"
The golden fox smiled and struck up a conversation, then rummaged in his bag and pulled out a slightly wrinkled standee and a miniature SD figure inside a gashapon toy.
These are all dandelion-themed toys, obtained through legitimate channels. The standee is even a limited-edition New Year's item recently commissioned by the Hero Association.
"Now I'm a senior too! I heard from Xiaoyue that you really like iris and dandelion-themed merchandise, right? So I brought some over especially for you~"
"Woof... Dandelion...surroundings..."
The dog-girl blankly accepted the standee and gashapon, looked at the sunny dandelion with couplets on the standee, and stood there dumbfounded.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Su Tianqing asked with a smile.
Using the surrounding area as a guide! This is the first step in my plan!
Just like when I was looking for common topics with Lin Muyao, starting with magical girl toys made it easy to become friends with her!
Since they have the potential to become magical girls, they are bound to be interested in them; this is already a widely accepted fact supported by data.
"These things must be very expensive, right? Can I really...can I accept them?"
"Of course, these are all prepared for you, after all, I'm your senior~"
The fox spirit laughed.
Then, the dog girl paused briefly, sniffled, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Woof woof woof woof... Thank you... woof woof woof..."
"Waaah! Don't cry! It's just some merchandise!"
This left Su Tianqing and Yue Tianxin completely bewildered, and they quickly sent the fox spirit forward to comfort her.
"I...this is the first time I've ever received a gift...woof woof woof..."
The dog girl showed no signs of stopping, crying and laughing at the same time, holding the standee and gashapon figures in her hands, her tail just wouldn't stop.
Is this really easy to communicate with? Su Tianqing had a big question mark over her one-sided understanding.
.
Fortunately, the dog girl quickly recovered and carefully put the standee gashapon into the drawer as if it were a precious treasure, which put Su Tianqing at ease.
I noticed her outfit.
She wore an old-fashioned winter coat over a school uniform skirt and pilling fleece-lined tights. Her sneakers were relatively clean, but that didn't change her overall demeanor.
—A slightly accented, rustic-looking girl. Su Tianqing formed her first impression of Wang Xiaowang.
"So..."
The fox spirit floated to the two of them, looked at the dog girl sitting obediently, and said to Wang Xiaowang.
"Just like we agreed, let's get to know each other, our future partners."
"Woof... But I haven't become a magical girl yet..."
The dog-girl shrank her neck awkwardly, but quickly straightened her posture and said seriously:
"Cough cough cough."
"My name is Wang Xiaowang, and I'm a first-year student at the College of Arts and Sciences! Today, while I was working, I suddenly encountered a very strange little flying fox..."
"They're stargazers!" Yue Tianxin corrected her.
After the dog-girl finished introducing herself, Su Tianqing smiled gently and replied:
"I see. Xiaoyue only told me that she had found a promising newcomer, but I didn't expect that she had been following you all along."
"How can you call it stalking? Isn't that just being afraid of being discovered?"
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of being found out~"
Two foxes are putting on a duet.
Su Tianqing also gave a brief introduction of herself, using the Dandelion template, of course.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Wang is actually your fan," Yue Tianxin suddenly said, as if remembering something.
"Woof—"
The dog girl was a little shy, wagging her tail vigorously, but she quickly admitted to it.
"Really? I never thought I'd have fans. It makes me so happy!"
"Then why do you like dandelions, Xiao Wang? I remember Tian Qing's appearance rate is super low, she doesn't appear at all like hyacinths and the others," Yue Tianxin chimed in.
Su Tianqing herself was quite curious.
Dandelion is quite popular, but because of her low appearance rate, most people only know that there is such a magical girl in Chengdu, and very few people have actually seen Dandelion appear.
You ask why the appearance rate is low?
This is no one else's fault but theirs. It's all because Dandelion's [enhancement magic] is a bit too powerful. If used too often, it can easily lead to magical girls developing a Dandelion addiction.
This is a powerful ability that can elevate a normal hyacinth to a level where it can go toe-to-toe with a Hellcat, make wheat ears bloom with star-like shadows, and allow Fenrir to successfully connect to Sirius.
To put it in analogy, it's like "once you've experienced the enhancement from dandelion, you can never go back"—a terrifying enhancement ability.
Hearing Su Tianqing ask this question, the dog-girl swallowed hard, organized her thoughts, and said:
"Actually... actually, I just think the dandelion-themed dress... is really pretty!"
"And the tail is also fluffy and cute, much prettier than the hyacinth's."
oops?
Su Tianqing was stunned for a moment, almost failing to catch the direct praise.
I thought she would say something like "Dandelion magic is amazing," but it turned out to be a straightforward compliment about my appearance, which made me blush.
Excellent! Much sweeter-talking than Ye Lan! This fox is quite pleased!
But why did you also drag Hyacinth into this? You two will be partners from now on, aren't you sure there won't be any problems?
These were all inner monologues, which Su Tianqing did not say aloud, but simply smiled and thanked her.
...
What followed was a rather unproductive chat.
From her journey as a magical girl to her experiences in Guangzhou, Su Tianqing, from the perspective of a dandelion, explains in detail some essential knowledge about being a magical girl.
For example, the principles of "never revealing one's identity" and "the belief in protecting" were conveyed to Wang Xiaowang without reservation.
It has to be said, chatting as a magical girl senior is much more convenient than simply being a confidante older sister to a fox spirit. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Some things can only be said by someone in a senior's position. If one were an ordinary person, one could only say them after Xiao Wang successfully transforms.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing you transform successfully, little puppy! I'm sure it will go very smoothly."
"Uh... but can I really do this...?"
"Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it."
"Oh, speaking of which, how's Karin doing?"
Suddenly remembering that she had a teammate, Su Tianqing quickly sent a message to Hua Ling.
Fortunately, Hua Ling was strolling around the garden with Aurora at the moment. Upon seeing the message that Su Tianqing had finished, she immediately returned to the dormitory and they took turns patrolling the campus with Su Tianqing.
"...Does Sister Tianqing know that person who was in the dorm just now?"
Su Tianqing and Aurora sat down at the entrance of a small shop and ate oden. Aurora asked curiously.
"Yes, she's Karin's classmate. I've met her once, so I'd say we...know each other."
"I see. She'll be my roommate from now on," Aurora nodded and continued eating the sausage in her bowl.
The golden fox looked at the increasing traffic on the street and suddenly sighed.
He never expected Aurora to appear here, let alone that she would become Wang Xiaowang's roommate.
What if they accidentally discover each other's magical girl identities during their future school life...? What would happen then?
Thinking of this, Su Tianqing took a big bite of the fish ball in her bowl.
Never mind! We'll deal with it if something really goes wrong later! The secret manual can definitely solve it!
