[Mission: Expansion - Phase 3]
[The magical girl candidate has not been recognized by the Guardian Star; an attempt is made to help her unleash her potential.]
[Reward: 500 Divine Stones]
After washing up and changing into sportswear, Su Tianqing took out the secret manual from her magic space to check the mission page.
Hmm... Judging from the mission description, Karin must have tried to transform after talking to me last night, but she didn't get the Guardian Star's approval, which is why she was given this mission.
But it doesn't matter, everything is going according to plan! Especially now that I've obtained the Heartmoon Wand!
Next up are the daily tasks.
Secret manual! Give me some slacking-off tasks, please!
【Daily Task 1: Time to Slack Off】
Seeing how much effort you put in yesterday, I'll reward you with a day of slacking off today.
[Reward: 100 Divine Stones]
Yay! Long live slacking off!
Su Tianqing clapped her hands quietly.
After a quick breakfast, stuffing a power bank and a few slices of bread into her bag, the little fox stood in front of the full-length mirror and gave herself one last look at her outfit for the day.
Her hair was tied into two low braids, and she wore a light shirt suitable for sports, with an open-front cardigan over it—an outfit clearly meant for running and jumping around outside.
As for shorts, calf socks, and sneakers...
Su Tianqing doesn't like sneakers because they hide her small, delicate feet, making the shoes seem lifeless.
"Let's go!" Fox clenched her fist, full of confidence.
When we met at the subway station entrance, Nan Jiayu's attire was not much different from mine.
She was even lighter than herself—she didn't even wear a coat to keep warm when necessary, but instead wore a short dress and trousers, which gave her a unique catgirl-like heroic air.
Rongcheng Amusement Park is located in the northeast of the city, and can be reached quickly by subway.
Perhaps because it was the weekend, the amusement park entrance was full of parents and children, as well as many groups of students, and laughter filled the air.
Su Tianqing felt extremely excited and couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She pulled Nan Jiayu to stroll around the entrance of the amusement park and looked around. Before even going inside, she already had the idea of buying toys.
"Little fish, look! Isn't this hat pretty?"
The catgirl turned her head to look.
A human-style hat was crookedly placed on the golden fox's head. It tried to get the ears close to its head, but it couldn't get them on properly; they looked more like they were hanging on its ears.
Nan Jiayu chuckled.
"Don't rush to buy things so early. These are souvenirs you plan to buy after we leave the amusement park. Are you going to wear them around the park now?"
"Ah...that makes sense!" Su Tianqing suddenly realized.
Let alone the former Miss Su Tianqing, even in my previous life I could count on one hand the number of times I'd been to an amusement park. After starting work at the hospital, I almost completely cut off my time for such leisure activities.
They had no idea that amusement parks had such unwritten rules.
Soon, Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling arrived in a hurry.
"Sister Jiayu—~"
From a distance, Su Tianqing spotted the girl in her usual blue dress.
Nan Xiaofeng. She really liked this color scheme; not only did she usually wear mostly blue clothes, but even after transforming into a hyacinth, she was still sky blue. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
The moment Su Tianqing met Nan Xiaofeng's gaze, she immediately hid behind Nan Jiayu, keeping her distance from the fox-sucking monster Nan Xiaofeng.
After entering the gate, you will see an artificial lake.
A Ferris wheel has been erected on the island in the middle of the lake, and the amusement facilities are very complete, which makes Fox's eyes light up.
Looking at the roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and all sorts of fancy amusement facilities inside, Fox couldn't help but wag its tail vigorously.
"Where should we start playing?"
Staring at the three-fold map handed out upon entering the park, Su Tianqing suppressed her urge to act while seriously pondering the question.
Let's start with the roller coaster!
.
As Su Tianqing sat down next to Nan Jiayu and her seatbelt was fastened, she felt a pang of regret.
"Little, little fish, aren't you scared?" the golden fox asked timidly.
But when he turned around, he only saw Nan Jiayu, who looked calm and as if nothing had happened, staring at him with a puzzled look.
"Hmm? Tianqing, are you feeling unwell?"
"...No, I'm fine."
Su Tianqing forced herself to remain calm, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her racing heart.
But the fox's ears and tail don't lie; they faithfully reflected its mood with the most ferocious bristling of its life.
As the roller coaster departed, the screams of foxes echoed through the skies above Chengdu.
Five minutes later.
"Ugh!...Ugh...Ugh..."
"Are you alright, Tianqing? Are you feeling better?"
"Waaaaah... Ah... Ahhh..."
Fox was lying in front of the trash can, vomiting rainbows.
.
"I never expected you to react so strongly to roller coasters, Tianqing."
While strolling leisurely along the green walkway in the roller coaster park, Nan Jiayu smiled wryly and said to the little golden fox beside him.
Su Tianqing wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I don't know why I'm so dizzy... It looks so fun, but why can't I enjoy it...?"
Fox looked up and saw a roller coaster car speeding past just outside the overhead railing. She could faintly hear Nan Xiaofeng's cheerful laughter and Hua Ling's screams.
The two orcs watched the carriage speed past.
"...I think Hana Rin is also quite afraid of roller coasters." After a long silence, Su Tianqing complained.
"I think it's alright, it's probably just excited screaming." Nan Jiayu shrugged.
Ah—I really envy young people—
"You talk as if you're old, Tianqing."
This incident made Su Tianqing realize that she was simply incompatible with thrill rides, so she had to accept reality and the team split into two groups, each taking a different route.
Spinning teacups, bumper cars, pirate ship.
After trying out some of the gentler rides, Su Tianqing found the amusement park to be quite fun.
In my past life, I thought going to amusement parks was a complete waste of time, probably because I didn't have any friends I could talk to back then.
Thinking about it this way, I wonder if I am similar to the former "Su Tianqing" in some ways.
For example, they have no friends, their lives are monotonous, they are all busy making a living, and even their daily routines are similar.
The morning passed quickly.
I ate some bread and tried some dried fish that Nan Jiayu had brought me, and that was how I managed to get through lunch.
While eating, Su Tianqing also chatted with Nan Jiayu about what happened last night.
"Karin-san..."
Nan Jiayu chewed on a small piece of dried fish, seemingly lost in thought.
"Xiao Feng only recently became friends with her, and I only heard about her situation from my uncle yesterday... How should I put it, it's not a good sign."
"Is it that serious?" Su Tianqing asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes. Karin lives in the Hero Association's shelter. Her parents died in a monster attack four years ago, leaving her all alone."
Su Tianqing's heart skipped a beat.
Last night I had imagined many possibilities about Hana Rin's family situation, but I never expected it to be like this.
"Xiao Feng also heard about this, but the child didn't look at Hua Ling differently because of it, which is good."
"Yes, what Hua Ling needs most is a friend like Xiao Feng." Su Tianqing nodded in agreement.
It seems this magical girl candidate has a much stronger inner strength than she imagined.
Most children would have been psychologically broken by this incident. Although Hana Rin was also greatly affected, she appeared to be no different from any other child on the surface.
Being able to withstand such a dramatic change in her life and try to adapt is an absolutely rare quality for someone her age.
"That child and Xiaofeng both like you quite a bit."
Nan Jiayu suddenly added another sentence.
"You like me?" The golden fox blinked.
"Xiao Feng is happy to see you, and Hua Ling is also happy to chat with you. Tian Qing, you're very popular!" Nan Jia Yu replied with a smile.
"Oh... So, Little Fish, do you like me too?"
The little fox tilted its head, pricked up its ears, and revealed a harmless smile.
"Of course I'm happy—"
The words that were about to come out froze on her lips. Nan Jiayu seemed to realize another hidden meaning in her words, and the words stuck in her throat. A blush quickly crept up her cheeks.
Su Tianqing suddenly laughed, a very happy laugh, her laughter as melodious as the chirping of kites and the warbling of orioles.
Golden Fox reached out and took the hand of the catgirl beside him, pulling her up from her seat and pointing to the bustling amusement park rides in the distance.
"That looks so much fun! Let's go play that!"
The little fox scurried a few steps, then suddenly turned around and glanced at the stunned Nan Jia fish, giving it a charming smile.
It really is... as dazzling as the sun on a clear day, Tianqing.
