Chapter 499 Relaxation and Leisure
Chapter 499 Relaxation and Leisure
Using the power of magical girls to carry out activities is nothing new in the Hero Association.
After all, not every city is as plagued by disasters as Chengdu, with monsters attacking every day. Magical girls don't fight monsters every day either; fighting them once a week is considered a normal frequency.
When they don't need to fight monsters, the magical girls, in addition to their daily studies and lives, also respond to the Hero Association's call to participate in events such as concerts and fan meetings.
Or they can participate in other charity events to build a fan base.
However, in high-intensity situations like Rongcheng, where one has to confront monsters and even villainous magical girls every day, all activities must give way to the fight against monsters.
"So, you guys have never appeared in front of so many people before?"
"I can't believe it," said the marigold curiously.
Hyacinth shook her head.
"No, I did participate in Rongcheng's events at the beginning, but I haven't been back since Xinyuehu became active."
"I see..." Marigold said thoughtfully.
"Huh? The Hero Association actually holds regular events? I've never seen that before!" Nightingale quickly joined the conversation, asking in confusion.
"Nightingale, don't you even consider what kind of battles we usually fight? Heart Moon Fox summons monsters to attack the city almost every day. Where do you find the time to participate in these activities?"
Then the white sable elf pressed him back down.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem true," Nightingale said, suddenly realizing.
"That's right, that's right, it's all because of the Heart Moon Fox's frequent attacks! It's all that fox's fault!"
"Think about it, we're always busy dealing with the troubles Xin Yuehu causes, when do we have time to participate in charity events and concerts?"
Seeing that things were going well, Bai Ling quickly transformed into a master of stirring things up, trying to change Nightingale's impression of the Moon Fox.
If we combine the fact that "I can't participate in the event" with "the Heart Moon Fox attacking the city", we might be able to turn Nightingale's defection and fox-snatching mentality back!
"But woof, all those activities are such a hassle, woof."
Suddenly, Tian Nanxing spoke, its tail wagging, revealing its innermost thoughts.
"Besides, we can't sing, so even if we go to events, we'll only be variety show dogs."
"Tian Nanxing is right. It's nice to be able to read books at home," Iris replied with a smile.
"Hmm...that makes sense!" Nightingale thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Besides, there are a lot of fun things to do with Fox and the others, much more fun than concerts."
"Like the Monster Arena and the Gold Bar Mayhem... Speaking of which, I only got to the first chapter of that otherworld adventure scenario last time. When will I be able to start the second chapter?"
"I'm going to ask Alice!" Tian Nanxing said excitedly.
"Ugh! How awful!"
Bai Ling's plan to "correct" the magical girl's identity has failed miserably.
.
The girls continued their casual conversation, without affecting the ongoing barrier healing.
The process of treating the rabbit residents is actually quite simple:
In the absence of a magical storm, Inari's barrier integrates the function of drawing magical energy from the earth's veins to create a magical energy concentration similar to that during a raging storm within the barrier, thereby replenishing magical energy.
However, ley line magic is not as stable and controllable as astral magic, which is why magical girls are needed to filter out magic that ordinary people cannot withstand.
"Rather than being therapists, we're more like safety supervisors maintaining the smooth operation of the barrier."
While maintaining the healing barrier he was in charge of, Hellcat spoke to the fox girl beside him.
"Miss Inari's barrier is very thoughtful," Su Tianqing nodded in response.
The two looked around.
Outside the healing barrier, rabbit residents who came to participate in the treatment were queuing up in considerable numbers, indicating that the Hero Association's mobilization efforts were indeed quite effective.
Among the crowd, several pink figures were particularly eye-catching:
"You unlucky kid, I told you your dad was going to set up his stall today, but you had to come here..."
"Oh, Mom, just wait in line. You can get eggs and limited-edition gifts after you finish queuing."
Xia Youyou stood beside her mother, trying her best to persuade her.
"How much money can eggs make... Alright, alright, I'll take my place. We'll use the unsold steamed buns to make fried bread slices tonight."
Behind the mother and daughter, a middle-aged man with a cane caught Su Tianqing's attention.
He also had pink hair, a weathered face, and his eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Xia Youyou.
"That person..."
The golden-haired fox girl said, drawing the attention of the cat girl beside her.
"...Oh, that must be Tao Tao's father. He's younger than I thought." Nan Jiayu's cat tail swayed twice as she answered in a low voice.
Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu were both curious about Xia Taotao's father.
After all, this father had his leg broken by Xia Taotao before, and it's unknown whether the father and daughter have talked recently, let alone whether there are any signs of reconciliation.
But judging from Xia Taotao's socially awkward demeanor, which kept her at a distance and dared not approach, Su Tianqing felt that she probably had never even tried to get in touch with her father.
"Kitty, do you think Rabbit has talked to her father?"
"Probably not." Nan Jiayu shrugged.
Expecting Xia Taotao, who is socially awkward, to take the initiative to chat with her family is, upon closer reflection, a really unlikely task.
But this is someone else's family matter after all, and it's not appropriate for me to force my way in. So I'll just give her a subtle hint, since Rabbit has to deal with it eventually, right?
.
The morning went by quickly.
As the last group of residents who received treatment left feeling refreshed, the treatment site finally quieted down.
"Finally—it's finished!"
The nightingale stood up excitedly, raised her hands, and celebrated loudly.
"Yay—" "All done, woof!"
Everyone agreed without prior agreement, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
As a magical girl, being able to help others is the most enjoyable thing.
Su Tianqing paid special attention to the expression on Jinmahua's face.
Like everyone else, she wore an excited and joyful smile. This genuine happiness couldn't be faked, and besides, she had no need to force a smile.
It seems that Marigold can indeed gain a sense of accomplishment and joy from "eliminating the pain of others," which is a fitting description of her status as a good girl chosen by the Guardian Star.
If that's the case, why did the Codex ask her to help her find the "Will of Protection"? Isn't that redundant?
Su Tianqing had planned to have some inspiration while doing serious work today, but she still had no clue. She had no choice but to give up on hoping for inspiration to suddenly burst forth.
I'll talk to Cat about this later; maybe she can gain more insights from Little Fish's perspective.
Thinking this, Su Tianqing couldn't help but look at the pink-haired rabbit girl who was hiding behind the bushes not far away, looking at the crowd.
Xia Taotao, the magical girl Cheshire Rabbit.
Today, she is one of the magical girls in charge of treatment, unlike Xia Youyou who accompanied her parents to their treatment.
Thinking of the idea that had just popped into her head, Su Tianqing quietly slipped to the rabbit girl's side and said to her:
"Bunny~ What are you doing here~?"
"Mmm!"
Xia Taotao was startled and her whole body tensed up.
"I...I...I was just about to come looking for you guys, but when I saw so many people here, I..."
"Don't force yourself, Rabbit, just do what you like," Su Tianqing said with a smile, soothing the frightened rabbit girl's anxiety.
Upon hearing this, Xia Taotao calmed down almost immediately.
"But on another note, when I was treating everyone just now, I saw your sister bring your father and mother over. Tao Tao, didn't you go and keep them company?"
Su Tianqing said.
He wanted to know Tao Tao's true thoughts and how she viewed her parents.
But all that followed was silence.
"Although what I'm saying might make you uncomfortable, I still want to share my thoughts."
Su Tianqing continued,
"Bunny, if you could, could you go and talk to your father?"
"Some things can only be resolved by talking face-to-face. I hope that you, Rabbit, will not have any regrets."
