Chapter 621 Ordinary Daily Life... Really?
Chapter 621 Ordinary Daily Life... Really?
The next day.
With the superhero "Civil Engineer" completing the final renovation of the last shopping mall, all the large commercial districts in Chengdu's second and third ring roads have been completed.
With the basic renovations completed, merchants moved in and prepared goods, providing living support and personalized renovation services for the residents who had successfully moved into the resettlement housing.
As for the construction plans for the high-rise buildings and apartment buildings in the central urban area, the Hero Association decided to conduct a final inspection before officially starting construction, and the magical girls' reconstruction activities also entered a one-day holiday break.
There are many ways for girls to spend this holiday:
The four members of the Wheat Ear Squad went shopping and relaxing at the mall, while Aquamarine led her team to Xiling Snow Mountain early in the morning, planning to use the magical girl's physique to have a speed climb.
Bai Lili, on the other hand, seemed more carefree—each member of the team had their own way of doing things. Clover went hiking with Aquamarine, while Tanuki and her companion searched for all sorts of delicacies in the suburbs of Rongcheng. Tian Nanxing and Alice also joined this food-loving team.
Bai Lili herself took the opportunity to fly to the mountain city and find Qiu Gui's team, where they also had a great time.
"Everyone here is so energetic..."
Hyacinth sat on a roadside bench, scrolling through the photos posted on social media by various teams on the Divine Stone, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I think Hyacinth, you can go out and have fun with everyone. It's so boring staying at home alone."
The white ferret sat on the hyacinth's shoulder, holding a Burger King deluxe four-layer beef burger in her hands. Her size meant that even if she opened her jaw so high it would dislocate, she couldn't bite into it, so she had to tear it apart layer by layer.
She is currently biting into the second beef patty.
Hyacinth rolled her eyes at the white ferret elf and took a sip of the cola in her cup.
"Bai Ling, stop it! You know how many commissions I've been doing lately, all of them manual labor!"
"Can there be more than nightingales?" Bai Ling immediately seized the opportunity to retort.
Hyacinth opened her mouth to refute, but thinking of Nightingale's absolutely luxurious 10-page commission record, she couldn't find any loopholes in Bai Ling's words, so she could only angrily tug at the tail of the white sable.
"Aaaaaah, my tail!"
"Serves you right for criticizing me! I'm going to rip your tail off!"
"I'll bite you to death!"
A small battle of wits ensued between Bai Ling and Feng Xinzi, but neither of them stopped eating hamburgers and drinking cola, making this sudden exchange seem somewhat meaningless.
Iris, watching from a distance, calmly observed the two bickering and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Do they do this often?"
The crimson-clad girl carried a bowl of delicious mashed potatoes to Iris's side, followed her gaze to the two who were attacking and defending each other with their sable claws and fingers, and said.
"Hmm...that sometimes happens. Hyacinth and White Spirit actually have a pretty good relationship," Iris replied.
"I see."
Akashi nodded, then looked around again, not seeing any other magical girls, and asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Speaking of that newcomer, I remember you were the one who gave her the code name, it was something like 'Shuoye'."
"She went back to Sparrow Village with her family today. Nightingale went with her to wander around there. Apparently, she plans to help the villagers with some reconstruction," Iris said.
I had actually heard Shuoye and Nightingale mention this yesterday: because Sparrow Village is located in the mountains, it is difficult for construction machinery to get in, and Meteor, a space ability user, is unable to leave due to the affairs of the Hero Association, so the reconstruction work is progressing very slowly.
In addition, the disaster area in Chengdu was larger and more severe, so the matter had to be temporarily put on hold.
But no one expected that after Garuda was defeated, it would cause the villagers of Sparrow Village that it had eaten to vomit up... This made things much more complicated.
The Chengdu Heroes Association had no experience in resettling the Sparrow Wings. The original plan was to have them examined at the hospital to confirm that they were healthy before settling them in resettlement housing. However, all the Sparrow Wings were eager to go back to their villages. One sparrow chirped and another group of sparrows made a racket, so they had no choice but to arrange for them to go back to their hometowns.
"So this matter fell to Shuoye," Iris laughed. "Rongcheng's railway and airport are currently paralyzed. The railway can only be rebuilt after all the ruins have been cleared. So we had to arrange for the Sparrow Villagers to fly back to their hometowns."
"And coincidentally, Sakuya was able to fly in her magical girl form, so everyone decided that she would lead a few villagers with better flying skills to fly all the way from Rongcheng back to Sparrow Village to take some photos of the reconstruction site."
"Wow... I didn't expect her to be so good at flying..." Akashi said in surprise.
Flying magic is one of the most basic abilities of magical girls, but their mastery of it varies greatly. Some are like Hellcat, who can break the sound barrier and climb vertically at supersonic speeds in an instant, while others are like Hyacinth, who is so strong that she can fly like a brick without a steering wheel.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone like Sakuya who could fly with others. Perhaps this was the unique advantage that winged beings had as magical girls? Akatsuki couldn't help but think to herself.
...That's a good thing, I suppose.
For the Hyacinth and Iris family living in Chengdu, this rare one-day holiday was naturally themed around shopping at the mall and moving into their new home.
Not to mention Hyacinth, even Su Tianqing was very concerned about moving into the new house—after all, magical girl activities and spot-the-difference fun could be done without a house, not to mention school life.
The Rongcheng Huatianli residential area was also unfortunately destroyed by Garuda, and Nan Xiaofeng's residence was naturally no exception:
The buildings in the residential area collapsed and were destroyed, leaving almost the entire area in ruins, and the gardens and green spaces were completely gone.
Fortunately, the house didn't collapse in the direction of Nan Xiaofeng's room. Since her house was on the first floor, many of her usual collections were miraculously preserved, making Nan Xiaofeng quite excited while cleaning up the ruins.
"I used to have a figure of you from your debut! I thought that limited edition was gone forever, but I never expected it to be tucked away in the closet, with only a few dents on the base!"
"And another thing, I also have a figure of Senior Qiu Baiyang. Unfortunately, the connection between the base and the feet is broken. I plan to use super glue to fix it, and maybe I can still strike the same pose as before."
Nan Xiaofeng gesticulated wildly as she spoke.
Hongxing—the true form of the magical girl Chixue, nicknamed Little Hong—is currently listening calmly to Nan Xiaofeng recounting his legendary experiences with figurines and related merchandise.
To be honest, after hearing Nan Xiaofeng's description and considering the overall damage to the buildings in the community, Xiao Xiaohong felt that it was truly a "miracle" that these plastic toys could be preserved so well.
"This is my home. Would you like to come in and have a seat, senior?" Nan Xiaofeng pointed to the front door of the house in front of him and said to the girl beside him.
The petite senior shook her head.
"I won't go in; I'll just walk around the neighborhood for a while."
"Oh, don't be so shy. The landscaping in the neighborhood isn't even finished yet. How about you sit at home for a while and give me some ideas for the renovations?"
Nan Xiaofeng chuckled and walked around behind the little senior, pushing her into the house. Chi Xue couldn't do anything about this super strong junior, so she had no choice but to follow her force into the house.
The house layout was a replica of the original buildings in the community. The initial uniform decoration did not seem very personalized, but Xiao Hong herself appreciated the simple style of whitewashed walls without any extra decorations.
However, the house was not empty: Hua Ling was carrying some books and arranging them on the living room bookshelf. She glanced back at Nan Xiaofeng and the other person who walked in through the door, then calmly turned around and looked directly at them.
"Hello, senior." Karin greeted her in a friendly manner.
"...Huh? Karin, what are you doing here? Didn't you just take the subway home?"
Xiao Xiao Hong spotted Hua Ling, the literary girl, at a glance and immediately wondered why she was at Nan Xiao Feng's house.
"Because when she got home she found that her house was badly damaged. The construction team just arrived today and it may take a few days to rebuild it, so she brought her books and came to my house to stay for a few days."
Nan Xiaofeng said with a smile,
"Speaking of which, where do you live, senior? If your house gets crushed by the giant monster summoned by Kokoro, why don't you come stay at my place? My house is quite big!"
"No way, it would be too strange for me to stay at your house." Little Red quickly declined Hyacinth's invitation.
The sofa and TV have been installed. Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling are discussing in the bedroom whether to add a display case for figurines, while Xiao Xiao Hong sits on the sofa watching TV with a bored expression, leisurely passing the time.
Thinking about it carefully, Hyacinth's words make some sense. She has been on retirement travel for so long and hasn't been back to her empty house yet. Perhaps this is a perfect opportunity to tidy up her place.
After my retirement trip is over, I'll settle down and open a small shop selling souvenirs downstairs from my place. I'll sell as much as I can. Or maybe I could work as a security guard at Qiu Baiyang's arcade, which would be pretty good too...?
A multitude of thoughts and ideas raced through her mind, and a smile, unnoticed even by herself, crept onto Hongxing's face.
Life is ordinary and uneventful, just like always.
...If we don't take into account the chibi version of the golden fox on TV.
【Ta-da!】
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, everyone in Chengdu!
Xin Yuehu's live broadcast suddenly appeared on the TV screen, replacing the original variety show, causing Chi Xue's smile to come to an abrupt end.
Even Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling from the bedroom rushed to the living room. The three of them stared at Xin Yuehu on TV, none of them understanding what was going on.
[Do you all find it strange that I saw a fox on TV?]
[That's right! This fox is currently in the newly rebuilt television station in Rongcheng! I'm temporarily borrowing the Rongcheng TV station's broadcasting studio to announce a very, very important, and exciting piece of news—]
The fox girl spun around, her fox tail held high, and as she swayed it, she spoke to the camera:
[7 PM tonight, Chengdu city center]
[An unprecedented large-scale magical girl competition is sure to bring you a joyful new experience!]
