Chapter 365 Yue Tianxin's Intelligence Gathering
"Yesterday was so much fun!"
Nan Xiaofeng chuckled as he ate his food and spoke to Hua Ling and Lin Muyao at the table.
Lin Muyao swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Nan Xiaofeng.
"Hmm? Didn't Xin Yuehu invite you out alone yesterday? What, you actually got to enjoy yourself?"
The girl's tone carried a mix of doubt, surprise, curiosity, and nonchalance.
Nan Xiaofeng looked up happily and began to describe the events of the previous night to the two of them with great enthusiasm:
"You know what? I met two Alices yesterday! One was gold and one was black!"
"The one in black tried to fight me in close combat right away, but I knocked her away with two thuds! The one in gold tried to use magic to restrain me, but I rushed in and subdued her too!"
Clang, bang, clatter.
Nan Xiaofeng's description, which was full of onomatopoeia, stunned Hua Ling and the other girl. It took them a long time to form a picture of what happened last night in their minds.
"...I think she's been beaten senseless by Hellcats," Lin Muyao retorted expressionlessly.
Black, melee-oriented—there really is such a person in Xin Yuehu's team.
That person is called Black Hole Form Hellcat.
There is indeed one person who uses magic, and that person is named Heart Moon Fox.
In Lin Muyao's opinion, Nan Xiaofeng was hallucinating after being double-teamed by the cat and fox last night, or perhaps Xin Yuehu had cast some kind of powerful illusion spell on him that hadn't been lifted yet.
"No way! Hellcats didn't lift a finger last night; they made me spar with those two Alices!"
Nan Xiaofeng said,
"I even held back a bit, but anyway, it was a really enjoyable fight! I haven't felt this good in ages!"
"It's like changing into a brand new costume after transforming into a new Guardian Star on New Year's morning!"
Nan Xiaofeng's whimsical analogy did not alleviate Lin Muyao's confusion; on the contrary, it made her even more perplexed.
Under their persistent questioning, during a break while drinking soup after dinner, Nan Xiaofeng carefully recounted more details.
She recounted everything from the appearance of the two Alices to her experience as a sparring partner to the people around her.
Then Bai Ling gave him a hard tap on the shoulder.
"Little Feng, are you stupid?! You actually agreed to be Heart Moon Fox's sparring partner?" the white sable elf said.
"Then what should I do?" Nan Xiaofeng said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"There's a hellcat poking around on the roof, glaring at me. If I don't cooperate, I'm afraid I'll be fighting it myself soon!"
"Then you can't—"
Just as the white sable elf was about to say something more, she was poked in the back by the fox elf next to her who was eating snacks.
"What Xiao Feng said makes sense, Senior Bai Ling. Besides, that Heart Moon Fox really didn't pose a threat to Xiao Feng's safety, did it?"
"Even you, Xiaoyue, say that... Well, alright then, I'll forgive you for taking matters into your own hands, Xiaofeng!"
The white ferret elf crossed its arms to its chest, its tail curled up beside it, looking quite smug.
"But then again, Xiaofeng, you just said there are two Alices, that's quite interesting."
"Oh? Xiaoyue, do you know what's going on?"
Bai Ling tilted her head curiously and said.
The fox spirit nodded.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I remember reading a paper on advanced magic when I was in school—"
Next, Yue Tianxin Fox almost perfectly replicated the theoretical analysis she had heard from Inari, making the three people and the mink slightly open their mouths, their faces full of wisdom.
Just like students who are baptized in advanced mathematics class.
"In short, Alice may have encountered this characteristic of astral projection, which is why she became two Alices," Moon Sky Fox concluded.
"The power of the astral plane is truly amazing; even such an exaggerated situation can occur," Lin Muyao exclaimed.
"...Even though I don't understand, I have a feeling that things will get worse for us," Karin whispered.
Then, everyone exchanged glances and turned their gazes toward the white ferret elf.
"Bai Ling, don't you think we're severely understaffed right now?"
Nan Xiaofeng looked at Bai Ling beside him and said,
"Sister Tianqing... Ah, Miss Dandelion has been tutoring my older sister lately, the two of them are so lovey-dovey, they don't have time to participate in our activities at all."
"Yes, speaking of which, has Senior Bai Ling been recruiting new magical girls lately?" Yue Tianxin Fox seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.
The white sable elf paused for a moment, then her expression quickly turned helpless.
"Hey, stop talking. I've sent out several Guardian Stars recently, but none of them have successfully transformed. I haven't heard back from them at all."
"Really? You didn't just lazily throw the Guardian Star away somewhere, Bai Ling?"
"Are you kidding me! I have a lot of professional ethics, okay?!"
Bai Ling slapped Nan Xiaofeng on the shoulder, making her wince.
Then I quickly became depressed.
"I selected several girls from several schools who seemed suitable, but the Guardian Star didn't approve of them at all, so I had no choice but to give them to them as souvenirs."
"Why is that?! I think they're perfect for each other! Why won't it work?"
Bai Ling clutched her head and wailed, while Yue Tianxin, the fox spirit, stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Now Su Tianqing is micro-managing her familiar.
I thought Bai Ling was just wasting her time, but I didn't expect that she was actually seriously looking for a new magical girl. I had misunderstood her.
But after submitting several applications, there have been no follow-ups... Am I just having really bad luck?
Thinking about how the Qiu Gui team was about to finish their performance and return to the mountain city, Su Tianqing suddenly felt a little worried.
It seems we need to increase the number of righteous magical girls! Otherwise, the fun will be greatly reduced!
"Senior Bai Ling, could I see your application list?"
Yue Tianxin asked aloud.
Bai Ling didn't hide anything. She reached into the magic space, took out a notebook, and handed it to Yue Tianxin Fox.
The two stargazers huddled together, carefully reading the list. Nan Xiaofeng and his two companions, feeling a bit bored standing below, decided to leave the private room to pay the bill and grab some drinks.
Today is our team's get-together for the Lunar New Year holiday, and Nan Xiaofeng, who successfully finished his homework and received his allowance, is paying for everything.
After the stargazers finally finished going through Bai Ling's list, Nan Xiaofeng looked at Yue Tianxin Huhu, who was floating in mid-air with a solemn expression, gazing at the horizon, and asked curiously:
"Miss Xiaoyue, is there a problem with Bai Ling's list?"
In Nan Xiaofeng's eyes, the advanced academic genius Yue Tianxin Huhu has completely surpassed the old-fashioned academic failure Bai Ling, and has become the most reliable stargazer in the team.
Yue Tianxin floated down from the sky and sat on Nan Xiaofeng's shoulder. After thinking for a while, she spoke:
"How should I put it... Senior Bai Ling, these children you chose..."
"So, what do you think? Don't you think they all have amazing potential?"
"...On the contrary, I feel that my suitability is simply not good enough."
"How could that be!"
The white ferret elf clutched its head and howled in despair, but still held onto a sliver of hope as it pressed on with the question:
"But why would that be? They all love magical girls so much, and they all have collections of related merchandise, just like Xiaofeng and the others..."
"If collecting a lot of magical girl merchandise can make you a magical girl, then how do you explain Karin?"
Hua Ling wasn't surprised that Yue Tianxin used her as an example.
She only gradually became interested in the surroundings after becoming a magical girl, but she only played along with everyone else and didn't become a fanatical fan.
"So, Shirarei-senpai, the potential to become a magical girl isn't just about passion!"
Yue Tianxin Fox said earnestly, flying into the air and raising a finger towards Bai Ling.
"Leave the search for a new magical girl to me!"
