Chapter 365 Uneasiness
Inside the massage room, a voice cried out, "Bai Xiaodie, you just wait! One day I'll get my revenge!"
Huan Die was in a pretty good mood today. Although she wasn't one to hold grudges, she was still a little annoyed that Ye Qiu had teased her repeatedly in Ye Qiu City.
Back then, she was a teacher and didn't want to bully a little kid or stoop to his level. But now...
Who could resist a gangster's daughter having fun?
By the time Huan Die arrived at the hot spring room from the massage room, it was already completely dark.
As you follow the winding path into the open-air hot spring area, steam rises from the surface of the hot spring water, and a faint sulfurous aroma fills the air.
Through the white steam, Huan Die could see a girl lazily soaking in the water. However, from a distance, she seemed to be entertaining herself, puffing out her cheeks and staying in the water, with half of her head sticking out as she slowly blew bubbles.
Watching the crystal-clear bubbles rise and sway in the water, a smile would appear on her face, as if blowing more bubbles would make her even happier.
He repeats this over and over, just like a little child.
Seeing this, Huan Die felt a pang of guilt. "Xia Zi, how's your shower going? I'm getting ready to go home. Shall we go together?"
"...Hmm, shall we go home together? Sure, sure, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing the voice of the phantom butterfly, the girl abruptly rose from the hot spring.
Clear water droplets dripped from the girl's slender body, especially from the majestic mountain peaks, where the water flowed into a thin stream that meandered down.
Even Huan Die couldn't help but take a few more glances, then silently turned her head away, looked down at her own, and compared them slightly.
It has to be said that Bai Cha Xia Zi is truly gifted.
Although Huan Die's movements were discreet, Bai Cha Xia Zi, who was soaking in the water, could see them clearly, and her cute little face looked particularly rosy at this moment.
After Bai Chaxiazi changed her clothes, the two walked out of the Moonlight Hot Spring Resort together. A black car was already parked outside. The girl behind her was still a little embarrassed, but Bai Xiaodie had already taken her hand and gotten into the car.
Just kidding, she spent hundreds of thousands here today, she has to find a way to make up for it.
Upon getting into the car, Huan Die's gaze immediately fell upon Matsuo Kazukawa sitting in the driver's seat. Somewhat surprised, she asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Matsuo Kazukawa, is there anything you wish to tell us?"
"No, no, it's just my duty to escort Miss's friends home safely."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Matsuo Kazukawa."
"It's okay."
In the vehicle, the three chatted for a while longer, about rather superficial things.
It wasn't until the vehicle arrived at Bai Cha Xia Zi's house that Huan Die's face showed a hint of surprise, as Bai Cha Xia Zi's place seemed to be quite close to her home.
The girl got off the bus, and with a slightly shy smile, waved to them.
"Goodbye, Little Butterfly, Uncle Matsuo."
The phantom butterfly waved back, and the vehicle started again.
A few minutes later, the vehicle stopped, and Matsuo Kazukawa took a black card out of his collar and placed it on the booth.
"Bai Xiaodie, thank you so much for spending time with us this afternoon. I've heard about the wall repair fee at the hot spring resort. Please forgive our lady for being unreasonable. Since you are our guest, protecting you is our duty and obligation."
Therefore, we absolutely cannot accept your money. Please be sure to accept this black card; the PIN is six zeros.
.
Huan Die glanced at the black card indifferently, shook her head, and said, "No need. This money is what I lost in a bet with Fei Yue. Since I lost, there's no reason for me to take it back."
Seeing Huan Die's resolute expression, Matsuo Kazukawa stopped insisting and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Bai Xiaodie, I took it upon myself to make this decision."
After a few seconds of pause, he put on a sincere smile and said, "Our young lady may sometimes seem a bit willful, which may cause you some trouble, but in essence, she is a very gentle and kind girl. If possible, I hope you can spend more time with our young lady."
Then, he took out an exquisite business card from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Bai Xiaodie with both hands.
"Of course, if you need any help, Miss Bai Xiaodie, you can contact me anytime, anywhere. My contact information is on this business card."
"Um."
As Huan Die glanced at the business card in her hand and watched the black car drive away, she recalled what the other person had just said and inexplicably felt like laughing.
Is Fei Yue gentle and kind?
Back home, a familiar orange figure appeared in front of her. At first glance, Aquarius seemed to have suddenly grown much larger.
Huan Die shook her head; it must be her imagination.
Back home, Huan Die had already expertly prepared a bowl of instant noodles. She sat down at the table and started checking the latest news: "Magical girl idol Li Yue-chan debuts, everyone is welcome to come and support her."
"Strange incidents have occurred, involving people ranging from seventy or eighty-year-old seniors to young children, who fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, despite having normal vital signs."
"The Silver City Higher Education Hall is about to host a university league..."
'
"The Maple Leaf Village Rice Fragrance Shrine will be holding its annual shrine maiden festival next month to recruit maiden priestesses."
'
'
Slurp~
Huan Die slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles with satisfaction, her face beaming with a happy smile.
To be honest, the news in Yinhui City was much more interesting than the news in Yeqiu City. She enjoyed reading every single news article, and the information provided broadened her horizons.
The orange slime beside it served as the perfect cushion for the Butterfly's bottom, its soft tentacles gently massaging the Butterfly's shoulders.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
"Hmm, you said there's a very powerful abyssal aura surging in the Asagaya district?"
Not long after Bai Cha Xiazi returned home, *click*—
Her mother, Shizuko Murakami, also returned. With light steps, she casually took off her shoes, put her bag on the table, and collapsed onto the sofa, the tense aura emanating from her vanishing without a trace.
Bai Chaxiazi, who had just returned to her room, turned pale when she heard the door open. She had gone out with her classmate Bai Xiaodie that afternoon, and it seemed like there were still many things she hadn't done.
"Xiazi, how's dinner preparation going tonight?"
Bai Chaxiazi carefully walked out of the room, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to explain softly, "Um... I'm sorry, Mom, I had some club activities this afternoon, so I came home late."
The girl's words immediately soured the woman lying on the sofa. She said coldly, "Since you know you're late, why don't you hurry up and make dinner? Are you trying to starve me to death?"
"I understand, Mom."
Bai Cha Xiazi walked into the kitchen with her head down and began preparing dinner.
Watching the girl leave, the woman was still clearly not satisfied, muttering, "Xiazi, you're not a child anymore. Can't you be a little more sensible? I'm exhausted every day, with rent, utilities, your tuition, and all sorts of other expenses. All I ask is that you prepare the meals and do the laundry every day. Is that so hard?"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these upsetting things anymore. How are your grades? If you're still at the bottom of the class like before, you might as well quit school and start earning money as soon as possible."
In the kitchen, Natsuko, who was drinking white tea, clenched her fists tightly and remained silent.
If it were before, dropping out of school would have been fine, but she has just made friends and doesn't want to drop out.
"Xiazi, are you listening?"
"Here I am."
"I'm asking you a question, are you deaf? If there's no problem, we'll go and process your withdrawal tomorrow."
"ah?
'
Bai Chaxia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "I...I don't want to drop out of school!"
The voice was unusually clear and loud, causing the woman in the living room to pause slightly. This was the first time her daughter had spoken to her so loudly. Murakami Shizuko pressed her brow.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you. If you don't want to drop out of school, then study properly. Also, is the food ready yet? I'm starving."
"I see."
A dozen minutes later, Bai Cha Xiazi came out carrying a steaming dinner.
Two bowls of miso soup, two bowls of omelet rice.
At the dinner table, Murakami Shizuko ate while observing Shiracha Natsuko. She was curious that her usually submissive daughter dared to talk back today. After a long while, she slowly said, "Natsuko, you don't have a boyfriend at school, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chaxiazi's face instantly flushed, and she quickly shook her head.
"no."
"It's best if you don't. I'm paying your tuition so you can learn something, not so you can find a boyfriend. Besides, those men aren't any good..."
'
Murakami Shizuko snorted coldly.
Bai Cha Xiazi dared not refute or respond.
After dinner, Bai Chaxiazi didn't go into her room. Instead, she brought out the first-aid kit. "Mom, do you need me to apply the medicine today?"
"Um."
Will.
Shizuko Murakami, lying on the sofa, softly hummed in agreement.
Bai Cha Xia Zi pulled open her dress, revealing bluish-purple lumps covering the other person's snow-white skin.
It's heartbreaking to see them like this.
The girl took out a disinfectant swab and anti-swelling spray and gently sprayed the area, while the woman remained motionless, like a corpse. The two fell into a brief silence.
"Is anyone bullying you at school?"
"----No."
The two exchanged a few words and then fell silent again. Bai Cha Xiazi quietly massaged her mother to relax her until her phone rang.
"bite-
—"
This was an alarm from CCSA Sakura-cho Ward. Shiracha Natsuko glanced at her phone, then looked at her tired mother on the sofa, her expression hesitant.
At that moment, Murakami Shizuko opened her eyes. "Someone sent you a message?"
"No, no, this is the alarm clock I set for myself to study."
Perhaps it was a lie, because Bai Chaxia's face flushed slightly.
Murakami Shizuko snorted coldly and slapped away Shiracha Natsuko's hand. "Alright, alright, stop massaging. Your massage technique isn't even as good as a seven or eight-year-old girl's. Go do your own thing."
"oh."
Watching the girl enter the room with her head down, the woman sighed deeply.
If Natsuko continues with this personality, what will happen to her when she grows up?
Inside the room, Bai Cha Xiazi locked the door from the inside and hurriedly rushed to the alarm center sent by CCSA.
She really sped up and sped up the whole way, but when she arrived at her destination, the entire adjudication team was already there, and she was the last one to arrive.
The pale green magical girl beside her glanced at her and complained, "Yu Ming, why are you always the last one to arrive? Can't you have any team spirit?"
"Exactly! Aside from being late for every battle, how come your magical girl level is still the same after all this time? Hasn't even managed to get a single magic stone?"
"Exactly, it's always because of you that we slow down the entire adjudication team. It's so annoying."
"6
'
Faced with her companions' accusations, magical girl Yu Ming stood aside with her head down, even though she was the one who was late the fewest times in the group!
And the reason I don't have any magic stones to upgrade is because you, Qingmang, secretly begged me to lend you mine for a breakthrough. But after you advanced, you never even thought about returning the borrowed magic stones.
Seeing that the magical girl Yu Ming didn't object, the cherry blossom mage shook her head slightly, interrupting the pale green magical girl who was about to continue, "Alright, alright, stop talking. This is an emergency mission."
Upon hearing the Sakura Mage speak, the magical girl beside him immediately fell silent.
"Captain, why is there a mission so late at night? Has the Abyssal Beast stormed the Prime Minister's residence?"
The pale green magical girl said somewhat reluctantly that she could understand if the calamity occurred during the day, but if it happened at night, it would be considered overtime for her.
It's so late at night, why don't ordinary people stay at home and go out to get themselves killed?
The Sakura Mage shook her head, her delicate face somewhat gloomy. "It's not the Prime Minister's residence, it's the Asagaya area. I heard that a certain gang wanted to use the power of the Abyss Beast to expand their territory, but they were killed by the Abyss Beast instead."
"The Abyssal Beast is currently wreaking havoc in the Aso Valley area, causing numerous casualties!"
"Holy crap, is this gang crazy? They actually dare to raise Abyss Beasts!" the orange-haired magical girl beside her exclaimed angrily.
"Captain, do you know what kind of abyssal monster this is?" the pale blue magical girl asked.
"I don't know. The situation at the scene is very chaotic. We haven't received any specific updates yet. However, the higher-ups have given a strict order: we absolutely cannot let this Abyss Beast escape, and we must capture it alive."
"what?"
Upon hearing the mission details, several question marks slowly appeared above the heads of the magical girls.
The Sakura Mage glanced at them. "I know you're unhappy, but the rewards for this emergency mission are quite generous. You can check your CCSA accounts; you should each have received 10000 merit points. And that's only one-fifth of the mission rewards."
With a few thumping sounds, the members of the Sakura Judgment Squad smiled excitedly: "Captain, what are we waiting for? Let's get ready to go!"
"Um."
In the darkness, several streaks of rainbow light flashed by, but the magical girl Yu Ming looked at the location of the destination, feeling slightly uneasy.
