Opal

Moreover, even those who had seen it before, including Cong Yu, the king.

It didn't seem particularly unusual... everything was quite natural.

At this moment, Qili was completely convinced that the King of Wind City's personality was just as good as he usually appeared.

Is it kindness? Or is it easygoing?

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say "having a kind heart"?

It's like the love humans have for stray cats and dogs on the street... While it's undeniably high-minded, it's not annoying.

At least they are [cats and dogs]

Qili, with her self-awareness, could not reject this "love"...

"Hmm... uh."

Cong Yu rubbed her eyes, woke up, and then took out her phone to check the time. "..."

It seems we're almost in Wind City.

"Yawn..."

Amidst Cong Yu's yawns, Yaochuan Guang curiously poked him. "Cong Yu- chan, why are you so tired? Little Lan too... didn't you sleep well?"

Regarding Yaochuan Guang's question, Cong Yu answered very frankly, "I couldn't sleep in the early morning, so I went to buy drinks, and Lantian Zhu followed me, so we watched the sunrise at the beach together."

Qili:"..."

Wait, so it's just about watching the sunrise?

"Huh?"

Yaochuan Guang was shocked. She turned her head and glanced at Lantian Zhu, who was sleeping soundly. "Little Lan, you can actually get up?"

It's not surprising that Yaochuan Guang would have such a question.

After all, Lantian Zhu sleeps like a log every morning, and no matter how much you shake her, she won't wake up... The only solution is to pull back the covers and wake her up from the cold.

Did you actually get up early to watch the sunrise today?

Yaochuan Guang was a little curious about this and asked Cong Yu, "Is the sunrise beautiful? I've seen sunrises on the mountain before, and I'd only say it was alright."

Whether it looks good or not...

"It's alright, but the sunrise over the sea is probably more beautiful than from the mountains because the sea changes color with the sunlight."

Cong Yu responded in this way.

"Oh? I see... What a pity."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, she felt a little guilty for not getting up early... but she obviously didn't realize that Little Lan might have run away.

Although not much was leaked, it was just a little bit of plastering.

Moreover, at this moment, Yaochuan Guang did not notice that Lantian Zhu in the back seat had stopped snoring and quietly opened his eyes a crack.

Lantian Zhu was now absolutely certain.

Little Guang is such a silly dog... He has absolutely no defenses against the people around him, which is really great.

This is the perfect character design you'd find in a weird comic.

"Sister Little Lan..."

Xiao Cui squinted, feeling that something was amiss.

--

"Do you need it delivered to your place?"

To the kind-hearted Qili's farewell, Yaochuan Guang waved his hand, saying, "No need, this is enough."

As she said this, she helped the still-sleepy Lantian Zhu out of the car, waving with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of me the whole way!"

In response to Yaochuan Guang's words, Qili smiled and replied, "No, it's us on the other side. Thank you for taking care of us... Yaochuan, you're very mature in your actions."

Along the way, Yaochuan Guang had basically investigated and arranged everything, from hotels to other accommodations.

And it has proven to be indeed good.

The accommodations and snack shops were both very satisfactory.

Yaochuan Guang also has a cheerful personality...

She seems like the kind of person you'd be perfect for traveling with... You just need to have fun, she'll take care of everything.

Surely, the magical girl chosen by Cong Yu must possess some extraordinary qualities of her own?

With this in mind, Qili said goodbye to the others, rolled down the car window, and started the car.

How does it feel to be on vacation?

Qili asked her apprentice this question, and then she continued, "After we return to the association, I have some work to take care of and need to go out for a while. You stay inside the association and don't wander around."

Girl:...

Why is another teacher having to handle all the work by themselves? It seems like there have been similar situations lately... What's going on?

"Teacher Qili, didn't you always have me learn to handle some tasks? You always had me help you... Why have you changed your mind now?"

The girl analyzed, her eyes gleaming with intelligence. "Are there really so many secret missions that I can't participate in?"

Qili:"..."

When did my clumsy apprentice become smart?

I think there are two possibilities.

As the girl said this, she suddenly clapped her hands. "First, teacher, you might be plotting a rebellion!"

Qili:"!!!"

It can't be said that it isn't.

"Of course, I think the possibility is not high."

The girl then added, after a moment's thought, "Or, teacher, you're in love!"

Qili:"???"

The girl, speaking with an air of confidence, put her hands on her hips and pulled out a detective hat just like the one worn by Sherlock Holmes from somewhere.

Make a circle with your fingers, pretending it's a magnifying glass, and look at the Qili in front of you... Of course, it's more like a telescope than a magnifying glass.

Caterpillar pose.

"Teacher, you must have been secretly meeting someone... Tell me quickly! Was it a boy or a girl?"

The girl asked this with great interest.

"..." Qili had to admit her foolishness... She had mistakenly thought that her apprentice had actually discovered something.

Now she apologizes to her past self for her foolishness.

"My dear disciple, come closer, I'll tell you a secret."

"Eh? Nani? Nani?"

"..."

"Duang--"

Qili slammed a heavy punch into the girl's head, then grabbed her ear. "

I'll let you rebel, I'll let you fall in love...

The controlled girl immediately began screaming...

"Ahhh, teacher, please let go! I was wrong... I was just a kid and I didn't know any better, I know I was wrong!"

Chapter 185 Opal

This is Mysteria.

It is a mysterious world where "magical girls," "weirdos," and "gods" live together.

In the past, the dragon Bahamut nearly destroyed the world. But after the three races fought together, they finally sealed its power.

A thousand years later, the world remains peaceful and tranquil.

The story will begin at the Manaria Magical Academy in the Manaria Kingdom...

The cheerful magical girl princess "Ann" and the introverted dragon-type eccentric princess "Grea" live together at the academy...

"Little Lan, what are you looking at?"

To Yaochuan Guang, who was leaning over, Lantian Zhu, who was scrolling through his phone, simply replied, "Reading manga."

Upon hearing this, both Cong Yu and Xiao Cui were startled.

What?! Lantian Zhu / Blue Sky is reading comics in broad daylight? And she's even shamelessly talking to Yaochuan Guang /Sister Yaochuan about it?

Could it be that they've already given up?

"What comic? Let me see."

Yaochuan Guang leaned closer and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... hmm... I still prefer watching anime."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, Lantian Zhu turned the page. "It's Cong Yu's new manga, serialized in <Monthly Jimp Magic>."

Moreover, it's on the cover, taking up a large area, making it immediately noticeable that the <Manaria's Friends> comic is right in the center...

On one hand, CY-sensei is indeed talented; upon hearing about the collaboration on serialization, the head of the Monthly Jimp was all smiles.

On the other hand, even if the manga doesn't perform well, it's still a manga produced in collaboration with the Magical Girl Association, so Monthly Jimp will definitely give it preferential treatment.

"Wow? Isn't Monthly Jimp quite famous?"

Even though Yaochuan Guang didn't read manga, he had heard of this name: "Is Cong Yu- chan that amazing?"

Meanwhile, Cong Yu, who was sitting to the side, tapped Yaochuan Guang, "Actually, they had contacted me before."

"I used to collaborate with illustrators on websites, serializing my work there, and then I worked with publishers to create standalone volumes... I can't say whether I'm good or not."

"..." Yaochuan Guang doesn't know much about comics, so she doesn't understand, because she's not usually a comic book reader... She occasionally plays mobile games and rarely watches anime.

Overall, it's really impressive!

Is it pretty?

Yaochuan Guang tilted his head, while Lantian Zhu analyzed the situation with a calm expression, his eyes hidden behind his bangs. He then reached out and brushed aside the blue hair covering his forehead. "I don't usually read these kinds of comics, but this seems quite interesting."

Cong Yu: This kind of comic...

Xiao Cui: This kind of comic...?

Seeing Yaochuan Guang nodding in understanding, Cong Yu and Xiao Cui felt a little awkward... The opposite of this is naturally "that kind" of comic.

Cong Yu: "..."

Then, Cong Yu glanced at Xiao Cui... because he realized that Xiao Cui was just as difficult to control as he was, which made it even harder for him to control himself.

Why was Xiao Cui able to understand the subtext of Lantian Zhu's words?

Did Lantian Zhu secretly read comics at night, and Xiao Cui caught him and used something against him?

Cong Yu felt that this was not entirely impossible.

"..."

"Oh oh oh!"

Yaochuan Guang thought she understood (but actually she didn't understand at all). She looked at Cong Yu and said, "Yuan'an invited us to her house for a few days. Do you want to come along? Little Lan, Xiao Cui, Cong Yu- chan?"

Little Lan shook her head, indicating she wasn't interested, and Xiao Cui also seemed uninterested... She had met Yuan'an Alisa before.

She seems a bit slow, and I even thought she was Yaochuan's sister and Cong Yu's brother's child. I feel like only an idiot could play with her.

Xiao Cui thought to herself, glancing furtively at her sister Yaochuan.

Yeah, only idiots can play with Sister Yuan'an...

Where's Cong Yu- chan?

Cong Yu also shook her head.
