The Summer Festival Is About to Begin

But in fact, Cong Yu had already noticed it.

He even checked whether the chat he was holding was the kind that could be seen by others... Only after confirming that it was okay did he allow Yaochuan Guang to approach.

"Mmm... mmm..."

Yaochuan Guang was spying, deliberately making noises to remind Cong Yu that he was about to peek... To be honest, she was quite cute like that.

However, this time the Cong Yu didn't block the phone.

"Gareth Yuan'an ...isn't that Yuan'an- senpai's older brother?"

Yaochuan Guang, somewhat surprised, asked, puzzled, "Strange, how do you know Cong Yu- chan...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Yaochuan Guang suddenly remembered that Cong Yu had visited the Yuan'an family before, mentioning that she was some kind of eccentric...

But there was no follow-up for a long time, so she forgot about it.

Realizing that Cong Yu didn't object to his spying and instead started touching his head, Yaochuan Guang began to watch Cong Yu's chat without restraint.

Then, at first glance, it made her a little nervous.

"Over 300 jin?"

Slightly surprised, Yaochuan Guang continued looking down and then commented, "Oh, their values align with those of Yuan'an's older brother. They seem to be having a great chat... Ah, isn't that good? Making friends is always a good thing."

Cong Yu nodded in satisfaction at Yaochuan Guang's words, whose values aligned with her own. "Yes, it's always good to have more friends."

Even if we can't be friends, we have to force ourselves to be friends.

"Furthermore, if you truly like someone, you can change yourself very quickly... someone urging you to..."

If you keep making progress, losing weight won't be difficult.

Yaochuan Guang spoke, he looked away, stuck out his bottom to push Little Lan aside, and sat between Cong Yu and Lantian Zhu, putting his arms around their shoulders and embracing them on either side.

"Spending time with cheerful people can make even gloomy people become more cheerful, don't you think, Cong Yu- chan?"

"..." Why are you asking me that?

Cong Yu rolled her eyes and slapped Yaochuan Guang's hand away; "That's not necessarily true. Because I've spent a lot of time with idiots, I haven't become stupid."

Yaochuan, the Idiot, Guang: "???"

--

"It's so lively outside..."

Xiao Cui blinked, her eyes sparkling as she looked outside. "The streets are all decorated with lanterns and colorful flags! Is it going to be Summer Festival?"

Yes, just as Xiao Cui said.

On the streets outside Wind City, many lanterns, banners and other decorations have appeared, adding to the festive atmosphere and reminding people that the Summer Festival is approaching.

It's clearly visible that many food stalls have started preparing...

However, it wasn't held at everyone's residences, but rather at Thousand-Li Plaza, where the banners were simply to enhance the festive atmosphere.

"Yes, the Summer Festival."

Cong Yu answered, resting his chin on his hand and eating chocolate as he replied, "It will be held tomorrow at Thousand-Li Plaza."

Speaking of summer vacation, there are some holidays worth noting.

Well, generally speaking, everyone pays a lot of attention to the "Summer Festival," which is usually held between mid-July and late August each year.

Enjoy watching the fireworks display and participating in temple Xiao You.

And then there's the yukata...

It's worth mentioning that Cong Yu doesn't go to temple fairs... at least she wouldn't participate in them before.

Because of the Summer Festival, it would be too boring to just wander around and play by yourself, making it seem like you're trying to "enjoy solitude".

Just as he wouldn't go to an amusement park alone, he wouldn't go to Summer Festival alone either... Buying some candied apples to distribute at the company headquarters would be enough.

Unfortunately, the magical girls clearly had different opinions.

"Cong Yu- chan! Cong Yu- chan! Do you have a yukata? I've never seen you wear one before... Should I buy you one?"

Yaochuan Guang asked this question, then looked at Xiao Cui: "I also bought a few yukatas for Xiao Cui to wear at the Summer Festival."

Why didn't they even ask if I was participating, but immediately asked if I had a yukata...? Actually, I did.

As Cong Yu nodded helplessly, Xiao Cui also nodded. "Yes, Brother Cong Yu doesn't have a yukata... I know!"

Wait a minute, how did you know that?!

Are you a cockroach in my closet? Should I prepare more mothballs?

I have a yukata.

With that, Cong Yu declined Yaochuan Guang's offer and stopped her from excitedly opening her phone to select men's yukata styles.

Then, Cong Yu simply said, "It seems that when I took it to the dry cleaners before, a large snow leopard with slanted eyes and a white forehead borrowed it on the way. I'm going to ask it for it back now."

(Tiger:???)

With that, Cong Yu walked out of the living room, indicating that she would be right back.

Lantian Zhu thought that Cong Yu's nonsense was too far-fetched.

Yaochuan Guang almost immediately exclaimed, "As expected of Cong Yu, he actually has a snow leopard friend."

Lantian Zhu: "???"

Amidst Lantian Zhu's confusion, Xiao Cui nodded in agreement, "Yes, I thought Brother Cong Yu only knew cats, dogs, sparrows, and crows. I never imagined he had such a relationship with Xue Bai."

Lantian Zhu: Seriously?

Lantian Zhu hesitated for a moment, then pondered Cong Yu's character design... Hmm, it does seem quite possible.

With so many animal friends in the Cong Yu, who knows, maybe there really is a snow leopard among them?

Gradually, Lantian Zhu began to believe that Cong Yu had gone to ask his snow leopard friend for his yukata back... Yes, she believed it.

It seems to be a side effect of shifting one's focus of thought to the lower body...

It has appeared!

Chapter 198 The Summer Festival is About to Begin

The Summer Festival starts in the afternoon... When it gets a little dark, the summer celebration festival will be held at Thousand-Li Plaza.

The reason it starts in the afternoon, rather than the whole day, is because...

Yes, it's because quite a few people have to go to work... Although students are on holiday, working people don't have this kind of good thing.

Unfortunately for the magical girl...

"Ah! Problem solved!"

Yaochuan Guang shouted, her left arm already gone, letting the blood drip onto the ground, and exchanged a glance with Lantian Zhu.

Because of the strange incident, she had to come out with Little Lan to quickly resolve the situation.

This weirdo is pretty powerful...

Well, at least compared to the average strength of Wind City, it's still quite impressive.

"..." Lantian Zhu glanced at Yaochuan Guang's injury, nodded, and said, "Let's go back. Don't keep Cong Yu and Xiao Cui waiting too long."

In response to Lantian Zhu's words, Yaochuan Guang returned home, waving as he did so. "Everyone! The monster has been dealt with! Magical Girl Shining☆-chan! She's protected Wind City's safety once again!"

For Yaochuan

Upon hearing this, the residents of Wind City, who had been hiding nearby, cheered, "Great!"

"Magical Girl Shining☆Chan!"

"Shining☆Shining☆ Blue Sky ☆ Blue Sky"

"..." On the way back, Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but complain, "Why did this strange attack have to happen today, and with such a powerful one at that? Don't they celebrate holidays?"

Upon hearing Yaochuan Guang's words, Lantian Zhu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, "Probably, people who can happily enjoy holidays are unlikely to become weirdos."

That seems to make a lot of sense.

"Besides, today's monster was actually quite weak... Little Guang, you underestimated it. You always underestimate your opponents during battles."

But there's nothing we can do about it...

Because along the way, Yaochuan Guang hardly encountered any monsters that would put her in a difficult situation... at most, they would just blow off half of her body.

Moreover, when he first met Cong Yu, during their earpiece communication, he also taught Little Guang many formulaic playing techniques.

Once the formula is applied, Yaochuan Guang's tactical thinking basically crushes those weirdos who commit evil deeds at will...

However, Lantian Zhu believes that applying too many formulas will make one less intelligent.

In low to mid-level battles, this can result in an overwhelming victory. However, if you encounter an Executive Tier monster, it might actually have the opposite effect.

Hmm... I probably still wouldn't be able to beat them even without using the formula.

As for what Lantian Zhu said, Yaochuan Guang readily admitted it.

"I did underestimate them a bit... but this fighting style is very effective. I stretch out my left hand to catch their explosives, then gather my right hand for a fatal blow and eliminate the monster instantly."

Yaochuan Guang recited the fighting technique Cong Yu Church her long ago, as if chanting the Bible: "At most, you'll lose an arm, or half your body."

That's certainly true.

While it would be terrible if she didn't kill with a single blow, it's a different story since the magical girl doing this has teammates.

The strange man's expression before he died was one of shock.

There's no "blocking the attack" process; it's a straightforward "I'm hurt, you die!" interaction.

Yaochuan Guang himself is quite skilled at this style of play.

Because her technique is very powerful, and she's not particularly good at dodging... that's probably the reason why she can injure dogs so effectively.

And...

"..." Lantian Zhu glanced at Yaochuan Guang's wound. She could see that... there was already granulation tissue twisting and turning on Yaochuan Guang's arm.

By the time the two of them get home, Yaochuan Guang's arm will probably have grown back.

"Little Guang, your recovery ability seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

Upon hearing Lantian Zhu's words, Yaochuan Guang glanced at his hand and touched his wound. "Ouch, that hurts..."

Then she paused... and then touched it again.

"Hiss... it hurts."

Yaochuan Guang, who had been speaking in a silly manner, withdrew his mischievous right hand and said with satisfaction, "I didn't realize it myself, but that just means I'm getting stronger, right? Haha!"

Lantian Zhu remained skeptical about this.

It's less about becoming stronger... and more like a mutation.

--

"Cong Yu- chan, we're back!"

Yaochuan Guang shouted and opened the door.

"You're back."

Lantian Zhu casually echoed, his face expressionless.

"..."

"Oh, welcome back."

Cong Yu responded, sitting simply on the sofa in a plain black bathrobe, the wide hem of which hung down casually and swayed gently as he waved his hand.

The history of Japan yukatas can be traced back to the Heian period, when they were simple garments worn by nobles while bathing.

As time went on, the use of yukata gradually expanded, and many people even wore yukatas to sleep.

Edo period, yukatas also moved beyond the realm of bathing and began to exist as "convenient" clothing, with people wearing them to enjoy flowers or participate in events.

Along with the booming development of the "cotton manufacturing industry".

Yukatas have moved beyond the realm of the aristocracy and become accessible to the general public... Therefore, the yukata industry may need to thank Nigo for his efforts.
