Poor Hikaru / 46. Fuuto Really Is Small

In other words, they have reasons to wait.

"Fine, we shouldn't expect you guys to have money... It wouldn't be good to let you steal, rob, or cheat, really."

Cong Yu sighed, took out some money from her wallet, and handed it to the leader. "Hurry up, buy me another meal."

As she said this, Cong Yu paused.

"Oh, and no Americano."

"..." How could anyone like to drink dirty water?

Chapter 234 Poor Little Guang

Can magical girls really get sick?

This is an interesting topic... Perhaps to study it, we need to start by discussing the differences between the bodies of magical girls and human bodies.

However, to put it simply and without making it too complicated... a magical girl is someone who has gained magical powers.

Therefore, if a "virus" or "poison" can break through the magic's defenses, then the magical girl will indeed be harmed.

Although it's after damage reduction...

I feel so awful.

Yaochuan Guang felt his head was constantly dizzy and he had strange dreams at night... He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.

That strange man's ability, whether it was a plague or a virus, tormented her terribly.

"Hmm--"

Yaochuan Guang struggled to get up, then opened her eyes... She had slept in her own room last night.

What?! The legendary separation!

That's it, the feelings have faded... But that's not the case.

It was Yaochuan Guang who took the initiative to request it.

Her main concern was infecting Cong Yu... She wasn't worried about infecting Little Lan or Xiao Cui.

It's not that I value romantic relationships over friendships or anything like that.

However, Cong Yu's physical body... at least in her opinion, is definitely not as strong as that of a magical girl, since it has only been slightly modified.

As a result, Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu both chose to go back to their own rooms to sleep.

For the first time, Cong Yu's room was empty except for Cong Yu herself...

From this perspective, Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu are surprisingly martial in this regard... or perhaps they have already accepted Yaochuan Guang their official wife (just kidding).

As a result, when Yaochuan Guang opened his eyes, he immediately saw Lantian Zhu staring at him, which startled him.

Then, realizing what was happening, he listlessly closed his eyes again.

"Little Lan, you startled me... Are you hungry? I'll go cook something?"

As Yaochuan Guang said this, Lantian Zhu reached out and poked Yaochuan Guang's cheek. "Didn't Cong Yu say yesterday that he would come to prepare breakfast?"

It seems that Yaochuan Guang is already confused.

Although things aren't much better normally...

"Did you make that Cong Yu sauce?"

Yaochuan Guang asked this question.

"..." Lantian Zhu shrugged and said, "He disappeared this morning. He left me a message saying he went to buy something, saying he knew a very authentic American fast food restaurant."

American fast food?

Why did I suddenly want to buy an American-style... Ah...

In a daze, Yaochuan Guang suddenly remembered that Lantian Zhu had indeed said yesterday that she wanted to eat pancakes and cereal.

"Pancakes and cereal... oh, Little Lan, really."

Yaochuan Guang complained to Lantian Zhu, whose demands were strange, and sighed weakly, "Cong Yu- chan too, going along with your nonsense."

Lantian Zhu was a little embarrassed by this.

Because she was just making special requests, as always...

It's nothing more than "seeing it on TV and suddenly having the urge to eat it," that's all.

Who knew that Cong Yu actually had a way to fulfill that request?

"Sister Blue Sky, what's a pancake? A cookie?"

Xiao Cui looked curious. She sat down beside Yaochuan Guang's bed and asked, "Grains... is it cereal?"

Lantian Zhu crossed his arms, pondering how to explain this...

As for Yaochuan Guang, who has a good understanding of cooking, he explained it in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, "Pancakes are something that is like a pancake and a cake at the same time. They are round, flat, and layered. Instead of cream, they are drizzled with syrup and filled with jam."

"The grains are a bit like oatmeal, but they're not instant; they're crispy like potato chips, and you eat them soaked in milk."

As she spoke, Yaochuan Guang seemed a little more energetic. She asked curiously, "The bakery in Wind City might sell pancakes. But I haven't seen any cereal in the supermarkets here... Where is Cong Yu- chan planning to buy some?"

Lantian Zhu didn't think too much about it. She helped Yaochuan Guang sit up and said, "Your understanding of Wind City can't possibly be as deep as Cong Yu's."

This statement is very absolute, even somewhat definitive.

If this were a true/false question, I would feel I could confidently choose (X).

However, no one present thought there was anything wrong with what was said, because it really was... well, now the student who chose X will lose points!

As Yaochuan Guang got up and went into the bathroom to wash up, he heard the sound of the door opening... followed by the sound of a paper bag being placed on the table.

There was also the sound of a box being thrown onto the table.

You could tell it was Cong Yu had returned just by hearing that, because he never liked to say "I'm back" or anything like that.

"Brother Cong Yu... um?!"

Xiao Cui first greeted Cong Yu, then there was a surprised and puzzled sound, followed by the sound of Lantian Zhu slowly walking into the living room.

"You're back? Oh... did you buy so much?"

Upon hearing Lantian Zhu's words, Yaochuan Guang immediately realized something was wrong... Cong Yu must have been wasting money.

Yaochuan Guang had actually sensed it before...

In fact, Cong Yu's income is quite high, but his consumption patterns and views are terrible, and he always inexplicably becomes poor.

However, if comics are now being adapted into mobile games...

Hopefully, they won't be unable to afford food like before.

However, with my income, I can support Cong Yu- chan...

Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang, still half asleep, walked into the restaurant with a coat draped over his pajamas.

What? You need to keep warm when you're sick?

Please, she's a magical girl after all...

Then...

Yaochuan Guang saw a table full of paper bags, and the smell of fried chicken, hamburgers, and sweet syrups wafted out...

The bag was covered in English letters that said "Wendyago".

The sheer number and variety of them are as if someone is about to record a competitive eating challenge video.

Huh? Wendy's Fast Food? Does Wind City really have one?

Yaochuan Guang feels that the Wind City is McDonald's's, and as for Wendy's... Central City should definitely have one.

Lantian Zhu was somewhat puzzled by this.

Do Wendy's in Japan really sell pancakes?

As he said this, Lantian Zhu looked at Cong Yu, wondering if he had bought it in United States. Probably not...

"Um, no... I asked a friend to bring it for me. They and the fast food restaurant owner are both United States, fellow countrymen."

Cong Yu looked very serious.

This didn't sound like a lie, but it made the three of them hesitate.

Although Cong Yu didn't lie at all when she said this, and that she really did ask a friend to buy it for her, and that the friend was indeed United States.

But in the eyes of the three, Cong Yu was...

Everything about her is great, except her personality can be a bit awful at times.

For example, they like to talk nonsense with a serious face... saying some really bizarre and strange things that you can tell immediately are fake, but you don't know how to respond.

Commonly known as a prank.

On the other hand, his friends are truly outrageous; he even has crow friends (see Chapter 142). Can you say he doesn't have any United States friends?

Therefore, Xiao Cui chose to believe Cong Yu.

So she got one point!

Congratulations! clap clap clap (Don't get the wrong idea, it's just applause)

Chapter 235 The Wind City Really Small

Yaochuan Guang definitely won't be able to go to school.

It's not that she can't go to school while sick... After all, she's a magical girl, so even if she talks about how painful it is, it's actually pretty much the same as a normal person having a fever.

Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the condition will not worsen for any reason.

However, for the ordinary students at school, Yaochuan Guang's existence must be very dangerous... They would definitely have objections.

(Ordinary person: I didn't... but this time I really have an opinion.)

Therefore, Cong Yu could only reluctantly skip school and stay home to take care of Yaochuan Guang... although she didn't take very good care of him.

"Moshi moshi? The homeroom teacher? No... it's not just me, Yaochuan Guang is sick and can't come... Hmm? You're sick too."

Cong Yu was on the phone with the homeroom teacher, asking Yaochuan Guang for leave. He seemed a little surprised. "Your dad's sick too... I'm perfectly healthy... Are so many people sick? Oh, um, I see..."

Then, Cong Yu, who was on the phone, showed a speechless expression again. "You should take care of yourself. If you get sick, remember to go to the pediatrics department."

"..." Then, Cong Yu ignored the homeroom teacher's painful wailing on the other end of the phone and hung up immediately.

"What's wrong, Cong Yu- chan?"

Yaochuan Guang seems to be in good spirits, and his complexion is getting better and better. He will probably recover soon.

However, things seem to be getting a bit serious.

"The homeroom teacher said that many people have taken leave, probably because they are sick like you, but with milder symptoms... It probably won't be long before they're on the news."

Before Yaochuan Guang could say anything about Cong Yu's explanation, Lantian Zhu, who was watching TV, said, "It's already on the news."

As she spoke, Yaochuan Guang, who was lying drowsily on Cong Yu's lap covered by a blanket, sat up on the sofa and looked at the TV screen.

The above is an interview report from Wind City TV.

[At 7:00 AM this morning, Wind City Hospital reported 32 more suspected cases of infection, linked to the virus caused by the strange individual. The hospital is currently under complete lockdown... According to preliminary statistics, the total number of infected patients seeking medical attention has reached two to three hundred, mostly minors and students with weakened immune systems.]

Symptoms included high fever, cough, and headache... The cause could not be found, but fortunately, the patient's life was not in danger, and the illness was not contagious.

In the scene, Wind City Hospital is packed with people queuing up, all coughing and covering their heads.

Their faces were horribly pale.

Then, a map of Wind City was shown on screen, with a portion of the area circled in red, indicating the location where the "infected monster" was destroyed.

Because it's located in the city center, there are a lot of people passing by.

Yaochuan Guang seemed a little remorseful, saying, "Ah, I miscalculated... I should have lured them to the outskirts and eliminated them."

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Cong Yu: "..."

Both of them were speechless.

"In my experience... it's better to eliminate them directly."

As Lantian Zhu said this, she felt a pang of sympathy for Yaochuan Guang's naiveté: "How do you know that nothing unexpected will happen during the process of 'leading him to the suburbs'?"
