Magical Girls' Vacation-Antarctic Star 2
A sound that is difficult to express with onomatopoeia was squeezed out of its throat.
Antarctic Star tries to persuade the young mother to hand over her injured cub.
Of course, the other party couldn't understand it. Penguins don't have a concept of language; their calls are just an expression of emotion and cannot accurately convey a certain meaning.
Therefore, this young mother not only failed to understand her good intentions but also yelled at her in a threatening manner.
"Giggle." (Goose language translation: This is really difficult.)
Antarctic Star couldn't help but mutter under his breath, feeling a slight sting from the beak of another bird of its kind.
She laid eggs, was a mother, and even traveled dozens of kilometers to catch fish for her young, but her children grew up healthy and independent.
It still wears a special goose earpiece in its ear, so it can hear the station's communications even when it reverts to its original state.
"To deal with disobedient children, just snatch them; after all, no goose can beat you."
As "parents," they actually encouraged the penguins to embark on a path of crime.
Antarctic Star sighed, using its massive size (for a penguin) to knock down the young penguin mother and take the injured chick from her back.
Motionless.
This little guy is practically on his deathbed.
Embracing its chick with its wings, the chubby Antarctic Star penguin deftly used its short legs to escape the nursery at a speed far beyond what Emperor Penguin should have.
Then she transformed into a magical girl, wrapped the weak cub in a scarf, and put it inside her clothes...
She started running wildly across the snow.
"The treatment is ready here; just take him back to the examination room."
Tang Rudu's voice came through the earphones.
Antarctic Star sighed, "Alas, if only there were a way to improve the intelligence of our race."
"That's obviously impossible, Antarctic Star. We must respect the laws of nature. The evolution of a species requires hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation. Direct interference will only harm your race... That's the realm of gods, and humanity is not yet worthy of being called that god."
"Perhaps injecting everyone with that 'Dark Energy' will allow them to evolve intelligence..."
What dangerous things have you been thinking about?
"I was just saying."
As a melee-type magical girl, Antarctic Star is very fast. She dashed into the entrance and exit cabin of the research station and then climbed up the stairs.
"I'm back."
In the examination room, the world's best veterinary team, consisting of two zoologists, had assembled and was waiting.
The situation regarding the little penguins will soon improve.
"It was a very small wound, but it was fatal in the Antarctica temperatures. Its mother's body heat prolonged its death, giving us a chance to save it... It was done by Adélie Penguin. Although most of the time they only pluck feathers, penguins' beaks are so sharp that pecking injuries are inevitable... Those bastards!"
After completing the initial treatment, Tang Rudu emerged from the examination room and, while holding Antarctic Star on the sofa, explained the cub's condition.
"If I don't Past today, you're not going to tell me anything, are you?"
"Yes, but that's the right way to do it. Do you know what percentage of Emperor Penguin eggs survive to molt?"
"Sometimes as few as one-sixth, sometimes as many as one-quarter... but one-third of the eggs in my race can grow into independent gentlemen and ladies."
Emperor Penguin
"That's right, it's just because of the giant screens you've invested in them, and the improved nurseries have increased the survival rate of the children, but that's not a good thing. When your population faces strong winds again, they may perform even worse than Past."
"I know, Mom."
Even the Antarctic Star understands.
The chubby female PhD mom next to me loves penguins and animals more than anyone else.
Anderson emerged from the examination room and removed his rubber gloves.
"The little guy is out of danger. Contact a marine zoo and send him Past."
"Dad, you've worked hard."
A barely perceptible hint of delight flashed across the France gentleman's face.
"As you know, the survival rate of chicks has always been very low. Some fathers even starve to death while incubating the eggs, resulting in the deaths of both the chick and the offspring... The survival rate of Emperor Penguin is already quite high, but the situation is even worse for your bad relatives, the Adélie Penguin. They are very likely to Extinction within ten years."
"Can't humans do something?"
"We will bring some to zoos for artificial breeding in order to preserve the species, but there is nothing humans can do for wild penguins... because we are not gods."
"Let's send her to Skyreach City via a wormhole."
"It can't get over Past."
"I have a way..."
With permission, the Wormhole Generator at the Joint Research Station was connected to the generator located within the Sky Branch.
A passageway was formed between the two, allowing for travel back and forth.
In theory, only magical girls can pass through unscathed...
"They've arrived."
Two small figures appeared on the other side of the wormhole.
Good afternoon... um?
I thought only Ceruno would come, but she brought along a familiar girl with a bob haircut whose name I couldn't quite place.
"It's not as cold as I imagined. Miss Antarctic Star, when have you been out for so long... oh, it hasn't been that long."
Ceruno wore her signature goofy grin.
About a week ago, I collaborated with the Britain magical girl to write a song for her, but the final was ruined by "the Other Side's" plan.
"Ceruno, that's a pity."
Although her words seemed abrupt and unrelated, Ceruno quickly understood what she meant.
"It's not such a pity, there was a second final match... and we lost it completely, even though I won."
Even the elite penguin girl with excellent logical thinking couldn't understand Ceruno's contradictory statements at this moment.
"So, where is the little penguin you mentioned on the phone?"
"Her name is Ceruno, right? Please follow me..."
Tang Rudu took Ceruno to the clinic to receive the penguin chicks.
But the young girl who came with her stayed behind to watch over her.
"I remember it was... Sister Shi Yi, right?"
Antarctic Star looked at her, searched his memory, and finally got the answer.
"That's great! Sister Antarctic Star still remembers me!"
"Yes, you are the previous Morning Star."
The two called each other "sister," creating a rather peculiar scene.
Shi Yi is a mature-looking little girl.
Even if you cut out the endless Rewind her garbage time, she's only fifteen years old;
Sirius was created only twelve years ago, so he is twelve years old.
But Antarctic Star...
She was hatched as a penguin nine years ago.
In other words, despite having the appearance of a seventeen-year-old girl, she is actually only nine years old.
Therefore, there is some truth to the idea that the two are "older sisters to each other".
"It's been such a long time. I never imagined you could have gotten over that day."
"That's all thanks to Sister Ceruno and Sister Miluno."
"So, you want to visit Antarctica?"
Shi Yi shook her head and said again.
No, I came to find you.
