Secret Meeting / The Magical Girl Association?

"Sent him away?"

The moment Ling Feng stepped out the door, Ling Xiaoyu suddenly leaned close to Lin Danyue. If Ling Feng had seen the wicked grin on her face, he would have definitely started cursing!

"Don't worry, President. You can trust me to get things done. But your little brother is really adorable. How about lending him to me for two days?"

"Dream on. I haven't even gotten to play with him myself yet. Hehe, anyway, call Xiaoya and the others over first."

At this moment, a girl in a black-and-white maid outfit was walking down the street anxiously. Oh, no—more accurately, she was a boy.

Not only did she need to complete the task assigned by her superior, she also had to endure the strange looks from passersby. Her heart was a tangled mess as she kept her head down and continued forward.

Most of this street was filled with internet cafés, milk tea shops, coffee shops, snack stalls, and other entertainment venues. It was the weekend, and young men and women loved gathering here to have fun. This was the perfect paradise for young people.

"Hey, look at that girl in the maid outfit. She's so cute. Is she doing cosplay?"

"What, are you going to go chat her up?"

Two young men were eating outside a food stall when they saw the girl slowly walking past. Their eyes immediately lit up, and their gazes practically never left her.

"How about we make a bet? Whoever gets her WeChat, the other guy covers this month's food expenses. What do you say?" one of them suddenly suggested.

"A bet it is. You think I'm scared of you?"

"You go first?"

"I'll go first, then. I won't be polite about taking this month's food money."

As he walked down the street, Ling Feng finally couldn't help complaining. "Where am I even supposed to buy that kind of thing? And she made a guy buy it for her."

What Lin Danyue had asked Ling Feng to buy was something used to deal with the monthly period girls had. What was it called again? Ling Feng remembered it being called an auntie. At first, he had thought her auntie had arrived.

Luckily, Ling Feng had a good memory. She remembered noticing a pharmacy nearby when they had driven over that evening.

"L-Little miss."

Huh? Hearing the voice behind him, Ling Feng instinctively turned around and saw a young man grinning foolishly at him.

The young man looked rather unnatural, like a creep standing before someone he liked, completely at a loss.

The moment he saw Ling Feng's face clearly, the young man was stunned. His mind went wild. Holy shit, she's so beautiful. How can there be such a cute girl? I'm so nervous, so nervous! Although he was incredibly excited, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"Miss, can I get your WeChat?"

"I'm a guy," Ling Feng said flatly.

A sweet female voice spoke those words, and the young man froze, clearly not believing it.

"Then... fencing?"

"Damn it!"

Furious, Ling Feng raised a foot and delivered a devastating kick between his legs! Accompanied by a pained scream, the young man collapsed to the ground, clutching his crotch tightly.

"I-I was just joking."

"Hehe, so was I."

With that, Ling Feng continued forward without looking back, leaving only the young man's stunned gaze hanging in the air.

"Holy shit?!"

In the distance, the other young man who had witnessed everything instinctively covered his own crotch. He looked sympathetically at the man lying on the ground and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Damn, that was badass!"

Secret Meeting

Inside the pharmacy, Ling Feng and the female clerk stared at each other for over a minute without Ling Feng saying a word. Ling Feng herself did not feel much, but the clerk was practically dying of embarrassment!

Looking at the beautiful girl in the black-and-white maid outfit before her, the clerk was internally going wild. She had worked here for years and had never encountered something like this. Little sister, just say what you want to buy already!

"L-Little sister, do you need anything?"

Ling Feng stood blankly before the counter, his mind racing. What was it called? How had he suddenly forgotten? He had thought his memory was pretty good, so why did it fail him at such a critical moment? Then he suddenly remembered something, and his heart leaped with joy as he blurted it out.

"A-Auntie!"

"Pfft!" After hearing that clearly, the female clerk could not help laughing. Even nearby customers passing by turned their curious gazes toward them.

"I can't, I can't. Little sister, say that again for me."

Ling Feng's face turned red. He knew he had embarrassed himself badly. He remembered it being called an auntie, so why was it wrong again? Were there other names for it?

"Then... menstrual pads?"

"Pfft!" The clerk burst out laughing again, laughing so hard she was nearly out of breath. Only after noticing Ling Feng's strange look did she force down her laughter and speak.

"Little sister, you're here for that, right? What's there to be embarrassed about? Just tell your big sister directly."

"What do you mean, that?" Ling Feng froze slightly. Then he seemed to realize something, and his pretty face reddened as he hurriedly explained, "N-No, it's not what you think. It's... it's..."

Ling Feng was so anxious that he was nearly crying, but he could not figure out how to explain it. He had a grievance he could not voice, while the clerk still looked thoroughly entertained.

"Alright, alright. Big sister will get it for you."

Ling Feng watched blankly as the clerk turned around, thinking that he could never let that woman trick him again!

Meanwhile, in a room inside the café, a group of girls in maid outfits sat around a round tea table. There were desserts and coffee on the table, and they chatted and laughed together. Though it was nighttime, they looked as if they were having afternoon tea.

The room was decorated mainly in pink. The pink decorations were fresh and elegant, overflowing with girlish charm~

Among them, the girl sitting at the head of the table was also dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit.

She was enthusiastically summarizing recent events with the other girls. If Ling Feng had been there, he would have recognized her as his sister, Ling Xiaoyu. Ye Qingya was also present, and the entire table was filled with harmonious laughter.

Suddenly, one of the girls remembered something and softly reminded them.

"President, should we be wary of Ling Mengxue? She feels like an unstable factor. She's even known as Star Dream Beneath the Moonlight. She's already the strongest Astral Mark Girl in Linzhou City."

"Yes, President. Even if she's fairly friendly toward us Magical Girls, she's still one of the Star Engraving side," another girl agreed.

Ling Xiaoyu fell into thought and felt that they had a point. Ever since Ling Mengxue had appeared, although she had not deliberately attacked Magical Girls, she had interfered with their plans several times. That was not a good thing.

Ye Qingya sat to the side. She felt that Ling Mengxue, this Astral Mark Girl, seemed to be maintaining neutrality. However, she had never taken any Magical Girl's points. Sometimes, when she saw an individual Magical Girl being surrounded and attacked by a group of Astral Mark Girls, she would even step in to help.

She should be a good person, right? Ye Qingya thought to herself.

"Hehe, how about we find a chance to kidnap her and bring her back for questioning?"

Head maid Lin Danyue smiled maliciously. Several others immediately voiced their agreement, and even Liu Jingyi, the owner of this maid café, nodded in approval.

Just as they were about to continue discussing it, a café employee entered the room. She lightly walked over to Ling Xiaoyu, whispered a few words into her ear, then returned to work.

Only after the girl left did Ling Xiaoyu speak.

"Xiaofeng is back. Let's talk again tomorrow."

"He came back so quickly. Looks like he bought the stuff." Lin Danyue chuckled and stood up to leave.

They had plenty of time, so there was no need to rush. Battles between Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girls required tactics too. Otherwise, if they just mindlessly fought, wouldn't both sides end up badly damaged and everything descend into chaos? That would be a waste of the Magical Girls' advantage.

Magical Girl Association?

When Ling Feng returned, Lin Danyue did not hesitate. She immediately went over and gave him a thorough "comforting," planting several kisses on his face in a row. Before Ling Feng could say anything, she hit him with another faceful of cleavage, completely silencing him.

"Did you get it? You worked hard, thank you!"

After struggling free from Lin Danyue, Ling Feng rolled his eyes and turned around to continue working. In short, today was another miserable day.

"Blueberry Jam is so popular. She directly topped tonight's sales," Lin Danyue and the others praised repeatedly. Ling Feng, meanwhile, was suffering beyond words. Hearing those shut-ins call out "Blueberry Jam" over and over had nearly made her sick.

Ling Feng was currently playing games with a teenage boy, which made her feel slightly more relaxed. As a boy, playing video games was something worth being happy about. How could she not like it? If not for her current job, she would probably be at an internet café with Zhao Ping and the others, preparing to play all night!

"Blueberry Jam, left side."

"Got it!"

The game Ling Feng and the boy were playing was a recently released competitive game called SOR. SOR was a large-scale game where players could form teams.

Only when Ling Feng heard Ling Xiaoyu calling her did she realize it was time to leave. The end of the year was approaching, and after final exams, Ling Feng planned to relax properly and give herself a vacation.

There would be many people here by then too. Whether she immersed herself in an internet café or went traveling, she did not want to come here again. It was too hard.

"Sis, I'll go change first."

"Change what? Don't you look great like this?"

Ling Xiaoyu grabbed Ling Feng's hand and tried to drag her away. Seeing the aggrieved look on Ling Feng's face, Lin Danyue and the others laughed so hard they could barely close their mouths.

Ye Qingya stared straight at Ling Feng with her beautiful eyes, as if lamenting how quickly time had passed. But it was no big deal. She would see her again tomorrow.

"Since Sister Jingyi is here tonight, why don't we go to KTV? It's still early. I'll treat, how about it?"

The moment Lin Danyue made the suggestion, everyone cheered and gathered around her. While speaking, Lin Danyue had Ling Xiaoyu drag Ling Feng back again. Ling Feng shot Lin Danyue a glare. Damn it, was this ever going to end?

"Since I'm the owner, naturally I should be the one treating the guests. Xiaofeng should come too. Why do you always avoid coming along with us?" Liu Jingyi held a folding fan in her hand, a teasing smile on her face.

"She's shy. She's embarrassed to walk around with a group of beautiful girls like us."

Ling Xiaoyu laughed in response, and everyone broke into delighted laughter. Standing among them, Ling Feng felt nothing but bitterness.

In the end, Ling Feng still insisted on changing back into his own clothes first, or else he would not go. If he stayed in this appearance for too long, he could not guarantee that he would not do something outrageous.

Ling Feng returned to the room and changed back into his own clothes, but his physical traits were still female. His long black hair draped over his shoulders, his face had not changed much, and his voice was still female.

He looked into the mirror. The girl reflected there was delicate and beautiful. Combined with his black clothes and white shirt, he actually looked somewhat handsome.

"Nothing changed. What kind of medicine is this? The effects are way too strong."

Ling Feng cursed under his breath. Just as he was about to leave, a sheet of red paper suddenly drifted down from atop the wardrobe. It was as long as a couplet, a long rectangular strip. As it landed on the floor, it caught Ling Feng's attention.

Since the end of the year was approaching, Ling Feng thought they had been writing Spring Festival couplets or something, so he did not pay much attention. He picked it up, and just as he was about to put it back, he accidentally caught sight of two words on it. His expression froze.

"Magic?"

Ling Feng opened it fully and read through it.

"Linzhou Magic Girl Association Headquarters?!"

Holy shit? Holy shit?? Holy shit!!

Damn it, after reading it, only the words "holy shit" remained in Ling Feng's mind. Her face was filled with surprise, shock, and disbelief.

After hurriedly putting it back where it belonged, Ling Feng shuddered. Thinking back on everything before, as well as the work she had done after arriving here, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

Dreams Like Drunken Water

After Ling Feng came out, she became cautious in everything she did. She could only hope these people were just doing cosplay or something.

After working here for so long, she had suddenly discovered that this was Magical Girl territory. As an Astral Mark Girl, hadn't Ling Feng walked straight into someone else's den?

If anyone discovered her true identity, Ling Feng would never make it out.

"Sigh, forget it. I'll take things one step at a time. Anyway, I'm just an ordinary person right now."

After thinking carefully, Ling Feng recalled the Voice-Changing Pill Ling Xiaoyu had given her. Damn it, that had probably been exchanged with points, right? How could an ordinary person get something like that? Was her older sister a Magical Girl too?

At that thought, Ling Feng violently shook her head.

"Too terrifying. No wonder she made that expression when I mentioned Magical Girls before."

"But since things are already like this, I can only be more careful in the future. Tch, I really hope there won't be a future."

Only after Ling Feng had changed clothes did everyone set off. Their destination was a KTV not far from there, so they walked.

There were more than a dozen of them, each naturally beautiful and gorgeous. As they walked down the street, countless passersby turned to look. Some even took out their phones to take pictures.

Caught among the group, Ling Feng felt uncomfortable all over. Lin Danyue leaned slightly closer and chuckled in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Could it really be like your sister said? Are you shy because you're walking with a group of beautiful girls like us?"

Speechless, Ling Feng rolled her eyes at her. Lin Danyue, however, beamed. "Don't tell me it's true? Then there'll be plenty of fun ahead. Hehe."
