A breather

"A wonderful day should start with a hearty and energizing breakfast!"

In the kitchen of a large, single-level apartment on the top floor of a high-rise building in Northern Capital, Ai was holding a spatula, ready to go.

More than a month has passed since the liberation of Northern Capital. Nothing major has happened in this month. The only changes have been the relocation of some people back to Northern Capital and the return of the highest leadership group to Northern Capital to reorganize and coordinate the various tasks of recovering the whole country.

Bubbles was transferred to the central hospital of Beidu City along with the people who moved from Snow Pass City Northern Capital Northern Capital, and Truth also came to Northern Capital.

The Knight remained in Snow Pass City... Once again guarding a city alone, the Knight, facing the sincerity and loyalty of the entire city's people, was showing signs of a breakthrough.

In Northern Capital, due to the presence of a group of Magical Girl, a dedicated Logistics Department was established to support their operations. Everyone believes this is the predecessor of the Magical Girl Magical Girl Association.

And the place where all the Magical Girl are living now was naturally prepared by this department.

"You got up so early today? I thought you were going to sleep until noon again."

Soon, Thousand Blades appeared in the living room. She glanced at Ai in the kitchen, then at the wall clock in the living room, which clearly showed eight o'clock in the morning.

Seeing Thousand Blades's surprised expression, Ai pouted.

"What kind of talk is that?"

However, even while her eyes were on Thousand Blades, Ai didn't forget the fried eggs in the frying pan.

After arriving in Northern Capital, Truth and Mu Zhi, as newly recruited Magical Girl, perfectly demonstrated the enthusiasm of newcomers, going out to patrol early every morning and not returning until dark, to the point that Ai's carefully prepared training plan was useless.

The liberation of Northern Capital was the time when the residents of the city were most excited. Negative emotions from the outside world could hardly get in, and even the occasional Negative Energy in the city could only last for a short while before being completely dissipated.

So love naturally became a little lazy for a while.

During this period, she would occasionally visit Bubbles at the hospital or attend some important meetings in Northern Capital; the rest of the time she stayed at home.

She's clearly transforming into a homebody.

Breakfast is here!

Soon, Ai floated to the table carrying two plates.

The breakfast was extremely simple, with two sandwiches on each plate. Two cups of hot milk floated over with Ai and gently landed on the table.

Thousand Blades picked up the sandwich and took a small bite.

Ai's cooking skills weren't very good, and she couldn't learn to cook out of thin air, not even with her own abilities.

If it's about "combining" food with ingredients, that's fine, but if you ask her to do it herself, that's definitely a bit of a problem. Fortunately, making sandwiches isn't a very complicated breakfast.

"Oh dear... I'm about to get busy."

"Although I was a bit lazy for a while, that was because I had to wait for things to get back on track in Northern Capital... Now that we've finally taken Northern Capital, we definitely need to stabilize the situation Northern Capital before we can move on to the next step. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible to take one city only to lose another?"

Thousand Blades glanced at Ai but said nothing.

While the idea of love certainly makes a lot of sense, does Thousand Blades not know the truth of the matter?

Seeing that Thousand Blades didn't believe her at all, Ai pouted again.

We're back!!

The door suddenly opened, and Truth and Mu Zhi walked in from outside, then deactivated their transformation.

"Eh... By the way, teacher, why have I never seen you transform? Except for the day I awakened."

As soon as she entered, Truth poured herself a large glass of soda and gulped it all down.

Mu Zhi sat quietly at the dining table, but her eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at Ai. If Truth hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed.

Me?

He likes to cross his arms and pretend to be deep in thought.

"By the way, why are you back so early today?"

Truth curled its lip.

"What an abrupt topic change... We received a call while on patrol saying there might be something they needed to contact us later, so we just came back to rest... Anyway, there's nothing much going on in the city."

As mentioned before, this is the peak of the city's enthusiasm, so there's no need to worry about anything bad happening.

"It seems the counter-offensive plan has been basically finalized... It should start with a steady recovery of the eastern Coastal Region, right? After all, many important factories and other places are located in this region."

Seeing that Ai still hadn't answered his question, Truth's expression immediately fell.

But almost immediately, she thought of something else and looked at Ai with great interest.

"But if that's the case, does it mean I'll soon have many successors? After all, during recapture operations... I'll probably encounter people like us along the way, right? Besides, you can't just leave people to guard the cities you conquer, can you?"

Who knows?

Love simply watches Truth with a smile.

However, Thousand Blades is seriously considering this matter.

"The awakening of Magical Girl is too random; we can't directly incorporate it into our strategic considerations... Perhaps Magical Girl will indeed be born, but the timing often won't be what we want."

Seeing the slight disappointment on the faces of the two little Magical Girl, Ai gently hugged Thousand Blades from behind.

"Alright, alright~ Thousand Blades, why are you being so serious?"

"It's just a small wish of the younger generation... It's not something we should do to dampen someone's good expectations."

Feeling Ai's face constantly rubbing against her, Thousand Blades's face flushed slightly.

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

Truth blushed slightly as she watched Ai and Thousand Blades interact.

She was completely shocked when she first saw Ai and Thousand Blades interacting intimately.

Can girls have this kind of relationship?

Now, although she has gotten somewhat used to Ai and Thousand Blades's occasional intimate gestures, she still feels a little shy whenever she sees the two interacting.

Is this some kind of wondrous inheritance from Magical Girl?

Just then, their communicators all rang simultaneously, requesting them to come to the operations command center to discuss further actions.

"It seems we're really going to get busy."
