Sunny Day, Magical Girl, Maybach

Okay, those are heavy words!

She's a magical girl, yet she said something like that so easily?

This feels... strange, no, that's not right! Magical girls shouldn't be like this!

"Please stop ruining the magical girl world!" she couldn't help but say.

"oh."

Then the girl with pigtails instantly changed her expression, and then stood up without changing her face.

"Sorry, I got a little too excited just now."

"...?"

"So what do I need to do for you to teach me how to cultivate immortality, senior?" Jiang Qing asked expectantly.

Li Jiangqun looked troubled.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that Master..."

She spoke unconsciously, then immediately realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.

But it was too late; Jiang Qing had already heard those two words clearly.

"Master?" She was taken aback.

Li Jiangqun's face stiffened. Although her master had not told her about hiding her identity, the girl, who had been brainwashed by novels, still subconsciously believed that it was a very secretive matter.

Moreover, it was a secret known only to her and her master.

Seeing the girl with the ponytail stammering, wishing she could strangle herself for speaking before she did, Jiang Qing knew it would be impolite to ask any more questions.

So she simply pretended not to hear, put her hands behind her head, and naturally changed the subject.

"Hey, senior, what are you doing waiting for the bus here?"

"Has the countermeasures department become so stingy that it can't even afford to spend this little bit on gas?"

"no…"

She couldn't very well say that she wanted to buy some Chinese medicinal herbs, but felt ashamed to have people around her, could she?

So she simply asked back.

"And you, Miss Magical Inaba, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for the bus here because I need to give a statement to the countermeasures department. What about you? You can't be here waiting for the bus too, can you?"

"And you still haven't answered me how you know my name."

Jiang Qing looked at the somewhat sullen girl with the ponytail and spoke truthfully.

"Because I came here specifically to find you."

"...Huh?"

"I not only know that your name is Li Jiangqun, but I also know that you live in Lijin Community, Wangyue Street..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Hearing Jiang Qing speak in the box language, Li Jiang felt a chill run down her spine.

"Hey, senior, do you have time now?"

"what…"

"If you have time, you can come to my house now, it's quite big."

"...Ah, no, no, I have something to do."

Seemingly remembering something, Li Jiangqun quickly waved her hands in refusal, but the latter said softly.

"There are magical girls."

"!"

Jiang Qing looked at the latter's surprised expression and chuckled mischievously.

"They're all magical girls except me, they're probably all visiting my house right now."

"Huh? But why?"

"It's a magical girl tea party."

Jiang Qing explained.

"The magical girls who joined our Chinese Extraordinary Affiliation have a gathering at my house every Saturday. Senior, would you like to come and check it out?"

To be honest, no matter how much Jiang Qing said before, it wasn't as tempting as seeing other "magical girls" as it was to Li Jiangqun.

Even now, she finds it difficult to feel any aversion towards the twin-tailed girl in front of her.

At most, I just felt that the image of magical girls that I had built in my mind had collapsed a little.

Yes, just a little bit.

So, between buying medicinal herbs and attending the tea party to meet the magical girl, Li Jiangqun made the very "difficult" choice to go to the latter.

"good!"

But then she looked around at the empty streets except for the platform and said hesitantly.

"But if we wait for the bus now, it'll probably be quite a while, and I can't very well ask you to turn into a magical girl..."

"No need for that."

Jiang Qing smiled mysteriously, then skillfully took out her phone and made a call.

"...Okay, come over now."

"What's this?" Li Jiangqun asked, somewhat confused, as she hung up the phone after a brief exchange.

However, this minor confusion was soon replaced by a greater sense of bewilderment.

Just one minute after she hung up the phone, a black luxury car drove up from the street corner not far away.

The understated yet luxurious Maybach slowly pulled up in front of the two, and a polite man in a suit stepped out of the driver's seat.

He opened the car door and spoke naturally to the girl with pigtails beside him.

"Miss, please get in the car."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangqun looked at the girl beside her in disbelief.

But the latter simply winked playfully at her with his right eye before skillfully getting into the car.

"Miss, please get on the bus as well."

So she hurriedly got into the car and got off after several tens of minutes of smooth driving. Leaving the comfortable and soft seat, looking at the vast and magnificent manor in front of her, Li Jiangqun still felt like she was in a dream.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the motionless ponytail girl in front of her, Jiang Qing asked with some curiosity.

"...Miss Jiang, what exactly does your family do?"

Upon hearing her question, Jiang Qing shrugged.

"He's just an insurance salesman."

"And don't be so formal, senior, just call me Xiao Qing. Let's go to the tea party."

The girl with pigtails walked lightly along the manor's path, and Li Jiangqun could only follow.

After passing through the luxurious villa lobby and lakeside area, Jiang Qing led Li Jiangqun to a garden.

The garden is small, with a light gray gravel path, just the right size squeezed by flower bushes on both sides.

At the end of the path is a small terrace covered with a beige rattan mat. In the center is a small round wooden table covered with a checkered cotton and linen tablecloth with light blue patterns and delicate tassels hanging from the corners.

The air was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed flower tea. Four rattan chairs were placed on the table, each with a soft knitted cushion in a different color.

A small figure in blue sat on the left side of the small table, with a plate of macarons in front of him, a small piece of which seemed to have already been eaten.

Upon hearing footsteps, the small figure turned around, tilted its head upon seeing the girl with the ponytail, and seemed somewhat confused.

Before she could speak, Jiang Qing looked around and then asked in confusion.

"Huh? Where's A-Wu? Wasn't she here when I left?"

After hearing her words, the blue-haired magical girl spoke softly.

"Ah Wu found it boring and left first..."

"This guy..."

Jiang Qing rubbed her forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Um, Ah Qing, who is this?"

The blue-haired magical girl asked in confusion, and Jiang Qing then pushed the somewhat awkward girl behind her to the front and said with a giggle.

"This is my senior, Li Jiangqun."

"Senior, this is another magical girl from our Otherworld Society, Yuan Su."

"You can also call her by her real name, Ning Shaoxiao."
