Chapter 448: Chance Encounters Always Happen
"Snow City? Travel-based learning?"
Nan Xiaofeng said to the person on the other end of the phone in surprise.
"Yes, it's an invitation from the Snow City Heroes Association."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Nan Xiaofeng naturally knew who it was—S-class hero [Electromagnetic] Qi Yun, the only encrypted communication contact person designated by the Hero Association.
"Perhaps you are unaware of the situation in Snow City."
Qi Yun continued,
"Snow City has long lacked magical girls, and attacks by monsters are rare. The team dispatched from Shen City can easily handle it, so this matter has not attracted much attention before."
"However, due to the occurrence of the magic storm, the number of strange attacks in Snow City has surged recently. Snow City urgently contacted the Stargazers to launch a large-scale screening, and finally managed to recruit two new magical girls."
"【Calendula】and 【Winter Dream Flower】."
"But the two of them are complete newcomers, and the pressure of combat is enormous. The team from Shencheng also doesn't have much combat experience, so they've set their sights on you."
After a brief pause, Qi Yun slowly said:
"The Hyacinth Squad accumulated a wealth of combat experience and numerous engagements during their time active in Chengdu, earning them the Best Squad Award last year and multiple individual awards."
"They participated in the Chengdu CBD Astral Jellyfish Blockade Battle, the Guangzhou Astral Rift Sealing Battle, and the Port City Giant Beast Annihilation Battle, and received numerous combat awards. They have gained popularity throughout the country and even the world."
"No, no, Miss Qiyun! Hehe... Um, what about the specific teaching details and schedule?"
Nan Xiaofeng chuckled sheepishly at the compliment and immediately inquired about the specific schedule.
Hua Ling and Mu Yao sat to one side, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads with helpless smiles.
Wang Xiaowang sat obediently on the chair next to him, with the fox spirit Yue Tianxin sitting on his head, their fox tails and dog tails magically moving in sync.
.
"In short... that's how it is."
After conveying the Hero Association's arrangements to his companions, Nan Xiaofeng gave a summary.
"This year's National Day holiday is 10 days long. The Hero Association has coordinated a training trip and invited us to Snow City to conduct combat training activities for the Marigold Squad."
"It's Snow City Dog! I remember it's been snowing heavily there lately—"
Wang Xiaowang wagged its tail excitedly, gesturing wildly in the air with its hands, as if describing a heavy snowfall.
"Let's treat it as a long holiday trip then, it sounds quite interesting," Lin Muyao replied with interest.
"I've never traveled to the north before. I've heard the snow there can accumulate to a super deep layer. Is that true?"
"We'll know once we get there," Hua Ling chuckled, her eyes also full of anticipation.
"Then it's decided! Let's go back and pack our bags first, and once Mr. Meteor has prepared the teleportation portal... we'll all go to Snow City for fun!"
"Yay!"
……
Sundays before the National Day holiday are always so unbearable, especially the make-up classes.
The students had no interest in attending class; they were all whispering and discussing where to go during the long holiday or what to do at home.
Nanjia fish is no exception.
Watching the catgirl humming a song as she packed her luggage at her desk, the gossip instincts of her three roommates, A, B, and C, were instantly ignited.
"Little Fish! Tell me honestly, are you going out to play with Tianqing?" Roommate A asked first.
"Yeah, yeah, I bet it's the beach!" Roommate B chimed in.
"There's not much to do at the beach this season, but hiking is a much better option," suggested my roommate C.
The three of them discussed it at length, and finally decided to focus their attention on Nan Jiayu.
"Little Fish, tell me quickly, where are you planning to go for this long holiday?"
"Ugh...you guys are really..."
Nan Jiayu shook her head helplessly and smiled wryly. She fastened her suitcase, straightened up, stretched like a cat, and replied:
"I'm going to Syracuse. I bought my plane ticket for this afternoon."
"Snow City!"
"Traveling to a snowy place would be a great experience. Tianqing's fluffy tail must be super warm."
"Does Little Fish often hug Sunny's tail?" "So envious—"
"What are you guys saying!"
The dormitory was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
The leisurely and anticipated Sunday of tutoring passed quickly.
In the afternoon, on the villain's rooftop.
Everyone gathered in the lounge with their suitcases, leisurely waiting for the magic communication.
"Ye Lan didn't have classes in the afternoon, so she flew to Snow City at noon."
Nan Jiayu flipped through the flying photographs taken by Fei Yelan along the way on the Communication Divine Stone and showed them to everyone.
Several little heads huddled together, watching the flight video projected on the magic screen, complete with Fei Yelan's voiceover:
This is the first time I've ever flown such a long distance. Since I started receiving magic from the Star of Greed, I don't feel like I'm running out of magic even when flying directly to Snow City.
Look, right below me is the Yellow River; it looks incredibly powerful even from the sky.
That mountain in the distance... I think it's Mount Tai? Those cliffs are amazing! I really want to climb it myself someday!
The video contained a lot of content, which even inspired Su Tianqing to create a new video program. She immediately arranged for the Palu familiars to start editing and adding background music.
You could even create a video column for Ye Lan called "The Big Bad Wolf's Aerial View".
"Ding-dong~"
A magical communication request came from the Communication Divine Stone, and Su Tianqing raised her hand to answer it.
"Doggy~ Have you arrived in Syracuse yet?"
"Yes, I'm setting up a teleportation beacon. Also, I'm a wolf."
"Then let's get ready to go! Doggy, remember to put the items I gave you around the beacon, otherwise some unsuspecting passersby might wander in and get hurt."
"Don't worry, I put it in a very secluded spot, no one will come near it."
Fei Yelan is very confident in her beacon.
Although she had a bad feeling about the "remote" place she mentioned, Su Tianqing still chose to activate the teleportation magic and disappear from the rooftop lounge with her companions who had already put on their warm clothes.
A flash of magical light streaked past.
What comes into view is a cityscape different from Chengdu:
From your feet to the horizon, everything in sight was covered by a blanket of white snow. Treetops and cars parked by the roadside were all weighed down by the heavy snow.
The golden-haired fox girl, who had never seen such a snowy scene before, excitedly raised her hands.
"It's a snow scene!"
Before the cat, rabbit, wolf, and Alice could react, the golden-haired fox girl darted away—
Now that we've arrived in the snow, it's time to perform Fox's signature move!
Fox takes a running start, Fox jumps, Fox protects its head with both hands and plunges headfirst into the ground.
"puff!"
A fox radish appeared in the snow.
Looking at the swaying fox radish on the snow and the fox's tiny paws kicking wildly, Nan Jiayu chuckled helplessly.
The catgirl stepped forward, grabbed the two kicking little feet, and with a little effort pulled the laughing foxgirl out of the snow.
"Little fish, come play in the snow too! Let's have a snowball fight!"
"Let's go to the hotel to drop off our luggage first, then we'll go get some dinner."
"Oh yeah, I remember there are tons of delicious food in Syracuse, and the soup dumplings are really good!"
"I want to eat the food in Syracuse." Aurora raised her hand in agreement, revealing a Londoner's craving for good food.
Xia Taotao, however, stared blankly at the snowy town before her, her blood-red rabbit eyes gleaming with contemplation.
The pink-furred bunny girl murmured to herself:
"This place..."
"...I feel like I've been here before."
