Chapter 48 Eating hot pot and singing songs
"This is Field Task Force A. The wetland park has been completely cleared!"
"Field Team B received. Traffic control is in effect on the perimeter. Please evacuate immediately. Over."
In the evening, at the entrance of Rongcheng Wetland Park, the Heroes Association's cordon was surrounded by layers of caution tape.
Hyacinth and Iris sat in a makeshift combat tent next to the communications vehicle, with a video of unclear image playing on the screen in front of them.
"Xin Yuehu posted an update at noon, claiming that she has prepared 'little gifts' for you at the wetland park."
"I do know that."
"But no one expected that she would actually summon a monster in the wetland park, and this time she didn't show herself, so you need to be careful."
"Yes, we'll be careful," Hyacinth nodded.
The alert about the strange person was issued an hour ago.
The two were on their way home from school when they received the news and rushed over immediately.
However, the strange man did not launch an attack. Instead, he quietly waited for the Hero Association to evacuate the tourists from the wetland park, and there has been no movement from him until now.
"What does that strange person look like? Is there any eyewitness information?"
"Yes, several tourists took pictures of the strange man appearing, but only a vague outline could be made out."
Video switching.
A gigantic, mountain-sized monster appears in the video footage, and the person filming screams and runs away, the image quickly blurring.
Although it is very short, it is enough to identify the shape.
It wasn't as big as the giant monster in the amusement park, but it was still bigger than all the monsters he had ever dealt with before.
This also fits the characteristics of the monsters summoned by Heart Moon Fox—huge size and immense strength.
They might even be hiding some strange and unusual abilities.
"We must deal with it as soon as possible. Where is it now?" Hyacinth said, standing up.
"The lotus pond in the center of the wetland park should still be there. Please be careful, both of you."
"Don't worry, we've got your back."
Hyacinth said confidently.
The iris remained silent, but followed the hyacinth's lead, stood up, left the tent, and walked towards the wetland park as dusk deepened.
As it ventured deeper into the area, the hyacinth quietly observed its silent companion.
Although Hana Rin is usually very quiet, she was unusually quiet today.
She is always quiet and withdrawn during class, and her absent-mindedness is getting worse every day, which is very worrying.
What exactly happened to Hua Ling? Nan Xiaofeng was also completely baffled.
Perhaps she's not quite comfortable with being a magical girl.
I said, iris.
“…………”
"iris!"
"...Huh? Ah! Yes, is there something you need?"
Hyacinth's voice rose a few octaves, finally bringing Iris back to reality from her daze.
"You've been acting very strange lately! Extremely strange!"
"Um...sorry..."
The iris didn't dare to argue and silently lowered its head.
Karin herself was well aware that she was in a very bad state.
He would daydream during class, and after class he would just sit at his desk in a daze, lacking any energy.
And that song that seemed to be sung just for me.
Thinking of this, the iris felt inexplicably depressed.
What is she thinking?
"Sigh...it's all that Heart Moon Fox's fault!"
Hyacinth stomped her foot hard, choosing to vent all her anger on Heart Moon Fox.
It's all that cunning fox's fault!
If she hadn't been watching over Hualing and causing her trouble, the iris wouldn't be in this state now!
"Don't be angry, Hyacinth... I'm sorry... It's all my fault..." the Iris said timidly.
"I'm not blaming you, but since you're not feeling well, it would be dangerous for you to fight the monster again!"
Hyacinth's tone became more stern.
"Cheer up! We must take this weirdo down nicely today!"
"……Um!"
Iris nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and her eyes hardened.
Hyacinth was right; I couldn't continue like this.
After overcoming the current difficulties, I must find a way to adjust my mental state.
But who can I confide in?
Xiao Feng could offer very little advice, and Bai Ling, as a stargazer, couldn't offer any normal suggestions either. They weren't very familiar with the Hero Association's liaison personnel.
In this way, one's options become very limited.
—Where is Sister Tianqing?
For no apparent reason, this name popped into Hua Ling's mind.
Su Tianqing, a friend of Sister Xiaoyu, is an adorable golden fox.
It was her words that solidified her resolve to become a magical girl to protect everyone; perhaps Sister Tianqing could offer her some advice.
Thinking of this, Hua Ling gripped her pure white magic wand tightly and nodded slightly.
Let's contact them tonight.
But for now... let's deal with this weirdo first!
The two of them looked at the disgusting monster covered in mud in the lotus pond.
"A strange person was sighted!"
Hyacinth shouted, drawing her greatsword and holding it horizontally in front of Iris.
"Iris, provide fire support!"
"I'm in!!"
.
.
Meanwhile, in the commercial district of Chengdu.
"Wow! It's so spicy! So spicy! So spicy!"
In the Haidilao hot pot restaurant, Golden Fox, with its tongue sticking out and eyes full of tears, took a glass of lemonade from Nan Jiayu, who was trying hard to suppress a laugh.
"Glug glug glug glug—"
"Pfft!... Waaah, I'm alive again..."
"...Pfft hahaha."
Looking at the little fox across the table, holding a lemonade and looking completely relieved, Nan Jiayu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Little Fish, what are you laughing at!"
Su Tianqing's eyes were brimming with tears from the spiciness, and she cried out loudly.
"Tianqing, aren't you a local from Chengdu?"
"Of course I'm a local... but even locals can't eat spicy food," Fox pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Then he dipped his chopsticks into the tomato soup pot, picked up a piece of fish tofu, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth, his expression quickly turning blissful.
"Mmm~"
Nan Jiayu smiled gently, picked up two slices of meat from the spicy pot, and savored them carefully.
I had a lot of fun today.
Recalling her shopping trip that afternoon, Nan Jiayu couldn't help but smile.
They tried on a lot of winter and spring clothes at the clothing store, bought some suitable clothes and shoes, and happened to find a movie they wanted to see, so the two of them bought tickets and went into the cinema to enjoy a blockbuster.
It was already five o'clock when we came out of the movie, so we rushed to the hot pot restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal.
Then I witnessed the poor fox who couldn't eat spicy food.
"It's nice to go out for a stroll like this once in a while," Nan Jiayu said, swallowing the piece of meat in her mouth.
The little fox was tearing at a piece of overcooked meat when it heard the sound, looked up, and blinked.
"So, Xiaoyu, you don't need to spend all your time in the library. Going out and relaxing will help with your studies too."
Su Tianqing grinned.
"Hmm...that's true..."
Nan Jiayu gave an awkward, wry laugh and continued to devour his food.
Their eyes were suddenly drawn to the television in the store.
"Urgent report from the Chengdu Heroes Association."
"The strange creature that appeared in the wetland park has begun attacking the surrounding area. Magical girls Hyacinth and Iris are going to fight it off. Citizens in the vicinity are advised to go to the nearest shelter as soon as possible."
"Our station will be monitoring the situation on-site continuously. Next up is our reporter..."
"Wetland park?"
Nan Jiayu chewed on a slice of meat, watching the live broadcast from the front lines on the screen, feeling slightly confused.
Lately, isn't the frequency with which Xin Yuehu summons monsters a little too high?
