How do you strengthen the conviction of a new Magic Girl?
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, as Nan Jiayu yawned, shuffled out of her bedroom, and sprawled onto the sofa to enjoy a knee pillow made of Fox Fox’s tail and thigh, Su Tianqing was pondering this very question.
But unfortunately, Ben Hu is very good at this kind of thing.
“However, putting Aurora through intense training unnecessarily is still a bit dangerous…”
Su Tianqing murmured to herself.
She still remembered how much trouble it was to successfully transform Hua Ling and Lin Muyao, and how difficult it was to make Hua Ling unleash her Star Shadow.
What? You’re asking why Hyacinth got her Star Shadow so easily?
Come on, this is a classic-style Magic Girl certified by the secret codex. As the protagonist, it’s only normal for Hyacinth to be the first to get a new form.
Su Tianqing couldn’t even guarantee that Hyacinth wouldn’t develop a new form beyond Star Shadow in the future, just like Cat Girl’s Black Hole Cat Punch.
“It seems not only does Aurora’s conviction need to be established, but Rabbit and Doggy’s Star Shadow also needs to be put on the agenda…”
Golden Fox felt immense pressure, muttering to herself while enjoying petting Cat Girl.
If only the secret codex could directly tell Ben Hu the truth about Star Shadow—you agree, right, secret codex?
The secret codex said nothing, only remaining silent.
Well then, Ben Hu will explore at Ben Hu’s own pace!
.
After breakfast, they spent a leisurely and affectionate morning at home.
After Nan Xiaofeng, who as usual slept in, also woke up yawning and ate, Su Tianqing suggested going to the temple fair.
“A temple fair…”
Nan Xiaofeng looked thoughtful.
“I heard the temple fair organized by the Hero Association is quite large; it completely took over two or three streets around the association.”
“Is it that big? I remember last year it only took up one street, didn’t it?”
“Oh, that’s because last year’s profits were super high, so they planned to expand this year.”
Nan Xiaofeng smiled wryly and spread her hands.
“Tianqing Jie, you might not know, but the Hero Association’s year-end bonus relies on the income from this temple fair.”
“I’ve heard about that. Then let’s go check it out, it should be quite fun.” Nan Jiayu nodded in response.
…
Actually, Su Tianqing always felt that there were very few entertainment activities during the New Year.
It was just shopping and more shopping, plus many shops closed for holidays before the third day of the Lunar New Year, which significantly reduced the fun of shopping.
Especially since she had no relatives to visit for New Year’s greetings, it felt even more peculiar.
Why does it feel like a dark joke?
Upon closer thought, it truly was. In her memory, she had been living alone in Rong City from the beginning, with no relatives to visit at all.
Xia Taotao was even more significant; Beast-kin of the Rabbit race would abandon the seemingly difficult-to-raise young after giving birth to a litter of small Rabbits, and she was one of those who was abandoned.
As for Fei Yelan, Hua Ling, and Lin Muyao… let’s not even mention them; they were all rescue subjects of the Hero Association.
The situation for the sisters Jia Yu and Xiaofeng was better; at least they still had their grandparents and father to rely on.
“So, all of us came to the temple fair?”
Nan Jiayu calmly looked at the three people in front of her and said.
“Yes.” “Because it was really too boring at home, so…”
Fei Yelan, dressed in winter clothes, nodded, and Rabbit Girl Xia Taotao also responded timidly.
Aurora, dressed like a girl from a fairy tale, was curiously looking around.
This foreigner, who had traveled all the way from London, looked at the various traditional cultural ornaments and decorations around her, her eyes shining.
“Little Sister Aurora, you look very cute today.” Su Tianqing said with a smile.
“Mm, Papa said that when going out to play with friends, I should dress nicely.” Aurora answered seriously.
“Where are Xiaofeng and the others?”
Turning around and not seeing Nan Xiaofeng and the other two, Su Tianqing curiously asked Nan Jiayu.
Cat Girl raised her tail.
“She said she went to another street to buy food; she has a friend who didn’t eat breakfast.”
“Then let’s start exploring from the middle!”
The group slowly blended into the crowd, strolling around the lively temple fair.
Su Tianqing preferred to call the so-called temple fair a large-scale New Year market during the New Year.
New Year goods that hadn’t sold before the New Year were piled up like small mountains and sold at a discount, and snacks like skewers and milk tea were endless.
There was even an inflatable castle for children to crawl through, allowing parents to enjoy a period of leisure.
—All of this was filled with a strong sense of novelty for Aurora.
Buying a pretty knot could make her happy for a long time, and a cheap hair flower could keep her happily fiddling with her hair for half a day.
“She looks very happy,” Su Tianqing said.
“Because it’s her first time at a temple fair,” Nan Jiayu complained, “I think the temple fairs in recent years have been a bit too repetitive; it’s pretty good as a snack market, though.”
“After all, it’s a traditional culture that has been passed down~ Ah, they’re selling sugar paintings over there! Let’s go check it out!”
Fox Girl grabbed Cat Girl’s hand and darted off, Nan Jiayu felt that Tianqing only had abnormal energy when she encountered something fun.
…
“They can actually make sugar into this… So amazing!”
Aurora held a sugar painting shaped like a Magic Girl’s wand in her hand, excitedly reluctant to take a bite.
Su Tianqing, holding a cat paw-shaped sugar painting, said with a smile:
“Do you like it? You can taste it, this sugar is very sweet.”
“I feel a bit, reluctant to eat it.” Aurora still couldn’t suppress her excitement and said with a smile.
That’s right, this is Ben Hu’s plan.
I call it—The Plan to Deepen the Conviction of Protection by Gaining the Beauty of Life from Daily Life!
“As long as Aurora can build an expectation for daily life and feel the beauty of life, a conviction to protect might be born.”
Su Tianqing explained this to Nan Jiayu.
Cat Girl nodded lightly.
“That is indeed a method; let’s try it first.”
“And we can also go out and play with Jia Yu at the same time~ It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
Fox Fox was straightforward, Cat Girl was shy.
While discussing the plan, Su Tianqing also talked about the evening’s activities.
“So, according to our plan, tonight it’s Rabbit’s turn to take Aurora to experience our daily fun, right?”
Fox Girl said to the pink-haired Rabbit walking in front of her.
Xia Taotao trembled, timidly looked back, and exchanged glances with Fei Yelan and Su Tianqing.
“Are you really letting her lead?” Fei Yelan’s eye twitched violently as she whispered a complaint.
“Eh… Y-yes, do I really have to lead…?” Rabbit Girl pointed to herself, showing early signs of a social anxiety cyberpsychosis attack.
“Hey, Rabbit, what about your bold words from the last meeting! Cheer up!” Su Tianqing encouraged with a smile.
Rabbit Girl paused for a long time, as if she remembered something, and her drawing style quickly became messy, the three of them rushed forward to comfort her.
“In short, we need to let Little Sister Aurora experience the fun of our daily activities in an all-around way, that’s what makes it wholesome!”
“First of all, our activities are not wholesome at all!” Fei Yelan made her usual sharp retort.
Without giving Xia Taotao a chance to refute, tonight’s prank plan was thus confirmed.
I hope Rabbit doesn’t have too severe an attack tonight. Su Tianqing prayed.
