CXnovel Chapter 275 Sharing with a Fox
Chapter 275 Sharing with a Fox
"My parents work in other places for long periods of time, and I rarely see them."
"When I was little, my older sister always took care of me, providing for my food, clothing, and education. She would also take me out to play during holidays."
"We've been to many places before, including Guangzhou, Disneyland, and even Shanghai. It was a wonderful time."
"But my sister went abroad to study and work ten years ago. She will occasionally send me an email to say hello, and she will also give me a living allowance every month."
Zixuan looked at the framed photo in Su Tianqing's hand and a happy smile appeared on her face.
It's obvious she and her sister have a very close relationship, Su Tianqing thought to herself.
But wasn't this time more than ten years ago... exactly when Inari retired...?
So, does that mean Inari went abroad to study after retiring from her magical girl role? It does give the impression that she retired successfully and focused on her studies.
Seeing Su Tianqing's focused gaze as she examined the photo, Zixuan slightly suppressed her smile and said softly:
"However, I haven't seen my sister for many years."
"Although we usually communicate via email, I have never met her in person."
"Huh? That's too exaggerated. You haven't had time to come back to China for more than ten years?" Bai Ling looked surprised.
"Um... but my sister often emails me to chat. She said she's quite busy abroad, and I'm worried about interfering with her studies, so..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zixuan spoke softly, but a hint of sadness still appeared on her face.
After a long silence, the girl parted her lips slightly and finally spoke her mind:
"...I miss her so much."
"I really want to meet my sister."
"I want to tell my sister that I have been accepted into Port City Academy, that I can now earn a generous salary from the Hero Association, and that I have made good friends like Aquamarine and the others."
"But... if I'm just trying to fulfill my own wish and it disrupts my sister's life... I..."
The girl looked somewhat downcast, as if she had thought of something. She leaned back on the sofa and said helplessly.
The two foxes and the sable exchanged a glance, but neither of them had anything to say to each other.
A child whose parents are away from home for long periods of time relied entirely on his older sister during his childhood. Even after growing up, he would still exchange emails with his sister, who even sent him living expenses regularly after moving abroad.
From Zixuan's words, one can tell how deep her feelings for her older sister are, even surpassing her feelings for her parents whom she has not seen for many years.
...She always had a feeling that any magical girl's family situation was probably not optimistic. Su Tianqing suddenly thought to herself.
"Let's talk about something interesting!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was turning into one of deep sadness, Su Tianqing clapped her hands lightly and took the initiative to bring up a topic.
"Since you're a local from Hong Kong, Zixuan, could you tell me where the best places to visit are?"
...
A leisurely morning.
As noon approached, they had covered most of what they wanted to talk about and learned as much information as they could. After finishing their snacks, Su Tianqing suggested that Zixuan get some rest, and then left with the well-fed white ferret spirit.
This white mink has a huge appetite! At least half of the snacks ended up in her stomach!
Heaven knows how such a tiny Stargazer sprite could stuff so many snacks in its belly!
I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time today.
"It's okay, I'm off today, and we had a very pleasant chat."
Zixuan stood at the apartment door to see them off.
The girl's nightgown looked rather thin in the cold wind outside, so she unconsciously wrapped her shawl tighter around herself.
"Take a good rest, Zixuan, and also cheer up. Talking with your friends can solve a lot of problems."
"Yes, I definitely will."
The girl smiled, nodded in agreement, and waved goodbye.
The apartment door closed gently, and one could almost hear her cheerful, light footsteps behind it.
See? My verbal therapy is really effective, isn't it? I'm practically a miracle doctor!
"Then we should probably head back now. Tianqing, do you know the way?" Yue Tianxin asked Su Tianqing.
"There's a subway and light rail, don't worry."
Watching the stargazers leave, Su Tianqing calmly walked into the deserted alley and immediately activated her teleportation spell.
The next second, Xin Yuehu appeared on the temporary villain's rooftop, holding the Xin Yue Magic Wand and conjuring a magical light screen in the air that looked like a writing board.
The information I received at Ziyingshi's house today was more than I had collected in all this time.
A fox mask was drawn on the writing board, followed by a line of small characters: "Inari".
Almost every incident I've encountered so far has the shadow of Inari, and all the trouble I've caused in Hong Kong was initially to clean up the mess left by Inari.
Although I now have a slight understanding of what exactly this so-called "mess-to-bread magic" is, it is a grand plan.
"first!"
The golden-haired fox girl drew a straight line and wrote a line of small characters at the end.
[The Beast Jormungandr]
The whole thing started because Miss Inari discovered that a colossal astral beast was slumbering beneath the port city.
There's a lot to say about astral behemoths; Su Tianqing could find at least ten pages of relevant information in the Stargazer's Encyclopedia that she had memorized.
First of all, all the behemoths are astral beings that exist in the form of magic, and without exception, they all possess the rare and peculiar term "super-gigantic".
For example, last time when Xiaoyu liberated the giant beast Leviathan in the battle against the Shadow of the Stars, it destroyed the twelve zodiac witches she had carefully created with a single Astral Cannon attack, which made Fox very angry.
In short, monsters called behemoths all possess exaggerated strength, and Jormungandr should be no exception.
"But all information about Jormungandr is currently in the question; all that is known is that it lies dormant beneath the port city, that's all."
Su Tianqing drew a few question marks over the giant beast's name and decided to leave it alone.
After Hyacinth and the others dismantle the barrier today, I'll go find the items left by Inari to see if there's any new information. Let's summarize the other things first.
【Thirteen Props for Inari】
Hmm... there's not much to say about this. It's just an item sealed by a barrier. It's engraved with memory magic, so it's like information that Inari-san left for herself.
After collecting these items, the secret manual will give you corresponding enhancements. For example, yesterday's tail comb unlocked the ability of "Inari's Magic Book".
Although the spellbook currently contains no magic, one day it will be inscribed with powerful astral magic. Su Tianqing looked forward to it with this expectation.
Next is the close relationship between Zixuan and Daohe.
They are not biological sisters, but they have a close relationship and deep affection. However, the latter has not appeared for many years for various reasons, which is quite a pity.
Perhaps we could work through Zixuan to contact Inari himself, but that would be too difficult and wouldn't meet our current urgent needs.
"Looks like I'll have to collect these items as quickly as possible."
Su Tianqing looked at the remaining few Inari props marked on the secret manual, and her fox tail swayed gently.
Let's focus on collecting the remaining items!
Obtain Inari's gadgets as soon as possible and gather more information so that you can make final preparations for the decisive battle against the Astral Beast.
"In that case, we'll have to get Hyacinth and the others to speed things up!"
Fox the supervisor will begin to oversee things seriously from today! We absolutely cannot let Hyacinth and the others continue to be so lax!
Now that things have come to this, Miss Dandelion, it's your turn to make your appearance!
