Chapter 113 Unpalatable Food
As soon as I got home,
Bai Yuze rushed into the room almost without stopping.
After changing clothes and removing makeup, I felt completely relaxed, now that I was a man again.
The clothes were packed up, and they were going to be washed when Bai Youqing wasn't home.
The sky had completely darkened, with dark purple rays of light surging in the distance, announcing the arrival of night.
He opened the CCSA communication app, and the group chat was very lively.
Kikyo: "Hello everyone, I'm Kikyo the Magician. I hope we can all look after each other in the days to come." Xia Qing: "A new member joined the group. Is she a junior?"
Bai Youqing: "No, she's a substitute teacher introduced by Senior Violet, the Kikyo Magician."
Han Xue: "Welcome."
Li Xuanyu: "A warm welcome."
Chen Yuyi: "A very warm welcome."
Xia Qing: "Huh? Surprised? [emoji] Is that the Kikyo-sensei I was thinking of?"
Bai Youqing: "Oh right, we met today too. Kikyo-senpai even signed autographs for us. [Photo.jpg]"
Xia Qing: "I want it too."
As the group chat gradually became more lively, Bai Yuze felt a pang of sadness at being abandoned by the times. Was Kikyo the Magician really that famous?
I used to be pretty awesome...
After a period of solitary grief,
He glanced at the time; his sister should be back soon. He opened the refrigerator, took out the necessary ingredients, skillfully picked up a cleaver, rubbed it against the bottom of a bowl, and quickly made a simple dish of stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork, stir-fried green peppers with pork, and tomato and egg soup.
The door opened the moment the bowl of food was placed on the table.
Not too early, not too late, just right.
"Xiao Qing, you're back. Wash your hands and eat." Bai Yuze set out the bowls and chopsticks and called to Bai Youqing at the door.
Bai Youqing changed into slippers and glanced at the food on the table.
Then she turned her attention to her older brother.
My brother has something on his mind...
My brother used to cook dishes that, while not necessarily perfect in color, aroma, and taste, were at least not as bad as they were today. He seemed so distracted, and the green peppers were even burnt black.
However, she didn't say any of this. After washing her hands, she sat down obediently in the chair and began to eat.
"Brother, I don't want to go to tutoring for the rest of the semester."
Halfway through the meal, Bai Youqing brought up a choice she had been thinking about for a long time: she didn't have much free time each week, and if she had to go to tutoring classes on Saturdays and Sundays...
She would miss too much of the magical girl training, and might become a hindrance in future battles, which was something she absolutely could not allow.
On the other hand, she believes that her self-learning ability is very good, and she has memorized most of the knowledge points from the first year of high school to the third year.
"Okay." Bai Yuze nodded, without saying much.
He would never have allowed it if it weren't for the Abyss invasion, but now he believes that survival skills are more important than academic performance.
"Huh?" Bai Youqing was a little surprised. She had guessed that her brother would agree, but she didn't expect him to agree so quickly. She had made a lot of preparations, such as report cards, teacher evaluations, and competition certificates.
If all else fails, resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
But this is good too. Now that her own problem is solved, she has started to care about her brother's mental health.
"Hey brother, I have a question for you, okay? Don't be angry."
"You're asking?"
"Brother, ever since that bad woman came back, I've sensed something's off with you. Lately, have you been torn between choosing Hoshino-sensei or that bad woman?"
Bai Youqing looked at her brother cautiously. The more she looked at her brother these past few days, the more strange he seemed. She loved the dramatic love triangles in novels, but in real life, it was better to avoid them.
"What are you thinking in that little head of yours?" Bai Yuze flicked his younger sister's forehead with a flick of his wrist. "Don't worry, I only have brotherly feelings for Ning Zixuan."
The frail Bai Youqing covered her head, looking at the unpalatable food in front of her, and really wanted to say, "You're talking nonsense."
What does it mean to taste like chewing wax? Today's meal is it.
"Alright, I know the food wasn't good today. We ran out of salt, so of course it won't taste good."
Bai Yuzhe sipped a few spoonfuls of soup, finished off the remaining rice, tidied the table, went into the kitchen, and brought out a few small breads to hand to Bai Youqing.
"Oh, okay." Bai Youqing took the bread and started watching the latest magical girl anime.
The magical girl Qing Ning in the second season is much gentler than in the first season, which makes Bai Youqing a little uncomfortable. However, the plot of the second season develops very quickly. Qing Ning leads a group of magical girls to appear in the East District of Haihua City to fight against the final BOSS, the Lord of the Abyss, Titan.
The massive abyssal monster, its entire body covered in hard and cold bio-armor, stands on the battlefield like a towering mountain. Because of its enormous size, it is revered by the world as "Titan," like a giant god in mythology, possessing boundless power and majesty.
The Titan's armor is equipped with a variety of advanced weapon systems, the most eye-catching of which is the missile launcher.
These missile launchers are like the horns of a dragon, sharp and powerful, ready to unleash a deadly attack on the enemy at any moment.
Whether it's infantry formations on the ground or air formations in the air, once locked onto by the Titan, they will suffer devastating damage. The Titan's missile bombardment is like a storm, and once launched, it has the destructive power to shake the earth.
Its deadly attack is like a thunderbolt; any special agents or magical girls who attempt to confront it head-on are instantly reduced to dust by its powerful blows.
Therefore, on the battlefield, facing such a powerful Titan, any magical girl must be careful, always vigilant, and look for opportunities to dodge its missile bombardment and deadly attacks.
However, that wasn't the most despairing part. The real problem was that towards the very end, two more Titan monsters appeared on the scene.
Just watching the anime made Bai Youqing's heart race.
The Abyss is incredibly powerful! And this is only in the anime. If it appeared in real life, how many humans and magical girls would die?
Recalling the last time Senior Violet took them to the eastern district of Yeqiu City, they saw a scene of devastation, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.
The enemy's strength made Bai Youqing somewhat worried and fearful, but when she thought about how her current substitute teacher was the magician Kikyo, especially since she had summoned a magical artifact recently, she felt relieved.
A fire instantly ignited in her heart, fueling her fighting spirit.
She believed that one day, she too could overcome all obstacles and be invincible, just like the magical girl Qing Ning in the anime, and drive the abyssal monsters out of Earth.
Bai Yuzhe was unaware of his younger sister's high spirits; he was washing dishes while pondering his plans for tomorrow.
Although I compromised my principles a bit today, I also gained a lot.
First, it has been confirmed that the calamity that occurred the night before last was related to the evil witch.
Secondly, the villainous witch's advanced technology has reached a level that neither humans nor the abyss could have imagined, suggesting that the villainous witch is secretly preparing to pull off something big.
Thirdly, the evil witches also have an organization under them that does dirty and tiring work, the Twilight Order, whose strength is not low.
Even if he knew before, he wouldn't have cared.
But this time, the other party not only threatened his own sister, but also almost killed his half-brother.
One provocation after another came right to their doorstep.
He had no desire to tolerate those rats from the gutter.
On his phone, he edited the message, hiding a small amount of irrelevant information, and sent the other information about the villainous witches he had obtained to the patrol officers Tulip and the others, giving them a general direction.
If nothing unexpected happens, those lackeys of the Twilight Mission are going to suffer.
With two lines of investigation, one overt and one covert, the inspector kept a close eye on the witch, while he launched a swift and decisive attack.
Bai Yuzhe wasn't worried about Tulip and the others' safety, as the magician Kikyo was there to protect them.
Why not make the most of such a good tool? The best scenario would be to let Kikyo and the leader of the Villainess fight like dogs.
It wasn't that he was petty; it was that Kikyo was too disgusting. She didn't chase any of the other demonesses, but only chased after him, from Yeqiu City to the neighboring Fangting City, then from Fangting City to Haibin City, and finally back from Haibin City to Yeqiu City.
They traveled back and forth across most of the Xia Kingdom, relentlessly pursuing her.
This is intolerable! If he weren't outmatched, he would have thrown the other man into the Abyss Hall and given him a good beating.
