Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 25 Daily Work
How can a group of ordinary people living in the shadows coexist peacefully with the creatures in the darkness?

Tang Zijun started thinking about this problem a long time ago. In the constant battle with the greedy people, he was also observing this familiar yet unfamiliar world.

Apart from those unspeakable existences hidden in the dark shadows, the world itself is not much different from before Tang Zijun traveled through time.

The people here still study, work, and get married, repeating their lives day after day like a clockwork robot bird. Similarly, they also experience complex emotions such as joy, pain, and sadness.

For Tang Zijun, this world is very similar to his own world. The only difference is that all the negative emotions here are materialized by some strange power.

Whether they are greedy or heretics, they are all maggots that parasitize this real world, constantly devouring the buds of what is called "human nature".

On the other hand, magical girls are a defense mechanism of the real world itself.

At this moment, Tang Zijun is trying to find a way to awaken this defense mechanism.

"Time to get up, Karasuma."

I knocked on the door for the third time this morning, and this time, there was finally a response from Tang Cao's bedroom.

Tang Zijun was also a little helpless, as if since Tang Cao got used to living here, she had completely let go of her nature, and waking him up every day had become his daily task.

I always feel like I have changed from a brother to a servant.

"Hurry up, your classmates have been waiting for you for a long time." After shouting again, Tang Zijun turned around and went back to the living room.

At this time, Su Siyao was sitting dignifiedly at the dining table in the living room, with her back straight, but her eyes were unconsciously glancing at the meat buns on the table.

Noticing Tang Zijun's figure, she quickly retracted her gaze and sat up straight, as if she had just been caught by the teacher eating snacks in class.

"Eat if you want. We steamed a lot of buns today." Tang Zijun waved at Su Siyao.

"Don't we have to wait for Tangtang to get up and eat together?" Su Siyao blinked.

"Don't you know her yet?" Tang Zijun asked with a smile, then pulled over his own bench and sat down.

In their house, the sofas are for guests to sit on. Even if there are no guests, that is Tang Cao's seat. Over time, the bench became his exclusive seat.

Picking up a bun, Tang Zijun continued, "It might be too late to wait until Tang Cao wakes up. I guess she'll just take two on the way."

"Oh." Hearing this, Su Siyao hurriedly picked up the bun and started eating.

A good day starts with a hearty breakfast.

In the past, Tang Zijun didn’t care too much about breakfast, because he always slept until noon. However, after he developed the habit of getting up early, he felt like something was missing if he didn’t eat something in the morning.

Moreover, Tang Cao is still in the growing stage, and her mother has repeatedly insisted that she must have three meals a day, so Tang Zijun now pays more attention to diet.

Today's breakfast is steamed buns with the leftover bone soup. It is said that if you eat noodles without garlic, the flavor will be half gone. Tang Zijun felt that eating steamed buns would be almost the same, so she specially prepared Laba garlic.

This pickled garlic is not too spicy, and even girls like Tang Cao and Su Siyao who don’t like garlic can accept it.

Originally, Tang Zijun was planning to make noodles. With bone broth as the soup base, it would be delicious if he just boiled some plain noodles. But when he was buying spring bamboo shoots yesterday, he suddenly smelled the aroma of meat filling.

Tang Zijun could tell from the smell that the minced meat was freshly ground and not frozen, so he bought some to try. As it turned out, Tang Zijun's decision was very wise, as evidenced by Su Siyao's greasy hands and licking her fingers.

After a delicious breakfast, Tang Zijun put the buns in the lunch box prepared in advance. This was Tang Cao's request. She was very angry that she didn't get up early to eat something delicious.

Tang Zijun said: I really tried my best
After watching Tang Cao and Su Siyao walk out the door, the whole room became quiet again.

The morning in Snow City is not much different from that in other cities. As the sun rises, the world outside the window becomes gradually more lively.

Amidst the sounds of car horns, noise, and middle school music, Tang Zijun took the dishes to the kitchen to wash as usual. After he finished washing and walked out humming a song, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a 'newcomer' in the house.

I don’t know if it’s because she found a suitable place to live, but Xiaobai didn’t leave with Tangcao today. She was still curled up on Tangcao’s bed and taking a nap.

In other words, Xiaobai is a so-called spiritual beast. If it were an ordinary kitten, Tang Zijun would never let her go to bed without taking a bath. God knows if there are any bacteria or fleas on her body.

Tang Zijun slowly walked to the door of Tang Cao's room, leaned against the door frame and looked at the ball of white fur on the bed.

If he hadn't actually heard Xiaobai speaking human language before, she would have looked no different from an ordinary kitten.

Xiaobai is a lion cat, the same breed as the one raised by Pan Jinlian. Its fur is slightly longer, especially around its neck, making it look like a little lion. Its snow-like color and sky-blue eyes give it a feeling of elegance and luxury.

I have to say, she is so cute that even Tang Zijun couldn't help but want to rush up to hug her and kiss her.

However, when he thought about the other party's IQ being the same as that of humans, Tang Zijun hesitated and gave up the idea.

He didn't want to be misunderstood by his neighbors because a cat screamed indecently.

Xiaobai seemed to feel something at this time. His ears moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

When she saw Tang Zijun standing at the door staring at her without blinking, all her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She jumped three feet high with her fur standing on end, ready to fight again.

The feeling of being stared at while sleeping by a male human who smells like a dog is too terrifying. Xiaobai kept looking around, trying to find Tangcao. After a long time, she realized that Tangcao had already gotten up and gone to school.

"So, from now on, I'll have to stay with this male human and a cat during the day?"

Thinking of this, Xiaobai's cat face fell.

Looking at Tang Zijun opposite her, she felt a little regretful about agreeing to let Tang Cao move in.

In response to Xiaobai's resistance, Tang Zijun just smiled faintly. He was now certain that the other party could not sense his energy.

If the other party could really sense the power of Kamen Rider, it would be impossible for him to turn a blind eye all night.

However, Tang Zijun had not thought of hiding his identity from her. Now that Tang Cao was away and there were only the two of them and the cat left at home, it was a good opportunity to talk about Tang Cao's future development.

Just when Tang Zijun organized his words and was about to say something.

Suddenly, a strange sound came into Tang Zijun's ears.

At the same time, Xiaobai, who was breathing on Tang Zijun, seemed to have noticed something. She was stunned at first, then she suddenly raised her neck and looked out the window.
