Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 9 An Ordinary Morning

The next morning, Tang Cao still failed to get up on time.

Tang Zijun, who had been busy preparing breakfast for half a day, glanced at the time on his mobile phone, then walked to Tang Cao's bedroom door with a tired look and knocked on the door.

"It's time to get up, Karasuma. You're going to be late for school."

After saying that, Tang Zijun listened attentively to the movements in the room.

next second.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle."

A sound like a cat snoring was heard, with a hint of resistance to waking up and annoyance at being disturbed in sleep, but overall, the sound had no meaning.

"Hurry up and get up. I told you not to play so late last night. It makes me have to call you back for a long time every time. If you do this again, I will activate your underage protection."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao, who was originally drowsy and ready to stay in bed for a while, sat up instantly, like a mummy that had just been resurrected.

However, Tang Cao soon realized that although her body was awake, her soul seemed to still be lying in bed. She frowned and scratched her messy hair.

After a long pause, Tang Cao's slightly hoarse voice came out from the crack of the door.

".I'm up, I'm up, isn't that okay?"

Seeing this, Tang Zijun smiled helplessly.

As someone who had experienced it firsthand, Tang Zijun of course knew that Tang Cao couldn't get up today not because of the game, but because she had secretly run out last night to fight against evil.

But to be honest, Tang Zijun still can't accept the fact that his sister has become a magical girl. Although he is also a lucky person whose fantasy has come true, there is still a big difference between himself and watching his sister.

Back then, I fought against the evil forces of the entire world. Although it fulfilled my little dream before I traveled through time, the danger and hardship involved were simply beyond the understanding of outsiders.

Who can understand the pain of preparing for the college entrance examination while having to save the world?

I had just finished doing one set of real test questions, and then I had to go do another one. Sometimes I could only sleep less than four hours a day, and I felt listless, like an eggplant hit by frost.

At first, Tang Zijun was in the mood to learn about the past of those weirdos, but later on he was no longer in the mood to chat. He just wanted to quickly deal with the enemies and then go home to have a good sleep.

If I had known at that time that there were magical girls in this world, at least the pressure on me would not be so great, and I would not be exhausted every day.

Just as Tang Zijun turned around and prepared to go back to the kitchen to bring out breakfast, the doorbell suddenly rang.

In today's society, except for some houses like villas, few people will use the action of ringing the doorbell to notify the owner of the house. Basically, everyone is used to knocking on the door actively.

Whether it’s takeout or express delivery, the guys will knock on the door just hard enough for people to hear.

Tang Zijun, however, was not surprised at the sound of the doorbell. He stopped, turned around, walked to the door, and opened it. "Come in, Tang Cao hasn't woken up yet."

Standing at the door was a little girl who looked about the same age as Karakusa.

She was not tall, only a little over 1.6 meters, which was considered below average height in Snow City. She had short black hair and wore thick glasses. Her good figure was completely hidden by her plain school uniform.

Just at a glance, you can feel the scholarly air coming towards you.

However, this bookish air is not decadent, but carries with it the sunshine and vitality of a young girl, giving people a sense of prosperity and sunshine, fully confirming the phrase "the flowers of the motherland".

"Good morning, Brother Tang."

The girl greeted him with a smile before stepping inside. "Sit down for a bit, or go call Tang Cao for me. I'll bring out breakfast, and you can have some with me." Tang Zijun had met the girl before and was quite familiar with her.

The girl's name is Su Siyao. She is a classmate of Tang Cao and the only student in their class who is a day student like Tang Cao.

Both of them were good students and had similar interests. After being assigned to the same class, they quickly became good friends and became close friends who could talk about anything within half a year.

Because neither of them lived on campus, Su Siyao would come here every day to ask Tang Cao to go to school together, rain or shine. Tang Zijun was very happy about this. After all, the purpose of going to school was to make good friends.

Unlike myself back then, I didn’t make any friends in high school because I had to balance studying and saving the world.

"I've already eaten at home. My mom said I can't bother you too much." Su Siyao quickly took out a box of yogurt from her schoolbag and placed it in Tang Zijun's hand. "This is for you. It has chocolate cereal on top. It's delicious."

"Thanks." Tang Zijun responded, then turned back to the kitchen. "It's no trouble at all, just an extra pair of chopsticks. I happened to be making noodles with soybean paste today."

"Jjajangmyeon!?"

The pupils of Su Siyao's eyes beneath her glasses suddenly twinkled with little stars.

Ever since she tasted the fried noodles made by Tang Zijun once, she completely fell in love with the taste. The sweet, spicy and salty sauce paired with the noodles rinsed in cold water is chewy and delicious, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

Originally, Su Siyao was the type who had no interest in noodles. Compared to noodles, she preferred staple foods such as fried dumplings and rice.

But after eating Tang Zijun's fried noodles with soybean paste, Su Siyao suddenly unlocked her craving for noodles. It turned out that it was not that she disliked noodles, but that she disliked noodles that tasted bad.

Smelling the alluring aroma wafting from the kitchen, Su Siyao licked her lips, but soon she touched her belly again.

"If I had known that you were going to make noodles with soybean paste, I wouldn't have eaten them at home this morning. But I can still eat a whole bowl! Hmm. Half a bowl, maybe."

Hearing her muttering, Tang Zijun smiled slightly. "Then come in and help yourself. There's also bone soup, which we left over from last night."

"coming!"

After putting down her schoolbag, Su Siyao immediately forgot about waking her best friend up and ran straight towards the kitchen.

A bowl of bone soup was served, and before it was brought out, Su Siyao took a sip with relish, then let out a long breath and revealed a satisfied smile.

“——Great~”

"Drink more if you like. Tang Cao doesn't like to drink soup, but likes to eat bones and marrow. I always drink the remaining soup by myself." Tang Zijun scooped a spoonful of egg sauce for himself and said casually.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard. Tang Cao shook his body and yawned as he walked towards the bathroom with difficulty.

Hearing that her best friend had gotten up, Su Siyao quickly poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Morning, Karasuma."

"morning"

Tang Cao's voice was weak.

Su Siyao noticed that there was a blue crystal hanging around Tang Cao's neck that she had never seen before.

"Eh? The pendant on your neck is so pretty!"

"Is it new? Send me the link."
