Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Coco listened quietly from the side, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Until Yinlu brought up the matter of Ziyuan.

"As the leader of the Qingyun Sect, she is lawless and disruptive. If it weren't for her and the Qingyun Sect, the Disaster Management Bureau would have already taken control of the situation in Beihai and taken down the Witch Society..."

Yinluo clearly understood Ziyuan's deep hatred, and Yinlian beside her nodded in agreement, agreeing with her sister's words.

"I'll catch her someday!"

"But!" Just as the two sisters were criticizing Shion, Coco finally couldn't help but speak up, raising her voice slightly to interrupt their conversation, "But... Shion-sensei didn't do anything bad, did she?"

Yinlian glanced at her older sister, Yinluo, who naturally knew what she was thinking. She adjusted her glasses and said, "Of course, so the Disaster Management Bureau isn't deliberately hunting her down right now. But even if she doesn't do anything bad, disrupting order is quite dangerous for Beihai. The stronger a force is, the more it needs to be restrained; otherwise, it will be a disaster for everyone."

"Just like you don't like your brother, your brother hasn't done anything bad, right?"

Yinluo's words left Coco speechless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Yinlian quickly got up and tugged at Coco, "Come on, let's go order some more food."

"We'll order too much and won't be able to finish it, Yiyi."

"Anyway, you can take the leftovers home," Yinlian whispered to Keke. "Don't be angry, considering my sister treated us."

As the two walked towards the counter, Coco couldn't help but smile. "No way, I won't be angry."

You look like you're about to cry.

"No way!"

As Yinlian teased her, Coco relaxed. While Yinlian went to get the food, she looked out of the store out of boredom.

She had only casually looked outside; she rarely came to East Street. The last time she came was with her parents, and she remembered coming to buy clothes. East Street was very different from what she remembered.

So I was looking for some familiar memories from the past, but when I glanced at a fast food restaurant, I paused for a moment.

In the fast food restaurant, a man and a woman sat intimately together by the window, eating the same couple's meal.

The girl on the right had such striking purple hair and eyes, and such an exceptionally beautiful face, that it was impossible not to notice her at a glance.

She wasn't wearing the familiar magical girl battle outfit, but rather a casual outfit: a slightly fitted ribbed knit sweater and wide-leg pants with a good drape. Although it wasn't as glamorous and well-fitting as the battle outfit, it had its own unique charm.

It's certainly something to be happy to see a different side of Ms. Shion.

If, if the person next to her wasn't Jiang Si...

"what happened to you?"

Yinlian, who had just picked up her food, asked a question. Then, following the woman's blank stare, she too was struck dumb, and almost dropped the food she had just ordered.

"Jiang Si? Ziyuan!"

Before Yinlian could even call out, Coco immediately snapped out of her daze, grabbed Yinlian, and pulled her back to the table where Yinlu was sitting.

"Wait, wait a minute! What's going on? Why are those two there? Shall we go ask them?"

Yinluo looked at her strangely, "Who is it? What's wrong with you two? Who did you see?"

"Jiang Si," Yinlian stammered, "and, and Ziyuan, I don't know why, sitting together, they, we, were eating..."

Yinlian took a deep breath to calm herself down, unaware that her sister's expression had suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Because Coco, who was sitting on the other side, was sitting there blankly with a wooden expression, and she had started to shed tears.

"Don't cry, Coco..."

Coco barely realized what was happening and immediately wiped her face with her sleeve. "I didn't cry, I didn't cry, I just... I choked..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and began stuffing something into her mouth.

I ate faster and faster, feeling like something was stuck in my throat.

Why? Why did it turn out like this...?

I am the magical girl, Shion-sensei, shouldn't you be with me?

Shouldn't you have become friends with me first?

Why Jiang Si...?

A bittersweet feeling welled up from the tip of her heart and spread to her eyes. Coco blinked frantically and sniffed.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Chapter 37: Five-Man Team Battle (5000)

Jiang Si is calculating when would be a good time to go to the gym.

I did go shopping, although I only glanced at the surrounding shops while looking for a fast food restaurant, but isn't that what shopping is all about?

He had eaten what he was supposed to eat, and the fast food restaurant's couple's set meal was 26 yuan. He didn't know what made it so cheap.

If it weren't for the disciples from the Qingyun Sect constantly chattering about how the man shouldn't be too stingy on a date and that the two of them shouldn't actually share a boxed lunch, he would have just bought a ten-yuan boxed lunch and made do.

Ultimately, sharing joys and sorrows reveals the true depth of a relationship; two people sharing a meal are more likely to be mistaken for lovers.

Buying a special couples' package is too deliberate.

Although he wasn't short of money after taking half of Susan's salary, Jiang Si, who was used to being frugal, wasn't too willing to spend too much money on this kind of thing.

We ate the couple's set meal and bought drinks. If we bought the ingredients and cooked it ourselves, it would last us a week.

Moreover, since Shion is a magical puppet, feeding her is a complete waste, as the food will be destroyed by magic once it enters her stomach.

So he basically couldn't give Ziyuan too much to eat, so he cleaned up the remaining food and packed it up.

Even if Coco doesn't eat it, taking it home will save me from cooking a meal tomorrow.

Multitasking isn't difficult for him; the challenge lies in manipulating the puppet Shion to display gentler expressions.

According to Bing Tang and her friends, if someone's expression is too cold and the same as usual, they might not be considered a couple.

Although Jiang Si felt that it didn't matter whether they were a couple or not, Bing Tang and the others insisted that only if they were a couple would Zi Yuan have the confidence to take action if the Disaster Management Bureau dared to cause trouble again.

As for taking action, the two organizations have always maintained a tacit, semi-cooperative relationship. Jiang Si doesn't think the Disaster Management Bureau would be that stupid.

After they had almost finished eating, the puppet whispered, "Next, let's go to the arcade..."

The one speaking should be Yu Mo.

Jiang Si picked up the packed food and drinks, got up, and walked straight out the door. "It's time to exercise after eating. Let's go to the gym first."

Jiang Si stretched her body and glanced at the docile puppet following behind her.

Under his precise control of magic, the puppet Shion always wore a gentle smile, carrying the small bag provided by Bing Tang. Her simple casual clothes only accentuated her delicate features, making her even more beautiful.

They attracted a lot of attention along the way.

In reality, he hadn't really seen what he looked like after transforming, since Jiang Si didn't really care about transformations.

In the classic fantasy web novels he has read, the protagonists often gain abilities such as transformation.

For example, in Panlong, Lin Lei's iconic Dragonblood Warrior transformation.

Cool and powerful, what teenager hasn't dreamed of having a similar ability to transform with dragon blood?

When necessary, it can transform into a dragon to crush all living beings, reveling freely and dominating the world.

Therefore, Jiang Si did not find the idea of ​​becoming stronger after transforming into a magical girl at all unbelievable.

Those who find the many strange and unusual things in the world strange are simply not reading enough online articles.

Jiang Si was only disappointed that her transformed state was that of a young girl, rather than some cool dragon.

Looking at the puppet's face, which lacked any dignity or power, I felt a little disgusted.

How wonderful it would be if I could be turned into a dragon.

"Huh? Going to the gym now? Isn't that a bit too early? Maybe we should go to the arcade first..."

Ignoring the questions from the Qingyun Sect disciples, he brought the puppet to the gym.

The gym on East Street wasn't new; it had been there since he was a child, but Jiang Si had never been inside.

There's no need for it at all. If he wants to exercise, there are plenty of ways to do it, and he can even make his own exercise equipment.

Jiang Si once thought that there was absolutely no need for the gym to exist.

But during this date, he suddenly thought of the gym – isn't it there for times like this?

If you really want to focus on exercising, you can do it at home. But if you want to chat or go on a date, then a gym is a better place.

You can exercise and chat at the same time, and even show off your workout results to your partner.

It's the perfect date spot.

That's probably why gyms have remained popular for so long.

When Jiang Si entered the gym, she was immediately drawn to some of the fitness equipment.

He had to admit that, although he hadn't had high expectations at first, the barbell that could increase its weight on its own was really appealing.

He handed the packed food to the puppet Shion, who obediently carried the food beside him. Many of the young men who were still exercising couldn't help but glance at it, and some couldn't help but look on with envy.

When Jiang Si walked over to the barbell and started adding weight, some young men who thought they were well-trained walked over to Zi Yuan, naturally struck up a conversation, and even showed off their muscles.

Ziyuan smiled, but her eyes were devoid of any emotion: "Get lost."

Although his attitude is somewhat sharp and cold, such an appearance combined with a prickly personality is more attractive to young people who are hot-blooded and like fitness.

Many young people who had just finished working out casually approached, some of whom were impatient and went straight up to chat, while others were more patient and prepared for a more natural encounter or quietly showed off their strength.

Some girls who come to work out also try to strike up conversations with the gym, since this place has unknowingly become the center of the gym, and perceptive people can still sense it.

However, Shion the Puppet ignored them all.

All eyes were fixed on Jiang Si, so some people couldn't help but also pay attention to the boy who was adding weight to the barbell.

"What are they doing?"

Want to play a puzzle game?

"How many weight plates are there now?"

Jiang Si stopped when both sides of the barbell were full and no more could be added. She then tried to lift it and indeed felt that it was a bit heavy.

"This is dry hair, does he think he can lift it?"
