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

"It's all messed up..."

The next second, Jiang Si did not perform any standard weightlifting movements. As if she were just picking up a wooden stick, she lifted the barbell, which was even bent at both ends.

The gym became quiet for a moment.

Ignoring everyone else, Jiang Si pulled over another barbell and started adding weight plates.

The men who were originally standing next to the puppet Shion, intending to flirt with her, immediately widened their eyes. Except for one or two young men who were still unwilling to give up, the rest left Shion's side and were drawn to Jiang Si's side.

A group of burly men surrounded Jiang Si, no longer as reserved as when they approached Zi Yuan, and bombarded her with questions:

"How did you train, bro? Can you teach me?"

"Why aren't your muscles clearly defined, buddy? You're too strong."

"Wow, you broke the record, bro. Have you ever considered going pro?"

Jiang Si remained silent, focusing solely on weightlifting.

……

Susan and Peony followed along the way.

Seeing Ziyuan and Jiang Si order a couple's set meal at the fast food restaurant, Susan's face darkened, and her whole body trembled slightly. After a long while, she said in a sinister and low voice, "They even ordered a couple's set meal."

"Looks like she really is out on a date." Peony said with a worried look, "Aren't we disturbing Ziyuan? She finally gets to go on a date with her boyfriend, and then we find people from our Disaster Management Bureau watching her..."

“As long as we don’t show our faces, it’s fine,” Susan said casually. She was no longer in the mood to make excuses. “Also, it’s not confirmed yet that Jiang Si is her boyfriend.”

"It's definitely a done deal now..."

“Ordinary friends can go out and have fun together, have a meal together,” Susan said firmly. “There’s nothing strange about it.”

"That couple's meal..."

"Jiang Si is such a poor wretch, she can't bear to spend money, so she got a cheap one. Her family is already struggling financially, so it's perfectly reasonable."

"Then holding hands..."

"With so many people, it's easy to get lost. It's not strange to hold hands. We've held hands when we went shopping before, haven't we?"

Peony was speechless for a moment.

They are both girls. How can the way female friends hold hands be the same as the way men and women hold hands?

Even if they wanted to deal with Jiang Si, they didn't need to go to such lengths, did they?

Peony knew that Susan didn't like Jiang Si very much and always looked like she wanted to arrest Jiang Si.

If it's confirmed that Jiang Si is Zi Yuan's boyfriend, then it'll probably be impossible to cause trouble for Jiang Si in the future. That's probably why she's so desperately trying to deny their relationship now.

It wasn't until Jiang Si and Zi Yuan started feeding each other that Susan was seen biting her thumbnail so hard that she tore it apart.

Now there's no way to deny it anymore.

However, Peony didn't ask, because she felt that if she did, her former best friend would make up some excuse...

"Jiang Si, he ate his fill at the couple's meal, but Zi Yuan barely ate any before packing it up. The same goes for the drinks; Zi Yuan only took one sip before putting them away. What kind of stingy man is this?"

Susan muttered resentfully, "Ziyuan must have been blind to choose a boyfriend like this. He's so stingy when it comes to treating people to meals, as if he's afraid Ziyuan will eat even a little bit more of his food."

"I thought Ziyuan would be the type to split the bill when going out for meals," Mudan said casually from the side. "I didn't expect her to make Jiang Si pay. That's a bit of a surprise."

"Someone like Jiang Si is incredibly lucky to be sitting next to Zi Yuan, let alone dare to ask to split the bill. Is it beneath him to pay?"

"That's not how it works," Peony said with a helpless smile. "No matter how beautiful or capable someone is, relationships should be based on equality. Otherwise, how can you have a relationship? Even if Jiang Si isn't perfect, if Zi Yuan likes her, splitting the bill is perfectly normal. There's no such thing as anyone being at a disadvantage or feeling wronged."

"Hmph, you always have such a long list of high-sounding principles." Susan glanced at her, "You've never even been in a relationship."

"It's not like you've actually talked about it. Everyone's so busy with work, who has time for that..."

As they were whispering and bickering, Susan saw the two of them come out of the fast food restaurant and immediately interrupted Peony, "Let's go, follow them."

"I'm telling you, really, let's not. What if Shion gets angry? We'll be in big trouble..."

"If you're not going, then forget it, I'll go by myself."

“You can’t transform anymore.” Peony sighed and chased after Susan. “Wait for me.”

Maintaining distance—but with Shion around, it's hard to say whether that distance is even effective.

They followed them all the way to the gym, where the two of them stared in astonishment as Jiang Si led Ziyuan inside.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Want to go to the gym on a date?"

Peony thought for a moment, "Exercise after meals?"

"I'm not afraid of throwing up when I exercise at the gym after a meal."

Just as they were about to go up, three more people jogged downstairs from another ice cream shop to the gym.

Susan's face darkened even more after she glanced at it.

Peony was also taken aback, and the three people opposite her seemed completely unprepared as well, stopping at the doorway.

The five people stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Yinluo, don't you have an explanation?" Susan was the first to ask with a cold smile, "Why are you here with Yinlian and Coco?"

“Yesterday’s meeting clearly stated that we are the ones responsible for carrying out this mission.” Peony’s expression was also not good. “This is a violation of regulations, Miss Yinluo.”

Before Yinlu could speak, Yinlian shielded her sister, "It was a coincidence, a chance encounter. Chief of Security Susan and Peony team members, we didn't mean to disturb your mission. We just happened to see Jiang Si and Ziyuan at the ice cream shop..."

These words immediately created an inexplicably heavy atmosphere among the five people.

Yinluo also pulled her younger sister over and stood in front herself: "If you have any complaints about me, you can submit the review documents to your superiors when you get back. Now we need to find out what the relationship is between Ziyuan and Jiang Si. I think that with our relationship with Jiang Si, if it is really exposed, it will be better to let Ziyuan go easy on us."

Peony looked at Coco, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, then glanced at Susan. "What should we do?"

“What else can we do now that things have come to this?” Susan stared at Yinlu for a long time before slowly saying, “This is the last time. Be careful to stay hidden. We’ll submit a report about their problems when we get back.”

The two sisters, Yinluo and Yinlian, both breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Yinlian took Coco's hand, who seemed a little absent-minded, and said, "Maybe they just happened to run into us. Coco, cheer up!"

Coco gave a forced smile, took a deep breath to ease the lingering soreness, and then patted her face hard. "I'm fine, Captain, let's go."

I went to the gym with the team.

The gym is very spacious, almost the size of two small school playgrounds, and is divided into men's and women's areas.

There weren't many people in the women's area, but there were many places to hide, and it was relatively secluded, making it easy to conceal oneself.

The five people didn't separate too much; they all found seats, except for Coco, who got on the treadmill to try jogging.

As I jogged, I watched a group of fitness enthusiasts gathered around the aster, and I started to pant heavily as I ran.

When you're feeling down, exercising can really lift your spirits...

Coco glanced at Jiang Si, who was adding weights to the barbell over there, her expression complicated, and then increased the speed of the treadmill.

"There are so many people gathered around the aster..."

"After all, it's very beautiful."

Did she just say "get lost"?

"He's kind of handsome..."

Since Yinluo and Mudan were in the same department, they naturally started chatting as soon as they sat down.

Susan watched as Jiang Si tossed Ziyuan aside and went to add weight to the barbell until she reached the heaviest weight, then started exercising on her own. A slight smile twitched at the corner of her mouth.

"If in the future, your partner brings you to the gym and leaves you to work out on their own, would you be okay with that?"

Several people instinctively shook their heads.

Only Yinlian hesitated for a moment, saying uncertainly, "Actually, it's...it's alright? After all, a date is about going to places that both people like. If he likes the gym, it's fine to go to the gym with him, right? You can't always go to places the girl likes on a date; places the boy likes are also important..."

Peony nodded. "The captain is right."

Yinlu adjusted her glasses. "I'll let you know in advance that I'm not going to the gym."

Coco didn't say anything, but her disgust was obvious; she was the last person who could stand going to the gym...

Watching Jiang Si suddenly lift an extremely heavy barbell, attracting the attention of all the men around Zi Yuan, Mu Dan whispered from the side, "It seems these two have confirmed their relationship."

Upon hearing this, the other four hesitated slightly. Peony looked around curiously, wondering what was causing their hesitation. Yinluo spoke first:

"In that case, it's not good news for our Disaster Management Bureau. The sect leader of Qingyun Sect, Ziyuan, is getting so close to the relatives of the members of the Magical Girl Combat Team. It's easy for something to go wrong... If outsiders think that the Disaster Management Bureau and Qingyun Sect are secretly cooperating, that would be bad."

"Why isn't this good?" Coco asked. "The Qingyun Sect has a good reputation in the North Sea, doesn't it?"

"It's not bad, but we are, after all, an official organization. If outsiders think that an official organization is connected with illegal organizations, many things will become troublesome, such as the legitimacy of law enforcement, the evaluation from headquarters, funding, and adult issues..."

Peony gazed at the person engrossed in training in the distance, while Ziyuan stood motionless beside them like a delicate doll. "Even if you say that, they seem to have already confirmed their relationship. What can we do?"

Yinlian smiled slightly: "It's not that once a relationship is established, it won't change. We can also disrupt their relationship."

All three girls' eyes lit up.

"I think," Peony immediately said from the side, "we can keep it a secret for now, right? There's no need to break up a couple, don't you think?"

"no!"

The other three voices unanimously rejected it.

Peony shrank back and said weakly, "Alright... if Ziyuan gets angry, you'll have to deal with it yourselves. Don't get involved with the Disaster Management Bureau..."

After a moment of silence, Susan coughed and said, "So, how do you plan to sabotage this? Tell me first."

Yinlu thought for a moment and then said:

"As long as Jiang Si falls for someone else, that'll be enough, right?"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Final Date (5000)

"Falling in love with someone else?"

Susan said expressionlessly, "Although I have a lot of opinions about Ziyuan and don't want to say anything good about her, objectively speaking, which of the four of us do you think can compare to Ziyuan in making Jiang Si fall in love with someone else?"

"We have to give it a try." Yinluo said seriously, "Letting Jiang Si and Ziyuan get entangled will not only be bad for Jiang Si's future, but also for Keke's future."

In reality, it's bad for Yinluo's own life and future.
