Why are the magical girls in your area male?

Yuki Tsukishiro packed her schoolbag and started tapping away on her phone: "Son, I have to work today, so I won't wait for you."

Yuan Qing was busy copying notes from class he'd been daydreaming about earlier that day. Without turning around, he asked, "Is it still the part-time job at the Ganbi Building?"

"Yeah, I'm broke lately, I'm dirt poor."

"That's so pitiful~"

Yuan Qing revealed a smug smile.

Speaking of which, he really has to thank Yuki Tsukishiro for introducing him to the part-time job at the Konpaku Building.

The wealthy woman casually tipped him 10 yen, enough to keep the siblings from having to sell their labor for at least half a month, given their spending habits.

By the way, there's something very important I forgot to ask today.

After joining the association, you should receive a salary, right?

Upon reflection, I realized that ever since my younger sister started working at the Shiomi family's flower shop, she had been giving me money every now and then to help with household expenses.

I initially thought the student council president was secretly providing financial assistance in an unseen way, but now it seems that this is very likely my sister's salary as a magical girl.

"See you tomorrow!"

Yuki Tsukishiro gave Gensei's shoulder a hard squeeze, then drew a horizontal line on the right front of her forehead with her right index and middle fingers together, making what she thought was a very cool farewell gesture.

Oh, that's a biased view, after all, this guy's face is like a bird eating a cricket.

Therefore, Yuan Qing was not to be outdone and immediately responded with a cheerful and energetic smiley face:

“Ciallo～(∠?ω

"Damn it, are you trying to disgust your dad? Yuzu Chef's Steamed Goose Heart!!"

Yuki Tsukishiro angrily gave him the middle finger, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly left the classroom.

She ran quickly to the stairwell, made sure Yuan Qing hadn't followed her out and that no one was paying attention, then leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

My heart was pounding in my chest, and my cheeks were burning hot, like they were about to burst into flames. I didn't even need to look in the mirror to know they were as red as ripe tomatoes!

"Damn it, what's going on...?"

She cursed under her breath, her mind replaying the scene from just now.

That guy Yuan Qing actually made such a disgusting and humiliating face at me.

Disgusting, disgusting, unbelievable!

He really, really...

"He's so cute!!"

"So cute, so cute, so cute!"

"How can that bastard be so cute?!"

"Foul! Absolutely foul!!"

She felt like her brain's CPU had completely burned out, and all that was left in her mind was the thought "Yuan Qing is so cute" scrolling through her mind like crazy.

The other person's ridiculously silly expression inexplicably struck a chord with her.

The overwhelming feeling of excitement that surged through her almost suffocated her.

Can men be this cute?!

Or is it really true that I see beauty in the eye of the beholder?

She left the teaching building absentmindedly, and when she arrived at the school gate, she paused involuntarily.

She instinctively turned around and looked in the direction of the classroom.

The golden light of the setting sun shone through the corridor windows, casting long shadows on the ground.

The image of that person still seemed to be flickering before my eyes.

That mischievous smile, those sparkling eyes, those silly gestures...

"..."

So cute.

Yuki Tsukishiro's lips curled upwards uncontrollably, revealing a sweet and shy smile that she herself didn't even realize.

She has a very youthful look.

Her still-beating heart and slightly flushed ears served as a constant reminder of the restless excitement in her heart.

She hesitated.

After a moment, she took out her phone, quickly typed a line of text, and sent it:

"Manager, I'm sorry, I need to take the day off today."

Then, she turned around and ran quickly into a secluded corner.

A few seconds later, Yuki Tsukishiro disappeared.

Zhejing Danzhu, dressed in a JK sailor uniform, came out.

Volume 1: Chapter 68 Loli Tang Died (4/5)

After copying the notes, Yuan Qing stuffed Yuki Tsukishiro's textbook back onto her desk and stretched.

After packing his schoolbag and going downstairs, Yuanqing unconsciously remembered what Zhongtang Wu had said when he passed by a small supermarket. Then, as if possessed, he went in and bought a box of fairly exquisite chocolates.

6800 yen is enough for me to eat lunch in the cafeteria for ten days. That's quite a lot of money, isn't it?

Yuan Qing, carrying the chocolates, arrived at the entrance of the student council activity room.

There were no activities scheduled for today, and the members all went home, making the place exceptionally quiet.

Just when Yuan Qing thought no one was inside, he suddenly heard a very faint sound coming from inside.

He knocked on the door, and after a moment, Shiori Shiomi's usually indifferent voice came through the door:

"Enter."

Pushing open the door, Yuan Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small figure standing on a wobbly chair, stretching out his arms and trying to reach the hardcover book on the top shelf of the bookcase.

Seeing this, Yuan Qing couldn't help but show an expression of great interest, leaning against the doorway and becoming a spectator.

Shiori Shiomi wore a dark blue school uniform skirt suit, with a delicate bow tied at the collar of her white shirt. Her pure white hair was still dazzling, flowing with a beautiful luster in the sunlight.

"You came to me because you have something you want to ask me?"

Shiori Shiomi's cool voice was tinged with slight panting, clearly indicating that reading was taking a toll on her.

Yuan Qing waved the chocolate box in his hand, a playful smile curving his lips:

"Nothing much, just came to check on our great guild leader, and also... to see if you need any help?"

He emphasized the word "help" and glanced at the book that seemed somewhat unattainable for the president.

Shiori Shiomi paused for a moment, turned slightly to the side, and glanced at him coldly, as if rebuking him for meddling:

"No need, I can manage on my own."

"Why don't you use magic to retrieve things from a distance?" Yuan Qing asked, puzzled. "The surveillance cameras weren't on, and no one nearby saw it."

"Ha, what do you know?"

Shiori Shiomi stood on tiptoe and stubbornly argued:

"If we use magic, wouldn't that mean we're bowing down to this damned guy?!"

"Oh, so using a stool doesn't count as bowing down to someone of shorter stature, right?"

"you shut up!"

Shiori Shiomi turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Then, she tiptoed again and scrambled up a tiny bit more, her fingers almost touching the books.

"Be careful, I think that chair is about to fall apart."

Yuan Qing walked to her side and kindly reminded her.

Before he could finish speaking, whether the other person used too much force or was distracted by his words, the tiptoe he was standing on suddenly wobbled!

"ah!"

A short, startled cry!

The already rickety chair tipped over completely backward during her panicked struggle!

Shiori Shiomi's small body fell straight in the direction where Gensei was!

It all happened in a flash of lightning.

At this critical moment——

Yuan Qing quickly dodged to the side.

"thump!"

A dull thud!

Shiori Shiomi fell face down onto the cold floor.

This is not over yet.

The book she had hooked with her index finger when she fell seemed to have a tracking system, hitting her head squarely as she raised it, still looking a little bewildered!

"Duang!"

It produced a clear, resonant sound, similar to the dull thud of striking a wooden fish.

"..."

Time seems to have frozen.

The student council room was deathly silent.

Shiori Shiomi lay motionless on the ground.

Why didn't you catch me?

His voice carried a hint of detachment from worldly affairs.

Yuan Qing pouted, speaking with righteous indignation: "Didn't you say you didn't want my help? Besides, this isn't some melodramatic romance drama. How can a girl always fall right into a boy's arms every time she trips?"

"...I think you're right."

Shiori Shiomi's tone was as calm as still water.

She slowly raised her hand and took the book off her head.

Then, she braced herself against the floor and stood up unsteadily.

Her small body trembled slightly, whether from pain or anger, it was hard to tell.

However, she was cushioned by the fire pack when she fell, so she should be fine.

Shiori Shiomi patted the dust off her uniform skirt, straightened her messy bow tie, and then turned her gaze, which she had been looking at as if it were trash, to Genji Ao.

The latter clicked his tongue inwardly.

You think it's about feeling ashamed?

No, actually I'm secretly enjoying it.

Yes, yes, yes, that's the look, that's the look of looking at trash, give me more!

Shiori Shiomi pulled out a chair, straightened her skirt, and sat down, coldly opening a book: "What exactly do you want from me?"

"Oh, nothing else. I just wanted to ask, are there any activities planned for today?"

"No, what other activities would you like to participate in?"

"Now that I'm a member of the association, shouldn't they take me to see places like headquarters?"

"The Tarot Association does not have a fixed location in the real world. Its headquarters is located in the Moon Etching, and it is impossible to enter during the day."

Shiori Shiomi flipped through the book, her eyes fixed straight ahead. "Also, the mentor responsible for guiding new recruits won't be available until tomorrow."

"So, we're going tomorrow night?"
