Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"Okay, I understand." Qin Jing looked at the computer in the bag, eager to try out the library's functions.

"I don't think it's necessary to force you to do anything. As long as you enjoy life at this academy, that's enough. Just get used to life here first. If you really find something you want to do, then come find me later," Qiongqi said awkwardly, scratching his head.

Sensing that Qiongqi seemed to be taking care of her in his own way, Qin Jing smiled and said, "I understand, thanks, Uncle Qiongqi."

Just then, the school bell rang.

"Alright, I'll take you to your classroom first. I think you'll be popular, since humans are a rare species here."

Qiongqi spread its wings and instantly brought Qin Jing to a school building in the elementary school district. Because the monster students here were of unusually large size, some of them five or six times the size of human children, the school building was also five or six times the size of human children.

Walking here, Qin Jing felt as if he had entered a land of giants. The classroom door was nearly ten meters high. What kind of enormous creature was waiting for him in front of it?

The teacher was called out from the classroom of Class 6, Grade 6.

The teacher inside slowly walked out. He was a short, thin old man with goat horns, wearing round-framed glasses, and had a neatly groomed white beard on his chin, resembling a refined old scholar.

"Ah, Lord Qiongqi, you've arrived." The old man with goat horns bowed slightly.

"Ah, Yang Nan, I already told you to call me Principal here. This is Qin Jing, a newly enrolled student. She's all yours now."

"Jing, if you don't understand anything, just ask Yang Nan. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, goodbye!"

The sheep man spoke in the same unhurried manner as before: "Qin Jing, come inside with me and say hello to your classmates."

As Qin Jing followed the teacher through the door, the whole class erupted in excitement.

Tiger-headed monsters, wolf-headed monsters, and monsters with animal ears that had transformed into human form—male and female students of all shapes and sizes stood up excitedly, focusing their attention on Qin Jing and looking her up and down.

Qin Jing received an incredibly warm welcome, feeling as if she were being treated like a superstar.

The peacock spread its tail feathers for him, the tiger stared wide-eyed and drooled, the rabbit's eyes gleamed with red hearts as it took out a carrot, and the squirrel pulled out a pine cone...

This is the Monster Academy, a school founded by Su Jiu and monsters such as Qiongqi and Da Tengu. Its initial purpose was to train students on how to get along with humans and adapt to human society, although sixth-grade students haven't been exposed to many courses yet.

However, they were also taught from a young age to make friends with 'humans', the species, and to protect and care for humans.

And on the entire continent, humans are so rare that they might not see even one in their lifetime.

Through movies, videos, books, and other materials, they learn about human culture, gain an understanding of this unfamiliar existence, and naturally develop a strong interest in humanity.

They knew that humans and yokai shared a common origin, but separated due to historical reasons. Humans developed in a different direction than yokai, and created many interesting things.

But humans are fragile and precious.

Unlike plant monsters, whose arms cannot grow back once severed, or soft-bodied monsters, whose bodies cannot split in half, they die easily and must be carefully protected and cherished.

Today, among the nearly ten thousand yokai students at the academy, a human classmate has arrived. It's practically like welcoming a panda to be a classmate in a human elementary school—how could they not be excited?

"The new transfer student?"

"Could it really be a legendary human?!"

"I just saw that Principal Qiongqi brought him here, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Is it really a human? Amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen a human in person since I was born."

"Can I feed it? I don't know if humans eat carrots."

Humans mainly eat wheat, rice, corn, and potatoes!

"I have corn," a rodent-like monster said, pulling out a golden ear of corn.

"Hurry up and try it out!" a monster urged.

"If I hand it over, will he bite me?" The big-eared rat monster hesitated, a little scared.

"You'd better be careful, they say humans are quite ferocious," the monsters whispered among themselves.

'I heard everything, and I can't eat the raw corn,' Qin Jing thought to herself.

P.S.: [I changed the book title; let's see if it has any effect.]

Section 74.9 Don't underestimate literary youth

Qin Jing's arrival caused a stir throughout the entire teaching building, not just among the excited commotion of the monster students in the classrooms.

Even the monsters from the next class were attracted by the noise and ran over, some crouching by the door, others by the window, all their eyes fixed on Qin Jing. The monsters shouted excitedly, craning their necks to see what Qin Jing looked like.

"Look how small he is, he's not strong at all, he doesn't have any hair on his ears, and his butt isn't...wait?"

……

Then, for some unknown reason, all the creatures returned to their seats in disappointment, while the monsters from other classes left with a grumble.

"What?! You made me come all this way."

"So it was a fake!"

Qin Jing introduced himself, but this time there was no reaction from the class, which puzzled him. Why were the monsters so startled? However, it was really great that he didn't have to share a classroom with giraffes that were seven or eight meters tall or elephants that weighed several tons, and he didn't have to worry about being trampled to death at any time.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down, let's clap and welcome Qin Jing to the class," the male teacher instructed.

"Yes..." Scattered applause rang out in the classroom, with one girl clapping enthusiastically and laughing heartily.

It was Wang Zi! She waved and called out with a big laugh, "Xiao Jing, come sit here!"

“Alright then, Qin Jing, you can sit next to Wang Zi,” the sheep man said.

"What? So it's someone Wangzi knows?"

"They're all canines, after all," a monster whispered.

"Hey, Wangzi, please take care of me from now on," Qin Jing said as she walked to her seat.

"Yeah, it's so great to be in the same class as Xiaojing!" Wangzi wagged her tail and happily agreed. She was really excited about Qin Jing's arrival. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Jing's lips. If they weren't still in class, she probably would have already pounced on them and licked them to express her enthusiasm.

Feeling the warmth, Qin Jing quickly turned to the classmate in the other seat and greeted her, "Hello."

"..." The short-haired girl with blue hair on the other side turned her head away, completely ignoring him.

Qin Jing took his seat and noticed that none of the fairies around him seemed interested in him anymore. He wondered if he could actually enjoy a quiet school life where he could study here.

But less than five minutes after having this naive thought, the bell rang, and the ram teacher slowly walked out of the classroom. The next moment, Qin Jing was pushed and dragged by several tiger demons to a deserted corner outside the teaching building.

"Are you the rumored new student? I didn't expect you to be in our class."

"I heard you said some very arrogant things yesterday, so we have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

Three tiger-headed men, each over two and a half meters tall, extended their claws, which were as big as casserole dishes, and approached Qin Jing, asking her questions.

Although I had prepared myself mentally, being stared at by a ferocious beast several times my size was still an incredibly terrifying feeling.

Qin Jing calmed herself down and said, "You've all heard, right? My name is Qin Jing. Actually, I'm a human invited by the principal."

"Hahaha!" The tiger-headed, tiger-bodied monsters burst into laughter. "Of course we've heard that humans are coming, but you're sorely mistaken if you think you can fool us with a pretense, you little liar!"

"We have to teach those swindlers a lesson." The three tiger demons bared their fangs and grinned as they approached.

Qin Jing recalled the methods she used to deal with delinquents in elementary school: calling them Haruhara, calling them "Teacher," and calling them "Miyazawa Emma." Unfortunately, none of them were around now. Ahh... I miss Haruhara so much!

Qin Jing remembered that she had a protector and said, "Um... I'm actually Mo Mo's sworn brother."

The tiger-headed man's eyes widened, filled with murderous intent, and he roared with his blood-red maw open: "You're the one we've been looking for!"

"We'd heard about it before. There was this new scoundrel who was using the name of the Wolf God to swindle people. We've finally caught him!"

"How could Wolf God Momo possibly be interested in such a weakling as you!"

"The Wolf God Martial Arts Academy is one of the most prestigious sects on the continent. Countless demons would love to become its disciples but can't even get the chance! How dare you joke about something like this?"

"The majesty of the Wolf God cannot be defamed by a newcomer like you, a vixen!"

"Who are you calling a vixen!" Qin Jing's tail bristled. A real vixen is a wicked creature who lies endlessly and enjoys playing tricks on people.

They promised to give him a protective ability, but instead gave him a completely useless, trashy ability called a tail.

Huh? A tail?

"Huh? A tail? When did it appear?!" Qin Jingjing looked behind her and saw a tail that had grown back out of nowhere. She tried to push it back down, but the fluffy tail was very elastic and bounced out as soon as she let go.

"You gave yourself away the moment you walked into the classroom, you idiot!" the tiger-headed monster sneered.

"Ah...that's why the monsters in the class reacted so wildly." Qin Jing recalled the situation in the classroom earlier and suddenly realized that it was because her tail had appeared at that time that the monsters mistook her for a fox monster, which is why their attitudes changed so drastically.

"Your fox tail has already been exposed. What else do you want to say now?" the tiger-headed monsters asked as they approached.

"There's a huge misunderstanding here." Qin Jing backed away repeatedly.

He was now kicking himself. His tailless human form had made him incredibly popular, receiving much more protection and care. Now that he had a tail, he was surrounded by thugs.

"Listen up, fox! There are rules in the mountains and forests, and there are rules in schools. You are the last transfer student to arrive, and you are a useless fox with weak demonic power that cannot be sensed."

"From now on, you're at the very bottom of the school. We, as the Beast King clan, won't do things like extorting pocket money that would lower our grades. However, you'll be in charge of our daily lunches, drinks, and all the errands, understand?" The tiger monster cornered Qin Jing against the wall, revealing its thuggish face as it threatened her.

Qin Jing waved her hand and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, I actually spend my rest time reading, I don't have time to run errands for you."

"What! You dare to bargain! You have no idea what your position is!" the tiger monster roared.

"Hey! Don't underestimate me! Just because I'm big doesn't mean I'm anything special!" Qin Jing said coldly, her hands in her pockets.

"What? A skinny fox spirit like you think you can defy us tigers? Hahaha!" The three tiger-headed men grinned and laughed.

"I already said... I'm not a fox spirit!!!" Qin Jing pulled a bottle with the cap unscrewed from her tracksuit pocket and flung it at the faces of the three tiger demons, a large cloud of white powder landing on their big tiger faces.

"Fox!! What are you throwing... Awooo..."

The tiger demon roared, but froze, blinked, yawned, and ignored Qin Jing. It tilted to one side, licking the powder clinging to its fur, before finally collapsing to the ground, drooling, its limbs trembling, its belly exposed.

"Hmph! Arrogant felines, with this, you'll never conquer humans." Qin Jing stepped on the tiger's belly and poured out the remaining powder from the bottle, sprinkling it on the faces of the three tiger demons, causing them to push and slap each other's faces, fighting over the food.

Qin Jing carefully put the bottle away. The bottle was labeled as produced by Penglai, and it was called "Camphor Grass Super Concentrated Essence Spices," which is also known as catnip. The label in red read: "Use with caution if you are a feline."

He found this at the supermarket yesterday while buying spices, and since he thought it might come in handy, he bought some. Catnip, aside from its medicinal uses, has almost no value to humans.

However, there are clearly races in Penglai that feed on this food, but it has a hallucinogenic and stimulating effect on felines.

Qin Jing patted the powder off her hands, looked disdainfully at the three large cats lying on the ground with their bellies exposed, and gracefully stepped over them and left.

Having read animal encyclopedias and grown up watching animal documentaries, he is utterly invincible when it comes to these animal-type monsters!

Just as Qin Jing was about to leave the alley, she suddenly smelled a strange, nauseating odor, and then something suddenly grabbed her. She thought, "Oh no, could it be that concentrated catnip isn't very effective against large feline monsters after all..."

Then everything went black. Before I passed out, I felt as if I was being swept up by something cold and gloomy, moving rapidly, and then I completely lost consciousness.

Section 75, Chapter 10: Stranded in a Monster Bathhouse

After an unknown amount of time, the boy who had been in a coma finally regained consciousness. He felt dizzy, his body felt a little cold, and it seemed very noisy around him.

Suddenly a sound came from very close by.

"Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing!"

Qin Jing, still half-asleep, struggled to open her eyes and saw a little girl touching her forehead to hers, their eyes locked.

"Xiao Jing, you're awake!" The little girl with snow-white hair happily raised her hands.

As her gaze sharpened, Qin Jing recognized the 6 or 7-year-old girl sitting next to her as Youyou, the snow doll from Inari Mountain.

"Youyou, are you studying here too?" Qin Jing asked.

"Yes! Youyou heard from Su Jiu that Xiaojing was coming here, so she came too! She's a fourth-grade student in the elementary school now!" Youyou reported happily.

"Where am I?" Qin Jing found herself lying on a recliner, completely naked except for a towel covering her lower body.

"This is the main public bathhouse in the elementary school district!" Youyou introduced. She had originally planned to take a snow bath in the iceberg, but unexpectedly, she met the person she wanted to see most.

"Huh? So this isn't the women's bathhouse...?" Qin Jing had a bad feeling.

“Yes!” Youyou replied.

"...Isn't this situation terrible?" Qin Jing looked around the spacious area, which resembled a water park, and saw a mother bear and a tigress frolicking in the freshwater pool after taking off their school uniforms, as well as water toads and beavers floating on the water, and a mother monkey soaking in the hot spring.

Hmm... it's not much different from being in a zoo. It seems like only Youyou around here looks human.

'But since this academy has separate bathhouses for men and women, does that mean these female beasts all have a concept of gender distinction?'

'No, no, we're all just a bunch of furry beasts. There's nothing to be ashamed of about being of different genders, is there?'

'Then I'll just wrap myself in a towel and walk out.'
