I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 67 Each Person's Realization

He Yuran held her phone and sent out the edited text message.

[Sister Lu Yue, are you free now?]

Then He Yuran took a deep breath and relaxed in her seat.

She is now in a university classroom, surrounded by a few scattered students—it seems they have just finished class.

I've already wasted half a day at school, so I need to make good use of the remaining time.

【You're free? What's up, Xiao Ran?】

Not long after, Lu Yue's reply came.

It's about magical girls. I'd like to ask you to guide my training.

This time, He Yuran went straight to the point and sent out her request.

"Sure, sure. Here's what we'll do: you transform first, then fly straight to the rooftop of the Civil Defense Bureau building. I'll wait for you there."

Okay, thank you, Sister Lu Yue.

Having received an affirmative answer, He Yuran didn't waste a moment. She walked to a deserted corner of the campus and transformed into the magical girl Bi'an.

A dark red streak of light sped toward the building in the city center.

He Yuran needed more power. However, she didn't want to go to Noah. After thinking it over, going to Sister Lu Yue seemed like a better option.

Meanwhile, at Li Mengling's home—

"Eh?! You...you're a magical girl?" Qin Xiaoling stared blankly at the teacher in front of her.

Actually, Shen Zixin had already given Qin Xiaoling all the information about the tutor last night, and that the tutor could come after school this afternoon. However, Ye Han sent Xiaoling a text message this morning after school, saying that the tutor really wanted to see her right now, hoped that she could come over at noon, and even wanted to treat her to lunch.

Although Qin Xiaoling agreed, she vaguely sensed that the teacher was being a little too enthusiastic. Since they were going to have lunch together, she decided to send her brother a text message saying she wouldn't be going home for lunch.

Then, when Qin Xiaoling arrived, the teacher, Li Mengling, immediately confessed that she was a magical girl.

"Um... I'm sorry... Xiaoling..." Ye Han clasped her hands together in an apologetic gesture: "Yesterday when I was chatting with Teacher Li... I accidentally... revealed that you are also... a magical girl... and she said... no matter what... she wanted to see you."

"Yes, what a lovely child!" Li Mengling put one hand on her hip and the other on her chin, looking Xiaoling up and down. "I'll treat you to lunch today. Let's eat at my house! After lunch, we have to do our magical girl training."

"Huh?" Qin Xiaoling looked completely bewildered. "Teacher... what do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says," Li Mengling said confidently. "Your families have entrusted you to me, so not only your academic studies, but also your magical girl lessons are all on my shoulders!"

what?

But I didn't agree to anything?

Qin Xiaoling scratched her head, somewhat bewildered: "Um... my family only said it was for academic subjects, they didn't mention any magical girl lessons..."

"This is a free gift from your teacher," Li Mengling explained. "What's wrong with learning from a magical girl senior like me? As my disciple, I'll teach you everything I know!"

"Uh... that's not the point. We already have one teacher... a magical girl senior is already teaching us. With one magical girl senior already as a teacher... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to have another one?"

Li Mengling was slightly surprised. "Huh? You already have a magical girl teaching you?" Then she turned to Ye Han. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Eh? This...I...I..." Ye Han thought she was being blamed and seemed a little lost. Actually, it was because Li Mengling hadn't asked directly, so she hadn't thought of this.

"No, no, don't be nervous, the teacher isn't angry." Seeing Ye Han's expression, Li Mengling quickly comforted her, "Who is that magical girl who teaches you?"

Li Mengling had already made up her mind. She had some connections with the more active magical girls in Yuehua City, so she could negotiate with them and get the two students to her.

Even if you can't convince her to give both of them to her, at least one of them should be acceptable, right?

"Uh... our mentor was Noah," Xiaoling slowly uttered the name.

Li Mengling almost spat out her drink on the spot—

Why her of all people?!

That day at the Civil Defense Bureau, the magical girl's name was indeed Noah. She had transformed into the magical girl Fennel and went to the Civil Defense Bureau to find her mother—the director—to discuss some family matters, but Noah unexpectedly interrupted her.

She must have been in a hurry to talk to her mother alone, so she abruptly interrupted their conversation. Because she was angry at the time, she argued back a few times.

She just didn't expect her to throw her out the door—she must have used her mind-reading ability, right? Although she had already sensed the difference in strength between them at the time, Li Mengling was still shocked when her mother told her that Noah was a "Eternal Radiance" level magical girl.

How am I supposed to negotiate with someone like that?

Besides, after what happened at the Civil Defense Bureau that day, her first impression of me must have been terrible, right? Would she give up her student to me?

At Shen Zixin's home a little earlier—

[Dude, my tutor insists on seeing me, so I'm not going home for lunch!]

I'm working overtime today, so I won't be home for dinner.

Looking at the text messages that came in one after another on her phone, Shen Zixin sighed.

My older sister doesn't usually come home for lunch, and she gave advance notice that she wouldn't be coming home for dinner either. I just didn't expect Xiaoling to be coming home for lunch either, especially since she goes straight to her tutor's house after school. As for He Yuran, if she were coming over for dinner, she would have sent a text message beforehand. But I haven't received a text from her yet.

To put it bluntly—he and Noah were the only ones at home all day.

Shen Zixin walked out of the kitchen and saw Noah sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, holding an e-reader that looked a bit like a tablet computer, reading something.

He walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to her.

"Noah".

"Hmm?" Noah looked up and glanced at him.

"If it's just the two of us at home today," Shen Zixin said calmly, yet with a hint of determination. "So... I want to ask you for a favor."

"Hmm?" Noah nodded, sensing the formality in Shen Zixin's tone. "Go ahead and speak."

"Could you give me some special magical girl training all day today...?"

"Huh?"
