Peony enjoyed a beautiful paid vacation by the beach.
The beach is right below Beihai City. After confirming Iris wasn't joking about actually giving her a paid vacation, Peony spent a day sleeping at ho before heading straight to the beach resort.
"Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbow, ocean, beach!"
Peony ran wildly, rolled around, and thoroughly enjoyed the cool sea splashing against her feet on the beach:
"Paid vacation! Here I co!"
Every day, she basked in the sun, strolled along the beach, lounged under a sunshade, occasionally enjoying the company of handso n who hit on her.
Then she would open a video to check on Susan, who was still working overti like crazy and feeling miserable.
Oh, how delightful it was.
Thanks to the sponsorship of the strongest Magical Girl in the Disaster Strategy Bureau.
Unfortunately, the vacation was only three days long, and she had to go back after three days. Just thinking about it, looking at the sunset on the beach, she couldn't help but feel a little lancholic.
If she could live like this forever, she wouldn't mind never eating vegetables again.
On the afternoon of the third day, when she took the high-speed train back, she found the entire Beihai shrouded in thick fog, and she couldn't get in touch with the Disaster Strategy Bureau. Peony's heart tightened, and then she turned over in her seat and continued to sleep.
Even if the whole Disaster Strategy Bureau collapsed, there's still the Cyan Cloud Sect. If you can't trust the Bureau, surely you can trust the Cyan Cloud Sect?
Anyway, Peony wasn't worried.
And indeed, by the ti she woke up and arrived at Beihai station, the fog had already cleared.
Wearing flip-flops, sunglasses, and a sun hat, and carrying a blue garland from the beach as a souvenir, holding a coconut with a straw inserted.
Peony had just gotten off the high-speed train when she noticed sothing was wrong.
Where on earth have I ended up? Is this still Beihai City?
When she got into a taxi, she couldn't help but ask:
"Driver, driver, when did they dig such a long, deep ditch north of the station?"
"I don't know, huh. It wasn't there this morning. I took a nap at noon, and when I ca over in the afternoon, I saw it."
Are they planning to open a canal? Such high efficiency?
Sitting in the car, Peony looked at the ravine that almost split the station in two, more like a mark left by so blade.
What kind of knife could be that big? The problem is...
Clicking her tongue, after all, this headache belongs to Yue Ji and the Earth and Wood Team. It has nothing to do with her.
As the car entered the city roads, she opened the window, wanting to get so fresh air, but a gust of icy wind almost froze her to death.
"What month is it now? How has Beihai entered winter..."
The driver ahead laughed heartily, "Why don't you take another look outside?"
Peony looked carefully outside, and her eyes widened.
Oh my, ice!
Along the whole way, everywhere crowded with people was frozen, from shopping malls to squares, almost entirely iced over.
Even though people were fine, there were even kids playing on the ice.
Along the ride, one might think they had arrived at an ice-the amusent park.
"It was the work of Magical Girl Dong Jun. At that ti, there were Disaster Beasts everywhere in the city, so Dong Jun froze them all. Oh, Cyan Cloud Sect's efficiency is really sothing, much more reliable than the Disaster Strategy Bureau."
Peony sneezed, "The Magical Girls of the Disaster Strategy Bureau are still pretty reliable too..."
"Reliable? Where were they at the critical mont? The recent captain of the Magic Girl Combat Team even retired, that's two Magical Girls retiring in three years, both were captains too, how many Magical Girls does the Disaster Strategy Bureau even have? The depth of this is pretty deep, huh."
Listening to the driver speaking with such depth, as if he had seen through everything, Peony could only give an awkward smile.
No choice, as their Disaster Strategy Bureau had already decided long ago to focus on logistics.
After all, they couldn't compete with the Cyan Cloud Sect for Disaster Beasts; what could they do?
Those handling logistics are never valued, everyone only focuses on who is fighting on the front lines to protect everyone. But we, the logistics team, have put in a lot of effort too.
City developnt, economy, convenient travel for citizens, we have to consider so many things...
Sucking on the coconut juice, Peony silently grumbled in her heart.
Then as they passed a corner, she suddenly cried out, "Wait, wait, driver, are you sure you're going the right way? I rember there should be a big building on the way to the north district from here, don't try to detour to cheat out of money, I've lived in Beihai for twenty years!"
"Then take another look, won't you?"
Peony looked more closely and found the road was indeed correct.
Just where the heck has the building in the middle gone?
She then saw a large group from Beihai's Earth and Wood Team gathered below, all old acquaintances, and the ground around them was full of large pits left by who knows what.
Cars, trees, electric poles were being moved out continuously.
Opening her mouth, Peony naively asked, "Is this also left by the Cyan Cloud Sect?"
"What else? Could it be the Disaster Strategy Bureau's Magical Girl? It's inevitable to have damage while fighting the Disaster Beast; luckily there were no casualties. Oh, let tell you, the Cyan Cloud Sect is good at this; the lives of ordinary citizens are protected, and as for property, there's no other way. But the Earth and Wood Team's actions are quite prompt..."
Listening to the driver praise the Cyan Cloud Sect profusely, Peony could only dryly laugh along.
The Cyan Cloud Sect does indeed value the lives of ordinary citizens. According to Cyan Cloud Sect's own words, they are the leaders of the righteous path.
Protecting all living beings is their mission.
It's not that the Disaster Strategy Bureau doesn't value this, they sotis feel powerless. Compared like this, the Bureau does seem ineffective.
