"No problem, no problem, after we eat, sis will drive us to school." Yin Lian giggled as she ran to her sister’s side, affectionately holding her sister’s hand, "Right, sis?"
Yin Luo then tapped her little sister’s head, "I told you not to call sis in public, it makes sound old. Anyway, I don’t have work this afternoon, so I can take you guys, no problem."
Only then did Keke breathe a sigh of relief, transforming back before getting in the car, and followed the Yin sisters to East Street.
Watching Yin Lian and Yin Luo playfully teasing each other on the way, she naturally felt sowhat envious.
After all, even though there was Jiang Si at ho, she was still pretty much alone most of the ti. Such liveliness was sothing she would never have at ho.
The ice cream shop’s items were very expensive, sothing Keke would never dare to order on a regular day, but Yin Luo ordered two drinks for each of them.
"If you can’t finish, take it ho."
Such generosity made Keke feel a bit envious.
It’s said that the salaries at the Disaster Strategy Bureau are very high, especially for the Magic Girl Combat Team, which is two to three tis higher than the logistics staff. The total salary of the Magic Girl Combat Team is almost comparable to the sum of other departnts.
But Keke wasn’t sure how much her salary would be as an ordinary mber, after all, she was new and it might not be as exaggerated.
Even if it was a lot, her family had many financial needs, and she couldn’t just spend it recklessly.
This year Jiang Si was a sophomore in high school, and next year he’d be a junior facing college entrance exams. Even though there wasn’t much hope, if he could get into a decent college, she’d definitely want to save money to help Jiang Si with tuition to fulfill her parents’ wishes.
So, the salary from the Disaster Strategy Bureau had to be saved and couldn’t be squandered...
The three of them sat by the window, with people bustling around outside. Yin Luo and Yin Lian chatted away, their topics scattered and varied, ranging from ho to the Disaster Strategy Bureau. As sisters, it seed they had endless things to talk about.
Keke listened quietly beside them, occasionally chiming in with a word or two.
It wasn’t until Yin Luo brought up sothing about Zi Yuan.
"As the head of the Cyan Cloud Sect, she acts lawlessly, disrupting the order. If it weren’t for her and her Cyan Cloud Sect, the Disaster Strategy Bureau would have already taken control of the Beihai situation and taken down the Witch Association..."
Yin Luo’s deep resentnt towards Zi Yuan was palpable, and beside her, Yin Lian nodded in agreent with her sister’s words.
"We’ll catch her one day!"
"But!" Just as the two sisters were criticizing Zi Yuan, Keke couldn’t help but raise her voice a bit, interrupting their conversation. "But... Teacher Zi Yuan hasn’t done anything bad, has she?"
Yin Lian glanced at her sister, and Yin Luo naturally knew what she was thinking, adjusting her glasses, "Of course, that’s why the Disaster Strategy Bureau isn’t deliberately hunting her down. However, even if she hasn’t done anything bad, disrupting the order is still quite dangerous for Beihai. The more powerful the force, the more it needs to be constrained, otherwise, it can be a catastrophe for everyone."
"Just like you don’t like your brother, your brother hasn’t done anything bad, right?"
Yin Luo’s words left Keke speechless for a mont.
Seeing the atmosphere beco tense, Yin Lian quickly got up, tugging at Keke, "Let’s go, let’s go, let’s order so more food."
"Don’t order too much or we won’t finish, Yiyi."
"We can take it ho if we can’t finish it." Yin Lian whispered as she pulled Keke along, "Considering my sister’s treating, please don’t be upset."
As they walked towards the counter, Keke couldn’t help but smile, "I won’t, I won’t get upset."
"You look like you’re about to cry."
"No, I’m not!"
With Yin Lian’s teasing, Keke’s mood also lightened as she glanced outside the shop while Yin Lian went to pick up their order.
Originally just casually looking outside, she seldom ca to East Street, and the last ti was with her parents for clothes shopping. The East Street had changed drastically from what she rembered.
So she tried to find so familiar mories from the past, but as she glanced past a fast-food restaurant, she paused.
In the fast-food restaurant, seated intimately by the window, a man and a woman were sharing a couple’s al.
The girl on the right had purple hair and eyes, with an exceptionally extraordinary beautiful face that was too noticeable to not register in a single glance.
She wasn’t wearing the familiar Magical Girl combat suit but casual clothes—a slightly fitting ribbed knit top and drapey wide-leg pants, which, although less glamorous and fitting than the combat gear, had a unique charm.
Seeing a different side of Teacher Zi Yuan was undoubtedly a happy thing.
If, if the person beside her wasn’t Jiang Si...
"What’s wrong with you?"
Yin Lian, who ca back with their order, asked while following her gaze, and similarly, as if struck by lightning, almost dropped the food she was holding.
"Jiang Si? Zi Yuan!"
Before Yin Lian could call out, Keke imdiately snapped back to her senses, grabbing Yin Lian and pulling her back to the table where Yin Luo was sitting.
"Wait, wait! What’s going on, how are those two together over there! Shall we go ask?"
Yin Luo looked at her curiously, "Who? What’s wrong with you two? Who did you see?"
"Jiang Si." Yin Lian stamred a bit, "Jiang Si, and also Zi Yuan, I don’t know why, sitting together, they, we, are eating..."
Yin Lian took a deep breath to calm herself down, not noticing her sister’s suddenly unpleasant expression.
Because beside her, Keke, dazed and dumbfounded, with a wooden expression, started to tear up.
"Don’t, don’t cry, Keke..."
Keke finally reacted, imdiately wiping her face with her sleeve, "I’m not crying, I’m not crying, it’s just, just choked on sothing..."
She said this while lowering her head, starting to shove food in her mouth.
Eating faster and faster, feeling sothing stuck in her throat.
Why? Why did it turn out like this...
I’m the Magical Girl; shouldn’t Teacher Zi Yuan have been together with ?
Shouldn’t we have beco friends first?
Why, is it Jiang Si...?
A sour feeling flooded from the tip of her heart to her eyes, blinking persistently, Keke sniffed.
"I’m going to the restroom."
