Chapter 65 Entering Your Heart
Chapter 65 Entering Your Heart
"Hey...!"
Su Tianqing laboriously lifted the paper bag onto the table and put it down, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew! ...These accessories are quite heavy."
"!!"
Lin Muyao quickly stepped forward and handed Su Tianqing a glass of water.
"Is this for me? Thank you, Muyao~"
"...!"
The girl was flustered and still not quite sure how to handle the golden fox's enthusiastic response.
So lively and cheerful, it's impossible to resist the charm that Sister Tianqing exudes.
But after these few days of interaction, Lin Muyao had a general idea of the little fox's preferences:
Su Tianqing likes cute and pretty things, and she's not picky about food, so she should be easy to take care of.
Yes, they are very easy to raise.
"I feel a little tired. Can I sit on your bed for a while?" Su Tianqing asked.
Please feel free to do as you please.
The girl picked up the drawing board and quickly wrote down three words.
The golden fox didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the bed covered with pink and white sheets, straightening its legs and stretching its body slightly.
"Mmm—~ Ugh!"
The pristine white over-the-knee socks reflected the glow of the dormitory ceiling light, outlining a delicate and youthful curve.
"I bought so many souvenirs today, Muyao, would you like to open them and take a look?"
"If you're planning to, will Sister Tianqing come along too?"
Su Tianqing glanced at the words on the drawing board, then at the girl whose face was full of eager anticipation, and smiled slightly.
"It seems that Mu Yao isn't the type to open packages by herself."
"In that case... I'll help you!"
A rustling sound echoed from the bedroom.
Su Tianqing skillfully unpacked the plastic packaging and handed the small card and picture badge to the girl across the table.
Time passed slowly.
As she unpacked the package, Su Tianqing glanced at Lin Muyao, who was playing with the picture cards across the table.
"Little sister Muyao."
"!"
The girl suddenly looked up and blinked.
"Actually, I've been wanting to say this for a while, but I was worried that you might find what I'm saying strange, Mu Yao..."
Lin Muyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the drawing board and carefully wrote a line of words.
"It's alright, Sister Tianqing, please feel free to speak."
"Really? Since you don't care, Mu Yao, then..."
After gathering her emotions, Su Tianqing glanced discreetly at the clock on the wall.
It is 9:15 now.
There are still fifteen minutes until my appointment with my cat at 9:30.
This amount of time is enough to solidify my position in this child's heart.
"...I heard about your past from Teacher Meteor, Mu Yao."
Su Tianqing said softly,
"I care a lot about what you've been through, Muyao."
The girl was startled, as if she had remembered something, and her expression suddenly dimmed.
But instead of becoming despondent as described by the meteor, he forced a smile.
"Sister Tianqing, are you deliberately getting close to me like those other doctor sisters?"
Another line of text was written on the drawing board.
The golden-haired fox shook its head and answered softly:
No, that's not it.
The girl was taken aback and looked up at the golden fox across the table.
Su Tianqing held a picture in her hand, but her eyes were not focused on the picture at all; instead, they were in the deeper and more distant distance.
"When I heard about this from Teacher Meteor, I thought Mu Yao, you are a very brave child."
"Even after such a serious accident, you were able to recover from such a blow. I really admire you."
"...I have never met my parents."
Lin Muyao trembled all over.
Aphasia prevented her from speaking, so Su Tianqing couldn't know what she was feeling at that moment and could only guess from her expressions and small gestures.
Glancing at Lin Muyao's astonished expression out of the corner of her eye, Su Tianqing remained calm and continued:
"When I was your age, I went to school alone and came home alone every day, every single day."
"Because I am an orc, no one wants to be my friend. Everyone ostracizes me and thinks I am a freak with a tail."
"I once thought about jumping off a building to end it all."
"Later... because I was so scared, I didn't dare to jump."
Su Tianqing calmly recounted the original owner's past experiences, her face expressionless.
Lin Muyao hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to write something on the drawing board, but Su Tianqing continued her story.
"Later, many people helped me."
"They talked to me, paid my living expenses, sponsored my studies, sponsored my university education, and encouraged me to live on."
"So I thought... since so many people want me to live a good life, I should do my best to help those in need when I grow up."
"When I heard Teacher Meteor mention you, I thought... there really is someone in the world who is so similar to me?"
"And she's not only brave and resilient, but she also loves magical girls just like me."
"So I wanted to meet this child and see if I could help her."
After speaking, Su Tianqing's gaze fell on Lin Muyao, and a smile appeared on her lips.
The girl pursed her lips, writing and erasing on the drawing board, not knowing what to say.
Tianqing has never met her own parents.
Yet she could still wear such a dazzling smile.
"I want her to have what she likes, I want her to have many friends, and not end up like me..."
Lin Muyao raised her easel, interrupting Su Tianqing's mutterings.
【Sister Tianqing is not a freak with a long tail!!】
【Sister Tianqing is such an adorable fox! Her smile is absolutely gorgeous!】
"oops……"
Being praised so directly, the golden fox couldn't help but blush slightly, and its tail swayed from side to side.
"Thank you for the compliment~ But, Mu Yao, you..."
Thank you, Sister Tianqing.
The words on the drawing board made Su Tianqing choke on the words she was about to say.
The girl wrote quickly and excitedly, eager to express her inner feelings through words.
[In all this time, Sister Tianqing, you're the first person I've been willing to talk to so much with.]
【You gave me merchandise and introduced me to other fans of magical girls. You're the one who gave me my friends, Kaze and Karin】
"I see. Did I help you, little sister Mu Yao?"
[She helped me a lot, Sister Tianqing did.]
These past few days... have been the happiest days of my life.
Thank you, Sister Tianqing.
After reading the last sentence on the drawing board, Su Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently.
Her smile was as radiant as the morning sun.
Lin Muyao's hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
I have never written on a drawing board so quickly before.
She didn't want Tianqing to misunderstand, and she didn't want to lose this lovely fox sister because of her aphasia and silence.
She didn't seem to mind his silence; instead, she gave him a radiant smile.
Just as the two were about to say something more,
A piercing alarm blared throughout the entire affiliated high school of the association.
[Strange Person Alert]
[Strange Person Alert]
[Strange person detected at the association's affiliated academy. Please proceed to the nearest shelter immediately!]
"What... weirdo...?"
Su Tianqing was stunned, and Lin Muyao was stunned as well.
The two instinctively ran outside and, along with a group of students, looked towards the school gate, staring at the huge black wolf in the darkness!
The black wolf looked towards the dormitory, opened its blood-red maw, and white light burst forth from it!
"...Mu Yao! Go back now!!"
Su Tianqing quickly stopped the stunned girl behind her and pushed her into the room.
"Boom!!!"
The magic missile flew in and exploded into countless rubble on the balcony at the dormitory entrance!
Lin Muyao fell to the ground, her vision obscured by the dust that rushed towards her, and she could only vaguely see the golden figure that had knocked her down.
The only way out of the dormitory and downstairs... has been completely destroyed.
