Chapter 36 Catching a Cat!
Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School is one of the best high schools in Rongcheng.
In Su Tianqing's memory, the original owner of the body, Miss Su Tianqing, graduated from this high school and was admitted to the nearby Rongcheng Medical College.
"It's just because it's close by and convenient," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
It's 8:30 PM now.
Golden Fox sat in a Starbucks near the entrance of Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School, quietly watching the students leave after evening self-study.
After leaving the campus, the young couple held hands and cuddled together, their affectionate behavior making the little fox pout.
"Tsk..."
"The cloying, sour smell of love..."
The golden fox thought to itself.
Although I don't mind it, I never expected to be subjected to PDA while sitting in a coffee shop playing on my phone.
It seems everyone's high school life is quite colorful.
Su Tianqing couldn't help but recall her high school days—referring to the original Su Tianqing.
I get up at 6:30 in the morning, take the subway for an hour to school to start my morning reading, have lunch in the cafeteria and then take a nap at the table, and after evening self-study, I take the subway home to do some homework and then go to sleep.
A life that is repetitive, mundane, and monotonous, one I absolutely do not want to recall.
He was even ostracized by his classmates because of his orc identity, and he never participated in any activities except for a single gathering when taking graduation photos.
"...Why does this kind of life feel so familiar?"
Putting aside past memories, Su Tianqing drank the last small sip of her latte, wiped her mouth briefly, and got up to leave.
.
The students dispersed quickly.
The crowd and hustle and bustle at the school gate quickly dissipated, and within just twenty minutes, the place was deserted, with only the occasional nearby resident passing by.
The boarding students returned to their dormitories one by one, and the lights in the teaching buildings were turned off one by one, making the campus extremely quiet.
It seemed to fall into a deep sleep as the students left.
On a rooftop not far away, a golden magical girl gazed at the occasional passerby on the ground, her hands behind her back, humming a song that did not belong to this world.
It's almost nine o'clock, will the Hellcat appear?
Su Tianqing loves cats, both in her past life and in the past as Miss Su Tianqing.
As for catgirls?
Please, catgirls are practically a miracle second only to cute foxes in the world.
Not to mention that she's a cute little catgirl!
Cute kitty, hehehe.
"Uncle, could you open the door for me?"
A faint female voice came from the school gate, bringing Su Tianqing back to reality from her delirious state.
Magical girls have all their senses enhanced by magic, so they can hear things very clearly from this distance with just a little hearing-enhancing magic.
"Hmm? Coming so late, did you forget something?"
"Yes, yes, I forgot my keys in the drawer. Uncle, please let me in. I'll be right out!"
"……Why."
The night shift security guard sighed softly, took the key, and came out to open the door for the anxious female student.
Forgetting your keys is a serious problem.
"Go, and come back as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Su Tianqing stared at her.
The girl ran up the teaching building, then came down panting, and hurriedly boarded the last bus.
Everything was uneventful; nothing happened.
Watching the bus drive away, Su Tianqing glanced at the completely silent magic detector beside her.
No reaction... This girl seems pretty ordinary. There are no signs of any strange people around, and the time is...
Before the words were even finished in his mind, the magic detector suddenly lit up with a striking dark blue arrow, pointing directly towards the teaching building.
"They're really here!?"
The little fox quickly activated its invisibility spell and hid in the shadows. Following the direction of the arrow, it spotted a small figure on the roof of the teaching building.
Her petite figure was very inconspicuous, yet she clearly exuded a strong magical aura.
Villainous magical girl, [Hellcat]
She really did show up.
Su Tianqing remained silent, not rushing to question him, and quietly observed.
Why did she suddenly appear at the Seventh Middle School?
There are no strange people around here today, so there won't be any hyacinths or irises coming. What purpose does she have in coming to a place like this?
"..."
There was a pause of a few seconds.
Suddenly, the Hellcat leaped down from the teaching building, activated its flight magic, and drifted away in a certain direction.
Su Tianqing checked her invisibility spell to make sure there were no mistakes before quickly following.
The Hellcat didn't fly very fast, but its flying skills were quite advanced and excellent, leaving no trace of magic.
This catgirl seems to be following something.
This made Fox's doubts even stronger.
But this was accompanied by an even stronger curiosity, an urgent desire to find out exactly what this guy was up to.
Ah, she has landed.
As it flew, the Hellcat suddenly dropped rapidly and landed on a side street leading to a residential area.
They were already quite a distance from the Seventh Middle School, so Su Tianqing quickly caught up.
The last bus at nine o'clock just pulled out of that side street. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the chirping of insects and the sound of televisions from nearby residents.
It was very quiet; there were no screams or fighting, and for a moment, the Hellcat's location couldn't be found.
The magic detector is pointing in a certain direction.
Following the arrow, Su Tianqing turned a corner and looked at the deep blue magical girl not far away.
The girl she was holding in her arms was the one who had run into the teaching building to get the keys earlier; she had now closed her eyes and passed out.
Alright! I've got you!
"...Hellcat."
The fox called softly.
The catgirl shuddered, her tail snapped back, and she hurriedly turned around to look at him, her eyes wide with surprise and astonishment.
They probably never expected to be here.
"Heart Moon Fox?!...Why are you here?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing: what are you doing here again? And what's the deal with that girl in your arms?"
Su Tianqing put her hands on her hips and said.
Upon hearing what the golden fox said, the dark blue catgirl quickly hid the girl behind her back.
This action reminded Su Tianqing of a kitten guarding its food.
"I was the one who took a liking to this child first! Didn't you tie those irises around your neck yesterday?"
"Would you like it first?"
"Yes, this child has quite a strong magical aura, although it can't compare to that of irises and hyacinths."
"Intense magical power??"
"...As a villainous magical girl, you surely know about replenishing magic power, right?"
"Mana replenishment???"
Suspicious.
I can understand each word individually, but I can't understand them at all when they're put together.
"Wait a minute, wait for me."
Su Tianqing raised her hand to stop the other person from continuing to speak, and reached out to pinch the tip of her ear, trying to gather her thoughts.
What does "magic replenishment" mean?
"Literal meaning."
The Hellcat straightened up, its expression somewhat helpless.
"You... you haven't ever replenished your magic power, have you?"
"I've never seen your magic that summons monsters before. I thought you consumed a lot of magic power, which is why you attacked Hyacinth so frequently."
"Don't you feel like you don't have enough magic?"
After a long pause, Su Tianqing answered blankly:
"Huh? No, I've never felt this way before."
"..."
The Hellcat's expression grew increasingly strange, even somewhat envious.
Then I realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, if you think you have enough magic, why did you attack the hyacinths and irises?"
"Well... because it's really fun."
The little fox flashed a bright, harmless smile.
