Chapter 367 The Stargazer Fox's First Activity
Dormitory building of Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences.
Moonlight Fox hovered at the dormitory entrance, observing the clean and tidy dormitory in front of it.
The windowsills were empty; the clothes had all been put into the closets or taken with them by the students who were leaving for vacation. Only one dormitory balcony had a school uniform and a nightgown hanging out to dry.
It's hard to imagine that a student would choose to stay overnight in the dormitory during the New Year holiday, and that the school would even approve it.
"Wang Xiaowang... Building 2, Room 407..."
Muttering the address shown in the secret manual, the stargazer plunged into the dormitory building and wandered around for a while before finally finding room 407.
With the door tightly shut and no sound coming from inside, Yue Tianxin went around to the balcony and peered into the room.
The six-person dormitory has bunk beds and desks underneath, which is a pretty good accommodation.
But the dormitory was empty at the moment, except for a bed with sheets and blankets, a few laser tickets and small trinkets like badges scattered on the table, and an open exercise book.
Although she didn't see the owner of the bed, Su Tianqing was already certain that she had found the right place.
Why, you ask?
【Task Update】
[Dandelion Mission: Magical Girl Recruitment in Progress]
Option A: Wait for a suitable candidate to appear.
Option B: Go and find a suitable candidate.
Because the questline in the Secret Codex has been updated!
But what's with these two options? This fox has no idea where the suitable candidate has gone! Can the Codex be a little more generous and give us a location hint?
Fortunately, this time the secret manual wasn't so stingy and readily provided a location.
.
No. 133, Tianfu No. 2 Avenue, Mixue Ice Cream Store.
This place is a bit far from the College of Arts and Sciences. When Yue Tianxin Huhu flew here, the store was playing a cheerful theme song.
It was during the holiday, and with so many shops on the street, there was a lot of foot traffic, and people kept coming to buy milk tea.
"Number 107, two cups of jasmine milk green tea, please take care."
"Number 108, a strawberry sundae!"
"Hello~ What would you like to drink?"
As the shop assistants read out numbers and distributed items, they also took orders from new customers. Coupled with the lingering festive atmosphere of the New Year, Yue Tianxin Huhu was momentarily overwhelmed.
"Business is really good," Su Tianqing thought to herself as she switched to manual transmission.
Floating over the crowd to the shop entrance, Yue Tianxin peered into the shop.
Those without magical talent cannot see the stargazer, and he was not worried about being noticed by those around him, carefully searching for Wang Xiaowang's whereabouts.
Soon, a swaying tail caught the fox's attention.
It was a black dog tail with a striking tuft of white fur at the tip, swaying like an electric fan behind the shop assistant's uniform.
The owner of this tail... um... is half a head taller than me, about the same height as the little fish, and seems to be a canine beastman from the Bern Mountain clan?
Her black and brown hair was braided and hung down her back, with fluffy ears perched on either side of her hat. She was intently mixing the drink in her hand.
Looks like it's a holiday job.
"Little Wang! How much longer until number 109?"
"One minute left! They'll be here soon!"
The cashier turned to ask, and while adding ice, the dog girl turned to the cashier at the store entrance and said.
As she handed the drink to her colleague to seal it, the dog girl inadvertently looked up and met the gaze of the stargazer fox floating in the air.
The swaying dog tail slowly came to a stop, hanging steadily behind it as if an electric fan had been turned off.
The dog girl's expression gradually changed from blank to surprised, and finally she was enveloped in astonishment and amazement, and her tail quickly started wagging again.
"Little Wang, what are you looking at? Is there something on the ceiling?"
A shop assistant walked up to her, glanced up in Yue Tianxin's direction, and looked at the little dog girl next to her who was staring intently at the ceiling with a puzzled expression.
Dog Girl turned around and looked at her colleague, blinked, and pointed at Yue Tianxin.
"Hey? Shopkeeper, can't you see the little fox on the ceiling? It can fly!"
“…………”
Upon hearing her voice, the shop assistants almost simultaneously looked up at the ceiling, then gave the dog girl the same subtle look.
The middle-aged man, referred to as the shop manager, sighed, patted the dog girl on the shoulder, and led her to the storeroom.
This dog girl has been working part-time at the store for almost the entire winter break. Everyone loves this clingy and lively dog girl, but her work enthusiasm is also a cause for concern.
Although she said it was to earn tuition and living expenses, no matter what... going more than twenty consecutive days without a day off easily makes people think that she is hallucinating.
After all, how could there possibly be a flying fox on the ceiling?
In response, the store manager decided to have a serious talk with her and, incidentally, give her a mandatory day off.
"Little Wang, listen to me."
"I know you need the money, and it wasn't easy for you to find this part-time job, but you also need to think about your health."
"Woof?"
The dog-girl blinked in confusion, her fluffy ears twitching twice from their droopy state, and she tilted her head to look at the shopkeeper sitting on the bench at eye level with her.
"I'm perfectly healthy, manager. If you need me to move any goods..."
"No, no, no, please don't!"
Just as the dog girl turned to move a box of pearls to the front desk to add to the toppings, the shop manager quickly stopped her.
She's hallucinating! Make her move more goods? If she collapses in the store, I'll be out of a job as store manager!
"Xiao Wang, you can go home and rest today. I'll pay you your salary as usual."
"Huh? Getting paid without doing any work... isn't that a bit much...?"
The dog girl was somewhat flattered, but she couldn't refuse the shop manager's request. Full of confusion, she changed out of her shop uniform and walked out of the milk tea shop.
Then, after looking back every three steps to confirm that he had indeed been given a day off, he slowly walked towards the school.
This little incident did not affect Yue Tianxin's plan. The Stargazer Fox was hanging not far behind the Dog Girl, observing her series of expressions and movements.
The canine beastmen and Ye Lan's wolf beastmen do indeed have many differences.
You can tell just by looking at their tails. Ye Lan's tail always hangs down, while the dog girl's tail in front of her faithfully reflects her mood, just like her own fox tail.
For example, when she turned the corner and suddenly looked back at me, her vigorously wagging tail fully reflected her excited mood.
"Little fox! You were following me after all!"
"Wow, you can really see me!"
Yue Tianxin pretended to be quite surprised and flew forward, circling the dog girl for a while before floating down in front of her with her hands on her hips and nodding.
"Hmm, very good, Wang Xiaowang, you have great potential!"
"...?"
The dog girl tilted her head even more curiously, as if this action could express her confusion and curiosity.
Very well, she's taken the bait! She's become interested in what I have to say!
While pondering the possible thoughts of the stargazer when recruiting magical girls, Yue Tianxin coughed twice, turned around to make sure there were no passersby outside the alley, and then said seriously:
"Cough cough..."
"Listen, Wang Xiaowang, I am a stargazer who has traveled from the Star Realm to this place. You can call me Yue Tianxin."
"And I saw your potential at first glance—you possess exceptional magical talent! You have extraordinary potential!"
After saying that, Yue Tianxin took out a shiny golden cross from her magic space and handed it to the dog girl in front of her, whose mouth was slightly open and whose pupils were trembling.
"So... accept this Guardian Star and become a magical girl!"
