The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 347 Making New Friends in the New Year

"Cheers!! Happy New Year!!"

At the dining table, the group clinked glasses happily.

Nan Xiaofeng took a sip of the bubbling carbonated drink, let out a long breath, picked up a piece of meat from the dipping sauce dish in front of her with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth to chew carefully.

Su Tianqing was also gnawing on a chicken wing, sitting next to Nan Jiayu, who was nibbling on crab meat strips, and occasionally feeding him food.

"Little fish, ah—"

"Aww... Hmm, is this cod? It tastes really good."

"Hehe~ Cod is this restaurant's signature dish!"

"It's a bit spicy, I'll go get some drinks."

"I'd like a coconut juice—"

This is a very popular hot pot restaurant.

Aurora sat calmly by the hot pot, watching the several authentic Chengdu locals in front of her devour the red broth, while she ate small bites of meat and vegetables from her own bowl.

As for Fei Yelan, this person from the mountain city...

"The food at this restaurant is really authentic, almost the same as what I had in Chongqing," the gray wolf girl said with interest.

"I heard the owner came from Chongqing to do business here, so it seems really authentic," Lin Muyao said from across the table.

Aurora remained silent, focusing solely on eating.

[Task Completed]

[Daily Task 1: New Year's Day Lazy Time - Completed]

The secret code thoughtfully sent the New Year's reward to Su Tianqing's account, allowing her to enjoy the notification sound of Alipay's payment even during a pleasant dinner.

Since it's the New Year, I'll let Hyacinth and Osmanthus off the hook for now. We can go find some fun after everyone has enjoyed the holiday.

You can also replenish your cat's energy to your heart's content!

The fox girl then fed the cat girl a peeled shrimp, thoroughly enjoying this limited-time event of feeding the cat.

The group sat in a private room at the hot pot restaurant, excitedly discussing Qiu Gui's concert that day.

"Today's performance was as wonderful as ever!" Nan Xiaofeng said.

"Yes, I really loved today's opening song." Rabbit Girl Xia Taotao chimed in happily, showing no signs of social anxiety when discussing magical girls.

"Does Sister Tao Tao actually like the opening song too?" Lin Muyao asked, tilting her head.

"Of course! I also have a complete set of Qiu Gui and her friends' old reissue album cassettes and vinyl records!"

"Oh my god, that's super rare! I remember it was a limited edition of 10,000 sets released last year?"

"I haven't bought any of the latest vinyl records, but I do have a set of affordable cassette tapes in my collection."

"You actually collect cassette tapes and vinyl records...that's amazing..." Karin exclaimed in amazement, her eyes filled with awe at the sight of a passionate magical girl fan.

To the unsuspecting, this private room appeared to be a gathering of student friends for the New Year.

But for Su Tianqing, who knew both sides well, this magical girl gathering was incredibly interesting.

What? You mean Aurora's forced transformation near dusk?

Hmph, I had already thought of this. I removed Aurora's transformation from today's form on the villain's rooftop before the dinner party!

Watching Xia Taotao discuss the collection of magical girl merchandise with Nan Xiaofeng and Lin Muyao, Su Tianqing smiled and ate another hot pot meatball.

For Rabbit, having someone who shares her interests and hobbies to chat with is enough.

Although I could chat with her for a while, my knowledge of magical girl-related topics was severely lacking, and I couldn't compare to Rabbit in her information form at all.

Currently, the only people who can get along with Rabbit are probably the very excited Nan Xiaofeng and Lin Muyao.

All three were avid fans, and Rabbit was currently showing them photos of the merchandise she had taken with her phone.

Although Su Tianqing didn't know much about the magical girl merchandise circle, judging from the occasional exclamations of surprise from the two girls, Rabbit must have shown them some pretty exciting merchandise.

"These two are limited edition items that I bought in Shanghai a long time ago."

"They even have red roses and lilacs..."

"I know this! It's a limited-edition handmade plastic flower arrangement made of lilac! I saw someone selling this on the forum last time, and it cost tens of thousands!"

Will Sister Tao sell it?

"I can't bear to sell it! I got it at a Lilac meet-and-greet a long time ago!"

"Oh oh oh—"

.

It wasn't until everyone finished their meal and left that Nan Xiaofeng reluctantly said goodbye to Xia Taotao.

Sitting on the subway home, Nan Xiaofeng said excitedly:

"Jia Yu! Tian Qing! Are you really classmates with Tao Tao?"

"Of course, and we met in front of a nearby shop," Su Tianqing replied seriously.

"Sister Tao is amazing! She has so many incredible items!"

Nan Xiaofeng's excitement was palpable.

"If I have the chance, I'd love to visit her collection room. Mu Yao, what about you? You must want to go too, right?"

"Of course, Red Rose's debut postcards alone are already antique treasures," Lin Muyao nodded in reply.

Nan Jiayu sighed helplessly.

Xiaofeng was able to find like-minded people in the area, and as her older sister, I should be happy. But why am I feeling so helpless?

Could it be because he knew about Xia Taotao's strange state?

They exchanged a glance with the fox girl beside them, and the cat and fox shrugged simultaneously, their faces showing a wry smile.

Even Su Tianqing felt extremely troubled by the thought of her companion, Xia Taotao.

First of all, the villains are all very individualistic.

The cat is a battle maniac; fighting and combat bring her joy. The dog hasn't figured out what she likes yet, but she seems to enjoy getting beaten up.

Aurora was interested in everything, and after resolving the trouble caused by the Ripper, Su Tianqing felt that Aurora could choose the fun she wanted to find.

But rabbits are different.

Rabbit is a very pure person; her joy lies in being a magical girl.

That's right, magical girls themselves are the source of Bunny's greatest joy.

Whether in a normal pose, a pose where she is bound by monsters like slime tentacles and vines, or a terrified pose after being knocked to the ground,

All of these things can immerse Rabbit in them and make her feel happy.

……

"So..."

Later, on the villain's rooftop.

Magical girl Kokoro stands on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the city below, immersed in the New Year's atmosphere, and whispers softly.

"It's time for us to discuss some of the issues we're currently facing."

"First, Alice!"

The fox girl turned around and looked at the live-streaming room's rest area behind her.

Alice was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons when she heard Su Tianqing's voice and quickly looked up.

Like a startled, nervous kitten, Su Tianqing thought.

"Tomorrow we'll be facing another attack from the Ripper Monster. This time I want to conduct some experiments, and I hope you can cooperate."

"Is it coming?" "Fox's mysterious experiment..." "What will it be like this time?"

The three of them—cat, rabbit, and wolf—whispered a complaint.

Su Tianqing herself wasn't very confident either.

The last time I did an experiment was at the Rongcheng Bus Station, which was also the first time I met Xiaoyu.

I was very confident at the time and used a real battle to test the slime monster's splitting ability. Who would have thought that I underestimated the hyacinth's ability to take a beating and almost failed on the spot.

"This time is different! Don't worry!"

The golden fox cried out.

"Besides, I conducted this experiment to get rid of that gut-cracking monster once and for all!"

"You guys don't want to have to get together every other day and beat up that guy who's covered in razor blades, do you?"

"Fox is right, I really have no intention of fighting that guy." Even the battle-crazed cat frankly admitted.

"Alice, I'd like to trouble you to cooperate with my experiment!"

The blonde girl nodded seriously, hugging the plush toy in her arms tightly, her expression serious and earnest.

"Oh, so what exactly was the experiment?"

The fox spirit took a deep breath and said mysteriously:

"We'll meet in the suburbs tomorrow night."

"Alice, you go and take down that monster with the open chest by yourself."
