Chapter 405 The Hunting Dog
noon.
The bell rang at noon, signaling the end of classes at Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences.
The students saluted their instructors and left, carrying their books and bags. Nan Xiaofeng stretched in his seat and looked at Hua Ling beside him.
Hua Ling was finishing up her notes when she caught a glimpse of Nan Xiaofeng making a move out of the corner of her eye, so she turned to look at her.
Then tilt your head.
"Hualing, you're studying very hard!" Nan Xiaofeng said.
"Hmm... I feel like I've fallen behind a lot, so I plan to make up for it during class."
Hua Ling answered with a wry smile.
Because of the magical girl activities, the energy I spend at school is inevitably diverted a lot of attention, so I have to work extra hard in class to make up for the energy that is taken up.
"But..."
After confirming that all the students around him had left, Nan Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance out the window, looking in the direction of the student dormitory.
Yesterday, a dormitory at the Liberal Arts Academy was attacked by a monster, and half of the girls' dormitory was destroyed. The Hero Association is currently carrying out emergency repairs.
All the students in that dormitory building were temporarily arranged to stay in off-campus hotels, including several of Nan Xiaofeng's own classmates who lived on campus.
"I never expected that a weirdo would appear near our school. The influence of this magic storm is far too great."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Bai Ling was saying this morning that the Astral Realm has raised the storm warning level to red, which means it's quite serious."
"Hopefully, no monsters like yesterday will show up tonight..."
Who knows?
After a brief conversation, the two walked out of the classroom side by side and headed towards the cafeteria.
But as soon as I entered the cafeteria, a somewhat familiar dog-girl came running towards me.
Upon spotting Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling, she quickly braked and stopped, her tail wagging vigorously behind her as she greeted them.
"Good afternoon, Xiaofeng! Good afternoon, Hualing!"
"Ah, it's Xiao Wang, good afternoon." "Good afternoon."
Nan Xiaofeng blinked in surprise and returned the greeting.
Hana-ryu returned the greeting politely.
I met Wang Xiaowang last time when I came to the dormitory with Sister Tianqing. She is also my junior magical girl and successfully transformed into a new magical girl last night.
This rapid progress amazed everyone. While marveling at Wang Xiaowang's outstanding talent, they were also somewhat puzzled by her initiative to protect Alice.
—Hualin could not accept the Fenfeng's pursuit and arrest of Alice.
During her time as a magical girl, Iris, Karin clearly understood the fundamental difference between Alice and Jack the Ripper, and also heard from Kokoro about her series of explanations regarding Jack the Ripper.
And Fenfeng's actions were undoubtedly paying the price for her own obsession by using the London Society's arrest warrant.
After talking with her companions, Hua Ling discovered that she wasn't the only one who thought this way; Lin Muyao and Nan Xiaofeng shared the same opinion.
Even Bai Ling expressed her incomprehension of Fen Feng's behavior and contacted Miss Yue Tianxin to talk to Miss Mei Lin, trying to learn about Fen Feng's experiences and stories from the lion spirit Mei Lin.
The final conclusion was that "Fenfeng was just holding it in; a good beating will fix it."
"Little Wang, why did you bring two lunchboxes?"
Upon noticing the two differently shaped insulated lunch boxes in Wang Xiaowang's hand, Nan Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask a question.
The dog-girl's bright smile faded slightly, and her voice became much softer.
"Oh... My roommate twisted her ankle when we evacuated the dorm yesterday after an attack, so she has trouble walking. I'm bringing her food back for her."
"Oh, is this Aurora?"
Hana Rin immediately recalled the blonde transfer student she had seen in the dormitory that day, and she was deeply impressed by this transfer student who had come all the way from abroad.
Wang Xiaowang wagged its tail excitedly.
"Yes, woof! I'll head back to the hotel now. Let's play together another day!"
"Then drive carefully."
"Okay!"
The dog girl ran off energetically, and the two looked back at her tail, which swayed like a propeller as if propelling her body, and could only marvel at the boundless energy of this large canine beastman.
"I didn't expect Aurora to sprain her ankle, but luckily she has Xiao Wang as her roommate. They seem to get along quite well."
"Stop talking about that, I'm starving! Let's go get some food!"
……
Two people are queuing up for food in the cafeteria.
Wang Xiaowang jogged out of the cafeteria, quickly crossed the pedestrian overpass, and walked ahead of many students.
Beneath her feet flowed the ever-present stream of vehicles in Chengdu, and around her strolled leisurely pedestrians at midday. Only the dog-girl's brisk pace seemed out of place.
But only Wang Xiaowang knew that as her roommate and Aurora's friend, making sure she had a hot meal was the most important thing for her at noon today.
Even the two magical girl seniors, Karin and Kaze, couldn't interrupt this!
"Ding-dong~"
A melodious bell rang from the hotel elevator.
The door to room 822 on the 8th floor was tightly closed. Wang Xiaowang put down his lunchbox and knocked on the door. A girl's voice immediately answered from inside.
"Here it comes—is that Little Wang?"
"It's me, woof! I brought back lots of delicious food, woof!"
The dog girl wagged her tail excitedly at the door. When Aurora came over and opened the door, the dog girl wagged her tail even more vigorously, almost as if she was about to pounce on her.
The hotel room was spacious, and the desk was large enough to fit two unfolded lunchboxes.
"The cafeteria had lots of delicious food at noon today; it's supposedly a sponsored meal specially delivered by the Hero Association."
Wang Xiaowang happily arranged the plates on the table.
"Look at this, this is my absolute favorite braised pork trotter, and this too, this stir-fried pork with green peppers is also delicious, and the boiled pork slices and cold sliced pork salad are top-notch!"
"This is such a feast...and it smells so good."
Aurora stared in astonishment at the dazzling array of dishes before her, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Since I came to Chengdu, the quality of food has improved dramatically. Thinking back to what I ate every day when I was studying in London, my mouth is watering.
"And I even managed to snag this! It's called braised chicken hearts! It's rare to see them sold in the cafeteria; they're always sold out whenever I go. I can't believe I managed to get so many today!"
The dog-girl brought out a plate of heart-shaped fruits that exuded a rich, salty aroma. Only five or six were visible, which greatly surprised Aurora, who had never tasted this kind of braised food before.
"Are we sure we can finish all this food?"
"Of course I can finish it! ...Ah, Aurora, you need to eat more."
"I already told you it's just a minor injury, I'll be fully recovered tonight."
"Well, eating more will help you recover faster!"
The dog girl chuckled and said, while Aurora smiled wryly and picked up a spoon and fork to pierce a braised chicken heart. With a little worry, she put it in her mouth and was immediately conquered by its chewy texture.
"This is delicious!"
"I told you it would be super delicious!"
The dog girl said with a smile, just like a hunting dog returning from a hunt to show off its prey.
They didn't even notice the message from the Hero Association.
