Chapter 26: Am I going to become a magical girl too?
In the kitchen, Cheng Qi was standing on a small stool, flipping the fried eggs in the pan with a spatula.
While making breakfast, she was also thinking about another problem.
Regarding the chief eunuch's daily routine.
Last night, I naturally let her go to work on her writing, but her bad habit of staying up all night hasn't changed. Not only did she not go to bed early yesterday, but because she regained her "feel" for writing, she actually dragged it out even later.
At least 3 a.m., when Cheng Qi went to the toilet, he found that the light in the chief eunuch's room was still on.
So this guy was still sleeping this morning, and it looks like he'll be sleeping until noon again.
"That won't do..."
Cheng Qi muttered to himself.
Staying up late for extended periods and skipping breakfast... your health will inevitably suffer sooner or later.
The author's health is paramount. To ensure the Grand Eunuch maintains a healthy body for continued writing, she absolutely cannot be allowed to develop such a bad habit!
It's time to find an opportunity to use hypnotic commands to correct her biological clock. For example, setting something like, "She'll feel so sleepy at midnight that she has to go to bed, and she'll naturally wake up at 8 a.m.," etc.
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
After the door was pushed open, Liu Xiali walked in first. Beside her was another junior high school student, who was slightly taller than Liu Xiali. She had shoulder-length short hair and was wearing a somewhat mature-looking top and denim shorts.
Of course, besides these two people, Cheng Qi also saw another pink creature floating in mid-air next to them—
A pink rabbit with a pair of small wings floated in from above and behind Liu Xiali and the strange girl.
"Oh! This is the maid you were talking about... the one who was taken in by her senior? Wow, she's so cute!"
As soon as the unfamiliar junior high school student entered the room, he immediately saw the blue-haired girl standing on a stool, busy in front of the stove. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and then looked Su Chenjin up and down with great interest.
Upon seeing the arrival of the people, Su Chenjin turned off the gas stove, calmly stepped down from the stool, and gave a slight bow to the two newcomers.
"Hello, Miss Xia Li. And this gentleman is...?"
"My name is Xie Lan, and I'm also a magical girl. Nice to meet you, older sister."
The other person began introducing themselves. Then, she glanced curiously at the stove and asked, "Are you making breakfast?"
"Yes, I was just about to wake Miss Lin up after I finished preparing it." Su Chenjin nodded.
"She won't wake up until noon!" Liu Xiali casually sat down on a chair. "Just call her for lunch!"
What kind of perception did the chief eunuch's companions have of her useless nature?
Su Chenjin maintained a serious expression: "Miss Lin's schedule is indeed irregular, but I will try to help her gradually adjust it to a normal routine. Have you two had breakfast yet? If you don't mind, I'll make two more servings for you..."
"Oh, no need to trouble yourself, we already ate when we arrived," Xie Lan politely declined. But she quickly changed the subject, a somewhat expectant smile appearing on her face: "However, Miss Su's cooking looks very good, could you make us lunch? We'll probably be eating here at noon."
"Of course, that's no problem."
Su Chenjin agreed. This was a great opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with the two magical girls.
only……
Su Chenjin had been unable to resist looking up at the top of Liu Xiali and Xie Lan's heads ever since. The pink, long-eared rabbit was hovering in mid-air, wagging its little tail, making it impossible to ignore.
"Um..." Su Chenjin pointed upwards, "You two... what is that thing floating up there?"
"Huh? You can see me?!" the pink rabbit exclaimed in surprise.
"You can see Meng Ke?!" Liu Xiali and Xie Lan exclaimed almost in unison.
Soon, Liu Xiali stood up from her chair and rushed to Su Chenjin's side.
"I never knew you had the potential to be a magical girl! Senpai has really struck gold this time!"
The pink rabbit named "Mengke" quickly approached Su Chenjin, sizing her up. "She really does possess a powerful magical talent! I didn't even notice! What a lapse in my duty!"
Hearing the exclamations from the person and the rabbit, Su Chenjin belatedly realized what was happening.
So that pink rabbit that was always flying in the sky was the so-called "seed planter"!
When I was chatting with Mo Ran Ying at the base before, she mentioned that most girls in the material world who want to become magical girls are given a "seed of heart" by a "seed of heart" by a "seedling" fairy and then awaken.
Moreover, the Seeders are not visible to just anyone. Only those who are already magical girls, magicians, or ordinary people with magical potential can see these fairies.
The question I just blurted out has undoubtedly proven to them that I have the potential to become a magical girl!
Before Cheng Qi could figure out how to react, Meng Ke had already flown in front of her.
"With such strong potential... young lady, you must become a magical girl!"
Immediately afterwards, Mengke reached out with her paws and handed over a perfectly round, crystal-clear gem.
"Come, young girl! Hold it! Press it against your heart! Open your heart and connect with the 'Seed of the Heart.' Make a contract with me and become a magical girl!"
"..."
Looking at the glowing Heart Seed in front of her, and then at Liu Xiali and Xie Lan beside her who were looking on expectantly, Su Chenjin felt inexplicably hesitant.
...Is everything alright?!
Can I really... become a magical girl?
It's perfectly normal for a girl to dream of becoming a magical girl. And since "Su Chenjin" is currently in a female body, she wouldn't have any reservations about receiving the Seed of the Heart.
Or rather, this is the dream of most girls.
I should be overjoyed and eager to accept the seed of the heart.
However, a strong impulse suddenly welled up in Cheng Qi's heart, making her want to refuse the opportunity to become a magical girl.
It wasn't worry or fear, but a feeling that came from the bottom of my heart.
...How strange, why do I have this feeling?
What exactly are I worried about and afraid of?
Zhang Menglin had already assured me that she could definitely become a magical girl, so was I questioning her abilities?
As the leader of a villainous organization opposing the magical kingdom... is it really appropriate for him to acquire the same abilities as a magical girl?
Do I really... have the qualifications to become a magical girl?
