"By the way, has the Hero Association asked you about your codename?"
later.
On the proper rooftop, Hyacinth stood before the phantom wooden stake shaped like a hellcat.
"Ah...yes, the Hero Association told me that the codename I'm going to use is 'Thousand Mile Fragrance,' and I heard that I can choose any name I want. I haven't decided what to choose yet."
Wang Xiaowang stood awkwardly beside the hyacinth, his tail wagging from side to side.
The white magical costume with black patterns was quite eye-catching. The dog girl held a wand in her hand that matched the color of the costume, looking as nervous as a newcomer.
Although it wasn't her first time on this rooftop.
"So, Little Wang, do you have a preferred code name?"
Nightingale suddenly popped out from behind the dog girl and said curiously, which startled Wang Xiaowang so much that he jumped up.
"Woof! I prefer... I like Iris-senpai's style... but I don't think I'm very good at her elegant long-range firepower..."
At this point, Wang Xiaowang glanced at the magic wand in his hand.
Rather than using a wand to cast spells in battle, Wang Xiaowang felt that he preferred to directly transform his magic into dog claws and engage in close-quarters combat, similar to the Hellcat's fighting style.
"There's no need to learn your seniors' fighting style. Just do what you're best at."
The white ferret leisurely flew to Wang Xiaowang's shoulder, plopped down next to the dog girl's head, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Wang Xiaowang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"But having a code name you like is also quite important. Look at Nightingale, she wasn't very satisfied with Sunflower at the time, so she asked to change it to Nightingale now."
"Hmph, the nightingale's song is much better than the sunflower's!"
Lin Muyao said confidently.
This left Wang Xiaowang in a state of confusion and deep thought, pondering for a long time what he was truly suited for.
Should we follow the style of using flowers as code names like Hyacinth and Iris, or should we follow the style of Nightingale and have our own unique approach?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaowang couldn't help but close his eyes and ask himself his first thought.
A code name is something that people can immediately associate with you. It doesn't need to be too fancy, but it should still reflect your characteristics to some extent.
That being the case...
"I've made up my mind."
Wang Xiaowang said.
My code name is—
.
"【Arisaema】".
Su Tianqing murmured the code name to herself.
If I remember correctly, this is the name of a Chinese herbal medicine. Its branches and leaves spread out in a fan shape, sheltering the bright red fruit from the wind and rain.
This aligns with Wang Xiaowang's personality; let her do what she likes.
"Woof, does Sister Sunny like this code name?"
"Of course I like it! It's a really cute code name, and it suits your story and personality perfectly, Xiao Wang!"
Su Tianqing said with a smile.
Nan Xiaofeng and his two companions sat at the table, eating their food and sharing their opinions on the code name.
But since Wang Xiaowang chose this code name herself, the three of them respected the dog girl's choice.
In short!
Nan Xiaofeng raised his drink cup, smiled at his companions, and said...
"Cheers to Xiao Wang's success!"
""Cheers——""
The Hyacinth Team's tradition of eating after a victory has been maintained to this day, and Wang Xiaowang, as a newcomer, was able to experience it successfully right from the start.
Su Tianqing happened to have no classes this afternoon, and Xiaoyu also needed to rush to the academic affairs office to submit some materials, so she and Nan Xiaofeng came out to enjoy a rare celebratory dinner.
After a satisfying meal, the group walked home, chatting and laughing.
Su Tianqing deliberately kept a distance, observing the cheerful expressions of the three, including Hyacinth, and secretly chuckled to herself.
They had no idea what would happen next, which gave them plenty of anticipation.
"Woof, Sister Sunny Day."
Wang Xiaowang seemed to sense that Su Tianqing was a little lonely walking alone at the back of the group, so he quietly broke away from the conversation and followed the fox girl, wagging his dog tail vigorously.
"Little Wang, why aren't you chatting with Mu Yao and the others?"
"Um... because, because I wanted to chat with you for a while."
The dog-girl chuckled, like a child showing off to its mother, and said:
"Sister Tianqing, you told me that 'becoming a magical girl requires unwavering faith,' and I did just that yesterday!"
"I see. You gave birth to this belief to protect your friends, which is why the Guardian Star responded to your call and the stars bestowed their blessings upon you."
Su Tianqing's smile remained unchanged.
"But I'm a little surprised... Xiao Wang, you and Alice are actually friends?"
"Yes, we are very, very good friends!" The dog girl answered with a smile, a little shy.
But then, as if she had realized the metaphor in the question, she slowed down her tail wagging, as if she was thinking and hesitating about something.
Su Tianqing could easily guess what she was thinking.
Her identity to her is the magical girl "Dandelion," the final ace of the Hyacinth Squad, with a very close relationship with the Hero Association, making her arguably the mastermind behind the Rongcheng Squad.
As a rookie magical girl, she finds herself to be friends with the villainous magical girl, Alice...
"No matter who you are protecting, Xiao Wang, that person is definitely the one you most want to protect deep down."
Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
"Alice protected the students in the dormitory, and you reached out to her when she was treated unfairly."
"Whether she is our ally or not is not important. What is important is that you have fulfilled the greatest duty of a magical girl—[protection]."
"You are a qualified and promising magical girl, and the fact that Fanxing recognizes you is full proof of this."
Upon hearing this, the dog girl's expression visibly brightened. She hesitated for a long time beside Su Tianqing, unsure of what to do, and finally expressed her feelings by wagging her tail.
Seeing her lively dog tail, the fluffy fox tail couldn't help but sway back and forth a few times.
interesting.
So funny.
Wang Xiaowang has formed such a deep friendship with Alice, which is exactly what I wanted to see.
What I admire most is this friendship, and the shining belief that led to the birth of the magical girls.
It even made me look forward to what I would see in the upcoming spot-the-difference activity.
[Quest: Experimental Use of a New Legendary Spell]
The familiar found this mysterious task in the secret manual.
The task description is very simple: assign the legendary spell that just came from the hidden shop to your daily spot-the-difference activity. As long as it is used and fully effective, you will receive a Divine Tome Stone. It's very simple and straightforward.
What, Mystic Codex? You're probably just itching for me to use that hilarious body to swap magic right now?
It seems that those who know the secrets of the fox have mastered it. This fox is also eager to test this magic.
How about tonight?
No, absolutely not today.
Today is still Wang Xiaowang's newbie protection period, so we should let those wild weirdos grind her down for at least two days.
This fox is an excellent villain with a clear self-awareness!
Once they've lowered their guard and I've rested and arranged everything in my mental world, I'll give them a big surprise!
