Chapter 307 Life is like rice blossoms, subtle yet magnificent.
"This is a report from Gangcheng Broadcasting and Television Station."
"In response to the recent attack by a strange person in the center of the port city, the Port City Hero Association and the magical girl teams from various places have worked together to basically repair the disaster site."
"When returning, please be sure to follow the instructions of the association staff and avoid dangerous areas to avoid unnecessary harm."
The car radio was playing programs, mostly about the renovation of the port city.
Nan Xiaofeng silently reached out and adjusted the radio, switching to a magical girl-themed radio program.
But what came from the program was a voice that sent a shiver down her spine:
Good morning, friends of Gangcheng! I'm your special guest today, Xinyuehu!
Did everyone follow the grand finale in Hong Kong yesterday? I, Fox, and Miss Inari gave it our all!
"..."
Nan Xiaofeng wanted to switch off the radio immediately, but Lin Muyao and Hua Ling stopped him at the same time.
"Hey! What are you two doing?! I don't want to listen to that stinky fox talk!"
"Quick, hold her down! Don't let her switch radio stations!"
"Seatbelts! Seatbelts! Secure her!"
A commotion erupted in the back seat. Red Zircon, sitting expressionlessly in the driver's seat, called out to the three:
"Quiet down! This car can't withstand this kind of abuse!"
A somewhat old car drives on the port city viaduct, heading straight for the port city international airport.
Zixuan sat in the passenger seat, glancing wryly at Hyacinth, who was tightly strapped to the back seat, while watching the radio talk show "Heart Moon Fox" and looking ahead.
The sun is shining brightly today.
And I also received a call that I hadn't heard from in ten years—
Note: 【Chiho-nee】.
Nangong Qianhui, her older sister whom she hadn't contacted for ten years, called her to say that her plane would arrive in the port city this morning.
Fly directly from across the ocean to the port city.
This made Zixuan very excited, and she immediately pulled Xiaohong and two other companions along, and even Nan Xiaofeng and the other two were pulled along to go to Hong Kong International Airport to pick them up.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hong's car could only accommodate 2+3 passengers, so Aquamarine and Peridot had to take a taxi and agreed to meet at the airport entrance.
With such emotional support, even Xin Yuehu's voice on the radio became gentle.
Although that golden fox's voice was always soft and sweet.
"Miss Xinyuehu, may I ask you a question?"
"Please speak."
"We've compiled some questions that viewers are eager to ask you, and the top one is—[What has been your purpose in causing trouble for the magical girls all this time?]"
"I see, just as I imagined."
The fox girl's soft laughter,
"—It's fun."
"Me and the cats and rabbits only get together to do things because of our shared interests."
"We all found the process of finding fault with the magical girls very interesting, their reactions were also very interesting, and everyone was happy to see my series of funny antics."
"Perhaps... the magical girls are enjoying it too?"
The fox girl's laughter came through the radio.
Nan Xiaofeng was securely strapped to the back seat by the seatbelt, staring expressionlessly at the exit of the overpass ahead.
The runway of the port city international airport has come into view, and the terminal building has also appeared in sight.
Zixuan was excited and secretly clenched the hem of her dress.
……
"It's so hard to park here!"
"You're lucky if you can even find a parking space!"
Xiao Hong vented her frustration about the parking spaces in the local dialect, while Zi Xuan comforted her with a wry smile.
Nan Xiaofeng couldn't understand their encrypted conversation and looked ahead at the bustling airport terminal entrance.
There were many people entering the station, and many people exiting the station as well.
As an international metropolis and a rare free trade port, Hong Kong International Airport has always been a transit hub and important transportation node for international flights, with an astonishing number of passengers.
"Hey, you guys are here pretty early."
A familiar greeting rang out from not far away.
Nan Xiaofeng turned her head and met the gaze of two girls who were smiling and greeting her.
Magical Girl Aquamarine and Magical Girl Peridot, their true forms.
Good morning, Lanxi.
Little Red waved and greeted the aquamarine's main body.
"Did you also come here specifically to pick up Zixuan's sister?" Nan Xiaofeng asked the girl behind Hailanshi with some curiosity.
The composed and serene young woman nodded.
"Yes, Zixuan specifically invited us over."
Qing Ning nodded and said helplessly.
As the magical girl Peridot, Qingning is unaware of Inari's true identity.
Or rather, only Xiao Hong in the entire team knew these inside stories.
"What's your sister's flight number again?" Hua Ling asked curiously.
Zixuan thought for a while, then took out her phone and looked at it carefully.
"Hmm... It's scheduled to land at 10:30, which is about ten minutes away. Let's go wait in the exit hall."
The girls went together.
While waiting, everyone chatted idly.
Lan tide and Xiao Hong asked Nan Xiao Feng about the series of troubles that Guan Yinyuehu had caused in Rongcheng. The latter righteously denounced the golden-haired fox, which made Hua Ling and the other person laugh.
Zixuan and Hualing had a friendly discussion about the techniques of magic sniping and magic cannon bombardment, and both seemed to have a lot of experience.
Only Qingning and Lin Muyao, who were there to assist, sat to the side sharing tea from each other's thermos cups, their eyes calm like two old men taking a stroll.
After the Jormungandr incident, the magical girls became even more closely connected.
The Wheat Squad and the White Lily Squad also began a series of liaison activities, which seemed to enhance their relationship.
At least that's what some of them think.
"Whoosh—"
The faint rumble of the plane landing could be heard.
The arrival flight number announced over the loudspeaker already says it all.
"That's the plane!"
Zixuan excitedly got up and ran towards the exit gate.
The group exchanged glances, gave a helpless wry smile, and then followed in her footsteps.
Little Red, however, felt a little apprehensive.
I know perfectly well who Zixuan's sister is.
Nanamichi Chiho, the magical girl Inari who disappeared for ten years.
Xiao Hong didn't understand why she suddenly appeared on the battlefield yesterday, but since she was willing to appear, it meant that she must also be willing to see her sister.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent that last scheduled email.
Zixuan was a little nervous.
What will my sister look like when we meet again after ten years apart?
Ten years have passed. I have grown up, and my sister has also spent ten years living abroad. I wonder if she has settled down and started her own family.
What should I say to her? "Long time no see?" Or perhaps...
"Please exit the gate in an orderly manner. Welcome to the port city. Have a pleasant journey."
The broadcast started.
Zixuan craned her neck, gazing at the exit gate, eagerly anticipating the figure she hadn't seen for ten years.
Nan Xiaofeng and the others stood behind Zi Xuan in tacit agreement, leaving enough space for the two sisters.
But when the petite red fox girl dragged her suitcase out of the exit gate, everyone's gaze froze for a moment.
Zixuan, in particular, stared blankly at the petite red fox, whose ears were not even as tall as her, completely bewildered.
Everyone says that orcs develop more slowly than humans, but surely they haven't changed at all from what I remember them looking like ten years ago...?
"Zixuan!—"
Seeing the familiar figure of the young girl in the distance, the red-haired fox waved vigorously, and its crimson tail swayed behind it.
Zixuan was not stunned by the appearance of the person in front of her for long. She quickly ran forward to her, and the two sisters embraced in the hall.
"Sister! You're finally back!"
The girl's voice was choked with sobs.
The red fox girl, or rather, Nangong Qianhui, gently embraced her younger sister whom she hadn't seen for ten years, and gently patted her body and back, which were no longer large enough for her to hold.
"Ten years have passed, and you've grown up too, Zixuan."
Chiho whispered in the girl's ear.
Zi Xuan could no longer contain her emotions and sobbed in the arms of the petite red fox.
Nangong Qianhui opened her arms as always.
Although, in her mind, she had just comforted her younger sister, who was reluctant to see her leave the country, to sleep the day before.
She saw a row of girls standing not far away.
I saw the once-naive juniors, I saw the hyacinths that came all the way from Chengdu, and I saw the new generation of juniors who shone like stars in the battle against the giant beasts.
"……I'm back."
Magical Girl Inari has completed her great mission.
Returning to her long-lost family and friends, returning to the city she once single-handedly protected.
Her brilliant life—has only just begun.
