"This is the place …."
Xiao Huan glanced at the flyer in her hand, then at the girl with the red ponytail beside her. The latter nodded.
They were standing outside a restaurant, not because they were hungry, but because they were recommended by Yakumo to come here to look for information when they were looking for the strange rumors about Shenbin City ….
"Then, sorry to disturb you …."
As she spoke, Xiao Huan carefully pushed the door open, but ….
"Welcome to Zhonghua Hotel!"
Accompanied by a lively voice, a young girl with a side ponytail suddenly jumped out, jumped in front of Xiao Huan and shouted loudly, which also gave Xiao Huan a fright.
"Huh? Um …. "
"Ah!"
Seeing the flyer in Xiao Huan's hand, the girl with the side ponytail suddenly smiled.
"So you're a magical girl too. Please come in, come in!"
"Ah, yes …."
In the face of the girl with the side ponytail's imposing manner, Xiao Huan nodded blankly, then walked into the restaurant with the girl with the red ponytail.
The interior of the restaurant looked a bit similar to the Chinese restaurants often seen in Japan — well, the ones that the Japanese thought were Chinese.
After all, Chinese restaurants would not put garlic in their dumplings and eat them with rice or ramen ….
"What would you like to eat?!"
"Um … I'll have a bowl …."
Xiao Huan subconsciously glanced at the girl with the red ponytail sitting next to her.
"Two bowls of ramen."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, the girl with a side ponytail ran into the kitchen with a grin. Then, she heard clanging sounds coming from inside the kitchen ….
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
As she spoke, the girl with the side ponytail brought out big bowls after big bowls ….
"I didn't expect a magical girl to come here after seeing the flyer. I'm so happy. Ah, right!"
While putting the food in front of the two, the girl with the side ponytail introduced herself with a smile.
"I'm the strongest magical girl of Zhonghua Hotel, Yubi Tsuruno. Please take care of me!"
"Ah, my name is Huan Caiyu, and this is …. Red Ponytail."
As she spoke, Xiao Huan nodded to Red Ponytail. She only learned this name after communicating with Red Ponytail. After the red ponytail regained consciousness, Xiao Huan asked her for her name. The red ponytail's response was to shake her twin ponytails. So Xiao Huan guessed her name several times before she guessed it correctly … although it was not really a name.
"… Umm, I only ordered two bowls of ramen?"
Looking at the fried rice and stir-fried vegetables that were bigger than her face, Xiao Huan was dumbfounded, while the red ponytail just silently stared at the dishes in front of her.
"Ah, don't worry, this is a magical girl discount!"
There's actually such a discount …
"And they're all big ones too …"
"No, this is the normal portion."
"… Eh?"
Hearing Yubi Tsuruno's answer, Xiao Huan raised her head and glanced at the girl with a ponytail who was full of smiles. She then lowered her head to look at the big bowl that was big enough to stuff her head into.
"Then … I'll start eating."
As she spoke, Xiao Huan picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, while Yubi Tsuruno stared at her with a smile.
"How is it?"
"Eh?"
Hearing Yubi Tsuruno's question, Xiao Huan's eyes drifted slightly.
"Umm, that … is delicious?"
"Really? Then how many points will you give it? "
"Sigh … Forget about the points …"
Xiao Huan's expression was inexplicably complicated, while Yubi Tsuruno stared at her excitedly with a smile on his face.
"Come on, tell me, how many points? How many points can we give our food? "
"Umm … three …."
Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment.
"… Fifty points?"
"Fifty points?!"
Hearing this answer, Yubi Tsuruno stepped back in surprise and hit the table behind her heavily.
"Ah, no, I didn't mean that!"
Seeing this, Xiao Huan also explained in a panic.
"It means that it's ordinary, it means that it's very delicious! You see, 50 points is at least half of the total …. "
"Bang!"
However, as soon as Xiao Huan finished speaking, a loud noise came from the side. The two turned their heads in surprise. They saw the red ponytail put down the empty big bowl in her hand, then stood up and walked into the kitchen. She stood in front of the pot, stretched out her hand to point at the rice pot in front of her, and looked at Yubi Tsuruno.
“？”
"What do you want to do?"
Looking at the red ponytail's action, Xiao Huan and Yubi Tsuruno were a little puzzled, but soon Xiao Huan clapped her hands.
"Ah, Big. It's probably because Little Red wants to do something too …."
"Really? Please help yourself! "
Hearing this, Yubi Tsuruno nodded with a smile. After getting permission, the red ponytail immediately took out the ingredients from the refrigerator next to her, then heated the oil on the fire, cut the vegetables, and stir-fried the meat in one go. In less than a few minutes, the red ponytail came out of the kitchen with a plate of chicken, cucumbers, peanuts, and chili ….
"This, this is …!"
Seeing this dish, Yubi Tsuruno stood up like a bolt of lightning.
"… Kung pao chicken?!"
"Click."
The red ponytail did not say a word. She put the Kung pao chicken in her hand on the table. Soon, a fragrant, spicy, and tempting smell came, causing Yubi Tsuruno and Xiao Huan to involuntarily swallow their saliva.
"It smells so good … Can I try it?"
"…"
Hearing Yubi Tsuruno's question, the red ponytail nodded. Xiao Huan and Yubi Tsuruno each took a pair of chopsticks, picked a piece from the plate, and put it in their mouths. Then …
"— — —!"
Xiao Huan's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's delicious!"
On the other side, Yubi Tsuruno knelt on the ground as if he had no strength in his body.
"I lost!"
"Ah …"
Seeing Yubi Tsuruno kneeling on the ground as if shrouded in a shadow, Xiao Huan stretched out her hand for a moment, not knowing what to say. But just as she was about to say something to comfort Yubi Tsuruno, she saw Yubi Tsuruno rush to the red ponytail's side and kneel down.
"Red ponytail master, please accept me as your disciple!!!"
"Huh?!"
Seeing this, Xiao Huan was stunned.
After a moment of chaos, everyone finally calmed down.
"I'm really sorry. You treated us to lunch, but we still …"
"It's okay, it's okay. I even got a master because of this. That's a good thing."
Yubi Tsuruno smiled and waved her hand, looking like she didn't care at all.
"But I'm sorry, I don't have much information about rumors and rumors …"
While eating, Xiao Huan also explained to Yubi Tsuruno why they came, including the "Broken Friendship Ladder" incident they had encountered before, and the monster that didn't look like a witch. This also made Yubi Tsuruno very interested, but unfortunately, as she said, Yubi Tsuruno did not have any information about this.
"Ah, by the way, I know someone who is investigating these things. I'll ask him for you."
As she spoke, Yubi Tsuruno took out her mobile phone. She took a deep breath and pressed the button. Soon, the call was connected. Yubi Tsuruno quickly picked up her mobile phone and walked to the side.
"Ah, hello, it's me. Long time no see. Um … there's a child who is investigating about the rumors … Huh?! Is it really possible?! Is it really possible?! That's great! "
After hanging up the phone happily, Yubi Tsuruno turned her head and looked at Xiao Huan and the red ponytail.
"Xiao Huan, Sensei Red Ponytail, let's go meet her now!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Huan also cheered up. In any case, there was finally a clue, wasn't there?
However, when the two followed the excited Yubi Tsuruno to the meeting place, they found that standing in front of them was an acquaintance …
"It's you again."
Qi Kai Yachiyo looked at Xiao Huan and the red ponytail and sighed helplessly.
"I'm going back."
"Wait a minute, Sensei Yachiyo!"
Seeing that Yachiyo was about to turn around and leave, Yubi Tsuruno pounced on her and grabbed her.
"Don't go! Ahhhhh!!"
Finally, under Xiao Huan's explanation, Yubi Tsuruno also understood what happened.
"What? So Sensei Yachiyo and Xiao Huan know each other? What a coincidence."
"Yes, we also received help from her regarding the 'Breaking Off Acquaintance Ladder'."
Xiao Huan also looked at Yachiyo uneasily. Yachiyo seemed to have given up under Yubi Tsuruno's persistent pestering. She had no intention of leaving. She sat on a chair and carefully looked at Xiao Huan and the red ponytail in front of her.
"I thought there would be some new information, so I came here, but now it seems that I didn't."
Yachiyo sighed helplessly as she spoke. After all, Xiao Huan and the red ponytail had already met her yesterday, so it was naturally impossible for them to have any new information.
"But forget it … Let me tell you about the situation on my side."
Having said that, Yachiyo took out a diary from her bag and opened it.
"The rumor I'm investigating now is – Yanling Shrine. This is also a rumor that has been circulating recently."
"Yanling Shrine?"
"That's right. According to the rumor, if you have a memory you want to retrieve or a person you want to find, you can come to Yanling Shrine, write the person's name on a horse, and pay homage according to the traditional etiquette. Then, you can meet the person you've been thinking about day and night."
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huan's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't the person she had been thinking about day and night her sister? In other words, as long as she came to Yanling Shrine, she would be able to see her sister?
"I've investigated. In fact, there are people who said they saw her."
"Really?!"
"If that's true, that's amazing."
Hearing this, both Xiao Huan and Tsuruno became excited, while the red ponytail was still drinking her cola silently.
"But these people didn't continue to update their posts after that. It's very likely that they disappeared like the previous Stairs of Broken Relations."
"I see …"
Hearing this, Xiao Huan also frowned. If there was anything particularly strange about the Stairs of Broken Relations monster, it was that after defeating it, the missing people actually came back unscathed.
This was completely different from the Witch. Witches could eat people. Generally speaking, once a person was caught by a Witch, there was almost no hope of survival. For example, in the Stairs of Broken Relations, many children had disappeared for several days. If this had happened to an ordinary Witch, she would have eaten them up long ago.
However, after the Witch of Broken Relations was defeated, she was still able to bring back the missing people. Although they had lost their memories, everything else was normal. This was really puzzling.
"In short … Let's investigate first."
Yachiyo closed the diary and stood up.
"According to the rumored birthplace, the Yanling Shrine should be in this area."
