The Tentacle Girl's Child Can't Be a Magical Girl

Chapter 41 Non-existent Physics and Biology

The Maple Leaf District Library is located in the quietest corner of the university town. It is a four-story gray-white building with ivy climbing all over its exterior walls.

Unlike the dilapidated Parrot District, the windows here are always sparkling clean, the automatic doors at the entrance open and close silently, and students carrying books come and go.

Bai Yuze pushed open the door and entered.

The afternoon sun slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the wooden reading table.

The air was filled with the scent of paper and a faint fragrance of jasmine. The air quality here was worlds apart from that in the Parrot District.

If you inhale the latter for a long time, getting asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease would be considered a good outcome.

After entering the library,

Bai Yuze arrived at the study area on the third floor with familiarity. He glanced around the library and then slowly walked to a window seat.

First, I took the laptop out of my bag.

Afterwards, he borrowed several books related to the Abyss from the librarian and began to finish his final report.

"Analysis Report on Physiological Adaptation Evolution and Potential Risks of Individuals Exposed to Low Concentrations of Miasma".

I just opened the laptop,

You can see seven or eight spreadsheet folders, each spreadsheet is densely packed with colorful pages, which looks quite professional.

The only downside is that it hurts your eyes if you look at it for too long.

……

The reason Bai Yuze came to the library.

This is also the main reason why the viewing experience of e-books is still not as good as that of paper books.

One or two hours later,

Bai Yuze typed a few lines, stopped, stared at the screen for a while, and then typed a few more lines.

Then he leaned back.

I rubbed my eyes.

"Tsk..."

The sample size in the database is still insufficient.

The data collected from the dark alleys a few days ago was indeed quite substantial, but the concentration of miasma was still somewhat high.

If this data is used to complete the final assignment, to put it nicely, the survey data is somewhat biased; to put it bluntly, it's off-topic.

It's obvious without even thinking.

Professor Mu is certainly not satisfied with such data.

never mind,

Let's take a break.

He got up, picked up his water glass, and walked towards the elevator. The public water dispenser was at the end of the corridor, as he passed the row of public computers next to the elevator.

I casually plugged in a USB drive.

Ten seconds later,

The water in the cup is empty.

Bai Yuze unplugged the USB drive and returned to his seat.

But instead of starting to study, he stood by the window, holding a water glass, his gaze casually sweeping over the long table against the wall diagonally opposite him.

The class monitor was sitting there.

Her long black hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, and she wore a light gray cardigan over her school uniform. She was looking down at the thick book in her hand, "Advanced Abyss Energy Studies," which was thick enough to kill someone.

Sunlight fell on her profile, outlining a soft contour. She would occasionally mark something on the page with her pen, sometimes stop and stare blankly at a particular page, and sometimes raise her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

You know what,

From a distance,

Watching this class monitor, who looks about the same age as a junior high school girl, study diligently is quite a sight.

For a while,

A emotionless loli doesn't seem so unacceptable after all.

no,

No no no!

Some fundamental principles cannot be changed!

Bai Yuzhe looked at it for about three seconds.

Then he looked away.

I sat back down in my seat and continued staring at the data on the computer screen.

joke,

On a long weekend,

He didn't come to the library to see Su Xue, but to finish Professor Mu's final assignment as quickly and effectively as possible.

after all,

Lolis are nowhere near as knowledgeable or interesting!

Especially since she's a useless, emotionless loli.

-

The cursor on the screen is still blinking.

Bai Yuze typed the last few sets of data into the document, saved it, and closed it.

The final assignment is now completely finished.

The rest is the presentation slides.

That's not urgent, I'll take my time when I get home tonight.

He stretched.

His gaze casually drifted to the opposite side.

Su Xue is still there.

In the corner by the window, there was a long, white table against the wall, and a book so thick it could kill someone with a single blow: "Advanced Abyss Energy Studies".

The sunlight moved from her shoulder to her hand, casting a small patch of light on the back of her fair hand, but she never looked up.

She lowered her head.

His gaze fell on the pages of the book, occasionally he would make a mark on the notebook with his pen, and sometimes he would stop and stare blankly at a certain spot.

That kind of focus wasn't faked; it was genuine focus that shut out everything around him.

Bai Yuze watched for a while.

to be frank,

before this,

He had never paid any attention to this class monitor.

She was in charge of class affairs, but never said a word. She handled everything—taking attendance, collecting homework, sending out notices—perfectly.

But that's about it.

In class,

She never initiates conversations with others, doesn't participate in gossip during breaks, and doesn't attend any gatherings or parties.

Occasionally someone will strike up a conversation with her, and she will respond, but that's about it.

She was unaware of everything around her.

There seems to be an almost instinctive repulsion.

It's somewhat like a misanthropic attitude.

But it also seems like they simply don't want to establish much connection with the world.

She placed herself in a corner, neither disturbing anyone nor being disturbed by anyone.

And then that was it.

A genuine, emotionless, and clueless loli.

Utterly boring.

This was Bai Yuze's impression of him.

It wasn't until the other person handed him the application form for a student from a poor family and offered to help Long Jingyi complete her classwork that he slowly began to pay attention to this girl with no background, no connections, and no social skills.

Sharp-tongued but kind-hearted

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside.

Especially after he learned that the other party was the magical girl Hydrangea, he made a special trip to investigate Hydrangea's past experiences.

He discovered that the enemy always charged to the front in every battle, never caring about who got credit, and had saved countless citizens, yet he never accepted any interviews or commendations.

They are powerful, but never ostentatious.

Helpful

But they never publicize it.

obviously,

Her aloof appearance is merely a protective shield.

Unconsciously,

Bai Yuze began to feel a little curious about the girl.

of course,

It was only a tiny bit.

He silently prepared himself, thinking that she wasn't the only magical girl in Holly City.

The only reason I'm paying attention to her now is because she's the only one I know right now.

After all, being close to the water makes it easier to get close to someone, and flowers and trees facing the sun bloom easily in spring. He should take the opportunity to get to know them, and when he meets a gentle, mature, magical girl in the future, he will definitely go for it without hesitation.

There are so many magical girls in Holly City, you'll meet someone better sooner or later.

How could I possibly like a emotionless, emotionless loli?

It is absolutely impossible.

He looked away.

He continued to stare at the computer screen, his expression so serious it was as if he were studying some important topic.

Three seconds later.

He looked up at the other person again.

He still couldn't quite accept it—why would this short person be a magical girl hydrangea?!

This doesn't conform to physics and biology.

Third floor of the library

Just as Bai Yuzhe was earnestly exploring the biology and physics of this world, a soft footstep sound came from the direction of the elevator.

Several figures turned past the bookshelf,

They're walking this way.

Walking in front was a striking red figure—Chen Xihan.

She wasn't wearing her signature red dress today; instead, she wore a burgundy knitted cardigan with black trousers, but her flamboyant aura remained undiminished.

She was holding several books in her hand, and as she walked, she kept turning back to talk to the people behind her.

Murong Yu followed behind her, still looking quiet. Her light blue cardigan made her look exceptionally gentle, and her gaze was fixed on her phone, seemingly looking at something.

There was another girl I didn't recognize, with a ponytail; she was probably their friend.

The group walked and talked in hushed tones, but their voices could still be faintly heard in the quiet library.

"...That's why I said that teacher doesn't understand at all..."

"Sister Xihan, please keep your voice down..."

"Okay, okay."

As they passed Bai Yuzhe's seat, Chen Xihan glanced over, then immediately looked away and continued walking.

immediately,

They stopped next to Su Xue's table.

To be precise,

Chen Xihan stopped.

"Xiaoxue-chan?"

She bent down slightly, moving closer to Su Xue. "You're still here? Haven't you gone to eat yet?"

Su Xue's fingers paused.

She looked up, her gaze falling on Chen Xihan's face, pausing for a second.

Then he nodded slightly:

"Um."

Then she lowered her head, closed the book, and opened the laptop next to her.

It seemed that Chen Xihan's arrival had dampened their spirits.

however,

Chen Xihan, who was standing next to her, seemed used to her reaction and wasn't annoyed. She simply sat down in the empty seat next to her.

"I'll sit here then. Can I borrow your desk? It's too noisy over there, I can't finish my homework."

Su Xue continued clicking the mouse without saying a word, as if Chen Xihan's words were as gentle as a breeze blowing outside the window.

"No refusal means yes, right, Yuki-chan!"

Chen Xihan chuckled and sat down next to her, opening her laptop as well. The other girls followed suit, except for Murong Yu, who stood still, her gaze lingering on Su Xue for a moment—

Then she tilted her head slightly.

He glanced at Bai Yuze.

In an instant,

The eyes of the two met.

But soon,

Murong Yu withdrew her gaze, sat down next to the unfamiliar girl, took out a book from her bag, opened it, lowered her head, and never looked in her direction again.

the other side,

Bai Yuze also withdrew his gaze.

What's going on?

Why does Murong Yu always look at him strangely? But he doesn't seem to have any interaction with them.

Other than that,

What surprised him even more was that

He was surprised that the taciturn Su Xue actually had friends; he had always thought this emotionless loli was a loner.

Ding--

at this time,

A message popped up in the lower right corner of his computer. He clicked on it and saw that it was a file transfer request from Su Xue.

"Data Analysis of the Abyss Monster and Draft PPT.pptx"

Bai Yuze paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the opposite side.

But at this moment,

He happened to meet Chen Xihan's gaze.

"Tsk."

Chen Xihan's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to reach Bai Yuze's ears: "How come I see this guy everywhere?"

Bai Yuzhe: "..."

That's what I meant.

He was the one who arrived at the library first, okay?

For this,

Murong Yu, who was standing to the side, looked up and chuckled, "Sister Xihan, why are you always focusing on others? They're just studying here."

Chen Xihan choked for a moment, then turned and glared at Murong Yu:

"Whose side are you on?!"

"It's over here."

Murong Yu didn't even look up, but her gaze was fixed on Su Xue's screen as she spoke with a serious expression.

Chen Xihan: "..."

Bai Yuze clicked "accept" and replied, "Thank you for your help."

But obviously,

The other person wasn't the type to chat casually; after sending the PPT, there was no follow-up.

mission completed.

Bai Yuzhe didn't intend to stay there any longer. He packed his things and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the girl over there one last time.

Chen Xihan was holding a book and talking about something, Murong Yu nodded occasionally, and Su Xue kept her eyes down...

They're all pretty good.

then,

Bai Yuzhe withdrew his gaze, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and left.

It looks good,

But it's impossible for him to go after them; his request is very simple.

Just two requirements

One could be a magical girl, and the other could be a gentle and beautiful mature woman or a young lady.

But this group of people in front of them,

They are either loli magical girls or girls with a mature figure but who are normal human beings.

Tsk,

There isn't a single one who can fight!

-

After Bai Yuze left

Murong Yu withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Chen Xihan, and her expression became unusually serious.

"Sister Xihan, it seems you chased Bai away."

"No way!"

Chen Xihan subconsciously retorted, "Maybe he just... just finished what he had to do."

He was halfway through his sentence when

Her voice betrayed a hint of guilt; she truly harbored no ill will towards Bai Yuze.

I've been seeing this guy in all sorts of places these past few days, which was a bit unexpected, so I just casually said something about it.

But now, after Murong Yu brought it up, she couldn't help but think about the environment where the other person lived. She also recalled what she had just said, and it did seem a bit...

That's going too far.

hiss--

Chen Xihan scratched her hair in frustration.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! When I pass by his house, I'll just set up a magical protective shield, okay? I didn't do it on purpose!"

finished,

She abruptly changed the subject, her gaze falling on Su Xue, who was typing on the keyboard.

"Xiaoxue-chan! How's the registration going for the university anniversary celebration?"

Su Xue raised her head and slowly said:

"Only Shiracha Chika signed up."

"Class monitor?" Chen Xihan's interest was piqued. "What program?"

"A duet".

"Hey, the class monitor's dancing a duet? Who's the other one?"

"He didn't say."

Chen Xihan blinked, then suddenly leaned closer to Su Xue: "If only one class monitor signs up, there definitely won't be enough people. Do you think we should sign up too?"

Su Xue didn't say anything.

Chen Xihan continued:

"Do you think it would be okay if I transformed into a magical girl and went on stage to sing and dance?"

Su Xue looked at her, paused for a second, and then slowly said, "No problem. As long as the captain doesn't cut you in half afterwards."

"Eh..."

Chen Xihan's face fell.

"Seriously!"

She plopped back down in her chair and began to complain.

"Other people's Judgment Team members are all magical girl idols, acting in TV dramas and movies, each one incredibly famous and making a fortune. But our Gladiolus Judgment Team is the only one—we can't do this, we can't do that, we're not even allowed to date!"

She became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, her voice rising by half an octave:

"Why should I?!"

Murong Yu listened quietly from the side, and only spoke slowly after she finished speaking:

"Solving this problem is actually quite simple."

Chen Xihan's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at her:

"Um?"

Murong Yu met her gaze and said in a serious and earnest tone:

"You shall take his place."

Chen Xihan: "..."

Su Xue looked at them without offering any opinion. After a long while, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards a dark corner of the library.

His brows furrowed slightly.

When Bai was here just now, she felt something was off, as if she was being stared at by some unknown thing, and her hair stood on end.

But after searching carefully, she couldn't find anything.
