Chapter 46 The Invitation from the Kingdom
Chapter 46 The Invitation from the Kingdom
For the rest of the time, Su Chenjin accompanied Xie Lan for a little longer stroll.
As the sun gradually set, the two said goodbye and each embarked on their journey home.
Su Chenjin naturally returned to the home of the Grand Eunuch Lin Yuyan.
"Chen Jin, you're back!"
Lin Yuyan opened the door for Su Chenjin wearing an oversized T-shirt. She hadn't been wearing this when she left for the Bureau of Strategic Planning that morning…
It seems like she's been back for a while.
I wonder if she's been writing or playing games lately...
"Miss Lin, I'm back."
"Uh-huh."
After Lin Yuyan and Su Chenjin entered the living room together, Lin Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "How did it go with Xie Lan and Xia Li this afternoon?"
"Hmm...they're all very interesting kids."
As Su Chenjin placed the few daily necessities she had bought on the coffee table, she briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon with the magical girl.
Of course, this also includes her helping Xie Lan attend the parent-teacher conference.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuyan was slightly taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"She actually made you act as a parent? Hahahaha!"
"What, don't I look like a parent?" Su Chenjin drooped her eyelids and looked at Lin Yuyan with a displeased expression.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant! Chen Jin, you're just too kind-hearted. You agree to do things that are so unlucky. If it were me, I wouldn't bother going to school and getting scolded by the teacher."
Nonsense, Xie Lan has already made things clear. They were truly desperate, which is why they turned to me, a seemingly easy-going junior!
"After all, Miss Xie Lan is a magical girl who is protecting the city. I feel sorry for her. If I don't help her, she will definitely be scolded badly when she gets home. Anyway, it's not too much trouble for me to get a certificate from the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategy."
"That's true, then you'll have to work hard." Lin Yuyan sat down on the sofa and did not object.
After resolving the topic of the parent-teacher meeting, Su Chenjin glanced at the somewhat messy living room and suddenly remembered something else: "Miss Lin... did your application for the new secret base at the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategy this afternoon go smoothly?"
"Hmm? Of course it's settled!"
Lin Yuyan crossed her arms, looking confident. "I'm a Flower-level Magical Girl, how could the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategies refuse such a small request? I explained the situation to them today, and they immediately presented me with several alternatives to choose from!"
"So...when can I move in?"
Su Chenjin was truly astonished by the efficiency of the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategies.
I originally thought... I'd be staying at the chief eunuch's house a little longer...
"Well, actually we'll have to wait a bit. The place I've got my eye on... is still under construction, so we can't move in right away. Including the renovation time, it'll probably take another month."
...Alright then. Anyway, I'm currently living and eating with the head eunuch, which will also serve the purpose of supervising her writing.
"Oh...right, right, there's one more thing!"
Lin Yuyan seemed to suddenly remember something, stood up from the sofa, and quickly ran to her room. Soon, she returned with an exquisite envelope embossed with dark gold patterns.
"When I went to the Bureau of Strategic Planning today, I not only applied for a new base, but the officials also gave me this!"
Su Chenjin looked at the envelope; the pattern on the wax seal seemed familiar to her.
Wait a minute, isn't this the logo of the Magic Kingdom's Magic Academy?
Did the magical kingdom send a letter to the Grand Eunuch?
"What is this?" Su Chenjin pretended not to recognize the sign on it, and then showed a curious expression.
"Hehe, see for yourself!"
Lin Yuyan carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter, and handed it to Su Chenjin.
To the esteemed magical girl Arc Moon:
In the past, during the wars between worlds, it was thanks to the virtuous and righteous people who stepped forward and bravely sacrificed themselves that the peace of our magical kingdom was preserved.
Especially during the Battle of the Garden, when smoke billowed and powerful enemies surrounded the enemy, the front line was on the verge of collapse. Your Excellency remained calm and fearless in the face of danger, single-handedly turning the tide and saving the nation from ruin. Such a remarkable achievement is remembered and passed down throughout the country.
Now that the land is at peace and everything is being rebuilt, the nation wishes to honor the heroic deeds of its heroes and has specially established a grand award ceremony. Having long admired your noble character, I hereby extend this letter, sincerely inviting you to grace the Magic Capital with your presence in half a month to participate in the award ceremony and to be recognized for this extraordinary honor.
We hope that you will spare no effort to participate in this grand undertaking.
[Respectfully addressed by the Magic Kingdom Magic Academy]
"Hehehe... Chen Jin, did you see that? This is an official invitation to receive a medal from the Magic Kingdom! It's specifically to recognize my outstanding contributions in the War Between Two Realms!"
Lin Yuyan became more and more excited as she spoke, "And this time at the award ceremony... I know for sure, they might very well award me a 'flower plaque'!"
Of course, that was the Battle of the Garden. Every magical girl who survived that battle was a true hero. If, as the letter says, the Grand Eunuch was really that active in that battle... winning a Hanafuda card is indeed quite possible.
However, Cheng Qi discovered a huge problem—
The magical kingdom is holding an award ceremony and has even invited magical girls from various material worlds... Wouldn't that weaken the defensive forces of the material world?
...I knew it, those guys are just that irresponsible.
Take Round Garden City for example. If Lin Yuyan leaves, including myself... there will only be three novice magical girls left in the city. It's really worrying.
However, according to Xia Li and the others, the head eunuch usually doesn't take action... and it might even be the same whether she's there or not.
"Miss Lin, what will happen to the guards of Yuanting City after you go to the kingdom?"
Cheng Qi couldn't help but ask the question.
"Oh? Don't worry about that. The kingdom will send other magical girls to temporarily guard the city's safety, so it's okay even if we leave."
...Alright, this time it seems the kingdom at least has some humanity left.
However, a particular word Lin Yuyan used just now caught her attention.
"Ms. Lin, you just said, 'It's okay if we leave'..."
Su Chenjin pointed to herself with some confusion, "Does that mean... I have to go too?"
"Of course!"
Lin Yuyan nodded naturally. "Chen Jin, you must have never been to the capital of the Magic Kingdom before! I'll take this opportunity to bring Xie Lan and Liu Xiali along, so everyone can broaden their horizons!"
“…………”
No... wait a minute!
I am the ruler of "Where the Stars Are"!
Are you now... going to take me, the leader of the rebels, directly to the magical kingdom?
