Chapter 59 My hands are out of control!
In the days leading up to their journey to the magical kingdom with Lin Yuyan, Su Chenjin began a peaceful daily routine.
Her daily duties were to take care of the head eunuch's daily life as a maid, occasionally giving him a "massage" to help him fall asleep quickly. In addition to this, Su Chenjin had two other tasks.
During the daytime, as a junior magical girl, she would accompany Liu Xiali or Xie Lan on patrols in Yuanting City to eliminate any low-level beasts that occasionally appeared.
During this time fighting alongside them, Su Chenjin became increasingly proficient in the magical girls' fighting style.
But once night falls, the positions of the two sides are reversed.
"Didn't I tell you about the auxiliary lines here yesterday?! Why did you forget so quickly?!"
At the dining table in Liu Xiali's living room, she was scribbling and drawing in her notebook with a pencil, looking displeased.
"I'm sorry, junior... No, no, no! Teacher Su!"
Having promised to take better care of their studies after pretending to be a parent and attending the parent-teacher conference, Su Chenjin was determined not to go back on her word.
However, tutoring two junior high school students who frequently fail their classes is far too easy to cause trouble.
Although Su Chenjin often loses control, she always tries her best to calm herself down after she loses her temper.
"I'm sorry... I went too far with my words."
Su Chenjin gently placed the pencil on the table. "You guys finish your homework first. I'm going out to rest for a bit, and I'll come back to check it later. Don't secretly play on your phones!"
After saying that, Su Chenjin left home and walked down the street. She wanted to clear her mind and calm her emotions by enjoying the night breeze.
That's right. When dealing with those two students, I must avoid being arrogant and impatient... The most important thing when dealing with students with poor grades is patience...
Just then, her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.
Su Chenjin took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and frowned slightly.
"Hey, Zhang Menglin, what's wrong now?" Su Chenjin's tone was still a little irritated after answering the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Menglin sounded to be in a good mood. "Commander! Good evening! Nothing much, I was just curious about you! How are you feeling these days? Are you enjoying being a magical girl?"
"...Just say what you have to say."
"Hehe, Commander, when would you be free to return to the underground base? I'd like to give you a medical check-up!"
"What do you want to check?"
"Of course, it's your physical data after you awakened as a magical girl! After all, you're an example of someone who awakened as a magical girl through normal means after body modification. This data is extremely important to me!"
"...I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go back to the base. Let's talk about it in a month." Su Chenjin refused without even thinking.
"Huh? Does it take that long?"
Zhang Menglin on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised and disappointed. But she quickly offered a compromise:
"Well... Commander, how about you collect some biological samples from your body and mail them back to the base?"
"...A biological sample?" Su Chenjin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, yes! For example, your hair, nails, saliva, blood, some kind of unspeakable bodily fluid... all of these can be collected—"
"……goodbye."
Upon hearing this, Su Chenjin interrupted her expressionlessly and also intended to hang up the phone.
"No, no, no! Commander, please wait a moment! I won't mention the samples anymore, okay!" Zhang Menglin quickly stopped her.
"Speak quickly, what else is it?"
"Actually... I'm just a little curious, why are you delaying your return to base for another month? Is it because the Crescent Moon faction is keeping a close eye on you?"
To be honest, Su Chenjin didn't want to tell this eccentric scientist her detailed itinerary. However, considering that she had entrusted most of the base's affairs to her and that she hadn't shown her face for a long time, it was only right and proper for her to give her a heads-up.
Just tell her to keep her mouth shut and not to tell Mo Ranying and the others.
"Because I've been quite busy lately. I'm going to the Magic Kingdom with Arc Moon in a few days. So... don't tell anyone else about this! Especially Basil and Ink Sakura, they'll definitely try to ruin my plans if they find out!"
"Huh? You're going to the kingdom?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was both surprised and happy.
"Yes, I'll probably be there for about two weeks. It seems that Arc Moon received an invitation from the Royal Court to attend an award ceremony, so she plans to bring me along."
"That's wonderful!!!" Zhang Menglin practically jumped for joy on the other end of the phone.
"Wait a moment……"
Hearing the barely suppressed excitement on the other end of the phone, Su Chenjin frowned slightly. "Why are you so excited? I'm so deep behind enemy lines, shouldn't you be worried about my safety?"
"What's there to worry about? No one will ever discover that you're actually the Grand Commander of 'Where the Stars Are'!"
"...Are you so sure?"
"Hmph, that's my confidence in my skills! Besides, when traveling to the realm, there are only routine checks at the boundary gate. At most, a few incompetent guards will check if you're carrying any contraband; they won't be able to find out your identity!"
"...I've been to countries before, so there's no need to repeat myself. Ultimately, you still haven't answered my question. Why are you so excited about going to those countries?"
Zhang Menglin was probably a little too excited and carried away, and blurted out what was on her mind:
"Because the detection devices in the magical kingdom are more comprehensive!"
The air fell silent as soon as those words were spoken.
"Dr. Zhang, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Five seconds passed before Su Chenjin finally spoke.
"Hmm? What's the problem?"
"Let me check first. Is your phone fully charged? Is your phone credit paid? Has your phone suddenly started smoking, caught fire, or gotten wet?"
Su Chenjin almost gritted her teeth, preemptively blocking any excuses Zhang Menglin might use.
"Huh? Ah? No, everything is normal..." Zhang Menglin replied, somewhat confused.
"Very well. Now explain to me right now—what the hell does 'the nation's testing equipment is more comprehensive' mean?!"
"Huh?!"
As if belatedly realizing what she had just said, Zhang Menglin on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence once again.
"Feed? Dr. Zhang? Are you listening?"
On the other end of the phone came an extremely exaggerated exclamation—
"Commander! Oh no! My hand... my hand has suddenly lost control! It seems to have its own will and wants to press the hang-up button! Ahhh! I can't hold on any longer! Commander, I'm about to lose control of it! I'm sorry, this call has to end here for today! Until we meet again!"
"Beep—beep—beep—"
Hearing the busy tone from her phone, Su Chenjin finally lost her composure.
Zhang Menglin...you're not even going to act anymore, are you?!
