Chapter 102 Returning to Electric Appliance Street

To this day, Lin Yun could still recall the first time he ventured with his team members to the electronics district.That was several months after the young him had become a Magical Girl.

Having chosen to fight in order to protect An Ya, and having become a Magical Girl, he and An Ya formed a duo of Magical Girls, fighting tirelessly throughout Fangting City to protect it.

After some time, a Magical Girl codenamed Margaret from the Foreign Land of Dongying State arrived in Fangting City. She met Lin Yun and An Ya during a clash against the Remnant Beasts. The trio hit it off well and started operating together, expanding their team to three members.

As time went by, a Seeder—a rabbit Fairy named Wo Bo—brought them the fourth and, for that time, the final member of their team: a girl of the same age named Su Shengzi, whose Magical Girl codename was Lan Xiang.

Su Shengzi was a girl suspected to come from a wealthy background—the reason it remained a suspicion was that she never revealed any specific information about her family's circumstances. It was her occasional display of substantial wealth and apparent disregard for the value of money that allowed the other members to sense the vast financial power behind her.

As a suspected heiress, aside from occasionally putting on airs of etiquette, Su Shengzi mostly behaved in an independent manner, without regard for the opinions of others.

Her typical behavior involved throwing herself passionately into something for a mere three minutes of interest, researching it neglectfully until she felt that she had mastered it, and then casually discarding it to repeat the cycle anew.

Several months after joining the team, Su Shengzi suddenly took a fancy to arcade video games.

No one knew how she had come across this pastime, but one day, after school, she suddenly announced to the other team members, "Let's go to the electronics district!"

Her proposal sparked a debate among the members at the time.

Back then, Lin Yun, a studious young man, had no particular fondness for arcades, which were often referred to as pitfalls by the older generation; An Ya, on the other hand, was a playful fiend who was eager to try any form of entertainment she hadn't experienced before; and Margaret, hailing from the arcade game birthplace of Dongying State, was exceedingly familiar with this form of leisure.

The debate eventually turned into a vote, and with a dominant outcome of three to one, Su Shengzi's suggestion was approved, thus initiating the Fangting City team's practice of hanging out in the electronics district after school.

Meanwhile, every time Lin Yun, as the only male in a group of four, left school under the strange stares of countless male classmates and surrounded by three girls, he had to lament in his heart the irretrievable reputation he had lost.

At that time, his reputation among both male and female students was already damaged: boys saw him as a role model, while girls considered him a lowlife. However, in reality, his relationship with the other three was merely platonic, as he usually joined them in his Magical Girl guise.

So, strictly speaking, "Emerald Sparrow" had spent a lot more time in the electronics district than "Lin Yun."

Looking at the electronics district under the gloomy rain, Emerald Sparrow seemed to see the old scenes of her squad from years before. After so many years, her former companions were now scattered in different places, and she herself hadn't visited this area for leisure in a long time.

Within the veil of rain, the electronics district, being a pedestrian shopping street, had become quite desolate. Only a few pedestrians with umbrellas moved slowly under the eaves. The shops, however, remained welcoming with open doors, bright lights inside, and their interiors filled with a medley of human voices and laughter, bursting with liveliness.

Emerald Sparrow and Xia Liang each carrying an umbrella, crossed the road that was now filled with puddles, and eventually arrived at their first stop—the archery range. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As an establishment that had stood defiantly in the electronics district for many years, with changing ownership yet still operating, the Electronics District Archery Range had also become a well-known landmark.

Whether it was in Lin Yun's youth or now, once you traverse the somewhat intricate entrance corridor to the spacious interior, you could always see a handful of college-aged young people practicing there.

But when Emerald Sparrow and Xia Liang stepped inside and approached the counter, this somewhat odd pairing quickly attracted the attention of some onlookers.

After all, an archery range with its hourly fee was typically considered expensive for middle and elementary school students, making the combination of a middle school and an elementary school student stand out in the crowd.

Xia Liang managed it somewhat better, but it was Emerald Sparrow — even though she was dressed very simply today: long sleeve shirt, pants, short boots, and her hair tied up into a neat ponytail — whose blue hair, resembling that of a Foreign Land's resident, still managed to attract curious glances.

However, Emerald Sparrow was quite accustomed to such stares, or rather, she had grown used to the surprised looks she received while conducting her affairs.

Even when the counter staff approached her with a string of rude remarks like, "Little girl, have you lost your way?" "Little girl, are you from a Foreign Land?" "Children might not be able to play this," she remained calm and unfazed.

After arranging the time and paying the deposit, Emerald Sparrow led Xia Liang to two secluded shooting lanes.
