Chapter 21: The Incompetent Makes His Debut
"Senior, I'm here—huh?"
A middle school girl wearing a black sailor uniform walked in.
The girl had her hair in a ponytail and was carrying a lightweight handbag that didn't look like it contained textbooks. As soon as she stepped into the living room, she saw Lin Yuyan and Su Chenjin sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
"Are there guests at the secret base?" The girl blinked, looking curious.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Yuyan put down her spoon, stood up, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
"Hehe, Chen Jin, come here, let me introduce you." Lin Yu's tone was filled with pride, "This is my magical girl junior, Liu Xiali."
Then, she turned to Liu Xiali and spread her palm out to the blue-haired girl next to her: "Xiali, this is the newcomer who will be living in our secret base from now on, Su Chenjin."
Su Chenjin maintained a dignified and composed posture, folding her hands in front of her and bowing slightly.
"Miss Xia Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Her cool yet adorable voice, paired with her long blue princess-cut hair, instantly stunned Liu Xiali.
"Huh...?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Liu Xiali's eyes lit up instantly. She threw her bag on the ground and rushed over in a few quick steps.
"A newcomer?!"
Liu Xiali quickly turned to Lin Yuyan and asked, "Could it be that she's a new magical girl assigned to us by the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategy? Or is she from another country?"
Before Lin Yuyan could speak, Su Chenjin shook her head and explained, "No, I'm not a magical girl. I'm just a maid who takes care of Miss Lin's daily life."
"……what?"
The excitement in Liu Xiali's eyes was extinguished.
"A maid?"
Liu Xiali's tone was filled with disbelief. She first looked from the left, then went around to the right to examine it.
To be honest, Su Chenjin felt a little uneasy under their gaze.
Although he knew the other party meant no harm, the strange gaze still sent a chill down Cheng Qi's spine as he inhabited the body of a young girl.
Do all these magical girls have some kind of peculiar fetish? Lin Yuyan is like that, and now this junior is the same.
Just as Su Chenjin was considering whether to take a step back, Liu Xiali stopped in her tracks.
She took a deep breath, turned around and stood in front of Lin Yuyan, grabbing her wrist immediately.
"……senior."
Liu Xiali's tone was low and her expression was serious.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuyan was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
"I think I should call the police and have you arrested right now," Liu Xiali said righteously.
"What does it mean...???"
A row of huge question marks appeared above Lin Yuyan's head. "Arrest me? What did I do? Why am I being arrested?"
"Senior, don't you have any self-awareness?" Liu Xiali pointed at Su Chenjin standing to the side, her voice filled with indignation. "Look at her closely!"
"I can see it clearly, Chen Jin is very cute." Lin Yuyan said confidently. Since she's just like the protagonist in her book, it's only natural that she's cute.
"This isn't about whether she's cute or not! Making such a petite and adorable girl your maid? Do you have some kind of special fetish? Tell me, what methods did you use to coerce or seduce her?!"
"...Holy crap, what kind of nonsense is this?!" Lin Yuyan tried to explain urgently.
However, before Lin Yuyan could even speak, Su Chenjin spoke up to explain—
"Um... excuse me. I'm already 20 years old."
"..."
Liu Xiali froze. She slowly released Lin Yuyan's wrist and looked at Su Chenjin again.
"Twenty...twenty years old?! Really?! She's so short..."
"...It's just that my physical development is a little stunted, please don't bring up my height again!" Su Chenjin lowered her eyelids, hoping to stop the topic immediately.
Hearing the person involved clarify, Liu Xiali seemed a little embarrassed, but she still leaned closer to Su Chenjin, lowering her voice slightly:
"Um...maid, tell me the truth. Senpai...she really didn't force you, did she? If she has any improper thoughts about you, or threatens you with violence, just tell me! I'm a righteous magical girl, I'll definitely protect you!"
Su Chenjin shook her head. "You're overthinking it, Miss Xia Li. Miss Lin didn't force me. I've been working as a handyman at the 'Where the Stars Are' base. It was Miss Lin who risked her life to rescue me. To repay her for saving my life, and also because I had nowhere else to go, I voluntarily stayed by her side as her personal maid."
In fact, this is indeed the experience that "Su Chenjin" went through.
Sure enough, upon hearing this reason, Liu Xiali's wariness immediately dissipated, and she was even somewhat moved: "So that's how it is... She volunteered to become a maid to repay a debt of gratitude..."
However, Lin Yuyan, standing to the side, still glared at Liu Xiali with dissatisfaction. "That's how it is! I clearly did a great thing. But what do you take me for?!"
"Hehe, isn't it because you usually seem a bit too useless, senior..." Liu Xiali scratched her head guiltily, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"...Is there anyone who would describe their senior as a good-for-nothing?! And why do you only care about cute girls and not care at all about your senior, me?!"
Liu Xiali was a little surprised. "Uh... what is there for you to care about, senior? Apart from occasionally going out to fight crippled beasts, haven't you just been staying in your room playing games and sleeping all day these past few days?"
Hearing his junior's evaluation, Lin Yuyan couldn't hold back anymore.
"I've been held captive by those 'Where the Stars Are' guys for three days! And you didn't even notice?!"
"Eh...?!?!"
Now it was Liu Xiali's turn to be shocked.
"I had no idea! There haven't been any beast attacks these past few days, and I have to go to school. I only came to the secret base today because it's Saturday. Anyway, even if you didn't show up... you'd probably just be playing games at home, what's so strange about that?"
Listening to their conversation, Su Chenjin sighed silently.
As expected of you, Grand Eunuch.
Because her image of casually playing games is so deeply ingrained in people's minds, even if her magical girl companions haven't seen her for two or three days, their first reaction is just, "This guy is probably at home grinding games again," and they wouldn't even know if she had disappeared and been captured by the enemy's headquarters...
As a magical girl, her presence and interpersonal relationships... is it pathetic, or is it too much in line with her personality?
"Show some respect to your seniors!!! Damn it, one day I'll show you the true power and strength of a Flower-level Magical Girl!"
"Yes, yes, yes... Senior, you've said that several times already. I'm waiting for that day."
