Bernese Mountain Dogs are very affectionate large dogs.
Their build is quite robust, similar to a Golden Retriever or Alaskan Malamute, or even larger, giving off a strong sense of presence.
However, their gentleness is also very high; some even say they are more gentle and affectionate than Golden Retrievers.
And the canine beast-people of the Bernese Mountain Dog tribe… do they also inherit these traits?
Especially when Wang Xiaowang heard Yue Tianxin say, "Iris and Dandelion are coming over soon!" her wagging tail didn't stop.
"Why does Xiaowang like Iris so much?" Yue Tianxin asked, probing.
"Because… because Iris is very beautiful, and her pure white dress is so elegant, just like… hmm…"
"Like a Queen of Artillery, right!" Yue Tianxin said.
"That's true, it's very similar… but more like an elegant princess."
"Actually, Iris is very elegant in daily life too. She loves to read, her demeanor is very proper, and also…"
Yue Tianxin praised Iris profusely, making the Fox Girl's eyes light up.
But so much time had passed, why hadn't they arrived yet? Yue Tianxin, in her automatic mode, wondered.
Meanwhile.
At the school gate, Su Tianqing followed Hua Ling through the small entrance into the campus, walking towards the dormitories.
"The College of Arts and Sciences is quite big, much bigger than I imagined," Su Tianqing said, pretending it was her first time there.
Hua Ling chuckled softly.
"Yes, and the sports field is still being renovated. When school starts, we might even get to see a football match, it should be very exciting."
The girl sighed.
…Why is the sports field being renovated? It's so hard to guess. Su Tianqing thought.
This was all her fault.
She had forgotten a Monster capsule buried under the sports field, meant to be a surprise for Nan Xiaofeng, but she accidentally triggered it while checking her Monster reserves—
That minor Monster had overturned the entire sports field and basketball court, and although Nan Xiaofeng, who arrived as emergency support, quickly slammed it back into the ground, the sports field still faced a major renovation.
"But then again…"
Hua Ling said, pushing up the glasses on her nose, looking at the distant dormitory building.
The College of Arts and Sciences provided accommodation and also allowed students to stay temporarily during holidays, which she naturally knew.
But… it was still the New Year holiday, so why would the dormitory allow a student to stay for the New Year?
"Tianqing Jie, will the person Miss Yue Tianxin mentioned really be staying in the dorm?"
"Hmm… she told me so, I'm not very clear either," Su Tianqing wagged her tail, feigning ignorance.
Yue Tianxin was in automatic mode right now; letting her handle things on her own was more convenient than micro-managing herself.
Hua Ling didn't think much of it, but still held some curiosity and doubt in her heart as she and Su Tianqing walked through the deserted campus during the holiday, heading towards the dormitory building.
But as soon as they reached the dormitory building, the two looked up, and Su Tianqing saw a familiar figure at the entrance:
Long golden hair, a petite figure. Although she was wearing a winter skirt and scarf, Su Tianqing could easily recognize the person.
Aurora.
"…"
Hearing footsteps behind her, Aurora turned her head, met Su Tianqing's gaze, and a bright sparkle suddenly appeared on her calm face, followed by confusion and doubt.
"Ah, Tianqing Sister—"
Before she finished speaking, Aurora suddenly noticed Hua Ling beside Su Tianqing.
The moment her eyes met the literary girl's, seeing it was Hua Ling, Aurora immediately curbed her desire to step forward and quickly tidied her appearance.
"Aurora, my dear? I can't believe I'd see you here," Su Tianqing said.
"It's good to see you again, Aurora. Are you having fun lately?"
Hua Ling said softly, waving to the foreign friend.
Hua Ling had a strong impression of Aurora; she had stayed at Nan Xiaofeng's home in Huatianli Community for a day, and everyone had a great time at the annual party.
Not to mention, she was an exchange student who had traveled all the way from a foreign country to Rong City, which made her quite noticeable.
And she was also very cute; who wouldn't be captivated by a girl who looked like a doll?
"Ah… um… V-very happy to see you again!"
Seemingly unaccustomed to such an enthusiastic greeting, Aurora stiffened awkwardly, nervously responding to Hua Ling's greeting.
Su Tianqing watched them with interest.
These two hadn't met many times; most of the time, she was the one mediating, so their greeting each other was quite unexpected.
"What are you doing here, Aurora, my dear?" Su Tianqing asked.
But the suitcase beside her was enough to explain her purpose for being there.
"My father said that Rong City has a habit of taking naps, and it's inconvenient for me to go home at noon, so he told me to bring some luggage to the dorm."
Aurora said,
"I plan to make a bed in the dorm so I can take a nap at noon."
"Oh, I see ~ Then let us help you move it!" Su Tianqing volunteered, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to carry the suitcase.
"How can that be? I'll do it myself…"
"Heiya!"
Fox Fox exerted force.
Fox Fox was knocked over by the suitcase.
"So heavy!"
"I'll help too." Seeing her Tianqing Jie struggling with the suitcase, Hua Ling smiled softly and stepped forward to assist.
…
Three people moving luggage was certainly easier than one.
But as Aurora dragged the suitcase and tried to open the door to Room 407, Su Tianqing suddenly felt a pure sense of confusion.
Is this for real?
Could such a coincidence truly exist in the world?
Aurora's nap dormitory was in Room 407, which was exactly Wang Xiaowang's dormitory! Could such a coincidence exist in the world??
"Woof!"
The locked dorm door opened from the inside, and the Bernese Mountain Dog Girl poked her head out, looking curiously at the three people at the door.
From Yue Tianxin's automatic mode perspective, Su Tianqing could already see Wang Xiaowang's tail wagging back and forth like an electric fan.
"…Huh? Three people?"
Soon, the Fox Girl noticed that there weren't just the "Dandelion and Iris" Observer had mentioned, but also an extra girl dragging a suitcase.
"Hello."
Aurora nodded in a friendly greeting,
"My name is Aurora. I'll be napping in this dorm next semester. Please take care of me."
The fluent Chinese greeting froze the Fox Girl in place. She looked back blankly, trying to find Observer Fox Fox, but saw no trace of the little Fox.
The Fox Girl was stunned.
The Fox Girl was nervous.
The Fox Girl became timid.
Su Tianqing and Hua Ling exchanged glances. Hua Ling instantly understood and nodded seriously.
Plan changed, Plan B!
Aurora hadn't reacted yet when she was pushed into the room by the two behind her, staring blankly as Su Tianqing and Hua Ling busied themselves by the bed.
Clang, clatter, creak, groan.
In five minutes, the bed was quickly made, and a fluffy Fox tail pillow was even thoughtfully placed by the pillow.
Aurora listened blankly as Hua Ling said, "I'll take you, Aurora, on a tour of the school first ~" and was then helplessly led away by her.
Only the startled Fox Girl, Wang Xiaowang, and Observer Fox Fox, who poked her head in from the window, remained in the room.
"Whew! You scared me to death!"
Yue Tianxin let out a long breath, saying to the two in front of her.
"Xiaowang! Your turning back just now almost exposed us!"
"You must remember, a Magic Girl's true identity cannot be exposed to anyone outside of her teammates!"
"Woof… But I'm not a Magic Girl yet…" The Fox Girl said timidly, with her tail tucked.
"I'll forgive you for the first time!"
The Fox Spirit flew to the Fox Girl's side, patted her shoulder as if comforting her,
Then pointed to the Golden Fox sitting on a chair not far away.
"And, this one here, she's your Magic Girl companion from now on."
The Fox Girl looked intently at the Fox Girl in front of her.
Su Tianqing smiled and waved to the Fox Girl.
"The one in front of you now is the recently debuted popular Magic Girl!"
"Magic Girl, 【Dandelion】!"
Brief silence.
In the first second, the Fox Girl's eyes gradually lit up.
In the second second, the Fox Girl's tail started its Bernese Mountain engine.
In the third second, the Fox Girl completely turned into a clingy big dog.
This Fox's layered scheme had taken its first step!
