Chapter 05: The Dragon-Slaying Strategy Meeting at the Lanzhou Noodle Restaurant

Wang Qiu looked around at the bustling environment filled with voices, and couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content

I am just an ordinary person, no different from others, and in the future, I will likely become an inconspicuous member of society—attending school normally, taking exams normally, living a normal life... getting admitted to an ordinary university, and then my next goal will be to marry a reasonably decent ordinary wife, have one or two ordinary children, and then take out a loan to buy a house and a car, among other things

It was only after the pistol had caused a commotion that Ma Tong revealed a smile, casually grabbing the Desert Eagle and pulling the trigger towards the floor

As usual, the bustling noodle shop is always filled with a constant flow of people, resonating with various noisy sounds, the palace drama playing on the television, the noodle master from Xinjiang wearing a small white hat, ... along with the rich aroma of spices ... . ... Observing this familiar daily scene and recalling the strange experiences she had after getting up this morning, Wang Qiu felt as if it were all just a dream.

Wang Qiu silently complained in her heart while boredly surveying the surroundings.

He once persistently kept the central drawer of his writing desk empty for five consecutive years, waiting for the day when a round, chubby robotic cat would emerge from within

Meow! You're all tsundere! Your whole family is tsundere!

... ... Let me go! You impudent fellow! Is this how you greet your superior?

He only looked at a book titled "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Famous Firearms" yesterday, so he absolutely cannot be mistaken

... ... Ha, it's nothing, nothing at all. Even if someone hears us, they would only think we are discussing how to form a team to play online games ... ...

Ma Tong chuckled nonchalantly, first ordering a bowl of beef noodles, then pulling out an object gleaming with a metallic luster from his pocket, slamming it onto the table with a "bang". "... Look, I even brought the equipment for slaying dragons!"

At that moment, Wang Qiu felt a loud bang in her head, nearly spitting blood and collapsing to the ground

Ma Tong immediately slammed the table and exclaimed, "... Furthermore, I can clearly tell you that my fondness for beautiful girls is simply a personal hobby and has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation!"

During the upper grades of elementary school, he had already become acutely aware of a harsh truth

However, regardless of how the future may unfold, Wang Qiu is determined to clarify today's matters

He once followed many peers, exploring the city where he lived, lingering in abandoned factories, air raid shelters, and deep mountain reservoirs, which were considered "secret realms" in the eyes of children. He often got into trouble with adults for bringing home various strange items, resulting in him receiving a good spanking.

One could only see this older sister dressed in a red tracksuit, laughing with a "hee hee hee" while wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, as she continued to pounce forward with sparkling eyes, launching an attack of hugs and face rubs on Cai Rong. She completely disregarded the diners nearby, who had already dropped their glasses in shock, with some hastily taking out their phones to capture the moment—such real-life yuri scenes featuring a perverted, infatuated girl and a tsundere loli are indeed rare to come by

Toilet Senior Sister

The fragrant and rich soup, the slightly yellow and smooth noodles, the vibrant green cilantro and scallions, the tender and delicious slices of beef, along with the bright red chili oil... The harmonious combination of colors is enough to whet anyone's appetite. For a poor college student like Wang Qiu, who doesn't have much money, a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles at 6 yuan should be considered a quite affordable and inexpensive delicacy

Cai Rong took the last sip of the noodle soup, contentedly burped, and then glanced sideways at Wang Qiu, saying, "... ... The most important thing right now is how to quickly resolve this dragon. As for its origins, we can discuss that when we have time!"

After some consideration, Wang Qiu ultimately decided to inquire about the other party's recent circumstances

Then, a young woman dressed in a red tracksuit, with her hair tied in a single ponytail using a red headband, rushed in from outside the ramen shop, swiftly embraced Cai Rong, who had not yet had time to react, and began to nuzzle her fiercely in her arms

How can such an extremely forbidden and dangerous item be casually taken out in front of so many people in a Lanzhou noodle restaurant

Hey, even if we are very familiar with each other, you cannot speak like that! I warn you! Be careful, or I will accuse you of defamation!

In the forest of reinforced concrete, there are no Druids; in the rusted, unfinished buildings, there are no vampires; in the artificial lake of the park, mermaids cannot be found; on the towering television tower, there are neither Superman nor great wizards; and in the dim air-raid shelters, one cannot find necromancers or skeleton soldiers. Moreover, in the narrow and filthy roadside greenbelt, it is even less likely for a unicorn shining with holy light to emerge

Although I, as a poor college student, do not have much money, I can still afford a few bowls of ramen. But am I not concerned about your health

... ...

Sitting across the dining table, Wang Qiu was also stunned for a long time before finally recognizing this perverted guy who was openly infatuated.

Wang Qiu scratched his head and sighed, and finally, with some hesitation, introduced himself to Cai Rong, while also taking a few careful glances at Senior Ma Tong.

Although according to the first rule of the Hero's Code summarized from various RPG games and fantasy films, as a curious hero, the stranger the object, the more it should be taken home... However... this martial arts wave-type loli who came knocking on my door seems to have quite the appetite, doesn't she

Meow, not bad, not bad, assessment complete, a purebred tsundere loli! Tsundere is the cutest!

Wang Qiuwen turned his head upon hearing the words and immediately saw a bright red figure, accompanied by a rather noisy voice.

As an ordinary student, it is impossible for me to suddenly become an Ultraman, a superhero, or a legendary hero.

However, as age increases and experiences accumulate, the various beautiful fantasies of childhood gradually fade away in Wang Qiu's heart

This is clearly a Desert Eagle pistol

This kind of matter does not seem suitable for discussion in public, does it? How about we go to my house first and talk about it?

Alas, he is still the hero who received recognition from the city for beating the dog! How can he navigate this cruel society in the future if he can't even defeat a mere red dragon?" Cai Rong rolled her beady eyes and said with a helpless expression, spreading her hands.

Fortunately, this time it is a little girl I am inviting to dinner, so I can handle it casually. If the other party were a mature woman, I would at least need to serve red wine and steak.

... ... How can you be so stingy as to not even treat others to such a small amount? Are you the most miserly person in the world?

In the somewhat dazed gaze of Wang Qiu, Ma Tong proudly waved the pistol, exclaiming in a cheerful tone.

Being reprimanded by a loli who seems to be in a leadership position ... Well, this loli does appear to be the leader, but it still left Wang Qiu feeling quite hurt inside

It is evident that after the recent incident, Wang Qiu was already lacking the energy and strength to cook, and there was hardly any decent food stocked at home. Therefore, he dragged Cai Rong out the door and arrived at a Lanzhou noodle restaurant located less than 200 meters in a straight line from his house

Ah, this is truly overflowing with cuteness, it's unfairly adorable! Let me take a good moment to enjoy your charm...

Hey, are you kidding me! You have already eaten five large bowls! Don't upset your stomach!

One similar example is that on construction sites in China, one of the most troublesome issues is the discovery of archaeological sites. Once such a situation arises, the construction team is required by regulations to immediately halt work and notify the cultural relics department, and often there is little to no economic compensation afterward. The losses incurred due to project delays, however, must be borne by the contractor themselves. Therefore, when builders hear that some artifacts have been unearthed on the site, their first reaction is to destroy them and move on.

Therefore, when builders hear that some artifacts have been unearthed on the site, their first reaction is to destroy them and move on

Do not... ah

"Hey, hey, I said, you should explain the origin of this dragon to me now! Where did such an unscientific thing come from?" He tapped on the table a few times to remind the still ravenously eating electromagnetic loli, and then received an eye roll in response.

Marshal He Long waged revolution with two kitchen knives, while I am now going to slay dragons with two water guns

Boss! One more bowl of beef hand-pulled noodles, in a large bowl! Add more cilantro! Also, include extra meat and an egg!

Cai Rong, who had been subjected to an assault, immediately screamed and reached out to press her hand against the other person's face, attempting to reject the further violation by this perverse older sister. However, she was unsuccessful—because she had already reached an overwhelming level of excitement, becoming oblivious to those around her.

... ... Move away from me quickly! You perverse woman! There are still many people watching!

Upon taking a closer look and discerning what this object was among the division and the books, Wang Qiu was momentarily left speechless, her eyes wide open in astonishment

After the thrilling battle just now, both Wang Qiu, who overslept today and missed breakfast, and Cai Rong, who walked a considerable distance under the scorching sun, are now feeling extremely hungry

Then, she changed the subject, "... ... Alright, now tell me about it. How big is that little dragon, and what abilities does it possess?"

How rude! I am clearly a noble and virtuous teacher now!

Alas, it is quite embarrassing to say that this eccentric older sister, Ma Tong, is two years my senior and a graduate of our university's International Trade Department. She also resides in Radish Village, with our houses being no more than 300 meters apart in a straight line, so we have had some acquaintance since childhood. Although we were not in the same department at university, we did collaborate on anime cosplay events. However, she graduated last year.

Wang Qiu murmured softly, "... ... The most urgent matter now is how to deal with that dragon! This should be your responsibility, right!"

Ma Tong pouted slightly in displeasure, while taking out an identification card and waving it in front of Wang Qiu as if to show off.

Well, don't take it too seriously! Those who pay too much attention to details are all bent!

In her childhood, Wang Qiu was a child who loved to fantasize.

I have never heard that the successful person has slain a dragon

Although it has been a while since we last met, it seems that you, Senior, are still as full of energy as ever!

At this moment, Wang Qiu and Cai Rong are sitting face to face in a Lanzhou noodle restaurant that Wang Qiu frequently visits, slurping up noodles.

Ah, what a cute little sister! This is truly super good news! Come here, let your sister hug you, touch you, and kiss you!

From now on, he will no longer deliberately leave the writing desk drawer empty, nor will he hang stockings at the foot of the bed on Christmas Eve, until a certain wonderful day arrives

Alright, my new superior, since time is of the essence, let us begin discussing the important matters now

He once placed stockings by his bedside on Christmas Eve, hoping to receive gifts from Santa Claus the next day, but unfortunately, each time ended in disappointment

... um, my sister? I don't have a sister! How about I take you home and raise you instead! That way, my family will have a tsundere soft girl!

Wow! This is really good news! This time, the boss is actually a cute girl, and she looks even cuter in person than in the photos!

Oh! So it's you, always the junior!

Can you make it even more ridiculous for me ?

According to Wang Qiu's experience, when encountering supernatural events like this, it is best not to seek assistance from relevant authorities unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, one must be prepared to face significant losses.

... ... clang clang, this is my and - the - book's most prized collection, the Desert Eagle pistol-style high-pressure water gun! It looks impressive at first glance!

"... ... Senior Sister Ma Tong, are you still selling toilets at the ceramic market in the west of the city with your father recently, while also bothering various cute girls?"

Cai Rong first sighed with a look of disappointment, then proudly shook her pink mobile phone, and turned to glance outside the door, "... According to the information recorded in the contact list, our organization has an additional staff member here, so I just tried to make a call based on the contact list, and I finally managed to get in touch... Uh, she has already arrived..."

Is it to say that every cute girl who descends from the heavens is a foodie, whether it be the nun hanging on the balcony or the green-haired girl rolling in through the door

The mature woman, upon hearing this word, seemed to trigger some event; she immediately stopped her actions, first glancing up at Wang Qiu, then quickly adopting an incredibly arrogant expression. She rolled her eyes like a dead fish and sat down next to Cai Rong, lazily picking her nose as she replied.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu almost gasped for breath, "... ... You are not allowed to mention that nickname again! If it weren't for the extra credits, who would be willing to be a target for you women to practice self-defense against wolves?!"

Several diners who were eating couldn't help but shrink their necks at the sight, but soon they were astonished to discover that what was being shot from the muzzle of the Desert Eagle was not a bullet, but a thin column of water

... ...

On the other hand, when someone suddenly drew a gun, the small ramen shop fell silent in an instant. Even the noodle-making master, Uncle Bai, seemed to sense that something was amiss, grabbing a rolling pin and peering over from beside the stove

Wang Qiu could not help but exclaim, and then she couldn't resist murmuring softly, "... it seems that the girl over there is about to face a crisis of chastity ..."

Uh? Could this be the legendary skill known as "Holding the Sister in the Arms Kill"?

Sigh, I knew that you, as a man, would be of no use, so while you were just in the restroom, I already called for reinforcements

Therefore, Wang Qiu, who is currently a junior, suddenly feels a complex and melancholic mood at this moment

"... ... When did the standards drop at our university-affiliated high school? They are even accepting graduates from non-normal universities now?"

Moreover, how should I report this matter? Should I say that a dragon has come to my house? Be careful not to be sent to a mental hospital

What is the reason behind such a huge contrast in attitude? Do you only see the rights of lolis in your eyes?

Alright! Please wait a moment

Did I not tell you long ago? It fell out from the time-space portal

The energetic girl dressed in a red tracksuit waved her hand dismissively, then playfully ruffled Cai Rong's hair with a smile.

However, this ever-energetic senior, Ma Tong, despite possessing the tall and slender physique typical of an athlete and being somewhat of a beauty, has a rather terrible personality. She is often careless and clumsy in her work, enjoys reading BL (Boys' Love) comics, and for some unknown reason, despite being a girl herself, she harbors a great interest in beautiful girls and even younger girls. She embodies the three major traits of a fujoshi, otaku, and yuri enthusiast. After graduation, she struggled to find a decent job and ended up selling toilets at the ceramic market across from the school with her parents, further adding the labels of "good-for-nothing" and "loser in life" to her identity, as well as earning the nickname "Toilet Senior".

After finally breaking free from the grasp of that single ponytail lady, Cai Rong quickly shrank into the corner by the wall, simultaneously casting a suspicious glance at the two individuals who seemed quite familiar with each other, her eyes darting back and forth like a cute little squirrel

What is even more terrifying is that he has a vague sense of foreboding, that this ordinary and mundane daily life is about to take flight, drifting further and further away from him.

Hello, do you know that perverted woman who beats dogs

"... ... No! Absolutely not!" Wang Qiu resolutely shook her head, "... ... It's not some tentacled monster or a man-eating alien. This little red dragon is manageable; let's find a way to deal with it ourselves! So you must take responsibility!"

However, watching this petite girl, who was less than half her size, devour five bowls of ramen in just a few minutes, and then asking for a sixth bowl, Wang Qiu finally began to worry about her wallet

It is alright, cute big breasts!

To be precise, it is the responsibility of 'us', comrade from the urban management internship!" Cai Rong sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "... If you are really anxious, you can try calling the police. But what the final outcome will be, only heaven knows.

If you want to know the reason, just take a look at the gluttonous little girl in the green military uniform sitting opposite him who is indulging in a binge-eating spree

a very ordinary daily scene

I certainly understand this principle! Wang Qiu scratched her head somewhat unhappily, "No one wants their home to be turned upside down by a little monster. But it's just the two of us who have to go slay the dragon. Hey, hey, don't look at me with such disdain! Even though this dragon has just hatched and is only the size of a chicken, it is still a fierce beast that can breathe fire. I certainly don't want it to burn all my furniture to ashes!"

The diners gathered in the Lanzhou noodle shop naturally felt at ease upon witnessing the situation, letting out a sigh of relief, and continued to lower their heads to eat their noodles. A plump woman who had just returned from grocery shopping was still muttering softly, "... this girl, really, at her age still playing with a water gun, how shameless..."

In any case, the little dragon is locked behind the walls of the backyard, and the door is locked, so it cannot escape for the time being. Therefore, before coming up with a suitable strategy, both of them decided to fill their stomachs first.
