Chapter 341 Notes
Kikyo, the magician, returned home with her magical girl juniors in Yun Jing Tian Cheng residential area. This was a magical girl's little nest that Violet, the magician, had specially built for the members of Kikyo's Judgment Squad.
After a mission, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team usually act like ducklings released from their coop: some roll around on the sofa, some play games, some watch videos, and some read books...
She threw all sorts of tantrums and acted out.
However, today, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team all hung their heads. They were unwilling to think about it, unwilling to believe it, and even less willing to face it.
Sister Violet is dead. That invincible, all-knowing Sister Violet is dead...
All of this seemed so unreal. In the dimly lit living room, several members of the Kikyo Judgment Squad sat blankly on the sofa, their eyes filled with exhaustion and despair, like corpses that had lost their souls.
Seeing them like this, the magician Kikyo felt a pang of sadness and sighed softly.
After settling the unconscious Bai Youqing into her room, Kikyo did not leave immediately. Instead, she turned around and went to the group of distraught team members.
The next second, she bowed deeply to them: "I'm sorry, as the captain of the Kikyo Judgment Squad, I failed to protect you when you needed me the most. This is my dereliction of duty."
"I bear primary responsibility for the death of the Violet Mage!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering the oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
The guilt in Xia Qing, Li Xuanyu, and the other team members' eyes magnified instantly. They hurriedly surrounded her, vying to say, "No, that's not how it is, Sister Kikyo, you can't say that! This disaster wasn't your fault. If we were stronger, Sister Violet wouldn't have had to worry about our safety while fighting the Abyss Demon General Kurt."
"Yes, facing so many Abyss Demon Generals, your situation must be extremely critical. It's mainly because we're too weak and have held Sister Violet back..."
"6
Tears welled up in the eyes of several team members, and their words were filled with self-blame and regret.
As the floodgates opened, Kikyo listened quietly to their cries and self-reproach, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Only after they had calmed down a little did she gently pat each team member on the shoulder, trying to offer them some comfort.
"I watched the battle in the live stream when I got back. The death of the Violet Mage was not Xiaoqing's responsibility, nor was it the responsibility of your Kikyo Judgment Team, because everyone did their best. You did more than enough."
"The sacrifice of the Violet Mage is a pain for all of us, but we cannot let it become a shackle that binds us from moving forward."
"If the Violet Mage were still alive, she would definitely want to see you all recover from this predicament, instead of wallowing in self-blame."
"More importantly, the culprit behind the death of the Violet Mage should be the Abyss Beast."
"Therefore, I hope you can move on from your grief, live well carrying the expectations of the Violet Mage, improve yourselves, and perhaps even avenge the Violet Mage in the future!"

As night deepened, Kikyo, the magician, spoke for a long time. Her gentle words, like a spring breeze, gradually calmed the pain and self-blame in the hearts of the Kikyo Judgment Squad members.
Time passed quietly. Kikyo, the magician, stayed by her team members' side until she saw them all fall asleep. Only then did she cover them with blankets and slowly get up.
At this moment, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and a heavy sorrow appeared in her eyes.
Recalling the location of the Violet Mage's room, she silently opened the door. The room was decorated in an exceptionally simple and tidy manner, with a faint fragrance of violets emanating from it.
Her figure slowly entered, her golden eyes silently surveying the violet room.
A pale purple mattress, a desk, a wardrobe, and a floor-to-ceiling window—
Until her gaze settled on a brown notebook, which sat unremarkable on the corner of the table.
As the notebook opened, Kikyo paused for a moment, then, seeing the familiar handwriting, she suddenly realized what it meant.
This is Teacher Xiaobai's diary.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously wanted to close it, but her hand stopped abruptly halfway through its flight.
Is it wrong to spy on other people's privacy like this?
But----
Teacher Xiaobai is no longer here.
That won't do!
What if Teacher Xiaobai has some unfulfilled wish?
Various complex thoughts flashed through Kikyo's mind. After struggling for several minutes, she finally opened Shiro-sensei's diary.
The diary doesn't contain many entries, because the other person didn't record information every day. It's more like they jot things down whenever they remembered, which is quite in line with Teacher Xiaobai's salty personality.
Thinking of this, Kikyo the Magician smiled. Most of the records at the beginning were trivial matters, and she wrote them very infrequently, sometimes not even once every month or two. But as she turned the pages, the records at the end were different, and the frequency of writing them increased significantly.

"My headache has flared up again; I need to go to the hospital for a check-up today."
"The new female teacher is so pretty today, but it's none of my business. Nobody can stop me from slacking off!"
"Wow, that's impressive! This female teacher isn't just a math teacher, she's also a psychology teacher! She probably can't read minds, right? It wouldn't be good if she knew I was the biggest troublemaker at Yeqiu No. 1 High School!"
"Ugh, another extra class today! I'm so tired and annoyed. I checked the weather forecast and it said to bring an umbrella, but I forgot halfway out the door. But I ran into that female teacher on the way, and she lent me her umbrella because she had a raincoat for her electric scooter. I'm so grateful, and she has such a cute smile. Hmm, it's definitely not just because she lent me an umbrella. We got to know each other properly, and it turns out her name is Hoshino Seri, which is a nice name."
"Ugh, finally on vacation! Awesome!"
"Going back to work, I don't want to go... I heard that Hoshino-sensei went on a trip to Lingui? But judging from the emoticons on her WeChat Moments, it seems like the trip wasn't very good. Hehehe, luckily I had the foresight to never go on vacation. Haha."
"Hoshino-sensei has gone on another trip. This time she went to Lijiang. I really envy her. She has endless energy, unlike me, a shut-in who just wants to stay at home all day without moving."
"Hoshino-sensei went out again. But Yamashiro is indeed a city that has never been attacked by the Abyss Beasts. The scenery looks really nice. Hoshino-sensei in the panda outfit in the photo is so cute. I wish she were my girlfriend."
"Pah, pah, pah! What a shrimp-headed guy!"
"Today, Hoshino-sensei actually treated me to fruit. It tasted very sweet, so I specially went to buy a pound of it. Why isn't it as sweet now? Damn it, this darn merchant is biased towards girls, isn't he!"
"I feel a bit dizzy today, I really want to take the day off..."

"I went to the hospital for a checkup, and it seems there's a tumor in my brain, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem; it's a benign tumor."
"Wow, the other person is also an anime fan! Hehehe, Hoshino-sensei blushing because her secret was discovered is really cute. I wish I could see her blushing every day."
"Hoshino-sensei looks so beautiful when she's asleep today!"
"Oh no, it seems like they found out I've been secretly looking at their WeChat Moments and saving their landscape photos. Will they think I'm a pervert?!"
"Hoshino-sensei gave me a gift today. Could it be that she likes me too? No, no, guys have three common misconceptions: phone vibrating, I managed to turn the tables with a sliver of health, and she likes me. This must be just my imagination. I need to be more careful, or I'll be seen as a clueless guy."
"Waaaaah, it's not my imagination, Hoshino-sensei seems to really like me! He agreed to go on a date with me, and we went to an orphanage, a nursing home, and a movie theater. But Hoshino-sensei looks a little tired today. And let me emphasize again, I'm not a foot fetishist, I'm a Hoshino fetishist!"
"Sigh, I almost got closer to Hoshino-sensei today, damn that abyssal werewolf!"

"I think I've lost my virginity? But why don't I feel anything at all? So sad..."
"Why do we need holidays? Holidays are for people who don't contribute to society. I love going to work! I want to be with Hoshino-sensei every day!"
"I went to the hospital again today for another checkup, and the doctor suddenly told me that the tumor has worsened. I was completely stunned. Should I tell Hoshino-sensei?"
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to keep it a secret for a while. After making this decision, I suddenly felt that I was really selfish and morally despicable! I have a tumor in my brain, and I still want to date Hoshino-sensei. Isn't this really unfair to Hoshino-sensei? But... I really like Hoshino-sensei so much! Whatever, I'll be selfish. Even if I die, I still want to be Hoshino-sensei's colleague for another half semester!"
"Waaaaah, Hoshino-sensei, the magical girl, is finally back! Every day feels like an eternity, but today I can finally go on a date with her again. I've got everything all set up this time, hehehe, Hoshino-sensei shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I really can't stand. This feeling of moral guilt is too unbearable. I'll just throw the report into Hoshino-sensei's drawer. If it gets discovered, so be it..."
""
Kikyo, the magician, flipped through the diary, among which were landscape photos from Hoshino Seri's travels, as well as photos of the two of them on dates.
Until I saw the last page, there was a photo taken under wisteria blossoms. Teacher Xiaobai not only developed it into a photograph, but also carefully noted the specific date next to it.
A few delicate dried flowers were added to the edges of the photo, giving the whole picture a romantic feel.
At this moment, the memory seemed to come alive, and the magic of the bellflower brought back the scene of that day—under the long corridor covered with wisteria blossoms.
Teacher Xiaobai and she smiled at each other, as if it had all happened yesterday.
Suddenly, a few warm tears slid down silently, one after another, dripping onto the diary, blurring the words and covering the photos with a light mist.
Kikyo, the magician, stroked the notebook, holding it in her arms like a precious treasure.
"Liar! Teacher Xiaobai, you're a big liar who deceives our feelings!"
"We clearly agreed that you would come on a trip with me this month. You lazy bum, don't you really want to go?"

""
Kikyo muttered to herself for a while. After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she was about to go home to check the report that Shiro-sensei had put in the drawer last time.
"I take pictures while my house is on fire, I sleep while my life is in chaos~"
In the quiet room, a phone call suddenly came in.
This is Bai Yuze's phone. When Bai You and others were crying and complaining on Moon Mountain, he handed it to the magician Kikyo.
Now, Kikyo, the magician, stared at the caller ID on the phone and fell silent. Why did Peng Liang have so many problems?
But since the other party had called, she couldn't very well not answer.
As soon as the call connected, Peng Liang's annoying words rang out from the other end of the line, "Hey, Brother Bai, are you up yet? What time is it? They say the plan for the year starts in spring and the plan for the day starts in the morning. Come out quickly, I'll treat you to a big meal."
However, after Peng Liang finished speaking, he did not hear a friendly greeting from Bai Yuzhe, but instead heard a hoarse female voice: "Captain Peng, tell us your location, and we can also resolve the issue of the Violet Mage's identity."
Peng Liang:
66
""
At this moment, Peng Liang's mind was racing.
It's not surprising that Bai Yuze's phone is in the hands of Kikyo, since they're already a couple and it's not unreasonable for them to sleep in the same bed.
But wasn't Kikyo the Magician still fighting the Abyss Beast last night?
Does she still have the energy to make Bai Yuzhe pay public grain?
Although his mind was racing, Peng Liang quickly suggested a place: Yi Yuan Noodle Shop. This was a place Bai Yuze used to take him to, saying it was to support a relative's business.
Upon hearing the familiar place name, Kikyo, the magician, paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
At six o'clock in the morning, the first rays of sunlight peeked out, tinging the sky with a faint orange-yellow hue.
Li Jianguo rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and then skillfully opened the door of the one-yuan noodle shop.
Call ~
The air is filled with the fresh scent of a city just beginning to awaken, and the occasional chirping of early birds in the distance heralds the start of a new day.
The thought of Bai Yuze bringing his girlfriend to visit him a couple of days ago made him happy. The girl seemed quite nice, gentle and beautiful, and had a good personality; she was a good girl.
He should be able to hold a baby soon; things are getting better and better.
The shop hadn't been open for long when it welcomed its first customer. Peng Liang put his phone aside and called out to Li Jianguo, who was standing next to him, "Uncle Li, please prepare three bowls of noodles, all with chili peppers. Oh, and make the third bowl extra spicy, especially for Brother Bai."
"Hahaha, you little rascal."
Not long after Peng Liang arrived, Hoshino Ranri arrived.
Peng Liang turned his head to look behind Hoshino Seri, his eyes filled with doubt. "Miss Hoshino, where's Brother Bai?"
"He's dead."
"Haha, I didn't realize you had a talent for joking, Ms. Hoshino."
Peng Liang chuckled a few times, but when he saw that Hoshino Seri's face showed no sign of a smile, his expression gradually turned serious.
"There were indeed casualties in other areas of Yeqiu City, but it seems there were no casualties in Tianxin District."
"Last night."
Peng Liang suddenly fell silent. He had thought of this idea when Kikyo answered the phone, but he felt that the possibility was as absurd as the sun rising in the west or a sow climbing a tree.
But now, this idea seems to have actually become a reality.
"Miss Hoshino, you must be joking. He's just a teacher. Last time I asked him to be the liaison for the Judgment Squad, he was terrified. How could he possibly be in a place like that? Sister-in-law, you must be joking with me, right?"
Peng Liang forced a smile, his eyes fixed on the other person, as if trying to catch a hint of relief on their face to prove that it was all just a misunderstanding.
But he was soon disappointed; all that appeared on the other person's face was heaviness and endless sorrow in their eyes.
In that instant, Peng Liang's heart sank, and an unprecedented tension and panic surged within him. He suddenly realized why Bai Youqing had cried so sadly and desperately last night.
But what really made him uneasy was that the beautiful and cute magical girl could actually be a boy?
