Chapter 271 Qin Nan's Joy
Tan Zhixin's words made Tang Zijun frown slightly.
He hadn't told Tan Zhixin about what had happened in the real world yet. After all, Tan Zhixin had just woken up, and letting her know how great the impact of the Shadow Disaster was would only increase her stress.
Although no one died in this disaster (excluding the heretical demons), and those who were devoured reappeared as the shadows faded, the sheer amount of trouble caused would surely lead Tang Zijun to feel guilty and suffer internally for a long time, given her understanding of Tan Zhixin.
Therefore, Tang Zijun is not ready to tell her about what's happening outside yet; she'll wait until she's recovered better before doing so.
But at this moment, Tan Zhixin's words forced Tang Zijun to become serious.
After a long pause, Tang Zijun finally broke the silence. "May I ask, are the memories you're sensing a single, continuous memory, or countless fragments?"
"It should be fragments of memory, lots and lots of fragments of memory, completely unrelated and very ordinary. Some are from winning a free drink, some are from buying a birthday cake for yourself, some are from seeing apricot blossoms on the roadside on your way home from get off work, and some are even from abroad..."
Tan Zhige was deep in thought, seemingly trying hard to recall, but soon she frowned, looking extremely distressed.
Seeing this, Tang Zijun quickly grabbed her wrist. "Don't think too much about it if you're feeling unwell. I was just asking. You're still quite weak, you should rest properly."
Hearing this, Tan Zhixin had no choice but to stop. "What do you think is going on with these memories?"
"I don't know." Tang Zijun shook her head. "Perhaps it's information mixed in with those shadows. After all, this is our first time contacting the shadow world, and we don't yet understand the rules of that world."
At this point, Tang Zijun stood up.
"Don't think too much right now. Focus on getting better first. Drink the meat porridge, and I'll bring you more food when it's light."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Tan Zhixin thought for a moment. "I can have Hua Xian order takeout using my phone."
"Nothing you buy outside is as good as what you make yourself. When Tang Cao was sick, I was the one who made her meals. They're all family, so there's no need to worry about bothering me."
Tang Zijun answered with a smile, then seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.
"By the way, now that you've regained your magical girl identity, go back to headquarters after you've recovered. The Magical Girl Supervision Bureau is now equipping magical girls with new cell phones."
"A new phone?" Tan Zhixin asked curiously.
"Yeah, it's a portable communicator specifically for magical girls. It has tons of apps on it, all designed to make things convenient for magical girls. I can't really explain it, just think of it as getting a new phone."
"What about the old one?"
"The old ones are gone..." Tang Zijun answered subconsciously, then suddenly paused.
Looking up, I saw the barely suppressed smile on Tan Zhixin's lips.
The next morning, Qin Nan yawned as she walked out of the guest room and strolled to the kitchen door.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qin Nan asked sleepily, looking at Tang Zijun who was busy in the kitchen.
"You're up early! You were up so late last night, why don't you sleep in?" Tang Zijun turned around and greeted him.
"I'm a bit picky about beds, or rather, I don't really like sleeping on the floor. I just don't feel comfortable sleeping there."
"No, I'll tidy up the bed. You can sleep in my room tonight, and I'll sleep in the study." Tang Zijun didn't really mind; he was the type who could sleep anywhere.
"No need. Just grant me access to the Reverse World, and I can stay in that little duplex in the suburbs tonight. Anyway, I get up earlier than Tang Cao and the others, so they won't notice if I come back early," Qin Nan suggested.
"Giving you access is fine, but it's too much trouble for you to come back every day. How about I just buy you a bed?"
"That's fine too."
Qin Nan responded while casually lifting the covered bowl, revealing a lot of small pieces of meat underneath. There was also a clay pot on the stove next to it, and she didn't know what was stewing inside.
"What's the occasion today? Why are you having such a nice breakfast so early in the morning?"
Tang Zijun was kneading dough, not turning her head. "You're lucky. This was prepared for your sister Tan. I made extra, so you should try some too."
"Sister Tan!?" Upon hearing this name, Qin Nan immediately became excited. She squeezed next to Tang Zijun and asked excitedly, "Sister Tan is awake? When did this happen?"
"Last night...we were talking about me kneading dough, stop fooling around, go brush your teeth, your breath tastes weird."
"Whose breath smells weird? Mine smells amazing, smell it, ha~"
Tang Zijun, speechless, moved Qin Nan's head away from her eyes, leaving three streaks of flour on her face.
"Go wash up quickly. Once you're done, I'll grant you access to the Reverse World. Then you can take the food to your sister Tan."
"Alright."
Qin Nan cheered and ran out.
Two minutes later, Qin Nan ran back.
After learning that Tan Zhixin had woken up, Qin Nan was no longer sleepy at all; she wished she could go to the Mirror Dimension right now.
"No wonder you secretly turned on the stove last night. I thought you were cooking for Sister Tan."
"How did you know I started the stove?" In Tang Zijun's memory, Qin Nan and Tang Cao were completely focused on the Magical Girl app last night, as excited as if they had just seen the Black Monkey DLC.
"I smell something delicious," Qin Nan chuckled. "I was planning to rob you under the guise of going to the bathroom, but then I realized you weren't home."
I even complained to Xiao Hui about how stingy you are, hiding your food while you eat...

Tang Zijun rolled her eyes.
Seeing that Tang Zijun was ignoring her, Qin Nan approached again. "Hey, how's Sister Tan? Is her injury serious?"
"It's not serious. Didn't I tell you? The shadow energy has repaired her body. Not only is her injury healed, but even her previous injuries are completely healed. It's just that the psychological trauma is a bit significant. She'll be fine after a couple of days of rest," Tang Zijun replied.
"Since she's alright, why don't you take her out for a walk?" Qin Nan asked.
"Well..." Tang Zijun paused, her hands still moving, and said, "'Going' might be a bit difficult, given your sister Tan's current condition..."
She should only be able to "pupa".
"Huh?" Qin Nan tilted her head, not understanding.
"You'll understand when you see her. Anyway, your sister Tan is fine now, and once she recovers, she'll be able to jump around and transform like you guys."
"Really?" Qin Nan's face lit up with joy, then she suddenly realized, "Wait, Sister Tan can transform now?"
"Theoretically, that's how it is. The shadow energy repaired her body and also smoothed out the negative energy left on her by the greedy one. And I absorbed the shadow energy, so your sister Tan has now recovered."
"That's great!" Qin Nan's face was filled with joy.
Tang Zijun could tell that she was genuinely happy for Tan Zhixin.
Before Tang Cao and Su Siyao woke up, Tang Zijun took Qin Nan back to the cabin in the mirror dimension.
When I saw Tan Zhixin again, she was leaning against the headboard. Perhaps because of the meat porridge she had last night, her complexion looked better than before.
"Sister Tan, Little Grey and I have come to see you... Holy crap!"
Excitedly, Qin Nan pushed open the door and immediately blurted out a line from a national treasure.
Tan Zhixin didn't show any surprise. After all, among the magical girls nowadays, there are very few people who have seen her in this state, and they are all from the older generation. People like Qin Nan have never seen anything like it.
Even Little Gray was startled, staring tremblingly at the snake's tail on the ground.
"The rumors are true... Little Green's magic... It really is this!"
"The talents of spirit beasts are sometimes truly wondrous, aren't they?" Tan Zhixin smiled slightly. "Come in."
As she finished speaking, a soft rustling sound of scales rubbing against trees rang out, followed by the sight of a snake's tail coiled on the ground slowly moving.
It's hard to describe this scene in words. When Tang Zijun arrived last night, Tan Zhixin was too weak to control her body.
Now, the snake's tail, which covered the entire ground, began to move. The visual impact was still very strong, and the shimmering light and shadow on the scales even gave people a dizzying feeling of spinning.
The snake's tail stopped moving after a short while, clearing a path from the door to the bed.
"6 Ah, Sister Tan, you're a real-life Medusa!"
Qin Nan wasn't scared by Tan Zhixin's snake tail. She excitedly ran to the bedside and handed over the lunchbox like a treasure.
"Try it! Tang Zijun and I made you some dumpling soup. There's also some chicken soup in the pot. I've tasted it for you, and it's delicious. Also, I brought you some flowers. I went to your flower shop to get them. I know you value flowers the most. Don't worry, I've already talked to Queen Ruosi, and the flower fairies in your shop are taking care of them..."
As Qin Nan was speaking, a strange feeling suddenly came over her.
Looking up, I saw Tan Zhixin touching her cheek.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Tan Zhixin laughed. "Nothing much, Qin Nan, you've grown up..."
Looking at Tan Zhixin with some curiosity, Qin Nan didn't reject the feeling, but she still blushed and shrank back.
Sister Tan, I'm not a child anymore, Xin'er, I'm not a child anymore. In a daze, Tan Zhixin seemed to hear something. The voice was very far away, as if it came from the heavens, but it also felt very close, as close as if it were whispering in her ear.
This feeling is hard to describe in words, and Tan Zhixin couldn't even be sure if it was a hallucination.
Before she could even process what she was hearing, she heard Qin Nan's surprised voice.
"Sister Tan, why are you wearing Tang Zijun's clothes?!"
