Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 92 - 37: 5-Person Team Battle (5000)_3

Susan glanced over, her face instantly becoming even more grim.

Peony was also startled, and the three people opposite them were naturally just as unprepared, stopping at the door.

The five of them stared at each other in silence.

"Yin Luo, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?" Susan was the first to speak with a cold laugh. "Why are you here with Yin Lian and Keke?"

"Yesterday’s meeting already confirmed that we’re the ones executing this task." Peony’s expression wasn’t any better. "This is a violation, Miss Yin Luo."

Before Yin Luo could speak, Yin Lian stepped forward to defend her sister. "It was a coincidence, a chance encounter, Chief Susan and Teammate Peony. We didn’t mean to disturb you executing your task; we just came to the ice cream shop and happened to see Jiang Si, and, Zi Yuan..."

With that, a strange heaviness filled the atmosphere among the five.

Yin Luo also pulled her sister behind her, stepping forward. "If you have a problem with me, you can submit a review report to the higher-ups when we return. Right now, we need to figure out what exactly is the relationship between Zi Yuan and Jiang Si. I think given our connection with Jiang Si, if they do get exposed, there’s a chance Zi Yuan might be lenient."

Peony looked at Keke, who was silently keeping her head down, then turned and glanced at Susan. "What should we do?"

"It’s already like this, what else can we do?" Susan stared at Yin Luo for a long while, then slowly said, "Don’t let it happen again, stay hidden, and report their issues with a report when we return."

The Yin Luo and Yin Lian sisters both breathed a sigh of relief, then Yin Lian took Keke’s listless hand. "Maybe it was just a coincidence, Keke, cheer up!"

Keke forced a smile, taking a deep breath to ease the persistent sour feeling, and then slapped her face forcefully. "I’m fine, Captain, let’s go."

They followed the team into the gym.

The gym was spacious, nearly the size of two small school playgrounds, divided into two areas for men and women.

The women’s area wasn’t crowded, but there were lots of concealed spots, making it more secluded and easier to hide.

The five of them didn’t spread out too far apart, each finding a seat, except for Keke who stepped onto a treadmill to try jogging slowly.

While jogging, she watched a crowd of gym-goers gather around Zi Yuan, her breath becoming a little hurried as she ran.

When you’re upset, exercising can really lift your spirits...

She glanced again at Jiang Si, who was adding weights to the barbell, her gaze complicated as she increased the treadmill speed.

"So many people gathered around Zi Yuan..."

"Well, she’s very beautiful after all."

"Did she just tell someone to get lost?"

"Kind of cool..."

Yin Luo and Peony, being from the same department, naturally started chatting idly as they sat down.

Meanwhile, Susan watched as Jiang Si left Zi Yuan behind, running over to add weights to the barbell until it was at its heaviest, working out by himself, a slight movement at the corner of her mouth.

"If in the future, your partners take you to the gym and leave you to work out alone, could you accept it?"

Everyone instinctively shook their heads.

Only Yin Lian hesitated, uncertainly saying, "Actually, it could be okay? After all, dating is about going places both people like. If the other person likes the gym, going with him isn’t a big deal, right? Dates can’t always be about places girls like; places boys enjoy matter too..."

Peony nodded, "The captain has a point."

Yin Luo adjusted her glasses, "I would definitely say beforehand that I’m not going to the gym."

Though Keke didn’t speak, her aversion was written all over her face; she’s the one who could least accept going to the gym...

Watching Jiang Si lift the heavy barbell, drawing the men away from Zi Yuan’s side, Peony softly remarked, "Looks like those two have confirmed their relationship."

The statement caused the other four to waver a bit. Peony looked around puzzled, wondering why they were hesitant, as Yin Luo spoke first:

"If that’s the case, it’s not good news for our Disaster Strategy Bureau. The Sect Leader of Cyan Cloud Sect, Zi Yuan, getting close with a member’s relative of the Magic Girl Combat Team increases the risk of trouble... If people think the Disaster Strategy Bureau has secret ties with Cyan Cloud Sect, that’s not great."

"Why isn’t it great?" Keke asked, "Isn’t the Cyan Cloud Sect reputed well in Beihai?"

"Their reputation is fine, but we are an official organization. If people suspect ties with unauthorized groups, it complicates matters like enforcing authority, headquarters’ evaluation, funding, those adult issues..."

Peony gazed at the far-off Jiang Si, deeply engrossed in working out, Zi Yuan standing by like a delicate doll, unmoving. "Even so, they seem set in their relationship; what can we do?"

Yin Lian smiled slightly, "Just because their relationship is confirmed doesn’t mean it’s unchangeable. We can disrupt their relationship too."

The three girls’ eyes lit up.

"I think," Peony promptly added, "we could just keep it under wraps? No need to break up their relationship, don’t you think?"

"No way!"

Unanimous objection erupted from the other three.

Peony shrugged her shoulders, weakly saying, "Fine... if Zi Yuan gets upset, you’ll have to deal with it yourselves, and don’t drag the Disaster Strategy Bureau into this..."

The five of them fell silent for a moment before Susan coughed lightly, "Alright then, how do we sabotage it? Let’s hear some ideas."

Yin Luo pondered a bit, then suggested:

"We just have to make Jiang Si develop feelings for someone else, right?"
