Chapter 383 Providing assistance is not that simple.
"You know what, little fish?"
"The Orc Mutual Aid Association's one-on-one assistance is not as simple as just making a donation; it requires approval from the association's committee members."
"Why is it so complicated?"
After having a fairly pleasant dinner with the dog girl, the cat and fox went to the villain's rooftop and chatted while watching the sunset.
Then they discussed the matter of funding.
"I heard there was a serious accident when the mutual aid association was first established—"
"Some malicious donors use the guise of tuition assistance to obtain a list of donors from the mutual aid society, but in reality, they harbor malicious intentions to commit crimes."
"Fortunately, during routine reviews, the mutual aid association discovered that his targets were all orc girls, so they sent people to follow him and gather clues, and arrested him before he could carry out his crimes."
Upon hearing this, Nan Jiayu paused for a moment, then gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"I see... So there really are people who want to use mutual aid societies to achieve their dirty intentions."
"Yes. Since then, every peer-to-peer donation has required approval from the mutual aid association, precisely to prevent this from happening again."
"But this is for the best, at least it can deter the vast majority of criminals."
"Speaking of which, does Xiao Wang know about the mutual aid association's financial assistance?" Nan Jiayu suddenly asked.
Su Tianqing nodded.
"Know."
"But... Xiao Wang's identity is a bit special, so the mutual aid association is also in a difficult position with her."
"She was a homeless orphan with no identification, so we could only re-register her household registration, but we got stuck at the accounting level."
"Even the first wave of charitable subsidies given to her by the mutual aid association was personally approved by the chief committee member. It didn't go through the formal procedures. If we want to provide one-on-one assistance, we have to get past this first."
"It's more troublesome than I imagined," Nan Jiayu couldn't help but sigh.
I once thought that after receiving the list and selecting the recipients, I could just contact them directly. I didn't expect that not only would there be an approval process, but I would also have to go through a series of formal procedures.
While it does demonstrate the seriousness of the Hero Association's charitable organization, it still gives one the feeling that "this is a bit too much trouble."
"But in order to ensure the safety of those receiving funding, it is still necessary to be serious."
Su Tianqing said,
"Moreover, Xiao Wang said that she receives a tuition fee remittance every month, but she is worried that the money is of dubious origin, so she just leaves it there without daring to touch it. It is probably a fund specially approved for her by the mutual aid association."
"Let's wait patiently for the mutual aid association committee's review before discussing anything else."
After saying that, the fox girl grinned and suddenly returned to her usual appearance.
"Rabbit and Nightfall have something to do tonight, and it seems Aurora was also called to a banquet by her dad."
"Little Fish, so what should we do tonight?"
……
It was a very ordinary night.
Without summoning any monsters or damaging any buildings, and without even giving prior notice, the cat and fox arrived at the Hero Association's affiliated hotel in their magical girl forms.
...Going to the hotel was definitely not for anything lewd; it was because the magical girl compass in my hand indicated that the Akiku Squad's accommodation was right there.
"Miss Akikasa! Come out, Maru!!!"
The fox spirit set up a large megaphone made of magic and howled a few times towards the hotel.
The following morning, a video appeared on the Magical Girl Fox Official account.
The account listed in the creator list is marked with 【Magical Girl Aki Katsura official】, such a dream collaboration made both fans of the series and fans of Aki Katsura celebrate.
Good morning, noon, and evening, everyone!
[When you all see this video, I'm having a late-night snack with Miss Qiugui~]
Video title: "Fox Fox's Autumn Osmanthus Interview ~ This Popular Idol Magical Girl Has This Side Too!?"
The four members of Qiu Gui's team sat calmly at the food stall, surrounded by a defensive barrier that completely prevented outsiders from knowing what was inside.
It seems to be to prevent Qiu Gui's fanatical fans from rushing in and going crazy.
[Fox is planning an interview with Ms. Qiu Gui tonight! Viewers in the live stream have already asked many questions they'd like to ask Ms. Qiu Gui. Would you be willing to answer them?]
"Oh, of course! Everyone's very enthusiastic."
On the screen, Qiu Gui, sitting next to the golden fox, appeared very relaxed. Xia Jin, Chun Lan, and the others across the table also showed no signs of being forced to work; instead, they exuded a leisurely atmosphere.
Fox started by asking about Qiu Gui's idol journey, and then talked about many things related to magical girl battles, as well as a series of experiences in the port city of Suicheng.
Qiu Gui, who was a little nervous at first, gradually relaxed in the harmonious atmosphere, chatting with her teammates and Mao Hu while eating at the food stall.
The video was filled with laughter, a stark contrast to the previous style of fighting and picking fights, which earned high praise from viewers.
Next was the segment where the cat and fox duo read the comments from the viewers in the live stream.
[First up is the first comment!]
[A comment from "Qiugui's Shoes and My Lunchbox"—What color socks is Miss Qiugui wearing today?]
【Ah... well... well... my formal attire has always included orange-red stockings】
The live chat was instantly flooded with comments like "[Shrimp Head Autumn Osmanthus Powder is here]" and "[Autumn Osmanthus Powder to cleanse the palate]", which brought another round of laughter.
[Second comment]
The video switches to the Hellcat's perspective.
[A message from "Xia Jin NO1"—I'd like to ask Ms. Xia Jin, what were your feelings during that amazing guitar solo last time?]
【Huh? They're actually asking me?】
Xia Jin, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked at the camera familiar flying towards her, and started chatting leisurely.
"Little Wang—, he's calling us in."
A call pulled Wang Xiaowang back to reality from the video on his phone.
The dog girl snapped out of her daze, her ears perked up, and looked in the direction that had called her.
This is the office building next to the Chengdu Heroes Association, the headquarters of the National Orc Mutual Aid Association.
As a specially approved recipient, the mutual aid association invited me and the donor to come to the headquarters office for a meeting to discuss the specific details of the grant.
"You called us over for a talk, is it really that formal?" Nan Jiayu said to Su Tianqing, her words reaching Wang Xiaowang's ears.
The fox spirit covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Hehehe, of course, if this works out, we might be able to help even more children in need in the future."
"Little Wang, we're about to face the chief committee member of the Orc Mutual Aid Association. Are you nervous?"
"Is he... a little... a very fierce person?" the dog girl said timidly.
"No, don't worry. The chief committee member is a kind person who has helped many children."
Su Tianqing calmed the dog girl down and, guided by the staff, entered the conference hall.
The meeting room was rather simple; it was just a room with a square conference table.
Seated at the head of the square table was a young man dressed in black with black hair, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips.
Seeing the three people enter the room, he stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and turned on the ventilation fan in the conference room.
He looked up at the three girls, his eyes, as blue as the ocean, burning with an invisible flame. He hadn't done anything, yet the three orc girls were simultaneously stunned.
With just a glance, Su Tianqing inexplicably felt a strong chill—
Even Jormungandr's molten gold serpent eyes had never given him such a terrifying feeling!
Why is this young man in his twenties or thirties... even stronger than a celestial behemoth...?
"Please sit down, Miss Su Tianqing, Miss Nan Jiayu, and classmate Wang Xiaowang."
The black-haired youth revealed a kind smile, and his gaze, which seemed to see into the soul, shifted to the files in front of him, allowing the three of them to finally breathe a sigh of relief and regain control of their bodies.
Let me introduce myself first.
"My name is Nan Hexi, a registered Super S-class hero, codename [Barbarossa]."
"I also serve as the chief committee member and chairman of the Orc Mutual Aid Association, and I have come here specifically to investigate Miss Heartmoon Fox's long-term sponsorship commission."
After speaking, the young man who called himself Nan Hexi looked up. The oppressive feeling in his eyes had eased considerably compared to when he first entered, but it was still filled with an inexplicable sense of pressure.
"bring it on."
Let's begin our agenda for today.
