"Squad name?"
Tang Zijun, feeling extremely threatened, almost strained her back.
He really didn't expect that these three girls would come to him with such serious expressions just for such a small matter.
"Why don't you guys discuss and decide this yourselves? After all, it's your team, so you should have the final say. I don't have any good suggestions."
"The problem is that Nan-jie and I really can't think of any good names," Tang Cao said with a mournful face.
Qin Nan nodded repeatedly. "At first, Tang Cao suggested that we name it 'Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon,' meaning my wind element and her ice element."
"Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon? Isn't that a great name? It suits you both perfectly and has a wonderful poetic feel, so what are you still hesitating about?"
"But this team name has already been registered!" Tang Cao Mingming whined, holding her phone in front of Tang Zijun.
Tang Zijun peeked out and saw a line of text: "[This name has been registered. Please enter a new name]".
"Such a great name, and it was registered by a Wood element and a Water element first! I'm so angry! They don't even have anything to do with wind and snow!"
Su Siyao added from the side, "We just browsed the Magical Girls' internal forum and found out that they named this team 'Hana-Tsuki' (花月), where 'Hana' represents wood and 'Tsuki' represents the reflection in the water."
"If that's the case, why don't they be called 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'? Wouldn't that be more fitting?" Tang Zijun asked, puzzled.
Qin Nan sighed. "That's because 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' was registered by another magical girl team composed of wood and water elements..."
Tang Zijun wiped away her cold sweat, somewhat speechless.
"There are quite a few magical girls with wood and water elements, huh?"
"Now all the good names have been taken, and the worst part is that the team name can't be the same as the magical girl's codename, which makes things even more complicated."
We've almost exhausted all our brain cells.
"In the end, this is all Old Chang's fault. The magical girls' phones were distributed a long time ago. Can you believe that I and Tang Cao got ours later than the latest awakened magical girls?"
Qin Nan put her hands on her hips and stomped her feet angrily.
"I just asked Sister Ma, and guess what? The magical girl phones were made a long time ago, just waiting for the regional heads to collect and distribute them, but Lao Chang is making all sorts of excuses not to go back to headquarters!"
"Woolen cloth..."
"The magical girl's phone can't be delivered by courier, nor can it pass through other people's hands. The district head must pick it up in person before the process can begin. And Old Chang only just got it back now!"
"this...."
Tang Zijun's lips twitched.
He truly understood Chang Lei's predicament. After all, there was at least one blue-level magical girl stationed at headquarters around the clock, and with Chang Lei's courage, he probably wouldn't dare to show himself.
It's likely that Chang Lei secretly took those two phones while the headquarters was in chaos due to the Shadow Clan's actions.
I have no idea how that old guy went through the proper procedures; I guess it was just another one of his incredibly sophisticated scams...
"Please, bro, just help us think of something." Tang Cao clasped his hands together, his face full of expectation. "As a third-rate writer... oh no, a future great author, you must be able to come up with the best-sounding name, right!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun sighed helplessly.
"It's true that I'm an online novelist, but I'm terrible at naming things... Many of my minor and supporting characters' names were contributed by readers, and some I just used readers' names directly."
"Huh?" Tang Cao's face fell.
"So, in your novels, you've never used any nice-sounding team names?" Qin Nan asked, unconvinced.
Tang Zijun rubbed her temples. "My novel is a campus romance, not an isekai mercenary story. There's no such thing as a squad name. How about a calligraphy club?"
Hearing this, Qin Nan impatiently rubbed her hair, then pulled out a stool and sat down. "I refuse to believe it. Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. With so many of us, we can't even come up with a name?"
"The problem is that this sudden turn of events has left me completely clueless..."
"Since the elemental approach isn't working, how about we try naming our team after your codenames?" Tang Zijun suggested tentatively after racking her brains for a long time.
Su Siyao blinked. "By the way, what were your codenames again?"
"Green." Qin Nan pointed to herself, then to the Tangcao (a type of herb). "White."
"One green and two white?"
Tang Zijun glanced at Qin Nan, then turned to look at the two "Tang grass" in front of her.
I must say, it's quite a vivid description...
"You're the one who's like scallions mixed with tofu!" Qin Nan said angrily.
"Listen..." Tang Zijun scratched his head.
Su Siyao then raised her hand to speak. "How about we call it 'Wuhou Qimen'? Your codenames sound like they're from the Zhuge family."
Neither Tang Cao nor Qin Nan spoke; they just stared intently at Su Siyao.
Feeling a little uneasy under their gazes, Su Siyao quickly withdrew her hand.
"I was just kidding, just kidding..."
With a sigh, Qin Nan rested her chin on her hand and said, word by word.
"Tang Zijun, you should come up with a name. We've already burned out, and we really can't think of a suitable name for our team."
Others may not know, but Qin Nan knows it very well.
Although on the surface it appears to be a team consisting of himself and Tang Cao, in reality, this team is essentially tied to Tang Zijun, and the team members and subsequent developments all require Tang Zijun's approval.
Based on this, let Tang Zijun make the decision; they really can't think of a suitable name.
In addition, Qin Nan had already prepared himself mentally. Anyway, this was Tang Zijun's younger sister's team. As long as Tang Zijun himself didn't feel embarrassed, he would accept it even if Tang Zijun chose "Funeral of Love" as his name.
Fortunately, Tang Zijun was unaware of what she was thinking, otherwise Tang Zijun's high and low status would have shown Qin Nan, a girl who was used to offending those born in the 90s, just how "profound" youth-themed literature could be!
Tang Zijun looked around and then focused her gaze on Xiaobai and Xiaohui.
Judging from their names, Tang Cao definitely inherited... no, he was infected with her bad name-giving ability. As for Qin Nan, she probably inherited it from Tan Zhixin.
From this perspective, asking these two to choose a name is indeed a bit too much of a burden for them.
However, coming up with a catchy name all of a sudden isn't so easy.
Tang Zijun slumped in her chair, feeling utterly exhausted.
This feeling was even more unbearable than with Calvin, especially with the three girls waiting for him to give a result without blinking.
"So, any good ideas?"
"It's not that easy. How about you give me some time, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning? I really have no clue how to figure it out just by thinking about it..."
Tang Zijun scratched her head, then suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Qin Nan was slightly taken aback. "W-what's wrong?"
"Daydreaming? Daydreaming...Daydreaming Society, what do you think of that name?" Tang Zijun stroked her chin and looked up to ask.
"A fantasy society? It's not particularly special."
"Isn't this a bit too hasty..."
"Then I'm out of ideas." Seeing the girls chatting amongst themselves, Tang Zijun shrugged. "This is probably the most suitable name I can think of. If you're not satisfied, you can come up with some more yourselves."
At this moment, Su Siyao, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly whispered, "Actually, I think this name is quite nice..."
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Su Siyao looked up and said, "Ideals illuminate reality, fantasies transcend reality, daydreams lose their way in reality; ideals are based on reality and build the future."
It guides people forward, inspires boundless imagination, comforts the soul, and brings people beauty...:”
"...but daydreaming is different. Daydreaming is a way to waste time. It lacks direction and foundation, and the thoughts are adrift and without support. Strictly speaking, it should be considered a negative force."
"However, daydreaming also represents a utopian romance, a pursuit of a world where all things are equal, even though it is known to be unattainable. Doesn't that represent us?"
Silently listening to Su Siyao's story, everyone present felt deeply shocked.
"Yuan, is this name really that good?" Qin Nan looked at Tang Zijun with some surprise. She didn't expect that Tang Zijun could come up with such a good name in such a short time.
But what she didn't know was that Tang Zijun was even more surprised than she was.
The word I randomly picked after agonizing over it for ages actually contains such profound thoughts. Looks like I really do have some talent. :: Bullshit!
Su Siyao's reaction is too quick. It's one thing to have such a rich knowledge base at such a young age, but I didn't expect that she had even read books about philosophy.
Recalling the gossip Xiaobai revealed before, it's true that people who are immersed in philosophy are more or less influenced by it.
With Su Siyao's somewhat exaggerated explanation, the name of the magical girl group, the Fantasy Society, was decided so hastily.
After resolving their biggest problem, Tangcao and the other two chased each other back to their bedroom, seemingly eager to continue browsing the magical girl forum and the mission system.
Tang Zijun quickly washed the two bowls and then returned to her room.
He was quite tired during this period and wanted to get a good night's sleep. He wasn't worried about where Qin Nan and Su Siyao would sleep that night.
Qin Nan could easily sleep in the guest room. It used to be a storage room, but it was cleaned up in advance because Su Siyao would sometimes come to stay. It's quite comfortable to sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor.
Su Siyao can sleep with Tang Cao. They have a good relationship and have shared a bed before. In special circumstances, it's okay for them to squeeze in.
After spreading out the blankets, Tang Zijun stretched and prepared to lie down.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a tiny figure flitting up and down outside the window.
No, that's not right. It's not outside the window, it's inside the window's reflection.
"hyacinth?"
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow and walked over with a puzzled look.
"What are you doing here so late?"
The hyacinth peeked out from its reflection, a hint of joy in its eyes, and spoke directly.
"Tan Zhixin is awake!"
