Chapter 245 Part 2: Charlotte’s Layered Tricks, Heart Lock (2)

The lovely daughter thought of this and couldn’t help but feel happy. She was eager to become better, whether as an idol or a magical girl. She wanted to improve quickly to deserve the title “the daughter of the savior.”

Chu Wang Shu longed,

“When we all become magical girls, we can travel around like Sister Charlotte, defeating disaster beasts and helping many people.”

Charlotte pinched her daughter’s cheeks and confidently said,

“That’s right! By then, Little Shu will certainly be amazing; maybe we will even need Little Shu to protect us!”

Chu Yuanqing looked at Charlotte, who had cheered up their daughter with just a few words, and couldn’t help but add seriously,

“Helping others starts with being able to protect yourself.”

“No matter what, always remember to be mindful of your own strength; Little Shu’s safety is the most important.”

Chu Wang Shu nodded obediently. She blinked and felt a bit strange, thinking… it sounded like something Daddy would say.

Kirimi Miyuki looked at the three people and felt a strange sense of not belonging.

And speaking of which, don’t both Charlotte and Little Qing care too much about Little Shu?

Little Sakura subconsciously noticed the reality of the three people, but she couldn’t wrap her mind around the truth of three girls of almost the same age walking together.

Even the incredible wisdom of Sherlock Holmes Liuli would struggle to uncover the truth hidden beneath the iceberg.

Well, on the contrary, the golden retriever, having recovered the most memories and guessed a bit about the connection between Chu Yuanqing and Chu Yuanying, had a clear understanding and was thinking about how to help Honey Qing have babies.

The group talked about Xiaoxiao, strolled through the peaceful old town, and followed Charlotte to take many photos. Along the way, they passed a lovely graveyard with a well-kept garden, white angel statues, and many crosses.

This place seems quite famous; a poet from Austria once praised it as a secret garden watched over by a smiling heaven.

Charlotte didn’t take pictures of that place; she puffed her cheeks, feeling the graveyard was unlucky, and immediately pulled Chu Yuanqing towards the stone steps leading to Salzburg Fortress.

The ancient fortress built on the mountain may not be impressive, but it is undoubtedly a landmark here, seen everywhere in the old town. Not only in the narrow alleys, but even the gaps in the rooftops reveal its grand silhouette.

Even the grand church where everyone just took pictures can see the distant old castle with its walls, but there isn’t much to see up close. After taking their photos, everyone quickly got back into the car and ran to another landmark.

Charlotte was in charge of leading the way, and her goal was clearly defined. Along the way, they passed many Baroque-style shops, where she bought lots of gifts for the young idols in big and small bags, and also picked up some local snacks and drinks, eventually reaching the bridge that connects the old town and the new town.

This building is called the Baker’s Bridge; it connects the town at one end and the square at the other, sitting over the Salt River. It looks quite ordinary, but interestingly, the metal grid by the bridge is covered with love locks from all over the world.

Over time, it became a popular spot for travelers to visit and take pictures.

The locals affectionately gave it another name—Lover Bridge. According to legend, couples who hang their love locks here will never part.

While it may be common, couples feel that a visit to Salzburg isn’t complete without coming here.

The green-eyed cat noticed something was wrong and immediately got alarmed, looking warily at Charlotte.

When Xie Qingxuan saw the hearts painted on those locks, she looked around, starting to search for a place that sells locks.

Kirimi Miyuki, feeling a bit tired, looked at the smiling Charlotte and quietly asked:

“Did you just sneak away to the antique shop by yourself to buy a love lock?”

The cute daughter felt confused and thought everyone’s reactions and conversations were very strange.

This is Lover Bridge, not Friend Bridge. What does it have to do with our group, and why buy a lock?

Charlotte tilted her head and smiled sweetly as she said:

“Congratulations, you got it right! As a reward, how about I give Miyuki my favorite little pink lock? Isn’t it cute?”

Little Sakura watched as the person took out a heart-shaped lock from their bag and placed it in her palm, feeling dazed and confused in the breeze.

As Charlotte spoke, she smoothly took out a love lock with a cat paw print on the back and handed it to Tang Liuli, making the green-eyed cat unable to look at her like a bad person anymore.

Soon, Xie Qingxuan also received a love lock with a dog paw print on the back.

The last person to get a love lock was Chu Yuanqing, but the one she received was much bigger, about four or five times the size of the others.

After Charlotte delivered the lock, she didn’t want to neglect her adorable daughter, so she took out a colorful piggy bank from her bag that she had prepared earlier and placed it in her daughter’s arms. Clearing her throat, she said:

“This is to test your magic control. Everyone, try to carve your name into it using your magic!”

Chu Wang Shu suddenly understood, so that was it.

The cute daughter innocently believed this clearly playful statement and focused on squatting by the bridge.

To avoid damaging the gift from Sister Charlotte, she carefully controlled her magic, trying hard to write her name on the colorful piggy bank, her attention fully focused.

Soon after, the other little idols also began to quietly carve their names.

However, unlike the innocent cute daughter, everyone remembered to add a heart and, most importantly, the name “Chu Yuanqing” after carving their own names.

Before long, the golden retriever, the shy cat, Little Sakura, and Charlotte’s lock were all finished.

Only Honey Qing, who had deliberately received an oversized love lock, stood still after writing her name, looking lost as if deep in thought about life’s philosophy.

The colors in Charlotte’s eyes slowly spread, and the smile on her lips grew even brighter. After looking at the Pure White Witch for a long time, she stopped being mischievous and took the love lock. She carefully engraved her name with her fingertip and then passed it to Xie Qingxuan beside her.

Xie Qingxuan had no worries about this at all, and without a second thought, she wrote her name next to Charlotte’s.

The green-eyed cat noticed this and got anxious, forgetting how wrong it seemed. It hurried to write the next name, making the innocent Little Sakura feel pressured not to fall behind, and she had to overcome her shame to write down her name.

It is worth mentioning that Charlotte wrote in German, Liuli wrote in Gloria’s language, Little Sakura wrote in Japanese, and Chu Yuanqing and Xie Qingxuan wrote in Daxia language.

As a result, the names on the big lock ended up being as complicated as those at an international adult party.

Charlotte’s layers of tricks worked perfectly, and she smiled playfully at everyone. She then pointed her fingertip to her lips, winked, as if not wanting her dear daughter to hear, and whispered softly:

“Next, shall we find a place to hang it together?”

Although the little idols, as public figures, thought hanging a lock here might bring trouble in the future, they couldn’t possibly give up after being tricked by Charlotte.

Moreover, there were so many locks on Lover Bridge that seemed endless. Who would check them all, especially while being a fan of theirs?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

So, after the lovely daughter finished dealing with the colorful piggy bank, in a certain corner of Lover Bridge, four love locks of the same size were hung side by side, along with one very large love lock that looked quite flirtatious.

Splash, splash.

Under the bright blue sky, a gentle breeze blew through the skirt, creating a crisp sound like waves. This was the music written by the gentle clinking of locks as they touched each other, harmonious and beautiful, as if telling… a tender future.
