Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 130 Clues (8k)

"Well, I'm back."

Lin Yun raised the corners of his mouth as kindly as possible, pretending to see Bai Jingxuan for the first time, and asked, "I already know the classmate on the left, but what about the one on the right? Also your friend?"

He ignored Xia Liang's small movements, because he didn't want to interpret what this troublesome girl was doing, or in other words, he could guess what Xia Liang was secretly shouting.

While Bai Jingxuan and Lin Xiaolu were watching from the side, he still needed to keep his identity a secret in front of these two, and it would definitely be the safest thing to put on a serious elder posture.

As for Bai Jingxuan's identity as a magical girl, he didn't plan to reveal it. Even from the perspective of "Lin Yun", he had every reason to speculate to this point, but it made sense to continue to play dumb.

"...Don't ask around like this."

It's just that Lin Xiaolu couldn't understand Lin Yun's thoughts, she wiped her hands with a rag, looked up at her father, and responded bluntly: "This child, like Xia Liang, is also my companion when I was a magical girl. "

In her opinion, today is the day when she brings outsiders to her home for the holiday, so it is best to explain their identities and circumstances clearly so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

What's more, although her father was indeed meeting Bai Jingxuan for the first time, the people present today - Xia Liang and Hong Siyu were all related to magical girls, so there was no reason for him not to guess Bai Jingxuan's identity.

Anyway, she had long since given up concealing the matter of the magical girl from her father, so she had no mental burden to say what she had to say.

"My name is Bai Jingxuan." Bai Jingxuan on the side also hurriedly reported her name.

"...Oh, it turns out that this child is also a magical girl. It's amazing at such a young age."

Lin Xiaolu's abruptness only surprised Lin Yun for a moment, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure.He showed a look of surprise, and acted like an ordinary person who didn't know anything: "Hello, hello, Lulu, thank you for taking care of me."

"Where! Actually, sister Xiaolu is taking care of me..."

The two immediately exchanged polite greetings, the elder was kind and amiable, while the younger was reserved but polite, as if they were in harmony.Outsiders seem to have no idea what's going on in it.

As for those who knew the inside story, both Xia Liang and Hong Siyu had subtle expressions, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which made Lin Xiaolu give them a strange look.

The two people here are repeating useless red tape, and the few people next to them are thinking about other things. Among the people present, there is only one goblin whose mind is still on the kitchen stove.

And when Mo Ke ignored the boring politeness of Lin Yun and Bai Jingxuan, and shifted his eyes to the frying pan beside him, he immediately blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and shouted loudly: "You guys! The pot is burnt!"

Only then did everyone present realize that the burnt smell swept the entire kitchen.The girls who put down their work before saw that the frying pan was already smoking, and they were a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly gathered around.

It's just that the incident happened suddenly and they acted hastily, so they didn't make any relevant preparations, so they rushed to the stove without preparation, which caused a series of more troubles instead.

——"Wow! Breathing fire!"

"The shovel...the shovel...the shovel is so hot!"

"I, I'm going to get water!"

Bai Jingxuan picked up an empty bowl and wanted to reach out to the pool, but unfortunately she was too small and didn't pay attention to her feet. She just moved two steps to the side when she tripped over Lin Xiaolu's feet and lost her balance.

Seeing that the bowl in her hand came out and she was about to fall, it was Lin Yun who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, reached out and grabbed the collar behind her neck, and then caught the bowl that flew into the air.This avoided an impending kitchen tragedy.

"I'm sorry..." Bai Jingxuan, who was picked up by Lin Yun, stared blankly at the ground, raised her head for a while, looked at the bowl in his hand, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, you'll be fine."

Lin Yun let go of Bai Jingxuan's collar, and put the bowl back into her hand: "Don't worry, be careful."

He didn't let Bai Jingxuan go back to cook, because seeing the chaotic scene, he knew it was time for him to take over the dinner.Now that he has returned to his home, he has no reason to let a group of juniors busy in the kitchen.This is neither an adult's face, nor safe at all.

"But what's the matter with you?"

Before stepping up to the stove, he glanced back at Hong Siyu: "It's fine to let the children do the cooking before, but now you're still sitting on the sidelines? Is this how you usually take care of people?"

"you ask me?"

Hong Siyu blinked innocently: "You've wronged me, not because I don't want to, but because it's a long story..."

"Long story short." Lin Yun interrupted her.

Hong Siyu grinned, pointed at herself with a thumb: "I'm banned from the kitchen."

Lin Yun was silent, but still couldn't help but give her a blank look.

One of the two adults present could hardly be counted on, and he didn't bother to say anything to Hong Siyu, stepped forward to take over the work of the girls, and picked up the kitchen utensils himself.

"Okay, I'll cook, you go play."

With that said, he freed the girls from the kitchen.

When he was in the secret base before, he did not cook much by himself. Although he was away on business for many days, he was familiar with returning to the stove. Unlike Delphinium 138's height, the familiar altitude also made the movements of his hands change. It is much more convenient.

However, he still paid attention to it, and tried to make some differences from the "delphinium's technique" in terms of seasoning and heat.

After all, if the tastes of the two are too similar, it will inevitably arouse Lin Xiaolu's suspicion.

In addition, before he came back, the girls had already prepared some dishes, so he didn't need to spend much effort. The rest of the task was to cook the rest of the ingredients.

In this way, after a short period of busy work, the festive dinner was completed.The full moon festival, which was originally planned to be spent by only two people, became much more lively because of the participation of several other people.

Lin Yun had also considered before, whether to call the rest of the magical girl team to the house for the holiday.After all, if there were only him and Lin Xiaolu celebrating the festival, the atmosphere would inevitably become dull and awkward.

The ease of the relationship with his daughter does not mean that he and Lin Xiaolu have more common topics. In fact, he still doesn't have much to share with his daughter after breaking away from his identity as a magical girl.

Talk about hobbies?He and his daughter don't have any common hobbies at all, and it's actually hard for him to say what personal hobbies he has.

Talk about study?Usually as a delphinium, it doesn't matter, asking Lin Xiaolu about her grades in a fatherly tone will probably only make the atmosphere of the conversation more rigid.

In addition, the girls in Fangting City's team have undoubtedly been regarded as quite good friends after several months of getting along with each other. It doesn't seem like a good idea to forcibly separate them on such a day.

And if Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan were called together, the above-mentioned problems would undoubtedly be alleviated, and the juniors could communicate by themselves.

The only problem is how he will open his mouth - such a request in Lin Yun's capacity will appear to be a mystery of motives; in the capacity of Delphinium it will appear too abrupt.

What he didn't expect was that before he could make a decision, Hong Siyu had already led the whole team to his home.Only then did the present scene occur.

From this perspective, he still has to thank Hong Siyu, although the other party may have just been on a whim, but he has undoubtedly solved a small trouble for him.

In addition, from a security point of view, it is undoubtedly the best option for Fangting City's team to be able to gather at their own home.

The unknown call received in the evening was like a thorn in Lin Yun's heart.

The other party asked himself to be "careful", but he didn't give an answer as to what to be careful about.

Could it be a trap like the night when Lin Xiaolu was in danger?Or is there going to be a very powerful remnant beast attacking Fangting City next?
In this happy and harmonious atmosphere, Lin Yun's mood was always a bit worried.

Therefore, after the dinner lasted for a while, Lin Yun still found an excuse, went back to his room first, and dug out the magic mirror used to communicate with the investigation institute.He submitted the results of his investigation in Bo'an City in recent days, as well as the unknown phone call to the investigation institute.

After doing all this, he returned to the restaurant to have dinner with the others.

After calmly thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that the most important thing he should do now is to stay vigilant, while guarding against enemies that may appear at any time, while keeping an eye on the new magical girls at home.

No matter what possible enemies might want to do, as long as you keep these kids under your watch, you'll be fine.

In this way, time gradually passed under Lin Yun's slightly tense mood.

The other people present didn't seem to notice what was wrong with Lin Yun, only Xia Liang seemed to feel that Lin Yun's mood was a little different from usual.

So she furtively winked at Lin Yun, and sent a message to Delphinium's cell phone, asking if something happened.

Lin Yun did not reply to her.

He just used Delphinium's account to log into the group of the Fangting City team, and while expressing holiday blessings to the other magical girls, reminded them to pay attention to safety when he was away. Donghua Prefecture may not be peaceful recently.

In this regard, the girls seem to focus on the fact that the delphinium did not come back for the holiday.They didn't pay much attention to words like "be careful" that have nothing to do with magical girls.

This forced Lin Yun to secretly send a few more group messages, repeatedly emphasizing that "it may be dangerous", which attracted the attention of the girls.

Just like that, after dinner time was over, after the girls went to the living room to watch TV, Hong Siyu offered to leave.

"It's a rare holiday. I'd better go back early to catch up on sleep. I was exhausted from the recruitment exam a few days ago." That's what she said.

Lin Yun didn't do much to keep her anymore, and sent Hong Siyu to the door, watching her take off her shoe covers and put on her coat.

"It's really troublesome for you to go to the secret base to take care of them these days."

After walking out of the porch, he considered his words and said, "Thank you very much, too, for taking the initiative to bring those children here today."

"Just for this kind of thing?"

Hong Siyu put on the bag and looked at him with a smile: "Then there is no need to thank you, after all, it is our relationship, right?"

"I don't remember any strange relationship between me and you." Lin Yun calmly denied.

"Strange relationship? How come, is the relationship between seniors and seniors very strange?"

Hong Si and stared wide-eyed: "What I wanted to express just now was 'it is natural for magical girls and juniors to help each other', but what are you talking about, senior? I don't understand at all."

"……yes."

"What is such a flat reaction? I seized the opportunity to turn against the general. Can you give me some feedback?"

"No, you're right."

Lin Yun walked along the corridor with her: "It's only natural to help each other, I apologize."

"Ah, here we go again, suddenly being prudish at such a time! Obviously..."

Hong Siyu yelled with some dissatisfaction, but in the middle of speaking, she suddenly paused.

Her eyes suddenly passed over Lin Yun's shoulder, and looked behind him, as if she saw something, she pursed her lips inexplicably.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yun followed her gaze and looked back, but could only see the empty corridor and the black garbage bags placed beside the public trash can.

"Um... no, nothing."

Hong Siyu's eyes straightened a little, and after a while, he returned to his original expression, and laughed loudly: "I just wanted to sneeze suddenly, but I have already suppressed it."

"...don't act so scary because of something like this."

Lin Yun drooped his eyelids and said, "And is it necessary to hold back? It's not an embarrassing thing."

"For women, it is very embarrassing and damaging to the image."

Hong Siyu shook her finger: "Senior, you have to be careful, always making such remarks to women of the right age, there is no way to find a stepmother for Xiaolu."

"I'm getting old, I don't need this kind of ability anymore."

Lin Yun said indifferently: "I don't have this idea, and Lulu doesn't seem to like it either. It's fine now."

"Single like that?" Hong Siyu tilted his head.

"Otherwise?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously.

"No, I want to say... Ah, forget it, that's pretty good."

Hong Siyu breathed a sigh of relief after a brief pause: "That's it, it's not bad to be single all the time, after all, I have been single all the time."

"Then you are going to get married." Lin Yun glanced at her, "There is a subsidy for the retirement of magical girls in the economy, and a job in the Bureau of Foreign Affairs in social relations, and she is also considered a beauty in appearance. If you really want to look for it, you will not be able to find it. Are you there?"

All that came was silence.

"what happened?"

"Senior, do you think... I'm a beauty?"

"Is it weird? I'm not going to deny objective things."

"It's very strange! I feel that you have never regarded me as the opposite sex at all!"

"..."

"Why don't you talk anymore, senior?"

"I'm thinking about how to express it less hurtful."

"It hurts when you think like that!"

"Then I'm sorry, as you said, yes."

"Huh? Be careful, I'm pretending to cry in the corridor and complaining about scumbags!"

"Where did you come from, a Pingci fraudster?"

"The scammer wants your money, but I'll give it to you for free. Would you like to try?"

"Stop making such bad jokes."

Sighing helplessly, after sending Hong Siyu to the elevator door, Lin Yun suddenly asked, "Are you sure you want to go? Actually, I suggest you stay."

"Huh? Senior, what do you mean? You want to keep me overnight?" Hong Siyu covered her mouth.

"It's just a little bit worried, after all, it may not be safe in the future."

"Not very safe? Why?"

"Remember the unknown phone number I told you about?"

Lin Yun looked back slightly, and after confirming that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said expressionlessly: "I received it again this afternoon."

"Weird call...ah, that one? Really?"

Hong Siyu's eyes widened in surprise: "The other side told you that there might be something dangerous?"

"Yes."

Lin Yun said with a serious expression, "It's almost exactly the same as last time."

"You mean, that time in Wetland Park?"

"Yes."

Lin Yun nodded: "So I have to trouble you to inform the Bureau of Different Strategies, and it is best to stay..."

Ding--

The sound of the elevator interrupted his instructions.The elevator of the apartment building stopped in front of the two of them, and then slowly opened the door.

The two people standing at the elevator door were silent for a while, and no one spoke again.

"...Then, I'm leaving."

In the end, it was Hong Siyu who spoke first, walked into the elevator, turned around and waved at him: "I already know what you said."

"you sure?"

Lin Yun frowned: "In case you encounter a dangerous beast on the road..."

"it does not matter."

The elevator door gradually began to close, Hong Si and shook his head, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Yun: "Anyway, no matter what kind of beast you encounter, senior, you can eliminate it, right?"

"I will do my best." Standing in the corridor, Lin Yun nodded.

"Really, then I'm relieved."

Hong Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him with a smile on his face, and gradually softened his voice:

——"I leave it to you, senior."

Her words came out of the elevator, and finally, with a crisp "bang", she was cut off in the corridor.

Lin Yun stood in the deserted corridor, looking at the closed elevator door in front of him, pondering slightly.

He is not a fool, in fact, he is very clear about what Hong Siyu is thinking.It's just that this thought is a bit out of date for them now.

Not to mention that he doesn't have corresponding feelings, even if he does, there are too many unsolvable practical problems between the two of them.

Hong Siyu obviously knew this too, so even though she teased her in every possible way, she never said it out loud.

This is actually a tacit understanding between them.

The relationship between them is that they were former companions, they are the seniors and juniors of the magical girl, and it is best to be like this, it can only be like this.

Any further changes may easily destroy this connection, make it deteriorate, and eventually become what no one wants to see.

He didn't care about it at first, and tried to refuse Hongsi and expressly, but the other party didn't want to make it clear and admit it, so he wisely stopped mentioning it.

They are no longer children. The interaction between adults is always like this, and the distance between each other needs to be carefully managed.Everyone will have the truth that has been hidden in the heart and will not be said, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.It is impossible to insist on keeping everything unobstructed.

In the final analysis, between two adults, as long as they can play out each other's characters to the end, it doesn't matter what the truth is.Talking about further topics hastily will only destroy the original delicate distance.

Well, that's enough for now.

This is the consensus reached between Hongsi and Lin Yun in silence.

After staring at the elevator floor display to go to the first floor, Lin Yun turned around silently and walked back home.

Hong Siyu didn't want to stay, but he had to go back as soon as possible. The warning from the previous unknown call seemed to be still in his ears. He had to be vigilant enough to ensure that the new members of the family were under his protection.

Fortunately, there have been no accidents or crises since then.

The three newcomers magical girls and fairies all stayed at home, chatted and played together; the full moon hung high outside the window, pure white and bright, and the silver-white brilliance illuminated the whole city; occasionally gorgeous fireworks flickered in the night sky, Add some warmth to this family reunion festival, and everything looks peaceful.

Just like every ordinary full moon festival, there is nothing unusual.

The time passed little by little until it was almost ten o'clock.The girls were still gathering in the living room watching a movie they had found somewhere, and even Moko sat with them with great interest.

He walked out of the kitchen with the washed fruit, ready to bring it to the living room. Hearing all kinds of loud noises coming from not far away, just as Lin Yun was thinking about what time to drive them to bed, the people chatting in the living room The content suddenly caught his attention.

——"Don't try to play tricks! It's you who will throw out the trash tomorrow!"

"No, just don't! I've been working for three days in a row, strike, meow, strike! Letting goblins do this kind of work is simply abuse!"

Those were the voices of Lin Xiaolu and Mo Ke.

"This is the punishment you gave yourself when you ate it last time! You said you would take out the garbage for a week in a row."

"Now I think your request is too much! I want to repent!"

The two continued to quarrel at the level of elementary school students in their usual way, and what they said was completely unnutritious, but Lin Yun who was on the side suddenly let go of his hands after hearing the content of their conversation.

thump.

He hastily reached out and grabbed the fruit plate, keeping most of the fruit, but the remaining oranges and pears still fell on the ground.

The fruit that fell on the ground ran around and rolled around as if out of control, and ran everywhere for a while, but Lin Yun still stood firmly on the spot, and had no intention of chasing it for a long time.

"Fruit spilled!"

Mo Ke was the first to divert his attention from the quarrel and saw this scene.Several girls immediately gathered around, wanting to help deal with the fallen fruits on the ground.

"It's okay, I can take them and wash them again..."

After explaining dryly, Lin Yun simply picked a few oranges from the ground and looked at the girls in front of him: "What's going on with the trash you mentioned just now?"

"throw rubbish?"

Lin Xiaolu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "It's not interesting. It's just that there is a schedule between us for doing housework, and the general order is based on guessing fist."

This is the first time Lin Yun has heard of this matter. It can be seen that after he left Fangting City, the three little ones have made a lot of troubles in the life of the secret base.

"Putting out the trash?"

Lin Yun looked at Lin Xiaolu inexplicably: "So, who were you talking to just now?"

"... If you say this, you are talking to it."

Lin Xiaolu pointed to Mo Ke who was floating aside: "It's the elf who made us magical girls, and is generally called the sower."

"There's nothing over there." Lin Yun ignored Xia Liang's teasing smile, and continued to maintain his ordinary persona.

"Well, because ordinary people can't see fairies."

Lin Xiaolu didn't doubt him, and explained honestly: "But they do exist, and you can touch them with your hands."

"You can't see it but you can touch it?"

After performing a full set of plays, Lin Yun stretched out his hand to touch Mo Ke again, and after expressing his surprise, he asked again:
"So, you're saying, you guys were just sending the goblin... to take out the trash?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiaolu nodded, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, it's been thrown out just now."

"Yes, is that so..."

Lin Yun felt that he was almost at a loss for words, so he could only speak mechanically.

Since he came back as a magical girl, except for the night when Lin Xiaolu encountered a dangerous situation, he has never felt so cold inside as he does now.

His brain seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and there was only a buzzing, which made his thinking a little sluggish.

The so-called "ordinary people can't see fairies" is actually a relatively broad description.

This description is not absolute. In fact, the essential reason why ordinary people can't see goblins is that they don't have enough magical power.

Generally speaking, if you want to see goblins, you must at least be a magician who has just seen the way. Only in this way can you have the magic power to see goblins.

As for magical girls, even if they are unsigned candidate magical girls, most of them already have a level of magical power close to that of a magician when they are mortals, so it is easy to see fairies.

However, retired magical girls will not have this ability.

In order to ensure that the retired magical girl abuses her power after leaving the country, the country will take back and seal the magic power of the retired magical girl, reducing it to the level of ordinary people.

In other words, the magic power in a retired magical girl's body is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.Under such circumstances, they naturally cannot see the goblin.

As a magical girl who retired through the normal process, Hongsi and Nature are no exception.In fact, according to her own statement and her previous performance, she has lost her magic power and can no longer see fairies.

But just now, through the conversation between Lin Xiaolu and Mo Ke, he finally realized: what Hong Sihe was looking at when he was at the door just now.

Hong Siyu was looking at his back, the trash can behind him, the trash bag next to him, and, at that time, the one who was struggling to fly over with a bag of trash...

...Moco.

impossible.

This is the judgment that Lin Yun can make at the first time.

His rationality told him that it was impossible, because this thing could not be explained or understood.

It is impossible for the magical power source that has been sealed back to provide magical power to the magical girl. Just like a car that loses its oil tank, without the source of energy, the magical power of the magical girl will not be much better than that of ordinary people.

And this change is almost irreversible, because he has never heard of a magical girl who can regain the qualification to use power from the country after retiring.

So, since this is the case, why did Hong Siyu see Mo Ke?

Lin Yun mechanically picked up the fruits on the ground and brought them back to the kitchen. Standing by the pool, he looked extremely calm on the surface, but his thoughts kept churning.

At this moment, he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing again.

Taking the phone out of his pocket, he looked at the screen. The number on it caught his attention: this is the strange number that he contacted him just this afternoon.

Almost instantly, he pressed his finger to connect to the phone, put the phone next to his ear, Lin Yun adjusted his breathing, and asked as calmly as possible: "Hello?"

"... Hiss."

The noise of the signal came from the other end again.

"Quick...go..."

What followed was a weaker voice than the previous few times.

"what?"

"...Go find her quickly."

"Who?"

"Go find... find..."

The cluttered voice became heavier and heavier, even overshadowing the already weak human voice, making it even weaker.Just when Lin Yun thought that this phone call might end up like before, the messy signals suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, an extremely clear and weak voice reached Lin Yun's ears from the other side of the call.

——"Master Cornflower, hurry up and find Chao Yan, before it's too late!"

　The pinned post in the book review area yesterday asked for leave, but the post did not show up for some reason...

　　I can only say that I am very sorry for this, so I took 7k6 in one breath today to make up for yesterday's update.
