Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 15 Choice
Xia Liang often wonders if her daily life is really what she wants.

Spending time in school in a daze, laughing and laughing with those "friends" who have a bad reputation in school, and going to the so-called "Internet celebrity resort" to check in after school.Then, he went home alone, and praised life on social software, pretending that life was quite fulfilling.

Is she happy?I guess so.

She learned how to make up, how to dress, learned fashion, made friends, and became the focus of boys' eyes. Shouldn't she be happy like this?
It's just that she often feels that the smile on her face does not belong to her.The more you greet people with a smile, the more cynical you are, the more difficult it is to calm the void in your heart.

Wants to fill that void, so craves attention, craves validation.

She actually knew that her "friends" didn't like her.

They will feel that standing with themselves has lost their color, and they will feel that they have robbed them of the attention they should have. More importantly, they and they cannot be regarded as "one of us".

The reason is also very simple, Xia Liang is unwilling to participate in "part-time work".

No matter how they brag or encourage, Xia Liang is still unwilling to go.She felt like real friends weren't supposed to be like that.

But this persistence has corroded over time.

If I accept a "part-time job", will my "friends" accept me more?

If I accept a "part-time job", can I seek a closer relationship?
After such an idea was born, Xia Liang's attitude became less firm.

So today, after school, after getting another invitation from a "friend", she finally figured everything out.

So be it.

She agreed.

Follow your "friends" to Electric Town and go to what they call "meeting place".

Giving up meaningless persistence and reserve, giving up those unnecessary bottom lines and fantasies, she can pursue a more practical and true love.

She felt ready and made up her mind.

—but she saw a cat.

A pink, flying cat.

Followed by a girl with ponytail who looked a bit petite and was wearing the same school uniform as her, sneaking behind her group.

What is this doing?
Xia Liang was born with a strong curiosity, so she couldn't help but pay attention to what was behind her.

More importantly, when she saw the pink cat, she always felt that she was summoned by something and wanted to get closer.

At that moment, a certain voice appeared in her heart, telling her to go there, to find that pink cat, and to get something very important to her.

So she stopped in the middle of the street.

She was walking in the middle of the team, so when she stopped, the girls who were walking with her immediately noticed her unusual behavior, and asked her with some doubts: "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Liang looked at her, wondering for a moment whether he should say it or not, saying that he saw a flying pink cat and wanted to go over there to have a look.

She noticed that the girl walking in the front, who was also the center of their small circle, also turned her head and looked at her with some inexplicable eyes.

"I……"

She hesitated to speak, but slowly made up her mind in the process: "I suddenly have something to do, and I might have to leave today."

Then he laughed, showing a sorry expression, waved his hand, and said to the others: "You guys have fun!"

After all, he wanted to trot away.

"Xiao Liang."

The girl in front stopped her at this moment.

Holding the phone, she tapped the screen quickly with her fingers wearing long manicure, without looking at Xia Liang at all: "If you leave today, don't come here again in the future."

Xia Liang's footsteps stopped.

She turned around, looked at the girl, and then slowly turned her head to the side, looking at her "friends".

Maybe she hoped that at this time, everyone would laugh, scold, ignore her, and let her go with the usual frivolous attitude.

Only this time, everyone looked at her with a slightly strange look.

No, that is not a strange look, she knows it, she is very familiar with this look, she used to see this look in her home every day, she will not admit it.

——This look is called indifference.

Maybe I really can't integrate into them.

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Liang realized this reality.

No matter how hard I tried to smile, how I flattered them, I couldn't be with them all the way, and I couldn't be their companion from the very beginning.

The strange call in the distance is still strong, as if calling her to go quickly.

No matter how hard she usually tried to cover up and ignore the crack, a deep gully formed at this time, separating her from the girls in front of her.

Xia Liang finally put away the smile that was always on his face on weekdays, and looked at his "friends" seriously, and nodded:
"it is good."

Without any extra words, he turned around again, without looking back, and left quickly.

What she didn't expect was that this sentence brought her to the rooftop of a high-rise building 10 minutes later.

Kneeling on the ground, my heart was beating wildly, and I had to listen to the imaginary remarks of the girl named "Delphinium" in front of me.

"Magical girl?"

She had heard of it, she knew what a magical girl was.

Magic girl is a profession that often appears in children's animations. It often represents love and justice, and fights various villains.

At the same time, the magical girl is also the guardian of this world, and she is a real warrior who fights against the beasts that appear from time to time in the city.

Perhaps, the magical girl is also a dream of thousands of girls when they were young. Even if they know that they need to face dangerous battles, they still look forward to the shining self in gorgeous clothes.

But for the general public, magical girls are too distant and mysterious.

If it was normal, if Xia Liang heard someone tell her that she was a magical girl, she would probably take that person as a liar, or take this sentence as a joke, laugh and turn the topic away.

But it's different now. I was grabbed by the girl in front of me just now, and I experienced the feeling of flying into the sky.

Whether it's the other party's abrupt change of clothes, the ability to ascend into the sky, or the abnormal flickering particles when the two of them acted, none of them told Xia Liang: I met the real thing.

"So, what do magical girls want me to do?"

She had never even been on a plane in her previous life, and the first flight experience in this life was actually being taken to the sky by someone. It was such a shock to her heart that she was in a trance now.

So she can only follow the other party's logic to ask questions, and there is no reason to refute.

Then, she heard a sentence that made her even more dazed:

"Hey, do you want to be a magical girl?"

Being a magical girl?
Can I be a magical girl myself?
Xia Liang never thought about this question.

She was just an ordinary girl who was never noticed, who never really got attention, who never felt that she could be such a special existence.

Even during those days and nights spent relying on fantasies and prayers, she never thought that she could become a magical girl.

The word was so shiny it made her feel like she would burn if she got too close.

"I have to make it clear to you in advance that becoming a magical girl is not such a wonderful thing as the public imagines."

Delphinium looked at her and warned seriously: "There will be danger, fatigue, and boredom. The only advantage is that compared with ordinary people who can only sit and wait to die when encountering crippled beasts, you will have the ability to resist danger." strength."

"...Will the clothes be as cute as yours?" Xia Liang suddenly asked.

Unlike her somewhat airy question, no one noticed the gleam in her eyes.

Delphinium was a little caught off guard by this question, but she quickly responded, nodded and said, "Magic girl's clothes are as you imagined."

"Can I show off to others that I am a magical girl?" Xia Liang continued to ask.

"If it's not an emergency, no."

"Although there will be danger, I will act with you anyway, right?"

"Until you grow up, I will be responsible for keeping you safe." Delphinium nodded in promise.

"Then there is..."

——"Ah, really, it's hard to find a talented person, why is it such a frivolous girl!"

Not far away, Lin Xiaolu, whose clothes had changed into a light blue dress and her hair had also turned into golden twin-tails, interrupted Xia Liang's question with a look of resentment: "I don't want to be a partner with this kind of person at all!"

"Don't be willful, Bai Mei."

Delphinium took a look at her: "This child's talent may be very strong, and he will be an effective help."

"But……"

Lin Xiaolu was suffocated when she heard the words, and looked at delphinium with some grievances: "Her frivolity doesn't look like a magical girl at all—"

——"I want to be one."

Xia Liang suddenly spoke up.

After some questioning before, she got used to the sudden discomfort, she stood up and was walking to the edge of the roof at the moment.

In fact, since she bid farewell to her "friends" and chose to follow her inner guidance, she has already made a choice.

She glanced at Lin Xiaolu, raised her hand, grabbed her earlobe, rubbed it for a while, and then let go. There were already two shiny objects in her hand, and with a wave, she threw the things in her hand to the ground.

She took out her mobile phone again, clicked along the address book, selected more than a dozen names together, and called up the editing interface. After pausing for a moment, she resolutely clicked "delete".

"I've decided that if everything you said is true, all these things don't matter, and it doesn't matter if you give them up."

Putting down her phone, she smiled, her eyes flickering with hope, her shoulder-length black hair was blown by the wind on the roof:

"But anyway, I want to be a magical girl!"
