Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 180 New Member

At the beginning of December, the weather turned cold, and the bleak wind brought a light snow, and the streets of Fangting City became much paler in winter.

The pale sky is high and wide, and although the sun shines, it doesn't bring any warmth from the sun.When the cold wind blows, it is mixed with a faint whistling sound, as if it is the roar of nature.

It was the weekend, but there were not many pedestrians on the road.The streets were filled with chills, and a few people who went out were wrapped in heavy winter clothes, enduring the invasion of the cold on their cheeks, and walked across the gray and white road.The hustle and bustle of the city was blown away by the cold wind, leaving only silence and loneliness.

In such a cold season, most people prefer to spend the rare weekend indoors with full heating.

The street outside is cold, and the heating inside the house is very precious.A layer of glass divides two worlds, cold and warm, and the water mist on the window lattice seems to be telling the unwillingness of the cold outside.

With a sound of "heh", she spit out the mist from her mouth on the glass, watching the area of ​​the mist slowly shrinking, Lin Xiaolu drew a simple smiling face on it a little bored.Looking at the lonely scenery outside the house through the gap of the smiling face, but still did not see her equal, and then looked back at Xia Liang who was lying sideways on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Why hasn't the delphinium come back?"

"It always feels like you're asking about delphiniums, but there's something else hidden in your words."

Xia Liang stared at the phone screen without looking back, and said in a lazy voice: "Does being alone with me make you feel so boring?"

"Whoever is alone with you just happens to be in a living room."

Lin Xiaolu looked again at the smiling face she had just drawn, and saw that her "masterpiece of art" had become mottled in just two sentences, and subconsciously squinted her eyes: "Don't be sentimental, I'm really just Asking about delphiniums."

"Even if there is no other meaning, you have asked this question at least three times."

Xia Liang tapped the keyboard on the phone screen, while muttering in his mouth: "If you haven't come back, you haven't come back. No matter how anxious you are, it's useless. Don't you have anything else to do?"

"No."

Lin Xiaolu wiped away the smiling face she just drew, and muttered, "The practice of magic power has reached a bottleneck, and the homework for school has also been finished. There are no interesting programs on TV, and there is absolutely nothing to do."

"Where's the game? Where's your magical girl team?"

"It's over, I have cleared all the levels."

Turning around from the window and walking back to the center of the living room, Lin Xiaolu sat back on the sofa with a sullen expression: "Mom... I also changed the role of Sucao. I have already reached the highest level, and I have no interest in continuing to play."

"Isn't there a new event? There's also a new character coming out, called Morning Glory... or something?"

"I'm not interested, the dark horns are not my type. Magical girls are still sparkling, which is more exciting."

As soon as Lin Xiaolu heard the name "Mountain Cow", Lin Xiaolu pursed her mouth subconsciously, and her evaluation was merciless: "As for the new event, it doesn't feel very interesting, isn't it just the most old-fashioned villain's debut show? It's all bad in the animation."

"Then go and fight with other players. I remember that game has player competition content?"

"Huh? Let the magical girl I cultivated painstakingly compete with others. There is no benefit in winning, but you will be humiliated if you lose. Are you a devil?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened.

"The devil is the game operation, right? I'm just telling the truth."

Xia Liang put down the phone helplessly: "This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work, why don't you go downstairs to train with Xiaoxuan?"

"She has already awakened the magic costume, what's the use of me going."

Lin Xiaolu pursed her lips: "And I always feel that the child has suddenly become a lot more powerful recently, and it is completely useless for me to compete with her now."

"If you really want to say that, it is true."

Xia Liang nodded approvingly: "It's okay if you can't win against her at all, I'm almost at the level of Ye, and I feel that I still have no advantage against her. The time for the junior to lead her to special training has also increased. It feels like something happened to that kid that we don't know about."

"Will there be?"

Lin Xiaolu propped her elbows on her knees, blinked suspiciously, "I don't feel anything."

"Have you noticed, that child has recently completely given up the title of 'teacher' and started chasing after the juniors to call 'mother'."

Xia Liang slightly raised his head leaning on the armrest, and looked at Lin Xiaolu: "Don't you have any idea about this?"

"What's wrong? After all, I told her."

Looking at Xia Liang in confusion, Lin Xiaolu tilted her head: "Primary school students are straightforward, so it's okay to express intimacy like this?"

"Then why haven't you shouted these days?"

"I'm not a primary school student! And delphinium seems to be quite troubled by this title!"

Lin Xiaolu pointed out the mistakes in Xia Liang's words fiercely, then leaned back with her hands folded, and put on a posture of thinking: "Although according to this progress, there may be such a day... But after all, the relationship between the two of them I haven't really reached that step yet, is it too selfish for me to shout like this in a hurry?"

"...As long as you like it."

Showing a weird smile that Lin Xiaolu couldn't understand at all, Xia Liang put down the phone.With force on her back, she bounced herself off the back of the sofa, and changed the subject: "Forget it, let's do housework together?"

"Eh? Don't."

Lin Xiaolu immediately felt a little disgusted and said: "I did it yesterday, so it's your turn today, right? Don't try to drag me down by changing the concept."

"You have nothing to do anyway, right?"

Xia Liang smiled slyly: "Just think of it as deepening the friendship between our teammates."

"Who cares?"

Lin Xiaolu rolled her eyes, spread her whole body on the backrest, and at the same time raised her heels, showing her attitude of refusing to land on the ground: "Instead of repeating meaningless housework, it's better to have a crippled beast appear and let me beat it now." beat."

"Hit the disabled beast?"

Xia Liang seemed to hear something very interesting, and showed a cheerful and innocent smile: "If you don't use white magic power, you can't beat a slightly stronger gnat, right? After all, it is a species. "

"I, you!" Lin Xiaolu's heel that had just been lifted hit the ground in an instant.

Just as the daily bickering between the two was turning into meaningless quarrels, the sound from the entrance interrupted their conversation.

boom!
The crisp sound of closing the door was like a signal, causing the two of them to turn their eyes towards the entrance together.

If people's ears can respond to sounds, Lin Xiaolu's ears are probably standing up by now.After all, she knew exactly what the sound of closing the door at such a time meant.

"Delphinium, you go back..."

Jumping up from Xia Liang's helpless eyes, Lin Xiaolu trotted to the door, planning to give her a good welcome, but when her eyes touched the scene at the door, she closed her mouth subtly.

Because standing there was not only delphinium alone, but also another figure.

It was a magical girl dressed in purple, who looked a little familiar, but couldn't tell where.If she had to say where she had seen a magical girl with this image, it seemed that it was only in the mobile games she played recently.

But facing a person who met for the first time calling the name of a mobile game character directly, it sounded a bit like a naive child who couldn't distinguish between illusory reality, so Lin Xiaolu wisely chose to shut up.

Delphinium caught this expression of doubt with alienation, and alienation with guard.Therefore, she first glanced at the magical girl, her lips slightly parted, but she hesitated to speak, and finally closed her eyes slightly, and said as if she had made a decision:

"Call Bo Xue, Xiao Jin, and Mo Ke over here. I want to introduce a new member to you."

"……new member?"

Lin Xiaolu sized up the girl in the red dress, and swallowed the words "she looks bigger than all of us".In the end, he just snorted slightly, and left with surprise and doubt.

After a while, all members of the secret base gathered together.

"Let me introduce to you, this is a magical girl who just came to Fangting City recently. She will join our team as a non-resident member and act with us in some battles."

Delphinium spread her hands to the girl beside her, said with a serious face, "Compared to you, she is also a senior, so you can ask her any questions you don't understand."

After saying that, seeing that everyone was silent, she looked around at the girls' reactions, paused, and said again: "Do you have any questions?"

After asking this question, she saw Xia Liang raised her hand first, and nodded to signal her to ask a question.

"I don't understand! What does 'non-resident member' mean?"

After receiving Delphinium's signal, Xia Liang withdrew his hand, looked serious, and asked like a good student: "Does this mean that this senior will not be permanently stationed in Fangting City?"

"No, she will be in Fangting City, but she will not stay at the secret base for a long time, nor will she participate in the usual patrols."

Delphinium also explained seriously: "In general, after she joins our team, she will only come to help during important battles and training, and she will have other tasks at other times."

"Is this senior from the kingdom?"

Bai Jingxuan followed suit and asked, "I don't feel like a magical girl who was originally in Fangting City."

Delphinium chose her words carefully, and responded with a little thought: "This question...forget it, it doesn't count. She is actually more like me. She was originally from Fangting City, but something happened later... ..."

"Mom's friend?"

It seemed that it took Bai Jingxuan a while to understand this concept, and then she nodded obediently: "Then I don't have anything to ask."

— "I have an opinion! I have an opinion as a sower!"

However, Mo Ke spoke at this time: "Although this is the meaning of the inspector, it is my task to replace the magical girl in a city! I never knew that there was such a magical girl in Fangting City. I haven’t sensed it at all! Such a person popped up suddenly, and then declared to join our team or something, I just learned this kind of thing, it’s against the rules!”

"I know it's sudden, but we'll talk about the procedures later."

Delphinium folded her hands a little helplessly: "In short, today I just introduce you to each other, and we will discuss the specific activities later."

"Then let us know her origin, right?"

Lin Xiaolu was the last to speak, but her attitude was the sharpest and most direct: "Even if it was introduced by Delphinium, even if it was a senior, a stranger suddenly joined the team or something..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, but everyone actually understood what she wanted to express.

In fact, Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan's previous questions also implicitly revealed this meaning.

After understanding this point, even Delphinium couldn't keep a straight face, showing a helpless expression of "I knew it would be like this", and glanced at the girl beside her.

The eyes of the two met, as if they had completed some communication that the girls didn't understand. After a while, the strange girl spoke with a little embarrassment:

"Well, because I was originally a magical girl from Fangting City...but I just came back recently, no, should I say returning to work?"

"You were originally in Fangting City?" Xia Liang understood a little bit, "Are you a senior who left Fangting City two years ago?"

"No, it's not..."

"When was that senior? Earlier? Isn't that already retired now?"

Xia Liang tilted her head: "That is to say, you were born in Fangting City just like the junior, but you joined the Magic Kingdom and came back because of a mission recently?"

"I didn't join the Magic Kingdom either."

She was obviously being questioned by a girl who looked younger than herself, but the girl failed to show the slightest airs of an older person: "I have actually retired before..."

"Retire!"

This time, everyone except Delphinium and the goblin exclaimed.

Because everyone, even the goblin, knows that a retired magical girl will lose her power and can no longer transform.The girl's remarks are undoubtedly challenging their common sense and cognition.

"You mean, you retired before, but now you can come back to be a magical girl?"

Even the most sensible Xia Liang was a little dumbfounded for a moment: "How did this happen? Are there any rules and regulations that we haven't learned? Or is it that the magical kingdom also has privileges? No, why do I feel that it sounds a bit familiar……"

——"Don't even guess."

In the end, it was the delphinium who interrupted the girls' quarrel, and said helplessly, "Actually, you all know her. She is my junior, and the code name of the magical girl is Chaoyan."

After saying this, the commotion in the living room ended immediately.It also completely dispelled the doubts of the girls.

Then, when such a doubt was resolved, a series of more intense doubts erupted.

"Is it Aunt Hong?" Bai Jingxuan's voice was the most direct.

"Ah, it's actually Hong... Elder sister." Xia Liang covered her mouth slightly, still not forgetting to standardize her address.

"It's that strange woman?" Mo Ke said the most bluntly at this time.

The girls and the goblin's shouts were mixed together, and everyone expressed their surprise, but only one person remained silent.

That is Lin Xiaolu.

It wasn't that she was too surprised, or that she had a foresight to understand the truth, but because her focus had already drifted to a strange direction just now.

She saw Hong Siyu's restrained and emotional smile towards Delphinium, and she also saw Delphinium's helpless but soft eyes responding.

What is the relationship between them?

Compared with Hong Siyu's real identity, this question has firmly occupied her mind since it appeared, and then set off the alarm in Lin Xiaolu's mind.
