Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 36 Before the parent meeting
Fangting Xizhao Middle School, on the third floor of the main teaching building, Lin Xiaolu stared blankly at the hung up call. After a pause for a few seconds, she lowered her arms and put down her phone.She looked at the window in the corridor, and there was continuous drizzle outside the window. Even in this endless rainy day, she felt a little depressed.

Perhaps it should not be said to be low, she felt lost.

Delphinium said "no" to her, presumably it was out of good intentions.She didn't want Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang to be in danger, and she didn't want them to miss the important parent meeting. Who wouldn't understand the meaning of care?
However, even if delphinium has no other intentions, this passage can be interpreted in another way. The so-called "don't come" is actually "it's useless for you to come".

There is no contempt or belittling in this, it is just a statement of a fact: in Delphinium's eyes, the two newcomers are fragile and need protection, and they are completely unusable combat power.

Facing the remnant beasts of the scorpion level, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, who were only species-level, could not play any role.Even though they have studied and practiced for nearly a month, they will probably only become a burden when facing gnats.

In name, Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu, and Xia Liang are magical girl "companions", but in fact, the two newcomers can't keep up with her pace at all, and can't walk by her side.

Fangting City is now in crisis, and Delphinium can only fight alone.

So, is it really good to just follow the steps like this?

Lin Xiaolu thought so.

Being protected, cared for, and taught by such a senior, she will indeed feel at ease.Maybe it's really like now, if you push all the dangerous things to delphinium, and improve your strength step by step according to her plan, you can naturally become a skilled magical girl, right?

There is no risk, no obstacles, all it takes is time, effort and talent.

This growth path sounds so reasonable, safe, and rational.As every good teacher will do, he will do his best to arrange the safest path for the younger generation.

But since I can understand it, where does this sense of loss in my heart come from?

She couldn't figure it out.

"Are you okay? Xiaolu."

Mo Ke, who was lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, saw that she was depressed, and asked worriedly.

Lin Xiaolu just shook her head.

The time for parent-teacher meetings is approaching, and most classes have already finished today's lessons.The students walked out of the classroom and walked along the corridor to the outside of the teaching building, preparing to welcome the arrival of their parents.

Therefore, the number of people in the corridor gradually increased, and the flow of people passing by became more and more dense. Lin Xiaolu could not talk to Mo Ke at this time.

She put her phone back into her pocket, patted her cheeks with both hands to remind herself to recover, and returned her attention to the upcoming parent-teacher meeting, then turned and walked towards the classroom.

It was raining harder and harder outside, and she had to go back to get an umbrella.

Passing through the almost empty classroom, Lin Xiaolu took out her schoolbag from her desk, took out her umbrella, and when she walked out of the classroom again, she happened to see a familiar figure:

It is summer cool.

"Little cool!"

Mo Ke, who was still worried about Lin Xiaolu before, betrayed the camp on the spot, jumped off her shoulders, and threw herself into Xia Liang's arms before she could react, leaving Lin Xiaolu watching unhappily. With the interaction of a man and a demon.

But this is a school, full of ordinary people who can't see fairies, if there is too much interaction with Moco, it is inevitable that other students will be regarded as weirdos dancing in the air.So Xia Liang also knew how to measure, and just touched Moke before letting go, so as not to make his behavior look weird.

"How about it?"

After putting down Mo Ke, she smiled and looked at Lin Xiaolu: "Is your father coming soon?"

"How would I know that person's movements?"

Lin Xiaolu looked displeased: "Maybe I won't come."

"Then you still have the umbrella?"

"...Anyway, I have nothing else to do, go to the school gate to have a look."

"Pfft." Xia Liang snickered while covering her mouth.

"You are so annoying!"

Lin Xiaolu said angrily, "Go back to your class if you have nothing else to do!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this."

After comforting Lin Xiaolu like coaxing a child, Xia Liang restrained her expression slightly: "I just want to ask, the message you sent just now, the beast that appeared on the tram..."

"The delphinium is gone."

Lin Xiaolu's eyes flickered slightly, and she replied curtly, "Alone."

"...Really, it's like this again." Xia Liang blinked in a daze, and soon understood what she meant.

Compared with Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang is more sensitive to the world.So she realized and understood what Delphinium was doing earlier and more clearly.

She knew what Delphinium was going alone for.

After the two were silent for a while, Xia Liang regained her mood and comforted Lin Xiaolu with a smile, "But this is something that can't be helped. Since it's all like this, then let's face the parent meeting properly."

"……Um."

Lin Xiaolu nodded with complicated eyes: "I know, just worrying is useless."

After exchanging pleasantries like this, Xia Liang waved goodbye to Lin Xiaolu, and walked towards the other end of the teaching building, while Lin Xiaolu continued to go to the school gate with her umbrella.

The parent meeting was approaching, and a dark crowd had already gathered at the school gate. The students met their parents here, and then led them to their class.

Lin Xiaolu held up her umbrella, dodged the puddles on the ground, and came to the gate in three steps.

Standing on tiptoe, she looked left and right, trying to find Lin Yun's figure in the crowd, but the huge crowd was full of people, and it was hard to see clearly given her size.

After a lot of useless work, she also realized that this had little effect, so she dropped her heels and stood up again, planning to change a method: find a place where the flow of people is not so dense, and stand there and wait.

After all, with her height, it was somewhat difficult to find someone in the crowd, but with Lin Yun's physique, it was not difficult to find her daughter across the barrier.

What she should do is to make herself more attractive.

Holding her umbrella, Lin Xiaolu found an empty corner beside the flower bed at the school gate. After confirming that she could see it from the gate, she stood there and began to wait quietly.

The flow of people at the school gate is getting denser, more classes are dismissed from school, some students are waiting in the teaching building, but more still come to the school gate to greet them - after all, this parent meeting will also announce the report card of the final exam , when you don't know if you failed the exam, it's always right to behave well first.

Lin Xiaolu didn't care about her report card. She didn't like studying before, and after becoming a magical girl, she only regarded studying as a hard task.Although he knew that his grades would definitely not be very good, but asking her to please Lin Yun for this kind of thing is tantamount to fantasy.

She came to the school gate simply to take a look.
