Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 61 Old Photos

Lin Xiaolu pinched the frame of the phone, unconsciously exerting force with her fingers.

She could see that the magical girl in the cherry pink tutu skirt in the photo was smiling with the others, and with some inexplicable feelings, she hugged the shy blue-haired magical girl beside her. .

The two people who shouldn't have any intersection in cognition stand so intimately in this photo, making Lin Xiaolu subconsciously open and close her lips, but she can't speak at all.

is that so?She wanted to ask one more question.

But if there were any doubts in her heart before, they were indeed dissipated the moment she saw this scene.

Yeah, that's how it should be.

The many unusual things about my mother when she was alive; why her father kept secret when she died; and why the mysterious magical girl delphinium took special care of me... All the reasons fall on the answer of "mother is a magical girl" .

It was like finding the original key for an insoluble lock, and it opened with just a slight twist.

In the past, she never felt that her mother would have any connection with the identity of "Magic Girl".In her memory, her mother was a strange housewife who always liked to insist that she was a freelancer.

She has an optimistic personality and can even be said to be off-line. She usually does things lazy and sloppy, sometimes naive than herself.But she is a good mother who really loves and spoils herself.

She can recall cuddling in her mother's arms and watching magical girl anime on TV; she hasn't forgotten the smile on her face when she told her "I want to be a magical girl when I grow up".

Lin Xiaolu suddenly thought of many, many things. The mother who slept with her when she was a child but left halfway; Mom at the wrong time.

"I see."

The sight of both eyes has been blurred by tears at some point, the tears overflowed from the eye sockets, flowed down the cheeks, and landed on the phone screen bit by bit.

Her throat tightened, her voice choked, she just felt that she was already a magical girl who saved others, and she shouldn't be so weak now, but no matter what, she couldn't stop her sobbing.

"It turned out to be like this."

It turns out that the real magical girl has always been by her side, and she has been a child favored by magical girls from the very beginning.

It's just that he didn't know all this until two years after losing her.

Lin Xiaolu only shed tears at first, but soon covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

She thought that in the past two years since her mother passed away, she had already cried enough and shed enough tears.I figured it out, became numb, and would no longer cry so unbearably about her affairs.

But for no reason, when she discovered that there was another "magic girl" connection between herself and her mother, she suddenly found that she still had a lot to say to her mother.

Becoming a magical girl is not as easy as imagined.

Remnant beasts are disgusting, disgusting, and scary.

The practice of magic is very hard and boring.

The Magic Kingdom seems to be a very complicated place.

Senior Delphinium is a very good person.

We have partners who fight together.

Maybe I have already begun to understand my father.

And... I didn't expect that after two years, I still miss her so much.

Numerous thoughts are mixed with grief, locked in the small compartment, even though the car is speeding all the way, there are thoughts that hold on to it, and it is impossible to leave it behind.

Lin Xiaolu was crying sadly, Xia Liang at the side didn't know how to persuade her, Lin Yun in the front seat was silent, didn't say anything.

At least in his opinion, it is a good thing to be able to cry at this time.

If you keep the sadness and tears in your heart all the time, and bury your thoughts and regrets in your heart forever, then after a long time, you will not even be able to confirm whether that feeling still exists.

The crying in the car lasted for a long time, until Lin Xiaolu gradually stopped and began to sob softly, Xia Liang patted her on the back, and continued to ask Lin Yun:
"Uncle, but, if what you said is true, there seems to be a problem with this photo."

She looked at Delphinium and Anya in the photo, and asked with some puzzlement: "If Xiaolu's mother and Delphinium were magical girls at the same time, then she should have retired long ago, right?"

As far as she and Lin Xiaolu knew, Delphinium was a resident of the magical kingdom.

After all, Delphinium has never said which city she was born in, and has always emphasized that she is much older than them, and she has been proved by others as a "big man". She really does not look like a magical girl in the material world.

Regarding delphinium's emphasis on being an adult, the two girls have always been skeptical, but now that they see this photo, the remaining doubts no longer exist.

"She didn't retire."

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu's mood had stabilized a lot, Lin Yun sighed inwardly, and then said expressionlessly: "Because Lulu's mother is special, she is a lifelong magical girl, and she is different from others."

This new concept made both Lin Xiaolu, who was weeping at the corners of her eyes, and Xia Liang, who was comforting her, feel confused.

—— "Lifetime? Xiaolu's mother is Lifetime?"

Unlike the two dazed girls, it was Mo Ke who reacted the most in the car.

This is not surprising, because among the people present, except for Lin Yun, only it knows the meaning of this word.

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had no idea about this, it immediately explained: "Magic girl for life means that she is allowed to stay in the material world forever because of her special achievements or deeds. It is a very powerful proof. !"

"Mom, is she... very good as a magical girl?"

Lin Xiaolu whispered while choking, repeating what Mo Ke said, and seemed to realize something, raised her head in a daze: "Then, in that case, how did mother die?"

While asking questions, while reminiscing, she suddenly remembered another important point, staring straight at the driver's seat in front of her, as if she could see her father through the back of the seat:
"Is it because of this reason that you told me to 'forget about her'?"

This question goes straight to the core of the problem.After the grief and longing were released, she finally realized that her mother's death was not simple.

Lin Yun didn't speak.

His silence does not mean rejection, but out of thinking.

He glanced at the rearview mirror, and looked at Lin Xiaolu with red eyes in the mirror.Their eyes met, and he could see that although there was sadness in his daughter's eyes, they were still clear.

So he spoke.

"...Becoming a magical girl these days, you should have heard about how magical girls determine their strength?"

Lin Yun withdrew his gaze and stared blankly at the driveway outside the front windshield: "White card, name card, flower card. Although I don't know the specific meaning, she once had a title before she was alive."

There was a slight pause in his speech, but there was no murmur in the back seat.

Both Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang and Mo Ke were attracted by his words, held their breath and waited quietly for the second half of his words.

Maybe I should light a cigarette at this time to brighten the atmosphere.

Lin Yun came up with this idea for no reason, but he has no habit of smoking, so he can only breathe a long sigh of relief, as if what he vomited was his own sorrow:

"It is said that in the second half of her magical girl career, other magical girls agreed that she was the 'strongest flower card'."
