Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 7 Shadows of the Park
Holding the magic wand tightly, the magical girl with golden twin ponytails soared high in the sky, looking at the wetland forest under the night.

It is clear that the park is green and moving in the daytime, full of natural beauty, but in the darkness at this time, it looks like a predator's huge mouth, waiting for the prey to walk into it.

This faint dangerous breath made her back feel chilly, and she couldn't help frowning.

"Xiaolu, I have a bad feeling right now."

A solemn voice rang in his ears.

The one who said this was a strange animal that looked like a kitten. It was pink and furry all over, with a pair of small wings growing on its back. It reminded people of fairies in fairy tales.

The goblin flew to the back of the girl from the side, with a worried expression on his face: "Although it is very weak, the residual magic power around me makes my hair explode. This time the enemy may be very dangerous."

"...Yes, I can feel it."

The magical girl, or Lin Xiaolu tried her best to put away the timid complex in her heart, and stared straight at the woods in the park below: "Although I can't say it clearly, I also feel very dangerous."

However, that being said, the movements of her hands did not stop.Waving the magic wand in her hand, and then slowly landed on the grass in the park, Lin Xiaolu simply checked the surrounding enemy situation to ensure the safety of the situation.

There was nothing to gain from this operation, but the faint uneasiness still lingered in her heart.

"Moco, can you still feel the enemy's position?"

She asked the pink goblin for help.

The goblin called "Moco" closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then opened them suddenly: "No way, the enemy was clearly in this park before landing, but now I can't feel its specific location." .”

Lin Xiaolu was stunned: "Has this happened before?"

"Not at all."

Mo Ke looked helpless: "I should have told you before, as a goblin, it is my first time to come to the material world, and many things are not clear."

"Moco... You are so useless."

"If you say something that hurts a fairy like that, I'll be angry!"

The magical girl and the goblin walked slowly on the grass in the Wetland Park, while paying attention to the clues around them.But until nearly 10 minutes passed, they had already approached the central area of ​​the park, but they still didn't find anything.

Mo Ke, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but said again: "Xiao Lu, should we retreat first?"

The magical girl wondered, "Why?"

Mo Ke explained: "I always feel that the Remnant Beast this time is not a simple enemy. Since the two of us may not be opponents, it will be safer to go back to the adults of the Different Strategy Bureau to learn more about the situation and seek help."

"Ah? But asking adults for help, isn't this kind of behavior a bit inconsistent with the identity of a magical girl?"

"Now is not the time to be willful in such a strange place!"

"Well... I see."

The lingering chill behind her made Lin Xiaolu stop insisting, and quickly followed the goblin's suggestion: "Let's leave when we get to the center of the park and we haven't found it yet."

Mo Ke nodded again and again in agreement: "Move faster!"

They made an appointment here, as long as they walked to the center of the park and did not meet the enemy, they would go straight home.

After stepping across the grass, Lin Xiaolu saw the outlines of the pavilions and waterside pavilions in the center of the park in a short time. Seeing that she had arrived at her destination, Lin Xiaolu cheered up and strode forward.

"Still haven't seen the beast yet."

The girl blinked and turned her head to the side of her head: "Moke, can you feel anything now?"

What comes into view is a void.

The goblin who was supposed to be flying beside her all the time had disappeared before she knew it.

"...Moco?"

Only the lonely voice of the magical girl was locked in the park.

Realizing that things were beginning to develop in a direction beyond her control, Lin Xiaolu finally became nervous and began to look around for her partner.

"Moco?"

The closed forest became the best sound isolator, isolating her voice from the outside world.

Just like that, after walking two steps with some eagerness, Lin Xiaolu suddenly heard a rustling sound from the bushes beside her.

The heart rate increased sharply, and the magical girl immediately cast her eyes in that direction, and after a burst of panic, she took a stance to fight, and shouted a little bit harshly:
"Who? Come out!"

The response was a rather weak voice: "Quick..."

"what?"

"Run away! Xiaolu!"

This time, the magical girl heard clearly.

And as she heard the sound not far away, a vague pink shadow also flew over from a distance, and then bumped into her arms.

Appeared at this time, officially just disappeared suddenly, her partner, Mo Ke.

However, compared with the undamaged appearance seen a few minutes ago, Mo Ke at this time is covered with wounds, even one of the wings on the back is missing, and there are deep wounds across his body, bursts of pink glow Particles floated out of the wound unstoppably, looking very distressed.

At this time, Mo Ke didn't care about his injury, but wanted to shout: "Go, this time the beast..."

——"Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Like the roar of a wild beast, it came from the shadows among the trees not far away.

Without giving Mo Ke any time to continue, a terrifying monster came out of the darkness, its sharp claws pierced deeply into the soil under its feet, and without making any footsteps, it floated in front of Lin Xiaolu.

"Gulululululu, roaring..."

There is no doubt that this is a beast.

Because it is impossible for any animal in the park to have a body of more than 4 meters, let alone have two heads.

An unknown liquid remained on the black-purple fur, and there was only a brutal desire to slaughter in the green eyes. A strange tubular structure protruded from its body, and it was connected to its two drooling giant heads from all parts of its body. superior.

Just standing there can make people feel terrified.

For Lin Xiaolu, who is a magical girl, this should be impossible.

After all, magical girls have no reason to be afraid of remnant beasts.

She obtained this power just to fight the beasts and protect others from harm. Why should she be afraid of the enemies that should be eliminated?

Lin Xiaolu didn't understand, but she couldn't control the negative thoughts in her heart.

Will I lose?

As soon as this idea appeared, it was interrupted by an external voice:

——"Xiao Lu!"

The partner's voice rang in her ears again: "Hurry up!"

It was Mo Ke, and Mo Ke was calling her to run away.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the action she should take the most—to survive.

Raising the wand in her hand, the air around the girl kept stirring, and then, with a whistling sound, she rushed into the sky.She entered this park by flying from the sky, so of course, it would be safer to escape by the air route.

Lin Xiaolu thought about it, but found that the beast on the ground didn't show any signs, even if she chose to fly away, it just stood there quietly, watching everything with its green eyes.

Are there any pitfalls?

Before Lin Xiaolu could think about it, she realized that her upward flight stopped.

Instead, there was a strong squeeze from behind.

The injured goblin at the side asked her with difficulty: "What's wrong? Xiaolu?"

Apparently, he was puzzled by his partner's sudden stop and escape.

After realizing that her face was also confused and flustered, it couldn't help raising its paws to touch the top of her head, only to feel a sense of repulsion, and then the paws were flicked away.

"Magic barrier..."

This time, even the goblin had a look of despair on his face: "It's over, this was a trap from the beginning!"

In an instant, the moods of the magical girl and the fairy fell to freezing point.

However, unlike the goblins, Lin Xiaolu actually still has some sense of fighting, so she has been staring at the remnant beast in the lower part of her vision.

What made her feel the most chilling was not that her escape was blocked, but the expression on the ferocious face of the beast below when she stopped.

Can a disabled beast make such a humane expression?

She was thinking like this, but suddenly felt that her vision stopped, her eyes blurred, and wherever her eyes went, the enemy had disappeared.

"—Xiaolu!"

And the next moment, amidst the goblin's mournful cry, she got the answer.

The sharp claws of the beast had already reached her throat.

The last thing that caught her eyes was the cruel and mocking smile that should not appear on the face of the beast in theory.
