Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?

The setting sun painted the sky orange-red. The school bell for Fifth Magic High School had just rung, and students from all grades began to flock to the school gate.

Following behind Lin Luo, Hong Lian glanced down at the message on her phone and then used telepathy to say, "The address is in the old industrial area in the north of the city, behind an abandoned textile factory warehouse."

"In that case, you go ahead first, I'll be there shortly."

Honglian paused for a moment, then turned and walked away quickly without asking why.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Luo saw Hong Lian's figure on a secluded street in the old industrial area.

She wore white headphones, her hands tucked into her school uniform pockets, and leaned quietly against a withered old locust tree. The evening breeze gently blew her black hair. This scene gave Lin Luo the feeling of watching an anime CG; the image was simply too beautiful to describe.

"You're here?"

Seeing Lin Luo slowly walking over, Hong Lian took off her headphones and led him into the depths of the industrial zone.

The old industrial area in the north of the city is a product of the urbanization process in the last century. Now it is deserted and dilapidated.

The dilapidated factory buildings, exposed to wind, sun, and rain, were riddled with holes.

The red brick walls were covered with withered vines, and the rampant weeds almost filled the sidewalks on both sides.

Honglian led Lin Luo through several alleys filled with abandoned machinery, finally stopping in front of a textile factory warehouse that was about to collapse.

The warehouse had been abandoned for a long time. The rusty iron door hung crookedly on the door frame, and the red bricks on the walls had weathered and peeled off, revealing the gray-black cement inside.

"Is this the place?"

Lin Luo looked around and was surprised to find that the headquarters base chosen by Sakura and Red Lotus was so remote.

But it's better to be cautious.

Honglian didn't respond, but instead raised her right hand and began to channel the magic power within her body.

The ground in front seemed to resonate with the magic of the red lotus, and a circle of pale silver magic patterns slowly emerged and quickly intertwined, eventually forming a circular light curtain entrance with ripples on the surface.

"It looks like it's underground?"

"Yes, this is the entrance to the underground space." Honglian stood up, dusting off her hands. "Sakura used the power of a magical girl to create a space underground. The entrance to our base can only be opened by those who know its exact location and method."

Lin Luo raised an eyebrow. "Sakura is quite capable."

"Sakura said that as long as her imagination is vivid enough, she can unleash many incredible magic spells." Guren's tone carried a hint of envy. "Magical girls are truly an incredible existence."

After speaking, Honglian stepped into the silver light curtain first, followed closely by Lin Luo.

After a brief period of weightlessness, Lin Luo witnessed a breathtaking sight.

What comes into view is a very spacious underground space, which, judging by its size, is about half the size of a football field. The height of the space is also quite impressive, at least ten meters.

Lin Luo looked up and saw no rocks or soil, only a dome emitting a faint light, which illuminated the space perfectly.

This underground space has been divided into several areas.

In the very center is a spacious circular hall with a floor paved with smooth, light gray stone slabs.

To the left of the lobby is a row of neat rooms, each with a label carefully affixed to its door, such as meeting room, archives room, equipment room, and lounge.

Although the doors to these rooms are still closed, it's already clear what role they will play in the future.

"How do you feel?" Honglian asked curiously when she saw Lin Luo carefully looking around.

"The cherry blossoms are amazing. The air here is so fresh, and there's no dampness or musty smell. The temperature is just right, neither too hot nor too cold, it's very comfortable."

"If it weren't for my younger sister, I would have moved here right away," Lin Luo said, not holding back his praise.

Lin Luo really didn't expect that Sakura could achieve this much in just one afternoon; she must be exhausted.

"Remember to tell Sakura to balance work and rest."

"Um."

To be fair, the magical girl's power was not wasted in Sakura's hands.

The more Lin Luo looked at the base, the more he liked it.

"Sakura also said she'd work with me to perfect these water and electricity systems," Honglian said, hands on her hips, confidently adding, "Money is no problem! Lin Luo, you can rest assured and leave these to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Lin Luo's gaze shifted to Hong Lian: "You and Sakura will be fully responsible for matters at the base. I'll just sit back and relax."

Lin Luo pulled up a chair and sat down.

Although the base is still deserted, he believes that it won't be long before it becomes lively.

"Although Sakura is young, she is a very thoughtful girl." Guren sat down next to her and then looked puzzled. "But I have a question. When Sakura was a little girl, her speech and thinking were obviously immature."

"But why did Sakura's thinking and maturity suddenly increase so much after she became a magical girl? It's like she matured all of a sudden."

Lin Luo thought for a moment and decided to first give Hong Lian a brief introduction to the situation of magical girls.

In fact, a magical girl's physical form is fixed after her first transformation, and her mind and thinking are also synchronized to the level of an adult.

Moreover, after transforming into a magical girl, not only will her hair, eyes, and clothes change, but her appearance will also become different from before.

Honglian silently kept Lin Luo's words in mind. Although she was not a magical girl yet, it didn't mean she wouldn't be in the future!

The leader has already promised her a bright future, and that promise will surely come true one day!

"By the way, where's Sakura? I haven't seen her anywhere." Lin Luo suddenly realized that this great contributor to the construction of the base wasn't here.

"Sakura went home first." Honglian pointed to the chat history on her phone screen, pursed her lips, and said, "She said that if she goes home too late, her parents will worry. Her home is in the same neighborhood where the monster disaster happened today, and her parents are ordinary workers... She doesn't want them to worry."

"Oh, that's good too."

Who would have thought that the girl who was trapped under a concrete slab at noon, with a leg injury and on the verge of bleeding to death, would suddenly become a powerful magical girl and build such a huge underground base?

Sometimes, the changes in fate can come so suddenly that you can't expect them.

"Please tell her she did a good job." Lin Luo slowly stood up, glanced at the time, and said, "It's getting late. I should go back too."

Honglian paused for a moment, then realized, "Oh right, your sister is still waiting for you at home."

When the two returned to the ground, the sun had completely set, and night had enveloped the abandoned industrial area.

A few bright stars appeared in the half-dark sky, and the city lights in the distance began to light up one by one.

Crimson Lotus closed the entrance to the space, and the silver patterns on the ground gradually dimmed and disappeared until nothing seemed amiss.

"Shall I take you to the bus stop?" Honglian asked.

"No need," Lin Luo shook his head. "I'll go back myself."

Lin Luo picked up his schoolbag, turned around, and walked out of the industrial zone.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at Honglian: "You and Sakura can discuss the base's affairs. I'll be in charge of recruiting people. I have to do something."

Honglian stood in the twilight, her long black hair blowing in the night wind. She looked at Lin Luo and nodded with a smile: "Understood, Chief."

"Well then, see you tomorrow." After saying that, Lin Luo took out the Mind Gem directly from his pocket.

Then, under the stunned gaze of Guren, she transformed into the magical girl Tangli.

"I'll go first."

"Eh?" Honglian wanted to say something more, but the other party had already shot into the sky with a stream of azure light.

Standing there for a long time, Honglian gradually came to her senses.

"No wonder cherry blossoms are called 'Little Boss'... They really are small and cute."

"Speaking of which, is he actually 1.4 meters tall?"

……

The Shiroyama City Magicians Association branch is located in the most bustling area of ​​the city center.

As a 30-story skyscraper covered entirely in dark blue glass curtain walls, the Mage Guild branch building can be considered one of the iconic buildings of Shiroyama City.

Especially the huge Mage Guild emblem embedded on the top of the building, which can be seen shining brightly even from a great distance.

In the VIP conference room on the seventeenth floor, more than a dozen people were sitting around a dark brown solid wood conference table.

At the head of the conference table sat a beautiful, mature woman dressed in a white magician's robe, holding a lit cigarette in her hand and smoking it slowly.

As the head of the Shiroyama City Mage Association branch, Li Xuelan has been working here for nearly five years, making her a qualified veteran.

Smelling the lingering smell of smoke in the air, a young woman who looked to be around twenty years old, sitting next to Li Xuelan, frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Minister Li, when are you going to quit smoking? Don't you really want to be transferred to headquarters for further training?"

"Headquarters?" Li Xuelan exhaled a puff of smoke and said disdainfully, "What's so great about going to a place like that? Su Yinyue, you've come all this way, why don't you just stay here with me?"

"You..." Su Yinyue's face stiffened, too lazy to say anything more.

Everyone in the conference room was silently observing Su Yinyue. This woman had a very delicate face, and her long black hair was tied into a simple high ponytail, with a strange crimson color clearly visible at the ends.

However, compared to her beauty, everyone present was more focused on Su Yinyue's golden mage's robe.

The golden robes of a magician are not something just anyone can wear; they generally represent an extremely noble status.

More importantly, the golden mage's robe was also adorned with star emblems, indicating that she was not only of noble status but also served as an investigator for the Mage's Guild headquarters.

Perhaps sensing the gazes of the crowd, Su Yinyue's calm and unwavering eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and an invisible pressure immediately spread through their hearts.

Li Xuelan coughed, stubbed out her cigarette, and said in a deep voice, "Captains, let me introduce you. This is Su Yinyue, the Investigator, who was specially dispatched from headquarters. She will be taking over all work related to magical girls from now on."
