After get off work, I become a magical girl

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and a bearded man walked in. After seeing Lin Yun talking on the phone, he pointed at his mouth and then at the door in an exaggerated manner, using body language to express his meaning: Do you want me to get out?

Lin Yun immediately shook his head and said to the phone: "That's it, we'll talk about the rest next time."

Then, completely ignoring Hong Si and the objections from the other side, he pressed the hang-up button.

When the call ended, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sure, that's fine."

A stack of documents was thrown on the table in front of him. The unshaven man walked up to him with a strange smile on his face: "I heard the woman's voice. Are you finally planning to start a new relationship?"

Lin Yun pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at him helplessly: "Which ear of yours heard that I was flirting with someone?"

"left."

The man opposite said nonchalantly: "Come on, sign for me anyway."

This person's name is Liu Guanshan. He is the director of the foreign affairs dispatch department and a colleague in the company who often deals with Lin Yun.

The two people knew each other when they were still clerks. After working together for so many years, their relationship is still pretty good, and they are the kind of friends who can occasionally have a drink together.

So he was relatively free to talk, and could even bring up topics like widowhood, and Lin Yun wouldn't argue with him.

Taking out a gel pen from the pen holder beside him, Lin Yun took the document and explained, "Let's not say that I don't have this mood, and I don't dare to have this idea now. The child at home and I are already in a bad mood. If I really tell her that I want to find her a stepmother, she will make a big fuss with me."

Of course, these were just polite words. The real reason was that he didn't want to find one, but it was too sad to say it, and he didn't want to leave such an impression on others in the workplace.

"Still making trouble? Give him some more pocket money to comfort him."

Liu Guanshan didn't care and sat down on the corner of his desk: "My children are all like this. If they make trouble, just give them some benefits and they will be fine."

"It's not like I haven't told you before, it's not about pocket money at all."

Lin Yun signed with his hand and continued, "If I had known what she was thinking before, it wouldn't have come to this."

"Want one?" Liu Guanshan, who was sitting at the table, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket.

"Let's talk after we sign."

"Hengyun said they're going to wrap up work tonight and invite us to dinner. Do you want to go?"

"No, I'm going home to be with the kids."

"Oh, so family-oriented?"

"Just think of me as a family man."

As Lin Yun said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He did go to accompany his daughter in the evening, but unfortunately not as a father.

It was an irreversible fact that his daughter had become a magical girl. Now that things had developed to this point, no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, he could only act based on this.

And right now, the first priority in a series of actions is undoubtedly teaching.

——He has to be a good senior to the magical girl and instruct his daughter on how to train at night.

Chapter 11 Magical Girl's First Lesson

2023-04-30

"Today is the first time, let's start with some common sense that magical girls need."

In the dusk, standing on the top floor of a silent office building, Cuiqiao crossed her arms and said to Lin Xiaolu in front of her: "The first thing I want to tell you is how to judge the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent and yourself. Don't fight a battle you have no chance of winning."

"Okay, please give me your advice!"

Lin Xiaolu responded enthusiastically.

In order to avoid the evening rush hour and keep the appointment on time, Lin Yun found a corner away from the crowd after get off work, turned into a magical girl, and left the company by flying high.

The magical girl's dress was very prominent in the urban environment. In order not to attract attention, he chose the office building not far from home as the meeting place, so that Lin Xiaolu could come here after school. In addition, the top floor of the building was usually blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

Now, what she is going to do is to give Lin Xiaolu the first lesson of magical girl guidance.

"I haven't told you before that the remnant beasts have corresponding levels according to their evolutionary level, starting from the most basic 'egg', to the more advanced 'worm', and then there are multiple life stages such as 'pupa' and 'molt'. Each evolution will become step-by-step stronger than the previous stage, and accordingly, it will become more dangerous."

"It sounds like a bug..." Lin Xiaolu on the opposite side first subconsciously felt a little disgusted, and then became thoughtful.

"Just treat them like bugs."

Delphinium added expressionlessly: "They will not have any empathy when they kill you or even eat you, so when you kill them, you should crush them like pests and do not have any sympathy."

She raised her hand and stretched out five fingers: "And, correspondingly, we magical girls also have five stages of ability development. To be more precise, this behavior is called 'blossoming', which means that it takes five stages to cultivate one's heart seed from seed to flower."

"In the beginning, you were a seed, just like you are now."

Delphinium spread out her hands and pointed her finger at Lin Xiaolu's chest: "This is the initial stage of your mind and ability. The round gem looks similar to a seed. It means that you have just become a magical girl and you are still in the process of understanding everything."

Lin Xiaolu seemed to understand something: "So that's why you could tell I was a novice before?"

"No, it's simply because you are too weak."

Obviously, the answer from Delphinium was more heartbreaking: "The Kaihua stage will not be reflected on the heart gem on the chest. No matter what level of Kaihua the ability is, the transformation on weekdays will only be a round gem."

She raised her head and pointed to her chest. There was a circle of classical lace collar below the neck strap, and a small round gem was hung below it. However, the soft shawl was hung on the shoulders of this dress, so the gem was half-hidden, so it had not been noticed before.

Lin Xiaolu, who had just been depressed by a sentence, looked over and perked up in an instant: "Ah... this dress is really cute."

"You're focusing on the wrong thing, idiot."

Delphinium sighed. "Anyway, I can't show you what the other stages are like right now. If I release magic power in the center of the city, the noise will be too eye-catching. You should memorize their names as if they were a textbook."

"The new dream and the true source fall asleep, the dormant 'seed'."

"The beginning of the true nature and the construction, the 'bud' of development."

"The branches and leaves of myth and ritual."

"The union of the true self and the wonderland, the 'bud' of life."

"The awakening of the super-body and the blooming 'flower'."

Lin Xiaolu listened to the long speech of Delphinium, which was like reciting a poem, with her eyes wide open: "Um, new... um, seeds? And what was it then?"

——"To remember them simply, they are seeds, buds, leaves, buds, and flowers. The rest are descriptions of the abilities at that stage. You will know when you reach that stage!"

It was Mo Ke who suddenly spoke up, the cat-shaped fairy who had always been following Lin Xiaolu: "My advice is not to aim too high, just remember that your next stage is the bud."

Kuizi glanced at Moko, and did not comment on his sudden interruption, but continued speaking:

"This stage is just like its name. It means that your heart seed is taking shape and your own magic source is beginning to form. You can start using magic to fight. You should understand what this feels like."

Lin Xiaolu thought: "As for feeling... I don't understand it either, but as long as I want to use magic to do something, I will do it subconsciously."

"If you want to go faster, you will subconsciously use magic to speed up. If you want to attack farther, you will radiate the magic. If you want to fly into the sky, you can use magic to support yourself."

Delphinium gave her a few examples: "As long as the thought comes, the body will move on its own, right? This is the source of magic at work."

"The source of magic power forms a bridge between the body and the spirit, generating magic power both inside and outside, and allowing magic power to flow in both directions, giving the connection between the body and the spirit the attributes of magic power."

"To put it simply, once you have a source of magic power, using it becomes an instinct."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu raised her hand and asked, "Do the remnant beasts also have a source of magic power?"

"Yes, since it is called the Magic Source, it is the source of all magic. The power of magic is born from the Magic Source, and the remnant beast is no exception. In fact, the echo we recovered is the remains of the remnant beast's Magic Source."

Delphinium stretched out her hand and pointed to her heart gem: "As for the magical girl, the source of magic power is in the heart gem. This is something that must not be touched by others."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Let's talk about the next stage of blooming, which is the 'bud'. The characteristics of the bud are called..."

Between the buildings, the girl's voice drifted into the night sky with the wind.

Two magical girls, one big and one small, asked and answered questions here, and time passed slowly.

Lin Yun said a lot, and Lin Xiaolu also listened a lot, and felt that the outline of the magical world had never been so clear.

Although there were still many things she didn't quite understand and couldn't remember completely, the world of magical girls described by Delphinium made her feel once again that becoming a magical girl was the right decision.

Her feelings towards the identity of a magical girl are no longer just a vague longing for a children's animation character, but also carry with her aspiration for a brand new world.

With such a longing in mind, at the end of the day's class, when both sides said goodbye, she took out her mobile phone.

"Um... Delphinium, do you have a cell phone from this world? In other words..."

She spoke a little awkwardly, but enthusiastically suggested: "Can we exchange numbers?"

Mobile phone numbers mean contact in daily life. If such a connection is established, two people will inevitably communicate more in daily life.

Delphinium knew that if she were just Delphinium, she would have no reason to refuse this proposal.

It is very necessary for magical girl companions to exchange information, whether it is reporting the location of a disabled beast or exchanging progress when investigating an incident, frequent communication is required.

In the magic kingdom, magical girls often use magic mirrors to communicate with each other, but now neither Kuei-chih nor Lin Xiaolu have magic mirrors, so mobile phones are the best choice.

So, she just thought about it for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, I do, but I don't have it with me now. Give me the number and I'll contact you when I get back."

She couldn't give her number to Lin Xiaolu right now because that was Lin Yun's number. No matter how strained the relationship between Lin Yun, the father, and his daughter was, they had known each other their contact numbers.

In order to contact Lin Xiaolu in real life as Cuiqiao, she must apply for a new number and even buy a new mobile phone.

The expenses behind this are not that big for Lin Yun, just consider it as the price he has to pay for accompanying his daughter.

Thinking this, she wrote down the number Lin Xiaolu gave as if she heard it for the first time.

But since I can establish a new connection with my daughter, I hope to at least know more about her inner world, understand her a little better, and bridge the gap between us a little bit.

She closed her eyes and hoped so in her heart.

Lin Xiaolu also has hope.

She wanted to understand Delphinium, wanted to know what she was like in her daily life, wanted to see what her life was like, and wanted to get closer to this ideal magical girl.

Then, I will definitely be able to change myself who I hate, right?

However, neither of the two people under the night sky probably expected that the numbers they exchanged would be used the next day.

It's not because of the crippled beast, but it's a much rarer thing.

When Lin Yun, who was sitting in the office, found that his newly bought mobile phone was dialed and the contact displayed on the phone was "Lin Xiaolu", he had to take out the flower of his heart immediately and turned into the appearance of a delphinium.

She sat back in her office chair and pressed the call button. Immediately, a deafening shout came from the other side:

"Inspector! We've found it!"
