After get off work, I become a magical girl

"Well, I'm back."

Lin Yun raised his lips as kindly as possible, pretending to meet Bai Jingxuan for the first time and asked, "I already know the classmate on the left. What about the one on the right? Is he also your friend?"

He ignored Xia Liang's little movements because he didn't want to interpret what this troublesome girl was doing. In other words, he could guess what Xia Liang was secretly shouting.

Bai Jingxuan and Lin Xiaolu were watching from the side, and he needed to keep his identity secret in front of these two people. It would definitely be safest to act like a serious elder.

As for Bai Jingxuan's identity as a magical girl, he had no intention of pointing it out. Even from "Lin Yun's" perspective alone, he had every reason to guess this, but it was reasonable for him to continue playing dumb.

"...Stop asking in such a roundabout way."

However, Lin Xiaolu could not understand Lin Yun's thoughts. She wiped her hands with a rag, looked up at her father, and responded bluntly: "This child is the same as Xia Liang. He was also my companion when I was a magical girl."

In her opinion, since she was bringing outsiders to her home to celebrate the festival today, it would be best to make their identities and situations clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, although her father did meet Bai Jingxuan for the first time, the people present today - Xia Liang and Hong Si were all related to magical girls, so there was no reason for him not to guess Bai Jingxuan's identity.

Anyway, she had long given up hiding the fact that she was a magical girl from her father, so she just said whatever she wanted to say without any mental burden.

"My name is Bai Jingxuan." Bai Jingxuan beside her also quickly followed and reported her own name.

"...Oh, so this child is also a magical girl. She's so young, that's amazing."

Lin Xiaolu's abruptness only surprised Lin Yun for a moment, and he immediately thought of a response. He looked enlightened and acted like an ordinary person who didn't know anything. "Hello, hello, Lulu, thank you for taking care of me."

"No way! In fact, it's Sister Xiaolu who takes care of me..."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, the elder was amiable and kind, the younger was reserved but polite, and it looked like a harmonious scene. Outsiders would have no idea what was going on.

As for those who knew the inside story, both Xia Liang and Hong Siyu had subtle expressions, looking like they were smiling but not smiling, which made Lin Xiaolu look at them strangely.

The two people here were repeating useless formalities, and the people next to them were thinking about other things. Among the people present, only one goblin was left whose mind was still on the stove in the kitchen.

When Mo Ke ignored Lin Yun and Bai Jingxuan's boring politeness and turned his attention to the wok beside him, he immediately blew his beard and glared at them, shouting loudly: "You guys! The wok is burnt!"

Everyone present then realized that the smell of burning had spread throughout the kitchen. The girls who had put down their work earlier were stunned to see smoke coming out of the wok, and they hurriedly gathered around.

However, the incident happened suddenly and the action was hasty, so they were not prepared. They just went to the stove without any preparation, which caused a series of more troubles.

——"Woooooa! It's breathing fire!"

"The shovel... the shovel... the shovel is hot!"

"I, I'll go get some water!"

Bai Jingxuan picked up an empty bowl and tried to reach the sink, but she was too small and didn't pay attention to her feet. She had just taken two steps to the side when she was tripped by Lin Xiaolu's feet and lost her balance.

Seeing the bowl in her hand slip out of her hand and she was about to fall, Lin Yun was quick to reach out and grab the collar behind her neck, and then caught the bowl flying into the air. This prevented a kitchen tragedy from happening.

"I'm sorry..." Bai Jingxuan, who was picked up by Lin Yun, looked at the ground in a daze. After a while, she looked up, looked at the bowl in his hand, and spoke hesitantly.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're okay."

Lin Yun loosened Bai Jingxuan's collar and stuffed the bowl back into her hands: "Don't worry, be careful."

He didn't let Bai Jingxuan go back to cook, because looking at the chaotic scene, he knew it was time for him to take over the dinner. Since he was already back home, there was no reason for him to let a group of young people busy around in the kitchen. This would neither be respectable as an adult nor safe.

"But what's wrong with you?"

Before he walked up to the stove, he glanced back at Hong Siyu: "Before, you let the children cook, but now you are just standing by and watching? Is this how you usually take care of people?"

"you ask me?"

Hong Siyu blinked twice innocently: "You are wrongly accusing me, it's not that I don't want to, but it's a long story..."

"Long story short." Lin Yun interrupted her.

Hong Siyu grinned and pointed his thumb at himself: "I am banned from the kitchen."

Lin Yun remained silent, but couldn't help but give her a blank look.

One of the two adults present could hardly be relied upon, so he was too lazy to say anything more to Hong Siyu. He stepped forward to take over the girls' work and picked up the kitchen utensils himself.

"Okay, I'll cook, you guys go play."

He said this, freeing the girls from the kitchen.

He had cooked a lot himself when he was in the secret base before. Although he had been on business trips for many days, he was familiar with the stove this time. Unlike Delphinium's height of 138cm, the familiar altitude also made his movements much easier.

However, he still took some care and tried to make some differences in seasoning and cooking time from the "Delphinium technique".

After all, if the taste of the two is too similar, it will inevitably arouse Lin Xiaolu's suspicion.

In addition, the girls had already prepared some dishes before he came back, so he didn't need to spend much effort. The remaining task was just to cook the rest of the ingredients into finished products.

Just like that, after a short busy time, the festive dinner was completed. The Full Moon Festival, which was originally planned to be spent by only two people, became much more lively with the participation of several others.

Lin Yun had previously considered whether he should invite the rest of the Magic Girls Team to his home to celebrate the holiday. After all, if it was just him and Lin Xiaolu celebrating the holiday, the atmosphere would inevitably become a little dull and awkward.

The easing of the relationship with his daughter did not mean that he and Lin Xiaolu had more common topics. In fact, without the identity of a magical girl, he still did not have much to share with his daughter.

Talking about hobbies? He and his daughter don't have any common hobbies, and it's hard for him to say what his personal hobbies are.

Talking about study? It was fine to speak as a father, but asking about Lin Xiaolu's grades in a father's tone would probably only make the conversation more awkward.

In addition, the girls of Fangting City's team had undoubtedly become pretty good friends after spending several months together, and it didn't seem like a good idea to forcibly separate them on a day like this.

If Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan were called over together, it would undoubtedly alleviate the above problems and let the younger generations communicate among themselves.

The only problem was how he was going to ask for it - if he asked for it as Lin Yun, his motives would be unclear; and if he asked for it as Cuiqiao, it would be too abrupt.

What he didn't expect was that before he could make a decision, Hong Siyu had already brought all the team members to his home, leading to the current scene.

From this perspective, he also had to thank Hong Siyu. Although the other party might have just acted on impulse, he undoubtedly helped him solve a not-so-small problem.

In addition, from a safety perspective, it is undoubtedly the best option for the Fangting City team to gather at home.

The unknown phone call he received in the evening was like a thorn, piercing Lin Yun's heart.

The other party asked him to "be careful", but did not give any answer as to what he should be careful about.

Is it a trap like the night when Lin Xiaolu was in danger? Or will a very powerful beast attack Fangting City next?

Amidst this happy atmosphere, Lin Yun still felt a little worried.

Therefore, after dinner lasted for a while, Lin Yun found an excuse and returned to his room first, and took out the magic mirror used to communicate with the Investigation Institute. He submitted the results of his investigation in Bai'an City in recent days and the matter of the unknown phone calls to the Investigation Institute.

After doing all this, he returned to the restaurant to have dinner with others.

After thinking calmly, he came to the conclusion that the most important thing he should do now is to stay vigilant, guarding against enemies that may appear at any time, while keeping an eye on the new magical girls at home.

No matter what the possible enemies want to do, as long as they make sure these children are under their noses, there will be no problem.

Time passed slowly as Lin Yun felt a little tense.

No one else present seemed to notice that there was anything wrong with Lin Yun, only Xia Liang seemed to feel that Lin Yun's mood was a little different from usual.

So she gave Lin Yun a stealthy look and sent a message to Cuique's cell phone, asking if anything had happened.

Lin Yun did not reply to her.

He simply used Delphinium's account to log into the Fangting City team's group, and while expressing holiday greetings to the other magical girls, he reminded them to be careful when he was away, as the Donghua Province might not be peaceful recently.

In this regard, the girls seemed to be focusing on the fact that Delphinium did not come back for the holiday. They did not pay much attention to the phrase "be careful" which had nothing to do with magical girls.

This forced Lin Yun to secretly send a few more messages to the group, repeatedly emphasizing the point that "there might be danger" before he attracted the girls' attention.

Just like that, dinner time was over, and after the girls ran to the living room to watch TV together, Hong Siyu took the initiative to leave.

"It's a rare holiday, so I'd better go home early and catch up on some sleep. I'm really exhausted from the recruitment exam a few days ago." This is what she said.

Lin Yun did not try to persuade her to stay any longer and walked Hong Si to the door, watching her take off her shoe covers and put on her coat.

"I'm really sorry to ask you to go to the secret base to take care of them these days."

After walking out of the entrance, he carefully said, "Thank you very much for taking the initiative to bring those children here today."

"Just for this kind of thing?"

Hong Siyu put on her bag and looked at him with a smile: "Then there's no need to thank me. After all, we have such a good relationship, right?"

"I don't remember having any strange relationship with you." Lin Yun denied calmly.

"Strange relationship? How come, is the relationship between senior and junior weird?"

Hong Si and his eyes widened: "What I wanted to say just now was 'It is natural for seniors and juniors of magical girls to help each other', but what are you talking about, senior? I don't understand at all."

"……Yeah."

"Such a bland reaction is nothing. I've seized the opportunity to turn the tables, can you at least give me some feedback?"

"No, you are right."

Lin Yun walked along the corridor with her: "It is natural to help each other. I apologize."

"Ah, here we go again, suddenly being so prudish at a time like this! Obviously..."

Hong Siyu started yelling with some dissatisfaction, but suddenly paused halfway through his words.

Her gaze suddenly passed over Lin Yun's shoulder and looked behind him. She pursed her lips inexplicably as if she saw something.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yun looked back in the direction of her gaze, but could only see an empty corridor and a black garbage bag placed next to a public trash can.

"Um... no, nothing."

Hong Siyu's eyes were a little straight, but after a moment, they returned to their original state and laughed loudly: "I just wanted to sneeze suddenly, but I held it back."

"…Don't act so scary about something like this."

Lin Yun drooped his eyelids and said, "And is it necessary to hold it back? It's not something embarrassing."

"It's very embarrassing for women and it really damages their image."

Hong Siyu shook her finger and said, "Senior, you have to be careful. If you always make such remarks to women of the right age, you won't be able to find a stepmother for Xiaolu."

"I'm old now, and I don't need this ability anymore."

Lin Yun said indifferently: "I don't have this idea. Lulu doesn't seem to like it either. It's fine like this now."

"Are you still single like this?" Hong Siyu tilted her head.

"What else?" Lin Yun asked puzzledly.

"No, I mean... ah, never mind, this is fine."

Hong Siyu breathed a sigh of relief after a brief pause: "That's it, it's not bad to be single forever, after all, I've been single forever too."
