After get off work, I become a magical girl

"Ok, I know."

"But I don't want to really become a beast. I don't want to eat people, I don't want to hurt others, and I don't want to hurt those children. I think if it really comes to that, it would be better for you to kill me..."

Hong Siyu cried loudly like a little child. When her tears were almost gone and her voice became hoarse, she paused, gradually lowered her voice, and whispered:

"Senior, I like you."

"Ok, I know."

"It's not the kind of liking you have for friends, it's the kind of liking you have for the opposite sex."

"Yeah, I know that too."

"Well, you know, I've actually been secretly in love with you since I was in the second year of junior high school."

"……sorry."

"But, I'm thirty-five now. I'm no longer the young and beautiful girl I was back then. I've aged like this and turned into such a disgusting monster. You won't like me anymore anyway, right?"

With a slight twitch of her nose, Hong Siyu forced a somewhat ugly smile: "I can only muster up the courage to confess in this atmosphere, and it's just such a disturbing confession. Just pretend you didn't hear it and don't reply."

"...Hong Siyu."

"what happened?"

"You don't have to be Anya anymore. You're not her," Delphinium said softly.

Hong Siyu was stunned and looked at Cuiqiao's face and was silent for a while.

"You can actually feel it." She closed her eyes feebly. "I thought you were really as dull as a log."

"Hong Siyu."

"what happened again?"

"Thank you for helping me think things through." Cuiqiao gently released the hand that she was holding on Hong Siyu.

"What happened? Did you realize you could start a new relationship?"

"no."

"That's right. After all, an old woman like me..."

"Not really." Cuiqiao's somewhat erratic voice interrupted Hong Siyu's words.

This made Hong Siyu seem to realize something, and she opened her eyes again. She looked at Kuroko seriously, carefully observing every detail of her body, and felt that something seemed to have changed about this magical girl who should have been familiar to her.

"senior……"

She panted slightly, her voice trembling a little: "What did you do?"

Delphinium didn't explain anything, but just silently put away the scissors and stood up from the ground.

Then, Hong Siyu saw the scene behind Cuique.

Countless blue magic threads extended from behind the Delphinium, and each thread was connected to the remnant beast on the ceiling. The fluorescent blue threads were interwoven into a huge network. The surging magic power shuttled back and forth on the threads, forming a sea of ​​​​light, and like a pair of wings, spreading out from the girl's back.

The tips of this pair of wings connected those originally human remains, and unexpectedly made the originally restless remains calm and peaceful again, as if they had fallen into a beautiful dream and were sleeping in silence.

It is even difficult for Hong Siyu to describe this brilliant and magnificent scene in words.

But she began to feel an inexplicable sadness.

Because she knew that this was not what Delphinium should do now.

"Don't be so nervous. I haven't used that trick yet."

As if seeing through Hong Siyu's thoughts, Kuija said calmly: "I just simply let it go."

"I used to wishful thinking, even arrogantly thinking that I was a hero who saved everything. The heroes in the story books, after saving the world, can retire and live a stable and happy life with their loved ones."

"But the real world is not a storybook, and I am not a hero. I am just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to have power, and happened to save some people during the battle."

"I am a negligent husband and a negligent father. I failed to protect my lover and wife. If this continues, I will not be able to protect my daughter. If it really comes to that, everything I have done will be meaningless."

"Well, at least, while I can still fight, I can be a competent magical girl, right?"

She looked at Hong Siyu with a dazzling smile on her face: "Magical girls should bring hope, miracles, and salvation. As long as magical girls come, darkness, despair, and pain should be dispelled and eliminated."

"Let me be that kind of being. As long as I can still fight, I will make all the evil within my sight have nowhere to hide, and I will bring hope to all of you."

"So, I'm sorry, although I don't hate you, I can't let go of the past. I have chosen the future, and I may be destined to not be the one for you."

Hong Si and Zhidao, Delphinium made a certain choice.

It is not simply an emotional choice for oneself, but a more important choice that has far-reaching impact. Once this choice is made, it is like a machine that starts up, and its operation can no longer be reversed or stopped.

“Don’t do that.”

She spoke weakly, wanting to stand up to dissuade him, but then she realized that she didn't have enough strength. She was too weak to even stand up.

"Have a good sleep and rest."

The delphinium spoke to her softly, and then the silk threads behind it surged, creating gusts of air in the autumn night, just like a kingfisher flapping its wings.

In the ruins of the shattered Yi Ce Bureau, the only remaining steel frame was like a huge cage, but the cage had lost its lock. The green bird in the cage spread its wings, looked up at the sky, and sang, wanting to fly away again.

——"When you wake up, it will be daybreak."

Chapter 139 Under the Light Column

2023-05-04

In the center of Fangting City, under the purple-black light curtain, the battle between the magical girls has been going on for a long time and has entered a white-hot stage.

A huge, cocoon-like flesh mass was suspended in the light curtain. A gigantic beast head poked out from the top of the flesh mass, continuously spewing purple-black magic breath toward the surrounding ground.

This magic is so corrosive that it will corrupt the surface of a building if it touches it. The blocks in the city center have become a mess, and there is no trace of their former prosperity.

The only thing to be thankful for was that on the night of the Full Moon Festival, there were not too many people gathered in the commercial district in the city center, and the very few people who did choose to flee after sensing something was wrong, so not many people were affected at the scene.

In the sky above the scorched earth city block, light blue, purple, and light green magic were entangled with the crippled beast.

"Xiao Lu, this beast is completely different from your previous opponents. It is an enemy you have never encountered before. Its evolutionary level should have reached the pupa stage!"

Lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, Mo Ke raised his voice against the wind pressure and said:

"The pupa stage is different from the ordinary crippled beasts we usually encounter. There is a structure called a pupa shell on their body surface. If the magic output cannot exceed its upper limit, it will never be possible to cause harm to it!"

"You also know about the knowledge of the crippled beasts?" Lin Xiaolu narrowly escaped from a purple-black magical power, but there was no sign of nervousness on her face.

"Now you're questioning this?" Mo Ke raised his voice.

"No, how should I put it? I just feel... a little surprised?"

"Now is not the time to be talking about these things! If you keep going on like this, you won't be able to hurt it even if you use up all your magic power!"

"Okay, I know, I know!"

While flying in the air at high speed, Lin Xiaolu responded loudly: "Anyway, we should just blow up its shell, right? Just like that annoying old man we met in the welfare home before!"

"This guy is much stronger than that brutal thug!" Mo Ke corrected.

"Never mind. We are totally different now than before! We have carefully considered the relevant plans!"

Lin Xiaolu raised her hand and gestured to Xia Liang: "Xia Liang!"

"I know!"

As Lin Xiaolu shouted and Xia Liang responded, several mirrors flashed with light, rotating and moving to surround the remaining beast in the center. Magic powers of different colors gathered on the mirrors from the hands of the three magical girls, and after a brief circulation, they were aimed at the head of the remaining beast.

"Bai Jingxuan!"

"Ok!"

The magical girl with a green ponytail opened her arms, and the small box that she had been holding in her hands suddenly opened. Light and lively music sounded, making the already powerful flow of magic power transmitted to the mirror suddenly become more surging.

This is Bai Jingxuan’s magic costume, its name is Tianyin.

Its ability is to play different music through the resonance manipulation of magic, and depending on the differences in elements such as the rhythm, melody and timbre of the music, it will have different effects on the surrounding things.

Because the time of awakening and development is still short, Bai Jingxuan has only developed two uses for it: activating limbs and activating magic power.

The former can accelerate the body's self-healing ability, and can also consume a certain amount of energy to improve a person's athletic ability; the latter, just like what she is doing now, using the most unpretentious way to drive the magic suit to play music, can activate magic power and make it more active and restless.

It is also because of this that she can make the magic power originally gathered in the mirror of Xia Liang's magic suit become more turbulent.

A week ago, under the joint guidance of Hong Siyu and Xia Liang, Bai Jingxuan completed the bud-level blossoming of her abilities and obtained her own magic outfit.

At that time, she had not figured out the capabilities of her magic suit, nor had she mastered how to use it, so she kept it to herself and put the matter aside without telling Delphinium.

According to her original idea, she actually wanted to wait for Delphinium to come back and then tell this matter in person, giving Delphinium a surprise and letting her praise her.

Everyone else also guessed Bai Jingxuan's little thoughts, so they deliberately did not expose her, and coincidentally did not mention this matter to Cuique.

However, no one expected that the power of this magic suit would be used on the battlefield before Delphinium returned.

A surging beam of magic power was stimulated from the surface of Xia Liang's magic armor. The light blue, hibiscus purple, and light green magic powers gathered together and bombarded the remaining beast in the distance.

The torrent of magic power arrived in an instant, concentrated at one point, and exploded at the head of the remnant beast. At first, there was a kind of skin-like structure on the surface of the remnant beast's body that was wrinkled and blocked the impact of the magic power. But soon, this structure was broken under the combined attack of the three people, and then suddenly split into a huge gap.

The three-colored magic beams passed through the gap in its skin and hit the beast's head solidly.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

A deafening cry rang out in the sky above the city center. The beast twisted its body in its flesh cocoon in pain, and let out a cry of unknown meaning. Then, it increased the frequency of its attacks and once again spewed out corrosive magic breath at the magical girls.

The three new magical girls, or the three new generation magical girls, had already been prepared. They had dodged the moment the crippled beast exhaled, and the crippled beast's attack had no effect.

"Success!"

Seeing that the effect of this attack achieved or even exceeded his imagination, Xia Liang couldn't help but clench his fist and cheered softly.

"The Pupa Stage is just like this!"

Lin Xiaolu retreated to her side, with a smug look on her face: "As long as we can break through the defense the first time, we will definitely be able to break through it the second time. There will be no problem in wearing this big guy out!"

"It has nothing to do with you, right?"

Mo Ke, who was lying on her shoulder, couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on her: "It's obviously the magic suits of the other two that are working, why is there a person who is so arrogant here?"

"Huh? A fairy who can't even keep up with the flying speed and can only lie on others has the right to criticize me?"

Lin Xiaolu glared at it unhappily: "The progress of ability development can't explain everything, right? My magic power has not stopped growing in the past few months, and now it is definitely much stronger than the average species!"
