After get off work, I become a magical girl

Chapter 141 Questioning

2023-05-06

Moss was obviously not surprised by the arrival of Delphinium, as evidenced by the bright smile on her face.

She could also see that Delphinium's condition was different now, but even when faced with the magic threads all over the sky and the magical light that seemed to be real, her expression did not change at all.

She even started clapping for no apparent reason.

"After a long wait, our main character has finally arrived."

Moss said frivolously, "But it seems that you like the 'gifts' I left for you so much that you wasted a lot of time on them. I didn't expect you would like the little gadgets I made so much."

"You call them... call those people 'gifts'?"

Delphinium looked at Moss calmly, with no trace of joy or sadness on her face: "This is really a joke that makes people not laugh at all."

"This is not a joke."

Moss shook her head. "Don't you realize that I've shown you a new possibility through them? That's something that has never existed before. It combines the taming of humans and the magic of the remaining beasts. It can be said to be the most suitable mass-produced high-quality ingredients. Aren't you moved?"

"All I can see is a bunch of sad lives that you have toyed with and desecrated."

Cuiqiao's fingers moved slightly, but she still didn't show any emotion. She looked at Moss indifferently: "Now tell me, what did you do to Hongsi and... No, what did you do to those ordinary people in the Yi Ce Bureau?"

"What did I do? Can't you see?"

Moss opened her eyes wide as if in shock: "The suture of the remnant beasts and humans, the superposition of life characteristics, isn't this an obvious thing?"

"Simply sewing animal remains onto a human body will not create such a blasphemous being."

Delphinium stared at Moss. "You directly embedded the magic power source of the remnant beasts into the human body, and completely changed their physical and soul structure with the most violent method. This is not the superposition of life, you are creating a degraded remnant beast."

"It's just because mortals are too weak."

Moss smiled faintly: "What I gave them is the prototype of the beast's organs, but it is a little uncontrollable. If they can possess magic power and soul that surpass the remnant beast, then they can use this power in reverse and not be transformed by the magic power of the remnant beast."

"You know that's impossible."

Delphinium's expression became increasingly cold: "The magic power and soul strength of ordinary humans are not even close to those of the remnant beasts. When you do this, you are killing them in another way."

"Who says it's not?"

Moss remained calm: "But so what? Do you have any feelings for the livestock on the farm?"

"Do you see this little guy behind me? If you want to feed it, even if you kill all the wild animals in Fangting City and even the entire southern part of Donghua Province, and add those useless magical girls, it will not be enough."

"If we want to truly provide it with sufficient nutrition, we need to use artificial magic power sources to produce that kind of 'meat pigs'. Only that kind of 'meat pigs' can satisfy the little fellow's feeding needs."

"It took me two full years. If it weren't for this great technological innovation, even if I had plundered all the magic resources available in this state, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this result. Isn't such a great technology worthy of our admiration?"

As soon as she finished her words, several blue magic threads suddenly cut through her side and headed for her neck, but were stopped by Moss's left hand wrapped in magic.

"Are you in a hurry?" Moss asked slowly.

"Because I don't want to waste my time listening to your nonsense here."

Kuei-chih's fingers twirled the magic thread: "Why did you turn Hong Siyu into that? If it was to find food for the remaining beasts as you said, why did you torture her like that for two years?"

"Torture? Did you say Miss Red?"

Moss was a little surprised and asked, "You actually think that's torture?"

Brush! Clang!

Delphinium's magic thread once again cut towards Moss's vitals, but was blocked again.

"I told you, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Delphinium stared at her coldly.

"Then you are wrong to blame me, because for me, this is actually a very meaningful experiment."

Moss shook her head and continued to answer with a smile: "I have always been curious about the difference between retired magical girls and ordinary people. If they lose their magic source, can they regain their power if they regain it again?"

"Miss Hong is a very valuable experimental material for me. She helped me figure out this matter."

"I copied the magic power source of the remnant beast into a structure similar to the Heart Gem, and stuffed it into the empty space left by Miss Hong's original magic power source. I wanted to see if she could rely on the magic power of the remnant beast to become a magical girl - just like those bastards in Claw Mark."

"But the facts prove that the retired magical girl no longer possesses the characteristics of a magical girl. She did not die directly after being forcibly embedded with the remnant beast's magic source like an ordinary magical girl; instead, she integrated the magic source very well and became a real remnant beast."

Moss said this, spreading her palms flat, and said proudly: "The experimental results show that retired magical girls are indeed just ordinary people. Apart from being able to retain some self-awareness, they are no different from other pigs."

"From this point of view, I should also thank Miss Hong. Her existence helped me solve the confusion I have been having. You magical girls are indeed wonderful 'treasures'."

clang!

The threads of magic power condensed into a sword-like masterpiece. Delphinium controlled the magic suit and fought with Moss. Purple-black and azure magic power splashed everywhere. Countless magic bullets collided in the air. They parried each other with movements that ordinary people could not see clearly. For a while, it was difficult to tell who was the better.

"You are a complete scum, Moss."

Delphinium said word by word: "No, I have met more than one person from Black Dawn in this period of time. You are all real scum."

"Please don't use such lowly words as 'scum' to describe us."

Moss sneered: "Being born in this world and becoming an ordinary human being is the greatest sorrow."

"If there weren't scum like you around, then where would the sadness come from?"

Delphinium transformed the magic suit in his hand into a spear and swept it towards Moss, "Thugs and villains are laughing at the suffering of the victims. Stop making me laugh!"

“Do you think the root cause is us?”

Moss parried Delphinium's attack and counterattacked: "Without the Black Dawn, beasts and magical girls still exist in this world, and countless mortals have been slaughtered by wild beasts and affected by the magic of battle. In the face of the power of magic, the weak lives of mortals are meaningless!"

"Magical girls are fighting for people! They are driving out and conquering the beasts to maintain the stability of this world. Why are you putting the blame on magical girls?"

Delphinium used the Masterpiece Shield to block Moss's counterattack, while controlling more silk threads to restrict Moss's actions: "Aren't your daughters also magical girls? Each of them was an ordinary girl before gaining power. They sacrificed their most precious youth and even their lives to protect others! Don't you understand!"

"…Why do other people's daughters sacrifice their youth, but my daughter sacrifices her life?"

Moss's voice suddenly turned cold.

She raised her hand, and the spell in her hand suddenly transformed. Magical creations like circular saws replaced the previous ripples and fiercely cut towards Delphinium: "Why do other people's daughters not have to pay anything, but my daughter has to pay everything for this battle that will never end?"

"I have never understood this question. Can you answer it for me? Cornflower?"

"I have worked in the Strategy Bureau for so many years, from the lowest level employee to the top leader. I moved all the way from a small town in the Western Region to your Donghua Province, and I have seen too many magical girls."

"Too many girls become magical girls with good intentions, but become extremely arrogant and look down on others under the corruption of power and authority. In the end, they still don't have to pay any price."

"But my daughter, my only treasure, carried out this original intention throughout and carried it out to the end."

"She would persuade me to understand those arrogant magical girls; she would persuade me to understand the high and mighty royal court; she would get along well with everyone in our Strategy Bureau; she would save every innocent person who encountered the cruel beasts at all costs."

"And yet, that's how it is. The magical girl that you all take for granted died in the catastrophe nineteen years ago, crushed by the merciless tide of beasts. In the end, all that could be found was the broken heart gem."

"Her death was not uncommon in the Great Beast Disaster. After all, so many magical girls died in that disaster. She sacrificed her life for her ideals. I am sad, but I respect her will."

"but."

Moss paused. She looked at the Delphinium flying and moving nimbly among the countless circular saws, and said coldly, "Your magic kingdom has not remembered her contribution at all."

"There is no honor for a martyr, no posthumous honor for a sacrifice, and even the most basic subsidy for fallen magical girls has not been delivered to me."

"Her sacrifice did not attract the attention of her so-called 'colleagues' in the country."

"I tried to contact the Magical Affairs Institute, but no one was willing to talk to me. I tried to find the Royal Court, but I was not worthy of being received. I found the Investigation Institute, but even though I persuaded the magical girls there and they spoke for me, there was still no follow-up to this matter."

"On the other hand, look at those magical girls who escaped the great beast disaster, did not participate in the battle, and hid in the back. They did not pay anything, but still possessed superhuman powers and had vibrant lives. They enjoyed the support of the ignorant world and became 'heroes' in the eyes of others."

"They didn't give anything, but they could easily step on my head, humiliate and trample on everything I have. Even though I gave everything for the so-called 'protection' and the so-called 'justice'!"

"I am a senior executive of the Strategy Bureau. Even at that time, I had worked for the Bureau for nearly twenty years and devoted endless efforts and time to protecting the city. My daughter is a noble and innocent magical girl. She is so cute and pitiful. She has given everything for the identity of a so-called magical girl."

"The royal court of the magic kingdom is unwilling to even look at people like us."

"This hypocritical, incompetent, corrupt and arrogant country doesn't even have us in its sights!"

The smile on her face completely disappeared, and all that could be seen was endless anger. She shouted at Cornflower, "Tell me, Cornflower, what is the need for a magical girl like this to exist?"

"What is the need for a magical country that deceives young girls into becoming magical girls with dreams and hopes, uses them in an extremely cold and indifferent way, and finally lets them go at will?"

"You think beasts are synonymous with barbarism, destruction, and killing, then what about magical girls and the magical kingdom? Aren't you also synonymous with arrogance, oppression, and indifference?"

"I won't accept this! I can't tolerate such a scoundrel taking credit for my daughter's achievements and insulting her sacrifice. But I don't have the power to seek revenge on the hypocritical royal court or the arrogant magical girl!"

"Only the Lord's gift, only the power of the beast, can allow mortals to transcend themselves, and only then can we fight against the magical girl!"

"You asked me why I couldn't understand the efforts of a magical girl? Now I want to ask you, why can't you understand the suffering of mortals in this world?"

"During the great beast disaster nineteen years ago, didn't you see the magical girls who sacrificed their lives in vain, the innocent mortals who died tragically, and the royal court of that country that acted pretentiously and perfunctorily?"

"How many people in the material world paid the price of their lives to resist this disaster. Even you yourself have made countless sacrifices to save the current Fangting City."

"Didn't you see it? Didn't you doubt it? Didn't you feel resentful?"

"If not, then why did you refuse Queen's appointment at that time?"

"Why would you be the only magical girl in the world who refused the position of the Gem Scepter, gave up the possibility of the Sapphire Scepter, and gave up enjoying the credit for your own achievements?"

Looking at the Delphinium that had already rushed to her, Moss's voice turned from excited to calm, but she still asked very clearly:

"You were given the name of the last gem on the Queen's scepter, but you voluntarily gave it all up, Lord Cornflower?"

Chapter 142 Fierce Battle

2023-05-07

"Gemstone scepter... sapphire... so that's what it is."

Not far from the battlefield, when Xia Liang heard what Moss said, he couldn't help but murmur in a daze.

Just now, while Delphinium and Moss were fighting, she and Lin Xiaolu were not idle, but took the opportunity to rescue Bai Jingxuan who was knocked down.

Bai Jingxuan was seriously injured. Moss did not hold back when dealing with her, so she was knocked unconscious by a magic bullet. Fortunately, her breathing was stable and her condition was not too serious.

"What? Why did you mention the jeweled scepter?"

Lin Xiaolu, who was supporting Bai Jingxuan who was lying on the ground, looked up after hearing Xia Liang's words, with a bewildered look on her face: "Who is Cornflower? Is she also a former teammate of Delphinium and my mother?"

Obviously, she is still completely out of control.

"Cornflower... is the name of the last remaining sapphire on Her Majesty the Queen's scepter."

Before Xia Liang could explain, Mo Ke suddenly spoke up: "There used to be five gems on Her Majesty's scepter, namely ruby, emerald, sapphire, diamond and cat's eye. Later, she gave four of them to the magical girls she chose, and those magical girls became gem scepters. Only one sapphire has not been given away, and it has remained on Her Majesty's scepter."
