After get off work, I become a magical girl

If I hadn't retired and fought with Anya, would things have been different?

He didn't know the answer to this question, and perhaps there would never be an answer. Anya's death was like a flame that burned the fairy-tale story to ashes.

And he could only recall the burnt pages of the book and blame himself endlessly.

He wanted revenge, but he was not without worries. He knew how powerful Anya was, and he could imagine how dangerous the enemies who killed Anya were. If he also met with an accident during the process of revenge, what would his daughter do?

But if you don't seek revenge, that poisonous fire will burn your heart all the time.

Countless times he embraced the illusions of the past in his sleep, countless times he groped his empty pillow after waking up, his anger and sorrow almost turned into an inescapable curse, locking him firmly in the past.

In the end, he could only helplessly tell himself that he was just an ordinary person and he could not and should not think about these things anymore.

Then just concentrate on work and raising your daughter. As an ordinary single father, this may be the most normal choice.

If everything really ended here. If my daughter hadn't stepped into the world of magic.

But when all this happened, the shadow lurking in Fangting City and even in Donghua Prefecture surfaced and even threatened his daughter. Then the so-called "normal" was no longer necessary.

"I don't have any lofty ideals. All I want to do is protect the people around me. But before this, I escaped and failed. I failed to fulfill my promise and failed to follow my wishes."

"Well, this time, I will never allow this to happen again."

"Black Dawn, I have known your deeds, understood your actions, and seen the ugliness you displayed. No matter what you did in Anya's death; no matter what you are still planning in this material world; no matter what kind of hatred you have for the material world. I have only one attitude towards you."

Delphinium raised her head, her pupils filled with magic as bright as the full moon in the night sky:

——"From today on, get out of Fangting City, or I will personally drive you out one by one."

Silver-blue silk threads fell from the night sky, interweaving and overlapping around her. The outline of a huge building gradually took shape from the network of silk threads, covering the entire central block of Fangting City.

The azure castle, shining with pure light, stands tall and majestic, as if it were something out of a fairy tale.

This is the wonderland of delphinium.

It is like the castle that every child has fantasized about, a magnificent castle that only belongs to princesses and princes in fairy tales. However, it is not made of bricks and stones, but a wonder woven together by countless fine magic threads.

The night sky, which was originally dyed with purple-black magic power, was instantly isolated by the huge castle. Whether it was the magical girls, Moss, or even the remaining beasts on the ground, they were all accommodated in the castle.

Not only that, outside the castle, there are endless silk threads extending in all directions and towards the entire Fangting City.

The chaotic streets, the broken houses, and the fleeing people all looked up at the sky, gazing at this miraculous scene. The vicious and violent beasts that had been raging in large numbers also inexplicably became quiet.

It’s not because they are also watching the drizzle in the night sky, but because those silk threads that cross the night sky are targeting them.

Endless blue threads hung from the sky, fixing every crippled beast roaming the city, and then connected them to the castle through the threads.

"saved?"

Someone in the crowd asked this. At first, there was only a tentative cry, but soon, some brave people walked up to the side of the mutilated beasts and reached out to touch those hideous and terrifying remains.

The beasts that were still destroying and killing were now like statues, motionless. Then people realized that the beasts' attack was really over.

"Saved! Saved!"

"Magical girl! This must be a magical girl!"

People began to cheer and cry. The disaster came so suddenly and ended so quickly, like a miracle, leaving the survivors immersed in gratitude for being alive.

This scene was not only happening in the city. In the unnoticed and ruined Strategy Bureau, the "remnant beasts" that were originally hanging from the ceiling and now crawling on the ruins were still sleeping peacefully and quietly.

——"Out of control? No... their magic has become inactive. Why? This shouldn't happen, and there's no reason for it."

In the silver-blue castle, Moss felt the changes in the magic power of these remnant beasts, and felt inexplicably uneasy. He asked the figure wrapped in silk threads not far away: "What did you do?"

Delphinium didn't reply immediately.

It wasn't that she didn't want to deal with Moss - although that was true - but because she felt like her body no longer belonged to her.

Intense, intense pain filled her consciousness, the pain that seemed to tear her soul apart made her clench her teeth, afraid that she would scream out if she opened her teeth a little.

She held the silk thread tightly in her hand, as if to transfer the pain away. She slowly raised her head amidst the waves of severe pain, staring at Moss with wide eyes.

Then, she slightly raised the scissors in her hand that were on the verge of breaking.

This action made Moss feel extremely dangerous.

After transforming into a remnant beast, as a complete metamorphosis, it can not only retain its rationality as a human, but also use the instincts and intuition of a remnant beast.

Ordinary crippled animals have no reason and cannot understand what a survival crisis is, but that does not mean their intuition is not sharp. It is this perception and intuition that makes Moss understand that what Delphinium is going to do next is definitely a very dangerous thing.

"Don't think about it!"

It would not allow the other party to use a move that threatened it, so it shouted loudly and called upon its own rules, trying to act on the magic power around Delphinium to cover it again.

It had done just that before, successfully eliminating Delphinium's magic, taking away her masterpiece, and being able to prevent the other party from taking further action.

It thought the process would be the same this time, but it never expected that its attempt would fail.

The dense silk threads in the castle were not affected at all and still existed there intact.

"impossible!"

Moss was stunned and said, "How could there be magic that cannot be affected by my rules!"

"…Because…this is not magic at all."

Delphinium opened her mouth with difficulty and uttered these words through gritted teeth. Then, without waiting for Moss to take any further action, she resolutely swung the scissors in her hand.

Click.

There was no sound when she swung the scissors, but Moss seemed to hear a sound coming from the void, like the crisp friction sound when the scissors closed.

At that moment, it felt as if it had lost something.

What did it lose? It felt nothing physically, nor did it feel anything abnormal mentally. It had no idea what had happened to it when the scissors were swung down.

But when Moss looked at its body with its compound eyes and began to observe the changes in itself, it was stunned.

The six legs, which were originally sharp limbs, disappeared at some point, and what was left was a pair of human hands.

Those were a pair of extremely small, hairy hands attached to the huge body of a remnant beast, but it was impossible for it not to recognize them because they were its own hands when it was a human being.

"what have you done?"

It asked again, but this time the meaning was completely different, and its words contained a fear that it couldn't stop.

It knew what Delphinium had just cut off with the scissors. It was not its own flesh, nor its soul, nor even its magic power, but the part of itself that was the remnant of the beast.

The scissors do not roughly cut off the limbs, but rather erase the "remnant animal's limbs" from its body.

"Impossible, your magic power has no effect on me, your magic suit has no effect on me..."

It muttered to itself, and began to retreat because of the strong sense of threat: "I can cover your magic power, I can cover your magic power, I can take away the strange scissors, and I will use it to take revenge on you..."

Click.

The crisp friction sound rang out again.

Moss lowered her head almost reflexively following the friction sound, and this time, it was her lower body as a crippled beast that disappeared.

"impossible!"

It howled angrily and in vain, and when it saw that retreating was useless, it changed direction and once again applied its own rules, but this time its target was the scissors in Delphinium's hand.

The scissors in Delphinium's hand are part of the magic suit, and are indeed made of her magic power, so when Moss used the rules to cover Delphinium's scissors, it is possible to take them away.

And it worked.

As the rules came into effect, Delphinium's scissors disappeared in an instant and then appeared in Moss's hands.

"Hahaha, I've found a way to crack it!"

Seeing that it had succeeded, it couldn't help laughing wildly, and then grabbed Delphinium's scissors with its disproportionately funny hands: "I can do it too! Look at me using your magic suit... Ugh! Gu! Ahhhhhhhhh!"

But before she could even finish her words, the moment Moss touched Delphinium's scissors, she let out an extremely miserable wail: "It hurts ah ah ah ah ah——"

Screaming like a ghost, it used all its strength to cut with the scissors in its hand, but found that it had no effect, so it quickly threw the scissors aside. But even if it threw it away, the pain did not ease, and the intense pain made it tremble all over, without even the slightest room for thought.

From beginning to end, Delphinium didn't say a word. She just covered her head and watched expressionlessly as the scissors appeared in Moss's hand. She waited until Moss threw it away and picked it up again.

"You can't use it." she said.

"…Impossible! How could this happen! How could you wield a magic suit like that! Are you completely unaware of the heart-wrenching pain?"

Moss looked up and said angrily, "You knew I would do this, so you tampered with the magic suit, right?"

"I do not need."

Delphinium inserted her fingers into the loop of the blade again and opened the edge of the scissors. "I'm used to it."

"Get used to that kind of pain? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Moss screamed in retort, but when she saw the icy look on Delphinium's face, the words that were about to come out of her mouth stopped.

It realized that the Delphinium might not be lying.

Having overdrawn herself twice, her true self was incomplete, and the price of the Heart Gem's cracked web was far more than just a weakening of her abilities. At this point, whenever Delphinium used her magic outfit to fight, she was almost always in pain in her soul.

Even in this state, Kuznetsova can still remain calm and even think, analyzing the battle situation and defeating the enemy. But because of this, she never shows any expression during the battle and always advocates efficiency.

"Are you a human or a machine..."

Moss asked in a state of collapse: "What kind of monster are you!"

"I'm a magical girl."

Delphinium waved the scissors expressionlessly: "Drive away the monsters and protect everyone."

Click.

As the crisp sound rang out again, this time what disappeared was the head of Moss, the remaining beast.

The old woman's face once again appeared on the body of the crippled beast, but this time her hair was disheveled and she looked terrified: "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Is there a loophole in my rules? What's so strange about your magic suit? Why can you hurt me with it? Why! "

It frantically mobilized its perception, trying to find any inconsistencies in this space, wanting to stop this terrible process, but it could not find any loopholes.

In its desperation, its consciousness even began to split and went to the remaining beasts under its control outside the strange land. It saw the remaining beasts standing still like sculptures in the city; it saw the remaining beasts sleeping peacefully in the ruins of the Strategy Bureau, and it also saw Hong Siyu, who was lying surrounded by the remaining beasts and sleeping soundly.

Then it discovered that all the remaining beasts were the same as itself.

They lost their claws, legs, and heads. Only the remnants of the beasts that were originally stitched together by humans showed their original form, while the real remnants of the beasts were completely turned into corpses.

All the remaining beasts were connected by threads, connected to the threads of magic that emanated from this huge castle and originated from the wonderland.

The wonderland is created by the power of the soul's will in its true form, not by magic, so its rules cannot affect the wonderland.

It was these threads of wonder that connected her to the huge castle, and in disguise connected her with all the remaining beasts, and then they were all affected by some unknown rules.
