After get off work, I become a magical girl

Then let her choose for herself, Delphinium thought to herself.

"Magical girl?"

This word seemed to connect something, causing Xia Liang to slightly widen her eyes. The series of strange things that happened before made her have some associations: "I know, but could it be that..."

"My name is Delphinium."

Cuiqiao nodded expressionlessly, then stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Xiaolu who was standing beside her: "She is Baimei."

"We destroy the remaining beasts and protect the safety of the city and its residents. That is the magical girl of this city, Fangting City."

Chapter 15 Choice

2023-04-30

Xia Liang often wondered if her daily life was really what she wanted.

I spent my days in school in a daze, laughing and joking with those "friends" who had a bad reputation in school, and checked in at the so-called "Internet celebrity resorts" after school. Then, I went home alone and praised my life on social software as if my life was quite fulfilling.

Is she happy? Probably.

She learned how to put on makeup, how to dress, how to be fashionable, made friends, and became the focus of boys' attention. Shouldn't she be happy?

However, she often felt that the smile on her face did not belong to her. The more she smiled at others and the more cynical she became, the more difficult it was to fill the emptiness in her heart.

I want to fill that void, so I crave attention and recognition.

She actually knew that her "friends" didn't like her.

They would feel that they lose their colour when standing next to me, and that I have snatched away the attention that they deserve. More importantly, I and they cannot be considered “our own people”.

The reason is very simple, Xia Liang is unwilling to participate in "working".

No matter how they boasted or encouraged her, Xia Liang was still unwilling to go. She felt that true friends should not be like that.

But this persistence was eroded over time.

If I accept to work, will my friends be more accepting of me?

If I accept to work, can I seek a closer relationship?

After this idea came into being, Xia Liang's attitude became less resolute.

So today, after school, after receiving another invitation from a "friend", she finally figured everything out.

So be it.

She agreed.

I followed my "friends" to the electronics district and headed to what they called the "meeting place".

Giving up her meaningless persistence and reserve, giving up those unnecessary bottom lines and fantasies, she can pursue a more practical and real love.

She felt ready and determined.

—But she saw a cat.

A pink cat flying in the air.

Then there was a petite-looking girl with a ponytail, wearing the same school uniform as him, sneaking behind him and his group.

What is this doing?

Xia Liang was born with a strong curiosity that made it impossible for her not to pay attention to what was behind her.

More importantly, when she saw the pink cat, she always felt like she was being called and wanted to get closer.

At that moment, a voice appeared in her heart, telling her that she should go and find the pink cat, and she could get something very important to her.

So she stopped in the middle of the street.

She was walking in the middle of the team, so when she stopped, the girl walking with her immediately noticed that she was acting a little differently than usual, and asked her in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Liang looked at her, not knowing for a moment whether he should say it out loud. He said that he saw a flying pink cat and wanted to go over there to take a look.

She noticed that the girl walking in front, who was usually the center of their small circle, also turned around and looked at her with a somewhat puzzled look.

"I……"

She spoke hesitantly, but slowly made up her mind in the process: "I suddenly have something to do, so I may have to leave today."

Then he smiled, showed a slightly apologetic expression, waved his hand, and said to the others: "Have fun!"

After saying that, he was about to trot away.

"Xiaoliang."

The girl in front called her at this time.

She held the phone, her fingers with long manicures tapping quickly on the screen, and her eyes did not look at Xia Liang at all: "If you leave today, don't come over here again in the future."

Xia Liang paused.

She turned around and looked at the girl, then slowly turned her head to the side to look at her "friends".

Perhaps she hoped that at this time everyone would laugh, scold, ignore her and let her leave with the same frivolous attitude as always.

Only this time, everyone looked at her in a slightly strange way.

No, that was not a strange look. She knew it. She was very familiar with it. She used to see it every day in her home. She would not make a mistake.

——This kind of look is called indifference.

Maybe I really can't integrate with them.

It was not until this moment that Xia Liang realized this reality.

No matter how hard I try to smile or how I flatter them, I can never be the same kind of person as them. I can never be their companion from the beginning.

The mysterious call from afar was still strong, as if calling her to go quickly.

No matter how hard she tried to cover up and ignore the cracks on weekdays, they now formed a deep ravine, separating her from the girls in front of her.

Xia Liang finally put away the smile that was always on his face, looked at his "friends" seriously, and nodded:

"it is good."

Without any extra words, he turned around again, without looking back, and left quickly.

What she didn't expect was that this sentence would bring her to the rooftop of a high-rise building ten minutes later.

Kneeling on the ground, his heart pounding, he had to listen to the imaginary remarks made by the girl named "Delphinium" in front of him.

"Magical girl?"

She had heard of it, she knew what a magical girl was.

Magical girl is a profession that often appears in children's animations. They often represent love and justice and fight against all kinds of evil people.

At the same time, the magical girl is also the guardian of this world, fighting against the cruel beasts that appear from time to time in the city. She is a real warrior.

Perhaps, magical girls are also a dream of thousands of girls in their youth. Even if they know they need to face dangerous battles, they still yearn to see themselves shining in gorgeous clothes.

But for the general public, magical girls are too distant and mysterious.

Under normal circumstances, if Xia Liang heard someone tell her that she was a magical girl, she would probably think that person was a liar, or regard the remark as a joke, laugh it off and change the subject.

But it’s different now. I was just grabbed by the girl in front of me and experienced the feeling of flying.

Whether it was the other party's abrupt change of clothes, the ability to ascend out of thin air, or the abnormal flashing particles when the two of them moved, all of them told Xia Liang: he had encountered the real deal.

"So, what does the magical girl want me to do?"

She had never even been on a plane in her life before, and her first flying experience in her life was being grabbed by someone and taken to the sky. It was such a huge shock to her heart that she was a little dazed now.

So she could only ask questions according to the other party's logic and had no reason to refute.

Then, she heard a sentence that made her even more dazed:

"You, do you want to be a magical girl?"

Be a magical girl?

Can I be a magical girl?

Xia Liang had never thought about this question.

She was just an ordinary girl who was never cared for and never really received attention. She never felt that she could be so special.

Even when she spent her days and nights relying on fantasy and prayer, she never thought that she could become a magical girl.

The word was so radiant that she felt it would burn her if she got close to it.

"I have to make it clear to you in advance that being a magical girl is not as wonderful as the public imagines."

Delphinium looked at her and warned her seriously: "It will be dangerous, tiring, and boring. The only benefit is that compared to ordinary people who can only sit and wait for death when encountering a crippled beast, you will have the power to fight against danger."

"...Will the clothes be as cute as yours?" Xia Liang suddenly asked.

Unlike her somewhat frivolous questions, no one noticed the gleam in her eyes.

This question also caught Delphinium off guard, but she quickly reacted and nodded in response, "The magical girl's clothes are as you imagined."

"Can I show off to others that I'm a magical girl?" Xia Liang continued to ask.

"No, unless it's an emergency."

"Even though it may be dangerous, I will at least act with you guys, right?"

"Until you grow up, I will be responsible for your safety." Delphinium nodded and promised.

"Then there is..."

——"Ah, really, I finally found someone with talent, why is it such a frivolous girl!"

Not far away, Lin Xiaolu, whose clothes had changed into a light blue dress and whose hair had turned into golden twin-tailed hair, interrupted Xia Liang's question with an indignant look on her face: "I don't want to be a companion with such a person at all!"

"Don't be willful, Bai Mei."

Delphinium glanced at her and said, "This child might have great talent and will be an effective helper."

"But……"

Lin Xiaolu choked when she heard this, and looked at Kuizi with some grievance: "She looks so frivolous that she doesn't look like a magical girl at all——"
