After get off work, I become a magical girl

2023-05-11

Bai'an City is a well-known music and tourist city, and there is always a steady stream of tourists coming here all year round. And the Land Cruiser Port is the only transportation hub with the outside world, so naturally there is a lot of traffic.

A landship from Tiandu City arrived and docked five minutes ago. A dense crowd of people poured out of the landship and rushed to the inspection port, fearing that they would be at the end of the line if they were a step late.

Of course, there are also some passengers who are not in a hurry and walk slowly, thinking that there is no point in being in a hurry. One of them is a woman wearing sunglasses. She has nothing in her hands and no luggage on her body. She walks leisurely behind the crowd.

"Hey, look over there, does that girl look familiar?"

In the waiting room, a couple who were chatting accidentally glanced at the group of people walking out of the landship. The woman had bright eyes and pointed to the end of the crowd and spoke.

"Who?" The man belatedly looked in the direction the woman said.

"That girl, the tall one wearing sunglasses!"

The woman patted his hands and said, "Don't you think she looks like that famous singer... the one your friend really likes, the one from Dongyingzhou!"

"Toyosu... He likes it, but I don't. How can I understand what you are saying?"

"Even if you don't like it, you should know it. She's a big star on TV every day. I remember her name was Ma... Mari?"

The woman said as she thought about it, and soon she spoke again anxiously: "Ah, I turned a corner! I can't see it!"

"I've already said I don't know and I can't see it."

The man searched the crowd for a while, but in the end he couldn't see who the woman was talking about. He could only helplessly comfort her: "Okay, okay, if you didn't see it, then you didn't see it. Anyway, it won't be better looking than you."

The woman, who was originally a little disappointed, immediately perked up: "Oh, I like what you said, can you say a few more words?"

The young couple immediately returned to the sweet atmosphere of love and affection.

Similar episodes kept happening in the port, and many people noticed this ordinary-looking woman in sunglasses. However, most people could not judge the woman's identity through the sunglasses, and just felt that she looked a little familiar.

The woman in sunglasses walked out of the port freely and got into a car that had been waiting outside the port. The car started immediately and drove all the way to the city of Bai'an.

Finally, the woman took a car to the old city and got off the car in front of an old piano store. She turned around and waved lightly at the driver's seat, then strode into the piano store.

In the music store, behind the counter, a girl with light blonde curly hair was lying on the table, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, the woman smiled with a slightly doting look, walked forward, stretched out her hand and gently patted the girl's cheek.

Her action woke the girl up, and she looked at the woman with sleepy eyes. It seemed that the identity of the person coming was a little special, so she paused for a moment, carefully identified her for a while, and then asked with some doubt:

"Sister Mu Chrysanthemum? Why are you here?"

The name "wood chrysanthemum" made the smiling woman frown. She raised her hand and slapped the girl on her forehead: "Why are you calling me that?"

"Wow!" The girl was slapped like this and suddenly woke up, "Why did you hit me!"

"I've told you many times, okay? Even if you can't call me 'teacher' properly, you should at least call me 'Margaret' or 'Sister Yuanxiang'." The woman in sunglasses raised her finger and made a circle, saying seriously.

"But isn't Margaret actually Chrysanthemum? The code name the kingdom gave you is Chrysanthemum, right?"

"It sounds too tacky. A title like 'Margaret' would bring out my brilliance and beauty, right?"

Taking off her sunglasses, the woman revealed her eyes: "Come, my dear disciple, I'll give you a chance to change your name."

What is quite magical is that the woman who looks quite mature and cool when wearing sunglasses suddenly reveals a naive girlish look after taking off the sunglasses: her youthful and beautiful appearance seems to be no older than the blonde girl at the counter, and her pair of red eyes are even more captivating.

"So disgusting!"

However, the girl behind the counter didn't give Margaret any face at all: "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Why did I come back? Isn't it because of what's happening here? I heard that my hometown is about to be taken over, so I have to come back and take a look, right?" Margaret said with her arms folded.

"Hometown? Mu... Sister Yuanxiang, aren't you from the kingdom?" the blonde girl said dryly.

“Wherever there is music, that’s my hometown!”

Margaret was easily exposed by the other party, but she responded without embarrassment: "So why are you the only one in the piano store? Where are Dengzhan and the others?"

"They're out on patrol."

"Patrol, then why are you staying here?"

"I am responsible for guarding the house..."

The blonde girl pointed at her finger and said guiltily, "To prevent any problems from happening in the old city."

"Really?"

"…Because I got into trouble outside before, and I caught the wrong guy when I was catching the bad guy, so now I am under house arrest by Sister Dengzhan." The blonde girl stammered.

"You really do like getting into trouble as always." Margaret said with a refreshing smile.

"Woo." The blonde girl pursed her lips unwillingly.

"Forget it, it's okay if it's just you. Do you know what happened in Bai'an City before?"

"Before? Nothing happened, right?"

The blonde girl thought for a moment and said, "It was just that Sister Dengzhan disappeared for a few days, but everyone came back in the end."

"That's not 'nothing'."

Margaret corrected him: "What's the situation with the missing lantern? What did she do?"

"do not know."

The blonde girl shook her head blankly. “She just said that she got lost in the lair of the remnant beast and was delayed for a few days. She got out after defeating the remnant beast.”

"Nest? Pupae appeared here, Bai An?"

"Maybe?" The blonde girl held her chin.

"Probably?" Margaret confirmed with her.

"Probably." The blonde girl nodded again.

"... Never mind. Being confused and reckless is also a cute side of me."

After a moment of helpless silence, Margaret smiled and said, "It's better to wait until Dengzhan comes back before trying to ask you what's wrong with me."

"Why do I feel like I'm suddenly looked down upon?"

"No."

"It's not like I know nothing! It's just about the days when Sister Dengzhan disappeared! The kingdom sent someone over!"

In order to prove that she was not useless, the blonde girl thought hard: "What position is it... Patrolman?"

"Inspector? Hey, a big shot."

Margaret stroked her hair with interest. "It seems that what happened is quite serious. Which inspector was it?"

"Which one...I think his name is Kingfisher?"

"I've never heard of an inspector with that code name."

"That's Yuanxiang sister, you don't know it." Not wanting to have her answer denied, the blonde girl insisted: "Anyway, she's here to help, it can't be a fake."

"That means you remembered the name wrong. Kingfisher, Kingfisher, an inspector with a similar name..."

As Margaret read the code name spoken by the blonde girl, her leisurely expression gradually froze on her face. She loosened her hands on the ends of her hair, looked at the blonde girl, and spoke slowly:

"Delphinium?"

"--Ah, yes! Delphinium!"

The blonde girl slapped the counter. "That's the code name! That's right!"

"Are you sure your name is Delphinium? What does it look like?"

"Just a kid shorter than me."

The blonde girl explained everything: "Her hair and clothes were blue, and she had a big hat on her head... Hey, Sister Yuanxiang? Why are you smiling so scary?"

Before she finished her words, she saw Margaret's face showing a rare bright smile, and even her deep red eyes seemed to be flashing with light.

"Hehe, Lily." Margaret was in a good mood for some reason. She smiled and called the code name of the girl in front of her: "I suddenly thought of something."

“…It doesn’t feel good.”

"How could that be? It's rare that I'm in a good mood. What I want to ask is, are you planning to go to other cities for fun?"

"Where?" Mu Lily showed a little interest.

Then, she saw Margaret open her mouth and whispered a place name:

——"For example, Fangting City?"

Chapter 146 Interlude Behind-the-scenes Deal

——"I have fully understood the situation. You have worked hard. The Investigation Institute will appreciate your efforts."

In the bedroom under the setting sun, the girl's voice came from the mirror on the table. A girl wearing a golden robe and smiling nodded slightly at the mirror: "I will send the magical girl from the Strategy Bureau to assist the Black Ember Dawn in the pursuit as soon as possible, and I will also give you corresponding compensation and rewards, Miss Delphinium."

"You know that's not what I want to hear."

Across the mirror, the girl in a blue dress had a blank expression on her face: "If you just want to talk official language, then stop here, Your Excellency the Dean."

After the attack on the night of the Full Moon Festival, Delphinium contacted the Investigation Institute. Because this matter involved the real top leaders of the Black Ember Dawn, Golden Green Cat's Eye accepted the conversation.

After Delphinium described the whole story, she did not show any special reaction. She just gave a very official but useless response as usual.

This made Delphinium very dissatisfied, so the above conversation took place.

"Official language... You seem to have something else to say?" The golden-green cat's eyes appropriately expressed a little confusion.

A porcelain teacup appeared in her hand. She seemed to want to end the conversation, but now she had to stop what she was doing: "Well, if you are willing, maybe we can fill in some gaps."

"I don't intend to continue to play around with you. You deceived me, Your Excellency the Dean." Delphinium said bluntly.

"...I don't understand what you mean, Miss Delphinium." The golden-green cat blinked.

"It's impossible for you not to know the cause and effect of this incident."

Delphinium lowered her eyes slightly: "What happened in Donghua Province and what Black Cinder Dawn did, you know everything. Their every move has been under your nose. Over a dozen magical girls disappeared in the past two years, and a large number of civilians were sacrificed. You sent investigation teams here more than once, and even captured a lot of villains who were brought back to the country. Are you going to tell me that you really don't know anything?"

"You seem to have a great misunderstanding of me, Miss Delphinium."

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and the golden-green cat-eye shook his head and said, "The Gemstone Scepter and the Investigation Institute are not as powerful as you think. The Investigation Institute only knows that they have some plans in Donghua Province, and cannot know in detail what they have done in each city."
