After get off work, I become a magical girl

"In short, you are now a person with magical disabilities. If you want to use your power again, you need a complete rehabilitation process, or even surgery."

"Using the analogy of curing an illness, I can provide you with two kinds of help: first, helping you heal your wounds, recover from your injuries, and make up for the damage to your original form so that you can maintain your current condition; second, providing you with a prosthetic limb that is good enough to use so that you can move normally after recovery."

"Your existing strength will become a new whole. As your injuries heal, you can stop the decline of your magic power and be able to unfold your wonderland once again."

The doll showed a somewhat complacent look on its face: "Of course, it's not just Wonderland, you may very well be able to...get your own Fankai back."

Blooming profusely.

Lin Yun silently recited this word in his heart and slightly clenched the Heart Gem in his hand.

How long has it been since I last thought about this concept?

As an ability that magical girls will obtain at the Flower level, Fankai is extremely important to every Flower level. In fact, most of their combat power is made up of Fankai.

As the trump card of the magical girl, flourishing is a very special state. To describe it in more popular language, the so-called flourishing is the "second transformation" of the magical girl.

In the flourishing state, the magical girl's ability will evolve, and the magic power and soul will strength will gain unprecedented increase. According to the records of the country, the most exaggerated flourishing state can even reach ten times the magic power before the flourishing.

Such a terrifying increase in power does not require any cost for the magical girl. There will only be a period of weakness after using it.

This is one of the reasons why the combat effectiveness of flower-level magical girls is so far behind that of bud-level magical girls. No matter how weak their magic power is, a magical girl who uses blooming magic can easily surpass her peers in magic power.

What is certain is that if Lin Yun can use Fan Kai in the magical girl state, the increase in combat power will be enormous, far exceeding her previous self who was unable to use Fan Kai.

He also has enough confidence that if he can regain such ability, he will never be afraid of any enemy in battle.

This condition attracted him.

"what should I do?"

So he looked at the doll in front of him and asked seriously: "Or, what are you going to do?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. First, you need to stabilize your injury. Then, come to our institute and I will personally perform a small operation on you. Finally, I will help you install the most advanced 'prosthesis'."

The doll said with some pride: "Don't worry, this is my unique technique. It will not affect your original power. It will just do some tricks on the damaged area."

"I can't do it." Lin Yun said expressionlessly, "Don't tell me you don't know."

"You can't do it? Oh, it seems you can't do it."

The doll suddenly realized something. "That's right. After all, you rejected His Majesty's appreciation in person, so you were put under house arrest and forbidden to enter the magic kingdom. With the code name 'Cornflower', I'm afraid they won't even let you pass the border. I don't know whether to call you a rebel or something else. This is really troublesome... It hurts!"

Before it could finish its words, it let out a small scream. The reason was that Lin Yun directly reached out and pulled away the chair from under it, causing it to fall to the ground on the spot.

"Stop pretending. Dolls can't feel pain, right?"

Holding the back of the chair with one hand, Lin Yun supported the desk with the other hand: "It is not suitable for you to speak in a pretentious manner like our dean, respected chief. Let's talk less nonsense and make communication more efficient."

"That's too rude... Even if you want to, you shouldn't hit a lady's butt with a chair, right? I'm a staunch opponent of violence, and treating me like this will lower my opinion of you, junior."

The doll stood up from the ground complaining, and used its short paws to try to brush the dust off its buttocks: "Alas, the material world is really going downhill now. Don't the young people nowadays know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"

——"Hello, security department? Come to my office for a moment and help me throw the large dolls of unknown origin into the garbage room."

"Hey, hey-"

Emerald's lazy tone, which had always been leisurely, suddenly rose several octaves: "Don't be anxious, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet, there is a way."

Lin Yun held the phone, glanced at the doll on the ground, and said nothing.

"Well, in short, I can provide you with a solution. You should also know that the annual certification exam is still a while away."

Emerald cleared her throat and said, "At that time, a large number of new magical girls will flock to the Kingdom from all over the material world. You can infiltrate the Kingdom among the new candidates, and then come to Runore to find me."

"Blending in with the crowd does not change my identity." Lin Yun reminded expressionlessly.

"Then we don't need your original identity. We can forge one."

The doll climbed back up the chair leg onto Lin Yun's office chair and lay down again: "Starting today, create a new magical girl file in the Magic Academy and fabricate the existence of a new magical girl. Next year, you can use this identity to sign up for the exam."

"Does your Gem Scepter now have the power to directly invent a magical girl who doesn't exist?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he was not surprised after thinking about it carefully: "Has the infiltration of the Four Great Institutes into the Institute of Demon Affairs reached this level? Does she know that you are doing this?"

"Alas, the so-called power struggle and political games always have to have some unspoken things."

The doll on the armchair also folded its hands: "As long as everyone is united in saying that something does not exist, then in the political sense, it does not exist."

"You seem to have scolded yourself as well."

"Sitting in a position that is not yours and enjoying power that is not yours, you will eventually do something you don't like."

The doll looked up at Lin Yun and said, "The Gemstone Scepter is not a position that you can enjoy with a clear conscience. Especially when your colleagues are reaching out to seize their own power, standing by and watching is like waiting for death."

Emerald's words were very obscure, but Lin Yun understood what she meant: there is a balance and struggle of power between the gem scepters, and in this struggle, there is a character who has been putting pressure on everyone else, forcing the gems to spend more effort.

The person who is so devoted to playing political games with the jeweled scepter could naturally be no other than the director of the Investigation Institute.

"It seems that you really hate our dean." Lin Yun thought.

"As I said, we can skip some obscure topics."

The doll spread out its claws: "And if we want to help you sneak into the country, such power is indispensable. At least now it has become our helper."

"It's undeniable."

Lin Yun nodded: "Although I don't want to accept your glorification of this behavior."

"Oh? Are you trying to say 'those were originally mine'? That's so cute."

Emerald's voice was drawn out again, sounding meaningful: "If you really want to say that, I won't deny it."

"I'm not that naive."

Lin Yun shook his head: "The power of the magic kingdom is based on corresponding strength. Even if I accepted the invitation, I would not have the confidence to successfully recruit and manage so many people."

"Not necessarily."

The doll suddenly showed a strange smile on his face: "But in this case, if you agree to our deal, after you come to Runnore to complete the operation, I will hand over this part of the power of the Magic Affairs Institute to you, how about it?"

The office fell into silence for a moment.

Lin Yun looked at the doll on the chair. The smile on that furry face didn't seem fake at all. His lazy and comfortable look seemed as if he really didn't care about the "power" he was talking about, as if he didn't know how shocking what he said was.

Before today, if someone had told Lin Yun that someone would so casually use the power of a state agency as a bargaining chip, he would definitely have thought that person was joking.

He did not think that it was simply a preferential treatment for him. The other party must have other reasons to make such a condition.

"…What exactly is the origin of the beast? What secrets are contained in it?"

And this is the reason Lin Yun could think of.

The target of the emerald transaction is the Source of the Beast, and the reason why she can offer such conditions must be because she thinks the Source of the Beast has corresponding value.

So, what kind of value could be worth a quarter of the Magic Courtyard? Lin Yun didn't know, but he could vaguely imagine it.

"Do you agree to the terms of the deal? If you do, I can tell you." The doll was still leaning lazily on the chair.

"...If you don't tell me, it would be difficult for me to agree." Lin Yun shook his head slowly.

"Really? I offered you the ability to retrieve Fankai, your remaining lifespan, and even a quarter of the Mojiyuan. You're not even tempted by this?"

"A transaction that seems to be a sure win must have hidden risks and costs. I don't want to make a big mistake just for the sake of a momentary rush."

"'A grave mistake'? I can't pretend I didn't hear such harsh words. In your mind, do I mean to do bad things after getting the Beast Source? What kind of image do you have of me?"

"The jeweled scepter."

"Hmm! You actually used a word that should symbolize honor as a synonym for bad reviews. How despicable, young man!"

Emerald seemed very dissatisfied with such a description, but Lin Yun did not say anything else. He calmly looked at the doll in front of him.

He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky, and he needs the other party to give him a reason to reassure him.

After a brief silence, Emerald finally started the conversation again: "That's fine, we still have a lot of time. There are still five months until next year's certification exam. You have plenty of time to get to know me and then consider whether to close the deal. Believe me, my personal charm will convince you, and you will accept my terms after you feel my sincerity."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yun asked puzzledly.

"What I mean is that in the next period of time, I will leave this doll clone in Fangting City and set up a small private research institute here."

Emerald said slowly, "If you encounter anything curious, or if there is anything you want to know, you can come to me."

"Institute? When?"

“It hasn’t been built yet, and the address has not been determined.”

"…Is this also the reason why you came to see me?"

"Yes, that's why I came here today. I think the Strategy Bureau should not be short of such resources."

As if it had rested long enough on the recliner, the chubby fairy doll finally stood up again, even though it looked like just a ball rolling on the chair. Its deep dark green pupils once again stared at Lin Yun, with a hint of laziness and a hint of teasing:

"Then I'll ask you to find a good location for my research institute, young man, no... should I say, Mr. Director."

I was in meetings this morning and at noon, so the update is late!

There is something going on at home, so I will update later today.

There is something going on at home, so I will update later today.

The update progress may be delayed, I am very sorry. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 152: Encounter at the Station

2023-05-21

Lin Yun's conversation with Emerald did not last long.

After Lin Yun helped it select the address of a private research institute, the funny fairy doll strode out of Lin Yun's office and left the Strategy Bureau as if no one was around.

According to Emerald, this fairy doll is not only a mimic of the fairy image, but also has the same cognitive interference ability as fairies, and is much stronger than ordinary fairies. Ordinary fairies can only affect ordinary people with less powerful magic, making them invisible to them; but Emerald's doll can block the observation of all objects except magical girls and fairies.

After seeing off the uninvited senior figure from the research institute, Lin Yun processed some documents and met with some employees in the office. After that, it was finally time to get off work on his first day in office.

Even though he became the director of the Strategy Bureau, Lin Yun still didn't have the habit of driving to work. Today, he still takes the light rail tram to travel. The logistics department originally planned to provide him with a special car and driver, but he refused.

He doesn't think of himself as a leader now, nor does he want the treatment he receives from people around him to make him think so.

Compared to his previous workplace, the location of the Yi Ce Bureau building is closer to the tram station and more convenient to walk to. Taking advantage of the night, Lin Yun walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the nearest tram station.
