After get off work, I become a magical girl

"But, she was talking about dealing with those scumbags at Black Dawn, right?"

Tian Sheng quietly defended himself, "I think dealing with them is just like dealing with crippled animals. There's no need to pay attention to human ethics."

"...You are right. The scum of Black Dawn deserves death."

Lin Yun nodded: "But let's figure out what the meaning of us adults being here is, and why the Strategy Bureau was established. 'Magical girls deal with remnants of beasts, and the Strategy Bureau deals with traitors to humanity.' We exist here to keep these children away from killing their own kind, and to prevent them from carrying the burden of killing humans when they are young and ignorant."

"Perhaps when they are still children, they will not feel anything when they kill these evil humans; but no one can guarantee that this will not become a shadow of their lives when they grow up."

"It's true that her teacher is a magical girl, but you should know that she was already active 20 years ago and is now an adult. Her teacher has a well-formed outlook on life and values, and cruelly killing the enemy is a decision she made after making up her mind, not a meaningless imitation..."

——"I'm not imitating!"

Bai Jingxuan interrupted Lin Yun anxiously.

She raised her hand like a primary school student asking a question in class, but she spoke without waiting for permission: "I'm not imitating the teacher! It's true that I admire the teacher's approach, but I want to kill those bad guys myself!"

"why?"

Lin Yun asked in confusion.

"Because I want revenge!"

Bai Jingxuan put one hand on her heart and declared loudly: "They let the beasts kill my parents, and they also killed that magical girl... and killed Senior Ying! I hate them! I will make them die miserably! I will make them regret everything they have done!"

Lin Yun had never seen Bai Jingxuan so excited.

In his memory, Bai Jingxuan has always been that well-behaved and sensible child, very quiet and calm. She would not express her emotions fiercely in front of others, nor would she embarrass others. She left too much space for others, so that others often did not notice her existence.

Perhaps, in her daily battles with the beasts, her fighting style was a little violent and cruel. But under the tireless correction of Cuiqiao, such dangerous fighting methods have become much less common, and now Bai Jingxuan is acting like a normal magical girl.

If it weren't for today, perhaps Lin Yun would never have heard the word "revenge" from Bai Jingxuan's mouth.

But compared to the child's experience, the word was so heavy and so natural that he didn't know what else to say.

However, when she said words like "massacre" and "revenge", her expression was so innocent and serious, and the dissonance between them made people feel uneasy.

"...I won't agree to it. I can't let a kid like you do something like that."

In the end, Lin Yun could only speak awkwardly. He stopped trying to persuade Bai Jingxuan and looked at Tian Sheng, pointing at the door of the office and said:

"Tian Sheng, take her out."

Chapter 155 Argument

2023-05-23

After seeing off the uninvited guest who came to the director's office, Lin Yun went to the cafeteria of the Strategy Bureau with a heavy heart.

Although he is now the director, he insists on not making any special arrangements in his lifestyle. He keeps everything the same as ordinary employees and does not enjoy any special treatment.

After taking a few bites of the food on the plate, which tasted like chewing wax, Lin Yun thought about the conversation in the director's office that morning and felt overwhelmed for a moment.

He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

He didn't know what Bai Jingxuan's mentality was like before, or what her views on life and hatred were. But the fact that she had such violent thoughts now seemed to be closely related to his battle on the night of the Full Moon Festival.

Lin Yun often reflects on this matter, wondering whether his choice at the time was a bit extreme, whether he should use such a cruel fighting method in front of the girls, and whether it would have any bad effects.

In fact, Bai Jingxuan's eyes had already shown something wrong when she met the girls again after killing Moss. Among the three girls, she was the only one who didn't show any worry or fear, but full of excitement and admiration.

She acted like this, as if she had finally found some direction, had some enlightenment.

At that time, Cuiqiao didn't know what Bai Jingxuan was thinking. Now that she thought about it, she must have had similar evil thoughts. This evil thought had settled for half a month, and it fermented under her calm and well-behaved appearance, and finally manifested itself into what it is now.

Delphinium did not want to shirk her responsibility in this matter. As a senior on the path of magical girls, she indeed failed to set a positive example in this matter.

However, things have turned out like this, and there is no point in hesitating. What I need to think about is how to remedy the situation. How should I tell Bai Jingxuan that her idea is inappropriate?

With mixed feelings, Lin Yun returned to his office somewhat tiredly after lunch.

Pushing open the swing door of the director's office, he looked inside and saw the green-haired girl with a ponytail who should have been sent away.

Tian Shengzheng stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face, not knowing what to say.

"...Why is she still here?" Lin Yun turned his head and asked Tian Sheng.

"I tried to persuade her, but she just wanted to come." Tian Sheng explained in a low voice, "And I couldn't stop her, so I had to follow her."

"Didn't the security department come to chase us away?"

"She's here, but she's a magical girl after all...the security department can't do anything to her." Tian Sheng scratched the back of his head.

Lin Yun glanced at the two of them, and after a brief pause, he sighed imperceptibly and said to Tian Sheng: "Okay, then you go back first, I'll talk to her."

"Don't you need me to stay here?" Tian Sheng pointed at himself, "If we still can't come to an agreement..."

"Then you can't persuade her, can you?"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "Thank you for troubling me this morning. Go back and have a rest."

Tian Sheng seemed to have something else to say, but after seeing the tit-for-tat atmosphere between Lin Yun and Bai Jingxuan, he gave up the idea and left the director's office with a little worry.

After sending Tian Sheng away, Lin Yun returned to his desk. He looked at Bai Jingxuan, who also looked at him with a somewhat stubborn expression.

"I should have said I wouldn't agree to it."

Lin Yun shook his head and spoke again: "Unless you can change your intentions, don't participate in the action with a pure revenge mentality. Don't mention words like 'massacre' anymore, just wipe out the enemy in a normal way."

"Well, then I won't say all this and just fight the bad guys normally..." Bai Jingxuan tried to suggest.

"I need a guarantee, not just a temporary perfunctory one. I don't want you to give in to me verbally, but then go back on your word and slaughter the enemy when you actually participate in the action."

Lin Yun seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly: "If you can do it, then I will agree to your request to participate in the operation."

"Hmm..." Bai Jingxuan pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"Sit down. No need to stand and talk any longer. If you want my advice, maybe you can go back and ask the 'teacher' you mentioned."

Lin Yun sat down in his seat and pointed at the chair in front of the desk: "You said you wanted to learn from her, so what does she think of your current decision? Have you thought about it?"

"……I have no idea."

Bai Jingxuan shook her head and remained standing: "I haven't asked her yet."

"That is to say, your decision to come to the Strategy Bureau was entirely your own, and you did not seek advice from your teacher."

Lin Yun picked up the water cup on the table: "Even from this perspective, are you too impulsive?"

"I don't think the teacher will refuse..." Bai Jingxuan muttered softly.

Your teacher is very rejecting now.

Lin Yun tightened his grip on the water cup.

"No matter how you feel, the opinions of the parties involved are necessary."

He tried to calm down and said in a gentle tone, "Go back and ask first, and then come to the Strategy Bureau when you have a specific answer."

By saying this, his meaning was actually very clear, which was another rejection. However, this time he did not leave no room for negotiation, but handed over the follow-up handling of the matter to Cuique.

In his opinion, according to the current situation, he couldn't give any constructive suggestions to make the conversation progress as the director of the Strategy Bureau. If he wanted to shake Bai Jingxuan's decision, he seemed to have to change his angle or even his identity.

Since Bai Jingxuan's current thoughts were related to Cuique, Cuique's opinions were undoubtedly more useful. Perhaps, if he used his identity as a teacher to dissuade her, Bai Jingxuan would listen to him a little.

However, Bai Jingxuan did not reply.

After listening to Lin Yun's words, she just looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression, not knowing what she was thinking. Lin Yun could only see her expression change from serious to hesitant, and then from hesitant to resolute, and finally she spoke again:

"But, uncle, you also hate those bad guys, right?"

"I already know, uncle, you are Xiaolu's father, and Ying-senpai is Xiaolu's mother, so Ying-senpai is your wife, right?"

Bai Jingxuan grabbed the hem of her skirt and said, "She died at the hands of those people, so you should hate them too. Can't you let me take revenge on them?"

“…This has nothing to do with you.”

Lin Yun lowered his eyes and looked into Bai Jingxuan's eyes: "This matter is much more complicated than you think."

"Uncle, don't you want to take revenge on them?"

"I would like to, but not in the form of 'massacre' or 'torture'."

"I don't understand." Bai Jingxuan also lowered her head.

"You may not understand, but I can assure you that these criminals lurking in Fangting City will receive the punishment they deserve."

Lin Yun tapped the table with his fingers: "So you don't need to dirty your hands, just watch their ending and applaud, okay?"

"But, that's not my revenge, right?" Bai Jingxuan still lowered her head.

"Revenge never has to be taken on your own."

"...I don't seem to feel anything unless I kill them myself, uncle."

Bai Jingxuan raised her head, her well-behaved and calm eyes filled with emptiness: "I still want to go by myself."

"Then I will never let you go, Bai Jingxuan."

There was no one else in the office, so Lin Yun no longer concealed his feelings and directly called out the girl's name: "I will not let a magical girl follow my employees to kill people, even if these people are complete villains."

"But the teacher killed the bad guy!"

"Your teacher is an adult, and you are not. Your situations are different."

"This has nothing to do with whether you are an adult or not!"

"some."

Lin Yun tapped the table faster and faster: "Because no adult would allow such a thing to happen in front of them."

"Why?" Bai Jingxuan was puzzled.

"Our lives are set, but you still have hope."

Lin Yun looked at the girl in front of him seriously: "We have already taken on the responsibility of killing, and we are destined to continue like this. But you haven't yet, and there are other possibilities in your life."

"I don't need such a possibility!"

Bai Jingxuan said anxiously, "It's also good to be like the teacher!"

"Is your teacher really that good? Why do you judge like that?"

Lin Yun asked back: "Is it possible that she often regrets what she has done?"
