After get off work, I become a magical girl

The black cat fairy stammered and bluffed, "Be careful or I'll go back to the royal court and sue you!"

"Yes, that's right. I am the arbitrator of the Ministry of Finance."

The Taoist girl also raised her hands and showed the handcuffs on her wrists: "I came to Fangting City for urgent matters, so I didn't bring any money. I ask for more lenient treatment."

The horrible acting skills and the tone of voice of the man and the goblin made Lin Yun look strange. He felt powerless, as if he had thrown a punch but hit cotton.

Don’t they really know that they have confessed everything on the surveillance video?

He couldn't help but wonder, if what the surveillance video said was just a trick and bait, then what was their poor acting? Was it to deliberately arouse his suspicion? But what was the point?

"This person is actually an official of the country? That's really disrespectful. Our employees acted on impulse and gave you two such a bad experience. I will definitely criticize them and apologize to you later. Please don't bother with them."

Because he couldn't see through the person in front of him, he continued to maintain a calm expression and said politely: "I will have someone release you two from detention right away. Please move to the reception room so that we can have a good talk."

He turned around, called the employees outside the door in, and asked them to remove the special handcuffs from the Taoist robe girl. Although this thing has the effect of suppressing magic power, it can only be used against magicians at most, and it is actually useless when worn on a magical girl.

He actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to release his magic suit and sense the magic power of the magical girl in front of him at close range. However, considering that the other party might be quite powerful, he might be exposed if he acted rashly, so he gave up the idea.

Walking out of the interrogation room with the girl, the two of them went to the reception room followed by several employees. During this time, Lin Yun still did not give up on trying to get information from the other party.

"So, what's the important business that brought you to Fangting?"

He looked at the girl seriously, as if he really regarded her as an official. "Our city has been deeply affected by the gray magic organization Black Dawn recently. Many employees have been sacrificed in the fight against these evil believers. The casualties are heavy. Are you two here to deal with this matter?"

After saying the words "Dawn of Black Ashes", he stared closely at the other person's facial expression so as not to miss any possible clues.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't have any special reaction.

"First things are first things, they cannot be discussed or put into words."

The magical girl in Taoist robes shook her head: "It's not a good thing for you ordinary people to know too much. I'm here to find the magical girl in Fangting City."

"The magical girl from Fangting City?"

Lin Yun squeezed the heart gem in his pocket imperceptibly and said, "May I ask who you are looking for? The Fangting City Magical Girls Team has seen a lot of personnel changes in the past two years. It's possible that the person you are looking for is not here."

"I'm here to look for Cornflower. I wonder if you've heard of this name?"

The girl said loudly: "I remember she is a very famous magical girl here?"

Looking for yourself?

Lin Yun suppressed the urge to raise his eyebrows and said calmly: "'Cornflower' is the captain of the Fangting City Magic Girls Team. She is indeed very famous."

"Oh, that's right." The Taoist girl nodded, "Can you help me contact her?"

"That's no problem, but I may require you to provide your code name, okay?" Lin Yun pressed on in secret.

"My code name? Kite...ah, just call me Gladiolus."

The Taoist magic girl said calmly: "She may not have heard of my name. If she doesn't want to come, just tell her that I can solve her problem."

"…What does this mean?" Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat.

"It has nothing to do with you ordinary people."

The girl didn't seem to intend to explain at all: "Just tell her what you said, she will understand."

Lin Yun understood, but couldn't believe what the other person said.

The so-called "problem with his body" could only be a more serious injury, for which only Emerald had promised to have a solution. But now even the person with the suspected claw marks had come?

Considering that the former Purple Diamond was behind the claw marks, could the girl's words be understood as the former Purple Diamond also using this incident to express her stance?

But can we really trust what Claw Mark said?

Many guesses came to mind, but Lin Yun remained calm and led the other party to the reception room of the Strategy Bureau. When the group opened the door of the reception room, they saw a square table with various meals and drinks.

This was what Lin Yun had asked the canteen to prepare, to entertain the two uninvited guests in the reception room. The other party had been locked up in the interrogation room for the whole morning, and must be hungry now. A lunch could effectively bring the two sides closer.

"I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding. Our staff failed to understand your identities and intentions, causing you to waste an entire morning."

He made a "please" gesture towards the square table not far away: "We specially prepared lunch and drinks, I hope you will like them."

"Oh! Wine!"

The Taoist girl at the door suddenly brightened up, and she almost whistled: "Great, we have been sleeping in the open air and relying on breathing to fast for so many days, and our mouths are really lacking in flavor!"

"You're not really going to drink it?"

The black cat fairy at the side quickly dissuaded him: "Don't forget what we are here for. What if you are really drunk?"

"I won't get drunk. I won't get drunk. What's wrong with a couple of drinks?"

The girl waved her hand, ignoring the fairy's dissuasion, and went straight to the seat: "Besides, we martial arts practitioners have the so-called blood circulation under control. A little bit of alcohol can be dissipated by exhaling."

"You... please be more careful..."

The goblin was obviously still reluctant, but knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, he had no choice but to sit down.

Lin Yun followed closely behind, telling the employees not to follow him, and walked into the reception room with the two of them. He sat down on one side of the square table and continued chatting with the girl.

It seemed that because she had food and drink, the girl's mood was obviously much higher, and the parts that had been vague and ambiguous before became clearer and more organized.

Of course, from Lin Yun’s perspective, most of this is just nonsense and gossip.

For example, the other party has been boasting since he drank, "Cornflower and I are as close as brothers and sisters, and this time I came to bring her an opportunity." In fact, there is no such person as "Gladiolus" in Lin Yun's memory.

No matter how well the other person controls his or her boasting, lies are lies and can never become facts.

However, there was some useful information mixed in there. For example, from time to time, the other party would reveal some secrets that ordinary magical girls would not know, and some of them clearly pointed directly to claw marks, which made Lin Yun more certain of her origin.

He continued to persuade people to drink and tried to get more information, but just when the conversation became heated, his expression suddenly became serious because a magical power uncontrollably flowed out of the Heart Gem and quickly spread throughout his body.

——This was not an attack from an enemy; it was undoubtedly a precursor to a transformation.

My frustrating aftereffects have struck again.

Although he had made relevant preparations long ago, he did not expect that the sequelae would occur at such a critical moment. If he was discovered by the magical girl next to him now, who knows what kind of problems would arise.

Realizing this, Lin Yun quickly stood up, informed the other two people at the table, and ran quickly to the door.

He wanted to find a secluded place and wait for the uncontrolled transformation to end.

After Lin Yun left, the girl in Taoist robe, who was still a little drunk, suddenly raised her head and looked straight in a certain direction outside the door.

"...Sammy, do you feel it?" she asked slowly.

"What?" The black cat fairy looked at her in confusion.

"It's a magical fluctuation. A very strong magical fluctuation."

She raised the glass, drank the wine in it, and wiped it around her lips:

"Magical girl's."

Chapter 174 Encounter on a narrow road

2023-06-12

"Gladiolus?"

In the empty reception room, a voice with a hint of mechanical sound came from the magic mirror in the hand of the Jade Bird: "Are you sure it's this code name?"

In the mirror, the chubby doll was holding the magic mirror with its claws with some difficulty, and spoke to Delphinium for confirmation.

As for Delphinium herself, she leaned against a closed wooden door, staring expressionlessly at the magic mirror in her hand, nodded, her azure hair swaying:

"Yes, that's right. Can you find it? I can't confirm that this code name is real. I can only judge from the information she revealed that she might be from Claw Mark, but apart from some unconfirmed remarks, there is no other substantial evidence at present."

After leaving the dinner table, Delphinium, unable to suppress the Heart Gem, rushed to an empty reception room next door as fast as it could and locked the door behind it.

The out-of-control Heart Gem was unable to undo its transformation for a while, so she took out the magic mirror she was carrying and contacted the Emerald.

The reason is simple. Currently, the only one in Fangting City who can handle this matter is Emerald.

She didn't know the strength of this magical girl who called herself "Gladiolus" and was suspected to be from Claw Mark, but she had a clear understanding of her current level - even if Sparrow came again, she would not be able to get away with it, not to mention that this person was obviously stronger than Sparrow.

"Let me see... Please wait a moment. I have to ask my assistant to contact my friends at the Demonic Institute."

Emerald's voice was a little vague, probably because her real body was doing something else far away in the kingdom, but she still emphasized the word "friend": "You may need to wait for two or three minutes."

"Okay." Delphinium nodded expressionlessly, "Thank you for your help."

"It's just a small matter. It's still a long way from being a problem."

The doll in the mirror waved its claws. "But what happened over there? The magical girl with claw marks directly invaded the Strategy Bureau. This is not a common thing. As far as I know, White Wolf and her group of subordinates have always avoided contact with ordinary people."

After hesitating for a long time, Kuiqi finally came up with a fabricated excuse of "being arrested on the street for eating a free meal" to explain the whole story. At the end, he added: "This is what I have heard so far, and the facts are yet to be verified."

"Although it sounds a little weird...it doesn't seem impossible."

Emerald was quite calm. She didn't question what Delphinium said. Instead, she analyzed it carefully. "Although most magical girls in the material world are familiar with human cities, the natives of the kingdom and the old veterans who have lived in the kingdom for too long can't figure it out. I've even had a researcher get lost in the material world before. When he was found, he had been wandering for half a month."

“Are the people in your country really okay?”

"I told you, here we have to say 'our country'! Show your solidarity, young man."

Emerald said earnestly, "Look, your current situation is the result of not listening to your elders. I have been urging you to get treatment as soon as possible, but you questioned and delayed it. In the end, when something really happened, you still came to me for help. Is it time to reconsider the deal I proposed?"

"I'll think about it later." Delphinium agreed expressionlessly, "So have you found out the other party's information?"

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be there in such a short time...ah, I found it, gladiolus."

She suddenly changed her words in the middle of her words. With the sound of flipping pages, Emerald said thoughtfully, "Well, there is indeed such a person."

"Is it fake?" Delphinium asked.

"Probably not."

The voice on the other end of the line slowed down slightly. It was obvious that Emerald was reading something. "The results I found here show that Gladiolus is indeed the magical girl who defected with White Wolf more than ten years ago. Before defecting, she was an arbitrator of the Ministry of Finance and a karuta player. It seems that she knew White Wolf for a long time."

"...She didn't lie?" Delphinium was a little puzzled.

"Not everyone is for a deep-minded brat like you, young man."

The doll in the mirror shook its head: "Magical girls are synonymous with purity and kindness. Young girls are like this, and respected elders like me also have noble and beautiful qualities. Among the magic girls who defected, there are also many who are simple-minded."

Even the last trace of emotion disappeared from Delphinium's already expressionless face.

"I am willing to believe you, Your Excellency the Chief."
