After get off work, I become a magical girl

When the call with the magic mirror was interrupted, Emerald obviously had something to say, which meant that she should have some countermeasures. I have already told her about the situation of the Strategy Bureau. Once the other party noticed the enemy's actions, there is a high probability that they will take countermeasures.

Before that, what he should do is to find ways to delay time, prevent the battlefield from shifting, and ensure that reinforcements can arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

The implementation of this decision will lead to a stalemate.

Through an attitude of half-belief, half-doubt, hostility and trust, the other party is put in a dilemma between taking action and not taking action.

Every time when Kuizi rejected the other party's proposal, she would not say it completely, but deliberately leave some handles to ensure that the other party could continue the conversation. At the same time, she showed an attitude of "rejecting on the surface, but actually a little hesitant", which made people feel that there was hope for peaceful evolution.

When the other party talked about her injuries, she hinted that she valued her reputation more; when the other party suggested that she could join him secretly, she deliberately did not mention the few advantages of joining him secretly when she refused; when the other party listed these advantages, she used flawed rhetoric to make a weak rebuttal.

As they went back and forth, she actually aroused Yuan's interest in talking, and a confrontation inexplicably turned into a lecture on the theme of "the benefits of joining Claw Mark". While Kuei-Chrysanthemum spoke less and less, Yuan spoke more and more. In the end, they even had an arm-in-arm relationship. If an uninformed person saw this, they might really think that their relationship was as close as Yuan had boasted before, "as close as sisters".

Time passed gradually in the conversation that went off track inexplicably. Cuiqiao even had the leisure to secretly press twice on his mobile phone with an expressionless face, reminding the three juniors that a strong enemy was approaching and not to act rashly.

However, this delay is not without cost.

She didn't know if the other party was drunk, or if this kind of persuasion and oppression would give people strange hints. After Delphinium deliberately showed weakness several times to extend the topic, she felt that the nature of the conversation between them was gradually changing.

Perhaps because the other party was relatively older, Kuei always felt that Yuan treated him as a child. The conversation between the two changed from trying to recruit people to join the gang to being like a man trying to trick an ignorant child on the street.

If they continued chatting, the conversation would probably drag on until the afternoon without any results, but after all, not everyone would be trapped by Delphinium's rhetoric.

"Wait, Kite, you just said that this cornflower is in a bad state?"

Just as the conversation between the two was going off the track, Semi suddenly interrupted and said, "So she can't really exert much of her strength right now?"

"Hmm? Ah, that's for sure."

Yuan, who had already become familiar with the conversation, reached out and touched Kuei-jae's head, and nodded: "Even at my distance, I can feel the flow of magic coming towards me. Her ability to control her own magic is already very weak, and I'm afraid that she can only exert one tenth of her strength."

"Then why are you still talking nonsense with her here!"

Sammy pointed at Delphinium and said, "The source of the beast is in her hands. She is here too. Why are you still negotiating with her? We can just capture her alive and take her away. She and her belongings will all belong to us. Wouldn't that mean that we have completed more than half of the mission this time? We can go back and report now, right?"

"That's the truth."

Yuan nodded after thinking about it, but seemed a little embarrassed: "But I don't really want to take advantage of a wounded man and fight him. As the saying goes, a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. It is meaningless to humiliate a strong man in this way."

"I've already told you not to worry about your sense of fairness at a time like this!"

Semi said helplessly: "We will capture her and the leader will transform her magic source. Then she can regain her former strength! Can't you fight her fairly?"

"...Ah, so there is such a method."

Kite blinked and turned to look at Delphinium: "Look, this is what it said."

Delphinium looked at Kite, then at Semi, and somehow for the first time she felt a chill.

If the other party had the same attitude as himself before, half suspicious and half hesitant, then when Semi proposed this plan, the other party looked at him with full aggression.

It's like the big bad wolf watching the little white rabbit.

Although the other party's purpose was definitely not to eat like the wolf, but being brought to the leader of Claw Mark like this would probably not be a good thing.

Should I run away now?

This was the first time that this thought came to her mind. However, before Kuei-Chrysanthemum could take action, she found that Yuan had already put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile on his face:

——"Then, shall we go?"

“…I don’t think I’ve fully bought into your philosophy yet.”

For a moment, Delphinium felt her hair stand on end and her back went cold, but she still resisted the feeling and said calmly and coldly: "We may need to talk more."

"It's okay, it's okay. We have a long way to go back, so we have plenty of time to chat slowly."

Yuan said loudly, and then took out a pair of handcuffs from somewhere: "But I may need to inconvenience you when the time comes, in order to prevent you from causing trouble in the wilderness, it is better to be prepared."

Cuique recognized it at a glance. It was the same pair of handcuffs that Yuan had worn in the interrogation room. No one knew when she had stolen them, but none of the staff at the Bureau of Strategy realized it.

Looking at the handcuffs, Delphinium fell silent again.

She knew very well that these handcuffs had little restraining power on the magical girl, but the magic-suppressing technique on them was not fake. If the other party really had some attainments in related techniques, or even really understood some restraining techniques, and modified them slightly, and then put them on herself, then she would have no chance of turning the tables.

However, if they disagreed and started a battle, I would have no chance of winning even if I used normal means. If I really lost, I would probably be captured.

So what to do?

In the silence, Kuizi's mind was working rapidly, constantly proposing plans, refuting and screening them. However, when the strength was at an absolute disadvantage, any plan seemed so powerless.

"We can recover a lot of strength by returning to the magic kingdom." The plan proposed by Emerald seemed to be fine, but no one would have thought that less than a month after the Full Moon Festival, an enemy with a similar or even higher level than the Moth would appear in Fangting City.

Facing such an enemy, even Delphinium, who had not yet destroyed the scissors, could not guarantee victory, not to mention now that his injuries were aggravated.

Slightly tilting her head back and looking at the pair of double pupils that looked like yin and yang fish, Cui Que's heart gradually turned cold. Her clenched fists gradually loosened, and even showed signs of gradually rising.

Wow!

Just when she wanted to choose to retain her strength and save the last glimmer of hope, there was a loud sound of glass breaking at the window of the reception room.

——"That's not necessarily true, is it?"

The strong wind from the upper floors of the building suddenly rushed into the house from the window, and along with the strong airflow, a figure rushed into the house at an extremely high speed.

Several purple-red magic beams shot out from the figure's hands and rushed towards Yuan's direction. Yuan calmly raised his hand to block it, but found that the simple spell could not stop the purple-red magic at all, and the barrier was instantly penetrated.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, the magic power around her suddenly stagnated. The originally invisible magic power silently turned into a pool of strange liquid metal, which barely stopped the surging magic attack.

In the blink of an eye, the figure that rushed in from the window grabbed Delphinium's legs and neck and retreated to the other side of the room.

In the scattered purple-red magical light, Delphinium raised her head slightly and saw a face that was somewhat familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar.

It was a face that he had seen not long ago, but it looked much younger.

Her fair face, with a gentle yet firm expression, her submissive low ponytails lying on both sides of her neck, and her purple eyes under her bangs. Her eyes drooped slightly, making her look a little weak, but she stood still while holding the Delphinium, her strong fighting spirit seemed to overflow, making her thin figure look extremely upright.

"It's okay now."

She lowered her eyes, gave Delphinium a somewhat brilliant smile, and then uttered a sentence that only the two of them could understand: "Because, the magical girl is here!"

——"Magical girl, card certification number 41422, Asagao, the protection mission begins!"

Chapter 176 Baiwu

2023-06-14

Unexpected reinforcements rushed into the battlefield with great momentum, and the purple-red light curtain that had not yet dissipated made the scene in front of them particularly dreamy. Delphinium blinked, and confirmed again and again that she was not hallucinating, and then she spoke in surprise:

"Asagao? Is it really you?"

She didn't know if this was the "reinforcement" that Emerald mentioned. If so, it would be too surprising because she never thought that this person would be Hong Siyu.

After all, it has not been a month since the Full Moon Festival, and Hong Siyu was sent to the kingdom for treatment this month. It was indeed beyond Cuiqiao's expectation that she could return to Fangting City at this time.

More importantly, Hong Si and Ben should no longer have the ability to turn into a magical girl.

As a retired magical girl, her magic source should have long been dormant, and her magical girl power should have been returned. Moreover, she was previously controlled by Moss and even transformed into a crippled beast. After such a torment, it was impossible for her to become a magical girl again.

However, facts are more important than anything else. The hand holding up Delphinium's knee is so real, and the face in front of her is so vivid. The girl who should have existed only in her memory is indeed here.

"It's really me, Senior."

The hands holding Delphinium slowly loosened, letting its feet fall to the ground. The girl in purple clothes lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm back, and I'm sorry I'm back late."

"Why can you ..."

"Hush, let's stop talking about the past here. I'll explain it to you when everything is over."

Perhaps because of the slightly intimate behavior before, Hong Siyu looked a little uncomfortable. She placed the book in her hand across the front of Cuique and gently interrupted her unspoken words:

"Now, we have to get rid of the enemy in front of us first."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Yuan not far away, and the expression on her face changed from gentle to tense.

"41422..."

However, Yuan did not seem to be aroused by the words of the visitor. Instead, he thoughtfully read the codename reported by Hong Siyu: "Have all the codenames started with 4 characters now?"

"Your focus is so strange! Just focus on the battle!"

Semi corrected him, "And the number starting with 4 was forty years ago. Didn't you notice that there are many magical girls with the same number inside the claw marks?"

"No one usually listens to other people's certification plate numbers."

Yuan waved his hand perfunctorily: "As for focusing on the battle, there is no need to remind me."

"Be careful. If the opponent has a word card and uses some strange wonderland, you might end up in trouble."

Semi stressed with concern: "Let's fight quickly and decisively. If reinforcements come, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, I never intend to underestimate my opponent."

Yuan slightly adjusted his stance, and his eyes, which had been slightly blurred due to the alcohol, refocused and became somewhat sharp: "A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit."

The atmosphere in the reception room was slightly stagnant, and both sides stopped talking. Then, with a loud bang, Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and her fist stretched out in front of Hong Siyu at a speed that ordinary people could not see at all, and the originally intact wall behind her was destroyed in an instant.

Glass, concrete, bricks, tiles, steel bars, and all the building structures belonging to the walls were shattered into pieces. The scattered dust floated in the air like haze and slowly fell to the ground.

And in front of her fist was an extremely thick magic barrier.

It would be unfair to describe this spell as a magic barrier, because from the outside, it was basically a magic wall. The thickness of more than half a meter completely isolated the power of Yuan's punch. In the entire reception room, only the space behind the magic barrier was intact.

Hong Siyu spread out her hands, in her palms was an open notebook, on the pages made of magic, lines of runes were flashing with strange brilliance. These brilliances formed a wall in front of her, thus blocking Yuan's attack.

"not bad."

The punch was not fully effective, but Yuan was not surprised but happy. A smile of delight appeared in her drunkenness. She stepped back slightly, raised her hand, relaxed her fist, lowered her wrist slightly, and suddenly punched again, hitting the barrier directly, but before hitting the barrier, she turned her wrist and suddenly increased her strength in a split second.

Wow!

The punch hit, and a huge gap was created in the seemingly indestructible barrier. Yuan threw a punch, followed by another one, and in an instant he threw several punches in a row, all hitting the same point, and the thick magic wall collapsed.

After destroying the magic barrier created by Hong Siyu, Yuan's face did not show any extra expression. She just hooked her finger, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said to Hong Siyu:

"Come again."

As soon as she finished her words, she found that the space around her suddenly distorted, and several magical spears of unknown origin passed by her.

These shaped spears appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly, unlike ordinary spells that had traces to follow. Their attack trajectories were quite tricky. However, Yuan simply moved his body and easily avoided them.

After dodging this round of attacks, she looked at Hong Siyu again, but before she could say anything, countless turbulent flows of magical power suddenly fell from the air and enveloped her.

Boom!
