"…Um, the thing my sister mentioned happened to Moko and I today."
Just when Lin Xiaolu was speechless, Bai Jingxuan beside her suddenly said, "While on patrol this afternoon, Moko suddenly came over to me and told me that it had found a new child with magical girl qualities."
"A new magical girl?"
Bai Jingxuan's words immediately attracted the attention of the other two, and they all looked at each other sideways. Lin Xiaolu also dropped the embarrassing question and looked at Bai Jingxuan and asked, "Have you met one? Do you really have the qualifications?"
"Can what I feel be false?"
Being questioned by Lin Xiaolu, Mo Ke rolled his eyes at her in dissatisfaction, and then said in a pretentious tone: "If she is said to be a new magical girl, then she is a new magical girl, absolutely true, no deception!"
"Have you contacted the other party? Is she willing to be a magical girl?"
Xia Liang was obviously thinking in the longer term: "Or was the person you found snatched away by the 'magical girl from another city' that Xiaolu mentioned?"
"That's not the case."
When he got to this point, Mo Ke suddenly hesitated: "We did find the qualified child, and there was no one trying to snatch him away, but..."
"But?" Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang said in unison.
"But when we found the child, she said she was already a magical girl."
Moko's voice gradually faded away: "She said she came from another city and had already cooperated with other sowers... She also apologized to me very sincerely."
"That sister is very nice. She even bought hot milk tea for me and Moko."
Bai Jingxuan followed up, "But she said she had other things to do, so she left quickly."
Now it was Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang's turn to look at each other.
"That is to say, she is not a newcomer with magical girl qualifications, but another real magical girl..."
After a long while, Lin Xiaolu finally concluded, and then asked Xia Liang with some doubt: "Under normal circumstances, does the sower make a mistake like this?"
"Probably not?"
The two of them looked at Mo Ke with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
"Why did you jump to conclusions without even asking me? They are similar magical fluctuations, so it's normal to get confused!"
Mo Ke was immediately unhappy: "And generally speaking, if you sense the magical power fluctuations of a strange magical girl in the city, you will think that she is a qualified newcomer, right? Who knows that a magical girl from another city will suddenly come here!"
"A real magical girl's magic power, not to mention its fluctuations, is thousands of times stronger than that of an ordinary person, right?"
Lin Xiaolu looked at Mo Ke as if he were a fool: "How careless does one have to be to make such a mistake?"
"What if, what if he is a genius born with super magical powers and qualifications far different from others!" Mo Ke argued.
"If there really is such a person, and you have overlooked him until now, does that count as a dereliction of duty as a sower?"
"Well……"
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. You two should stop now."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing over a trivial matter, Xia Liang hurriedly stopped them: "In short, according to the eyewitness information from Xiaolu and Xiaoxuan, there are indeed magical girls from other cities who came to Fangting today. This should be correct. Xiaolu should have met her while patrolling after school, and Xiaoxuan met her in the afternoon. These two should be the same person?"
"perhaps?"
Reminded by Xia Liang's words, Lin Xiaolu said uncertainly: "Shouldn't there be several magical girls coming to a small place like ours? Wouldn't it be like declaring war...ah, could it be that 'claw mark'?"
After she said this, everyone in the living room fell silent, because no one could deny this possibility.
Just half a month ago, an uninvited guest who called himself "Fairy Immortal" broke into the secret base and told them about the signs of claw marks. In other words, the "claw marks" that broke into Fangting City had actually happened. Even though the magical girl they met today was relatively friendly, it could not be ruled out that this was just a disguise.
Just when the topic came to a standstill, the sound of a door closing was suddenly heard at the entrance.
Delphinium returned to the secret base with unsteady steps and a tired face.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. The reason why she came back so late was not only because she accepted Yuan's challenge in the evening, but also because she had some unfinished work after the challenge.
She had received a notice from the municipal government before. Since the Full Moon Festival, Fangting City has repeatedly experienced major safety accidents, and the Yi Ce Bureau was almost breached in the process. As the new director, Lin Yun needed to go to the municipal government to make some promises to the top leaders in order to calm the officials' concerns.
As time went on, the day for submitting the report was approaching. Even though it was already past the normal working hours, Lin Yun had to stay in the Strategy Bureau and continue to improve his report documents.
In addition, the elimination of Black Dawn has entered its final stage, and various documents and reports are coming one after another, and there are constant meetings of all sizes every day. After returning to the secret base, he still needs to provide tutoring and magical girl lessons. Now Lin Yun is as busy as a top, with no time to rest from morning to night every day.
With drooping eyelids, Delphinium packed up her shoes and sighed listlessly. She looked towards the living room not far away, but had to force herself to cheer up considering her image in front of her juniors.
She raised her hand and patted her cheek to make her expression look more relaxed. She straightened her back, trying to maintain an indifferent expression, and walked into the living room as if nothing had happened.
Then she found three girls and a fairy gathered together, staring at her silently.
Was there something wrong with me that they discovered?
Such thoughts came to mind, but Kuei-Chrysanthemum still maintained a calm appearance, maintained a basic aura and asked: "Why are you looking at me like this, what's wrong?"
However, she did not realize that although she maintained her superficial calmness, she could not hide her physical and mental fatigue as well as the anger from the fight she had just had.
To the girls, this looked like a sign of being in a bad mood.
Although the appearance of an unidentified magical girl in the city was not a bad thing to worry about, combined with the problem of claw marks a while ago, it was hard to believe that it was a good thing. At this time, informing the unhappy Delphinium of such news was an act of bringing bad luck no matter how you think about it. For a moment, no one was willing to explain.
The girls and the fairy in the living room looked at each other, and finally looked at Lin Xiaolu together. Lin Xiaolu first pointed at herself in disbelief, then shook her head and pointed at Xia Liang, but Xia Liang just smiled and waved his hand without saying anything.
In the end, Lin Xiaolu was pushed to the forefront.
"Um...we were just discussing this because we met a strange magical girl today."
She folded her hands in front of her, pinching her fingers unconsciously: "Just, because I don't know where the other party comes from, I'm guessing."
"A strange magical girl?"
Hearing this, the first person that came to Cuiqiao's mind was Yuan. Considering that the other party was indeed wandering around Fangting City every day, it was not impossible for him to bump into the girls, so he asked, "Have you seen him? What is his appearance?"
"It was a girl wearing yellow clothes, she looked young. The magic outfit seemed to be shoes." She tried to recall the image she had seen before, but she could only recall a flash of light and a black dress soaked by the mucus from the remnant beast. Lin Xiaolu said uncertainly.
"It's a sister who wears glasses and looks about the same height as Sister Xia Liang." Bai Jingxuan gave a completely different answer: "She looks a bit serious, but she's actually a very nice person."
There is no doubt that these two descriptions do not overlap with Yuan at all. As for whether they are talking about the same person, no one can make a judgment.
Listening to the girls' description, Kuiqi felt relieved at first. She was relieved that the girls did not directly encounter Claw Mark; she was also relieved that Yuan kept his promise and did not take the initiative to cause trouble for the children.
But then, she had to be alert again. After all, if what Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan said was true, there might really be another strange magical girl in Fangting City.
It was no wonder that her first reaction was to be alert. After all, since her comeback, there had only been three foreign magical girls entering Fangting City: one of them was from the Cattail Team of the Investigation Institute, and the other two were from the Sparrow and Kite of the Claw Mark. There was no doubt that the latter two were all enemies.
With this in mind, she sat the girls down and asked them about the details of the incident, repeatedly confirming the performance and possible motives of the group of magical girls. After hearing that these strange magical girls not only helped Lin Xiaolu defeat the beast, but also bought gifts for Bai Jingxuan, her judgment began to waver.
It's so friendly that it doesn't seem like claw marks?
And for some reason, even with just a few words, the magical girl described by Lin Xiaolu made Cuiqiao feel extremely familiar, as if she had seen this person somewhere before.
Is it an old friend you know?
She couldn't help but ponder secretly, trying to search her memory for the magical girl in yellow clothes and roller skates, but there seemed to be no one who matched the name.
In the end, she had no choice but to put this thought aside after considering it to no avail. She decided to go to the Strategy Bureau tomorrow and use the power of the bureau to conduct an investigation to find out the identities of the two magical girls.
After making this decision, she put the matter aside, and after a simple dinner, she took the three girls with her and prepared to go to the underground training ground for today's class.
At this moment, Lin Xiaolu suddenly clapped her hands as if she had thought of something:
"Oh, by the way, I may not have time to patrol on Saturday afternoon and evening. Delphinium, can you help me cover for a day?"
"Help you patrol?"
After thinking about her Saturday schedule and finding that she could indeed squeeze out some time, Delphinium nodded: "Of course I can, but what do you want?"
"Going out with friends."
"Male or female?" A slight warning arose in Cuiqiao's heart, but she pretended to be casual.
"A girl, my classmate."
Without realizing the intention of Cuiqiao's words, or noticing the somewhat amused expression on Xia Liang's face, Lin Xiaolu told the truth: "It was said that a very famous singer was going to come to our place for a concert tour on Saturday, so he asked me to go with him."
"...Is that so? Then go ahead. I'll help you patrol."
The alarm in her heart gradually subsided, and Delphinium's expression softened a little. "I'm usually very busy with patrols, and it's rare for me to go out and play with my friends. It's more important to have fun."
"Yeah! Thank you!"
After getting the promise from Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu nodded briskly: "Although I don't pay much attention to popular stars, but since she is very famous...what song is coming later? Then her concert will not disappoint people."
"The Queen of Songs..."
A name flashed through her mind for a moment, and she was dazed for a moment, but quickly shook her head and shook the name out of her mind.
It's all in the past, and that person just liked singing as a hobby.
She thought so and asked casually to fill the gap in the conversation: "What's it called? Are there any famous works?"
"What's her name? Ma... Mari... Ma Xiang..."
Lin Xiaolu tried hard to recall the name she heard from Jiang Yuan in the afternoon. She pondered for a long time and did not notice the gradually widening eyes of the jadeite beside her. Finally, she had a flash of inspiration, raised her fingers, showed her fangs, and called out the name that was particularly difficult for her to remember:
"Oh, yes, her name is Aso Yuanxiang?"
Chapter 192 The First-Class Star on the Stage
2023-07-17
In Fangting City, a large crowd is gathering at the entrance of the "Green Tower" Stadium.
It was afternoon, and the faint sunlight in the blue sky took away the slight chill lingering around people. People were full of enthusiasm, as if waiting for something.
The Green Tower is named after the observation tower located opposite the main stadium. Every night, the top of the tower emits a light green neon light, adding a lively atmosphere to the stadium.
This is the largest performance venue in Fangting City. In the past, countless well-known artists have performed here, and it has also carried the enthusiasm and expectations of countless audiences. Today is no exception.
Jiang Yuan was wrapped in a thick down jacket, half of her face was tucked into the scarf around her neck, and she looked like a round penguin from a distance.Standing on the periphery of the crowd, she kept looking at the road not far away, trying to find the trace she wanted to see.
And soon, she saw the person she was waiting for.
Lin Xiaolu, who arrived late, appeared in her sight.
She took her hand out of her pocket and raised it slightly. She subconsciously tried to greet her friend as usual, but the words she hadn't uttered were stuck halfway, inexplicably frozen in the frost.
Because there were a few people following Lin Xiaolu that she didn't know.
Of course, it wasn't like she didn't know them at all, at least one of them was a pretty girl named Xia Liang, and she had met her once. She vaguely remembered that Xia Liang was a student in another class of the same grade, and she was a bad girl in the rumors a while ago, but she seemed to have calmed down a lot recently, and she could even be seen at the top of the exams occasionally.
She knew that Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had a good relationship. However, Lin Xiaolu seemed to avoid this point on purpose and never took the initiative to talk about Xia Liang in front of others. After a while, she was no longer curious about it and respected everyone's freedom to make friends.
