After get off work, I become a magical girl

She looked up at her old teammate in front of her and said in a softer voice: "In my memory, Madoka Aso is not someone who would apologize for something like this. You wouldn't explain your actions to others before."

"Explain your behavior? Don't you? I thought I might never see the appearance of 'Delphinium' in my lifetime."

“…I thought so, too.”

Delphinium paused and said, "But a lot of things happened a while ago. I can't just sit there and wait for death."

"I heard that Fangting City seems to have been plagued by disasters recently."

"Who said that?"

"Dean."

"She told you anyway?"

"I took the initiative to ask."

Delphinium glanced at her in confusion: "Why did you suddenly think of asking her about this?"

Aso Yuanxiang smiled inexplicably: "Of course it's because I heard that a former retired teammate has made a comeback and even came to the city where I am stationed to show his skills. Even my juniors and students have received a lot of guidance from that person. Who do you think that person is?"

"…I knew that old woman had bad intentions."

After hearing what the other party said, and thinking about who had come up with the idea to send her to Bai'an, Cuique suddenly understood the crux of the matter and couldn't help but press her temple: "I shouldn't have accepted her request to resume her position."

"It's not nice to just call her 'old lady'. She seems to dislike being called that."

Unlike the sad face of Delphinium, Aso Yuanxiang, the beneficiary of this incident, looked more cheerful: "No matter what, the result is good. It is a rare happy event for old friends to meet. Or do you actually not want to see me?"

Delphinium pursed her lips helplessly.

Emotionally speaking, it is not a bad thing to meet friends you haven't seen for a long time, but meeting them at this critical juncture would only add to the trouble.

Or to put it a little more pretentiously, it's not that she is unwilling, she just hasn't prepared herself mentally yet.

She had some experiences that she was not so willing to tell her children and grandchildren about. Even Hong Siyu was not very clear about those things. Even if she knew a little, she would be cautious about her own thoughts and would not tell others easily.

But Aso Yuanxiang is different. This woman never minds if her words or deeds cause any trouble to other people. She says whatever she wants to say without any hesitation.

The woman in front of him, named Aso Madoka, has one biggest difference from his former teammate Hong Siyu, that is, she was his companion when he first became a magical girl. Therefore, the two of them know a lot of secrets from each other.

From the time when they were rookie magical girls to the subsequent garden defense war, the more they knew each other, the more they understood each other, and the more casual their relationship became.

Can Aso Yuanxiang distinguish what can be said and what cannot be said? In fact, Kusanagi has no idea, but saying "I don't want to see you" at this juncture seems too heartless. Obviously inappropriate.

"...If I have to say, reunion is still a happy thing." After thinking about it for a long time, she came to this conclusion.

"So it's mutual?" After getting the response, Aso Yuanxiang laughed.

"Be with each other."

With a short sigh, Delphinium raised her eyelids slightly: "Anyway, long time no see, you look in good condition."

"You're in good shape, too."

Aso Yuanxiang echoed in return: "Or rather, seeing you standing here like this means that you are in better condition than when I left.

As she said this, she stretched out her right hand, clenched her palm, and made a gesture to invite a handshake: "Then, perhaps it's time for us to start working together again."

"Cooperation? What's that?"

"There are many things, things about protecting the city, the country, Anya, Su Shengzi, and even things between you and the Chief."

As she said this, Aso Yuanxiang's expression became more serious: "You said before that you wanted me to talk about serious things. Is this what you mean?"

"...Are you checking?" Delphinium stared into her eyes.

"I'm investigating. Or rather, I know the progress of the matter better than anyone else." Aso Yuanxiang also looked at her seriously.

"Really? Very good."

Nodding, Kuei-Jin stretched out her hand, held the other party's hands, and shook them gently: "In this case, let's cooperate."

"Magical girl, Hanaru certification number 21032, affiliated with the Investigation Institute, codename Margaret." Aso Yuuka suddenly said this.

Hearing her announce her number, Delphinium was stunned for a moment, then realized that this seemed to be a formality, and then she also spoke: "Magical Girl, Hana card certification number 41076, Delphinium."

After he finished speaking, the scene unexpectedly became quiet again. Not only did the two people who were shaking hands remain silent, but the girls who were watching the gossip on the side also concentrated and held their breath, and there was no unnecessary sound at all.

Then, Aso Yuanxiang suddenly laughed.

As she smiled, she bent her knees, maintaining the handshake posture, and gently knelt on one knee.

After her knees touched the ground, she changed the handshake posture to a supporting hand, gently lifted the back of Delphinium's hand, and then, before anyone realized what she was doing, she touched the back of her hand with her lips:

"At your service, my lady."

The update is still a little slow, I'm really sorry for the long wait. Because the status is still being adjusted, the update frequency will probably be maintained at 2~3 days during this period. I will adjust it as soon as possible, please forgive me.

Chapter 196 Communication

2023-09-25

Kissing the back of the hand is an ancient etiquette, whether in the material world or the magical kingdom.

This kind of etiquette, called "kissing hands" in the material world, is often used in very formal occasions, and is either used to express respect to a respected lady, or for subordinates to express loyalty to a superior. However, with the changes of the times, the overall social world of the material world has become more technological, and this kind of etiquette has faded in people's lives over time.

Nowadays, the hand-kissing ceremony mostly appears in various movies, TV shows, and literary works, and has become a rather romantic behavior. Therefore, in the minds of young people, it is a relatively intimate and romantic practice. Regardless of what Aso Yuanxiang herself thinks about using this etiquette to greet, at least the young magical girls from Fangting City and Bai'an City are all excited, and they all let out high and low exclamations.

If the people in Bai'an were just gossiping, the people in Fangting, especially Lin Xiaolu, looked at Masuo Yuanxiang like they wanted to eat her. They rushed out in two steps and asked a serious question, "What are you doing?"

"It's just a friendly greeting, Xiaolu." This was Aso Yuanxiang's answer at the time.

"To show intimacy, you can just shake hands or hug. How can you do this... like you..."

Lin Xiaolu hesitated for a long time and couldn't figure out how to summarize the other party's behavior. After she gradually digested the other party's words, she soon discovered another question: "Wait, why do you know my name?"

"I used to be the magical girl of this city, and naturally I am also a friend of your mother."

Aso Yuanxiang remained calm and glanced at Cuiqiao beside her. Seeing that she didn't react, she said calmly, "Although you may not remember it, I even held you in my arms not long after you were born."

"Huh? With my own hands? What?" This statement, which was almost like directly declaring "I am your elder", immediately suppressed Lin Xiaolu's momentum. Although she was still quite dissatisfied, the confidence in her words suddenly weakened. "Are you lying? How come I don't know..."

"You can confirm with Delphinium, or go back and ask your father."

With a gentle smile, Aso Yuanxiang looked at Lin Xiaolu with interest: "Although neither they nor your mother have ever mentioned me to you, we had a very good relationship back then. Even the name 'Xiaolu' was decided under my witness."

Lin Xiaolu opened her mouth speechlessly. What the other party said sounded true, but she still couldn't believe it. She could only look at Delphinium beside her.

Delphinium, who had been silent for a moment because of the abrupt hand kiss, came back to her senses at this moment. She first looked at Aso Yuanxiang with a complicated expression, then sighed, looked at her daughter, and nodded: "Yes, except Hong Siyu, when you were born, the magical girls of Fangting City and your mother's teammates were actually all there. From this perspective, you are a child who has been watched since birth."

"Just look." Aso Yuanxiang smiled and spread her hands.

"Well... since Delphinium has admitted it, then... let's just take it as the truth."

Reluctantly accepting the fact that she had suddenly been called a few more "aunties", Lin Xiaolu pursed her lips and nodded, but soon continued with a glare: "But then, what did you mean by kissing Delphinium's hand? In such public!"

"There's nothing wrong with a hand kiss between adults."

Aso Yuanxiang continued gently: "It's just a kiss on the hand, not a kiss on the mouth, but you kids should not imitate it casually."

As soon as the word "kiss" came out, Xia Liang, Bai Jingxuan, and the blonde girl's eyes lit up with interest in the gossip, while Lin Xiaolu's ears became hot and she couldn't help but point at the other party: "How can you say such a word here? You are just being a hooligan!"

When Aso Yuanxiang heard this, she stood there in silence at first. After staring at Lin Xiaolu for a while, she suddenly couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.

“Hahaha, this is so funny!”

She exclaimed a little loudly, then bent down slightly and whispered in Kuei-Chi's ear, "Your daughter is so cute. Did you really not teach her anything before?"

"Is it weird? She's only 14."

Delphinium glared at her and said, "Don't teach her anything nonsense. Be serious."

"Okay, I know my limits."

Waving her hands to show that she knew, and ignoring Lin Xiaolu's dissatisfied snort, Aso Yuanxiang stood up, walked straight to Lin Xiaolu, and then extended her hand to her gracefully, "I'm sorry, if my words made you feel uncomfortable, then I take it back. I hope you can accept my apology, Xiaolu."

"I just saw that my teammates' children have grown so big, so I couldn't help but want to tease you a little. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu not only had no intention of shaking hands with her, but instead shrank back a little warily, Aso Yuanxiang's smile became even wider, and then she withdrew her hand without feeling embarrassed at all: "Anyway, I hope we can get along well for the next period of time."

"What's next?" Xia Liang, who had been watching the show, keenly caught the key words in her words and repeated them immediately.

"Yes, next, we may stay in Fangting City for a while."

Aso Yuanxiang nodded and said, "Let me introduce myself to you all again. I am the captain of the Magical Girl Team of Baian City, the alternate inspector of the Investigation Institute, and the Magical Girl Margaret. Because Fangting City is suspected to have become a high-frequency activity area for Claw Mark and Black Dawn recently, the security situation is poor. After consultation with the director of the Investigation Institute, we will temporarily station in Fangting City to provide military support."

"At the same time, considering that the new year's qualification certification exam will be held in less than half a year, the new magical girl of our Baian City team also came to Fangting City to apply for cross-city learning exchanges."

"Learning... communication?"

Sensing something from the other party's words, Lin Xiaolu raised her head slightly, first looking at Aso Yuanxiang, and then looked at the magical girls from Baian City beside her with some confusion.

There was no doubt that the Baian City team was also looking at her, or rather, at the girls from Fangting City.

——"As the instructor said, the purpose of our coming to Fangting City is to learn and communicate."

The girl codenamed Bai Ji took a step forward, took over Aso Yuanxiang's words, and continued: "In other words, we are here to help, but also to challenge. According to the instructor's expectations, she wants to see what kind of strength the magical girls in Fangting City have now, and she also hopes that we can use this to verify the results of our learning. Confirm whether we can achieve the goal of surpassing the new magical girl in the place where she was born."

"Kick the door..."

Lin Xiaolu blinked, gradually came to her senses, and realized what the other party was saying: "What are you talking about studying? Aren't you here to fight with us?"

“Hehe, are you scared?” The blonde girl standing slightly behind laughed, “I saw it before. You can’t even beat a remnant of the Snake Rank Beast?”

"What do you mean I can't even beat a caterpillar? It was obviously you who took my head by force!" Lin Xiaolu was immediately unhappy.

"Why are you grabbing the kill? I didn't even get the echo, right?"

"Isn't that because you were covered in the slime of the remaining beast and ran away without even having time to take it off?"

"I told you not to mention this again!"
