After get off work, I become a magical girl

Aso Maruka said slowly: "After all, some people are good at using a small amount of magic power to cause more impact, while some people lack the means in this regard."

"...Is this consoling me?"

Lin Xiaolu thought for a while and then gradually came back to her senses: "You mean, if it weren't for that rule restriction, but if both of us put our best effort into it, I wouldn't necessarily lose?"

"No, I'm just analyzing the reasons for your failure."

Aso Maruka glanced at her and shook her head: "Even if you try your best, you can't defeat Bai Ji, because she is my most satisfying disciple."

Regarding this somewhat unexpected answer, Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and then felt a surge of anger: "You -"

"But I also said that I am on your side."

Maruka Aso interrupted her attack: "Not only because Bai Ji provoked this matter first, and she didn't take any responsibility, but also because she was at the leaf level and you were at the species level. It was a competition spanning two Kaihua stages. It’s not called a competition at all, it’s just one-sided bullying.”

"...I am different from other species."

The offensive words were forcibly suppressed. Lin Xiaolu collected her emotions and said dullly: "If we just talk about the amount of magic power, I will never lose to Ye level."

"Because you have been stuck at the species level for a long time, but your magic power has never stopped growing..."

However, before Lin Xiaolu could finish her words, opposite to her, Maruka Aso said these words: "You want to say that, right?"

Lin Xiaolu looked up at her in shock, speechless for a moment.

"Because I was very curious about the whole matter between you and Bai Ji, I also asked Delphinium about it. She has already told me about your situation."

Aso Maranka continued: "I admit your specialness. Your abilities in many aspects have exceeded the limitations of this stage. However, even so, the species level is still just the species level. The gap between the species level and the leaf level , not only the gap in magic power quality and combat experience, but also the gap in ability and skills. "

"Give me an example."

She held out two fingers: "Suppose there are two ordinary people with similar height and weight who want to fight, but one of them is only good at street fighting without any systematic learning; the other is proficient in a variety of actual combat skills. Expert, proficient in various methods of exerting force and attacking the enemy's vital points. So, will the outcome of this battle be in doubt? "

"No suspense, right?"

"What's more, Bai Ji, this child, is the most eager to learn even among the leaf class. He has mastered more spells and magic skills than magical girls at the same stage. The gap between you and her is greater than the gap between ordinary people and fighting masters. The gap is even bigger.”

The further Aso Maruka continued talking, the more personal thoughts were mixed into her words, so that a considerable part of the content was similar to talking to herself. But Lin Xiaolu had no intention of speaking. She just listened quietly. After hearing a certain sentence, her clenched fists gradually loosened.

——"Then why did you come to me?"

She said calmly, and the numbness in her words made her feel a little strange: "Anyway, according to what you said, there was no possibility of me beating her from the beginning. Since I can't beat your team, there is no need to participate in next year's competition. The assessment. Because it is such a dangerous assessment, and my half-heartedness will only cause trouble for others, right?"

"I didn't say that." Aso Maruka blinked.

"Then what do you want to say? Apologize? 'My disciple defeated you by bullying the younger one, and he is suspected of bullying'. Is that what you want to say?"

Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes slightly: "You called me out of the room to blow in the cold wind. My legs were shaking because of the cold, just to tell me this?"

"Isn't it possible?" Maroka Aso asked.

"Then go back to me, I don't need this kind of 'apology' at all."

Lin Xiaolu said one word at a time: "It was an honest competition between me and your disciple. I lost because I was too weak and my skills were not as good as others. If I lose, I lose. I am not that unworthy of losing."

"On the contrary, you, your disciple has clearly won, so you don't praise her and congratulate her, but you still pretend to be so hypocritical, saying that she was wrong, and come to 'apologise' to me? Who are you looking down on? When Am I a child who cries when someone bullies me?"

"Are you here to apologize to me? You are not here to apologize to me at all! You just want to sell face to Delphinium. Stop that face. It's really disgusting!"

"I'm telling you, I don't need to apologize at all. You are insulting the results of our competition!"

On the balcony that could not be covered by the lights, Lin Xiaolu's indignant words were also drowned by the wind and failed to reach other places. However, Aso Maruka, who was standing in front of her, heard clearly.

These words showed no respect for the "senior". It could even be said that they did not give her any face. They just pointed at her face and scolded her as "hypocritical". Although the words were emotionally intense, the meaning was accurately conveyed. Here she is.

It's probably not unusual for ordinary people to get angry when being scolded so mercilessly by a child who is more than 20 years younger than themselves, but Aso Maruka was not like that.

The expression on her face was more of surprise and relief than anger.

"...It's really beyond my expectation. You think so."

She murmured: "Then it is indeed my fault. I tried to coax you as a naive child, instead of correcting my attitude and treating you as a real 'junior'."

Saying this, she bowed slightly, half-bowed to Lin Xiaolu very solemnly, and said in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't think well."

"I've already said it before, I don't want to see this kind of hypocritical etiquette."

Lin Xiaolu frowned: "If you don't have anything else to say, then I'll go back first."

"That's still true. Of course I'm here to find you, not just to say nice things on the surface."

Aso Maruka straightened up, smoothed back her hair, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that. I originally wanted to comfort you first, but I didn't expect that the flattery hit the horse's leg. It was really a mistake."

"So?" Lin Xiaolu looked at her angrily, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Because I really want to know what Anya's child will be like after becoming a magical girl."

Aso Maruka looked at her gently, "Although I hugged you when you were born, after all, I haven't seen you for so many years, so I am still very curious."

"Disappointed?" Lin Xiaolu asked lightly.

"No, I'm very satisfied." Aso Maruka laughed.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but choke.

"Haha, after all, he unexpectedly has a very cute character, but he is more like your father than your mother."

Maruka Aso touched her chin and said: "How should I put it? It seems like someone has offended me all day long. He is either cold or unhappy. He is just carved out of the same mold. "

"You call this kind of personality 'cute'?" Lin Xiaolu was a little dumbfounded.

"Isn't it cute?"

Aso Maruka tilted her head and looked at her: "At least both me and your mother like it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been born."

"I always think your statement sounds a little strange..."

"Oh, but there are still shadows of your mother in some places. At least I can't think of what you said to me just now... The emotion in my heart is almost overflowing."

Maruka Aso pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes and stretched out a hand: "Come here, sister, let me touch you."

"Teasing a puppy? I don't want it!"

Lin Xiaolu quickly took a step back: "It's so disgusting! Can you say something serious!"

"Don't touch it?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiaolu shouted.

"You can go to school and show off to your classmates, like 'Ms. Mary touched my head and I didn't wash my hair for three days'..." Maruka Aso suggested.

"That sounds disgusting!"

"That's why I want to touch it. Come on, let me touch it, sister."

"It's not enough to make an honest request." Lin Xiaolu continued to retreat while making a cross in front of her with both hands.

"Oh, what a pity."

Seeing Lin Xiaolu's refusal in every possible way, Aso Maranka couldn't continue to insist, so she could only sigh and give up: "Then let's talk about business."

Having said this, the atmosphere that had just relaxed a little bit became a little heavier again.

Lin Xiaolu stared at the woman in front of her whom she had just met for a day. She was quite uncomfortable with this sudden change of face. I just feel that I can't see any specific emotions from the other person's face, and I don't know what the other person wants to do.

She could only swallow subconsciously and wait for the other party's words.

"I just mentioned that you have been stuck at the species level. Although you are somewhat trying to save others by yourself, you should be anxious about this matter now, right?" Maroka Aso asked.

"You have a way to make me more capable?" Lin Xiaolu looked at her suspiciously.

"No, of course I'm not that capable. After all, even Delphinium doesn't know why you haven't been able to bloom."

Aso Maruka shrugged: "However, I have another proposal."

"What proposal?" The topic involved what she was most concerned about, and Lin Xiaolu's questions became a little more urgent.

"That is to say, in your current state anyway, you can't awaken your magic equipment, and you can't learn any spells. Being idle like this is just idleness..."

Aso Maruka smiled again. This smile was ordinary to her, but it looked quite charming when matched with her face: "Do you want to learn how to do it with me?"

Chapter 203 Small talk

The weekend passed quickly.

Even though the increasingly cold weather makes people more and more reluctant to go out, most people still have to go out of their homes to continue their work due to livelihood constraints.

Lin Yun was naturally one of the people who had to go to work.

Although he has become a magical girl again and does not have any pressure to make a living, but as the director of Fangting City's Secret Strategy Bureau, at this time of crisis and turmoil, he must take charge of the overall situation.

——"Then, let's set off first."

At the entrance of the villa, Delphinium and Aso Maruka stood together and told the girls behind them: "Bo Xue, remember to entertain the guests well. Xiaojin and Baimei have to go to class, so I'm leaving it to you." , if you have any questions, you can call me and ask me.”

"Okay." Bai Jingxuan nodded.

"White thistle, wood lily, mimosa."

Delphinium called the names of several magical girls in Bai'an City and tilted her head to the side: "I have given you the spare key to this stronghold. You can come in and out at will. I hope you have fun in this city. We are not You are forced to carry out the task of expelling the beasts, but you are also welcome to give some help. "

Seeing several girls nodding in agreement, Delphinium stopped talking and left here with Aso Maruka.

Today, she had to take her old teammate to the Foreign Strategy Bureau, and the reason she gave for the girls' doubts was that "the two of us went out to do something together."

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy all the magical girls, but they had no intention of continuing to ask, so they were fooled by it.

Because the destination was the Foreign Strategy Bureau, both of them were dressed very formally. Needless to say, Lin Yun himself was always well-dressed on workdays. Aso Maruka also put on a women's suit, wore a pair of sunglasses, and tied her conspicuous long hair into a bun. She looked like a strong working woman.

In order to prevent any mistakes in hiding her identity, Delphinium transformed into Lin Yun early on. The car she drove was not the car assigned to "Delphinx" by the Special Strategy Bureau, but Maruka Aso's car to ensure that it would not attract others. doubt.

——"So, Lulu agreed?"

While driving, Lin Yun saw that there was no movement in the traffic ahead for a long time. It was obviously a traffic jam, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic and asked Aso Maroka, "I see that her mood is obviously much better this morning."

"Friend, it seems that you don't understand my communication skills. If I take charge, do you still need to say this kind of thing?"

Aso Maranka yawned: "Don't worry, she agreed. I will teach her when I am free in the evening."

She looked bleary-eyed and looked like she would fall asleep at any moment. She didn't know whether it was because she went to bed too late the night before or because she was not used to getting up early in the morning.

"What about her ability Kaihua? Did you see anything?"

Lin Yun frowned slightly: "Is there any possibility of solving it in the short term?"
