After get off work, I become a magical girl

Countless questions arose in my mind, questions turned into confusion, confusion turned into anxiety, and then turned into anger.

Now nearly forty years old, Lin Yun has rarely felt such intense anger in his life. It seemed as if it was about to burst out of his chest and burn his brain to a blank.

He couldn't understand.

Why is this magical girl Lin Xiaolu? His daughter?

Not in the mood to continue watching the news, Lin Yun put down the communicator in his hand. He felt his thoughts were confused and his emotions were difficult to calm down.

——I have to go and have a good talk with her.

This thought came to his mind.

Even though he and his daughter Lin Xiaolu have been in a cold war for a long time and they hardly say a few words to each other on a daily basis, he still needs to fulfill his duties as a father and have a good talk with her.

If she volunteers to become a magical girl, she should be told the pros and cons and allowed to make the decision.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yun suddenly stood up and walked straight to his daughter's room.

【Knock on the door first】

There was a note like this on the door.

Familiar words. When was this note first posted on the door of my daughter’s room?

In the two years since his wife passed away, there have been too many conflicts between father and daughter, and he has always been bad at expressing himself, so that the relationship has finally come to this point.

The two of them were clearly family members who depended on each other for survival, but they barely spoke to each other for the entire day. Even if they did, it was just the most basic daily routine, without any heart-to-heart conversation.

Lin Yun paused with his finger on the door, then took a deep breath and knocked forward:

"Are you asleep, Lulu?"

There was no response from the room.

Feeling a little depressed, Lin Yun waited for a while, quickly calmed down, and knocked on the door again.

But, still no response.

The gentle knock on the door disappeared without a trace like a stone sinking into a deep pool.

Lin Yun lowered his head, looking slightly gloomy.

If it were any other day, he would have given up by now. He would have felt that things were irreversible and that they should keep enough distance between each other and let time heal the gap.

However, this time it won't work. Even if it will further deteriorate the relationship between him and his child, he still has to convey what he wants to say.

So he won't stop.

Click.

Just as he was about to knock for the third time, the door in front of him was suddenly opened.

A young girl in pajamas stared at him unhappily and said as soon as they met:

"Awake, what for?"

The alert look is like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Seeing his daughter's uncooperative attitude again, and thinking that he had come to talk to her out of concern, Lin Yun felt annoyed and annoyed. He just thought that this girl was so annoying and he should really give her a good scolding.

But when the words came to his lips, he stopped.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

Ask your daughter directly if she is going to be a magical girl? And then scold her for doing something that is considered a good deed in the eyes of everyone?

Or should you tell her straight away about the dangers of magical girls as soon as you meet her, so that she can give up immediately?

Putting aside how he would come up with evidence to support his statement, would stating everything so directly touch the child's fragile and sensitive nerves?

Taking a step back, it was a long-lost conversation. As a father, was it really appropriate to deny his child as soon as they met? He wanted to know his daughter's true thoughts, but was his daughter really willing to confide in him? Could he really achieve his goal through such a harsh conversation?

How can I make my children believe in myself now?

No matter how you think about it, the answer is that you can’t do it.

Lin Yun couldn't help but start thinking, what exactly did he want to tell her? Putting aside these external contradictions and the accumulated alienation, he wanted to know his daughter's true thoughts, so what about his sincerity?

He was thinking a lot under his daughter's gaze, but in the end, all his thoughts became nothingness, and only one voice remained:

"We haven't seen each other for several days. Dad wants to see you."

This was his only true heart left after discarding unnecessary emotions such as anger, anxiety, worry, and guilt.

He might not be able to make his daughter happy, and he might not be able to solve the problems between them, but at least now, he wanted to see her.

After learning that his daughter has become a magical girl, he now wants to see if the child is okay, if she is scared, and if she is emotionally stable.

When the girl standing at the door heard this, her frowned brows raised slightly, then relaxed, and her expression became complicated.

"Now? Just for something like this?"

"Well, because I was afraid you would get angry if I called you in the morning."

Lin Yun forced a smile on his wooden face: "Now that I've seen it, I feel much more relieved."

The black-haired girl raised her nose and sniffed, pursed her lips, and after a while, she stammered and said:

"Are you drunk?"

"Maybe? After all, I drank quite a lot tonight."

Lin Yun followed his inner feelings and said frankly: "Dad, I am really happy that you are willing to open the door."

"...Now that you have seen me, what next?" The daughter still frowned.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how you've been doing lately and whether you're happy at school."

Lin Yun stood there and waved his hand: "I won't ask you about studying. You should take charge of it yourself. I have no right to tell you."

The conversation between the two paused again.

The daughter seemed a little surprised that her father asked such a question. She looked at him strangely. After a while, she answered nonchalantly:

"Oh, it's normal, nothing happened."

"It seems like there's a dangerous incident near your school. Is everything okay?"

"Danger... It's nothing. I can handle it."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

"Just do your thing."

"How about the phone I bought you for your birthday last month?"

"Good."

"Is the dinner cooked by the hourly worker okay?"

"No problem, Aunt Liu is a good cook."

"Has anything good happened recently?"

"Good thing?"

The daughter raised her eyebrows when she heard this, seeming a little confused, but soon, as if she had thought of something, her expression became a little hesitant.

"I don't know, but nothing bad will happen anyway."

Nothing bad...

Lin Yun's heart moved slightly.

"Really? Then I have nothing else to ask."

Hearing his daughter's somewhat ambiguous answer, he seemed to be relieved and took a step back: "Lulu, Daddy is sorry for you."

This sentence was met with a brief silence.

"…It's too late to say these words now."

The girl behind the door whispered, glanced at him again, lowered her brows and began to push the door:

"Go to bed and stop bothering me."

Click.

The door in front of me was closed.

Lin Yun, standing outside the door, didn't know what he was thinking. He stopped for a long time before walking towards his bedroom.

In the end, he still failed to bring up the topic of "magical girls".

He couldn't say it, couldn't ask. Whenever he wanted to mention this word, his throat would become extremely dry.

However, not saying it now does not mean that he has given up.

During the conversation just now, Lin Yun had already thought of another way in his mind. Perhaps, in that way, he could tell his daughter some information about the magical girl and be sure that his daughter would take it seriously.

Opening the door to his bedroom, he undressed from his formal suit, put down his briefcase, and walked towards the closet in the corner of the room with a burning gaze.

There are two wardrobes in the master bedroom, one for storing clothes of the two owners. One is very large and placed on the wall, and the other is very small and tucked in the corner.

Lin Yun doesn’t have many clothes. Apart from a few sets of casual men’s wear that he often wears, he only has formal suits for office scenes.

He opened one of the drawers, which was filled with some old clothes. Many of them were what he wore when he was young, but now their styles no longer matched his age and were not in line with the fashion trends.

After removing the clothes on top, he slowly reached out and took out a palm-sized gift box.

"…19 years."

He sighed in a trance.

He had hidden the box despite his wife's objection, and never thought that there would be a day when he would take it out again. At that time, he just felt that his life was perfect and everything was settled, and he had no reason to take out the things in the box again.

However, after so many years, it was not until today, when he learned that his daughter had become a magical girl, that he realized that escape would never solve the problem.

He gently opened the buckle of the box and lifted the tight lid. He looked at the items inside for a long time without saying a word.

It was a crackle gem flower.

A gem covered with fine textures and stained with dust.

It has another name, people always call it "heart flower".

And in this world, there is only one kind of person who can possess this kind of rare treasure.
