After get off work, I become a magical girl

——Magical girl.

Chapter 4 Unknown Call

2023-04-30

Lin Yun and Anya are childhood sweethearts.

The two were in the same class when they were very young and became friends. Anya was a very lively and playful girl, so gender did not become an obstacle to their friendship. They had a very good relationship and were inseparable.

Later, there was a short period of time when the two grew up and entered puberty. They began to realize the difference in gender and their relationship became a little strange. And because they were not in the same school after entering college, their relationship began to become a little distant.

Until one day, an incident caused Anya to reappear in Lin Yun's life and turned everything upside down.

——Anya became a magical girl.

She rescued Lin Yun and the people around him from the sudden danger and appeared in front of him like a majestic angel.

Strong, stoic, beautiful.

His childhood playmate became out of reach, so different from the naughty tomboy in his memory that he even felt a little strange about her.

But Anya was very happy because she felt she had a friend with whom she could share secrets. This friend was her childhood sweetheart from whom she had become somewhat estranged. The two of them got back together, which was killing two birds with one stone.

But being a magical girl is not an easy identity. The beasts in the city are increasing in number and becoming stronger and stronger, until one day, Anya is completely unable to cope with the successive enemies.

Lin Yun stepped forward at that time, and thus, he also became a magical girl.

Later, after going through many things, they met more partners and experienced more dangerous battles, but they persisted in the end and even became heroes who saved the city.

In the end, as an adult, Lin Yun gave up the power and identity of a magical girl and returned to an ordinary life.

It can be said to be ordinary, but not that ordinary, after all, his wife is a magical girl.

He is married to Anya.

The two lived a very loving life, had a lovely daughter, and enjoyed the happiness of family life. Everything was natural, and the hero who saved others from the crisis returned to the countryside and returned to a peaceful and happy life.

That's how it should be.

“It should have been…”

On a crowded and busy morning, Lin Yun was squeezed in the crowd on the tram, looking at the scenery outside the window with a numb face as usual.

A week has passed since I found out my daughter had become a magical girl.

Perhaps because he expressed his true feelings for the first time in a long time that night, Lin Yun felt that the atmosphere between him and Lin Xiaolu was a little better. At least when the two of them were together at home, his daughter would look at him symbolically instead of ignoring him and treating him as air as she did when their relationship was at its worst.

In this way, it can be considered a small step towards repairing the father-daughter relationship.

He was still somewhat relieved.

As for the safety of his daughter when she became a magical girl, he chose to keep in touch with Hong Si and let the other party pay attention to it in the background of an official and try to put Lin Xiaolu's safety first.

Lin Yun probably also felt that Hong Si had some romantic feelings for him, so he took the initiative to contact her but never mentioned the matter, which made him look like a scumbag. He wanted to clarify this relationship.

But Hong Siyu kept denying it, saying that she couldn't even remember what nonsense she said when she was drunk that day, and asked him not to take it seriously.

The matter was left alone.

As for what Lin Yun did after taking out the heart flower that night.

He wanted to try to transform.

The identity of a magical girl had long become a distant memory for him, and the feeling of fighting and even killing the cruel beasts had long been forgotten by him. He could hardly remember what it felt like to fight.

Did I, in the past, actually fight against such monsters as if it were my habit?

This thought arises unconsciously in my mind.

In fact, although he has retired, he has not completely lost the power of the magical girl in a strict sense. No matter what the problem is, at least he should still be able to transform.

However, that night, the attempt to transform failed.

He touched the heart flower, but received no response.

The dusty heart flower was like a truly dead object, with no changes at all.

This made Lin Yun feel unsure whether to be relieved or worried.

He was thankful because he seemed to have no power left, and many of the thoughts that had been tormenting him in his mind had been somewhat resolved. He was worried because he had lost his power and might not be able to help his daughter when she encountered a crisis that was difficult to resolve.

Therefore, I can't use my identity as a magical girl to tell my daughter something.

Yes, he once wanted to approach his daughter as a magical girl.

As a father, I cannot tell her in person, and even if I say it, she may not believe it. But as a "senior magical girl", I have enough position and reason to say it.

Tell her the dangers of being a magical girl.

Tell her what this power means.

Tell her who the enemies are.

Tell her how to make herself stronger so that she can better protect herself.

If this information was told by a senior who is also a magical girl herself, my daughter would have no reason not to take it seriously.

He had so many things he wanted to say to his daughter, but he didn't know how to start.

The silence of the Heart Flower made him give up the idea.

Whether she had lost her power, or was no longer qualified to be a magical girl, or for some other reason, it no longer mattered.

During this week, a group of beasts appeared in the city again. Fortunately, they were eliminated by Lin Xiaolu without any setbacks, and the subsequent damage was kept very small.

The only thing that surprised Lin Yun was that, unlike the last TV interview, there was little response from the media regarding this attack by the brutal beasts.

I don’t know if it’s because of the changing times, and the Strategy Bureau of this era has begun to take a low-key approach, or if people’s focus has shifted. In short, although the appearance of crippled beasts in the city has become somewhat frequent, and there is a new magical girl, it has not aroused widespread discussion among people.

The previous interview with the TV station was ignored after it was broadcast, and even the video he found on the Internet was quickly replaced by the subsequent updated content on the TV station’s official website.

Obviously, during the era when he played the role of a magical girl, both the media and the public liked to make magical girls the center of attention.

With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Lin Yun followed the crowd to the company and started another day of work.

It was still a familiar and tedious task, but perhaps because of a change in his mentality, he felt that the previous sense of anxiety had been weakened a lot.

He was busy until noon. After finishing his work lunch, Lin Yun, who was sitting in the office dealing with unfinished documents, suddenly received a call.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

Although he didn't know who it was, he still pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear:

"Hey?"

All I got was a hissing busy tone.

Frowning slightly, Lin Yun waited for two seconds and asked again:

"Hello? Who is it?"

"……careful."

"What did you say?"

"sizzle"

"Hey?"

"Be careful of the remaining beasts tonight."

This one sentence made Lin Yun's eyes widen.

"What do you mean? Who are you?"

He couldn't help but ask, but after saying just this one sentence, there was no sound from the other end of the call.

Soon, the hissing noise turned into a busy tone as the phone was hung up.

Chapter 5 Crisis

"Be careful of the remaining beasts tonight?"

This sentence made Lin Yun a little uneasy during his work for the whole afternoon.

The reason was simple, because this sentence revealed too much information, making it impossible for him to regard it as a simple harassing call or a prank.

His daughter was a magical girl, and this fact should not be known to anyone except himself and Hong Siyu; as for the fact that he himself was once a magical girl, it was probably only known to a few people. Moreover, he could confirm that the only people who knew this information were his companions, or former companions.

So, could this call be from Hong Siyu?

It was possible, but what reason did she have to play tricks and make such an anonymous call? As an official, Hong Siyu had promised him that she would take good care of her daughter. This topic could be discussed openly.

Adhering to the attitude of "better to believe it than not to believe it", he sent a message to Hong Siyu:

【You called me? 】

【？】This is the other party’s reply.

It doesn't seem to be her.

Several candidates flashed through his mind, but were rejected one by one. Lin Yun still had no clue.

So, was it just a prank call that went off by accident?

This possibility is actually not small, and can even be said to be very high. After all, many scam calls these days use this routine. Even if they are talking nonsense, as long as enough people are tried, there will always be a few who believe it for various reasons.

Lin Yun wanted to convince himself with this, but he just couldn't calm down.

In this way, time came to the evening. His worried look was seen by his subordinates who had worked with him for many years, and they even asked him if he had encountered any troubles. Lin Yun shook his head and did not share this topic that sounded like hysteria with him.

After taking the tram and returning home after dark, Lin Yun looked at the shoe cabinet in the entrance with concern. He was sure that his daughter's shoes were already there. He walked past the living room and saw the washed dishes in the kitchen sink. He walked to his daughter's room and saw the light coming through the crack in the door. All signs indicated that Lin Xiaolu was still at home.

This made Lin Yun feel somewhat relieved.

Even if some dangerous beasts appear, as long as my daughter is still at home, her safety is guaranteed.

Besides, when a crippled beast appeared, Hong Siyu had no reason not to inform him.
