After get off work, I become a magical girl

The plan in his mind was actually very simple: rush into the crowd outside with the two girls, and then pretend to be lost, so as to give them enough space to move, and he could also find a place to transform secretly.

In the middle, he used Lin Yun's phone to call Lin Xiaolu's number twice to show his concern and prevent being exposed. After the remaining beasts were dealt with, he contacted them again: saying that they were separated and agreed to meet at a place.

In this way, both parties do not need to reveal each other's identities, and they can leave enough room for explanation if anything goes wrong afterwards.

However, the two girls were unaware of his plans.

Although there are some differences in details, their ideas are actually the same: as magical girls, they should not choose to escape when faced with attacks from brutal beasts and innocent people suffering.

So even after hearing his words, they still sat in their seats with complicated expressions.

Chapter 58 Daughter's Confession

2023-04-30

"Hurry up, the remaining beasts should have started to move, there is no time!" Amid the chaos, Mo Ke on the side urged.

All the customers in the restaurant had crowded at the door, and there was almost a stampede in the corridor outside. Amid the noise, Xia Liang spoke.

"Sorry, uncle, Xiaolu."

She looked apologetic and smiled politely, "I, may not be able to escape like this."

"Don't be willful, you now..." Lin Yun was about to persuade him, but he was forced to stop when the words came to his lips, because Xia Liang's next action was beyond his expectation.

In front of the two men, she took out a round gem from her pocket without any hesitation.

The gem exuded a hibiscus purple glow, and its entire body was round and flawless, flickering unsteadily in the eyes of her and the others.

And everyone present knew that this was her heart seed.

"Uncle, I'm a magical girl."

Xia Liang spread out his palm, placed the Heart Seed in the center, and looked at him seriously: "If I leave now, there will be no one to repel the remaining beasts."

Lin Xiaolu on the side looked at her in astonishment. It took her a lot of effort to realize Xia Liang's intention. She wanted to say something, but saw Xia Liang winking at her.

——It is enough for me to confess alone.

She understood that this was what Xia Liang wanted to express.

"Is this a toy? Now is not the time to joke around!"

Lin Yun continued to pretend he didn't know and wanted to help her, but Xia Liang didn't give him the chance. With a flash of light, the Heart Seed in her hand flew up with a scattered stream of magic power that even ordinary people could see.

She didn't transform on the spot, there were just other people around her.

"You, are actually a magical girl..."

Now, even Lin Yun didn't know how to react and could only recite the boring lines mechanically.

In this situation, there was actually nothing wrong with Xia Liang's behavior: one of the three people had to take action immediately, and since neither Lin Xiaolu nor Lin Yun wanted to reveal their identities, she had to take the initiative to make everything clear.

There was really no need for her to hide her identity from Lin Yun. After all, Lin Yun was Lin Xiaolu's father and had no deep connection with her. In this case, even revealing her true identity would not be a problem.

Although this was the truth, Lin Yun was still caught off guard by her ability to make a decision so quickly.

In fact, this can also be regarded as his cognitive bias.

Based on his own experience, exposing his true identity is indeed a very serious matter, but he subconsciously overlooked one point: in terms of true identity, other magical girls are different from him.

They concealed their identities only to protect their personal privacy, unlike him, who was completely afraid to let strangers know their true identities.

Xia Liang confessed his identity but did not let Lin Xiaolu speak out, because he planned to deal with the remaining beasts himself and thus provide cover for Lin Xiaolu.

Lin Yun could also guess what she was thinking and knew there was no need to persuade her any further.

So he turned to look at Lin Xiaolu: "Then Lulu, let's..."

"dad."

Without responding to his words, Lin Xiaolu first glared at Xia Liang, then took a deep breath and suddenly shouted.

This was the first time she had properly pronounced the title since the conflict between father and daughter two years ago.

For Lin Yun, this is also a long-lost title.

If he had heard his daughter call out like this on any other day, he would have been very happy - in fact, he is still the same now - but at this critical moment, he knew what it meant when his daughter said this word.

"Thank you for pretending not to know, but it's no longer necessary now."

She turned to look at Lin Yun and said calmly, "I have to go because I am also a magical girl."

After saying that, she also stretched out her hand and spread out her palm.

A light blue heart seed lay there, exactly the same as Xia Liang's except for the color.

Long before this, she had already understood that her identity as a magical girl might not be a secret. The reason she didn't admit it to Lin Yun was because she felt that the time was not right yet and she still needed courage.

And now, at this moment, she has made a decision.

Lin Yun sat back in his chair.

The attacking position of the crippled beast was some distance away from here, so there was no need to flee in a hurry. The evacuation notice issued by the Strategy Bureau was just to prevent any disaster, and the panic of other customers was simply due to their fear of the crippled beast.

The two magical girls were right in front of him. Even if he was just an ordinary person, there was no need to consider things like "prevention". It would be unreasonable to act so frightened.

He glanced at the two girls in front of him, and the remaining nervousness on his face faded away, turning into helplessness: "...Have you decided?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiaolu nodded seriously.

"It can only be us." Xia Liang repeated again.

"...Ah, you two."

Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't you just follow me out and pretend to get separated? It's not like we're at our wits' end yet. I've been hiding my identity for so long. Is it really okay to just give up so easily now?"

"What? You knew that a long time ago, didn't you?"

Lin Xiaolu drooped her eyelids and muttered, "You pretended so convincingly that it made it so hard for me to act."

Shaking his head, Lin Yun did not reply.

"Do you need us to leave someone behind to take you out first?" Xia Liang suddenly suggested, "It's not safe to walk out like this."

"You all went to fight the monsters, what danger could there be on my side?"

Lin Yun waved his hand at her and said, "We adults can rely on this little girl to defend against the enemy, but there is no reason for us to ask you to come and protect her."

"Go ahead. Aren't you in a hurry? If you have anything to say, wait until you come back. I only have one request for you."

He turned his head, looked at Lin Xiaolu seriously, and said earnestly: "No matter what, be careful."

It was not through Cuiqiao's mouth, but the first time he said this to Lin Xiaolu as a father.

However, compared to when he first learned that Lin Xiaolu had become a magical girl, the mentality of both parties has changed.

It has been nearly two months since my daughter became a magical girl. During these two months, I have seen all the efforts she has made to become stronger.

Perhaps the identity of a magical girl is indeed dangerous, but it is also the only way for ordinary people to obtain real magical power. It is also a precious opportunity that countless magicians desire.

She has already embarked on this path, so my only option is to help her walk more steadily and go further.

Lin Xiaolu didn't answer again.

She looked at Lin Yun deeply, her eyes swept over Mo Ke and Xia Liang, then turned and ran out of the restaurant.

Mo Ke followed closely behind, while Xia Liang smiled at Lin Yun before catching up with them.

Lin Yun gestured goodbye in return and sat there without moving. He planned to wait until they left and then find a deserted corner to transform into a delphinium to ensure that someone would cover the two newcomers.

However, just as he was thinking this in his mind, Xia Liang in front of him suddenly stopped.

——"Ah, now that I think about it, I almost forgot."

She stood at the door of the restaurant, took out her cell phone as if she remembered something, and searched through her address book:

"Just in case, let's call the young senior first."

She said these words lightly, but at the same time, Lin Yun, who was still pretending, remembered a very crucial thing that he had always forgotten: Cuique's cell phone was on him, and...

No shutdown.

Thinking that something was wrong, he subconsciously reached for the inside pocket of his coat, but he could no longer catch up with Xia Liang's movements.

Before his hand touched the outline of the phone, he saw Xia Liang raise his eyelids slightly, obviously having found Cuiqiao's phone number.

He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he knew that even his voice would not be able to stop Xia Liang.

She smiled sweetly, and he smiled bitterly. Then, as she pressed the call button on the screen, a few seconds later, Lin Yun looked at his chest stiffly.

A pleasant ringtone rang out from here, lingering and echoing throughout the already empty restaurant.

I would like to recommend my friend’s book, “Please Don’t Come to Me Again”, a daily novel written by Big Eyes.

Chapter 59 Mobile Phone Troubles

2023-04-30

Ever since Lin Yun disguised himself as Cuiqiao in front of his daughter, it has become his habit to carry two mobile phones with him.

In order to avoid being discovered when using the phone, he even consulted the female clerk in the flagship store before buying the phone. Taking her advice, he deliberately chose a phone case to make the "Delphinium phone" look more feminine.

There are only three contacts on this phone, namely Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang and Hong Siyu.

In order to be able to contact them in time when the beasts appear or there are emergencies, Lin Yun does not deliberately turn off his mobile phone or switch it to silent mode. He only changes it to vibrate mode when he is at work.

The same is true today.

When he went out in the morning, he deliberately took Delphinium's cell phone out of the pocket of his formal suit and carried it with him, ensuring that Delphinium's identity and communication with the two girls were smooth enough.

However, he did not expect at that time that the two little girls had followed him at some point and followed him all the way to the shopping mall.

At first, he was concentrating on acting to deceive Mo Ke; after meeting the two girls, he began to try to smooth things over for them in this awkward situation; then, when shopping, he was immersed in the sentimentality of this special day, so much so that he completely forgot that there was such a time bomb in his inner pocket of his shirt.

The result is now: the clear ringtone made Xia Liang move his eyes over, and he reached into his shirt, holding the phone, not knowing whether he should take it out or not.

In just a few seconds, several plans flashed through Lin Yun's mind:

The first method is to quickly turn the volume of Delphinium's phone to the minimum, then take out your own phone and pretend that you just happened to receive a call.
