After get off work, I become a magical girl

This plan is the most logically flawless, but it is difficult to implement - he set the incoming call tone of his mobile phone to ringtone and vibration, just to prevent himself from ignoring the calls.

Even if he could turn the volume of his phone to zero, the vibration sound was still hard to ignore in this restaurant where there were not many people.

The second option is to answer the call, but cover the speaker of the Delphinium phone with your hand so that your voice will not be received by the phone; then take out Lin Yun’s phone and pretend that you have received a call from someone else.

The logical loopholes of this plan are also not big, but it is more difficult to operate. First of all, he cannot ensure that he can completely cover the mouthpiece, and the slightest sound leakage will be exposed; secondly, doing so will make his movements very strange, with his right hand inserted inside the coat, and his left hand reaching to the right to touch the phone to answer the call, which looks strange no matter how you look at it.

The last method is to hang up the phone directly, then use Lin Yun’s phone to call Cuique, and if Xia Liang calls, he will only get the prompt "call in progress".

This was simple to do, and he could even say that it would succeed as long as he wanted to. But there was a huge logical loophole: he couldn't explain why Xia Liang's call was hung up when his ringing stopped.

Just as he was making a decision in his mind, Xia Liang had already taken action.

She held the phone to her ear and tilted her head to look at Lin Yun, her eyes filled with confusion and inquiry: "Uncle, aren't you going to answer the phone?"

Lin Yun knew that there was no time to delay.

"Well, thank you for reminding me. I was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention."

He first answered expressionlessly, trying to distract Xia Liang's attention with the conversation; at the same time, he began to fumble on the side of the phone, trying to find the volume button, thinking of at least turning off the ringtone first.

In his opinion, since several plans have been listed out, it does not mean that they cannot be used together. He can just deal with them one by one and act according to circumstances. He should still have a chance to fool them.

"That's really weird... Let's hang up and try."

However, before he could take any other action, Xia Liang was already muttering to himself, tapping the screen of his mobile phone lightly with his finger.

As she made this move, the ringing in the restaurant stopped after a while.

The empty restaurant returned to silence, except for the mall aisle outside the window which was still filled with exclamations and screams. The glass partition of the store became a boundary, dividing the inside and outside of the restaurant into two worlds: outside, the crowds were pushing and shoving, noisy and spreading panic; inside, it was cold and deserted, you could hear a pin drop, and full of embarrassment.

There is no doubt that Xia Liang just pressed the hang up button.

After this series of operations, she first held the phone virtually and looked at Lin Yun, blinking innocently, and then asked in astonishment: "Ah, it really stopped?"

Lin Yun looked at the undecorated ceiling in the restaurant and let out a long sigh.

He dropped his hands to his chest in surrender.

"Uncle, you have someone else's cell phone on you."

As if aware of the situation, Xia Liang showed a mischievous smile even though he was trying to restrain himself: "Although it's a little jumpy to ask this, it should be the person I'm thinking of, right?"

"You guessed right." Lin Yun admitted it bluntly with a calm voice.

"Why is Senior... No, Senior Delphinium's cell phone in your possession?"

After getting Lin Yun's answer, Xia Liang seemed even more confused: "I remember that the young senior used his mobile phone at my house last night..."

"We know each other and I found her phone at my house this morning."

Lin Yun opened his mouth somewhat numbly, and threw out an improvised excuse in vain: "Although it's not what you think, we do maintain a certain contact."

"I went to see my uncle in the middle of the night, and then I left my phone at your house..."

Xia Liang opened his mouth gradually: "In other words, you two are really in that kind of relationship?"

"I don't know what kind of relationship you are talking about, but I don't think so." Lin Yun closed his eyes.

"Uncle, even if both parties are willing, it is still illegal to have such a relationship with a child, right?"

Frowning, Xia Liang said in a serious tone, "Besides, Senior Cuique is so cute, how could you bear to do something bad to her?"

"…I've already said that we're not that kind of relationship. We just have some intersections because of Lulu and the magical girl thing."

Lin Yun sighed helplessly: "Besides, she should have told you, right? She is much older than you, and is the same age as me."

"That's not OK."

Xia Liang pouted and said with a rare displeasure: "Even if you are all adults, I still think you shouldn't do that. You are also very sorry to Xiaolu, right?"

"Student, I can assure you that it is not what you think."

Lin Yun suppressed his inner embarrassment, put on a serious look, and defended himself seriously: "I know you care about Lulu, and I also know that Lulu is not very accepting of having a... uh, stepmother. So there is really no emotional relationship between me and the 'Centicorn Senior' you mentioned."

"Really?" Xia Liang asked doubtfully.

"If I have to say, she actually has a closer relationship with Lulu's mother."

In order to divert her attention, Lin Yun explained half-truthfully: "If you want to know this, I will tell you on the way back."

"Her mother? You mean..." Xia Liang wanted to ask more, but was forced to stop when the words came to his lips.

Because at this moment, Lin Yun's chest and the phone in her hand vibrated at the same time.

Picking up the phone, Xia Liang found that it was Lin Xiaolu who sent a message in the Magical Girls Team group:

【@Xiaojin: What on earth are you doing? Come here quickly! 】

[@翠雀: There is a beast attack at Jinbao Shopping Plaza in Luoming District. Are you free now, 翠雀? Ah, don't worry. ]

"…It seems we can't continue the conversation."

After reading the information on the screen, Xia Liang lowered his hands and smiled helplessly: "Then uncle, if you can contact Senior Cuique, can you let her know? After all, she told us to notify her as long as there are residual beasts."

Although she was full of doubts, she finally knew what was more important: she could find out some gossip about the family affairs later, but expelling the remaining beasts was her top priority.

"I will."

Seeing that there was finally a chance to end this awkward conversation, Lin Yun chose to stop without hesitation. He raised his eyes to meet Xia Liang's, and nodded pretentiously, "Hong Siyou should be able to contact her."

"Phew, let's talk about the rest when we get back."

After letting out a breath, Xia Liang put away his phone and waved at Lin Yun: "As for what happened before, I will take it as the truth, uncle."

"It's all true." Lin Yun had a blank expression on his face. "Just don't exaggerate it with Lulu."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Xiaolu."

Xia Liang smiled mischievously and said, "I know. After all, if I tell her this, who knows what she will think of."

Lin Yun thought to himself that what he said just now was just nonsense, but he didn't argue any more. He just watched Xia Liang leave the restaurant in silence.

Watching the girl jogging away, he leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh, his tense nerves finally relaxing a little.

Forget it, let’s put all these things aside and think about where to transform first, he thought to himself.

Chapter 60 A Promise Fulfilled

2023-04-30

The remnant beast that attacked the shopping mall was large, but not very strong.

According to Delphinium's observation, this crippled beast is a relatively common cracked-skin type, and she has taught many techniques to deal with this type of crippled beast; and in terms of individual ability, it is only stronger among the egg level.

Although such a crippled beast was more than capable of destroying a shopping mall, it was still somewhat wishful thinking for it to cope with the joint attack of two magical girls.

What's more, Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu are no longer the rookies they were two months ago.

Not to mention Xia Liang, who has been approaching the bud level in recent days, Lin Xiaolu has also made rapid progress in her hard study and practice. In addition, the cooperation between the two has been initially formed, at least they will not hinder each other anymore, so there is no suspense in this battle from the beginning.

As Xia Liang shot out a beam of magic from the tip of his wand, the pierced beast fell heavily to the ground.

Delphinium hid in the dark alone, watching the entire battle quietly, with a look of relief on her face.

I am happy for the growth of the two newcomers, and I am relieved that the relationship between them is gradually being smoothed over.

After confirming that the remaining beast had been knocked down and the echo had been collected, she secretly left again and returned to where she parked.

The reason she couldn't show up this time was because she had asked Hong Si to tell the two newcomers that she couldn't come because of something else. If she suddenly showed up at this time and met Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, the misunderstanding that had not been completely resolved before would be even more difficult to clarify, which was something she didn't want to see.

So, she took the shortest route back to the parking lot, then immediately got into the car and turned back into Lin Yun's appearance.

After driving out of the garage, he parked the car on the side of the road, first contacted Hong Siyu and asked the Yi Ce Bureau to send someone to the scene to deal with the aftermath; then he opened the map with Lin Yun's mobile phone and shared his location with Lin Xiaolu. After doing all this, he stood by the car and waited.

About ten minutes later, he saw two girls walking out of the shopping mall unharmed.

He raised the corners of his mouth and waved to them. Lin Xiaolu nodded somewhat uncomfortably, and Xia Liang responded with a sweet smile.

"Well done, I'm proud of you."

After some simple encouragement and praise, he continued, "The Strategy Bureau will be here soon. Get in the car. I'll take you back."

This had already been agreed upon beforehand, so the two girls got in the car. The three of them did not stay for long as the car slowly drove away from the shopping mall.

The car drove for some distance, but no one spoke during this time.

Lin Yun and Lin Xiaolu remained silent, and Xia Liang just sat there with a smile watching the strange atmosphere between them, without speaking to mediate.

——"So, when did you know about me becoming a magical girl?"

Finally, Lin Xiaolu, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked first: "The day when the woman named Hong Siyu came? Or earlier?"

"The day you appeared on TV." Lin Yun looked straight ahead and told the truth.

"Huh? I was on TV...wasn't it discovered within a few days?"

Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, so that's why you suddenly said something inexplicable that night?"

"Do you think I'm drunk?" Lin Yun raised his eyebrows.

"Is not it?"

"…That night at dinner, Hong Siyu came directly to me and told me that you had become a magical girl."

Without further nagging about this topic, Lin Yun glanced at the rearview mirror and explained calmly: "However, this is only part of the reason. What I said the other day, 'I wanted to see you', was also true."

"See if your daughter becomes an alien after becoming a magical girl?" Lin Xiaolu said unhappily.

"I want to see if my daughter is still as cute after becoming a magical girl."

Lin Yun made a joke indifferently: "Besides, even if you become an alien, you are still my daughter, and this will not change."

Leaning back, Lin Xiaolu leaned straight on the back of the chair and snorted softly: "Just take it as the truth."

She chose to let it go, and the issue was resolved.

The cars moved forward a distance in silence.

"But, Lulu, I was actually very angry that night."

Not long after, Lin Yun suddenly spoke again: "When I saw you become a magical girl, I was really worried, and even a little sad."

"Why?" Staring at the driver's seat in front of her, Lin Xiaolu frowned as if she could see the man with his back to her.
