After get off work, I become a magical girl

Just as the rabbit fairy's heartbeat gradually slowed down and he thought he had confirmed his failure, a change occurred.

At first, it was only a very faint light that leaked out from Lin Yun's fingers, like a few fireflies. After that, it became a trailing light, and then turned into a series of clear rays of light.

Rising from the boy's gradually spreading hands was a pure white light emitting a holy glow. It rotated together with the gem-like heart seed, hovering in the air, and finally merged.

In an instant, light burst out.

White light radiated from the surface of the Heart Seed, forming a halo that enveloped Lin Yun.

It was still not a very strong light, but like the bright moon in the sky, it was not dazzling, but enough to illuminate the night.

"Is this really...you...you, a kid, actually succeeded? Are you really a boy?"

The unprecedented fact shocked the rabbit fairy beside him, and he even said something he didn't know what to say: "Are you just kidding me because you look more like a boy?"

But the young man in the light ignored its trash talk, but raised his head and looked at the elf in front of him with a firm gaze, with fire shining in his eyes.

"What should I do next?"

——What should I do?

These words seem to transcend time and space.

Because this is also a problem that Lin Yun needs to consider now.

Under the cover of night, in the quiet and deserted parking lot of the wetland park, he found a place to park his car, followed a path and ran into the depths of the woods.

In fact, the answer to what to do was already there. His mood at this moment was very similar to that evening 22 years ago.

Maybe many things have changed, but many things have always been there. At least, the feeling of "must save important people" is exactly the same.

Can the flower of his heart still connect with such emotions?

He raised his hand with a hint of doubt.

——The broken gem flower in his hand had already been radiating a deep blue glow.

"...Alas, there is really nothing I can do about you, but now I can only try my best to save the situation."

In a trance, he seemed to be back under the sunset of that day.

After the rabbit fairy briefly expressed her shock, she quickly adjusted her mindset and began to instruct him in a serious manner:

"First, once you have established a connection with the Heart Seed, you should be able to feel the magic, which is the energy that serves as a bond between you and the Heart Seed."

"Now, all you need to do is use a simple flow of magic to activate it."

The boy nodded and closed his eyes again. While feeling it, he concluded in his mind:

The first step is to capture the magic.

"Divide your magic flow, connect your limbs, forehead and heart seed respectively, and then adjust them to balance each other."

The second step is to divert the magic power and then balance it.

"The next step is to construct a standard magic rune. Ah, if you don't know... look over here, I'll show you."

The third step is to construct standard magic runes.

"Finally, let's think of a transformation spell that can be used as the initial activation switch. Although it will be rarely used, don't think of something too weird. It's better to be cute, otherwise the country will censor it and order it to be changed."

Step 4: Determine the transformation spell.

Now that all the steps are completed, it’s time to transform.

The young boy in my memory and the middle-aged man at this moment seemed to overlap in an instant and exist here at the same time.

But, this is just an illusion after all.

With a heart full of passion and hope, and with new strength, the boy shouted an improvised spell of shame and set off towards the battlefield in the sky to save the girl he cared about.

The middle-aged man, whose passion has long cooled, is still here, alone.

He paused slightly, shook his head, cleared the distracting thoughts in his mind, and walked forward quickly again.

The light was shining, and the azure blue magic power exploded in his hands in an instant, sweeping around like a turbulent current, lifting the corners of his clothes and hair.

Without any unnecessary movements or sounds, he raised his hand and pressed the Heart Flower against his chest. Then, he coldly uttered two words:

"Change, body."

Chapter 7 Shadows in the Park

2023-04-30

Holding the magic wand tightly, the magical girl with golden twin ponytails soared high in the sky, gazing at the wetland forest under the night sky.

The park, which is lush and green and full of natural beauty during the day, now looks like a predator's open mouth in the darkness, waiting for its prey to enter.

This faint smell of danger made her feel a chill on her back and she couldn't help frowning.

"Xiao Lu, I have a bad feeling now."

A solemn voice sounded in his ears.

The one who said this was a strange animal that looked like a kitten. It was pink all over, covered with fur, and had a pair of small wings on its back, which made people think of a fairy in a fairy tale.

The fairy flew to the back of the girl, with a worried look on her face: "Although it's very faint, the remaining magic power around me makes my hair stand on end. I'm afraid the enemy this time is very dangerous."

“…Yes, I can feel it.”

The magical girl, or Lin Xiaolu, tried to put away the timidity in her heart and stared straight at the woods in the park below: "Although I can't explain it clearly, I also feel that it is very dangerous."

However, she did not stop her movements. She waved her wand and slowly landed on the grass in the park. Lin Xiaolu briefly checked the surrounding enemy situation to ensure the safety of the situation.

This operation did not yield any results, but a faint sense of uneasiness still lingered in her heart.

"Moko, can you still sense the enemy's position?"

She asked the pink fairy for help.

The fairy named "Moko" closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened them again: "No, I could clearly lock onto the enemy in this park before landing, but now I can't feel its exact location."

Lin Xiaolu was stunned: "Has this happened before?"

"I haven't seen it at all."

Mo Ke looked helpless: "I should have told you before, this is my first time in the material world as a fairy, so there are many things I don't understand."

"Moko...you are so useless."

"If you say something so hurtful to a fairy, I will be angry!"

The magic girl and the fairy walked slowly on the grass of the wetland park, paying attention to the clues around them. However, after nearly ten minutes, they had already approached the center of the park and still found nothing.

Mo Ke, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but speak again: "Xiao Lu, should we retreat first?"

The magical girl asked in confusion, "Why?"

Mo Ke explained: "I always feel that the remnant beast this time is not a simple enemy. The two of us may not be able to defeat it. It would be safer to go back to the adults in the Strategy Bureau to learn more about the situation and seek help."

"Ah? But asking an adult for help or something like that, isn't this behavior a bit inconsistent with being a magical girl?"

"Now is not the time to act willfully in such a strange place!"

"Um...got it."

The lingering chill behind her made Lin Xiaolu give up and she quickly followed the fairy's advice: "Let's leave when we reach the center of the park and they still haven't found us."

Mo Ke nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Hurry up!"

They agreed that if they reached the center of the park without encountering any enemies, they would return home.

Walking across the grass, soon the outlines of the pavilions, waterside pavilions and other buildings in the center of the park appeared in Lin Xiaolu's eyes. Seeing that she had arrived at her destination, Lin Xiaolu cheered up and strode forward.

"I still haven't seen any remnants of the beast."

The girl blinked and tilted her head to look to the side: "Moko, can you feel anything now?"

All I see is emptiness.

The fairy that was supposed to be flying beside her had disappeared without her noticing.

"...Moko?"

The magical girl's voice was left alone, locked in the park.

Realizing that things were beginning to develop in a direction beyond her control, Lin Xiaolu finally began to get nervous and started looking around for her partner.

"Moko?"

The dense woods became the best soundproofing, isolating her voice from the outside world.

Just like that, after taking two steps with a somewhat anxious mood, Lin Xiaolu suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes nearby.

Her heartbeat speed increased rapidly, and the magical girl immediately cast her sights in that direction. After a flurry of preparations for the fight, she shouted in a somewhat timid tone:

"Who? Come out!"

The response I got was a rather weak voice: "Quick..."

"what?"

"Run! Xiaolu!"

This time, the magical girl heard it clearly.

As she heard the sound not far away, a blurry pink shadow flew over from a distance and crashed into her arms.

The one who appeared at this time was her partner, Mo Ke, who had suddenly disappeared just now.

However, compared to the intact appearance a few minutes ago, Moko was now covered with wounds. He even lost one of the wings on his back. There were also deep wounds across his body. Waves of pink glowing particles kept floating out of the wounds, making him look very miserable.

But at this moment, Mo Ke didn't care about his own injuries, but opened his mouth to shout: "Hurry up, this time the remnant beast..."

——"Snort, snore, snore."

A roar like that of a wild beast came from the shadows of the woods not far away.

Without giving Mo Ke time to continue speaking, a terrifying monster walked out of the darkness, its sharp claws digging deeply into the mud beneath its feet. Without making any sound, it appeared in front of Lin Xiaolu.

“Gulululululululu, roar, roar, roar…”

There is no doubt that this is a crippled beast.
