After get off work, I become a magical girl

Xia Liang's request was tantamount to saying that she wanted him to treat her like a parent and hoped that he could treat her like his own children.

But because she understood, she couldn't speak. Rather, for the first time, she felt confused by Xia Liang's idea that crossed the line and was even stubborn.

This request is too abrupt and casual, while it should be a very serious matter.

She could understand Xia Liang's desire for family affection after losing her father and being coldly abandoned by her mother, but she never expected that she would make such a request at such a time.

If Cuiqiao was a very casual person and didn't care about the various responsibilities and ethical issues behind this request, then she could naturally agree to it casually and say that Xia Liang would be her adopted daughter in the future, and both parties would regard themselves as real child.

However, she is not that kind of person. She fully understands the importance of family and kinship, and she attaches great importance to them.

From being a senior of the magical girl to being a parent and child, the span of this relationship is too big, and the responsibility behind it is too heavy, so heavy that Delphinium was speechless.

Even with Lin Xiaolu, their only daughter, they had caused so many problems with each other. Could he really take on this responsibility?

After thinking for a long time, Cuiqiao pushed Xialiang's shoulder and the two separated from the hug.

"Think about it carefully. I need to think about it too."

She tried to keep her voice as soft as possible so as not to upset Xia Liang: "You are a very good and excellent child. I am very happy that you are willing to recognize me in this way. However, I don't want you to regret it in the future. I also hope that we can both be responsible for your future life, so don't make such a light decision."

"I already..." Xia Liang wanted to say something, but he saw Cuiqiao making a gesture to keep quiet and then shook his head.

"Today's time for being willful is over. You should remember that you should be willful in moderation." said Delphinium.

Xia Liang was stunned for a while, then shook his head and laughed helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about these things later."

"But I have another request."

Patting her face, she regained her spirit and looked at Kuei-ching seriously: "As the last act of a bad boy, although I didn't intend to tell Xiaolu, I want a hush money."

"What exactly?" Delphinium raised her head and folded her arms.

"Specifically, let's make an appointment on any day and -"

——"Ah, you are all here!"

Xia Liang was unable to finish his words because he was interrupted by a voice coming from the living room on the balcony.

Lin Xiaolu came from the living room in a rage, holding the test paper in her hand and wearing slippers. She then suddenly opened the balcony door and said, "You left me alone and are talking behind my back. I want to hear what you are saying too!"

Xia Liang could only stop talking, because this was not something that should be mentioned in front of Lin Xiaolu, so she chose to keep silent and looked at Cuique with a smile.

Delphinium knew what the other party meant. In just one night, this was the umpteenth time that she had the urge to sigh.

But at the moment, she was not ready to reveal the truth to Lin Xiaolu, so she had to droop her eyelids, and then said in unison with Xia Liang:

"Nothing, just talking about the topic."

This is yesterday's update, but I still can't finish it until now. There will be another chapter in the evening, which will be today's update. I will try to write as much as possible.

Chapter 100 New Home and Pranks

2023-04-30

The secret base was completed faster than expected.

When the summer vacation ended and several new magical girls returned to campus life, Lin Yun received a call from Hong Siyu: the venue was ready.

At this time, only ten days had passed since the secret base was proposed.

Impressed by the efficiency of the Yi Ce Bureau in such matters, Lin Yun, who had nothing to do, drove to the reserved venue - a villa area on the outer ring of the city, to prepare for the connection with Hong Si.

In order to avoid being seen by other employees of the Strategy Bureau, after stopping the car, Lin Yun transformed into Delphinium and walked towards the position provided by Hong Siyu.

The secret base prepared by the Strategy Bureau is a four-story single-family villa. In addition to the living area on the ground, it also has a basement that is specially wrapped with magic-resistant materials and serves as a training ground for the magical girls.

She walked into the villa with an expressionless face, and at the invitation of Hong Siyu, she carefully toured the entire building - even the interior decoration had been completed and brand new. Cuique asked Hong Siyu for some photos and sent them to the magical girls' group.

Although it is still class time and they probably won't be able to see it, that doesn't stop Delphinium from sending it to them for later reference.

Then she saw a message suddenly pop up in the group:

[Xiao Jin: It's really luxurious. When can I move in? ]

【Delphinium: Pay attention in class and don't play with your phone. 】

【Xiao Jin: I know [emoticon picture]. 】

The brief conversation ended just like that.

Delphinium looked at the screen with some displeasure, put it aside after a while, moved back and sat on the sofa in the living room.

"What's wrong?"

Hong Siyu, who was walking beside him, was a little curious, but soon put the matter behind her and said with some pride: "How is it? The efficiency of the Yi Ce Bureau!"

"It's the only thing you can be so efficient at," Delphinium commented indifferently.

"Really? Senior, you are still as dishonest as ever."

Hong Siyu didn't care about Cuiqiao's indifferent attitude at all. She held her chin with her hand and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, I suddenly remembered recently that you have quit your previous job, right?"

"Indeed, what's the matter?" Delphinium raised her brows.

"The special training period for new students has also ended, and school will resume as usual. Your daytime hours will be free."

Hong Siyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "That is to say, are you interested in working in our Strategy Bureau using your original identity?"

"Strange Strategy Bureau?"

Delphinium looked at her suspiciously: "What can I do in the Bureau of Strategy? I can't use magic as an ordinary person."

"It's not like you have to be a magician to work in the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, it's just that most positions are held by magicians."

Hong Siyu explained: "Look, I am just a weak woman with no magic power and even more ordinary than ordinary people. But there is a job suitable for me in the Strategy Bureau."

"You mean..." Delphinium frowned slightly, "Contact person?"

"Yes, that's the contact person."

Hong Siyu nodded and said, "Because of the incident last month, everyone in your team has completely appeared in the vision of the Strategy Bureau, including Xiao Jin, who had no official contact channels before. Now the Bureau is planning to send someone to contact him as soon as possible, and then appoint a contact person to be responsible for Xiao Jin."

"What do you mean?" Cuiqiao probably guessed what Hong Siyu wanted to say, but still asked back symbolically.

"I think, senior, you can use the name Lin Yun as Xiaojin's contact person." Hong Siyu said seriously.

But when she made this suggestion, which she thought was very constructive, she found that there was something wrong with Delphinium's expression, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Is there anything difficult?" That was all she could ask.

It's more than just a dilemma.

Delphinium said in her heart.

Let her be Xia Liang's contact person under the identity of Lin Yun. Not to mention what Lin Xiaolu would think, if this matter is concealed from her, Xia Liang might become lawless.

In fact, even now, the child had already made a request that made Delphinium quite helpless.

——On weekends, the two of them would go out and play together for a day as Delphinium.

This was the "hush money" that Xia Liang tried to bring up that night, but was stopped by Lin Xiaolu's sudden appearance. Xia Liang even tried to call this a "date", but was seriously rejected by Cuique.

But no matter what to call this agreement, Cuiqiao finally agreed to Xia Liang's request, and the two of them tentatively set the date on the third weekend after school started.

By that time, the school's baseline test had already ended and even the results were out. The new students could naturally relax a little and arrange more entertainment activities outside of class.

If there was anyone whose name gave Cuiqiao the most headaches recently, it would probably be "Xia Liang". At this moment, Hong Siyu proposed that she should go to the Yi Ce Bureau to be their contact person, which naturally made Cuiqiao feel complicated.

However, the proposal of working in the Strategy Bureau seemed somewhat feasible to her.

On the one hand, it is a well-known fact that the work of the Special Policy Bureau is not actually that busy. Except for a small number of civil investigators, most employees do not even need to go to work every weekday.

This is why Hong Siyu seems to be so idle. In addition, her current position is a liaison, responsible only for connecting and relaying the requests between the magical girls and the Strategy Bureau, which makes her even more idle.

If Lin Yun really needs to find another job, this seemingly menial job as a liaison officer is indeed an option worth considering.

It was difficult to make a decision, so Kuizi didn't give an immediate reply, but agreed casually: "I know."

"Also, if you really plan to come, remember to complete the recruitment registration before the end of this month."

Hong Siyu continued to remind: "Although if you come, you definitely don't need to participate in the unified recruitment exam next month like others, but you still need to register."

"Well, I'll consider it."

The handover work ended with the words of Delphinium.

Without any complicated procedures, with the help of the Strategy Bureau, the ownership of this villa was given the green light and easily transferred to the name of the Fangting City Magical Girls Team.

After that, there were a lot of cleanup tasks surrounding the secret base. When it came to the first weekend after school started, the magical girl team, which had finished a week of classes, finally moved into their secret base.

“So luxurious, so awesome!”

Walking into the entrance hall, Bai Jingxuan, dragging her suitcase, almost subconsciously exclaimed: "Is this really a place we can live in?"

"Yes, you can live here. If you want, you can even take up two rooms by yourself."

Behind her was Xia Liang, who was also dragging several large suitcases. She looked at the villa, which was brightly lit because several people had checked in, and her eyes were shining.

Looking into the house from the entrance, you can easily see the furnishings inside: with large areas of white walls as the base tone, matched with black and gray home decorations, the overall style is fresh and simple.

The spacious and bright living room is connected to the dining room and kitchen, making the whole space look more spacious. In the center of the living room is a set of black leather sofas and a glass coffee table, surrounded by simple decorations.

There is a huge TV screen hanging on the wall, and there is a set of sliding floor-to-ceiling windows at the backyard door facing the entrance. The LED light strips on the roof make the indoor lighting tone quite soft and warm. The construction style of the entire villa is simple and practical without losing its modern aesthetic.

As the team members walked into the door one by one, even Moko rushed in shouting "I want my own room too", while Cuique and Lin Xiaolu walked side by side and were the last to enter the villa's door.

"Are you a little nervous because it's a strange place?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu's expression was a little tense, Cuiqiao turned her head with some concern: "If you are not used to it, there is actually no need for you to stay here right away. It would be better to spend a few days to get familiar with the environment first."

She knew very well that her daughter was a very shy child.

Not only is he wary and distant towards strangers, he is also nervous when going to an unfamiliar place. When he was a child, his family of three would go out traveling and he wouldn't be able to sleep because he stayed in a hotel. It can be said that he is very attached to his bed.

That was why, when the other members of the team showed great curiosity and enthusiasm, and took advantage of the novelty to visit around the house, she had to walk shyly at the back.

When Cuiqiao asked her this question, Lin Xiaolu showed obvious interest at first, but soon shook her head and replied: "I can do it, no need."

Staying in the secret base with everyone in the team was something she was looking forward to. She believed that if she was with everyone, she should be able to overcome her anxiety about the unfamiliar environment.

What's more, with Delphinium by her side, she felt that she could muster up a little more courage: she would try to prove herself in front of Delphinium and not appear so childish.

Only by getting rid of the image of a child in Delphinium's mind, will she be able to stand beside him one day and become a partner capable of fighting alongside him.
