After get off work, I become a magical girl

Taking a secret glance at the delphinium, Lin Xiaolu mustered up her courage in her heart, and then began to put her luggage away.

Although she had moved into the secret base, she still missed her father who was alone at home, but staying overnight in the secret base with her teammates was also what she had been looking forward to these days.

Before leaving home, with a subtle sense of guilt towards her father, with whom she had recently reconciled, Lin Xiaolu made an agreement with Lin Yun: she would send a text message every day when she stayed away from home to report that she was safe.

The girl and the fairies ran around the house together, and then gathered in the living room for a heated discussion, and finally completed the allocation of the villa rooms:

Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, and Bai Jingxuan live on the 2nd floor, Cuiqiao and Mo Ke live on the 3rd floor, and the 4th floor is temporarily vacant and will be used when needed in the future.

As for why this was the result, it was naturally the result of the fight between Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang.

First, Lin Xiaolu took the initiative to say that she wanted to live next to Cuiqin, and then Xia Liang also asked to live next to Cuiqin. Both of them wanted to give in to the younger children and didn't want to drive Bai Jingxuan to another floor alone, so they began to persuade each other to move to the third floor.

This meaningless argument lasted for dozens of minutes. The two people used various reasons to prove why the other person lived alone on the floor. In the end, they had run out of excuses and had nothing to say. It became a dispute between elementary school students.

Cuique, who was originally cleaning the basement, couldn't stand it anymore, so she came out with a broom and announced that she would live alone on the third floor, while the three newcomers would live on the same floor to show fairness and justice. Then she walked back to the basement coldly under the resentful gaze of Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu.

Although it is a rare weekend off, the girls still have to face the school's placement test next week, so after arranging their accommodation, the evening study session will still go on as usual.

What’s different from previous years is that this time there’s another participant, Bai Jingxuan.

Because of her many health problems, including the loss of her left eye in an accident and the fact that she was hospitalized for quite a long time, Bai Jingxuan is actually on leave from school now.

She did not go to the corresponding primary school and had been recuperating in an orphanage.

Now, after becoming a magical girl, although her lost eyes will never come back, her congenital disease has improved to a certain extent.

After all, this intermittent limb disorder is actually caused by an overly strong soul and magic. Becoming a magical girl has stimulated Bai Jingxuan's potential. As she gradually masters her magic, the "strange disease" is no longer a strange disease.

According to Bai Jingxuan's own plan, she wants to return to school after her illness is basically cured. Therefore, she also needs to make up for the primary school courses she has missed in the past three years.

Just like that, along with moving into the secret base, the size of the evening study session was upgraded to four people. If the fairy who had been sleeping soundly on the side was also counted, then all the members had gathered.

"If you can't find a common factor for factorization here, try using the formula first. If that doesn't work, then group it first..."

Sitting at the desk in the new room, Cuiqiao pushed the exercises in front of Lin Xiaolu with her left hand. While explaining them, she tried to raise her right hand to demonstrate the solutions to her in person.

However, when she exerted force on her wrist, she felt her right hand being grabbed.

Turning her eyes slightly, Cuique discovered that the culprit was Xia Liang.

She didn't say anything, and kept her expressionless face, trying to pull her hand out of Xia Liang's. But just when she pulled her hand out halfway, Xia Liang grabbed it again and held her fingers.

Cuiqiao glanced at Xia Liang again, only to see that he was staring at the textbook intently, looking like he was studying seriously, and there was no sign of his movements under the table at all.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiaolu, who was still waiting for Delphinium to demonstrate, looked at Delphinium with some confusion, but found that it was just sitting there and had no intention of taking any follow-up action.

"As for this question... I've changed my mind. You can try to solve it yourself first. I don't think it's very difficult."

I couldn't pull my right hand free, and forcing myself to write with my left hand would seem too weird, so I could only pretend to be calm and continued, "Wait until you finish writing it, and I'll tell you the correct answer."

"Oh, okay." Since she couldn't see the scene under the table, Lin Xiaolu didn't think about it. She lowered her head without any doubt and began to try to figure out the answer herself.

Delphinium breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could make any further moves, she felt the back of her hand being gently tickled. The sudden itching sensation gave her goose bumps all over her arm.

She immediately glared at Xia Liang beside her, only to see him sticking out a tiny bit of his tongue unnoticeably.

Apparently, she had just scratched the back of her hand.

And this kind of prank is not the first time in these days.

Chapter 101 The First Morning at the Secret Base

2023-04-30

Ever since Xia Liang discovered the secret of Cuiqiao's identity, he often deliberately made various intimate gestures.

Sometimes she would sit next to Delphinium and play with her long blue hair, braiding it into pigtails or twisting it into a pigtail.

Or, he would suddenly run behind the delphinium, cover its eyes, and play a childish game of "Guess Who I Am".

More often than not, like now, he would specifically choose the time when Lin Xiaolu was around to secretly do some small actions: like tickling, kicking, or writing on Delphinium's hand to pass on a secret message.

The contents of these whispers were completely meaningless, all saying things like "I can't do it", "It's too difficult", "Explain it again", etc. It would not matter if she said them directly on the table, but she just wanted to convey them through small movements.

If it happened only once or twice it would be fine, but after it happened more and more times, Cuique felt that she should give her a little warning.

"Xiao Jin, you've been looking at this page for quite some time. Have you figured out how to write it?"

So she narrowed her eyes and said in a slightly cold voice: "I just talked about this with Bai Mei, do you want to exchange your thoughts with her?"

"Ok?"

Xia Liang, who had been pretending to stare at the textbook, was slightly startled, then raised his head in confusion: "What?"

"Aren't you looking at the questions?" Cuique took advantage of the situation to pull out her hand, folded her hands across her chest and said, "Factoring, you just need to discuss these types of questions with Baimei."

"Ah, this..." Xia Liang lowered his head and looked at the contents on the pages of the book, speechless for a moment.

Her reaction was also within Delphinium's expectations, because she had been concentrating on doing little tricks and was probably not aware of what question Delphinium was talking about just now.

In this situation, even if she knew how to write this type of question, it would be difficult for her to continue the conversation.

So, under Xia Liang's slightly resentful gaze, Cuiqiao began a stern lecture, using all the common sentences such as "How can you be distracted when you have a test soon?" and "You shouldn't be proud and complacent even if you have made progress." Xia Liang was speechless and could only lower his head and do the questions obediently.

Lin Xiaolu on the side was snickering with glee; Bai Jingxuan looked at the two of them in some confusion, and then continued to lower her head and ponder over her book; Mo Ke, who was sleeping on the bookshelf, was awakened by the noise and turned over slowly.

In this atmosphere, the last weekend before the placement test ended.

It was another Monday, early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit the head of the bed, Delphinium opened her eyes subconsciously. She sat up in a daze, subconsciously touched the empty bed beside her, and then gradually woke up, turned over and walked out of bed.

The body of a magical girl does not secrete sweat or dirt like a normal person, so there is no need to wash it specially, but Delphinium still obeyed her living habits and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Then, in the early morning, she began to knock the girls out of their rooms one by one.

Lin Xiaolu was the easiest one to wake up, probably due to the cold war with Lin Yun in the past two years. In order to avoid seeing her father's face before going to work in the morning, she often got up early and went to school alone.

This habit has gradually changed as the relationship between father and daughter has eased. Now Lin Xiaolu doesn't like to get up early so much, but she still maintains a relatively high sensitivity during sleep, so as long as Delphinium knocks on the door, she can wake up immediately.

Bai Jingxuan doesn't need to go to school now, but she can't relax because she still has a lot of magical girl lessons to catch up on.

Her daily routine was also very good, probably due to her years of living in the welfare home. Although she was not as easy to wake up as Lin Xiaolu, as long as Cuiqin knocked slightly on her bedside, she would slowly open her eyes. After being woken up by Cuiqin, she would not make a fuss about sleeping in, nor would she stay in bed. Instead, she would sit up very actively and start to greet the morning routine.

The hardest thing to wake up is Xia Liang.

According to her, she would not get up unless she slept until the last second before being late. But the fact is that one of the main reasons why Xia Liang was regarded as a bad girl by her classmates at school was that she was late every day - this is what Lin Xiaolu said.

Now that everyone lived under the same roof, Delphinium could no longer allow her to indulge in her bad habits.

After knocking gently on the door and hearing no response from the room, Delphinium turned the doorknob, walked into the room, and looked at the single bed placed by the window - there was a bulge on it caused by the quilt covering it.

Walking forward, Kuija looked at the bedside for a while, and saw only half of the head sticking out of the bulge. Messy black hair spread out from the gap between the quilt and the pillow, and trembled slowly with the even breathing of the owner of the hair.

She put one hand on her waist and waited for a while. Seeing that the person in the bulge still had no intention of waking up, Kuizi called out, "Wake up, Xiaojin."

All I heard was a slight breathing sound.

Raising a brow, Kuija decided not to hold back any longer. She reached out and grabbed the sheet, pulled it straight back, and then pulled it off with a sudden force.

The figure in the quilt was also revealed.

Then I saw Xia Liang holding a large doll, with his head buried in the top of the doll, half of his face pressed against the surface of the fluffy toy, his eyes closed, and no intention of waking up at all.

There was still an inexplicable smile on her face, and she seemed to be immersed in a beautiful dream.

Cuique turned around and walked a few steps to the window, opened the curtains in front of the window to let the sunlight into the room, then turned to the head of the bed, reached out and patted Xia Liang's shoulder: "Get up, it's time to go to school."

There was still no reaction from the other party.

After that, Delphinium tried various methods, but there was no response when she patted his shoulder, pushed him, or even patted his forehead. After repeatedly encountering obstacles, she could only choose a slightly excessive method.

pinch nose.

She placed her fingers on Xia Liang's nose and pinched it gently. Cuique squatted beside the bed and just looked at Xia Liang's face quietly, while secretly counting the time to avoid suffocation.

This went on for about 30 seconds, until Delphinium realized it couldn't go on and was ready to give up, Xia Liang finally opened his eyes.

"Hah—huh, huh, young senior?"

She opened her mouth dazedly, panted for a while, and then asked in surprise: "Why are you in my house? Am I dreaming?"

"This is our base. Your school will start in 40 minutes. Hurry and get up."

After letting go, Delphinium took two steps back and left the room without waiting for Xia Liang to say anything.

She didn't notice that Xia Liang was lying on the bed behind her with a dazed look on his face, as if he was thinking about something, but time was tight in the morning and there was no time for her to stay there.

Walking into the kitchen and taking out the sleeves from the cabinet under the stove, Delphinium quickly took out a series of ingredients from the refrigerator and began to prepare breakfast.

Compared to before at her own home, Delphinium now prepares breakfast for four people, but the process remains the same, except that the movements have increased.

Heat water in a wok, then put in a certain amount of noodles, cut some green onions and vegetables, and add a few poached eggs. Prepare the soup in four prepared noodle bowls, and a few servings of ordinary noodles are ready.

After that, Delphinium called the three little ones out from their respective bathrooms, and it was time for breakfast.

This was the first morning after the Fangting City Magical Girls Team stayed overnight in the secret base, and it was also the first breakfast for the four of them to get together.

Cuiqiao was collecting feedback from several newcomers on the taste of breakfast. Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had started their daily bickering since early in the morning. Mo Ke was talking to Bai Jingxuan on his own. Bai Jingxuan was sipping noodles quietly by herself, but she was also paying attention to the conversations of others.

A new week, and a new life, begins.

Cuiqiao began to continue tutoring Bai Jingxuan in the secret base, while the other two went to school to continue their studies for the new semester.

Time passed quickly, and the magical girls began to get used to living together in the secret base. Soon, such days became the norm for them.

Lin Xiaolu would go to and from school with Xia Liang, Cuiqiao would train and do housework with Bai Jingxuan, and Mo Ke still considered herself to be a crucial sower and went out every day to look for new magical girl candidates.

At the same time, Lin Xiaolu would send a simple text message to Lin Yun every night, and Cuiqiao would also reply with some concerned words using Lin Yun's mobile phone. Bai Jingxuan would still occasionally contact the caregivers in the welfare home to report on her recent life situation.

During this period, a remnant beast appeared once, but it was still only a rather weak egg level.

For some reason, ever since the Claw Mark and Black Ember Dawn were defeated, the beasts in Fangting City have become much weaker, and the frequency and intensity of attacks have decreased. This shows that the surge in beast attacks in the past period of time is probably related to this group of people.

Delphinium doesn't care about the fact that the disabled beasts have become weaker. Rather, she wishes there were no disabled beasts in the world so that people would not have to live under the shadow of such a crisis.

Being able to easily resolve these attacks is actually a good thing for her, the newcomers in the team, and the ordinary citizens of Fangting City.

Everyone is adapting to a new life, making appropriate changes to themselves while ensuring that certain things do not change.

After that, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang’s junior high school placement test went on as scheduled.

At this point, all the help that Delphinium could provide had been exhausted. She thought that she had done everything she could, and now it all depended on the performance of the two of them.
