After get off work, I become a magical girl

She had heard from Xia Liang about her past with these bad girls, and she also knew that they had tried to get Xia Liang to do some "jobs" that were not suitable for a girl of this age. She didn't have a good impression of them in the first place.

Now, seeing the frivolous attitude displayed by these bad girls, he naturally would not tolerate them any longer.

As for the other party's request for money, it was secondary. Putting aside the issue of whether there was money or not, she didn't think she would lose at all.

"no problem."

So she agreed to the other party's request quite straightforwardly and said calmly: "You choose, what are you going to compete for?"

"Let me choose? That's better than the dance machine."

Li Yaqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Challenge me, I will make you regret it."

The bets and the projects were finalized, so the next competition became a natural thing. The two walked onto the same dance machine and put in a coin.

In the arcade, the competition on the dance machine is always eye-catching, not to mention that the contestant this time is a little girl with eye-catching blue hair, which immediately attracted the attention of many nearby players. Even if no one deliberately arranged it, a group of onlookers quickly gathered around.

Li Yaqing skillfully clicked on the menu, first setting her own needs, and then gestured to Delphinium: "2p." When it was Delphinium's turn to operate, she saw that it was not even familiar with the normal operating interface, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.

So, when it came to song selection, she confidently chose the most difficult song, which was marked as "Level 13".

As soon as this song was chosen, even the ordinary onlookers around exclaimed in surprise.

"As for this song, the number of players who have been able to perform a full link in the store so far can be counted on two hands, including A-Qing."

The blonde bad girl in the crowd looked at Xia Liang with some sarcasm: "Just wait and see, that brat is going to be in trouble next."

"...Really?" Xia Liang looked at the dance machine in the center of the crowd with great interest, a smile on his face, without showing any nervousness at all.

"Didn't you hear? Why are you pretending?"

Xia Liang's nonchalant attitude annoyed the blonde: "Your fake smile is as irritating as always. I hope you can be so straightforward when you give me the money later."

This sentence also failed to get a response. Xia Liang just glanced at her and didn't say much. Or rather, she felt there was no need to say anything.

In fact, Delphinium on the dance machine was thinking the same thing as her at this moment.

——I don’t want to bother with this group of ignorant and rebellious kids.

If the other party had not really gone too far and his words had not completely disregarded Xia Liang's previous good intentions, she would never have done such a public thing.

Whether she was dealing with these bad girls from an adult's perspective or as a magical girl, it was actually a very cheap and boring behavior. In terms of her original inclination, she would rather ignore these people and walk away.

But if you don't show your strong side to such bad groups, they will come and disturb you from time to time like annoying flies. People like Xia Liang who have been deeply involved with them are more likely to become their targets.

If you encounter a problem and have the ability to handle it, then solve it. This is what Delphinium is thinking now.

Thus, the competition began.

From the beginning of the song, the bad girl Li Yaqing showed her high proficiency. She almost didn't even look at the dance score on the screen, and her steps started moving in advance.

This is also the reason why she chose to use this song for the competition. As the most difficult song on the dance machine, it is impossible for a normal person to dance it completely on the first try.

If an ordinary person were to look at the dance score displayed on the dance machine at this time, he would probably be dazzled and would not even be able to see the score on the screen clearly.

In other words, if you want to dance this piece well, the first thing you need to do is to memorize almost all the difficult parts of the score, and then use your memory as the main framework and rely on the prompts on the screen to dance to the end of the piece.

In Li Yaqing's opinion, the little girl next to her was a complete novice who didn't know her place. If she rashly tried this kind of music, she would only make mistakes. As long as she could easily beat this little girl, all her expenses for the rest of the day would be waived, so she couldn't help but smile.

However, as the song progressed, Li Yaqing, who had been staring at the screen, finally felt something was wrong.

Because until the song was one-third through, and after going through many parts that were generally considered difficult, she didn't see any hint other than perfect appear on the other person's half of the screen.

With such doubts, Huai cast a part of her gaze to the side, and she was shocked to find that the little girl was staring at the screen without blinking, and her steps were jumping on the dance board as nimbly and swiftly as the most sophisticated instruments.

The girl's short boots hit the table, making crisp and continuous sounds, as rhythmic as the sound of galloping horses. Apart from this, the movements of her hands were also perfect.

If there is anything wrong, it is that her movements have almost no dance beauty - she is just completing the music score in the most mechanical and efficient way.

However, if this was her first time dancing to this piece of music, even this level of performance would be enough to shock people.

Of course, this is perfectly normal for Delphinium.

Using the reaction and coordination of a magical girl to play such a game is undoubtedly like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, or using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It would be strange if there was any dance score that could make her unable to react.

As the piece progressed into the second half, the difficulty increased further, and when it came to the part where Li Yaqing could no longer perform the whole song, the Delphinium she saw still had a calm expression and its movements were orderly.

She finally realized that she was probably going to lose.

She knew very well that she was still unstable at the end of the climax, and now she had not warmed up and was not in her peak condition. If she were to jump to that step, there was a great possibility that she would not be able to complete the full combo.

I might not be able to complete the piece successfully, but the little girl next to me will be able to see the whole company for the first time?

When she thought of this, Li Yaqing found it a little hard to accept.

When the piece reached its climax, she wanted to give up her own completion several times and stretch out her feet to interfere with Delphinium's actions.

This plan was undoubtedly tempting enough. After all, in her opinion, the little girl next to her was in a state of concentration and had no defenses against her at all.

Then, as long as the current self——

--"come on!"

Some familiar cheering sounds suddenly rang in Li Yaqing's ears.

The cheers interrupted her original train of thought and made her feel as if she had returned to the past, when Xia Liang was still her follower.

Is it Xia Liang? Is this totally unsociable guy hypocritically cheering himself up again?

She thought so subconsciously at first, but then realized that it was not the case. Xia Liang was cheering for the little girl next to her.

She and I are no longer "friends".

It’s better to say that the two of them have never been friends.

It's no secret that Li Yaqing hates Xia Liang in this small circle of girls.

Where does this disgust come from?

Was it because Xia Liang was prettier than her and stole her attention? Or was it because Xia Liang could always smile at everything, and her irritable personality looked particularly ugly in front of her? Or was it because Xia Liang had provoked her in some way?

It seems that is not the case.

She could still recall the afternoon when she met Xia Liang. After school, she met the girl who was lingering alone in the school courtyard. Her quiet and pure smile and lovely and lively appearance were so conspicuous, as if she was a princess who shouldn't be there.

She already knew Xia Liang at that time, and she knew that this was the "murderer's child" that everyone was rumored to know.

What's wrong with being the child of a murderer? Doesn't that sound cool? It's definitely more brutal than the crimes committed by your own father, and not as embarrassing to talk about, right?

However, compared to Xia Liang, she was undoubtedly lucky. With all the elders in her family being criminals, her scandal did not become a laughing stock for the whole grade.

She didn't know if it was out of this mentality, and she couldn't tell whether this feeling was called "empathy" or "sympathy", but by the time she noticed it, she had already walked up and started talking to the girl sitting alone in the atrium.

What was I thinking at that time? Why did I want to talk to Xia Liang? It seemed that there was no other purpose. I just wanted to be friends with Xia Liang?

When this thought came to her mind, even she felt so disgusted that she wanted to laugh.

She took Xia Liang out of the atrium, introduced Xia Liang to her other friends, taught Xia Liang how to put on makeup, took Xia Liang to her favorite places to play together, told Xia Liang everything she liked, and showed her real self to Xia Liang, including what she was doing and the things she was numb to.

However, she still couldn't forget Xia Liang's expression after she told him all this.

Is that a kind of subconscious disdain?

"Why don't we stop doing this, Yaqing."

At that time, Xia Liang, as if he was trying to suppress his nausea, pushed her hand away with restraint: "I don't want you to be like this, don't continue to do that kind of thing."

At this moment, Li Yaqing stared at her hand that was pushed away, and then she finally understood that Xia Liang was different from all of them.

She is like the white swan among the ugly ducklings, not only because she is more beautiful, but also because her temperament and character are different from those of "defective products" like herself.

She deserves to be loved by someone, she is as pitiful as she is now, it's just that she hasn't met the right person.

But I don’t deserve to be loved. My current situation is entirely my own fault. I am already a trashy failure.

Li Yaqing hates Xia Liang.

Because Xia Liang's existence seemed to be telling her - "I could have been different from this."

However, I have already embarked on the path I am on now. There is no turning back. I can no longer become as pure as Xia Liang.

When she had such a thought in her mind, she felt as if her mind was swallowed by endless mud. The dark and ugly thoughts destroyed all her rationality like a torrent, and all her feelings for Xia Liang turned into the most vicious jealousy.

I have clearly given up, so why do I have to remind myself of that possibility?

They obviously like each other and can become good friends, but they cannot get closer because the other person's existence is a torture for them.

She really wanted to ask openly, let's put aside our prejudices together, be bad kids together, and sink into this quagmire together. Otherwise, what qualifications do she have to walk with him when she has already embarked on the wrong path?

With this idea in mind, Li Yaqing continued to persuade Xia Liang to become a bad boy in everyone's eyes.

However, Xia Liang was unwilling to agree no matter what.

She began to isolate Xia Liang, she began to insult Xia Liang, and she began to bully Xia Liang.

But no matter how he treated Xia Liang, the other party still had a smile on his face, still listened to him, and even contributed his own little money to cover the expenses of the small group activities.

Li Yaqing felt as if her heart was torn apart: she hated Xia Liang, she liked Xia Liang, she wanted to pull Xia Liang closer, and she also wanted to push Xia Liang away.

She really wanted to ask the other person: How inferior do you want me to be to be satisfied?

She wanted him to leave, but every time she saw his smile, she couldn't open her mouth.

Until one day, Xia Liang seemed to have agreed to his request to go with him, but when the ugly joy in his heart just blossomed, he said to him lightly:

"I have something else to do, so I may have to leave today. Have fun!"

At that moment, although she didn't know why, Li Yaqing had a feeling that her "friendship" with her had come to an end.

Just like a kite with a broken string or a Hummer without reins, although the other party has not left, they are only at odds with each other in spirit.

"Xiaoliang."

With some unknown emotion, Li Yaqing said to Xia Liang: "If you leave today, don't come over again in the future."

Xia Liang’s answer was simple.

She said "ok".

Since then, Li Yaqing has never seen Xia Liang again.

There will no longer be anyone to cheer me on while I dance, no longer anyone to persuade me to stop with earnest words, and no longer anyone to always wait for me and comfort me with a smile.

everything is over.

This should have been the day she had been waiting for, but when it finally came, she felt it was so boring.
