After get off work, I become a magical girl

And in the end, it was Delphinium who spoke first: "Is this really okay?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Liang asked back with a chuckle.

"You know."

"I do not know."

"Why should we plead for them?"

Delphinium sighed: "When you winked at me that time, wasn't that what you meant? To make me not be too violent."

To be honest, when she first saw Xia Liang being harassed by some bad people, and even those "friends" who had almost harmed Xia Liang, her first reaction was to call the police.

Magical girls are not police officers, and they have no obligation or need to punish ordinary people, but calling the police is something that everyone can do.

Even if the other party is just a group of minors, Fangting City also has a special youth guidance team responsible for punishing and supervising young people who have violated the rules.

However, Xia Liang didn't seem to want to do that, which was why he repeatedly hinted it to Cuique at that time.

Cuique chose to respect the wishes of the person involved, and finally forced the other party to apologize. The slapping and warning were only carried out in a place where Xia Liang could not see, just because she was really a little annoyed.

There were many people talking in the arcade, and she did not ask Xia Liang the reason for his choice at that time, but now, she had to ask clearly.

"I don't mean that. I'm just looking forward to your great power, little senior."

In response to Cuiqiao's question, Xia Liang spoke jokingly, but after seeing the calm and serious look on the opposite side, he gradually closed his mouth and the smile gradually faded.

The boots tapped against the wet ground, and for a moment the only sounds under the umbrella were footsteps and breathing.

"…If I have to say, it's because we are actually the same people."

She said softly, "Not being loved by family members, not being accepted by the collective, they will eventually come together and want to make themselves look stronger."

"Some people gradually went astray, and some people gradually gave up trying. It's just that everyone has been abandoned by the group, or even by their loved ones, and they are extremely afraid of being abandoned again, and they begin to fall together."

"Sometimes, when I look at them, it's like looking at another me. If I hadn't met Xiaolu, Xiaoqianshen, and Moko, I would have become like them one day."

"This mentality is strange, isn't it? It's like seeing another self who couldn't be redeemed. Even though I know it's futile, I still can't bring myself to do it."

Two umbrellas turned and floated around the corner, and raindrops slid off the umbrellas and splashed onto the concrete curb of the sidewalk.

"But they tried to harm you."

Delphinium calmly replied: "In the face of other people's malice, excessive kindness will only hurt yourself."

"Even so, I chose to give them a chance. Because even if it was only for a short time, Li Yaqing had shown me kindness."

Xia Liang also said seriously: "When I was alone and surrounded by rumors, and was laughed at and isolated by other classmates, she told me 'this is cool' and wanted to be friends with me."

"If she hadn't been there at that time, I might not even be alive here, and I would have done something more impulsive. After all, when I first lost my parents, I once thought about committing suicide."

"If I had committed suicide at that time, I wouldn't be able to meet you now."

"So, this is actually a selfish emotion of mine, but I wish she could get better."

"Because we were once 'friends' and had pursued 'love' together, I hope that she can learn what is right and wrong, come out of it, and be happy. If she is targeted by the Youth Guidance Team, then she will only be punished."

Xia Liang's words seemed a little vague in the rain, and along with his thoughts, they were intertwined, leaving behind

"So I agreed, but I would only give them one chance."

Delphinium looked at the gradually weakening rain with a stern face: "I also hope that the words I left for her can make her realize what can be rewarded and what will face punishment."

"If they have learned their lesson and seen the reward, but still cannot move on from it, then we can no longer blame the outside world. At that point, human nature is the most difficult thing to change."

"Just like magical girls, each magical girl was originally chosen with a pure heart. However, when a magical girl starts to do evil and commits sins, we cannot use "she was originally a good child" to excuse her."

"Good deeds should be rewarded, and bad deeds should be punished. Even though the world is not like this in many cases, we should keep this in mind."

Finally, the two stopped at an intersection, because that was the middle section of the pedestrian commercial street. A traffic light stood at the intersection, stopping them in their tracks.

——"Really? That's too serious, young senior."

Xia Liang suddenly smiled: "Today is our date, let's just let this little episode pass. If this topic interferes with our good mood, that would really make me sad."

"It's not a 'date', is it?"

Hearing her words, Cuique forced herself to relax her eyebrows, let out a long breath, raised her head and glanced at Xia Liang: "We are just hanging out together. This phrase is a bit inappropriate for the situation."

"Eh? But I seriously think we're on a date."

Xia Liang said this, moving closer to Cuique, bringing the two closer together: "Look, hanging out with someone you like, going to a place with memories, and even saving a beautiful girl, isn't this a perfect date script?"

"Every word matches, but every specific concept has been replaced."

Delphinium commented with droopy eyelids: "What do you mean by 'someone you like'? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say 'friend' or 'partner'?"

"Hey, isn't it more romantic to say it this way?"

Xia Liang chuckled, but suddenly realized something and raised his head towards the sky: "Ah, has the rain stopped?"

Delphinium also raised her head and looked along the dividing line between the umbrella and the sky. She saw that a gap had appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and a little sunlight penetrated the clouds, illuminating the originally dark street.

"Let's go have lunch before the second half."

Putting away the umbrella, Xia Liang smiled and said to Cui Jin: "Today's date is far from over, right?"

Chapter 106 Dating (Part 5) (k)

2023-07-29

【Bai Mei: When will you come back, Delphinium? 】

[Delphinium: A little later, maybe in the evening. ]

[Bai Mei: So late? Then we can order takeout for lunch. ]

[Delphinium: Well, thank you for your hard work. Is everything going well over there? ]

[Bai Mei: Don't worry, leave it to me! ]

Looking at the screen of her mobile phone, Kuija slowly took a sip of tea, felt relieved, and put the phone back on the table.

It was after lunch, and sitting in the elegant tea restaurant, Cuique and Xialiang were resting on their chairs. On the wall nearby, the wall clock made regular and crisp sounds, accompanied by soft music, making people feel comfortable and cozy.

The lunch place they chose was a tea restaurant called Qinhe, which was suggested by Xia Liang after seeing a recommendation online. It was not originally planned by Cuique. The restaurant was very prosperous. It took them an hour just to wait in line. After entering the restaurant, the surrounding booths were full of customers, and there were almost no empty tables.

Delphinium had no particular interest in this kind of internet-famous restaurant, nor did she have any preference on what dishes to order, so the task of ordering was completely handed over to Xia Liang. The final result was that the table was full of dishes that looked very good, and Xia Liang took out his phone and took pictures of each dish that was served.

Regardless of whether the meal is delicious or not, at least Xia Liang should be satisfied.

As Cuiqiao put the phone back on the table, Xia Liang, who was originally still thinking about how to take a better-looking photo of the cake, raised his head and asked while holding the phone:

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Baimei asked us where we are now." Cuique answered truthfully with a blank expression.

"Why do you still call me Baimei?"

Xia Liang smiled teasingly and said, "Anyway, they are not here now, so just call me Xiaolu in front of me...ah, little senior, do you usually call me Lulu?"

Delphinium stared at Xia Liang with drooping eyelids and said, "I told you, this is the consciousness of being a magical girl."

"Um--"

With a noncommittal hum, Xia Liang raised her voice slightly, put down her phone, and picked up the spoon next to the cake: "You've already started calling me 'Xia Liang', but you're still insisting on calling Xiao Lu 'Bai Mei'. Are you just being shy?"

"…Like I said, I haven't figured out how to explain it to her yet."

Delphinium looked away helplessly: "Anyway, if you're well rested, we can leave now. We have other plans in the afternoon."

"and many more."

Upon hearing this, Xia Liang suddenly raised his hand and said with a smile, "I suddenly have a place I want to go."

Seeing her smile that was obviously meaningful, Cuique felt her eyebrows twitch slightly, but she still asked with respect to her, "Where do you want to go?"

"Well, after all, we're already in the electronics district, and the weather has finally turned from rainy to sunny..."

Xia Liang pointed outside the French window of the restaurant and said with great interest: "Shall we go look at some clothes?"

……

……

A moment later, in a clothing store not far from the tea restaurant.

"Great! This dress really suits you!"

Inside the store, Xia Liang walked out of the dressing room and stared at her new outfit in the mirror. The salesperson beside her praised her generously, "Little sister, you are a natural model. Even promotional photos can hardly achieve the effect you have!"

Xia Liang and Cuiqiao came to a casual women's clothing store called "Remedy", whose main feature is that it specializes in young women, especially those between the ages of fifteen and thirty.

"haha, thank you."

Smiling and thanking the salesperson, Xia Liang adjusted her short pink sweatshirt, smoothed out the slight creases on the corners of her skirt, put on her white short-tube Martin boots, and turned around to try to see the whole body effect: "But, um... it feels a little childish."

After looking at the clothes for a long time without making up his mind, Xia Liang turned back to look at Cui Que: "What do you think, young senior? Is this dress suitable?"

"It's very pretty, very cute, very harmonious and very tasteful."

Delphinium had a blank expression on her face, and uttered a few words as calmly as a robot: "I think it's very suitable."

This was a habit she developed when she went shopping with her wife and helped Anya pick out clothes.

Whenever Anya wanted to ask Lin Yun for his opinion when choosing clothes, she was usually not really asking for his opinion, but just wanted to hear him praise her for looking good; as for what clothes she would choose in the end, it often had nothing to do with Lin Yun's feelings.

Of course, it's not just like this with Anya. In fact, it's normal for Delphinium - or Cornflower - to go shopping with the teammates of the Old Fangting City team.

As the only male magical girl in the team, Lin Yun is also regarded as a reference for the aesthetic tastes of the opposite sex, so she is often asked questions like "How do you like this outfit?"

If she didn't answer, she would be questioned repeatedly. If she answered too perfunctorily, she would be scolded. Over time, Delphinium had developed a fairly mature set of perfunctory words.

Being able to hear the perfunctory tone in Cuiqiao's words, Xia Liang first narrowed his eyes with a little dissatisfaction, but soon as if he thought of something, the smile on his face became a little ambiguous.

"elder sister."

She suddenly asked the salesperson beside her, "Does the store have clothes that fit this child's size?"

"This child?"

Turning his head to look at Delphinium, the salesperson took a look at it and nodded: "For the smallest size of clothes here, it should be about the same, right?"

"Since it's almost the same..."
