Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 174 Meeting in a narrow road

"Gladiolus?"

In the unoccupied reception room, a voice with the slightest radio wave mechanical sound came from the magic mirror in Delphinium's hand: "Are you sure it's this code name?"

In the mirror, the chubby doll was holding the magic mirror with its claws with some difficulty, and confirmed to Delphinium with a voice.

As for the delphinium himself, he leaned behind a closed wooden door, looked at the magic mirror in his hand expressionlessly, nodded, and his blue hair swayed:
"Yes, that's right, can you find it? I can't confirm that this code name is true. I can only judge from the information disclosed by the other party that she may come from the claw marks, but apart from some unconfirmed remarks, there is no other substance. evidence."

After leaving the dinner table, Delphinium, who couldn't restrain the heart gem, rushed to an empty reception room next door as fast as she could, and locked the door behind her back.

The out-of-control Heart Gem couldn't undo the transformation for a while, so she took out the magic mirror she was carrying and got in touch with Emerald.

There is no other reason. At present, only Emerald can handle this matter in Fangting City.

She didn't know the strength of this magical girl who claimed to be "Gladiolus" and was suspected to be from the claw marks, but she had a clear understanding of her current level-even if the sparrow came again, she would not be able to please her, let alone It is said that this person is obviously stronger than the sparrow.

"Let me see...you wait, I have to ask my assistant to contact my friends in the Magic Academy."

Emerald's voice was a little erratic, probably because the main body in the far country was doing other things, but she still didn't forget to put the accent on the word "friend": "You may need to wait for two or three minutes."

"Okay." Delphinium nodded expressionlessly, "Excuse me."

"It's just a small matter, and there is still some distance from trouble."

The doll in the mirror waved its paws: "But what happened over there? It's not a common thing for a magical girl with claw marks to directly invade the different strategy bureau. As far as I know, the white wolf and her The subordinates of the group have always avoided contact with ordinary people."

Delphinium hesitated for a long time, and finally gave out the reason of "being arrested in the street after eating a king's meal" in order to explain the whole story.At the end, he added: "This is the process I have heard so far, and the facts have yet to be verified."

"Although it sounds a little weird... But it doesn't seem impossible."

Emerald's performance was quite calm, not only did not question what delphinium said, but seriously analyzed it: "Although most magical girls in the material world are familiar with human cities, the natives of the country and the seniors who have lived in the country for too long But I can’t figure it out. There have been incidents where researchers got lost in the material world before, and when I got back, I’ve been homeless for half a month.”

"Are the people in your country really okay?"

"I've said it all, here we say 'our country'! Show your solidarity, junior."

Emerald said earnestly: "Look, your current situation is the result of not listening to your elders. I have been persuading you to receive treatment early, but you are questioning and procrastinating. In the end, if something really happened, you still need to ask me for help, right now? Time to reconsider my proposed deal?"

"I'll think about it afterwards." Delphinium agreed blankly, "So have you checked out the other party's information?"

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be in such a short time...ah, I found it, Gladiolus."

In the middle of the sentence, she suddenly changed her words. Accompanied by the sound of flipping a book, Emerald said with a little thought: "Well, there is indeed such a person."

"Is it a fake?" Delphinium asked next.

"Probably not."

The voice on the other side of the communication slowed down slightly, and it was obvious that Emerald was reading something: "The results of my investigation here show that 'Gladiolus' is indeed a magical girl who defected with the white wolf more than ten years ago. The arbitrator is also a flower card, and he seems to have known White Wolf very early."

"...She didn't tell lies?" Delphinium was a little puzzled.

"Not everyone is a deep-minded stinky brat like you, youngster."

The doll in the mirror shook his head: "Magical girls are synonymous with purity and kindness. Young girls are like this. A respected elder like me also has a noble and beautiful character. Among the magical girls who defected, there are not a few pure-minded ones."

Even the last trace of emotion disappeared from Delphinium's expressionless face.

"I am willing to take your word for it, Your Excellency the Chief."

She nodded: "Leaving aside some controversial issues, that is to say, the person who came to Fangting City is likely to be a defected magical girl with flower card combat power and rich combat experience."

"In other words, this is an enemy that is not inferior to 'Moth' in terms of strength alone, and may even surpass her. The current Fangting City Magic Girl Team may not be her opponent. If she wants to If you do something, no one here can stop her."

"Then, Your Excellency, what do you think is the purpose of a magical girl from the claw marks appearing in Fangting City at this point in time, if she really has any purpose?"

The other party claimed to be "looking for cornflowers", but even if they were looking for someone, they must have a purpose that could only be achieved by finding someone.And according to delphinium's own speculation, there is a high probability that the other party came to him not for other reasons, but for...

"The source of the beast, right?"

Emerald agreed: "Indeed, I can think of this matter, there is no reason why White Wolf can't think of it. She can betray the country for two sources of beasts, so there is no reason not to be indifferent to this one in your hand."

"I probably wouldn't be able to protect this thing from a flower player in full bloom."

Delphinium stated the facts in a calm tone: "If the other party uses force, or even uses the safety of Fangting City as a bargaining chip to ask me for the source of the beast, I will need your assistance."

"My assistance? You mean me to help you defeat that 'Gladiolus'? Unfortunately, my deity is still in the kingdom, but I can't come to Fangting City."

The doll in the magic mirror shook its paw: "This clone of mine basically has no combat capability, let alone flower cards, even your juniors can easily defeat this clone."

It spoke convincingly, as if there was nothing it could do about it, but Delphinium didn't speak, just continued to look at the magic mirror expressionlessly.

The doll in the magic mirror paused for a few seconds, as if it was waiting for something. Seeing that the delphinium didn’t respond, it couldn’t help saying boredly: “It’s really not cute, you can’t give me a word at this time. ?"

"So?" Delphinium nodded, "What can you do?"

"You really believe that I will help you?" Emerald felt a little strange, "What if I really have no choice? After all, this matter has nothing to do with me, right?"

Delphinium sighed helplessly: "I don't think a gemstone scepter should say something like 'the traitor's attack on the city has nothing to do with him'."

"From the moral point of view of magical girls, yes." Emerald retorted, "But I am also a gemstone scepter after all. Even if my character is noble, I still have to consider the interests of the macro level."

"From the perspective of interests, you should not tolerate others getting involved in this source of the beast."

Delphinium calmly analyzed: "You came to Fangting specially to build the research institute. Obviously, you originally planned to conduct research here. Even if our deal is successfully concluded and the source of beasts is handed over to you, you should also Consider the issue of the origin of the beast being taken away by people."

"Well... it seems that there is no way to refute it. The thinking is so clear, it is really not to be underestimated, young man."

The doll in the mirror first put on a posture of thinking, and then nodded in agreement: "Then let me tell you, don't worry about it, even if the other party is really a defected 'Gladiolus', there will be... ..."

——"Boom"!
Before Emerald could finish her words, delphinium felt a sudden strong impact from the wooden door behind her.

The door of the reception room was slammed open, and the delphinium that was leaning on the door was directly thrown to the ground.As a result, the magic mirror in her hand flew out, and fell a few meters away, leaving only the emerald in the mirror calling with some doubts.

Delphinium stood up on the ground, turned her head to look at the door, and saw that the magical girl who called herself "Gladiolus" had arrived behind her at some point, and was looking at herself with great interest.

"Sure enough, my feeling is not wrong, it's a magical girl!"

She was still holding the wine glass brought from the dining table, her cheeks flushed a little drunk: "Sammy, you lost the bet!"

"Is she really a magical girl?"

The black cat goblin floated out from behind her, and looked at Delphinium with some doubts: "Indeed...but it's so strange, why don't I feel anything?"

"As I said, the perception mode of your elves is too single."

The girl smiled confidently: "In this respect, I am more professional than you."

"Are you a magical girl from Fangting City? What are you doing here?"

It's just that Semi at the side didn't want to talk to her at all, but tensed up and looked at Delphinium: "Did that man just inform you to come?"

When she was at the dinner table just now, Tobi suddenly said that she felt the magical power of the magical girl, and then walked straight towards this room.Although Semi felt that such behavior was a bit reckless, but he had no choice but to follow up.

And even if it followed Yuan into the reception room next door, it actually didn't know: Did the magic girl from Fangting City come with good intentions or hostility?Do you know your side is from the claw marks?When the information is not clear, it does not know what action to take for a while.

To tell the truth, Sammi does not want to solve the problem by force.

Because it is always worried that the cornflowers in Fangting City will remain strong, and going head-to-head will cause chickens to fly and eggs to fight.In its mind, the risk of fighting head-on is much higher than outsmarting or communicating and trading, and it should not resort to fighting until it is exhausted.

It is precisely because of this that it tries to use dialogue to confirm the attitude of the other party, wondering whether its own side has really been exposed.

"I received a notice that an unknown magical girl entered the pavilion."

In this regard, Delphinium avoids the important and ignores the important, without mentioning what "Lin Yun" did, and hastily brought up the reason why she is here, "So I have to come here to confirm your identities and purpose of coming."

"identifying?"

Sammy's ears perked up quite obviously, but he quickly returned to a relaxed look: "What do you want to know?"

"Your code name, certification plate number, position, and mission."

It was exactly the same as Semi's idea. In order to avoid intensifying the conflict and causing the two sides to fight directly, Delphinium decided to repeat the old trick after a short thought, and once again pretended not to know that the other party was Claw Scar: "It may be a little offensive, but I We need to make sure that you are really magical girls from the kingdom."

Her attitude also confuses Sammy.

It was already ready to be seen through on its own side, and it was ready to fight a tough battle next.However, the current attitude shown by delphinium seems to be that they are not sure that they are claw marks, which shows that there is still room for maneuver in the matter.

Do you want to stop talking?
Thinking this way, it was about to follow Delphinium's words, but saw Kite stretching out her hand to stop her.

—"No more acting, little girl."

She looked slightly drunk, but her tone was firm, and she shook her head with a smile: "I heard you just now, you said the word 'beast source' behind the door. You obviously know why we came, right?"

"Huh?" Sammy turned to look at her in astonishment.

Delphinium's originally indifferent expression became more and more tense.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to hide any more. We are people from 'Claw Mark', and we came to Fangting City to retrieve the source of the beast in Cornflower's hand, and to complete some other tasks along the way."

Yuan put the wine glass to her lips and took a sip: "You are a magical girl from Fangting City? Then you should know where the cornflower is?"

"...Your purpose is indeed the source of the beast." Seeing that her intention had been seen through, Delphinium stopped pretending.She took a few steps back, picked up the magic mirror on the ground, and stuffed it into her sleeve.The western suit with wide cuffs hides the magic mirror like a storage bag, and there is no trace of swelling on the outside.

After doing this, she looked at the combination in front of her with some vigilance: "What do you want it for?"

"Want to know?"

Kite breathed out the smell of alcohol, and took a few steps closer to the delphinium. Her height, which was more than half a head taller than the delphinium, created a sense of oppression: "Then answer my question first, little girl, you know the cornflower, Do you know where the cornflowers are?"

Delphinium raised her head and looked at her without fear: "I have no obligation to answer your question..."

However, before she finished speaking, a warning sign suddenly appeared in her heart.I just felt a chill down my back, as if some danger was approaching.

clang!
Without the slightest hesitation, delphinium almost subconsciously activated the magic costume, and the silk threads overlapped on the back to form a shield-shaped masterpiece, resisting this attack from behind.

However, it only blocked the attack.She couldn't even see what was attacking her.

What's worse, when she used her magic outfit, she realized that troubles were yet to come.Because the kite in front of her looked at the silk threads around her, and showed a somewhat understanding smile.

"...Although I already had a hunch, but I still have to try my skills before I know it's you."

She gently placed the wine glass on the table beside her, and the drunken look on her face gradually faded:

"Cornflowers."
