Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 194 Under the Spotlight
"A fateful encounter?"

"Me and her?"

The taciturn girl's abrupt remarks stirred up waves like a stone, causing both Lin Xiaolu and the blond girl to cry out in surprise, followed by an inexplicable look at each other.

Looking at the familiar blond girl in front of her, Lin Xiaolu shook her head subconsciously, denying this ridiculous statement in her heart. But just when she was about to say something, a violent burst of noise suddenly came from the venue nearby. Applause and cheers.

The noisy noise interrupted the girls' communication and attracted their attention, causing them to shift their gazes and look at the intersection of the aisles not far away, the widely opened door of the venue.

Walking to the gate, she looked curiously into the venue. Lin Xiaolu first looked at the crowd, and then looked at the stage under the spotlight. To her surprise, there was a man standing on the stage. She felt some familiar figures:

——It's a delphinium.

……

……

After receiving the bouquet, Delphinium was called to the stage in the name of "inviting the lucky audience to speak on stage."

If possible, she didn't want to receive this unexpected gift in public, let alone put herself in the spotlight for such a weird reason.Unfortunately, by the time she realized that this might be Aso Maruka's premeditated behavior, it was already too late.

The moment she got her tiara, she became the center of attention of the surrounding audience, and everyone wanted to confirm the true identity of this "lucky person".

After discovering that the person who got the flower in his head seemed to be a young girl, some people immediately started to try to trick him. Some asked Delphinium if they could show it to him, and some asked Delphinium if he would exchange the flower in his head for another. Bags of candies... Fans who were extremely enthusiastic due to the atmosphere of the concert flocked to the concert, and even a little scared Bai Jingxuan who was standing aside.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Aso Maruka, who had finished her last performance on the stage, neither continued singing nor left the stage to prepare for the next performance.Instead, his eyes moved to where Delphinium was, and he spoke with a bright smile:
"Thank you everyone for coming to watch my performance today. This is also my first time to hold a concert in Fangting City, Donghua Prefecture. I didn't expect Fangting to be such a welcoming city. To be honest, I feel a little flattered. Got it!"

“I just happened to see the little fan who got her first flower off the stage seemed very excited and had something to say, so let’s welcome her to the stage!”

As soon as this sentence came out, the fans in the audience responded with bursts of cheers. Even the audience who had tried to coax the first prize had to stop thinking after hearing the description of "little fans" , could only applaud helplessly.

Only the center of the topic, the "little fan" who got the crown, opened and closed his lips in disbelief.

"Excited"?When did you show similar emotions?

She had no idea what Maruka Aso's plans were now, but having been her teammate for many years, she knew very well how out of tune this "diva" who looked so radiant on stage was.

If Delphinium really wants to put a personality label on each of the former Fangting City team members, then the label belonging to Maruka Aso must be "confidence", or "self-centered".

If something can make her feel happy or be beneficial to her, even if it may cause trouble to others, Aso Maruka will not hesitate to choose to have fun first.

Unlike Su Shengzi, another member of the same team who also behaves in his own way, if Su Shengzi is completely immersed in his own world and does not care about the opinions of the outside world; then Aso Maruka is the one who weighs the pros and cons. Just having your own way.

Because of this, Delphinium is now unsure of what kind of medicine is contained in the other party's gourd.

It's just that the arrow is on the string, and she has no room to escape when she is called out on such an occasion.Finally, he walked onto the stage amidst the slightly worried looks of Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang, and walked up to Maroka Aso with drooped eyelids.

Standing under the slightly dazzling spotlight, Delphinium raised her hand slightly to block the light above and looked at the woman in front of her: After more than ten years, she finally saw her old friend up close again.

However, Margaret was not looking at the delphinium at this time, but still holding the microphone, smiling, and interacting with the audience off the stage.

Following his gaze towards the audience, Delphinium looked at the dark crowd. The sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami kept hitting the stage. The crowd at the venue at night seemed to become a black tide, washing away the stage. Island.Just standing here is probably enough to make some timid people's legs weak.

The fans closest to the stage, whose faces Delphinium could see clearly, were looking at her eagerly, with feelings of envy and expectation in their eyes.

Are you being regarded as a fan representative?

Delphinium couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Obviously, these fans are expecting her to express their welcome, love and a series of eager emotions on behalf of the "fans of Fangting City".

But unfortunately, although Delphinium is standing here, she is actually not a fan or fan at all. If you want to quantify a fan's admiration for "Mary", Delphinium probably has to stand in the last row.

Feeling the ardent emotions of those in the audience, Delphinium pursed her lips and looked at Aso Maruka, and saw that the other party had also turned his head to look at her.She waved to the audience on the stage to "listen quietly", and then handed the microphone to Delphinium like a kind big sister. All her actions were extremely smooth, but she still had the "singing star" on her face. The business smile is like a mask on the face, not revealing the real face at all.

It seemed that Aso Maruka had no intention of revealing unnecessary information on the stage, and even tried to pretend that she was a stranger to him, which somewhat reassured Delphinium.So she sorted out her emotions, made up a set of words from the perspective of a "fan", went through what she was going to say next in her mind, and endured the discomfort before saying:

"Ma...Mary, welcome to Fangting City. Everyone...likes you very much. I hope you can also like Fangting City."

This sentence made Aso Maruka take two steps back in an exaggerated manner, covering her mouth as if she was very happy: "Really? You like me very much?"

Delphinium said "hmm" with a wooden face.

Aso Maruka turned the microphone to the audience again, covering her ears with her palms like a lively girl: "Is what she said true?"

"real!"

the fans shouted in unison.

"Thank you! I'm so happy!"

Showing a bright smile to the audience, Aso Madoka winked refreshingly and skillfully: "Thank you! I also like you the most! So I dedicate this song to you as a gift, your favorite " Sophia’s Love Letter!”

As her words fell, the band on the stage immediately started playing the prelude of the song, and the originally dazzling spotlight also changed its color, from dazzling white to soft pink.

Then, while the prelude was still playing, Maruka Aso led Delphinium to the side of the stage, and said with an extremely fake business smile: "Of course, I like you too."

"what……"

Delphinium, who had no idea what was going on, grinned and smiled dryly, thinking it was in response to the other party's words.

However, before she could make any further movements, she felt Aso Maruka's face suddenly get much closer, and then, there was a soft touch on her forehead.

This feeling only lasted for a moment, but Delphinium still understood what it was, so that her whole body tensed up at this moment.

It's a kiss.

A kiss on the forehead, it looked like an intimate act between a big sister and a little sister, so much so that the audience didn't think much about the kiss when they saw it.

Of course, this does not prevent envious and jealous viewers from shouting wildly, nor does it prevent fans who feel they have seen the softer side of their idols from shouting crazily.Just such a move, the shouts from the audience almost overturned the entire venue.

The shouts also spread outside the venue, bringing Lin Xiaolu, who was still chatting with the mysterious trio, back to her senses.

Then, it evolved into the scene Lin Xiaolu saw.

……

……

When the concert finally ended, after several hours of carnival and even three encores, singer Aso Maruka's tour concert in Fangting City finally came to an end.

Even after the performance was over, many fans in the audience were still immersed in that eager emotion and were still chatting with each other excitedly.

Of course, this is also because it is the last concert of Aso Maruka's tour.Fangting City is the last stop on his tour. After this stop, the concert will come to an end. For a long time in the future, the fans present will probably not get such a hearty performance.

The combination of multiple factors made fans reluctant to leave even after three encores. They still gathered in the venue and felt the last remaining warmth.

Delphiniums are naturally not included.

In fact, she wanted to rush backstage immediately, pull out Madoka Aso, and ask this guy what he was doing.Or what is going on in this person's mind.Of course, a simple kiss on the forehead is a small thing...probably a small thing, but the nature of doing such a thing in public is completely different. What is it for, just for bad taste?

Holding Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang in hand, they walked outside the venue with a solemn expression. Delphinium quickly found Lin Xiaolu among the crowd.After Lin Xiaolu and Jiang Yuan parted, they quickly grabbed Lin Xiaolu and walked toward the depths of the venue aggressively.

Xia Liang, who had watched the whole thing from the beginning, had already guessed what was going on, so he just followed Delphinium with interest.But Lin Xiaolu obviously hadn't understood the situation yet. Seeing Delphinium's abnormal behavior, she couldn't help but ask:

"Where are we going?"

"Go find someone." Delphinium said without looking back.

"Who?" Lin Xiaolu blinked blankly.

"The one who was singing on stage just now." Delphinium's voice had no fluctuation.

"That singer? Why?"

Lin Xiaolu followed Delphinium step by step. After hearing this answer, she couldn't help but quicken her pace and ran to her side: "Did you find anything wrong on the stage?"

"……Ugh."

Delphinium sighed, not knowing why she sighed: "It's not that there's anything wrong, but that I know her. Rather, I came to the concert today just to confirm her identity."

"Eh? Ah! So that's what it is?" Lin Xiaolu asked in surprise after realizing it.

"That is to say, the protagonist of today's concert, the singer named Maruka Aso, is actually our senior."

After receiving Delphinium's approval, Xia Liang, who was standing by the side, finally spoke and explained to Lin Xiaolu: "She was once a magical girl in Fangting City and was junior's teammate."

"It turns out that Delphinium's teammates... No, how did you know?" Lin Xiaolu looked at her with some confusion.

"You can guess it, not to mention your father showed us the photos of the previous team in Quanting City."

Xia Liang, who was asked the core of the question, didn't panic at all and explained casually: "Didn't you find that the singer looks very similar to one of the people in the photo?"

"You even remember this kind of thing?"

"Hmph, you should have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the things around you."

The two of them chatted about unproductive topics and followed Delphinium all the way to the inner circle of the venue. The backstage of the concert was also where the staff were resting at this time.

The slender corridor extends all the way to the back of the stage. There are several rest rooms marked with nameplates in the corridor. The doors are closed. At the same time, several staff members wearing security uniforms can be seen standing in the corridor with serious expressions. On duty here.

"Hello, I'm looking for someone."

Walking forward, Delphinium made a surprising statement.

I saw a few girls who looked young running into the infield, and started saying things like "go in and find someone," just like fanatical fans.One of the security guards looked puzzled at first, and then wanted to drive him away.But before he could stop him, another security guard on the side seemed to realize something, grabbed him and whispered to him.

After finishing speaking, although the security guard's doubts did not diminish at all, he said nothing more. After hesitating for a while, he just nodded to Delphinium and let her in.

With Delphinium's hearing, she could naturally hear the content of her whisper, which was: "Miss Mary's instructions, if there is a little girl who comes to her wearing fancy clothes, just put them in."

Without fussing with the security personnel, Delphinium continued to lead the three girls in. Soon, they found the lounge marked with the name "Aso Maruka".

What is more eye-catching than this name are the other three girls standing against the wall in the corridor outside the door.

The three girls looked to be about the same age as Lin Xiaolu and others, and more importantly, their faces were all recognizable to Delphinium - these were all magical girls from Bai'an City.

When she went to Bai'an City to look for clues about the disappearance of the investigation team, she briefly cooperated with these magical girls there.

Delphinium saw these people, and these people naturally saw Delphinium, especially the blond girl among them. After seeing Delphinium, she subconsciously covered her forehead, as if she remembered something bad. The same memories.

Of course, it was not just Delphinium who recognized these people, Lin Xiaolu also reacted.Because she immediately realized that these people were the same trio she had met in the corridor before, and they looked like a familiar trio.

"What are you doing here?" The question blurted out of her mouth.

"We? We are the staff here? But what are you doing here?"

The blond girl standing in the middle immediately replied, but after seeing the Delphinium on the side, her arrogance suddenly weakened a bit, and her questioning tone became less confident: "No, why are you following me?" …”

Her words got stuck at this point, and she didn't know whether she had forgotten Delphinium's name or simply didn't dare to say more.

Seeing her silence in the middle of her words, another girl wearing glasses could only sigh helplessly, stood up from the side, patted her on the shoulder, and said to Delphinium:
"Hello, Sir Inspector, long time no see. I am Bai Ji from Bai'an City. Are you here today to find a mentor?"

"Who is your mentor?" Delphinium asked.

"The mentor's code name is 'Margaret'." Bai Ji paused: "She said you should be familiar with this code name, so she has already given us instructions before. If we see you, please tell us to wait a moment outside the door. wait."

"She is also a magical girl from Bai'an City?" Delphinium asked again.

"Teacher...what she said is not entirely true."

Bai Ji said neither humble nor arrogantly: "But this is not something we students can talk about casually. Please ask her for information."

"What's there to hide...Isn't it just a matter of name in Bai'an?" The blonde girl finally had time to hold back a sentence, but as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ji glanced at her, and she suddenly stopped in anger. Mouth.

This conversation had no beginning and no end, and could even be called abrupt. Lin Xiaolu was confused as she didn't understand how Delphinium suddenly became so familiar with several "strangers" in her memory. , and listening to his conversation, it seems that he knows a lot about magical girls.

She first looked at the trio in front of her, and then looked at Xia Liang as if asking for help. After realizing that Xia Liang was also a little confused, she could only look at Delphinium again, and stretched out her hand to tug on Delphinium's sleeve.

Delphinium looked at her with a somewhat helpless look.

"Then let's put other topics aside for now, and let's introduce each other first."

Understanding what Lin Xiaolu wanted to express, Delphinium had no choice but to turn around and spread his hands to gesture to Lin Xiaolu and the others: "This is the current member of our Magic Girl Team in Fangting City."

Then he faced Lin Xiaolu and the others, and extended his hands to the magic girls in Bai'an City: "These three are the magic girls team from Bai'an City, a city near Fang Ting. I met them when I went to Bai'an on a business trip. .”

After her introduction, several girls who were still in the dark figured out what was going on. Not only Lin Xiaolu, but also Bai Jingxuan and the taciturn girl from Bai'an City looked like they suddenly understood.

——"Ah, that's it, hello."

"How are you!"

After understanding the situation, greetings were naturally unavoidable. Headed by Xia Liang and Bai Ji, several magical girls greeted each other in a strange but somewhat polite manner.

Bai Ji is rigorous, the blond girl is casual, the taciturn girl is low-pitched, Xia Liang is kind, and Bai Jingxuan is serious.

Several people have different ways of greeting each other, but among them, there is one who is the most special.

That is Lin Xiaolu.

After learning that the mysterious girls in front of her turned out to be magical girls from the city next door, combined with the inexplicable feeling of familiarity before, she finally figured out why she felt that the blond girl looked familiar.

After figuring out the identity of the other party and identifying who he was, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pointed at the blond girl. Without even saying hello, she subconsciously shouted:
——"Ah, you are the one who takes a bath with the slime of the dead beast!"
