Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 205: Reunion suddenly feels like a dream

——"So, it's just because of this?"

Ten minutes later, in the director's office, Lin Yun stood aside, looking at the two people sitting on the sofa facing each other, and sighed inexplicably: "I just went to another department, why did you two get into trouble now?" ?”

"This is obviously senior's fault, right?"

Hongsi and Wenyan leaned forward and pointed to Aso Maranka, who was sitting opposite them. At this time, the old god was there: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Maranka is back! And you didn't even mention it to me?"

"...This is not my problem. This guy didn't notify me before."

Lin Yun crossed his arms and looked away from Hong Siyu subconsciously: "How should I put it? Even if I know that a singer with the same name is coming to Fangting City to hold a concert, I can't confirm that it is him until I actually meet him. I'll tell you directly. If we find out in the end that we are not the same person at all, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if we make a mistake?”

"So the final result is not to take me with you?"

Hong Siyu pointed at herself: "You mean, the entire Fangting City Jiabaan City team went to the concert, and everyone ran out to play together in private. Only I had to take a day off during weekends." What about me? "

"I don't think you need to continue treatment..." Lin Yun hesitated.

——"I also have objections. If you search on the Internet, you can see my photos."

"What? Senior, you don't understand at all. I'm not talking about money!" Hong Siyu suddenly became even more unhappy.

"The chief has said it before, I have been cured, cured! Look at me now, there are still traces of the remnant beast!"

Lin Yun shook his head: "Even if I can't find a few clear and unprocessed frontal photos on the Internet, your current image is also quite different from the one I remember when I was a child. How can I confirm that it's me without going to the scene?"

"I have a lot of serious things to do here, how can I spend half a day just to listen to a few songs."

"After all, why did you decide to go to another woman's concert so easily? What if the singer is not Madoka herself?"

Going forward further, I go back to my school days. At that time, because I wanted to go to higher school, and magical girls took up a lot of time, I seemed to be the only one in the team who was studying every day besides fighting crippled beasts. .

He briefly recalled his daily life, to be precise, not only his current life, but also his life when Anya was still alive. No matter what time period he was in, it seemed that his focus was only on "work". And now, after becoming a magical girl again, in addition to having an additional option to take care of children, he also has more magical girl-level work.

Lin Yun was stunned.

Hong Siyu stood slightly on tiptoe and forced her eyes to meet Lin Yun's: "Wouldn't that be a complete advantage to other women?"

Hong Siyu stood in front of Lin Yun and stretched out her hands: "Senior, can you take a closer look? Am I not a normal beautiful girl like this? Can't I see people like this?"

"What kind of mid-life crisis speech? When it comes to 'popular elements', you stay away. When you open your mouth, it's 'serious business.' How did you become such a boring guy after you got married?"

Maruka Aso on the side raised her hand at this time: "I'm so famous, don't you know if it's me if you check it?"

Lin Yun lowered his head helplessly: "I didn't think carefully."

"……Feel sorry."

"What nonsense are you talking about, sister, my portrait photos are all original photos and do not require post-processing!"

"It's a bit too much to say that going to someone else's concert is cheap..." Lin Yun couldn't help but twitched his lips, "Aso's ticket fee is not very expensive, nor is it just to go to a performance. What a loss."

Aso Maruka stuck out her tongue and put on a disgusted expression: "No, the average middle-aged uncle still has some hobbies of fishing, playing cards and collecting. Do you really have any decent hobbies?"

Aso Maruka's eyes suddenly widened: "And does your statement mean that if you can confirm that it is me, you will not go to my concert? Is it true or false? So ruthless? It's obviously my concert ?”

Lin Yun lowered his eyelids slightly: "You know, I'm not very good at things like pop music. I can't tell whether it's good or bad."

"This is your first time coming to Fangting City for a concert. How can there be so much detailed information about you on the intercity network here?"

What exactly is a “hobby”?

"Driving...does it count?"

After much deliberation, he could only find one thing that occupied a certain proportion of his life. It seemed that only when he was driving, he could relax his mind and didn't need to think about things like work.

"Wow, to use a saying that young girls like to say, this greasy middle-aged smell is overflowing." Aso Maruka subconsciously exclaimed.

"Senior..." Hong Siyu also looked at Lin Yun with somewhat sympathetic eyes.

Being looked at by the two people with such subtle expressions, even Lin Yun was a little bit unbearable: "Wait a moment, although I really don't have any hobbies in life, but I think what we were discussing before was something else. You guys Is this a topic that needs to be discussed now?”

"Sister, do you like this kind of person?"

However, this sentence failed to reach the other two people at all. Aso Maruka turned to Hong Siyu and said: "Don't be blinded by the filter of the past."

"Well... even if this is the case..."

Hong Siyu also put on a tangled expression very cooperatively: "I will convince myself that it doesn't matter. Men who focus on work are also very attractive..."

"Okay, you two are almost done."

Lin Yun drooped his eyelids and clapped his hands: "Hongsi and you, please don't make noises with Aso. We are finally reunited, shouldn't we exchange information first?"

"Ah, here it comes, what a standard mandarin." Aso Maruka snickered: "It doesn't matter if you have to change the subject, but you may miss some very interesting things. For example, do you know What did Hong Siyu say to me when I knew you weren't here? She was..." As soon as she said this, before Lin Yun could feel doubtful, Hong Siyu rushed over from the side. , covering her mouth from behind: "Nothing! I just thought the person who came to the office was a senior, so I called the wrong person. I was surprised when I saw it was actually Madoka!"

"Hmm?" Maroka Aso, whose mouth was covered, shook her head and tried to break free. However, Hong Siyu completely ignored her image at this time and hung on her back like an octopus, unable to get rid of her no matter what.

"Ha...so it's just embarrassing to call the wrong person?"

Seeing the strange behavior of these two people, Lin Yun also guessed that there might be a hidden secret. You know, when he came up from the Special Operations Department downstairs, what he saw was an extremely solemn Cold War scene. The two people were sitting on the sofas on both sides, looking at each other face to face, but no one said anything: "Just because of this, why is it so tense like what I saw when I came in?"

"Oh, I just made some suggestions for improvement, and Hong Siyu seems a little hard to accept." It took a lot of effort to pull Hong Siyu's hand off her face, and Aso Maroka chuckled: "Forget it. , Since you don’t want me to say it, I won’t say it.”

"The tactics that haven't been used yet must not be revealed here..."

Hong Siyu muttered behind her head: "Anyway, don't talk about this, hurry up and bring this topic over."

"Okay, okay, listen to you, sister."

Maroka Aso shrugged and said, "Then let's talk about the 'business' that Director Lin has been talking about."

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he was already used to the strangeness in Aso Maruka's words, so he didn't refute.

The director's room, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

"Which thing should we start with first? Your side or mine?"

Aso Maruka looked at Lin Yun, then at Hong Siyu: "For example, do you have any questions about the kingdom? I have been in the kingdom for the past ten years, and I should know more new news than you. But let me explain first, I heard a lot of things from hearsay and have not personally verified them, so please don’t blame me for any fallacies.”

"What is Su Shengzi doing now?" Lin Yun asked directly.

Except for Anya and Su Shengzi, the five remaining members of the old Fangting City team are already here. Leaving aside Anya, the fifth person who is not present will inevitably make people a little concerned.

What's more, this fifth person is still Su Shengzi.

I don’t know when it started, but there is a saying among magical girls that a successful magical girl team is often composed of the following members: an energetic mascot, a cold and proud fighter, a mature and sensible peacemaker, A psycho looking for trouble.

Such a formula was applied to the old Fangting City team. Although the role positioning of other people was slightly different, it was perfectly reflected in Su Shengzi.

——She is just a lunatic looking for trouble.

As long as Su Shengzi is around, the team will be arguing about some inexplicable and strange topics every day, and they will always work hard for some strange goals. I don't know how much energy is wasted.

The most profound memory for Lin Yun was when Su Shengzi studied the real-time technique of solidifying the corpse of a broken beast for the summer ghost exploration activity, processed the intercepted corpse of the broken beast into adventure materials, and finally combined Hongsi and Scared into the hospital.

Yes, Su Shengzi is also the smartest one in the team. Although her magic power and magical equipment quality are not outstanding, her understanding and research ability of spells are unique. She can even create her own magic spells based on the existing spell system. Create some original little tricks. This technique of solidifying the corpse of a broken beast was specially created by her.

Such a research-oriented talent is naturally favored by senior magical girls from all walks of life in the country. In fact, the first person in the team to talk to Emerald was not Lin Yun, but Su Shengzi.

According to Su Shengzi herself, Emerald personally extended an olive branch to her after asking her several questions, invited her to join the institute, and even promised to finish her flower card within ten years. However, Su Shengzi rejected such an attractive offer without even thinking about it.

"I only study things that interest me. I don't want to be ordered around by the powerful people in the royal court."

This is Su Shengzi's explanation for this.

And she finally fulfilled her words and retired without hesitation after serving ten years. After retiring, he left Fangting City, and his figure completely disappeared from Lin Yun's life.

At present, except for her and Anya, the other members have returned, but without such a big deal maker, it will indeed make people feel that something is missing.

"That woman...well, don't you know?"

Speaking of this, Aso Maruka suddenly sighed: "She ran away to the world alone."

"...Huh?" It took Lin Yun a few seconds to realize what the other party was saying. Hong Siyu on the side also widened his eyes after hearing this.

The interdimensional world is a world independent of the magical realm and the material world. Because the spatial connection with the other two worlds is extremely unstable, and the structure of the world itself is also very unstable, it has always been regarded as a "wild land". represent. There are even rumors that the world between the world is the origin of monsters like the beast.

A series of anti-state organizations such as Black Ember Dawn, Claw Mark, and the Resistance Army are even more entangled in the world. They seem to regard it as their base camp. It is not an exaggeration to call it a criminal paradise. For magical girls, it is no different than a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

And Su Shengzi, a magical girl who has retired and therefore completely lost her power, actually chose to run away to the next world alone?
"And the fact is that the last contact I had with her was nine years ago, which is when she retired and left Fangting City. I don't know much more than you do. I only heard her tell me that she was going to the next world. Her purpose What a ‘journey to find yourself’.”

Aso Maruka laughed dryly and said: "Then I can no longer contact her."

She actually didn't finish her sentence. For most people, if she ran alone to the next world and was never heard from again, it could basically be concluded that she was dead.

However, that person was Su Shengzi.

Just like Lin Yun has always felt unbelievable and had no real sense of Anya's death, Su Shengzi is also a person who makes people feel that the word "seeking death" has nothing to do with it.

No matter how bizarre or abnormal her behavior is, it will still make people think that she has her own agenda.

Therefore, combined with the fact that she loves the research and development of magic so much, but easily gave up the power of magical girls; and her various rebellious remarks in the past that despised the royal family's dignitaries; plus she seems to have always had a superhuman attitude towards the beasts. Out of ordinary people's curiosity, Lin Yun couldn't help but have a very strange idea in his mind.

"...Listen to what you said, that guy must have gone to seek refuge with Claw Mark, right?"
