Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 21 Clean Up Afterwards
Misty water mist filled the bathroom, and steaming heat lingered under the heating lamp.Lin Xiaolu scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face, leaning against the bathtub, her expression gradually changed from dull to relaxed.

She was dazed for a while, and her slack pupils regained their divine light. She slowly buried her face in the hot water, and the bubbles spit out from her mouth "hululu" rose to the surface of the water, making a "pa la hua la" sound.

It was still afternoon, but the time was approaching. Lin Xiaolu was cleaning the dirt from the battle in her bathroom.

After several rounds of bubbling with shower gel, several rounds of rinsing, and several rounds of rinsing while combing her hair, she sat down in the bathtub with a sense of relief, and was able to soothe her nerves.

Undoubtedly, although today's battle with Remnant Beast was full of problems and surprises, it also brought a lot of gains.

In addition to gaining experience in combat and cooperation, he also gained a little insight into the rare beasts of the dissolved cavity.At least after such a battle, Lin Xiaolu felt that she had indeed learned something.

Delphinium's teaching methods are successful.

The reverence for delphinium in her heart increased a little, Lin Xiaolu couldn't help closing her eyes, imagining the day when she would become an ideal magical girl under the guidance of delphinium.

Presumably at that time, I must have been mature, cold, powerful, and beautiful...

The daydream in her head made Lin Xiaolu smile involuntarily, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyebrows raised, and she was obviously in a good mood.

——"Have you finished soaking?"

"Wow!" Lin Xiaolu was startled by the sudden voice from beside her ear.

Turning around, I saw Xia Liang wrapped in a bath towel standing by the bathtub, looking at her with a smile.

Her wet black hair was still a little steamy, and she had obviously just come out of the shower next door.

"No, no."

Lifting her face from the water, Lin Xiaolu said disgustedly: "If you let me take a shower while I'm in the bath, it's already considered a great mercy. Go out and wait after you're done. This is my home. I won't leave the bathtub behind." For you."

"Hey - but I was also poured dirty water, I want to go in and take a bath quickly."

While talking, Xia Liang moved closer to the bathtub: "Why don't you let me in and squeeze in? I don't mind?"

"I mind! It's crowded! You're so disgusting!"

Reaching out to block the edge of the bathtub, Lin Xiaolu directly refused three times: "Does this person really know what the distinction between host and guest is? Don't push yourself too hard!"

"Then please?" Xia Liang clasped his hands together and begged with a wink.

"It's useless to lower your attitude! Get out!"

"I stretch."

"Don't come here, and don't come in without authorization! I told you not to—"

The noise in the bathroom was getting louder and louder. Although the specific content could not be heard clearly, Lin Xiaolu's bluffing could be heard even in the living room.

Delphinium leaned her legs sideways and sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the object in her hand in a daze.

It was a half-mutilated piece of green disc-shaped metal, which had been corroded to the point of being pitted and pitted, and its original appearance could not be seen.

When she was about to leave the previous battlefield, she found this object from the remains of the beast, and because she thought it was a bit unusual, she brought it back.

Staring at the disc, she always felt that this thing seemed a bit like a... valve?
Why is there such a thing in the belly of the remnant beast?
Feeling as if he had grasped a certain clue, some dormant memories in his mind were awakened, Delphinium simply leaned back, leaned his upper body on the back of the sofa, and raised his head in thought.

- Click.

The door of the bathroom not far away was suddenly opened, and the noise that had been vague before became clear.

"Hurry up—get out!" Lin Xiaolu's angry voice followed.

"Ah! Don't use such force, the towel will be torn off by you!"

Then came Xia Liang's voice.

Lin Xiaolu didn't care what she said, and pushed Xia Liang outside the door: "You are so annoying!"

Bang!
Then, the bathroom door was slammed shut.

Xia Liang, who was left outside the door, had no choice but to walk out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, then passed the living room, and met the delphinium with its head up.

Unlike when we first met a few days ago, there is a big difference in Xia Liang's image now.

The original highlights on the bangs were washed off at some point, and the slightly curly hair ends were permed back to straight hair.Without light makeup, her youthful facial features were fully revealed, and it was obvious that she was just a junior high school student.

If the image of Xia Liang in Electric Street at that time was a flashy and fashionable girl, then Xia Liang, who is smiling calmly now, can only make people think that she is a good, quiet and well-behaved boy.

Delphinium's originally somewhat sloppy eyes gradually gathered, seeing Xia Liang dressed only in a bath towel, paused for a while, and suggested:
"Why don't you go find a bathrobe and put it on?"

"Huh? It seems to be okay?"

Xia Liang readily accepted, but soon encountered a new problem: "But is there a bathrobe here?"

"Clean bathrobes are placed in..."

Delphinium wanted to answer subconsciously, but remembered that she was not Lin Yun now.Although she is in her own home, she cannot reveal her identity as the owner of the house. On the surface, she is just a guest like Xia Liang.

So she changed her words without showing any signs of expression: "If there is a storage cabinet at the door of the bathroom, maybe it will be put in the cabinet? You can also ask Bai Mei."

"Bai Mei? Oh, hum, then I'll ask her again."

I don't know why Xia Liang is so keen on provoking Lin Xiaolu. After realizing that there is another reason to harass Lin Xiaolu, she immediately walked back to the bathroom with a chuckle.

Maybe it's just because it gets angry like a small animal blowing hair just because it's poked?Feel like fun?
Speculating from the personalities of the two people, Delphinium can come up with such an answer.

She doesn't mind Xia Liang's obviously harmless provocation, as long as it's not a hatred, it's just a young man's joke.

However, looking at Xia Liang's receding figure, her development is obviously a little ahead of her peers, which made delphinium worry about Lin Xiaolu that only parents would have.

My daughter, will she be a dwarf in the future?

Although the 14-year-old is still full of hope, and there are still many years for Lin Xiaolu to come from behind and achieve a counterattack, but there is indeed no sign of it now.

Logically speaking, as Lin Xiaolu's parents, Lin Yun and Anya's height is definitely above average, not to mention superior.As a father, Lin Yun is over 1.8 meters tall, and as a mother, Anya is also close to 1.7 meters tall.Lin Xiaolu has no reason to be shorter than her peers, but her current height is 1.4 meters three, which is far below the average line.

Why is it?

Delphinium put the incomplete disk aside, stood up silently, and walked towards the kitchen.

She tiptoed by the sink to rinse her hands, then opened the disinfection cabinet and took out a few teacups from it.

Skillfully arranging the teacups side by side, she sprinkled the tea leaves. She used her toes to force herself up a little higher with a blank expression, then picked up the thermos bottle and poured boiling water into it.

It is expected that Lin Xiaolu's personality would never think of making tea for guests, so she can only do this kind of thing.
