Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 248 Leaving Fangting
February 2, 10 am, sunny.

In the Magical Girls' Base in Fangting City, Delphinium was in her room, doing the final luggage check on her suitcase.

"Clean clothes, toiletries, proof of leaving the city, driver's license, cell phone, keys, wallet..."

She looked at each item one by one, muttering to herself, and only after confirming again and again that no key items were left out did she close her suitcase.

"Well, no problem."

She was so sure of it.

Going to the country for the qualification assessment was something that had already been decided long ago, and the relevant preparations had been going on for a long time. Next, she only needed to act according to the established matters.

She dragged the suitcase out of the room and walked all the way to the stairs. She looked at the slightly narrow staircase, then looked at the suitcase at hand. After a while, she raised her fingers, drew a few lines in the air, and used her magic outfit to create a simple zipline, lifted the suitcase and carried it down.

One person waited in the living room for a while. About ten minutes later, several juniors from Fangting City's team came down from upstairs one after another. Several people waited for a while until Aso Yuanxiang also yawned and came to the first floor. After handing over some work to Cuique, they officially set out from the base.

Several younger members of the Bai'an City team had returned to their own city a week ago. Now only Aso Yuanxiang is left in Fangting. If nothing unexpected happens, she will work with Hong Siyu to ensure the safety of the city after Cuique and others leave Fangting City.

Driving away from the city with the younger generations, driving smoothly to the land-based ship port, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Delphinium felt that the vision became wider. The buildings that gradually disappeared in the rearview mirror were blurred like a silhouette, and the air was less dusty and more pure.

On both sides of the road heading to the suburbs, farms gradually replaced buildings, and from time to time you can see large tracts of farmland, which are boundless and seem to have no end. Looking at the horizon, the open sky is like a huge canvas, painted with colors by the morning sun, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Soft golden light spread on the road ahead. Occasionally, a few early spring birds flew past the car window, and their chirping faded away, adding a bit of poetry to this early morning journey.

After driving on this field road for more than ten minutes, the outline of the port gradually appeared in the sight of Delphinium and others.

As the outermost building of the city, the Land Cruiser Port is usually built on the basis of the city's defense net. Outside the port is the wasteland, and inside the port is the city. Therefore, this place can be called a key border defense area. Although there is technical support from the country, a city's defense net often does not have a single crippled beast break into it for several years, but once a crippled beast breaks in, it is often a serious problem, so the cooperation between the port and the city's Strategy Bureau is actually quite close.

Although the port is far away from the city, it has a huge flow of people and a large number of passengers coming in and out every day, so there is a fairly mature business circle around it, with food, accommodation and entertainment available. It is like an independent town.

Driving through the business district, several younger generations couldn't help but look around. After all, they were still young, so they didn't have many memories of leaving the city or riding a landship. Lin Xiaolu had once left Fangting for a family trip, and Bai Jingxuan had ridden a landship when she moved to Fangting with her parents, but they were very young at the time, so their memories were vague.

From the rearview mirror, Kuija saw several of his juniors leaning on the car windows and looking around. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he silently slowed down the car.

Ten minutes later, Delphinium's car parked in the port parking lot, and the girls took their suitcases from the car and walked into the huge port area on foot.

The travel tickets had already been prepared by the Special Strategies Bureau, and considering that the bureau's recent financial expenditures were not abundant, Lin Yun did not approve his subordinates' request for four first-class cabins, and only approved two economy-class cabins.

Under the guidance of Delphinium, the group easily completed the process of ticket collection, luggage check-in, security check, etc. During the process, they only encountered a little resistance during the security check, because the staff could not find their "guardian" after searching for a long time.

"Although you have bought tickets, because the intercity voyage of the land ship is risky, we cannot allow minors to board the ship alone without adult accompaniment." This is what the staff member said at the time.

"I am an adult." This was Delphinium's answer.

"You are... uh..." The staff member originally wanted to confirm the authenticity of his statement, but when he found out that the one claiming to be an "adult" was actually the youngest one in the group of little girls, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​verifying it:

"Little boy, we are doing a security check here. It is a very serious matter. Lying will not work here."

"...I am really an adult." Having anticipated that such a situation might occur, Kuiqi was not too surprised by this. She just took out the identity certificate she had prepared in advance with a little helplessness.

This identity certificate is authentic, endorsed by the Strategy Bureau and fully valid, and it is genuine. So when the staff could not find any problems after several verifications, they apologized and let Cuique and others enter the waiting area.

"Little boy, chuckle." After walking out of the security check area, Xia Liang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Stop talking nonsense." Delphinium rolled her eyes in response.

This little incident naturally did not affect everyone's itinerary, and soon, the land ship heading to Yannan City began checking tickets on time.

The journey to the kingdom is long. In the entire material world, only the central city has trains that can go directly to the kingdom. Each state has a dedicated track that circles around the central city of the entire state, and then takes all the passengers out of the material world and to the magic kingdom.

Because of this, the Fangting City team must first go to Yannan City, the central city closest to them, and then transfer to the national special train before they can successfully reach the country.

The time involved was also calculated by Delphinium. According to the speed of the land ship, everyone would probably arrive in Yannan City tomorrow morning, and then transfer to the national special train on the same day. After a whole night and a morning of travel, they would arrive at the magic kingdom the next afternoon.

Unlike the previous business trip to Bai'an City alone, because Yannan City is farther away, this time everyone has to spend a night on the land ship. The economy class of the land ship generally has two beds, so Lin Yun only approved two rooms before.

And soon, he had to pay the price for the decision he had made.

——"I want to share a room with Delphinium!" Standing beside the bed opposite Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu expressed her attitude quite firmly.

"It's me, my mom...and the teacher!" But Bai Jingxuan didn't give in at all.

"You are already a big kid. Shouldn't you exercise your independence in such situations? You will never become an adult if you keep acting like a spoiled brat in front of your elders every day!" Lin Xiaolu accused.

"Sister Xiaolu has no right to say that to me! You are obviously older than me!" Bai Jingxuan was dissatisfied.

"Haha, because I've already had enough experience of being independent, I don't need to practice this kind of thing anymore." Lin Xiaolu said complacently.

"Well, I also have this experience!" Bai Jingxuan argued.

"No, wait, no matter how you want to argue, forget about this so-called 'independence'..." Delphinium on the side had to dissuade them.

"Ahahaha...is it so unwilling to live in the same room with me?" Xia Liang on the other side couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt.

In the end, neither Cuique nor Xia Liang could stop the two people's childish argument, and the battle for the "bed opposite Cuique" never had a result. In the end, both Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan were so dry-mouthed from arguing that neither of them could convince the other.

Seeing that the problem could not be solved, Xia Liang on the side finally gave an advice.

——"Although this is not my original intention...but at this time, should we use this to decide the outcome?" She said this and took out a paper box from her backpack. "What is that?" Lin Xiaolu asked in confusion.

"Flying chess." Xia Liang said with a smile, "I originally used it because I was worried that you would get bored on the road. Now it seems like it can just solve your two problems?"

"Flying chess?" Bai Jingxuan's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Flying chess?" Cuique looked at Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan's reactions and thought for a moment: "It's not impossible."

After all, from her point of view, she could neither allow the dispute between the two to continue to escalate, nor could she actively choose one of them to room with herself. If she wanted to continue to balance between the two children, letting them decide the winner on their own was the best way.

As a means of deciding the winner, flying chess is safe and gentle enough, and there is no need to worry about any major problems.

"If you insist, I have no objection..."

Lin Xiaolu narrowed her eyes slightly: "But what if Delphinium wins in the end? A rematch?"

"Well, if the young senior wins, he should naturally get a reward. Why not give me a room as a reward..." Xia Liang said halfway with a smile, but his words were soon interrupted by Cuiqiao's voice.

——"Everyone gets one point for every win, and the first person to reach 3 points wins."

She folded her arms and said, "If I win, for every round I win, you will have to do an extra set of school exams after you return to Fangting City after the exam."

"Eh?"

"what?"

"Well……"

The three girls sitting opposite her immediately showed different expressions, but there was no doubt that this condition was a little difficult for them to accept.

But soon, after a brief thought, several people made another decision:
——"Okay, let's fight it out!"

……

……

"Lost, lost..." A few hours later, Lin Xiaolu rested her hands on the chessboard, looking at the scattered chess pieces with a gloomy expression, mumbling.

"It's just one round left..." Bai Jingxuan sat aside, holding the dice and pouting, with a look of unwillingness on her face.

The final winner of the game, the one who first won three games, was Xia Liang, who was looking embarrassed at the moment.

In the whole game, Lin Xiaolu was the first to score a point. With her unreasonable luck at the beginning, she scored a point as quickly as possible and proudly declared that her luck was unmatched. Unfortunately, she only won this one game.

Bai Jingxuan won two games and even got the match point first, but unfortunately she failed to maintain her good luck to the end and failed.

In the end, Xia Liang came from behind and fought his way out of the encirclement. With his relatively meticulous tactical arrangements and his luck with the dice, he finally got three points. In fact, he almost made Lin Xiaolu cry because he sent her chess pieces home too many times during the process.

As for Delphinium, she had no intention of winning at all. The so-called extra test paper was just a joke. She just wanted to play with the child symbolically. So she only won one game in the middle of the game to prove that she was not perfunctory, and then she didn't score any more points.

In other words, according to the agreement made by everyone earlier, Xia Liang and Cuique will live in the same cabin during their time on the land ship.

"Damn it, you cunning fellow, I'm sure you suggested using flying chess as the way to compete because it's the sport you're best at!"

After being depressed, the first thing Lin Xiaolu did when she regained her spirits was to question Xia Liang's motives: "Did you plan this scene a long time ago, and you are laughing in your heart now!"

"That's right!" Bai Jingxuan echoed from the side.

"Well... how should I put it... I said that my previous knowledge of flying chess was limited to the extent of 'knowing the rules'. Would you believe me?"

Xia Liang laughed dryly and raised his hands in a surrender gesture: "At first I really just wanted to treat it as a pure entertainment project, and didn't consider anything else."

"No, I think the competition schedule is not fair enough. I demand a rematch!" Lin Xiaolu shouted.

"That's right!" Bai Jingxuan shouted.

"Even if you say so..."

Xia Liang looked at the two of them helplessly: "But I also worked hard to win..."

——"That's right, stop it and don't make trouble, Baimei, Boxue."

Reaching out her hands and holding down Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan's heads respectively, Cuiqiao concluded the matter: "Xiaojin won, so he should get the agreed reward. As for the two of you, if you lose, you lose. You can win it back in the future. You must learn to accept defeat and not cheat."

"Your next task is to go to another cabin and settle your things. By the way, confirm whether the various equipment in your cabin is functioning normally. If there is any problem, we will have to contact the maintenance personnel."

Delphinium rubbed their heads, then let go and mercilessly ordered them to leave: "Now, take your luggage and go to another cabin."

Her words were like a bolt from the blue to Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan.

It's not just because they lost, Xia Liang and Cui Qin will live together next, but also because they all realized a cruel fact at the same time:

——You have to sleep in the same cabin with the other person.
