Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 47: Early Summer
Summer vacation is undoubtedly a vacation, but the focus finally falls on the word "summer".

It was mid-July, and the weather was hot and dry in early summer. From time to time, there were grasshoppers neighing and clamoring on the street, complaining about the heat of the scorching sun.

The warm wind blows over the green street trees beside the road, even in the shade under the trees, there is no coolness. The air is full of heat, which makes people feel that their breaths are burning.

Lin Xiaolu sat quietly on the sofa in her living room, her eyes tightly closed.Even though she was at home, she turned into a magical girl, folded her hands in front of the heart seed on her chest, meditated, and the magic power surged all over her body.

The cabinet-type air conditioner in the living room is humming to deliver air-conditioning, making the temperature in the house cooler than outside, so even in such weather she can calm down and practice hard.

The hour hand of the wall clock on the wall beat silently, and walked half a circle unconsciously in the silent atmosphere, pointing to the exact position of eleven o'clock.

"It's time, rest!" A voice came from her side.

Retrieving her thoughts from the long meditation, Lin Xiaolu slowly opened her eyes and withdrew the magic power overflowing from her body.After a moment of sluggishness, she let out a long sigh, and her expression became lively again.

Looking in the direction of the previous sound, the pink cat-shaped elf was sitting there triumphantly.Seeing Lin Xiaolu looking at him, it wagged its tail and said, "It's great, I haven't interrupted my inspiration these two days, the progress is obvious, Xiaolu!"

"...Then I really appreciate your compliment."

Subconsciously, she wanted to curl her lips, but Lin Xiaolu still controlled her expression.

It has been nearly half a month since the summer vacation special training started, Delphinium has indeed kept its promise, and increased the tasks of magic power training and schoolwork several times, without mercy, almost completely depriving Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang of their summer vacation .

If it was something else, Lin Xiaolu couldn't bear it long ago, but firstly, this training was requested by herself; secondly, it was the senior she admired who made the plan; thirdly, it was related to whether she could become a A unique magical girl.Layers of reasons were superimposed, and she couldn't help but neglect.

And after this period of intensive practice, in addition to her own magic power and soul growing steadily, she has finally become a little more comfortable in controlling magic power.

Of course, it was still not as good as another newcomer in the same period.

"Hiss, it's so cold, can't the temperature of the air conditioner be turned up?"

Xia Liang, who came up from behind her, complained softly: "I feel so cold that my legs are shaking, and I can't concentrate at all."

"Then you can stay in another room." Lin Xiaolu glanced at her.

"It's too hot without an air conditioner?" Xia Liang smiled obediently.

"There are so many demands, if you want to feel comfortable, go back to your own home!" Lin Xiaolu gave her a vicious look.

"It's not that you don't know, I only have an old air conditioner at home." Leaning on the sofa shamelessly, and grabbing the pillow in front of him, Xia Liang murmured, quite enjoying, "Ah, it's much better this way." , I feel like I can continue to take a nap."

Originally, according to delphinium's idea, the training place for the next summer vacation should be at Xia Liang's house. Whether it is indoor training during the day or evening study meeting, they will all be held at Xia Liang's house. It can help Xia Liang to solve some problems lonely.

It's just that in this matter, Lin Xiaolu didn't know what kind of competition she had, she insisted on saying that her own home was fine, and finally changed the location of the special training during the day to Lin Xiaolu's home.Thus, the current awkward situation has been formed, training in one place during the day, and changing to another place for training at night.

"...You are the only one who has this thought." Seeing her calm demeanor, Lin Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to feel a little bit worried, "After all, your progress in practice is so fast."

After Xia Liang made his decision half a month ago, he completely focused on improving his strength. The talent he showed repeatedly exceeded Lin Xiaolu's and even Lin Yun's cognition.

Leaving aside her magic power growth rate, even the speed of soul strengthening is unreasonable, and the control accuracy of magic power is easy to come by. It is estimated that in half a month at most, her magic power and soul will be able to reach the cost of formation. phase threshold.

In contrast, for some magical girls with ordinary talents, it takes at least half a year to a year to reach this process from scratch.

In the current situation, it can be said that as long as Xia Liang masters the secret of forming the truth, he can calmly bloom to the bud level, and thus obtain his own magic power construction.

Although Lin Xiaolu's talent is not bad, she is still not as good as Xia Liang. If she wants to reach this standard, she may have to wait until after the summer vacation is over.

"Speaking of which, you haven't elaborated yet."

Xia Liang, who was hugging the pillow, suddenly said: "You said that a contact person sent you some strange messages a few days ago, what's going on?"

"Huh? So there are evil magical girls operating around Fangting City..."

Lin Xiaolu raised her cheeks indifferently: "What is it called? Claws?"

"Although I don't know my real name, it shouldn't be the one you mentioned."

Xia Liang felt a little helpless about her arrogant attitude: "But magical girls who do evil? So there are such people."

"Is it normal?"

Lin Xiaolu glanced at her: "After all, magic can hurt people."

"Indeed, this is different from what was shown on TV." Xia Liang couldn't help but sigh.

"On TV? A magical girl who doesn't hurt anyone? Then you're talking about animations from a few years ago, right?"

"Is it not now?"

"Not anymore."

Lin Xiaolu raised her body and counted with her fingers: "From the era of Magic Cannon Girls to the recent Sky Angels, magical girls have to avoid ordinary people when fighting with enemies."

"Xiaolu, you seem to know a lot about magical girl animation?" Xia Liang sensed the information in Lin Xiaolu's words.

"...take a look once in a while." Lin Xiaolu turned her face away.

"Occasionally?" Xia Liang asked in confirmation.

"Occasionally." Lin Xiaolu said firmly.

The two looked at each other, and Xia Liang's eyes were full of inquiries. Although Lin Xiaolu felt a little guilty, she stubbornly insisted on looking at her.

Thinking about it, she really doesn't want others to think that she likes magical girl animation.

"Hmph, I won't ask you this, let's talk about something else, what would it be like to be a bad magical girl?"

Seeing that teasing was useless, Xia Liang changed the subject: "Will bad magical girls drive out beasts?"

"I don't know, I won't do bad things after all."

"...Yes, I probably won't either."

It was rare for Lin Xiaolu to stop her with a single sentence, Xia Liang continued to ask: "Then, what should we do if we really encounter it?"

"I asked Delphinium, and she said that you should be careful when attacking. If you see a magical girl you don't know, just tell her."

Lin Xiaolu thought about it seriously: "I remember Delphinium said that she is an 'inspector', and it's also her task to catch bad magical girls, right?"

"Inspector..." Xia Liang raised her head.

- "Ding dong."

Just as the two started a new round of gossip with this word, the doorbell suddenly rang from the entrance.
