Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 197 The place you should go to
"Not taking the exam next year?"

Maruka Aso's words were like a depth bomb, causing all the girls in the Fangting City team to lose their voices. Delphinium was the only one to ask questions at this time, with a hesitant look on his face: "What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just a suggestion."

Aso Maruka's face remained normal, as if she didn't feel anything wrong with what she said: "If you insist on giving me an explanation, then you can regard the following competition as the 'preliminary test' for qualification certification. If you fail to pass the 'preliminary test' , naturally you will not be eligible to take the subsequent exams, is it normal?"

"Are you the examiner for next year's exam?"

"Not."

"Then I don't think you have the legitimacy to make such a proposal."

Delphinium raised her chin slightly, and her eyes turned slightly cold: "Or is this the purpose of your 'exchange' in Fangting City? Just to find trouble?"

"I've said it before, I don't have the slightest malice. If I'm just looking for trouble, there's no need for me to stumble on a group of little girls I've never met, right?" Maruka Aso looked innocent.

But the words in her mouth obviously couldn't convince Delphinium. Delphinium didn't even have the intention to reply, and just continued to stare at her in silence.

After holding on to this cold gaze for a few seconds, the smile on Aso Maruka's face finally became unsustainable. After the smile faded, it was replaced by a look of helplessness.

"Well, it seems like this really won't convince you."

She sighed softly: "Indeed, maybe we have to find a place to have a good talk. I can answer some of your doubts, and maybe you can tell me something I don't know."

"Looking for a place?"

"Well, at least not here."

Aso Maruka turned her head sideways, looked at the girls around her, and smiled mysteriously: "Some things are adults' topics. It's too early for children to understand them."

As soon as these words came out, the girls on the side had different expressions, some were indifferent, and some were obviously unconvinced.Lin Xiaolu took a step forward. Seeing that she was about to retort, she saw Delphinium suddenly nod before speaking.

"can."

She spoke crisply and loudly: "Where to go? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"You are the host here. You should be more thoughtful than me about where to talk, right?"

Aso Maruka crossed her arms: "I have come back after so many years. I am quite curious about what interesting places there are in Fangting City now. Please take me to see them."

"...Just go to the Foreign Policy Bureau in Fangting City."

Ignoring the second half of the other party's request, Delphinium suggested casually. It seemed that she was not interested in "where to go". She was more concerned about the content of the conversation: "The conference room of the Foreign Strategy Bureau can guarantee the content of the conversation. Hidden so that no one else can hear it."

"A different strategy? No, that would be too boring."

Maruka Aso rejected the proposal without hesitation, with a questioning look in her eyes: "Isn't there any more interesting proposal?"

"What do you want?" Delphinium looked back at her.

"Since I have returned to Fangting City, I will definitely have to visit the Foreign Policy Bureau, so shouldn't I take this opportunity to find a place with a more atmosphere?"

Maruka Aso pointed her arm with her finger: "Look, how about finding a better restaurant? Or an attraction built in recent years? It's more romantic."

"...If you don't want to go to the Foreign Strategy Bureau, we can go to the study room of the secret base to talk. There won't be any outsiders there."

"Secret base? Isn't that the place we will often go to next?"

Maruka Aso was dissatisfied: "You have stayed in Fangting City for more than ten years than me. You really can't think of it? You know, even if I searched on the Internet before I came here, I could see many people listing it. It's a 'check-in spot'."

"I'm really sorry, I'm such an uninteresting person." Delphinium couldn't help but lowered her eyelids and turned her face to look at the corridor to the side.

Probably because of the other party's previous instructions, there were only a few staff passing by on the corridor at this time, and they had no intention of moving forward. The area outside the lounge seemed to have some kind of artificial boundary, dividing the magical girl. Everyone outside is isolated.

Her eyes wandered without focus. After delphinium pursed her lips and thought for a while, she raised her head as if she had remembered something: "Speaking of which, if you really want to find a place where you can talk about things and have enough 'memorable significance', I do have a proposal."

"Oh? What's it like?" Maruka Aso's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she was interested.

"It's a very quiet place. Not many people go there often, but most people in Fangting City will inevitably deal with it."

Delphinium said with a calm voice and an expressionless face: "You know, you should go there and have a look."

"No one goes there, but I should go there and have a look... Is this a riddle?" Aso Maruka smiled bitterly.

"Is it hard to think of an answer?"

"It's a bit difficult. After all, there are too few clues and conditions. To be honest, there are too many places like this..."

In the middle of Madoka Aso's words, she suddenly lost her voice.

Even the expression on her face froze a little at this moment. She was silent for a long time, and then sighed resignedly: "Ah, I understand. You are right, it is not difficult to guess."

The two looked at each other inexplicably, and the atmosphere became much more tense at this moment, leaving the girls on the side completely confused.

"...So where is it? Is there such a place in Fangting City?"

Lin Xiaolu, who was on the side, had listened to the conversation between the two from beginning to end. At this time, she could only ask blankly: "Can you speak more clearly?"

"Sorry, Bai Mei, I may not be able to take you back. Can you take the tram or fly back in a more concealed manner?"

But Delphinium did not answer her question directly this time, but suddenly turned around and walked to her side, patted her arm: "Take the guests from Bai'an City to the secret base, remember to entertain them well, I and this Aunt Aso will come back later."

"What do you mean by aunt? Can't you speak more nicely?" Aso Maruka immediately retorted.

"Take them back, yes, yes...but where are you going?"

This strange atmosphere made Lin Xiaolu slightly uneasy. The arm that had been patted by the delphinium subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes: "Is it dangerous?"

"No, there's no danger."

Delphinium said lightly, then moved slightly closer to Lin Xiaolu, tried to lower her voice and said a location.

Her voice was indeed so soft that no one else around her heard what she said.But Lin Xiaolu got the answer she wanted, and her eyes widened slightly because of the answer.

Then, before she could say anything about this, Delphinium and Aso Maruka said goodbye to the other magical girls, walked towards the corner of the corridor, and disappeared from everyone's sight.Lin Xiaolu looked at the corner, pursed her lips, and was speechless for a long time, until Mu Baihe next to her came to her side, unable to restrain her inner doubts and said: "So where are they going? What did the senior patrol officer tell you? ?”

"...They want to see someone."

Lin Xiaolu then spoke again, turned her head with a complex expression, looked at her and replied slowly: "Delphite said that they want to go see my mother together."

……

……

One hour after the concert ended, the bustling concert scene finally gradually returned to calm.In the outfield of the Green Tower Stadium, although there were many fans who were still chatting enthusiastically, the surroundings were much deserted.

The lively crowd who stayed in place gradually dispersed from around the venue. A less conspicuous silver-white SUV drove out of the "Green Tower" stadium and slowly ran onto the road.This SUV was mixed in with the sparse traffic that was also leaving the stadium, driving slowly on the road like the most ordinary group of fans.

However, if someone is a little sharper and can see the passenger seat in the car, they will notice an unusual fact - the protagonist of the previous concert, Maruka Aso, is sitting in the passenger seat with a smile on her face.

At this time, the singer, who was supposed to be used to the luxury and luxury, was like a curious girl, fiddling with the furnishings in the carriage: poking the seat cushions, dialing the air-conditioning button, and then... I played with the window next to the passenger seat again.

Regarding her behavior, the driver in the main seat was indifferent at first, until the window was lowered halfway, he finally turned his head, glanced at her helplessly, and warned: "Don't open the window randomly, you Aren’t you worried about being photographed?”

It was Delphinium who was driving.

She had been silent before, not wanting to speak, looking straight ahead, acting as a cold driving machine.If it weren't for Aso Maruka's various little actions that really interfered with other people's attention, she wouldn't even have said this.

As she said these words, Aso Maruka, who was just making small moves silently, also turned her head, looked at her, and said with a bad smile: "Is there anything that can't be photographed?"

Delphinium's eyes were in contact with hers for a second, then she took the initiative to look away and looked at the road ahead again, pretending to be driving seriously: "You know, I don't want to see where we are going next. Some mysterious media person followed me."

"Ah, so."

After hearing this, Aso Maruka was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and closed the window with a smile: "Indeed, that shouldn't be a matter for outsiders to disturb."

There were only two people in the small SUV. After saying this, the two people stopped talking, and the car fell into a brief silence.

The main component of this silence is called "embarrassment."

If there were other people in the car at this time, the two of them would not have fallen into this inexplicable embarrassment, but unfortunately, there was indeed no third party in the car at this time.

It's not because there's nothing to say between them, but because there are so many questions that they can't think of where to start.

Fortunately, Aso Maruka did not let this embarrassment last too long. After a short silence, she lay back on the back of the seat and said slowly: "Speaking of which, don't you ask me why I came back now? "

"Why ask?"

"Usually I would still ask, after all, something like that happened before."

"Two years ago, I thought you would come, but you didn't show up."

As the vehicle turned a corner, Delphinium's eyes wandered between the rearview mirror and the front, and then turned the steering wheel slightly: "Actually, it's not just you, Hong Siyu, Su Shengzi, my biggest worry at that time was actually that you should come here What should I do? What attitude and face should I use to face you."

"I chose such an ordinary life, thinking that I could immerse myself in it forever, but the result is that I failed to do it. I failed to protect the people who are important to me. I am really afraid that you will appear in front of me and question me.' Why couldn't I save Anya?"

"Wishful thinking that the biggest threat has been solved; wishful thinking that my current life can remain peaceful; wishful thinking that Anya has no problem... I never thought that something like that would happen, so that at that time it was like being in a nightmare Generally, everything becomes unreal."

"To be honest, if you really showed up at that time, maybe I would have to find a way to hide, because I don't know what answer I should give you."

She paused, took a breath, and whispered: "But fortunately, you didn't come, not even a single person. There were only some neighborhood leaders she knew in daily life, and employees of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs who concealed their identities. And the magical girls in Fangting City at that time. Everyone has their own perception of 'Anya', and everyone has their own understanding of my identity. They may not know enough about the truth, but at least at that time , no one will come to question me.”

"Do you still think it's a good thing that I didn't come? It's a teammate's funeral. Such a big thing didn't come. Aren't you worried that I might die too?" Aso Maruka opened her eyes in disbelief. .

"You can't. You are more afraid of death than anyone else." Delphinium said calmly.

"This kind of comment is too harsh for a magical girl. Have you ever considered changing the adjective? My behavior can also be called cherishing my body."

Maroka Aso stretched out her index finger and argued: "And you haven't thought about it, even if I pay great attention to my own life safety, I might encounter an enemy who can't even run away?"

"So that you can't even run away?"

Delphinium glanced sideways at her: "Is there such a cruel beast in this world?"

"Who knows? Before Anya's accident, we all believed that there would be no enemy who could kill her, right?"

Aso Maruka retracted her hand and looked forward as well: "To be honest, when I heard the news from the dean, I thought she was playing some nasty joke on me. It wasn't until this incident was officially reported as a matter of investigation to the institute. Only after the key investigation matters were listed in the archives did I know they were true.”

"So you actually knew it right away?" Delphinium asked gently.

"Ah, probably the day after it happened."

"so."

"...We've already talked about this, why don't you ask me why I didn't come?"

Seeing Delphinium's helpless look, Aso Maruka suddenly felt even more helpless: "Don't ordinary people hope that all their teammates will come back and discuss revenge together?"

"There's no need for me to get you into this kind of trouble."

Delphinium responded calmly: "It is definitely not a simple existence that can kill Anya. To take revenge on such a thing, you must be prepared to pay a heavy price. I cannot ask you to participate in such a dangerous thing. "

"Sometimes your thoughts are like a pickle stone, smelly and hard."

Aso Maruka squinted her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, but after a while she smiled helplessly: "Yes, this sounds very much like your thoughts. Then, just think that I am talking to myself next."

"If you don't ask me why I didn't come, then I'll tell you myself. Do you know why I didn't come?"

"...Why?" Delphinium asked in response.

"Because someone stopped me and asked me not to go yet."

Aso Maruka leaned on the seat and looked forward together with Delphinium: "The dean met with me personally and told me not to interfere with your ideas and let you think about what to do alone."

　To be safe, I am still fighting with Kavin and have not lost.And belated holiday greetings, happy holidays everyone.
