Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 293 Follow-up consultation
——"The examination is complete, and all indicators are normal. Congratulations, young man. Your heart gem has almost healed, and you can use all your abilities normally."

Her fingers kept sliding on the light screen that appeared in front of her, and Emerald gave this conclusion to Delphinium: "Of course, I still hope that you don't flourish in my laboratory. Please find a practice field to try it yourself when you go back, or I can help you make an appointment by phone."

Her words made Delphinium stop her intention of crossing her hands over the heart gem.

It was already a week after Delphinium came to the Kingdom and completed the treatment. In order to ensure that the treatment had achieved the desired effect, Emerald asked Delphinium to come to the Institute to help her with the final round of "review".

The completion of this inspection means that Delphinium's Heart Gem has been repaired, and there is no need to go back and forth to Emerald's laboratory repeatedly for damage to the gem.

The other party was unwilling to let her try to bloom here, so Delphinium naturally had no intention of deliberately provoking him. She slowly sat up from the treatment bed, holding the edge of the bed with one hand and jumped to the ground, then picked up the coat hanging beside her, shook it, and put it on: "Thank you."

She expressed her rare and heartfelt gratitude to Emerald.

Although until now, Delphinium still hasn't figured out what the other party's deal with itself is all about, but up to now, Emerald has indeed provided her with a lot of help.

As the current jewel scepter, she was in a high position in the magic kingdom, second only to the emperor. Emerald's attitude towards her was friendly enough, even humble. Since the other party had done this, she really had no reason to be stingy with a word of thanks.

After receiving the thanks from Delphinium, Emerald couldn't help but reveal an expression as if she was hallucinating. She pricked up her sleepy eyes and looked at Delphinium as if she was looking at something rare. After a while, she just lay back on the backrest of the chair and bowed:
"It's really hard to hear a young man like you say 'thank you' on your own initiative, but I, an old man, have to bear it. However, I have told you before that we are now in the same boat. Many times, when I help you, I am actually helping myself. It's not really out of kindness."

"I know. You are the Gem Scepter after all."

After buttoning up her coat and patting it to smooth out the wrinkles, Kuei-Chrysanthemum said seriously, "This is not some kind of insult, but a fact in my understanding - people who can sit at the top of the power usually rarely do business at a loss."

"Yes, yes, I am the Gemstone Scepter. Anyway, the Scepter won't run away if someone says something bad about it. You youngsters can say whatever you want."

If it was when they first met, Emerald would probably be indignant about this description, but now she was lying down and letting you laugh at her, even yawning: "Anything else you want to say? If not, I'll have to send you away."

Anything else you want to say?

This question made Delphinium slightly stunned, and then he began to ponder.

In fact, she did have something she wanted to say - or should say. That was what Mo He had said to her a few nights ago: "something dangerous might happen" in this assessment.

This sentence sounded like a simple riddle, so when Cuiqiao woke up the next day, her first reaction was to go to Mo He again to see if she could find out the truth. But the result was disappointing - the small house where Mo He lived was empty.

Only then did Cuiqiao realize that neither he nor the other party had even left contact information on the magic mirror or mobile phone. He asked the management of Caiyun Wetland but was unable to obtain any useful information.

It was as if we just met by chance at the crossroads of life, struck up a conversation, and when we looked back, we could no longer see each other.

However, Mo He herself left, and the "reminder" she left behind made Cui Que more and more concerned.

After that night, she kept reviewing her conversations with Mo He over the past few days, constantly extracting the information from them, and gradually discovered some details that she had not noticed at the time, or had deliberately ignored.

After combining these details, it is not difficult to find that the other party is unwilling to continue confronting oneself, and even leaves without saying goodbye, which in itself is an annotation of leaving words for oneself.

This means that what Mo He said was very likely true, and that the role she played in this so-called "danger"... was probably not a good one.

If this was just a rumor heard from others, or a common joke, the other party would not have to be so secretive. And the next day after leaving this message, he left early as if he knew what he was going to do. If Mo He was conveying this information to me as a law enforcer, then there was no reason for him to give up his own vitality and just leave a strange riddle and disappear.

And the opportunity to verify the authenticity of his series of conjectures is already in front of Delphinium.

She only had to ask one question to get all the answers.

But when the words came to her lips, she remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? Is it something extremely difficult to talk about?"

Seeing Delphinium's appearance, Emerald also felt a little strange. She leaned back on the recliner and stuck half of her head out. "What's the matter? You're two centimeters shorter. Do you want to settle the score with me?"

“I didn’t even want to mention this.”

When Emerald mentioned this, Delphinium raised her eyebrows and glared at her, but after this interruption, she felt that her mood was slightly relaxed.

She knew that she couldn't face the truth and turn a blind eye.

Even if the truth is sometimes not what we wish, it is necessary to take that step and know the truth in order to make changes.

"We'll talk about the height later. What I want to ask now is something else."

She gathered her emotions and calmed her expression. Then, she asked in a completely emotionless tone, "Mr. Chief, do you remember a magical girl codenamed 'Tulip'?"

Mo He was not mentioned directly, both because the magical girl "Tulip" would be more well-known, and also because Cuique felt that perhaps Mo He's code name should not be mentioned here.

The person she is facing now is Emerald, who may be considered half her own. However, once the news spreads out of this laboratory and flows into the country, or even the royal court... To be honest, Delphinium cannot trust those people at all.

Mo He was hiding something from her, and Wang Ting was not trustworthy. Faced with these two dilemmas, Kui Ching chose to only mention Tulip's name.

In fact, she already had a premonition of what kind of answer she would get.

——"Tulip? Ah...oh, is she the daughter of Lycoris?"

Emerald muttered the code name mentioned by Delphinium indifferently, as if she didn't notice what Delphinium was thinking. She said lazily: "What's the matter, have you seen her these days?"

"...She was my comrade-in-arms when I was in the army. I went to the memorial cemetery a few days ago and remembered this person, so I wanted to ask about her current situation." Delphinium answered carefully.

"Oh, you're asking because you just remembered? That's true. After all, you can't see her under normal circumstances."

Emerald returned to lying on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling of the laboratory:

"After all, the girl has already defected to Claw Mark."
