About becoming a magical girl

The footsteps approached again, and then stopped outside the door.

The narrow window was pushed open.

Such a familiar voice...

Awakened by the clear voice, Uzuki Saori opened her eyes slightly, and a gleam of light rose from the depths of her dark eyes.

"Gauze..."

The girl's voice was like a late summer breeze, whispering in my ears.

"cold?"

As if getting an electric shock, Saori Uzuki looked up suddenly, and saw the girl who was thinking day and night, and the girl's face with tears in her eyes.

"Gauze..."

"cold!"

Saori stood up abruptly, and her anklets made a harsh rubbing sound. She was dragged and staggered, almost hitting the door.

"Rin... am I in a dream...is it Rin...?"

Whispering, she stretched out her hand to the opening, but was stuck here by the handcuffs, unable to touch the girl's tear-soaked face.

"It's me... Saori, I'm here to see you..."

Shiina Rin was lying outside the door, reaching out and gently grabbing Saori Uzuki's cold fingers.

The two looked at each other silently, joy, guilt, surprise, sadness, all kinds of emotions fermented in the bottom of Uzuki Saori's heart. After the joy in the bottom of my heart was filled, there was a surge of strong sadness.

Uzuki Saori lowered her gaze, and gently rubbed Shiina Rin's clean fingers with her cheeks.

A choked sound escaped from the nostrils, and warm tears wet Rin's sleeves.

"Rin...I'm sorry...I did something like that...I'm sorry..."

Rin Shiina looked at Saori behind the heavy iron door, bit her lower lip lightly, resisting the urge to cry.

"Shazhi...can I meet you? I still have a lot to say to you, in person..."

……

Saori Uzuki sat on the cold chair, she raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the two in front of her.

Her only obsession is also her closest friend, Rin Shiina.

And her ex-commander, Princess Masaki.

Concubine Masaki was leaning against the door, still wearing the straight military coat, with her arms folded, her clear eyes were quietly looking at her.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"commander……"

Saori Uzuki pursed her lips, not knowing how to face Concubine Masaki, nor what to say, she just lowered her eyes and apologized softly: "I'm sorry..."

Concubine Masaki didn't respond to Saori Uzuki's apology, as if she didn't hear it.

She lifted her toes lightly, and the heels of her shoes tapped on the ground.

"Let's talk, I'll be back in 10 minutes."

After saying that, the figure of Concubine Masaki disappeared outside the door. Saori Uzuki looked at Concubine Masaki, the back of the former boss, and slowly looked back at the girl in front of her, Rin Shiina.

Shiina Rin held a puppet toy in her arms.

It was a gift Uzuki Saori gave her on her birthday, and she has always been with her.

"Gauze..."

The crisp sound of the handcuffs clicked, Rin Shiina held Uzuki Saori's hands, Saori's eyes moved slightly, and she gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Rin Shiina's eyes.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and saw a silver light on Shiina Rin's neck.

It was Rin Shiina's beacon as an agent, a silver pendant, flickering slightly against the pale light.

Looking at this pendant, what Saori Uzuki wanted to say was suddenly blocked in her throat.

She opened her mouth slightly, paused, and then asked:

"Rin...your body...doesn't matter anymore?"

The tone of her voice changed, Uzuki Saori bit her lip, trying to make herself look calmer.

"The doctor has already cleared me to leave the hospital, so there is nothing wrong..."

Rin Shiina pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

Sniffing slightly, Rin Shiina continued.

"My current erosion rate has dropped to 37.9, which is considered a safe range..."

Rin Shiina's erosion rate once reached more than 60, which is already a very dangerous red line area.

Generally speaking, if the erosion rate reaches 50, there is a great possibility that it will be completely assimilated and turned into residue, and the agent is the same.

The only difference is that ordinary people have no means to reduce the erosion rate, but the agent protected by the power of order is different. As long as the body is not directly alienated by the infection of high concentration of erosion energy, then the agent can slowly use the power of order to clear the erosion energy remaining in the body and reduce the level of erosion rate.

Efnir's eye injury is a typical example. The power of order in the body gradually expels the erosive energy, but the eyeball that was instantly alienated by the angel's violent erosive energy cannot be saved.

"But...you are still an agent...is it okay to come to this kind of place like this?"

"It's okay, the commander allowed me to come over..."

"Commander..."

Uzuki Saori's eyes dimmed.

She is no longer qualified to call Concubine Masaki Hina a commander.

"It's great that she wasn't hurt..."

"Um……"

The air in the room between the two became quiet, they just clasped each other's fingers tightly, unwilling to let go.

"cold……"

"Ok?"

"I heard that senior is hospitalized...is she...okay...?"

"Senior Evenier?"

"Um……"

"Senior was seriously injured and just left the hospital two days ago..."

Shiina Rin answered truthfully, staring at Uzuki Saori's unspeakable expression, paused, and then spoke slowly.

"Senior, she... can't see with her right eye..."

"..."

Shiina Rin didn't speak, still lowered her head, let go of Shiina Rin's hand, her knuckles turned white.

"Can you... recover?"

"Miss Xiqi said that with the current technology, there is no way..."

"Um……"

"Gauze..."

Shiina Rin's soft palm gently wrapped Uzuki Saori's cold hand, and she stared at the pale eyes of this friend.

In the past, Uzuki Saori never had such a look on her face.

She raised her hand, gently brushed Uzuki Saori's hair, and put the messy front hair strands into her fingers.

"I came here to tell you that I have returned to my post..."

"Ok, I know……"

The silver pendant on Shiina Rin's neck was not deliberately hidden, Uzuki Saori could see it clearly.

"I will carry your wish and fight hard."

"..."

Saori Uzuki buried her gaze, her lips turned white from being bitten.

"Not as an agent...isn't it okay?"

"Saori, do you remember the first time we met... the wish we made, remember?"

"..."

Saori was silent.

"Escape does not solve any problems. This is what my predecessors taught me, Saori... Your wish has not yet been fulfilled. This city is full of your past. I can't put everything we fought for just like that lay down……"

Shiina Rin leaned down and gently hugged Saori Uzuki's neck.

The hair of the two entangled, Shiina Rin spoke softly.

"I have always been taken care of by you, thank you...you let me see what toughness is, and also taught me what love is. Every day spent with you is a gift from this world to me. You are The most important person to me, and always will be."

"But I...will forget about you..."

"It's okay, I don't care."

Shiina Rin's voice became more and more choked.

"I don't care..."

……

176. Inside and outside the abyss [Second update]

When Rin Shiina left, she put a ring on Saori Uzuki's ring finger.

"This is an agreement..."

Saying this, Rin left, and the cold and heavy iron door closed again, leaving the unique fragrance of Shiina Rin in the air.

Saori Uzuki sat in the corner, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the silver diamond ring on her finger.

"But... I am no longer qualified to stand by your side..."

Uzuki Saori buried her face and sobbed softly.

Everything... probably ends like this...

"It's really pretty... probably not cheap."

The sudden childish voice appeared in Saori's ear.

"—!?"

Nerves were stirred, and the habit left over from long-term training made Saori tense her body vigilantly, but then slowly relaxed.

She already knew who it was.

She raised her gaze, and looked at Masaki Hina who appeared in front of her at some point.

"Commander... haven't you left..."

"Isn't anyone other than Rin welcome to visit you?"

"No...not...just..."

Saori Uzuki looked away.

She just didn't know how to face her former boss.

"I thought you wouldn't want to see me again."

"Indeed, I don't really like to see you who are so gloomy and dull now, but you who loved to laugh before are much more interesting."

"..."

Saori Uzuki pursed her lips, hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed the words in her throat. The silence between the two lasted for a while, and Mazaki Hina was the first to break the silence.
