About becoming a magical girl

Why put this kind of thing directly?
Hua Zuo Qin Yin just thought that Hua Chao Cai was very rich, and she might be able to give some feasible suggestions, but she didn't come here to ask for a diamond ring.
Hua Chaocai chuckled, "Don't look at me like this, these are just imitations, not diamond rings."
"Oh, that's all right."
Hua Zaoqin immediately restrained his expression, and when he looked at it again, he felt that those gleaming rings were not so dazzling.
It turned out to be an imitation, I am familiar with this.
No stress at all~
"Because I heard that your trouble is 'can't find the style you like', right? Don't worry, we have several jewelry stores under our family, and these are all samples of styles that have not yet been launched. , if you like it, you can take it directly, I can guarantee that these styles are absolutely unique."
"Well... that's not what I meant..."
Xue Nai quickly waved her hand.
It turns out that these are design samples that have not yet been launched. Wouldn't the rounding become a commercial secret?
Although it's not that serious, Xue Nai doesn't like Cheng's kindness - she only came here to seek some "advice from a mature big sister".
Xue Nai pinched the back of Hua Zuo Qin Yin's hand under the table, Hua Zuo Qin Yin was in pain, and then saw the rare embarrassment in Xue Nai's eyes.
So it turns out that Shiomi-san will also show this expression? ——Although I really want to gloat, but now Huazaoqinyin doesn't know what to do.To be honest, there is something wrong with Hanasaka today...it is the first time Hanasaka and Xue Nai have met, why are they suddenly so "enthusiastic"?Hua Zhaocai is not such a person in my impression?
The sound of playing the piano is also a little unbearable.
And Hua Zhaocai continued to maintain her elegant smile, and pushed the ring box in front of Xue Nai.
"Let's choose one? Two or three are also fine!"
If you don't choose, Hanasaka won't be able to proceed to the next step, right?
But Xue Nai refused, and the sound of Hua playing the piano was confused.
A strange coffee tea party ( ) started with a delicate atmosphere among the three.

147. net
As the dusk gradually sinks, the city is covered with a layer of golden makeup.
Evening is the busiest time of the day in Xijing City. Saori is walking alone on the crowded street. She is wearing a hood, with one hand in her pocket and the other hand brushing her phone. Candy in mouth.
Man looks like a girl being pushed away by people, harmless people and animals can be seen everywhere.
In fact, she is carrying out a mission of "tracking down human traffickers". This inconspicuous attire is the best cover for Saori, so as not to attract the suspicion and attention of others - the mission target is suspected to be lurking in this area In the deep alley, members of the special operations force under Bushihara Linghua had already ambushed in the surrounding houses and fire passages, waiting for the order to be issued.
This is a downtown area, and they must ensure that the mission is carried out smoothly without threatening the safety of pedestrians on the street. Then the best way is to use the "pioneer" Saori to capture the opponent in one breath.
Before she was temporarily incorporated into the support force and went to Maesakagawa, she had been participating in various "cleaning" tasks under the arrangement of Ayaka Fushihara - in simple terms, it was to find and hunt down some criminals, and execute or arrest them for their crimes.
In fact, this kind of task does not require an agent, even though the current Saori has already been expelled.However, due to unclear reasons, those unstable elements in the urban area of Xijing City have become more and more rampant recently. When there is a shortage of manpower, Saori will receive tasks. Saori is an agent who has been deregistered, and he publicly appeared to deal with erosion disasters. Something was wrong, on the contrary, these black missions were more suitable for her.
Therefore, Saori received more and more tasks of this type. Sometimes it was to investigate in a certain area, and sometimes it was a secret strangulation task to help deal with some difficult problems.
Among these problems, the two most serious ones are mental dependence drugs and human trafficking.
The problem of the proliferation of illegal drugs is left over from a dark history, and human trafficking is a "black industry" that slowly emerged later. The disappearance of people in erosion disasters is inevitable, so this creates a reasonable for those who violate the law and commit crimes. Excuses and opportunities, and precisely because of this, it is difficult to find out this kind of incident. This kind of problem exists in any city, and it was the same in Xijing City in the past. Under the circumstances, those black people lurking under the water finally restrained their fangs, but these people suddenly appeared again recently.
In the absence of Concubine Masaki, Maki Kuo was busy with the combat arrangements and preparations for the former Sakagawa garrison, and all these issues that threatened the city's public security fell on the shoulders of Immortal Hara Ayaka and Saori in one go.
For a month, Immortal Hara Ayaka and Saori have been chasing down those criminals, and gradually pulled out a big tangled net. At least 30 criminals died in their hands, and more were arrested. Saori was always elusive, and performed missions time and time again perfectly with the power of an agent, just like her current code name, "Shadow".
"How's the situation now?" Saori whispered and hung up the communication.
"There is no change in the target's location."
Immortal Hara Linghua's voice came from the headset, "Saori, where have you been?"
"It will be in place soon."
Saying that, Saori turned into the alley from the main road with people coming and going, and didn't attract anyone's attention. It seemed that she was just an ordinary girl who took a shortcut to go elsewhere.
And after Saori's figure disappeared at the corner of the alley, the air vibrated slightly, the silver light flickered and disappeared in an instant, and the gray hair fell from under Saori's hood. When I looked again, Sazhi's figure had gradually merged with the shadows in the deep alley in the evening, and her footsteps became extremely light, and the alley was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
The location of the target is a seemingly ordinary grocery store. This store is opened at the incision of the alley between the buildings. Occasionally, people will pass by, and the contacts of these "black organizations" will mix with these people. They exchange information covertly under the cover of purchasing small items such as lighters and cigarettes.
In addition to using this method, these organizations will also communicate with lights, codes, etc., and even set up communication lines and base stations privately to disguise them, so it is difficult to find them even if they send people to conduct regular investigations.
All in all, those criminals living in the darkness of the city formed a big net, and Immortal Ayaka finally managed to pull this big net out of the water, and now is the time to bring them all in.
Not long after, Saori appeared at the back of the building where the canteen is located. This is the side door of the canteen. She put a very thin plastic elbow through the vent, and crawled inward like a snake. The head of the thin tube had a A very concealed small camera device, it slowly crawled inside the vent, and then drilled out of the vent inside the canteen, sending back the picture of the house.
"Xia Duo is in place," Saori said, confirming the screen displayed on the phone, frowning slightly, "But... I didn't find the target, is he really here?"
"No?"
Immortal Yuan Linghua paused slightly, and immediately ordered, "Tsk... these mice are getting more cunning one by one, we may have been tricked."
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Those criminals who walk in the darkness of the city are far more prepared for escape methods and retreats than imagined. It often takes a lot of effort to catch them.
"Xia Duo, rush in, hurry up. Our people have already restricted the traffic and flow of people, so don't hold back," the voice of Immortal Yuan Linghua came again, "Go!"
With an order, all the ambushing special forces members took action, and several shots were fired immediately in the deep alley—as an information exchange point, several "checkpoints" were naturally set up in the depths of this alley, but these things were useless in front of the well-trained elite of the Special Disaster Division, and they were pulled out one by one without any effort.
And Saori swung out with one hand, the chains were like knives, the thin iron door exploded, and a large piece was sunken and flew backwards, smashing a large piece of wall brick.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, and Saori took a quick glance.
This is the side door of the commissary, looking in from here is the warehouse, together with the front door, there are a lot of torn packaging bags scattered in the dark commissary, some unburned paper scraps, cut wood, I don’t know what to do Oiled newspapers were used, as well as overturned cabinets, drawers, and furniture lying on the floor.
It looked like it had been ransacked by thieves.
"It seems that I am late..." Saori carried the chain and stepped into the room. The damp musty smell wafted in the air. Saori pursed her lips and glanced at the overturned beverage bottles and wine bottles on the ground. Those wine bottles had not been opened, and the wet marks on the ground were not obvious. It seemed that some time had passed, "The target has left."
……

148. Holidays
The gunshots in the deep alley gradually subsided, and only a few minutes had passed since the operation started. However, those "checkpoints" were quickly taken down under the rapid raid operations prepared by the special catastrophe.
Soldiers who have experienced many battles, there are many such people in the special disaster department who assist in the fight as agents, and ordinary people are still not enough to look at these people even with weapons.
In the warehouse of the commissary, Saori searched briefly, and then reported the situation here to Immortal Ayahara.
"Have you been preempted? It seems that something went wrong in the plan... He even didn't hesitate to leave those 'checkpoints' as smoke bombs to confuse our sight. This person is very decisive."
Immortal Yuan Linghua paused, unable to hear her emotions, "Forget it, then come back, even if we escape here, we still have other goals."
"Let's just leave this side alone? What about those guys around here?" Saori asked.
"It doesn't matter, those little guys are worthless." Fushihara Linghua didn't seem to care about this failure, and didn't mean to pursue it to the end. "You can retreat temporarily. Since he is one step ahead of us, the encirclement we set up is meaningless. It's too close to the block and it's not suitable to do too much. The next work will be left to others."
"It's true..." It's too close to the street, it's best to avoid causing riots, but compared to Undead Hara Ayaka who doesn't seem to care much, Saori seems a little regretful, "Anyway, the mission failed, but...you don't seem to be worried at all."
"There's nothing to worry about. There will always be times when things don't go well at work. Just try to do better next time," Fushihara Linghua didn't care. "Besides... Now that the net is about to be collected, it will be a matter of time to catch these moths."
Unless those people desperately ran to the occupied areas outside Sakai, wouldn't they have to stay in Xijing City and play cat and mouse?
No one would really dare to go outside Sakai.
Except for agents, almost no one can survive in the area outside Sakai. The area outside Sakai is affected by the erosion of white holes. Even if human beings living in that place are not hunted to death by erosive bodies and wandering residues, they will gradually become residues due to the invasion of erosive energy into the body.
"okay."
"What's the matter? You seem to care?"
"Of course I care." Saori looked at the broken mirror on the ground, half of her body was hidden in the shadow of the setting sun, "I just want to kill these people and then quickly."
"Oh?"
Immortal Hara Linghua smiled softly, "What's the matter? Xia Duo, you seem to be more 'emotional' today. The previous you would never say such things. Is it because you met Fu Lan?"
"No... I just can't understand..."
"what happened?"
"When I was in Qiansakachuan, I kept thinking about one thing...Fu Lan, Senior Avenier, Xiao Xuenai, those agents, and those soldiers, they fought for this city constantly, were injured again and again, and finally even gave their lives, but the city they fought for and guarded with their lives was filled with these rotten people who stretched out their minions to others. Qinglan and Senior Feiyan are gone. Regret those people?"
Saori lowered her voice, "Is it just me who thinks this way, or is this the way this world is?"
"Is that so..."
It's no wonder that Saori had been active on the battlefield as an agent before, after all, he was the half of the people who lived in the sun. He didn't know much about the other side of the city hidden in the shadows. Even if he had heard of it, it was hard to empathize with him.
And Saori, after becoming "Xia Duo", is buried in the shadows every day, and the person whose hands are often stained with blood, how can his heart remain unchanged?What's more, Fulan's injury in the previous battle of Banchuan stimulated her even more.
On one side are close friends, former comrades-in-arms, and respected seniors who are fighting for the future of the city, and on the other side are lawbreakers who disrupt law and order and bring instability to the city-between these two worlds, Saori's mentality will be different. Imbalances are inevitable.
This is exactly the same as Immortal Hara Linghua when she was young.
"In short..." Undead Yuan Linghua sighed softly, "Xia Duo, don't think too much, you just have more power than others, so don't fall into the sage thinking of a redeemer or a hero."
No one is a hero who is obliged to save the world, and no one is a saint who sacrifices his life to seek the truth.
Everyone has to live like this, and the path they choose is different, that's all.
"If some people don't disappear from the world, more people will suffer undeserved pain, but the world is not full of such people... Obligation and responsibility are different concepts."
"I understand...but I want to seek change."
"Change...the world is like this, we can't do anything about it."
"Even so..."
"Xia Duo, it is more difficult and painful than expected to change this world. Perseverance alone will not work."
"Um……"
Yarn is not incomprehensible.
The erosion of white holes threatens the last spark of human civilization. In such a crisis, no matter how much perseverance we have, what can we do?
What's more, Saori thinks that she probably doesn't have enough perseverance.
Otherwise, at that time a month ago, he would not have been tempted by the apostle to do something that he regretted.
"Oh," Immortal Ayahara paused, then suddenly said, "Why don't you take this opportunity to give you a vacation, you need to relax."
"Holiday?" Saori thought of Shiina Rin for a moment, and she might be able to meet Shiina Rin in a few days.
But she thought about it, and shook her head, "Why give me a vacation? Is it going to 'close the net' soon? To relax or something, just get me some games and movies."
"What's the matter?" Fushihara Linghua smiled, "Didn't we all come here before without you joining? By the way, it happens to be Avniel's birthday in a few days, and her sister is also holding a special birthday party. It's just that she can't contact you, so I'm here to tell you."
"Huh? Senior's birthday??"
This is a somewhat unexpected news.
"Yeah, I think she'd be happy if you showed up."
"..."
Saori was silent.
If it weren't for the incident a month ago, Evanil would probably have welcomed her, right?And now... She, a deregistered agent, has no qualifications and position to expect such treatment.
"I... I'd better not go... I think..."
"Okay, okay, I told you to take a vacation and you are on vacation," probably knowing what she wanted to say, Immortal Ayahara interrupted her, "Don't dawdle, just go back now and leave the scene to my people."
Saori couldn't resist Yuan, she pondered for a moment, finally sighed, and didn't continue to refuse, "Then... well..."
After all, she still wants to meet Rin and needs a vacation.
