Brother, is there a problem with me being a magical girl?

Liuli asked out the doubts in her heart.

After all, Bai Cheng is his sister's senior and teammate in the future, so it's best to ask clearly about this matter, so as to avoid any accidents in the future when he is not around.

"Uh... It's embarrassing to say that, although most of the magic I master is long-range attacks, I prefer melee combat. This is not just a matter of my habits, but also a large part of the reason is the influence of my idol."

Speaking of this, Bai Cheng, who was originally calm, seemed to have turned into a shy girl, and her face became more and more red.

"Idol?"

"Yes, it's a little embarrassing to say it, although I'm only a B-rank, but the idol magical girl in my mind is the former S-rank, S-rank magical girl Guren."

Chapter 40 The Ombudsman

"Yes, it's a little embarrassing to say it, although I'm only a B-rank, but the idol magical girl in my mind is the former S-rank, S-rank magical girl Guren."

When the familiar title rang in her ears again, Liuli was slightly stunned, and then, she seemed to understand something, and sighed softly.

"Red lotus? No wonder you are so obsessed with melee combat..."

"Hey, do seniors know that Guren-sama very well?"

Seeing Liuli's reaction, Bai Cheng asked questions with a little interest.

"Do you know me? I'm familiar with it. I was lucky enough to get a piece of information about her, but as far as I know, that Lord Honglian's offensive methods are too fierce and swift. Judging from your current B-level strength and lack of magic construction, it is actually not suitable to learn from her..."

Liuli raised her head and commented a little seriously.

"I'm ashamed..."

Hearing the comments of the petite but senior senior in front of him, Bai Cheng's face turned as red as an overripe apple.

"But it doesn't matter, you are still young and have room for improvement. Since you like that adult's combat style and character, try to develop towards her..."

"Ok!"

Bai Cheng raised his body and nodded gratefully.

It seemed that there was nothing left to talk about when the words reached this point. The two sat quietly in their respective positions and remained silent. Maybe because they were not used to the sudden quiet situation, Bai Cheng opened the mouth to break the situation first. calm.

"By the way, I still don't know what is the situation of senior? Although it is presumptuous to ask like this, I am still very curious, what is the identity of senior?"

Facing this young girl in front of her, Bai Cheng has always been curious about her identity, not only because she saved her, but also because when Liuli opened the door and entered this room, she vaguely felt a slightly familiar aura about her.

No, maybe it is said that her breath is not stable, the most correct way to say it is that pair of eyes, those silver-gray eyes that are as flawless as lapis lazuli gemstones always give her a feeling of deja vu.

Have you seen this senior somewhere?Why did I have such a feeling of deja vu with this senior?Why does it feel familiar but there is no impression of this person in my memory?All kinds of problems have been bothering Bai Cheng, and now that the two of them have nothing to talk about, Bai Cheng bites the bullet and asks the questions that have been confusing in his heart.

"I briefly introduced to you before the message, the magical girl code name is Liuli, but if I go further, my current identity should be an inspector."

Liuli rubbed her chin and made up nonsense.

"Inspector?"

Hearing this term, Bai Cheng, who had a little expectation in her heart, suddenly felt nervous. Even though she was only a B-rank magical girl and didn't have much direct connection with the magical kingdom, the word inspector still carried great weight in her heart.

To put it simply, the Ombudsman is a position directly subordinate to the Tribunal of the Magic Kingdom. The Tribunal takes over all the matters concerning the magical girls contracted by the Magic Kingdom. Questions like these fall under the jurisdiction of the Trial Chamber.

However, the number of magical girls contracted by the Magic Kingdom is so large that it would be too inefficient to rely solely on others to report or passively discover crimes after they occur, and the Ombudsman is a means for the Tribunal to directly and proactively attack.

Ombudsmen are directly appointed and dispatched by the Tribunal. They are often distributed in various identities in various cities. Different from the responsibility of ordinary magical girls to maintain the peace of the city, their duty is more to monitor the behavior of magical girls. If a magical girl is abnormal and violates the rules, then the inspector is qualified to directly arrest her and restrict her freedom.

All in all, the inspector is also a magical girl, but ordinary magical girls are like citizens, and the inspector is like the police, and it is only natural for the police to control citizens.

Most magical girls will have a natural sense of fear when they see inspectors. After all, these inspectors are a group of selfless and emotionless task performers.

Seeing Bai Cheng's face that suddenly became a little unhappy, Liuli smiled softly.

"Don't feel so nervous. I'm not a man-eating monster. Although the inspector has enough powers, as long as you don't violate the laws and regulations of the magic kingdom, even we have no right to interfere with you."

For Liuli's comfort, Bai Cheng forced a smile and nodded, obviously, the tension in her heart still hadn't subsided.

Liuli sighed helplessly seeing this situation, but she also understood in her heart that being targeted by a supervisor is not a good thing after all, it is like an ordinary person who is suddenly summoned by the police station for no reason, and may be interrogated by the police afterwards , even if this ordinary person has never committed any crimes, it will not be easy for anyone to be tortured like this.

"Okay, don't show that expression. I am a supervisor in name only, and I don't have any real power. Logically speaking, I should actually retire at this time, but some other irresistible Because of this factor, my application for retirement was delayed, so I was temporarily stationed in this city at the request of the organization.”

Hearing such an explanation, Bai Cheng, whose spirit had been in a tense state, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But while relaxing, she looked at the girl in front of her with a little surprise, seeing such a young girl, but now she is about to retire... Although Bai Cheng knows that she is also a magical girl, and the age of many magical girls cannot be judged by appearance, but the girl in front of her looks too young. If she is a newcomer, Bai Cheng would believe her, but now this senior says that she is already retired...

It's really hard to believe...

"Why, are you surprised? Actually, it's nothing, maybe you will be more surprised by my appearance after the transformation..."

Bai Chengji nodded with great difficulty. She believed what Liuli said. Generally speaking, there are only two situations for a magical girl to retire. It belongs to the retirement due to injury and death. The second type is most of the normal retirement nowadays. Most of the magical girls who retire normally are not high-level. They are magical girls. Growth is accompanied by the loss of magic power in the body, making it impossible to adapt and bear the pressure of transformation.

Therefore, most of the magical girls who have retired normally are older. It is very likely that the senior Liuli in front of me will be a middle-aged woman with wrinkles after her transformation...

If so, it would indeed be surprising.

Retiring from the magical girl and returning to the status of a normal person may be the ultimate destination of the ordinary magical girl.

Of course, apart from these, there are not no exceptions. For example, if one's own talent is good, the level of the magical girl improves quickly, and after obtaining the permanent residence permit of the magical kingdom, then the magical girl can move from the normal world to the magical kingdom. Become a full citizen of the magical kingdom.

In the magical kingdom, the world there is a little different from the normal world, and the flow of time there seems to be much slower than in the normal world... That is to say, the magical girls living in the magical kingdom have longer life spans and youth that will not age than the magical girls stationed in the normal world.

However, to achieve this point, it is very difficult to obtain a permanent residence permit. As far as Bai Cheng knows, the most basic requirement for obtaining a residence permit is to reach a grade A. Of course, if a magical girl who has made outstanding contributions to the magical kingdom, even a B grade is eligible to obtain it.

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng raised his head, looked at Liuli in front of him, and doubts arose in his heart.

To be able to serve as an inspector in the court of justice, then his guaranteed strength must have reached A-level. With A-level strength, I am afraid that he also has a residence permit in the magical kingdom, but this is the only one who has been recognized by the magical kingdom. A high-level magical girl, but now she has chosen a path of retirement that most people of the same level would not choose...

I would rather give up my identity as a magical girl than enjoy the longer lifespan than ordinary people. This is really confusing...

Chapter 41 Preparation

"Anyway, in short, I just happened to pass by that day. Seeing that your battle situation was a little bit weak, I helped you."

Liuli explained in this way, Bai Cheng obviously didn't believe it, but facing the girl's expressionless gaze, he could only swallow those questions into his stomach.

"Okay, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Nothing."

Bai Cheng shook her head, she didn't have anything else to ask, even if the girl's identity was really a inspector with no real power as she said, but an inspector is an inspector, no matter when and where, ordinary magical girls meet The Ombudsman has to obey...

Besides, to become an inspector, the minimum is A-level, an A-level magical girl, no matter which city she is in, she is a high-end combat power and a respected existence.

"Since that's the case, it's my turn, right? I have some questions to ask you."

Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, ready to ask the question in his heart.

"Senior, please tell me, I will definitely answer everything."

"I would like to ask you, what is the specific situation of the Jinling City Magic Girl Team? You may be a little confused, but I have not been in this city for a long time, and I know the information about the local magic girls in Jinling City rare."

"As for obtaining information from the War Strategy Bureau, you know that my status as an inspector is not suitable for too many appearances."

Bai Cheng nodded in understanding, then thought for a while, and then began to narrate the information she knew.

"The magic girl team in Jinling City has undergone a series of innovations, and our current class is already the seventh generation. The original strategy bureau has already applied for the transfer of new magic apostles from the Magic Kingdom to contract new recruits. But first of all, it seems that there is something wrong with the transfer of magic instructors from the Magic Kingdom, so the newcomers are not included in the team for the time being."

"Now, if you count the official magical girls, there are only three in total. Their codenames are Magical Girl Jinghong, Magical Girl Shuying, and my three-member magic team. Among them, Shuying is the captain of the Magical Girl team."

"Then why do you only see your official magical girl in the whole strategy bureau now? What about the other two, are they performing some kind of cross-city mission?"

Liuli nodded after hearing this, and continued to ask.

"It's not because of the mission, but because of the promotion assessment of the magical girl. The captain is the most talented among the three of us. When I first joined the magical girl team, the captain already had the strength of B+ level. Now, in the past It has been such a long time, and the strength of the captain has been increasing after the tempering of the battle. Coincidentally, it was just two days before the alien beasts invaded that day, the captain took another team member to the magic headquarters Participated in the promotion assessment."

"If this assessment can pass, then our Jinling City will have one more A-level magical girl sitting in town."

Speaking of this, Bai Cheng's tone unconsciously carried a trace of envy and expectation.

A-level magical girls, that is the goal that many contracted magical girls have to pursue throughout their lives. Once they become an A-level magical girl, not only will their status be greatly improved, but if they complete the prescribed period of service for magical girls in the future, they can stay forever in that magic kingdom like a peach blossom garden.

"Is that so? But if that's the case, then it's a bit strange. By the way, did your captain conduct a magic check on the city before leaving?"

After thinking for a moment, Liuli turned her head and asked.

"Yes, in fact, I also find this incident very strange. Before the captain left, the three of us searched the entire area of ​​Jinling City. At that time, nothing unusual was found, even in a certain area underground. A search was carried out."

"But now, the captain and Jinghong have only just left for a day, and such things happen inside the city, and there is no warning at the magic barrier. I also have a lot of doubts in my heart..."

Bai Cheng slowly confides her inner voice, as well as the long-buried doubts in her heart.

Obviously, such a detailed inspection was carried out before the captain's departure. After the inspection, there was no problem, but the captain had just left, and there was a problem inside the city on the back foot, and it was an emergency...

These things are connected in series, which has to make people suspicious.

Liuli's eyes narrowed slightly, and her brain was frantically thinking about the information and connections related to these things. Unfortunately, her connection with the War Strategy Bureau and the Magic Kingdom has been cut off for a long time, and the current event has just been added, so the information she has obtained is not enough.

"Okay, I see. I will continue to investigate this matter. By the way, regarding the assessment items of the magical girl Shuying, do you have a general understanding of the time when she will return to the team?"

"Yes, yes, yesterday when I just woke up, Sister Jiang told me that she had already learned about the progress of the captain's latest assessment through contact. The captain passed the first three assessments. Now, only Make the last two items, and if there are no accidents, I can probably come back within ten days."

Bai Cheng straightened his expression and answered seriously.

"Ten days... If she comes back, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Liuli lowered her eyes and whispered faintly.

"Senior, it's too late for what you said, I didn't hear clearly..."

"It's nothing, just take it as my unintentional words, right..."

While speaking, Liuli stood up from the chair, and then she took out a piece of jade from her waist. The jade contained strong magic power, and the red energy shone brightly.

"This thing is for you, it may be of some help to you."

"This is…?"

Looking at the ruby-like thing in Liuli's hand, Bai Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Magic spar, you can think of it as a special book among magical girls. Usually, you can inject your own ideas into it, and you can feel the information recorded in it. In a crisis situation, you can also crush this stone. In a short period of time, with your current strength, you can roughly be forcibly raised to a super-A level."

Hearing Liuli's explanation, Bai Cheng's complexion changed, and he quickly pushed out with both hands, his face full of rejection.

"No, senior is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Accept it. Anyway, this thing doesn't do much for me. The magic information contained in this magic crystal doesn't match my own attributes. If I give it to you, it will be useful."

"You don't have to worry about the origin of this thing. Since this magic spar appeared from the hands of my inspector, it is naturally from a legal origin. You will definitely not have any problems holding it."

Liuli said calmly.

"But even if this is the case, I can't accept it. I have just received the grace of saving my life from my senior. If I accept such a valuable gift from my senior now, I, I will feel uneasy..."

Bai Cheng waved her hands and lowered her head slightly. At this time, her mind was also a little confused.

Things have progressed to this point of pushing and shoving again, Liuli sighed, and then said in a very serious tone.

"Magical girl Bai Cheng, I am now ordering you as a prosecutor to accept this magic spar. This is an order!"

The cold voice echoed in the room, and Bai Cheng raised her head in surprise. She couldn't believe that such a cold and heartless voice came from the girl in front of her. This was a huge difference from her calm and indifferent image just now.

Since it was the inspector's order, Bai Cheng had no choice but to obey. She reluctantly put the magic spar into her arms.

"Okay, I've already asked what I should ask. I think you don't have any doubts in your heart. I see that you just woke up and your face is still a little pale. Now that you have said so much, I won't continue to disturb your rest. gone."

After finishing speaking, Liuli stood up and was about to go out the door, but at this moment, Bai Cheng behind her spoke.

Holding the magic spar of unknown origin in her hand, she asked with doubts and incomprehension.

"Senior, I want to know why you must give me such a precious thing?"

Liuli's figure stopped halfway, she didn't turn around, but sighed softly, and remained silent for a moment.

"Just take it as an explanation to the former her..."

Liuli's voice was very soft, but Bai Cheng could hear it very clearly. She didn't understand who the senior was talking about?And what does the so-called confession mean?But it was too late to ask these questions, because when she raised her head again, Liuli's figure had already disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 42 Worship

After chatting with the younger generation, Liuli returned to the command room, which had almost become the place where she stayed the longest besides home.

"How? How did the conversation go?"

Jiang Lanxin sat on the table, holding tea in one hand, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I've been fooling around with the identity issue, but I always feel that the girl harbors a little doubt about me..."

Liuli took a sip of the freshly soaked milk Keke on the table, and then said slowly.
