Chapter 136 That Wonderful Relationship
The 16-year-old Hong Siyu is still a girl who refuses to believe in miracles.
She has always believed in her mother's teachings, adhering to the principles of "no free lunch" and "no work, no food", and insisting that all gains are the result of hard work and dedication.
Even though she was attacked by a beast and met a magical girl in her third year of junior high school, she always thought that it was just an accident and that her future life would no longer be related to these extraordinary things, and she would continue her ordinary life.
Because of this, after studying hard, she was admitted to the best high school in Fangting City with excellent results.
Everything seemed to be back on track, and she would surely continue to be an excellent student along this path. She would be admitted to a better institution of higher learning, get a better education and diploma there, find a well-paid job, and become a mature member of society.
Most children of her age always hope that their future can be different, hope that they can become special, and don't want to become an ordinary member of the masses. But Hong Siyu doesn't think so. A certain life plan will give her a sense of security with her feet on the ground.
But she never thought that fate would play a joke on her at this turning point. Even if she didn't believe it, something that was like a "miracle" to her still happened.
She became a magical girl.
In her first year of high school, when she was once again attacked by beasts, she was chosen by a mysterious rabbit demon and became a magical girl.
Was this "lucky" or "unlucky"? Hong Siyu was confused.
If she was lucky, it wasn't entirely true. She had never thought of being a magical girl. There was no such scene in her fantasy. Such an identity and responsibility were not what she wanted.
But it's not unfortunate, because after becoming a magical girl, she got to know other magical girls in the city and suddenly made many more friends.
She only knew that her ordinary life plan became empty talk the moment she became a magical girl, because magical girls were destined to be extraordinary.
And the thoughts about whether all this was fortunate or unfortunate came to an end on a special afternoon.
"Come to think of it, Delphinium, you haven't shown your true form to our young junior yet, right?"
It was an ordinary evening. After school, the five magical girls from Fangting City gathered together. Among them, the magical girl codenamed Margaret suddenly spoke:
"The rest of us have communicated with her, shouldn't you show your sincerity as well?"
“Hmm…”
The blue-haired girl who was sitting next to her drinking silently shuddered, then raised her head and looked at Margaret with an unhappy expression: "What kind of evil fire are you stirring up?"
"How can you say that this is fanning the flames? This is my sincere wish."
Margaret held her chin with her hand, with a teasing smile on her face: "I have been looking forward to this scene for a long time. Anyway, I am bored today, so why not treat it as an entertainment program?"
"How can you use the excuse of 'being bored' to make fun of your companions' embarrassing situations?"
Delphinium rolled her eyes at her: "Reject, I don't want to."
"That's really harsh of you to say."
Margaret said she was unhappy, but she had a nonchalant smile on her face and shrugged her shoulders: "I don't have such a sinister purpose, sister, relax a little."
The conversation here could not continue, but it attracted the attention of Hong Siyu who was standing nearby. She noticed that there seemed to be something else behind the conversation between the two people.
Should I ask further questions?
She pondered and decided in her mind, but ultimately couldn't make up her mind, so she didn't speak.
However, just because she didn't speak, it didn't mean that other people present didn't have their own ideas.
——"What? What are you talking about?"
A gentle and light girl's voice came from the side, and a girl with long hair suddenly came out from the side and lay on the shoulder of Cuique: "Let Ayun show Xiaohong the real body?"
"Didn't you hear that?"
Delphinium glanced at her and said, "Also, don't call us by our real names or nicknames. Call us by our magical girl code names."
"What does it matter? There's no one else here anyway."
The girl held onto Delphinium's shoulders and moved closer: "So, is it going to change or not? I want to see it too! Today!"
"constant."
"Change."
"constant!"
"Change!"
"If I say it won't change, it won't change!"
Delphinium reached out and held the girl's chin, pushing her aside: "Also, stay away from me, you're too close!"
"Mmmmm! I want to see!"
The girl was like a sloth, clinging to Delphinium's arm tightly and not letting go: "It's been a long time since I saw you transform in front of me, Yun!"
"It's because you always treat watching it like an acrobatic show that I don't want to do it!" Delphinium gritted her teeth.
——"You guys, in this kind of matter, you still have to consider the wishes of the person involved, right?"
The last person to speak was the girl who had been sitting at the edge, holding a book in her hands. She stopped the argument between Kuei-ja and the other girl, raised her head, looked at Hong Si-yu and said, "What do you think, newcomer? Do you think it's necessary to confirm each other's true identity with everyone?"
This sentence seemed to remind everyone else present. No matter the two girls who were arguing, or Margaret who had originally given up on the matter, they all turned their eyes to Hong Siyu.
For a moment, Hong Siyu became the focus of the entire team, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Hong Siyu has never been used to other people's gazes, especially when being stared at by many people, she would find it very difficult to even speak.
So when everyone was looking at her, waiting for her answer, she couldn't utter a word for a while.
She could only open and close her mouth, trying to utter a few words. But even though she tried to hold it in until her face turned red, she was still like a fish out of water, without making any sound.
This made Delphinium, who had been frowning and looking reluctant, calm down.
"Don't be nervous, just speak your mind."
She released her hand that was pushing against the girl's face, rolled her eyes at her, and turned to Hong Siyu again and said, "This isn't such a serious matter, but it may be a little hard for you to accept the truth after you learn it."
"Is it hard to accept?" Hong Siyu finally calmed down and stammered as he recited.
"Well, because I have been hiding something from you about this matter."
Delphinium shook her head and looked at her calmly: "In fact, you should have seen my true form."
"See, have you seen it?"
Hong Siyu felt a little dizzy again: "Where is it?"
The appearance of a magical girl comes from her true self, and part of her true self is born from her soul, so she will look very similar to her. In other words, Delphinium's true self should also be a delicate and beautiful girl like a princess.
But no matter how hard Hong thought and searched her memory, she could not find a girl who looked like Kumily.
"It depends on whether you want to know or not."
Delphinium sighed, "If you want to know, then I have no reason to hide it from you."
Do you want to know yourself?
Hong Siyu couldn't help but ask herself in her heart.
She first met Kuroko at the campus cultural festival in her third year of junior high school. Kuroko dropped from the sky and saved her from being attacked by a beast. Before that, Hong Si had never been in such close contact with a magical girl.
I lost the boy I cared about that day, but met Delphinium.
Later, after becoming a magical girl by chance, she met Delphinium again, but not as a rescued person, but as a junior of the magical girl. This made her feel a little happy for a while.
From the first time she saw Delphinium, she had always treated her as a magical girl. In her mind, Delphinium had always been the magical girl who appeared from the window and would say to her, "The magical girl is here."
Do I really want to, or do I really need to, confirm the true appearance of the delphinium?
“I, maybe…”
She spoke hesitantly, but gradually made up her mind after she spoke: "No need...right?"
This answer made the eyes of the magical girls who were watching her widen.
Delphinium was no exception. She was obviously surprised by Hong Siyu's answer, but she still asked in confirmation: "Why?"
"Because, Delphinium Senior, it's enough to be Delphinium Senior."
Unable to bear these gazes, Hong Siyu lowered her head and replied softly: "Even if I don't know what kind of person you are, I absolutely believe in you. So, I don't want you to feel embarrassed because of this matter."
This answer once again caused the other team members to fall silent. After a moment, they all looked at Delphinium.
A gentle smile, a teasing smile, an interested smile, everyone's expression is different, but the meaning they want to express in silence is the same.
Delphinium also understood this. So she looked around, finally stood up from her chair, and said to Hong Siyu: "Follow me."
"Huh? What?" Hong Si asked in confusion, not understanding the situation.
"Don't ask, just come."
"Oh, oh."
Finally, Hong Siyu understood her intention from Cuiqiao's inexplicably shy expression. He felt a sudden shock in his heart and then stood up.
The two of them found a quiet corner where no one was around, and after confirming that there were no surveillance devices around, Kuizi breathed a sigh of relief and said with forced calmness, "Don't shout later."
"Why?"
"If you ask me again, it won't change."
"oh."
Hong Siyu swallowed subconsciously and closed her mouth.
But she was still a little confused. Why was the atmosphere so strange? No matter what, this was just a confirmation of the true identity between fellow magical girls. She and the other seniors didn't have so many concerns. Why did it seem like something very private when it came to Delphinium? She even felt a subtle sense of excitement. If she didn't know the inside story, it would be like she was forcing someone to take off their clothes.
Although she had such a bad association in her mind, Hong Siyu did not ask any more questions, because she could feel that Cuiqiao must have made up her mind to do this, and if she said one more word, the other party might stop.
Just like that, under the gaze of the two, Delphinium reached out and touched the heart gem on her chest, then whispered something silently.
Then, azure magical light spread out, and the appearance of the Delphinium gradually became illusory in the light, and a new human figure emerged from it.
When he saw the face clearly in the light, Hong Si experienced the feeling of brain crash for the first time in a long time.
Because the person in the light was none other than the boy she had always been thinking about and mourned a few days ago - Lin Yun.
…
…
The 20-year-old Hong Siyu began to believe in miracles a little bit.
Her life has become much more colorful than before.
Becoming a magical girl not only means coming into contact with the extraordinary magical world, but also means coming into contact with people from all over the world.
Before she set foot in this world, she had never imagined that the world of magic would be so vast and magnificent. Many things that mortals would never know were hidden beneath the surface. Only after gaining the power of magic could she get a glimpse of the truth.
Time passed quickly. She continued her studies while working as a magical girl in her spare time. Although the process was very hard, she finally persevered. As a magical girl of the Kagami level, she was active in Fangting City and was admitted to a local prestigious university.
The only regrettable thing is that the person she likes is no longer a magical girl because of an injury.
Yes, the one I like.
When Hong Siyu first found out that the boy she cared about and the girl she had a crush on were the same person, it took her a long time to accept this fact.
But after that, she made her feelings clear. She felt that she really liked Lin Yun, or Cuiqiao.
This liking was not just liking as a friend, but was real liking as a person of the opposite sex. She liked Lin Yun and had special feelings for him.
Unfortunately, she and Lin Yun did not work together for too long, because in the same year that she became a magical girl, a wave of brutal beasts broke out that swept across the world.
That year, countless brutal beasts appeared from nowhere. Not only their numbers, but also their individual strengths were terrifying, which caused a huge catastrophe to the entire world.
That year was later called the year of "the great disaster".
Countless magical girls and even magicians came forward one after another, contributing their money, strength, and even their lives to this catastrophe. In the end, they survived the disaster and won a future for human civilization.
Countless magical girls and humans died in this disaster.
As for Delphinium, it used power that it shouldn't have used in a nearly desperate battle, causing irreversible damage to its Heart Gem and Magical Power Source, and losing most of its strength.
This isn’t even the first time Delphinium has done this.
Hong Si heard from other seniors that a very brutal war broke out in the magic kingdom a year before that year. Kuizi also used the method of overdrawing herself in that war and had already suffered hidden injuries at that time.
Rather, it was incredible that she had overdrawn twice but still did not die but was only seriously injured.
Although Hong Siyu felt very sorry for Cuique's retreat, she could do nothing about it. She knew that Cuique had almost no strength left, and forcing her to return to the battlefield was irresponsible.
So be it. The senior has already paid so much to protect everyone, and he should enjoy a stable life.
This is what Hong Siyu thought.
When I graduate and find a job, I will confess my feelings to him. If he agrees to marry me, I will retire from the position of magical girl as soon as possible and enjoy the rest of my life with him.
These plans are all going according to plan, there is no problem. Perhaps the only problem is that I still haven't had the courage to express my feelings to Lin Yun.
But it doesn't matter. When the day of graduation comes, she will take that step even if she has to force herself. Hong Siyu believes it.
In this way, she continued her life as a college student and a magical girl. Until one day, when chatting with other teammates, her senior Anya said something surprising: "Ah, speaking of which, we are going to get engaged in a few days!"
Her words suddenly quieted the originally lively atmosphere.
Hong Siyu could sense that Su Shengzi and Aso Yuanxiang, who were originally talkative, suddenly fell silent, and their expressions did not seem very happy.
Senior Anya is getting married at such a young age?
This was her first thought.
Who was she going to marry? Was it that bad? Why did the other seniors not seem to be happy about it? This was her second question.
...Speaking of which, why do other people look at her with a bit of sympathy? This is her third problem.
"An-Senior Anya has been in a relationship for a long time?"
Fortunately, she was able to speak properly to her familiar companions, so she asked directly, "I didn't know about it before, and how come you are suddenly engaged? Who is it with?"
She could feel that after she said this, everyone else was looking at her.
Did I say something wrong? Hong Si and I didn't understand.
"Xiao Hong, I'm sorry!"
Anya, on the other hand, was different from her usual carefree self and suddenly clapped her hands together in front of her in a very serious and clear manner.
Why did the senior want to apologize to him? Hong Siyu was still very confused.
This doubt did not last long, because soon, Anya's words told her the answer:
——"I'm going to get engaged to Lin Yun in a few days!"
