Chapter 14 Confession
After walking through several intersections on one side of the electrical street, the crowd around them gradually thinned out. The girl, who had remained silent for about ten minutes, seemed unable to suppress her inner doubts and spoke to Lin Xiaolu:
"Hey, who's that kid in front?"
She moved closer behind Lin Xiaolu and lowered her voice deliberately: "You sound very impressive when you speak, are you from a very powerful background?"
Lin Xiaolu glanced at her and didn't answer.
"Or is she your sister?" the girl asked.
"……no."
Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but said unhappily, "That's Senior Cuique. You should be more respectful."
"Why do you call her senior?"
The girl blinked, "And she said she had to respect him... She's really an important person? What kind of lady?"
This time Lin Xiaolu didn't reply to her.
After all, Delphinium had said before that they would talk somewhere else, and she didn't want to disturb Delphinium's plans.
Seeing that Lin Xiaolu had no reaction after being provoked twice, the girl could only step back somewhat uninterestingly, put her hands behind her back, and began to observe the street scenes around her.
Away from the most prosperous areas, the streets here are mostly lined with relatively old shops. Unlike the central area where every inch of land is valuable, the rental prices here support individual business owners to run their small shops for a long time.
But this is still a commercial street after all. There is nothing much to see beside the street except various shops and people coming and going. The girl lost interest after looking at it for a while and spoke again: "Come to think of it, I don't even know your name yet."
“…”
"Don't be so repulsive to me, just tell me."
"...Lin Xiaolu."
"Lin Xiaolu? It's pronounced as Xiaolu, which is great. It sounds a bit cute, too. My name is..."
——“We’re here.”
Delphinium's voice came from the front, interrupting the conversation between the two people.
She turned around and glanced at the two of them. She kept her calm look and pointed to an alley nearby. She said in a steady voice, "Let's go in from here."
The proposal did not receive a response, but Cuiqiao did not care and continued to lead the way, walking into the somewhat dark path. Lin Xiaolu and Mo Ke followed in.
The girl, who was left at the end, looked at the two people walking into such a place with a matter-of-fact expression, and for the first time, a nervous look appeared on her face.
——Why the alley? Robbery? Threat? Or murder? Several words matching similar scenes quickly popped up in her mind. The girl grinned, not knowing whether she should continue to follow.
But what Delphinium had said before echoed in her ears again. She was indeed very curious about the origins of the two girls. Having followed them to this point, there was no reason to retreat anymore.
So the girl pursed her lips to hide her slightly uneasy expression, kept her body relaxed, and moved forward again.
Turning into the alley, you can see Cuiqiao and Lin Xiaolu standing there. Walking further, you can see an erected wall: this is a dead end.
Delphinium looked up at the sky, then turned her head to look at the girl when she heard footsteps at the entrance of the alley. She reached into the pocket of her dress, took out her heart flower, and walked towards the girl without saying a word.
Why did you come over here? What are you doing? The girl tried hard to maintain the smile on her face and not let her nervousness show on the surface, but this kind of control is ultimately limited. The other party's next move made her stunned on the spot: Delphinium turned into a magical girl.
In the eyes of the girl, a strong light emanated from the Delphinium, her long blue hair moved without wind, and her original light yellow puff sleeve dress turned into another navy blue sleeved Lolita dress. She had a Bonnet on her head, and her body was decorated so gorgeously that she looked like a princess in a fairy tale. In her hand, she held a magic wand with unknown fine lines carved on it...?
The girl didn't know Delphinium's identity, and naturally didn't know that this was a transformation of a magical girl, but the scene before her was still beyond her understanding.
In the brief moment she was stunned, Cuique opened her palm to her: "Grab my wrist."
"Oh, okay?" The girl subconsciously stretched out her hand.
Delphinium grabbed her wrist with her backhand and looked into her eyes seriously: "Next, hold on tight."
Holding each other's wrists tightly, what is this for? What is the ritual? A secret code?
The girl's wandering mind brought up many associations, causing her to nod mechanically without being able to understand Delphinium's words.
Then she felt her feet leave the ground.
The strongest feeling of weightlessness she had never experienced in her life before enveloped her whole body. The surrounding scenery disappeared from her sight in an irrational way. The girl opened her eyes wide and turned her head to the side. Only then did she realize her situation:
Are you flying by yourself?
Then he could no longer control himself and blurted out a scream:
“Aaaaaaah!”
Delphinium pulled the girl along the route they had chosen, avoiding angles where they might be seen, and flew high into the sky along the wall of the building next to the dead end.
After dodging the last few windows, she took a few steps in the air, and moved forward for a distance as if there was something under her feet to give her leverage, and then brought the girl to the roof of a building.
A stream of light blue magic particles surged from below, and Lin Xiaolu, who had also transformed into a magical girl, flew here.
"Ha, ha, I thought I was going to die..." After Delphinium let go of her hand, the girl with weak legs realized that she was back on the ground and knelt down with fear on her face.
"Huh, you're scared after just flying such a short distance?"
Lin Xiaolu, who landed lightly on the side, looked at her proudly and said, "I got used to it right away."
But her little show-off did not get the reaction she wanted, because the girl seemed to completely ignore her words, causing Lin Xiaolu, who was originally gloating, to puff up her lips in anger again.
"We can transform right here, and it will be easier to talk about many things."
Delphinium said to herself, "Let's get to know each other first. What's your name?"
"Huh...ask me?"
The girl, who had finally recovered a little, raised her head and said, "My name is Xia Liang."
"Then, Xia Liang."
Delphinium nodded, then asked abruptly, "Have you ever heard of magical girls?"
She didn't intend to beat around the bush on this topic, but went straight to the point.
In fact, if before coming here, she was still hesitant about whether to recruit this new magical girl and just wanted to take a look; then when she saw this girl named Xia Liang, she understood that she had extraordinary potential.
Before she became a magical girl, she was still an ordinary person. She could sense Moko from a distance, and even track her in the opposite direction. After seeing her, her lack of vigilance also showed that she could feel that Delphinium's magic power was far greater than hers.
With such performance, it can already be called a rough jade.
The identity of a magical girl is full of dangers for children without talent; but for a true genius, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to gain magical powers far beyond the ordinary.
Just as she was worried about Lin Xiaolu's safety when she became a magical girl, but respected her daughter's choice once she found out that she had made up her mind, she should also give the girl in front of her the right to choose. So let her choose for herself, Cuique thought to herself.
"Magical girl?"
This word seemed to connect something, causing Xia Liang to slightly widen her eyes. The series of strange things that happened before made her have some associations: "I know, but could it be that..."
"My name is Delphinium."
Cuiqiao nodded expressionlessly, then stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Xiaolu who was standing beside her: "She is Baimei."
"We destroy the remaining beasts and protect the safety of the city and its residents. That is the magical girl of this city, Fangting City."
