Chapter 20 Go to Your House
“Ouch… Ugh, Ugh… Ouch… Ouch…”
After the dust settled after the battle, Lin Xiaolu knelt on the ground, retching continuously with tears in the corners of her eyes.
From the moment she was drenched in the foul-smelling tissue fluid, she vomited into a ball on the ground, then began to cry loudly. After crying for a while, she began to dry heave again, and then cried again until her tears were streaming down her face.
"It's okay. It's okay."
Delphinium squatted beside her and gently patted her back, comforting her in a cold and gentle voice: "It just stinks a little, and no one else has seen it. Go home and take a good bath to get rid of the smell."
Seeing her daughter being tortured like this, it was really hard for Cuique not to feel distressed.
So even though comforting like this was a bit contrary to her character, she couldn't help but do it.
“Delphinium… Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh… Ugh…”
Lin Xiaolu looked at Delphinium with tearful eyes, but before she could say two words, she couldn't help retching again.
Xia Liang, who was not far away, was not much better. She was leaning on the traffic light pole by the roadside, looking pale. However, she had a stronger will than Lin Xiaolu. After retching a few times at the beginning, she relied on her strong self-control to hold back her physiological reaction and did not vomit on the spot. She still maintained her proper reserve.
The sour smell at the scene was so stinking that even a magical girl like Delphinium, who had experienced many battles and had seen all kinds of dirty battlefields, felt a little nauseous. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her hands.
After squatting beside Lin Xiaolu for a while and realizing that she would not get better for a while, Kuei-ching flew to Xia Liang again and asked with some concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Well...it feels much better than at the beginning."
Xia Liang covered his mouth with a bitter look on his face, forcing a smile on his face: "It's just that the sticky feeling on my head is a bit uncomfortable. Little senior, can you use water magic or something like that?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this."
Delphinium tells the truth.
The "water magic" that Xia Liang mentioned actually exists, and is usually called the "water-generating ritual", but this ritual is not within the control of Cuiqiao.
For magical girls, once their abilities have reached the Leaf stage, using spells will become one of their basic abilities. However, if they want to become proficient and master a variety of spells, they still need to spend a lot of time studying and researching.
Lin Yun had little interest in learning techniques before, and simply learned some of the most basic items to assist in combat, and did not put in any more effort. He actually did not master many techniques.
But in this situation, it is not necessary to rely on the water ritual to solve it, so Cuique waited for a while, and when Lin Xiaolu's condition improved slightly, she suggested to the two of them: "Since the remaining beast has been dealt with, you should go home and wash up, and then have a good rest."
Lin Xiaolu, who was lying on the ground, spoke with difficulty: "But, um... I still have to go to school this afternoon..."
"There's no need to worry about this kind of thing."
Cuiqiao waved her hand to show that she had some room. "The purpose of connecting with the Strategy Bureau is to solve this situation. Next, I will report the matter to the Strategy Bureau. They will send someone to contact the school to solve the attendance problem."
In fact, if Xia Liang hadn't been traveling with him, there would be no need to use the channels of the Strategy Bureau. All he needed to do was call the school in Lin Yun's name and ask for sick leave for his daughter. Adults have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.
"Well... okay then... uh." After hearing what Cuiqiao said, Lin Xiaolu had no objection to it and stood up from the ground weakly.
Standing still, she spent a little while concentrating her attention, and then looked around to confirm her position and reestablish her sense of direction. After a considerable effort, she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and it seemed that she remembered which direction her home was.
After taking two steps in the marked direction, Lin Xiaolu planned to fly towards her home after recovering her magic power, but not long after, she discovered that there seemed to be someone following her.
She looked at Delphinium standing not far away and confirmed that there was someone else following her, so she stopped and looked back with squinted eyes: a magical girl in purple was standing behind her with a smile on her face.
Without a doubt, it is cool in summer.
Seeing Lin Xiaolu turn around, Xia Liang seemed to be unaware of her unfriendly gaze, and just raised his hand and waved, smiling obediently. He had no intention of explaining his behavior.
"Why are you following me?"
So Lin Xiaolu asked unhappily.
"Well... find a place to take a shower?" Xia Liang said naturally but somewhat uncertainly, as if she said this in order to find a public bath.
"Don't follow me, go back to your own house and take a shower." Lin Xiaolu had no interest in her half-true and half-false words. She said this bluntly and turned away.
But after taking a few steps, she realized something was wrong. The footsteps behind her did not disappear. Obviously, Xia Liang was still following her.
“You!”
This time she really felt a little angry. Lin Xiaolu turned around again and stared at Xia Liang's face: "I should have told you not to follow me, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing."
Xia Liang blinked innocently: "I just want to visit your house."
"Huh? Why would I let you come to my house?"
Lin Xiaolu looked puzzled: "Why don't you go back to your own home?"
"Um……"
Xia Liang seemed to be really thinking about it and hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head and replied, "It seems not possible?"
"I don't care about your attitude...By the way, why is it a question?" Lin Xiaolu frowned.
Upon hearing this, Xia Liang first smiled, with a hint of pride on his face. Then, as if he was saying something very remarkable, he proudly pressed his chest and said: "Because I ran away from home."
silence.
After these words were spoken, Lin Xiaolu was stunned where she was. Even Cuiqiao, who had not said a word, raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Liang with a somewhat surprised expression.
Fortunately, Delphinium was an adult after all, and she quickly realized the current situation. She felt that it was appropriate to let her daughter continue the conversation in order to bring them closer together, so she poked Lin Xiaolu from behind.
Lin Xiaolu came back to her senses and could only ask in disbelief: "What did you just say?"
Hearing Lin Xiaolu's question and seeing that both of them were looking at him, Xia Liang blinked, thinking that he had not expressed his meaning clearly, and repeated his words again: "Ah, that is to say, I ran away from home, and now I actually have nowhere to go. Can you give me a place to stay?"
