Chapter 255 Wartime Dreams
Delphinium had a dream.
In her dream, she seemed to be in the past.
In this past, what she saw was the scene when she was still young, still innocent, and still proud of her identity as a magical girl, so she responded to the call of the country and joined the army.
At that time, Delphinium, or Cornflower, was the youngest and most promising Bud-level magical girl in the Magic Kingdom. She had just obtained the card certification and performed well in the assessment. She had already made a name for herself and became a little famous among many magical girls.
Because of this, when the war broke out between the Magic Kingdom and the Interdimensional World, even though the Kingdom did not force the magical girls of the Material World to participate, and most of the magical girls of the Material World were unwilling to take part in the war, Cornflower still chose to be the exception and resolutely rushed to the Kingdom.
Anya, or rather Sakura went to the kingdom with her.
This was not surprising, after all, Anya had always been like this, and her overflowing empathy meant that she would not stand idly by. Although Aso Yuanxiang and Su Shengzi were not afraid of danger, they finally stayed to guard Fangting under the persuasion of the Sower, considering the safety of the city.
This was the first time that the Fangting City team had acted separately since its establishment, and at that time, no one probably thought that the impact of this war would be more far-reaching than imagined.
The national army is mainly composed of three parts: magic girls, magicians and ordinary soldiers. Among them, magic girls are responsible for breaking through high-threat units one by one, magicians are responsible for using spells to provide rear support, and ordinary soldiers rely on controlling magic weapons and using their numerical advantage to create fire suppression.
The Inter-World Alliance Army is composed of fairies, magicians, and remnant beasts. Fairies are the main combat force, fighting against magical girls on the front battlefield; magicians, in addition to providing rear support, also use special techniques to control some low-level remnant beasts; as for the controlled remnant beasts themselves, they basically act as meat shields and large ground-pushing units, and are completely consumable.
At the beginning, when the intensity of the war was still controllable, Cornflower and Anya were still in the same company. Relying on their long experience of fighting side by side, they were invincible on the battlefield and repeatedly repelled the Inter-World Alliance Army on local battlefields. Considering that the main force of the Inter-World Alliance Army was fairies, the Kingdom did not use heavy hands, and there were not many casualties on both sides.
But soon, this superficial kindness based on goodness was torn apart.
From the first area lost, to the first large-scale exchange of fire, to the first inevitable large-scale casualties, not only did the Inter-World Alliance Army no longer hold back, but the National Army was also completely aroused with hatred. When the seeds of hatred sprouted in the hearts of the originally kind-hearted magical girls, the intensity of the war inevitably began to rise. Whether it was the Inter-World Alliance Army or the National Army, they lost more and more combat power in one battle after another.
If it was just a loss of combat power, it would be fine, but no one expected that in order to replenish combat power, the Inter-World Alliance Army began to release more remnant beasts on the battlefield. Some of these remnant beasts were still under their control, while some were simply wild. They would attack any living creature they saw, turning the entire battlefield into a mess.
As the tragic news of magical girls' sacrifices continued to arrive from the front lines, countless magic soldiers were sacrificed, and the national army underwent its first large-scale reorganization.
Cornflower and Sakura, although they have just received their first card and are still rookie magical girls in the strict sense, have both been promoted to team leaders due to their outstanding performance on the battlefield. Under the new organization, they were assigned to the city defense forces of different cities. Cornflower is in Runnore, the city of wisdom, and Sakura is going to Domria, the city of justice. They each lead different teams and rush to their posts.
At that time, Cornflower was not only high-spirited, but also enthusiastic and hardworking. While repelling the enemy, she was also able to cover her companions well and rescued her fellow comrades from the battlefield many times. Therefore, she not only had an outstanding record, but also had a good reputation among her colleagues. This reputation eventually made her get the attention of the new legion commander.
——"This is your team member list. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."
She stretched out her hand and drew twice on the magic mirror in front of her, and the magic girl in front of Cornflower sent out a string of Favo runes. These runes seemed to have life, dancing in the air, and finally fell on the magic mirror belonging to Cornflower, turning into a list.
"Let me make it clear in advance that although I was the one who initially selected the candidates, the list has changed significantly after it was sent to the Legion Command for review."
The magical girl who gave the list looked tired, with dark circles under her eyes. She put a pipe in her mouth, took a deep puff, and then squinted her eyes and puffed out the smoke: "So even if you are not satisfied, scold me, and want to change people, I can't guarantee that I can help you change. I advise you to try to pick other topics, so that we can both save some energy."
"……What's the meaning?"
Although he was frightened by the poor appearance of his new superior, Cornflower quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at the list in his hand: "Could it be that many of the previous team leaders were dissatisfied with the list and wanted to change people?"
“Not much, but not a little either.”
The magical girl who didn't care about her image and was smoking in front of her subordinates was the current commander of the City Defense Corps of Cornflower, codenamed Lycoris. It was said that she was a powerful karuta transferred from the front line. She had experienced two hellish death-level battles a month ago, and her true image was overwhelmed, so she was transferred to the City Defense Corps as a commander.
Compared to the area directly bordering the boundary gate, the city defense army will undoubtedly face much less combat pressure. Although there will be a small group of enemy troops using magic to cross the front line and approach the city, the overall scale is not large, and it is not difficult to deal with it with the traps set up in advance. In addition, the city defense army’s task is only to clean up the remaining beasts around and maintain the defense fortifications set up outside the city. It can be called the "rear".
"As you know, too many people died in the previous battle of the Second Line of Defense. Even the Magical Girls Unit is very short of manpower. So for this reorganization, the higher-ups temporarily recruited a lot of new people."
With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, Lycoris looked at Cornflower with lifeless eyes: "I won't hide it from you. Adding these newcomers to the army is a hard target for this personnel arrangement. Each team must have at least one. And, how should I put it, this group of 'newcomers'... may have a big gap in quality."
"You mean this?"
Following the other party's words, Cornflower quickly found a name on the list in front of her. The name was "Nimu Kregios", and the age of the owner of the name was marked in very small font at the back - 10 years old.
10 years old is the minimum age limit to become a magical girl in the magic kingdom. Children who are younger, even if they are detected to have the qualifications to be a magical girl, must first be sent to the Silver Corridor to receive the most basic education.
In other words, this child's age is almost at the minimum age limit for magical girls, and now she appears on the roster of her own team.
"Ah, yes. That girl just became a magical girl last month. She can't even fly properly. In short, she's a rookie."
Lycoris shook the pipe in his hand and said, "Our army has been assigned three 10-year-old girls this time. They know nothing. Congratulations, your team now has one."
"Is this what you meant by applying for a replacement?" Cornflower squinted at the list he got, with a subtle expression.
"That's right, but I also told you that I can't guarantee that I can help you change it. After all, except for some kind-hearted people, no team wants to be assigned such a burden."
Lycoris shrugged rather leniently: "If no other team is willing to accept this 10-year-old girl, then she will have to go to your team."
"I really feel like scolding you now, Captain."
Cornflower saluted solemnly, and then said seriously: "Although we have known each other for a short time, it must be no one else who put her into my team from the beginning, right?"
"Then you can scold me as much as you want. I've been scolded in the face many times in my life. My face is the thickest part of my body."
Shichan exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke and said, "I won't use my superior's airs to pressure you. We are at war now. Many things that seem cruel at ordinary times are unavoidable. A little girl like her normally would have to stand in the last row when she follows the guards to collect a crippled animal, let alone join the army. But now we really have no one left. If they don't go to the battlefield, the ones facing the enemy will be even weaker civilians."
"But since they have all gone to the battlefield, I still hope that they can learn something, grow, and even survive this war, rather than being thrown out as cannon fodder in ignorance to die. And in order to meet this condition, I must put them in a trustworthy team."
"This is why I chose you, Cornflower. I've read your profile. You're a genius and a natural leader. More importantly, you have good character. In the three months since you joined the army, you've saved the lives of more than twenty colleagues in more than ten battles. Do you know what the magical girls who were in the same team with you called you?"
"What?"
Obviously, the affirmation in Lycoris's long speech helped Cornflower a little, so her resistance was reduced a little, and a little curiosity appeared on her face, which seemed to have no emotional fluctuations: "I am still somewhat confident in this aspect. I know that there are people who will praise me behind my back. Is it just a benefactor, or a soldier king or something..."
"No, they call you 'the nanny's staff'."
At this point, Lycoris couldn't help but puff up her cheeks, her nostrils slightly flared, with an expression that clearly wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it back: "If 'babysitter' is a power, you can take this power and take up the position of the Gem Scepter right now."
This conversation ends here.
Ignoring Cornflower's face which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Lycoris had an appointment to talk with other team leaders that day, so she quickly sent Cornflower out of the command center and asked her to get acquainted with her team members.
Stinky bitch.
Cornflower mentally labeled his superior a rather indecent person, and before leaving, he made a face at the headquarters when no one was watching.
However, this scene was caught by a military officer who was passing by the corner.
"Ah, that, I was just..."
Cornflower stammered, trying to find an excuse to explain her behavior, but before she could say anything, the military commander in front of her smiled gently and patted her on the shoulder.
"It's okay. I understand."
The military commander said so, then turned his head and clicked his tongue in the direction of Lycoris radiata.
Obviously, the legion commander's reputation and power within the army are not satisfactory.
According to Lycoris herself, she really didn't like it and wasn't really suited to the position in the rear. Rather than handling material and personnel arrangements and tinkering with paperwork and war reports in the rear, it would be better for her to continue fighting on the front lines. However, transferring her to the rear was a good intention from the higher-ups, and she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to take this position.
At present, it seems that what she said is true, otherwise the relationship within the legion would not have become like this.
But no matter what, the list of Cornflower's combat team has been finalized. Whether she is willing or not, the matter has been settled, so soon, she met with her team members as scheduled.
Cornflower, now 15 years old, is not too old for a magical girl, but not too young either. Unfortunately, her height is not convincing. In order to ensure that she has some authority in the team and not be treated as a child, she tried to keep a tight expression and greeted the 11 team members seriously, emphasizing the responsibilities of the city defense army and the discipline of the team.
Its content is nothing more than how to carry out maintenance work on fortifications in normal times, how to deal with enemies that may appear at any time, how to deal with those beasts that occasionally appear randomly, and the code of conduct for soldiers.
The military discipline of the national army varies in degree of strictness depending on the target. For ordinary soldiers, the discipline is extremely strict, and their standing and walking postures, as well as their daily living habits are strictly restricted to ensure that they obey orders; while for magical girls, the content of military discipline seems too loose, and generally only requires subordinates to obey the orders of their superiors and not to desert during battles, which can be regarded as the bottom line.
The people who formulated the military discipline probably knew that the strong personalities of magical girls were difficult to restrain, and that blindly suppressing them would only lead to a stronger backlash, so they made the rules so loose.
In fact, no matter how much Cornflower emphasized that she was the captain and the superior, and that soldiers should obey and respect their superiors, after her speech, she was still surrounded by several older magical girls, who asked her questions like a child, and some even pinched her face.
It took quite a bit of effort to get rid of this group of dishonest team members. Cornflower naturally did not forget the real purpose of his trip, which was to meet the 10-year-old team member, Nim Kregios.
After all, I am just a magical girl who looks a bit like a child. In fact, my strength and combat experience are not a problem. But this team member is a real child, and his qualities in all aspects are obviously not up to the standards of the national army. In order to prevent him from becoming a weakness in the team in future battles, I must give him some guidance in advance.
However, what surprised her was that before she could go find the child herself, another person came to her.
"I'm so sorry, Captain."
The first thing the visitor does when meeting someone is not to say hello, but to apologize. And it is not just a simple courtesy, but a deep bow, with the head almost lowered to the level of the abdomen.
Cornflower, who had just arrived, didn't know the name of the person in front of her. It was only after comparing it with the list that she found out the identity of the magical girl: Nina Kregios, 14 years old this year, the sister of the 10-year-old team member Nim, and also a member of her own team.
The reason why the two sisters are in the same team is actually because team member Nina made a request to the legion commander: her sister is too young, and if her incorporation into the army is unavoidable, then at least please let her and her sister be assigned to the same team.
As it turned out, the legion leader Lycoris did agree to this request. Not only that, she also made a special trip to find candidates to ensure that the captain of this team was someone she believed she could trust. After this set of procedures, Cornflower became the only unlucky one.
It is impossible to say that she has no emotions. Although Cornflower is not opposed to helping others, she also does not like being forced to be a babysitter. The two cannot be equated. So she admitted that even though she knew that the responsibility for this matter did not lie with the other party, but with the military leaders who recruited immature combat power, her attitude was not very kind when she first met the older sister:
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I... I really can't bear to leave my sister behind, so I asked the legion commander to arrange my sister and I into the same team."
The girl named Nina looked thin and small. Although she had transformed into a magical girl, her dark outfit still gave people a gloomy impression. She bowed deeply to the cornflowers, then raised her head, her thin neck shrank subconsciously, and she looked uneasy: "I know my sister is very immature and will definitely hold everyone back, so I'm sorry..."
"Are you talking about Nimue Kregios?"
Cornflower pretended to look through the list, acting as if she didn't care about this matter before, but now she needed to confirm the information: "Well, indeed, the information shows that she became a magical girl only last month? It does sound troublesome."
"I'm sorry." Nina bit her lip.
"This is the military, and an apology once is enough, because an apology alone cannot solve the problem."
Cornflower said with a straight face, "You have to understand that as your leader, I am responsible for the entire team, and sometimes, the lack of an available combat force can put everyone in trouble."
"...I know." Nina did not refute.
"So? What are your plans?" Cornflower examined the other party's performance.
"I, I know my sister is very immature, but she has always been a good and obedient child, so she will adapt quickly... But, please don't abandon her before then, Captain, and give her a chance."
Nina lowered her head again: "Before that, in exchange, please give me the most dangerous missions in the team."
"Are you serious?" Cornflower frowned.
"……Yes."
"Do you really have this ability?"
Cornflower asked again: "Dangerous missions often mean that the matter is of great importance. Are you trying to tell me that you are capable of completing such a mission without messing it up?"
Nina blinked, her expression a little dazed.
"I, I don't think I can..."
After a long while, she revealed a look of despair: "Then, what should I do? Can you accept the money? No, that's not right. I gave my response to the legion commander before, and there is no response now..."
"Stop, wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Cornflower reached out to stop her: "You gave all your feedback to the legion commander? Why?"
"She, she said that if she gave her money she would let Nim and me be together..."
Tears began to well up in Nina's eyes: "So I gave it all to her...I should have kept some for myself?"
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Upon hearing this, Cornflower's brows were already furrowed.
Under her questioning, Nina finally stammered and explained the whole story: the parents of the two sisters died in the early years due to the attack of the beasts, leaving them alone to depend on each other. Fortunately, the two sisters were found to have the qualifications of magical girls in a test, so the older sister became the pillar of support and became a magical girl early, raising her younger sister by hunting beasts.
As for her younger sister, Nim, because her elder sister was a magical girl, she was able to be sent to the Silver Corridor to study at a very young age. She has received three years of training and has mastered some theoretical knowledge. However, it is also because of this that she was able to pass the minimum age standard for the selection of magical girls and was selected as a magical girl at the age of ten. Then, at an age when she should not have been exposed to the battlefield, she was sent here because of the spread of war.
At this time, her elder sister Nina had already joined the army for some time. When she heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen. So she took out all the echoes she had accumulated over the years as a magical girl overnight, and found Lycoris, the legion commander who was said to have the power to influence the personnel arrangements of the Runnore City Defense Forces. She prayed that even if she could not keep her sister away from the battlefield, at least she and her sister could be in the same team.
In fact, in the eyes of most magical girls, even her elder sister Nina is only fourteen years old, and most magical girls at this age are still considered rookies. Although Nina has good talent and has obtained a white card at the age of thirteen, and even has a good chance of getting a word card in the assessment next year, when she is fifteen years old, and equaling the legendary record of Cornflower, she is still just a white card at this stage.
In this war, the white card Magical Girl can only be said to be "not cannon fodder", but it is far from being "capable of being the main force". The one who can really decide the situation on the local battlefield must be a card like Cornflower at the very least.
A white-label magical girl with a burden who had just become a magical girl for a month was naturally hated by many captains who were selecting reinforcements. The end of the story was the current result. The two were packed up by Lycoris who took bribes and thrown into Cornflower's team.
“…That bastard.”
Cornflower's mind was already filled with Lycoris's face smoking a pipe, and she couldn't help but clench her fists, wishing she could rush back to the headquarters and give that stinky face a punch. When she saw Nina's expression that was about to cry, she sighed helplessly: "So, the reason you were able to get your sister and yourself into the same team was because the legion commander took your money?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I should have left some for you." Nina replied with sobs.
"That's not what I'm talking about. I don't want your money."
Cornflower pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve helplessly and handed it to the other person: "Okay, wipe it off."
This also solved one of her doubts: what kind of person could persuade the commander of the city defense army to change his personnel arrangements.
Before, she thought that these two sisters were from a powerful family and came to her to gild their reputation under the pretext of war, so she naturally had some resistance. Now, she saw that they were just ignorant children who were cheated of money by the scumbag of the legion commander. The nature of the matter was not what she thought, so her attitude naturally softened a little.
"Thank you." Perhaps because she felt that crying like this would look ugly, Nina took Cornflower's handkerchief.
As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Although Nina had a bitter face from beginning to end, her attitude was indeed humble enough, even humble, so Cornflower could not say anything bad to her. While she was wiping her tears, Cornflower thought about it and finally gave a proposal that sounded more reasonable.
"...Forget it. I'll say it again. I don't want your money, but considering the special circumstances of you and your sister, it's impossible for me to not make any arrangements at all."
Trying to look serious, Cornflower coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said in the tone of voice that adults used to speak, "And since you asked for it yourself, I will do as you wish and assign you a very dangerous and difficult task."
"Yes." Nina wiped away her tears and tightened her expression, showing a fearless look.
"——For the next month, you will be in charge of guiding the new magical girls in our team. You will teach them basic battlefield skills and strive to not hold the team back."
Cornflower raised her chin slightly, looking down at the other party with a height lower than hers. "If you can't do that, then I will judge that none of you meet the needs of the National Army. I will ask the company commander to continue reporting and remove you from the National Army."
Nina held the handkerchief handed to her by Cornflower with a dazed expression.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Cornflower raised his voice a little: "Can you do it?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I can do that."
Responding to the other person's question in a low voice like a murmur, Nina subconsciously raised her handkerchief and wiped away the tears that were about to burst out again: "Thank you so much, I'm sorry."
"Your voice is too soft. I can't hear your determination. Tell me if you can do it?" Cornflower raised her voice again.
"I can do it!" This time, Nina finally opened her throat and shouted loudly.
"Very good. From now on, you are an official member of the Bluebonnet Squad. Therefore, I will only call you by your code name from now on."
Extending his hand, Cornflower slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relatively gentle smile:
"Looking forward to your performance, Mo He."
…
…
Delphinium opened her eyes in a flash of white light.
It took her a while to realize the source of the white light - it was the light at the head of the treatment bed, and then she realized where she was.
She was at the Institute, in Emerald's private laboratory, and had just been undergoing repairs and treatment on her heart gem.
"woke up?"
Emerald's behavior did not escape the eyes of Delphinium. She switched from half-lying in the reclining chair to sitting, and then manipulated the reclining chair with pulleys to move to the side of the treatment bed: "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. How do you feel?"
"I had a dream. I dreamt about some things in the past."
Delphinium held her head and sat up from the treatment bed. She shook her head and noticed the heart gem placed on the side of the treatment bed. "Apart from feeling a little dizzy, I feel fine. How are you doing?"
"The surgery turned out perfectly. Your heart gem is now fine."
Emerald tapped her legs and looked proud. "Except for the two pitiful magic suits that you completely destroyed, you should now be able to use all the abilities you had before you were injured."
"All abilities?"
Delphinium looked suspicious, then opened her hand slightly, and a few threads flickered in her palm. She then realized that the pain in her soul that was like a maggot on her tarsal bones when she used the magic suit before had disappeared, and now she seemed to no longer feel uncomfortable because of using the magic suit.
Thinking of this, she snapped her fingers again, and a silver-white wall emerged beside her - this time she tried using her own wonderland, and the entire unfolding process was incredibly smooth, without any stagnation or even the slightest discomfort, which was even better than the feeling she had before the Full Moon Festival.
By this time, Delphinium's expression had changed from suspicion to surprise.
She moved without pause. After realizing that her injuries seemed to have really improved, she crossed her hands and made a pose that she had not made in twenty years. As she made this move, the silk magic armor around her body obediently wrapped around her fingertips. The silver-blue starlight flowed along the silk thread as if it had life, and finally formed a silver-blue silk flower bud on her hands.
Looking at the flower bud, Delphinium was in a trance for a while, and then she slowly spoke: "Great prosperity--"
——“Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
Emerald on the side almost jumped on her to stop Delphinium from taking any further action: "Don't bloom in other people's laboratories! And I haven't finished talking just now, all abilities can be used, but it's best to wait a few days before blooming!"
"Why?"
"What do you mean by why? You have lived in the material world for so many years, how can you ask such a stupid question? Have you ever seen an ordinary person in the material world run after having an open abdominal surgery?"
Emerald frowned. "I said, your wound has only healed, but the repaired part needs some time to settle and become completely solid. Just like the sutures in a physical surgery, if you move around, you will mess up the wound."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Delphinium stopped her move to start blooming and asked, "How long do we have to wait?"
"Seven days? Ten days? It won't take long anyway. After all, it was me who performed the surgery."
Emerald waved her hand and said, "To be on the safe side, you should wait until the assessment begins. During this time, try to rest as much as possible and avoid fighting. Your wounds will heal faster."
"I see."
Delphinium took her heart gem, turned over and jumped off the treatment bed: "In short, my true form has been fully restored now?"
"In theory it has been restored, but in reality it may be different. To be specific, you should have seen the statue, right?"
Emerald said nonchalantly, "You smashed a stone statue into pieces, then selected a few pieces from it, destroyed them completely, and then used glue to barely piece the remaining pieces together to make a pile of rubble. That's what you did before."
"That sounds a bit rough," Delphinium commented.
"Who says it's not true? After all, only young people like you dare to abuse your bodies like this."
Emerald sighed. "My job in the material world is to wash off your inferior glue and put the remaining statue fragments back to their original positions. After I get here, I will use the source of love to fill in the pieces that have completely disappeared before, ensuring that the remaining pieces can be in their proper positions. However, this repair is not perfect."
"Why?"
"Because I'm just a craftsman, not a sculptor."
Emerald spread her hands: "What I can do is fill in the gaps with new stones, but I can't carve. These stones are just stones, they are not part of the sculpture."
"Who can carve?" Delphinium asked again.
"No one."
Emerald shook her head. "At least there is no one who can carve it now, not even His Majesty."
Delphinium fell silent.
"So, what I want to tell you is that your true self seems to be functioning normally now, but some lost things will not come back, and they can't withstand another injury."
Emerald placed one hand on the edge of the treatment bed, her face serious: "If you sacrifice your magic suit again like before, next time, you, or 'Lin Yun', will disappear from this world."
"……I see."
After a while, Delphinium nodded: "Thank you for your reminder."
This was not a promise, because Emerald was really considering her and gave this advice out of good intentions.
The two chatted for a while, mostly with Emerald giving instructions on some matters of concern, and then, as it was already past noon, Emerald sent Delphinium away on the pretext of "wanting to take a nap".
"Then I'll leave first." said Delphinium standing at the gate.
"Let's go, just remember what I said."
Emerald had already dragged out bedding and pillows from somewhere and lazily responded, "Return the way you came out. The people at the door know what to do. I've told them everything."
"Okay." Delphinium said, and was about to close the door.
——"Oh, that's right."
Before she was about to close the door, Emerald in the laboratory suddenly spoke again: "There is one small thing that I forgot to tell you before, that is, this treatment has a very small, insignificant side effect. But overall it is not important and has no effect on your life and combat. You may notice it later."
Side effects? When she understood this word, Delphinium had already closed the door of the laboratory, and after the door of the laboratory was closed, it turned into nothingness, so she couldn't ask Emerald anymore.
Thinking about what this "insignificant" side effect might be, Delphinium walked out of the research institute, but soon she felt that something seemed wrong.
Although it wasn't very obvious, she always felt that the corridor she passed through when leaving was a little longer than the corridor she came through.
Not only that, there seems to be some subtle differences in my field of vision when I walk.
This difference soon turned into an ominous premonition. Before leaving the research institute, Delphinium found a mirror and confirmed that her current appearance was no different from before. Then she took out her magic suit and began to compare her body data with the help of the length of the silk thread.
Soon, she knew what was wrong.
——My height seems to have shortened by two centimeters.
