Chapter 261 Meeting
When Delphinium bought two sets of clothes in the commercial street and was leaning against the counter waiting to check out, the vibration from the mobile phone in her bag attracted her attention.
She opened her bag and checked it, and found that the phone that received the message was Lin Yun's. However, there was no one else here who knew her, so there was no possibility of identity conflict, so Cuique did not hesitate and chose to take out the phone directly.
When she opened the message page, she saw the message from Lin Xiaolu at the top:
[Lin Xiaolu: [Picture] Today’s schedule is to try making chocolate because I heard that today is Valentine’s Day and I can give chocolate to the person I love. 】
The hand holding the phone paused for a moment, and Kuei-Jin's gaze narrowed slightly with a sharp look. He raised his fingers and quickly typed the words "Who are you planning to give it to" on the screen. But after that, she stared at the candidate interface of the emoticon package for a long time before making the final choice:
Who do you plan to give it to? [silly smile]]
In order to avoid sounding like an interrogation, she decided to add a smiley face. And the expression of [smile] seemed to her to have a bit of a fake smile, so she chose this expression of a big grin.
It’s not that she doubted her daughter. In fact, after living together for more than half a year under disguised identities, she was sure that Lin Xiaolu had no tendency to fall in love prematurely. However, they are now in a magical kingdom. In this society where everything is based on magic, the identity of a magical girl will be more attractive to the people of the kingdom than the material world. There is no guarantee that the opposite sex will not try to chat up the younger generations.
The three younger generations, especially Lin Xiaolu, are still children. Although they are definitely not at the age to fall in love, it is hard to say that they will not be deceived by the bad guys' sweet words. Therefore, Cuique is absolutely vigilant in this regard, if not on high alert.
[To Delphinium! 】
Fortunately, the reply from Lin Xiaolu was straightforward and immediately dispelled Cuique's unnecessary thoughts.
Oh, that's okay.
Feeling relieved, Delphinium also relaxed her tense attitude.
After deleting all the unnecessary "advice" that had been typed in the input box, Cuiqiao pretended nothing had happened and chatted with Lin Xiaolu for a few words, and then encouraged his daughter in the identity of Lin Yun. The conversation was eventually interrupted by a clerk at the clothing store, simply because the checkout that Delphinium was waiting for had been completed.
"Miss, your order has been completed!"
As the clerk said this, he handed a bag of clothes to Delphinium, which contained a set of small-sized casual clothes that Delphinium had purchased earlier.
Thanks to the higher number of magical girls in the magical kingdom, clothing stores here generally prepare smaller standard sizes than those in the material world, so Delphinium can finally choose two proper clothes instead of having to buy children's clothes.
The reason why it is called two sets of clothes is that one of them is already worn by Delphinium: a beige open-collar double-breasted jacket with the hem reaching mid-thigh. And a pure white slim straight trousers, paired with brown thick-soled loafers.
In addition, her hairstyle at this time was not long hair, but the hairstyle that a "dragon" should have, with her hair tied into a bun at the back of her head. With the two factors working together, Cuiqiao finally looks like a capable professional, and is no longer mistaken for a child.
After buying herself a decent set of clothes, Cuique's next step was naturally to find Mo He to keep her appointment. But when she booked a fairy carriage online and arrived at the meeting place an hour in advance, she found that Mo He was already waiting there.
However, unexpectedly, Mo He was surrounded by several sheriffs at this time.
"Excuse me, this is a temporary security check. Here is my ID. Could you please take out all your belongings? I promise you that this check will not take up too much of your time." said the leading sheriff.
"Eh? Why? Can you not check?"
Mo He showed considerable resistance and confusion.
After all, in her opinion, she didn't do anything bad. She was just standing there waiting for someone. She came to the street corner early to keep an appointment with someone. In order not to block the passage of pedestrians along the way, she even shrank into the alley next to her, leaving only her head exposed to confirm whether her "captain" had arrived. But for some reason, someone suddenly came here with the sheriff, pointed at me and said "It's her", and then the situation became what it is now.
"I'm sorry, but a nearby resident reported you for acting suspiciously, which was disturbing."
The sheriff rejected Mo He expressionlessly, and at the same time stopped in front of his two tense teammates, and said seriously: "We don't want to intensify the conflict, so please cooperate."
"suspicious?"
Mo He raised his hand and pointed at himself, then raised his head. The ribbon behind his head also shook twice. Unfortunately, this action aroused further vigilance among the sheriffs, and one of them even reached behind his back and grabbed his baton.
"Please remain standing and accept inspection. Don't move!" The leading sheriff also raised his voice and warned seriously.
"...I didn't do anything." Mo He had no choice but to raise his hands.
Just when the situation was becoming increasingly tense and was almost about to turn into a conflict, Delphinium finally arrived. She stood at a distance that she thought was enough, and said to the sheriffs in relatively clear words: "Excuse me, may I bother you for a moment, I know this person."
Her voice immediately attracted the attention of several sheriffs, causing one of them to look at her: "What?"
"I want to say that this person is my friend. She and I have an appointment to go shopping together, so she is waiting for me here."
Delphinium stood still and said, "It's just that she is a little shy and feels uncomfortable when she meets a lot of people, so she may do some strange behaviors."
"…Are you sure?"
This testimony, coupled with Delphinium's relatively decent and capable image at the moment, made the sheriffs look at each other and relax a little: "Miss, we need to verify the credibility of your words."
"I can show you my ID."
Delphinium was quite calm: "If you allow me to come closer, I can also give you more explanations, but I don't want too many people to hear what I am about to say next."
"Okay." The sheriff in charge agreed to her request.
Just like that, Delphinium stepped forward and showed her ID, then lowered her voice and said something to the sheriffs in a volume that passers-by couldn't hear. These words seemed to have some magical power that made them feel visibly reassured.
Not only that, the way they looked at Mo He also changed from vigilance to respect and some sympathy. The leading sheriff even turned back to Mo He and said "sorry" to her.
After that, the sheriffs left.
"Captain, that's amazing."
As soon as they left, Mo He sighed: "No matter what the situation is, you seem to be able to save me."
"That's because if you just behave normally, these 'crises' won't exist..."
Delphinium sighed helplessly: "I thought what happened yesterday was just a coincidence. How come you encounter this kind of thing every day?"
"I don't know either."
Mo He tilted his head, looking equally confused: "But what did the captain say to them just now? Why did they apologize to me?"
"You really want to listen?"
"Well, I'm a little curious." Mo He nodded.
"In order to get out of this as quickly as possible, I told them that you are a magical girl and a veteran of the war between the two worlds, so your personality was somewhat affected by the war."
Delphinium glanced at her and said, "Of course, these are just things I said to resolve the situation quickly. While there is some truth to them, they may not necessarily reflect your current situation. I'm sorry."
She felt that it was not good to fabricate stories about others in front of them, so even if it was to resolve the problem, it was necessary to apologize to the other party afterwards.
"I see. You are worthy of being the captain."
However, Mo He acted as if she didn't care at all. Obviously, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Cuique's behavior.
Not only that, her calm face even had a bit of inexplicable brilliance, as if her mood had improved a little: "Even now, you still see through me very easily."
