Chapter 278 Tulip
Tulip was once a well-known figure in the city defense forces of Runnore.
It's not just because the other party's mother is the legion commander. In fact, there are only a very few people in the legion who know Tulip's real name and her relationship with the legion commander.
The reason why he became a celebrity in the city defense army, and even once had the reputation of "Angel of Command", was mainly due to his work and dedication in the army.
The so-called "angel" not only describes the other person's beautiful blonde appearance, but also refers to her considerate and gentle personality, as well as the nature of her job as a medical logistics worker to save lives and heal the wounded.
She is the most skilled officer in Chinese medicine in the entire logistics and medical department, and also the officer who understands emergency management and resource allocation the best. Not only has she personally cured many seriously injured patients, saved the lives of dying people, and saved the bodies of wounded soldiers who might have been disabled, she has also successfully organized collective rescue work after several wars. She maintained the operation of the medical unit when it was almost overloaded, allowing more wounded to be treated in time.
Such achievements naturally made the soldiers in the legion respect and love her. In addition, Tulip was always gentle to others. Her soft voice when treating patients was called "the best spiritual healing". Many soldiers injured on the front line claimed that they were "comforted by angels" after being treated by her. This reputation made many people look up to Tulip, and the nickname "Angel" was thus spread.
However, because of their different working environments, Cornflower and Tulip were just nodding acquaintances at that time, and they met mostly at the Corps Commander's headquarters and the logistics medical department. In addition, Delphinium herself was rarely injured on the front line and had not received Tulip's treatment, so they were even less familiar with each other.
Now, Delphinium is thankful for the unfamiliarity between the two.
Although she relied on her good eyesight and memory to confirm the other party's identity at first sight, the other party did not seem to recognize Delphinium because of her disguise as "Gentian".
"It's so late, am I here to see you?"
The blonde magical girl who should have the code name "Tulip" in her memory just glanced at Delphinium and then looked away, looking at the curly-haired girl next to her: "Do you know her?"
"No, I don't know him."
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes from yawning. The curly-haired girl covered her mouth and shook her head: "She said she was here to look for Mo He, but maybe she went to the wrong place?"
"Mo He..."
The blonde girl was startled when she heard this, and then her expression gradually became serious. She looked at Delphinium again, but this time her expression was no longer so casual: "Who are you?"
Delphinium noticed that although the other party did not make any obvious movements in his body, one of his hands was already behind his back. If nothing unexpected happened, this was probably a preliminary action to prepare for transformation.
Coupled with the other party's vigilant reaction, Delphinium couldn't help but wonder: Did she say something wrong? Moreover, in her memory, Tulip should be a very gentle and kind magical girl, why is she so aggressive? "I'm Mo He's teammate, and I'm here to borrow her car."
Although she didn't know where the other party's inexplicable hostility came from, Cuique didn't want to have a conflict at this time, so she pretended not to notice the other party's vigilance, and just simplified her words, trying to be as concise as possible: "But the lady over there said that she didn't know 'Mo He', may I go to the wrong place?"
"Borrow a car?"
The blonde girl narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Delphinium's face with her golden eyes, as if she had to see something: "Then why did you find this place?"
"Because I came here with her the day before yesterday."
The cold wind blew across Delphinium's back, and the sudden chill made her shiver twice, but she still acted like a passerby who didn't know what was going on: "She told me that she lives here now, so the place should be correct. Did she move to a new house?"
The blonde girl was silent for a moment, but her eyes still did not move away from Delphinium's face. She seemed to be thinking about something, but the hand behind her back had unconsciously dropped again, obviously giving up the most dangerous plan.
"Your memory is correct. Mo He does live here."
She closed her eyes, and the sharp gaze that had been fixed on Delphinium disappeared, and then she said, "But she is dealing with work matters now. I will go call her."
——"Eh? Is there really a Mo He?"
This time, the most surprised person turned out to be the curly-haired girl at the side: "Ah, could it be that the 'Mo He' that the child mentioned is black..."
She only said half of her words, and before she could finish the remaining few words, she was pulled into the house by the blonde girl who reached out her hand from the house, and the sound of her words disappeared.
Delphinium, who was left outside the door alone, looked at the cottage that was once again shrouded in the partition spell, thinking deeply.
Although I don't know the reason yet, I seem to have resolved a possible conflict with my concise and clear expression.
Judging from Tulip's reaction, if she couldn't explain her purpose and identity within three sentences, she would probably fight with her in Caiyun Wetland.
Although Delphinium is now confident that she will not lose even if a fight really breaks out, she has not forgotten the purpose of her coming here. If she clashes with the other party, it will waste more time and will be completely counterproductive.
She didn't want to fight, so she tried her best to avoid exacerbating the conflict. But even if she succeeded in weakening the other party's hostility, new questions arose:
——Is this girl-like magical girl really Tulip? Why is she with Mo He, and why has she become like this?
Judging from her appearance, the other party was undoubtedly the magical girl codenamed Tulip in Delphinium's memory. However, this cold and hostile look was completely different from the Tulip in her memory.
Delphinium already knew that Mo He and her "team" were doing something that was considered "poaching" for the country. If they were worried about being discovered by the country, it was not surprising that the members of this team were more cautious. However, even if it was out of caution, would someone who was once known for being "gentle and gentle" really show such a degree of hostility? Delphinium did not understand, and she did not have time to think about this question.
For her, the most urgent task at the moment was to borrow a car and then resolve the identity conflict crisis when facing Lin Xiaolu. She had already wasted five minutes at the door of the cabin and had to leave quickly.
Therefore, when Mo He really walked out of the hut, Cuiqiao did not ask about the tulips. She thought that she would ask about it after solving the problem with Lin Xiaolu, and then she said:
"Sorry, Mo He, to bother you so late, but I need to go to the magic-free area to do something. Can you please lend me your car?"
Mo He at the door was still wearing the dark school uniform and knitted jacket. She did not look like she was resting. When she confirmed that the visitor was Delphinium, she walked out of the door and took two steps towards Delphinium: "Going to the magic-free area? I'll take you there."
"…Thank you, but no thanks."
Delphinium shook her head. "Because I'm not sure of the location either, I need to drive a vehicle to find the way, so I thought of borrowing your car. If you were to take me there, it would take up a lot of your time."
Mo He looked back at the room and found that the curly-haired girl had half of her head stuck out from the door at some point, as if she wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people. So she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the partition spell around the room rose again, directly locking the other person in.
"I have plenty of time." Then, she said to Delphinium, "Just take a night out for a spin."
"Your companion told me that you still have work to attend to."
But Delphinium didn't believe her: "Besides, I think I need to think more about what we talked about this afternoon. Maybe we both need a cooling-off period."
"Cooling-off period?... I understand."
Mo He nodded expressionlessly: "If you need it."
She didn't ask any more questions or say anything more, but just took two steps closer to Delphinium, then slowly raised her hand and took off her knitted coat. She spread out the coat, smoothed the wrinkles with one hand, then held the coat in her hand, slowly walked around Delphinium and draped it over her shoulders.
"It's very cold at night, so I'll lend you this too. Otherwise, you'll be very uncomfortable."
Her hand stayed on Delphinium's shoulder for a moment, then dropped down, and she turned away expressionlessly: "Come on, I'll take you to get the car."
