Chapter 324 Team Invitation
"A hero?"
Obviously, this was the first time the girl knew that there was such an angle of explanation from Delphinium: "Obviously, what I did was not what the Sunset Angel in the original work would do. It was more like I borrowed this image to gain the likes of some people..."
"Will the 'Sunset Angel' in the animation jump out of the TV and help the citizens defeat the remaining beasts?" Delphinium asked with a raised eyebrow.
The girl was speechless.
"See, obviously you know she can't."
Delphinium continued, "She can't really help people in danger. Only you can do this."
"There are so many animations in this world, and there are so many magical girl characters in them, but only the character of 'Evening Angel' is so lucky. Because she has a real-life spokesperson like you, who is willing to use her image to do what a magical girl should do, so that people can see and feel that there is a magical girl with such an image, who is truly active in this world."
“There will even be people who have never watched ‘Aizoara Tenshi’ before and will watch this animation because of your activeness. There will also be people who have watched this animation before and didn’t like ‘Twilight Tenshi’ and will like this character because of your contribution.”
"So, aren't you the biggest contributor to this animation and this character?"
Delphinium felt that her logic was getting more and more logical, and she had almost convinced herself: "In summary, I think this is a good thing. Because you like it, you should cherish this opportunity. It's not easy to use your favorite character image as a magical girl, so you should show this image to everyone more. Let the good part, the bright part, and the active part be seen by everyone. Because only in this way can you let more people know about this animation and this character. The 'Sunset Angel' you like will be known and liked by more people because of your activeness. This is obviously a very valuable thing, isn't it?"
After finishing this long speech, Delphinium pretended to be "just sharing experience" and looked at the girl calmly.
At this moment, the magical girl code-named "Dogtail Grass", who had been dejected, raised her head, her eyes sparkling behind her glasses.
"So that's how it is... So you can think this way!"
Her voice rose a little: "That's right! I'm actually not wrong. I'm doing this to preach for "Sky Angels" and "Sunset Angels". I can make more people like this animation!"
"That's right." Delphinium nodded.
"I'm not monopolizing or misinterpreting the role! Because I'm a real magical girl, I should take the Sunset Angel as an example and work hard to become like her!"
"No problem," Delphinium agreed.
"As long as I can be more active and defeat more remnants of the beasts, everyone will share this gratitude with the Sunset Angel, and her popularity will be higher! Even surpass the Rainbow Angel! In the popularity vote, she will trample those annoying protagonist fans under her feet!"
"...Is that right?" Delphinium was a little suspicious.
"Thank you very much! That...little sister? What's your code name, please?" Dogtail Grass seemed to have figured out the key point and promptly ended his boastful remarks that were somewhat off track, and turned to look at Delphinium seriously.
Should I tell her the code name? After thinking for a moment, Delphinium did not hide it, but said simply: "Gentian."
Even though she now knew that this identity was related to a certain animation, she had no intention of giving herself another pseudonym. After all, she could always just explain it away as a coincidence, which was easier than continuing to add to her lies.
"Dragon, gentian?"
Just as Delphinium expected, this code name made Dogtail Grass cover her mouth with both hands, looking quite surprised. But soon, she figured out something and showed a look of admiration: "So that's how it is, you are also a true fan of "Sweet Angel"! You are willing to do this to restore the character!"
Delphinium opened her mouth, feeling as though she should explain something. However, she also felt that this explanation was the easiest way to get away with it, so she could only utter a short "uh".
“…Yeah, I’m a fan of the original.”
After a while, she responded weakly, as if half of her strength had been drained away.
"In this regard, although you seem to be younger than me, the one who has achieved it first is the one who has achieved it first. I want to thank you! Senior Longdan!"
The foxtail grass slightly raised itself up and bowed deeply to the larkspur: "After listening to your words, I suddenly became enlightened! Or rather, your words are the biggest gain for me in this trip to the kingdom!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Delphinium replied stiffly like a robot: "I didn't do anything, I was just throwing out some ideas."
"Thank you so much no matter what! So, Rindou-senpai!"
The foxtail grass suddenly leaned forward and put its face in front of the delphinium:
"Would you like to be my teammate? Want to team up with me?"
"……Um?"
The sudden invitation brought back some of Delphinium's attention. She blinked her eyes, looked at the big face in front of her and said, "You mean team up? With me?"
"Yes, because I just observed from the outside, and it seems that you still don't have a team..."
Dogtail Grass also realized that the distance between him and Delphinium was a bit impolite, so he stepped back a little and adjusted his glasses that had slipped off his nose because of his previous peeking. "Do you mean you already have a team? Am I being rude?"
"No, not really." Delphinium told the truth.
"Really? Then..." Dogtail Grass's interest suddenly rose a lot.
"But why do you want to team up with me?"
Delphinium interrupted the other party's invitation and asked curiously, "Although it seems inappropriate for me to say this, it would be better to find a teammate who is older and more reliable in terms of combat ability and combat experience, right?"
Regarding the fact that no one had invited her to form a team before, Cuiqiao actually had no extra emotions in her heart. After all, the actual combat assessment was no joke, and it was natural for all candidates to effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the team. Although it might be suspected of judging people by appearance, it was also a manifestation of seeking truth from facts and taking steady steps, and there was absolutely no problem in not choosing those magical girls who "looked young and therefore lacked combat effectiveness" as teammates.
Moreover, from the perspective of practical effect, Cuique had not intended to use all her strength for the so-called assessment. In her plan, no matter which team she joined, she should only show the ability to not be a drag. The ability of the bud level is enough, at best it can only reach the leaf level. Any more would be completely bullying the weak, which is unfair to other candidates.
Therefore, she was now more curious about the reason why the other party invited her.
"Why?"
Dogtail Grass didn't expect Delphinium to ask him this, so he was slightly stunned: "Because Senior Longdan taught me, I am very grateful to you, and we have similar hobbies, it seems that we get along well, it should be very happy to form a team... like this?"
"What if I'm weak? Haven't you ever thought about this?"
Delphinium continued to ask: "What if he invites me to be his teammate because we get along well, but then I drag him down and he fails the assessment?"
"Ah...it seems so. After all, you don't seem to be very old, Rindou-senpai."
The dogtail grass was stunned for a moment, but soon regrouped: "But that's okay. How should I put it? I'm not bragging. Although Lishui City is a small city, I'm actually quite powerful. My predecessors often say that I'm quite strong."
"So?" Delphinium also gradually showed a thoughtful look on her face.
"So, leave the matter of passing the assessment to me!"
Dogtail Grass put his hands together and smiled: "Just follow me, I will lead you to victory!"
