Chapter 45 After the Stay
Early in the morning, when she woke up from bed, Delphinium subconsciously reached out to the pillow, but then she realized something and stopped.
Because she remembered that this was not her room, and there was someone next to her, it was Xia Liang.
Bathed in the morning light, Xia Liang, lying on the bed, was breathing evenly, apparently still in a deep sleep.
The memories of last night resurfaced, and Delphinium couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she recalled her previous experiences.
She never wanted to sleep with Xia Liang again.
Not to mention that she was held tightly before falling asleep, even after Xia Liang fell asleep, it took her a lot of effort to move out of his arms. In order not to disturb the sleeping Xia Liang, Cuique tried to pull his hand back little by little, but several times Xia Liang, who was half asleep, suddenly hugged her hard, and finally all her efforts were in vain.
It was not until almost dawn that she finally broke free, finally getting rid of the suffocating feeling of being trapped and getting a good night's sleep.
In the early morning, the awakened Delphinium jumped out of bed quietly. She took off her pajamas, and blue magic threads surged from under her feet. After these threads were wrapped around her body, the light dissipated and reconstructed the navy blue dress she usually wore.
After covering the bed with the quilt again, Cuiqiao looked at Xia Liang who was sleeping soundly. After confirming that her actions had no effect on him, she walked towards the balcony of the house with confidence.
——It’s not that she left without saying goodbye, but because she had to go to work next.
For junior high school students like Xia Liang, it is already summer vacation time. During the vacation, they can sleep in as much as they want without worrying about being late. But this is not the case for Cuiqiao, because adults do not have summer vacation.
Rather, because she stayed out last night, she had to secretly go home before going to work today to pick up her briefcase and other office supplies.
Finding the balcony of Xia Liang's house, Cuiqiao held the railing and jumped lightly into the air. Then, with the surge of magic power, she flew up and rushed into the sky beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In order to prevent the noise of its flight from being noticed, Delphinium has always controlled the sound of its magic power and tried to choose high-altitude routes, so as to avoid being noticed to the greatest extent possible.
This route would be fine in other seasons, but it was summer now. The sun rose earlier and the sunshine lasted longer, so in the morning, she had to face the scorching sun when she flew high into the sky.
Along the way, she squinted her eyes to adapt to the glaring sunlight of the summer morning, and looked down at the ground from time to time to confirm her flight trajectory. After a while, Delphinium found her home and quickly made an emergency landing. The windows of the high-rise apartment had a limited opening angle, so she tried to repeat the same trick and walk in from her own balcony.
But this plan encountered obstacles.
When she tried to open the glass door to the balcony, she found that the sliding door did not move at all. Enduring the sunlight reflected by the glass, she looked through the door and saw that the bolt on the inside was locked.
It's a very good anti-theft awareness, but it only protects one's own people.
Delphinium commented in her heart.
After all, the father is away on business, and it is always a good idea to lock the doors and windows when the minor is alone at home.
Of course, this simple measure can only stop robbers or thieves, but it is useless for magical girls. Delphinium stretched out her hand and released magic power, letting the magic power in her hand penetrate through the gap of the balcony door, and then used her magic suit to hook the magic thread to drive the anti-theft bolt from the inside of the door, and finally unlocked it.
After standing there and hesitating for a while whether to change back to her original form, Delphinium quickly came to the conclusion: go in and take a look at the situation first.
She put away her magic suit, pushed open the balcony door, and walked towards her bedroom as lightly as possible. But before she walked out of the living room, she heard a voice that made her heart skip a beat.
——"Mr. Inspector?"
When she turned around, she found it was Mo Ke, who was lying on the sofa, raising his head and looking at her in surprise.
Its wings were lying on its back, its face was dazed and its eyes were sleepy, and it had obviously just woken up from a deep sleep.
Because Moko usually slept in Lin Xiaolu's room, and the spell cast on it before could only roughly show that it was at home, so Kusanagi never considered that it would be in the living room at this point, and was completely witnessed entering the house.
A sense of fear arose in her heart. Trying to calm her heartbeat which was running much faster than usual, Delphinium was somewhat glad that she had not chosen to transform back on the balcony.
The current situation did not leave her much time to react, so she suppressed her nervousness and pretended to be calm and asked:
"You are here?"
"Well, is that so?" Having just woken up from his sleep, Mo Ke obviously didn't understand the situation yet.
"That's just right, I came here to find you."
Nodding, Cuiqiao said seriously: "I should have said last night that I would give Baimei and Xiaojin special training during the holiday."
"Special training... Oh, it's for the certification test, right?" Recognizing what Kusanagi said, Moko flapped his wings and sat up. "I know. What are your instructions, Inspector?"
Moko is usually a very naughty and self-centered fairy, but when facing Delphinium, or the title of "Inspector", he shows extraordinary obedience and respect.
This was actually something that puzzled Delphinium, but now was not the time to ask.
"I want you to be responsible for supervising their training during the day."
With her hands folded across her chest, she looked at Mo Ke calmly: "Is it okay?"
In fact, in her original plan, she had not intended to let Moko be in charge of this task. After all, no matter how she thought about it, it would be difficult for this silly sower to control the two new magical girls.
She originally planned to edit her training plan directly into text and send it to Lin Xiaolu via message, asking her and Xia Liang to follow it. She would only be responsible for checking the results every night.
But at the moment, she had to think of a reason to fool Mo Ke, so she could only say this.
"Eh? Supervising Xiaolu and Xiaoliang's training?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ke's ears immediately perked up, and his expression was obviously a little moved, but he still evaded the question, "If we let them take the test next year, it would be safer for you to do it yourself, right? Is it really appropriate to give such an important task to me now?"
"I have my own job during the day, so I can't come in person."
Delphinium explained casually: "Besides, what's the problem? You are their sower. It's your job to be responsible for such things, right?"
"But..." Mo Ke still wanted to be humble.
"I believe in your ability." Delphinium stared at it seriously. "No one is born perfect. Although you became a sower by accident, I believe you have your own unique potential since you were chosen."
"Mr. Inspector!"
Mo Ke looked flattered: "You think so highly of me!"
"I am indeed optimistic about you, but as for whether your potential can be turned into strength, it depends on your performance." Delphinium struck while the iron was hot and said as if with some implication.
"Now that you say so..."
With an excited look on his face, Mo Ke fluttered his wings and jumped up from the sofa, saying loudly: "Yes, leave it to me! I will definitely complete the task!"
The conversation between the two sides ended with Moko's excited oath.
Next, Delphinium told Moko about the prepared training items, and it took about ten minutes for it to understand its responsibilities.
With reasonable reasons and comprehensive evidence, Moko completely believed what Cuique said and began to concentrate on the task.
Although she succeeded in confusing the matter, Kuija wanted to take advantage of the momentum to go to her own room, but looking at Moko's respectful expression, she knew that doing so would only cause the other party to have new doubts.
If Mo Ke becomes confused, Lin Xiaolu will inevitably become confused as well, which is what she doesn't want to see.
In the end, unable to come up with any other excuses, Delphinium could only maintain the cold attitude of a superior, and left his home under Moko's respectful gaze, with a proud look on his face but actually sighing in his heart.
On that day, Lin Yun, who did not bring his bag to work, made three more phone calls to apologize.
