Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 61 – Old photos

Her eyes were blurred by tears, and tears overflowed from her eyes, flowing down her cheeks and falling onto the screen of her phone.

Her throat tightened, her voice choked, and she felt like she was already a magical girl who saved others. She shouldn't be so weak now, but she couldn't stop sobbing no matter what.

"So it's like this."

The real magical girl had always been by her side, and she had been the child favored by the magical girl from the beginning.

But, unexpectedly, she only knew all of this two years after losing her.

Lin Xiaolu initially only shed tears, but soon covered her face and sobbed silently.

She thought that in the two years since her mother's death, she had already cried enough and shed enough tears. She had figured it out, become numb, and wouldn't cry so miserably for her anymore.

But for no reason, when she discovered the connection between herself and her mother as a magical girl, she suddenly realized that she had so much to say to her mother.

Becoming a magical girl wasn't as easy as she had imagined.

The brutal beasts were disgusting, annoying, and terrifying.

Studying magic power was hard and boring.

The magical kingdom seemed like a complicated place.

Senior Cui Que was a very good person.

They had partners to fight together now.

Maybe she had already started to understand her father.

And... she didn't expect that even after two years, she still missed her so much.

Various thoughts mixed with grief, locked in a small compartment. Even though the car was speeding all the way, the longing held them together and couldn't be left behind.

Lin Xiaolu cried sadly, and Xia Liang beside her didn't know how to comfort her. Lin Yun in the front seat remained silent and didn't say much.

At least in his opinion, it was a good thing to be able to cry at this time.

If sorrow and tears were always kept in the heart, if longing and regret were buried forever, then after a long time, one wouldn't even be able to confirm whether that feeling still existed.

The crying in the car continued for a long time, until Lin Xiaolu gradually stopped and began to sob softly. Xia Liang patted her back and continued to ask Lin Yun:

"Uncle, but if what you said is true, there seems to be another question about this photo."

She looked at Cui Que and An Ya in the photo, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "If Xiaolu's mother and Cui Que were magical girls at the same time, then she should have retired a long time ago, right?"

As far as she and Lin Xiaolu knew, Cui Que was a resident of the magical kingdom.

After all, Cui Que had never mentioned which city she came from, and she always emphasized that she was much older than them, and was confirmed by others as a "big shot." She didn't seem like a magical girl from the material world.

Regarding Cui Que's emphasis on being an adult, the two girls had always been skeptical, but now that they saw this photo, their remaining doubts disappeared.

"She didn't retire."Seeing that Lin Xiaolu's emotions had stabilized considerably, Lin Yun sighed inwardly, then said expressionlessly, "Because Lu Lu's mother is special, she is a lifelong Magical Girl, different from others."

This brand-new concept left both teary-eyed Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, who was comforting her, feeling bewildered.

—"Lifelong? Little Lu's mother is lifelong?"

Unlike the two confused girls, the one with the biggest reaction in the car was surprisingly Mo Ke.

This was not strange, because among the people present, besides Lin Yun, only Mo Ke knew the meaning of this term.

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had no idea about this, Mo Ke immediately explained, "A lifelong Magical Girl means that because of special merits or deeds, she is allowed to stay in the material world forever. It's a very powerful proof!"

"Mom... she was a powerful Magical Girl?"

Lin Xiaolu choked and whispered, repeating Mo Ke's words, as if realizing something, she raised her head in shock, "Then, how did my mother die?"

As she asked, she recalled, and suddenly remembered another key point, staring straight at the driver's seat in front of her, as if she could see her father through the back of the chair:

"Did you tell me to 'forget her' because of this?"

This question hit the core of the issue. After her grief and longing had been released, she finally realized that her mother's death was not simple.

Lin Yun didn't speak.

His silence was not a refusal, but a contemplation.

His gaze drifted to the rearview mirror, meeting the reddened eyes of Lin Xiaolu. As their eyes met, he could see that although there was sorrow in his daughter's eyes, they were still clear.

So he spoke.

"...In these days of becoming a Magical Girl, you should have heard about how a Magical Girl's strength is determined, right?"

Lin Yun withdrew his gaze, staring blankly at the road ahead through the windshield, "Although I'm not very clear about the specific meaning, she had a title when she was alive."

His words paused slightly, but there was no noise from the back seat.

Whether it was Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, or Mo Ke, they were all attracted by his words, holding their breath and waiting quietly for the rest of his sentence.

Perhaps he should light a cigarette to set the mood at this moment.

Lin Yun had this thought out of nowhere, but he didn't have the habit of smoking, so he could only take a long breath, as if exhaling his own worries:

"It is said that in the latter part of her Magical Girl career, other Magical Girls all recognized her as the 'Strongest Flower Card'."
