Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 553 - 114: Meeting Up

When Emerald Sparrow was selecting two sets of clothes on the commercial street, leaning against the counter waiting to pay, the vibration from the mobile phone in her sling bag caught her attention.

She opened her bag to check and found that it was Lin Yun’s phone that had received a message. Since there was no one else here who knew her, there was no risk of identity conflict, so Emerald Sparrow didn’t hesitate to take out the phone.

Upon opening the message page, she saw the top message from Lin Xiaolu:

[Lin Xiaolu: [Image] Today’s schedule, I heard that today is Valentine’s Day and you can give chocolates to someone you like, so I’m planning to try making chocolates.]

Holding the phone, Emerald Sparrow’s hand paused for a moment, her gaze slightly hardened, almost sharp, as she quickly typed out "Who are you planning to give them to" on the screen. But after that, she stared at the expression pack options for a long time before making her final choice:

[Who are you planning to give them to? [Grinning]]

To avoid making her question seem confrontational, she decided to add a smiling face. And in her view, the [Smile] might seem a bit insincere, which is why she chose this wide-grinning expression.

It’s not that she suspected her own daughter, in fact, after nearly half a year of living under a disguised identity, she was sure that Lin Xiaolu did not have any tendencies of premature love. However, now that they were in the Magic Kingdom, in this society where everything aligned with magic levels, the identity of a Magical Girl was even more attractive to the locals than in the Material Realm, and it was hard to guarantee that the opposite sex wouldn’t try to strike up a conversation with the youngsters.

The three youngsters, especially Lin Xiaolu are still just children, and although they are definitely not of the age to be dating, it’s also hard to say they wouldn’t be deceived by the sweet talk of bad people. So in this regard, Emerald Sparrow wasn’t overly strict, but definitely very cautious.

[To Emerald Sparrow!]

Fortunately, Lin Xiaolu’s reply was straightforward, directly dispelling Emerald Sparrow’s unnecessary thoughts.

Oh, then it’s nothing.

Feeling relieved, Emerald Sparrow also relaxed her tense attitude.

She deleted the unnecessary "advice" that had already been typed in the input bar, casually chatted with Lin Xiaolu for a bit as Lin Yun, and encouraged her daughter a few times. This conversation was ultimately interrupted by the clothing store clerk, simply because the checkout process that Emerald Sparrow had been waiting for was now complete.

"Miss, your order has been completed!"

The clerk said this, passing over a handbag containing the clothes, inside were the small-sized casual outfits that Emerald Sparrow had previously chosen.

Thanks to the higher base number of Magical Girls in the Magic Kingdom, clothing stores here generally carry smaller standard sizes compared to the Material Realm, so Emerald Sparrow can finally choose two proper outfits, instead of just buying children’s clothing.

The reason she mentioned two outfits was because one of the outfits was already on Emerald Sparrow: a beige double-breasted jacket that ended mid-thigh, and pure white slim-fit trousers paired with coffee-colored platform loafers.

Moreover, her current hairstyle was not long hair, but the bun befitting Long Dan. Together, these gave Emerald Sparrow an aura of professional competence, preventing others from mistaking her for a child.

After getting herself a decent look, Emerald Sparrow’s next plan was naturally to meet with Mo He. However, when she reserved a Fairy Carriage online and arrived at the meeting place an hour early, she found that Mo He was already waiting there.

Unexpectedly, Mo He was surrounded by several Sheriffs at the time.

"I’m sorry, this is a temporary security inspection; here’s my ID, could you take out all your personal items? I assure you, this inspection won’t take much of your time," the leading Sheriff said.

"Eh? Why? Can you not do it?"

Mo He showed a considerable degree of resistance and confusion.

After all, from her own perspective, she hadn’t done anything wrong, just standing in the same spot waiting for someone. She had come to the street corner early to meet someone, and to not block the passage of pedestrians along the way, she had deliberately retreated to the side alley, only showing her head to check if her "Captain" had arrived. But she didn’t understand why, suddenly, someone brought the Sheriffs here, pointing at her saying "it’s her," and that led to the current situation.

"I’m sorry, but there have been reports from nearby residents that your demeanor is suspicious and unsettling."

The Sheriff refused Mo He emotionlessly, standing in front of his two tense colleagues, earnestly saying, "We also don’t want to escalate conflicts, so please cooperate."

"Suspicious?"

Mo He pointed at herself, raised her head, the ribbon behind her head also shaking a bit. Unfortunately, this action made the Sheriffs more cautious, even one of them had already reached behind and held his baton.

"Please remain standing, undergo the inspection, and stop moving!" the leading Sheriff raised his voice, sternly warning.

"...I didn’t do anything." Mo He could only raise her hands.

Just as the situation grew increasingly tense, almost escalating into a conflict, Emerald Sparrow finally arrived. She stood at a distance she deemed sufficient and said in relatively clear terms to the Sheriffs, "Excuse me, may I interrupt for a moment? I know this person."

Her voice immediately attracted the attention of several Sheriffs, prompting one of them to look towards her: "What?"

"I mean, this person is my friend. We had agreed to meet here to go shopping together," she said.

Emerald Sparrow stood still and continued, "It’s just that she is a bit introverted and feels uncomfortable in crowded places, so she might behave a little oddly."

"...Are you sure?"

This testimony, coupled with Emerald Sparrow’s present respectable and efficient appearance, made the Sheriffs exchange glances, somewhat relaxing their stance: "Miss, we need to verify the credibility of your statements."

"I can show my identification."

Emerald Sparrow said calmly, "If you allow me to come closer, I can also provide more explanations, just because I don’t want too many people to hear what I’m going to say next."

"Alright," the leading Sheriff agreed to her request.

Thus, Emerald Sparrow stepped forward to show her identification, and then spoke in a low voice, inaudible to the bystanders, to the Sheriffs. Whatever she said seemed to have some magical power, visibly putting them at ease.

Not only that, their gaze towards Mo He shifted from cautious to respectful with a hint of sympathy, and the leading Sheriff even specifically turned back to Mo He and said, "Sorry."

Afterwards, the Sheriffs walked away.

"Captain, that was impressive."

As soon as they left, Mo He couldn’t help but express her admiration: "No matter what the situation, you always seem to be able to rescue me."

"That’s because if you just behaved normally, these ’crises’ wouldn’t exist in the first place..."

Emerald Sparrow sighed somewhat helplessly, "I thought what happened yesterday was just an accident; how do you find trouble every day?"

"I don’t know either."

Mo He tilted her head, equally puzzled. "But what did you tell them just now? Why did they even apologize to me?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Um, I’m a bit curious," said Mo He, nodding.

"To resolve the situation quickly, I told them you are a Magical Girl and a veteran of the war between two realms, so your personality was affected by your experiences in the war."

Emerald Sparrow glanced at her, "Of course, I said those things to resolve the situation quickly. Though there is some truth, it might not completely reflect your current condition, sorry."

She felt that it wasn’t right to concoct fictional tales about someone in front of others, so even if it was for resolving the issue, an apology afterward was indeed necessary.

"So that’s it, deserving of a Captain."

However, Mo He seemed utterly unconcerned by this, clearly not finding any issue with Emerald Sparrow’s approach.

Furthermore, her previously expressionless face even gained a mysterious glow, as if her mood had been slightly uplifted:

"Even now, you still manage to see right through me so effortlessly."
