Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Lin Yun witnessed the "Magical Girl" mentioned by the staff within the surveillance of the interrogation room. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

In a small room made of special glass, a girl in ragged clothes, still wearing handcuffs, sat leaning against the wall. Despite being in a tight spot, her face showed no sign of nervousness.

She really seems like a Magical Girl, Lin Yun mused to himself.

The reason he believed in this notion, thinking she truly was a Magical Girl, was because he didn't just see a girl; there was also a Fairy present.

"What on earth are you doing! Are you an idiot? How could you even get the cash wrong!"

The Fairy wasn't trying to hide anything and was presently shouting at the girl with great agitation, "Now we're totally doomed! No place to stay! No place to take a bath! We're about to end up in a shelter!"

"As I said, training knows no years; changes in the world after coming out of seclusion are inevitable," the girl in the tattered Taoist robe said leisurely, "Times change, the world is impermanent, it's all part of gaining experience."

"What experience! The kind of experience you get from being locked up? I should never have agreed to come out with you. I should have refused from the start!"

The Fairy, with its tail erect, was clearly very emotional, and indignantly said, "Has your brain been turned into muscle from all that martial arts training? Why didn't you resist at all when faced with a bunch of ordinary people and just got captured so easily? What if someone uses Magic-Sealing Arts on us later? Then we'd be completely like fish on a chopping board!"

"The Magic-Sealing Arts of the weak cannot restrain the strong, don't worry. Besides, we only had a meal without paying; we didn't hurt anyone, so why make such a fuss?"

The girl leaned against the wall, squinting her eyes: "As for going along quietly... I dislike bullying the weak. These officers are just following orders, and since they have no malice towards us, there's no need for violence. If we stay cooperative and explain the situation, I'm sure they won't give us a hard time."

"Aren't you forgetting that we've come to Fangting City to cause trouble, and we're actually the bad guys?" the Fairy said, suddenly growing quieter.

"But we haven't done anything bad yet, have we?"

The girl remained nonchalant: "How can there be guilt for things yet unborn?"

"What will you do when they ask for the number on your identification card?"

"I'll give them my old code number."

Still poised, the girl said, "After all, that code is genuinely mine, and they won't be able to tell if it's real or fake right away."

"But what if they contact the state and find out that the code actually belongs to a traitor? Then we'll be completely exposed!"

The Fairy, tail erect, spoke irritably: "Then our cover is completely blown!"

Through the surveillance, Lin Yun observed their conversation, which resembled a comedic dialogue. His formerly calm expression became somewhat peculiar, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react.

The amount of information in the dialogue between the girl and the Fairy was simply too great, so much so that even listening to this short snippet, he was able to deduce where they came from—they must be from Claw Mark.

However, the manner of their conversation seemed too defenseless, as if completely unaware that there were surveillance cameras in the interrogation room, chatting away as if no one else was present, which made Lin Yun doubt the authenticity of their conversation.

Setting aside anything else, their story was already strange enough. It was quite astounding for a Magical Girl to dine and dash, then get captured willingly after causing trouble. Even after being arrested, she still appeared utterly unconcerned.

Was what they discussed the truth? If it was, and the Magical Girl came from Claw Mark, what was her purpose in coming here? Why would she be willing to get caught by the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, and could this be a trap?

If it was a lie, then it became even more thought-provoking. What would be the point for a Magical Girl and a Fairy to come to the Abnormal Strategy Bureau pretending to be from Claw Mark? Was there a deeper scheme behind it?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yun decided he needed to meet them in person.

Since they had shown up on his doorstep, whether by plot or coincidence, he felt he had no reason to ignore them. If it were a scheme, it couldn't be avoided, and if it were a coincidence, there was no need to evade it. He might as well try to see if he could extract more information from them.

Leaving the monitoring room, Lin Yun headed to the designated interrogation room guided by the staff. After instructing them to wait outside, he walked in alone.

Before him was a scene identical to the one seen on the monitor—the ragged-looking Magical Girl and the Black Cat Fairy both turned their heads to look at him as he entered.

"Good day to you both, I am the chief of the local Abnormal Strategy Bureau, my surname is Lin."

He maintained basic courtesy and introduced himself, then began to inquire, "I've heard from the staff about a disturbance, and the persons involved seem to be a Magical Girl, who I presume must be this young lady accompanied by a Fairy. We're grateful that you two did not use force against the staff. If there was any mishandling on their part, I would like to hear about it, and I'll try to provide you with a satisfactory answer."

Unlike usual, he didn't pretend to be an ordinary person and ignore the existence of the Black Cat Fairy. As he currently identified himself as the chief of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, in theory, he should have encountered magic and the supernatural, or at least have had some training experience as a Magician, so being able to see the Fairy seemed more normal.

"However, frankly speaking, you don't seem to be a Magical Girl and Fairy registered here locally. May I ask if you've come from another city?"

Feigning ignorance, Lin Yun said, "I'm not sure what brings you both to Fangting City? If it falls outside of state secrets, perhaps you could inform us, to help the Abnormal Strategy Bureau offer some assistance and clear up any misunderstanding."
