Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"Oh, that."

The fairy doll slightly leaned back: "Actually, it's quite simple, it's still about the artificial body. To achieve the best fit, we will create her body to imitate Chaoyan's true appearance, but as you know, her actual age and appearance differ from her true appearance by nearly twenty years. To make the spare body match the original, some additional adjustment costs might be needed."

"'Additional costs,' you mean you're still going to charge money?" Emerald Sparrow immediately understood her meaning.

"We'll charge, but it can be completely covered by the trade with the Origin of Beasts."

The fairy doll shook her head: "Mainly, Chaoyan has put forward another suggestion."

"...What suggestion?" Emerald Sparrow turned to look at Hong Siyu once again.

"I mean, why not save some cost."

Hong Siyu started to fiddle with her notebook again: "I think, without adjusting, we can just use the true appearance as the spare body..."

"Returning to a normal working life, it's not necessary to skimp on this kind of cost."

After considering for a moment, Emerald Sparrow seriously suggested: "Since the Chief promised no additional fees are required, you don't actually need to worry about this issue."

"It's not really about the cost."

Hong Siyu's voice grew softer: "I mean, I kind of hope to still look like my true self after I change back."

Emerald Sparrow then understood her meaning.

Indeed, it wasn't hard to understand because other Magical Girls had expressed similar desires throughout history.

The older one gets, and as the true form begins to enter the phase known as 'aging,' it becomes harder to let go of the youthful appearance of the true form.

The true form of a Magical Girl, though not necessarily the age at which a Magical Girl is in her prime, is always full of youthful vigor and vitality. Even women in their thirties and forties have their own charm, but most women ultimately prefer to remain eternally young, and Magical Girls are no exception.

In fact, there is a segment of Magical Girls who join the Magic Kingdom for this somewhat whimsical reason; they simply can't accept the fact that they will age gradually after retirement and choose to live forever as Magical Girls.

Although Hong Siyu wasn't that obsessed, it was understandable that she wanted her appearance to seem younger...right?

Thinking this far, Emerald Sparrow saw Hong Siyu glance at her with a somewhat strange look in her eyes, which made her somewhat uncertain of her own answer again.

"It's not like it's impossible."

So she nodded, expressing her opinion: "Only, if the spare body is going to look like your sixteen-year-old self, do you still plan to return to work at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau?"

"I want to go back." After a while, Hong Siyu spoke slowly.

"...Are you planning to work looking like you do now?"

"You promised me, senior."

Hong Siyu spoke calmly: "I'm back, let me be your secretary."

"I did promise, that's true."

Emerald Sparrow swallowed inexplicably: "But you being 16 years old and serving as my secretary at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, isn't that a bit..."

It was then she realized why these two had called her using the magic mirror on the way there.

It turns out all the earlier talk was just a prelude, merely background information. The real issue she had to accept and decide upon was never about whether Hong Siyu should get a spare body but "whether Lin Yun, the director of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, should employ a secretary who looks to be only 16 years old."

"...That won't work." She almost instinctively denied it.

"I think it's pretty good, a 16-year-old high school girl as the director's secretary."

Molu, who was leisurely speaking on the side, ignored Emerald Sparrow's rolling eyes: "It's perfect, don't you often transform into a Magical Girl? Just use how you look now to be the director, a grade-school director and a high school secretary. With you two as a pair, I believe the employees' motivation at the Abnormal Strategy Bureau will surely increase quite a bit."

"The Abnormal Strategy Bureau needs direction in their tasks, not a fanciful idol."

Emerald Sparrow looked at her coolly, rejecting the unreliable suggestion without any politeness: "Even setting aside the fact that I wouldn't mind a few more rumors about me in the Bureau, what about Hong Siyu's identity? She can't just go back to work under her original name, can she?"

"That's simple."

The fairy doll gently closed her paws: "A resume is easy to make up. Just say she's 'Hong Siyu's niece,' who, due to her aunt's injury, voluntarily transferred from Tiandu City to take over her aunt's job. If her youthful appearance raises questions, just put 25 years old on the résumé, and no matter what anyone asks, she's 25."

Now Emerald Sparrow was utterly speechless.

"Alright, if you have no objections, then lie down. We've almost settled Chaoyan's issue, and you still have significant problems of your own. We need to do several more physiotherapy sessions to stabilize your injuries." Molu urged, patting the treatment bed: "Hurry up, I need to go study the Origin of Beasts next."

Of course, as it turned out, the previous treatment's "need to undress" was a pure lie; such treatment didn't need to be conducted naked. As a result, Emerald Sparrow hardly needed to prepare much, simply needed to lie down on the treatment bed, her consciousness faded for a while, and the entire process was completed.
