Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"If you look only at appearances, it truly is like a fairy tale."

Hong Siyu shook her finger again, "But unfortunately, the Magic Kingdom is not just a fairy tale. Just the management of the vast team of Magical Girls in the physical realm requires a lot of manpower, not to mention governing the civilians living within the kingdom. A structured administrative body is indispensable."

"In that case, the role of a Magical Girl seems to carry a heavier meaning..."

Lin Xiaolu appeared somewhat downcast, "It feels like what the public sees as a mysterious and powerful hero, in reality, still can\'t escape the mundane powers of the world."

"That\'s precisely because Magical Girls are still \'human\' and not transcended symbols."

Her words were filled with child-like wishfulness, but it caused Hong Siyu to sigh softly, "Because they still have attachments, desires, and connections with others, the world of Magical Girls is also full of complex human relationships."

"So that\'s why there are Evil Magical Girls?" Xia Liang followed up with a question.

"Yes, that\'s why there are the evil ones..."

Hong Siyu was about to continue in that vein, but she stopped upon realizing what she was about to say, wearing a puzzled expression, "Who told you about this?"

Xia Liang looked toward Lin Xiaolu, who frowned openly, "My contact told me, what about it?"

"Ah, then I probably guess what happened."

Her confusion resolved, Hong Siyu nodded with sudden realization and then continued, "Well then, I\'ll speak freely, the existence of Evil Magical Girls is indeed because of this. Just as in our physical world, there are good citizens and criminals, you can\'t ensure that everyone\'s character is kind-hearted."

"But doesn\'t the Seeder choose Magical Girls based on whether their hearts are pure?" Lin Xiaolu glanced at Moke.

"To be precise, the Seeder only looks at whether you have Magic Power and a natural talent in the soul," Hong Siyu spread her hands.

——"I can\'t see that kind of thing you talk about, it\'s the Seed of Heart that judges your innermost desires."

Moke also interjected, "However, for children filled with dark thoughts in their hearts, the Seed of Heart should not react."

"Even if one\'s heart is truly kind at the time of being chosen, a Magical Girl\'s term is a full ten years; no one knows if their mentality might change during this period."

Hong Siyu looked at the two girls in front of her, her tone flippant, "You see, just like me, ten years ago I would never have imagined I\'d still be single now."

No one responded to her.

The example she brought up was so sensitive and painful that both girls fell silent for a moment.

"Eh, aren\'t you going to laugh a bit? I thought I was using quite an embarrassing story for a joke," Hong Siyu appeared a bit surprised.

"Well, laughing at something like that seems a bit..." Lin Xiaolu turned away her face.

"If you\'ve been retired for ten years, then this year you must be..." Xia Liang also showed a slightly sympathetic smile.

"Don\'t be like that; your reactions are making me feel embarrassed!"

Hong Siyu couldn\'t help but slap the sofa, "Alright, forget it! I shouldn\'t have made that kind of joke! Back to the main topic! Let\'s continue talking about the Evil Magical Girls!"

"Listen carefully! Since the beginning, whenever a Magical Girl violates regulations and discipline, the Magical Affairs Institute would dispatch a specialized investigation team to gather evidence, and then arrest the offending Magical Girl."

"In addition to that, if a criminal with magical affinity other than Magical Girls, such as a Magician, causes significant and severe trouble, the Institute will also deploy to investigate and capture them."

"You can think of the Magical Affairs Institute as the police of the magic side. From the lowest level Magicians to the highest level Magical Girls, and even Flower Card Girls, as long as they break the rules, they will become the targets of investigation and arrest."

"And the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, which we are part of, deals most with the Magical Affairs Institute and even could be said to be a subsidiary organ of these two major institutes when it involves matters of Magical Girls."

"As for the Inspector, they are special agents of the Magical Affairs Institute tasked with investigating extremely serious criminal cases. Since the threshold for becoming an Inspector is basically Flower Card status, there are only a few, and generally speaking, if they take action, it means something big has happened."

Having said this, Hong Siyu reached for the tea that Xia Liang had brought over, "Now you know, don\'t you? Just what kind of a big shot this Inspector, Emerald Sparrow, is."

The lengthy talk made her feel a bit thirsty, so she brought her lips to the cup, intending to drink the tea to moisten her throat.

"So, in fact, she counts as one of your direct superiors?" It was at this moment that Xia Liang asked innocently.

"Pfft——cough cough cough!"

The tea she had just sipped sprayed out as Hong Siyu coughed violently, "How could you... come to that conclusion?"

"Well, you see, the Inspector is a big shot in the Magical Affairs Institute, right? And you said the Abnormal Strategy Bureau is sort of subordinate to the Institute, so doesn\'t that make the Inspector your superior too?" Xia Liang counted on her fingers, earnestly sorting out the logic, "Or is it that they are too high-ranking to actually manage?"

"Cough, to be precise, an Inspector does not manage affairs, they are only responsible for investigating cases."

Pulling out two tissues, Hong Siyu wiped her mouth as she explained to Xia Liang, "Although they have great power and the Abnormal Strategy Bureau must cooperate with them as much as possible during an investigation, they generally do not, nor do they have the obligation to interfere with the operation of the Bureau."

"Of course, based on this, Emerald Sparrow\'s status and situation as an Inspector are even more special, which is why she can stay in one place and leisurely serve as your enlightenment tutor."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaolu seemed to recall something and stared at Moke, who was feigning ignorance and even whistling to appear nonchalant.

"You are now under the protection of Emerald Sparrow, so you can avoid dangerous matters, and not deal with the complexities of the Magic Kingdom and real interpersonal relationships. Concentrate on your studies. But you should also be prepared, such a life won\'t last long."

In the end, that is how Hong Siyu concluded.

From her understanding of Lin Yun, with his utterly stubborn temperament, he must be like a silent gourd, never willing to talk about these things openly.

He would think that such matters are not suitable for children to understand too early, so he would explain nothing, just keep everything to himself, ponder alone, and bear it alone.

Since his return using the codename "Emerald Sparrow," many of his actions clearly had deep intentions. Yet even Hong Siyu, who had once been his comrade, couldn\'t completely figure them out.

The reason she had said so much upon her arrival today, even discussing things that might be too complicated for children, was actually to encourage them to know and understand more, then take the initiative to go to Emerald Sparrow for further information.

Her final words clearly left an impression on the two children, who showed different expressions.

Lin Xiaolu\'s emotions were quite transparent; just by looking at her expressions, one could clearly feel her reluctance about the idea that "Emerald Sparrow would leave"; Xia Liang had better control over her expressions but her face also showed a thoughtful look.

The clock on the living room wall moved silently, passing the half-past eleven mark, inching toward the twelve that represented noon.

——"Speaking of which, Sister, I have one more question."

After some reflection, Xia Liang suddenly asked, "Since you say the Inspector doesn\'t actually manage things, then who in the Magical Affairs Institute is actually responsible for deploying Magical Girls?"
