Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

On one side heaven, on the other hell; this was the scene that met Emerald Sparrow's eyes, and no description could have been more apt.

"Hehe, I just knew it, teacher would come looking for me. Teacher really cares about me."

After showing off everything she had done, Bai Jingxuan seemed to still be quite excited. As she spoke, she suddenly reached out to hug Emerald Sparrow's arm and said happily, "That bad guy just now said I have no parents, that my mom and dad are fake, but I don't care at all. I have them now!"

"Right, teacher? You could be considered my mom now, couldn't you?"

As she rambled on to herself, she turned to the Remnant Beasts that was barely showing signs of life, and as if a naive little girl showing off, she said, "See, this is my mom! My mom came to save me. Do you have one? I'm making you so jealous!"

However, as she drew near, Emerald Sparrow could clearly sense that the Remnant Beasts probably couldn't hear Bai Jingxuan's words.

——It was already dead, its body was just lingering.

Perhaps Bai Jingxuan had killed it from the start and then simply engaged in pointless acts of venting her anger; or perhaps Bai Jingxuan's subsequent torture had slowly stripped away its life. Either way, the Remnant Beasts was thoroughly dead.

Emerald Sparrow looked at Bai Jingxuan once more, and saw that the girl, as if she had endless things to say, was still rattling on and on, explaining something and constantly seeking affirmation, as if hoping Emerald Sparrow would take a stand.

——She was uneasy, she was hoping to be praised.

Emerald Sparrow realized this.

She looked around in silence, observing the cruel yet merciful, the bloody yet holy scene. After a long stare and inner reflection, a sense of enlightenment arose within her.

She suddenly understood why, right after the Full Moon Festival battle concluded, Lin Xiaolu had said those words to her.

At that time, Lin Xiaolu was clearly afraid of the part of herself that had killed Mosi but still resolutely came over, took her hand, and said, "Let's go back."

Emerald Sparrow didn't know what drove Bai Jingxuan to do all this now, or if there was any element of imitation involved, but the scene before her was strikingly similar to herself back then.

With this realization, she also understood what she needed to do now.

Without saying much, she just approached Bai Jingxuan, slowly spread her arms, and suddenly embraced the girl who appeared to still be in an excited state.

Then, she reached out and gently patted the back of the girl's head.

"Let's go back," she said softly.

"Go back? Where?" The girl, suddenly embraced, was clearly confused and her questioning voice was filled with hollowness.

Although the girl was in Emerald Sparrow's arms, somehow she seemed insubstantial, as if she might at any moment turn into green smoke and drift away to the unknown.

This wasn't enough, she thought to herself.

Just like this didn't seem sufficient to bring back Bai Jingxuan – the girl she knew – she needed to do something more, to pull her away from the brink of losing control.

So, what more could she actually do?

The answer seemed to have become obvious.

"...Come back with mom."

Pursing her lips, Emerald Sparrow tried to make her voice even softer. She patted the girl's back, just ever so gently consoling her: "Let's go back to our secret base, let's go home."

"...Mom?"

"Yes."

"Is it really mom? Does teacher want to be my mom?"

"Yes, I do."

"Does mom want me to go back with her?"

"Mom wants you to come back with her."

Emerald Sparrow held Bai Jingxuan tightly, as if in fear that she would run away at any moment: "I will lead you, you follow me, shall we go back and find your sister, okay?"

After this sentence, there was endless silence.

In the silence, the girl in Emerald Sparrow's embrace slightly lifted her head, and her heterochromatic beastly eyes met Emerald Sparrow's gaze.

She watched Emerald Sparrow inexplicably, in silence. After a while, she suddenly smiled again, and the blackness in her sclera began to recede like an ebbing tide.

"Okay, mom."

As she said this, the blackness of her dress scattered like wilting flowers, and the disseminating black Magic Power quickly vanished into the air, flowing away to some unknown place.

The black dress turned white, and the white turned into her usual attire, and then the girl simply collapsed into Emerald Sparrow's embrace.

Looking down, Emerald Sparrow felt as if everything that had just happened was like an Illusionary Realm, leaving behind just an ordinary-looking little girl lying quietly in her arms.

Her face bore a relaxed and peaceful smile, snuggling up to Emerald Sparrow without any guard, sweetly, beautifully, and falling into a deep slumber.
