Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Lin Xiaolu had been in a great mood these past few days.

It wasn't just because school was out and she didn't have to deal with more homework, but also because the intensity of her duties as a magical girl had decreased.

The decrease in workload was partly because the frequency of recent Remnant Beast attacks had further diminished, almost returning to the levels of a year ago, and partly because Lin Xiaolu herself had grown stronger, making dealing with the Remnant Beasts much easier now that she had her magic armor.

Thanks to this, she now had a bounty of personal time, which she hadn't had in a while, and even if she devoted a significant part to practicing as a magical girl, she still had plenty of leisure time to use.

However, at the root of it, these were not the main reasons for her improved mood.

On the fifth day of the holiday, as the New Year arrived methodically and the festive air gradually dissipated, people returned to their normal life pace, and the streets and alleys were once again bustling as usual.

In the morning, Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes tiredly amid the sound of her alarm clock.

Last night, two squads of new-generation magical girls, along with fairies, had gathered to play tabletop games all night, and nearly everyone had gone to bed in the early morning hours, so she was actually quite sleep-deprived now.

Yawning as she walked into the bathroom, she groped around the washstand for her towel, then soaked it with some cold water and "smack" threw it onto her face.

"Huh."

Feeling the cold touch of the towel on her face, even her nerves gradually revived with this sensation, Lin Xiaolu felt much better and slowly exhaled.

—"I see you're also tired, and you don't have to go to school today, so why did you get up so early?"

The voice of Moke came from the side.

It had also been a participant in last night's gathering, but since it was used to napping during the day, even though it had stayed up late with the magical girls last night, it didn't have a problem with lack of rest.

It had originally planned to hibernate as soon as dawn broke, but upon seeing Lin Xiaolu getting up, it had come to ask out of curiosity.

"Tired... Being tired doesn't matter."

Lin Xiaolu's muffled voice came from under the towel: "I have something very important to do next."

"What important thing?"

Moke tilted its head for a moment then suddenly realized: "Oh, isn't it about playing mobile games in the morning..."

—"Not at all!"

Lin Xiaolu pulled the towel from her face, glared at Moke: "Just for playing mobile games first thing in the early morning? What kind of person do you take me for?"

"You clearly played in the middle of the night during your final exams?"

"How many times have I told you, that was because the game had an event!"

Lin Xiaolu raised her finger, making a "quiet" gesture at her lips: "And don't speak so loudly, haven't I told you? Don't spread this sort of thing around."

"Who would bother spreading your little affairs every day."

Moke rolled its eyes: "If you say not to mention it, I won't mention it. I'm going to sleep now, lend me your alarm clock."

Even though it had its own room after moving to the base, since Moke didn't really have any personal belongings, it still spent most of its time sleeping in the rooms of the few squad members.

And since Bai Jingxuan also stayed at the base during the day, it spent more time in Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu's rooms, so seeking Lin Xiaolu's stuff to use had already become the norm.

"Go ahead, have it your way, just don't bother me." Lin Xiaolu was already accustomed to this pattern of behavior, not even providing a consenting or rejecting response, but just pushed her hand in a quite exasperated gesture.

Moke didn't say anything else, leisurely flapping its wings and flying out of the bathroom, but still muttered quietly as it left the doorway, and the sound reached Lin Xiaolu's ears.

Putting down her toothbrush, she squeezed half her body out of the doorway and yelled at the departing figure outside:

"Who are you calling stubborn? You, the lazy, good-for-nothing snack fairy!"

"I am lazy!" Moke turned back and made a face at her, then sped up and flew out of the corridor.

To this day, in the Bai An City squad, which had already grown quite familiar with the group from Fangting City, Moke, under the shadow of the two senior magical girls, Emerald Sparrow and Margaret, had long accepted its place.

—Although as a Seeder it still had its irreplaceable valuable role, in terms of leading and teaching the magical girl squad, it definitely didn't have as much experience as the two seniors.

Moreover, now that the magical girls in Fangting City were plentiful to the point of overflowing, the need to find new combatants had become irrelevant, so in the end, the only thing it could do was detect the locations of the Remnant Beast attacks.

And this ability was innate for a garden fairy, so even if it slept, it wouldn't affect its sensing of the Remnant Beasts, thereby making its everyday life incredibly lazy.

At first, it might have felt a bit guilty about this, but as time passed, that guilt had been cast aside, leaving nothing but a carefree existence.

Lin Xiaolu was aware of this mental journey, but ultimately couldn't totally see through it, so she tried to criticize Moke on this point, not realizing that the other party had long stopped being tricked by her.

But this didn't really affect her too much, because what she was about to do next was the real deal: breakfast.

Yes, staying up all night and still waking up early, such a strong-willed behavior was pursued for one simple reason: to have breakfast.
