Chapter 20: Do You Want to Be a Magical Girl?
Listening to the sound of frolicking in the distance, Futaba lazily lay on the swimming ring and took a nap.
Although she doesn't like this kind of water activity, she can't deny that it is indeed very comfortable to soak in the cool pool under the scorching sun.
It's just that her quiet and unsociable behavior has attracted the attention of people with a heart.
A gentle stroke sounded in her ears, followed by a thrust on her swimming ring, turning the float into drifting.
"Don't make a fuss!"
Futaba opened her eyes slightly, and glared at Zhuyin, who was pushing her swimming ring: "Even you came to bully me?" ”
"Hey~I'm here to play with you~" said, Zhuyin pointed to the water house and water slide not far away: "Let's go play with that, right?" ”
"Don't~!"
"If you're afraid of choking on water, I can protect you."
"......" Futaba hesitated slightly for a while and then shook his head: "Don't do it, I practiced for a night last night, and I want to rest now." ”
"But I'd love to play with you~"
Listening to the voice with a hint of coquettishness, Futaba looked at the 'daughter' with some surprise, and then sighed helplessly: "If you let me choke on water, then I will ignore you." ”
"Hey~Don't underestimate those with spatial ability~"
As the words fell, Takene quickly took Futaba to the water house and came to the entrance of the water slide.
However, just as the two were about to jump, another figure climbed up and appeared behind them.
The organizer of this event, Du Hao...... Ah no, it's Du Xiaolu.
And when Xiaolu saw Futaba who looked like a waste meow all morning, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a smile: "Great, Sister Futaba is finally here to play?" I thought you didn't look down on my small water park~"
It's not rhetoric, it's not sarcasm, it's the heartfelt words of this damn rich man.
Futaba felt this clearly, so the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she said with a dry smile: "If your water park is small, then most of the water parks in this world should also go out of business." ”
The so-called 'small' water park is actually not small at all, with all kinds of facilities, especially this water slide with a height of 20 meters and a slide length of about 60 meters.
"Huh? This is only 20 meters high, aren't all of you capable people who can fly up to the stratosphere at every turn? It should be easy to build a water slide that slides down from the clouds, right? ”
“……”
This natural tone made Futaba and Takene fall silent for an instant, after all, this kind of brain circuit was the first time they had seen it.
It wasn't until a long moment later that Futaba rubbed his brows and explained, "It's a good idea, but someone who can fly so high won't do this kind of work, and even if we're willing to do it, we can't afford it." ”
"Are the labor costs demanding?" The fawn asked with some eagerness.
"Those people can't be impressed with money."
Futaba shook her head speechlessly, and then she seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on her face again: "But after a while, we can try to build one ourselves." ”
"Huh?"
"In fact, we have recently developed a new equipment that can make it possible for some ordinary people to gain the ability to fly~"
“!” Takene suddenly looked at Futaba with a stunned expression, she didn't understand why her mother would suddenly tell such a secret to an ordinary person, but she didn't say anything, just listened quietly on the side.
Although she is a 'future person', she is actually not familiar with Du Xiaolu, because in the future where she is, Xiaoyi skipped to high school very early, and these elementary school classmates naturally did not appear in her life.
But for Futaba, she is extremely trusting, because she knows very well that her mother has her own considerations before doing everything.
So, she's saying that with some kind of purpose in mind, right?
"Really?" Xiaolu's eyes lit up instantly, but then her expression became a little hesitant: "Isn't it okay to tell me these things?" ”
"Ahaha~ It doesn't matter if it's a little bit of a thing, and I'm telling you this because I want to ask you about something."
As he spoke, a subtle smile suddenly appeared on Futaba's face and he said, "Xiaolu, do you want to be a magical girl?" ”
Magical Girl!?
Du Xiaolu's eyes were slightly condensed, although she was only 12 years old, her IQ and experience were not comparable to children of this age, so she understood the meaning of Futaba in an instant.
This is to ask her if she wants to enter the circle of the able.
"I ......"
The fawn opened her mouth, and she wanted to agree immediately, but .......
Seeing her hesitant expression, Futaba nodded appreciatively and said, "Think about it first, and come to me when you have a decision." ”
After saying that, she hugged Zhuyin and jumped down to the entrance of the water slide.
Very chic, just......
"Ahh Bamboo sound ...... Bamboo sound! Choked! I'm choking! ……”
Listening to the panicked sound coming back from the slide, Xiaolu immediately laughed, and she found that the people around Xiaoyi seemed to be very interesting.
So, the circle of the capable is not exactly as cold-blooded and cruel as my grandfather said, right?
……
……
Puff ——!
After paddling out of the slide and into the water, Futaba looked at the water that surrounded him in disbelief, and a shield that kept it out.
"Don't worry, you won't choke." Zhuyin looked at this childish mother with some amusement.
“…… Well. After seeing that he was safe, Futaba calmed down slightly, and then grabbed Zhuyin and floated to the surface.
At this time, Zhuyin also asked the question he wanted to ask just now: "Have you told Xiaoyi about pulling Xiaolu into the gang?" ”
"No, it's an impromptu decision."
“…… Aren't you afraid that Xiaoyi will scratch you again? Zhuyin asked speechlessly, she knew very well how badly Futaba was tossed by Xiaoyi last time.
"Hey~ don't worry, she won't have an opinion on this matter."
"Huh? Why? ”
"After the magic guide energy is produced, it's time for us to start disclosing the affairs of the capable to ordinary people."
Hearing this, Zhuyin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Is it for the sake of 'judgment'?" ”
"That's right, whether we want to or not, ordinary people will also know about the existence of our people, so instead of falling into passivity at that time, it is better to start popularizing it step by step now." Futaba said with a smile.
"Hmm." Zhuyin nodded in understanding, and then asked again, "There shouldn't be any energy production yet, right?" And why should you choose a fawn? ”
"To be precise, the fawn is just one of the objects I choose. I'm going to do a test to see if the average person's adaptability to the world of the capable meets my expectations, which will determine how we adopt it in the future. ”
Saying that, Futaba laughed slightly and said: "Of course, it is also my selfishness to choose Xiaolu, because she is a friend of Xiaoyi and Xiaoye, and this kind of rich person is too easy to be targeted, so it is not a bad thing for her to gain the ability to protect herself as soon as possible." ”
“…… It's better to talk to Xiao Yi for a while. ”
"Don't worry, as long as you don't step on thunder, that kid won't just use the power of the Sage to bully people." Futaba smiled nonchalantly.
"Hmm." Takene nodded, then looked at the slide behind him again, and asked Futaba with a smile, "Shall we change another one and do it again?" ”
"Don't do it!"
"Huh? Then do you go back and continue to be in a daze? ”
"Nope."
Futaba shook his head slightly, and then his eyes fell on the few barbecue grills that had just been placed on the shore: "I heard that there are excellent ingredients today, so I'm going to get some food, and I'll let the yarn express line deliver it to Brother Su Mu, who was excluded, and Wang Jiang, who is working in the field." ”
Hearing this, Zhuyin was slightly stunned, and then chuckled. The so-called 'good wife and good mother' is talking about the girl in front of her, right?
"Then let the Zhuyin Express Line send you ashore first~"
