Xizhao Middle School in Fangting City, on the third floor of the main teaching building, Lin Xiaolu looked at the hung up call in a daze, and after a pause of a few seconds, he lowered his arm and put down his mobile phone. She looked at the window of the hallway, and it was drizzling outside, and on this boundless rainy day, she was in a low mood.

Maybe it shouldn't be said to be low, she felt lost.

Delphinium said to her, "Don't use it", and it was really out of good intentions. She doesn't want Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang to be in danger, and she doesn't want the two of them to miss the important parent-teacher meeting.

It's just that even though Delphinium has no other thoughts, this passage can be interpreted in another way, the so-called "don't use", in fact, it is also "it's useless for you to come".

There is no contempt or disparagement in this, it is just a statement of one fact: in the eyes of the delphinium, the current two newcomers are fragile and in need of protection, and they are completely unable to form a usable combat power.

When faced with the remnant beasts of the beetle rank, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, who were just at the seed level, could not play any role. Even if they have gone through nearly a month of study and exercise, I am afraid that they will only become a burden when facing beetles.

Nominally, Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu, and Xia Liang are magical girl "companions", but in fact, the two newcomers can't keep up with her pace at all and can't walk to her side.

Fangting City is now in crisis, and Delphinium can still only fight alone.

So, is it really good to just follow it step by step?

Lin Xiaolu thought so.

Being protected, cared for, and taught by such seniors, she will indeed feel at ease. Maybe it's really like now, pushing all the dangerous things to Delphinium, and improving her strength in the next step of her plan, so that she can become a skilled magical girl naturally, right?

There will be no risks, no obstacles, all it takes is time, effort and talent.

Such a growth route sounds so reasonable, safe, and rational. As every good teacher will do, do your best to arrange the safest path for your juniors.

But since I can understand it, where does this sense of loss come from?

She couldn't figure it out.

"Are you alright? Xiaolu. ”

Mo who was lying on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder saw that she was depressed and asked with some concern.

Lin Xiaolu just shook her head.

The time for the parent-teacher conference is gradually approaching, and most of the classes have already finished their classes for today. Students emerge from their classrooms and walk down the hallways to the outside of the school building, ready to welcome their parents.

Therefore, the number of people in the corridor gradually increased, and the flow of people passing by became more and more dense, and Lin Xiaolu couldn't talk to Moco at this time.

She put her phone back in her pocket, patted her cheeks with both hands to remind herself to regroup, and returned her attention to the upcoming parent-teacher conference, before turning and walking towards the classroom.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and she had to go back and get her umbrella.

After passing the almost empty classroom, Lin Xiaolu took out her schoolbag from her desk, took out her umbrella, and when she walked out of the classroom door again, she happened to see a familiar figure:

It's summer cool.

"Xiao Liang!"

Mo Ke, who was still worried about Lin Xiaolu, defected on the spot, jumped off his shoulder, and threw himself into Xia Liang's arms before she could react, leaving Lin Xiaolu to watch the interaction of one person and one demon on the spot with an unhappy face.

However, this is a school, full of ordinary people who can't see goblins, and if you interact too much with Moko, you will inevitably be treated as a weirdo dancing in the air by the other students. So Xia Liang also knew how to be measured, and he let go of his hand just by touching Moke, so as not to make his behavior look weird.

"How?"

After putting down Moke, she looked at Lin Xiaolu with a smile: "Is your dad coming soon?" ”

"How would I know that man's movements?"

Lin Xiaolu looked displeased: "Maybe I won't come." ”

"And you still got an umbrella?"

“…… Anyway, there's nothing else to do, go to the school gate and have a look. ”

"Poof." Xia Liang covered his mouth and snickered.

"You're so annoying!"

Lin Xiaolu said embarrassedly: "If there is nothing else, go back to your own class!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this."

After calming Lin Xiaolu like a child, Xia Liang slightly restrained his expression: "I just wanted to ask, the message you sent just now, the remnant beast that appeared on the light rail tram ......"

"The delphinium is gone."

Lin Xiaolu's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied somewhat briefly: "Alone." ”

“…… Yes, again. Xia Liang blinked a little stunned, and soon, he understood what she meant.

Compared with Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang is more sensitive to human feelings. So she realized what Delphinium had done earlier and understood it more clearly.

She knew what Delphinium was going there alone for.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Xia Liang regained his mood and comforted Lin Xiaolu with a smile: "But this is also something that can't be helped, since it's all like this, then let's face the parent-teacher meeting well." ”

“…… Well. ”

Lin Xiaolu nodded with a complicated look in his eyes: "I know, it's useless to just worry." ”

After such a greeting, Xia Liang waved goodbye to Lin Xiaolu and walked towards the other end of the teaching building, while Lin Xiaolu took her umbrella and continued to the gate of the school.

As the parent-teacher conference approached, a crowd of people had gathered at the school gate, where students met their parents and led them to their classes.

Lin Xiaolu held up an umbrella, dodged the puddle on the ground, and jumped to the gate in three steps.

She stood on tiptoe, looked left and right, trying to find Lin Yun's figure in the crowd, but the crowd was crowded, and it was really difficult to see with her size.

After a lot of useless work, she also realized that this would not be effective, so she settled down on her heels and regained her footing, ready to find a place with less crowds, stand there and wait.

After all, with her height, it is somewhat difficult to find someone in the crowd, but with Lin Yun's physique, it is not difficult to cross the barrier and find her daughter.

What she should do is make herself easier to find.

Lin Xiaolu held an umbrella, found a corner where no one was on the edge of the flower bed at the school gate, and after confirming that he could see this place from the door, he stood here and quietly began to wait.

The flow of people at the school gate is getting more and more dense, more classes are out of class, and some students are waiting in the teaching building, but more are still coming to the school gate to greet - after all, this parent-teacher meeting will also announce the final exam transcript, and it is always right to behave well first when you don't know if you have failed in the exam.

Lin Xiaolu doesn't care about her report card, she didn't like to study before, and after becoming a magical girl, she only regarded studying as a hard task. Although he knew that his grades would definitely not be very good, it was tantamount to a fantasy to want her to please Lin Yun for this kind of thing.

She came to the school gate just to come and see.
