Chapter 61: Old Photos
Lin Xiaolu pinched the frame of the phone, and her fingers unconsciously forced.
She could see that the magical girl in the cherry pink tutu in the photo was smiling with the others, and with some inexplicable feelings, she hugged the blue-haired magical girl next to her.
The two people who should not have intersected at all in their cognition stood intimately in this photo like this, making Lin Xiaolu subconsciously open and close her lips, but she couldn't speak.
Is that so? She was tempted to ask again.
But if she had any doubts in her heart before, the moment she saw this scene, it did disappear.
yes, that's how it should be.
the many unusual things about his mother's life; Why was her father taboo when she died? Why does the mysterious magical girl Delphinium take special care of herself...... The reason for all this falls on the answer "Mother is a magical girl".
It's like an unbreakable lock that has found its original key, and it just turns it lightly and opens in response.
In the past, she never thought that her mother would have anything to do with the identity of "magical girl". In her memory, her mom was a strange housewife who always liked to insist that she was a freelancer.
She has an optimistic personality and can even be said to be off-line, usually lazy and sloppy in doing things, and sometimes more naΓ―ve than herself. But she is a good mother who really loves herself and spoils herself.
She can remember snuggling up in her mother's arms and watching a magical girl anime on TV; She hasn't forgotten the smile on her face when she told her that she "wants to be a magical girl when she grows up".
Lin Xiaolu suddenly remembered many things, her mother who slept with her when she was a child but left halfway; Mom who eats together when she grows up and suddenly says she wants to go out to buy something; Obviously said that he was going to come to the parent-teacher meeting but missed the appointment, and then claimed to be a mother who remembered the wrong time.
"Original...... So. β
The vision of his eyes has been blurred by tears at some point, and tears overflow his eyes, run down his cheeks, and fall on the screen of his mobile phone.
Her throat tightened, her voice choked, and she only felt that she was already a magical girl who saved others, and she shouldn't be so weak now, but she couldn't stop sobbing no matter what.
"That's the case."
It turns out that the real magical girl has always been by her side, and she has been a child who has been favored by magical girls from the beginning.
It's just that I didn't know all this until two years after I lost her.
Lin Xiaolu only cried at first, but soon covered her face and couldn't cry.
She thought that in the two years after her mother's death, she had already cried enough, and her tears had flowed enough. Figured it out, numb, and wouldn't cry so much about her things anymore.
But for no reason, when she found out that there was another "magical girl" connection between her and her mother, she suddenly found that she still had a lot to say to her mother.
Becoming a magical girl is not as easy as you think.
The beast is disgusting, annoying, and terrifying.
The practice of magic is hard and boring.
The Wizarding Realm seems to be a complicated place.
Delphinium Senpai is a very good person.
There are partners to fight together.
I may have begun to understand my father.
And...... I didn't expect that after two years, I still miss her so much.
Mixed with sorrow, he was locked in a small car, and even though the car was speeding all the way, he was held by his thoughts and could not be left behind.
Lin Xiaolu cried sadly, Xia Liang on the side didn't know how to persuade him, and Lin Yun in the front seat was silent and didn't say anything.
At least in his opinion, it's good to be able to cry at such times.
If you keep your sorrow and tears in your heart, and bury your thoughts and regrets in your heart forever, then after a long time, you won't even be able to confirm whether that feeling still exists.
The crying in the car continued for a long time, until Lin Xiaolu gradually stopped and began to sobbed quietly, Xia Liang patted her back and continued to ask Lin Yun:
"Uncle, but, if what you're saying is true, there seems to be a problem with this picture."
She looked at Delphinium and Anya in the photo, and asked with some puzzlement: "If Xiaolu's mother and Delphinium were magical girls at the same time, then she should have retired a long time ago, right?" β
As far as she and Lin Xiaolu know, Delphinium is a resident of the Magical Realm.
After all, Delphinium has never said which city she was born in, and she has always emphasized that she is much older than them, and she has been proven by others to be a "big man", so she really doesn't look like a magical girl in the material world.
The two girls have always been skeptical of Delphinium's emphasis on being adults, but now that they see this photo, the rest of their doubts are gone.
"She didn't retire."
Seeing that Lin Xiaolu's mood had stabilized a lot, Lin Yun sighed in his heart, and then said expressionlessly: "Because Lulu's mother is special, she is a lifelong magical girl, and she is not the same as others." β
This brand-new concept made Lin Xiaolu, who was crying in the corners of her eyes, and Xia Liang, who comforted her, feel confused.
- "Lifetime? Xiaolu's mother is for life? β
Unlike the two girls who were at a loss, the biggest reaction in the car was actually Moko.
This is not surprising, because among the people present, except for Lin Yun, only people know the meaning of this word.
Seeing that Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had no idea about this, it immediately explained: "A lifelong magical girl means that because she has had special merits or deeds, she is allowed to stay in the material world forever, which is a very powerful proof!" β
"Mommy she...... Is it powerful as a magical girl? β
Lin Xiaolu choked and whispered, repeating what Mo Ke said, and as if she realized something, she raised her head in a daze: "Then, in that case, how did my mother die?" β
As she asked questions, she reminisced, and suddenly remembered another key point, staring straight at the driver's seat in front of her, as if she could see her father through the back of the seat:
"Was it for this reason that you said I was going to 'forget her'?"
This question goes straight to the heart of the matter. After her grief and longing were released, she finally realized that her mother's death was not simple.
Lin Yun didn't speak.
His silence does not mean rejection, but rather thought.
His eyes glanced in the rearview mirror, and in the mirror he looked at Lin Xiaolu, who was reddened from the corners of his eyes. When their eyes met, he could see that although there was sadness in his daughter's eyes, they were still clear.
So he spoke.
ββ¦β¦ These days of becoming a magical girl, you should have heard more or less, how do magical girls determine their strength, right? β
Lin Yun retracted his gaze and stared at the carriageway outside the front wind window with some blankness: "Although I don't know the specific meaning, she once had a title when she was alive. β
There was a slight pause in his words, but there was not a murmur in the back seat.
Whether it was Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang and Mo Ke, they were all attracted by his words, held their breath, and quietly waited for the second half of his sentence.
Maybe you should light a cigarette to set the mood.
Lin Yun had this thought for no reason, but he didn't have the habit of smoking, so he could only take a long breath of relief, as if he was spitting out his own sorrow:
"It is said that in the second half of her magical girl career, other magical girls agreed that she was the 'strongest flower card'."
