Time rewinds a few hours ago, when Delphinch and Xia Liang had not yet returned, in the afternoon, Bai Jingxuan and Lin Xiaolu, who had settled lunch, began to arrange the living room.

Regarding Xia Liang's birthday, they also learned about it from Delphinch. And the task given to them by Delphinium is to prepare a surprise for Xia Liang before the two of them come back.

After a simple lunch break, Lin Xiaolu took the initiative to take charge of the decoration of the living room, while Bai Jingxuan took the opportunity to go to the entrance, took out the colorful flags and lanterns that had been prepared, and hung them on the ceiling.

Because of the lack of height, both of them chose a very clever method: directly transform into a magical girl, and use the magical girl's flying ability to levitate in the air, so as to complete the relevant arrangements more easily.

Bai Jingxuan carefully placed the ornaments at the same intervals, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she glanced at the living room, and saw the back of Lin Xiaolu who was also meticulous in her work, and couldn't help but fall into thought.

It's been more than a month since she joined the Fangting City team, and she still hasn't figured out the relationship between the three seniors in the team.

Her teacher, Delphinium, is the captain of the team, and indeed bears the responsibilities of the seniors, guiding every magical girl in the team, and is a person who makes Bai Jingxuan feel very respectable.

It's just that the relationship between himself and the teacher is just a simple teacher-student, but the relationship between the teacher and the other two seniors doesn't seem to be so simple, and there is a side that I haven't been able to see.

As for the other two seniors, the relationship between Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang made her even more confused.

Lin Xiaolu always seems to be angry with Xia Liang, and Xia Liang is always deliberately provoking Lin Xiaolu, the two have been fighting each other on the surface, as long as they are together, they always quarrel over some boring things, this state even made Bai Jingxuan want to reconcile for a while.

But when she got a little deeper, she found that things seemed to be a little different from what she thought?

These two people don't seem to be targeting each other because of pure bad feelings, it's better to say, although Bai Jingxuan doesn't understand it very well, but their relationship doesn't seem to be as bad as it seems?

After all, if Lin Xiaolu really hated Xia Liang, he wouldn't be like now, full of joy to prepare for the other party's birthday, right?

- "She's such a candid guy after all." ”

A voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Turning her face sideways, Bai Jingxuan saw a pink cat floating beside her, yawning.

"Ah, Moko, you're back!"

Just finished the work at hand, Bai Jingxuan landed from the air, put on a shallow smile, looked at Mo Ke and said, "How is today?" Found a new magical girl? ”

"No, no, no progress at all."

Flapping his wings behind his back, Mo Ke picked up his paws helplessly: "It's really strange, since the previous incident, there have been fewer remnant beasts, and the preparatory magical girl is gone, isn't it completely impossible to reflect my role?" ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be so peaceful now? Moko, you don't really like fighting, do you? ”

"No! I'm your sower, and if there are no remnants and newcomers, what is the difference between me and a pet living in a human home? ”

“…… Can talk? ”

"Xiaoxuan! How could such a good boy say such vicious words! ”

"Huh? However, Moco can really talk, it's different from ordinary pets, right? ”

"I'm not a pet! Don't ask me about pets! Moko couldn't help but shout angrily.

- "You two, don't gossip there when you have time, come and help!" ”

Lin Xiaolu in the living room shouted angrily: "The work is not finished yet, how can there be time for you to chat?" ”

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolu, I'll come here."

Bai Jingxuan hurriedly ran to the living room with her unused hanging ornaments, and then looked up at Lin Xiaolu in the air and asked, "Which side should I deal with?" ”

"Close to the balcony."

Lin Xiaolu pointed casually and continued to deal with the work in his hands.

Bai Jingxuan didn't ask any more questions, floated into the air again, and followed Lin Xiaolu to complete the rest of the decoration work.

Because they don't have to use ladders to climb and move like ordinary people, the efficiency of the two people is actually very high, and it didn't take long to complete the scheduled task, and the entire floor of the villa was dressed up as they wanted.

Picking up the remaining wrapping paper and decorative scraps on the floor, he looked around the living room

"Sister Xia Liang should feel very happy to see these when she comes back, right?"

"How dare she be upset?"

Lin Xiaolu said angrily: "I spent so much effort to serve her, if she is unhappy, I will have to turn my face." ”

"How so?" Bai Jingxuan shook her head, "Although I'm not Sister Xia Liang, if it's me......"

"You feel a little envious?" Lin Xiaolu asked with a sideways face.

"Huh? No, I didn't mean that, and I didn't want to trouble you......" Bai Jingxuan, who was pierced with caution, waved her hand and hurriedly wanted to cover it up.

"Nothing trouble, you'll have it too, by your birthday."

Lin Xiaolu glanced at Bai Jingxuan: "You can now think about what kind of cake you want for your birthday." ”

"It's too early, it's a long time since my birthday!"

Bai Jingxuan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she still couldn't help but be a little fascinated: "But, the birthday cake." ”

"It's not early, is it? Think about what could be wrong? ”

Lin Xiaolu snorted lightly: "Let's see, anyway, everyone has a birthday, and when it is my birthday next year, I will sit on the sofa and command Xia Liang to work for me!" ”

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Bai Jingxuan blinked her eyes and couldn't help but say bluntly: "Sister Xiaolu, obviously she is always saying bad things about Sister Xia Liang, but in fact, she seems to have a good relationship?" ”

"Who's on good terms with that guy?"

Lin Xiaolu was angry, and said with an unhappy face: "It's just that Delphinium told me to do this, otherwise I wouldn't do such a flattering thing." ”

——"What she means is that if the inspector doesn't explain how to arrange it, she may just give Xia Liang an ordinary birthday. ”

The Moco thief on the side smiled and said, "It's probably to the extent that you can help sing a birthday song after buying a cake?" If you had known earlier, there would have been handmade gifts? ”

"Don't misinterpret me!" Lin Xiaolu looked at Mo Ke with an annoyed expression, "I mean, I won't celebrate that guy's birthday!" ”

"Then you secretly went to buy a gift yesterday and hid it under your bed?"

"Huh? How do you know...... No, what are you talking nonsense! ”

"I've seen it all! You still brought it back from Xia Liang! Mo Ke pointed at Lin Xiaolu and said loudly.

"Nothing to do! It's just a casual purchase on the road! Lin Xiaolu retorted loudly.

"So you bought it anyway!"

"It's annoying, it's really annoying, stupid Moko!"

"Am I stupid? So what are you who can't even hide from you? Big stupid little Lu! ”

"Idiot Moco!"

"Big idiot Xiaolu!"

This senseless quarrel lasted for a long time, and even if Bai Jingxuan stopped it, it could only make the two stop the scolding and fighting on the surface, and each sat on the side sulking.

Until Xia Liang and Delphinium came back from outside, Lin Xiaolu and Moke were still losing each other.

Of course, unpleasant emotions will not be carried into the process of celebrating a birthday after all.

With the clear sound of the hand-pulled salute and the birthday wishes of the companions to Xia Liang, the birthday party that ended the day was the last and most lively finale, leaving unforgettable memories for everyone.

It was night, in the dark living room, everyone gathered around the birthday cake with candles, singing birthday songs for Xia Liang, while waiting for Xia Liang to blow out the candles.

That night, in the brightly lit restaurant, girls and goblins cut cakes together and tasted sweetness, and the birthday celebrants were one step closer to adulthood.

It was night, at the corridor at the staircase, everyone took out the birthday gifts they had prepared and handed them over to Xia Liang.

The gift that Delphinium had prepared was a brand new plush doll, and because Xia Liang seemed to like to fall asleep with such a doll, she specially prepared one that was not available in her room.

The gift Bai Jingxuan prepared was a handmade greeting card, which she cut out of cardboard and handmade paper in the welfare home, and all the parts were made by hand.

The latest of the three to be taken out, the gift prepared by Lin Xiaolu, was a pair of earrings.

"Because I said you were frivolous to wear this kind of thing, so you took off your original pair and threw it away, right?"

She turned her face sideways, looked away, and put the small box in Xia Liang's hand: "That is...... I'm not going to apologize anyway, but I don't like to owe people, so I bought it when I saw it, do you like it or not. ”

In this regard, Xia Liang first covered his mouth, lost his speech for a while, and finally pounced forward and hugged Lin Xiaolu in his arms fiercely.

"What are you doing, the flesh is numb, let go!"

Being held in Xia Liang's arms, Lin Xiaolu struggled to pull her hand: "I said that I just bought it casually, what are you touching yourself?" ”

“…… Thank you. ”

And Xia Liang rarely didn't deliberately tease anymore, but just expressed his feelings to Lin Xiaolu in the most concise and simple language.

Her words were so straightforward that Lin Xiaolu couldn't find any excuse to refuse her thanks again, so she could only turn her eyes to the other two people on the side for help.

But neither Delphinium nor Bai Jingxuan had any intention of interfering, but looked at the two hugging each other with a relieved face.

The birthday party belonging to Xia Liang came to an end in such a peaceful atmosphere

Of course, Moco didn't prepare any gifts, but the cake was the one he ate the most.

The celebration is over, the dinner is over, and after the magical girls celebrate their birthdays together, they have to put away the decorations on the first floor, and then the delphinium throws the garbage to the designated place.

Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu had to go to school the next day, so they went to wash up, said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Bai Jingxuan went to the basement alone - she didn't need to go to school for the time being, she put most of her energy into training, and the hardness was so hard that Delphinch had to watch her from the side, so that she could prevent herself from being damaged by overtraining.

In this way, the two stayed in the basement until it was close to eleven o'clock, and then stopped because of Bai Jingxuan's sleepiness. Delphinium stopped the girl who was yawning and wanted to continue, and explicitly asked her to go to bed.

Bai Jingxuan is a sensible and obedient child, so she obeyed Delfinch's request and honestly went back to her room to sleep.

After closing the training room on the ground floor, Delphinium was the last to return to her bedroom.

With the exhaustion of a busy day, she sighed slightly, took off her coat, and prepared to wash up and go to bed. But just as she was about to unbutton her neckline, she saw the mirror at the head of the bed flickering slightly.

It wasn't an ordinary mirror, but a magic mirror that the Investigation Institute had brought to her to communicate with the golden green cat's eye.

The flickering text on the mirror reminds Delphinium that she has a missed call request.

Frowning and moving two steps in the direction of the bed, the delphinium picked up the magic mirror, and then tapped on the screen to see the specific source of the call - sure enough, it was the Investigative Institute.

Golden green cat's eyes have something to find themselves?

Such a conjecture was born in her heart, and in the habit of long pain is better than short pain, and work should not be delayed, Delphinium stretched out her hand, and several Fawo runes fell from her fingertips and hit the surface of the magic mirror.

She chose to ask now.

The fairy dance on the screen didn't last long, and the picture flickered, and soon a girl wearing a golden hardtop hat appeared on the screen, looking at the mirror with some seriousness.

Delphinium was able to recognize her, as this was the magical girl who was in charge of wiring herself last time and passing the call to the golden green cat's eyes.

"Hello, Inspector, thank you for your willingness to take our call."

The girl on the other side of the magic mirror bowed slightly, then raised her head, and said in a solemn voice, "Please forgive us for disturbing you at this time." But right now, in the southern part of the Donghua Prefecture, which is where you are, something has happened that no one wants to see. ”

"What is it?"

Delphia looked at the magic mirror expressionlessly: "Don't tell me, it's our dean's boring words again?" ”

“…… I'm sorry, but this time there was a serious incident."

The magical girl on the other side of the magic mirror bowed again, and then continued: "According to the contact channels of our investigation institute, as well as the information provided by the magical girl in Bai'an City near your city: the team that was sent to Donghua Prefecture before and had contact with you, the cattail team, they ......"

"Disappeared in the southern part of the Donghua Prefecture."
