Chapter 49: Long time no see

"Ah, speaking of which, this sister with glasses, you are the one who invited me and Moco to drink milk tea before...... Hey, what's wrong with you? ”

While Lin Xiaolu said the amazing words, Bai Jingxuan was still happy to be reunited with the "good person" in her memory, but the greeting between her and Bai Ji had not yet begun, and it ended because of Lin Xiaolu's words.

The concept of "a person who bathes with the slime of the remnant beast" was thrown out, and the atmosphere that had been eased suddenly became quite subtle.

Everyone's eyes focused on her for a moment, and then inexplicably focused on the blonde girl on the side.

"Ah, you're the guy who was almost killed by the Worm Rank Remnant......"

The blonde girl who was still greeting everyone a few breaths ago was slightly stunned at first, and then realized something, stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Xiaolu and shouted: "No, who is taking a bath with the mucus of the remnant beast!" ”

“…… Isn't that you? ”

Lin Xiaolu blinked, gestured in mid-air with his hand, pointed to the other party's iconic golden hair and light brain, and said: "If you recall carefully, the appearance is also very similar, and the voice is also very similar, and they are all magical girls who have recently come to Fangting City, it can only be you, right?" ”

"I didn't say it wasn't me! I mean, there's no such thing as 'bathing in slime!'" ”

Shouted with some shame, the blonde girl waved her fist: "That incident was an accident!" It was an accident caused by the crippled beast's self-explosion before it died, and I didn't mean it! ”

"Your method of fighting is to make the remnants explode......

"Who knew it would be so disgusting when it exploded!"

It seemed that just recalling the relevant things felt disgusting, the blonde girl's face was pale, and she couldn't help but press her abdomen: "Can you stop mentioning such disgusting memories all the time, to be honest, I'm going to vomit if I recall it again." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Seeing that the other party was not good, Lin Xiaolu also realized that his remarks seemed to be a pot that could not be opened, so he turned his eyes sideways and decisively terminated the topic.

It's just that the two of them have reached a consensus, but it doesn't mean that the other teammates have nothing to say. The two opened up the conversation box in this way, and of course the others had a full stomach of words to communicate. Especially Bai Jingxuan and the girl codenamed Bai Ji, they have already met before, so they are naturally very familiar. In addition, Xia Liang was also quite curious about magical girls in other cities, and several people suddenly chatted a little noisily.

The delphinium stood aside with her hands folded, and when she saw that the girls were chatting hotly, she didn't intend to extinguish their chat, but leaned against the wall and looked at the lounge not far away, waiting for the person she was waiting for.

After waiting like this for a few minutes, just as the delphinium knocked on her arm, and was already a little out of the world, she only heard a "click", and the door of the lounge was delicately pulled open.

The sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the girls, and the voice of the chat became much weaker, and the main owner, Enka Aso, who had not appeared in the lounge before, finally appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, she was no longer wearing the stage costume, and her gorgeous makeup was completely removed, but she did not lose her color because of the removal of makeup. Holding the doorframe with one hand, she poked her head out of the lounge and glanced at the equally silent girls without saying a word, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.

"Mentor."

"Sister."

“……”

Three young girls from Bai'an City greeted the woman behind the door one after another, although the attitude of one of them seemed a little wrong, but it was enough to make everyone's eyes focus on the woman.

And Aso's eyes swept over the girls around her, first paused on Lin Xiaolu, Bai Jingxuan, and Xia Liang, and then stayed on Lin Xiaolu for a while, and then staggered with the girls in Bai'an City one by one, and finally focused on Delfinch's face.

Similarly, the delphinium was watching her.

The eyes of the two met like this.

Long before leaving the stage, Delphinium had rehearsed it many times in her mind, feeling that she had to interrogate each other's behavior after seeing each other in private, but when things came to this point, she found that the atmosphere was completely different from what she thought.

She thought that the other party had pulled herself onto the stage to make such a prank, and at this time she was afraid that she was gloating about the evil, but after really seeing Aso's expression, she found that she seemed to have guessed wrong.

Because the other party's face is not some schadenfreude, or a mocking look, but a tired, nostalgic, and relieved smile.

Even twenty years ago, it was rare for the delphinium to see such a gentle expression on each other's faces.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?" After a brief moment of silence and staring at each other, it was Aso Madoka who took the lead in provoking the conversation.

“…… What do you want to do in such a drama? ”

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, and Delphinus doesn't want to waste her feelings, so she just said expressionlessly: "Tang suddenly called people to the stage to cooperate with your performance, is this some kind of vicious prank?" ”

"Oh, prank?"

Aso Madoka looked a little innocent and said, "That's how you understand it?" ”

“…… Probably better than a real prank. ”

Delphinium sighed slightly: "I thought you were going to say 'this is my former friend' directly on stage, and then come to a series of tricky shows." ”

"That's a misunderstanding, sister. Even I can't tell the difference between ordinary jokes and embarrassing teasing. Inviting one's friends to the stage to make each other embarrassed is not only a contempt for friendship, but also a blasphemy of the stage. ”

The corners of Aso's mouth were hooked, and her red eyes narrowed slightly: "Especially for the fans in the audience, if I expose our relationship by talking to myself, and then let you speak in the name of friends, then this matter will mean completely different to them." ”

"What does it mean differently?"

"If it's small, it's called 'snubbing', and if it's big, it's called 'betrayal', right?"

Aso Madoka slowly walked out of the lounge and gradually narrowed the distance between herself and Delphinium: "Whether it's singing or concert." Although it is objectively to distribute its own songs to fans, in the experience of the fans themselves, it is closer to a 'one-on-one' direct spiritual dialogue. ”

"On an occasion like a concert, if the singer makes it clear that his concert has other purposes, or that he has distractions, then it is a kind of snub and incompetence to spend money on his fans."

In this way, she walked to half a meter in front of the delphinium, and she stood still and bowed her head slightly: "Just like a competent magical girl, in addition to destroying the remnant beast, it is also necessary to stabilize the people's hearts; In addition to good works, a competent singer also needs to resonate with fans at the concert scene. Emotional experience is important, so I don't do anything too out of the ordinary on important occasions. ”

The delphinium looked back at each other for some reason: "...... So? ”

"So, please come to the stage, it's just that I just want my old friends to commemorate the moment of reunion, and I can't help it, and I don't have any more calculations, sister."

Madoka Aso said softly: "There is no need to feel strange to me because of many things that have happened, no matter how many things are different from before, at least our previous relationship will not change." ”

"Is this an 'emotional experience'?"

"That's right, you can think that this is an explanation for my old friend's emotional experience, or an apology, because I didn't intend to make you unhappy."

Aso Madoka said helplessly: "But my estimate may be a little wrong...... No, I should say that your temper has deteriorated a lot? I'm sorry, but I thought you wouldn't be angry with this level of banter. ”

"It's not so much anger as confusion."

Delphinium frowned slightly: "You know, Aso, it's been thirteen years. You haven't been back to the city for thirteen years, and when you suddenly come back at a time like this, I thought we should talk about something more important. ”

"Something more urgent...... Confused ......"

The red-eyed woman looked at the delphinium with a slightly confused expression, and then nodded suddenly: "Ah, I see. You don't think my jokes make sense. ”

After she said this, she suddenly closed her mouth, as if she was thinking about something, and then showed a slightly complicated smile: "Meaningless, meaningless." Alas...... You've really changed a lot. ”

This sentence seemed a little abrupt on this occasion, and it could even be said that there was no beginning or end, but the delphinium still subtly followed the idea it wanted to express and responded.

"After all, so many years have passed, if there is no growth and change at all, won't it seem that time is wasted?"

She looked up at her old teammate in front of her, and her voice softened slightly: "The Aso Madoka in my memory is not a character who will apologize for this kind of thing, and you didn't explain to others what your actions were for. ”

"Explain your actions? Aren't you the same? I thought I might never see the appearance of 'Delphinch' in my life. ”

“…… I thought so, too. ”

Delphinium paused: "But a lot of things happened some time ago, and I still can't just sit back and wait for death. ”

"I've heard, Fangting City seems to have been quite troubled recently."

"Listen to whom?"

"Dean."

"She told you anyway?"

"I took the initiative to ask."

Delphinium glanced at her suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask her about this?" ”

Aso Madoka smiled inexplicably: "Of course, it's because I heard that a former retired teammate has made a comeback, and even went to the city where I am stationed to show his strength, and even my juniors and students have been taught a lot by that person, who do you say that person is?" ”

“…… I knew the old woman wasn't at ease. ”

Hearing the other party's words, and thinking of who took the idea of who he was sent to Bai'an in the first place, Delphinus suddenly figured out the key to the matter, and couldn't help but press her temples: "I shouldn't have accepted her request to be reinstated in the first place." ”

"It's not good to call 'old woman' directly, she doesn't seem to like being called that."

Different from Delphinium's sad face, as the beneficiary of this matter, Aso Yuanxiang's expression was more light: "No matter what, the result of the matter is good, is it a rare happy event for old friends to meet, or do you actually not want to see me?" ”

The delphinium pursed her lips a little helplessly.

Emotionally speaking, it is not a bad thing to be able to meet friends who have been separated for a long time, but it is really troublesome to meet each other at this juncture.

Or to put it a little more hypocritically, she is not unwilling, but she has not done a good job of psychological construction.

She has some experiences that she is not so willing to tell her children and juniors, and even Hong Sihe is not so clear about those things, even if she knows a little, she will be afraid of her own thoughts, and she will not say it easily.

But Aso Enka is different, this woman has always not minded what trouble her words and deeds have caused to other people, she can say it if she wants to, but there is no way to say it.

The woman in front of her is called Aso Enka, and there is one biggest difference between her and her former teammate, that is, she is a partner who has been with her since she first became a magical girl, and because of this, the two know a lot of secrets about each other.

From the rookie magical girl period of the level, to the garden defense battle after that, the more you know each other, the more you know each other, the more you understand each other, and the more casual the mode of getting along.

Can Enka Aso tell what she can say and what she can't? Delphinium actually has no bottom in her heart, but at this juncture, saying "I don't want to see you" seems too affectionate. Clearly inappropriate.

“…… If I had to say, it was still a pleasure to be reunited. After thinking about it in her heart for a long time, she came to such a conclusion.

"That's each other?" Madoka Aso, who got the response, laughed.

"One another."

With a short sigh, the delphinium raised her eyelids slightly: "Anyway, long time no see, you look pretty good." ”

"You're in good shape, too."

Aso Madoka echoed in turn: "Or, being able to see you standing here with this appearance means that you are in a better state than when I left."

With that, she stretched out her right hand, clasped it in the palm of her hand, and made a gesture of inviting a handshake: "Then, maybe it's time for us to start working together again." ”

"Cooperation? What's the matter? ”

"There are many things, the matter of protecting the city, the matter of the kingdom, the matter of Anya, the matter of Su Shengzi, and even the matter of you and Your Excellency."

Saying this, Aso Yuanxiang's expression became a lot more serious: "You said earlier, let me talk about serious things, that's probably it?" ”

“…… Are you checking? The delphinium stared into her eyes.

"I'm looking, it's better to say that I know better than anyone else how things are going." Madoka Aso also looked at her seriously.

"yes, that's good."

Nodding, Delphinium stretched out his hand, shook his hands with the other party, and shook it slightly: "Since that's the case, let's cooperate." ”

"Magical Girl, Flower License Certification Number 21032, Affiliated Investigation Institute, Codename Margaret." Aso Madoka said suddenly.

Hearing her self-report number, Delphinium was stunned at first, and after realizing that this seemed to be completing some kind of etiquette, she also spoke: "Magical girl, flower card certification number 41076, Delphinch." ”

After speaking, the scene was quiet for a while, not only did the two people shaking hands not speak, but the girls who were watching the gossip on the side also held their breath, and there was no extra sound at all.

Then, Madoka Aso smiled abruptly.

She laughed as she bent her knees, kept shaking hands, and gently turned to one knee.

After her knees touched the ground, she changed her handshake posture to support her hand, gently lifted the back of the delphinch's hand, and then, before everyone knew what they were doing, her lips touched the back of her hand like a dragonfly:

"At your service, my lady."

The update is still a bit slow, and I'm really sorry for waiting for a long time. Because the status is still being adjusted, it will probably maintain a frequency of updating every 2~3 days during this time, and I will adjust it as soon as possible, forgive meow.
