Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 67 – Fairy and Friends
Fangting City's first social welfare institute is located in the Lixing District and is one of the two large welfare institutes in the city.
Many children who have lost their parents due to accidents and have no one to take care of them, or elderly people who have no one to care for them in their old age, will be brought here by the city government with their consent in order to receive comprehensive care.
The welfare institute covers a large area and has nearly 3000 beds. There are also over 400 staff members who provide relatively good medical conditions, sufficient for the rehabilitation of every disabled elderly and child.
Bai Jingxuan has been living here for three years.
In these three years, she has gone from being naive to being able to understand things. Most of the other children in the welfare institute come and go, living here briefly before being adopted and entering new families. Only she has been left behind, like a leftover item in a vegetable market.
In fact, in terms of personality, Bai Jingxuan is not a difficult child to get along with. She is quiet and sensible. Compared to other 11-year-olds, or even older children, her words and actions appear more mature.
In terms of appearance, she is also very cute, with fair skin and delicate features. She has a bob haircut that reaches her chin. Because of her clothing and behavior, she appears somewhat boyish, but she is actually quite likable.
However, the medical eye patch she wears on her left eye reveals a fact to outsiders: there is something wrong with her eye.
In fact, she is missing an eye.
Not only that, she also suffers from an undiagnosable and incurable congenital disease. The symptoms include intermittent dizziness and fatigue, and in severe cases, partial loss of control over her limbs.
This series of problems has caused couples who tried to adopt her to hesitate and even give up after learning the truth. After some time, no one was willing to take Bai Jingxuan away.
So three years have passed, and Bai Jingxuan still lives here.

Occasionally, someone would ask her if she felt sad, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her life here. The caregivers in the welfare institute are very friendly and take good care of her. The grandparents in the institute also like her very much and often greet her to chat. Even the director of the welfare institute, Aunt Liu, often looks after her.
Perhaps the only downside is that she feels a bit lonely.
In recent days, she always likes to go to the shady courtyard alone in the afternoon and quietly read there.
This is a habit she didn't have before. In the past, she wouldn't specifically seek out such secluded places alone. She preferred to go to more lively places. Regardless of who it was, just chatting for a few words would make her feel more fulfilled.
The reason she does this now is because she has a little secret.
Or to be more specific, she has a new friend.
-"Xiaoxuan! I'm here!"
With the call coming from above, Bai Jingxuan welcomed the person she had been waiting for on this agreed afternoon.
So she put down the book in her hand, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and secretly waved to her "friend" above, softly greeting, "Good afternoon, Fairy Miss."
She has a fairy friend.
This friend looks like a pink cat on the outside, but it's only the size of her two palms. It has a pair of transparent wings on its back, flapping and floating in the air. It is surrounded by small floating light balls, just like a fairy in a fairy tale.
"I've said it many times, just call me 'Mo Ke', calling me a fairy is too formal!"
Gradually descending from the air, the fairy who called herself "Mo Ke" said to herself, "Just like I won't call you 'human', such a title is actually quite rude."
"Yeah, I know, Mo Ke." Bai Jingxuan obediently nodded.
Her acquaintance with Mo Ke happened a few days ago in the afternoon.
At that time, she just happened to pass by this place and, because of the hot summer weather, she impulsively wanted to stay in the shade for a while. It was this action that led her to encounter the fairy flying from the sky.
At that time, she didn't even know what a fairy was. She just saw a cat flying in the air and found it very interesting, so she couldn't help but strike up a conversation with it.
What surprised her even more was that this cat could actually speak.
Then she learned that this kind of creature was called a "fairy" in legends.
The fairy who called herself "Mo Ke" was very witty and willing to chat with her for a long time, telling her many fairy tale-like stories. Later on, the term "magical girl" began to appear in its descriptions.
Bai Jingxuan knew about magical girls.
Or rather, her life was saved by a magical girl.In the year when she was eight, her parents took her out, heading to the hospital for a routine check-up due to her incurable congenital disease. It was then they encountered a Brutal Beast.
At that time, Bai Jingxuan didn't even fully understand what was happening. She only remembered sitting in the hospital lobby with her parents, chatting and laughing, when a sudden intense shock occurred around them.
A rampaging Brutal Beast crashed into the hospital, initiating a frenzy of destruction and slaughter.
The hospital was devastated under the attack of the Brutal Beast, and a large number of medical staff and patients lost their lives in that assault. Later, Bai Jingxuan heard from others that it was the most tragic casualty incident in Fangting City in nearly a decade.
In this incident, Bai Jingxuan lost her parents and her left eye, but she was the only one who survived.
A Magical Girl arrived in time, saving the remaining civilians and defeating the Brutal Beast.
Although Bai Jingxuan was still young at that time, with a not so strong perception of life and death, as she grew up, she understood the grace of being saved.
So, she had a good impression of the Magical Girl.
However, in Mo Ke's words, the Magical Girl seemed to have stepped out of the halo in others' eyes, becoming more real and more life-like.
She told many interesting little stories about the Magical Girl, even claiming to know the Magical Girl of this city. According to her examples, some Magical Girls in Fangting City failed their school exams; some were so clumsy that they couldn't even learn how to use Magic Power; and some were strong against the weak, liking to bully Fairies.
Although she didn't know how much truth there was in these words, and even though there were quite a few negative comments, it didn't prevent Bai Jingxuan from finding her words interesting, and as a result, her admiration for the Magical Girls increased a bit more.
Because she thought that it was precisely because the Magical Girls were actually just ordinary people, their willingness to fight and save others was commendable.
It was when she started thinking this way, two days ago, when she and Mo Ke were enjoying the afternoon together, chatting happily, that Mo Ke suddenly proposed to her:
"Xuan, do you know? You can actually become a Magical Girl too!"
