Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 349 - 46: The Top Star on the Stage_5

Throughout the entire process, her attitude was very rational, discussing her departure from Fangting City from a perspective of analyzing her future development, and what considerations had led her to join the Magic Kingdom in the days to come.

Because her analysis was too rational and realistic, nobody had any reason to persuade her otherwise, and the only one in the team capable of persuasion, Su Shengzi, had no intention of doing so, readily accepting Asou Haruka’s decision to leave.

And so, in a cold winter similar to the present one, beneath a cascade of snowflakes, Asou Haruka bid farewell to her teammates and set out on the road to the harbor.

Before leaving, Lin Yun, who had not been seen for a long time, unexpectedly showed up to say goodbye to his old teammate.

"I’m sorry."

Even now, Emerald Sparrow remembered the words she had said upon seeing her.

"Why apologize?"

"About the matter of my retirement, I wasn’t intentionally avoiding you all, it’s just..."

"You just felt that meeting up would only lead to unpleasantness, and perhaps even part on bad terms, so you simply avoided it?"

Dragging her suitcase, Margaret blinked, her lips curling slightly: "Sister, there are no need for useless explanations, and moreover, there’s no need for your apology for this matter."

"I think the term ’sister’ is no longer applicable to the current scene."

The Lin Yun in her memories sighed: "Anyway, having left the environment of a Magical Girl, I’m not in a position to offer you any useful advice, so I just wish you all the best in the future."

"When I call you ’sister,’ it’s to express the pursuit of a constant relationship, sister. In my view, that’s how our relationship is defined, and it was the most comfortable way for us."

Adjusting the gloves on her hands to wrap them a bit tighter, Margaret grasped her suitcase again: "Do you know what the one thing that I’m most dissatisfied with right now is?"

"My sudden retirement, which increased the pressure on your battles?"

Lin Yun pondered, "But I feel like at that time I was only holding you back..."

"That’s not the main reason."

Margaret’s face still sported a refreshing smile, but there was no mirth to be found in her crimson eyes: "Sister, do you understand what I’m really trying to say by repeatedly emphasizing this term?"

"...We are friends, teammates."

"Yes, the three of us, you, me, An Ya, and of course now begrudgingly including that old lady Su Shengzi, and even begrudgingly counting Hong Siyu and that silent workhorse, we are teammates, we used to be the closest of people."

She raised a hand to form a "five": "This was supposed to be a stable group relationship, but then you and An Ya suddenly got married, almost as if you both were playing together, and even before making the decision there was no communication with the sisters, giving me a really terrible feeling."

"It’s like your friends deciding to go out and play without you, and showing no need for you in the entire decision-making process, and even after the decision was made. I felt this indifference, was I being abandoned?"

"I don’t know what that old lady Su Shengzi really thinks, but Hong Siyu ran away without saying a word, and you should know why. That girl has been circling around you calling you ’senior’ this and ’senior’ that, her intentions couldn’t be more clear. By you two getting married, you directly broke her defenses. Can you really bear it?"

"...I’m sorry," was what Lin Yun could only repeat somewhat lamely.

"Ah, but after all, we are sisters, so I’m destined to have no grievances against you."

With a faint sigh that turned into a wisp of white mist in the cold air, Margaret looked at Lin Yun again: "Just like I said at your wedding, I wish you happiness, even if begrudgingly. I hope your marriage is more blissful than anyone else’s; your life, sweeter; your children, more adorable than anyone’s. If not, then you would be letting down the sisters’ expectations and the heart you’ve hurt."

"We all know what kind of person An Ya is, so it’s hard for me to tell her something cheesy like ’you have to make Lin Yun happy.’ But I can tell you straight, sister, don’t let An Ya down, she really loves you."

Lin Yun too exhaled softly: "...I know, thank you." Stay updated via novelbuddy

"There’s no need to thank me for a few nice words, which are of no technical content or cost."

Propping up her suitcase, Margaret kicked the ground lightly with the tip of her foot: "Anyway, that’s about all there is to say; the reason for my leaving has already been made clear, and it has nothing much to do with you, it’s just that I’ve grown tired by myself and want to see something new. Or rather, after being a Magical Girl for so long, it’s time to consider what to do with my life next."

"Do what?"

"I haven’t decided yet."

Margaret’s answer was very straightforward: "Anyway, it won’t be a stable white-collar job or housewife, I need to find something that attracts attention and satisfies this love-starved heart of mine."

"Love-starved heart... Let’s just leave it at that," he murmured, repeating the words Margaret had just used, Lin Yun closed his eyes: "Well, no matter what, I wish you a smooth life and hope that you will soon find the meaning you are seeking, my... friend."

"Heh, I’ll take your words as an omen," she chuckled lightly, dragging her suitcase: "Alright, go back now, don’t freeze out here in the cold. Your wife and a warm bed are waiting at home; there’s nothing to talk about with me, a lonely, solitary figure."
