Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 379 - 61 Conflict and Sincerity_2

Although she was mentally an adult and didn’t put much stock in things like fortune-telling, Weave of Fate was her own magical equipment, and she couldn’t help but make some associations.

The current crisis in Fangting City, the lurking threat of Black Ash Dawn and Claw Mark, the pressure to protect the children, the obstacles to avenging An Ya, as well as the warnings from her magical equipment—all were stimulating Emerald Sparrow’s nerves, telling her "you must have power now."

And to wrest back that power, between the two previous options—White Wolf and Mother Green—at least Mother Green was slightly more trustworthy than White Wolf. Both options looked bad, but she was forced to choose the lesser of two evils.

"To tell the truth, I still can’t quite understand, because I’m really worried, sister."

Asou Haruka finally spoke again, her face showing a wry smile, "What’s most important in my heart right now is your safety. An Ya has already had that incident, and I really don’t want anyone else to have any accidents. So when you said ’might be executed,’ I was truly angry, which is why I said what I did just now. Sorry."

"...Thank you for your concern. I understand, and even if it had been the me from before, I definitely would have agreed with your thoughts."

Emerald Sparrow lowered her eyelids, "You’re not wrong, Asou."

"But now, after everything I’ve experienced before, I’ve come to the realization that merely blindly pursuing stability and peace is ultimately unsustainable."

"Just like how I once naively believed that everything would be over after the Great Beast Calamity, that I could enjoy a peaceful life; just like how Hong Siyu worked diligently in the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, not making enemies with anyone... We all believed that we could return to tranquility, but the fact is, peace without power is not true peace."

"There’s no choice in this world that is absolutely safe. If I wait until next year to go to the Magic Kingdom, will it really be safer than going now? What could happen during this year? And can we truly guarantee that next year is without any risk? We can’t. We just follow experience, follow logic, believing that it will help avoid risks."

"But fate doesn’t speak in logic and reason. It might show you occasional kindness, but more often, it mocks and ridicules. Only by having power, by seizing the initiative, can I now feel at ease."

"That’s also why I’m here, why I became the director of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, because I’m not at ease. I won’t leave our safety in others’ hands again. Whether you call it a desire for power or paranoia, I want to control these things as much as possible."

"So, this time too, I don’t want to wait another year. I want to take the initiative."

She lifted her head, looking at Asou Haruka, "These are my thoughts, my sincerity."

After she finished speaking, she fell silent and merely waited quietly for the other’s response, or rather reaction.

She didn’t expect Asou Haruka to immediately understand her thoughts, nor did she hope to continue debating. She had laid out her thoughts completely; now all she needed was a glance, a gesture from the other party, and that would be enough.

The look and gesture would directly reflect the other’s thoughts, their stance on her own thoughts would directly influence Emerald Sparrow’s next actions.

Being willing to act together would be good, but reluctance or even continued opposition was also within expectation.

Because she knew that the past and present were ultimately different. The three members of the old Fangting squad had gathered here, but time could never be turned back.

Especially for Asou Haruka, who had joined the Magic Kingdom and had been working in the investigation department for many years, serving there even longer than the time spent as teammates with her. From this perspective, there was really no reason for her to agree with this plan.

As a Magical Girl from the investigation department, Asou Haruka even had reasons to stop this plan on the spot. However, she didn’t, but stood from the same perspective, willing to consider the safety of an old teammate, which was already more than generous.

The topics discussed before, whether visiting An Ya, searching for Su Shengzi, or possibly confronting Claw Mark in the future, all fell within the scope of what a Magical Girl should do, not conflicting with the rules of the Kingdom.

But entering the Kingdom with a fake identity was clearly beyond that scope, even if the Gemstone Scepter was behind the planning, it would still outwardly be breaking the rules.

If possible, Emerald Sparrow wouldn’t have wanted to bring up this topic so soon after reuniting with her old teammates. But since the topic existed, it would inevitably come to this point, and she wasn’t planning to avoid it.

However, Asou Haruka’s response took her by surprise.

"Do you remember what I told you when I first arrived a few days ago?"

It wasn’t understanding or misunderstanding, nor was it a questioning of Emerald Sparrow’s motives, but a counter-question, "I clearly just told you, or did you take it as a joke and throw it out of your mind after hearing it?"

"...’Let’s welcome this fan up on stage’?" Emerald Sparrow replied after a brief recollection.

"Not that, it was after that." Discover stories at novelbuddy

Asou Haruka sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I’ll say it again then, otherwise you probably really can’t remember."

Having said that, she suddenly knelt on one knee, then lifted Emerald Sparrow’s hand, "How about now? Do you remember?"
