Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 529 - 106 Colorful Cloud Wetland_5
"If you think that's a benefit," Emerald Sparrow said ambiguously.
For the sake of eternal youth, those who choose to join the Kingdom and continue to be Magical Girls after their ten years of service are not few in number. Although their lifespan does not increase, the bodies and true forms of these Magical Girls stay young in appearance until the end of their natural lives.
This has always been the excuse used by Emerald Sparrow to explain to her juniors why there is almost no difference in her appearance before and after transformation. Thankfully, this excuse holds up, as Asou Haruka, who recently moved to Fangting City, also used her appearance to corroborate Emerald Sparrow's story, and nobody could poke holes in her identity through this excuse.
"Of course, it is a benefit."
Xia Liang, having no clue what Emerald Sparrow was thinking at the moment, continued to fiddle with Emerald Sparrow's hair: "It feels like if you carefully part the hair strands, you can see them twinkling like stars."
"Are you saying I have dandruff in my hair?" Emerald Sparrow asked strangely since she knew that Magical Girls' bodies weren't supposed to have such metabolic products.

"What kind of mood-killer are you talking about? It's that kind of pale blue with some white specks, and it's really pretty and harmonious, certainly not dandruff."
Xia Liang replied somewhat helplessly, yet her hands didn't stop: "Ah, the more I look, the more envious I get."
"Is that so? Well, if you really want nice hair, I remember there's a beauty salon in the Emerald District."
Emerald Sparrow recalled after a moment: "They provide a lot of services that combine aesthetics with practicality, like engraving Favo Runes for enhancing Magic activity in nails; or hair dyes mixed with small doses of stimulants to aid Spiritual Thought, and so on."
"It sounds really interesting," Xia Liang's voice contained a touch of interest: "Shall we go try it out?"
"Sure, is Long Dan coming with us too?" Lin Xiaolu's voice came from another direction into Emerald Sparrow's ears.
"No, I won't go, I really have things to deal with tomorrow."
Emerald Sparrow breathed out slowly: "You guys can stroll around Luennolay on your own, you can go up to the front desk and book a local guide, and they'll recommend places worth visiting."
This was not an excuse, but the truth. Tomorrow, Emerald Sparrow indeed had a prior engagement, and this appointment was actually quite significant to her.
That was, she needed to visit the Research Institute to find Emerald.
The method to heal the Heart's Gem, as promised by Emerald to her, was there.
Emerald Sparrow had been preparing since last November, undergoing several pre-diagnosis and preliminary treatments for her true form, all to ensure a smooth treatment tomorrow.
She didn't want to wait any longer, for healing the Heart's Gem and repairing her true form meant regaining combat strength, and naturally, the sooner the better.
Emerald seemed to have her own demands, thus continuously persuading Emerald Sparrow to visit the Research Institute as soon as possible; both had similar thoughts, and eventually, they set the date for tomorrow.
As for whether this meeting would be a trap?
Emerald Sparrow couldn't be one hundred percent certain it wasn't a trap; in fact, when she first met Emerald, she felt it was absolutely a trap.

Just in the few months of collaboration, the assistance provided by Emerald and the attitude displayed had shown a kind of eerie sincerity. Although the chief of the Research Institute often seemed not so reliable, and there was always a bit of personal twisted humor mixed into the way things were done, at the same time, Emerald would hardly ever hide or hoard information. Most of the inquiries made by Emerald Sparrow could get answers, and it could be said that the transparency was excessive.
This kind of transparency was the biggest difference between Emerald and Golden Green Cat's Eye and was also the reason why Emerald Sparrow was very resistant to having too much involvement with Golden Green Cat's Eye, yet was willing to meet Emerald in the Kingdom.
Emerald Sparrow pondered in this way, gradually sinking into her own thoughts, and did not mind the younger ones playing with her hair, even though the hands at the back of her head had turned from one pair to two.
The group soaked in the hot spring for a while longer, then left because a few of the juniors began to feel dizzy.
Emerald Sparrow, with her hair dried and body wiped, left the scenic room wrapped in a bathrobe. Barefoot, she stepped on the wetland, and the feel of the grass under her feet along with the evening breeze that brushed her face made her squint her eyes, but then she became alert again due to the sound of footsteps coming from ahead.
It was a group of unfamiliar female travelers, most of them looking quite young, and with stronger magical power fluctuations than ordinary people – undoubtedly, they were a group of Magical Girls.
In the Emerald District, brushing past Magical Girls you don't recognize was very ordinary, so Emerald Sparrow didn't think much of it. She just stepped aside, yielding the way to this group of unfamiliar travelers.
The opposite Magical Girls noticed Emerald Sparrow's gesture, and they nodded in thanks, then passed by Emerald Sparrow and headed straight towards the nearby Magic Hot Spring.
It was just an encounter with a group of strangers; that's what Emerald Sparrow thought, and her gaze didn't linger on these Magical Girls. They had merely passed by, and that's why they appeared in her field of vision.
However, when the last Magical Girl in the crowd swept past Emerald Sparrow, who had almost no focus in her eyes, Emerald Sparrow suddenly felt an incredibly strong sense of familiarity.
This should be someone she had once known, or could even say was very familiar with.
Upon realizing this, Emerald Sparrow instinctively turned her head, wanting to take another look at the figure to confirm their identity. What she saw, however, was not the backs of that group of Magical Girls but the faces of several juniors.
The juniors had also changed their clothes and were coming out of the changing room.
"Sorry for the wait, let's go back!" Lin Xiaolu waved at Emerald Sparrow.
"Ah... I feel much more comfortable after soaking in the hot spring."
Xia Liang raised both hands behind her head and stretched, "With my body all relaxed, I better hurry back to sleep."
"My head is spinning…"
Bai Jingxuan, who had almost passed out in the hot spring, came walking unsteadily, then very naturally came next to Emerald Sparrow and wrapped her arm around Emerald Sparrow's. Probably because Emerald Sparrow had a lower body temperature, it was cooler to embrace her, so Bai Jingxuan let out a very relaxed breath, "Hah…"
Forget it, let's take the kids back first. That's what Emerald Sparrow thought.
Since it was someone she was familiar with, then she certainly hadn't forgotten their existence. She would first recall which acquaintances would be in Luennolay, and then contact them later.
Having made up her mind, Emerald Sparrow took one more look in the direction of the hot spring before leaving, but by then, that group of Magical Girls had already entered the changing room, and their figures were no longer visible from the outside.
