Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 569 - 130 Borrowing a Car

A car?

Emerald Sparrow suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came to a halt.

Yes, she did indeed know of a way to get a car: Mo He's car was currently parked in the lot at the entrance of the Colorful Cloud Wetland, and she herself was staying here. Sparrow could possibly ask Mo He to borrow it.

Although this plan came with uncertainties—such as whether Mo He would be willing to lend the car, whether her companions (likely back at the Wetland by now) were approachable people, or whether Mo He might already be asleep—it was still far more reliable than relying on the efficiency of Research Institute staff forwarding her request or gambling on her luck while walking in the Magic-free Zone.

Even if rejected, it wouldn't matter—better to ask before running off blindly, it wouldn't take much time to inquire.

With this thought, Emerald Sparrow adjusted her steps, heading toward the location she remembered Mo He lived in.

As it turned out, her luck wasn't too bad. When she reached the viewing room where Mo He was supposed to be staying, the lights inside were still brightly lit, visible even through the Isolation Technique that scattered visibility.

The fact that Mo He hadn't gone to bed reduced the communication difficulty by half. Sparrow walked forward, tracing a few Favo Runes in the air, which she sent into the receiving device next to the door using a magical technique, and then waited at the entrance.

Having left in such a rush earlier, she hadn't put on the jacket she'd bought earlier that day, leaving her in only a thin shirt. The early spring night wind carried a chill, which she hadn't felt while running, but now the cold began to creep up on her, prompting her to tighten her clothing for warmth.

A short while later, the visual Isolation Technique was lifted, and a figure stepped out from inside the small residence, gradually coming into Sparrow's view.

The figure was a girl with curly brown hair, her apparent age similar to Lin Xiaolu's—or perhaps Mo He's. She was dressed in a cartoon-themed animal-style hooded fleece pajama and had a sleepy expression.

"Who is it?"

She rubbed her eyes as she approached the entrance, her rounded cheeks bearing the faint mark of drool, clearly having been asleep moments ago.

Undoubtedly, the ages of magical girls couldn't be accurately gauged by appearance alone, but this girl held a peculiar, unmistakable childishness—the kind that only truly young magical girls displayed, making her appear as a child.

"Sorry for the late disturbance. May I ask if Mo He is here?"

Guessing internally that this girl might be one of Mo He's juniors, Sparrow politely bowed and asked, "I'm her friend, and I have something to discuss with her."

"Mo He… who?"

The curly-haired girl yawned into her hand, her eyes staring at Sparrow in confusion. "I think you've got the wrong place. I don't know anyone named Mo He."

"You don't?"

The response caught Sparrow off guard, prompting her to instinctively wonder if she had indeed come to the wrong spot. She mentally reviewed the direction she'd gone with Mo He yesterday, but after a moment of recall, she was certain—this was undoubtedly the right location she'd seen before.

So, what was happening now? Did Mo He make a mistake earlier? Had she moved? Changed rooms?

Just as Sparrow was deliberating her next words, another figure appeared behind the curly-haired girl.

But this figure, too, was not Mo He.

This was a taller girl with pale blonde hair so long it nearly reached her knees. A cold expression adorned her sharp eyes, making her seem unapproachable. She was dressed in an elegantly tailored lace nightgown and walked indifferently to the curly-haired girl's side, casting her gaze toward Sparrow.

"Who?" she asked, her slightly hoarse voice cutting in.

Almost instantly upon meeting her gaze, Sparrow felt a discomfort from the girl's piercingly cold golden eyes.

But whether her gaze made Sparrow uneasy wasn't the priority—what mattered was that Sparrow recognized this person.

Heidi Abimele. That was her name, and as a magical girl, her codename was Tulip.

Sparrow knew her name and codename only because twenty years ago, back when Heidi was still a child, Sparrow had seen her—she was the daughter of Stonegarlic, who served as the Commander of the Luennolay City Defense Army.
