Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 375 - 59: Reunion, Like a Dream_2

```

"Hmm... even so..."

Hong Siyu also cooperatively made a troubled expression, "I’ll convince myself it’s okay, men who focus on their work are also very charming..."

"Alright, you two should give it a rest."

Lin Yun, with drooping eyelids, clapped his hands, "Hong Siyu, stop egging on Asou, we’ve finally come together again, shouldn’t we be exchanging information first?"

"Ah, here it comes, the standard official talk," Asou Haruka snickered, "It’s fine if you want to change the subject, but by doing so, you might miss out on some interesting things. For example, do you know what Hong Siyu told me when you weren’t here? She was like..."

Before Lin Yun could even start to wonder, Hong Siyu lunged over from the side, stepped forward, and covered her mouth from behind: "Nothing at all! I just thought it was a senior coming to the office so I called out the wrong name. I was just surprised to see it was actually Yuan Xiang!"

"Mmmph?" Asou Haruka tried to shake her head to break free, but Hong Siyu at this moment was completely undignified, latching onto her back like an octopus with no chance of being shaken off.

"Ha... so it was just the embarrassment of calling out the wrong name?"

Seeing the strange behavior of the two, Lin Yun guessed there was probably more to the story. He remembered the tense cold war scene he witnessed when coming up from the Special Operations Department downstairs. The two were sitting on opposite sofas, staring at each other, yet neither one of them spoke, "Was it really worth being as stiff as what I saw when I entered, just because of that?"

"Heh, I just made some suggestions for improvement, it seems that Hong Siyu just had some difficulty accepting them," Asou Haruka said with a chuckle, finally prying Hong Siyu’s hand from her face, "But alright, since you really don’t want me to say it, I won’t."

"Tactics that haven’t been truly brought out yet definitely can’t be revealed here..."

Hong Siyu murmured behind her head, "Anyway, stop talking about this, hurry up and move the topic along."

"Okay, okay, as you wish, sister."

Asou Haruka shrugged, "Then let’s talk about it, the ’serious business’ our great Director Lin keeps mentioning."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow at her words but was already accustomed to Asou Haruka’s insinuations, so he refrained from retorting.

The previously somewhat noisy Director’s Office suddenly fell silent.

"From which matter shall we start? Your side or mine?"

Asou Haruka looked at Lin Yun, then at Hong Siyu, "For example, do you have any questions about the Magic Kingdom? I’ve spent the last ten years there, I probably know more recent news than you. But let me clarify first, a lot of what I know is based on hearsay and not personally verified, so don’t blame me if there are inaccuracies."

"What is Su Shengzi doing right now?" Lin Yun bluntly asked.

Of the five members of the old Fangting City team, apart from An Ya and Su Shengzi, the remaining three were already gathered here. An Ya aside, the absence of the fifth person inevitably aroused some concern.

Moreover, that fifth person was none other than Su Shengzi.

At some point, a saying began to circulate among the Magical Girls: A successful Magical Girl team often consists of the following members: a mascot full of energy, a high and mighty combatant, a mature peacemaker, and a troublemaker with loose screws.

This formula, applied to the old Fangting City team, might have some variations for the other members, but in Su Shengzi’s case, it was a perfect match.

—She was the troublemaker with loose screws.

As long as Su Shengzi was there, the squad would argue every day over some inexplicably bizarre topics and would always strive for some strange goals, not knowing how much energy was wasted in vain.

The most memorable occasion for Lin Yun was when Su Shengzi specially researched an instant spell technique to solidify Remnant Beast corpses for a summer spirit-exploring activity. She processed the severed Remnant Beast corpses into materials for adventures, ultimately scaring Hong Siyu into the hospital.

Indeed, Su Shengzi was also the smartest one in the squad. Though her magic power and magical equipment quality were not outstanding either, her perception and research abilities in spell techniques were unparalleled. She could even create some original, minor spell techniques based on the existing system of spells. The technique to solidify Remnant Beast corpses was her own creation.

Such a research talent was naturally favored by magical girl seniors from all over the Magic Kingdom. In fact, the first person in the squad to converse with Molu was not Lin Yun, but Su Shengzi. Explore stories at novelbuddy

According to what Su Shengzi herself said, after Molu scrutinized a few of her questions, Molu personally extended an olive branch, inviting her to join the Research Institute and even promising to handle her card within ten years. However, Su Shengzi didn’t even think before rejecting such a tempting offer.

"I only research what I am interested in, and I don’t want to be bossed around by the royals of the court,"

That was Su Shengzi’s explanation.

And in the end, she truly lived up to her words. After serving for ten years, she retired without hesitation. After retiring, she left Fangting City and her presence completely vanished from Lin Yun’s life.

At this moment, aside from her and An Ya, all the other members had already returned, but without such a troublemaker, it indeed felt like something was missing.

"That woman... hey, don’t you know?"

Upon mentioning this, Asou Haruka suddenly sighed, "She went off to the Interrealm by herself."

"...Huh?" Lin Yun took several seconds to process what the other person was saying. Nearby, Hong Siyu also widened her eyes in shock upon hearing those words.

The Interrealm, a world independent of both the Magic Kingdom and the material world, has always been regarded as the epitome of "a barbaric land" because of its extremely unstable spatial connection with the other two worlds and its very unstable structure. There have even been rumors claiming that the Interrealm is the origin of the Remnant Beasts.

Black Ash Dawn, Claw Mark, and a series of anti-kingdom organizations such as the rebels are deeply entrenched there, virtually turning the place into their main base, a veritable crime paradise. For magical girls, it was nothing less than a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den.

And Su Shengzi, a magical girl who had retired and thus completely lost her power, had chosen to go to the Interrealm alone?

"Moreover, the fact is, the last time I contacted her was nine years ago, which coincides with the time she retired and left Fangting City. I don’t know much more than you do. I only heard her say she was going to the Interrealm for a ’journey to find herself,’"

Asou Haruka chuckled dryly, "And then, I never could reach her again."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but to ordinary people, going to the Interrealm alone and then disappearing without a trace would generally be assumed to mean death.

But that person was Su Shengzi.

Just as Lin Yun always found it hard to believe and feel that An Ya was dead, Su Shengzi was also someone who seemed to have nothing to do with the phrase "seeking one’s own death."

Her actions, no matter how bizarre or abnormal, seemed to have her own plan.

So, combining her love for researching and developing spell techniques, her easy renunciation of magical girl powers, her various rebellious remarks expressing disdain for the court royals, and her seemingly extraordinary curiosity about the Remnant Beasts, a very strange idea came to Lin Yun’s mind.

"...Listening to you say that, could that guy have possibly gone to join Claw Mark?"
