Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 431 - 80: Deliberately Getting Drunk_2

Previously fond of straightforward self-praise, she later took a liking to the subtle art of Versailles literature; initially, when faced with things she disliked, she would openly criticize, but later she grew fond of being passive-aggressive. Although her underlying confidence hadn’t changed, it made her seem like a completely different person. Find your next adventure on novelbuddy

Regarding Asou Haruka’s series of changes, her then teammate Su Shengzi described it as a "player transformation," even labeling the ambiguously named Magic Armor "Passionate" as "player Magic Armor."

Whether these changes were good or bad was debatable, but what they ultimately brought about was Asou Haruka’s exceptional control over her own Magic Armor.

When a Magic Armor, versatile in both offense and defense, could be used stably in needed situations to deploy the right functions, its utility far exceeded that of a Magic Armor with only a single function.

This was precisely why, during past coordinated operations in Fangting City, Margaret was the person who acted as a lubricant, filling in the last puzzle piece wherever the team fell short, be it in personality or capability.

All of these elements, after converging and undergoing another level of enhancement, had now blossomed into her current state—Judicious Passionate Drunkenness.

"Is this... a bar?"

After a moment of confusion, Yuan Xiang quickly recognized the meaning of the setup before her. Having stayed in Fangting City for two months, she had become familiar with some concepts that were modern in Donghua State and was no longer as perplexed as when she first arrived.

"What, are you offering to buy me a drink?"

Carrying the knife on her shoulder, she nonchalantly walked up to Margaret’s bar, reaching out to grab the stem glass placed in front of the bar: "But you see, I’m used to drinking hard liquor, and I might not be able to appreciate your foreign liquor."

"It doesn’t matter, a visitor is a guest."

Margaret paid no further attention to the wineglass in Yuan Xiang’s hand but instead moved two steps aside and, on the other side of the bar, opened a phonograph.

Soft and melodious jazz music immediately began to flow in this small area.

The gentle saxophone sounds melded with the soft tones of the piano, filling the entire space like flowing water. The music’s rhythm was mellow yet had a captivating rhythmic quality that brought pleasure and relaxation, making one unconsciously nod along or sway with the music.

Almost the instant the music started, the surrounding woods were no longer woods, and the cloud-covered sky was no longer the sky.

The soft warm yellow lighting illuminated the faces of everyone present, and the empty ground somehow became furnished with neatly arranged tables and chairs, seemingly with walls made of real wood enclosing the space, and a faint scent of incense lingering at everyone’s nose.

All the Magical Girls present, upon regaining their senses, found themselves each seated with a stem glass in hand.

Each person’s glass was filled with liquor, and though the color of the liquor in each was different, the only variance might have been the quantities, which were not exactly the same.

In Lin Xiaolu’s hand, for instance, was a nearly overflowing four-color cocktail; Xia Liang’s contained a clear-colored liquor but only half filled; Bai Jingxuan’s held a greenish-black, continuously bubbling liquid.

As for Emerald Sparrow, positioned before her was a particularly delicate glass, carrying a liquid that looked beautifully vast like the sky with white at the base and blue on the surface. However, the liquor in the glass was only a thin layer, appearing almost dry.

Faced with this scene, Emerald Sparrow’s expression flickered, but she quickly resumed her expressionless demeanor, showing no further reaction. However, her reaction didn’t escape everyone’s notice, at least not Hong Siyu’s, who at this moment widened her eyes.

Before anyone else could react, she took her glass and moved to sit next to Emerald Sparrow. Without waiting for Emerald Sparrow to make a move, she lifted her glass high and tilted it over, quickly pouring half of her drink into Emerald Sparrow’s glass.

"What are you..."

Emerald Sparrow’s eyes slightly widened as she immediately grabbed Hong Siyu’s wrist, stopping her just as she was about to continue pouring: "Stop, don’t do anything foolish."

"The one being foolish is obviously you!"

Hong Siyu didn’t let go and, while glaring at Emerald Sparrow, continued trying to pour: "Why, when you’re already in this state, do you still act like it’s nothing serious?"

"Because you could have asked me about the situation first before making your own judgment,"

Emerald Sparrow looked around and noticed Lin Xiaolu was still shocked by the changes in the surroundings and seemingly hadn’t noticed the movement here, so she whispered to Hong Siyu, "Take a look at this wine."

It was then that Hong Siyu paid attention to the change in the wine glass in front of Emerald Sparrow, and then, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes—

The wine liquid she had poured, which was clearly more than half a glass, had thinned into a slim layer in Emerald Sparrow’s glass. Although slightly more than the original deep blue wine, it wasn’t much more.

"Do you understand now?"

Somewhat helplessly sighing, Emerald Sparrow glanced at Hong Siyu, "My state isn’t great, but as a normal Magical Girl, it isn’t as bad as you think. There’s no need for you to do something that diminishes your own combat power."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and poured the wine back into Hong Siyu’s cup.

"...Senior."

At this moment, the previously stunned Hong Siyu finally spoke again.

"What is it?" Since Emerald Sparrow’s gaze was already drifting toward the direction where Yuan was, she asked carelessly.

"You’re amazing!" came Hong Siyu’s slightly excited voice, along with an admiring look.

"...Now is not the time to talk about that,"

Gently pushing away Hong Siyu, who was almost about to embrace her, Emerald Sparrow signaled towards where Yuan and Margaret were, "Keep an eye on the situation over there. When the next stage begins, it will be our turn to act."

The peculiar scenery before them was undoubtedly Margaret’s realm of wonder.

While displaying her flourishing self, she had almost made no reservations in using her realm of wonder as well.

Lights, bar counter, wine glasses, music, and aroma... If it weren’t for the fact that everyone had been on a battlefield just a moment ago, one might think this was a real bar.

And the owner of this bar, who was also the bartender, naturally was Margaret, standing behind the bar with a smile beaming.

Under her watchful eyes, the cocktail that Yuan had taken quickly changed its appearance—the originally clear yellow liquid gradually turned a dark red, even slightly black, and what’s more, the once single-colored liquid now had layers. In an instant, it turned into a dense, multilayered sight, almost uncountable in layers.

"Oh? This is truly..."

Noticing the change in the cocktail in her hands, Yuan first looked puzzled then seemed to understand, nodding her head with interest, "An intriguing realm of wonder. Impressive for one so young."

"No, I should say it’s been quite an eye-opener for me,"

Margaret laughed and shook her head: "This is the first time I’ve seen someone’s true nature materialize like this, with magic power structured in such a way."

"So, you’re using my wine to serve my guests?"

Looking at the liquid in her own glass, Yuan also grinned, "This is the first time I’ve met such a cunning bartender."

"It is the rule of the house, if it is offensive, I hope you’ll understand,"

Meanwhile, Margaret merely bowed slightly, responding elegantly, "The rule here is, with only this cup of wine, you can let your imagination run wild, never worrying about finishing it, but please, no wastage allowed."
