Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

——"Of course, that's because I don't want to go back!"

A voice interjected from the side, taking over Bai Ji's words, only to see Mu Baihe slapping the table and striding over with a grim force: "I've told you all, you're just on vacation in Fangting City, but I have my own matters to attend to! Now that you've had your fun, you want to drag me back, but I'm not done with my business yet, why should I go back with you?"

"Then tell me, what exactly is it that you need to do?"

Mu Baihe spoke in a harsh tone, and Bai Ji was immediately ignited with anger: "You're always as mysterious as a riddle, always saying you have matters when asked, and refusing to tell if pressed further. You skip training for days and disappear when there's an event. You say we're here on vacation? You're the most undisciplined one on the team!"

"I've told you, it's my personal affair. I can tell you all once it's really accomplished," Mu Baihe declared, puffing with anger.

"If you won't tell, then come back with me," Bai Ji insisted.

"I won't, I won't go back!" Mu Baihe continued to resist.

——"Well, that's how it became what you saw."

Asou Haruka, standing off to the side, looked towards Emerald Sparrow and spread her hands: "It's an argument, after all. Once you start getting angry, you tally up both new grudges and old grievances. Any old trivial matter can be dredged up for debate. There's no way I could mediate."

"This..."

As a mature adult, Emerald Sparrow could only come up with the words "childish" to describe the content of the argument between Bai Ji and Mu Baihe, yet her position did not allow her to simply drop those words and leave. Instead, she had to contemplate how to resolve this now overt conflict.

Although she had the right to decide, as the host, to have Mu Baihe stay, as Bai Ji had previously stated, the team from Bai'an City was after all a unit.

The other two wanting Mu Baihe to leave with them wasn't out of ill will, and Mu Baihe herself couldn't give a convincing reason to stay. Under such circumstances, her forced intervention could seem like meddling.

This is probably why Asou Haruka had no desire to intervene and only waited for the two to argue to a conclusion.

After much thought, Emerald Sparrow couldn't come up with a proposal that was fair and respectful to both parties. Hearing that Lin Xiaolu was already hungry enough to have a growling stomach, in the end, she could only sit down in her seat and awkwardly change the subject:

"Let's defer this discussion for later, after dinner."

With that, Bai Ji and Mu Baihe were finally silenced.

At the dinner table, while contemplating how to mediate the conflict between Bai Ji and Mu Baihe, Emerald Sparrow dealt with Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan repeatedly passing dishes to and fro, feeling befuddled. And she hadn't anticipated that for such a menial issue, she could not think of any good solutions.

The turning point of the matter would eventually come the following morning.

Although the students were still on holiday, the adults had already returned to their workplaces early, and the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, as a special agency, was no exception. As the director, Lin Yun had to go to work as usual the next day, still facing a countless number of field and administrative issues.

While he was busy with documents and phone calls, the office door of the Director's Office was suddenly knocked on.

As if by muscle memory, his left hand lifted, and his fingers brushed the air to sense for abnormalities. After confirming there were none, Lin Yun responded: "Come in."

As the words fell, the door to the Director's Office was pushed open, and a male staff member from the intelligence department entered with a serious face: "Excuse the interruption, Director. There's been an incident of a magical attack just now in the bureau. I need to report it to you."

"An attack?"

Lin Yun raised his head, arched an eyebrow: "Who was it? A civilian magician? Or has some gray magic organization caused trouble again?"

He didn't even consider that it could be Black Ash Dawn, because they certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to come to the Abnormal Strategy Bureau and cause trouble in broad daylight.

During the few months since he had taken office, his relentless crackdown on Black Ash Dawn had yielded remarkable results. Not only had he uprooted all known powers of Black Ash Dawn, both visible and hidden, but he had virtually eliminated all remaining "moth" forces within Ting City.

Only a few Black Ash Dawn moles remained in Fangting City, all kept as bait for enforcement. Those left were weak in power, insignificant to the overarching battle, and not a single member of the Court Front Ash Army and higher ranked Ash Guards had been spared.

So, upon hearing that an incident had happened in the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, his first thought was some self-overestimating civilian magician was causing a disturbance.

"No, it's not a magician, nor is it an attack of such malice... or perhaps saying it's an attack isn't quite accurate as the perpetrator's primary intent seemed to be theft."

The male staff member replied: "It's just that the thief tried to destroy the scene while trying to escape after being discovered, and the identity was a bit special, so we thought it necessary to report to you."

Hearing this, Lin Yun's face exhibited a mix of expressions, sensing a familiar scenario he had encountered not long ago, where the next words from the other party seemed somewhat predictable.

"Let me guess."

He put down the pen in his hand, tapping his fingers on the desk: "You're not going to tell me that the thief is a Magical Girl, are you?"

Then, he saw the staff member in front of him widen his eyes, then nod admiringly:

"...Yes, Director, you are wise."
