Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 88 – Autograph
"…Director Liu."
Seeing Director Liu Wenqin's topic gradually deviating, Cui Que had to remind her: "This is not part of the scheduled conversation."
"Oh, sorry, because it's my first time seeing a magical girl up close, I had a few extra thoughts," Liu Wenqin stopped and smiled apologetically. "I've asked what I wanted to ask, let's get back to the main topic."
After calming down the excessive conversation, Director Liu Wenqin flipped through a stack of files on the desk and pulled out a dozen or so forms bound together, handing them to Cui Que.
Taking the small stack of files with some doubt, Cui Que briefly looked through them and discovered that they were Bai Jingxuan's medical report and various documents and proofs from before she was taken in by the welfare home.
The documents provided detailed and official descriptions of Bai Jingxuan's experiences, the reasons for her entry into the welfare home, and her current status.
Gently gripping the papers, Cui Que remained silent, just silently reading through the documents.
From the documents, she learned many things, such as Bai Jingxuan's innate strange illness, her loss of parents and eyes in the brutal beast attack, and the fact that she had been waiting for adoption at the welfare home for three years with no one coming forward.
Cui Que didn't consider herself to be someone who was overflowing with sympathy, but she possessed the basic empathy of an adult. Holding such information, she felt a heavy weight in her hands.
The brutal beast attacks were never just a light and airy statistic. Despite the magical girls and the Bureau of Special Tactics being responsible for maintaining the city's safety, there were still casualties.
Each casualty was just a number on paper, but behind it often meant a shattered family.
"This child, Xiaoxuan, I have been watching her situation all along, and I often hear the caregivers talk about her. I can only say that her situation is indeed… special," Director Liu Wenqin added from behind the desk as she saw Cui Que reading through the files.
Seeing Cui Que lower her head to read the files, Director Liu Wenqin continued, "Her parents died in a brutal beast attack accident, and her life has become very difficult since then. Although her behavior is usually very normal, we are also not sure if what she shows is her true feelings."
"If in the past, these things were considered accidents that ordinary people couldn't fathom, then after becoming a magical girl and gaining the ability to defeat and kill brutal beasts, I am very worried about what emotions she may be harboring."
"She has always been very quiet and sensible, and precisely because of this, everyone is even more worried. How much hatred she may have towards the brutal beasts, and how this hatred may affect her, these are things I cannot predict or control."
"In our place, the care the caregivers can provide for her is ultimately limited. No one is willing to adopt her, so she may always lack a mentor to guide her in her future life."
"But, Miss Cui Que, if it's you, who has saved this city before… I believe you can guide her onto the right path."
"Not just to make her a magical girl like you, but more importantly, to guide her out of her emotions and gain a new perspective on the world."
Director Liu Wenqin's words were sincere.
Not only as the director of the welfare home, but also as an elder, these words were her genuine concerns for Bai Jingxuan.
"I will," Cui Que replied calmly and earnestly as she raised her head from the documents to look at Director Liu Wenqin.
With Mo Ke's help, Bai Jingxuan had become a magical girl, a member of the Fangting City Magical Girl Team, and now and in the future, she would be Little Lu's partner. Whether out of sympathy or as a responsibility of a senior magical girl, she had no reason not to properly nurture her.
Knowing her experiences and status from Director Liu Wenqin, it would be easier for her to teach according to her aptitude and help her grow.
With that, the purpose of this conversation had been achieved.
But when Cui Que finished reading the documents and expressed her gratitude, Director Liu Wenqin suddenly lowered her voice, as if speaking in a whisper:
"I heard from the Bureau of Special Tactics staff that after this incident, I will gradually forget these things without any negative effects."
"So, I will probably forget that Xiaoxuan became a magical girl, and I will forget that I saw you as well, right?"
"So, I still want to sincerely thank you. I express gratitude on behalf of everyone at this welfare home, and I wish you all success in your future work."
She said this, hesitated slightly, and then with a somewhat embarrassed smile, she opened the notebook on the desk and took out a bookmark, handing it to Cui Que:
"Although it's for my daughter's request, could you please give me an autograph?"Looking at the bookmark she handed over, Cui Que picked up a pen. There wasn't much she could do in response, so all she could say was "Thank you."
With a somewhat complicated feeling, she wrote the words "Cornflower" on the bookmark and bid farewell to Liu Wenqin behind the desk. After leaving the office, she turned back and saw Liu Wenqin sitting there, waving calmly and smiling at her.

She showed a very open-minded attitude towards the fact that she was about to forget the related experiences. But both Cui Que and she knew that even if they met again, they would only be strangers.
Perhaps forgetting all this and returning to peace is the safest choice for most ordinary people.

On the way home, Lin Yun sat on the subway, looking out the window at the street scene, lost in thought.
The actions of the Bureau of Special Tactics were quick. It had only been a day, and the streets around the welfare home had been mostly repaired, with only a few corners still fenced off for safety.
And although he hadn't gone back to the company to check, he knew that the repair of the office building wouldn't take long. The spell formulas of the magic users were far superior in this kind of work than ordinary construction units.
So much had happened in the past two days, so he had always maintained a tense state of mind. As the work on the events came to an end, he relaxed and began to plan for what was to come.
He had officially resigned from Gao Sheng Company, which was why he could leisurely go to the welfare home on a weekday morning. However, after resigning, he hadn't decided whether he should just "stay at home" or find a job with no substance and income.
Although he would act as Cui Que during the day, as a father, Lin Yun felt that he shouldn't tell Little Lu that he had quit his job. After all, not having a job was something that greatly affected the image of a middle-aged man.
He was still undecided whether to conceal his resignation or find a job with no substance and income. And with his resignation, Little Lu and her friends' summer vacation was still ongoing. After officially taking over the guidance, he also needed to consider how to train them.
Bai Jingxuan, orphan, disabled, deviant.
These key words flashed in Lin Yun's mind, forcing him to seriously consider the education issues that lay ahead.
"At any rate, I should talk to her first."
