Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 345 - 46: The Top Star on the Stage

Fangting City, at the entrance of "Green Tower" Sports Stadium, a large crowd was gathering.

It was the afternoon, and the faint sunlight in the clear sky took away some of the chill lingering around people, who were filled with fervent passion, apparently waiting for something.

The "Green Tower" got its name because there was a viewing tower opposite the main venue. At night, the top of the viewing tower would emit a pale green neon glow, adding a lively atmosphere to the venue.

This was the largest performance venue in Fangting City. In the past, countless famous artists had performed here, and it had also carried the enthusiasm and expectations of numerous audiences. Today was no exception.

Jiang Yuan, wrapped in a thick down jacket, with half of her face tucked into the scarf around her neck, looked from a distance like a chubby penguin. She stood on the outskirts of the crowd, constantly glancing toward the nearby road, trying to find the figure she wanted to see.

And soon, she saw the person she was waiting for.

Lin Xiaolu, who was late, appeared in her field of vision.

Pulling out her hand from her pocket, she started to raise it, subconsciously wanting to greet her friend as usual, but the words that hadn’t left her mouth got stuck halfway, as if frozen in the frost.

Because there were a few people she did not recognize following behind Lin Xiaolu.

Of course, they were not completely strangers; at least one of them, a pretty girl named Xia Liang, had a brief encounter with her. She vaguely remembered that Xia Liang was a student from another class of the same grade, who earlier had a reputation as a bad girl, but seemed rather quiet lately and even occasionally could be seen among the top ranks in exams.

She knew that Lin Xiaolu had a good relationship with Xia Liang. However, Lin Xiaolu seemed to intentionally avoid this topic and never discussed anything related to Xia Liang in front of others. Over time, she stopped being curious about it, respecting each individual’s freedom to choose their friends.

And now, Lin Xiaolu had gone out with Xia Liang?

Besides Xia Liang, there were two other figures who caught her attention: they were two girls who looked quite young, probably still in elementary school. One was wearing a medical eye patch and had a bob haircut, looking very quiet, while the other had long blue hair and a somewhat cold expression, resembling a noble lady from a fantasy story.

Are they all Lin Xiaolu’s friends? No, does Lin Xiaolu actually have so many friends?

Feeling her understanding being profoundly challenged, Jiang Yuan’s extended hand froze in midair, as if it had turned into an ice sculpture in the cold weather, motionless.

In contrast to her surprise, Lin Xiaolu seemed pleased when she saw Jiang Yuan. She briskly walked up to her, greeted Jiang Yuan, then turned around to introduce the several girls behind her, "This is my friend. I had an appointment to come to the concert with her."

Though she didn’t understand the situation, since Lin Xiaolu had already introduced them, Jiang Yuan couldn’t keep silent and followed up, "Hello, I’m Jiang Yuan."

"I see," said the girl with the blue hair, scrutinizing Jiang Yuan for a moment with a measuring gaze before uttering a somewhat baffling comment, "That’s nice."

"Hello, I’m Xia Liang."

"I am Bai Jingxuan."

The other two greeted her cordially.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Yuan, who was slightly coming back to her senses, quietly asked Lin Xiaolu for confirmation, "Um, Xiaolu, who are they?"

"Ah, they are... are my friends?" Lin Xiaolu replied hesitantly, her eyes sweeping over the three, "You should know Xia Liang, she is in our grade. As for the other two..."

"They are my relatives," Xia Liang said with a smile, at ease, "Sorry to disturb you two. I was here to see the concert with them, but we ran into Xiaolu on the way, so we just walked together."

"Relatives?"

Tilting her head at the two girls who looked nothing like Xia Liang, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, filled with doubt, but ultimately accepted the explanation, as it was none of her business, and nodded, "Alright... so you happened to come this way together?"

"Yes, that’s right."

Xia Liang nodded with an innocent face and a touch of friendliness in her smile, "I didn’t know before, but it turns out you are also fans of Mari’s music!"

"Mari" was the nickname for the singer Asou Haruka at this concert. Fans affectionately referred to her as "Mari." Although they did not know the origin of the nickname, as a commonly accepted appellation, no one questioned its legitimacy.

Because the nickname had no logical connection to the singer’s stage name, fans often used it to identify each other. Those who called her "Mari" might not be hardcore fans, but only an insider would bypass her stage name.

Therefore, when Xia Liang mentioned "Mari," the tension mixed with unfamiliarity in Jiang Yuan’s demeanor softened considerably. It manifested as a sigh of relief and a more relaxed expression.

"That isn’t strange, is it?"

Blinking, Jiang Yuan half-jokingly said, "Given Mari’s popularity, if you look around the crowd, maybe you’ll find other classmates too."
