Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 543 - 109: Memorial Cemetery_4
And now, it was past midday, nearly afternoon.
Feeling the vibration of a phone in her crossbody bag, Emerald Sparrow opened it and rummaged through to find it—not "Emerald Sparrow's phone," but "Lin Yun's phone."
Who could be looking for her under this identity at this time? Was there something from the Abnormal Strategy Bureau? Thinking this, Emerald Sparrow unlocked the screen and quickly glanced at the information in the chat app.
Most of the messages were from several direct department heads reporting work to her and some temporary requests from employees. Emerald Sparrow read them one by one, giving directions, until she scrolled to the top of the message bar and discovered the message that had caused the phone to vibrate.
[Lin Xiaolu: [Picture]]
[Lin Xiaolu: I've officially checked in at the Magic Kingdom, everything's going smoothly. [Keep it up]]
Upon opening the message, Emerald Sparrow saw the picture Lin Xiaolu had sent. It was a selfie of Lin Xiaolu and two others at the reception of the Exam Institute, and although their expressions were quite unnatural, clearly posed, one could still tell they were in good spirits.
This was what Lin Xiaolu had promised Lin Yun before leaving Fangting City—to send a message every few days as much as possible, explaining her recent situation. Clearly, Lin Xiaolu hadn't forgotten this and sent Lin Yun a message after completing the check-in.
As for Emerald Sparrow's phone, it seems that because she said last night she was busy with a mission, they didn't send messages to disturb her.
Staring at this message for a while, Emerald Sparrow pondered and typed into the message bar, "Dad saw it, prepare well and strive for good results," and after a moment of hesitation, she somewhat reluctantly added a [Rose] emoji at the end.
It shouldn't seem too frivolous, right?
Thinking so, she clicked send, and then put the phone back in her bag.
"Next... I should really find some time to change clothes. It's a bit too conspicuous to keep wearing this outfit."
Feeling the occasional gaze from passersby, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Having just checked in, Lin Xiaolu and her companions likely wouldn't return to the hotel immediately but would play around in the Luennolay Academy District instead. In fact, most of the check-in procedures could be completed online, and the final step of identity confirmation could also be resolved remotely with a Magic Technique. However, according to Lin Xiaolu's peculiar principle of "not wanting to use technological means in the Magic Kingdom," the three still chose to check in on-site and take the opportunity to tour the academy district.
With this in mind, there was no point in her heading back to the hotel right now. Instead of rushing back, she might as well walk around outside and think about what kind of explanation she should give for her mysteriously shortened stature? Or should she bluff her way through, pretending nothing happened?
With these complex thoughts, Emerald Sparrow wandered along the street, occasionally accepting the sample chocolates handed to her by roadside merchants, chewing on this bitter-sweet treat as she continued on.
But when she received a chocolate at a dessert shop at a street corner, she simply said "Thank you" and immediately received the clerk's comment, "Haha, little sister, you're so cute," followed by another exquisitely boxed chocolate pushed into her hand.
"Here's two for you, you can give one to someone you like."
"Thank you." Emerald Sparrow thanked again, unashamedly unwrapping one of the chocolates and popping it into her mouth. After savoring it a while, she gave a genuine compliment:
"Very sweet, very tasty."
"Hehe, thank you for the praise, glad you like it," the clerk said, quite pleased.
Just as Emerald Sparrow was about to put the remaining chocolate in her crossbody bag to take away, she stepped forward but then turned back as if remembering something, asking, "Is your shop around here?"
"Huh? Yes, just down that alley, less than 20 meters from here," the clerk pointed to the side.
"How much for a box?"
"It's a bit expensive, after all, it's handmade by us, so it's 20 laws per box."
The clerk stated a price that was equivalent to 100 yuan in the Material Realm.
"Alright, give me three boxes." Emerald Sparrow gestured with her hand.
"Wow! Big sale!"
The clerk was immediately rejoicing and ushered Emerald Sparrow into the dessert shop to start packaging the chocolates.

The dessert shop was small in overall size, located in an alley, so the shape of the building was a bit awkward, but the overall decoration was quite tasteful. With wooden furniture as the main household style, coupled with warm yellow lighting, it gave off a very relaxed and cozy atmosphere.
While the clerk was busy packaging, Emerald Sparrow didn't idle away. She took a round in the dessert shop to see if there were any other desserts worth buying to take back as gifts for the youngsters. However, after looking around, besides a variety of chocolates with different flavors, most were baked goods, not quite suitable for snacking. Although there were some local desserts of the Kingdom, Emerald Sparrow hadn't tried them, so she wasn't sure about their tastes.
As she was meandering through the shop, she spotted a very special product in a thermal cabinet.
Qi Yun Cake—this was the name of the product, a unique pastry of the Kingdom. Its signature feature is its almost non-existent color, completely transparent, resembling a large block of glass, but once taken into the mouth, it proved to be incredibly soft, chewy, and sweet.
