Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 57 – After lunch
Lin Yun, who had never expected it before, spent his originally planned wedding anniversary alone with nostalgia and sentimentality, but it turned into a family trip with two children, full of noise and quarrels.
Standing alone at the counter, listening to the salesperson's endless explanation, it turned into a lively conversation between three people and the salesperson.
Although Lin Yun was not good at communication, he could accurately convey his requirements; Lin Xiaolu didn't like to communicate with people, but her cute appearance and playful personality made people unable to resist teasing her; Xia Liang was the most talkative one, always able to make the salesperson happy and quickly establish a connection.
The shopping process became easy and enjoyable.
During this time, some people misunderstood and thought they were a family, praising Lin Yun, "Your two daughters are very cute." Lin Yun had to make some simple explanations, Xia Liang seemed quite happy, but Lin Xiaolu had a stern face, not looking angry, but no one knew what emotions she was feeling.
They walked through many stores and finally found a suitable gift in a jewelry store called "Shi Kui Qi".
It was a crystal necklace, with a silver chain and a pendant made of pink crystal, which was cut into a shape resembling a cherry blossom and surrounded by a gold border, giving it a fresh and beautiful look.
Lin Xiaolu liked this piece of jewelry very much, but couldn't explain why; Xia Liang thought the style was a bit old-fashioned but didn't say anything because of the atmosphere. In the end, Lin Yun made the decision himself and bought the item.
There was no other reason, just because of the cherry blossom pendant.
When he saw this crystal cherry blossom, he felt as if a voice in his heart was telling him, "This is it."
So, the three of them decided on the gift and went to other floors to continue shopping. Lin Yun suggested buying clothes for Lin Xiaolu, but she refused. In the end, they followed Xia Liang's suggestion and went to the cinema together.
After watching a popcorn movie, when they walked out of the theater, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them chose a trendy tea restaurant as their lunch spot.
Lin Yun pretended to be an ordinary parent, while Xia Liang pretended to be Lin Xiaolu's studious classmate. Both of them knew that they were hiding something from each other, but they maintained their respective roles and had half-true, half-fake conversations. Lin Xiaolu, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but doze off.

Halfway through lunch, when it was almost two o'clock, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from a distance.
"Boom!"

It was like the sound of a collapsing building, overpowering the hustle and bustle of the entire shopping mall.
Under the loud noise, people first fell into silence, then became confused, and soon panic ensued.
The customers in the restaurant became restless. Some took out their phones to try to contact the outside world, while others immediately left the restaurant to observe the source of the sound.
Amidst the chaos, only the table where the man and two girls were sitting remained surprisingly calm.
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Liang, we need to move quickly!"
In a perspective that ordinary people couldn't perceive, Mo Ke shouted with a serious tone, "I can feel that there is a Brutal Beast nearby!"
It thought its discreet shout was heard clearly by the other three present.
In fact, even if it didn't say anything, the three of them had similar guesses about the cause of the rumbling sound—it should be a Brutal Beast.
However, at this critical moment, none of them could express their thoughts.
Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang still thought that Lin Yun was just an ordinary person, at most knowing something about the magical side and even knowing that their daughter was a Magical Girl. But the thin veil between them had not been pierced yet, and now suddenly bringing up the magical side made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The reason for Lin Yun's silence was even simpler because he was thinking about how much he should know about the Magical Girl as someone with the identity of "Lin Yun".
Time was pressing, although it came unexpectedly, the Brutal Beast had already appeared. It was not acceptable for the only three Magical Girls in Fangting City to sit together at this dining table.
Next, not only the two newcomers in front of him needed to go into battle, but he also had to find a reason to leave and transform into Cui Que to go to the scene, protecting them from the powerful Brutal Beast.
So, should he be the one to bring up this topic?
Looking at the two girls in front of him, who were also hesitant to speak, he had to make a decision.
Since he discovered Lin Xiaolu following him in the morning, he had realized that at least some truths could no longer be hidden.
The fact that he knew Hong Siyu was already known to them, so he couldn't find a reason not to know about the Magical Girl.
However, should he admit here that he already knew about their identities as Magical Girls?
After some thought, he felt that there might be a better way.
But first, he needed to find a reason to explain why he knew about the Brutal Beast attack.
Silently, he took out his phone from his pocket, fiddled with it for a while, and entered the message interface. After waiting for a moment, a notification from the Bureau of Special Tactics was indeed sent to his phone.
Since the Brutal Beast attack occurred in a bustling area like a shopping center with a high flow of people, there were many witnesses, and the response from the Bureau of Special Tactics was indeed fast. Just a few seconds after the loud noise, notifications were sent to the phones of all city residents, reminding them to avoid this location and those who were there to evacuate as soon as possible.
As a result, the other customers in the restaurant finally realized what had happened. Many people stood up in panic and began to flee the restaurant.
"A Brutal Beast? That's dangerous!"
He frowned, handed the notification on his phone to the girls, and pretended to be nervous: "It seems we can't stay here any longer, let's leave immediately!"
To show that he was really nervous, he didn't give the two girls time to respond. He picked up his coat from the seat, stood up along the edge of the table, and waved: "Ask the waiter if there are any other exits in the restaurant, the main entrance is already blocked!"
His plan was actually quite simple: to rush into the crowd outside with the two girls, then pretend to get separated, thereby giving them enough space to act, and he could also find a place to secretly undergo Transformation.
In the meantime, he would call Lin Xiaolu's number twice with Lin Yun's phone to show concern, and after dealing with the Brutal Beast, he would contact them again, saying that they got separated, and arrange a place to meet up.
In this way, both parties don't need to reveal each other's identities, and there would be enough room for explanation if anything seemed off afterwards.
However, the two girls didn't know his plan.
When facing a Brutal Beast attack, their self-identification as Magical Girls made it impossible for them to choose to flee.
So even after hearing his words, they still sat in their seats, their expressions somewhat complex.
