Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 352 - 48: In the Spotlight

```

"Fate’s encounter?"

"I and she?"

The laconic girl’s abrupt comment, like a stone provoking a thousand ripples, left both Lin Xiaolu and the blonde girl astonished, followed by a mutual, inexplicable gaze.

Looking at the somewhat familiar blonde girl in front of her, Lin Xiaolu initially shook her head subconsciously, denying the ludicrous suggestion in her mind; just as she was about to say something, a wave of vigorous applause and cheers suddenly erupted from the nearby venue.

The noisy sounds interrupted the exchange between the girls and drew their attention, causing them to shift their gaze together towards the crossroad of the corridors and the wide-open doors of the grand venue.

Approaching the entrance, Lin Xiaolu peeked curiously into the venue, first scanning the crowd cloaked in darkness, then focusing on the stage under the spotlight. To her surprise, standing on stage was a figure that appeared somewhat familiar:

—It was Emerald Sparrow.

...

...

Emerald Sparrow was called to the stage under the guise of "please have the lucky audience member speak" after receiving the head flower.

If possible, she didn’t want to receive this somewhat abrupt gift under the watchful eyes of all, let alone put herself under the spotlight for such an odd reason. Unfortunately, by the time she realized this may have been a premeditated act by Asou Haruka, it was already too late.

The moment she received the head flower, she became the focus of the surrounding audience, with everyone wanting to confirm the true face of this "lucky one."

And when it became apparent that the recipient of the head flower seemed to be a youthful girl, some in the crowd began to tease, asking Emerald Sparrow if they could have a look, others inquiring whether Emerald Sparrow would exchange the head flower for a bag of candy... Driven by the heated atmosphere of the concert, enthusiastic fans swarmed around, even frightening Bai Jingxuan standing by.

As the situation appeared to spiral out of control, Asou Haruka, having finished the previous performance on stage, neither continued to sing nor exited to prepare for the next act. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Emerald Sparrow’s location, opening her mouth with a bright smile:

"Thank you all for coming to my performance today; this is my first time holding a concert in Fangting City of Donghua State. I never expected Fangting to be such an enthusiastic city; honestly, I feel rather overwhelmed!"

"It so happens that I see the little fan who caught the head flower below the stage seems very excited. If you have something you wish to say, let’s welcome her to the stage!"

Upon these words, the fans below the stage responded with timely cheers, and even those who had tried to coax away the head flower had to abandon their schemes, reluctantly applauding instead.

The only one, the center of the topic, the "little fan" who received the head flower, slightly parted her lips in disbelief.

"Excited"? When had she ever displayed such an emotion?

She had no idea what Asou Haruka was planning now, but she knew all too well that this "diva" on stage—who seemed radiant—was often out of tune, having been her teammate for many years.

If truly asked to affix a character label for each former teammate from Fangting City’s team, the one for Asou Haruka would undoubtedly be "confident," or rather "self-centered."

An event that could make her happy or sufficiently benefit her, even if it might trouble others, Asou Haruka would not hesitate to choose her own joy first.

Unlike Su Shengzi from the same team, who also acted independently but was immersed in her own world to the point of disregarding outside opinions, Asou Haruka’s actions were a matter of simple obstinacy after weighing the pros and cons.

For this reason, Emerald Sparrow now struggled to guess what Asou Haruka was truly concocting.

But with the arrow on the string and being called out in such a situation, she saw no way to dodge. Eventually, under the slightly anxious gaze of Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang, she took to the stage, with her eyelids drooping, to face Asou Haruka.

Standing under the slightly dazzling spotlight, Emerald Sparrow slightly lifted her hand to block the light from above and looked at the woman in front of her: after a dozen years, she once again saw her old friend up close.

However, at this moment, Margaret was not looking at Emerald Sparrow but was still holding the microphone, smiling and interacting with the audience downstage.

Following her gaze towards the audience below, Emerald Sparrow saw the dense crowd; the thunderous roar continually assaulted the stage, and in the night, the gathering at the venue resembled a black tide washing over this isolated island. Merely standing here could probably make some timid individuals’ legs go weak.

And among those fans nearest to the stage, whose faces Emerald Sparrow could discern, they were now looking at her with eager eyes, their gazes filled with a mixture of envy and expectation.

Was she being treated as a representative of the fans?

Emerald Sparrow couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Clearly, these fans were expecting her to express their warm welcomes and affections, and a series of fervent emotions on behalf of "Fangting City’s fans."

Unfortunately, although Emerald Sparrow was standing here, she couldn’t really consider herself a fan or admirer; if one were to measure a fan’s adoration for "Mari," Emerald Sparrow would probably have to stand at the very back of the line.
