Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 525 - 106 Colorful Cloud Wetland
In the cool evening weather of Luennolay,
Lofty clouds overlapped in a disarray, mostly hiding the remaining sunlight; a gentle breeze caressed the vegetation, and the clear air was refreshing.
Sitting in a magic-guided carriage driven by a fairy, Emerald Sparrow looked at the orange-red sky, her previously unsettled mind finally settling down.
The carriage traveled over the blue-stone road of the Magic-free Zone, which was flanked by comparatively low residential houses as it was passing through a residential area.
The styles of these houses resembled the western-style houses of the Material Realm, mainly in white, red, and blue tones. However, unlike those in the Material Realm, since magical devices were used during construction, these houses had unique and diverse appearances, some even defying physical laws, making one wonder if they were dreaming.
Along the way, they also saw a shop built over a pond, which deliberately used only two wooden poles to support the structure to avoid damaging the natural ecology of the pond, and a spiral staircase that turned into an arch bridge halfway linked the shop with the ground...
All sorts of bizarre and intriguing buildings brought some spirit back to the nearly despondent Lin Xiaolu. She didn't know when she had sat up, hands on the armrests, quietly gazing out at the scenery passing by, unblinking.
Xia Liang was taking photos; Bai Jingxuan, being hungry, leaned against Emerald Sparrow and fell asleep; the carriage, which should have been rather noisy, was unexpectedly quiet.
"We're almost there, bosses, you can already see the place you're headed to."
The fairy driver upfront mumbled a slew of peculiar syllables, which didn't sound like any language used in the Material Realm, but the Magical Girls on the carriage understood him, "How was your ride? Let me know if you have any discomforts, I'll listen and make sure to leave me a good review."
The Magic-free Zone restricts the use of magic by people, but that doesn't mean there is no magic at all—various Magic Techniques still affect this land, including "Mutual Understanding," a technique solving language barriers.
After all, the local residents mostly use the Kingdom's language, some fairies from small communities use Fairy language, plus people from the Material Realm have dozens to hundreds of languages based on different regions... It would really be inconvenient without such assisting techniques.
The magic-guided carriage left the Magic-free Zone via a small road and stopped next to a seldom-visited grassland; then came the prompt from the fairy driver:
"We've arrived."

Those awake looked out of the carriage, only to see a field softly swaying in the twilight, and a signboard written in various languages standing amidst:
[Takeoff Spot 43]
Apart from that, there was only the group of travelers and their carriage, nothing else.
"So, where are we? I thought we were going to find a place to stay?"
Jumping down from the carriage, Lin Xiaolu looked back at Emerald Sparrow with some confusion, "Why is there nothing here?"
"Maybe there's a secret passage, or it's a Blind Eye Technique?" Xia Liang, who had run up to the signboard on the grassland and took a selfie, analyzed somewhat seriously:
"Considering the sign says it's a takeoff point… could there be Floating Airships or hot air balloons coming to pick us up later?"
"There's no such thing."
After paying the fairy driver, Emerald Sparrow, leading a groggy Bai Jingxuan, walked up to the sign, "So, let's move forward. We still have quite a distance to our lodging."
"Uh, you mean..." Lin Xiaolu seemed to have thought of something, her eyes twitching, "Don't tell me we have to fly there ourselves?"
"What else?"
Emerald Sparrow looked at her curiously, while conjuring a Magic Wand with one hand, "This takeoff point doesn't prohibit the use of magic, so instead of using a transport, isn't it faster to fly ourselves?"
"That's true, but..."
Lin Xiaolu opened her mouth but ultimately didn't continue arguing, instead sighing resignedly, and summoned her Magic Wand, "Sigh, I feel like a peasant entering the city from a period drama, foolishly expecting this place to be a dreamy Fairyland."
"You mentioned Fairyland?" Since she hadn't clearly heard the conversation between Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang at the border, this was the first time Emerald Sparrow heard the specifics of Lin Xiaolu's sigh.
"Yeah, one of those places, like a fairyland described in storybooks or animation, beautifully delicate and cozy..."
Lin Xiaolu looked distressed, "But now I just feel like I've come to a city that's more developed than Fangting City and just happens to have a different architectural style."
"Oh, if you're looking for that kind of scenery, we should be getting close," Emerald Sparrow blinked in surprise.
"Eh?"
"Is that what you asked? Fairyland?"
Emerald Sparrow pointed up at the sky, "The Emerald District is just above."
...
...
"Wow! Oh! Woo! Yaaa!"
Half an hour later, Emerald District, Colorful Cloud Wetland.
Lying on the cloud bed which felt like a mattress, Lin Xiaolu rolled around making all sorts of bizarre noises as if she had gone crazy.
