Chapter 4 – Unknown call
Chapter 4 – Unknown call
Lin Yun and An Ya are childhood friends.
They have been in the same class since they were very young and have become friends. An Ya is a lively and playful girl, so gender has not become an obstacle to their friendship. They have a very good relationship and are inseparable.
Later, as they grew up and entered adolescence, they began to realize the difference in their genders and their interaction became somewhat strange. Also, because they went to different schools after graduation, their relationship started to become distant.
Until one day, something happened that brought An Ya back into Lin Yun's life and turned everything upside down.
-An Ya became a magical girl.
She saved Lin Yun and the people around him from a sudden crisis and appeared before him like a resolute angel.
Powerful, persevering, beautiful.
The childhood playmate became unattainable, and the girl who used to be a tomboy in his memory was so different, even making him feel a little unfamiliar.
But An Ya was happy because she felt that she had a friend she could share secrets with, and this friend was her childhood friend who had become somewhat distant. The two of them became close again, killing two birds with one stone.
But being a magical girl is not an easy role. The number of brutal beasts in the city is increasing, becoming stronger and stronger, until one day, An Ya is no longer able to cope with the continuous enemies.
At that time, Lin Yun stepped forward, and thus, he also became a magical girl.
Later on, they encountered more companions and experienced more dangerous battles, but they persisted and eventually became heroes who saved the city.
In the end, Lin Yun, now an adult, gave up the power and identity of a magical girl and returned to an ordinary life.
It should have been ordinary, but it wasn't that ordinary after all, because his wife is a magical girl.
He married An Ya.@@@@
The two of them live a loving life, raising a cute daughter and enjoying the joy of family. Everything is as it should be. The hero who saved others from crisis has retired and returned to a peaceful and happy life.
It was supposed to be like this.
"But it should have been..."
In the crowded and busy morning, Lin Yun was squeezed in the crowd of the subway, looking out of the window with a numb face as usual.
It has been a week since he found out that his daughter became a magical girl.
Perhaps it was because he sincerely expressed his feelings that night after a long time, Lin Yun felt that the atmosphere between him and Lin Xiaolu had improved a little bit. At least when they were together at home, their daughter would symbolically glance at him instead of completely ignoring him like when their relationship was at its worst, treating him as if he were air.
In this way, it can be considered as a small step towards repairing their father-daughter relationship.

Whether he had lost his power, or no longer qualified to be a Magical Girl, or for some other reason, none of these mattered anymore.
During this period, another Brutal Beast appeared in the city. Fortunately, Lin Xiaolu eliminated it without much trouble, and the subsequent damage was kept to a minimum.
The only thing that surprised Lin Yun was that unlike the previous television interview, the media's response to this Brutal Beast attack was sparse.
He didn't know whether it was due to the changing times, and the Bureau of Special Tactics of this era had started to take a low-key approach, or people's focus had shifted. In any case, although the appearance of Brutal Beasts in the city had become somewhat frequent, and there was a new Magical Girl, it didn't spark widespread discussion.
The previous television interview also sank like a stone after it was broadcast. Even the videos he found online were quickly replaced by new content on the television station's official website.
In his time as a Magical Girl, both the media and the public loved to put Magical Girls at the center of discussion.
With a myriad of thoughts in his heart, Lin Yun followed the crowd to the company and started another day of work.
The tasks were still familiar and tedious, but perhaps his mindset had changed, and he felt that his previous anxiety had been greatly reduced.
He was busy until noon. After finishing his work meal, Lin Yun, who was sitting in the office dealing with unfinished paperwork, suddenly received a phone call.
The incoming call displayed a strange number.
Although he didn't know who it was, he still pressed the answer key and put the phone to his ear:
"Hello?"
All he got was a busy tone.
Frowning slightly, Lin Yun waited for two seconds and asked again:
"Hello? Who is this?"
"...Be careful."
"What did you say?"
"Shh"
"Hello?"
"Be careful of the Brutal Beast tonight."
A single sentence made Lin Yun's eyes widen.
"What do you mean? Who are you?"
He couldn't help but ask, but after only saying this, there was no more sound on the other end of the call.
Soon, the "shh" noise turned into the busy tone of a disconnected call.
