Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"Weave of Fate" was a very weak magical equipment.

This was once the consensus of the Magical Girl squad in old Fangting City.

As the equipment obtained by Emerald Sparrow when she was just a bud, Weave of Fate initially was nothing but a cluster of seemingly pointless Magic Power Lines. Few in number and lacking in tenacity, even when used to entangle an enemy, it appeared incredibly frail.

At that time, whenever she faced a formidable enemy with her companions, while they all drew out their own magical equipment, Emerald Sparrow could only wield those sparse threads, taking on the tasks of harassment and meat shield.

For this reason, during the early stages of her life as a Magical Girl, Emerald Sparrow never relied on her magical equipment to fight.

This did not mean she gave up on developing her magical equipment. After all, it was a common understanding that a Magical Girl's equipment would evolve as she grew.

And as the saying goes, hard work pays off. Weave of Fate indeed underwent evolution. The first time was when Emerald Sparrow turned 15, at the time of her awakening to the rank of bud and her initiation into her own Wonder, her magical equipment inexplicably gained a pair of small tailoring scissors.

These scissors were excessively tiny, so initially, Emerald Sparrow didn't realize what their purpose was, thinking them like her threads, needing time to grow.

But after months of waiting, she finally discovered that the scissors seemed to retain that form permanently. After several attempts, she also discovered their true use—they must be used in conjunction with the threads.

It seemed that due to this discovery, she soon achieved the third form of Weave of Fate—a ruler.

Threads, scissors, a ruler—the combination sounded like a sewing kit but when combined, they exhibited a powerful combat force beyond anyone's imagination. Hence, at that time, Emerald Sparrow, even at the level of a bud, could challenge Remnant Beasts far surpassing the strength of an ordinary bud and even emerge victorious.

However, even so, the abilities of a bud have their limits, while the strength of the enemies did not.

When she was 16, during the defense battle of the Magic Kingdom's garden, Emerald Sparrow encountered an unprecedentedly strong enemy. Her entire escort squad was caught in a grueling battle, many members were on the brink of death, and the center of wisdom of the Magic Kingdom—Luennolay—was at the edge of being breached.

In that battle, for the first time, Emerald Sparrow used a technique that should not have been used.

It was a technique that, it was said, every Magical Girl could only use once in their life and that would inevitably result in their True Form shattering and possibly even death upon use.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Emerald Sparrow used it, and she defeated the strong enemy.

She even survived, but the cost was her own True Form and magical equipment—her scissors were nearly ruined, becoming almost unusable.

It's just a minor injury, Emerald Sparrow told herself. She even achieved another Awakening afterwards, officially stepping into the level of a flower.

She continued to be active as a Magical Girl, fighting.

Although due to the impact of the garden defense battle, she voluntarily distanced herself from the power center of the Magic Kingdom, it didn't stop her from still having a heart for battle.

So, when she was 17, during the year known as the "Great Calamity, Great Celebration," a beast calamity like none seen in a century erupted in the physical realm. The Magical Girl team of Fangting City encountered terrifying Remnant Beasts that none of them together could repel.

When she saw her companions in danger, despite some hesitation, Emerald Sparrow once again used that forbidden technique.

She became very strong, gaining power far beyond the ordinary. She won again, and even accomplishing such a feat, she still did not die. But the cost yet again was her magical equipment—her ruler shattered.

Unlike the scissors, the ruler couldn't even retain its shape, turning into a pile of rubble, completely disappearing from the world.

What followed was extreme side effects: The Heart's Gem cracked, her True Form became flawed, her abilities as a Magical Girl significantly degraded, using a relatively larger amount of magic power would cause severe headaches, further damaging the Heart's Gem, and what should have been an effortlessly wielded Wonder became a tremendous burden.

Participating in the battles of the Fangting City squad in such a state, she had become a drag.

Even though she had earned the honor of a lifetime Magical Girl in the kingdom, even though the royal court had once invited her to become the final Gemstone Scepter, in the world of magic, without power and the ability to fight, all honors were mere empty talk.

Thus, disregarding her teammates' objections, Emerald Sparrow chose to retire.

Her teammates had all become stronger than her, and An Ya was improving at a pace of leaps and bounds each day; there was no longer anyone who she needed to help, no one she needed to protect.

She was also very tired, having fought valiantly for three years, defeating unprecedented strong foes, and saving cities in peril… She felt her brief career as a Magical Girl had made a sufficient contribution, and thus, it seemed fitting to put a full stop to it.

In comic book stories, heroes always live happily ever after saving the world, and the world is so vast it won't stop spinning for the lack of anyone. The retirement of a Magical Girl would not have that profound of an impact.

She once thought that way.

—"But no, that's not how it is."

Emerald Sparrow closed her eyes slightly: "Life is not a comic book story, I am not a hero from the stories, I wasn't able to truly solve problems, it was but self-satisfaction for my own endeavors."

Since the day he learned of An Ya's death, he who was now just Lin Yun, was consumed by guilt, always blaming himself.
