Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

Late at night.

"It's getting late, Wu Tina, let me take you back."

Lorraine put out the bonfire. Wu Tina looked at the time and it seemed to be really late. If she didn't go back, her mother would probably scold her.

She nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

"Let's go."

"It's just that this dress... doesn't seem to be dry yet."

"If you don't mind, you can wear my clothes and go home first."

"May I?"

"It's okay. Your clothes aren't dry yet. I can't force you to wear wet clothes."

As Lorraine spoke, she helped her fold the clothes that were not yet dry, neatly, and put them into bags so that she could take them home.

Wu Tina looked at the men's clothes on her body and couldn't help feeling a little shy.

But he didn't say anything more.

"Then I'm not welcome, hehe."

……

Under the starry night sky.

The two of them walked together on the way home. The quiet and peaceful night made people feel at ease.

only--

No one noticed that behind the two of them, there was a black mascot, secretly following them under the protection of magic, with a naughty smile of unknown meaning on the corner of its mouth.

……

When passing by the commercial street.

There happened to be a store window playing a magical girl's cheering animation, and the area around it was filled with all kinds of magical girl-related merchandise, including figures, posters, and pillows. In short, it had everything.

Wu Tina instinctively stopped and stared at the magical girl animation playing on the monitor with shining eyes, revealing an expression of admiration and envy.

Lorraine also stopped.

Seeing her so obsessed, I felt a little funny and helpless, but I didn't say anything. I just stayed by her side quietly, watching her immersed in the envy of the magical girl.

There seemed to be some new magical girl figures in the window, which caught Wu Tina's attention.

She couldn't suppress the look of wanting it so much.

But after searching her empty pockets, Wu Tina had to face the cruel reality.

Woo..., it seems like all this month's pocket money has been spent in advance.

She is penniless now.

But she really wanted it.

"Ugh……"

A sighing sound was heard.

"Do you want it very much?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Lorraine's question, Wu Tina nodded a little embarrassedly, "Although I want it very much, I have already spent all my pocket money this month. If I ask my mother for it, she will definitely not give it to me. So unfortunately, I can only admire it through the glass like this."

"You still like magical girls as always."

"She's cute, cool, and a heroine who fights for justice. Everyone will like this magical girl, right?"

"Hero~"

"Brother Lin doesn't like magical girls?"

"It's not like that anymore."

"There seem to be a lot of boys among the fans of magical girls, but those guys always look at magical girls from an obscene perspective, which is really annoying."

"Haha, he's a man after all."

"Does Brother Lin also look at magical girls in that way?"

"I'm not interested in magical girls."

If you have to say it.

Lorraine only wanted to get that powerful magical power for free, and he was not interested in anything else.

"I wish I could become a magical girl."

Wu Tina fantasized a little foolishly.

"Haha, silly, it's not easy to be a magical girl."

"With the responsibility of protecting everyone, no matter how powerful and evil the enemy is, she will stand up and never retreat or give up. I like magical girls like that the most. I think they are very cool."

"Yeah."

Lorraine did not refute.

I just sighed in my heart.

[Silly child, with great power comes great responsibility. You only see their handsome side when they fight, but you don’t know…their difficult situation of walking on thin ice is risking their lives. The price of failure…may be death.]

He also admires magical girls, but he only wants to gain power for free and does not want to take on that responsibility.

because……

He has no reason to work for others, he just wants to live for himself.

-

Seeing that Wu Tina was really so obsessed with magical girls, Lorraine smiled mysteriously and changed the subject.

"Wutina, can you close your eyes for a moment?"

"Eh?"

"Brother Lin will perform a magic trick for you."

"magic?"

Wu Tina was a little curious and had a lot of questions in her head.

But since Brother Lin said so, it's not impossible for her to cooperate.

After closing your eyes.

Having lost her sight and placed herself in darkness, her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. This feeling of waiting... made her feel a little uneasy, but she was also looking forward to what kind of surprise she would see after opening her eyes.

soon.

She felt her hand being held.

【Eh? ? ? 】

She was a little panicked and her cheeks turned red. She didn't understand what the other party was going to do to her.

Should, should, should..., could he be doing something outrageous secretly to her?

Why is this?

So nervous...

It's too sudden. At least let her be mentally prepared...

-

"Okay, you can open it now."

"Eh?"

None of the treatments she had imagined appeared, and Wu Tina's heart, which had been hanging high, suddenly fell down again.

But there seemed to be something extra in my hand.

Open your eyes and take a look.

It turned out to be a big gift box.

"Brother Lin, this is..."

she asked curiously.

"You'll know when you open it. Consider it a thank you gift for working with me today."

"Thank you gift or something..., haha..., there's no need for that."

Although she said so, Wu Tina's body honestly opened the gift box.

In an instant.

Three lifelike wooden figurines of magical girls suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Wow!!! Brother Lin, this, this, this...what is this?"

She was pleasantly surprised, her eyes full of surprise.

Because the three wooden figures in front of me are not only painted, but also have subtle changes in the characters' expressions, smooth lines in their clothes, and a realistic feeling that seems to jump out of the frame at any time...

so perfect.

Absolutely impeccable!

the most important is……

These three wooden sculptures are exactly the same in shape as the latest series of magical girl figures currently on sale in the window.

-

"Oh oh oh!"

Wu Tina looked at the gift in her hand and almost jumped for joy.

Lorraine asked with a smile.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"This figurine... could it be... that you, Brother Lin, made it yourself?"

"It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect."

"Incredible, this is carved out of wood by hand?"

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't have much money, so I can only give you this gift in this way."

"How long does it take to complete such an exquisite wood carving?"

"It didn't take long. It probably only took about half a month."

"Incredible! - Brother Lin, you actually have such a skill, it's amazing."

"Haha, as long as you like it."

"So this was made just for me?"

"I happened to see you staring at a pre-sale poster of a figurine on the street before, so I thought of this way to reward you."

Although in Lorraine's opinion, this was just a very insignificant little gift.

But Wu Tina's inner joy at this moment had already completely overflowed.

So happy...

I am so happy...

-

"Brother Lin, you said you don't like magical girls, but the magical girl you carved with your own hands turned out to be so cute and beautiful."

"I don't like magical girls. I just know that doing this might make you happier."

"I will cherish it!"

"As long as you like it."

"Let's keep going, Brother Lin."

"You won't watch it a little longer?"

"Well, because I already have something better."

Wu Tina hugged the three magical girl wooden figures tightly in her arms, with a happy smile...

It shines so brightly under the street lights at night.

Pure and innocent.
