Lin Yun, 36 years old, a widower, a mid-level manager in a private enterprise, is a single father, who has recently felt that he is encountering a mid-life crisis.
Professionally, he faced adversity; domestically, he was in a cold war with his 14-year-old daughter; physically, he suffered from periarthritis and spoke daily of his agony.
In the past few days, he had also uncovered a secret — his daughter was being a "Magic" girl.
With the body of a young maiden, she battled extraordinary monsters and protected the city from attacks — this is the common perception of a "Magic" girl.
But he was very aware that being a "Magic" girl came with life-threatening dangers.
Should he stop her, or respect his daughter’s choice and find other ways to protect her?
Gazing at the Heart Flower in his wardrobe, now covered in dust, Lin Yun, the former "Magic" girl who retired 19 years ago, was facing the third major decision of his life.

Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

At nightfall, Lin Yun walked out of the office building, feeling listless. He gazed at the bustling streets, turned around, and, as always, started his journey home.


He walked through the sparsely populated residential streets, wandered around the commercial area near the light rail station, avoiding the hands of skimpily clad women reaching out from the crowd, and stopped in front of a shopping plaza.


The brightly lit expanse of the building made him feel as if he were in a different world.


The conversation with Hong Siyu that morning seemed to echo in his ears, and about whether to resign and fully return to the path of the Magical Girl, he had preliminarily made a decision:


—Finish the monthly summary meeting and take care of a few tasks at hand, then he could apply for resignation.


Before leaving, he even made a special trip to the general manager's office. He mentioned the resignation, negotiated the handover of his tasks, and then left the company.
