Arc salt

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

More than a month ago, during the tracking mishap at the shopping center, Xia Liang had dialed "Emerald Sparrow's cellphone" on Lin Yun's person and uncovered some clues.


At that time, Lin Yun, in order to avoid embarrassment and cover up the truth, explained that "he knew Emerald Sparrow, and she had left her phone at his house."


Such an explanation actually had many contradictions behind it, but at the time, his time to think was exceedingly short, and under the urgent circumstances, he couldn't provide a better explanation.


Now, as Xia Liang used almost the same tactic again and asked that question, Emerald Sparrow knew: there was no room for explanation anymore.


Even if she were to deceive with the same rhetoric, saying "Lin Yun left his phone at Emerald Sparrow's house," she couldn't explain the logic behind it: why would she carry someone else's phone?


To cover up one lie, more lies would be needed to fill the gaps; to hide something, one's actions become distorted.
