This was also why Hong Siyu seemed so leisurely. Plus, her current position as a liaison officer was merely to relay the requests between Magical Girls and the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, which made her job even more leisurely.If Lin Yun truly needed to find another job, this seemingly leisurely liaison officer position was definitely worth considering.
Indecisive at the moment, Emerald Sparrow did not give an immediate response but casually promised, "I know."
"Also, if you really plan to come, remember to complete the recruitment registration before the end of this month," Hong Siyu continued to remind, "Even though you don't have to participate in next month's joint recruitment exams like the others, registration is still required."
"Hmm, I'll consider it," Emerald Sparrow replied.
The handover work ended with the voice of Emerald Sparrow.
Without any complicated procedures and with help from the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, the ownership of the villa was effortlessly transferred to Fangting City's Magical Girl squad.
Afterward, there was much cleanup work related to the secret base, and when the first weekend after school started arrived, the Magical Girl squad finally settled into their secret base.

Walking into the entryway, Bai Jingxuan, who was dragging her suitcase, almost subconsciously exclaimed, "Can we really live here?"
"Of course, you can, you could even take two rooms to yourself if you wish,"
Behind her, dragging several large suitcases, was Xia Liang, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the villa, now brightly lit in anticipation of their arrival.
Looking from the entryway into the house, one could easily see the decor: the design was based on large expanses of white walls, complemented with black and grey home furnishings, giving off a fresh and simple style.
The spacious and bright living room connected to the dining room and kitchen, making the entire space appear even more expansive. In the center of the living room was a set of black leather sofas and a glass coffee table, surrounded by minimalist decorations.
A huge television screen hung on the wall, sliding patio doors opposite the entryway led to the backyard, and the LED strip lights on the ceiling bathed the interior in a soft and warm light, reflecting a construction style that was simple and practical yet modern.
As the members of the squad entered one after another, even Morko, shouting, "I want my own room too," dashed in. Emerald Sparrow and Lin Xiaolu, shoulder to shoulder, were the last to step through the villa's grand entrance.
"Feeling a bit nervous because it's a new place?"
Seeing the tense expression on Lin Xiaolu's face, Emerald Sparrow turned with concern and said, "If you're not comfortable, you don't have to stay over right away. It might be better to spend a few days getting used to the environment first."
Emerald Sparrow was well aware that her daughter was very shy.
Not only was she wary and distant with strangers, but she would also get nervous in unfamiliar places. When they traveled as a family of three, she couldn't sleep in hotels, indicating she was very sensitive to new sleeping environments.
That was precisely why, while the other members of the squad explored the house with ample curiosity and enthusiasm, she hung back nervously.
And when Emerald Sparrow asked her the question, Lin Xiaolu first looked as if she was considering it but then quickly shook her head and replied, "I can do this, no need."
Staying over with the squad at the secret base was also something she had been looking forward to. She believed that she could overcome her anxiety about unfamiliar environments if she was with everyone else.
Furthermore, she felt that she could muster more courage with Emerald Sparrow by her side: she aimed to prove to her mother that she wasn't as childish anymore.
Only by shedding the image of a child in Emerald Sparrow's eyes could she one day stand beside her properly, becoming a partner capable of fighting alongside her.
Sneaking a glance at Emerald Sparrow, Lin Xiaolu mustered up courage secretly and then started to settle her luggage as well.
Even though she moved into the secret base like this, she still felt somewhat concerned for her dad who stayed home alone, but staying overnight with the squad in the secret base was also something she had been looking forward to these days.
Before leaving home, harboring subtle guilt towards her recently reconciled dad, Lin Xiaolu had promised Lin Yun: she would send a text message every day while staying out to ensure her safety.
The girls and Fairies darted around the house, then gathered in the living room for a heated discussion. Finally, they settled the allocation of rooms in the villa:
Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, and Bai Jingxuan would stay on the second floor, Emerald Sparrow and Morko on the third floor, while the fourth floor remained vacant for the time being, to be utilized if needed in the future.
The reason for this arrangement was naturally the result of a dispute between Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang.
First, Lin Xiaolu took the initiative, stating that she wanted to live next to Emerald Sparrow; then Xia Liang also requested to live next to Emerald Sparrow. The two did not want to isolate Bai Jingxuan, the youngest, on a different floor, so they began to persuade each other to move to the third floor.

This meaningless argument continued for dozens of minutes while they reasoned through various excuses as to why the other should live on a separate floor. In the end, once all concocted reasons were exhausted and there was nothing left to say, the dispute degraded to the level of a primary school quarrel.
