Seeing that the youngest child wasn't adversely affected by this incident, Erald Sparrow felt a slight relief. She turned her face back toward the girls who had made the mistake, "In any case, don't let this happen again. I will transfer money to you tomorrow for buying books, and I hope you'll keep your word this ti."
"I'll delete the ga right away."
Lin Xiaolu furrowed her brows and wiped the corner of her eyes, "I won't ever spend money in gas again."
"I won't spend recklessly anymore, I promise."
Xia Liang raised her hand and looked up, "But about Xiaolu's ga, maybe there's no need to hurry to delete it? Mobile gas usually have refund options, and there are reasons like minor's impulsive spending, so I think it might be possible to get a refund."
Lin Xiaolu nodded her head, "Then, let's get the refund first..."
"Stop. Hold it right there."
Erald Sparrow tapped lightly on the table twice and waved her other hand, "I'm not that heartless or so extre that I don't want you to touch gas at all. Just like Xiaojin made her hair, I can't possibly straighten your curled tips; Bai i, the sa goes for you, since you've spent money in the ga, that ans there's sothing in the ga you wanted? The money's already been spent, so just keep playing."
"But, playing gas isn't good in the first place," Lin Xiaolu complained with a tone of discontent.
"So you need to play in moderation and manage your ti well."
Erald Sparrow raised a finger, "Also, I have another requirent, which is to let see the ga you are playing. I need to know what ga makes you want to spend money; and to ensure that the content is appropriate for your age."
Actually, this was her real purpose. Rather than criticizing her daughter for spending money in gas, she was more curious to know why her daughter felt compelled to spend money in gas.
Although Lin Yun had played gas in his youth, he mostly went to arcades with his friends or played cooperative party gas. He had barely played any long-term online gas.
Lin Yun also understood that in today's material world, gas are an inevitable part of the growth process for young people. Although many parents view them as a scourge, his approach was more open-minded. He figured it was better to guide rather than block; instead of strictly guarding against it and ultimately causing his child to feel resentful at school or to play in secret, it was better to really understand what the child liked and then manage it openly and reasonably.
However, until now, Lin Xiaolu had never shown much interest in gas, mostly imrsing herself in animated TV programs. Now that her daughter was unexpectedly found playing a ga and even spending money on it, Erald Sparrow was quite curious about the reason.
"Then I might as well delete the ga..." Lin Xiaolu mumbled quietly.
"Hmm?" Erald Sparrow humd as a reminder.
"...Alright, I'll show you," Lin Xiaolu reluctantly took out her phone.
Once she took her daughter's phone, Erald Sparrow imdiately saw the icon for "Magical Girl Squad" at the bottom of the screen, clearing a third of her doubts.
She knew about her daughter's long-standing fascination and persistence with "Magical Girls," having talked about this with Lin Xiaolu on a walk ho one evening. If it was a ga about magical girls, it surely could attract her daughter.
Opening the ga interface, she took a serious look at the art style and found a fresh, picture book style. The magical girls in the ga seed to be decently dressed, without any overly indecent outfits, and her subconscious approval rose a bit more.
But when she opened the character compendium and skimd over the preview images of the magical girls in the ga, her movents slowed, and eventually, she stopped at a few characters.
"This ga..."
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "It used real-life magical girls as prototypes?"
"That's our guess."
Lin Xiaolu didn't want to speak, so Xia Liang explained on her behalf, "After all, we even saw a magical girl who looks a bit like Senior Sakura."
"Which one?" Erald Sparrow asked.
"Nad Dawn Grass," Xia Liang replied succinctly.
Without noticing Lin Xiaolu's expression, which was as if she wanted to burrow underground, Erald Sparrow scrolled through the character compendium and found the one labeled "Dawn Grass."
As soon as she opened the character portrait and heard the character's lines and greetings, her expression beca sowhat stunned.
"Is this the character you wanted?"
She couldn't help asking Lin Xiaolu, "Did you spend money in the ga because you saw her?"
"...Yes." Lin Xiaolu nodded.
Erald Sparrow's expression imdiately turned complex.
It was a mixture of emotions that no one could clearly discern. Even a child as observant as Xia Liang couldn't fully understand it.
"I understand."
After a mont, Erald Sparrow handed the phone back to Lin Xiaolu, "I agree then, think of this money as pocket money I'm giving you."
"Giving ... pocket money?"
Surprised, Lin Xiaolu looked up, "Is that really okay?"
"Think of it as a gift from an adult," Erald Sparrow touched the back of the phone gently, "A gift for the many days of patrolling."
"——So what is it like? I've never seen Senior Sakura in person, so it's only you, Xiaolu, who knows. Does it really resemble her?"
Curious about their conversation, Xia Liang joined in by Erald Sparrow's side, "Or did they just borrow the na?"
