Chapter 12 The Magical Girl Will Appear in Time
“Have you not fought before?”
“I was careless. I definitely won’t make such a mistake next time.”
After the deep night settled, Luo Shuangyue took out her phone and began to report today’s events to Monise.
The news that the Dark Butterfly had lost to the Magical Girl Rosemary and was overwhelmed by the brilliant Magic Cannon had spread throughout all the evil organizations in Xinghai City, becoming a hot topic of discussion among various fiends.
In response, Monise, the notorious genius scientist and leader of Polar Night, expressed her dissatisfaction with the defeat of Dark Butterfly, saying that they must have lost all face…
Cough, cough. In short, Monise was very displeased with Luo Shuangyue’s loss. How could a budding magical girl lose to an injured budding flower? That was just too embarrassing!
Polar Night is a well-known organization in Xinghai City and even the whole world. With you, the second-in-command, crashing like this, Monise would surely face ridicule when communicating with other organization leaders in the future.
“I at least tied with her one-on-one. Look at others; their records are much worse than mine!” Luo Shuangyue defended herself.
Yes, she admitted that her loss was a bit ugly, but she had won once before.
In contrast, other villains in Xinghai City had never won against Rosemary even once, so in comparison, Dark Butterfly had the most glorious record.
Monise pondered for a long time and realized that Luo Shuangyue wasn’t entirely wrong; other fiends indeed hadn’t won against Rosemary.
Alright then, this time consider it as Dark Butterfly passing.
“How’s your condition? If needed, you can come to the base for treatment.”
Go for treatment at Polar Night’s base? Luo Shuangyue hesitated and quickly typed ‘no’ in the chat box.
She thought her body was fine now and didn’t want to undergo treatment only to end up with some bizarre things added to her body.
After all, Monise’s favorite thing was to modify people with some strange pieces of equipment, such as Jiuye’s cat ears and tail, which were Monise’s handiwork.
“My injuries aren’t severe, no need to worry.”
“Alright, bring Jiuye with you for the transaction in four days.”
Luo Shuangyue held her phone, her face flashing a mix of suspicion and shock. No, sister, I just got blasted by a magical girl!
Even though I say I’m fine, you can’t actually think I’m fine!
“…Can I take back my words?”
“The item for the transaction is the Sealing Card left by Bai Ye. Are you really not going?”
“No, I want to go! I’m in great shape!”
Luo Shuangyue joined Polar Night to obtain the Sealing Cards left by her mother. Even if she had to crawl out of bed half-paralyzed in four days, she was determined to get that card.
There was no choice; it was left by her biological mother!
Just when Luo Shuangyue was considering what preparations to make for this trip, a pair of light golden eyes suddenly lit up behind her.
“Brother~ What did I tell you, hmm?” Luo Shuangxing’s deep voice rang in Luo Shuangyue’s ear.
Luo Shuangyue instantly froze, feeling a chill on her neck as if the Grim Reaper’s scythe was resting on her.
Quickly switching off her phone screen, she turned to her sister with a guilty smile, “It’s work-related, just understand.”
Luo Shuangxing, hands on her hips, showed a mix of helplessness and irritation. Though she was touched that her brother cared about work late at night, she wanted him to focus on his health first.
“Rest well, and I’ll return your phone in the morning.” Withdrawing the phone from Luo Shuangyue’s hand, Luo Shuangxing firmly pushed her ‘older brother’ down, tucked her under the covers, and then frowned slightly.
Now that both the older brother and sister were sick, she, the healthy one, had to take on the responsibility!
Forcing her reluctant brother to rest properly was her duty.
On the other side of the tent, Xia Mo made a soft moan, prompting Luo Shuangxing to quickly signal for silence to Luo Shuangyue, “Shh, don’t wake sister Xia Mo.”
Today, Xia Mo had fallen asleep very early and was fast asleep, as if she had exhausted all her energy somewhere.
Luo Shuangxing thought it was the fatigue from the day’s sheltering that had drained the already weak Xia Mo, entirely unaware of other possibilities.
As for Luo Shuangyue, she knew what was going on, but she didn’t dare to speak.
She gave her sister an ‘OK’ hand signal and obediently closed her eyes.
Though her sister could be quite silly at times, she was still dependable in critical moments.
Once her eyes were shut, a deep sleepiness quickly engulfed Luo Shuangyue. In truth, her condition was not better than Xia Mo’s.
Just like Xia Mo, who was drained by the overwhelming Magic Cannon, so too was Luo Shuangyue exhausted from escaping under the blinding light.
In fact, she was worse off than Xia Mo; at least Xia Mo could sleep well after winning, while she was still being chased by the Magic Cannon in her dreams.
That night, Luo Shuangyue’s sleep was incredibly tormenting.
When she was awakened the next morning by her sister’s shaking, she found her underwear completely soaked through with the cold sweat she had sweated during the night.
Luo Shuangxing, with a fried dough stick in her mouth, poked Luo Shuangyue’s chest with her finger, sounding puzzled, “Bro, did you have a nightmare?”
Swatting her sister’s wandering hand away, Luo Shuangyue said unkindly, “I was being chased and killed by magical beasts in my dream, and no magical girl came to save me. How scary is that?”
Having just experienced an attack from magical beasts the day before, Luo Shuangyue’s explanation seemed reasonable, and both Luo Shuangxing and Xia Mo had no suspicion.
“If it was Shuangyue being chased by magical beasts, I believe the magical girl would definitely appear in time to save her,” Xia Mo added with a smile that shone with sweetness.
Luo Shuangyue instinctively averted her eyes; she wasn’t foolish and could clearly hear the implication in Xia Mo’s words.
But she would rather the magical girl not appear at that time.
“That’s right! The magical girl wouldn’t just sit by and watch citizens being chased by evil magical beasts!” Luo Shuangxing chimed in, fervently waving her little fists.
What does this little kid have to do with anything? Luo Shuangyue rolled her eyes. At least Xia Mo was a magical girl and had a say in this matter; you’re not a magical girl, so why are you joining the fun?
Seeing the disbelieving and slightly disdainful expression on her brother’s face, Luo Shuangxing felt underestimated.
“Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?” Puffing up her cheeks, Luo Shuangxing glared at her brother like a little white hamster, her face showing a look that read, ‘If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’ll bite you to death today.’
“Well, it’s fine if you didn’t say anything wrong, right? My little star is always right~”
“Look at him, sister Xia Mo! He doesn’t believe in magical girls at all. Such a man is absolutely not suitable to be entrusted for life!” Luo Shuangxing looked at Xia Mo with a pitiful expression, determined to attack from another angle.
“Little sister, you’re going too far!”
