Chapter 31: Anxious Rosemary
“Rosemary, wait a moment, I have something to ask you.”
“Ah? What is it…”
After inquiring about Snake Fang’s news from the director, Xia Mo was feeling a bit anxious about the director’s request as she was about to leave.
Could it be that her actions were so unusual that it aroused the director’s suspicion?
If the director found out about her collaboration with Dark Butterfly, she would definitely face severe criticism, right? After all, they were the enemies opposing her magical girl team.
“Have you been hiding something from us lately?”
Xia Mo’s heart sank. Oh no, the director really found out about her collaboration with Dark Butterfly!
And judging by the director’s incredibly certain tone, she must have obtained irrefutable evidence, just waiting to confront her today.
“No, director, what are you talking about?” Although her heart raced, Xia Mo still wanted to struggle a bit.
Perhaps the director didn’t have complete evidence yet?
The director glared at the purple girl across from her.
A cold sweat trickled down Xia Mo’s forehead.
She really wasn’t good at lying! With the director staring at her like that, her legs began to tremble!
“I know her character; she doesn’t like us and doesn’t want to be involved with us,” the director shook her head and said.
Huh? The director knows Dark Butterfly too? Xia Mo was a bit surprised. From the director’s tone, it sounded like they were old friends…
“You not telling me about her is her request, right?”
Xia Mo silently nodded.
She thought she would face a storm of scolding, but surprisingly, the director’s attitude was quite normal, even… a little supportive?
Could it be that the director had long noticed Dark Butterfly and wanted to pull her into their camp?
Dark Butterfly seemed fierce, but Xia Mo felt that she wasn’t so difficult to get along with. If everyone could unite to fight against the magical beasts, that would be a good thing!
“Well, since it’s her request, I won’t say much. But Rosemary, it’s not a good habit to eat alone, right?” The director stood up and gently patted Xia Mo’s shoulder.
This statement completely stunned Xia Mo. What does eating alone mean?
Does partnering with Dark Butterfly count as eating alone?
“Director, do you mean…”
“Bring Linglan and Siam along too. Since she’s giving you special training, adding two more newcomers shouldn’t matter, right?” The director showed Xia Mo a shrewd smile. “Oh my, I never expected you could persuade Bai Ye to give you special training.”
Senior Bai Ye? Xia Mo’s eyes momentarily blanked.
“Director, you’re talking about Senior Bai Ye?”
“Of course, who else do you think I’m talking about?” The director looked confused. Who else could it be?
Not getting along with their Magic Department, secretly meeting with Rosemary, and having Rosemary keep secrets for her—besides Bai Ye, who else is there?
“It’s nothing, nothing. How did you know I was receiving special training from Senior Bai Ye?” Xia Mo quickly changed the topic.
Fortunately, her relationship with Dark Butterfly had not been exposed.
As long as she stalls for more time, and if she can drive off Snake Fang’s members with Dark Butterfly, they could continue as rivals without the director discovering anything unusual.
“Don’t think the Magic Department’s magical detection equipment is fake. You’ve flown around Xinghai City so many times; the instruments have already captured the magical fluctuations,” the director felt that Xia Mo had a slight misunderstanding of the Magic Department’s capabilities. A magical girl with such strong magical power could easily be detected by even the worst instruments in the Magic Department.
“Oh… I see.”
“Flying around Xinghai City is Bai Ye’s signature training method. Combined with your previous sightings of Bai Ye, I can easily guess that you’ve gotten close to that girl.”
Xia Mo blinked. So flying around Xinghai City really was Senior Bai Ye’s characteristic training method.
She thought Bai Ye was intentionally teasing her.
“Though I don’t know where she has been living it up all these years or why she didn’t tell me, an old friend, when she returned, just having her back is the best news.” The director sighed deeply, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes. “These days, Linglan has also been begging me for special training. I figured since Bai Ye is already training you, bringing a couple more newcomers shouldn’t be an issue.”
After hearing the director’s words, Xia Mo felt as if the director was treating Senior Bai Ye like a tool. What does she mean by “since she’s already training you, adding two more should be fine”?
Although her two juniors were very understanding, training one person and training three people are fundamentally different, right?
“Director, won’t that make Senior Bai Ye unhappy? After all…” Xia Mo quietly expressed her concern.
“Unhappy? Haha, Xiaoxiang, to say something unpleasant, with Bai Ye’s personality, if she found out I’m sending her newcomers, she would be more than happy!” The director crossed her arms and snorted.
“Huh?”
“She’s sharp-tongued but has a soft heart and loves to play pranks, especially on cute juniors.”
Noticing that Xia Mo seemed skeptical, the director chuckled, indicating that Bai Ye wasn’t as righteous as she might seem.
In a sense, Bai Ye was a bit of a mischievous girl.
“Her special training will enhance your abilities, but conversely, during this time, you’ll just be her toys, and she can mess with you however she pleases.”
“She’s even asked me before to lend her some newcomers for fun. I sent a few newbies to train with her for a day, and they came back saying they couldn’t take it anymore.”
At this point, the director’s expression turned helpless. If it weren’t for the urgent need for combat power in Xinghai City, she wouldn’t have set her sights on Bai Ye.
Compared to the gradual training method of the Magic Department, Bai Ye’s devil-like training showed immediate results, but the difficulty level naturally skyrocketed.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the director needed right now.
“So, Rosemary, you go ask Bai Ye if she’s willing to take on a couple more newcomers.”
