Chapter 36: My Fabrication
On this day, when Luo Shuangyue returned home, she was surprised to find that the girl lying on the sofa had changed from Xia Mo to her own little sister.
Originally, Xia Mo was supposed to be the one lying down, but instead, she was taking care of Luo Shuangxing, who was whimpering on the sofa.
After throwing her backpack filled with clothes into her room, Luo Shuangyue walked confusedly to the sofa and asked her sister, “Is it your period? I thought it wasn’t around this time.”
Luo Shuangxing groaned and gave her older brother a weak glare. At the end of the day, this was all your fault, you jerk!
She was now one hundred percent sure that her older brother’s boss was none other than Senior Bai Ye, or that there was some deep connection between her brother and Bai Ye.
That training plan was practically identical!
It was clearly designed to push people to their limits, wasn’t it?
“It’s not my period; Shuangxing is just really tired,” Xia Mo quickly explained, having taken care of Luo Shuangxing for quite a while.
She wasn’t as exhausted as she had been a few days ago; the physical condition of a magical girl allowed her to rapidly adapt to the intensity of the training. Additionally, today Bai Ye’s attention was somewhat diverted by her two juniors, so the pressure on her wasn’t as heavy as before.
Compared to a few days ago, when she could barely walk due to fatigue, today she was just a little tired, like someone who had run a thousand meters—it was tiring, but a couple of deep breaths and a short break could almost restore her energy.
She even had extra energy to take care of the truly exhausted Luo Shuangxing.
“Tired?” Luo Shuangyue was even more confused. Her sister wasn’t an athletic type; how could she be this tired?
What could she possibly have done?
It couldn’t be that she suddenly decided to run laps around the track, could it?
“I just tried that thing you wrote, and it’s really not something a person can handle!” Luo Shuangxing buried her head in her arms, expressing her frustration.
Could you consider the feelings of those undergoing the training when you were drafting the plan? Do you realize that the intensity of the training has exceeded what an average person can endure?
Luo Shuangyue suddenly understood; this was the root of it.
She remembered that not long ago, Luo Shuangxing had taken a copy of her training plan, originally thinking that her sister would give up after seeing the inhumane training regimen. She hadn’t expected her sister to be so courageous and actually start practicing according to the plan.
Unfortunately, that thing was meant for magical girls; how could a small girl like her, who couldn’t even fight a chicken, withstand it?
Luo Shuangyue really hadn’t considered things from other angles, such as the fact that among the three magical girls she was training, one of them was actually her sister.
What a coincidence!
It was one thing for one of the magical girls to be her childhood sweetheart, but to have another be her sister? How incredibly lucky could she be?
Impossible, my sister can absolutely not be a magical girl!
Look at how embarrassing Luo Shuangxing is; where could she possibly connect with a magical girl? No shame or purity, with someone like her wanting to be a magical girl?
“You really tried it? I just wrote it for fun…”
You wrote it for fun, but someone took it seriously! Luo Shuangxing lifted her head, looking at her brother with a deeply resentful gaze.
In Luo Shuangyue’s view, his sister’s gaze was saying, “You only let me know it was just a joke after I finished practicing; you really deserve to die.”
Stared at by such a look, Luo Shuangyue felt somewhat guilty.
“Ahem, I’ll go make dinner first.”
In a battle of thirty-six stratagems, retreating is the best strategy!
Watching Luo Shuangyue hurriedly escape, Xia Mo felt both amused and a bit helpless. “Shuangxing, what were you two just playing at?”
From the earlier conversation, Xia Mo figured out that the culprit behind Luo Shuangxing’s current state was indeed the ‘thing’ that Luo Shuangyue wrote.
And after Luo Shuangxing followed that ‘thing,’ it was only then that Luo Shuangyue informed her sister it was just for fun.
Considering this, Luo Shuangyue’s hasty retreat seemed quite reasonable, since she was indeed in the wrong.
“He wrote a training plan that said if I followed it, I could become a magical girl, so I tried it,” Luo Shuangxing slightly modified the incident, as her identity needed to remain concealed.
In her recount, Luo Shuangyue’s training plan was meant to turn ordinary people into magical girls, not to train magical girls.
Moreover, since Luo Shuangxing was originally a fervent fan of magical girls, Xia Mo had no doubt about her words.
A girl who loved magical girls seeing a method to become one would naturally want to give it a try, though the proposer of the method did have a bit of an issue.
After listening to Luo Shuangxing’s story, Xia Mo stroked her chin and asked a question that left Luo Shuangxing silent.
“Why did you think your brother’s plan was feasible? He’s not even a magical girl; he’s not even a girl.”
Luo Shuangyue is neither magical nor a girl; the stuff she wrote about magical girls is similar to those online articles like “Ten Secrets of Magical Girls” or “Unveiling the Truth Behind Magical Girls,” right?
The credibility would be high at ten percent, and that ten percent might even be a lucky guess.
“Right, I just found information online.” Luo Shuangyue poked her head out from the kitchen and echoed.
Her training plans were part from her mother’s notes and part from various imaginative ideas found online.
The popularity of magical girls on the internet hasn’t waned; every day many people ask how to become a magical girl.
The gender ratio is about one to one, and don’t ask why boys also ask such questions; it’s cool to transform and defeat monsters, okay?
“You shut up, jerk!” Luo Shuangxing passionately scolded her brother with tears in her eyes.
You wrote this nonsense, but the suffering I endured was completely real!
It all started with flying a hundred laps around Xinghai City, followed by all kinds of physical training, and by the end, she almost couldn’t even maintain her transformation!
To burn through a magical girl’s magical power just through training, you jerk brother must be mentally unwell to have made such a training plan!
“Okay, okay, I’ll keep quiet.”
“Xia Mo sis, look at him! He’s so mean!” Luo Shuangxing hugged Xia Mo’s waist, tearfully complaining.
You jerk, Luo Shuangyue, you torture me, so I’ll tell on you to Xia Mo sis to deal with you! Luo Shuangxing thought viciously in her heart.
“Okay, I’ll go teach him a lesson in a bit. Don’t be sad, little Shuangxing,” Xia Mo comforted while patting Luo Shuangxing’s small head, throwing a helpless glance at Luo Shuangyue, who was secretly watching from a distance, with an expression that seemed to say, “Look at what you’ve done.”
