Chapter 4: Oh no, I am surrounded by Magical Girls
Xia Mo believed her eyes, believed her memory; that white Magical Girl looked exactly like the one who saved her in her memory!
Even the temperature of her skin and the aura around her hadn’t changed one bit.
“It must be her, but… I didn’t even get a chance to properly thank her. It was like this ten years ago, and it’s the same yesterday.” Xia Mo lowered her head, wrapped in a wave of sadness.
Although Bai Ye had saved her twice, she had never properly thanked Bai Ye even once.
She really wanted to tell Bai Ye that thanks to her guidance, she obtained the recognition of the Magical Gem and became a Magical Girl just like her.
Though I may be weak now, I will definitely work hard, striving to become as strong a Magical Girl as you.
“I really am…” Covering her face with her hand, Xia Mo let out a soft sob.
“Don’t cry; if it really is that Magical Girl, she definitely wouldn’t care about such things.”
Luo Shuangyue gently patted Xia Mo’s head and comforted her softly.
“Do Magical Girls save people because they want thanks? As long as you can continue to live happily, she would be very satisfied.”
Though she didn’t know what her mother was thinking when she saved others back then, judging by her mother’s enthusiastic and vivacious personality that was almost un母like, Luo Shuangyue felt her words couldn’t be wrong.
After comforting for a while, Luo Shuangyue finally calmed Xia Mo down.
Xia Mo’s face turned slightly red after crying in front of her crush, and it made her feel a bit shy.
“Sorry, Shuangyue, for making you laugh…”
“It’s fine; Shuangxing cried much more than you when she was little, I’m used to it.”
Luo Shuangyue unhesitatingly threw her biological sister under the bus, saying Xia Mo had no need to be so shy; she had been through many battles already.
Isn’t this exactly the time to use a little sister!
“Pfft, if Shuangxing hears you say that, you won’t have a peaceful day anymore.”
“That little girl is going to a tutoring class organized by the school, she won’t hear anything, don’t worry.”
Luo Shuangyue chuckled; that little girl was still canoeing in the sea of knowledge; as long as she didn’t drown, it would be good enough, where would she have time to care about this?
……
Achoo!
Luo Shuangxing let out a big sneeze.
“Miss Linglan, is the temperature in the room too low? Do you want me to raise the air conditioning temperature a bit?”
Dressed in a pure white dress, the adorable girl like a flower fairy sat obediently at her desk, shaking her head at the teacher explaining the weaknesses of Magical Beasts on the podium.
“No need, it’s just that my nose suddenly itched a little, but I’m fine now!”
“Alright, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately.”
“Okay, teacher!”
Luo Shuangxing used her peripheral vision to glance at the two empty seats beside her, then looked up at the blackboard filled with incomprehensible writing, feeling a bit frustrated.
Being a Magical Girl isn’t just about transforming; behind them is an organization called the Magic Department, which guides the growth of Magical Girls and provides them with necessary logistical support.
They are like trusty partners for the Magical Girls.
As a rookie, with only a few months of battle experience, Luo Shuangxing was still at the stage where she needed to catch up on her knowledge about Magical Beasts.
But today, Luo Shuangxing clearly had no intention of studying.
Her childhood sweetheart Siam, who had also just gained her transformation ability, didn’t come to school for tutoring, and her reliable senior Rosemary had sustained serious injuries in yesterday’s battle, now resting at home.
The once lively little class had now left only her behind.
What made her feel even sadder was that she couldn’t understand what the teacher was saying at all.
After feeling dizzy from listening, Luo Shuangxing completely lost the will to pay attention in class, secretly glancing at the teacher writing on the blackboard. She stealthily took out her phone and quickly typed a line.
“Senior Rosemary, how are you feeling?”
The personal information of the Magical Girls is kept as a top-secret by the Magic Department; even as a comrade, Luo Shuangxing doesn’t know Rosemary’s true identity.
Now, she could only communicate with Rosemary through the most basic method: texting.
After a long time without receiving a response from Rosemary, Luo Shuangxing gently expressed her frustration by holding her head.
Then, a hand suddenly pulled the phone out of her grip.
“Little Linglan, it’s class time.”
“Wow! Director?!”
……
Splash…
Hot water poured over her snow-white skin, and as Luo Shuangyue wiped her body with a towel, she felt troubled in her heart.
How can she make Xia Mo stop investigating the secrets behind Bai Ye?
Based on Xia Mo’s recent behavior, Luo Shuangyue felt that mere words wouldn’t convince her childhood sweetheart.
Should I transform into Bai Ye again and explain everything to Xia Mo?
As long as Xia Mo fulfills her heart’s wish, she won’t want to continue chasing Bai Ye anymore, right?
“It seems this is the only way, and I can use Bai Ye’s identity to persuade her not to continue being a Magical Girl…”
Turning off the hot water, Luo Shuangyue dried the water droplets from her body, looking at her completely naked, blooming figure in the mirror, she let out a helpless sigh in her heart.
This secret is also a big hassle.
Buzz…
Her phone on the bathroom sink vibrated slightly. Luo Shuangyue picked it up and, after seeing the avatar displayed on the screen, her expression gradually became serious.
‘7 PM, Nightfall Restaurant Room 2-17, don’t be late.’
Opening the specific chat interface, Luo Shuangyue sent a small cat GIF with an “OK” sign.
‘It’s work time, be a bit formal.’
‘Understood, I guarantee I’ll arrive on time!’
The message came from the leader of ‘Polar Night’, who is currently Luo Shuangyue’s direct superior.
Quickly dressing and returning to her room, Luo Shuangyue opened the innermost drawer of her wardrobe and pulled out a set of female clothing from the bottom.
As a well-behaved youth working for a villain organization, hiding a few sets of female clothing as disguises in her wardrobe is quite normal, right?
Wearing male clothing to meet her boss might reveal her true identity, while putting on female clothing and applying a bit of light makeup, Luo Shuangyue ensured that this woman would definitely not associate the Dark Butterfly’s true form with her.
After all, Luo Shuangyue is just an ordinary university student, with no connection to the infamous Dark Butterfly in the gray field over the past two years.
With awkward emotions, she stuffed the female outfit in gray-black shades into her backpack, and then stealthily snuck into her sister’s room to take her makeup from her sister’s vanity.
‘Shuangxing, I have something to do tonight; remember to keep an eye on your sister Xia Mo.’
Finally, informing her sister that she had something to do tonight, mission accomplished!
