Chapter 48: Choice
Discovering her senior’s hidden secret in this way was somewhat difficult for Luo Shuangxing to speak about, making her feel like some sort of pervert.
“Linglan, pervert meow.” Siam covered her mouth with her hand and made a disdainful sound, “Do you secretly watch me and senior’s skirts too, meow?”
“I already said it was an accident! And isn’t your skirt a holy light? You can’t see anything at all!”
As a genuine girl who wasn’t particularly twisted in personality and was currently a magical girl, Luo Shuangxing definitely couldn’t have such a hobby!
It was an accident, you know!
Could she be blamed for just catching a glimpse with her eyes? It was the fault of Senior Bai Ye for wearing such a short skirt!
She absolutely would not take the blame for this! This perverted label, she also wouldn’t accept!
“And right now, shouldn’t we be concerned about why Senior Bai Ye isn’t maintaining her transformation?”
“Linglan is right, Siam, stop arguing with Linglan.” Xia Mo also thought so, believing that her junior wasn’t the type to have perverted hobbies, and this time it should really just be an accident.
Moreover, this time’s accidental result was quite good, having uncovered a significant secret.
Senior Bai Ye transforms when she appears and leaves, but she undoes her transformation in the middle of training, what could this possibly mean?
“Could it be that Senior Bai Ye cannot maintain her transformation for a long time, meow?” Siam instinctively voiced her thoughts.
Since she can normally transform and use her powers, the only reason for Senior Bai Ye to undo her transformation in the middle must be that she cannot maintain that state.
It might be due to old injuries from battles with magical beasts, or other reasons; in any case, Bai Ye cannot maintain her transformation for long periods now.
“But if that’s the case, why doesn’t Senior Bai Ye just tell us the truth directly? Why pretend like everything is fine?” Xia Mo remained puzzled.
At this moment, Luo Shuangxing raised her hand and said, “She probably wants to maintain her image in our minds as juniors, right?”
As a senior, it’s natural to have a bit of a twisted sense of pride, not wanting juniors to know that there are problems with her body.
Look at Senior Rosemary; when she was injured before, she comforted her two juniors, saying it was just a minor injury without major issues, just like what Senior Bai Ye is doing now.
“Perhaps, so what should we do now? Pretend we don’t know about the senior’s secret?” Xia Mo glanced at her two juniors with a questioning look.
Should they directly tell their senior that they have found out her secret, and that she doesn’t have to pretend anymore?
Or should they act like they don’t know anything at all and let their senior keep pretending?
Xia Mo found it somewhat difficult to decide.
But Luo Shuangxing quickly made a decision, feeling that it would be better to clarify things.
“Without her transformation, Senior Bai Ye is just an ordinary girl, and there’s a high chance she cannot maintain her transformation for long due to physical reasons.”
“Magical girl clothing pays more attention to aesthetics; it might be fine in this hot summer, but when the weather turns cool, without magical power to keep her warm, Senior Bai Ye’s physical state will definitely worsen.”
“Exactly meow! Linglan is right meow!” After hearing Luo Shuangxing’s statement, Siam nodded in agreement.
The magical girl’s clothing can be said to be useless aside from being beautiful; wearing it in summer is hot, and in winter is cold. Instead of letting Senior Bai Ye struggle like this, it’s better to clearly tell her that they already know her secret and that she doesn’t need to act like this anymore.
That would be better for Senior Bai Ye.
As for how the senior would think upon knowing how Linglan discovered this secret, Siam didn’t know.
In any case, Linglan’s training intensity was already high enough; they could always add a little more. She believed that Senior Bai Ye wouldn’t really push Linglan to her limits.
“Alright then, next training we will explain this matter to our senior clearly.” Seeing that her two juniors had reached a consensus, Xia Mo couldn’t say anything against it.
After all, Linglan’s considerations were already quite comprehensive. It did weigh on Xia Mo’s mind to have a body-ailing senior wear such clothing to train them.
Clearly, the senior could no longer maintain her transformation for long periods, yet she had always stayed by her side, appearing to help her when she encountered danger. It was really… Xia Mo felt warmth in her heart. Although her senior had said nothing, that gentle concern, like a faint drizzle, was something she could clearly sense.
Senior, I will definitely become very strong, so you won’t have to worry about me anymore, and you can be proud of me!
Gently pressing her hand against her chest, Xia Mo felt that power she had briefly sensed start to flow within her body once again.
In a daze, she seemed to perceive the path that belonged to her.
