Chapter 6: Love Can’t Be Eaten
‘Wahaha, with the power of nightmares, I am invincible! Foolish magical girl, tremble under this unparalleled strength!’
‘Nightmare man, your delusions will be shattered by me, the magical girl Xiaomo! Watch this, Peach Wave Cannon!’
The pink and black-purple colors collided violently on the screen, and ultimately, with the pink magical girl’s emotional recollection, pink completely overwhelmed black-purple, devouring the grotesque figure.
When Luo Shuangyue opened the door with her backpack on her back, the childish and cringe-inducing cartoon playing on the living room TV was exactly that.
“How old are you? Can’t you watch some mature animations?”
Who would watch such childish cartoons?
Is that even a question?
Isn’t there only one other person in this house besides Luo Shuangyue?
Luo Shuangyue knew that her younger sister liked watching magical girl animations; basically, all girls in this world liked watching magical girl animations. There was nothing wrong with that.
But Shuangxing, you’re almost eighteen! If you’re going to watch something, shouldn’t it be a slightly more mature magical girl animation?
Like, for example, Magical Girl Madoka…
“Absolutely not! Only this magical girl truly has the core of a magical girl. Nowadays, those so-called mature animations that claim to deconstruct magical girls are just selling dog meat under a sheep’s head.” Luo Shuangxing shook her head fiercely, indicating that she would never admit that magical girls could be like that.
“You’re not a magical girl. How do you know what the core of a magical girl is?”
“You’re not a magical girl either. How do you know that the core of a magical girl isn’t this?”
The siblings’ gazes clashed in mid-air; each had their own reasons for not backing down on this matter.
‘Hmph, actually, your sister is a magical girl secretly protecting world peace.’ Luo Shuangxing’s eyes brimmed with confidence.
Didn’t expect that, my older brother. A little bit of me is indeed a magical girl~
‘I know far more secrets about magical girls than those magical girls do. How could I not know what a magical girl is like?’ Luo Shuangyue’s gaze was unyielding.
You foolish little sister, your older brother is the strongest enemy of magical girls and just defeated one yesterday.
If that magical girl hadn’t been Xia Mo, you would have seen a news report about the disappearance of the magical girl Rosemary today!
“Hmph, do you think there’s a possibility that I’m actually a magical girl?”
“Just you?” Luo Shuangyue gave her sister a white glance and then pulled out a takeout box from her backpack.
The sweet scent wafted through the box, into Luo Shuangxing’s nose, instantly changing the girl’s previously disdainful expression towards her brother.
“Dear older brother, your cute little sister acknowledges her mistake!”
Floating over to Luo Shuangyue like a ghost, Luo Shuangxing reached out to snatch the takeout box from her hands.
Though she didn’t know what delicious food was inside, just the smell was enough for her to feel that whatever was in there wouldn’t disappoint her.
Seeing her sister’s masterful talent for changing expressions, Luo Shuangyue sneered inwardly. With such an embarrassing demeanor, she still wants to be a magical girl?
Xia Mo is so gentle and kind; it’s only natural for her to be a magical girl. What about you, Luo Shuangxing?
Just a moment ago, you criticized me for being a loveless adult, and now you’re calling me beloved brother. This two-faced attitude really shows how seamlessly Luo Shuangxing can change.
“I brought back a cream cake, which was supposed to be dessert after a meal, but I can’t eat it.” Raising the cake above her head, Luo Shuangyue wore a cunning expression. “Little sister, I suddenly feel like I can eat this little cake after all.”
“I was wrong! Everything you said is right, I’ve been too narrow-minded! You, with such an open-minded heart, wouldn’t hold my little offense against me, right!”
Luo Shuangxing bounced and jumped, trying to snatch the cake from Luo Shuangyue, but each time she was easily dodged by her older sister.
After teasing her sister to the brink of explosion, Luo Shuangyue finally opened the takeout box and smiled at her sister, “Alright, I wouldn’t not give it to you.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Luo Shuangxing had already scooped a spoonful of cake into her mouth.
“Yummy!” The girl’s eyes sparkled; this was undoubtedly the best cake she had ever had.
“Where did you have dinner, brother? I’ve decided to eat the cakes they make from now on!”
“How would I know? That place has no name, and they only accept reservations from members. If it weren’t for my boss being generous, you wouldn’t have even had this cake.”
“Bro, are you sure your boss isn’t interested in you as a pretty face?” Chewing on her spoon, Luo Shuangxing tilted her head and asked.
She remembered that her brother had been working at that company for two years. During those two years, he balanced his studies while supporting himself, fattening himself up nicely.
To be fair, her brother had started off as a feeble boy with no experience, who had just graduated from high school!
Luo Shuangxing couldn’t help but think along those lines; the whole situation was riddled with a strange air.
Did her older brother really sell his looks for money?
“What ridiculous things are you thinking? Can’t you trust your older brother?” Luo Shuangyue smacked her younger sister on the forehead, tired of her incessant nonsense.
Still wanting to watch ‘pure’ magical girl animations? You should look at your dirty thinking—magical girls would cover their noses and distance themselves from you!
“Older brother, you’re good-looking, gentle, kind, soft on the outside, tough on the inside…” Luo Shuangxing began to count her brother’s virtues on her fingers.
Hearing that, Luo Shuangyue nodded in satisfaction. It seems like this sister hasn’t been raised for nothing…
“Just look at all these qualities! Isn’t this just a perfect pretty boy?”
Slap!
The merciless hand chop landed heavily on Luo Shuangxing’s head, making tears spring from her eyes.
Luo Shuangyue emotionlessly withdrew her ruthless hand, thinking this sister of hers would be better off selling herself for money.
Sorry, Mom and Dad, but your daughter has turned out a bit crooked. Why don’t you hurry back and have another daughter for me?
“The cake is confiscated.”
Snatching the spoon from her sister’s hand, Luo Shuangyue coldly turned her back to face Luo Shuangxing’s mournful gaze, shoving the remaining cake into her mouth.
I have to say, it really does taste pretty good.
“Brother, doing this will cost you my love!”
“Then so be it. Without you, I might live two more years.”
“Hey!”
