Chapter 64: Silly Cat
The matter of subtly probing Luo Shuangyue would have to wait until she returned home. Before that, Xia Mo had another thing to do.
Yes, it was to let Xiaomimi know not to worry. When you transformed, it was your Senior Rosemary who saw you, and that day everyone was at your café enjoying coffee.
“Siam, Linglan, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you.”
After the teacher from the Magic Department finished class and left the room, Xia Mo walked in and said to the absent-minded Siam and the eager Luo Shuangxing.
Siam let out a weak “ah”, her cat ears drooping, as she stood up from her chair like a zombie and trudged toward her Senior Rosemary.
She probably already guessed what the senior would say to her; it would definitely be a criticism for exposing her identity!
She had made such a big mistake and caused so much trouble for everyone in the Magic Department, it was truly embarrassing.
What made Siam even more uncomfortable was the look of amusement coming from behind her.
Damn Linglan, she was going to embarrass herself in front of her! This was just… too hard to accept!
But since she had made a mistake, these were the punishments one had to accept after messing up. Siam was not someone who would try to evade responsibility.
Following Xia Mo into an empty room, Siam lowered her head and quietly said, “Senior, I’m sorry, meow.”
“No need to say sorry, it’s not a big deal anyway.” Xia Mo smiled gently at Siam.
Not a big deal? Siam murmured silently in her heart, but Xia Mo saying that indeed made her feel a little better.
So the senior was here to comfort her, not to criticize her, how nice…
“But others know my identity, meow…”
“No, no one knows your identity.” Luo Shuangxing’s voice sounded the next moment, surprising Siam.
“The thing you’re worried about actually doesn’t exist at all; from beginning to end, no one else knew your identity.”
“Meow?” Siam blinked, how could this be possible?
The scene of her holding the magical gem was seen by that older sister; how could it not be known?
As long as that older sister wasn’t foolish, she should be able to guess her identity.
“Isn’t there a possibility that the person who saw you is not someone else?” Luo Shuangxing tried to guide Siam to guess the truth.
Not someone else? Siam became even more confused. Could it be that older sister was actually an employee of the Magic Department?
But that didn’t make sense; the identity of magical girls was also confidential among Magic Department staff. Among all the employees in the Magic Department of Xinghai City, only a few knew the true identities of magical girls.
Surely that older sister wasn’t a high-ranking official in the Magic Department, equal to the Director, right?
The more she thought about it, the more Siam felt that Linglan and Senior Rosemary were just comforting her, making her feel a little better.
Actually, she had really caused a huge mess, right?
“Senior, Linglan, you don’t have to comfort me; I know how big of a mistake I made, meow…” Siam lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes.
Although she was touched by the comfort from the senior and Linglan, she couldn’t just ignore the mistakes she had made!
Then she got a knock on the head from Luo Shuangxing.
“Silly!”
“How did I become silly, meow?” Siam covered her head, glaring at Linglan. She was feeling so down, and Linglan was hitting her while she was down. That was just too mean!
“Can’t you think a little? Why would we be so certain in telling you that no one else knows your identity? Aren’t you curious why someone would appear in such a secluded place to see you transform?” Luo Shuangxing stared at Siam fearlessly, feeling particularly confident this time.
Siam thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed very strange. That place had nothing to attract people; she chose to transform there precisely because of its desolation.
So why did someone suddenly appear to see her when she transformed?
Combining Linglan’s earlier words… “Could it be that…”
“Exactly, the person who saw you transform was also a magical girl. At that time, everyone received news of a magical beast attack, and that location was just the right place for a transformation. It’s quite normal for you two to collide there,” Luo Shuangxing said, spreading her hands with the expression that it was all quite simple, “Am I right, Ms. Xiaomimi?”
“Meow?!” Siam, called by her real name, almost jumped up and hit the ceiling. “Could it be you, Linglan, who saw me back then…”
“Impossible, I was about to fight a magical beast then! It was Senior Rosemary who saw you!” Luo Shuangxing pointed at Xia Mo, who was standing nearby cosplaying as air, and loudly told Siam.
Siam immediately turned her gaze to Xia Mo, still somewhat unconvinced.
How could it be such a coincidence? How could the senior be so coincidentally present at her café?
This was unreasonable!
“Linglan, Senior, you don’t have to trick me like this. How could there be such a coincidence in reality, meow!” Siam shook her head vigorously. “Why would she be so coincidentally present at my place? My café doesn’t have any fame, meow!”
“That’s true, but you can’t help what you’ve been advertising.” Luo Shuangxing sighed, releasing a large amount of white light, revealing her true form in front of Siam.
Upon seeing Luo Shuangxing’s appearance after her transformation, Siam’s gaze instantly turned blank.
She would never forget that uniquely colored hair and eyes.
“It’s you, meow?”
“What else could it be? I only just found out about the identities of you and the senior. Sigh, it truly is a case of no coincidence without a story.” Luo Shuangxing, having taken out the gem again to enter transformation state, said helplessly.
Now Siam understood; everything connected together.
Yes, her café might not be very famous, but she had previously told Linglan how great her café was, which piqued Linglan’s interest.
Then Linglan brought along her family and friends to her café, and before they could even finish their coffee, they encountered a magical beast disaster. Three magical girls squeezed into one café, and there weren’t many suitable transformation locations around. The probability of accidentally running into each other was almost off the charts.
“Now do you understand? Do you believe it?”
“I understand, meow. I believe it, meow.” Siam felt a little dazed, so that was how it was.
But soon she realized that Linglan and the senior revealing their identities like this was against the rules of the Magic Department, wasn’t it?
In order to relieve her worries, the senior and Linglan actually…
“Don’t make that embarrassed expression. You really don’t have to worry too much. Since we dare to tell you our true identities, we certainly asked the Director first.” Seeing the expression on Siam’s face, Xia Mo chuckled and quickly reassured her not to worry so much.
