Chapter 7: What a Coincidence
“Why does this fish have a strange light in its eyes? How would I know why! The author doesn’t even know why, okay!”
Angrily throwing her pen down on the table, Luo Shuangxing put her head in her hands and let out a roar.
Just after delivering breakfast to Xia Mo, Luo Shuangyue knew immediately that her sister was working on her homework.
As someone who had been through it all, Luo Shuangyue couldn’t help but show a gloating expression. Little sister, have you finally experienced the pain your older brother felt a few years ago?
Finally, it’s your turn, hahaha!
“Spending time on these things is a complete waste of life!”
“Even if you say that, the homework still has to be finished. Tomorrow is Monday, and I really don’t want to be summoned to school by your teacher,” Luo Shuangyue said, spearing a piece of apple with a toothpick and chewing as she spoke.
Two months ago, Luo Shuangxing was called to have her parents meet with the teacher for losing her homework notebook, and her excuse was absurd.
‘I was attacked by magical beasts on the way home, got too caught up watching the magical girl fight them, didn’t see a small stone by the roadside, tripped over it, and my homework notebook got soaked and ruined.’
That day, Luo Shuangyue just happened to be on duty in the organization, and it wasn’t until her sister’s teacher called the next day that she found out it had happened.
When she went to meet Luo Shuangxing’s teacher, she discovered that this teacher was an old acquaintance of hers, her former homeroom teacher.
Let’s just say, both Luo Shuangyue and the teacher felt quite awkward that day.
“Don’t worry, bro, my old teacher said she wouldn’t call you next time. It’s not easy taking care of your little sister by yourself,” Luo Shuangxing replied without looking up from her homework.
Even if they are magical girls, they still have to finish their homework. In fact, most magical girls feel troubled by their studies.
Although becoming a magical girl means they don’t need to work in the usual sense for the rest of their lives, for confidentiality reasons concerning their identities, they still have to play their current roles well.
Only after completely finishing their studies will the Magic Department assign the magical girls to positions controlled from the shadows, allowing them to no longer worry about other matters.
And that day feels a little distant from the current Luo Shuangxing.
Buzz… Luo Shuangyue’s phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Opening her phone, she glanced at a message from Monise, saying a small organization planned to stir up trouble in Xinghai City.
‘You go keep an eye there so they don’t make too much noise.’
Monise’s instructions were always concise and straightforward.
“This location…” But upon seeing the location displayed on her phone, Luo Shuangyue gasped.
No way, this is my community, isn’t it?
In such a big Xinghai City, why did you have to pick this place?
Boom!
Before Luo Shuangyue could even respond to Monise, the sky outside suddenly turned black, and a loud thunderclap exploded outside. Then, she sensed an utterly unfamiliar aura appearing on her rooftop.
The phone signal vanished in an instant, the lights in the room went out, and all technology-related items turned into useless sticks at that moment.
Magical beasts have appeared!
Due to this strange aura effect, humans initially had no good way to deal with magical beasts, only able to withstand their attacks until the world’s first magical girl appeared, gradually pushing back the front lines.
Small magical beasts could be handled by explosions, but large magical beasts were much more difficult to deal with, especially those king-level and emperor-level magical beasts, which could even distort the rules of the world around them.
If there were no magical girls, this world might have long ago turned into a magical beasts’ backyard, right?
But Luo Shuangyue currently had no time to think about that; the magical beast in the sky was probably at the pinnacle of the class level, corresponding to the blooming stage of a magical girl.
If it were the normal Rosemary squad in a regular condition, dealing with it would be somewhat troublesome but manageable.
It’s just an elite monster.
But coincidentally, Rosemary was just disbanded two days ago by Luo Shuangyue, and now Xia Mo still hadn’t healed. How could they defeat the monster in the sky?
“Shuangxing, hurry and hide in the basement! I’m going to find your sister Xia Mo!” Luo Shuangyue shouted at her sister, who was staring out the window, as she strode out the front door and ran next door.
She was most afraid that Xia Mo, that fool, would try to transform and rush to fight the magical beast.
As for her sister, she wasn’t at much risk; it was more vital to check on Xia Mo.
Of course, Luo Shuangyue had no idea that her dear sister was just waiting for her to leave.
“Brother is going to save Sister Xia Mo, just right, this way I’ll have no worries.”
Even if Luo Shuangyue wasn’t planning to save Xia Mo but rather to take her to the basement for shelter, Luo Shuangxing would have proactively suggested that Luo Shuangyue go bring the incapacitated Xia Mo.
She, a girl who could move easily, didn’t need anyone to accompany her.
Of course, getting rid of her older brother was not just for shelter; it was to… fulfill her mission!
“Pure and flawless love, please respond to my call!”
The white lily pendant hanging around her neck suddenly emitted a white light, transforming into a delicate long dress made of water-like white magical power, making the girl look as beautiful as a flower fairy from a fairy tale.
She reached out and firmly grasped a magic wand that was almost a head taller than her.
Bang!
The powerful wind pressure accompanying the appearance of the magical beast shattered the window, and the girl named Linglan showed no hesitation as she flew out into the slicing wind.
The magical beast in the sky was nearly solidifying, with four masked figures in black robes standing around it, their cold eyes scanning the surroundings.
As Linglan’s figure appeared, one of the four immediately raised a pitch-black stone, warning loudly:
“Magical girl! If you kill any one of us, the magical beast in the sky will lose control and destroy everything nearby!”
“We only want the deputy leader you captured one month ago released by the Magic Department. If you comply with our demands, we won’t let the magical beast go out of control!”
The white girl hesitated in midair because of the black-clad man’s words.
If the magical beast were to lose control right now, the community beneath her would definitely be flattened, and her brother and Sister Xia Mo were still inside.
At least… she had to wait until her brother and Sister Xia Mo evacuated safely!
‘Linglan, wait a moment. The residents in the community haven’t fully evacuated yet. We can’t let the magical beast lose control at this moment.’
The Director’s voice rang out at the same time, giving Luo Shuangxing a sense of assurance.
‘Siam will arrive in three minutes, Rosemary… will be coming soon too.’
