Chapter 88: I Want the Card Too!
After asking a series of questions, Longwen nodded with satisfaction, and her gaze towards Luo Shuangyue carried genuine goodwill.
She could sense the good qualities deep inside the heart of the girl before her; this was a true companion.
“Alright, we’ve got a general understanding of the situation, but I have things to attend to, so I won’t keep you company in your chat,” Longwen said with a smile as she patted Luo Shuangyue on the shoulder.
“You live in the same city, and although you belong to different organizations, you can communicate and cooperate more when encountering difficulties. One person’s strength is limited, but together with your partners, you will have the power to overcome everything.”
After saying this, Longwen cast an encouraging glance towards Xia Mo, as if to say, “I’m leaving you here, now it’s up to you all.”
Having completed these actions, Longwen stood up and strode out of the café, followed by the two girls who had been waiting at the door.
As three beams of light illuminated the entrance of the café, Luo Shuangyue stared blankly as the three uniquely styled magical girls flew into the sky.
Two initial blooming, one in full bloom—such high regard for her.
After watching these three prominent magical girls leave, Luo Shuangyue immediately jumped down from her seat, intending to sneak away quickly, trying to avoid letting Xia Mo and her sister realize the issue with her clothing.
Unfortunately, as often is the case, reality proved to be quite stark.
She had just shown a desire to leave when Luo Shuangxing grabbed her wrist and forced her back into her seat.
“Xiaomimi, prepare a cup of coffee for our Miss Die,” she casually instructed Xiaomimi.
Xiaomimi shot an innocent glare at Luo Shuangxing but still turned to start making coffee for everyone, while Luo Shuangxing examined Luo Shuangyue’s face with curiosity written all over hers.
“Your outfit style today is quite something; I didn’t know you could wear clothes like this.”
As she circled the fidgeting Luo Shuangyue, stroking her chin, Luo Shuangxing muttered quietly.
This made alarms ring loudly in Luo Shuangyue’s heart.
Sister, you can’t be that perceptive! You’re usually so oblivious!
How did you suddenly become so sharp?
“Xia Mo, is this right?” Luo Shuangxing pulled Luo Shuangyue beside her and cheerfully asked Xia Mo.
Xia Mo rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she watched the two of them. She obviously knew that Luo Shuangxing was teasing her brother, but she didn’t mind seeing Shuangyue in such an awkward situation.
So, she deliberately pretended to think, and after about ten seconds hesitated before saying, “Hmm, today’s Dark Butterfly looks a lot like Shuangxing’s sister.”
This wasn’t Xia Mo joking; it was true that after aligning their styles, Dark Butterfly and Luo Shuangxing did resemble each other somewhat, to the point where one could easily discern a relation.
“Shuangxing, you don’t actually have a sister lost for many years, do you?”
“Could it be?” Luo Shuangxing pointed to her chin, looking confused.
Seeing that Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing were on the verge of exposing her identity, Luo Shuangyue could only clear her throat heavily, interrupting the conversation forcefully.
She couldn’t let them continue this dangerous topic; if they kept talking like this, they would definitely start to suspect her!
Luo Shuangyue could tell that Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing were just joking, but as the humor continued, they might start to think seriously about it.
This couldn’t be taken seriously!
“What are you talking about? Do I really resemble her that much?”
Before Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing could respond, Xiaomimi, who was preparing coffee, suddenly turned around.
“Miss Die and Shuangxing really do look alike; I thought at first glance that you two were sisters.”
Xiaomimi’s remark plunged Luo Shuangyue into silence. Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing were just joking, but Xiaomimi wasn’t!
The way she spoke made it seem like she was saying, “Oh, so I’m not the only one who thinks this.”
If one or two people felt that Luo Shuangxing and Dark Butterfly looked alike, that was one thing, but when a third person, who wasn’t even that close to them, came to the same conclusion, it became something that couldn’t just be brushed off with a laugh.
Xiaomimi really landed a crucial blow at the most critical moment.
How could you, Xiaomimi!
“Could it be… I really have a sister lost for many years?” Luo Shuangxing gasped dramatically.
The expression was so exaggerated that Luo Shuangyue could tell this girl was just acting.
“Absolutely not,” Luo Shuangyue retorted firmly.
“How about we do a test then? One hair, one drop of blood will do~”
“You wish! I don’t want an annoying sister like you.”
“That sounds really hurtful… Sigh, Dark Butterfly, what do you think about Longwen’s words?”
Luo Shuangxing also realized that if they continued down this path, Luo Shuangyue’s cover would be completely blown, so she awkwardly shifted the topic.
Before leaving, Longwen had said for Dark Butterfly and the magical girls to communicate and cooperate properly, meaning for Dark Butterfly not to oppose the magical girls—wasn’t it better if everyone worked together to fight monsters?
It wasn’t like members of the Magic Department had nothing better to do.
“As long as you don’t randomly come in front of me seeking attention and mess up my affairs, I really can’t be bothered with you,” Luo Shuangyue thought to herself, feeling relieved that the dangerous topic had finally ended.
To prevent Luo Shuangxing from bringing up old matters, she softened her attitude a little.
Given the current situation, being stern wouldn’t be very effective; they had fought side by side numerous times. It would be ridiculous to say they should remain foes until their next encounter.
After all, Polar Night and the magical girls were not exactly sworn enemies; the previous conflict with Xia Mo had solely been a result of the noise made during the sealing card’s activation attracting the magical girls.
Now that they had cleared up the matter, such situations would probably not arise again… right?
“I can’t make such a guarantee, oh, Dark Butterfly, the things you want are also what I really want.” At this moment, Xia Mo suddenly spoke up.
“The sealing card, I won’t simply hand it over to you.”
From what Xia Mo implied, she wanted to compete for the sealing card? Luo Shuangyue noticed the fierce determination in Xia Mo’s eyes.
It seemed the words Ye Lin said yesterday had piqued Xia Mo’s interest in the sealing card… this was becoming a bit troublesome.
