Chapter 90: Fighting at the Head of the Bed
You stole my stuff, and then you want me to come over at night? You think I just come running when you say so? What do you take me for!
Hearing Xia Mo’s words, Luo Shuangyue immediately felt a surge of anger. She wanted to turn around and point her finger at Xia Mo’s nose to scold her.
But after thinking for a moment, she decided to visit Xia Mo’s house at night. Xia Mo had taken the initiative to invite her over, so it couldn’t just be for some trivial matter.
Although Xia Mo might do some strange things during their meeting, the last few times she contacted Luo Shuangyue were indeed for serious matters.
For example, half a month ago, Xia Mo contacted Luo Shuangyue to inform her that the Magic Department would be making significant moves soon and that she should be cautious.
And today, perhaps it was related to that as well?
In any case, she would know what was going on by going over tonight…
So, around nine o’clock in the evening, Luo Shuangyue disguised herself and knocked on Xia Mo’s window.
“Why do you dislike using the front door so much?” Xia Mo said helplessly as she watched the girl in black clothes and skirt climb in through the window.
She was beginning to suspect that Luo Shuangyue had spent too much time playing the villain and had developed some strange quirks—why crawl through the window instead of using the front door every time?
And you didn’t even bother to wear proper shoes! Frowning at Luo Shuangyue’s bare feet on the windowsill, Xia Mo made a mental note.
It seemed that every time she entered through the window, Luo Shuangyue wasn’t wearing shoes. Was she trying to build a persona, or was this just a habit of hers?
“Using the front door draws unnecessary attention,” Luo Shuangyue replied as she climbed into Xia Mo’s bedroom. Compared to more than a month ago, the Magical Girl posters in Xia Mo’s room had been updated; now they featured the latest styles.
However, the area that used to have Bai Ye’s poster had been deliberately left untouched, as it seemed Xia Mo didn’t want to replace the poster of Bai Ye, who had a unique place in her heart, with that of another magical girl.
“What’s the matter? Why did you want to see me?” Luo Shuangyue asked, her face serious as she looked at Xia Mo.
If Xia Mo couldn’t give a valid reason, then… then she wouldn’t talk to Xia Mo for a week!
“The Magic Department found traces of a Royal-class Magical Creature in Eastern Extreme City and besieged it, completely destroying the organization it had established, but the creature still managed to break through the Magic Department’s defenses and fled southwest with a few subordinates.”
This time, Xia Mo indeed had something important to tell Luo Shuangyue.
The Magic Department acted swiftly; as soon as they discovered a Royal-class Magical Creature had infiltrated human society, they took immediate action, using their overwhelming force for a carpet search to capture the Royal-class Magical Beast.
Then they assembled quite a terrifying force for the encirclement, but unfortunately, the creature still broke through their defenses.
“Southwest of Eastern Extreme City…” The current world map appeared in Luo Shuangyue’s mind; Eastern Extreme City was located on the eastern fringes of the human world, and there were quite a few cities to its southwest.
Xinghai City was one of them.
“Yes, now all the cities in the direction the magical beast is fleeing to have entered a state of readiness. As soon as the creature appears, they will intercept it to allow the main force from the Magic Department to catch up and eliminate it.” Xia Mo nodded. Although there were many cities southwest of Eastern Extreme City, who knew if the creature would think that Xinghai City was easy prey and come over here?
Compared to last month, at least Xinghai City now had an Initial Bloom-level Magical Girl, but facing a Royal-class Magical Beast, even one that was wounded and fleeing from the Magic Department, was still quite daunting.
That was why Xia Mo sought Luo Shuangyue’s help.
“This matter is serious, Dark Butterfly; I want to seek your assistance.” Xia Mo took a step forward, gazing into Luo Shuangyue’s red eyes and speaking earnestly.
Although this sounded sincere, when combined with what happened during the day, it seemed very abstract.
You were plotting against me during the day, and you expect me to help you at night? Please, do you think I’m made of cotton that I won’t get angry from a kick?
“Do you remember how you opposed me during the day?” Luo Shuangyue asked coldly.
Xia Mo nodded.
“Then how can you have the audacity to say such things now?! We are enemies, enemies!” Luo Shuangyue raised her hand to harshly hit Xia Mo on the head, but Xia Mo sidestepped and avoided it.
“Opposition is one thing, cooperation is another. How does the saying go? Fighting at the head of the bed, making peace at the foot!”
“Is our relationship that good?!” Luo Shuangyue was almost stunned by Xia Mo’s bold words. What does fighting at the head of the bed and making peace at the foot even mean? Is the relationship between Dark Butterfly and Rosemary like that?
Of course not!
They were enemies, enemies who fought every few days!
“In my heart, Dark Butterfly, you are my comrade, as important to me as my junior friends.” Xia Mo stepped forward, took Luo Shuangyue’s hand, and spoke to her earnestly.
Once Xia Mo learned who was under the Dark Butterfly mask, she never believed a word that came out of her mouth again.
No matter what the Dark Butterfly said, the end result was always the same—they would still come and help Xia Mo despite their reluctance.
Not a single exception.
“I know you’re a kind-hearted girl; I can’t face the Royal-class Magical Beast alone. Dark Butterfly, I really, really need your help!” Xia Mo said, looking intently at Luo Shuangyue with pleading eyes.
That gaze was cheating… Under Xia Mo’s gaze, Luo Shuangyue was unable to utter a single word of refusal that was already on the tip of her tongue.
What else could she do? If the Royal-class Magical Beast really showed up, wouldn’t she still have to run to help Xia Mo?
Even if she decided to sever ties with this childhood sweetheart, her little sister was still there working as a magical girl.
She couldn’t just abandon her sister, could she?
“Your face really has thickened!” Luo Shuangyue huffed lightly, somewhat displeased, but she still agreed to Xia Mo’s request. “But, you have to give me the Sealing Cards!”
“I can let you look at them, you can use them as well, but I won’t let you take them away,” Xia Mo immediately shook her head.
“Having them won’t do you any good.”
“But at least I can ensure they won’t be used for evil while they are with me.”
Xia Mo would absolutely not back down on the issue of the Sealing Cards.
If Luo Shuangyue just wanted to absorb the power of the cards, Xia Mo wouldn’t mind, and would even happily hand over the cards for her to absorb.
But if Luo Shuangyue wanted to take the cards away, then sorry, Xia Mo would not allow it.
