Turning a space fragment into a place suitable for human life was not a problem that could be solved in a short time.
This time, Luo Shuangyue and Monice only collected some information from this containment space to take back for research.
It would likely take a long time before they could actually begin solving the problem.
Fortunately, for her current self, time was not something she lacked. She had plenty of time to go through trial and error.
While Monice was using various magical instruments to collect information, Luo Shuangyue quietly sought out Xiao Yi.
Her previous conversation with Xiao Yi had been about official business, but now it was time to discuss private matters.
“Xiao Yi, what do you think of Shuangxing?” Luo Shuangyue was not someone who enjoyed beating around the bush, so she asked her question directly.
After asking, she began to carefully observe the changes in Xiao Yi’s expression. Often, expressions could provide an answer without the need for words.
Just like now, after being asked this question, Xiao Yi immediately showed a hint of shyness. Her eyes darted around, and her voice became hesitant.
Well, one look was enough to tell that there was definitely something going on.
Now that she knew her younger sister was not suffering from unrequited love, Luo Shuangyue knew what she had to do.
As the older sister, she naturally had to work hard for her sister’s happiness!
For instance, she could give her sister or the person her sister liked a little push from behind, allowing two girls who were afraid to take a step forward to make a breakthrough.
“You like Shuangxing a lot, right?” Luo Shuangyue pointed out Xiao Yi’s thoughts.
Xiao Yi’s face instantly turned bright red, and her pointed ears were tinged with a shade of crimson. She gave a very small, subtle nod.
“Then why don’t you try to pursue her? You should know that Magical Girls aren’t exactly against this kind of thing, right?”
“I… I’m afraid it’s just my own wishful thinking,” Xiao Yi replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
She and Luo Shuangxing were the same type of person; both were afraid to face the ultimate result, fearing they were overthinking things and that the other person only saw them as a friend.
It could only be said that they were a perfect match.
The two sisters of the Luo family were identical in this regard, and even the person the younger sister liked was the same. In the entire family, Xia Mo was the only proactive one.
“That’s not true.”
“Eh?”
“Shuangxing likes you too, but she’s just as afraid to take the initiative as you are,” Luo Shuangyue whispered into Xiao Yi’s ear, her voice full of gentle temptation.
‘Shuangxing likes me too? For real?’
Xiao Yi’s eyes widened, and she looked at Luo Shuangyue in disbelief, not understanding why Luo Shuangyue would tell her these things.
“As her older sister, seeing my sister’s relationship make no progress, I have to find a way to give her a push, don’t I?” Luo Shuangyue shrugged, indicating that her intentions were simple.
Since her sister was an unpromising little coward, she could only take another path and work on Xiao Yi instead.
“I’m definitely not lying to you. As long as you take the initiative just a little bit, Xiao Yi, you’ll see how easy it is to win Shuangxing over.”
“I see…” Xiao Yi felt her heart thumping wildly. She couldn’t doubt the words coming from Luo Shuangyue’s mouth.
After all, this sister had no reason to deceive her, and it was impossible for her to lie about such a matter.
So Shuangxing really liked her, and she only needed to put in a little effort…
“If I could have one more little niece with pointy ears, I would be very happy,” Luo Shuangyue continued to add fuel to the fire.
“I, I understand!”
“What are you saying to that young girl? Aren’t you afraid your sister will hit you?” After collecting the information she wanted, Monice floated back to Luo Shuangyue’s side and commented on her recent behavior.
Although she had been working nearby, her ears were certainly not deaf.
“I’m doing a good deed. It’s clear they both have feelings, but neither is willing to take the initiative. It’s frustrating to watch.” Luo Shuangyue spread her hands.
If neither her sister nor Xiao Yi were so passive, would she really need to be this busy?
“Besides, don’t you want to know if humans and elves can have children?”
“I am indeed curious, but right now, we haven’t even solved the difficult problem of how Magical Girls can have children among themselves.”
The same-sex reproduction technology that Cecilia had mentioned before was still stuck at a bottleneck.
Even with Monice joining, there was little hope of seeing a breakthrough in the short term.
Monice had shamelessly obtained the reproduction methods of White Night and the Holy Sovereign from White Night herself.
However, after some research, she helplessly found that what White Night had said before was actually true; this method was indeed not suitable for widespread use among ordinary Magical Girls.
Even a Full Bloom-Class Magical Girl had not reached the minimum threshold to use such technology.
“White Night’s path is only suitable for her. At most, it serves as a bit of a reference for me. Besides, don’t you think I have too much on my plate right now?”
Speaking of this, Monice felt even more helpless.
She currently held several positions at once and could only strategically abandon some less important projects—for instance, that child-bearing project that showed no hope of a breakthrough in the short term.
Compared to having children, she was more interested in transhumans and modifying the world.
“I see. I thought that with your help, that matter could be resolved quickly.”
“You think too highly of me. There aren’t many people in the Magic Department whose abilities are equal to mine, but there aren’t few either. Someone is already leading that area, and her abilities are quite good,” Monice shrugged.
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialty.
As someone who worked with transhumans, she was essentially in the dark about that project, so she hadn’t participated much after a brief look.
“I see.”
“What, are you disappointed? Can’t wait to have a child as a crystal of love with your little girlfriend?”
“Uh, to be honest, I don’t want to have one yet.” Luo Shuangyue shook her head quite sincerely this time.
She and Xia Mo hadn’t had enough time to themselves yet. It was better not to let an unexpected factor like a child disturb them for now.
She couldn’t just have a child to play with like a toy, could she?
Moreover, theoretically speaking, her relationship with Xia Mo was still only that of lovers.
Having a child now would be considered a pregnancy out of wedlock.
They weren’t even married yet, so why would they want a child?
“Let’s wait until the Magic Department changes the rule that Magical Girls cannot register for marriage before we talk about it,” Luo Shuangyue said.
Previously, in order to stimulate population recovery, the Magic Department had made several rather strict regulations.
Now, these regulations would likely be lifted one by one.
After all, Magical Girls were the foundation of the Magic Department, and almost no Magical Girl would oppose this.
Some were even actively pushing for this change.
“That’s good. Do you want me to pass on a message for you? With your endorsement, this change might happen a little faster.”
“Uh, that’s not a bad idea.” Luo Shuangyue thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement with Monice’s suggestion.
It would be good if it happened faster. That way, she could truly become a family with Xia Mo sooner.
