Such a massive event clearly couldn’t yield a result in just a few days.
Various bickering and exchanges of interests required a significant amount of time to build up.
It wasn’t until over a month of turmoil passed that these matters finally saw a real resolution.
Other changes involving social operations couldn’t be achieved overnight and could only be implemented gradually.
However, the change the Magical Girls looked forward to most was implemented quite quickly.
After all, it was simply lifting the restriction on marriage certificates.
All it took was a word to the people handling the paperwork; nothing else needed to be changed.
In other parts of the world, people were somewhat confused by this change, unsure of what it actually signified.
But at the Magic Department, the girls were completely ecstatic.
It wasn’t just the Magical Girls who were excited; the Transhuman girls were as well.
They had originally thought they were destined to live out their lives alone, but in the blink of an eye, good times had suddenly arrived.
They could actually marry their girlfriends!
Add to that the rumors recently trickling out from the Research Institute, and these Transhumans — who had paid a heavy price to defeat the Demons — felt their sacrifices had been truly worthwhile.
Not only could they get married, but they could even have children!
It felt like a dream!
“Everyone’s been acting like they’ve had a shot of adrenaline these past few days. Productivity has improved quite a bit,” Cecilia said to Luo Shuangyue in the Vice Minister’s office.
“Here, this is your registration form. Be at this location tomorrow at 8:00 AM sharp. You and Rosemary will be the first to take the plunge.”
Luo Shuangyue had come to Cecilia’s office for official business, of course.
Well, preparing for tomorrow’s big event was naturally official business.
“I understand. But won’t others have objections if I’m the first?” Luo Shuangyue asked as she filled out the form.
Cecilia chuckled at the question. “Who would object? The only person more qualified than you is your mother, but she can’t exactly call your other mother over to register.”
White Night’s current status was essentially widowed, so she couldn’t register.
Therefore, it was perfectly logical for Luo Shuangyue, as White Night’s heir, to go first.
No one would think Luo Shuangyue was using her privilege to cause trouble; after all, she was truly entitled to such treatment.
“By the way, have you prepared your interview script? It’s a live broadcast, so you need to be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already memorized it forward and backward. There definitely won’t be any problems.” Luo Shuangyue looked up while filling out the form, revealing a smile full of happiness.
“Is it okay if I smile like this when the time comes?”
Cecilia immediately gave her a thumbs-up. “No problem, smile exactly like that!”
It looked so blissful; one could tell at a glance they were a deeply loving couple. It was perfect for promotion.
“Oh, right. Do you two want to hold another wedding? We could broadcast that as well—”
“Uh… let’s pass on that. I haven’t really thought about a wedding yet. Trying to organize one now would be too rushed in terms of time and preparation.” Luo Shuangyue scratched her head, declining Cecilia’s kind offer.
She wanted her wedding to be as perfect as possible.
Therefore, she felt she could wait a while and see how the other senior Magical Girls held theirs.
Over the past few days, she had received many wedding invitations.
They were from Magical Girls who had long been in established relationships but had suffered from the inability to be together legitimately.
Now that they had such a great opportunity, they naturally wanted to celebrate properly and host massive, beautiful weddings.
Luo Shuangyue planned to borrow ideas from her Mentors’ creativity and use them for her own wedding later.
The next day, at the festively decorated entrance of the Magic Department Headquarters, a formally dressed Cecilia solemnly handed a special Marriage Certificate — adorned with patterns of Butterflies and flowers — to Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo.
In that moment, Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo truly became Family; their feelings had received genuine recognition.
When the moment actually arrived, Luo Shuangyue wasn’t that agitated. Instead, everything felt as natural as water flowing into a channel.
When the reporter arranged by the Magic Department approached her and asked the pre-arranged questions, Luo Shuangyue began to answer step-by-step.
Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through her speech, Xia Mo took her by surprise and kissed her on the lips.
“Eh?” Luo Shuangyue’s face instantly turned bright red. This was being broadcast live to the whole world!
Even the reporter let out a sound of surprise. This wasn’t what was written in the script.
“I think a thousand words aren’t as convincing as this,” Xia Mo said with a smile, holding up her hand tightly interlocked with Luo Shuangyue’s. Compared to those official platitudes, this was what truly carried weight.
This wasn’t a show or a performance. The feelings between her and Luo Shuangyue were sincere and could withstand everyone’s scrutiny.
“Mm, you’re right. This is indeed more convincing.” Luo Shuangyue locked eyes with Xia Mo and let out a joyful laugh.
Compared to the memorized script, this was indeed better and more authentic.
—
As the ceremony ended, pairs of girls swarmed in, completely clogging the office, which had already seen a temporary increase in staff.
Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo stood to the side, watching the scene with a hint of surprise in their hearts.
So many Mentors had this need; no wonder the Magic Department had been so firm in pushing through this reform.
“Sister, you two really stole the spotlight this time.”
“It’s not a bad thing. Why, did you come to register with Yi too?” Luo Shuangyue turned around and, as expected, saw her younger sister.
However, Luo Shuangxing wasn’t accompanied by the other girl; she had come alone.
Hearing Luo Shuangyue’s question, Luo Shuangxing rolled her eyes in annoyance. “I’m here to help.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the red armband pinned to her sleeve. ‘Don’t you know what a Volunteer is?’
The Magic Department knew how enthusiastic everyone would be today, so they had specifically called in more Volunteers to maintain order.
Luo Shuangxing happened to want to do some work in that area lately.
So, she had come here to help. Of course, there was also the desire to see her two sisters in person.
As for her and Yi… Luo Shuangxing wasn’t in a hurry for now.
“Besides, Yi and I haven’t been together that long. It’s better to wait until we truly understand each other before making a life-altering decision like this.”
“That makes sense. This kind of thing really should be carefully considered,” Xia Mo said, nodding in support of Luo Shuangxing.
If they got together without fully knowing each other, it would be difficult if conflicts arose later.
“I never said it was bad. By the way, there’s a Mass Wedding tonight. How about we go check it out?”
