Monsters appearing and needing magical girls to handle them wasn’t anything unusual for Xia Mo; it happened every couple of days.
But today was different.
The difference was that before she received her message, Luo Shuangyue and Luo Shuangxing had also received messages and hurriedly left.
What was going on?
Xia Mo scratched her head.
Could Shuangxing actually be a magical girl too?
As for Luo Shuangyue, she didn’t suspect him at all.
After all, how could a boy be a magical girl?
Besides, Star Sea City only had a few known magical girls, and there was no room for Shuangyue.
First of all, Shuangyue and Shuangxing definitely weren’t Siam.
Siam’s characteristics were too distinct, and her two friends had none of those traits.
As for Lily… if Shuangxing really was a magical girl, she might match Lily’s personality—both being quirky and mischievous.
But there were plenty of girls like that, so Xia Mo couldn’t be certain.
Forget it, dealing with the monster comes first.
Xia Mo pocketed her phone, stood up, and ran out of the café.
Pushing open the café’s door, Xia Mo scanned her surroundings and quickly spotted a good place to transform.
She dashed toward it, but when she arrived, she found someone already there.
The café owner, Xiao Mimi, who had just warmly greeted them, was standing there holding a brownish-black gem shaped like a cat’s head.
Hearing Xia Mo’s footsteps, her movements froze instantly.
Their eyes met in midair, and both saw a similar mix of surprise and embarrassment in the other’s gaze.
“If you have any needs, dear customer, the staff inside can help. No need to come looking for me specifically,” Xiao Mimi said, a bead of sweat rolling down her forehead as she hid the gem behind her back.
Xia Mo’s expression was far more complicated.
As a magical girl with years of combat experience, how could she not recognize the gem in Xiao Mimi’s hand?
It was a magical gem needed for a magical girl’s transformation!
This café owner was her junior!
“…It’s nothing. You must have something important to do, Miss Owner. I’ll just check over there.” Xia Mo pressed her fist to her lips. In this situation, it was better to avoid the issue altogether.
She’d transform here after Xiao Mimi finished and left.
With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Xiao Mimi alone, her heart pounding.
After Xia Mo left, the girl clutched her hair and wailed, “I’m done for! She definitely figured it out! She totally knows!”
That complicated look in her eyes must mean she’d guessed Xiao Mimi’s magical girl identity!
This place was so hidden—how did that customer come straight here?
Something’s not right!
A magical girl’s identity must be kept secret for their safety.
While being discovered might not necessarily lead to danger, it certainly increased the risk.
And nowadays, people had a peculiar enthusiasm for magical girls.
If her identity as a magical girl got exposed… just thinking about it made Xiao Mimi shudder.
Maybe she should ask the Director to erase that customer’s memory!
The Magic Department must have that kind of technology, right?
Strands of dark energy began to emanate from Xiao Mimi, making her entire presence feel eerie.
“The monster has fully formed, and the portable containment device is about to fail! Siam, how many minutes do you need?”
The Director’s anxious voice came through the earpiece in Xiao Mimi’s right ear, snapping her out of her thoughts.
Now wasn’t the time to worry about whether the Magic Department had mind-wiping tech!
“Argh, I don’t care anymore!”
Raising the magical gem high above her head, Xiao Mimi shouted her transformation phrase, “Kitty, grant me power!”
A flash of brown light passed, and mechanical cat ears appeared on Xiao Mimi’s head.
A nimble mechanical tail sprouted behind her, and her maid outfit was replaced by a quintessentially magical girl costume.
Yes, she was the third and final magical girl in Star Sea City—Siam!
Bending her knees slightly, she leaped, rocketing into the sky.
“I’m on my way, meow!”
Less than half a minute after she left, Xia Mo returned to the spot with a complicated expression.
Ordinary people might not have seen the figure that just shot into the sky, but she saw it clearly.
So, Siam was that kind of girl, Xia Mo thought to herself.
Her transformed appearance was quite different, yet there were faint similarities—classic traits of a rookie magical girl.
“After this is over, I need to have a heart-to-heart with Siam,” Xia Mo said, reaching toward her chest.
A purple glow gathered in her palm, forming a translucent, flower-shaped gem.
“But before that, let’s deal with the monster that dared to interrupt my break!”
After witnessing Siam’s transformation, this hidden corner welcomed yet another magical girl’s transformation… or perhaps, it had witnessed even more?
