After submitting the data to the Magic Department, Luo Shuangyue didn’t pay much attention to developments on that front.
After all, she was part of Eternal Night, and the Magic Department’s affairs had nothing to do with her.
She only needed to obediently cooperate with the experimental research on her side and that was enough.
Then, it was Xia Mo’s reminder that made her realize something important.
“Have you not given us any special training for a long time?” That night, Xia Mo asked Luo Shuangyue.
Come to think of it, White Night’s special training had almost stopped for half a month.
“After coming back, there were too many things to handle, so I forgot… Actually, you guys can train yourselves. It’s not like you can only train if I’m there,” Luo Shuangyue said after a moment’s pause while tidying things up on the sofa.
She had been really busy these days, and if it weren’t for Xia Mo’s reminder, she would have truly forgotten about it.
But honestly, White Night’s special training had become somewhat optional for the girls in Xinghai City. If Xia Mo wanted real combat practice, she could just go find Luo Xiangyue directly, and Luo Shuangxing could grow simply by pushing herself to her limits.
As for Xiao Mimi… Luo Shuangyue honestly didn’t know how to train this catgirl. The previous special training she gave her was very basic, mostly focusing on melee harassment.
“I’ll write up another training plan for you. Just follow that on your own,” Luo Shuangyue offered.
“What, don’t like us anymore?” Xia Mo walked behind Luo Shuangyue, wrapping her arms around her neck and leaning her head against Luo Shuangyue’s ear, whispering softly.
Luo Shuangyue awkwardly chuckled a couple of times. It wasn’t that she disliked them; she just felt embarrassed.
You two already know my identity, so why should I keep pretending to be your senior, White Night? Do you really think I want to act like your mother?
Just take the training plan and practice by yourselves—that’s it. Luo Shuangyue trusted the three Magical Girls in Xinghai City to be diligent and self-disciplined.
They didn’t need supervision.
“School starts in a few days. You’re fine, but Shuangxing and Mimi are still in high school, so only weekends are free for special training,” Luo Shuangyue added.
The reason everyone seemed so free before was that it was summer vacation. Once it ended, everyone would have to go back to the grind, especially Luo Shuangxing and Xiao Mimi, who were both in high school.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiangyue and Xia Mo had escaped that misery—they were university students with more free time than those unlucky two.
“By the way, I don’t think I ever asked what major you chose?” Luo Shuangyue said.
She only heard Xia Mo mention that she was admitted to Xinghai City’s best university: Xinghai University.
But Luo Shuangyue never asked what Xia Mo’s major was.
“Magical Girl major.”
“?”
Luo Shuangyue was stunned again. She had no idea her senior university even had such a major.
“It’s specifically for Magical Girls. It’s normal for you not to know,” Xia Mo explained.
Her major wasn’t ordinary, and the professors who taught her courses weren’t ordinary either.
Besides some required courses she had to audit in other departments, most of her classes were held at the Magic Department.
In fact, Xia Mo was basically just enrolled at Xinghai University on paper; in reality, she spent more time at the Magic Department than at the university.
As for homework and exams? She didn’t have to worry about those either. They were always full marks. The Magic Department wouldn’t let their Magical Girls juggle monster fighting and academic stress.
You fight monsters, we’ll solve your worries about studies. No matter how your grades look, a simple adjustment by the invisible big hand is easy enough.
“Are you trying to brag to your friends that you’ve got a super beautiful girlfriend?” Xia Mo giggled.
Brag to friends… Luo Shuangyue thought about a few of her close classmates. If they knew a beauty like Xia Mo was hers, the scene would be wild.
It would be chaos like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, the sun and moon darkened.
“No, no…” Luo Shuangyue broke out in a cold sweat.
“Oh? So you’re embarrassed and don’t want your friends to know you’ve got such a lousy girlfriend like me?”
More cold sweat rolled down Luo Shuangyue’s forehead.
Wow, how was she supposed to answer that? Whatever she said would seem like a dead-end.
Is this what dating feels like? Is this what it’s like when your girlfriend is even more domineering than you?
“It’s not that, I mean… well…” Luo Shuangyue stammered, trying to explain but didn’t know how.
Luckily, Xia Mo wasn’t trying to make things difficult; she was just teasing.
Seeing Luo Shuangyue’s embarrassed expression, Xia Mo laughed like silver bells and lightly pinched Luo Xiangyue’s cheek, signaling she wasn’t unreasonable.
Since Luo Shuangyue didn’t want too many people to know about their relationship, she’d just keep it secret for now.
After all, Xia Mo wasn’t the type to boast. She’d be satisfied just keeping Luo Shuangyue close.
Just then, Luo Shuangxing came in through the door. Seeing Xia Mo and Luo Shuangyue hugging in the living room, her expression turned complicated.
It was as if she was saying, “I know you’re in your honeymoon phase, but can you at least respect the feelings of this single dog?”
You guys like this makes me so awkward!
Ignoring it wasn’t really an option, but she also didn’t know what to say after seeing it.
She could only force out through clenched teeth, “Carry on, don’t mind me.”
“Cough, Shuangxing, has your school’s start date been set?” Luo Shuangyue quickly pulled back from Xia Mo’s embrace and took the chance to ask about Shuangxing’s studies.
“It’s set, the usual time. Just thinking about the upcoming senior year, which you all call hell, makes me feel hopeless,” Luo Shuangxing sighed deeply, showing genuine sorrow.
But everyone knew she was faking it. As a Magical Girl under the Magic Department, she was already guaranteed admission to Xinghai University’s Magical Girl major.
Study? Not needed!
“Want me to take you?”
“Sure, but can you wear the same outfit as last time?” Luo Shuangxing didn’t refuse; instead, she made a slightly unreasonable request.
She wanted Luo Shuangyue to dress in women’s clothes when taking her to school.
Upon hearing this, Luo Shuangyue immediately felt uneasy. This couldn’t be done!
Her cross-dressing was not something to take lightly.
For Luo Shuangyue, women’s clothing was taboo, like the protagonist’s final trump card—it could only come out at critical moments.
“What? You’re asking how Lord Dark Moth can just wear women’s clothes so obediently?”
Hey, don’t say that. Lord Dark Moth is Lord Dark Moth; Luo Shuangyue is Luo Shuangyue. They’re not the same!
Luo Shuangyue was a man, an older brother. She couldn’t wear women’s clothes regularly.
Otherwise, what’s the difference between her and Lord Dark Moth?
“No way!” Luo Shuangyue firmly refused. “Impossible! Last time was the last time!”
Luo Shuangxing ignored her triple refusal. “You say last time was the last time? Haven’t you heard the saying that cross-dressing only has zero times and countless times?”
Seeing that Luo Shuangxing was about to argue the cross-dressing topic with Luo Shuangyue, Xia Mo immediately put on a “ready for the show” expression and moved aside.
She was eager to see Luo Shuangyue’s gradual surrender under her sister’s fierce assault.
Yes, Xia Mo was certain Luo Shuangyue would be forced to wear women’s clothes this time.
It wasn’t about Luo Shuangyue’s current feelings but the consensus they had reached earlier.
Back in Jidong City, Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo had agreed that at home, Luo Shuangyue could keep her identity as the brother, but she had to slowly show a change.
To put it plainly, Luo Shuangyue had to slowly move toward a female identity, gradually turning from brother into sister.
And this transformation had to start with clothing.
Who has a sister that wears men’s clothes every day? At least, not the Luo family’s sister.
So when Luo Shuangxing asked Luo Shuangyue to cross-dress, Luo Shuangyue could stubbornly refuse once or twice.
But if Luo Shuangxing kept pressing, she wouldn’t be able to refuse.
“I’m your brother! Do you want me to become some ambiguous figure?” Luo Shuangyue cried out in despair.
Luo Shuangxing didn’t hold back: “Bro, you’re already ambiguous. No matter how much you wear men’s clothes, you can’t look more like a man.
So you might as well go all the way. If you can’t be a man and don’t want to be ambiguous, isn’t there only one choice?
Wear this dress and completely become a woman—that’s perfect.”
“Besides, you’ve already appeared before the Class Monitor as my sister. If you show up again as my brother in men’s clothes, how do you think she’ll see me?” Luo Shuangxing asked sternly.
She realized introducing Luo Shuangyue as her sister to the Class Monitor was a good move; she could now use it as a reason to continue pressuring her brother to cross-dress.
“You don’t want your little sister to be mocked or socially isolated by classmates just because her brother is a cross-dressing pervert, right?”
Luo Shuangyue’s head went blank. If she understood correctly, Luo Shuangxing meant that to prevent being bullied for having a cross-dressing pervert brother, she really had to become a cross-dressing pervert herself?
Only then could she escape that label?
Huh?
What kind of logic was that?
Luo Shuangyue thought this logic was seriously flawed, but on second thought, it was perfectly sound.
As long as she kept wearing women’s clothes, no one would doubt her identity as Luo Shuangxing’s sister.
So naturally, she wouldn’t be seen as a cross-dressing pervert.
But if she appeared in men’s clothes as Luo Shuangyue, her brother, then that would seal the label.
It all came down to that first time she cross-dressed!
“I… this…” Luo Shuangyue stammered two indistinct words.
No good, she really couldn’t refute Luo Shuangxing’s excuse!
“So, for your sister’s happiness, bro, just bear with it a little. I’ll help you prepare the clothes. You just need to keep yourself clean and smelling nice,” Luo Shuangxing said, seeing Luo Shuangyue’s helpless expression.
She knew her plan had succeeded.
Luo Shuangyue’s dumbfounded look clearly meant she couldn’t find an excuse to refuse anymore.
All she had to do was press her advantage and she could easily get her reluctant sister to give in.
After all, her sister secretly didn’t dislike cross-dressing. When she was Lord Dark Moth, she dressed boldly. Now with a new identity, she just refused? No way!
If she pushed just a little harder and gave an unrefutable reason, her sister would have no choice but to wear women’s clothes.
Maybe she would even secretly feel relieved to finally wear them in this identity.
What Luo Shuangxing wanted was simple: to make cross-dressing a habit for the Luo Shuangyue identity.
If she wore it enough times, cross-dressing would become part of Luo Shuangyue’s life.
Then her plan to raise her sister would be complete!
“Don’t pick anything too outrageous,” Luo Shuangyue finally sighed and chose to comply.
Not just because Luo Shuangxing’s reasoning was good, but also because Xia Mo beside her was silently signaling that the act was over and she should agree.
From the start, Luo Shuangyue never really had the right to refuse.
As for whether Luo Shuangxing would pull any tricks… Luo Shuangyue thought she could trust her little sister somewhat.
Shuangxing might have some quirks, but when it came to caring for her sister, she was reliable.
She wanted to keep her sister to herself at home and wouldn’t let her lose face in front of others.
“Don’t worry, bro, I’ll talk with Xia Mo to prepare a more mature outfit for you,” Luo Shuangxing gave Luo Shuangyue a thumbs-up and pulled Xia Mo over to strengthen the credibility of her words.
“You don’t have to believe me, but you should at least believe your girlfriend, right?”
Hearing this, Xia Mo immediately nodded, promising she would definitely help Luo Shuangyue pick out the right clothes!
“If it’s more mature, let’s make black the main color. I remember Shuangyue likes black the most,” Xia Mo said with an innocent expression, tapping her chin with her index finger.
Luo Shuangyue’s expression stiffened.
Don’t say these things in public! And I really don’t like black!
But no one paid attention to her inner screams. Luo Shuangxing, upon hearing Xia Mo’s suggestion, pounded her palm and gave a knowing look.
“Oh, my good sister likes this? Tsk, tsk, tsk, quite tasteful after all.”
