Chapter 59: Merely Suggestive Regulations

“Hmm, mhm… what? Someone saw you transform? What did they look like? Do you have a photo? Okay, I’ll handle this.”

Hanging up the phone, the Director’s face showed a troubled expression.

This Siam really had gotten her into a bit of a pickle, not too big, not too small.

Being seen transforming by an ordinary person wasn’t a huge deal, generally.

Normally, the Ministry of Magic would look for the eyewitness based on the magical girl’s description and have a friendly chat with them, getting them to voluntarily keep the magical girl’s identity a secret.

Under normal circumstances, eyewitnesses would be very willing to accept the Ministry of Magic’s terms.

“Let me see who saw Siam…”

Clicking on the picture Siam sent, the Director gasped.

Wait, isn’t the girl in this photo Rosemary?

How could it be her?

Just then, the Director’s phone vibrated again, and the caller was none other than Rosemary, whose photo she had just seen.

“Director…”

“Don’t say anything yet, let me guess, are you going to talk to me about Siam?” Before Xia Mo could finish speaking, the Director preempted her with a ‘tired of love’ tone.

Xia Mo on the other end of the phone was silent for a second, then let out a surprised sound.

“Director, how did you know?”

“Siam just called me.”

“Oh, I see… Then Director must know what I want to say, right?”

What else could it be? She definitely wanted to talk about something related to Siam.

The Director didn’t even need to guess to know what Xia Mo wanted to tell her.

Knowing Rosemary, the Director figured this call from Rosemary must be to ask if she could reveal her identity to Siam.

“You want to ask me if you can tell Siam that you’re actually Rosemary, right?”

“…Yes. After I saw Siam, she’s been very nervous. I’m worried that if this continues, she might develop psychological issues,” Xia Mo replied with a definite answer.

A magical girl’s power depends on her inner self.

If her state of mind is unstable, her magical girl abilities will also be affected.

The emotional changes Siam showed after being seen transforming made Xia Mo feel she couldn’t just stand by.

“The Ministry of Magic won’t interfere with private communication between magical girls, and not exposing one’s identity to outsiders is just a suggestion from the Ministry of Magic,” the Director said softly to Xia Mo after a half-second of silence.

“Actually, many magical girls in the Ministry of Magic know each other’s real identities, especially magical girls above the ‘First Bloom’ level; their identities are almost openly known.”

The Ministry of Magic’s regulations were just that—regulations.

They didn’t have specific penalties, making them more for show.

Magical girls revealing their identities to their comrades was also a way to deepen their relationships, so how could the Ministry of Magic truly prevent it?

“In my capacity as Director, I wouldn’t advise you to do this, but as your senior, I think it’s quite good for you to do so,” the Director said to Xia Mo with a slight cough.

“…Mm, thank you, Director. I know what to do now!”

After hanging up with the Director, Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

She had initially thought the Director would forbid her from revealing her identity to Siam, but she never expected the Director to be so open-minded, even telling her that the rule against exposing one’s identity wasn’t strictly enforced at all.

With that, the pressure on her heart was significantly lessened.

“Sister Xia Mo! What do you want for dinner tonight?!” Luo Shuangxing’s voice came from a distance, gradually getting closer.

Xia Mo quickly put her phone back in her pocket.

The next moment she did, Luo Shuangxing’s arm wrapped around her neck.

“Hehe, it’s just the two of us tonight.”

Although she already considered Xia Mo her future sister-in-law, Luo Shuangxing had no intention of keeping her distance from Xia Mo.

On the contrary, she loved to snuggle with Xia Mo.

In her own words, Xia Mo had a very special scent that made her want to get close.

In fact, she wasn’t wrong.

However, the reason she got close to Xia Mo was because Xia Mo’s scent was very similar to Senior Rosemary’s, and she couldn’t help but want to cling to her for a hug.

Compared to her bad brother who loved to tease people, a gentle and beautiful older sister like Xia Mo was simply Luo Shuangxing’s favorite.

If it weren’t for the mutual affection between Sister Xia Mo and her brother, Luo Shuangxing would definitely try to win Xia Mo over.

“Shuangxing, stop it, it tickles,” Xia Mo said softly, twisting her body slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After learning that Xiao Mimi was Siam, she suddenly became curious about Lily of the Valley’s identity.

And Xia Mo’s number one suspect was the girl behind her, who was currently hugging her and acting spoiled.

You see, Lily of the Valley has white hair and golden eyes, and Shuangxing also has white hair and golden eyes.

Lily of the Valley likes to be spoiled by Rosemary, and Shuangxing also likes to be spoiled by her.

The similarities between these two girls were simply too many.

Plus, Shuangxing’s hurried departure today was exactly like a magical girl!

Should she find an opportunity to subtly test Shuangxing? Xia Mo secretly wondered.
