“This… that can’t be, right?” After hearing Luo Shuangxing’s guess, Xia Mo’s face showed an expression of disbelief.
Her childhood friend isn’t actually a boy, but a girl? And she’s the villainous girl who injured her?
How could something like this be possible?!
Leaving aside the fact that Luo Shuangyue has always appeared before her as a boy, for such a long time, Shuangyue doesn’t seem like someone who would be associated with the words “villain” or “bad guy.”
“I don’t want to believe it either, but there are just too many suspicious points about big brother now!” Luo Shuangxing hugged her chest, her expression also somewhat complex.
“Sister Xia Mo, do you have a feeling that Dark Moth’s attitude towards you isn’t quite normal?”
“She’s a bad person, a bad person who initially attacked you very harshly, but later when we encountered her, didn’t she go easier?”
Xia Mo thought back for a moment, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
When Dark Moth fought her before, she had no intention of holding back at all; she was aiming to disintegrate her.
But in the one or two times after that, she could clearly feel that Dark Moth seemed to hold back a bit when fighting her, as if she was deliberately going easy on her.
The turning point for everything was the time she was disintegrated!
That time, Dark Moth saw her appearance, but unusually wrapped her in a large cocoon, preventing others from seeing her… Now, thinking back, this seemed like Dark Moth protecting her?
A magical girl whose true identity has been exposed is now only occasionally visited by a Dark Moth who doesn’t seem to bear much ill will, which is truly a bit strange.
“But… that can’t be confirmed, can it?”
“Yes, everything is still just my guess, but I have a way to verify this guess!” Luo Shuangxing clenched her small fists.
“Scent! The scent of Dark Moth after transformation is very similar to big brother’s, so what about Dark Moth before transformation?”
“Sister Xia Mo, the next time you encounter Dark Moth, you can be a little more proactive and smell her scent, then come back and compare it to big brother’s.”
“If they’re the same… then it can be confirmed!”
Luo Shuangxing’s method was quite simple and direct: using a magical girl’s superb senses to identify.
As long as Luo Shuangyue’s and Dark Moth’s scents matched, then the two were the same person!
“Ah?” Hearing this method, Xia Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Actively getting close to smell Dark Moth’s scent, that was too shy.
Although Dark Moth had approached her actively before, she hadn’t seriously tried to remember Dark Moth’s scent.
Otherwise, she could just rush into Luo Shuangyue’s room now and smell Luo Shuangyue.
“Sister Xia Mo, I’m counting on you for this!” Luo Shuangxing reached out and pressed Xia Mo’s shoulder, saying with a serious expression, “As long as there’s affection, gender doesn’t really matter!”
“But, if Shuangyue really is Dark Moth then…”
Xia Mo felt her head spinning; she needed some time to process everything.
Her childhood friend is actually her enemy? The person she likes is actually a girl?
Wow, Xia Mo didn’t even know how she would face these feelings if these things were true!
“Sister Xia Mo, if my brother really is Dark Moth, let’s both teach her a good lesson!” Luo Shuangxing was rubbing her hands together, completely lacking Xia Mo’s complex thoughts.
For her, her brother suddenly becoming her sister was actually a good thing.
With a sister, when they roughhouse, she wouldn’t have to be as mindful of distance as with a brother; she could do things that were a little more over the line.
And, Dark Moth, that guy loves to bully her so much.
If that guy really is her brother, hehehe!
Clenching her small fists, Luo Shuangxing displayed an incredibly benevolent smile.
“You like to bully me in different ways, huh? Just you wait until I get my hands on you!”
Looking at the eager Luo Shuangxing, Xia Mo suddenly felt a difference in their thoughts.
She was hoping Shuangyue wasn’t Dark Moth, while Shuangxing seemed to be hoping Shuangyue was Dark Moth.
A sister who so eagerly wished her brother was actually a sister must be rare in this world, right?
While his sister and childhood friend were starting to suspect his identity, Luo Shuangyue was wondering how his sister came up with that kind of question.
Is there something wrong with my usual behavior? No, there isn’t. Isn’t this just what an ordinary brother would do?
Luo Shuangyue carefully reviewed his recent actions and found not a single problem.
He wore men’s clothes, and his behavior was masculine.
At most, because of his appearance, he looked like a girl trying to impersonate a boy.
So how did Luo Shuangxing become suspicious?
Luo Shuangyue scratched his head, completely at a loss.
Could it really be because of some so-called scent? He raised his arm and sniffed it; there was no smell.
He couldn’t figure it out.
However, since his sister was suspicious, he needed to take it seriously.
Luo Shuangyue stroked his chin, deciding to move his female clothes in the room to a safer place, lest his audacious sister pick the lock and search his room when he was out.
If those clothes were seen, it wouldn’t be something that could be explained away with just a word or two.
Given Luo Shuangxing’s personality, she probably wouldn’t give up until she pulled down his pants to confirm his identity.
And if Luo Shuangyue fiercely resisted and didn’t let his sister pull them down, it wouldn’t be much different from a self-incriminating admission…
“Sigh, this is difficult.”
The situation Luo Shuangyue feared most had finally appeared.
What he had always worried about most was his sister, living under the same roof, discovering his abnormality.
And after worrying for so long, he still couldn’t find a way to get by.
As long as Luo Shuangxing insisted on not giving up until she saw physical proof, Luo Shuangyue had no choice.
Because the physical proof was indeed gone!
He couldn’t produce any convincing evidence to make his sister believe he was her brother!
Or… should he stop hiding it? An idea popped into Luo Shuangyue’s mind.
If he couldn’t find a way to keep hiding it, it seemed he could only confess!
Just secretly tell his sister about it, and then ask her to keep it a secret for him; that should work, right? Covering his head, Luo Shuangyue let out a troubled sound.
Reason… for the reason, he could say that he was actually chosen by a magic gem to become a magical girl, secretly protecting the peace and tranquility of the city!
Anyway, Dark Moth’s transformation is similar to a magical girl’s; it should definitely be enough to fool Luo Shuangxing, this little girl who knows nothing.
“I hope she doesn’t take this to heart, otherwise, this is really the only way.”
