“Oh ho!” Luo Shuangxing slammed her fist into her palm.
It was confirmed—absolutely confirmed!
Time to change how she addressed her!
Brother, no—! The scent on Sister is just like Dark Moth’s, and there’s even a wound on her left shoulder.
Isn’t this direct confirmation?
Where was Dark Moth injured yesterday? Left shoulder!
Where is Luo Shuangyue injured now? Also the left shoulder!
And their scents are identical—if this isn’t proof, then Luo Shuangxing would twist off her own head!
“How could this happen…” Compared to Luo Shuangxing’s excitement, Xia Mo’s expression was a bit dazed.
The boy she had liked for so many years suddenly turned out to be a girl.
Anyone would find that hard to handle.
Although Shuangyue never looked much like a boy, Xia Mo had always thought of Luo Shuangyue as a guy.
Now, being told that Luo Shuangyue was actually a girl all along was just too much for her to accept.
And on top of that, Shuangyue was actually Dark Moth—a member of an evil organization…
“Shuangxing, what should we do now?” Xia Mo looked at Luo Shuangxing, hoping for some advice.
Should she just confront Luo Shuangyue directly, telling her she already knew everything about her secret? Or should she wait for now…
“It’s not impossible to confront her right now, but don’t you think that would be too easy on Brother?” Luo Shuangxing shook her head decisively as she spoke to Xia Mo.
“Besides, if we do it now, everyone will feel awkward. Why don’t we first get used to Brother being a girl, and then reveal everything when the time is right?”
Finding out that the “brother” (her childhood friend) she’d known for over ten years was actually a girl—just hearing it sounded absurd.
Adjusting to this new relationship would be a challenge for both Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing.
“Since we’re sure now that Brother is Dark Moth, Xia Mo, you could just approach Dark Moth directly. Now that we know, Dark Moth is just Brother with long hair and colored contacts. Get closer to her as Dark Moth, and when it’s time to come clean, you can switch over seamlessly.”
Luo Shuangxing offered Xia Mo an idea.
If they confronted Luo Shuangyue right away, their relationship might just become unbearably awkward.
But if they pretended not to know, and got used to interacting with her as a girl, then when the truth finally came out, it wouldn’t be so hard to adjust.
Much more convenient that way.
“Xia Mo, you absolutely have to buy Brother a few more pretty outfits. Just look at her previous style—so plain! She’s totally wasting her good looks!”
“Huh?”
“You’ve got the Sealing Card she wants, right? Use that to lure her out, then take her shopping for clothes!” Luo Shuangxing continued to egg Xia Mo on.
“Xia Mo, just treat Dark Moth and Brother as the same person. Whatever clothes you put on Dark Moth, you’re really putting on Brother.”
“Don’t you want to see what Brother looks like in pretty clothes?”
Imagining Shuangyue in those beautiful outfits… Xia Mo felt her heart beating a little faster.
She bet Shuangyue would look really good.
“…Maybe a little…”
“Then that’s settled! You’ve got the leverage now, Xia Mo, so use it and get her to listen to you! Hehehe!” Just thinking about what her mischievous brother was about to face, Luo Shuangxing couldn’t help but let out a sly laugh.
Decision made.
When Xia Mo took Brother shopping for new clothes, she’d secretly follow them and snap a few photos of Brother in her new outfits!
Xia Mo lowered her head, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
She still felt a little embarrassed, but Shuangxing was right—she really did need to get used to interacting with Shuangyue as a girl.
And Dark Moth was the perfect stand-in!
“Ask me to meet at Commercial Street tomorrow to talk about the Sealing Card? What is Xia Mo up to?” Seeing the message Xia Mo sent her, Luo Shuangyue looked confused.
She felt like Xia Mo had been acting a little off lately, especially today—suddenly coming close like a kitten, taking a sniff, and then leaving with a complicated expression without saying a word.
So weird.
And now this message was even weirder.
Luo Shuangyue never expected to get the Serpent Demon King Sealing Card back anyway.
Once Xia Mo took it, shouldn’t she have handed it straight over to the Magic Department?
Why would Xia Mo be hiding it?
She just didn’t get it.
Luo Shuangyue scratched her hair, feeling like confusing things had been popping up one after another lately.
First, she found out her childhood friend was a Magical Girl.
Then her little sister was a Magical Girl too.
And before she knew that, she’d even managed to offend them both under her other identity.
If her true identity was revealed, maybe Xia would laugh it off, but her sister definitely wouldn’t let her off the hook.
Luo Shuangyue knew exactly how petty her dear sister could be.
“My clothes are still over at Jiu Ye’s place… I’ll have to swing by tomorrow to change first.” The downside of only having one set of clothes was finally showing.
Even changing into something different was a hassle.
If this were a permanent place, Luo Shuangyue would never have brought so few changes of clothes.
Before, she’d prepared three sets of girls’ clothes just in case.
Too bad all three sets had been ruined by now.
“I’ll be there on time.” She replied to Xia Mo, who lived just next door, and felt a strange sense of awkwardness.
They were neighbors—she could just walk a few steps and find her, yet here they were texting.
How odd.
“How’s your injury? If you need, you can come to our Magic Department for treatment.” Xia Mo’s reply was quick—she must have been waiting by her phone.
As for her concern and suggestion, Luo Shuangyue refused without hesitation.
What a joke—she’d be exposing herself if she went to the Magic Department! Besides, the Magic Department couldn’t hold a candle to Monice when it came to medical skills.
Monice was a true expert—even capable of human modification.
The Magic Department definitely couldn’t do that.
Just look at Jiu Ye, a real catgirl—something the Magic Department could never achieve.
“No need. We’re enemies. Don’t treat me like your juniors.”
Enemies, huh? Seeing those words on her screen, Xia Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
If it were before, she might have believed that claim.
But now, knowing it was Shuangyue saying it, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Since we’re enemies, don’t blame me for doing what an enemy should do to you.”
