After asking a series of questions, Long Wen nodded in satisfaction, and the look she gave Luo Shuangyue was now filled with genuine goodwill.
She could sense the wonderful qualities deep in this girl’s heart—this was truly a companion.
“Alright, we’ve basically understood the situation. I still have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay to chat with you all.” Long Wen reached out and patted Luo Shuangyue on the shoulder, smiling as she spoke.
“You all live in the same city. Even though you belong to different organizations, you should communicate and cooperate more when facing difficulties. One person’s strength is limited. Only when we work together with our companions can we have the power to overcome anything.”
After saying this, Long Wen gave Xia Mo an encouraging look, as if to say, “I’ll leave them to you now. The rest is up to how you all perform.”
Having done all this, Long Wen stood up and left the café in a gust of wind, with the two girls waiting by the door following her out.
As three beams of light lit up at the entrance of the café, Luo Shuangyue stared blankly as the three uniquely dressed Magical Girls flew straight up into the sky.
Two just blossomed, one in full bloom—they really are giving her face, huh.
Watching these three top-tier Magical Girls leave, Luo Shuangyue immediately jumped down from her seat, planning to slip away quickly and avoid letting Xia Mo and her sister notice the problem with her clothes.
Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
Just as she showed signs of wanting to leave, Luo Shuangxing grabbed her wrist and pushed her right back into her seat.
“Mimi, prepare a cup of coffee for our Miss Butterfly,” she casually ordered Xiao Mimi.
Xiao Mimi glared at Luo Shuangxing with a bit of grievance but still turned to start making coffee for everyone, while Luo Shuangxing circled around Luo Shuangyue, glancing at her face from left to right, her expression full of curiosity.
“Your outfit today really says something. I didn’t know you could wear something like this.”
Rubbing her chin, Luo Shuangxing circled the fidgeting Luo Shuangyue twice, muttering softly.
These words instantly set off alarm bells in Luo Shuangyue’s mind.
Sis, you can’t be this sharp, right? Aren’t you usually the clueless one?
Why are you suddenly so sharp now?
“Xia Mo, look, isn’t it like this?” Pulling Luo Shuangyue to her side, Luo Shuangxing grinned as she asked Xia Mo.
Resting her chin in her hand, Xia Mo smiled as she watched the two.
She, of course, knew Luo Shuangxing was teasing her brother, but seeing Shuangyue’s awkward appearance, Xia Mo thought it was pretty amusing too.
So she deliberately put on a thoughtful look, and after over ten seconds, she hesitantly said, “Hmm, today Lord Dark Moth really does look like your older sister, Shuangxing.”
Xia Mo wasn’t just making things up—once their dressing style matched, Lord Dark Moth and Luo Shuangxing did look a bit alike, the kind of resemblance that made their relationship obvious at a glance.
“Shuangxing, don’t tell me you have a long-lost sister?”
“Do I?” Luo Shuangxing tapped her chin with her finger, looking confused.
Seeing Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing about to blow her cover with their back-and-forth, Luo Shuangyue could only cough loudly and forcefully interrupt their conversation.
She couldn’t let them continue this dangerous topic.
If they kept talking, they’d definitely start suspecting her!
Luo Shuangyue could tell that Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing were just joking around, but jokes, if pushed too far, could easily become serious thoughts.
They must not think too seriously about this!
“What are you two talking about? Do I really look that much like her?”
Before Xia Mo or Luo Shuangxing could answer, Xiao Mimi, who was making coffee, suddenly turned and said, “Miss Moth and Shuangxing really do look alike. When I first saw you, I thought you were sisters.”
This one line from Xiao Mimi plunged Luo Shuangyue into silence.
Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing were just teasing, but Xiao Mimi wasn’t!
Her tone was as if to say, “So I’m not the only one who thinks so.”
If one or two people close to her thought Lord Dark Moth and Luo Shuangxing looked alike, it was nothing.
But when a third person, not so close, came to the same conclusion, this was no longer something that could be brushed off with a laugh.
Xiao Mimi, this girl, really dealt the most critical blow at the most crucial moment.
Hajimi! You’re really too much!!
“Could it be… I really do have a long-lost sister?” Luo Shuangxing drew in a sharp breath, though her expression was so exaggerated that Luo Shuangyue could immediately tell she was acting.
“Absolutely impossible,” Luo Shuangyue retorted forcefully.
“Then why don’t we do a test? One hair, one drop of blood, that’s all it takes~”
“In your dreams. I don’t want an annoying sister like you.”
“That’s really hurtful… Sigh, Lord Dark Moth, what do you think of what Senior Long Wen said?”
Luo Shuangxing knew that if this went on, Luo Shuangyue’s cover would be completely blown, so she somewhat awkwardly changed the topic.
Before leaving, Long Wen had told Lord Dark Moth and the Magical Girls to communicate and get along, basically meaning Lord Dark Moth shouldn’t go against the Magical Girls anymore—wouldn’t it be nice if everyone just worked together to fight monsters?
It didn’t matter if you weren’t from the Magic Department, as long as you were a Magical Girl.
“As long as you all don’t come running to me for attention and ruin my plans, I couldn’t care less about you.”
The dangerous topic finally over, Luo Shuangyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To keep Luo Shuangxing from bringing up the past, she softened her attitude a little.
Given the current situation, even if she wanted to be tough, she couldn’t be too stubborn.
They’d already fought side by side so many times—how could she still pretend they’d be enemies next time they met?
Eternal Night and the Magical Girls were never mortal enemies to begin with.
The only reason she fought Xia Mo before was because the commotion caused when retrieving the Sealing Card would draw the Magical Girls over.
Now that things had been made clear, that kind of situation probably wouldn’t happen anymore… right?
“I can’t make that promise, Lord Dark Moth. The thing you want is something I want too,” Xia Mo suddenly spoke up.
“The Sealing Card—I won’t just hand it over to you.”
From Xia Mo’s tone, it sounded like she wanted to compete with me for the Sealing Card? Luo Shuangyue saw the intense fighting spirit in Xia Mo’s eyes.
Looks like what Night Scale said last night had sparked Xia Mo’s interest in the Sealing Card too… Now, things were going to get a bit more complicated.
