“Didn’t win?”
“It was my carelessness. I won’t make the same mistake next time.”
After the night grew quiet, Luo Shuangyue took out her phone and began reporting to Monis about the events of the day.
The news that the Dark Butterfly had lost to the magical girl, Rosemary, and was overwhelmed by the brilliant magic cannon was already spreading across the evil organizations of Xinghai City, becoming a hot topic among many strange people.
Monis, the infamous leader of the Extreme Night organization and a notorious scientific genius, expressed her dissatisfaction with Luo Shuangyue’s defeat.
“Losing like this? You’ve lost all face…”
Ahem, anyway, Monis wasn’t pleased with Luo Shuangyue’s defeat.
“You’re the second-in-command, and you can’t even beat an injured rookie? This is embarrassing!”
“Well, at least I tied with her once. Look at the others, their records are worse than mine!”
Luo Shuangyue defended herself.
Yes, she admitted her defeat was quite ugly, but at least she had won once.
The other bad guys in Xinghai City hadn’t won against Rosemary even once.
Compared to them, Dark Butterfly had the most impressive record.
Monis remained silent for a while, realizing that Luo Shuangyue had a point.
No other villain had won against Rosemary.
“Fine, I’ll let you off this time,” Monis finally said.
“How’s your condition? If you need, you can come to the base for treatment.”
Go to Extreme Night’s base for treatment?
Luo Shuangyue quickly typed ‘no’ into the chat box.
She felt fine and didn’t want to end up with strange additions to her body after treatment.
After all, Monis’s favorite hobby was experimenting and modifying people, like how Jiuye’s cat ears and tail were her doing.
“My injuries aren’t serious. Don’t worry about it.”
“Okay, then take Jiuye with you to the transaction in four days.”
Luo Shuangyue stared at her phone, her face flashing with suspicion and shock.
“Sister, I just got hit by the magical girl’s cannon! Even though I said I’m fine, you can’t really think I’m fine, right?”
“…Can I take back my words?”
“The item for the trade is a sealing card left by Bai Ye. Are you really not going?”
“No, I want to go! I’m in perfect health!”
Luo Shuangyue had joined Extreme Night specifically for the sealing cards left by her mother.
Even if she was half-paralyzed and lying in bed, she would find a way to get up and get the card in four days.
After all, it was left by her own mother!
While Luo Shuangyue was contemplating what preparations she needed to make for this trip, a pair of pale golden eyes suddenly lit up behind her.
“Brother~ What did I tell you, hmm?”
Luo Shuangxing’s low voice rang in her ears.
Luo Shuangyue immediately froze, a cold shiver running down her neck as though the scythe of death was hanging over her.
She quickly turned around and forced a smile at her sister.
“Just some work stuff, please understand.”
With her hands on her hips, Luo Shuangxing gave her a look that was half helpless and half annoyed.
While she was touched that her brother cared about work even late at night, she also wanted her brother to focus on taking care of his own health first.
“Rest well. I’ll return your phone to you tomorrow morning.”
Luo Shuangxing reached out and took the phone from Luo Shuangyue’s hand, then firmly pushed her back into bed, covering her with a blanket.
Afterward, she frowned and said,
“Right now, with both you and Sister being sick, it’s up to me to take charge!”
Her brother, who refused to rest properly, needed to follow her orders for his own good.
In the tent across from them, Xiao Mo gave a soft, suppressed moan.
Luo Shuangxing quickly made a “shh” gesture to Luo Shuangyue.
“Hush, don’t wake Sister Xiao up.”
Today, Xiao Mo fell asleep early and deeply, as if she had exhausted all her energy somewhere.
Luo Shuangxing thought that it was the exhaustion from the day’s sheltering that had drained Xiao Mo’s already weak body, and she didn’t think further than that.
As for Luo Shuangyue, she knew exactly what was going on, but she didn’t dare to speak about it.
She made an “OK” gesture toward her younger sister and obediently closed her eyes.
Although her sister was usually quite offbeat, she could still be relied on when it mattered.
After closing her eyes, a deep sleepiness quickly overwhelmed Luo Shuangyue.
Her condition today was no better than Xiao Mo’s. While Xiao Mo had been drained of her energy by the extreme bond magic cannon, Luo Shuangyue, who had struggled to escape under the light cannon, was no better off.
In fact, she was even worse off. While Xiao Mo managed to win and could sleep soundly, Luo Shuangyue was still being pursued by the light cannon in her dreams.
That night, Luo Shuangyue had a restless and tormenting sleep.
The next morning, when she was awakened by her sister’s shaking, Luo Shuangyue realized that her underwear had become completely soaked with the cold sweat she had sweated during the night.
Luo Shuangxing, who had a fried dough stick in her mouth, reached out and poked Luo Shuangyue’s chest, making a puzzled sound.
“Brother, did you have a nightmare?”
Luo Shuangyue swatted her sister’s hand away and grumbled, “I was being chased by monsters in my dream, and there was no magical girl to save me. How is that not scary?”
Having just experienced a monster attack yesterday, Luo Shuangyue’s excuse seemed perfectly reasonable. Luo Shuangxing and Xiao Mo had no suspicion at all.
“If it was Shuangyue being chased by monsters, I believe the magical girl would have shown up in time to save her.”
Xiao Mo gave Luo Shuangyue a sweet smile that seemed to radiate 100% sweetness.
Luo Shuangyue instinctively looked away.
She wasn’t an idiot, and of course, she could tell what Xiao Mo was implying.
But she would rather that no magical girl had shown up at that time.
“That’s right, the magical girl would never let a citizen be chased by evil monsters!”
Luo Shuangxing confidently waved her little fist.
What does this brat have to do with anything?
Luo Shuangyue rolled her eyes.
Xiao Mo was at least a magical girl, so she had a say in this matter, but what did you know about it?
Seeing the doubtful yet somewhat disdainful expression on her brother’s face, Luo Shuangxing felt like she was being underestimated.
“Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”
She puffed out her cheeks and stared at her brother like a white hamster, her face written with a clear expression of “If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I’ll bite you to death today.”
“Fine, I didn’t say it was wrong. My little star is always right~”
“Xiao Mo, look at him! He doesn’t even believe in the magical girl. A man like this is absolutely not suitable for entrusting with one’s life!”
Luo Shuangxing looked at Xiao Mo with an exaggerated sense of grievance, deciding to shift her strategy.
“You’re really going too far, little sis!”
