“Lady Yuexia and Seraph are mainly suffering from overexertion. They will recover after one or two days of rest.”
The Medical Team provided the diagnosis.
At Luo Tianyou’s request, they prepared to take Yuexia Liuli and Evelyn away for treatment.
Luo Tianyou followed beside them, nagging as they walked.
“Lie down and don’t move. Let the doctor examine you… Evelyn, stop waving your hands around, and be careful not to hit the needle… Liuli, close your eyes and rest, stop glaring at people.”
Yuexia Liuli closed her eyes after being lectured, while Evelyn obediently tucked her hands back under the blanket.
Only her golden-red eyes remained visible as she looked at Luo Tianyou expectantly.
“Wife, will you come visit me?”
“Only if you cooperate with the treatment.”
“I promise!”
Evelyn immediately raised her hand, but ended up pulling the IV tube, causing her to grimace in pain.
The medical vehicle slowly drove away from the ruins of the training grounds.
Luo Tianyou stood in place, and Sister Xiao Yuan walked up to her side with a gentle smile on her face.
“Hard work, little Tianyou.”
“It was nothing…”
Xiao Yuan pursed her lips and smiled.
“The way you acted just now… you really are suited to be the head of a household.”
“The head of a household?”
“You know, the kind of strict wife who can keep all the girls perfectly in line~”
Luo Tianyou pouted in protest.
“Sister Xiao Yuan, what are you talking about? I don’t want to be a strict wife.”
“Right, right, I didn’t mean anything by it~” Xiao Yuan looked at Luo Tianyou with a beaming smile.
Feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, Luo Tianyou quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, Sister Xiao Yuan, have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet.”
Xiao Yuan looked at the sky.
“I originally planned to just grab a quick bite after handling things here.”
“Then let’s go. Let’s head home and eat together.”
“Can little Tianyou cook?”
“A little, and Huayu has already finished cooking at home,” Luo Tianyou explained.
The smile on Xiao Yuan’s face deepened.
“I see. So there is already a warm girl waiting at home.”
“…Sister Xiao Yuan!”
Luo Tianyou caught the implication in her words, and her cheeks flushed red.
“I really don’t have those kinds of thoughts right now!”
“Yes, yes, I didn’t say anything either.”
Xiao Yuan laughed happily and took Luo Tianyou’s wrist, tucking it under her arm.
“Let’s go, let’s eat at your place. I happened to be looking for you anyway, so we can handle some business while we’re at it.”
“What business?”
“About your physical examination. I saw the summary report, and I’m interested in some of the data.”
The smile on Xiao Yuan’s face faded slightly, and her other hand pressed gently against Luo Tianyou’s lower abdomen.
“Little Tianyou, let me take a look once we get home tonight.”
“Huh?”
Luo Tianyou was led into the car by Xiao Yuan in a daze, her mind a complete mess.
‘Sister Xiao Yuan wants to check my body? Did she discover something?…’
—
As the car drove back to the Aiya Community, Li Huayu was indeed still waiting.
Seeing Xiao Yuan arrive as well, Li Huayu stood up nervously.
“Lady… Lady Xiao Yuan…”
“You can just call me Sister Xiao Yuan. I heard from little Tianyou that you made sweet and sour pork ribs? May I try some?”
“Of course!”
Li Huayu hurried to the kitchen to reheat the food.
The atmosphere at dinner was more relaxed than Luo Tianyou had expected.
Xiao Yuan was very good at conversation and quickly put Li Huayu at ease.
She praised Li Huayu’s cooking skills and even shared an embarrassing story about how she blew up three pots when she first learned to cook.
“Really? Even Sister Xiao Yuan can blow up a kitchen?”
Luo Tianyou was surprised.
“Of course. No one is born knowing how to do everything. But back then, Flora was so happy. She said someone finally joined her in blowing up the kitchen.”
At the mention of her mother, Luo Tianyou’s eyes dimmed.
Xiao Yuan noticed her mood and gently patted her hand.
“If Flora could see you now, she would definitely be very proud.”
The meal lasted for nearly one hour.
After dinner, Li Huayu took the initiative to clear the table.
Luo Tianyou wanted to help, but Xiao Yuan stopped her.
“Little Huayu, I’ll leave the dishes to you,” Xiao Yuan said to Li Huayu.
“I have something to discuss with little Tianyou.”
Li Huayu nodded obediently and carried the dishes into the kitchen.
Xiao Yuan led Luo Tianyou into the master bedroom, closed the door, and casually set up a Soundproof Barrier.
“Sister Xiao Yuan…”
Luo Tianyou grew nervous.
“What do you need to check?”
“Little Tianyou, don’t be nervous. I’m just confirming a few things.”
Xiao Yuan walked in front of Luo Tianyou and placed both hands gently on her shoulders.
“Come, sit on the bed.”
Luo Tianyou sat down obediently, her hands resting on her knees.
“First, let me see the area mentioned in the physical report regarding stunted development. Is that okay?”
Luo Tianyou felt conflicted.
‘I don’t want to expose my secret to anyone, but if Sister Xiao Yuan has already said this much, what else can I do?’
She nodded sheepishly and then slowly stood back up, preparing to unfasten her skirt.
Xiao Yuan watched the scene with some surprise.
When Luo Tianyou took off her skirt and was about to take off her underwear, Xiao Yuan hurriedly pressed down on her hands.
“Little Tianyou, what are you doing?!”
“…Sister Xiao Yuan, didn’t you want to see?”
Luo Tianyou was confused for a moment.
“…Who starts by taking off their underwear? I only wanted to look at your chest. The report said there is almost no Magic flowing there.”
Xiao Yuan’s face turned rare shade of red, and she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Ah… Uh, oh…”
Luo Tianyou’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson.
She scrambled to put her skirt back on, her ears burning hot.
Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at her embarrassed state.
“I just wanted to confirm the Magic flow in your chest area, not give you a full body exam.”
“I thought you wanted to see that part, Sister Xiao Yuan…”
Xiao Yuan sat down beside her and gently stroked her hair.
“I want to help you check your condition as a friend and an older sister.”
Luo Tianyou looked up.
“Sister Xiao Yuan, did you find something?”
Xiao Yuan didn’t answer directly.
Instead, she pointed at her chest.
“Lift your top up a bit first and let me see.”
Luo Tianyou learned her lesson this time.
She only lifted the hem of her T-shirt, revealing her flat belly and the skin just below her chest.
Xiao Yuan reached out.
She didn’t touch her directly, but Luo Tianyou could feel a gentle current of Magic seeping into her skin like a warm stream.
“Relax, don’t resist my Magic,” Xiao Yuan whispered.
Luo Tianyou nodded and closed her eyes.
Xiao Yuan’s Magic was very warm.
She could feel that power lingering in her chest area for a long time, carefully probing something.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yuan withdrew her hand.
There was a hint of confusion deep in her eyes.
“Little Tianyou, can you feel the Magic flow in your chest yourself?”
Luo Tianyou opened her eyes and nodded.
“I can feel it, but it’s very faint.”
Xiao Yuan stood up and paced a few steps in the room, seemingly organizing her thoughts.
“Little Tianyou, you know that once a Magical Girl’s body awakens, Magic flows evenly throughout the entire body to promote development and reinforcement. This is especially true for those who need a Transformation to reach their Magical Girl form. Magic must be able to circulate through the whole body to transform.
But your situation is a severe mismatch. Generally speaking, it should be impossible for you to complete a Transformation. However, the ridiculously massive amount of Magic inside you compensates for it. Even if only a sliver of Magic flows through your chest, it’s enough to meet the requirement for Transformation.”
“The problem is why this is happening. It defies the common sense of Magical Girls.”
Xiao Yuan hesitated, then looked at Luo Tianyou.
“Little Tianyou, would you mind taking a bath with me so we can examine each other’s bodies? I can let you see mine first.”
Luo Tianyou’s head throbbed.
‘So, in the end, I still have to get naked and be looked at?’
‘Can I refuse?’
