Why!?
Why was the Young Lady able to transform without using a Transformation Device?
Su Mengdie couldn’t understand it.
But what confused her even more was that the ‘Magical Girl’ before her wasn’t any Magical Girl she knew…
Could it be a new form of the Young Lady?
After carefully observing the transformed Penelope, Su Mengdie vaguely felt she looked a bit like her old rival, ‘Canary’…
Penelope wasn’t stupid.
She worried that Swallowtail might have mentioned her appearance to Su Mengdie, so she had made a few small changes during her Transformation.
“Xiao Die, since you’ve seen my transformed appearance, remember to keep it a secret! Otherwise, I won’t let you off easily.”
Penelope’s tone was firm as she gathered a small orb of light between her fingertips.
Although the Magic Power wasn’t vast, it was more than enough to handle an ordinary person like Su Mengdie.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
It seemed that even though the Young Lady was a bit airheaded, she at least knew to keep her identity as a Magical Girl a secret from ordinary people.
In that case, she was much more at ease.
“Hurry along, Young Lady! Just remember, don’t use any magic! Otherwise, our excuse won’t hold up anymore!”
“Don’t worry. Xiao Die, you just stay here. I’ll be back in a bit.”
After Penelope turned and left the room, the glow concentrated at her fingertips triggered the Mark she had left behind once again.
Since she had already transformed, she might as well give that girl a taste of suffering to see when she would finally come looking for her!
***
At that same moment, Su Mengdie was just about to find something to do in the room when she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen.
Her legs gave way, and she slumped onto the floor.
This feeling…!
There was no doubt about it; that Mark was acting up again.
Her fair, pretty face was now flushed bright red.
Su Mengdie panted for breath, her gaze fixed on the door.
‘Thank goodness the Young Lady left the room first. If she had seen me like this, the consequences would be unthinkable.’
While Su Mengdie felt a sense of relief, her fingers unconsciously began to trace circles around the marshmallow.
She wasn’t some sex-crazed girl!
This was all that wretched Canary’s fault.
One day, she would definitely find out Canary’s true identity and let her taste the same agony!
***
After an unspeakable release, Su Mengdie cleaned up the traces with a whole pack of tissues and immediately pulled out her Mobile Phone to send a message to Mo Xiaoke.
‘Xiao Ke, do you know how to remove that Mark yet? It’s torturing me to death!’
Su Mengdie couldn’t take it anymore.
If that stupid Mark flared up every day, she was afraid she would die of dehydration before Canary could even kill her.
Perhaps because her movements just now had been a bit too intense, her body still felt somewhat sore.
‘I did find something, but I don’t think it will be of much help to you.’
‘If you’re still my good Friend, then tell me!’
‘Aside from it being a dead end, your only choice is to go beg Canary and see if she’ll be merciful enough to remove it for you.’
‘Me? Beg Canary?!’
Was Xiao Ke crazy, or was she the one losing it?
Canary was her mortal enemy.
Asking her to beg Canary was worse than praying for the Evil Organization to self-destruct from the inside.
‘Well, there’s nothing I can do. That’s all the information I found. Besides, Xiao Die… I actually think it’s not impossible for you to go beg Canary right now.’
Had Xiao Ke defected?
Looking at the message, Su Mengdie suddenly felt as if Mo Xiaoke had been bought off by the enemy, given how she kept urging her to beg their foe.
‘What do you mean by that?’
‘Haven’t a lot of our companions gone missing lately? The higher-ups thought the Evil Organization was behind it, so they caught a few of their people to interrogate. It turns out not only was it not them, but they’ve lost quite a few people as well.’
‘Are you saying I should go find Canary to cooperate?’
Now that Mo Xiaoke had said this, Su Mengdie immediately understood her meaning.
‘Smart. I love communicating with smart people like Xiao Die. I’ll leave the rest to you~’
‘Wait! I have one more question.’
‘Another one? My dear girl, hurry up. I’m about to go eat.’
‘Almost done, just this one! I want to ask, is it possible to transform into a Magical Girl without a Transformation Device?’
‘Huh? I thought you were going to ask something complicated. Isn’t that something even a newcomer who just joined knows? Without a Transformation Device, how can you transform into a Magical Girl? By praying?’
At the same time Mo Xiaoke sent the last message, her avatar immediately turned gray, as if fearing that if she stayed a second longer, Su Mengdie would hit her with another question.
“Humph! She sure ran off quickly…”
Su Mengdie had originally wanted to ask about the ‘body swap’ matter.
Now, it seemed she would have to find another opportunity later.

Downstairs, Jin Can’er was helping the Store Manager clear the dishes and chopsticks from the table, while Xia Shuashuai was playing around with Elaine near the sofa.
The moment Penelope appeared, both people on the sofa looked over.
Xia Shuashuai looked her up and down before asking in confusion, “Is that… the Young Lady?”
Because Su Mengdie had also gone upstairs just now, she wasn’t entirely sure of the identity of the person before her.
“Yes, I am Penelope. Elaine should be able to recognize me, right?”
Penelope admitted openly, then strolled over to Elaine and patted her head.
“*Mm-hmm!* She’s Mother!”
As if sensing a familiar aura, Elaine dove into her arms, hugging her and rubbing against her affectionately.
“Elaine, we’ll play with you for a while, and then you’ll go back with the person Mother called, okay?”
In the face of Elaine, Penelope was as gentle as she had been long ago.
“No! It’s too boring at home. Mother only knows how to sleep; she doesn’t play with me at all!”
Upon hearing that Penelope was going to send her back, Elaine immediately showed great resistance.
Her small, flailing hands accidentally yanked the ribbon off Penelope’s clothes.
*Eh!?*
Before Penelope could even react, the white-gold feathered garment slid smoothly down her snowy-white arms like dew off a lotus leaf.
“Elaine, behave!”
Penelope shouted sternly, covering her pale chest.
She felt this child was in dire need of some discipline!
If she still refused to listen, Penelope wouldn’t mind giving her a complete childhood.
“*Hmph!* Mother is mean!”
Elaine puffed out her cheeks in anger, turning to dive into Xia Shuashuai’s arms.
‘Heh heh, so soft and fragrant~’
Elaine smiled innocently, her thoughts completely transparent on her face.
“Be a good girl, Elaine. As long as you listen, we will come to play with you whenever we have time in the future, okay?”
Xia Shuashuai gently stroked Elaine’s head, helping Penelope try to persuade her.
“Hmm… okay then. In that case, can I call you Mother?”
“*Eh!?*”
Xia Shuashuai’s expression became awkward.
“You little brat, I think you’re really asking for a beating!”
It was one thing for Elaine to harass her, but she dared to harass her Friend too?
This time, Penelope truly couldn’t take it anymore.
She raised her hand, ready to give her a complete childhood.
At the moment her palm swung down, Elaine’s entire body suddenly emitted a pale purple light.
Although the dazzling light was so bright that Xia Shuashuai couldn’t open her eyes, it didn’t affect Penelope at all.
After seeing the change in Elaine, Penelope immediately understood what was happening — Elaine had awakened her Transformation!?
