Chapter 53: Misunderstood My Sister, Meow?

Muxingge stubbornly reread today’s updated chapter two or three times with great care… It couldn’t be wrong.

Although the edits were extensive, this plot was definitely adapted from her past encounters with the Blood Moon Witch!

Muxingge still remembered how she had carelessly fallen into a very crude trap set by the Divine Summon Order and was almost captured by the Blood Moon Witch herself.

Luckily, she had been fortunate enough to seize the chance and escape alone.

But because this incident was so humiliating, after escaping, Muxingge never mentioned it to anyone—not even to A Xing or Miss L!

So logically, only two people would know about it: herself and the Blood Moon Witch. But that also means…

This School Romance Novel was written by the Blood Moon Witch? That’s impossible!

Muxingge did know about the Blood Moon Witch’s prison break, but there was no way she’d have nothing better to do after escaping than write a rival’s School Romance Novel for fun, right?

Moreover, this novel included a lot of content at the beginning that no one but her former teammates knew. How could the Blood Moon Witch have written that?

Or… was it really just a coincidence? Maybe the author’s storyline just happened to coincide with her own experience, and the author was actually someone she didn’t know?

Muxingge knew this guess was absurd, but if it wasn’t the case, the other possibility would be even more absurd.

There was no way this School Romance Novel was co-written by A Xing and the Blood Moon Witch!

Compared to the first guess, Muxingge felt the latter was even less likely.

She knew the relationship between A Xing and the Blood Moon Witch very well— there was no way those two would sit together and write her School Romance Novel!

Two of them passionately discussing a familiar person’s School Romance Novel plot, with sparks of intellectual debate flashing above their heads… Muxingge could only say she couldn’t even imagine that scene. It was eerie, you know?

She glanced at Xiaoxi’s personal profile on the table again. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and tore it up, tossing it into the trash bin.

Honestly, Muxingge wasn’t that bothered by the School Romance Novel issue itself.

The reason she wanted to find its author was because she had seriously suspected it was A Xing who wrote it.

But now, unless the novel was written by both A Xing and the Blood Moon Witch together, it could only be a coincidence.

If that was the case, there was no need to wrong an innocent person. After all, framing someone was never a good thing—so she decided to let it go.

At this moment, Xiaoxi was lying comfortably on the bed, happily scrolling on her phone, unaware that the plot Ye Xinglan helped her come up with today had unknowingly helped her avoid a crisis of identity exposure.

The next day, outside Miss L’s office.

Sirius was about to knock when she saw Xiaohongmao emerge from inside, looking dejected. The two exchanged a glance and passed by each other without a word.

“Hey, A Xing, you and your sister showed up to see me at the same time—was that planned?”

“What did that girl want to talk to you about?”

Miss L didn’t reply but turned to pour a cup of tea for Xiaoxi, keenly noticing that Xiaoxi seemed to be in a bad mood.

“Let’s talk about your matter first. Why did you come to see me?”

“I want you to fire Keke. She can’t continue being a Magic Girl.”

Xiaoxi got straight to the point, and Miss L’s hand paused in mid-pour, clearly not expecting such bluntness.

“I heard from other teams’ Magic Girls that during the last Theater operation, you and Xiaohongmao argued, A Xing.”

Miss L placed the tea in front of Xiaoxi. “What happened? I only heard she acted alone and got a minor injury, but she also accurately located the Magic Creature’s core, didn’t she? You wouldn’t be this angry just because she acted solo, right?”

“That’s not the issue. The injury she sustained is indeed not serious, but do you know where exactly she got hurt?”

Xiaoxi’s voice trembled with lingering fear as she drew a horizontal line across her collarbone.

“Do you know? If that wound had been just a little higher…”

Miss L shook her head. “But A Xing, I’m sorry. I can’t just fire someone without reason.”

“That’s unfair to your sister too. She became a Magic Girl through rigorous selection and testing. You should be able to guess how much effort she put into it.”

Miss L understood Xiaoxi’s feelings perfectly. No one wanted their loved ones living every day in danger—not even Xiaoxi.

That was why many Magic Girls were reluctant to tell their families the truth—including Xiaohongmao.

As an outsider, Miss L might see that neither sister was wrong, but conflicts were inevitably bound to arise.

“Your sister has actually improved quite fast, A Xing. She just had bad luck, running into Magic Creatures far beyond her ability. If the Theater’s creatures hadn’t suddenly upgraded to B-rank, she probably could have handled it.”

Xiaoxi said nothing, only staring at Miss L. The truth was, no one could guarantee the opponent would always be an equal match. Being a Magic Girl was a dangerous profession.

Not being a Magic Girl was the most thorough and effective way to avoid such danger.

Miss L suddenly changed the subject. “Your sister just came to see me to ask if I had any way to contact the Eternal Star.”

“You know, A Xing— after you retired, quite a few people asked me that question. No one expected you to disappear without even informing your teammates.”

Xiaoxi frowned. “Using official connections for personal reasons isn’t a good habit. You didn’t tell her, did you?”

Xiaoxi knew her sister was a huge fan of the Eternal Star. When they were home, Keke would buy a lot of Eternal Star merchandise.

But she hadn’t expected the girl would come straight to ask for the Eternal Star’s contact information. The Magic Girl identity shouldn’t be a tool for her to conveniently chase idols.

Thinking this, Xiaoxi’s desire to stop her sister from continuing as a Magic Girl only deepened.

“Your sister’s not chasing idols. She just wants to learn training methods to get stronger from the Eternal Star. She feels guilty for always holding you back during operations.”

“Do you know your sister is actually very hardworking? I’ve seen her attendance records. She spends long hours every day in the Association’s gym and Training Room, sometimes not coming out until late at night.”

“A Xing, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions about her. If she knew her idol actually thought this way about her, she’d be very upset.” Miss L sighed.

Xiaoxi was stunned. She hadn’t thought about it that way—she had instinctively assumed Keke only wanted the Eternal Star’s contact info because of shallow idol worship.

Suddenly, Xiaoxi remembered what Keke had said when she was hospitalized: “Big sis, you don’t understand me at all! I don’t like the Eternal Star just because she’s pretty like some superficial person!”

“Miss L—” After a moment of silence, Xiaoxi suddenly spoke, “Go tell Keke that you have a way to contact the Eternal Star.”
