"Noticed?"
Hong Siyu raised an eyebrow, but then showed a sowhat hesitant expression: "Well, I can't just say it casually. If Cui Que doesn't agree, I shouldn't tell you without her permission."
"Can't you say it?"
Xia Liang beca even more curious: "Why do we have to get the approval of the senior?"
"Senior...hahaha!"
Upon hearing Xia Liang's address, Hong Siyu burst into laughter: "This nickna is interesting. You actually called her senior?"
In response, Xia Liang just tilted her head in confusion, obviously not understanding what was funny.
But perceptive as she was, she imdiately realized that this was a good opportunity. She leaned forward and put on a sowhat pitiful expression: "Senior is so gentle, she definitely won't bla you. Sister, just tell us."
"Being cute is against the rules!"
Finding it difficult to resist Xia Liang's attack, Hong Siyu almost spoke up on the spot, but she still didn't easily give in: "I can say it! But you have to admit that what I know is sowhat useful, right? Cui Que won't tell you these things, she's afraid you'll aim too high."
The target of this statent was obviously Lin Xiaolu, who was still concerned about the previous conversation where she was compared unfavorably to Cui Que.
"Um..."
Curiosity was piqued and she was called out by na, so Lin Xiaolu had to put aside her worries and face a new decision.
"Alright, let's say what you said is useful."
After a mont, she could only pout and say, "So I admit it, can you tell us now?"
"Hmph! Since you all are requesting like this, I'll reluctantly give you so information."
Finally obtaining Lin Xiaolu's admission, Hong Siyu smiled satisfactorily and said, "Let ask you a question first, have you paid attention to your code nas?"
"Code nas? Mine is Bai i." Lin Xiaolu didn't understand what she was getting at and could only answer sowhat confusedly.
"The little sister here..." Hong Siyu looked at Xia Liang.
"I'm Xia Liang."
"Okay, Xia Liang, what's your code na?"
"My code na is Xiao Jin, it should refer to the Xiaojin flower, or the Mimosa flower, right?" Xia Liang pointed to her chin and answered.
"Now I can tell you, my forr code na was Chao Yan, and as you know, Cui Que's code na, have you noticed the commonality?" Hong Siyu winked at them.
"They are all flowers?"
"They are all flowers."
The two magical girls, one after the other, gave the sa answer.
"Yes, that's right. The code nas of magical girls are actually all nad after flowers."
Hong Siyu proudly raised her chin, as if this conclusion ca from her own personal summary: "At the mont you beco a magical girl, the code na will appear in your heart along with the awakening of the Seed of the Heart. It is also proof of obtaining power. You can imagine that your wish has promoted the Seed of the Heart to beco a flower."
"But just by saying this, you should also be able to guess that there are exceptions, magical girls whose code nas are not nad after flowers."
"Do they not have code nas for their Seeds of the Heart?" Lin Xiaolu asked with so doubt.
"No, it's not for that reason."
Hong Siyu shook her head: "But in order to explain clearly, I have to tell another story here."
"Can't you just say it directly?" Lin Xiaolu was a bit dissatisfied with her mysterious behavior.
"No, I must tell the story first." Hong Siyu insisted.
"It's too complicated!"
"Alright, Xiaolu, we've already co this far."
Xia Liang acted as a diator in the middle and persuaded Lin Xiaolu: "Besides, it's almost lunchti, so just listen, okay?"
"...Then try to keep it short." Lin Xiaolu was actually a bit more receptive to gentle persuasion. With Xia Liang's kind words, she reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Hong Siyu responded sowhat perfunctorily, then adjusted her state and tone, and spoke in a voice that was like reciting:
"The reason why the Magic Kingdom is called a kingdom is because it is a country, yes, it is a 'country' as described in history books."
"A country naturally has its leader, and in the Magic Kingdom, the queen in the Rose Palace rules over everything."
"The queen has a very exquisite and magnificent gemstone scepter, with five extrely luxurious gemstones embedded at the top, all of which are her favorite jewels."
"One day, the queen gave each of her most admired and trusted magical girls one of the gemstones from the scepter, and bestowed upon them her power and authority."
"The so-called power is actually the power of the Five Great Institutes, which she gave to those magical girls along with the gemstones; and authority ans a more transcendent power within the kingdom."
"At the sa ti, the magical girls who were given the gemstones no longer had code nas based on flowers, but instead had nas given by the queen, the nas of those gemstones."
"Therefore, these magical girls are also called 'Gemstone Scepters' in the kingdom, representing the pinnacle of power and authority among magical girls."
"The Investigation Institute we ntioned belongs to one of the Gemstone Scepters, corresponding to the magical girl with the golden-green gemstone on the scepter—her code na is Golden Green Cat's Eye."
"Using the queen's gemstones as code nas..."
Lin Xiaolu's eyes lit up: "It sounds so magnificent!"
Even Xia Liang nodded her head with a look of longing.
"Right?"Hong Siyu shrugged her shoulders, speaking with a hint of nostalgia, "Every Magical Girl has the sa reaction when they first hear the story, even I was no exception."
"Only your senior, Cui Que, had no reaction when she heard the story, her face was as if it was frozen."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolu, who was initially excited about the "gemstone codenas", imdiately paused, then straightened up, trying to maintain a calm deanor.
"So, the 'Golden Green Cat's Eye' is the one in charge of the investigation bureau, in other words, the head of your Bureau of Special Tactics?" Xia Liang asked again, having understood the content of Hong Siyu's explanation.
"You, child! Always asking about the things you shouldn't, why do you always ask these kinds of questions?"
Hong Siyu couldn't help but sigh, "But if you insist on knowing, indeed, the Golden Green Cat's Eye could be considered our superior."
"What about the Magic Affairs Bureau?" Xia Liang continued to inquire.
"The Magic Affairs Bureau... its power has not been decentralized, it's still in the hands of the queen, that is, the royal court."
Hong Siyu stroked her chin, her thoughts sparked, "Speaking of which, the queen could also be considered our direct superior?"
"Ah, starting to flatter yourself now." Lin Xiaolu, who was still trying to act cool, said in a low voice.
"You too, I told you not to say things that make you less cute, didn't I?" Hong Siyu was slightly annoyed.
After the topic of the gemstone scepter was brought up, they chatted about the current situation of the Magical Kingdom for a while. When the ti ca to twelve noon, Hong Siyu stood up and stretched.
"Hmm—What are you planning to eat for lunch? Takeout?"
"There are leftovers from the housekeeper's cooking yesterday in the fridge." Xia Liang answered honestly, leaning on the sofa.
"Leftovers?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Siyu waved her hand, "No need for that! Since I'm here, let show you my cooking skills! What else is in the fridge?"
"Well... If you want to eat fresh food, I can actually cook a bit."
Xia Liang sat up straight, smiling as she suggested, "It's not exactly delicious, but it should be edible."
"It's not right to let a child cook for herself, let show you the results of a single woman's culinary training!" Hong Siyu declared boldly.
"You're already middle-aged, aren't you?" Lin Xiaolu rcilessly comnted from the side.
"You child, if you say that again, your sister is going to cry!"
"I get it, I'll speak nicely, just don't co over here!"
After another round of chaos, Hong Siyu ended up tying an apron around her waist and heading into the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge for various vegetables and frozen at.
Behind her, Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu watched her bustling about. Despite her seemingly skilled movents, they couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
"It should be fine, right?" Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Haha, she said so herself, let's trust her, okay?"
Xia Liang gave her a comforting smile, then turned her gaze towards the kitchen. But as she watched Hong Siyu's increasingly strange seasoning combinations, her smile gradually froze:
"It should... right?"
