"If you think that's a benefit," Erald Sparrow said ambiguously.
For the sake of eternal youth, those who choose to join the Kingdom and continue to be Magical Girls after their ten years of service are not few in number. Although their lifespan does not increase, the bodies and true forms of these Magical Girls stay young in appearance until the end of their natural lives.
This has always been the excuse used by Erald Sparrow to explain to her juniors why there is almost no difference in her appearance before and after transformation. Thankfully, this excuse holds up, as Asou Haruka, who recently moved to Fangting City, also used her appearance to corroborate Erald Sparrow's story, and nobody could poke holes in her identity through this excuse.
"Of course, it is a benefit."
Xia Liang, having no clue what Erald Sparrow was thinking at the mont, continued to fiddle with Erald Sparrow's hair: "It feels like if you carefully part the hair strands, you can see them twinkling like stars."
"Are you saying I have dandruff in my hair?" Erald Sparrow asked strangely since she knew that Magical Girls' bodies weren't supposed to have such tabolic products.
"What kind of mood-killer are you talking about? It's that kind of pale blue with so white specks, and it's really pretty and harmonious, certainly not dandruff."
Xia Liang replied sowhat helplessly, yet her hands didn't stop: "Ah, the more I look, the more envious I get."
"Is that so? Well, if you really want nice hair, I rember there's a beauty salon in the Erald District."
Erald Sparrow recalled after a mont: "They provide a lot of services that combine aesthetics with practicality, like engraving Favo Runes for enhancing Magic activity in nails; or hair dyes mixed with small doses of stimulants to aid Spiritual Thought, and so on."
"It sounds really interesting," Xia Liang's voice contained a touch of interest: "Shall we go try it out?"
"Sure, is Long Dan coming with us too?" Lin Xiaolu's voice ca from another direction into Erald Sparrow's ears.
"No, I won't go, I really have things to deal with tomorrow."
Erald Sparrow breathed out slowly: "You guys can stroll around Luennolay on your own, you can go up to the front desk and book a local guide, and they'll recomnd places worth visiting."
This was not an excuse, but the truth. Tomorrow, Erald Sparrow indeed had a prior engagent, and this appointnt was actually quite significant to her.
That was, she needed to visit the Research Institute to find Erald.
The thod to heal the Heart's Gem, as promised by Erald to her, was there.
Erald Sparrow had been preparing since last November, undergoing several pre-diagnosis and preliminary treatnts for her true form, all to ensure a smooth treatnt tomorrow.
She didn't want to wait any longer, for healing the Heart's Gem and repairing her true form ant regaining combat strength, and naturally, the sooner the better.
Erald seed to have her own demands, thus continuously persuading Erald Sparrow to visit the Research Institute as soon as possible; both had similar thoughts, and eventually, they set the date for tomorrow.
As for whether this eting would be a trap?
Erald Sparrow couldn't be one hundred percent certain it wasn't a trap; in fact, when she first t Erald, she felt it was absolutely a trap.

Just in the few months of collaboration, the assistance provided by Erald and the attitude displayed had shown a kind of eerie sincerity. Although the chief of the Research Institute often seed not so reliable, and there was always a bit of personal twisted humor mixed into the way things were done, at the sa ti, Erald would hardly ever hide or hoard information. Most of the inquiries made by Erald Sparrow could get answers, and it could be said that the transparency was excessive.
This kind of transparency was the biggest difference between Erald and Golden Green Cat's Eye and was also the reason why Erald Sparrow was very resistant to having too much involvent with Golden Green Cat's Eye, yet was willing to et Erald in the Kingdom.
Erald Sparrow pondered in this way, gradually sinking into her own thoughts, and did not mind the younger ones playing with her hair, even though the hands at the back of her head had turned from one pair to two.
The group soaked in the hot spring for a while longer, then left because a few of the juniors began to feel dizzy.
Erald Sparrow, with her hair dried and body wiped, left the scenic room wrapped in a bathrobe. Barefoot, she stepped on the wetland, and the feel of the grass under her feet along with the evening breeze that brushed her face made her squint her eyes, but then she beca alert again due to the sound of footsteps coming from ahead.
It was a group of unfamiliar female travelers, most of them looking quite young, and with stronger magical power fluctuations than ordinary people – undoubtedly, they were a group of Magical Girls.
In the Erald District, brushing past Magical Girls you don't recognize was very ordinary, so Erald Sparrow didn't think much of it. She just stepped aside, yielding the way to this group of unfamiliar travelers.
The opposite Magical Girls noticed Erald Sparrow's gesture, and they nodded in thanks, then passed by Erald Sparrow and headed straight towards the nearby Magic Hot Spring.
It was just an encounter with a group of strangers; that's what Erald Sparrow thought, and her gaze didn't linger on these Magical Girls. They had rely passed by, and that's why they appeared in her field of vision.
However, when the last Magical Girl in the crowd swept past Erald Sparrow, who had almost no focus in her eyes, Erald Sparrow suddenly felt an incredibly strong sense of familiarity.
This should be soone she had once known, or could even say was very familiar with.
Upon realizing this, Erald Sparrow instinctively turned her head, wanting to take another look at the figure to confirm their identity. What she saw, however, was not the backs of that group of Magical Girls but the faces of several juniors.
The juniors had also changed their clothes and were coming out of the changing room.
"Sorry for the wait, let's go back!" Lin Xiaolu waved at Erald Sparrow.
"Ah... I feel much more comfortable after soaking in the hot spring."
Xia Liang raised both hands behind her head and stretched, "With my body all relaxed, I better hurry back to sleep."
"My head is spinning…"
Bai Jingxuan, who had almost passed out in the hot spring, ca walking unsteadily, then very naturally ca next to Erald Sparrow and wrapped her arm around Erald Sparrow's. Probably because Erald Sparrow had a lower body temperature, it was cooler to embrace her, so Bai Jingxuan let out a very relaxed breath, "Hah…"
Forget it, let's take the kids back first. That's what Erald Sparrow thought.
Since it was soone she was familiar with, then she certainly hadn't forgotten their existence. She would first recall which acquaintances would be in Luennolay, and then contact them later.
Having made up her mind, Erald Sparrow took one more look in the direction of the hot spring before leaving, but by then, that group of Magical Girls had already entered the changing room, and their figures were no longer visible from the outside.
