RBCT Chapter 94 Reunion with an Old Friend
Chapter 94 Reunion with an Old Friend
Let's go back to the present.
Wearing a white coat and accompanied by Qingluan, the emerald scepter entered the reception room.
"Hey, Azure, you're here."
The emerald scepter greeted first, then walked towards the azure scepter.
As for Arc Moon, her gaze was completely drawn to the blue-haired girl behind her—
"Huh? Qingluan?!"
When Qingluan saw the crescent moon, she also showed a very "surprised" expression.
"Miss Crescent Moon?!"
However, before the crescent moon could even figure out what was happening, the emerald scepter was already getting closer and closer.
As the Supreme Scepter drew ever closer, Arc Moon instinctively stood up from the sofa, bowed slightly in greeting—
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the Emerald Scepter."
"Hmm? You must be Arc Moon? I've heard Azure Phoenix mention you before. You're quite a nice kid." The emerald scepter stopped, half-smiling, and looked at the other person with great interest.
"Huh?"
Completely at a loss for words, Arc Moon seemed lost in confusion. She looked up at Azure Phoenix, then turned to the Emerald Scepter: "Lord Emerald Scepter... hello. Um... why is Azure Phoenix... by your side?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the emerald scepter smiled and took a few steps back, then reached out and pulled the blue phoenix beside her into its embrace.
"She's my daughter!"
"!!!"
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck the crescent moon, causing its pupils to tremble.
Although Qingluan looked disgusted, she still nodded silently, tacitly agreeing with the emerald scepter's explanation.
What's going on?!
My junior, the magical girl Suwei, is the daughter of the Azure Scepter...
My obedient maid sister, Qingluan, is the daughter of the Emerald Scepter?!
Are you two kidding me?! Did you set me up?!
The situation with Liu Xiali is actually not too bad... after all, the Azure Scepter is already planning to bribe him with flower cards. As long as he can protect Liu Xiali's safety in the future, the Azure Scepter probably won't really pursue the matter of turning her daughter into a magical girl.
But Qingluan's matter is life or death!
If the Emerald Scepter found out that her precious daughter was working as my maid, wouldn't she banish me?!
Arc Moon quickly recalled every moment she had spent with Azure Phoenix over the past month.
No matter what... Su Chenjin is in my own home... I've taken good care of her, haven't I? Even though she's a maid, I haven't mistreated her; I treat her like a younger sister!
That's right! I eat and sleep with Qingluan... we're incredibly close! So even if the Emerald Scepter is angry... it shouldn't... make things difficult for me in a place like this, right?
Cold sweat was already beading on Arc Moon's forehead. She looked up nervously and asked, "Uh... um, Lady Emerald Scepter... uh... um..."
"I've heard about it!"
The emerald scepter chuckled as it released the blue phoenix from its embrace, walked up to the crescent moon, patted her shoulder, and then revealed a deeply sorrowful expression:
"Actually, this child... was separated from me due to some changes. For some reasons... I haven't been able to find her."
"All I knew was that my daughter had always lived in the material world. I tried to find her, but to no avail. I never imagined that Qingluan had actually been kidnapped by the people of the Star Realm! ...As her mother, I had absolutely no idea. I'm such a terrible mother... Waaah—"
After the sorrowful "weeping," the emerald scepter swiftly changed its tune, instantly adopting a completely different attitude—
"But Qingluan told me everything! You rescued her, adopted her in the material world, and even brought her to the kingdom, allowing my daughter and me to reunite! I really have to thank you for this!"
Seeing the emerald scepter express its gratitude, the previously tense Arc Moon relaxed considerably.
Furthermore, the emerald scepter makes absolutely no mention of Qingluan serving as his maid...
That's right! Qingluan must have been worried that if she revealed her past as a maid, the Emerald Scepter would take her anger out on her, so Qingluan deliberately hid her experience as a maid from her mother!
Waaaaah, Qingluan... you're so kind! How can there be such a good maid like you...!
Just as the crescent moon was so moved she almost cried, the emerald scepter continued smiling as it walked up to the azure scepter: "Azure, I have some good news for you!"
"...I'm currently handling official business. So what brings you here that you even brought your daughter?" The Azure Scepter frowned slightly, seemingly quite unhappy.
That's only natural. Just as Arc Moon was about to agree to his conditions, he was suddenly interrupted; no one would be happy in that situation.
"Don't rush, it'll only take a few minutes. Besides, I think you'll definitely be interested in this, right?"
"...What is it?" Azure Scepter picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, and asked calmly.
The emerald scepter didn't say anything more, but instead took a few steps back and called out towards the half-open doorway—
"Come in!"
Hearing the sound of the emerald scepter, the door was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked into the reception room.
The azure scepter responded and looked towards it.
It was a magical girl dressed in a black sailor uniform, with cat ears as a hair accessory, and obvious dark circles under her eyes, as if she was sleep-deprived.
Her right sleeve was empty around her hand.
Normally, magical girls whose bodies are composed of magic can slowly recover from even the most severe injuries over time. However, the situation of this girl, missing a limb, can only mean one thing—
That means the true nature of things is injured.
If the body is injured, then the corresponding limb will naturally be lost as well.
As for injuries to the original form, there are currently no particularly effective medical treatments. Even with the research and medical expertise of the Emerald Scepter, they can only repair damaged parts of the original form. They are powerless to help with cases where the original form is completely missing.
Therefore, once the true form is injured, the decline in strength is irreversible. Whether in terms of magical girl combat power or appearance, it's equivalent to being "disabled".
As soon as the sailor-suited magical girl stepped into the room, her gaze swept across the room and immediately fell upon the crescent moon beside the sofa.
Arc Moon looked in the direction of the sound, and when she saw the person's appearance, she was stunned.
In the dead silence, the two of them just stared blankly at each other.
The next second, the incredulous exclamations of the two magical girls echoed in the reception room—
"Mu Hua?"
"team leader?"
The two magical girls looked at each other, ignoring the two Supreme Scepters present, and quickly ran towards each other.
