Chapter 49 – Unexpected visitor
This awkward reaction made Hong Siyu even happier: "Just kidding, no need to be so nervous."
After speaking, she leaned back to increase the distance between them, to show her friendly attitude.
Seeing her behavior, Lin Xiaolu finally relaxed a bit, but still remained cautious. She did not sit next to Hong Siyu, but stood in place and asked, "So, why did Cui Que's contact person come to my house?"
"Not only Cui Que's contact person, but also the former Magical Girl."
Hong Siyu corrected with a shake of her finger, "There is a big difference!"
"In specific terms?" Lin Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, somewhat skeptical, "After retiring as a Magical Girl, you become an ordinary person, right?"
"On the level of magic power, that's true. Now I'm just a weak girl with a healthy physique."

Facing Lin Xiaolu's skepticism without wavering, and even without any reaction to the term "ordinary person," Hong Siyu confidently said, "But my understanding and knowledge of the magical side surpasses yours."
"Well, it's not more than Cui Que, right?" Lin Xiaolu said sarcastically.
"Cough... Don't say such things, it will make yourself less cute."
Momentarily choked by Lin Xiaolu's words, Hong Siyu awkwardly clasped her hands together. "Anyway, I happened to take a day off today, so I volunteered to come here and see how you guys are doing. I heard that you are now practicing with the Seeder?"
"Following it? It's just a lackey pretending to be powerful." Lin Xiaolu sneered.
-"I'm a fairy, even if I look like a cat, calling me a lackey is an insult!" Mo Ke protested seriously.
"I see you acting so proud these days, you're just one step away from barking like a dog!" Lin Xiaolu glared at it.
"What's wrong with barking like a dog? Some people can't even become a lackey." Mo Ke's whiskers twitched, and it opened its mouth to retort. It was in a triumphant mood these days, and it didn't care about Lin Xiaolu's insults. "With your progress, you will always be a junior, from an active junior to a retired junior. You will always have this kind of relationship!"
"What did you say!" Lin Xiaolu was instantly furious, about to retort, but suddenly glanced at Hong Siyu sitting beside her, and the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.
From an active junior to a retired junior, and then forever only having this level of interaction. If what Hong Siyu said was true, then she seemed to be a living example.
With such a "typical case" sitting in front of her, she didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, ordinary people without magic power cannot see fairies, and naturally cannot hear what fairies say. So Hong Siyu just raised her head, curious, and asked, "Is your Seeder here? Are you arguing?"
"Ah... um, nothing." Lin Xiaolu awkwardly brushed it off.
Not long after, Xia Liang, who went to the kitchen, came back with a few cups of tea. Seeing the two of them talking, she put down the tea cups and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Just chatting, just chatting."
Hong Siyu picked up her bag from her lap and put it aside, waving to Xia Liang. "I mean, I just wanted to come and see how you guys are doing. After all, I heard from Cui Que that you are planning to participate in next year's certification test?"
"Yes, any advice?"
Xia Liang understood Hong Siyu's meaning and obediently sat down beside her. "And how do you prove your identity as a retired Magical Girl?"
"Of course, it's with this!"
Reaching into her bag, Hong Siyu searched for a while and pulled out something, extending it in front of the two.
And what she held in her hand was a purple-red card with the number "41422" written in the center, surrounded by many small and unclear magic symbols. Above the number, there was also a name engraved with symbols, but neither Lin Xiaolu nor Xia Liang could understand it.
They had seen Cui Que's certification card before, and compared to the one Hong Siyu took out, besides not having some complex and gorgeous decorations, there was one major difference: its surface was dull and lifeless, grayish, unlike Cui Que's card that seemed to have flowing magic power, looking radiant.
"This is the certification card I had when I was a Magical Girl. It's at least a card, although it was canceled after I retired and now it's just a decoration."
Hong Siyu casually stuffed the card into Xia Liang's hand. "Take a look, take a look!"
So the two girls leaned forward and carefully examined it.
This was the first time they had observed the appearance of a certification card up close since becoming Magical Girls. Although Cui Que had shown it to them before, she never wanted to display it too much.
Xia Liang poked the card in her hand with her index finger and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, they say that the certification card is a symbol of evaluating the strength of Magical Girls. How is it different from the Open Hua level?"
"Can you become a Flower Card if your ability reaches the Flower level?" Lin Xiaolu added.
-"Of course!"
"In fact, it's not like that."
As soon as she finished speaking, two voices sounded at the same time, but the answers were completely different.
The one who suddenly interrupted with "of course" was Mo Ke, while Hong Siyu's answer was negative.
Mo Ke immediately covered its mouth as if it had caused trouble, while Hong Siyu, as an ordinary person, had no reason to hear Mo Ke's voice, so she continued, "In simpler terms, Flower Cards are the elite fighters among the Flower level, as well as a few Magical Girls who have made significant contributions but have not reached the Flower level."
"The evaluation of Flower Cards is subjective, based on the king's recognition of a Magical Girl, so there can be very strong Magical Girls who are only Word Cards. This is called the corruption of adults."
Taking back the certification card returned by Xia Liang, Hong Siyu continued to talk enthusiastically, and casually placed it aside. "But overall, you can consider Flower Cards as the most successful group of Magical Girls, they can be called 'big shots'."
"Huh? So you mean..."Lin Xiaolu glanced at Xia Liang belatedly, noticing no surprise on her face, she could only exclaim herself, "Cui Que is actually a big shot?"
"Haha, you just realized it now?" Xia Liang laughed somewhat helplessly.
"Cui Que should have told you that she is an 'Inspector', right? That's her official position as a big shot. In fact, most of the Flower Card Magical Girls hold nominal positions in the Five Courts."
Speaking of these matters, Hong Siyu was as knowledgeable as a family treasure: "The five major power institutions under the royal court, the Investigation Court, the Finance Court, the Research Court, the Civil Administration Court, and the Magic Affairs Court, the entire operation of the Magical Kingdom is under this system."
