: Sisters with 100% Genetic Similarity

The doctor's final diagnosis was "no need for hospitalization".

Although it differed significantly from Jin Yu's original expectations, it's still a good thing overall.

Originally, I wanted to take Muming directly to lunch, but Qingxia said she had something to explain to her "about Wu'an's identity".

We have no choice but to send Mu Ming back first.

Jin Yu hoped that Qing Xia could say something meaningful.

dong dong dong-

A light knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened a crack, and a lively figure in green slipped in.

Qingxia smiled, her head held high, like a matador about to enter the arena.

She puffed out her chest, which was barely large enough to be grasped, and approached with a pretentious air, mimicking the marching steps of soldiers from the old days, finally stopping in front of Jin Yu's table.

"Sir! I have something to report to you."

"You idiot..." Jin Yu replied, both amused and annoyed, placing a hand on her cheek and adopting a scrutinizing posture. "Didn't you just say you had no news? How come you suddenly have important information?"

Qingxia hummed twice, her smile widening. "I already know Wu'an's interpersonal relationships. With a little deduction, it's easy to find her true identity. Let me tell you in detail."

The smugness was overwhelming, but Jin Yu was actually curious to hear her "profound insights." If Qing Xia was just amusing herself, then she would have to show her what she was capable of later.

"After Wu An transforms, he has black hair and purple eyes, right?"

"Yes, but many magical girls look very different before and after their transformation."

The innocent became alluring, the arrogant transformed into reserved... There are countless girls whose transformations are truly astonishing.

After all, the Seed of the Heart is related to a girl's wish, and in a sense, the transformed appearance is a manifestation of the girl's heart.

"That's right, but Miss Wu'an's appearance is quite unique." Qingxia stretched out her finger and twirled it in front of her blue eyes.

Eye...

This is indeed a point that cannot be ignored. Although purple pupils are not that special, it is very abnormal for them to appear on a magical girl.

Someone from the General Administration also mentioned this issue. The senior figure from the General Administration said that purple is a color rejected by the Seed of the Heart.

Of course, this was just an excuse to protect the magical girls who were not of high enough rank.

For high-ranking magical girls, this is not a problem, since they have all seen witches before.

Therefore, Jin Yu directly attacked Wu An at that time. When she noticed that the other party's magic power was only at the second level, she was shocked.

I thought a new kind of witch had appeared, but it turns out I was just making a fuss over nothing.

Of course, the existence of witches cannot answer the question of "why magical girls don't have purple eyes".

"Is it possible that Miss Wu'an had purple eyes before she transformed?" Qingxia asked.

Jin Yu thinks it's very likely. The General Administration has actually conducted an investigation into the issue of pupil color and found that there is no case of a girl with purple eyes being able to transform into a magical girl.

No matter how you look at it, this color is wrong.

At the time, they had to clean up the mess left behind by Huanzi, and they also offended Wu'an, so they let her go.

Looking back now, it was actually a bit rash.

However, Jin Yu didn't think letting her go was a bad thing. After all, she was a kind-hearted person who went out every night to fight the monsters.

She didn't believe that such a person would harbor malicious intentions.

"So what does this have to do with her interpersonal relationships?" Jin Yu asked.

After all, she couldn't possibly screen every single purple-eyed girl in Changming City.

"Hehe~ Now that we've assumed the appearance, the answer to the question is both far away and right in front of us."

"You are Wu An..."

"How could that be?! I'm talking about the boy you brought. He looks so much like Miss Wu'an. Didn't you notice? Besides his appearance, what's more important is his eyes. The way his eyes look in profile is practically identical."

Qingxia excitedly pulled out a photo from the file, which showed Wu An's profile.

She stared at Jin Yu excitedly, but noticed that the other person's expression darkened.

"W-what's wrong?"

"You mean, Miss Wu'an is actually a boy~"

Jin Yu asked the question with a smile, but a noticeable blue vein bulged on his forehead.

"No way. I mean, brother. The guy you brought is most likely Miss Wu'an's brother; otherwise, there's no reason for them to look so alike."

"Look closely," Qingxia said, pointing to the photo. "Their physical features are very similar, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful magical girl. The boy looks handsome too. If they weren't born of the same mother, I would eat this photo."

According to her logic, any handsome man and beautiful woman must be related by blood.

Seeing Jin Yu's increasingly warm smile, Qing Xia became more and more confident in her words.

As a "detective", Qingxia is an intuitive person. She only needs to rely on her intuition to solve cases. She doesn't need to do things like staking out and catching people.

"Really? If they weren't born to the same mother, would you eat the photo?" Jin Yu asked.

"Hmph! A promise is a promise."

In the past, when Qingxia was sent to investigate something, the more certain she became of the truth, the more sensitive her intuition became, which could be considered a talent.

This trembling feeling I'm feeling now—there's no doubt that Wu'an and that boy are definitely related by blood! And very closely at that.

"If we just investigate his past, we'll definitely find out everything!"

"Why don't you go to a restaurant and figure out what kind of sauce would look best with a photo?"

Jin Yu coldly swept her gaze over and flipped the photo frame on the table. It was a group photo, with Jin Yu in the center. She looked much younger in the photo than she does now.

In the corner of the photo stands a boy who seems uninterested, looking out of place with his surroundings.

Although their appearances are quite different, it's still possible to barely recognize that it's Mu Ming.

"Sir...you didn't repeat a year, did you? Your classmates look much younger than you."

"Fool!"

Jin Yu rolled the booklet in her hand into a stick shape and gently tapped Qing Xia's head.

"Didn't you see this huge 'welfare home' here...?"

"Oh, this boy is an orphan from your orphanage. Wouldn't that make the investigation easier? What are his sisters' names?"

"..."

Seeing that Qingxia was already deeply engrossed in her own speculations, Jin Yu decided not to press the matter further and directly stated:

"He has no siblings and has been alone since childhood."

"Maybe they got separated?" Qingxia was still unwilling to give up.

"Impossible. He fled to Changming City when he was four years old. According to the director's memory, he was the only person."

Jin Yu's confident statement completely refuted Qing Xia's deduction.

Ultimately, speculation based on speculation is not trustworthy.

To presume Wu An's true nature and to arbitrarily associate her with Mu Ming is like shooting the arrow first and then finding the target wrong.

She said it with such certainty.

Even though Qingxia always guessed the truth in the past, it's absolutely impossible this time.

"I see... I wonder if the boy could be a magical girl," Aoka muttered hesitantly.

Compared to common sense, Aoka wanted to trust her intuition more, because the feeling of almost touching the truth was too strong, as if denying it would deny her existence as a magical girl.

After all, her talent as a magical girl is related to intuition.

Although Aoka herself felt that this intuition was a bit too counterintuitive...

Then she saw the boss raise his hand, his dark face no longer showing its usual gentleness.

Jin Yu placed a hand on Qing Xia's forehead, without using his own magic power, but instead drew upon the magic power within Qing Xia.

Qingxia felt a blur before her eyes, and when she regained consciousness, she was lying outside the office, unharmed except for a dark photograph pasted on her forehead.

There are also words outlined with a marker on it:

"No seasoning is allowed when eating."
