Escape

Zhou Xiaoming had come to understand the cruel truth about Magical Girls.

But amid that cruelty, something strange had happened to someone.

What was it?

After having intimate contact for many days with a powerful Magical Girl, he showed no signs of dying. It was truly baffling.

That was right.

That person was Zhou Xiaoming.

He had been captured by the Magical Girl Crimson Red for half a month. The two had almost daily zero-distance contact, yet despite the influence of the Calamity Field emanating from Crimson Red, he had not been affected in the slightest.

He was still lively and well, completely unharmed.

After the Magical Girl Maine learned of this strange phenomenon, her gaze lingered on Zhou Xiaoming for a long while. Her eyes flickered slightly, as though she were thinking about something, making Zhou Xiaoming's skin crawl.

At the same time, Zhou Xiaoming finally understood why Crimson Red, who had once been so fierce and vicious, had become increasingly gentle lately and treated him better and better. He had thought she had become too immersed in her role.

Now, it seemed that his appearance had brought a sliver of hope to this girl whose heart had once been entirely encased in ice.

That night, after a passionate encounter, Crimson Red hugged him tightly and frankly spoke from her heart:

"Xiaoming, let's get married. I won't do anything to hurt you anymore. Stay by my side forever, okay?" Crimson Red said in the innocent tone unique to a young girl.

Married?

Together forever?

Zhou Xiaoming froze. Had those words really come out of Crimson Red's mouth?

However, he kept a clear head. He coughed and said, "Uh, Scythe Sister, you promised me that if I satisfied you, you'd let me go back. You have to keep your word."
