Chapter 388

"Speaking of which, the fact that your idol contract wasn't for a very long period was also my decision."

Just like in real life, Ms. Tachibana passed her application to graduate from idol school.

However, since it was a dream, Sakaki Chika didn't know what it meant.

She found out very quickly.

Next, Tachibana concluded her questioning as a board member and approved Sakaki Chika's idol graduation application.

That concludes the scene.

As Tachibana burst another bubble of a dream, the brightly lit office was once again reduced to a void of darkness.

Time in the dream began to fast forward, until it arrived at something almost identical to the present, or even the future.

However, when the scene reappeared in the darkness, and the originally empty darkness gradually transformed into a familiar place for Sakaki Chika, behind a stage illuminated by lights, Sakaki Chika seemed to know where she was.

This is something that will actually happen tomorrow in reality.

Ms. Tachibana was dressed as Sakaki Chika's manager, while the faces of the other staff members around her were very blurry, making her stand out.

Let's continue with our previous topic.

Tomorrow, you will officially graduate.

"You haven't told anyone around you, not even your friends or teachers."

Listening to the noisy voices from outside the curtain and the familiar sounds of the speakers on the stage, Tachibana head slightly and looked at the sea of people on the stage hidden behind the curtain.

There are many people.

However, there aren't actually as many as in reality.

Because in this dream, Sakaki Chika didn't become such a famous idol, this slight discrepancy in the dream doesn't matter.

You must be very nervous.

"Or rather, you're very scared?"

Tachibana gently placed her hands on Sakaki Chika's shoulders, as if to help the young girl relax.

Sakaki Chika's pupils froze for a moment.

"It was just a dream, and no one else will ever know."

"Although this is your own decision, you must be very curious about what will happen to your life afterward, and whether this decision is good or bad?"

"Now, would you like to take a look, Chika?"

Her tone was gentle, and she wasn't pressuring Sakaki Chika.

If the child is truly afraid, then the dream might disappear, and she wouldn't need to subject Sakaki Chika to all of this in such an abusive manner.

However, as she said before, this was Sakaki Chika's own decision.

After hearing Tachibana's words, Sakaki Chika raised her head in a daze.

A hint of concern did indeed appear in her pupils.

And from the moment she takes this step, what follows is what Tachibana wants the girl to witness and experience firsthand.

Chapter 154: How to Retrieve Memories?

Let's go back to a period of time.

At the agreed-upon location, in a cool, inconspicuous corner of the park, Sha Qina at the fur collar of her new winter cadre uniform.

The cool air soon caused a layer of frost to form on the glass of the phone booths along the street in the park.

Since it was winter and the weather was very cold, these cadres no longer wore revealing clothing as before, but instead put on warmer clothes.

She looked around at the desolate surroundings.

The park is quite desolate on such a cold day.

As mentioned earlier, Sha Qina came to the park to find someone.

Because of the disappearance of the Black Death Cult executives, she wanted to talk to Ms. Haihara in person.

However, it has not been found yet.

"I haven't seen a soul..."

Did she go to the wrong place?

Sha Qina looked around.

Speaking of which, Sha Qina felt that Haihara -san, who had been talking to her online lately, was acting a bit strange.

Not only did he become more attentive in replying to my text messages, but he also inexplicably became gentler, giving off a very approachable vibe, and even took the initiative to ask me out.

They just occasionally ask some strange questions.

Could it be that after spending so much time together, Haihara- san's affection level has unknowingly increased significantly?

Let's not think about these inappropriate things for now.

After checking her phone and receiving a message saying "I've arrived," Sha Qina still couldn't find Haihara.

The only extra person in the vicinity was a little girl with braided pigtails.

She's quite cute, but she's not the one she's looking for.

Did she go to the wrong place?

Just then, she noticed that the seemingly unremarkable girl was slowly walking towards her, carrying a small Little White dog dressed in clothes, until she stood right in front of her.

Sha Qina looked confused.

How did this little girl manage to notice her despite the Magic that made her less noticeable?

It doesn't seem like her imagination.

Even when this pale-faced, aloof girl with outdated glasses walked up to Sha Qina still looked completely bewildered.

"Huh?"

This little girl looks more and more familiar.

Through her glasses, the girl stared at and observed Sha Qina with her snake-like pupils, maintaining a certain distance.

As for Sha Qina, after observing her closely, she realized she remembered the little girl.

That time, when I went to school with my colleague, the Malicious Apostle, I saw her. Because I thought she looked strangely like Haihara, I was impressed and stared at her for a while.

However, the current situation is clearly not quite right.

The other person was also holding a dog that looked strangely familiar.

Moreover, the way the other person examines you makes you feel very approachable.

Could it be that this situation, this feeling, is...?

After a moment of silence as they stared at each other, Sha Qina suddenly had a brilliant idea—

"Could it be that you are a relative of Miss Haihara?"

She asked tentatively.

The girl blinked.

After that, she and the puppy she was holding looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, the girl—that is, Haihara Lily Chou— ended her thoughts, looked up, and asked Sha Qina the following question:

"Excuse me, are you that notorious female cadre, Ms. Sha Qina?"

Sha Qina blinked as well.

The young girl suddenly called out her own name as a female cadre who was a notorious troublemaker.

It seems I really do know myself.

Could she really be a relative of Haihara- san?

But her intuition told her that something seemed off.

Why did she feel that this little girl possessed the aura of Demon King lord?

And she has the same aura as Haihara- san.

"No way..."

Although she was usually quite oblivious, this time she actually managed to keenly detect the Demon King scent emanating from the little girl, similar to that of Haihara- san.

While turning into a child isn't impossible for Haihara- Haihara, why would she want to shrink in the first place?

Is it because I'm nostalgic for my youth?

It doesn't seem like it.

Just then, she heard the girl in front of her raise her head, ending Sha Qina's state of confusion and turmoil:

"I hope this doesn't scare you, but anyway, it seems I still need to explain things properly first."

While Sha Qina was still confused, the young girl in front of her suggested that they find a place to have a proper talk.

---A few minutes later.

In a nearby underground bar run by Black Death Cult, the two men and their dog had a good chat.

To be precise, it was Sha Qina who listened to Haihara and the others explain the situation.

Cangyue Yuri, of course, also reverted from a dog to a human, wanting to support Haihara.

Although Haihara had no idea how a Magic girl who turned from a dog into a human could manage the situation.

On the other side, Sha Qina, having just heard about the events that had occurred recently from Haihara, was completely bewildered.

"Ah?"

What has she missed out on?

Haihara- san has turned into a child and lost her memory; she's been staying with the Magic girl these days.

Sha Qina never expected there to be such a way to play.

And she actually missed it?

However, after hearing all this, Sha Qina should have had enough time to process the reality.

After listening, Sha Qina covered the lower half of her face with one hand, lightly rubbing the tip of her nose with her fingers, appearing deep in thought.

"So, not only my colleague, but even you, Ms. Haihara, encountered an accident..."

This matter is much more complicated than expected.

What could possibly be the cause of Haihara's illness?

On the other side of the table, Cangyue Yuri sat next to Haihara and spoke on behalf of Haihara and Sha Qina:

"In short, that's it. Miss Haihara not only remembers nothing, but she has also lost her previous powers."

Now, although the three of them are sitting together, Cangyue Yuri Sha Qina.

After all, although this executive didn't seem very bright in my memory, who knows what he would think if he found out that Miss Haihara had become an ordinary person with amnesia.

This vigilance was, of course, also noticed by the Black Death Cult female cadre, whose intuition was always quite good.

Sha Qina revealed a mischievous smile:

"Hmm? You seem quite wary of me. I'm going to be heartbroken. Haven't I always been loyal to Haihara?"

"But she's just an ordinary person now, will you still listen to her?"

Cangyue Yuri's expression remained unchanged.

Although she didn't deliberately show hostility, it's unlikely that a Magic girl and Black Death Cult would make a friendly impression on their first meeting.

Upon hearing this, Sha Qina also crossed her arms and looked at Cangyue Yuri.

The tense atmosphere lasted for a while.

Sha Qina, who had been silent and motionless, shifted her gaze and glanced at the current Ai Haihara.
