Is This Really How the Plot Is Supposed to Go??

But as she said those words, Xiao Bai looked away; she didn't look at Xiao Chun.

Although Xiao Bai has always been like this, avoiding eye contact when speaking, this time it was particularly obvious.

This is a sign of lying.

"You're the one who's really deceiving us, aren't you?" Xiao Chun pressed. "You've never told us why you became a Magical Girls, or who you made a contract with."

"This wasn't something that couldn't be said, was it? Now that you think about it, you actually couldn't say it, right? Because you weren't Magical Girls who made a contract with Magical Creatures. Your Magic Source... comes from Demons!"

Xiao Bai didn't want to talk about the relationship between Xiao Bai and Fang Ming, and Xiao Chun couldn't do anything about it.

Moreover, this is actually Xiao Chun's own private matter, and she doesn't want to discuss her private matters openly as if they were important.

Xiao Chun cared more about something else.

That's how Xiao Bai became Magical Girls.

Xiao Bai wouldn't talk about it before, and Xiao Chun thought that Xiao Bai might have some painful past and didn't want to reveal the name of her former contractor.

But now that I think about it, it's very likely that it wasn't that Xiao Bai didn't want to say it, but that she couldn't say it.

Because the source of her magic was abnormal to begin with!

But upon hearing Xiao Chun's pressing question, Xiao Bai suddenly turned to look at Xiao Chun and asked, "Is this important?"

"What?"

"Does it matter how I became Magical Girls?"

"..."

"Weren't I eliminating Demons? Or do you believe that the me who fought alongside you was just an imposter?"

Xiao Bai's ruby-like eyes were fixed on Xiao Chun as she slowly said:

"Murong Xiaochun, you're starting to lose your composure. Your emotions are clouding your judgment... Because of whom?"

As she said this, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she pressed on:

"Could it be because of... Fang Ming?"

"..."

"You like Fang Ming, right?"

Xiao Bai stepped forward and asked again.

Intimidated by Xiao Bai's imposing manner, Xiao Chun took a step back.

Now--

Offense and defense reversed!

Chapter 137 Is this plot going the right way??

Faced with Xiao Bai's pressure, Xiao Chun instinctively backed away.

But just a second later, she stopped again, stepped forward, and said to Xiao Bai:

"That's right, I like him! Do you have a problem with that?"

The girl didn't hide her feelings, after all, Xiao Bai wasn't Fang Ming, whom she liked.

However, Xiao Bai's expression became complicated for some reason after hearing this.

She looked at Xiao Chun for a long time before advising Xiao Chun:

"Give up, there's no future for you."

"Why should I listen to you! Besides, you haven't even answered my question!"

"I don't want to answer that question, Murong Xiaochun. If you're not letting your emotions cloud your judgment, then think carefully about whether that rabbit genuinely wanted to tell you the truth when it said those words, or... whether it just wanted to see us fight amongst ourselves?"

Xiao Bai tried to persuade Xiao Chun again.

Xiao Chun pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Bai continued:

"Whether you trust a rabbit that has attacked you repeatedly, or a 'comrade' who stands on your side, if you're truly rational, you should be able to figure out the answer to this question."

After saying all this, Xiao Bai turned to Xiao Chun and said, "Of course, if you don't consider me a companion, that's fine too, after all, from the very beginning—"

She paused there, gave Xiao Chun one last deep look, turned and left, uttering her final words:

"--From the very beginning, I never considered you all as comrades."

"..."

Xiao Bai left the rooftop, Xiao Chun watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.

Just as Xiao Bai said, because Fang Ming was involved, Xiao Chun had begun to lose her usual composure.

What is the relationship between Xiao Bai and Fang Ming? Is Xiao Bai really on the Demons side? And if Xiao Bai and Fang Ming are really close, will she hurt Fang Ming?

Her thoughts began to veer in another direction, and Xiao Chun no longer had the energy to think about the Black Rabbit's true purpose.

She just wanted to know if Xiao Bai was trustworthy and whether he posed a threat to Fang Ming.

But Xiao Bai didn't want to discuss these things with Xiao Chun, because the more they talked, the more mistakes they would make.

Rather than revealing too much to Xiao Chun, it's better to let Xiao Chun figure it out herself.

If Xiao Chun can calm down, she will definitely notice the discord in the Black Rabbit's words.

The premise is that she can actually calm down.

"... Xiao Bai, what you said at the end was a little heartbreaking..."

Hearing Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen say, "I have never regarded you as companions," Yu Muqiu couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.

She understood that the world inside the Sky Screen was different from reality, and that the real Xiao Bai might not really think that way.

But no matter what, whether it's the Sky Screen or reality, Xiao Bai is still Xiao Bai. Her words were indeed a critical hit to Yu Muqiu, who values his companions and friends.

Yu Muqiu looked at Xiao Bai pitifully.

Xiao Bai sighed and said, "I probably just didn't want to reveal too much in front of Xiao Chun, so... that's why I said that."

"I can testify!" Xiao Chun, one of the parties involved, also spoke up for Xiao Bai: "Xiao Bai definitely didn't think that way, Xiao Qiu, don't be sad."

Xiao Bai and Xiao Chun both tried to persuade Yu Muqiu.

Chen Xiaoxia looked at the two suspiciously, glancing at the Sky Screen every now and then, before suddenly saying to them:

"When did you two become so close? You were at each other's throats just now, but now you're like best friends. Did something happen that we don't know about?"

Chen Xiaoxia's sharp gaze fell on the two of them. At this moment, 'Silly Chen Xiaoxia' went offline, and 'Detective Chen Xiaoxia' made her grand entrance!

Based on her 'future goddess detective' intuition, she judged that there was definitely something wrong between Xiao Bai and Xiao Chun!

But the Goddess Detective mode had barely been activated when it was mercilessly thwarted by Xiao Chun's hand chop:

"Don't overthink it, keep watching the Sky Screen, you'll find out eventually."

"It hurts... so something really did happen between you two!"

Chen Xiaoxia grabbed Xiao Chun's hand and pressed her for answers again.

She reasonably suspected that Xiao Chun must have learned some of Xiao Bai's secrets, otherwise their relationship wouldn't have become so good.

So what's the secret?

It seems like Xiao Qiu knows about it too...

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Yu Muqiu and met Xiao Qiu's innocent eyes.

Chen Xiaoxia: "..."

Xiao Qiu, the look in your eyes... do you know or not??

Xiao Chun and Xiao Bai parted on bad terms, and Xiao Chun still couldn't find out the truth from Xiao Bai during this conversation.

The puzzles, on the contrary, are becoming more and more numerous.

Calm...

Calm.

Xiao Chun spent the whole day thinking about Xiao Bai's words. She thought about Xiao Bai's attitude towards her, Fang Ming's request to see Xiao Bai, and the mysterious Black Rabbit's Youyou words.

Finally, she took a deep breath and suddenly, as if she had made a decision, she firmly resolved to uphold her beliefs.

So at the end of this episode, after school in the evening, Xiao Chun once again went to the rooftop alone and used her magic to send out the magical signal that Black Rabbit Youyou had given her.

The cultural festival isn't until tomorrow, so she actually has another day to think things over.

But Xiao Chun seemed a little impatient.

The magical signal was released, and one minute, two minutes... a full five minutes passed without any response.

Watching the setting sun, Xiao Chun couldn't help but frown:

"... Did that rabbit lie to me?"

She had barely finished speaking when Black Rabbit's Youyou voice came from behind her:

"Don't think so badly of me. I need to make sure there aren't any other Magical Girls with you before I dare to come out."

Xiao Chun suddenly turned around and saw Black Rabbit sitting Youyou on the edge of the rooftop, its ears twitching from time to time.

Xiao Chun didn't care about anything else. She took a step forward and asked Black Rabbit:

"You said before that your goal was to prevent Demons from coming to this world, is that true?"

"Of course it's true. After all, our attacks on you were just tests, weren't they? We were simply testing whether you had the strength to cooperate with us."

Youyou lied through her teeth.

"Then why didn't you go directly to Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia, but instead came to me?" Xiao Chun asked again.

"Of course, there are various reasons for that," Youyou said dismissively, without directly answering Xiao Chun's question.

After she finished speaking, Youyou asked Xiao Chun, "Since you've already sent the signal, which means you're interested in cooperating with us, why are you asking so many questions?"

"I need to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong, right?"

"Hehe, of course it won't be a bad thing, believe me."

Light was reflected in her Youyou red pupils.

Looking into Youyou's eyes, Xiao Chun unconsciously connected Youyou with Xiao Bai.

They all had the same pair of red eyes.

Thinking of Xiao Bai, Xiao Chun asked Youyou one last question:

"If... I join you, will you... be able to uncover Xiao Bai's true identity?"

"Of course, to be honest, I'm also a bit curious about that child. She's not Magical Girls who was transformed from one of our Magical Creatures, and she's still able to maintain her own rationality after receiving the Magic Source of Demons. It's really quite rare... no, it's something I've never seen before."

"Even if it's just out of curiosity, I will investigate her, you can rest assured about that."

Youyou pointed out Xiao Bai's special characteristics.

The more detailed Youyou's explanation, the more Xiao Chun believed that Youyou wasn't lying, at least not about Xiao Bai's source Youyou Magic Source.

So after taking a deep breath, Xiao Chun said to Youyou, "Okay, I agree... to join you!"

The scene abruptly ends here.

The familiar ending theme begins, and episode six concludes!

(!!! Xiao Chun!! Don't do anything stupid!!)

(Oh no, Xiao Chun has defected to the enemy! What kind of development is this?!)

(... Although I guessed Xiao Chun might get criticized, isn't this criticism coming a little too fast!)

(No, Xiao Chun, how heartbroken will Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia be if they find out you did this! Wake up!!)

(Xiao Bai told Xiao Chun to calm down, and after watching her think seriously for an entire afternoon, I thought she had really calmed down. Turns out, she calmly defected to the enemy!!)

"Xiao Chun!!"

The barrage of comments exploded because of Xiao Chun's betrayal. Below the Sky Screen, in Fang Ming's safe house, Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia stared at Xiao Chun in disbelief.

They couldn't believe that one day, Xiao Chun would betray them.
