Nino Is a Dumb Cat

Song Niandong pointed to a spot, Fang Ming went over to take a look. Sure enough, there was a hidden room there, just big enough for one person to sit in.

Fang Ming reached out and probed the left and right sides of the dark room, his eyes flickering slightly, but he said nothing. He turned to Song Niandong and praised her:

"You managed to hide in such a small place for so long, Dongdong, you're really amazing!"

"N-nothing... it's nothing..."

Dongdong said in a low voice.

Xiao Chun's gaze wandered around the haunted house, as if searching for something. She overheard Fang Ming and Dongdong's conversation and was about to turn to Dongdong to say something when she suddenly saw a terrifying rabbit-shaped doll behind Fang Ming, raising a 'chainsaw' in its hand towards Fang Ming.

Xiao Chun's pupils shrank upon seeing this. "Brother Fang Ming! Be careful—!"

"Um?"

Before Xiao Chun could remind him, Fang Ming peered behind him first.

The palm collided with the rabbit's 'hand' holding the chainsaw, and the hand gripped the rabbit toy's arm with precision and force.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Ming pulled with his right hand, dragging the rabbit in front of him.

Seeing the slightly 'terrified' expression on the toy rabbit's face, Fang Ming laughed. He grabbed the rabbit's arm with one hand and its lower body with the other, pulling it back and forth while asking Dongdong:

"These toys are really fun; they can move and even have expressions. Where did you buy them? They're so high-tech!"

"..."

"..."

Looking at the terrifying rabbit doll that Fang Ming had grabbed and held in his hand, now truly a 'toy', Xiao Chun and Song Niandong fell silent.

After a long pause, Song Niandong finally said, "It was... it was made by my own hands."

"Oh?"

Fang Ming looked at Song Niandong in surprise. "You made this? That's amazing!"

Fang Ming actually believed Song Niandong's words so easily, while Xiao Chun, who had also heard Song Niandong's words, narrowed her eyes and asked Song Niandong:

"Are you sure you made them?"

"Um."

Song Niandong nodded without much thought.

"Then you should know that these toys are actually—"

Xiao Chun didn't say the word 'familiar' aloud because Fang Ming was standing next to her.

Xiao Chun didn't want Fang Ming, an ordinary person, to know these things, but Song Niandong didn't seem to intend to hide them.

She continued, following Xiao Chun's words:

"Familiars... is that so? Yes, I asked Youyou to put them here."

"!!!"

Fang Ming: "?"

(Wait... they're really going to lay their cards on the table now?!)

(Does Dongdong not know how to lie...?)

(Something's not right. I feel like Dongdong had already decided something when Xiao Chun was about to come in.)

(It must have been that wicked rabbit's idea! Is my cousin in danger?!)

"If anything happens to Brother Fang Ming, you're finished today!"

Below the Sky Screen, Chen Xiaoxia was the first to catch a rabbit that was trying to escape, and she held it in her hand and shook it back and forth.

Having experienced the sensation of a 'human-powered roller coaster,' Youyou's expression at this moment is one of utter despair.

She had a premonition that from the current seventh episode to the end of the twelfth episode, including the seventh episode, she would probably have to put on a 'collective execution' after each of the remaining six episodes.

So for the next six days, every single day will be her day of suffering!

What could Youyou do?

She had no choice but to accept her fate.

Go ahead and shake it. As long as you don't actually turn me into a spicy rabbit head, you can do whatever you want with me.

Youyou looked serene.

Compared to Chen Xiaoxia's attitude, Fang Ming, who seemed to be in danger, was relatively calm. He even had the leisure to comment on Xiao Chun's actions:

"Xiao Chun, you're still too hasty."

"... There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm on the Sky Screen, so I don't know anything."

Xiao Chun shrugged and said.

In order to become more useful, Xiao Chun on the Sky Screen chooses to infiltrate Youyou's side.

But Youyou was always alone... A rabbit appeared, never letting Xiao Chun see who the Magical Girls she had a contract with was, which made Xiao Chun somewhat anxious.

On the one hand, she was worried that if the delay continued, Youyou's plan would succeed, bringing even greater trouble and danger to everyone.

On the one hand, they also worry that they will be Youyou brainwashed by Youyou every day, and actually fall into the arms of the villain.

So when she realized that the person might be the Magical Girls behind the scenes, Xiao Chun naturally chose to confirm it immediately.

Unexpectedly, Song Niandong had no intention of testing Xiao Chun back and forth. After realizing Xiao Chun's thoughts, she chose to confront him on the spot.

Now that she has chosen to confront the situation, unless Xiao Chun truly agrees to stand by Youyou's side, she will definitely be in danger.

However... such danger might be inevitable for Xiao Chun.

After all, this is already the seventh episode. If Xiao Chun doesn't activate her Shining Form soon, she'll probably have a hard time participating in the final battle.

Xiao Chun's only worry right now is that Fang Ming is also with them.

If Fang Ming sees Xiao Chun in danger and can't resist transforming...

"So... you really are--!?"

Song Niandong's revelation shocked Xiao Chun.

Song Niandong, however, looked at Xiao Chun with curiosity and asked her:

"Aren't you on our side? Why are you so surprised?"

"..."

Xiao Chun's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly in the darkness; she was unable to answer Song Niandong's question immediately.

At the crucial moment, Youyou voice came from the side:

"Because I never told her that you were the one who did all of this."

The Black Rabbit Youyou out of the darkness and landed behind Song Niandong, standing side by side with her.

Her red pupils glowed eerily in the darkness as she stared at Xiao Chun and said:

"And she agreed too quickly, so I was originally planning to observe her for a while, but I didn't expect... this child is so smart... no, have we revealed too much?"

Song Niandong and the others did indeed reveal quite a bit.

When the Toy Bear first appeared, Song Niandong was among them. Then, when the Pencil Monster appeared, it was Song Niandong's homeroom teacher who was injured.

The Black Rabbit that later appeared in Fang Ming's bedroom at Yu Muqiu's house was an even bigger clue.

The fact that Song Niandong is present in every scene related to the new Magical Girls is highly suspicious.

Xiao Chun is the smartest of the trio; any connection is enough for her to suspect Song Niandong.

Moreover, Song Niandong has so many flaws.

Even so, Xiao Chun still had concerns and worries in her heart, wondering if she had guessed wrong, or if she had misunderstood something.

After all, Song Niandong's background is indeed pitiful.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chun's fantasy was shattered by Song Niandong herself. The Magical Girls who had been targeting them was none other than Song Niandong!

Xiao Chun's mind was racing, but she suddenly thought of Fang Ming beside her.

Almost instinctively, Xiao Chun shielded Fang Ming behind her and looked up at Youyou, asking:

"What... what do you mean by this! Why are you saying these things in front of Brother Fang Ming!"

The fact that Magical Girls don't tell ordinary people about their Magical Girls is something they tacitly understand, though they don't say it explicitly.

There are two reasons for not telling ordinary people: one is that even if they did, ordinary people might not believe it, and the other is that it wouldn't make any difference for ordinary people to know about the existence of Magical Girls.

Because they couldn't harm the Demons, there was nothing they could do but worry.

But at this moment, the world of Magical Girls was being revealed to Fang Ming, which gave Xiao Chun a bad feeling.

Having watched some crime films, she knew very well that once the 'hostages' learned certain truths, their lives could be in danger!

Xiao Chun's worries were justified, because she soon heard the answer from Black Rabbit Youyou:

"'Why'? It's simple, because Fang Ming is also a crucial part of my plan."

What do you mean by that!?

"Xiao Chun, you're a smart child, you should be able to guess what we're talking about, hostages, hostages."

Youyou's gaze shifted to Fang Ming, and she said:

"This guy is not only closely connected to you Magical Girls, but also has some connection with that white-haired Magical Girls. As long as I have him by my side, I'm confident I can defeat even two Magical Girls in their Shining Form at the same time."

"This... this is just too much!"

That's despicable.

Xiao Chun was about to say that when Youyou interrupted her, saying, "Don't worry, we didn't intend to hurt him. After all, he's a really good person, and Dongdong likes him a lot, so..."

Youyou's red eyes turned to Xiao Chun, her emotionless gaze falling on her, and she said slowly:

"Xiao Chun, it's time for you to make a choice."

"!" Xiao Chun exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening. "You... you want me Fang Ming -gege..."

"That's right, this is the real test for you, the true test."

The Youyou's mouth split open, as if revealing an evil smile.

Xiao Chun froze, not daring to look at Fang Ming's expression behind her.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Should we listen to Youyou and temporarily put Fang Ming in a difficult position, continuing to stand by Youyou's side to gather more information and intelligence, or... turn against Youyou now?

If I were to really turn against them, would I be a match for Youyou and Dongdong?

Xiao Chun's body trembled slightly; at that moment, she finally realized that her choice might have been wrong.

She shouldn't have agreed to Youyou's conditions in the first place.

But just as Xiao Chun was struggling with her decision, a large hand was placed on her shoulder. The reassuring warmth stopped Xiao Chun's trembling, and she turned her head to look.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Fang Ming's smile remained, but it had become much more subdued. He pulled Xiao Chun behind him, stood in front of Xiao Chun, looked directly at the rabbit and Song Niandong, and said softly:

"But I will not allow my child to be threatened like this, you damned rabbit!"

Fang Ming spoke, his body completely blocked Xiao Chun's view.

Like a thick wall.

Reassuring.

Chapter 147 Nino is a Silly Cat

(My cousin is a real man!)

(Although I sometimes envy or even feel jealous of Fang Ming, I have to say that his performance at this moment was impeccable.)

(Isn't my cousin always like this? He always protects Xiao Qiu and the others when they're out.)

(But even so... my cousin is just an ordinary person, he can't beat Youyou and the others, right?)

(Indeed, this is troublesome!)
