"The amusement parks in the Americas District aren't anything special!"

Inside Disneyland in N City, Chen Xiaoxia looked at the crowds everywhere and exclaimed, "..."

"There are still many people, and we have to queue--"

"Brother Fang Ming already gave us instructions; we can use the fast track and avoid queuing."

Xiao Chun said, holding the ticket.

In this world-renowned amusement park, you would have to wait in line for at least an hour to fully enjoy a ride, but thanks to the fast track, they generally don't have to wait that long.

However, fast-track passes usually only restrict access to one or two items, while Xiao Chun and her friends have fast-track passes for all items.

As Magical Girls, they have this privilege.

"Wait, where's Brother Fang Ming?"

When Fang Ming was mentioned, Xiao Qiu looked around.

Xiao Bai and Aurora stood together, not knowing what to say. Song Niandong was moving closer to Xiao Bai, while Black Rabbit Youyou warming itself in the backpack behind Song Niandong.

The Magical Girls are all here, but Fang Ming is nowhere to be seen.

"Um... Brother Fang Ming..."

Xiao Chun subconsciously looked in Xiao Bai's direction and then said, "Brother Fang Ming said he has things to do, and it's not convenient for him, a boy, to come along with a group of girls like us."

"I see..."

Xiao Qiu expressed her regret.

Then she jogged over to Xiao Bai and asked the group of Magical Girls:

"Xiao Bai, Dongdong, Little Red, what are you planning to play?"

Aurora, who was baring her teeth at Xiao Bai, immediately composed herself when she saw Xiao Qiu approaching, and stood aside with her arms crossed, pretending to be aloof.

Xiao Bai glanced at Aurora, then at Song Niandong following behind her. She took Song Niandong's hand, placed it in Xiao Qiu's palm, and said to the two of them:

"Aurora and I have something to talk about. You guys go play some other games first."

"Huh? Can't I listen to what Xiao Bai and Little Red are saying?"

"... It's not that I can't listen to it, but... Little Red probably wouldn't be very willing."

Xiao Bai glanced at Aurora sideways.

Aurora simply snorted and turned her head away, remaining silent.

Xiao Qiu glanced at Aurora, then at Xiao Bai, and finally gave a kind and understanding smile:

"I understand. I'll take Dongdong over there to play now. We'll keep in touch by phone later."

"Good."

"Let's go, Dongdong, let's play that game together, it looks really fun--!"

As Xiao Qiu spoke, she excitedly grabbed the reluctant Song Niandong and led him toward the amusement park ride with a pirate ship icon in the distance.

After the two left, Aurora gently kicked Xiao Bai's shin:

"What 'Little Red'? My name is Aurora! Or you can call me Lyla!"

"That's Xiao Qiu's nickname for you. Why don't you say it to Xiao Qiu's face?"

"... That... that girl looks really fragile. If I refuse, she'll definitely look at me with teary eyes! I... I don't like making people cry!"

Aurora remained defiant.

Actually, she just didn't want to see her idol disappointed; otherwise, she wouldn't have refused the title of "Little Red" only in front of Xiao Bai.

That being said, judging from Aurora's expression, she didn't seem to mind Xiao Qiu calling her that.

Xiao Bai squinted at Aurora for a while, then walked towards the distant aerial amusement park, saying to the blonde girl behind him:

"Let's go over there first. Don't you want to see the scenery inside the park?"

"You want to ride a roller coaster right off the bat? Wait... why should I ride with you?! Didn't you promise to make me stronger?!"

"We're already here, and besides, Fang Ming paid the money."

"..."

Do you want him to waste his money?

"... You win!"

Under Xiao Bai's 'coercion and enticement', Aurora had no choice but to follow in Xiao Bai's footsteps.

Whether or not someone plays the game doesn't really matter; the main thing is that Fang Ming has already paid in advance.

Fang Ming taught Aurora martial arts, but Aurora didn't pay him much. In this respect, Aurora owes Fang Ming a lot.

Fang Ming invited her here to play; if she didn't, wouldn't she owe Fang Ming even more?

Um... it seems like it doesn't really matter whether I play or not...

But as Xiao Bai said...

Since we're already here... right?

So--

"Wow!! So much fun!!!!"

A few minutes later, Aurora, sitting on the roller coaster traveling through the tunnel, let out a joyful shout.

Magical Girls can fly, and when their magic power is sufficient, they can even perform various special maneuvers in the sky.

When a typical Magical Girls's magical power reaches the Middle Rank, she can generally guarantee a straight-line flight speed of at least Mach 3.

Normally, roller coasters are not amusement rides that would excite Magical Girls.

But Aurora had a lot of fun; it seemed to be the first time she had ever been to a place like this.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the fun, forgetting her troubles and worries, and the smile on her face was the one that should be present at her age.

Xiao Bai sat next to her, his expression seemingly unchanged, but a closer look revealed a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

It's unclear whether she was enjoying the amusement park rides or simply happy that Aurora was laughing so heartily.

After getting off the roller coaster, Aurora went to the staff to collect her candid photo. Looking at the photo of herself laughing wildly, Aurora couldn't stop smiling.

When he saw the expression on Xiao Bai's face sitting next to him, he couldn't help but pat Xiao Bai on the back and complain:

Why do you always have that same expression? Can't you ever smile?

"I'm sorry, I'm actually very happy, but this form doesn't really express my emotions."

"Ah... so you weren't deliberately being expressionless?"

Aurora blurted it out.

Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at her, letting her figure it out herself.

Then he turned and headed towards his next destination.

Spin the teacup.

"Wow, they have rides like this here too! I thought world-renowned amusement parks like this only had super-large rides that combined with technology."

Taking the fast track, Aurora, seated atop a spinning teacup, gave her evaluation of the attractions.

It seems she really has never been here before.

Xiao Bai sat opposite her, not turning the turntable in front of him, letting Aurora operate it herself.

The teacup began to spin, and the surrounding scenery also spun. During this time, Xiao Bai suddenly asked Aurora:

"Do you feel any more relaxed?"

"Ah?"

Aurora looked over blankly.

Xiao Bai continued, "Simply learning fighting techniques will only make you more and more tense. You need to relax appropriately to continue to become stronger."

"... Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Xiao Bai's seemingly plausible "reasoning" failed to convince Aurora. Aurora looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously, thinking that Xiao Bai was trying to fool her.

Xiao Bai calmly tidied the silver hair that had fallen in front of her, and said softly:

"This is Fang Ming told me."

"Oh... no wonder that last sentence sounded a bit like something an older man would say."

"..."

What the hell does this uncle taste like...?

Just as Xiao Bai suppressed his Desire to complain, Aurora suddenly asked:

"By the way, I still don't know what your relationship with that older man is. It seems like you two have never appeared together before?"

Aurora looked at Xiao Bai with suspicion again.

She had wanted to ask about this for a long time.

The fact that Xiao Bai on the Sky Screen and Fang Ming never appeared at the same time could be interpreted as Xiao Bai on the Sky Screen deliberately avoiding Fang Ming.

In reality, Xiao Bai and Fang Ming seem to have established a cooperative relationship, but the two still haven't appeared together at the same time.

What surprised Aurora even more was that she learned from Kelly that their phones weren't even turned on at the same time!

If one person appears, the other person's phone will inevitably turn off! Even Kelly's Data Doppelganger can't exist on two people's phones at the same time!

This is strange, quite strange!

This question had been buried in Aurora's heart for a long time, and today, taking advantage of being alone with Xiao Bai, she was determined to ask it!

To Aurora's question, Xiao Bai remained calm and asked in return:

What do you think our relationship is?

"I'm asking you, how am I supposed to know what your relationship is?"

Aurora rolled her eyes, her hands controlling the steering wheel of the spinning teacup, which she spun faster and faster.

The teacup spun so fast it almost flew off, but Aurora and Xiao Bai seemed completely oblivious and continued their conversation.

Aurora said, "But I suspect your relationship with that old man is definitely not simple... You wouldn't happen to be his girlfriend, would you?"

"... You're overthinking it."

"Hmm, I don't think so either. After all, you're so cold, the older man definitely couldn't stand you."

Aurora nodded seriously, Xiao Bai speechless once again.

She didn't really want to talk to Aurora anymore.

Xiao Bai remained silent, while Aurora simply continued swirling her teacup. After a while, engrossed in the activity, she cheered again.

The two didn't speak to each other until the project ended.

But whether it was just her imagination or not, after several projects, Aurora did feel much lighter, as if the huge weight on her heart had been lifted a little.

Feeling much more relaxed after finishing yet another project, Aurora stretched and yawned, arms crossed.

She stretched, relieving the fatigue from the intense training of the past few days, and sighed:

"This place is really fun, no wonder so many people want to come here..."

"If you want, Fang Ming will bring you here again in the future."

"Hmph, so you've finally revealed your purpose."

Aurora suddenly smiled smugly, as if she had caught Xiao Bai by the tail, and pointed at her, saying:

"Saying it would make me stronger is just a way to get me to stay. It's the old man's idea, isn't it?"

"..." After being exposed by Aurora, Xiao Bai remained silent for a moment before nodding in agreement:

"It was his idea. He just wanted you to experience the pleasure you were meant to experience, nothing more."

The reason Xiao Bai brought Aurora here was to let her experience the joy of being with everyone, to let Aurora feel the sense of having companions, and to deepen Aurora relationship with everyone.
