Let's Go! The Research Base!

"... Let's start with a short quiz so I can see how well you're learning."

Luna & Lien: "?"

Lien's expression was slightly strange. "You... you're really here to be a tutor?"

"Of course, since Mr. Charles is paying for it, I can't just do nothing. But Mr. Charles also said that if you don't want to study and just want to go out and have fun, I'll go with you."

"So, you're basically a tutor who also works as a bodyguard?"

Lien tilted her head and asked.

Xiao Bai sighed, "That's true, and that's one of the reasons Mr. Charles let me in."

"I thought you would use Suggestion magic to hypnotize Mr. Charles."

"I don't want to become your enemy yet."

Xiao Bai said simply.

Using Suggestion magic might indeed lower Charles's expectations of his governesses, but don't forget that Charles's daughter is Magical Girls.

Giving Charles Suggestion magic trick is tantamount to bullying Luna.

If Xiao Bai wants to become Luna's enemy, or if their relationship deteriorates to a freezing point in the future, then there's nothing wrong with her doing so.

However, Xiao Bai only took the job as a tutor because he wanted to get along with Luna. If he were to hypnotize Charles in order to get close to Luna, then he would be putting the cart before the horse.

As it turned out, Xiao Bai's choice was correct. After hearing what Xiao Bai said, Luna was slightly moved, and the resistance in her eyes towards Xiao Bai lessened considerably.

Noticing Luna's gaze, Xiao Bai raised the test paper in her hand, patted it gently, and asked Luna:

"So, do you want to test it out? Or would you like to put this down and go for a walk?"

"..."

Luna remained silent; she did not answer, but simply placed her hand on the test paper.

Lien chimed in, "Knowing full well that Luna dislikes crowded places, why would you still want to take her out..."

You might as well just say you want Luna to do the test papers.

Xiao Bai's expression remained unchanged. He pinched the frame of his glasses with his fingers, lifted it slightly, and spoke calmly:

"Or you could play games."

But upon hearing this, Luna remained focused on the test paper in her hands, her posture unchanged.

It's clear that neither going out to play nor playing games is as fun for her as doing test papers.

Xiao Bai stayed at Luna's house for a long time. During this time, they didn't talk about Magical Girls. Lien didn't ask about the situation in the Central Continent District, and Xiao Bai didn't ask where their investigation had progressed.

It was like an ordinary tutor teaching an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family.

The professor continued like this until very late before Xiao Bai finally said goodbye and left.

On the first day of meeting Luna, their relationship made no progress, but the wariness and scrutiny between them lessened considerably.

This is exactly what Xiao Bai wanted to achieve.

It was late at night when I left Luna's house.

Xiao Bai walked on the streets of N City, looked up at the gloomy sky where snowflakes were falling, and slowly exhaled a puff of mist.

The Magical Girls in the Americas District are still very young, just like Xiao Qiu and her friends back then, but their experiences and growth paths are completely different from Xiao Qiu and her friends.

One is Magical Girls who needs a cell phone to transform, and the other is Magical Girls whose Magic Heart was implanted by Magical Creatures, allowing her to awaken the Emotion Seed.

The traditional growth path of Magical Girls can no longer be used as a reference; their future will likely depend on their own exploration.

Xiao Bai can do is observe how far they can go and remain here as their last 'insurance'.

No matter where she goes, Xiao Bai seems unable to escape the fate of being a 'firefighter'.

With another sigh, she exhaled a puff of white mist. Dressed in a white down jacket that matched her hair color, over which she wore a women's work suit, Xiao Bai walked towards the area where Aurora was.

During that time, she also went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.

After meeting the blue Magical Girls, only the red Magical Girls remained. Xiao Bai planned to use her cooking skills to open Aurora's heart.

But after Xiao Bai left the supermarket, she stopped in her tracks.

She frowned, glancing at the dark alleyway beside her. After hesitating for only a second, she walked into the alley.

The white figure entered the alley. Xiao Bai stood still, the magical light on the back of his right hand faintly glowing.

She was ready to transform.

But just before Xiao Bai was about to transform, a beast with golden eyes suddenly darted out from the shadows of the dark alley!

"Roar!!!"

Like a tiger's roar, the shadow hurtled towards Xiao Bai!

But Xiao Bai didn't transform and take out a sickle. Instead, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes. She stood still, not dodging, but simply raised her right hand, which was holding the ingredients, high.

Whoosh--!

With a flash of white, all the ingredients in Xiao Bai's hands disappeared.

Turning my head again, I saw a tall, strange 'girl' who was half human and half tiger, crawling on the ground, devouring the food in Xiao Bai's hands.

When Xiao Bai approached, she raised her head, her tail held upright, and opened her mouth towards Xiao Bai:

"Ha!!!"

The way that dog was guarding its food left Xiao Bai speechless.

The strange half-human, half-tiger girl in front of us is undoubtedly a 'monster' created by the Aurora Society members. However, compared to the monsters who immediately started shouting for battle, this tiger girl only attacks Xiao Bai's food.

It's like... she was just hungry.

Have they changed their tactics?

Xiao Bai squinted, and although he didn't transform, he summoned his scythe and slowly approached the white tiger girl.

The white tiger girl gritted her teeth, and the light emanating from the silver glasses that partially concealed her helmet showed signs of turning red.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai silently stopped in her tracks.

She put her other hand into her pocket and, as if by magic, produced a sausage, deftly peeled off the skin, and tossed it to the white tiger girl.

Awoo--!

The white tiger girl bit down, then moved further away from Xiao Bai again, chewing as she warily watched Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai:"..."

I don't know why, but I suddenly have a feeling that trouble is coming my way.

A standoff between a man and a tiger.

The prelude to the ending theme of episode 5 begins quietly.

(What an adorable tiger!!)

(Who says tiger girls aren't cat girls?! I declare! The newly released tiger girl is my new waifu!)

(To be honest, this tiger girl is so cute she doesn't look like she came from a laboratory.)

(Boo! This must be a new conspiracy by the Aurora Society! Be careful of this big tiger, Xiao Bai!!)

(I love Fu Rui's mom the most www, I believe she's a good person!)

Because the newly appeared monster wasn't as bizarre as the previous ones, many viewers who valued appearances focused more on the small head and started defending Tiger Girl.

But to be honest, at least judging from Sky Screen's behavior, this tiger girl doesn't seem like a bad person.

It's unclear how things are in reality, but since the Sky Screen itself is a production image transmitted from another world, there must be some distinction between the images of bad and good people.

For example, Xiao Qiu and others are portrayed as bright and beautiful, and their actions are glorified, making it immediately clear that they are righteous people.

For example, Dr. Avery, who appeared earlier, looks respectable and like a decent person, but in reality, he appears sinister and gives off a hypocritical vibe.

The tiger in question appears half in the light and half in the shadows, and her image leans towards the positive. Therefore, in the upcoming storyline, she should be considered part of the main cast.

However, the specifics are just speculation for Xiao Bai.

She's not a professional director, so how could she possibly know what the production team's chief supervisor outside the Sky Screen was thinking?

Besides, this tiger girl has never actually appeared in real life.

It's very likely that because Xiao Bai killed Dr. Avery, the C-Series monsters were stillborn.

The matter of the White Tiger Monster Mother needs to be put on hold for a while.

Xiao Bai raised her phone, looked at the lab coordinates Kelly had received, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.

With the fifth episode over, it's time to get down to business.

Chapter 246 Departure! Experimental Base!

Late at night, near the coastline of L City in the Americas District.

Magical Girls gathered together.

Aside from Luna, who is still missing, almost all the Magical Girls, including Song Niandong, were summoned here by Xiao Bai.

As for the purpose of coming here...

It goes without saying.

After everyone gathered, Kelly was the first to explain the situation to them.

"About 300 kilometers off the coast of here, there is an uninhabited island. According to Mr. Charles's investigation, it should be one of the main bases of the Aurora Society."

"While it may not necessarily be the Aurora Society's headquarters hidden here, at least a small portion of its core members are definitely here."

After Kelly finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai picked up where Kelly left off and said softly:

"This base was discovered jointly by Ms. Kelly and Mr. Charles. It's unlikely they found it beforehand, so our first priority today is to infiltrate the base and prevent them from activating the self-destruct sequence."

Although today is the Magical Girls ' 'team building' day, and also the time to settle scores with the villains, unfortunately, they can't just fight their way through.

To prevent the Magical Girls from uncovering their activities and capturing them all, the Aurora Society keeps almost every laboratory separate and independent.

They rarely contact each other, and even when they do, it's never through the internet's internal network.

Kelly tried to find the Aurora Society's various experimental bases through the internet, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

If Charles hadn't discovered some hidden details by observing the flow of supplies between the various groups within the Aurora Society, even with Kelly's powerful 'Data Magic,' she wouldn't have been able to find the Aurora Society's experimental base.

The Aurora Society very well hidden, which is why each experimental base should have a self-destruct mechanism at least once.

They knew, of course, that the self-destruct program was useless against Magical Girls.

The activation of the self-destruct program was not intended to harm the Magical Girls.

Rather, it was to erase their own traces.

Therefore, to prevent them from destroying evidence and to find a way to contact other experimental bases, Xiao Bai's first instruction was to quietly enter the village and not fire a shot.

Once Kelly hacks into their internal network and disables all self-destruct mechanisms, everyone can settle their scores and grievances!

"Alright! Come on!! I can't wait to blow their heads off!!"

Chen Xiaoxia, in her Magical Girl Form, slammed her right fist into her left palm, her fighting spirit soaring.

Xiao Qiu nodded seriously. "That's right, we can't let them continue like this! During this period, who knows how many people, like Sister Baihu, have been bullied and manipulated by them!"

"... White Tiger Sister?" Xiao Bai cast a questioning look at her.

Chen Xiaoxia explained, "It's the White Tiger Girl who appears at the end of the fifth episode of the spin-off. Xiao Qiu didn't know her name, so she just gave her a name on the spot."

"I see."

Xiao Bai nodded, not paying much attention, and then turned her gaze to the remaining three Magical Girls who had remained silent.

While Xiao Bai was giving her battle instructions, the remaining three Magical Girls didn't seem to be listening to her properly; instead, they were exchanging bewildered glances.

More accurately, it was Song Niandong and Murong Xiaochun watching Aurora standing far away.

Aurora crossed her arms and turned her head to look at the distant horizon, showing no intention of making eye contact with them.

For some reason, Aurora's cheeks looked a little red.
