That Child Is Special

However, that doesn't mean Chen Xiaoxia wouldn't use this incident to 'threaten' Xiao Bai.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xiaoxia acts arrogantly in front of Xiao Bai.

She, a future goddess of constables, a genius police officer destined to surpass even her father, is already doing you a tremendous favor by letting you 'criminals' go! So why aren't you hurry up and be grateful to Miss Chen?

"Ha..." Seeing Chen Xiaoxia's expression, Xiao Bai sighed helplessly and said perfunctorily:

"Okay, okay, we're grateful you didn't report us, alright?"

"!!!!"

Xiao Bai's intention was merely to appease the blue idiot, but to her surprise, after hearing her thanks, Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened, she quickly retreated, and issued a serious reprimand:

"Who... who are you! You're not that guy at all! Whoever you are, you get off her... ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, the chains projected by Xiao Bai struck him squarely on the forehead.

With a 'thud,' Chen Xiaoxia, whose head made intimate contact with the chains, squatted on the ground, covering her forehead and with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Bai looked at her speechlessly. "An idiot is an idiot..."

"Hmm... this feels right..."

"... Are you a masochist?!"

Even the usually taciturn Xiao Bai couldn't help but complain to Chen Xiaoxia at this moment.

The playful banter between Xiao Bai and Chen Xiaoxia didn't last long. After Chen Xiaoxia learned the whole story, everyone sat down together again to discuss Song Niandong.

Xiao Chun was the first to bring up the topic, initially steering it towards Song Niandong, and then asking Song Niandong and Youyou:

"So, you don't know how those of you on the Sky Screen managed to do that?"

"... What's wrong?" Chen Xiaoxia, with a band-aid on her forehead, leaned closer to ask.

But Xiao Chun pushed her head back, saying, "This is something you can't know for now."

"What a perfunctory response..."

Chen Xiaoxia muttered to herself, and finally sat down next to Yu Muqiu for comfort.

Song Niandong clung tightly to Xiao Bai, holding Xiao Bai's arm with one hand and Youyou with the other. She hesitated for a while before answering Xiao Chun's question:

"Dreams... I can do that... but... that space, I can't..."

She doesn't have that kind of magic yet.

Xiao Bai added, "But... judging from the current situation, that magic isn't the most important thing. Trapping me and that idiot in the Sky Screen is just to make it easier for them to make initial arrangements."

It takes time to drag the two Magical Girls into a dream.

The 'friend' with the three-dimensional spherical space magic was clearly only there to help buy time.

Even this three-dimensional sphere probably won't last very long.

The real killer move against the two of them is the Dream Magic that Nicole prepared, so having that is actually enough.

However, whether or not to do it, and how to do it, will depend on the plot of episode five before a decision is made.

"I see. It seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow's episode airs to discuss this further."

Xiao Chun made the same decision as Xiao Bai.

After the two finished speaking, in the silence that followed, Yu Muqiu finally mustered the courage to look at Xiao Bai and ask her:

"Xiao Bai! I... I have something I want to ask you!"

"... About the MP3 player on the Sky Screen?" Xiao Bai instantly guessed what Yu Muqiu was going to say to her, and before Yu Muqiu could speak, she calmly replied:

"Sorry, it's a secret, I won't tell."

"..."

Yu Muqiu swallowed back the question he was about to ask.

Xiao Chun, the only one of the three who knew the truth, also chose to remain silent upon seeing this, shrinking into the sofa to drink tea, while squinting at Song Niandong who was hugging Xiao Bai's arm.

The two of them once again used their "staring contest" technique to confront each other.

Ignoring the stares between Chun Dong and the other person beside him, Yu Muqiu hesitated for a long time before finally mustering his courage and saying:

"So... were you... friends?"

"No."

"You're lying!"

Yu Muqiu immediately said, "Your relationship with Brother Fang Ming must be very special, and your relationship with me... and mine must be very good too! Then why... why did you hide it from me?"

"You clearly care about me and want to protect me, so why do you have to act so cold? Me too—"

Yu Muqiu's voice was tinged with a sob. She looked up, her aggrieved face on the verge of tears appearing before Xiao Bai.

As the two locked eyes, Yu Muqiu finally shouted out:

"I also... want to be your friend!"

"..."

Yu Muqiu's tears made Xiao Bai quite flustered.

She immediately stood up, wanting to go forward to wipe away Yu Muqiu's tears and comfort him.

But ultimately, he suppressed his emotions with reason and willpower, and said coldly:

"I've already told you, you've misunderstood. I... at least in your memory, I don't even exist!"

Xiao Bai didn't lie to Yu Muqiu; she just used a different phrasing.

But in Yu Muqiu's view, this statement proved one thing:

"So you really did sacrifice your existence to become Magical Girls! You really... you really erased all our memories of you!"

Xiao Bai:"???"

No? Wait a minute?

How did the topic suddenly jump to this? Did I overlook something? And why do you think that?

Who on earth gave me this tragic character persona again!?

Xiao Bai's expression was strange, and he turned his gaze to Xiao Chun, hoping to get an answer from Xiao Chun.

As Xiao Bai stood up and broke free from Song Niandong's embrace, Xiao Chun's attention returned to Xiao Bai.

Seeing Xiao Bai looking at her, Xiao Chun silently turned her head to look at the coffee table.

On the coffee table, Nino and Youyou were staring at each other with wide eyes. Only when Xiao Chun and Xiao Bai looked over at the same time did Nino come back to his senses.

She quickly looked around, finally focusing on Yu Muqiu, remembering what Yu Muqiu had just said.

So she raised her head and said to Xiao Bai with a serious expression:

"You became Magical Girls without signing a contract, so you must have sacrificed something! Although I don't know exactly what you sacrificed, it seems that... at least your memories definitely don't exist in this world anymore, otherwise... we wouldn't be completely unable to find any information about you."

Nino was 'absolutely certain' that making himself disappear was the price Xiao Bai paid to become Magical Girls!

Nino was absolutely convinced of this!

Chapter 116 That Child is Special

Hey!

You calico cat, you're a fucking genius!

If Fang Ming were here, he would definitely laugh and use this kind of joke to tease Nino.

Of course, it was a sinister grin.

However, this was Xiao Bai, so Xiao Bai just gritted her teeth and said with a dark face:

"... You've misunderstood! Don't tell Xiao Qiu nonsense!"

"Then explain why you care so much about Xiao Qiu and the others?" Nino retorted.

Then he looked out at the transparent Sky Screen and asked Xiao Bai:

"Furthermore, you are incredibly angry about Xiao Qiu and Fang Ming being slandered. If you said you had nothing to do with Xiao Qiu, who would believe you!"

Yes.

It was precisely because of the slander against Fang Ming and Xiao Qiu on the Sky Screen that Xiao Bai angrily unleashed its Erosion Form, beating that damned black rabbit to death!

Even Xiao Bai herself has never been this angry when she was scolded!

With such a strong reaction, no one would believe that Xiao Bai and Xiao Qiu are just ordinary friends who met by chance.

Xiao Bai's face darkened even more upon hearing this.

Knowing the truth, Xiao Chun covered her face and lowered her head, afraid that she would burst out laughing later.

Chen Xiaoxia, standing in the distance, looked extremely serious and solemn behind Yu Muqiu, seemingly interrogating Yu Muqiu alongside Xiao Bai.

Judging from her empty eyes, she's probably still in a daze and has no idea what happened.

What sacrifice?

What anger?

Who's angry? Who am I? Where am I?

Forget it, I'll just stand by my best friend's side for now!

Xiao Bai could even guess Chen Xiaoxia's current thoughts, which were definitely the ones mentioned above.

As for Yu Muqiu, she seemed even more heartbroken, tears streaming silently down her face, her eyes filled with sympathy and sorrow.

It feels like as soon as Xiao Bai nods and says that she did indeed sacrifice her memories, Yu Muqiu will rush up to her and burst into tears, saying, "Why were you so stupid?"

Xiao Bai was certain that as long as she nodded, Yu Muqiu would definitely do it!

Will Xiao Bai nod?

Definitely not!

But if you try to come up with another explanation... Yu Muqiu probably wouldn't believe it.

The child has been completely fooled by Nino, convinced that Xiao Bai must have sacrificed something to gain his current power.

Moreover, the Xiao Bai creature on the Sky Screen was also very worrying at the end; its body was covered in red patterns, making it look like it had been corrupted by demons.

Nino must have mentioned the Erosion Form to Yu Muqiu, otherwise Yu Muqiu wouldn't be so worried.

In any case, the current situation is that unless Xiao Bai really tells the truth in front of Yu Muqiu, otherwise... we can only come up with a reasonable explanation.

Or perhaps they'll stubbornly hold on to the end.

Countless choices flashed through Xiaobai's mind. Xiao Bai opened his mouth as if to say something, but then he remembered the MP3 player he spoke to in episode four and closed his mouth again.

She took a deep breath and said earnestly to Yu Muqiu:

"You don't need to know who I am, it's not important. If you really want to know who I am, you can continue watching the Sky Screen. One day, the Sky Screen will tell you everything."

If the Sky Screen continues to play, Xiao Bai's identity will inevitably be exposed one day.

But that's definitely not now.

Xiao Bai's plan was to keep it a secret for as long as possible before it was exposed. As for what would happen later... that would be for Fang Ming to handle in the future! It had nothing to do with her now!

"But I want to..." Yu Muqiu took a step forward, wanting to confide something to Xiao Bai.

But Xiao Bai raised her hand and refused.

"Whatever you're thinking, it's impossible. I won't tell you anything about me. If you want to know... then find out for yourself."

"... Then... I want to be friends with you, is that not allowed?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Muqiu took a step back and lowered his head to speak.

Her voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

Ever since the last great battle, Yu Muqiu had wanted Xiao Bai to become her friend, but Xiao Bai seemed to be avoiding her. Either she couldn't see Xiao Bai at all, or if she did see her, they would quickly part ways.

Yesterday's meeting was supposed to be a great opportunity, but when Yu Muqiu heard that Xiao Bai had rejected him and refused to join the Magical Girl Division, he was so distraught that he forgot to send Xiao Bai a friendship card.

Now, however, this presents a perfect opportunity, Yu Muqiu is determined not to let it slip by!

She wants to be friends with Xiao Bai!
