Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

Day one.

In the middle of the night, Homura Akemi secretly climbed into Möbius's bed, paused time, and took cruel revenge on and tormented him.

Day two.

Homura Akemi... At noon, she bullied Mebius severely.

The afternoon of the second day.

Homura Akemi bullied Möbius again, using every corner of the room—from the bed and hallway to the kitchen, living room, and basement—as a place to torment him.

Day three.

early morning.

Möbius went to Madoka Kaname's house and slept with her. This time, Homura Akemi didn't show up, seemingly wary of the still-unawakened Madoka Kaname.

Sleep until dawn.

"Good morning, Mr. Möbius." Xiaoyuan stood in the living room and waved to Möbius, who was yawning as he walked up the stairs.

Incidentally, Xiaoyuan's parents also greeted Mebius.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Möbius came into the living room and thanked Xiaoyuan's parents. "I didn't expect my relatives' children to be so noisy and ruin my...house."

She sighed.

"If it weren't for Xiaoyuan's invitation, I would have been sleeping on the streets."

"Inviting the teacher to stay overnight at our house is quite surprising to us." Xiaoyuan's parents exchanged glances, and Xiaoyuan's mother, Kaname Shunko, took the initiative to speak.

Last night, she discovered that her daughter had boldly brought her teacher home to spend the night together, which greatly surprised her and her husband, Tomohisa Kaname.

Of course, if that's all... it's not a big deal.

However, the way Xiaoyuan looked at Professor Mebius worried the couple, making them suspect that their daughter had feelings for an older woman.

“This is my first time visiting a student’s home.” Möbius smiled and looked at Madoka Kaname with a slight smile. “As expected, the parents are both very outstanding people to have raised Madoka so well.”

While Madoka Kaname's kind nature is a factor, the upbringing by her parents is also a factor; otherwise, even Madoka wouldn't have grown up to her current level so easily.

If one is in the mud, it is difficult to cultivate a pure person, or rather, a pure person cannot live in the mud. Xiaoyuan's family and environment are the most suitable environment.

"The teachers deserve credit for this as well." Kaname Junko showed a hint of pride, very satisfied with her daughter. Being able to provide such an environment for her child is something most people cannot do. Even world-renowned tycoons and the most elite politicians cannot do what she has done.

In a sense, she was a very good mother.

Of course, her husband is also a good father.

“The influence of one’s family of origin is the greatest.” Möbius stopped beside Madoka Kaname, met her eyes, and smiled gently. “If Madoka had a wish, it would probably be something like world peace.”

“I do hope that Madoka can think more about herself.” Kaname Shunko shook her head. “Whether you want to save the world or not, you should understand why you want to do it, otherwise you will definitely regret it.”

Madoka Kaname responded softly, "Mm."

Chapter 232

Mercury... oops, I mean Infinite Serpent.

A very ordinary breakfast.

However, for most ordinary people, this is indeed a luxury; being able to find a moment of leisure amidst a busy schedule is already a precious thing.

For many people, simply getting along and compatibility in personality is already a very painful experience, even for parents.

Not to mention, enjoying a cozy breakfast.

"We're heading out." Madoka Kaname waved to her father, who was standing at the door watching her walk away, then her gaze fell on Möbius beside her.

"Let's go, Professor Möbius."

"Hmm." Mebius smiled gently, extending her slender hand to Xiaoyuan, her palm slightly open, as if inviting her.

Seeing this, Madoka Kaname hesitated slightly, then gently raised her hand and grasped Möbius's slender hand, following in Möbius's footsteps towards the school.

She occasionally looked up and glanced at her mature and intellectual teacher, Möbius, beside her, before quickly lowering her head again when he looked at her.

In fact, she felt very... complicated about Professor Möbius, with a strange sense of familiarity and a feeling of ease and freedom in their company.

All of this made her feel... awkward.

Yes, she felt conflicted, wondering how Professor Möbius viewed her, and how she viewed Professor Möbius.

The positioning here has always been ambiguous.

And just then.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Mebius~" A melodious girl's voice rang out, causing Mebius to twitch the corner of her mouth. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Homura Akemi appear out of nowhere and running towards her.

Naturally, he came to her side.

"I never expected that Mr. Möbius would go to school with Madoka." Homura Akemi gently brushed her hair with her slender hand, her beautiful face bearing a bewitching smile, her dark eyes carrying an inexplicable meaning. "Yesterday I went to Mr. Möbius's house, but I waited all night."

"Xiao Yan, what's up?" Möbius asked seriously. "Also, it's best for students not to wander around or go to teachers' houses, as that's very dangerous."

“That’s right.” Madoka Kaname nodded in agreement subconsciously, then thought of Homura Akemi’s outrageous strength and her endless experience of reincarnation, and realized there was no need to worry at all.

The people who should be worried are the ones who provoke Homura Akemi.

“It’s alright, Madoka.” Homura Akemi smiled faintly, her dark eyes sparkling. “This time, I went to see Professor Möbius because I suddenly remembered some crucial information.”

As soon as he finished speaking, time seemed to freeze again.

Everything froze.

The falling leaves, the moving vehicles, the passing pedestrians, the flying birds, and the neon lights along the roadside were all frozen in time.

It looks as if it's fixed inside amber.

"Möbius-sensei, do you want to know... why I became so strong after becoming a witch?" Homura Akemi quickened her pace and came to Möbius's side.

Upon hearing this, Mebius glanced at Madoka beside him, whose time was also frozen, and tried to pry open the frozen time.

However, nothing works.

“It’s no use. Although you both have the power to time.” Homura Akemi noticed Mebius’s subtle movements and gave the answer with a smile. “However, I can stop your time. Even though Mebius-sensei also has the power to time, it’s the same.”

"Is there some little secret that needs to be explained during time stop?" Möbius asked Homura Akemi helplessly. She had indeed made a mistake; she hadn't expected Homura Akemi's feelings for her to be so intense.

Even more unexpected was Homura Akemi's reaction.

Admittedly, she had figured out the specific methods to manage after awakening into Demon Flame, but she never thought about being taken advantage of...

This was her subconscious... no, to be more precise, a blind spot in her thinking.

"First, regarding the truth about reincarnation." Homura Akemi's expression became slightly serious. "Möbius-sensei, do you think it's a single world that's reincarnating, or... many worlds that's reincarnating?"

“Many worlds,” Mebius replied, and Homura Akemi did not refute him, but continued to ask, “Then, Mebius-sensei, do you want to know how to reincarnate?”

"Homura, do you have memories of reincarnation?" Mebius's eyes flickered slightly, and Homura Akemi smiled, came behind Madoka Kaname, and placed her hands on Madoka Kaname's shoulders.

"As long as you overcome despair, even if the world is reset, your memories will not be lost. Even if they are temporarily lost, you can regain them by overcoming despair again."

At this point, she added another sentence.

"Of course, there are differences in the 'authentic self' gained by overcoming despair. The more desperate the situation, the stronger the power and the more authentic the self will be after overcoming it."

“…” Möbius pondered for a moment, then asked Xiaoyan, “Will the true self I gain after overcoming despair be even stronger?”

"I don't know. You... have never become a magical girl and have ever actively overcome despair." Homura Akemi replied in this brief manner. "You have taken different paths in the past, but you have never... actively crossed them."

"What's the reason?" Mebius asked curiously, only to see Homura Akemi shake her head, release her slender hand from Komura's shoulder, and slowly walk up to Mebius.

The two looked at each other.

"This is a secret that cannot be told." Homura Akemi lowered her eyes and told her in a somewhat solemn voice, "If you know the answer now, then... it will affect countless efforts."

"Really?" Mebius asked with some doubt, his mind subconsciously pondering what could have caused this, what plan could have led to so many failed attempts.

“However, I can tell Professor Möbius some trivial information,” Homura Akemi suddenly added, standing on tiptoe under Möbius’s gaze.

Then, without warning, she grabbed Möbius's collar, pulled him forcefully, and kissed his red lips. Her dark eyes revealed a mischievous glint in her eyes, and her slender hands tightly embraced Möbius's waist.

A deep kiss.

A long kiss.

A long kiss.

Homura Akemi only let go when she felt satisfied, and then, just as Möbius was about to speak, she took the initiative to cancel the time stop.

The wind began to move again.

Homura Akemi turned around, her long black hair swaying, and said to Möbius with her back to him, "Tonight, Mr. Möbius will come to see me, and I'll tell you the secret~"

Mebius: "..."

For some reason, she felt that Homura Akemi's style of doing things was very familiar, and she had a very strong sense of déjà vu.

Who did he learn this from?

"...What on earth happened?" Blinking her eyes, Madoka Kaname felt a little confused, not quite understanding the current situation, why Homura Akemi suddenly ran ahead, and why Möbius-sensei let go of her hand.

“I told you some…little secrets,” Möbius replied, trying to brush it off. However, Madoka Kaname noticed something was amiss, took out a handkerchief, stood on tiptoe, and gently wiped the drool from the corner of Möbius’s mouth.
