She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

After confirming the death of Luo's mother, the remaining three members of the Luo family wept bitterly.

Whether it's the younger sister who has always followed her mother, the younger brother who has always been isolated by the family, or Luo Ruowei who has completely broken ties with her mother, they are all the same.

For Luo Ruowei, even though her mother has become a monster, the thought that she was once her mother makes it impossible for her to completely regard her as a monster.

Xu Ting could understand her feelings.

If her older sister, who was raised in the orphanage, turned out like this... she might even perform worse than Luo Ruowei.

Luo Ruoshan's path is more like Xu Tinghui's: knowing that this path is wrong, but unable to abandon his family who have gone astray.

Xu Ting walked to Luo Ruowei's side and stroked the sobbing girl's back.

Physical contact can effectively provide psychological comfort.

Many people who commit suicide due to loneliness and depression lack physical contact and can only numb themselves with the coldness of the internet and machines, ultimately leading them to their own demise.

To Xu Ting's surprise, Luo Ruowei was not satisfied with Xu Ting's "small favors". She actually hugged Xu Ting back, rested her head on his shoulder, and burst into tears.

At this point, Xu Ting couldn't refuse.

She had no choice but to try to pull her body back as far as possible, avoiding touching Luo Ruowei's private parts.

After a while, Luo Ruowei reluctantly left Xu Ting's shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Luo Ruowei said, her eyes red-rimmed, "I got your new clothes wet."

Actually, no.

Xu Ting ended her transformation and changed back into her casual clothes from her magical girl outfit.

Magical girls always ensure their costumes are intact and clean before each transformation.

Seeing the changes in Xu Ting, Luo Ruowei remembered the question she had wanted to ask earlier:

"Sister Xu Ting—can I still call her that?"

"What exactly is going on with you...?"

She wiped away the remaining tears with her hand and hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."

Xu Ting answered frankly:

"There are some things that are better left unknown to you."

"But there are some things that don't need to be hidden from you, as long as you can keep them a secret."

"I'll keep it a secret!" Luo Ruowei quickly raised her hands, as if making a vow, "You're my savior, I won't betray you."

"What if the super cute maid café wanted to ask you something?"

"That's fine too, I won't say anything!"

Seeing this, Xu Ting no longer concealed anything and openly spoke of the things that could no longer be hidden:

"As you can see, I am actually a magical girl."

"What?"

Xu Ting's answer left Luo Ruowei completely bewildered.

The former had no choice but to remove the parts about the "loser" and "Tianyi Group" and explain to Luo Ruowei:

"Have you seen magical girl anime?"

"I am a magical girl of the new era, and it is my mission to eliminate monsters like the cult leader who have been corrupted by evil."

"I possess magic, so I can do many things that technology cannot. My physical abilities are also comparable to those of a prosthetic body, which is why I was able to defeat the cult leader who had turned into a monster."

Luo Ruowei nodded blankly.

Since it was impossible to go into details, Xu Ting changed the subject to another topic:

"What are your plans next...?"

"The Gift-Giving Cult has been destroyed, and these believers are now under my control. There are no longer any obstacles preventing you from returning home."

"Are you going home to reunite with your family... or staying at the Adorable Maid Cafe?"

"One more thing, everyone in the store is looking for you. I came to rescue you without telling the manager who has facial paralysis. Remember to make up a suitable reason so we can coordinate our stories."

When this topic was brought up, Luo Ruowei's face immediately became clouded with worry.

She thought for a long time before finally deciding to speak:

I'm still planning to stay in the coffee shop.

"Ruolan is my sister. I cut her face with a knife. She probably still holds a grudge against me and won't treat me well in the future."

"My home is broken, there's no point in going back."

"What about your brother?" Xu Ting asked. "He did a lot to save you. He doesn't hold a grudge against you at all. On the contrary, he really hopes that you can be safe and happy."

"Ruoshan is only one year younger than me, he's already an adult, and he can take care of himself and Ruolan."

"Although I will stay at the coffee shop, it doesn't mean I won't see him. Let's just say we've each started our own families."

"After I finish arranging my mother's funeral, I will give him some of my savings, and then we will meet again every now and then, and I will provide for the expenses of raising Ruolan."

Upon hearing Luo Ruowei's decision, Xu Ting nodded.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about financial problems."

"The cult leader is dead, and all his ill-gotten gains are now ours."

"Returning back what he squeezed out of your family will solve your family's financial problems."

"What about the other people's parts?" Luo Ruowei asked.

"Because of the magic, all the believers present obeyed my command. I told them to claim their share and then return it."

Xu Ting shook his head and continued:

"As for the others, there's nothing I can do. Let's just say they were unlucky."

"Once the money has been distributed, the Gift-Giving Church will be dissolved, and the believers and their children will go back to their own homes."

"That's the end of it."

"I think we can leave the Gift-Giving Cult behind," Luo Ruowei suddenly said, making a surprising statement.

Sensing Xu Ting's strange gaze, Luo Ruowei quickly explained:

"Of course I'm not saying we should continue to cheat them out of money, but I think the organizational structure of the Gift-Giving Cult can be preserved."

"These believers have already gone astray. I'm afraid they'll take the money and leave, only to immediately join the next doomsday cult."

"It's one thing for them to die, but I don't want their home to become like mine."

She turned to look at the children in the basement and said with pity:

"If we don't disband the Church of Gifts and only revise its doctrines, at least these children won't go hungry."

She's such a kind-hearted girl.

In this cannibalistic world, this kindness could easily kill her.

But Luo Ruowei was lucky; she met Xu Ting.

The followers have been controlled by Xu Ting's Eye of Fear. All he needs to do is give the order to "maintain normal life" so they can follow Luo Ruowei's wishes.

While the adults are beyond saving, the children can still be saved.

"Transform the Gift-Giving Cult from an apocalyptic cult into a prison, and use magic to turn its followers into convicts."

"Luo Ruowei, that's a good idea."

Xu Ting stroked his chin and said, "But I still need to make some changes."

"I'll leave the matter of the etiquette education entirely to you, how about that?"

"Ah?" Luo Ruowei quickly waved her hand in refusal, "I'm afraid I can't do that..."

"If you come up with an idea, you should do it yourself; otherwise, you're no different from someone who just makes sarcastic remarks."

Xu Ting said firmly, "With my magic backing me up, if I say you are the saintess of the New Gifted Etiquette Church, then you are the saintess."

"No one dares to disagree with you."

"Alright then." Luo Ruowei readily agreed to Xu Ting's request.

Then, she tentatively asked, "Speaking of which, could I become a magical girl?"

Xu Ting summoned a crow, which glanced at him and shook its head.

"She has magical adaptability, but unfortunately she's an adult now. If she were a few years younger, she probably would have the potential to become a magical girl, but now that potential has almost completely disappeared."

"I've looked through the entire coffee shop. Besides you, only Yan Yuling has the potential to be a magical girl."

Xu Ting relayed the words to Luo Ruowei, who was immediately filled with disappointment.

But soon, she asked in confusion:

"I'm an adult, so I'm not qualified."

"But Yu Ling is a year older than me and is also an adult. Why does she have the qualifications?"
