As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"That's not entirely true. The situation is still unclear, and it's not impossible. Besides, even if we told them, it wouldn't make any real difference. It's better to keep it from them for now."

"Well, I see."

After saying that, Kyoko stood up, jumped onto the tall building, and then left.

After watching Kyoko leave, Abigail rushed home.

Back in her room, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems Xiaoyuan didn't notice I left..."

Click! Just then, the door to the room opened.

Abigail looked guilty and turned to look at the door, where she saw Xiaoyuan walk in naturally.

"Hey, Abby, I didn't expect you to be up so early today."

"Haha, I went to bed early yesterday, so I woke up a little earlier today."

"That's right, you should be a good child who goes to bed early and gets up early. Since you're up so early, I don't need to spend time waking you up. You should be able to go to school today."

"Oh, yes."

As she spoke, Abigail suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.

"Look at you, hurry up and go wash up."

"Ah."

Abigail wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and then walked towards the bathroom.

Xiaoyuan followed Abigail out of the room.

Arriving at the bathroom, Abigail saw Xiaoyan washing her face inside and went in.

"You went out last night, didn't you?"

At that moment, Xiaoyan, who was washing her face, suddenly spoke up.

"Did you find out? I went out for a little fun last night, but don't tell Xiaoyuan, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to snitch, but it's best to avoid doing things like what happened last night."

Xiaoyan's words alerted Abigail.

"So you know what I was doing yesterday?"

"Yeah, I've been following you the whole time. You two are really brave, daring to run around in such a dangerous place as the dream world."

Xiaoyan's next words made Abigail relax her guard a little.

"So you were following me. Why didn't you come out?"

"I just wanted to see what you were up to."

"That......"

Just as Abigail was about to continue questioning Xiaoyan...

"You don't need to ask me anything else. I've seen everything you've seen. As for what you haven't seen, I don't know either. I'm just giving you some advice: do less dangerous things."

"I never expected you would care about me."

Abigail said, watching Xiaoyan walk out of the restroom.

"I just didn't want Xiaoyuan to see you get hurt."

Chapter 251 Preparations Before the Trip

"Hey, what do you think we should do next?"

Several days have passed since the initial exploration, and during this time, Kyoko has been quite uneasy. A thorn remains in her side, and she desperately wants to uncover the truth of the matter.

"What else can we do? We'll just have to take it one step at a time. Right now, we don't even have a complete picture of what's going on, so even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn't know where to start. You don't want to go out into the mist again, do you? Maybe you'll run into other people there."

Compared to Kyoko, Abigail has had a relatively easier time lately. Well, not exactly easy, but she's a rather carefree person and doesn't dwell on these kinds of things.

"We have to find a solution. Although it seems fine now, who knows what might happen later."

"Actually, if we're going to put it this way, I've thought of a question."

"what?"

Xingzi quickly asked, as he was currently worried about not having any direction.

"It's actually quite simple. The dream world we saw earlier clearly encompassed the entire area of ​​our city. But what if we leave this city?"

After listening to Abigail's words, Kyoko suddenly understood.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? You're really smart in these areas."

"It's as if I'm not smart in any way. Don't look at my poor grades; it's just because I don't want to study."

"Yes, yes, when shall we go to the next city?"

Xingzi asked somewhat impatiently.

"Don't rush. We don't have any reason to leave this city right now. Leaving without permission might arouse the suspicion of the mastermind. Actually, we have a very good opportunity."

"At what time?"

Xingzi asked, puzzled.

"You forgot? Final exams are in a few days, and then it'll be summer vacation. Where are we going for summer vacation?"

"You mean you want to investigate the situation there while you're at the beach?"

Kyoko immediately understood what Abigail meant. If this matter could be used as a tool, it would indeed be a good opportunity.

"That's right. So let's wait a few more days, and when we all go to the beach together, we'll take the opportunity to investigate the situation there. Maybe we'll find something."

"Hopefully, there will be new discoveries."

After a brief exchange, the two returned to the classroom.

"Kyoko, I feel like you've been getting pretty close to Abigail lately. Do you two have some kind of secret?"

“Sayaka, what are you thinking? We were just discussing going to the beach for summer vacation.”

"Why discuss it with her? It's still uncertain whether she can even go. This girl is really troublesome. You know, we've already made plans to go to the beach during the summer vacation, but she still doesn't have any sense of responsibility. I wonder if Xiaoyuan's recent encouragement has had any effect."

"It should be fine, but judging from her confidence, she must have made great progress in her studies during this period."

"I hope so. By the way, since we're going to the beach, when can we go shopping together? You don't have a swimsuit yet, do you?"

"Yes, that's true. I've never been to the beach before, so there's no need for me to buy a swimsuit."

Upon hearing Kyoko's words, Sayaka showed a surprised expression:

"No way, you've never been to the beach? What a pitiful child!"

"Is it really necessary to be so surprised? You know my past situation. Do you think it's possible for someone from my family to go to the beach?"

"That's true, then it's settled. Let's invite Xiaoyuan and the others along too, and go shopping for swimsuits together in a happy atmosphere."

Time passed by, and Abigail and her friends continued their repetitive lives. Of course, for ordinary people, this kind of life would be normal. But these past few days, Abigail had been studying diligently, something she rarely did.

As she put it, it's like sharpening your spear at the last minute; even if it's not quick, it'll still shine.

So even during regular exams, Abigail would always review or preview the material beforehand.

"Abby, let's get some rest early tonight. Tomorrow's the weekend, let's go shopping together. You haven't bought a swimsuit since you came here, have you? We can buy you one then."

That evening, after supervising Abigail for a while, Xiaoyuan suddenly said something to her.

"Are you going out tomorrow? No, I'd rather stay home comfortably all day. It's a rare day off, and this is my last vacation before the exams. Can't we talk about swimwear after the exams?"

"No, everyone has already made plans. It's impossible for you to be the only one not to go. Besides, we're going to the mall anyway, so why don't we all go together tomorrow?"

"At worst, I'll just wear my school swimsuit."

Abigail said nonchalantly.

"Why are you doing this again? It's a rare trip to the beach, how can you wear your school swimsuit! I'm going to bring you with me tomorrow no matter what, don't even think about backing out."

"Xiaoyuan, you can't do this! This is dictatorship!"

Abigail said with a wail.

“Abby, I understand now. To deal with someone like you, you have to use such coercive measures.”

"Hey......"

Abigail sighed; it seemed there was no way to avoid tomorrow's hustle and bustle.

Honestly, most normal girls like shopping, but Abigail just doesn't like going out. She feels that shopping is a waste of life, and walking around is meaningless.

"Go to bed early, don't look so listless tomorrow."

"I know, I know, Xiaoyuan, you're practically an old woman now."

"Old woman? It's all because you're such a worry. If you were so easy to deal with, why would I nag you like this? Okay, goodnight!"

"good night!"

The night passed, and the next day, Abigail woke up again to a cool breeze.

"Xiaoyuan, you've gone astray. You never used to call me like that, but lately you've started pulling the covers off."

That's right. This time, it wasn't Homura who lifted the blanket, but Madoka. It seems that after discovering that Homura's method was very effective, Madoka also copied it and used the same method to wake Abigail up.

"Stop being so cheeky and get up. Breakfast is ready. Go wash your face, brush your teeth, and eat."

"Ugh... I'm so sleepy, I don't want to get up!"

Abigail tossed and turned in bed, unwilling to get up.

"Are you still a child? Get up right now!"

Xiao Yuan walked straight over, grabbed Abigail's hand, and dragged her off the bed.

Finally, seeing how determined Xiaoyuan was, Abigail knew that there was no way to get away with it no matter how much she begged. So she got up.

After making some preparations, the three of them went out.

In the plaza in front of the mall, the six people met up. By this time, everyone had changed out of their usual school uniforms and into more comfortable casual clothes.
