"So, what are your thoughts on the next steps?"

Walking down the deserted street, Kyoko asked Abigail with some confusion.

"The idea? It's actually very simple. Find the magical girl in this city, and just compare the situation in the two cities with her. Then you can roughly understand whether our city is the only one that is special."

Abigail had already considered all the possible scenarios and described them to Apricot one by one:

“Now, we may encounter several situations. First, the situation in this city is completely different from our city, which means that the dream world itself is a huge conspiracy, and it is very likely that it is aimed at us.”

"There's another possibility: that this city, like ours, also possesses a dream world. In that case, we need to consider the purpose of the dream world surrounding the city. If so, the world beyond the mist becomes our next target for exploration."

After listening to Abigail's words, Kyoko nodded, as this coincided with her own thoughts.

"But where should we look for magical girls? This city is so big. I just tried, and it seems we can't open the dream gate here. I don't know if it's because we don't have the authority, or because there is no dream world here."

"I don't know, but why do we have to go and look for it? Wouldn't it be better to just ask someone who knows?"

"Ask someone?"

Xingzi asked with some confusion.

"Kyubi, isn't that guy the guide for magical girls? He must know where the magical girls in this city are."

"Oh, it! I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. But where is Cupid?"

"Chubi! Answer me if you hear me!"

As Abigail shouted, a snow-white creature emerged from the shadows.

“Abigail Williams, what do you need me for?”

"See, it's out here!"

Abigail turned to Anzu beside her and said something, then turned back to ask Cupid.

"You should know where the magical girls are in this city, right? Tell me."

“I do know that, but what do you want with the magical girls in this city? According to the agreement, each magical girl is responsible for her own area, and magical girls from different areas should not come into contact with each other, as it may arouse their hostility. Not every magical girl can get along as peacefully as you do.”

"Don't worry, we're not here to fight. We just want to ask the magical girl here some questions."

"Okay, I understand. Come with me."

After saying that, Cupid turned around and led the way for the two of them.

Following Cupid, Abigail and Kyoko arrived at a tall building.

"Chubi, where have you been? I've already cleaned this place. Is there anywhere else that needs cleaning?"

"That's all. These are the monsters that need to be cleared out today."

"Oh, alright then. Since there aren't any extra magical beasts, I'll head back now. Oh, and here, these are for you."

As the girl spoke, she tossed a handful of small black crystals into her hand.

Cupid quickly used the hole on his back to receive these crystals.

"Don't leave yet, someone is looking for you."

"Is someone looking for me? Them?"

The girl had already arrived and was about to jump off the edge of the roof when she heard Kyubey's words. She turned her head with some confusion and looked at Abigail and Kyoko not far away.

"Hello, you must be the magical girl who protects this city. My name is Abigail Williams, and I am also a magical girl."

"I know, since Kyubey brought them, they must be magical girls. But what do you want from me? If you want to learn how to be a magical girl, then forget it. I have no interest in teaching juniors."

"Junior? You're mistaken. We're not newcomers to becoming magical girls. We might even be your seniors."

"Senior? Are you from another city?"

Upon hearing Abigail's words, the girl immediately guessed where Abigail and her companions came from.

"Yes, we're from Mitaki, and we have a few questions we'd like to ask you."

"The problem? Tell me about it."

With the girl's permission, Abigail then began to ask questions:

"First of all, I'd like to ask if you have a dream world here?"

"A dream world? What's that?"

Looking at the girl's genuine expression, it was clear that she really didn't know what the dream world was.

"Then, for the second question, do you know what a nightmare is? Magical girls should all be fighting nightmares, right?"

"Nightmare? What are you talking about? Magical girls' enemies are monsters. Look, these are the crystals left behind by monsters."

As the girl spoke, she took out a small, cube-shaped crystal from her pocket.

"Are they really magical girls? How come they don't even know these basic facts?"

The girl turned her head with some confusion and asked Cupid beside her.

"Without a doubt, they are indeed magical girls, and they are very powerful. However, the situation in Mitakihara is quite special. Even I don't know what kind of changes have occurred there."

Cupid explained to the girl.

"Oh, that seems interesting. Hey, your name is Abigail, right? Tell me about your situation."

"Sure. But on the other hand, I'd like to see what exactly this magical beast you're talking about is."

The girl seemed troubled upon hearing Abigail's request.

"I'm afraid it won't be possible today. If you had come earlier, you might have been able to see the magical beasts. I've cleared them all out now, and they probably won't respawn until tomorrow."

"It's fine to check again tomorrow. We'll be staying here for three days."

"Three days? Aren't your own cities okay? Three days is more than enough time for magical beasts to grow up. Those magical beasts won't be easy to deal with then."

The girl said with some surprise.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of people here, and our nightmares are all in the dream world. Although we don't know exactly what that dream world is all about, at least we don't need to worry about safety in the real world for the time being."

"Oh, in that case, see you tomorrow. It's getting late, and I have some things to do tomorrow. By the way, my name is Naganuma Yuri. Goodbye."

After saying that, Yuri Naganuma jumped off the building and disappeared.

"This seems to be the worst-case scenario."

After a brief exchange with Yuri Naganuma, the two realized that the current situation belonged to the first type, which meant that the dream world only existed in Mitakihara, and that the dream world in Mitakihara was obviously being controlled by someone.

"Hey, Cupid, I forgot before, you should know quite a few types, right? Tell us everything you know."

At this moment, Abigail turned her attention to Kyubey, who was standing nearby. From what Kyubey had just said, Abigail knew that Kyubey also had some knowledge of the dream world, but he didn't seem to be the mastermind. Of course, this was only a preliminary conclusion, and the truth could not be determined at this time.

"I know less about the dream world than you do. I have tried many times to break through the misty world to explore the outside world, but I have been ambushed every time. Countless clones of mine have died there. It would be great if you could figure out the specifics of the dream world."

After hearing Cupid's description, Abigail was somewhat skeptical of what it said.

"Do you really know less than we do?"

"That's right, I don't lie, and I have no reason to lie to you about this."

"It seems this guy really doesn't know. What do we do now? Should we go back?"

After listening to what Cupid said, Kyoko turned to Abigail and asked.

"Let's leave it at that for tonight. Tomorrow we'll see what these so-called magical beasts are and whether they're related to nightmares. That would make our mission here pretty much complete. But I'm hoping for some unexpected discoveries tomorrow."

"If it were possible, that would be wonderful."

After saying that, the two left the building.

Back at the hotel, the two ran into Xiaoyuan and her friends who were going to take a bath.

"Abby, Anzu, we're still looking for you. Where did you go?"

"We went for a walk outside, and we just got back."

"Oh, we're getting ready to take a bath now, you guys hurry up and come too."

"Ah."

"Hey Xingzi, you're really not being fair! You two went out to play without inviting me. I was quite bored just now. Remember to invite me next time!"

Meanwhile, Sayaka said to Kyoko with some complaint.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll definitely invite you next time. By the way, would you like some chocolate bars? I just bought them outside."

As she spoke, Kyoko handed a chocolate bar to Sayaka, who then took one and put it in her mouth.

"Then I'll forgive you this time. Remember to call me next time!"

"Ah."

"Everyone, let's stop our chat here. If you have anything to talk about, let's go to the hot springs. We'll disturb other passersby if we do it here."

At this moment, Mami Tomoe interrupted the group who were still chatting, reminding them to watch out for passersby.

"Abby, we're going to take a bath first. You should come quickly too. The hot springs here are said to be very good."

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll go get ready and then I'll come over."

Afterwards, apart from Abigail and Kyoko, the other five people headed towards the hot spring. As for Abigail and the others, they still needed to prepare a little.

Watching everyone walk away, Abigail turned to Kyoko and said:

"Anyway, what we need to do now is enjoy ourselves. It's a rare opportunity to come to the beach, so let's not let this incident ruin our fun. Let's hurry up and get ready to go to the hot springs."

"You're really carefree! But you're right, there's no use thinking about this now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Afterwards, the two returned to their respective rooms, prepared themselves, and then went to the hot spring.

"Ah, this feels so good. All the fatigue of the day has vanished here."

Upon entering the hot spring, Abigail lay lazily in the water.

Just then, Xiaoyan came to Abigail's side.

"You didn't just go out for a stroll today, did you? What did you find out? Tell me."

Abigail turned to look at Xiaoyan:

"I thought you weren't interested in this. Actually, I can tell you, but you absolutely mustn't tell Xiaoyuan and the others."

"can."
