You call this a love game?

Nagisa, who is free, is thinking about very bad things.

Because Nagisa is free, maybe...

Nagisa will never receive her mother's love again.

I will definitely never be loved again.

If she can no longer be loved, then if her mother's illness is cured, Nagisa will never be needed again.

However, if I make a wish, I can help my mother for the first time if her illness is cured.

If the illness is cured, one might be thanked, appreciated, remembered, and rediscovered, which could lead to regret.

In that case, Nagisa will surely be loved again and will become the happy Nagisa she once was.

While pondering, Kyubey couldn't help but retort, "If all magical girls were like you, human society might collapse in an instant."

"What an annoying alien!"

After giving Kyubey a piece of her mind, Yu decided not to stay any longer. She still had a lot of bad guys on her list that she hadn't killed yet, and she needed to get on with it quickly.

"Well then, I have to go. Although I can't be your teacher, I'll help you if you have any difficulties. I hope you can find a good magical girl senior."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Momoe Nagisa, snapping out of her daze, called out to Yu, asking loudly, "Yu...is Yu a 'good person'?"

"Huh? Me? I don't think so."

(If you had the chance to travel to other worlds, what would you choose?)

"Naturally, I'd like to find a world that's easy to get into but has a high ceiling, like the worlds of cultivation in various online novels."

(What if you could travel through worlds an unlimited number of times?)

"Then let's take it easy, avoid venturing into dangerous worlds, and gradually reach the upper limit of the current world before moving on to the next stage."

(And what if you can't die after time-traveling?)

Paper Shop lowered its head and pondered for a moment, then, remembering its own preferences, said knowingly:

"I know that in one place, one can attain supreme magical power in one step, gain invincible status, and travel freely throughout the heavens and the world."

"That is the world of (Puella Magi Madoka Magica), which possesses the strongest power: [Wish]."

Chapter Seventy-One: Wishes, Ambiguity, and Conflict

After parting ways with Yu, Hyakue Nagisa returned home.

Although, as she left, she felt extremely guilty and pointed her in the opposite direction from the hospital, saying that the person with the same surname, Baijiang, might have moved over there.

Even after doing that, her heart kept pounding, as if something big was about to happen, and a feeling of unease settled over her.

Is it an illusion?

After all, what she saw and heard today was something she could never have accessed before, and it was not something she could access at her age. It's normal for her to feel uneasy, right?

Bai Jiangzhu thought to herself, but her mood couldn't be calmed down immediately.

After talking with the sleepwalking spirit, Yu, her wish took on a terrifying shape, which is why she began to wonder if she truly deserved to become a magical girl.

That kind of Nagisa is wrong, unjust, and a bad child hated by her mother, but it seems that only by doing that can she regain her mother's attention and be loved again.

She almost made a wish to Cupid to cure her mother's illness, but then she remembered Bai Yu's words—she needed to let the mother know first...

"Then let's go see Mom again before dinner."

She can also bring the cheese she bought for her mother to try, and then she can tell her mother the good news. She will definitely be very happy!

But before that, she decided to go see Brother Baiyu one more time.

She wanted to tell him that she had made up her mind, and at the same time, she wanted to thank him for taking care of her these past two days.

Furthermore, there are still many things she doesn't know much about magical girls.

Although you could ask Kyubey directly, it always wants you to sign the contract immediately, and it feels like there's some kind of bad conspiracy involved, so it's better to go ask Brother Baiyu.

Judging from his behavior this morning, it's clear that Brother Baiyu knows Kyubey, which means he might also be a magical girl!

The moment this thought popped into her head, Hyakue Nagisa almost laughed at herself.

What? There's no such thing as a boy becoming a magical girl; that would be like a gender change.

Since Brother Baiyu isn't a magical girl, then Sister Mami is, right?

Or is there another magical girl you know?

In short, she doesn't understand anything yet. Whether it's magical girl or fighting witches, there's still a lot she needs to learn, and she must humbly ask Brother Baiyu for guidance.

Although she didn't want to bother Brother Baiyu anymore, the older sister named You couldn't teach her about magical girls, so Brother Baiyu was her only option. After all, she didn't have any other friends, or even anyone she was 'acquainted' with.

It's a pity she could only make one wish; otherwise, she could have helped Brother Baiyu make a wish he wanted, as a way of repaying some of his kindness.

However, being too greedy is indeed not good; in stories, greedy people often meet with bad ends.

For example, a mysterious deity can emerge from a lantern, and people can make three wishes to it. Whenever only one wish remains, people will try to use that wish to get three or even more more wishes.

But the genie lamp could not grant such a wish. However, since the wish had already been made, it could not be taken back or broken, so it was fulfilled in another way.

The person making the wish dies physically, but their soul lives on, trapped in a dream from which they can never wake. In the dream, they have countless opportunities to make wishes, and they are capable of anything, from ascending to heaven to descending to earth. Thus, their wishes are granted.

Recalling the ending of the story, Hyakue Nagisa quickly shook her head, shaking off those unrealistic desires.

Nagisa only needs one wish: to have her mother by her side. She is already content with that. Being loved by her mother makes Nagisa happy, and she doesn't need anything else.

As for Brother Baiyu... well, after becoming a magical girl, she should use her magical girl powers to help him with more things. She doesn't want to just keep accepting his help.

......

Arriving at Shiraha's... or rather, at the doorstep of Mami Tomoe's house.

Bai Jiangzhu pressed her small hand on the doorbell but then withdrew it. She looked down at the bag of cheese she was carrying, straightened her skirt, and then mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.

The door was quickly opened, and Bayadey stood in the doorway wearing an apron.

"Oh, it's Nagisa." Bayayo opened the door with a gentle smile on her face. "You're here so early."

"Good morning, Auntie..." Bai Jiangzhu bowed politely in greeting, then peeked inside on tiptoe, "Excuse me, is Brother Bai Yu home?"

“Yes, yes.” Bayadai smiled and stepped aside. “But that child is probably still sleeping in. Why don’t you go up and wake him?”

"Well... I'm sorry to have bothered you..."

Bai Jiangzhu walked into the entrance hall, changed her shoes, and then realized that she seemed to have forgotten to give the gift, so she quickly handed over the bag in her hand.

"Ah, this is a gift from today's visit, I just bought it!"

"That's so thoughtful of you, Nagisa is so cute."

Bayadai smiled, patted the girl's docile head, took the bag, and led her into the living room.

"You should know Bai Yu-kun's room, right? I'll trouble Xiao Zhu to call him for me. I'll go prepare some black tea and snacks for you."

"Yes, I'll do my best!"

Bai Jiangzhu seemed to regard this task as some insurmountable world problem, her eyes resolute and her steps firm as she walked upstairs, making a thumping sound on the stairs.

Then he realized that his footsteps were too heavy. Afraid of disturbing Bai Yu who was still sleeping, he quickly lightened his steps and carefully walked uphill.

Counting the steps, we passed the first door to Mami Tomoe's room; next door was Shiraha's room.

Bai Jiangzhu stood hesitantly at the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting together.

Although she had agreed very firmly just now, her attitude changed completely when she actually stood in front of him.

This was her first time going into a boy's room, and she was a little nervous.

She took a deep breath and exhaled the stale air from her chest, calling out softly.

"Brother Baiyu..."

He was about to knock when he discovered that the door had been opened at some point, revealing a narrow crack through which he could see some of the room's furnishings.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the quilt on the bed could be seen billowing in the dim light.

Since she was already there, Bai Jiangzhu decided to go all in and simply pushed open the door, tiptoeing into the room.

The calls had clearly had no effect; Hyakue Nagisa could clearly see that the person on the bed remained lying flat and unresponsive.

"Brother Baiyu?" She walked to the bedside almost silently, gently pushing the blanket aside. "Get up..."

However, the blanket suddenly moved, and an arm reached out from under the blanket and grabbed Hyakue Nagisa's wrist.

Before she could react, she was pulled into the warm bed.

"caught you."

Bai Yu's sleepy voice rang in her ear, his warm breath brushing against the back of her neck, "Let's see if you dare to play pranks again."

"Whoa!"

Bai Jiangzhu exclaimed in surprise, her whole body instantly stiffening, her cheeks turning red at a visible speed.

Her back was pressed tightly against Bai Yu's chest, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat. The bed was filled with the smell of sunshine mixed with a faint scent of shampoo.

"Why are you being so well-behaved today?" Bai Yu mumbled sleepily, one hand restraining the girl's wrists, his arm naturally encircling the person in his arms. "Usually you always struggle for ages..."

"Bai...Brother Baiyu..." her voice was barely audible, "It's me...Xiaozhu..."

Bai Yu seemed to have sensed that something was wrong as well.

The person in her arms was too petite and unusually quiet, so Mami Tomoe wouldn't treat him like that. She'd be lucky if she didn't take the opportunity to give him a couple of elbows.

So he slowly opened his eyes and met Bai Jiangzhu's big, watery eyes.

"Nagisa?!" Bai Yu's body stiffened visibly. He released his grip on Bai Jiangzhu and moved back slightly. "What are you doing here? I thought it was..."

He thought it was Mami Tomoe, no wonder he didn't elbow him.

"Xiaozhu, you've come to see Brother Baiyu..."

Bai Jiangzhu slowly turned around and met Bai Yu's awkward gaze in the dim light.

Her cheeks were burning, but strangely, she didn't want to leave the warm bed.

"Auntie said she could come up and wake you up... so I..."

At this point, Bai Yu understood why the girl was on his bed in his room.

It's all Mami Tomoe's fault!

He wouldn't be so sensitive if she didn't often play pranks on him.

The two stared at each other, the air momentarily frozen, and he even considered just driving off in a time-stop mode.

But just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Little White Feather~ If you don't get up, your big sister is going to spank you for being naughty—"

Mami Tomoe stopped abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the two people piled on the bed, the towel in her hand falling to the floor with a 'thud'.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Bai Jiangzhu subconsciously shrank further into the blankets, leaving only her eyes showing.
