You call this a love game?

"What's wrong!" Sayaka turned to look at her. "Don't you want to be a little different?"

Madoka Kaname blushed slightly. "But..."

Madoka Kaname, who has no special talents or unique qualities, naturally longs for change and to become a girl like Hitomi, who excels academically, has an ethereal气质, and is very popular. However, she certainly can't say this in front of everyone!

She certainly envies sweet romances, but... it's still quite embarrassing for her to say these things out loud.

"Actually, becoming a magical girl is very simple." Bai Yu directly demonstrated her power to the two of them.

The ability to stop time, provide all-around healing, and even bind with the ribbons was demonstrated to the two curious girls, leaving them amazed.

“But everything comes at a price.” Bai Yu’s expression suddenly turned serious. “Especially since you may not be able to afford this price. Are you sure you want to know? Once you take that step, there’s no turning back.”

"Huh?!" Sayaka's eyes widened in surprise.

Although she had considered the potential costs, she hadn't expected it to be this serious, with no turning back...

Is he going to kill someone?!

The thought of the comics she borrowed from her classmates, where the protagonist had to join an organization to gain a certain ability, but had to pass tests to join, inevitably included scenes of murder. Although most of the characters were unforgivable villains, the thought of her own hands stained with blood made her shudder.

No, no! These people don't seem to have anything to do with cardamom rice at all, especially Mami-senpai who makes such delicious food, she's practically a tycoon!

Sayaka Miki shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off those strange thoughts.

"So what's the price?" Madoka Kaname asked, looking up.

Shiraha's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a 'tap-tap' sound. The air in the infirmary suddenly became heavy. Kaname Madoka unconsciously sat up straight, leaning slightly forward, staring intently at Shiraha.

"The price is—" He deliberately dragged out the words, watching the two girls nervously swallow.

"I will never grow taller again."

"Huh?" Sayaka's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Kaname Madoka blinked. "That's...that's it?"

Sakura Kyoko couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Tomoe Mami shook her head helplessly, though the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Bai Yu continued with a serious expression, "You also need to finish your homework on time, not be a picky eater, and do chores at least three times a week..."

Sayaka raised her eyebrows higher and higher. "What kind of price is this?"

Why do she need to do these strange things to achieve a miracle? She couldn't understand.

"Most importantly," Bai Yu suddenly raised his index finger, "you must listen to me, otherwise your body will be forcibly controlled by me, and you will become a puppet under my control!"

Sakura Kyoko couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, slapping the table. "Hahaha! Look at their expressions!"

Hearing Kyoko's laughter, Sayaka realized she had been tricked. She angrily scratched her hair and clenched her fists as if to strike, but since the two were not very familiar with each other, she clenched her fists but eventually let them go.

"You're so mean! How could you lie to someone!"

Miki Sayaka puffed out her cheeks and glared intently at Shiraha; the girl's slightly flushed cheeks said it all.

Even Kaname Madoka, who had been quite reserved, felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. She had just thought about whether she would be looked down upon if she remained at her current height in the future.

It turned out to be fake! How infuriating!

Chapter 106 God Loves the World

"Okay, okay, no more joking."

Bai Yu smiled, looking relaxed. "Although you made it sound really scary, it actually is quite scary."

He grabbed Cupid, who was hiding in the corner, and held him by the scruff of his neck, raising him in front of the two women.

"It can grant any wish you make. After making your wish and completing the contract, you can become a magical girl. It's a miracle and a magic, and the only price is that you need to hunt witches. It sounds like a pretty good deal."

Even with his neck being pulled, Kyubey didn't struggle. Instead, he naturally greeted the two of them, "Nice to meet you. I'm Kyubey. As he says, I can grant any of your wishes. If you have any wishes you'd like to have granted, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Any wish?" Madoka Kaname's eyes lit up.

"That's right, any wish."

Sayaka tilted her head. "It doesn't sound... too bad?"

All she originally wanted was magical abilities, but now it seems like she's also given a wish as a bonus. No matter how you look at it, it's a great deal, right?

“If you’ve ever actually fought a witch, you wouldn’t say that. People can die.” Bai Yu smiled mysteriously and gave her a meaningful look. “Moreover, a magical girl’s power comes from wishes, but fulfilling a wish also means taking on corresponding responsibilities, unless you choose to abandon those responsibilities.”

Not abandoning one's responsibilities means that every time one encounters a familiar or a witch, one must fight and eliminate the opponent without hesitation. This approach consumes a huge amount of magic power, and it is easy to be unable to support the next battle due to insufficient magic power, ultimately leading to the result of witch transformation.

However, abandoning this responsibility allows one to let familiars attack humans, 'raise' them, and harvest them when they mature. This not only avoids much fighting but also saves a lot of magic power. But the price is that one almost loses one's humanity. Watching one's fellow human beings being slaughtered is not something a normal person can do. In the end, crossing the line and becoming an unforgivable sinner is an inevitable outcome.

"Ugh...this is so difficult..."

Sayaka Miki was already having second thoughts. She only admired and envied that special ability and wanted to be surrounded by people and cheer for it, but she felt it was not worth it to give up something she could not bear just to satisfy her own little selfish desires.

Madoka Kaname felt the same way. She wanted to make her family happier, to stand out, and to achieve excellent grades, but upon reflection, it seemed that none of these things were worth exchanging her life for.

Or rather, her family is happy enough now. Although she is still an ordinary junior high school student with poor grades, she feels that living a healthy life and being happy with her family is better than achieving those so-called miracles.

There is no doubt that Madoka Kaname has no worries and is very happy.

"Alright, that's enough for today." He casually put down the cup and stood up. "Go back and think carefully about what wish is worth exchanging your whole life for."

The bell signaling the end of lunch break rang just in time, breaking the frowns of the two girls.

Sakura Kyoko jumped up and stretched, "Let's go! Class is about to start."

She tugged at Sayaka, who was still lost in thought, "Snap out of it!"

Sayaka seemed to wake from a dream, "Oh, oh!"

She glanced back at Bai Yu, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Kaname Madoka bowed politely and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "We will seriously consider this matter."

After the two girls left, Mami Tomoe asked softly, "Was this a good thing? Letting them come into contact with these things..."

She once longed for companionship, but she was also well aware of the dangers involved. A slight misstep could lead to her death at the hands of a witch, let alone two innocent girls like her.

"What's coming will come eventually. All we can do is let them prepare in advance." He smiled easily. "Besides, we're here for you. I'm very powerful, you know. The little witch is no match for me."

Mami Tomoe gave a soft "hmm" and followed Kyoko Sakura out of the infirmary.

She wasn't entirely worried about the two girls' safety. As Bai Yu said, even if it was just her and Xingzi, they would be more than capable of protecting them until they grew up to be independent. She was just worried that there might be two more people added to the mix in the future.

Bai Yu's charm was evident from the fact that she fell for him in less than a week. Although there were some personal reasons on her part, she believed that the two girls would definitely not be able to resist Bai Yu's sweet offensive.

A senior who is many times stronger than you diligently helps you improve your strength every day. He will also take special care of you during battles to prevent you from getting injured. Even if you do get injured, his amazing healing ability will make you envious.

And then there's that classic "Yasashii" style. Although it sounds a bit scummy, like a "central air conditioning" attitude, the service is just so good. He often cares about her mental health, chats about family, school, and the future. Talking to him always makes me feel very relaxed, and I unconsciously open up. I'll tell him my complaints or little troubles without thinking.

Mami Tomoe doesn't think the innocent Madoka Kaname and Sayaka can resist falling in love; she'll probably see the best friends fighting over and yielding to each other.

Three people are already enough. What will we do if two more come? One bed can't fit so many people.

Besides... she is also possessive. Don't be fooled by her friendly attitude towards Sakura Kyoko and lack of hostility towards Akemi Homura. That's entirely because of Shiraha. She can't live without Shiraha-kun and doesn't want to leave, so she has no choice but to compromise for the time being.

The addition of new magical girls... is undoubtedly not a good thing for her, but there's nothing she can do to stop them.

What's meant to happen will happen, and all she can do is prepare in advance.

Filled with worry about the future, Mami Tomoe returned to the classroom with a heavy heart to prepare for class.

Shortly after they left, the infirmary welcomed another familiar guest.

Homura Akemi sat on the desk, her legs crossed, her black high heels gently touching the chest of Shiraha, who was sitting in the chair in front of her.

Bai Yu looked up helplessly at Xiao Meiyan, the tip of her black high heels grinding lightly against his chest. He reached out and grasped the girl's slender ankle, finding it icy cold to the touch.

"Little Flame, this pose..."

He only needed to lower his head slightly, or the girl slightly raise her leg, and the scenery inside would be completely visible, not to mention the impact of those beautiful legs up close. They were slender yet had an excellent feel to them, and the tender flesh on the thighs was incredibly soft and bouncy, like jelly when gently pinched.

He felt he could play with those legs for a year if he could.

When Bai Yu grasped her ankle and even gently stroked her calf with his restless hands, Homura Akemi only trembled slightly and blushed slightly before quickly returning to normal and letting him do as he pleased.

She leaned forward slightly, her violet eyes gleaming coldly in the shadows. "You want Madoka Kaname and the other girl to become magical girls?"

"It's still uncertain, and it depends on their own decision," Bai Yu explained.

"You should know the truth about the witch, right? Are you sure you still want to do that?"

The shoe suddenly applied more force, and Bai Yu let out a muffled groan.

“This time it’s different. I’m completely confident that the problem of magical girls is no longer a threat, and witches will not continue to exist in the future. Everyone will be free.”

The power of the gods is omnipotent; he has glimpsed a sliver of truth from that gap.

After becoming a god, he will have the power to control the entire universe, and eliminating the threat of magical girls will not be difficult for him. In fact, the Kyubey race will become the seeds of hope he spreads among humans.

As for how to solve the problem of 'entropy'... that's not a problem he needs to consider now, or rather, he doesn't need to consider it at all. He will leave here after the simulation ends, and human lifespan is limited. He won't live to see 'entropy' increase to the point where the universe is destroyed by 'heat death'.

"So you're planning to abandon us?"

Homura Akemi's long hair fell down, brushing against his cheek, carrying a faint scent of gunpowder.

"That's not what I meant. How could I possibly abandon you all?"

Homura Akemi remained silent, her lips pressed tightly together as she stared at Shiraha in silence.

fraud.

She knew perfectly well that Bai Yu was most likely not from this planet, or even from this world.

She went through hundreds of cycles, but she couldn't find Bai Yu's figure in all of them. However, she could glimpse a Bai Yu who was completely different from before in some of them.

Through some probing, she discovered that something was amiss.

The white feather called 'human' has disappeared. It was he who was a 'god', whose human side was active in this world, like an empty shell.

And she was, of course, quite clear about what he meant by seizing the opportunity—a chance to become a god.

In that realm of the 'gods,' they were like best friends for life, eating and drinking together, casually fighting the monsters that Kyubey had transformed into, helping the suffering people escape their misery, spreading the seeds of hope to them, and thus reaping the power of hope to continue their existence.

But that's not what she wanted. No matter how much that person resembled him, without the control of his soul, he was just an empty shell of his original body.

God loves the world, but what she wants is for God to love only her.

Becoming a god... she's also somewhat interested.

If something can be observed, it can be analyzed; if it can be analyzed, it can be intervened upon and used for one's own benefit.

Among countless timelines, she finally found this perfect one, arriving by his side before he became a god, and then, at the crucial moment, usurping his divine position!

Homura Akemi's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly pulled her leg back and jumped off the table, her skirt drawing a sharp arc in the air.

"You're always like this, gentle to everyone."

Bai Yu stood up and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Jealous?"

Homura Akemi's back stiffened for a moment, then she nudged him with her elbow, "What would you do if I told you?"

Bai Yu groaned as he was pushed, but he didn't let go. Instead, he rested his chin on Akemi Homura's shoulder and breathed on the girl's earlobe. "Then I'll just have to... spend more time with you."

Homura Akemi's ears instantly flushed crimson, but her expression remained stern. A complex emotion flashed in her purple eyes, and her voice was a few decibels lower than usual, "I hope you can keep your word."

"Of course, I like you the most, Xiaoyan."

However, the instant he uttered those words, Homura Akemi suddenly turned around, grabbed Shiraha by the collar, and pushed him to the desk. His waist was pressed against the edge of the desk, and his back was pressed against the desk but still suspended in the air.

Before he could even cry out in pain, his lips were forcefully sealed shut.

It was that familiar taste again, but this time it carried a faint gunpowder flavor. His lips were still bitten, and a faint metallic taste spread in his mouth. Akemi Homura's teeth gently grazed his lower lip. Shiraha subconsciously held her waist, his fingertips touching the taut muscles under her clothes.

"fraud."

Suddenly, Homura Akemi raised her knee and pressed it between his legs, controlling the force perfectly so as not to actually hurt him, yet enough to make him feel a slight threat.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Bai Yu bent over, resting his forehead on Homura Akemi's shoulder. "Homura, you hit too hard..."

Homura Akemi watched him put on an act with a blank expression, ran her fingers through his hair, and gently scratched his scalp. "Your acting has deteriorated."

"Ah? Is there any?"

He wanted to take advantage of her vulnerability to lower her guard, but he was immediately exposed and found out. Did he not remember his acting being that bad?

Homura Akemi didn't answer, but suddenly bit his earlobe.
