Sakura Emma, ​​I'm going to control you fiercely!

"Although that wreckage was quite strong, it's gone now. As long as the wreckage already gathered around Maple Syrup Academy is safe, it won't hinder the plan."

The fact that he can still feel the witch's kiss means that he still has a chance to catch "that girl" again.

She released flower petals and slowly walked forward.

While taking a leisurely stroll, one can also enjoy the lingering charm of the river view.

Suddenly, the figure froze in mid-step.

The patches of color on her body gathered together, transforming her into the appearance of a beautiful young girl.

Why... were all the ruins near Maple Syrup Girls' Academy cleared out?

Moreover, it seems to have disappeared, centered around the college's music hall...

She clenched her fists, her lips trembling with anger.

Her face turned pale and then flushed.

It's like a hoarder player painstakingly saving up resources for the guaranteed pulls over half a year, only to have them all used up by a visiting kid who pulls all the three-star trash from the permanent pool!

After a moment, a slightly twitching, mischievous smile finally appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"They don't appreciate the fruits of other people's labor..."

Another petal drifted from her body, floating in the city's evening sky, and finally landed in an underground parking lot at an abandoned construction site on the edge of Banqiao District.

Inside, several remains are sleeping.

Among them, there is even a [Blue Level].

"As long as the warehouse is safe... the plan hasn't failed."

On the riverbank, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

The underground parking lot of the abandoned construction site—which is also the "warehouse"—is equipped with a meticulously prepared maze magic that can disorient anyone.

However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"I just can't swallow this insult..."

……

……

"See you next time, big brother!"

Watching Sakura raise her hand and sway goodbye, Yang Wen also waved lightly and smiled faintly.

Yang Wen only lowered his hand after the girl's figure disappeared.

Today is still a day without H-CG.

Yang Wen sighed.

Although I feel a little sorry for the innocent Sakura, but...

Isn't the point of playing cute visual novels to "get into the LLO" (a Chinese slang term for a specific type of game)?

He can choose not to watch H-CG, or even skip it... but you can't be without it! And it's best to give him a hint of it early on.

This event is already documented in "Senren Banka": the "Girl Taking a Bath" CG in the early part of the story.

The all-ages-friendly chat between Yang Wen and Sakura even made Yang Wen wonder if he had forgotten to apply the patch.

As always, he leaned back in his chair. Yang Wenben planned to snap his fingers to summon a cup of black tea to calm his mood.

Belatedly realizing it... he looked around.

"That's strange, why did Sakura's scene end?"

Normally, Yang Wen would disappear within a minute of Sakura's departure.

But at this moment, he was still in the dream.

At this moment, a pop-up window with a Yuzusoft UI style appeared, accompanied by the voice of "Yoshino Asatake".

[Completed the main game's story events; Hannah Tohno's affection level has reached the required level. DLC is now available. Do you wish to continue playing?]

【whether】

Yang Wen looked at the pop-up window and nodded silently.

Sure enough, the sleep aid he was wearing was an extension of the game "Judgment".

The game's developers are something else... they actually want players to play their game even in their dreams.

Such grand ambitions pleased Yang Wen greatly.

Click "Yes".

[Start playing DLC. Interlude: Hannah Tono's Confusion.]

[Completing Hanna Tohno's three interlude storylines will reward you with generous in-game prizes.]

"They're here...!"

Yang Wen sighed inwardly, realizing he hadn't wasted his time grinding Hannah's favorability in the game.

So, since Hannah is here, will Sherry be next?

After all, in the game, these two girls are the ones whose favorability rating I have raised the highest.

squeak-

At that moment, the door in front of Yang Wenzheng opened.

……

……

Splash...

Warm water gushed from the showerhead, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere in the narrow bathroom.

The blonde girl tilted her head back, letting the water droplets slide down her fair and slender swan neck, flowing over her delicate yet gracefully curved youth, and finally disappearing into the bubbles.

Her wet, golden hair clung to her snow-white skin like seaweed, and the moisture, like a light veil, perfectly concealed the overly beautiful youthful scenery.

Hannah Tono applied some shower gel and spread it evenly on her body.

"Um……"

The icy touch instantly made her let out a soft moan of unbearable discomfort.

The tingling sensation from being forced to play the piano amidst monsters and being hit by those strange magical droplets during the day in the music building seemed to linger in her body, and even the rinsing of water couldn't completely wash it away.

Along with this unspeakable heat, her mind was filled with the story about "gods" that Emma had told her at the coffee shop.

Having witnessed so much despair, I became hope myself, to save everyone...

Moreover, according to Emma, ​​this deity was very approachable and never referred to himself as a god. Clearly, he didn't want the young women to see him as someone of high status, but rather preferred to be treated as an equal.

He can manipulate time at will. Stillness, restart, rewind—all are at His command.

It's like a fairy tale, or a magical girl story for children, full of innocent and whimsical fantasies. And it's a magical girl deity, which should make it seem unreal to Hannah, an ordinary person.

Why did I feel an absurd sense of certainty that "this is the truth" after hearing that outrageous fairy tale?

Sizzle—

She turned off the shower, reached for a towel to wrap herself in, and dried her water-covered hair.

She put on her nightgown and then walked out of the bathroom.

In her rented room where she lived alone, a hairdryer was whirring beside her ear.

The chaotic sounds made the pent-up frustration in her chest even more intense.

why?

I received a "satisfactory" answer from Emma, ​​so why am I so agitated now?

I'm so restless I just want to sleep. It's like I can only find the real answer in a dream.

Not long after, Hannah pondered these thoughts. Gazing at the now-off incandescent light bulb, she slowly closed her eyes.

"..."

In outer space, there is a small, out-of-the-way room.

Hannah stood in front of the small room.

She stared at the door, blinked, and the hazy memories in her mind gradually began to take shape:

The first incident at the music hall, involving the young man who helped Emma become a magical girl and saved her.

The second concert hall incident—which just happened today: that young man has reappeared.

Similarly, he saved Hannah again.

"hiss……"

A slight headache made Hannah droop her head.

A name that seemed to belong to that young man came to mind:

【Yang】

The conversation I had with Emma at the dessert shop came back to mind!

Hidden memories exploded in my mind like a burst dam:

The wreckage of a spinning wheel in the music hall; the wreckage of a violin; "To help Hannah become a magical girl"; the god of magical girls; Emma's transformation; the law of cycles...

"To help Hannah become a magical girl?!" she exclaimed suddenly.

The pain completely disappeared, and Hannah remembered everything.

She finally understood the true identity of the young man who had saved her twice:

The Law of Cycles... is also the god of magical girls.

Lost in thought, Hannah looked at the doorknob and bit her lower lip lightly...

This wasn't the first time Hannah had a lucid dream.

But this time, the content of the lucid dream was different:

This door is proof.

Hannah had a premonition: behind the door lay the Principle of the Circle.

After a brief hesitation, she reached for the doorknob...

Volume 1: Author's Note on Launching the Book

It will be available tomorrow, and there will be an update of around 2 words around noon. I hope everyone will support it!

We'll see how things go later and decide whether to offer a bounty. (°ー°)

Word count supplemented.

Book 1: Chapter 51 Yang Wen and Hannah

squeak-

When Hannah pushed open the door, she saw an ordinary little room.

Tables and chairs, a few magical girl paintings, and a wall clock are enough to summarize the room's decor.

Amidst this unremarkable scene sat a handsome young man.

He leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, with a cup of coffee on the table in front of him.

Hannah immediately realized that the person in front of her was undoubtedly the "god" Emma had mentioned—the Law of the Circle!

Just as Emma said, He was far from the arrogant deity Hannah had imagined. He was looking at Hannah with a peaceful gaze.

Whether it was Hannah's imagination or not, there seemed to be some warmth in His eyes.

At this moment, the deity named [yang] spoke.

"You've arrived."

Hannah was stunned for a moment, and then realized with surprise: sure enough, it was Yang who had brought her to this room.

And I've been standing at the door for two minutes now, without saying a single word!
