I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"So you know Mami, and that's why she asked you to ask me for help?"

"No, I came to find you myself. She doesn't know about this yet."

"...I understand, I will go."

After thinking about it for a while, Sakura Kyoko agreed to it.

After all, he has friends there, and although he has broken ties with Mami Tomoe, he still doesn't want anything to happen to her.

If things become impossible, she will simply take Mami Tomoe and run away.

"That's good. Remember to be on time."

"Tch... You don't need to tell me."

"Then I'll leave first."

Li Xiao patted her head; this was a habit she had developed from being her adoptive father in a previous life.

"What are you doing, you bastard!"

Sakura Kyoko paused for a moment, then glared at him with a snarl.

"I'll be going now, see you next time!"

Without saying a word, Li Xiao ran away.

"Get back here, you bastard!"

Li Xiao was too fast; Sakura Kyoko couldn't stop him and could only stand there, jumping up and down in frustration.

However, after she was angry for a while, her expression suddenly calmed down, and she touched the spot where Li Xiao's hand had been placed with a slightly flushed face.

"That guy..."

She had just felt a fatherly warmth from Li Xiao, and that was the real reason for her shame and anger.

Li Xiao, who had left, reunited with Akemi Homura.

The two sat around a small round table, discussing matters.

"So the initial objective has been achieved?"

"That's right, you'll have to go and fight Witch's Night with them again in about ten days."

"We're going to lose to Witch's Night then, right?"

Homura Akemi checked again. Although she really wanted to win Witch Night on her own, she also knew it would be difficult.

"Don't make a big fuss. Go up and fight a few times with me, and then I'll arrange for you to leave."

Actually, the four of you combined already have a certain chance of winning against Witch Night, but if you deliberately drag the team down this time, you definitely won't win.

I wonder if Cupid will add more money at the last minute, since they should have already received my message about gathering you all.

But don't worry, I'll act according to the situation and make sure nothing happens to you.

"I understand."

Homura Akemi said she understood. She'd still throw the match, it's just that the other three might feel bad about it.

"Then I'll go find some more weapons."

With that, she got up and left, intending to take another look at the U.S. military armory.

Li Xiao felt that she had a phobia of insufficient firepower, and would go to the armory from time to time.

The key point is that those people didn't even bother to look for the missing weapons, which he found hard to understand.

[Host, are you really sure you want to do this?]

When Homura Akemi left, and Li Xiao was alone again, the system suddenly spoke up and asked him a question.

Is there a problem?

[I understand you want Xiaoyuan to become a god. But the success rate of the subsequent solutions hasn't improved much.]

'I remember you were able to read my mind, weren't you?'

I generally don't try to read your mind.

'You certainly have principles.'

No, I'm simply worried about being corrupted by your ideas.

"You!"

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh and curse.

[Ha~ Did I say something wrong? Although I rarely speak, I've seen everything you've done over the past five years.]

Li Xiao: "......"

Let's get back to our previous topic.

He decisively changed the subject, knowing that if they continued to delve deeper, some serious issues would be uncovered.

That works too, so how do you plan to ensure success?

'I'm not alone, Xiaoyan is here too, isn't she?'

"I think I understand, but are you prepared to bear the consequences of doing this?"

'What's the meaning? ’

【hehe......】

The system just smiled and then stopped talking.

'Tch, playing the riddle-maker again.'

Li Xiao rolled her eyes, speechless.

……

He and Homura Akemi didn't get involved in what happened next; they just watched from the shadows as Kyubey would occasionally appear and tempt Madoka.

Since the last time, Sayaka has become less interested in finding the witch, and Mami Tomoe's mental state is also not very good.

Therefore, he or Homura Akemi usually dealt with the witches that appeared around them.

Unable to find an opportunity, Cupid ultimately chose to go into hiding.

Until the Witch's Night, which Li Xiao had single-handedly defeated 69 times, reappeared.

"This Witch's Night... something seems off."

Li Xiao could tell at a glance that the witch who had not yet revealed her form was much stronger than the ones he had fought before.

"It must have been Kewpie who made it."

Homura Akemi also felt a lot of pressure. Although she didn't know why, it was always right to blame Kyubey.

"Looks like you don't need to act anymore, you guys were never going to win this time anyway."

Homura Akemi glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "I took a nuclear bomb."

Li Xiao: "?"

He looked at Homura Akemi with a face full of questions.

"No, what are you doing taking those things? You won't need them this time, will you? You're not going to detonate them in Mitakihara, are you?"

Although nuclear bombs and the Witch's Night are nothing to him now, they are still very dangerous to ordinary people.

"I just happened to see it, so I grabbed it."

Li Xiao glanced at the witch in the sky and compared her to her in his mind.

"Even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill them."

"Ok."

Homura Akemi sighed, seemingly with a hint of regret.

No, you really want to detonate it?

Li Xiao looked at her with a speechless expression. Even if he could cover it up, he shouldn't just leave that kind of thing lying around, right?

"Li Xiao!"

Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, and Sayaka, all dressed as magical girls, flew from one side to Li Xiao's front.

Sakura Kyoko stared at the Witch's Night in the sky, gripping her spear tightly, and shouted sternly at Li Xiao:

"What are you still standing here for? Get out of there and hide!"

Although she knew Li Xiao was fast, she didn't know his strength, so she wanted him to go to safety as soon as possible.

Mami Tomoe and Sayaka also looked up at the sky with tense expressions.

"That's right, Li Xiao and Xiao should go and take refuge first!"

Sayaka didn't know why Homura Akemi was there, but she didn't ignore her.

"I'm a magical girl too, I can help you."

As Homura Akemi spoke, she also transformed into a magical girl and raised her small round shield as a gesture.

Mami Tomoe's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"That's great! We were just worried about not having enough fighting strength. This is a huge help! With so many of us together this time, we'll definitely be fine!"

Li Xiao ignored her promise and left with a smile.

"Then I'll go find somewhere to hide. Good luck to you guys!"

The four nodded in unison, and then rushed towards the Witch's Night in the sky.

"Now let me see where Xiaoyuan is."

Li Xiao sensed the wind and discovered that Kyubey was leading Xiao Yuan this way, and it seemed that he had persuaded Xiao Yuan.

He roughly estimated that Xiaoyuan's arrival time was roughly the same time the others were defeated.

So he found a good spot to crouch and started watching their fight.
