After a long silence, Cupid said, "One is a drug dealer, and the other is a gang leader."

"........"

Chen Nan lowered her head:

"You said before that guy also has magical powers, how come that's possible?"

"That person must have obtained something that the magical girl lost, which is why he is able to use magic."

"Can someone who isn't a girl use magic?"

"It depends on the specific circumstances."

"Then...why did the police arrest me before?"

"Although the police are righteous, they are essentially an institution that maintains order."

"It's probably because they judged you to possess power and pose a threat to order. Also, perhaps you've injured too many people."

"I wouldn't use this power for bad things... Besides, it's a necessary condition for activating the ability. Is there a problem with punishing the crimes of bad people?"

Chen Nan seemed to be defending herself when she looked up at the starry sky above.

After a long while, Chen Nan finally lowered her head and asked:

"Khubi, from the perspective of human society, do you think what I did was wrong?"

Cupid paused for a moment, then replied:

I cannot answer your question.

"However, I am absolutely certain of one thing... there is nothing wrong with having a yearning for beauty."

"Yes, isn't it right to yearn for a better life?"

Looking at the city in front of her, Chen Nan smiled.

"That statement seems to make a lot of sense."

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Nan took Qiu Bi back to the orphanage.

Although she usually moves around using a physical vehicle, Chen Nan's physical abilities have improved significantly since she made a contract with Kyubey and became a magical girl.

Not only has his frail body, weakened by congenital heart disease, recovered, but his physical condition has also greatly improved.

She found a low wall without surveillance cameras and climbed over it.

She has been doing this for the past few days.

Because it was a private room, and to avoid disturbing her rest, Li Yinghong and Huang Yue would not come to check on her.

Chen Nan secretly returned to the dormitory building. The light was still on in the room at the very end; that was Dean Li Yinghong's room.

Chen Nan slowed her pace, lowered her head slightly, and prepared to pass through. From the height of the windowsill, she couldn't be seen from here.

But just then, a low cough came from inside the room.

Seemingly afraid that the coughing would disturb the sleeping child, the person making the sound covered their mouth with their hand and lowered their voice.

"Dean, are you alright?"

Another sound came from inside the room, coming closer and closer; it must have come from the outside corridor.

"It's Yue, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I just prepared the information and belongings for the child who's coming tomorrow."

"I see... That child is indeed very pitiful, and the welcoming ceremony really needs to be prepared well."

"But now that you're done with your work, you should go and get some rest. Don't overwork yourself."

"I think it's you who's working so hard every day."

"Hehe... What's this? It's just that I'm getting old and my body isn't what it used to be."

Did you take your medicine today?

"You've eaten, don't worry."

Chen Nan stopped and stood by the wall, silently listening to the conversation between Dean Li Yinghong and caregiver Huang Yue inside the room.

She knew that the headmistress was in poor health and always needed to take medicine.

"Do you still have that medicine? Should we buy some more?"

"They're almost gone, let's go buy some in a few days..."

A sigh came from inside the room:

"At my age, I still have to spend so much money on medicine. I don't know if it's worth it for my old bones. What a nuisance..."

"If you cause trouble, there will be no good people left in this world. Of course, the longer a good person remains, the better..."

"Your window doesn't seem to be closed properly..." Huang Yue's voice came from behind.

Hearing footsteps approaching her, Chen Nan hurriedly and hastily left the windowsill.

Chen Nan's room is on the second floor of the dormitory building on the other side. There is a tree in front of her window, which is easy to climb.

After returning to her room, Chen Nan took off her magical girl costume, changed into her pajamas, and sat on the bed.

Thinking about what had happened today, she murmured, "Good people...bad people..."

Looking down at the gem in her hand, Chen Nan suddenly frowned.

The bright yellow amber gemstone seemed to have become much duller, as if a layer of dust had been covering it, which could not be wiped off no matter how hard it was wiped.

"Chubi, what's going on?"

As Chen Nan called softly, a white figure instantly appeared on the windowsill.

It took a step and jumped onto the bedside table next to Chen Nan.

"It's just a sign of mana depletion, nothing unusual..."

“Speaking of which, little girl, I’ve discovered a criminal.”

"Let's deal with him tomorrow!"

"What kind of criminal?"

“Unlike the petty thieves and thugs before, this guy is a counterfeit drug dealer.”

"There is no doubt that he is guilty."

Hearing what Qiu Bi said, Chen Nan hesitated.

After a moment, Chen Nan finally spoke:

"Let's skip tomorrow."

"I feel very tired and want to rest for a day."

"Even magical girls should take a day off when appropriate."

Cupid: "..."

Those eyes, like red gemstones, were fixed on Chen Nan, who was still playing with the gemstone in her hand and did not notice Qiu Bi's gaze.

After a moment, Cupid nodded and spoke in his still soft, sweet voice:

"Indeed, taking a holiday is a virtue."

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Undercurrent of Despair is Surgeing (Two-in-One)

Children's wishes are the most beautiful, their world is the most innocent, and their emotions are the purest.

The naive girl was confused because of what happened last night, but she didn't know that she had become the center of a power struggle between two "abnormal" people in the city.

Although one side appears harmless, they have long harbored the intention to push the girl into a dark and desperate abyss.

One side is disguised as a 'bad guy,' but their goal is to find the root of this anomaly before the girl falls into the abyss.

In short, after feeling confused and troubled, Chen Nan decided to take a day off to separate magic and girlhood.

.......

After getting up and washing up in the morning, the children gather in the canteen next to the dormitory building to prepare for breakfast. This is the beginning of a peaceful day at Blue Sky Orphanage.

However, today is somewhat unusual.

After the middle-aged, portly man in charge of the orphanage's meals pushed the food cart into the canteen, Li Yinghong didn't immediately let the children get their food. Instead, she clapped her hands, signaling the children to look at her.

The cafeteria, which had been filled with the chatter of children, fell silent as all the children looked at the headmaster.

"Today is an extraordinary day...our family is welcoming a new member."

After saying that, Li Yinghong looked towards the entrance of the cafeteria and waved in that direction.

"Come in quickly..."

Caregiver Huang Yue brought in a girl.

The girl was wearing a slightly oversized graffiti T-shirt and athletic shorts. She had short, choppy black hair, and her bangs were a little damp, probably because she had just washed up. Below that was a pretty face.

But the girl had a stern face, as if she was unwilling. She only came to Li Yinghong's side after being led by Huang Yue's hand, facing the children at the dining table below who were full of curiosity.

Chen Nan's seat was at the very back of the long table.

Sitting in her seat, she wasn't surprised to see the girl Huang Yue had brought in.

Last night, when she sneaked back to the orphanage from outside, she passed by Li Yinghong's room and eavesdropped for a while.

From Li Yinghong and Huang Yue's conversation, she also knew that a newcomer would be sent over today.

Chen Nan was only slightly surprised.

Because of the girl's height and build, she was clearly older than the rest of the group.

Chen Nan is the oldest among the dozen or so children at the Blue Sky Orphanage, and also the only girl. All the children in the orphanage call her Sister Nannan.

After the girl came to her side, Li Hongying spoke:

"Come on, Xiao Huo, introduce yourself to everyone."

She placed her hand on the girl's shoulder, her face full of encouragement.
