I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"I know what kind of person would say that."

Homura Akemi complained silently in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face.

......

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was night.

After dinner, it was still early, so a few of them started chatting in the living room.

"Xiao Zhu, how do you feel about life in the new school? Are you happy?" Bai looked at Xiao Zhu who was eating dessert after dinner.

"That's very good." Xiao Zhu nodded slightly.

"Did you make any new friends?" Bai asked curiously.

"some."

Since Xiao Zhu recovered, Bai arranged for Xiao Zhu to transfer to a nearby school before saying goodbye completely.

As expected, Xiao Zhu adapted quickly.

"But I don't know if Xiaozhu can be considered a friend. That sister is very nice to me and often helps me, even though Xiaozhu helped her first." Xiaozhu raised her head slightly, thinking about what happened in school.

The sister she met on her way to school that day seemed to be feeding kittens on the roadside.

However, after the sister fed the snacks she had on her to a kitten, another one appeared. The two kittens almost fought over the food. Fortunately, she passed by and took out some of her own snacks.

The two should have parted ways at this point, but they met again in school.

Because Mami is a middle school student, she is not in the same school as Nagisa, and Shiro has protected Nagisa, so Nagisa usually goes to school alone.

However, since meeting that sister, Xiao Zhu occasionally has a companion on the way to school.

I heard from that sister that she usually goes to school with her friends, and occasionally goes alone for some reason.

He also said that he would introduce that friend to him if he had the chance.

"If we help each other, we're friends." Bai Qing chuckled.

Although I don’t know who Xiaozhu’s friends are, with Xiaozhu’s personality, she definitely can’t play with those bad guys.

"Then Xiao Zhu, can you bring her home as a guest?" Xiao Zhu's eyes brightened slightly.

She had heard before that friends would visit each other, but due to family reasons, she had never had the opportunity to do so.

Now that everything is getting better, she also wants to try this feeling.

"Sure, when do you plan to arrange it, Xiaozhu?"

"Is it okay in two days?" Xiao Zhu looked at Bai and asked.

Because she didn't know how far her sister's home was from here during normal school hours, if it was far, there might not be enough time after school to get together, so she simply waited until the day off two days later.

One is to ask her in advance if she has time, and the other is that Bai is usually at home on weekends, and Xiao Zhu also wants to introduce her friends to Bai.

Bai thought about it for a while. Nothing special happened during this period. Because of Kamihama, the number of witches in Mitakihara decreased a lot, and Mami gradually became more relaxed. With the help of Nagisa, Mami could make more friends.

There is no need to rush about Homura for now. At least we have to wait until Homura's body fully recovers. Otherwise, if we successfully bring Homura back from reincarnation, but find that she is still lying in the hospital bed, it will be very embarrassing.

And the magical girl Shiro, whom Homura wanted to meet, had also made a decision in her mind.

Madoka and Asuka have been hanging out with Anzu lately and often go to Kamihama. After all, Kazamino City has also been influenced by Kamihama, and there are fewer witches there.

Anzi is still a normal magical girl. If she wants to obtain the Seed of Sorrow, she can only find a witch. There happen to be many witches in Kamihama, and Anzi's strength is not bad either, so she almost lives there.

It seems that Iroha Tamaki from Kamihama has transferred her school from Hoki and is currently living with Yachiyo and the others. Except for school time, she is almost always looking for news about Rumor.

So there won't be any problems there for the time being.

"No problem, I'll prepare it at home by then." Bai nodded in response, then looked aside.

"By the way, Asami, why don't you stay over as well? Since Nagisa's friend is older than her, she might be your future underclassman."

Mami, who was drinking tea, put down the cup in her hand and looked at Bai in confusion.

"Me? Won't that be a problem?"

Nagisa's friends are probably ordinary people, but she is a magical girl.

What if I accidentally reveal something strange? Wouldn’t that scare them?

"It's okay, I'll be there then and I'll be keeping an eye on it."

"Well, that's fine too."

It might be a future junior or something, even if it's not a magical girl, Mami is still looking forward to it.

After all, as a magical girl, she is different from ordinary people. Even if she pays attention to it, she cannot guarantee that she will not be exposed at all times.

As for the consequences of being exposed, the simplest case is that you may be ostracized, and if it is more troublesome, other parties may take action.

Although I am not afraid of them, it will eventually affect my normal life.

After confirming the date to meet Xiaozhu's friend, I thought the remaining two days would be spent peacefully, but an accident happened.

The next morning, Asuka ran to Shiro's room.

"Bai, help!"

Chapter 64: Luck and Misfortune

"?"

Bai reached out to catch Asuka who was rushing towards him, his face full of confusion.

No, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can harm her right now, at least on Earth. Even if Kyubey wants to do something to them, he has his own defensive measures.

So what's going on?

Bai stretched out his hand to support Asuka's shoulders, and looked at Asuka's aggrieved expression with a frown on his face.

"Stop, stop, stop. Stop complaining and tell me what happened. I remember I gave you quite a bit of stuff. Why do you still need help?"

Seeing herself being pushed away, Asuka chuckled and said, "Hey, well, there are indeed quite a lot of things, but this time it's a little different. Those things are useless."

"Huh? Is it so bizarre?" After hearing Asuka's serious description, Bai became curious.

And since Asuka is smiling like that, there shouldn't be any problems.

You have to know that the things I gave them range from isolating cause and effect to refining gold. Is there no way to do this?

"Yeah, that's very strange." Asuka nodded repeatedly.

"tell me the story."

Asuka glanced around the room, then sat directly on Shiro's bed and spoke slowly: "Actually, it's like this..."

Yesterday, the three of them felt a little thirsty while strolling on the street. They originally wanted to go to a beverage store to buy some drinks and take a break, but halfway there they heard about a free stall.

So a few people became curious and went over to check it out.

When we got there, we found out that it was indeed free, it was just plain water.

They thought it was a charity, so they each had a drink.

Unexpectedly, the water tasted like a drink. They were curious and wanted to try it, but were told that each person could only drink one glass per day.

After getting this result, they didn't feel strange. It was acceptable to drink one cup of such a special thing every day.

However, after leaving the stall, strange things began to happen. The moment they left, three pieces of paper floated out of nowhere, and each of them landed one in their hands.

The number twenty-four is written on it.

I originally thought it was someone's prank and didn't take it seriously.

But after a while, a few more fell and the number became twenty-three.

They began to sense that something was wrong, but they didn't understand what it was.

So I found a place to rest and sat there waiting for what might happen next.

Then, as expected, paper appeared again and the number decreased by one again.

There was no one else around, and they had long since left the place where the paper first appeared, but the paper still found them accurately.

After discussing it, they figured out that there might be something wrong with the water they drank before, so they rushed back to the stall to look for it, but the stall and its owner had disappeared.

As if they understood the gist of the matter, the three began to investigate this thing.

However, after investigating for a long time, we found nothing except that this thing fell once every hour, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.

The three of them also guessed what might happen after the number reached zero, but because they still had plenty of time, they did not plan to seek help.

Unfortunately, until now, even though the three of them had not slept all night, they still had nothing to show for it except for having more papers around them.

Even if we used the free stuff, such as targeted search and scent tracking, it was useless. The paper seemed to appear out of thin air and the source could not be found at all.

Although they were not afraid of any danger, they decided to tell Bai about it in case of any accidents.

That's why Asuka came running here early in the morning.

After hearing Asuka's explanation, Bai's expression gradually became strange.

He remembered the rumor he had read in Yin Meng's book—

Unfortunate Shimizu.

After drinking the glass of water for the first time, it can actually bring people some small luck, such as avoiding a nail while walking on the side of the road without paying attention, or winning two yuan by buying a scratch-off lottery ticket.

But it will not affect the general direction of things, just like the three of them looking for the source of this matter, it has no effect at all.

After twenty-four hours, the luck accumulated during this period will instantly turn into misfortune and fall on the person involved.

At that time, there was no such thing as caring about small things and ignoring big things. During the unfortunate period, no matter what you did, you would be unfortunate, just like you had the physique of a girl-chasing person.

After finishing her story, Asuka noticed Shiro's change and couldn't help but complain:

"Huh? What's with that expression on your face, Shiro? I know we're unlucky, but there's no need to show that expression, right?"

"Or... do you know what the situation is?"

As she spoke, Asuka's eyes suddenly brightened.

It's such a painful feeling to not know anything.

If Bai already knew, then that meant they were fine.

However, Bai said she was overthinking it.

"I do understand. Your situation is not a big deal. You will just be unlucky for a while after the countdown reaches zero." Bai showed a gloating expression on his face.

It was just bad luck, and the threat to them was almost non-existent.

Even if the witches of Kamijuma gathered together, there would be no problem. The things given to them for free were enough to deal with it. Apart from that, it was not a problem for them. At most, it would be a little embarrassing.

For example, if someone falls on the flat ground while walking on the road, Bai would be quite happy to see this kind of scene.

And Bai didn't plan to release them from this state, he just treated it as a lesson.

There is no free lunch in the world.

These are things they should have understood when they became magical girls.

"It's just bad luck? That's okay." Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he looked up and was about to say something, he saw Bai's gloating expression, and instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Wait, how bad can this bad luck be?"

Bai's expression suddenly became serious, and then he began to laugh inexplicably.

"To what extent? Well, for example, with your current physical condition, you could fall flat on the ground while walking on the road."

"..."

The silence was deafening.

Asuka thought about the situation for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Bai's sleeve. Her expression instantly turned miserable: "Bai, you will definitely help us, right?"

"Sorry, no, it will, oh."

"Why?!" Asuka looked at him in disbelief.

"Who told you not to be careful? How can free things be good? And even if you're unlucky, your bodies won't hurt. Just take it as a lesson."

Bai shrugged, looking nonchalant.
