I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Okay, now you can go back and tell them the good news. Unfortunately, I have something else to do here, so I can't go to see what happens to you."

Bai patted Asuka's shoulder and walked out of the room with a look of regret on his face.

"Haha...good news..." Asuka's face gradually collapsed in the room.

Of course, it is impossible to say that we cannot see what happened to them. It is a rare natural opportunity like this, so how can we not record it?

But he was not lying when he said something was wrong, because he found that not only Asuka and the other three drank the water, but also another duo.

Chapter 65: A down-and-out girl?

In the Crescent Moon Villa.

"Yachiyo, still no news?" Huan Caiyu asked softly, with a rare look of worry on her face.

Yachiyo calmly denied: "No."

Oh, I don't think I really have to wait until the countdown ends.' Tamaki Iroha sighed inwardly.

Yesterday, while investigating rumors on the street, she stumbled upon a mobile water station that offered free water. Curious, Iroha Tamaki went to ask about it.

After learning that it was indeed free, she couldn't help but have a drink, and a blonde girl happened to come here.

The girl with yellow hair looked carefree. After drinking a glass of water, she thought it tasted very good and wanted to have another one. However, since the stall owner said that each person could only have one glass per day, and with Huan Caiyu's dissuasion, the girl gave up the idea of ​​having another glass.

After taking a short break after drinking some water, Huan Caiyu continued to investigate the rumors. However, just as she left the mobile stall, a piece of paper suddenly appeared on her face, floating from nowhere.

It says twenty-four.

Huan Caiyu didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just someone's prank. She collected the paper and waited to throw it into the trash can when she passed by.

However, because I was investigating so seriously, I gradually forgot about throwing away the garbage until the next piece of paper with the number 23 written on it floated in front of my face again.

"Eh? Why is there another one?" Huan Caiyu looked at the paper in confusion, then took out the first one and put them together for comparison.

When she discovered that the two pieces of paper were made of exactly the same material, she felt a little uneasy.

As expected, with every passing hour, a piece of paper would appear and the countdown would become shorter and shorter.

So she wondered if she had become involved in some rumor and was influenced by it.

But other than the constant appearance of these papers with countdowns, nothing happened.

In desperation, she had to suspend today's investigation and return to the villa to wait for Yachiyo to come back.

Maybe Yachiyo knew something.

Unfortunately, after hearing what Tamaki Iroha had described, Yachiyo still had no idea what the rumor was, and she hadn't heard anything similar recently.

Seeing that the countdown still had a long time to go and it was getting late, the two gave up the idea of ​​going out to investigate.

However, the next morning, when Huan Caiyu saw the pieces of paper with numbers on them next to her pillow, she could no longer feel at ease.

"Don't worry. Since it's probably just a rumor, there must be a way for it to spread. And this kind of thing usually spreads in crowded places. We can go to the school here today and ask around. Maybe there will be some clues."

Yachiyo's expression was calm, which somewhat soothed Tamaki Iroha's slightly anxious mood.

"School... Yeah, I see. Let's go now." Tamaki Iroha pondered Yachiyo's words, a smile returning to her face. Hard work pays off. After a morning of diligent research, they finally uncovered the rumor.

It seems to be called 'Unfortunate Water'. When someone drinks it, a timer will start. After 24 hours, something unfortunate will happen to the person who drank the water.

But I don't know what the misfortune is.

Tamaki Iroha walked down the street with her head lowered, pondering the origin of this rumor and how to debunk it.

Misfortune or something like that can still be scary without a specific description.

Everyone has something that they care about. If misfortune occurs to oneself and cannot be achieved, it is very likely that misfortune will befall the thing that one cares about. At least that situation would be considered misfortune for oneself.

Therefore, Huan Caiyu cares a lot about this so-called "misfortune". For her, it doesn't matter if she lacks something, but if it affects her family, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Worse still, if this 'misfortune' caused her to forget her sister, whom she had finally remembered, it would be unacceptable to her, no matter how kind her personality was. So, this had to be resolved quickly!

"Ouch!" someone exclaimed, and Iroha Tamaki's attention was drawn to the scene in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice you." Huan Caiyu quickly waved her hands to apologize, but when she looked up, she found that the person in front of her was actually an "acquaintance".

"You are... the person who drank that glass of water yesterday..."

"What? Why don't you pay attention to the road when walking..." The blonde girl rubbed her cheek that was hit and complained unconsciously.

She didn't look at the road though.

"Huh? It's you?" The yellow-haired girl raised her head and saw the 'familiar' pink-haired girl, recalling what happened yesterday.

This guy was next to me at the time...that glass of water was pretty tasty, I wonder if it's still available today?

And when she wanted to have another cup, the stall owner said no, which would have been fine, but she didn't expect him to stop her.

Although she knew that stopping her was the right thing to do, she was still upset and took note of Tamaki Iroha.

"Yes, my name is Huan Caiyu, hello..." Huan Caiyu happily introduced herself when she met someone familiar.

"My name is Fuyuki Felicia."

"Hello, Felicia."

Tamaki Iroha called out in a lowercase letter, trying to bring the two closer, but Felicia didn't seem to appreciate it.

"I'm not very good."

Felicia put her hands on her hips, her lower ponytails swaying slightly, with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

"Eh?"

"Shouldn't you give me some compensation for bumping into me?" Felicia stretched out an arm and waved it in front of Huan Caiyu, like a bad guy bullying an honest person.

"As for compensation, I don't have anything to offer," Tamaki Iroha thought in distress.

Although she is a magical girl, the pocket money her parents give her is limited. If she compensates her, her living expenses will not be enough.

But while she was still thinking about what to compensate, Felicia on the other side was already a little impatient.

"Hey, what are you hesitating about? Could it be..." Felicia said as she looked at Iroha Tamaki.

It was a very ordinary school uniform, no jewelry, and probably no so-called luxury goods.

"Tsk, he's also a poor fellow."

"Oh, forget it, just go." Felicia waved her hand and stopped stopping her.

But Huan Caiyu didn't leave. Instead, she looked at him cautiously: "How about I treat you to a meal?"

Although she didn't have a lot of money, she could still afford to treat someone to a meal, and it was almost noon.

"Eat? Really?!" Felicia suddenly became excited.

"Yeah, yes, yes." Huan Caiyu looked at Felicia who suddenly became happy, and had no idea what was going on.

But he still took Felicia to Tsuruno's restaurant.

"She was also the one who drank the glass of water. Perhaps we can find out more by talking to her?"

"Ah, that's great! I didn't expect to get another free meal today. I must have a good meal this time."

The two of them walked together, each with their own thoughts.

Chapter 66: Yachiyo is under control

On the other side, Bai found Yachiyo alone.

Having just come out of the crowd of students nearby, Yachiyo felt a little tired, but fortunately she had heard the rumor and could go directly to find Iroha Tamaki later.

As for why they didn't use their cell phones to contact each other, that could be attributed to the fact that Iroha Tamaki was an electronics idiot.

The contacts in Iroha Tamaki's phone were added by them using her phone.

And even if she called, she might not be able to find her location on the map, so it would be better to find her directly based on the traces of magic.

After leaving the school gate, I came to a nearby park, found a bench to sit on, leaned back slightly, and closed my eyes.

After a moment, a breeze blew, brushing against Yachiyo's soft body.

Then Yachiyo suddenly opened her eyes, and all the fatigue in her body just now completely disappeared.

She had never seen a magical girl with this ability before.

If it weren't for the magical girl...

Yachiyo looked to her side and saw Bai leaning on the stool in the same way she had done before, holding a cup of what looked like water in her hand, which she had gotten from somewhere.

“…Why are you here?” After a moment of silence, Yachiyo asked what was in his mind.

In her impression, every time Bai appeared, it was related to rumors, and they were all very dangerous. Could it be the same this time?

Iroha is in danger?!

I have to say that Yachiyo is very smart. Every time Bai appears, it is almost always because of something related to Yao, but it is not always a dangerous situation.

At least even if there was no rumor, Bai would still try his best to go to Sanae Villa to see Sanae every day.

For example, this time...

"Oh, isn't this an interesting discovery? How could I miss it?" Bai Qing chuckled.

'Something interesting?'

Yachiyo's face darkened, as if she was recalling some bad memories.

"Wait, if it's just interesting..." Yachiyo's eyes flickered, she wanted to confirm a guess.

"Is Iroha safe?"

"No way." Bai chuckled and secretly sighed that Yachiyo was indeed smart.

Although he often did things that embarrassed them, no matter what, he would at least not lie to them. Most of the time, he would deliberately tell only part of the truth and let them fill in the blanks.

Therefore, if it is a simple and crude question, it is actually difficult for Bai to induce them to think in the wrong way.

Moreover, not lying is only directed at those who can barely be called friends. If they are enemies, then Bai will not care about any morality.

Yachiyo heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Bai's affirmation.

Since Caiyu is not in danger, there is no need for me to rush over there, or can I not go?

"There's someone you want to see this time."

Yachiyo's face froze and she fell silent for a moment.

"..."

Well, it seems that I have to go. I hope it won’t be fake like last time.

"Can you give me an address?"

"Hmm?" Shiro was surprised to see Yachiyo's calm demeanor. Could it be that after realizing the danger was over, she had started to act like a jerk? She actually asked him for something?

"Iroha is with Tsuruno now."

"Yeah." Yachiyo nodded. She just asked casually and didn't expect to get the answer from Bai.

Unexpectedly, he revealed a little bit. Although it was not the address I wanted, it was enough.

Since she knew almost everything she needed to know, Yachiyo didn't hesitate any longer and headed for Tsuruno. If she went too late, she might not even be able to see them.

Watching Yachiyo leave, Bai smiled lightly and drank the water in his hand.

But in a moment, a piece of paper with the number twenty-four written on it appeared in front of Bai.

Bai took the paper in his hand and looked at it for a while. Finally, the corners of his mouth curled up and he said softly: "Oh, unfortunate..."

Then the figure on the bench disappeared, the paper fell to the ground, and the numbers on the paper had changed without me noticing.

The original twenty-four has disappeared, replaced by three capital nines.

……

On the other side, Huan Caiyu brought Felicia to the Chinese Wanwansui Hotel.

Although the food here tastes very special, the discounts and portions are very generous. Since Huan Caiyu doesn't have much savings, she naturally chooses this place.

"Tsuruno, please make two servings of rice." Iroha Tamaki raised her voice a little and said to Tsuruno who was busy in the kitchen.

"Okay." Tsuruno responded, then started to work with some doubts.
