I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Why two? Has Iroha's appetite increased again?"

No one responded to Tsuruno's thoughts. Before the meal was served, Iroha Tamaki took the initiative to chat with Felicia.

"Um, Felicia, do you know what happened to that glass of water we drank yesterday?"

"I don't know what the water you drank yesterday is? Is there something wrong with it?"

"Hey, didn't you encounter that countdown?" Huan Caiyu looked at her in surprise. Could it be that she was the only one who encountered the countdown?

"Countdown? I think there is. But it doesn't matter. What will happen after the countdown ends?"

Felicia thought about it and realized that she did encounter the countdown, but it had no effect on her, so she naturally didn't care.

"Hey, didn't you hear the rumor? The rumor about the water we drank yesterday."

"Rumors? What are rumors?"

"It's the glass of water we drank yesterday. It's called the Water of Misfortune. Once the countdown ends, something unfortunate will happen to anyone who drinks it."

Iroha Tamaki had thought Felicia would become more serious after what she said, but unexpectedly, she looked even more indifferent.

"Ha, misfortune? I've already experienced the greatest misfortune, so why would I care about these little things?"

"The greatest misfortune? Felicia has already experienced misfortune."

Huan Caiyu's expression was a little conflicted. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Um... Felicia, can you tell me what the greatest misfortune is?"

In the end, Huan Caiyu still asked. If Felicia really had experienced the greatest misfortune, then telling her about it would give her some reference. In case the rumor could not be dispelled in time, she could also take some precautions.

"It's a witch!" Felicia's voice seemed to rise a little.

"Witch?"

"Yes, a witch killed my parents! That's why I became a magical girl. I want to avenge my parents! No witch can survive!"

……

"The witch... killed her parents...?"

Huan Caiyu could clearly see that Felicia was not pretending, but really hated the witch to the core.

This is no wonder. If anyone had the chance, they would definitely not let their enemy go, let alone such a big grudge.

only……

-------------------------------------

Chapter 67: Betrayal from Companions

Was it really a witch who killed her parents?

Although Huan Caiyu instinctively wanted to believe her words, she still had some doubts in her heart.

As magical girls, they naturally know the characteristics of witches. If a human is killed by a witch, he or she will be forgotten by people other than magical girls.

Therefore, Felicia's seemingly reasonable argument actually has a loophole because of this feature.

If she was not a magical girl when her parents were killed, she naturally would not know that her parents were killed by a witch, but if she was already a magical girl at that time, there was no way she could watch her parents being killed by a witch.

After all, if she couldn't defeat the witch, she wouldn't be here.

"Um, I'm so sorry."

Although she still had doubts in her heart, Huan Caiyu apologized immediately.

"Oh, it's okay. It's been a long time since it happened, and I've gotten used to it." Felicia waved her hand, signaling Huan Caiyu not to be so serious.

But then he revealed a ferocious expression: "But I will never let the witch go!"

"Phew, fortunately, fortunately, I almost made things worse."

Iroha Tamaki felt relieved to hear that Felicia wasn't angry with her because of her parents.

"But if what Felicia said is true, then she has been living alone all this time..."

Huan Caiyu seemed to understand why Felicia's attitude was so bad before. If it was for survival, she must get as many useful things as possible.

For example, the compensation he asked for before, and how happy he was now when he was treated to a meal.

But the good thing is that her personality doesn't seem to be that bad, and she won't force money when she finds out she has no money.

In that case...

At this moment, Iroha Tamaki's good nature once again came into play. However, just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Tsuruno's voice.

"Iroha, the meal is ready." Tsuruno walked out of the kitchen with a big plate and a smile on her face.

However, as soon as she walked out, she found that the situation was not what she thought. It was not that Huan Caiyu's appetite had increased, but that there was one more person.

"Hello, my name is Yui Tsuruno. Are you also a friend of Iroha?" Tsuruno placed the rice on the plate in front of the two of them, and asked Felicia curiously.

"Friends? No." Felicia was chewing food, and her voice was a little unclear.

'Hmm? Not yet?'

Tsuruno looked at Iroha Tamaki in surprise, then looked at Felicia again.

"It's okay, you will definitely become friends soon." Tsuruno said confidently.

Tsuruno knew what kind of person Tamaki Iroha was. After all, Tamaki Iroha had been coming to her restaurant to eat every day during this period, and the two of them had already known each other for a long time.

It can be said that as long as they don't have any ill will towards Huan Caiyu, anyone can become her friend, and she will even try to persuade those who have malicious intentions.

So this child named Felicia must have been influenced by Caiyu's kindness.

Felicia didn't reply, but just ate her meal.

Tsuruno could only shift her gaze to Tamaki Iroha.

"Iroha, you've been investigating the rumors lately, haven't you made any progress? If you need any help, feel free to let me know."

"Well, there hasn't been much progress. Instead, I've been entangled in a strange matter recently."

Tamaki Iroha sighed, then explained the matter of 'unfortunate Shimizu' to Tsuruno.

"Unfortunate Shimizu? I haven't heard of that either, hehe..." Although she didn't help much, Tsuruno still chuckled twice, which made Tamaki Iroha feel a little relieved.

After laughing twice, Tsuruno suddenly realized that what Iroha Tamaki was talking about was what happened yesterday.

"Ah! So Iroha, you don't have much time left, do you?"

"It's like this. If we still can't find any clues by the time the deadline comes, then we can only wait for 'misfortune' to come." Huan Caiyu silently lowered her head in response, but then raised it again and smiled.

"But it doesn't matter. Since there's still some time, there's no need to give up."

"Oh! Then let the strongest magical girl Yuhi Tsuruno help you, we will definitely succeed!"

Witnessing Tamaki Iroha's determination, Tsuruno cheered as if ignited.

"Well, thank you Tsuruno." Tamaki Iroha smiled and nodded.

After a short meal, Felicia leaned back in her chair, holding her belly, looking relaxed.

And Huan Caiyu looked at her with some confusion.

"Um, Felicia, are you really not going to investigate this with me? This should have an impact on you too, right?"

"No, it doesn't affect me at all right now, so I don't want to do anything troublesome."

Felicia refused without thinking, but then seemed to think of something and sat up slightly.

"Unless you can pay me."

"Hey! Reward?"

"Yes, actually I'm a mercenary. As long as you pay me, I can do anything."

"So Felicia has always lived like this? But I don't have any extra money."

Just as Huan Caiyu was thinking about what she could get as a reward, a crisp voice came from the door.

"Don't promise her, Iroha."

Yachiyo, dressed in a black and white dress, walked in from the doorway and looked at Felicia with a bad expression.

Before Huan Caiyu could respond, Felicia spoke first with great interest.

"Ah, isn't this Yachiyo? I know you, you're quite famous."

"You're famous too, Fuyuki Felicia."

"Really? I'm famous as a powerful mercenary, right?" Felicia put her hands behind her head with a smug smile on her face.

However, Yachiyo shattered her fantasy without hesitation.

"No, you're famous as a wicked mercenary. The evil deeds you've done are simply too numerous to list."

"What did you say!" Felicia stood up and looked at Yachiyo angrily.

"Whenever she sees a witch, she loses control and charges forward like a wild horse. Although she is indeed powerful, she often puts her companions in danger because of her lack of consideration for them.

And as long as the reward is high, she will often change sides.

Therefore, there are many magical girls who have a bad relationship with her, and there is no benefit in being associated with her."

Thinking of some of the bad deeds of Felicia that she had heard before, Yachiyo's eyes became more hostile. She really didn't want Huan Caiyu to have anything to do with such a person.

"What? Sometimes I do cause some trouble to others, but isn't it all right as long as the witch is eliminated? And as for switching sides at the critical moment, I'm a mercenary, so naturally I'll help whoever pays the most." Felicia didn't seem to realize the problem and continued to argue.

"She loses control the moment she sees the witch, and even switches sides at the last minute. While this is unpleasant, it's perfectly normal for someone like her who lives alone and wants revenge on the witch."

Huan Caiyu recalled the conversation she had with Felicia just now. Even if Felicia was like this, she could still get better.

"Well, Yachiyo, I still want to give it a try..." Tamaki Iroha said softly, but there was no hesitation in her eyes.

"..."

Seeing the determined look in Iroha Tamaki's eyes, Yachiyo could only sigh secretly.

If Iroha didn't have this personality, they probably wouldn't be as familiar with each other as they are now.

"Since you have your own ideas, I won't try to stop you." Yachiyo said helplessly, and then his face became serious again: "But, you must pay attention to your own safety."

"Yeah, I know." Huan Caiyu smiled and nodded.

"Hey, Yachiyo, what do you mean? I wouldn't hurt anyone casually." Felicia on the side was a little dissatisfied. It sounded like Yachiyo was deliberately guarding against her.

Yachiyo glanced at her silently, and what he wanted to say appeared in his eyes.

That's right, I just don't believe you.

This made Felicia feel a little looked down upon.

Huan Caiyu, who was standing by, saw the two of them and quickly intervened to mediate.

"Oh, by the way, why did Yachiyo come to me now? Did you find any clues?"

"And Felicia, I can't afford much money as a reward, but if you're willing, I can cook for you every day as a reward, how about that?"

"Really?! That's great!" Felicia cheered, ignoring the unhappiness brought by Yachiyo.

"Cooking? Can the reward be so cheap?"

Yachiyo looked at Felicia in surprise, as if there was something about her that she didn't quite understand.

"We do have some clues. At least we know that there won't be any danger because of this incident, but the consequences are still uncertain." Although the Baqian representative looked calm, he was constantly complaining in his heart.

That guy Bai always seems to know the reason behind things, but he insists on being a riddler every time. Does being a riddle make him so happy?

But Huan Caiyu's heart was not so calm. For her, it would be a lucky thing if she could find her sister only in danger. But if she forgot her sister again because of this incident, it would be the greatest misfortune.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still had a smile on her face.

"Well, that's good enough. However, to prevent misfortune from actually happening, we should continue investigating. Maybe we can get some news about You."

Yachiyo nodded and said, "Now that you've rested, let's continue on our journey."

"Hey, Yachiyo, don't you need to eat?"

"...I've already eaten on the way here." Yachiyo looked at her expressionlessly. Since she had already learned from Bai that she was at Tsuruno's place, she probably came here to eat at this time. It just so happened that she still had some distance to go, so she bought some portable food on the way to fill her stomach.

"Is that so? Then let's set off quickly. We don't have much time left." Huan Caiyu silently gave up the idea of ​​treating Yachiyo to a meal and hurriedly urged her.

But at this moment, Tsuruno, who had already finished cleaning up in the kitchen, rushed out.
