I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Well~ I'm very angry. Reina is so abominable. She stole my fruit, didn't like my pets, and did so many bad things to me. I'm very angry."

Feng shook his head, speaking angry words but with a gentle smile on his face.

"Well, in that case, how about letting her come in and apologize to you?"

"Eh?!"

Bai smiled lightly, waved his hand, and the barrier enveloped the three people in reality.

......

Outside the boundary.

Several people watched the surrounding scene change, without any worry, but instead felt happy.

"Success!"

Following a cry of surprise from Iroha Tamaki, several people began to put on magical girl costumes.

What appeared before them were several long stairs, the top of which seemed to connect to the sky. With their abilities as magical girls, they could only see the presence of a human figure at the highest point.

"Up there!" Yachiyo was the first to notice the difference at height and shouted.

"Feng! I'm here to save you!" Lingna picked up the trident in her hand and rushed forward first.

Seeing this, Taozi and the others could only follow closely.

The stairs were surrounded by creatures resembling familiars, and locks and chains kept flying towards the group.

But under the leadership of Yachiyo, these things did not endanger anyone at all.

Finally, after repelling numerous familiars, they reached the highest point and saw an incredible sight.

The bell, which they believed to be the main form of the rumor, stood there motionless. Next to the bell sat a man in white clothes, and Feng was holding a tray and feeding fruit into the man's mouth.

Rena: "Kaede!"

Peach: "Who are you? What did you do to Feng?"

Huan Caiyu: "Mr. Bai?!"

Yachiyo: "Are you the owner of the rumor?"

"Welcome everyone, please don't be anxious. We can take our time to solve any problems you have." Bai Zhangzui took the fruit that Feng brought to his mouth and smiled at everyone.

"Oh, by the way, if you don't mind hurting the person next to me, you can attack as much as you want."

Looking at the people with different expressions, Bai shrugged and put on an innocent look.

Feng is naturally under his control now, but she doesn't have any thoughts about Feng or anything. It's just that Reina in front of her makes Bai very interested.

It's rare to meet such a distinct tsundere, and Bai really wants to see how far she can go.

"Iroha, do you know him?" Momoko asked after hearing what Tamaki Iroha called her. At the same time, Reina and Yachiyo also looked over.

"Well, I've met him once, but I don't know why he's here." Seeing the looks from several people, Huan Caiyu hurriedly explained.

Then he looked at Bai, "Mr. Bai..."

Before Tamaki Iroha could ask a question, Shiro interrupted her.

"Wait a moment, each person is limited to one question, and I will answer whatever it is." Bai stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the few people, his face full of joy.

"How do we know if your answer is correct?" Yachiyo looked at Bai seriously, with no disguising the suspicion in his eyes.

But Bai didn't care.

"That's a question, are you sure?"

“…” Yachiyo remained silent.

"Who will go first?" Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that they could start.

"I'll go first." Reina took the lead and stepped forward.

"What did you do to Feng?"

"I'm just temporarily controlling her body. There's no danger."

"you..."

"Your problems are over. Return to your place."

Seeing Reina about to rush forward, Bai waved his hand, and Reina's body returned to its previous position and stopped moving.

"What do you want in exchange for Feng letting her go?" This time it was Taozi who came up.

Just as Bai said, Feng is very close to him now. If Taozi and the others take action, Feng will definitely be affected. Now that he has learned that Feng is not in danger, although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, he feels somewhat comforted in his heart.

That's why Taozi asked this.

"After you finish asking questions, I'll let you go."

After getting the answer, Taozi nodded and returned to her original position consciously.

Looking along Momoko's side, Iroha Tamaki seemed to be still a little hesitant.

Now that she knew Feng was fine, Huan Caiyu wanted to ask about her sister. She learned about You's existence from Bai during their last meeting, but she still had a lot to ask.

After standing there and thinking for a while, she quickly figured out what she needed to know most at the moment.

"Mr. Bai, I want to know where You is now?"

"Huh? I thought you were going to ask how to get You back?" Bai looked at Huan Caiyu in surprise.

The last time they met, he had already told Huan Caiyu that You was safe now, and Huan Caiyu must have asked this question based on You's safety, so Bai was surprised.

"Then..." Huan Caiyu also reacted and wanted to repent.

But Bai had already said it.

"Maggies."

After hearing Bai's answer, Huan Caiyu had no choice but to stop.

"Maggies?"

"Well, You is now in an organization called 'Magis'."

"What kind of organization is 'Magis'?" Tamaki Iroha asked hurriedly.

You is only in elementary school, yet she has joined some organization. Even though Bai has told her that You is safe now, she still can't help but worry.

However, Bai just looked at her and smiled, shaking his head.

With a sigh in her heart, Huan Caiyu returned to her original position helplessly.

At least now I have a direction to look for...

"Well, it's your turn then."

Shiro's gaze turned to the last person, and Yachiyo calmly took a step forward.

The trident pointed at Bai, then shifted slightly to aim at Zhong beside it.

"What is this?"

Yachiyo was very confused. When she was about halfway up the stairs, she found Bai here. At that time, Feng did not look like this. It seemed that the scene suddenly became like this just before they came up.

And if she guessed correctly, this bell should be the master of these familiars and the master of this barrier.

The chains that had been attacking them all the way stopped as they arrived here.

No, it didn't stop. Yachiyo glanced behind Bai and saw the chains were still dancing.

This place is covered by something, and the chains can't get in at all.

However, even if the chains still attack them, Yachiyo is confident that she can destroy them.

That's why she asked this question, to verify some of the things she was investigating.

Yachiyo's eyes flickered as she waited for Shiro's answer.

"Rumors, or hearsay, are exactly what you are investigating." Bai explained slowly.

"It's something created by humans that looks like a witch, but unlike a witch, it has a different triggering mechanism. Once it's created and spread, it will trigger when the conditions are met. Normally, it's harmless unless the triggering conditions are met."

Rumor? Is that true?

Yachiyo nodded secretly. She had seen many such phenomena, but every time she arrived at the scene, she found nothing except some magic power.

Now after Bai's explanation, I understand the reason.

Once the triggering conditions are met, Rumor will appear and take the person into the barrier, and naturally no one else can see them.

After getting the answer she needed, Yachiyo quietly returned to her original position and stared at Shiro with the other three.

The scene suddenly became silent, leaving only the sound of Feng constantly feeding Bai and Bai chewing.

"Hey, I've asked all the questions. It's time for you to let Feng go." Seeing that Bai didn't seem to be moving at all, Reina was the first to lose her patience, and her face was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you that I'd let you go once I left? I haven't left yet."

Seeing that the fruit was almost finished, Bai was about to leave, but suddenly heard Lingna's question, and Bai suddenly became interested again.

"I remember that your magical girls' soul gems seemed to be turned into rings and worn on their hands, right?"

As he spoke, Bai suddenly held Feng's small hand and took off the ring on her hand.

"What are you doing?" This time even Taozi became excited.

"Don't panic, it's just an experiment. By the way, why do you all want to turn into rings? Haven't you considered necklaces or headdresses?"

Bai played with the ring transformed from Feng's soul gem, and a faint light emanated from his hand.

"You bastard, let Feng go."

"Reina!"

Seeing that Bai had no intention of letting Feng go and was even making more and more excessive moves, Reina could no longer suppress her anger and picked up the trident and stabbed at Bai.

Taozi, who was beside her, didn't even react.

'Ding--'

With a crisp sound, the trident stopped in front of Bai, as if a barrier had appeared to block it.

Bai raised his head and looked at Reina with amusement.

"You seem very anxious. Since you are so worried about her, why don't you take her place?"

"Mr. Bai, please don't do this." Huan Caiyu, who was standing by, felt a little anxious when she saw the situation develop like this.

And suddenly a familiar feeling arose.

Yachiyo didn't say anything, just looked at Bai quietly. She didn't feel any malice from Bai, but she didn't know why Bai did this.

However, Shiro ignored them and just stared at Reina, waiting for her answer.

"Feng...Okay, let Feng go and I will replace Feng!" Lingna put away the trident and said to Bai through gritted teeth.

"It will be dangerous."

"hurry up!"

"...hehe."

Seeing Reina's impatient expression, Bai smiled lightly and put the ring back on Feng's hand.

"how do you feel."

"Huh? What?" Reina was confused, not understanding what Bai meant.

"I didn't ask you."

"Mr. Bai is so mean!" Suddenly, a soft voice came.

"Feng?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Reina looked over in surprise.

I saw that Feng had recovered his movements at some point, with an unhappy look on his face, but also a hint of blush as he looked at Bai.

Hearing Reina's voice, Feng turned around and smiled at Reina.

"It's okay, Reina, I'm fine."

Before Reina could come to her senses, Bai spoke again.

"Well, at least it made you understand her feelings, didn't it?"
