You call this a love game?

"Two patients, please keep quiet?"

The scene before her eyes left the nurse stunned—the blonde girl was straddling the boy and pulling his ear, while Bai Yu, who should have been 'heartbroken,' was laughing like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank.

"We're undergoing rehabilitation training!" Bai Yu said, spouting nonsense without batting an eye.

Mami hurriedly rolled off him, her hair a mess like a bird's nest, and one of the buttons on her hospital gown had popped open.

"Then could you please try to keep your voices down during your rehabilitation training? Other patients need to rest."

"Yes!" x2

Two voices rang out simultaneously, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, the nurse could only silently close the door and leave, muttering to herself outside, "Kids these days are so open-minded..."

Hearing the nurse's mutterings, Mami buried her face in the pillow and let out a small animal's mournful cry.

Bai Yu poked her bright red earlobe with a mischievous grin, "Sister Mami, do you still want the buttons?"

"No more!" A muffled voice came from under the pillow.

"Then give it to me as a talisman."

Bai Yu put the button into his pocket, zipped it up, and carefully kept it safe.

The second button, closest to the heart, is given to someone you like, signifying that you are giving your heart to them.

"But are you sure it's alright?"

After the playful fight ended, Mami Tomoe looked at him with a furrowed brow and a worried expression.

Although the two of them were having a lot of fun when they were playing around, maybe it was just an act for her. She would rather see the boy cry than see him calm down like this.

"Sister Mami." Bai Yu called out to her, looking directly into the girl's golden eyes with a serious expression. "I can't... I can't be sad alone anymore. I've lost all my family. I have to pull myself together. Crying and being sad won't solve anything. I have a long life ahead of me, and I have to be responsible for myself."

He paused, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Besides, why couldn't I cry... because I'd already cried all my tears. I secretly cried several times before you woke up, Mami-nee, so you really don't need to worry about me. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to talk to my uncle and aunt about the adoption."

The tears were fake, but the gratitude was real.

Without Mami Tomoe, he would normally likely be sent to an orphanage, which would be terrible. He doesn't want to run away while being wanted by the police for the time being.

"I'm sorry, I underestimated Shiraha-kun. I thought..." Mami Tomoe immediately bowed and nodded in apology.

She had thought Bai Yu was a heartless ingrate, but his words instantly changed her perception of him. She saw him as a fearless, strong, and independent young man, which further solidified her resolve to persuade her parents to agree to become Bai Yu's guardian.

She was able to get here safely thanks to the boy, especially the figure before she lost consciousness. Although it's not clear who it was, Bai Yu was probably the only one who remained conscious throughout. In other words, it's highly likely that Bai Yu saved her, along with her seriously injured parents.

Without hesitation, Mami wanted to tell her parents about it, but then she remembered what the nurse had said about them being out of danger, so she had to suppress her excitement and lie in bed waiting for the IV drip to start.

However, while Mami Tomoe was excited, Shiraha was somewhat dumbfounded.

The fact that Mami Tomoe's parents were still alive completely disrupted his plans; they shouldn't have been alive in the first place.

As far as he knew, Mami's parents had already passed away by the time of the last simulation, as could be seen from the two black-and-white photos displayed in the corner of the living room.

Mami Tomoe is also on the verge of death; if outsiders intervene, she will most likely also perish.

Considering the price of becoming a magical girl, one can probably guess that she made a wish to Kyubey to survive when she was on the verge of death in this car accident, which is how she became a magical girl. But now he has ruined it, and even rewritten the fate of her parents.

In other words, he needs to find another reason and opportunity to make Mami Tomoe wish to become a magical girl, only then can he obtain her power.

Although he possesses the powerful magnetic field manipulation superpower described in the text, he still needs to make two preparations just in case. He cannot slack off in improving his own talent, and he must also continue the progress on the magical girl side.

But given how things are developing, she might not become a magical girl. So... what about Witch Night?

I'm playing Witch's Night? Alone? Really?

Well, it seems the only way to 'threaten' them now is to use Mami's parents as leverage.

Although he was out of danger of dying, the situation of surviving such a car accident was certainly not optimistic, and that's when it was his turn to shine.

A universal cure!

Even though he had used up some points during the battle on Witch's Night, and nearly 30 points were used to heal the critically injured Mami Tomoe, he still had 338 points left, which was more than enough to heal both of Mami's parents.

"Sister Mami, should we go check on Uncle and Auntie?" Bai Yu suddenly spoke up, bringing up the matter that the girl was most concerned about.

"Huh? Is it okay?" Mami Tomoe asked, somewhat surprised, but also looking at Shiraha with great anticipation. "Didn't the police officer say they were just out of danger? Is it really okay?"

Although she didn't say it aloud, and even kept comforting Shiraha who had lost her loved ones, children of this age can't resist the natural sense of security that comes from their parents. Mami herself was actually very panicked, afraid that her parents would leave her.

But now there are two people here. She is the older sister, the one who is older. She must take on the responsibility of a senior. It's too inappropriate for her to cry like this. She has to pull herself together.

"Of course you can. Even if you can't see it up close, you should be able to observe it through the glass."

"Let's go now."

Mami Tomoe couldn't wait to get out of bed. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes before she was about to leave. Her pair of fair and delicate little feet landed directly on the off-white floor, and her crystal-clear toes twitched nervously a couple of times.

Bai Yu reached out and stopped Mami Tomoe, sighing and saying helplessly, "Wait, Mami-nee, you should pack up first. You still have the injection in your hand, so you need to bring the IV bag with you."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's reminder, Mami Tomoe noticed her messy hair from playing around and the button that had popped open at her collar. She quickly tidied herself up.

While Mami was tidying her clothes and hair, Shiraha casually hung the IV bag on a stick and held it high to prevent blood from flowing back. He also found the slippers that had been accidentally kicked under the bed and placed them next to Mami's feet, indicating that she should put them on.

Once everything was settled, Bai Yu led Mami Tomoe to the nurses' station and asked her about the location of her parents' ward.

Upon learning that the intensive care unit was downstairs, Mami Tomoe hurriedly grabbed Shiraha's hand and rushed there.

Outside the intensive care unit, Mami Tomoe stood on tiptoe, peering through the glass. Shiraha stood behind her, holding an IV bag, and could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

"Mom and Dad..." Mami whispered, her fingers leaving blurry marks on the glass window. When she saw their bodies, her voice suddenly choked up, "They have so many tubes in their bodies..."

Bai Yu stood behind her and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "It will be alright. There's an old Chinese saying, 'Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.' Your uncle and aunt will definitely be fine."

"Hope it..."

Despite saying that, Mami Tomoe was still very worried about her parents' condition.

According to the doctor on duty, her father suffered spinal nerve damage and will likely be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Her mother also suffered intracranial hemorrhage and a severe concussion, so it's uncertain whether she will wake up.

The situation for the two of them is not much better now. Compared to her, who only had a few scratches, it's a world of difference. She no longer asks her parents to return to their normal state before the car accident. She would be content as long as they could wake up and show her their familiar, gentle smiles again.

But reality was too cruel; even her small wish couldn't be fulfilled. Without a miracle, the doctor's prediction was highly likely to come true, and her once happy and fulfilling family was about to be destroyed...

"Want to go in and have a look?"

Bai Yu suddenly spoke, pulling the girl out of her sorrowful thoughts.
