You call this a love game?

On the contrary, she herself couldn't get a word in edgewise except to eat.

Sakura Kyoko angrily took a big bite of cake, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, viciously poking at the cake crumbs on the plate, oblivious to the cream sticking to the tip of her nose and trembling with each breath.

Does this woman count the seconds while brewing tea? And how does the priest even know that?!

She stole a glance at Shiraha, who was sipping his black tea and chatting with Mami Tomoe, occasionally flashing a smile. Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting golden glints between them, making Sakura Kyoko's eyes hurt.

She felt like an outsider, an outsider who was simply brought along to freeload. She wasn't as good at fighting as that woman, nor could she liven up the atmosphere, and she couldn't explain their temperature, texture, ingredients, or anything like that. All she knew was that the snacks she ate today were better than anything she had ever eaten before.

She shouldn't be here; she should be under the table. She's the one who disturbed us.

Thinking this, Sakura Kyoko simply punched Shiraha in the side, venting her frustration and displeasure.

How could Lady Sakura Kyoko do something like crawling under a table!

"Hiss—what are you doing!"

While chatting happily with Mami Tomoe, Bai Yu suddenly felt a heavy blow to his lower back, causing him to gasp in pain.

"It's nothing, I just had an itchy hand." Sakura Kyoko lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers, pretending to be nonchalant.

Mami Tomoe couldn't help but chuckle twice, then got up and refilled Sakura Kyoko's empty teacup with fragrant tea.

“This child…” Bai Yu rubbed his side and looked helplessly at Mami Tomoe, “She’s used to being wild.”

"You're very energetic, a good girl. Would you like to try this, Miss Sakura? It's my specialty, scones."

Mami Tomoe pushed a plate of sweets that was a little further away from Kyoko Sakura on the table toward her, looking at her expectantly.

Sakura Kyoko's eyes lit up, but she immediately straightened her face again. "I didn't stay here just to eat some snacks!"

Bai Yu ignored her stubbornness, simply picked up his black tea, and smiled at Mami Tomoe, saying, "That's just how this child is. She's sharp-tongued, but she's actually softer than anyone else."

Mami Tomoe looked at Kyoko Sakura, who was clearly enjoying herself but pretending to be indifferent, and chuckled, "I understand. Ms. Sakura is very energetic and cute."

"Who, who's cute!" Sakura Kyoko almost choked, her cheeks turning a suspicious red.

"But speaking of which, how did Father Shiraha meet Miss Sakura? And how do you know about magical girls?"

Mami Tomoe's face was full of curiosity.

He should be a boy, so he shouldn't be among Kyubey's chosen targets, but he knows so much about magical girls, and he's even Sakura Kyoko's combat skills coach, which means his strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

She was surprised that there were other 'superpowered individuals' besides magical girls, something Kyubey had never told her about.

However, even Cupid herself didn't realize that she had completely misunderstood it.

"It's just a coincidence that I know Kyoko, but I know more about magical girls. As for how I know it, that's a whole story."

"Oh? Could you tell me more about it?" Mami Tomoe became interested.

Seeing the girl's focused expression, Bai Yu took a sip of black tea and asked in a mysterious tone, "Miss Ba, do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Reincarnation?" Mami Tomoe frowned, but still patiently asked, "What's the connection between these two?"

“Of course there is.” Bai Yu gently tapped the table, drawing the girl’s attention. He pointed to himself and said, “I have come back from the future to save you after countless reincarnations.”

"..."

Not only Mami Tomoe, but even Kyoko Sakura looked at him with a 'crazy' expression.

Although Sakura Kyoko had heard Shiraha talk about reincarnation, she still remained skeptical. After all, it sounded too incredible, even more incredible than the idea that she would become a villain who disregarded human life in the future.

"Ahem, although you may not believe it, I am telling the truth."

“Hmm…” Mami Tomoe paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile. “Okay, so assuming Father Shiraha is telling the truth, may I ask, is there anything we need to save? Is it that one of us will be killed by the witch, or something else?”

"This is a crucial question, and it is precisely the purpose of my many reincarnations." Bai Yu's eyes brightened, and he said solemnly, "About a year from now, a super witch will appear in this city that neither of you can defeat together. Wherever she goes, nothing grows and the city is shattered. You will also perish in that battle. I have come back to the present with a mission to save you and completely defeat that witch."

"Although it seems a bit unlikely, I still feel like you're not lying," Mami Tomoe couldn't help but exclaim.

For some reason, she felt a strange urge to trust the man she had only known for less than two hours, but reason told her that this was not right.

"Of course, I'm just telling the truth. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine. You'll know in a year. After all, being misunderstood is the norm."

“Alright, I’ll believe you for now. But since you said you couldn’t solve it in all those previous cycles, do you have any other ideas this time?” Mami Tomoe asked.

"Of course I am. I'm not on the same level as I used to be. This time I'm absolutely confident that I can completely defeat it and kill it."

He has already accumulated more than twenty points of divinity. At this rate, he will soon become a god-like being in less than a year.

Even if he was only a demigod, he believed that would be enough to kill Witch Night.

With each increase in divinity, the power within him also increases. Now, the power within him is enough to instantly kill an ordinary witch, let alone the strength of a demigod. Becoming a god is a given.

That witch was only alive for a second longer because he let her go.

"If you really don't believe me, Miss Ba, we can find a place to fight together and see how I cooperate with you. Then you'll know whether what I said is true or false."

Seeing the confident smile on Bai Yu's face, Mami Tomoe pondered for a moment and nodded.

"That's okay too."

Two people who have never worked together before will likely be hesitant and restrained when they first team up, for fear that the other's attack might accidentally harm their ally.

Of course, there are also cases where the two teams work together flawlessly on their first collaboration, but the probability of that is even smaller than her cautious battle with the witch, where she ultimately dies in the witch's mouth due to carelessness.

"Let me first tell you about my abilities..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yu interrupted her directly, "No need, no one understands your abilities better than me."

Despite Bai Yu's confidence, which could even be described as arrogance, Mami Tomoe remained unperturbed, maintaining her gentle smile as she crisply said, "Alright, since you're so confident, I'll be going all out in a bit. Just be careful not to get hit by my attack."

"Don't worry, Miss Ba, feel free to act as you see fit, I'll assist you."

As he said, no one understands Mami Tomoe's abilities better than him, not even Mami herself, since the latter's ability development is not yet at the level it will be a year from now.

If the two weren't still relatively familiar with each other, he could even tell her bra size and where her sensitive spots were.

After all, he hadn't wasted the previous year or so of his life sleeping; he had never stopped exploring the female body type.

My hand is the ruler.

Although Mami Tomoe does long for companions to fight alongside her, she is somewhat reluctant to associate with arrogant and boastful people.

She's been a magical girl for over half a year now, and among the magical girls around her, she's considered one of the more senior ones. Now, suddenly someone comes along who claims to understand her abilities better than she does herself, which makes her a little unhappy.

Based on what she could possibly think of, she must have witnessed her fighting style and thus had some understanding of her abilities to say such a thing.

She decided to punish this arrogant man later, to let him know that she was not as simple as he thought. Of course, if what he said was true, she would also apologize obediently, and if he was willing, she would also become his apprentice.

The three arrived at a witch's barrier that had already been hatched.

Standing outside the witch's barrier, Shiraha gestured to Mami Tomoe with his eyes. Mami Tomoe nodded and entered the barrier first.

Shiraha followed behind, while Sakura Kyoko hung at a distance, her hands behind her head, ready to watch a good show.

She just felt bored and wanted to see the two of them fight until they bled profusely, so that she could go back to her territory, Kazamino City, with her priest and continue her carefree and happy life every day.

Inside the barrier was an upside-down classroom, with desks and chairs suspended in mid-air, and the blackboard covered with crazy graffiti drawn in chalk.

As soon as they entered the barrier, a group of winged chalk and eraser familiars rushed towards them.

"Prepare for battle!" Mami Tomoe shouted softly, and her clothes changed.

The gentle and lovely school uniform was replaced by a cool and dashing denim-style combat outfit. The original black pantyhose was replaced by a pair of black boots, with white vertical striped brown over-the-knee socks underneath, forming an alluring absolute territory with the short skirt hanging on the thighs.

Snow-white and delicate.

Mami Tomoe wielded two guns, two flintlock pistols that appeared out of thin air, and she kept firing at the flying familiars.

Even though she was supposed to cooperate with Bai Yu, she still didn't slack off at all. She had to stay vigilant at all times and couldn't let her guard down. Fighting a witch was no child's play.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Mami Tomoe's flintlock pistol accurately hit each familiar, her movements fluid and graceful.

She glanced at Bai Yu out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see how this 'expert' would cooperate, only to find him leisurely leaning against the upside-down blackboard, showing no intention of helping at all.

“Father?” she couldn’t help but exclaim.

Bai Yu smiled slightly, "Don't rush, the main event hasn't even started yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom ceiling suddenly cracked open, and a huge chalk box slowly descended from the sky.

She emitted a piercing screeching sound, and countless chalk shards shot towards the two of them.

Mami quickly conjured more than a dozen flintlock pistols, which formed a defensive formation in the air.

Just then, Bai Yu suddenly moved.

He rushed to Mami's side, placed his left hand on her shoulder, and clenched his right hand towards the void, instantly turning the world gray.

"Now!" Bai Yu shouted.

Mami Tomoe instinctively understood the command. Countless flintlock muskets spewed out tongues of fire, and bullets flew toward the chalk spikes in the air, then froze after leaving a certain range.

Having dealt with the threat from the familiar, the yellow ribbon on Bai Yu's wrist rapidly lengthened and flew towards the witch in front of him, binding her entire body.

Without a word, Mami Tomoe understood and pulled out the ribbon from her chest, and a giant cannon appeared, aimed at the witch's core.

"boom--!"

Amidst the flames of the explosion, time seemed to stand still, then suddenly stopped. Shiraha's ribbon was retracted, and Mami Tomoe's attack instantly reached the witch, leaving her with no way to dodge.

The whole process took less than half a minute, and the two worked together seamlessly.

Mami almost lost her balance when she landed, but Shiraha helped her up.

She stared wide-eyed at Bai Yu, "This...this is unbelievable!"

Not only did I not feel constrained, but things went surprisingly smoothly, and the time and magic power required to kill were much less than before.

You should know that in the past, just clearing out these familiars would consume a lot of her magic power, not to mention the final 'Finale' that would end the witch. After that attack, she would usually have very little magic power left and her physical strength would be almost completely exhausted.

She couldn't believe how easily she had won this time.

She even felt that she could continue hunting three more witches without any problem, as her magic power and physical strength were more than enough to support the rest of the hunt.

“I’ve said it before, no one understands your fighting style better than me.” Bai Yu blinked and smiled.

The barrier began to collapse, and Sakura Kyoko ran over from a distance, looking annoyed. "Is it over already? I thought I was going to see a good show."

Mami Tomoe was still in shock. She hadn't expected that she had been studied so thoroughly and that her fighting rhythm had been so clearly understood.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, then suddenly bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, I was just doubting you..."

"It's okay, so do you believe me now? About the fact that I came back from the future."

“I believe you.” Mami Tomoe nodded blankly.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Indirect Kiss!?

When the battle ended and the three of them stepped out of the barrier, it was already afternoon.

Seeing Shiraha about to leave without looking back, Mami Tomoe hesitated for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Father, could you tell me more about that super witch?"

Bai Yu nodded. "Let's talk as we walk."

Mami Tomoe was well aware of the power of witches, and even considered that she might die in that battle. But what she didn't expect was that there were beings even more powerful than ordinary witches, whom even a group of people working together couldn't defeat.

According to what she heard from Bai Yu, there were four people fighting alongside her, all of whom were quite strong, but they were still helpless against that witch.

Especially after defeating the opponent, the second phase that appears can be incredibly disheartening.

Although it was hard to believe, Mami Tomoe still felt that he wasn't lying. After all, their coordinated fighting just now was genuine, not to mention his grasp of all sorts of information about her.

If she hadn't been prepared, she would have almost thought Bai Yu was a super stalker, frantically trying to find out about her, and even not letting go of her deceased parents!

But when Bai Yu mentioned that she had a small mole on the lower part of her southern hemisphere, her eyes instantly sharpened.

What was our relationship before? How do you know about this?

That's so weird!

Even though it was her first time meeting Bai Yu, he seemed to know everything about her body, even more than she did herself.

The client hadn't measured her bra size, but Bai Yu could tell her size without even touching her, and that she was still developing, which meant her bra wasn't big enough and her chest felt stuffy!

"Wait, wait! Father!" Mami Tomoe's face flushed red. She instinctively clutched her chest and took two steps back, staring at Bai Yu warily. "How could Father know about such a thing?!"

Seeing the girl so shy, Bai Yu chuckled and explained, "Well... it's naturally because our relationship was quite... close before."
