Patrick paused for a moment, seemingly recalling what had happened earlier, before continuing, "Given Kira's personality, she should be practicing singing somewhere right now, or perhaps putting on a 'performance'."
"A performance? This is an amusement park, where would we find a place for a performance?"
Salome frowned, then looked around at everyone, but couldn't see Sophia and Bella. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are Sophia and Bella?"
"Sophia and Bella went to buy candy and will be back soon. As for Kira... let's go look for her together after Sophia and Bella return."
"It can only be this way."
Salome nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "You stupid dog, behave yourself! Wait until Sofia and Bella come back before you go play!"
Gauze shrank back, not daring to refute Salome.
The reason is simple: modern gauze can't compete with Salome.
Before long, Sofia returned to where everyone was waiting, carrying a bag of candy in her left hand and holding Bella's hand with her right, who had a calm expression on her face.
"I kept you waiting."
Sofia showed a hint of apology and then distributed the candy to the children.
Bronya, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina all happily accepted the candy, while Bella remained calm, merely offering a soft thank you, seemingly lost in thought.
Afterwards, the group set off to search for Shigure Kira, whose whereabouts were unknown.
……
After more than ten minutes, the group finally found Shigure Kira singing loudly on a makeshift stage.
"It's easy to be restrained and forget about it~"
"The eyes are closed and the eyes are closed~"
"..."
Familiar songs resounded across the stage, stirring joyful emotions among nearby tourists and children.
If Qiu Bi and Xi Lin were here, they would know that the song Shigure Kira was singing at this moment was "Conequent," the opening theme of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica."
"It seems that Qiluo's dream has come true."
Patrick gazed at Shigure Kira, whose face was beaming with joy. Perhaps he was happy for Shigure Kira, or perhaps he was infected by her joy, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Salome placed her hands on Aurora and Galina's heads respectively, and said, "It should be said that Qiu Bi's ability is too strong, which is why he was able to give Qi Luo such a singing voice..."
"Hahaha... Indeed, Qiu Bi is the first person I've ever seen with such amazing abilities, it's almost like..."
"The legendary 'god'".
Salome picked up where Patrick left off, casually stating Patrick's conclusion.
Patrick smiled and nodded, saying nothing more, and silently waited for Shigure Kira to finish her performance.
Shigure Kira's performance did not last long, only three or four minutes, before she quietly left the stage, leaving it to others.
"Mmm—that was so much fun!"
Shi Yu Qi Luo stretched, her brows filled with joy.
This was her first performance after receiving the "Heavenly Voice" award, and it naturally ended perfectly.
Then, she saw Sophia and the others standing not far away, and was momentarily stunned before quickly walking towards them.
"Have Qiu Bi and Lady Cecilia arrived in Changkong City yet?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
"That's it..."
Shigure Kira nodded, then reached out and gently pinched Bronya's cheek, causing Bronya to turn her head away in disgust, avoiding Shigure Kira's "claws".
"Mom, this older sister is bullying me!"
Bronya hugged Alexandra tightly, unwilling to let Shigure Kira pinch her.
Seeing this, Alexandra gently stroked Bronya's back to comfort her, while Shigure Kira smiled and stopped teasing Bronya.
"What should we do next? Continue sightseeing? Or wait for news from Qiu Bi and Lady Cecilia?"
Patrick thought for a few seconds, then suggested, "The map shows there's a bubble tea shop nearby, why don't we go sit there for a while?"
"Of course!" Before Shigure Kira could answer, Shubu replied excitedly, "Winter is the time to enjoy hot drinks to your heart's content!"
"Stupid dog."
Salome gave a light scolding, then led Aurora and Galina toward the milk tea shop.
Shub was furious when she heard Salome's scolding, but she knew she couldn't beat Salome, so she took the initiative to find help.
"Agatha, Salome is insulting both of us, we have to teach her a lesson!"
"Yes, yes!"
Agatha chuckled and agreed, then countered with, "But, can Sister Shub beat Sister Salome?"
Shub's face froze instantly, then she asked casually, "Agatha should help me, right?"
"It will not happen!"
Agatha refused Shub without hesitation, saying, "If I help Shub, Aurora and Galina will help Salome. Putting aside whether I can beat Aurora and Galina, Sirin will definitely be unhappy."
If Sirin sees Agatha fighting with Aurora and Galina, she will definitely be unhappy, and then the three girls will be in trouble.
At best, Sirin will ignore them; at worst, she will imprison them in the imaginary space.
For naturally active and energetic children, being locked in a dark room is undoubtedly the most terrifying punishment.
Upon hearing this, Shub immediately hung her head in dejection and dejectedly led Agatha away.
"Shub, you'd better find some time to get stronger." Shigure Kira teased Shub with a smile, "As long as you're weaker than Salome, you'll always be under Salome's thumb."
"Damn it! I also want to become stronger quickly, but I'm no match for Salome!"
Shub's annoyed complaints only elicited laughter from Shigure Kira and Patrick.
Amid the laughter of the two women, Shub grew increasingly annoyed and quickly caught up with Salome, attempting to verbally overpower her.
Unfortunately, no matter what Shub said, Salome's response remained the same.
"You can't beat me, you stupid dog."
Shub was furious, but she couldn't refute Salome's words.
Chapter 50 Magical Girl Teriri
Changkong City.
Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and Xilin left the airport but did not immediately take Sophia and the others to Changkong City. Instead, they went to find a place to stay for the future.
Since it was their first time in Changkong City, Qiu Bi and Cecilia were unfamiliar with the place and its people, so they ultimately chose to seek help from "Maria Shaniat".
According to Cecilia's prediction, after her "death" is confirmed, Maria, as a "saint candidate," will inevitably become the new saint and will be able to mobilize the power of the Shaniat family.
“Cecilia, won’t contacting Maria directly lead to the Shaniat family finding out about you?”
"Probably not. If I ask Maria to keep it a secret for me, Maria will probably keep my whereabouts and whereabouts a secret."
Cecilia linked arms with Qiu Bi, their intimacy like that of lovers.
Celine held Qiu Bi's hand and asked curiously, "Mommy Cecilia, who is Maria?"
"That's my sister."
Cecilia smiled gently and continued, "Little Sirin, she'll probably like you a lot."
“Mom Cecilia, Celine isn’t little anymore! Celine is 13 years old this year, almost an adult!”
"That's still a long way off."
Qiu Bi chuckled and then made a sarcastic remark to Xilin.
Upon hearing this, Xilin let out a dissatisfied snort, then turned her head to look elsewhere, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Qiu Bi.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia looked at each other in silence, then left the place with Sirin.
"Cecilia, when are you planning to contact Maria?"
"Later. Let's find a coffee shop first, and then I'll contact Maria and ask her to help arrange your work."
"I work?"
“That’s right. Although you can quickly become a qualified ‘all-purpose doctor’ with your abilities, you will still need to work hard for a while first. However, with Maria’s help, you can skip that period of hard work.”
Cecilia brushed her hair back, having already planned out Qiu Bi's next steps.
Besides housing and Qiu Bi's future job, Maria also needs to help with the studies of Celine, Aurora, Agata, Galina, and Bella.
Given the current age of the five girls, they should be in middle school, so they must learn and master the elementary school curriculum in a short period of time.
"Learning is simple. I can bestow upon them the 'Herrscher of Reason Core,' granting them abilities such as photographic memory."
"Qiu Bi, you spoil the children too much. This could very well lead them to develop a habit of getting something for nothing."
Cecilia spoke softly, explaining in detail the dangers of overindulging children.
Arrogant, domineering, selfish...
Although these harms can be corrected later, avoiding over-indulgence of children in advance can save the effort of correction later.
"I understand. But what about the children's studies?"
“Leave this to me.” Cecilia smiled. “I’ve had the idea of becoming a teacher before, and Theresa even asked me if I wanted to manage a school.”
When Theresa was mentioned, Cecilia suddenly asked, "Qiu Bi shouldn't know Theresa, right?"
"I would say we know each other; we've met once before."
"Eh? When?"
“When Theresa and Patrick went to the Babylon Laboratory to investigate the disappearance of researchers, I saw Theresa in Sirin’s imaginary space.”
Cecilia nodded, then chuckled and asked in return, "So what kind of person do you think Theresa is?"
"Theresa looks very young, but she must be quite old, yet she is full of childlike innocence and naivety."
Regardless of whether he had played Honkai Impact 2 or Honkai Impact 3rd in his previous life, Qiu Bi would still think so after seeing Theresa in person.
