You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"Hehe~" Agatha let out a sly laugh, "I'll leave Academy City to you for now, I should go and meet up with Galina."

"Okay, be careful on the road, and let me know when you get there safely."

Agatha waved his hand, did not answer Aurora's words, and drove away.

Aurora stared blankly as the taxi drove away, disappearing from sight, before she transformed into a gentle breeze and silently left the place.

Meanwhile, Qiu Bi and Eden won the grand prize of a free visit to "Witch Academy" today by being among the "623rd batch of ticket buyers".

"The number 623 should refer to a date, right? Does June 23rd have any special commemorative significance?"

"It simply refers to the date; as for its special commemorative significance..."

Qiu Bi paused for a moment, then continued to explain, "June 23rd is Xilin's birthday."

"I see."

Eden lowered his eyelids and carefully examined the tickets for Witch's Paradise.

The ticket is exquisitely made, with a silhouette of a magical girl on the front. Judging from the image of her holding a longbow that resembles a tree branch, it is not difficult to tell that the silhouette is actually Sirin.

In addition, the ticket has a frosted texture, making it more like a collectible card than an amusement park ticket.

Looking at the silhouette on the front of the ticket, Qiu Bi seemed to be deep in thought.

The silhouette is not of the current Sirin, but of Sirin as a child, around fifteen or sixteen years old.

Qiu Bi and Eden paused briefly at the entrance of "Witch's Paradise" before having their tickets checked and entering the park to begin their tour of the amusement park meticulously prepared by Aurora and Agatha.

Chapter 256 The Pure Evil of a Child

The rides at Witch's Paradise are quite common, consisting of Ferris wheels, roller coasters, carousels, pirate ships, and the like.

For some reason, Sirin seems to have a special fondness for Ferris wheels, so much so that the Ferris wheel at Witch's Paradise is very luxurious.

Perhaps due to Aurora's tacit encouragement, Qiu Bi and Eden always seem to encounter different kinds of "promotional activities," such as couples' challenges or discounts for two...

It's worth mentioning that, apart from Qiu Bi and Eden, the visitors to Witch's Paradise were mostly women in twos and threes.

To give Qiu Bi and Eden a bit of "challenge," the two often encounter many lesbian girls when participating in the "Couple Challenge."

As for whether she is truly a lesbian girl, Qiu Bi has no way of knowing.

Eden was not averse to this; in fact, he was happy to participate, as if the two were truly a "couple."

Only Qiu Bi knew perfectly well that his relationship with Eden had not yet reached that level; at most, it was only slightly closer than "friends."

Since the "Monster Resurrection" card used to revive Eden originates from Qiu Bi's "contract" ability, it won't be long before Eden and Qiu Bi become a real "couple".

— Qiu Bi could clearly perceive the "contractual" connection between himself and Eden.

Qiu Bi resurrected Eden, which already made Eden quite fond of him. In addition, the "contract" ability can further increase this fondness, so the development of their relationship is almost a foregone conclusion.

"Gentlemen, the Ferris wheel has a very beautiful meaning!"

Just as Qiu Bi and Eden were looking at the Ferris wheel not far away, Aurora suddenly appeared beside them like a cat that had smelled blood.

Eden glanced at Aurora, clearly having guessed what was going on, and a handsome smile appeared on his lips.

Aurora, unaware that her identity had been exposed, earnestly recounted the beautiful symbolism of the "Ferris wheel."

If a couple kisses at the highest point of a Ferris wheel, they will stay together forever.

This is the beautiful meaning behind the "Ferris wheel," which is quite romantic.

"Eden, would you like to try the Ferris wheel?"

"can."

Eden nodded gently, her beautiful eyes gazing at the slowly turning Ferris wheel, lost in thought.

Since the "Seventh Honkai War," Eden has never experienced this kind of amusement facility again.

after all……

As the "Singer," Eden faded away with the passing of time and the disappearance of starlight during that devastating war, leaving only the "Moth that chases the flame" to shine like a star in the world.

"Oh—please come with me, I'll take you on a ride on the Ferris wheel!"

Suppressing her excitement, Aurora calmly led Qiu Bi and Eden toward the Ferris wheel.

Compared to when she first entered the Witch's Paradise, Eden now naturally took Qiu Bi's arm and experienced the Witch's Paradise as an "ordinary girl".

That's why Aurora felt so excited.

If all goes well, she might be able to arrange the meeting between Qiu Bi and Eden today, and then she can go to Paris, France to support Agatha and Galina.

Although Qiu Bi and Eden already seemed like a couple, Aurora didn't relax and began arranging their future itinerary.

After Qiu Bi and Eden have experienced the Ferris wheel, Aurora will deliver the zoo tickets to them, allowing them to proceed to their next destination.

In addition, Aurora also prepared an aquarium and an evening movie, practically planning the afternoon and evening itinerary for Qiu Bi and Eden herself.

Unfortunately, when Qiu Bi and Eden reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel, they did not kiss as Aurora had hoped, which left her feeling very disappointed.

During the rest of the trip, Aurora accompanied Qiu Bi and Eden on their travels in different guises, doing her best to bring the two together. Little did she know that Eden had already guessed Aurora's plan.

……

Paris France.

As evening falls, the orphanage, which has been bustling all day, is about to return to its quiet state.

Because she needed to receive treatment from a psychologist today, Nina enjoyed a long-awaited day of peace and quiet.

"I need to get back to my room quickly and then write a reply to Iselin..."

Nina muttered to herself, quickly finished her dinner, and then hurried away from the orphanage's canteen.

Seeing this, the three children silently finished eating and got up to leave the cafeteria.

Nina knew nothing of this and, filled with hopeful anticipation for the future, hurried toward her room.

"Hey! Nina!"

Before Nina could even get back to her room, a familiar voice sounded behind her.

—This is a sound like a nightmare.

Nina recognized the voice; it belonged to the child who most often bullied her.

"What, what's wrong?"

Nina had been bullied for many years. Even though she decided to move out of the orphanage after she grew up, she didn't dare to speak loudly in front of the children who often bullied her. She always looked timid and weak.

The three children did not answer Nina's question immediately, but instead surrounded her with smiles.

Seeing this, Nina seemed to realize something and lowered her head, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

Then, the three children pushed and shoved Nina toward her room.

In an instant, Nina's unease grew stronger.

In the past, I was bullied in the women's restroom or in a secluded corner where no one was around. Why was I being bullied in my room today?

"W-What are you going to do?"

"Nina, we should be good friends, right?"

"……Um."

Nina didn't dare to utter any denials and could only timidly respond to what the other person said.

Upon hearing this, the child immediately revealed a smug smile.

"In that case... Nina, your good friend can come to your room to play, right?"

"No, you can't..."

Nina could tolerate being bullied by other children, but she couldn't stand them disturbing her only "sanctuary," especially since her most precious "gift" was stored in her bedside table.

—A letter from Iseline.

Upon hearing Nina's rejection, the child's expression turned from sunny to stormy, and he immediately slapped Nina across the face without hesitation.

Nina didn't feel any "pain," so she didn't react much; she just felt her cheek being pushed hard.

"Hey! Nina, aren't we good friends? Why won't you let us come to your room to play?"

The child's tone of voice was no longer as smug as before, and even his face was full of disgust.

The other children's true attitude towards Nina, the only "strange child" in the orphanage, remained consistent: they all felt extreme disgust and even hatred.

Children's emotions are often very pure, whether it is "good" or "evil" to the extreme, and they often do things that are hard for adults to predict.

At this moment, faced with Nina's first refusal, the "malice" in the hearts of these three children was fully unleashed, driving things in an uncontrollable direction.

Chapter 257 Nina's Despair

The child, his face contorted with disgust, grabbed Nina's hair and, without a care in the world, dragged her toward him.

"Nina, you strange child—a monster!"

The child didn't hold back his complaints, and even shook Nina's hair vigorously as he spoke.

Nina's petite body was like a small boat in a storm, swaying with the child's rocking.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Nina's expression remained unchanged, allowing the children to bully her.

For Nina, being bullied wasn't a big deal, since she didn't feel any pain anyway.

As for the injuries...

Given her injuries, Nina's situation might actually be better.

At least, "Mom" won't let other children disturb Nina's recovery.

Once the three children are satisfied, or once "Mom" notices the situation, Nina can escape their clutches and return to her only "sanctuary."

Perhaps it was because Nina's expression remained unchanged, or perhaps it was because she was in high spirits, but the other two children joined in bullying her.

Pulling hair, tearing clothes, punching and kicking...

Every possible form of bullying a child could imagine was on full display at this moment.
