Sometimes, Keke felt like this world was just one giant comic book universe.

She had just finished arguing with her big brother at home about whether they should live separately, then slept together with him for a while.

After having a nightmare, she opened her eyes and saw Teacher Shion.

Not only did she see Teacher Shion, but Teacher Shion had also turned into a dragon.

The thick dragon tail, and the transparent, adorable dragon horns... she grabbed the teacher's horns. The cool, slightly elastic texture made her unable to resist giving them a squeeze.

"Let go."

As a result, Teacher Shion suddenly spoke in an icy tone.

Keke was startled and instinctively pulled Teacher Shion's dragon horns downward.

Thus, Shion's beautiful, exquisite face was abruptly pulled down by her, almost bending all the way to Keke's stomach.

The entire room fell into a silence so profound it made one want to die.

Probably no one would ever be able to make Teacher Shion lower her head like this again.

In the instant Keke was contemplating death with relief, this thought popped into her mind.

The next moment, Shion abruptly raised her head.

The dragon horns just slammed into her stomach. Keke flew off the bed, landed on the floor, then curled up, clutching her lower abdomen.

Although it didn't directly pierce her stomach, it felt like all her internal organs had been violently jostled. Even the toes hidden inside her bubble socks curled tightly.

Fortunately, Teacher Shion wasn't actually trying to kill her. Although it hurt, it was only for a moment.

During this period, fighting Disaster Beasts and going to the Central Bureau for special training, Keke had taken quite a few beatings. While injuries sustained in Magical Girl form wouldn't carry over to her original body, the pain sensation still had to be endured personally.

Magical Girls had a pretty high tolerance for pain.

After catching her breath for a moment, Keke, still clutching her stomach, struggled to push herself up from the floor and looked toward the bed.

Teacher Shion also slowly sat up.

The long, pitch-black dragon tail swayed gently behind her. The morning sunlight streamed in from the window behind, brilliantly passing through the crystal-clear dragon horns. The golden, vertical pupils were far more dazzling than the rising sun.

If the previous Teacher Shion was simply powerful and majestic.

Then the currently dragonized Teacher Shion had gained an additional touch of sinister strangeness and mystery, along with even more terrifying imposing pressure.

When the small shadow cast by the morning sun stretched and covered her body, that barely suppressed ferocity and brutality seemed ready to burst forth, giving Keke the momentary illusion of swaying in a violent storm.

But, it was even more captivating now...

The original dress had turned black and gold. The legs hanging off the bed were clad in black and gold long boots—even in bed, Teacher Shion wouldn't take off her clothes, properly wearing both her outfit and boots.

In the dream, she originally harbored many negative emotions toward Teacher Shion.

But when facing the sunlight and taking in Teacher Shion's appearance, her thoughts came to a halt.

Like a delicate work of art.

It made Keke naturally think: for my big brother to want to abandon me because of you is simply the most abnormal thing ever.

Rather, the fact that my big brother, despite having Teacher Shion, is still willing to continue accompanying me makes him an absolutely legendary, fantastic big brother...

"T-teacher..." she panted, "why are you here? W-where's my brother?"

"He went out."

It must be that big brother asked Teacher Shion to come over and have a heart-to-heart with me.

Right, if big brother wants to move out, he definitely wants to go live with Teacher Shion, to have a sweet, intimate couple's life.

But I'm not allowing it, so he must be unhappy.

Maybe Teacher Shion and big brother had already discussed it earlier, planned what kind of apartment to rent, what furniture to buy, made plans for their future life together.

Then, blocked single-handedly by me... although big brother reluctantly agreed, he probably doesn't dare oppose Teacher Shion either.

So in the end, he still called Teacher Shion over to have me explain directly.

Originally, this really was Keke's responsibility, after all, she was the one who didn't want her big brother to move out.

Mustering courage from who-knows-where, Keke stood up in one go.

The Teacher Shion who just felt like she was pressing down on her, almost suffocating her.

Upon standing up, she realized she was actually a little shorter than herself. That small body, only the dragon tail swaying in the air behind her was taller than her.

Keke calmed her tone and properly poured out her thoughts, "I just... don't want to become a child without a home so quickly. Teacher, if my brother is gone, if only I'm left alone, then I won't have a home anymore..."

Shion tilted her head slightly, "What home?"

Keke clenched her fists, "A place where there's someone you've lived with since childhood, who will wait for you in the house, or where you can wait for them to come back, a place where you won't be all alone, that's what a home is, right? If mom and dad were still here, I wouldn't mind giving my brother to you."

"But mom and dad aren't here anymore. No matter what, my brother is my only family. Only with my brother here is this house my home. Only then won't I be afraid of being alone. So, right now, I absolutely will not give him to you, teacher! I won't be separated from my brother!"

Teacher Shion didn't answer her, just looked at her coldly.

Keke held her head high and chest out, determined not to back down!

Then she heard Teacher Shion's question, "What does that have to do with me?"

Keke's momentum instantly deflated, "Huh? Didn't my big brother ask you to come talk to me about living separately?"

"Why would we talk about that?"

For a moment, she wanted to stuff her own head under the bed!

What are you doing, Keke! Why are you always making a fool of yourself in front of Teacher Shion!

"T-then, teacher, why are you here..."

"To check your Mental Landscape, and see if your strength has improved."

Right! The teacher only ever comes to find me for this reason...

She's here to check homework.

"I've improved..."

Before she could finish, the dragon tail suddenly swept over!

In the narrow space, there was nowhere to dodge!

Keke closed her eyes and directly jumped up, hugging the dragon tail!

Accompanied by the dragon tail's up-and-down swaying, Keke used both hands and feet to desperately lock onto the tail, refusing to let go. But the dragon tail was slippery. Without transforming, she simply couldn't hold on, her entire body sliding toward the tip of the tail.

Then, with a slight exertion from Shion, she was flung onto the bed.

Dizzy and disoriented, Keke tried to get up, only to get smacked on the forehead by the dragon tail again, immediately making her behave.

"Not a single bit of improvement."

"Have you been properly doing your homework and completing your training goals recently?"

"Have you been slacking off reading comics again? All you know is reading comics every day, have you lost your mind?"

"Double the homework from now on! Look at Silver Lotus..."

At this point, Shion paused.

Better not look at that one, she's even worse than Keke.

So she changed her words, "You should compare more with your past self, don't be complacent."

Although somewhat saddened by the criticism, Keke still hung her head and nodded, "I understand, teacher."

Somehow, it felt like being subjected to a mixed doubles beating by both big brother and Teacher Shion. So sad.

Seeing that Teacher Shion wasn't criticizing further, Keke, lying on the bed, relaxed a little.

Looking at Teacher Shion sitting by the bed, she curiously touched the dragon tail with her toes, then noticed the tail subconsciously retract slightly.

Seems a bit cute...

Unable to resist wanting to touch it again, her foot slipped and she ended up stepping on it.

Shion immediately looked at her coldly, "What are you doing."

Keke wished she could shrink into a ball, stammering,

"This, that, breakfast... right, how about Italian pasta mixed with No. 42 concrete for breakfast? Because the length of this screw, it can easily directly affect the torque of the excavator. Teacher Shion knows about this too, right? When you hammer it in, in an instant it will produce a large amount of UFOs. These are high-energy proteins. With them, you can leap over any hurdle, greatly affect height growth, and even cause certain Gigantamax pollution to this Beihai and East China..."

Shion tapped her forehead with her tail, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"In short! I, I just thought, teacher, if you really, really, really want to have a couple's life with my big brother, actually, actually you can move in. I don't mind! My house is big, it's fine if teacher moves in. Usually being all lovey-dovey, I'll pretend I don't see it. I usually go to school too, and have Magical Girl work, you two can have your couple's life, and you can also supervise me..."

This way, she could live together with both Teacher Shion and her big brother, which would also be a very happy thing.

If they could live together, things like dragon tails and horns, maybe in the future she could touch them freely...

"No need."

Shion simply retracted her tail and got off the bed, "We broke up."

"Even if you broke up, it's fine, living together..."

She instinctively responded, then the other's words echoed in her mind as she realized their meaning.

Her entire thought process and actions froze.

"Huh?"

......

The matter of the breakup had been brewing for a long time.

When you got down to it, the fact that Jiang Si was Shion's boyfriend was originally a rumor spread to avoid making the Disaster Control Bureau suspicious of and monitor Jiang Si.

Although it later brought a lot of convenience—after all, with the identity of Shion's boyfriend, even leaving to go to some dangerous places wouldn't raise suspicion.

But now, the information that Simo Tu is Jiang Si was becoming increasingly difficult to hide.

That link had instead become a burden.

Simo Tu is Jiang Si, is Shion's boyfriend—once this intelligence was passively spread, it would pose a significant threat to his plan of going ashore to Chongxu.

The identity of Shion's boyfriend had already become an obstacle to the perfect disguise.

Therefore, the matter of breaking up was imperative.

First sword upon going ashore, first cut Shion!

Not only break up, but break up with great fanfare.

As long as the fact that Jiang Si is Shion hadn't spread yet, the room for manipulation was enormous!

After all, from now on, he, Simo Tu, could only utilize pure physical strength. Although his combat power was still commendable, he lacked a decisive, conclusive achievement.

Simo Tu's disguised identity, even infiltrating the Azure Cloud Sect, successfully capturing the Azure Cloud Sect Master Shion, and using the boyfriend identity to obtain massive amounts of intelligence, sabotaging the Azure Cloud Sect's development and various plans.

This achievement was enough to make the Mirror Kingdom and the Witch Association not dare look down on him.

It wouldn't even be strange to directly enter Chongxu based on this.

Although he had absolute trust in his own super intelligence, and this plan was flawless without any loopholes.

But even the wise make mistakes. Just in case, he specifically asked Bingtang about potential loopholes in this plan.

After all, within the Azure Cloud Sect, only Bingtang's brain was not inferior to his own.

"Of course it's possible!"

"Regarding a reasonable justification for Simo Tu's disguised infiltration of the Azure Cloud Sect..."

"Leave it to me, leave it all to me! No problem, I'll handle it. I'll definitely make the Witch Association, the old world, and the Mirror Kingdom believe it without a doubt! This plan is flawless, truly worthy of the Sect Master Celestial Being!"

Bingtang was always so reassuring and instantly understood his meaning.

And soon, just as Shion continued formulating Keke's training plan.

Over at the Azure Cloud Sect, the grand meeting to perfect the Sect Master's infiltration plan officially commenced.

Even Thousand-Pinweed and Bai Mei specifically joined the meeting through Bingtang's mirror.

"Since the Sect Master has already decided to sever this layer of relationship, the first thing we must do is spread the news of Shion and Jiang Si's breakup, and we must ensure this matter has sufficient credibility."

As Bingtang opened the meeting topic, the true-transmissions also started chattering.

"Hmm, directly issue a press release? We could borrow the Disaster Control Bureau's website and media." Four Leaf and Six Leaf said very conservatively.

Yumo was hugging her Shion doll—her rabbit plushie had been shelved by Yumo recently due to the new Shion merchandise—"I, I think we should hold a press conference!"

Super Qinghua finally couldn't hold back a cold laugh, "Naive, too naive, all of you. As expected, the Azure Cloud Sect can't do without me, Super Qinghua..."

Bingtang tapped her forehead, "If you have something to say, say it quickly."

"Lady Bingtang, we must immediately issue a bounty for Simo Tu!"

Following Super Qinghua's confident statement, the surrounding true-transmissions all gasped in shock.

Bai Mei even said in surprise, "Issuing a bounty right after breaking up, wouldn't that make our Sect Master seem a bit petty?"

"Isn't our Sect Master being petty common knowledge?" Thousand-Pinweed immediately chimed in.

Then everyone stared at her. Thousand-Pinweed also shrunk her neck, "I was just saying..."

Bingtang tapped the table, pondering, "We must be careful issuing the bounty. After all, once our bounty is issued, it's a fight to the death, all disciples must take action."

"Precisely because of that, its credibility is high!"

Super Qinghua said excitedly, "Simo Tu disguised himself as an ordinary person, approached the Azure Cloud Sect Master Shion, played with Lady Shion's heart and body, then finally abandoned her after having his way, taking our Azure Cloud Sect's secrets and the seven true-transmissions' intelligence to defect to the old world and the Witch Association! Lady Shion, turning love into hatred, becomes completely irreconcilable with Simo Tu, issuing a life-and-death bounty!"

Hearing this, Bai Mei was filled with deep respect and immediately started applauding.

This plot, perfect! Master will definitely like it!

"Not only must we really issue the bounty, we must really take action. Best if we can let everyone see a major event where our true-transmissions pursue Simo Tu, only for him to escape! This is the Breakup Day Operation!"

Super Qinghua's speech left all the true-transmissions in awe, regarding her as a genius.

Even Bingtang couldn't help but look at her with new respect, "So you're not just someone who only gives suggestions?"

"When have I ever just given suggestions, Lady Bingtang?" Super Qinghua immediately grumbled discontentedly.

Wasn't making Shion and Jiang Si become lovers your doing?

The corner of Bingtang's mouth twitched, but she didn't say it out loud.

After all, she had nodded in agreement to that back then too.

Bingtang then added, "We must find a true-transmission who is willing to let the Sect Master get injured."

Bai Mei immediately smiled slightly, "Looks like it's me."

"No, if you take action, the Sect Master won't just be injured."

After all, the Sect Master couldn't transform. If he really got slashed a couple of times by Bai Mei, it could be fatal.

Yumo raised her hand.

Bingtang also shook her head, "No, Yumo, you wouldn't dare."

Little Yumo, holding her Shion plushie, flushed red for a moment, not daring to refute.

She really wouldn't dare.

"Let me do it."

Thousand-Pinweed snorted, "You all don't want to be disliked by the Sect Master Celestial Being either, right? Anyway, I'm already disliked. Even if I'm disliked a bit more, it doesn't matter. I'll do it."

"The Sect Master won't dislike someone over something like this." Bingtang comforted.

"Whatever, I'll let the Sect Master know the terror of Harry Potter magic!"

With the tasks assigned like this, they also discussed matters regarding the Disaster Control Bureau.

They definitely needed the Disaster Control Bureau to cooperate a bit.

After constructing a complete plan, Bingtang closed her notebook, intending to end the meeting and tell the details to the Sect Master.

"Then, now, the Sect Master's nominal lover, is, is gone."

Little Yumo pressed the Shion plushie against her face, hiding her expression. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Can, we choose another one?"

As these words were spoken, within the Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling, a heavy, pressure-filled silence descended!
