EP 166. Tangled Sister Bei

Shi Xiaolei and Kangna heard something novel, and Bayonetta recalled the past. Neither the listener nor the storyteller paid much attention to the conversation tonight.

But the time has advanced to two days later...

"Bayonetta, what are you thinking about?"

Carrying a cup of coffee, Shi Xiaolei came behind Bayonetta and gently reached out his hand and patted her shoulder.

Standing quietly in front of the window, looking at the recuperating girls on the lawn below, Bayonetta silently took the coffee cup and took a sip unconsciously.

Bitter and slightly sour, the warm coffee slipped into her mouth, finally causing a slight change in Bayonetta's expression.

"Oh~~~." A heavy sigh, full of entanglement and hesitation.

Why does Bayonetta look so worried now?

Let's rewind time back a few hours.

At the end of the business day and before closing the store door, Colson came to the store as scheduled. As agreed before, today was the day that he took Shi Xiaolei, Bayonetta and Stark to visit the girls in distress.

As for why we choose after-hours business, that’s because the secret sanatorium where the girls are temporarily staying is not in the United States, but in the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. When night falls in New York and the restaurant closes, Hawaii It's still two or three in the afternoon. Ask Sister Bei to open a portal at this time, just in time for a visit, and at the same time, it will not delay the business of the store.

I thought there would be no surprises. After meeting the girls, I accepted their thanks and turned around to leave.

But what people didn't expect was that after the girls met the three people, they suddenly made a request - hoping that Bayonetta and Shi Xiaolei would accept their followers and let them stay with them as maids and devote themselves to them. For the rest of my life, I will repay the kindness of saving my life.

Well, not only Shi Xiaolei and Bayonetta didn't expect it, but Stark also didn't expect it... And judging from Coulson's reaction, the girls' decision should have been discussed behind SHIELD's back. Obviously Nor was it within the scope of their assumptions.

The situation happened suddenly. As the requested party, how should Shi Xiaolei and Bayonetta make a decision?

Either provide funds, or help contact places. In short, Shi Xiaolei never thought of accepting it, but wholeheartedly planned to help these girls regain their status as ordinary people, let them reintegrate into society, and enjoy ordinary and simple daily life again.

On the contrary, Bayonetta, who was never procrastinating, got into trouble.

To talk about why... among these girls, there is a girl who looks exactly like Cinderella.

That's right, it's exactly the same. Not only the appearance, but also the height, hair color, voice, and even a small birthmark on the arm were all exactly the same, no different from the friend in Sister Bei's memory.

It's so similar that people can't help but think about it. What's more, Bayonetta is a witch and has witnessed instances of 'reincarnation' with her own eyes.

Moreover, the prototype story of "Cinderella" was told to Shi Xiaolei just the day before yesterday, which brought back memories of the past.

"..." Seeing Sister Bei so entangled, Shi Xiaolei sighed secretly.

As the head of a family, he must take on the responsibility of solving problems for his family members. After thinking about it, Shi Xiaolei said, "If it doesn't work out, let's arrange for them to go to the manor. The place there is big enough, so we don't have to worry about not being able to accommodate them. , someone lives there to help take care of it, and it can save the cost of finding a housekeeping company, so it’s quite cost-effective.”

"No, you misunderstood." Bayonetta shook her head: "I'm not worried about how to place them... I'm wondering whether I should try to train them."

"Um?"

"That one." Pointing to a certain girl on the lawn, Bayonetta said calmly: "The one with blond hair and a ponytail. She looks exactly like the Cinderella I mentioned the day before yesterday. I think , she may be the 'different time and space entity' that Master Ancient One once told me."

"A different time and space homotopic? What do you mean?" There was probably some speculation in his mind, but Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Maybe she is the Cinderella I know, but in this world, she was born hundreds of years later." After a pause, an inexplicable look flashed in Sister Bei's eyes: "If that's true. …”

"You mean, she also has the potential to become a witch? Wait, didn't Cinderella fail to awaken?" Shi Xiaolei scratched his head: "Since I didn't succeed, then she...will succeed? The probability should be Not big, right?"

"I don't know." Sister Bei shook her head: "I can only say that the success rate is much higher than that of ordinary people... Provided that I did not identify the wrong person, she is indeed Cinderella in this world."

"Then... try it?" Bayonetta herself hadn't realized it yet, but as a bystander, Shi Xiaolei had already heard what was going on in her heart: "Anyway, besides hunting monsters, you don't have much else to do. For important things, I have plenty of free time. The best thing is to take some time out and train her. If you can achieve the best, there is no loss if you don't, right?"

"You think too simply. Training a candidate witch is not that easy." Bayonetta shook her head: "In addition to time, you also need to prepare a lot of things, such as medicine for healing and recovery, and help them A magic potion to develop mental power, a training ground that will never be disturbed by the outside world..."

Although he debuted very late, not long after he became a witch, he encountered the "Witch Hunting" incident that led to the complete demise of the witch clan. He has never guided anyone else to learn witch training courses in his life, but this does not mean that Bayonetta doesn't know the ropes.

After all, he is also someone who has ‘went to school’.

No, based on her own experience, Bayonetta quickly organized the course schedule in her mind, recalling the various materials needed during the training process, as well as some points that needed careful attention.

"...I know the formulas for potions and stuff, and it's not difficult to make them. You can also make some of the props you need by yourself." Frowning, Bayonetta sighed: "The key is that the training venue is hard to find. … When I say ‘not subject to outside interference’, I not only refer to unrelated outsiders, but also include radio signals.”

"Radio signal?" Shi Xiaolei's eyes widened with surprise on his face: "That's not true~"

"Unlike the mages of Kamathai, in the training process of witches, sensing and refining magic power is a very important course. Although the impact of external radio signals on the fluctuation of magic power is not great, it will not hinder Kamathai. The training of Master Ji, but for the more sensitive witches, it does bring some drag."

After saying this, Sister Bei sighed: "Oh, let's forget it. In this day and age, there is no place that is completely unaffected by radio waves."

"...It's not impossible. At least I know a place that should meet this condition."
