Yae Sakura!Beep!

But then, he spoke seriously, words that were hard to refute.

"It's not worthless to do so."

The gleam in her eyes made her suddenly have an indescribable emotion.

Perhaps, that is the longing.

I am looking forward to this kind of her.

Because ah...

Really, it's dazzling.

…………

If you think of everything too beautifully, the result will be disappointment in the end.

Even, despair.

That is not a force that human beings are strong enough to resist.

Her body alone shrouded the entire city in shadow. Compared to the witches she met in the past who always hid in barriers, the weirdness in front of her didn't need any barriers to protect herself.

Because for it, this world is its enchantment.

"Then, I'm on."

She looked at the body of the yellow-haired girl who had made no sound on the ground, suddenly stood up and said.

"Why!? Even Senior Ba is dead!"

What was your mood at the time?

"That's why I'm going."

Even in such a desperate situation, she never shed a single tear, nor said a word of giving up.

"Because, the only one who can stop the Night of the Witch is me."

The figure that never flinches, as always, stands in front of her, blocking all wind and rain.

"Impossible! There is no way for one person to defeat that thing!"

"Madoka, you will die too!"

Even so, she was unwavering.

"Even so, I'm still a magical girl... I have to protect everyone."

The tears in her eyes blurred her vision, she lowered her head, little by little crystals dripped onto the transparent lenses, reflecting her deep purple eyes.

Still that cowardly look.

"Run away... because there is no other way! No one will hate Madoka!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, she turned around.

"Homura, I am very happy to be friends with you. I was able to catch up with you when you were attacked by the witch. Until now, I am also proud of it."

It was still that dazzling smile, and that gentle tone.

"So I think it's great to be able to become a magical girl."

Looking at the huge monster floating in the air in the distance, she didn't look back.

"Goodbye, Homura, then."

…………

Such a result is actually inevitable.

Kneeling beside her petite body that would never move again, she was so weak and useless that she couldn't cry.

Obviously, there is no need to do that.

Obviously, I hope to let you live.

…………

If, after signing the contract, any wish can come true.

She raised her head, gritted her teeth, and wiped away the tears in her eyes.

Only at this moment, she was unwilling to be cowardly anymore.

If it is possible, if anything can be achieved.

"I want to meet Madoka again, not as me being protected by her, but as me protecting her!"

At that moment, her prayer surpassed everything else.

Even, time.

Section 234. Is the 159th string of the same kind...?

Consciousness gradually sank in confusion, thinking stagnated at the moment after the sensory system was forced to close.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, but it also seems to flow only for a moment.

Her soul was invaded to the depths by some incomprehensible existence.

The memories that have been buried for a long time are constantly being searched out.

Everything, every day and every moment that has been experienced, reappeared on the surface of her consciousness.

Unstoppable, irresistibly recalled.

Every piece of beauty that you want to hug again but can't touch, every piece of sadness that you want to forget completely but must be remembered.

Her soul began to tremble, and painful emotions began to wrap her tightly.

Once again, another impotent reincarnation.

Time and time again, it weighed on her.

Until a certain moment, just before she was on the verge of collapse.

Snapped!

The existence that invaded her soul was interrupted by something, and the warm and soft feeling rushed across the surface of her consciousness, fleeting.

"enough!"

The white-haired girl who was pressing on her opened her gorgeous pale red pupils, and gave a soft reprimand.

The bright red tentacles wrapped around the black-haired girl's limbs suddenly lost all strength, and the next moment they became stiff, they suddenly broke apart like mist.

The white-haired girl pushed her away, got off the sofa and stood up.

She frowned lightly, took a step back a little unsteadily, put one hand on her forehead, and rubbed it gently.

The red mist that had dissipated appeared again, and a girl with bright red hair appeared beside her.

"Tsk! You woke up at the wrong time."

With her mouth curled, she seemed upset.

"You shouldn't be doing this, mi..."

The opened and closed lips froze, unable to say the next syllable.

Tong Tong's eyes widened slightly, it wasn't that she couldn't speak, but she just didn't know what she was going to say next.

It seemed to be just a very, very vague impression. She forgot something, and only remembered that maybe it was a habit she had.

mi...what?

"Ah!"

With a sneer, the girl didn't have the slightest sense of what she did wrong.

Because she saw some unpleasant memories, her mood seemed not to be calm, so naturally she didn't hear Hitomi's hesitant to speak.

She is like this, sharing the pupils of all her senses just after waking up, so naturally.

Hastily regaining control of her body, interrupted the girl's pupils, and bit her lower lip lightly, a kind of sympathetic sadness made her unable to bear to look at Xiao Meiyan.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her hair, which was as deep as ink, was spilled on the sofa, messy, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and the breathing was coming and going back and forth between her lungs, and the movement of her undulating chest was getting bigger and bigger. Difficulty breathing as if lacking oxygen.

Hitomi's eyes paused, and they settled on the back of Xiao Meiyan's hand.

There was a gem tightly embedded there, and the originally pure deep purple gradually became turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"She's going to lose it."

She hurried forward and grabbed the back of Xiao Meiyan's hand.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

The girl standing behind her didn't take it seriously.

"Anyway, you won't let me talk to someone who hasn't become a witch yet, will you?"

She spread her hands, and her words were full of malice.

"..."

Without saying a word, Hitomi frowned tightly, and the hands holding the back of Xiao Meiyan's hands began to emit a faint light.

"Hey……!"

Knowing what she was doing, the girl took half a step forward, but just as she uttered a word, she hesitated again and stopped her movements.

After reading those memories, she felt a different kind of emotion.

"whispering sound!"

She was too lazy to stop it, and she didn't want to watch it any longer, so her figure dissipated, and the blood mist drifted away and disappeared.

Not paying attention to the movement behind him, Hitomi carefully relied on the sadness that had not completely calmed down, and used her ability again.

A veil that only exists in concepts, has no entity, does not exist in any sense of space, and cannot be observed by any means, wraps Akami Homura's mind.

This has been created countless times. Even if you stop thinking and lose your memory, you can still use it instinctively. It is what she named "Curtain of Deceit".

In terms of material effects, it can be as small as covering up the visual feedback produced by others to a pair of ears, and as large as hiding the nature of a person's existence.

In terms of non-material effects, it can be as small as obscuring the memory of a person's soul, and as large as deceiving the entire world's perception of time.

And what she has to do now is to make Xiao Meiyan temporarily forget all the memories that can give her the ability to think.

Covering Xiao Meiyan's memory with a curtain of deceit, the blank soul immediately lost the meaning of thinking, and there was no despair.

But that wasn't enough to stop her witching, or go back.

There are two ways for a magical girl to become a witch.

Consume the magic power to make the soul gem dirty, if you can't get the seeds of lamentation to absorb the dirt in the soul gem, those dirt will make the soul more and more pessimistic, resulting in despair, until the critical point, it will collapse and degenerate into a witch.

Pessimistic emotions and thoughts of despair are produced by one's own will, which causes the soul gem to become dirty, full of despair, and then collapses. Like the former, it degenerates into a witch.

In this second case, the seed of lamentation is useless, because the turbidity is not caused by excessive use of magic, but because of the despair of its own will. The seed of lamentation can absorb the filth, but it cannot produce optimism, nor Magical girls cannot lose their pessimistic thoughts.

Even if the filth in the soul gem is completely absorbed, the next moment, the filth will continue to be produced continuously.

Hitomi has now stopped Xiao Meiyan from thinking about despair, but the filth in the soul gem will not disappear naturally. In this state, she can absorb the filth without any worries.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Hitomi covered the deep purple soul gem with her hand, but this time, she couldn't see any light coming out.

She didn't use that ability of hers.

After all, the seed of lamentation is, after all, just a soul.

…………

"Ha--! Huh--"

His eyes widened, as if he was a drowning person rescued ashore, gasping for breath, a feeling of surviving a catastrophe welled up in his heart.

"Are you OK?"

A soft voice came from beside her, obviously that voice was so pleasant, but Xiao Meiyan couldn't help feeling a kind of fear, her body froze, and while she stepped back to the side, her eyes vigilantly looked towards the direction of the sound .
