Yae Sakura!Beep!

"Is that kind of thing...really, possible?"

She gently closed her eyes to hide the emotions she might show.

"If it was normal, Chubby, he probably would have jumped out to explain it long ago."

Sakura Kyoko didn't answer, she jumped to another topic.

As she said, nearly 10 minutes have passed, and the place is still quiet. The Chubby that should have appeared has been missing, and it is completely different from the setting it showed at the beginning.

"Being treated as an abandoned child, we..."

It's just a tool, what that guy said is true.

"That bastard...! Has he been lying to us all this time?!"

Suppressing emotions that she didn't know whether it was anger or sadness, Sayaka clenched her fists tightly.

She leaned against the wall to stand up.

But his arm went limp, and his body fell to the ground again.

"This kind of thing...such a thing...how is it possible..."

Listening to the low voice beside her, Sakura Kyoko raised her head and looked out the window.

That's right, how could it be possible to become a witch...

Then what we have been doing all this time, what is it for...

…………

"Sakura, if you stay here in the rain, you'll catch a cold."

Still in that place, Sakura, who was in a daze, was brought back to her senses by Asami's voice.

"Ah... sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Sakura shook her head lightly, her messy hair had already been soaked by the rain and became heavy.

Blinking her eyes, the heavy rain fell on Ba Mami's face, making it difficult for her to see things clearly.

"Sakura, if you're really worried, go ahead."

Even under such circumstances, she could still clearly see the expression on Sakura's face.

She has been hesitating and struggling, how could Ba Mamei, who has been with her for a long time, not see it.

During this time when Hitomi ran away from home, Asami had seen enough of Sakura's emotions.

In the past, Ba Mami didn't know that people like Sakura would sometimes be indecisive.

But she didn't know that, in fact, Sakura was such a person.

Until now, this temperament has not changed.

"...Mami, what about you?"

With hesitant steps, Sakura suddenly asked.

"I...I have something, I want to confirm with Qiubi."

Looking around, the white creature had disappeared long before they came out of the witch's barrier.

A lot of questions piled up in her heart, but she never said them out, which made Ba Mami worry a lot.

She wanted to know whether what 'Xiaotong' said was true or not.

Chubby, how many things are hidden from her.

After finally purifying the soul gem with the seed of lament, Ba Mamei regained her confidence again.

She's going to ask Chubby to find out.

But just when the two were about to confirm their respective actions, two waves of magic power that Ba Mami felt very familiar suddenly came from a distance in no particular order.

An ominous premonition that made Ba Mamei's heart almost stop suddenly came to her heart.

The source of the magic fluctuation was almost in the same direction as Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko.

…………

In the dark corridor of the building, the continuous rain covered up many noises, creating a different kind of tranquility.

But it was a noise, but in fact, it was just the heavy breathing of the two girls.

"Do you regret it?"

Sakura Kyoko broke the quiet atmosphere.

It wasn't the first time she asked this question, but each time, her mood was different.

"..."

Sayaka didn't speak, but turned her head and glanced at her silently.

"That wish? I've said it many times, and I haven't regretted it."

Just when Sakura Kyoko thought Sayaka would not answer, the latter suddenly spoke.

"Even now?"

Slightly closing her eyes, Sakura Kyoko raised her head and asked again.

"what……"

Nodded, then shook his head again.

"If I have to say it, I will regret why I made the contract without asking clearly."

She also looked up.

"But if you want to ask if I will choose another wish under the premise that I must make a wish."

The corners of the mouth are slightly curved.

"will not."

His eyes fell on the big French windows, and he penetrated to see the layers of dark clouds in the sky.

Dark clouds like lacquer and ink covered the entire Mitakihara, and the endless rain seemed to submerge the entire city, which made people feel powerless.

"Hey."

She looked at it, and suddenly spoke.

"Tell me, if an umbrella had a soul, what would it be like?"

Some weird questions came to Sakura Kyoko's ears, causing her pupils to tremble.

"I don't know what it will think, I only know that it must be very tiring to protect others from the rain all the time."

While speaking, she cast her eyes on Sayaka's eyes, and after seeing the direction she was looking at, she also looked there.

"But, that's the proof you need."

Hearing the voice coming from her ear again, Sakura Kyoko smiled softly in her heart.

In such heavy rain, even an umbrella is useless.

"What if the rain stops?"

She said something completely different from what she thought in her heart.

"Isn't it nice? You can see the sun..."

Sayaka finally smiled, she still looked at the sky.

"How wonderful..."

But the soul gem in his hand gradually became darker.

"Even after that, will it be thrown aside?"

Sakura Kyoko also clenched the soul gem in her hand, covering the deep darkness with her five fingers.

"There will definitely be, the next rain, the next, people who need umbrellas."

In the voice, I don't know when it started, and it was stained with a painful hoarseness.

"Sure enough, I still can't agree...you, what an annoying idiot."

Gritting his teeth lightly, the pain that tore his heart and lungs rose like a phantom pain.

It was a pain for which there was no reason, a pain that rose from the soul.

"Me too... You guys are not likable at all."

Black mist drilled out from the soul gems of the two of them. The originally smooth gemstones shattered and collapsed in. The decorative lines embedded on the surface stood up and turned into sharp spikes.

The blue and red light has all faded away.

A huge enchantment appeared in this building.

The mermaid princess sings and dances on the stage.

A white horse with a broken horn treads among the lights.

…………

If hope is given.

"Apricot..."

You will reap the same despair.

"Ah, I've been..."

So is such a prayer considered a miracle?

…………

The mermaid princess is cursed. She wanders in the concert hall with only one person all her life. The gear of fate can no longer move forward. She has lost her future, unable to convey everything, and unable to understand everything.

The stray unicorn cut off its horns and burned itself. It has forgotten why it was dedicated and what it was destroyed for. Today, she has long since abandoned everything, and even the past has long been forgotten.

Legend has it that the princess was not a mermaid, but was cursed and lost her legs, so she could never set foot on land.

Legend has it that the horn of a unicorn can undo any curse and cure any poison.

But except for the unicorn, no one knows that the price for cutting off the horn is death.

And no one except the mermaid princess knew that before she was cursed, she was just a dying little fish.

verse 250 verse 175 the ribbon that binds life

When did it start?

Was it when you found out that there was something wrong with Chubby?

Or a week ago, in the witch's enchantment in the movie theater, when you noticed something abnormal?

Or, the day Sayaka had an accident and was forced to make a wish?

She should have known.

In this world, there is no desire at all.

The so-called miracle is just a lie.

If one day, I suddenly realize that my life is just a ridiculous deception.

If one day, I suddenly find that the belief I have always insisted on is just a self-deceiving joke.

So, is there any meaning for us to continue living like this?

Is there any difference between such a magical girl and that witch?

…………

In front of him were two girls sitting on the ground.

They were shoulder to shoulder, with their backs leaning against the wall, their heads close together, their blue and red hair intertwined, hanging on their shoulders close together, like a ball of soaked thread.

With their eyes tightly closed, they are like a pair of exquisite and perfect twin dolls, even the smile on their lips is so similar.
