Is my sister a magical girl or a lily!

Yesterday, she came into contact with her dream for the first time—maybe it was not necessarily a nightmare.

It was late at night last night. After her parents fell asleep, she sneaked out of the house and came to the opera house alone.

This was an impulsive and reckless move. She admitted that it was because her dream was denied by Tatsuya, which made her feel strongly unwilling.

But it's not that she hasn't thought about the rationality of this matter. She felt that what she saw in the opera house the night before was definitely the figure of a magical girl.

Then, if you look here again, you should be able to get clues.

——She is extremely persistent in what she cares about.

It is here that this is manifested.

She is willing to risk going out late at night for something she firmly believes exists.

At this point, she decided the risk was worth it.

Because in that late night, she entered the enchantment of the witch again.

Graffiti-like style, a human figure made of cardboard.

The grotesque splits the reality, and the common sense cannot move an inch here.

Like a child's toy box, willful works are thrown everywhere.

The play hadn't even started yet, and the announcer boy ran wildly on the stage, and the curtain puller frantically prevented it from opening the curtain.

The entire stage, and the scissors wielded by the little boy, proved to her that what she saw that day was not an illusion.

She wanted to cheer in excitement, not scream in fear.

She instinctively knew that what existed here should be something much more dangerous than magical girls.

But she was too excited to think of the setting in Da Ye's novel.

Live at speed.

She doesn't shy away from strange cardboard figures at all, and she is not even afraid of the announcer boy who was blown up that day.

Excitedly, she walked through the corridor and stepped onto the stage. Next to the trembling figure of the curtain puller, she lay on the raised curtain and called out to the figure behind.

"Are you a magical girl?"

The figure behind the curtain responded to her voice.

The lighting engineer took advantage of the situation and turned the spotlight down.

The light cut a silhouette on the curtain, allowing her to see the changes behind the curtain.

It seems that the invisible big hand is folding the paper, and the messy shadow turns into a beautiful figure after folding.

The curtain puller took advantage of the situation and opened the curtain.

Her dream stood before her.

The gorgeous long dress in Victorian style was vaguely her dream outfit.

Although this girl in a gorgeous dress has an origami-like angular outline, she still wants to believe that what she sees is her dream.

"Can I become a magical girl?"

She asked the origami magical girl this question with a trembling voice.

The origami magical girl didn't answer her, but gently took her arm and walked to the center of the stage.

The spotlight followed them, making them like the protagonists of the show, showing their demeanor to the audience.

[To achieve your dreams, you have to accept despair.That is a script written by ignorance of dreams】

The music plays, the background cuts out, and the cardboard figures representing the audience blare.

Yumi started the performance as the protagonist, and the origami magical girl took her hand and started dancing.

The announcer boy raised the announcer board at the right time.

Written on it in witch's script:

【The Encounter of Mistakes in the First Act】

Chapter 18 The situation gradually slipping into the abyss ([-])

[The second act is unwelcome...]

The announcer boy who slipped out of the barrier was knocked back into the barrier by Ling Nai's staff.

It is now late at night, not the night when Yumi met the witch, but the night after Tatsuya was rejected by Homura.

He ran to the gate of the opera house just to block the engraved witch's kiss, which is likely to appear here again.

As mentioned before, he has a set of ideas for solving problems, which is to find solutions to problems from the three starting points of "cause, process, and result".

Among them, the starting points of "cause" and "result" have fallen into a state of stagnation.

So at present, he can only use the "course" of not going up or down as a starting point to temporarily alleviate the problem.

What does "pass" refer to?

If "beautiful dream" represents the cause, and "the witch spreads despair causing her to die" represents the result, then "being lured into the enchantment by the witch's kiss" represents one of the "processes".

All he has to do is stop Youyou here so that she cannot enter the barrier.

But this starting point just fits the adjective used to describe "passing through" - neither up nor down.

That is to say, even though he prevented Yumi from entering the barrier today, Yumi did not give up her dream, she would still want to contact the magical girl and the witch, and at the same time, the witch was not eliminated, and the witch's kiss would still lure her into the barrier.

Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, it has to be said that he adopted a rather clumsy and inefficient method.

— is better than doing nothing.

——Besides, I'm exchanging the time of standing still for the time to solve the problem.

The warm wind blows, and the summer night is not so cold, so Tatsuya doesn't have to worry about the drop in body temperature.

The warm wind also seems to have driven away the clouds, and on the translucent night sky, there are bright stars hanging, twinkling, twinkling, bright and colorful.

If he wasn't bothered by the problem, tonight would be a good time to watch the stars with his childhood sweetheart.

Although Ling Nai and he were both under the night sky, they didn't feel that they could do such a pleasant thing in front of the witch's house.

It's summer vacation.

If this matter drags on for a few more days, the final exam will come.

He didn't worry about his academic situation, which was a piece of cake for him.

His childhood sweetheart doesn't need to worry, Ling Nai's grades have always been very good.

What he is worried about is the goal he is currently waiting for. Even if things can be resolved satisfactorily, the beautiful results will definitely be affected.

After all, if she runs outside every night, she will definitely not have the energy to study hard during the day.

This worry is a bit unrealistic, because once the matter is not resolved, he doesn't even need to worry about these things.

Under the silent sky, on the dark commercial street, a small figure finally moved together with the twinkling stars.

——Sure enough, it’s here, beautiful.

Tatsuya and Reina looked at each other, his childhood sweetheart was guarding the entrance of the witch's barrier, and he walked towards the small figure.

The footsteps on both sides approached each other, and the small figure stopped at a position where Tatsuya could just see her clearly.

"Is it... Kame-san?"

Tatsuya had just been able to see her clearly, which meant she had also just been able to see Tatsuya clearly.

She looked bewildered.

"Yo, Yuyou-chan, good evening~"

Tatsuya here waved to her calmly, as if they didn't meet in the night, but greeted her in the classroom.

"W-why is Kame-san here?"

The tone of his greeting was so inappropriate, it made Youmei start to back away unconsciously.

Da also felt a little hurt. After all, Youyou dared to come to the witch in the middle of the night, but she would be afraid of him who appeared here.

Doesn't it mean that he is scarier than the witch, scaring this sickly girl?

"Of course I want to stop a lost girl from breaking into the big bad wolf's lair."

——I always feel that I have become the villain who destroys the dreams of girls. Is it an illusion?

It seems that it is not an illusion, as he approached, the girl also kept backing away, as if facing the enemy.

"This is not a lair! It's a place where I can realize my dreams!"

The weak girl stopped her back steps, and she bravely confronted the villain boss (fog).

The street lamp brought her into the envelope, illuminating her figure.

Like Tatsuya, she was wearing casual clothes, a light-colored dress, and a warm little sweater. If it wasn't for such a night, Tatsuya would definitely feel bright.

"So, Yumi-chan, have you seen the magical girl?"

"Yes, she's in the Opera House!"

"Did she tell you how to become a magical girl?"

"Yes, she told me, as long as..."

"As long as you sign a contract with QB, you can become a magical girl."

"Oh? No, no, it's about accepting trials... Signing a contract or something, isn't it the content of your novel?"

Tatsu also lifted the hood on his head, and also walked under the street lamp, looking directly at Yumi.

He probably guessed the witch's way of seducing grace and despair. If this is an opera house, he can just hold a play for her, chasing dreams and then breaking them.

"Up to now, do you still think that what I said in my novel is all fiction?"

"I... no, it was you, it was you who denied the existence of magical girls!"

"But you've confirmed the existence of magical girls now, haven't you?"

"What does the existence of magical girls have to do with the content of your novel..."

——Very well, she wavered, and if she worked harder, she might be able to make a breakthrough on the "cause".

Tatsuya's continuous questioning diverted Yumi's attention away from her purpose for coming here.

On the other hand, Tatsuya, his goal has already been achieved, or in other words, when he saw Youyu, it was impossible for him to let her enter the barrier.

"Since magical girls exist, why can't the content in my novel be real?"

"...

! ”

After the words fell, Youyou raised her hand and covered her neck.

She wasn't stupid, she had already thought about it after the midday hint.

Koda also denied it at noon, so she couldn't ask the truth, and could only believe in the "Magic Girl" in the theater again.

Things have progressed to the present, but Tatsuya has personally admitted the truth.

——After knowing the truth, cognition will fall into confusion, entangled between belief and disbelief...?

"Kamame-san, did you know about the existence of magical girls from the beginning?! Why didn't you tell me!"

Tatsuya pressed on every step of the way, but he didn't expect a graceful response.

He didn't expect that this sickly girl would rush to him and grab his collar.

—Wait, does that mean she trusts me completely, or doesn't trust me at all?

Tatsuya fell into confusion instead.

"You clearly know, you clearly know my dream!"

Tears flowed down, Yuyou shook Tatsuya a couple of times, and started to cry uncontrollably.
