"Then... Senior Mami, do you know how witches are formed? More specifically, what is the process?"

Sayaka looked at Mami expectantly.

What she actually wants is for others to give her a positive answer so that she can convince herself.

"Well...I don't really understand that either."

Mami Tomoe looked embarrassed. She didn't expect that Sayaka would stump her for the big talk she just made.

"So even Mami-sister doesn't know?"

Sayaka was a little disappointed.

"Why do you want to know this, Sayaka?"

"Uh, I'm just curious."

"I see... Then I'll ask Kyubey for you next time I meet him."

"Well, thank you, Mami-sister."

Sayaka forced a smile, and after confirming that Kyubey was not here, she stayed for a while and then made an excuse to leave.

After returning home, Sayaka fell on her back on the bed, covering her eyes with her arms, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Kyubey quietly emerged from the darkness, looked at Sayaka's slightly turbid soul gem, and suddenly spoke:

"Sayaka, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Kyubi?! You finally showed up! Explain to me!"

Sayaka glared at Kyubey. If it weren't for it, she wouldn't have been so troubled these days.

"What do you want to ask?"

Faced with Sayaka's questioning, Kyubey was not at all flustered and continued to stare at her with his emotionless red eyes.

"That one that day, was she really a witch?"

"Yes, without a doubt."

"Then why did it end up being a little girl that day?"

After getting the answer she wanted, Sayaka breathed a sigh of relief and then continued asking.

"because……"

Kyubey paused for a moment before continuing:

"Witches are transformed from humans. To be more precise, they are the product of the transformation of magical girls after they become desperate."

"What?!" Sayaka's pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at Kyubey in disbelief.

At this time, Kyubey was standing at the intersection of light and darkness at the door. His originally cute appearance unconsciously became hideous and terrifying.

"You mean, I will become a witch in the future?"

"Yes."

"You're a liar! You're a liar!"

Sayaka yelled angrily.

"I didn't lie to you, Sayaka."

"I don't want to be a magical girl anymore! Change me back!"

Sayaka's eyes were filled with anger of being deceived.

"Once the contract is signed, it cannot be withdrawn. Sayaka, you are a magical girl for one day, and you will be a magical girl for the rest of your life!"

"You bastard!"

Sayaka, with tears in her eyes, instantly transformed into a magical girl, summoned her weapons, and split Kyubey in half with one sword.

But Kyubey instantly revived, ate his own body, and then spoke to Sayaka:

"Becoming a witch is the fate of a magical girl. Why are you resisting?"

"Go to hell!"

Sayaka cut it in half again.

"It's useless. Even if you try to escape, this is the truth."

"Get lost! You lewd beast!"

Sayaka killed Kyubey over and over again, and Kyubey was resurrected over and over again, and then continued to speak to Sayaka in a calm tone.

Finally, Sayaka couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed.

"Wuwuwu... I don't want to become a witch, I don't want to become a monster, I didn't kill anyone... I didn't kill anyone..."

Sayaka covered her face with her hands, tears flowing out from between her fingers and dripping onto the bed.

"Sayaka, why are you so sad? Think about it, if you become a witch, what does it matter if you kill a few people? Isn't it better to accept your fate?"

Kyubey said to her in a seductive tone.

"I......"

Sayaka choked up and couldn't speak.

But her soul gem, which was gradually turning black, showed how she felt.

Neither the man nor the beast spoke, only Sayaka's slight sobs were heard.

But just as Sayaka's Soul Gem was about to turn completely black, a hand suddenly appeared and rested on her shoulder.

"Sayaka, stop crying."

A voice came that made her feel inexplicably familiar and warm. She stopped crying and looked at the voice with tears in her eyes.

"......Who are you?"

"I'm Li Xiao."

Seeing her like this, Li Xiao felt a little distressed.

He used emotional manipulation to calm her negative emotions a little, and took out a Seed of Sorrow and placed it on her soul gem to help purify it.

"I, do we know each other?"

Although we had never met before, the moment I saw him, all the sadness and grievances seemed to leave me, and an unprecedented sense of security emerged in my heart.

"You can say I know him, but you can also say I don't know him."

Li Xiao answered her question ambiguously.

"Do you still want to get involved in this matter?"

Kyubey was not surprised at the appearance of Li Xiao. It had already noticed this person who had been hovering around Xiaoyuan and others.

It also set its sights on the strange power in Li Xiao.

However, because Xiaoyuan has gone through so many reincarnations, the cause and effect entangled in her are too huge, so her priority is higher.

"You've gone too far, Kyubey."

Although he wanted Kyubey to tell the story about magical girls and witches in person, he also didn't want Sayaka to really turn into a witch out of despair.

"Are you going to stop me?"

“Our goals are aligned.”

At least they are consistent about Madoka.

Kyubey glanced at Sayaka, who had calmed down and was hiding behind Li Xiao, looking at it with fierce eyes.

"In that case, why did you stop me?"

"They are also very important to me. I can't let you hurt them."

Kyubey didn't say anything more, just stared at him for a while, then turned and left.

"Whoo~"

Seeing it leave, Sayaka breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, she had already regarded Kyubey as a big boss who was planning some horrible plan.

In addition, she had just failed to kill Kyubey, so she couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

"Thank you!"

Sayaka knelt on the bed and thanked Li Xiao solemnly.

If Li Xiao hadn't appeared, Sayaka felt that she would have probably turned into a witch.

Li Xiao accepted her thanks calmly, and then asked her:

"So what are you going to do now?"

"this......"

Sayaka was at a loss as to what to do. Although the negative emotions in her heart were suppressed by Li Xiao, she felt very uncomfortable whenever she thought about becoming a witch and killing people in the future.

"You already know the truth about magical girls, but your friends don't seem to know it yet?"

Yup!

After his reminder, Sayaka suddenly thought of Madoka and Mami.

"You're right, I have to tell Madoka and Mami-sister about this right away!"

After saying that, she immediately got out of bed, stuffed her white socks into slippers, stood up and prepared to go and inform them.

But just as he reached the door, he remembered something and ran back quickly.

"Um...can you come along?"

She felt that this person who inexplicably gave her a sense of security and seemed to know a lot of inside information was very reliable, and she wanted him to continue to help them.

"no problem."

Li Xiao thought it was time to contact them again, so he didn't refuse.

Sayaka called Madoka and Tomoe to inform them that she had something urgent to discuss with them.

Even though it was getting dark, Madoka and Mami agreed without hesitation.

The location is still at Mami's house.

The three people who had gathered in the afternoon gathered together again, but this time there was one more person, Li Xiao.

"Who is this?"

Mami Tomoe covered her chest, listening to the thumping sound of her heart, her eyes fixed on Li Xiao.

Just like Madoka and Sayaka, after so many reincarnations, Mami will feel a sense of excitement when she sees Li Xiao, as if she fell in love at first sight.

"My name is Li Xiao."

"Li Xiao..."

Tomoe Mami muttered, holding her head which started to ache at the sound of the name.

"I was saved by Li Xiao today, and what I want to talk about this time is related to him, so I asked him to come along, Senior Mami, this should be okay, right?"

"It's okay."

Tomoe Mami shook her head, indicating that it was no problem. Rather, she was pleasantly surprised to meet Li Xiao.

"Sayaka, were you in danger today?"

Xiaoyuan knew Li Xiao, and although she had a lot of questions to ask him, she was more concerned about whether Sayaka was in danger.

"It's okay, Xiaoyuan, I'm fine, right?"

Sayaka has changed from her former carefree self to unexpectedly calm and melancholy.

"After I got home today, I met Kyubey, and he told me..."
