Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"If you are persuading me to become that so-called magical girl, then there is no need to continue."

Golden Darkness did not say her name as Chubby expected, her face seemed to be condensed with eternal ice, and every breath she exhaled was bitingly cold.

【why? 】

"As I said, I have no interest in the so-called saving the world."

The parting words of Kanzaki H. Aria were her shackles, bound by that oath, Golden Darkness could not take the initiative to pursue any form of self-completion, no matter how lost or how painful, she must be like her. Like the last request and entrustment of the lover, "cherish your life well".

Even if she has been wandering in the abyss of despair, she can't seek the relief called "death".

but……

If it was a passive death, wouldn't that count as a violation of the agreement with Aria?

"It would be great if the end you describe could come immediately."

[So, is this your "wish"? 】

……

……

Ok?

[Is the destruction of the world your "wish"? 】

Cupid repeated again.

"……What's the meaning?"

[Or, what you long for is "the end of self"? 】

"I ask what you mean!"

[If this is your "wish"...] Ignoring Golden Darkness's question mixed with anger, Qiubi revealed his own trump card in this negotiation, [I think I can help you Achieved. 】

[As a reward for becoming a magical girl. 】

The golden darkness almost suffocated.

"You...you mean—"

The information revealed in its words made her have some vague guesses.

[Yes, as you have guessed at the moment. ] A gap was knocked into the seemingly unmeltable ice, and from the gap, Chubby could see the torrent of emotion under the ice, 【As long as you sign a contract, I can help you realize your wish. 】

[Even if it is the resurrection of the dead, turning back time, even reversing life and death, reversing cause and effect. 】

【However, let me ask you, is what you are after really "the end of the world" and "the end of the self"? 】

No.

of course not.

Golden Darkness trembled all over her body, and the sudden sense of powerlessness made her take two steps back, almost collapsing on the ground.

If it is possible, even if it is only a one-in-a-million possibility, who will give up that vague hope and seek the relief of "death" in an evasive way?

"I……"

I want to unravel this ominous curse on myself...

"I think……"

Trying to give up this body will only bring the power of misfortune...

"think--"

I want to see her again!

hope.

The girl struggling in the abyss stretched out her hand to catch the light of "hope".

'Ugh……'

The golden darkness suddenly trembled.

As if being poured over her head by a bucket of ice water, a faint sigh that came from nowhere, as if it was just an illusion, woke her up from the dream.

The eager heart cooled instantly, all the temperature and all the colors faded from her world again, and the golden darkness slowly closed her eyes.

Reality is never a fairy tale, even if it is, it is just a dark fairy tale in the adult world.She once believed, believed in the gentleness of the world, and believed that the protagonist could finally have a happy ending, but in the end, she was only betrayed by this neither gentle nor correct world over and over again. Hurt over and over again.

"I do not believe you."

The fourth volume of the black fairy tale: Chapter 201 Chapter 9 Incubator will not lie

[Understandable. 】

Cupid nodded very humanly.

Her reaction was as expected.

After all, to her, these are just rhetoric without any basis. No matter how beautiful the verbal promises are, they are only verbal after all. If these words alone can change the mind of this extremely realistic and snobbish girl, it will actually make her I have doubts.

[So, how can you believe it? 】

"evidence."

Golden Darkness spoke coldly, but even this kind of "indifference" is a welcome change for Chubby, at least she is no longer the impeccable "detachment" who seems to care nothing , as long as there are "emotions", there are "loopholes", which means that there is a possibility of attack.

"Evidence that convinces me."

[I can't take it out, at least not now. 】

Qiubi stretched his waist unhurriedly, as if he couldn't see the golden willow eyebrows that stood upright.Of course it is not in a hurry, the conversation has entered its rhythm now, since it has grasped the direction of the conversation, why should it be in a hurry?

Take your time, lead, lay out, and reap, as it has always done before.A good hunter never lacks patience.

【Until now, apart from you, I don’t have any urgent contracts to sign. 】

"Until now..."

[Exactly, if you want evidence now, I'm sorry, I can't meet your request now. 】

The golden darkness pursed its lips lightly.

As for the "wish" that Chubby called, it is impossible to say that she is not shaken at all. If there is anything that can wake up her soul from the slumber that is close to death, it should only be with that awkward and Pure, proud, yet tender, everything a girl in scarlet is associated with, right?After all, she is not [Darkness]. Although she is born in one body, she does not have the power to tear the world apart. If there is anything that can allow her to break through the barriers of dimensions and touch and hug her lover again, she is willing pay for everything.

Even if it means selling your soul again.

[I have a proposal. 】

The voice of Gujing Wubo sounded like a demon in her heart. It was so plain, but the golden darkness felt as if she was listening to the bewitching whispers of the Serpent of Eden.

[Although I can't immediately prove my commitment, this is not a problem. 】

[You are not the only girl with aptitude, not to mention anything else, there are only two active magical girls in this city called "Mitakihara". If you want evidence, I will always Can call them over. 】

"……not enough."

The golden darkness shook his head.

This level of evidence is still unable to convince her.Since Chubby claims to be the guide of the magical girl, it is very likely that the magical girl and Chubby are on the same side, and she cannot rule out the possibility that they will unite to deceive her.

"Language is too pale and powerless."

[In this case, since you don't believe in "language", then let's change the plan. 】

[Whether it’s supervision or testimony, you can follow me as you like until I find another girl with qualifications again.When you have witnessed the completion of the contract and the end of the wish, under the irrefutable facts, you should believe me, right? 】

"..."

[Why hesitate? ] Chubby tilted his head in confusion, 【This plan doesn't cost you anything, right? 】

Even the brighter sunshine couldn't dispel the coldness here. The shadows of the two inhuman beings were swallowed up bit by bit by the rising sun, distorted like ghosts and monsters.

After an unknown period of silence, a voice hoarse like an old woman resounded faintly.

"you win."

"I promise."

【Wise choice. 】

Nodding his head, Chubby jumped onto the shoulder of the golden darkness as a matter of course.

After hesitating for a while, the strength in his hand condensed and spread out. In the end, the golden darkness acquiesced in its actions.

-

"What is 'Magic Girl'?"

[Using "magic power". 】

"What is 'magic'?"

[The crystallization of "miracle" and "hope", condensed in the most noble fantasy in the human soul. 】

"lie."

【I won't lie. 】

"Then let me ask you, what is the 'witch' in contrast to the 'magic girl'?"

[That is also "magic power", but it belongs to the "magic power" of the "witch".If "magic girl" represents hope, then what "witch" possesses is the power of despair. 】

"...Sly guy."

She reluctantly accepts its explanation.

"What is 'qualification'?"

[Karma and cause and effect.The more karma and karma a person has, the more she is the darling of the world. If the world is compared to a stage play, then she is undoubtedly the center of all events and the well-deserved protagonist , even saying that the world is revolving around her is not out of the question. 】

[For such an existence, after completing the contract, all karma and karma will be converted into magic power by the contract. The more magic power that can be used, the stronger its strength as a magical girl will naturally be. 】

"Karma and cause and effect..."

Jin Zhi'an looked down at her palm, and didn't know what she thought of. At that moment, a complex expression of crying and laughing appeared on her face, but she returned to calm in a blink of an eye.

"So, what's the price?"

[I don't understand, what price are you referring to? 】

"Magic is the crystallization of miracles, so what is the price of performing miracles as a human being?"

【You seem to have misunderstood something. 】

Looking from a distance, at the end of Chubby's line of sight, three girls of pink, yellow, black, three colors are either reserved, generous or shy embrace each other, maybe their expressions are different, but The rays of light that emerged from their eyes were the same.

That is "happiness".

Under the flash, this moment was intercepted from the long river of time, turned into a touchable entity, and carefully preserved in the photo album.

Golden Darkness closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was hit by the flash or stabbed by something else.

[A magical girl is a magical girl. 】

——What is "magic girl"?

——Using "magic power".

The girls over there seem to be preparing to go to the next attraction. Among them, the mature-looking girl who is always smiling softly slightly flicks her hair hanging by her ears, a bit as gorgeous and deep as jewels. A strange luster that flickers on and off between the hair strands.

Chubby, who was squatting on the shoulders of the golden darkness, looked like a businessman looking at the items for sale on the shelves.

[Never been human. 】

Volume 202: A Black Fairy Tale: Chapter 10 Chapter [-] Encountering the Demon

The golden darkness didn't really care about Chubby's "not human" rhetoric.

The reason why she is obsessed with the identity of "human being" is gone. Her shackles, her collar, the heavy and deep chains that bind her humanity so that it will not be lost, have been resolutely left by her. cut off.The current her may not even be called "alive". To put it too much, the current her is nothing more than a living corpse in a skin.

[Sure enough, you are quite a strange existence. 】

Withdrawing his gaze from a distance, Cupid patted the girl's cheek frivolously.

[Generally speaking, normal human beings would not have such a cold reaction when they hear this, right? 】

"I never said that I am human. The emotions you expect are just your wishful thinking."
