red magic girl

Kotori from the World of Warcraft line nodded, she couldn't imagine how much of the failure and despair of Kotori and Akami Homura who belonged to the Witch World line were hidden in this understatement of comfort.

"And, don't you think it's interesting?"

"interesting?"

"That's right, it's the reason for that child Akami Homura's transformation."

"Ah... So, I seem to be the same as Akami Homura."

From the perspective of Xiaotiaoyou, who is offline in World of Warcraft, Xiao Meiyan, a transfer student from Mitakihara Municipal Middle School who is in the second grade of junior high school, suddenly decided to change her image.

Almost overnight, she changed from a rustic, submissive girl with twist braids to a flamboyant, black, long, straight, beautiful girl, and the effect was comparable to a reverse transformation.

At that time, Xiaotoriyu of the World of Warcraft line thought that Akami Homura was full of confidence because she became a magical girl, and planned to change her image to match her temperament as a magical girl.

But after she read the memories of Bird Tour in the Witch World Line, she realized that the truth is not that simple.

In the loose braids of her hair, there is a sadness that only Kotori can understand.

Behind that beauty is a strength mixed with sadness.

"Yes."

Xiaoniao Youkan from Witch World Line said to herself:

"It's as if we have changed ourselves and matured rapidly because of the death of our mother and the redemption of Xunzi."

"Xiao Meiyan also grew up in an instant because of Kamu Madoka's sacrifice."

"There is a tragic similarity between us."

"After all, they are masters and apprentices..." Little Bird from the World of Warcraft line didn't know what to say up to this point. In the end, she could only sum up and say to herself in the Witch World line: "We are so similar, maybe it is A kind of fate."

Xiaoniaoyou from World of Warcraft propped his chin and thought for a while, then asked the other self beside him:

"Did we succeed?"

Hearing this question asked by himself from the World of Warcraft line, Kotoriyu from the Witch World line stood up.

She turned around and took out one of the video tapes piled up like a hill.

The number marked on it is "72".

She wryly smiled at World of Warcraft

"That depends on what your definition of success is."

Amid such words, the screen reappeared on the TV.

In the picture, it was a rainy night.

In the pouring rain, Xiaoniaoyou and Xiaomeiyan sat together on the roof of a high-rise building under umbrellas.

Chapter 1: Not growing up but numb

On March 2011, 3, in a rainy day in Mitakihara, Kouyu holding a black umbrella, with gauze wrapped around his head, is sitting on the roof of the building.

Today is the fourth day after Akatsuki Homura's reincarnation began, and it rained heavily in Takihara.

Xiaoniaoyou has just undergone a major memory recovery operation, the hole in his head has not healed, and he is still calling for friends.

Xiaoniaoyou felt that his mind was buzzing non-stop, as if it was a karaoke hall.

It's like Little John opened his mouth and sang, his head was buzzing.

As for who made such a brain hole in Xiaoniaoyou's head, it was naturally the unsmiling black long straight girl beside her.

Although another big hole was opened in the head for his master, there was no emotion on Xiao Meiyan's face.

After all, in her eyes, all of this has long been commonplace, and every reincarnation has to happen once a month is a must.

"So, let's not gossip, let's get to the point."

Xiaotiaoyou, while putting his hand into his pocket, asked Xiao Meiyan who was sitting next to him, also holding a black umbrella:

"This time, what is your plan?"

Every time she goes back in time, after the reincarnation begins, Xiao Meiyan has to do three things.

The first thing is naturally to leave the hospital, and leave the hospital as quickly as possible.

The second thing is to find Xiaoniaoyou, and then use the magic of time suspension to send a trivial thank you to her master.

The third thing is to make a plan and discuss with Xiaoniaoyou who inherited the memory, how they should protect Madoka in this week.

Now, Xiao Meiyan has finished the first two things, and only the last thing is left, to discuss the success rate and feasibility of the whole plan with Xiaoniaoyou.

"Regarding this, I still think that first of all we should ignore Ba Mami, and it would be better to let nature take its course."

Xiao Niaoyou was silent for a while, then slowly asked Xiao Meiyan:

"……yes?"

"Is your reason still that Mami is too uncontrollable, the risk of self-explosion is too great, and her excessive trust in QB?"

"Yes, there is also the need to show Madoka the cruelty of the magical girl world through Mami."

After hearing the reason given by Xiaoniaoyou, Xiao Meiyan nodded, and added to Xiaoniaoyou:

"Of course, this is all based on the fact that Madoka has no contact with Mami."

"If the two have not been in contact, Ba Mami is also a good partner, but you can't tell her the whole truth."

Xiao Niaoyou nodded, but did not speak.

Xiao Meiyan then said to Xiaotiaoyou:

"And if Asami is unfortunately killed, then Miki Sayaka's signings will be greatly increased, and [-]% will make a wish to qb to heal Kamijo Kyosuke's arm."

"At that time, as long as we find a way to let Sayaka get in touch with Kamijou in a decent way, she will become more open-minded and willing to cooperate with us,"

"It's the same with Kyoko. Whether she proposes to hire her or let her contact Sayaka, as long as Sayaka doesn't turn into a witch, she will naturally help us, and we can get a reliable combat power."

"The rest of the things can be handled as usual, and their reactions have not changed in any way from the choices we should make."

"Very good." Xiao Niaoyou nodded, pulled his hand out of his pocket, and said to Xiao Meiyan: "The plan is perfect."

In Xiao Meiyan's plan, Ba Mami, Miki Sayaka, and Sakura Kyoko were all clearly arranged by her.

From their respective combat effectiveness and personalities, as well as the important situations they often encounter, such as the death of Mami, the time of Sayaka Witch, and the choices Kotori and the others should make that best suit their goals, these things are known. Mei Yan thought about it.

And this plan has been tested for a long time. The plan Xiaomeiyan is giving now is drawn up by them after going through fifty reincarnations in Zhoumu.

Every plan made in the future, including the plan made now, is always the same. Basically, every time I choose to use or give up Mami, use or give up Sayaka, use or give up Kyoko.

Sometimes they have to give up all three because of the chain effects of their companions' jealousy and becoming a witch.

Xiaoniaoyou also knew that such a thing was quite cruel.

Label, classify and analyze the lives of former companions in this extremely cold-blooded way, and decide to discard and use them...

These behaviors essentially treat Mami and the others as objects, which is anti-human and capitalist.

But this is also true for Xiao Meiyan and Xiaoniaoyu themselves.

"Then it's between us." Xiao Meiyan said to her master: "I don't think we can appear in front of anyone in the form of a master-student pair. Private meetings should be minimized. In fact, it is best this time It's the last time we meet."

"It's a wise thing to do." Xiao Niaoyou said to Xiao Meiyan: "After all, I am the Wuxin Witch. If your current appearance has something to do with the Wuxin Witch, then you really are Barbie Q."

"According to the previous practice, I will sing the bad face, you will sing the red face, I will kill the QB, and you will try to win the trust of others."

"If Mami and the others have a conflict with me, you can measure and choose by yourself, and you can shoot me if necessary."

"I understand." Xiao Meiyan nodded, and then said to Xiaoniaoyou: "I will shoot when necessary."

"Then don't hit it wrong." Xiao Niaoyou said half-jokingly to Xiao Meiyan: "Don't be like the second week, you have to kick the bullet into my brain with your feet, it's really a bit like you Embarrassing, all under the skirt has been seen."

The little bird lobbied here and giggled.

For the current Xiaotiaoyou, comparing the current Akami Homura with the past Akami Homura, it is also a kind of fun to make a joke.

Xiaomei Homura is used to Xiaotiaoyu's jokes. In the first few weeks, she would even explain a few words, which then caused Xiaotiaoyou to laugh even louder. Sometimes Xiaoniaoyou would be amused by herself.

But now she feels indifferent to these things.

Xiao Niaoyou, who had had enough laughing, subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket, but quickly pulled out his hand again.

"I've always been like this." Xiao Niaoyou said to Xiao Meiyan beside him: "I like it when I have nothing to do..."

Just when Xiaoniaoyou was talking and planning to make a few more jokes, Xiaoniaoyou's mouth suddenly closed.

Because Xiaomeiyan took out a pack of cigarettes from the shield and handed it to Xiaotiaoyou.

"Hey, where did you get the cigarettes?" Looking at the familiar Marlboro cigarettes in front of him, Xiao Niaoyou said to Xiao Meiyan with a reproachful tone: "Even if we are already magical girls, but..."

"Xiaotiaoyou." Xiaomeiyan's slightly cold words interrupted Xiaoniaoyou's lecture: "How many times have we reincarnated together?"

Xiaotiaoyou was silent for a while, then said to Xiao Meiyan:

"... 72 times."

"Really?" Xiao Meiyan brushed her hair with her left hand, and said to Xiaoniaoyou:

"In this way, we have repeatedly spent six years in one month. Today, I am almost 20 years old."

"You don't have a birthday again."

"Yeah, but there's no need to take that much into account, is there?"

Xiao Meiyan opened the cigarette case with her slender fingers, took out a cigarette from it, put it gently into Xiaoniaoyou's mouth, then took out the lighter, and said to Xiaoniaoyou:

"At least, there's no need to worry so much in front of me."

Xiaotiaoyou obediently accepted Xiaomeiyan's cigarette lighting, watched her turn on the lighter skillfully, and lit the cigarette in her mouth while protecting the flame with her hand.

The silky and refreshing familiar taste enters the mouth, but Xiaoniaoyou feels complicated.

Smoky and rainy, their two black umbrellas are like two black flowers at a funeral.

Xiao Niaoyou looked in front of him with a complicated expression. In the drifting heavy rain, the undetectable white smoke was formed by cigarettes. He couldn't help but think like this:

【She has grown up...】

【No, it should be said that she is numb...】

As the number of reincarnations increased, Homura became more proficient in using her magic power.

But her heart is getting colder and colder, and Xiaoniaoyou can't tell clearly whether the current Xiaomeiyan still has the shadow of the braided girl back then.

[Is this a good thing or a bad thing? 】

"One more thing."

Xiao Meiyan interrupted Xiaoniaoyou's secret grief, she took out her mobile phone from her skirt pocket, and showed her the news.

"I hope you can take a look at what is written on it."

"……Homicide case?"

Xiao Niaoyou just glanced at the screen, took out the cigarette in his mouth with one hand, and while blowing out smoke rings, he said to Xiao Meiyan beside him:

"Although it's unfortunate, it doesn't seem to have much to do with us."

However, after Xiaoniaoyou glanced a few more times, Xiaoniaoyou discovered the purpose of Xiao Meiyan's message to her.

"Someone wants to kill Madoka?!"

Chapter 2: god is girl

2011/3

Standing on the roof of a tall building in Kazamino City, Kotoriyu watched the news content that Akami Homura showed her earlier on her mobile phone with one eye, and searched for it with the help of the camera of the drone with the other eye. destination.

Just yesterday, when meeting and communicating with Xiao Meiyan who had just started this reincarnation, Xiao Meiyan showed her a very interesting piece of news.

『Kanagawa Prefecture Police Headquarters, Kanto Prefecture, on March 2011, 3, three murders were discovered in Kazamino City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanto Prefecture. 』
