Chapter 37: The Fairy Tale of the Mermaid Princess
Madoka dragged her soaked body through the rain, the biting cold making her shiver. A hesitation to lose the trace of Sayaka makes her feel guilty. I said I wanted to be by my friend's side all the time, but I was shaken because of a little complaint, and I'm really bad.
"Sayaka, where the hell is it?" Walking into the pavilion in the park, Madoka leaned up tiredly. Sorry, my body is a little overwhelmed, let me take a little rest, just five minutes.
"Are you hating me too?" asked Cuppy in a flat tone as he stepped out of the shadows in the pavilion.
Madoka glanced at it and asked rhetorically, "If I hate you, will Sayaka be able to return to her original state?"
"No, that's beyond my means. If there really is an existence in this world that can reverse all this, it is probably only gods. ”
"Gods...... Madoka sat down with a wry smile and asked weakly, "Now, you seem to have said that I can become a very powerful magical girl, is it true?"
"Awesome is just an understatement. Kewpie came to Madoka's side, wagged his tail and said, "According to our calculations, after you become a magical girl, you are fully capable of destroying all witches, which can be said to be unprecedented and powerful. ”
"Then as long as I accept the contract, isn't Sayaka not a magical girl?"
"Sayaka is an established fact as a magical girl, and even if you accept the contract, you can't change it. Cuppy said, "But your presence can fight in place of Sayaka, relieve Sayaka of her burden and pain, and become her protector." ”
"Why me?" Madoka asked, "I'm just an ordinary junior high school student." ”
"I don't know. Kewpie replied, "The scale of your potential should not theoretically exist, and I am the same as you in the desire for answers." ”
Madoka clenched her hands, looked at the rain that kept falling in the sky, and said, "I, ah, have always been a useless person, unable to help others, and useless. I can't study, I can't exercise, and the best result is just to live a life, although some loneliness is also unwilling, but this is helpless. ”
But the reality is quite the opposite. Kewpie said, "Madoka, if you want to, you can also create miracles." ”
"Is it a miracle?" Madoka looked at Kewpie, "If I make a contract with you, can I restore Sayaka's body to its original state?"
"That level of stuff is not a problem at all. After Kewpie said for sure, he asked seriously, "Is this wish okay? Is it worth giving your soul to you?"
"If it's for Sayaka...... Yes!" Madoka stood up: "I'm going to be a magic ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Kewpie's white body was covered with red holes, and then he collapsed to the ground like a rotten doll.
"Ahh Behind her came the sound of metal falling to the ground, and when she turned her head, Xiao Meiyan was standing panting in the rain, and at her feet were a scatter of bullet casings, clearly telling the cause of Kewpie's death.
"Smack!"
The desert eagle that shot empty of bullets was thrown to the ground, Xiao Meiyan clenched her fists and walked over step by step, and said in a suppressed voice: "You, why do you always sacrifice yourself over and over again like this?"
Madoka was frightened, looked at Kewpie's corpse, then at Xiao Meiyan, and said loudly, "It's too much, no matter what, you shouldn't kill it." ”
Xiao Meiyan's hands grabbed Xiao Yuan's shoulders fiercely: "It's useless, everything you do is meaningless." From the moment we became a magical girl, we couldn't be saved! Asami is like that, Sayaka Miki is like that, I'm like that Kyoko is like that, no matter how hard you try, you can't save a group of people who have no future, don't you understand!"
The icy liquid slipped down Xiao Meiyan's face, and I don't know if it was tears or water.
Madoka stared at each other blankly, not knowing what to say at all.
Xiao Meiyan's head rested on Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and she made a crying voice: "Cherish yourself more, if you lose you, someone will be sad." Why can't you notice it, what should the people who want to protect you do?"
"Flame ...... Madoka wanted to hug each other, but Xiao Meiyan fell to her knees weakly.
Xiao Meiyan raised her head, and was about to say something more, but suddenly glanced in another direction.
She wiped away her tears, stood up again, and her tone returned to coldness: "Aren't you still going to find Sayaka? ”
"Huh?" Madoka was stunned: "You...... Is it okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" Xiao Meiyan shouted in surprise.
"Ah, yes. Madoka picked up her bag and walked into the rain again, gradually disappearing in the back of her head.
"You know it's pointless to kill me, you really don't have a long memory. The monotonous voice appeared again, and an intact Kewpie walked into the pavilion: "Although there are replacement ones, I will also be very troubled if they are broken for some reason." With that, it ate up its beaten corpse in two bites.
"It's disgusting. Xiao Meiyan made a cold evaluation.
Cuppy didn't get angry, just said lightly: "This is the second time I've been killed by you, thanks to it, I probably understand your magical characteristics." It's time manipulation, right?"
Xiao Meiyan neither admitted nor denied it.
"Sure enough. Kewpie seemed to get the answer: "You know more about intelligence than the average person, so you shouldn't be from this timeline, right?"
Xiao Meiyan took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "I understand your identity and intentions, and you don't have to try to confuse me through words anymore." ”
"I see, that's why you're obstructing me again and again?" Cuppy nodded: "Judging from your behavior pattern, you want to change the fate of Kamedo, right?"
"Well, that's it. Xiao Meiyan generously admitted: "No matter what, it won't let you get your wish!
……
On the silent platform, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Apricot ran over panting, and was inexplicably relieved to see the blue-haired girl sitting under the billboard.
She walked over, sat down on the seat next to the other party, took out a can of potato chips from her clothes, tore off the seal, poured half of it into her mouth, and said angrily while chewing: "Stupid, do you know how long you will be strong when I have been looking for you for most of the night!"
Sayaka lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you again." ”
"What. Apricot said unexpectedly, "It's really not like your answer, I thought you would have a big fight with me like before." ”
Sayaka sighed, "I'm a little tired." I can't figure out what I'm cherishing and what I want to protect. ”
Apricot said as she threw potato chips into her mouth, "Hey, that's all ...... thing."
"I killed someone. Sayaka interrupted Kyoko.
"What?" Kyoko's movements froze.
"I said, I killed someone. Sayaka repeated again: "Obviously a magical girl who protects everyone, and she wants to be a righteous partner, but she ended the lives of others with her own hands, and I have no meaning to exist." ”
Sayaka opened her clenched hands, and inside them were her soul gems. But unlike the blue of the past, it is now pitch black.
"This ......" Kyoko was completely speechless.
"Hope and despair go to nothing...... That's what you said, right? I can understand that very well now. I did save many people, but I also accumulated resentment and jealousy in my heart, and even hurt my most important friend. ”
"Wait a minute, I still have the seed of lamentation here, as long as I use one of them, I will definitely be able to ......"
"It's useless. If you pray for hope, you will spread the same despair, and we magical girls are like that. Sayaka smiled and left tears: "I'm really a stupid person!"
Tears dripped down and smashed the pitch-black soul gem to pieces. In fairy tales, all tears can be purified, but in reality they can only be used to start a tragedy.
The blue gem exploded violently, turning into the appearance of a seed of lament in an instant, and hope was transformed into despair under the effect of emotion, and this process exploded with a huge energy far beyond itself, directly shaking the apricot out of the air.
She clung to the railing, withstanding the strong wind that could tear everything apart and shouted, "Sayaka!"
"Kill me, please!"
The blue-haired girl makes one last sound, then falls to the icy ground like a puppet with a broken string.
The elegant violin music sounds, and the surroundings turn into a colorful world, which is a familiar sight to Apricot, and undoubtedly a witch's enchantment!
The witch with a human upper body and a fishtail on the lower body let out a cry of sorrow, and the green-haired demon surrounded it and laughed incessantly.
The corpse of the White Knight gave birth to the mermaid witch, as the fairy tale says, she can't get love!
……
"In this country, growing women are called girls, right? Then you who are destined to become witches should be called magical girls!"
Looking at the new enchantment in Takihara, Kewpie said.
