Chapter 8: You in Memories (II) - Staying Together

- Black Twist in Sleep——————

"What's wrong? Yes...... If you take a break from school for a while, remember to borrow notes from a friend and read them."

……

"I'm obviously a glasses girl.,Looks very smart."

"I've been hospitalized, but I'm always there when I'm studying."

"I just don't want to come to school."

……

"No, I'm really not in good health! I wanted to go to school, but ......"

A dark world, with piercing words constantly ringing in my ears,

Black Twist tried her best to refute, desperately explaining but to no avail

At the same time, a cold aura behind him was gradually approaching......

- Womb Waste, Find, Find, You, Oh-

"I'm anemic just by preparing for gymnastics, my body is really bad"

"I've been lying down for half a year, I can't help it"

……

"No, it's not, listen to me. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There was no response this time, only deeper darkness

……

On the other side, while guarding the black twist flower sleeping in the health room,

Communicate with Asami through a spiritual connection

[If you think that magic can do anything, it's a big mistake.,And if you use magic, the soul stone will become turbid and need to be purified.,The seed of sorrow is not infinite.,Meaningless things still have to be avoided.]

[I just want to help her]

[Whew, the mood is understandable, but there are still other methods, right?] 】

【En......】

[Magic is only a last resort, don't forget that]

[I'm sorry......]

"Magic ......"

A slight murmur sounded in his ears, and Lu Muyuan looked at the hospital bed in surprise

Black Twist took the initiative to sit up and asked after making a round

"Kame-san, this is here?"

"It's the health room, and there's a lot going on in physical education class."

"Many things...... Well, I'm causing trouble for others again."

- Really, it's a troublesome kid -

The ghostly cold voice sounded again,

But neither the black twist nor the deer eyes seemed to have heard it.

"It's not Yan-chan, I ...... just now"

Shikame Yuan was anxious to explain, but was directly interrupted by the black twist

"I'm sorry...... Thank you very much for today! ”

After getting down from the hospital bed and bowing deeply to Lumeyuan, the black twist ran straight away.

"Flame Sauce ......"

[Kame-san, let her stay alone today, I think your courageous character is very good, but, at this time, wouldn't it be better to take it a little slowly? 】

【Sister Mamei ......】

[Even if you don't use magic, you can be good friends with that child]

[I...... Yes! The Soul Stone is responding again! 】

"It must be the witch looking for prey"

A sudden state of emergency, as an intermediary of the psychic connection, Kewpie had to intervene in the conversation

"Ah, Kewpie?"

The white creature with the gold ring on its ears jumped on Madoka Shikame's shoulder

"There's something up around here, you guys should feel it, right?"

[Let's go find the witch!] Asami made a decision immediately

"Yes!"

—————— Dividing Line——————

"Da~Da~Da~" The empty and unmanned street, only the sound of weak footsteps

"What should I do?"

Black Twist couldn't help but mutter

……

"It's nice that Flame-chan is getting handsome, too."

……

Thinking of the child's words, Black Twist smiled wryly

"No, I can't do anything, I just cause trouble to others, I'm ashamed."

The black twist who was just walking with her head down didn't notice that the scenery around her was quietly changing......

"What to do? I'm going to do it forever......"

- Then it's better to just ~~~ die -

World...... distorted,

The original real world is painted with abstract colors, which is extremely strange

Black Twist heard the voice just now, but at first thought it was her own heart

As if hypnotized, he replied to the rhythm of "the other party".

"Is it better to die......

"That's right, it's better to die~"

The unknown voice immediately replied,

Black Twist had already sensed that it was not her own voice, but she had a sense of serenity and calm.

It doesn't matter whose voice it is anymore,

I always feel that if I listen to that voice, I can get rid of all my worries

At this time—

The black twist suddenly woke up and looked around, but it was not on the iron bridge just now

At some point, my feet were covered with stone slabs with strange human shapes

The crimson sky is not the clouds of the real world at all

There was a chilly laugh coming from all directions......

With the sound of the ground shaking, a huge stone gate suddenly appeared on the flat ground

The black twist flower was shaken to the ground by the violent vibration, and when she came back to her senses, she found it

I don't know when I was surrounded by a group of monsters like abstract paintings and graffiti,

Black Twist hugged her head in fear

"So, go die"

"No...... Don't, ahhhhh ”

At the moment when the black twist flower screamed, several brilliant rays of light wrapped the black twist flower,

At the same time, countless yellow silk threads tightly wrapped around all the graffiti monsters,

Tie them to the stone door and be unable to move

"Just in time"

Black Twist looked up and found two young girls in gorgeous costumes standing in front of her

A young girl in a yellow ruffle dress,

Another small girl in a cute pink costume is smiling at the black twist

"It's all right, Hoko-chan"

That gentle look, familiar smile, seems to have been seen somewhere

"You, you're—"

Black Twist asked in an inexplicable trembling voice

"They're magical girls, and they're witch hunters."

A lovely voice came from behind, and Black Twist turned her head to see a pure white creature with big pink eyes and golden rings in her ears

"Witch-hunter?" Black Twist muttered to herself

"If you're not careful, you'll reveal your secret."

The pink-haired girl with a warm smile said a little shyly

"Remember to keep it a secret from your classmates!"

As he spoke, Shikame-en pulled the huge bow in his hand,

The girl in the yellow ruffle skirt also raised a silver-white gun,

The two tacitly combined forces to shoot at the monsters,

With a roar, the monsters vanished in a myriad of pink and yellow lights.

The original distorted world has gradually returned to reality,

A black gem engraved with a strange pattern slowly fell from the sky,

The two girls who were originally dressed in gorgeous costumes also changed back to the appearance of ordinary people.

Looking at the two smiling in front of her, Black Twist thought that it was just a nightmare just now......

————Asamiya————

Kame-matsu, Ba Asami, and Black Twist talked while eating dessert and drinking black tea

"Kame-san, do you always fight with that kind of monster?"

"Well, if you want to say it all the time, although Sister Mamei is a veteran, I only signed a contract with Kewpie last week"

"But the way you fight today is much better than before, Kame-san!"

"Hehe~" was praised by the senior sister, and Lumu Yuan was a little happy

"It doesn't matter, it won't ...... Scared? Black Twist worried

"It's not that it doesn't matter, although I'm scared, but if I hit the witch, there will be a lot of people who can be saved because of it, and it's worth doing!"

Working hard for others, as long as it can help others, it is valuable and meaningful.

This is also the value of Kamedoka.,Even if she doesn't become a magical girl,She'll do it!

"Kame-san, before the night of the witch comes, you have to work hard until you can be on your own!"

Seeing that the juniors were so scrappy, Asami, who was a senior, couldn't help but remind

"Witch...... Night? "I don't know why, but just hearing the name feels ominous.

"Well, it's a fair-like event in the wizarding world!"

"Anyway, don't go out during a giant storm."

Kamedoka and Ba Asami said to the black twist very seriously,

The latter nodded as if he didn't understand

"Isn't Kame-san going to say something to Xiaomei-san compared to this?"

Thinking of something, Asami, who changed the topic by the way, reminded Kamedoka of words

"Yes"

"Huh?" The topic jumps slightly, and the black twist is still in the clouds.

"Well, Hoko-chan, it's about today's gym class...... That's, it's all my fault for using magic on Flame-chan."

The apologetic Kameka lowered her head with some self-reproach

"That's ......"

"Well, I'm really sorry, because I saw that you were very depressed, so I wanted to use magic to cheer you up, but I didn't grasp the ......"

No wonder the weak body suddenly erupted, no wonder there was such an unbelievable thing

- It's all a miracle caused by magic

Black Twist sighed secretly in her heart

"Thank you, Kame-san" Unexpectedly, the black twist smiled

"Hey?"

"Although I was really at a loss when I couldn't stop, I was really happy when I succeeded in the high jump, so thank you so much!"

"Flame Sauce ......"

Don't ask for too much, even once,

To be able to do things that are taken for granted and experience simple happiness like ordinary people,

- Just being able to smile like that

Even such a simple thing can only be pinned on the magic that creates miracles,

But if magic can really work miracles, magic can grant people's wishes......

Black Twist hesitated for a moment

"If you become a magical girl, you can make people happy in various situations!"

- I also want to work miracles

INTERVIEWER I also want to be able to work for others

- I also want to live like such a dazzling person in front of me, even if it is imitation, it seems that I can find the meaning of life.

"Well, yes, Flame-chan is going to be a magical girl too?" Lumu Yuan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this

"Is it so easy to do?"

"Okay, Kewpie?" Madoka Kameka turned her head and asked

"Basically, all I have to do is make a contract with a human to fulfill a wish in exchange for the work of a magical girl, and that's true if it's a simple thing."

The white creature curled up on the windowsill replied in a leisurely and uncaring tone,

Hearing such an answer, just as Black Twist was eager to try, Sister Mamei, who had been listening for a long time, finally couldn't sit still.

"It's not easy!"

The teacup was put back on the coaster, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy, interrupting the duo's fantasies

"Huh?"

"Sister Mamei?"

"Ordinary life after becoming a magical girl is a completely different scene.,To bear the fate of fighting with a witch.,No one knows when such a battle will end.,There are a lot of dangerous things.,If you become a magical girl with half-consciousness.,You'll regret it!"

In the tone of a senior who has come over,Ba Asami very objectively described the future that the magical girl has to face.,

It's not that you don't want to add another companion, on the contrary, you will need more companions in the intensity of the battles you will face in the future.

But this is not a reason to make a hasty decision.

Asami she is more concerned about the wishes of the parties,

Step into the "world" of magical girls for the happiness of others

If you just "regret" your decision, the ending is not too bad......

"Also...... Yes" Kamedoka, who didn't think too much, was a little regretful, and the whole person began to be depressed.

"Well, it's almost over, it's late at night" Finding that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Asami, who looked at the wall clock, decided to end the topic.

"Okay, thanks for the hospitality"

"Thank you very much"

The two stood up and packed up and prepared to leave,

However, when Sister Ma Mei sent the two to the door, she suddenly remembered something, and gently slapped her left palm with her right fist

"Oh, by the way, I remembered something."

"Well, what's the matter, Sister Mamei?"

Black Twist and Kameyuan had already changed their shoes in the hallway, and looked at Ba Asami when they heard the words

"Kame-san, do you remember the name I gave you for your nirvana yesterday?"

"Uh...... That one...... Senior Sister ...... You mean......"

The black twist on his side unexpectedly found that his friend Lu Muyuan's whole person was gray?

"Well~ a rare opportunity, you have to take advantage of it, next time remember to shout it out loud, don't be afraid, shout it out, I thought about it all night before ......"

"Whoa, whoa...... Sister Mamei, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't say it......"

Constantly waving his hands, the corners of his mouth twitched and he was sweating profusely, and Lu Muyuan, who clearly knew:

Obviously begging, but with an almost commanding tone,

The eyes of expectation, as if there are stars shining,

The elder in front of him was unusually obsessed with something

- The mistake of choosing a name has been made again

"That's a pity, Kame-san, you must think about it, a lifelong request, please!"

The hard ones can't be soft, and Asami put her hands together and worked hard again, and she increased the offensive of the "Star Eyes".

[Your life is too cheap, right......] (by Black Twist)

[It's not that you can't call your name, it's really that your name is too shameful, senior sister! ] (by Kamedoru)

It seemed that he heard the sound of the festival falling to the ground, and the two of them stood on the spot.

———— on the way home————————

Kame-madoru and black twist walk together on the deserted streets,

There is only the rhythmic footsteps of two people in my ears,

The buildings in the distance shimmer with light,

People who have been busy all day have gone home early to reunite with their families,

But the two of them still have unfinished things to say at the moment

"Flame-chan, pick up where we left off"

"What was the topic?"

Black Twist couldn't help but look sideways at Kamedo, but the latter looked up at the night sky where no stars could be seen

"The Thing About Being a Magical Girl"

"Ah, is this a thing?"

As if he didn't want the black twist to see his expression, Lu Muyuan walked a few steps with his back to the black twist

"I didn't say that casually, either"

"Huh?"

"Xiao Yan said it, there is no merit, compared to people who change themselves for others, it's just a meaningless life, Yan Sauce's mood, I understand it, and I've always thought so."

"Kame-san......"

The black twist looked at the back of the deer eye circle with a complicated expression, and stopped talking,

"However, after becoming a magical girl, I feel like I can regain some self-confidence by fighting the witch, and although I have failed a lot, I often cause a lot of trouble to Sister Mamei, but even so, I can help others by defeating the witch, which makes me happy! So ......"

"So?"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the black twist, Lu Muyuan said with a gentle smile

"So it's good that Hoko-chan also became a magical girl...... That's what I thought."

Black Twist quickly understood Lumeyuan's mind:

I don't want to have one more companion, but I want to be as happy as I am.

While being trusted, it is more about the deeper care of the other party

- If becoming a magical girl and working hard for the happiness of others can make you smile like that, then it is also a good thing to be a magical girl.

"Kame-san......"

"But Sister Mami is also right, so if Flame Sauce really wants to be a magical girl, then please think about it and decide your future"

"Well, I made a promise with you, I will never become a magical girl with a half-mentality!"

Black Twist stood still, with a sincere and resolute attitude to Lumeyuan

"Thank you," Kameka smiled

While the two were talking happily, a little black cat slowly emerged from the bushes on the side of the road

"Meow~~~"

"Ah, Amy!"

Kameka stepped forward in surprise and picked up the little black cat

"Late~up~good~" Black Twist tapped the little black cat's forehead and greeted

"Meow~~~"

"This kid seems to be very clingy to Kame-san."

"Well, it was actually this cat who was hit by a car in front of me and died"

"Huh?"

"And then became friends"

Black Twist looked up in surprise at the deer who was teasing Amy, who explained very calmly

"Well, in order to save this child, I became a magical girl."

"Meow~~"

"I want to bring this child home, but he seems to like life more outside, but he often sees him in the city."

"Meow~~"

Kameka carefully helped the little black cat comb her hair, and the little black cat changed into a comfortable position in Kamedo's arms.

"To save the cat and become a magical girl.,If you say it, you'll be taught a lesson by Sister Mamei!"

Having said that, but seeing the appearance of Kameyuan happily hugging Amy, there was no trace of introspection

"I don't think so, Kame-san is so gentle, I think it's very handsome!" Hearing this, the black twist flower looked squarely at the deer eyes and said solemnly

"Meow~~" Amy, who seemed to be able to understand human language, echoed softly

"Thanks, Flame-chan, Amy. If, I mean, if something happens to me, Amy's business is up to you."

After saying that, Lu Muyuan rubbed the little black cat Amy with his cheek very affectionately,

But there was a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"Deerme...... Schoolmate? It seems that the words of the last words made the black twist puzzled.

"No...... It's not that something will happen.,It's just.,Sister Mami also said it.,I don't know what will happen in the battle with the witch.,Sometimes it's a little uneasy.,So I want the flame sauce who knows the secret to hear these words"

"Deerme...... Schoolmate...... ...... are you?" Black Twist suddenly had some bad guesses in her heart

"I'm sorry for saying something strange"

"No, I'm glad to be able to tell me something so important!"

"Meow ——!"

Suddenly, the little black cat Amy jumped directly from the deer eye circle to the black twist,

Lying tightly on the chest of the black twist

"It's rare for Amy to take the initiative to jump into someone else's arms!"

"Yes...... yes, hee-hee, it's so itchy."

Quite unexpectedly, the black twist slowly hugged Amy, but the latter licked the palm of the black twist dishonestly

"Amy is so good, I've made new friends!"

"Meow~~~"

"Yan-chan, thank you so much for being with me today!"

"You're welcome, I'm glad too"

"See you next time"

"See you tomorrow!"

———— a month later——————

Outside, the wind was blowing and the windows were clanging.

The cloudy sky doesn't see the slightest light,

The city government issued a storm warning, urging citizens to stay at home and not go out.

Inside the house, Black Twist looked at the rainstorm outside the house with some uneasiness

"What a storm, is Amy okay? Speaking of which, why didn't Kame-san come to class today? ”

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, and Black Twist recalled the strange place in the conversation at Sister Mamei's house a month ago:

……

"Well, it's a fair-like event in the wizarding world!"

"Anyway, don't go out during a giant storm."

……

"Could it be...... Today? ”

Aware of the black twist that Asami and Shikame Madoka seem to be hiding something, come to the computer to retrieve the legend of "Witch Night":

The so-called Night of the Witches is a ceremony that is widely held in Europe

In German, it's called walpurgisnacht

Or rather hexennacht

It means the night of the witch

It is a witch's banquet that night

The Witch's ...... Banquet.......

"Magical girls are fighting witches, right, in that case, the night when the witch is in charge...... Could it be that today's battle is ......" Black Twist muttered to herself, quickly deducing a bad conclusion

……

"Thanks, Flame-chan, Amy. If, I mean, if something happens to me, Amy's business is up to you."

……

Recalling the suspicious "last words" of Lumu Yuan before the separation that day, and the lonely look, Black Twist didn't dare to think about it anymore,

Then he rushed out of the room, anxiously searching for it despite the pouring rain outside

"Where? Where the hell are you, Kame-san! ”

The rain curtain woven by the heavy rain makes it impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly, and the black twist flowers that have just understood the truth can only bump around like headless flies. Fortunately, she also has an "old friend"

"Meow!"

Black Twist immediately stopped, and followed the prestige to find the little black cat behind him who kept barking at him

"Amy is going to show me the way? Take me Amy, take me to Madoka Kame! ”

"Meow~"

Amy immediately turned around and ran into the distance, black twist following closely behind,

And the direction of one person and one cat is the center of Takihara

……

……

……

- End of Memory————

"That night, in order to save Kamedo, I became a magical girl, and I went back to the time when it all began, and I believe that becoming a magical girl and having the magic to create miracles will definitely save Kamedo, and we will be able to laugh together again tomorrow!"

……

It's been a long time since I listened to the black twist story.

Take a long breath, keep looking down at the black twist flower that tells the story of the teacup,

took a sip of the black tea that had been cooled for a long time, raised his head and wanted to listen to Xiao Meiye's opinion,

As a result, just a glance, the black twist instantly felt as if her blood pressure had increased a lot:

A man and a cat are very cute cheeks to cheeks,

Just snuggled up to each other and fell asleep on the coffee table

…… Asleep......

Falling asleep listening to the story like this?!

I was honest and told the truth of everything,

Is it like a lullaby?

Black Twist instantly had the urge to flip the table......

"Well, there's an earthquake?"

Feel the abnormal shaking of the coffee table,

Xiaomeiye, who was sleeping sweetly, wrinkled her nose, opened her eyes and asked a little confused

Amy curled up in a ball without any reaction and continued to sleep.

Xiaomeiye, who came back to her senses, found that the black twist flower on the opposite side was holding the teacup, and her hand kept trembling

Or rather, the whole person is trembling, as if trying to endure something

Therefore, the entire coffee table is shaking violently,

With his head down, his long bangs blocked his eyes and he couldn't see his expression clearly

But look at this posture -

"You listen to me, it's not what you think......"

"There's nothing to explain, it's a shame that I believe in you so much, Xiaomeiye, you big idiot! Woo woo ~ ~~" After speaking, the black twist immediately rushed back to his room and closed the door with a bang.

"Why do you look so much like the hero and heroine of a third-rate dog-blood romance drama?"

Xiaomei saw the rampaging black twist flower and a drop of cold sweat flowed from the back of her head.

"Well, forget it, this little thing...... But it's good that the memory is really broken, and it turns out that so many things have happened......"

Xiaomei got up and carried Amy into the room opposite the black twist.

And in the black twist room, the black twist leaned against the door, holding the soul gem and muttering to herself

"Madoka, wait for me, this time ......"

ps1: Write at the end:

That's right, it's true that the plot of "memoriesofyou", one of the 4 parts of the radio drama, is completely copied.

Because of the need for these contents, it also plays an interpretive role in the original plot.

So I'm just textualizing the dialogue of the radio drama and recreating the scene. (I guess only real round fans can see it...... ）

There are still some discrepancies between the content of radio dramas and TV animations.,Friends who have listened to radio dramas won't talk about it.,

If you haven't heard of it, you can take a look at the content that has not yet been fully shown in the TV anime.

PS2: As for the reason for copying:

On the one hand, it is needed for the plot, and on the other hand, it is very tasteful

- Rather than through horrible self-abuse, constantly portraying despair to seek "healing"

I prefer the accumulation of little by little in daily life, helping each other, and the warmth of happiness in suffering.

While smiling, there is a lingering haze,

And it is this little haze

Like chronic toxin (HX) drugs,

It can't kill instantly, but it can slowly eat away at life.

To put it simply, compared to the despair of dying,

This kind of "chronic despair" that is addictive in daily life is even more satisfying~
