When Fang Zheng woke up, it was already the next morning.

"Uh-huh............"

Fang Zheng squinted his eyes and touched the little milk cat in his arms. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a dream last night, but Fang Zheng couldn't remember the situation in the dream very well.

Forget it, it's probably not a big deal.

Fang Zheng took a deep breath, picked up the little milk cat and put it next to him, and then got up to wash. And just as Fang Zheng walked out of the room, he saw Xiao Meiyan walking from the side. Seeing Xiao Meiyan, Fang Zheng also hurriedly called her out.

"Xiaoyan, you're just in time."

"What's the matter? Mr. Founder? ”

"That's right, you go tell everyone in the library to get ready, I have an experiment to do."

"Experiments?"

"That's right."

Facing Xiao Meiyan's inquiry, Fang Zheng nodded.

"I may have found a way to change the nature of magical girls in this world, but ......... Experiments are needed to prove it. ”

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Meiyan was also excited, she turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, Xiao Meiyan suddenly stopped. She glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one around, Xiao Meiyan looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Mr. Fangzheng, that ......... I mean, it's best if it succeeds, but what if it fails? ”

"If it fails, then the only thing left is to experiment again."

Fang Zheng gave a very bland answer.

"Nothing happens overnight, there are successes and failures, and I wish I could succeed at the first time, but unfortunately, there are many things that are not what we want to be."

“……………”

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Xiao Meiyan's expression was a little confused, she lowered her head and asked with some questions.

"This time......... Will we really be able to defeat Witch Night? ”

However, Fang Zheng did not immediately answer Xiao Meiyan's question, instead, he just crossed his arms and squinted his eyes at the girl in front of him.

"What? Do you think that if you can't win, you'll want to run away and start again? ”

“—————！！”

Fang Zheng's tone was not intense, nor serious, and could even be said to be calm, but Xiao Meiyan felt like she had been slapped on the head, and she was dizzy.

"No, I ........."

"I feel that I can't win and want to start over, I can understand this kind of thinking."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xiao Meiyan in front of him.

"However, if you blindly run away, then you will only be weak, so let me tell you a story."

I don't know why, the shadow of the ancient hand pear blossom suddenly appeared in Fang Zheng's mind.

"I've been to another world before, and there's a girl in that world who has the same abilities as you. She is also suffering, and there is a mysterious epidemic in the village where she lives. And this girl is said to be the 'mother' of the epidemic, and is secretly studied. There is a festival in this village called the Cotton Ryu Festival, and every year during this festival, one person dies in the village, and so does the child, who lost her parents and lives in the village with another child. Then in June of that year, she, along with her friends, and the whole village, would die. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Meiyan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Dead......... Is it? ”

"That's right, that girl's ability is that every time she dies, she will be resurrected, back to before that June, it's very similar to your ability, but she's different from you, she doesn't have the ability to manipulate time, she doesn't have any other powers except for resurrection after death, she's just an ordinary eleven, two-year-old, powerless little girl."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng sighed.

She also hopes to escape this cycle, to live through this never-ending June, and to live happily with her friends and the whole village, but she has tried so many times to no avail. She didn't even know who had killed herself, who had killed the entire village, and all sorts of false information and rumors made it impossible for the twelve-year-old to know the truth. She tried to investigate again and again and get answers, but failed again and again and was killed. ”

Saying this, Fang Zheng looked at Xiao Meiyan again.

"Can you imagine that pain?"

“…………………”

Of course, Xiao Meiyan can imagine that if she hadn't become a magical girl, then she would actually be similar to that girl.

"And in the end? Did that kid succeed? ”

"Of course, we found the culprit behind it, and we succeeded in sabotaging their plans. Now the child is having fun with her friends in her own world. ”

Fang Zheng reached out and patted Xiao Meiyan on the shoulder.

"I can understand your thoughts, without 100% certainty, any final boss battle is likely to fail. But Xiaoyan, you must know that there is no 100% certainty in this world, and all we can do is to do everything we can do to the best of our ability, and then ......... Leave the rest to fate. ”

"Destiny......... Is it? ”

"That's right, there is a saying in my hometown, it is up to people to make things happen, but think about it on the other hand, if you do everything you can do, then shouldn't you get a good result?"

Fang Zheng reached out and pressed Xiao Meiyan's body, forcing her to look at him.

"Look up at me, Homura. Your abilities are very strong, but when you encounter difficulties, you immediately run away, and this is your bad problem. No matter how you try to escape, you will have to face it eventually! If you continue to maintain this mentality, even if you reincarnate a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, you still can't win if you can't win! ”

"I ..............."

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Xiao Meiyan was dumbfounded, and was completely speechless for a while.

"Isn't that right? You told me before that no one believed you, so you didn't say anything, you no longer relied on anyone, and just fought on your own. Isn't this just an escape?! Well? In this reincarnation, others will not believe you, so you are so sure that in other reincarnations, they will not believe you? Why don't you try to prove it to them so that they can be your friends, your companions. Why don't you just tell Madoka about QB's situation and warn her not to sign a contract, but just silently guard her side? If you reincarnate a hundred times and you try every time, won't there be one time that Madoka will believe in you? ”

Saying this, Fang Zheng stared at Xiao Meiyan coldly.

"Xiao Yan............... Do you really want to change your fate? Isn't everything you do to allow yourself to sink into this cycle for eternity? You're tired of failing, you're afraid of failing, you want to run away from failure, but it's still here! It doesn't disappear with every reincarnation you make, open your eyes and see! How many times have you been reincarnated? The Witch's Night is still in front of you, do you want to continue to escape?! ”

"Don't talk about ........."

"You're just running away, you think it's troublesome to convince other people, they won't believe you anyway, you think Madoka won't believe you either, everyone won't believe you, so you give up, you feel like you're leaving everything to yourself, but do you really think you're an all-knowing and all-powerful god? You've failed so many times, haven't you seen the reality clearly? Why did you fail? Don't you really know? ”

"Don't say it!!"

This time, Xiao Meiyan finally couldn't help but shout, and then she desperately broke free from Fang Zheng and disappeared in front of him in an instant.

"Teacher.........?"

And at this moment, Fett poked his head out from the side and looked at him with some uneasiness.

"Are you alright?"

"Fett, did you hear it all?"

"Yes........."

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Fett nodded obediently, and then she hesitated to speak.

"That......... Teacher, if you say this, will it be too strict for Sister Xiaoyan? ”

"She needs someone to wake her up, or she'll still be addicted to the depravity of being drunk alone."

Fang Zheng shook his head, sighed, and looked at Fett.

"To be honest, I sometimes want Naye to give her a shot, maybe it will calm down that girl."

"Aha........."

Hearing this, Fitt also had a complicated smile on his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Forget it, I'm just kidding, by the way, you go and inform everyone, gather after breakfast, and say I have something important to say."

"Okay, teacher."
