Chapter 103: Apricot Story
Li Xiao followed Apricot Street aimlessly for a while, Li Xiao didn't know what Apricot was going to do, and he couldn't follow Apricot all the time, just when Li Xiao wanted to go home, Peggy's face suddenly changed, and she said to Li Xiao: "Xiao, there is a witch's breath nearby!" ”
After Li Xiao heard this, his expression instantly changed: "Witch! ”
Peggy closed her eyes and felt it carefully: "Hmm...... Although it is the breath of a witch, it should not be a witch, and according to its magic power level, it should just be a demon. ”
"You can't leave the demon alone, let's go up." Li Xiao immediately prepared for battle, a faint golden light appeared on his body, and the AT force field began to be unconsciously released.
"Xiao, Apricot seems to have discovered this demon too." Peggy then said, Li Xiao looked ahead when she heard this, and saw that Apricot also stopped in the middle of the street, and she conjured her soul gem, which was flashing red light on her palm at this time.
Just when Li Xiao was wondering, "Is Apricot going to make a move?" Peggy suddenly said in surprise again: "Huh? There's also a magic around here, but it's not a witch's, it's a magical girl's - Sayaka! ”
"Sayaka is around here?" Li Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback, he suddenly understood, it turned out that Apricot was not wandering aimlessly on the street, she was chasing after Sayaka's breath.
Peggy: "And Sayaka has entered the form of a magical girl, it seems that she is planning to solve this demon alone, and she chose to go out at this time, probably to hunt the witch alone." ”
Li Xiao couldn't help but worry: "That stupid guy, why don't you find Sister Mamei and me." ”
Peggy: "Maybe I'm worried about holding you back, after all, she just became a magical girl, and she wants to take charge as soon as possible and not cause trouble to everyone, so there will definitely be such thoughts." ”
While Li Xiao and Peggy were talking, Apricot suddenly changed direction and rushed into a side alley, which was the direction where the demon was located. Li Xiao saw it and immediately followed.
The demon resembles a little girl sitting on a propeller plane, giggling as she flies around the barrier. Sayaka first came into contact with the demon, and she used her magic to conjure several knives on the ground, and then threw them out one by one like flying knives, and seeing that she was about to kill the demon, Kyoko arrived.
Apricot fell from the sky and instantly entered the form of a magical girl, she held a bag full of apples in one hand, and brandished a yellow spear in the other, the magic spear that could be long or short, curved or straight, hesitated in her hand A nimble long snake threw Sayaka at the Western knife that made the demon and flew all of them away. Then, the apricot fell to the ground in a dashing manner, and she looked up at Sayaka in front of her.
Before, just seeing Sayaka through the telescope, the inexplicable desire to protect in Apricot's heart was extremely strong, and now face to face with Sayaka, Apricot's heart suddenly seemed to be lit with a flame, and it was not only the desire to protect, but the inexplicable pain and sadness were mixed together, making Apricot even feel like her breath became heartbroken in an instant. For the first time in her life, Kyoko couldn't understand her emotions, she looked at Sayaka in front of her with a pair of stunned red eyes, and felt puzzled and disgusted by this inexplicable strong emotion in her heart - why do I have to have such strong strange feelings for a stranger!
Li Xiao didn't appear, he secretly hid on the top of the building on the side of the alley, looking at the apricots and sayaka below. By Li Xiao's side, the demon just now had already been controlled by him with an AT force field, but Li Xiao didn't kill it immediately because he was afraid of attracting Apricot's attention.
"Apricot's emotional fluctuations are a little abnormal, the two of them are meeting for the first time, normally, it is the first time to meet a stranger, it is impossible to have such a large emotional fluctuation." Peggy showed her head in Li Xiao's pocket and said with a serious expression.
Li Xiao looked down at Peggy: "So, do you think it's a bug?" ”
Peggy nodded helplessly: "At present, in my analysis, this should be another BUG." ”
Li Xiao felt a little crying and laughing: "What kind of ghost bug is this?" I can still understand the BUG of Kewpie and Beibei.,There is an error in the calculation of the system.,The character has changed.,But now Apricot has a lot of good feelings for Sayaka in her consciousness inexplicably.,I'm really curious about how the system calculates to have this kind of strange BUG? ”
Peggy sighed lightly and said indignantly: "I'm also curious, those guys from the technical department, I really want them to eat!" ”
Li Xiao: "......"
Compared with Peggy, Li Xiao was more open-minded, he smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "But at present, these three bugs are not only not a big problem, but they are quite beneficial to us." And Apricot and Sayaka were originally a pair of CP.,Anyway, Apricot's goodwill for Sayaka will be full sooner or later.,Now it's just a good impression in advance.,It's actually nothing if you think about it carefully.。 ”
"You're completely wrong about that!" Peggy suddenly said to Li Xiao sharply, her expression becoming more serious than ever. "Look at it now, it's true that these bugs didn't cause any damage to the entire anime world, but the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, you and I can't be sure, whether there is a more terrible big bug hidden behind these innocuous little bugs, if the entire anime world collapses instantly because of the bug, Xiao, you are likely to be trapped in the broken anime world forever!"
After Peggy finished speaking, Li Xiao's little face instantly turned pale with fright: "I said Peggy, don't scare me, it's really so serious?" ”
Peggy let out a long breath, her expression softened a little: "But you don't have to worry too much, it's just a possibility, and it's very small." This world is built with divine power, and theoretically speaking, it is even a hundred times more stable than your human society, and even if you humans perish one day, this system can still function. So, this super bug that can cause the entire anime world to collapse in an instant is probably, maybe, and should only be a theoretical possibility. ”
Li Xiao's face turned even whiter after hearing this: "...... How do I feel that the more you talk, the more empty your heart becomes. ”
Peggy: "Uh...... Even if the entire anime world really collapses in an instant, you don't have to worry, Mistress Emilia can still use her divine power to rescue you. Of course, the premise is that she can remember you as a person, and as far as I know about the goddess, the goddess's memory doesn't seem to be particularly good, and when she remembers you, it may be centuries later, when humans are estimated to have colonized Mars. ”
Li Xiao: "......"
When Li Xiao and Peggy were talking, Apricot and Sayaka below were not idle, and the two had already begun to quarrel with Mai Mang.
Sayaka looked at the strange red** girl who suddenly appeared in front of her, with a surprised expression on her face: "Who are you?" You're also a magical girl in Takiwara? Why haven't I seen you before, why are you in my way? ”
Apricot picked up the spear and sighed helplessly: "Don't you see it?" The one just now is not a witch, just a demon, there is no seed of lamentation, you are wasting magic in vain. ”
"So you mean, let me watch the demons ignore and let the demons harm people?" Sayaka glared at the apricot.
"I said you, you shouldn't have signed a contract with Kewpie with the boring idea of some 'righteous partner', right? In addition, I have heard that you made a wish for a man, and how stupid are you to waste a miracle that only has one chance on a man? Kyoko also showed an angry expression, the strange thing is that Kyoko obviously didn't intend to be angry, but when she thought of Sayaka making a wish for a man she didn't know, Kyoko couldn't help but be angry, and even she couldn't help but wonder, why was she angry? This guy named Sayaka obviously has nothing to do with him.
"You know what? Right here to point fingers at others! Sayaka was even more annoyed, thinking that this guy was simply inexplicable, and it was terrible to say such ugly things to people when they met for the first time.
"What do I know? Hehe, of course I understand, because I've experienced it myself. Apricot laughed self-deprecatingly, and a layer of sadness suddenly appeared on her face. My father, who used to be a pastor of a church......"
Li Xiao: "Uh...... Why did you suddenly start going into memory mode?"
"He was a very honest and kind person, and he even cried every day when he read the newspaper. Saving the new era requires a new faith, that was my father's creed, so sometimes, even things that are not in the teachings are instilled in believers, such as legalizing same-sex marriage or something. ”
"Poof!" Li Xiao spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and almost fell from the upstairs. What the hell is the legalization of same-sex marriage! It turns out that Kyoko Sakura's father is an old driver?
As a result, the believers ran away all at once, and my father was swept away by the church headquarters, and he had no financial resources and could not even eat. Obviously, my dad didn't make any mistakes, but he just said something different from others and was going to end up in such a tragic end, which I can't accept. So, I made a wish to Cuppy to 'let everyone listen to my father's words', and my wish came true, and the next day, the front of the church was crowded with people who came to listen to my father's speech, and I became a magical girl happily, and I worked hard to destroy the witch like a fool. ”
Speaking of this, a happy smile appeared on Kyoko's face, for her, it was a happy past that she could not forget. But then, the smile on her face was drowned out by even greater sadness.
"But ah, when Dad found out about it, when he learned that so many believers were not because of faith but because of magic, Dad was broken. He rebuked me for being a demagogue, kicked me out of the house, began to indulge in alcohol every day, had brain problems, and finally dragged my mother and sister to death. ”
"I made a wish for my father, but in the end my family was ruined, this is the end of making a wish for others!" Kyoko looked at Sayaka with a heavy expression that made people breathless.
Hearing Apricot's story, Sayaka was shocked, she stared at Apricot with wide eyes, the anger in her heart had long disappeared unconsciously, and she couldn't help but show a sad expression on her face: "I'm sorry, I had some misunderstanding about you just now." But...... The two of us meet, what are you saying to me? ”
Apricot thought for a while, and suddenly smiled sadly: "Yes, why did I say this to you, I don't know very well, but I just said it naturally, maybe it's because you are like me, it's all for others to make wishes, I don't want to watch my juniors follow my old path again." Especially you, Sayaka Miki. ”
After saying that, Kyoko picked up a red apple and threw it to Sayaka.
"Let's eat one.
Sayaka caught the apple with some surprise, she looked at the apple, and then looked at the apricot suspiciously: "How did you get these apples, did you pay for them?" ”
Apricot was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but couldn't answer with a weak heart: "This ......"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded over the heads of the two: "Eat, Sayaka, I've already paid for those apples." ”
The words fell, and Li Xiao fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the apricots and Sayaka.
