Chapter 33: Bad Taste
New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
London is known as the foggy capital, and its flirtatious nature is a problem that cannot be ignored in the summer. The intermittent rainfall that causes moisture to rise, combined with the increasingly pronounced foehn phenomenon in recent years and the summer heat wave, can create alarming temperatures.
But today was different, it was a cloudless day.
Although the weather in the city changes every four hours, so there are many people with umbrellas on the road, but at least for now, the weather is quite clear.
Kirino Takasaka, Ayase Aragaki, Konata and Saori are four girls on a shopping street not far from the Great Church of St. George.
They sat in a circle at a table outside a dessert shop, each silent, just staring strangely at the center of the table.
There was a strange creature that had never been seen before, with a dazzling white body and sparkling red eyes, holding a cup of sundae with its two forefeet, and enjoying itself.
- It's like a kitten lounging in the sun.
The morning in London's Lambers borough is notoriously noisy, but all around it, the sound seems to be muffled and filtered.
The girls felt that they and the others were clearly in the middle of a thriving shopping street, but it was almost as if they were in a solemn temple where noise would not be tolerated.
Not only is all the surrounding distractions seem to be silenced, but even the morning sun is pure and heart-wrenching, and it seems that the dust in the air is unconsciously quiet, and the restless air becomes leisurely and peaceful.
This is an absolute "anomaly", and it is definitely not a reality that can be denied.
Even Kirino Takasaka didn't dare to say what kind of reality show this was, there was no backstage around the show at all, and she didn't know what technology could create such a stage effect.
It's almost an uncanny magic.
Therefore, in the same way, they don't think that it is because they are special that such a phenomenon has occurred, so there is no doubt that it is the wonderful white creature on the table.
It's said that it's unprecedented, but it's not really, because they just haven't seen a creature like Kewpie in reality, but they've seen the work "Madoka Magica" more or less.
Even Ayase Aragaki, who is extremely disgusted with otaku and has a great prejudice against otaku culture, has heard of Kewpie's famous name to some extent, and along the way, others have basically explained to her what kind of thing it is.
As a result, she stared at the white creature on the table with a wary and somewhat neurotic look.
Looking at this posture, it seems that as long as that cute little thing that looks harmless to humans and animals dares to say something like "sign a contract with me and become a magical girl", she will immediately become emotional and hurt.
For example, the cup of sundae in her hand seemed to be about to melt completely, but she had no intention of eating it.
Looking at the appearance of this beautiful girl with long black hair and a slender figure, it seems that she has used the cup in her hand as a weapon at all - maybe it is because of the petite size of the white creature, which gives her some kind of inexplicable illusion and self-confidence?
“……”
“……”
There was silence, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen, and the four girls were all strange-looking, and they were obviously thinking about something.
Not only was he brought to this world inexplicably, but also the notorious existence of Kewpie he encountered, and the most important thing was what the black cat said before - it seems that his good friend has a big secret.
Not only did she know Kewpie for a long time, but she was completely unsurprised by such things, and she looked like she had long been accustomed to it and commonplace.
So, she's really not a magical girl? Usually uses the image of an otaku to disguise herself, but in the dark world that ordinary people can't see, she is fighting against those destruction and sighs?
Perhaps in this world, there is a "witch" who spreads misfortune.
Hence the birth of the existence of a "magical girl" who fights with a "witch".
But if Cuppie has appeared, none of this is impossible, and the magical girl may really be at the cost of a wish - in a place that people don't know, they have always guarded the existence of this world.
They also know that sacrifices are sometimes necessary to make dreams come true.
However, before deciding to make it happen, you should know what kind of sacrifice you will have to make. Looking back, they find that something has been taken away as the price of their dreams - this kind of thing is too much, and they feel that they can't accept it.
I don't know when I'm going to be eaten by a witch.,In a dangerous place - no companions and alone.,Fighting every night.。
Although it was groundless nonsense, it was undeniable that whenever I thought of this, Takasaka Kirino and the others felt like their hearts couldn't beat.
They can only be like broken dolls, just stunned on the sidelines, constantly thinking cranky, and the more cranky they think, the more worried and scared they feel.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know exactly how long it had passed, and the sun should have risen a little higher than just now.
As if he finally couldn't bear the long silence, Takasaka Kirino whispered, "That, I want to ask ......"
"Well, I know how you feel."
Hearing this calm voice interrupted directly, the girl with long brown hair couldn't help but raise her head - only to see that Kewpie didn't know when she sat directly in front of her.
The wonderful white creature, which seemed to be happily swallowing the last bite of ice cream, said, "It's great that you finally understand...... The little black cat's determination is so persistent. ”
“……”
“……”
Then again, it seems to be saying something like that...... Admit that their conjecture is correct?
The black cat has been hiding it from them, such a cruel fact?
"Your reaction really doesn't make sense. If you think it's cruel, it's because you don't see the essence at all. No matter what kind of hope it is, as long as there is something that goes against the rules, it will inevitably bring about some kind of distortion. ”
The white creature looked at Kirino Takasaka with its long, fluttering tail and continued calmly.
"Then it is only natural that in the near future, there will be harm. If such a natural outcome is called betrayal, then it is a mistake to hope for such a thing. ”
“……”
“……”
Takasaka doesn't know what to say, and so do the others, after all, no matter how you say it, it's too surreal to paint.
Being able to accept the reality in such a short period of time, their psychological quality is already quite good, of course, it is impossible to be like Lumeyuan, after recognizing the cruel thing, excitedly want to argue with Kewpie about right and wrong.
“…… This kind of thing is too cruel......" Only Kirino Takasaka seemed to be unable to help but whisper.
"But—I wouldn't say it's stupid." The white creature replied, sighing exaggeratedly, "We weren't the ones who betrayed her. Rather, it's her own wish. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but grit their teeth tightly.
Is this because you were shocked by the determination of the black cat? Or do you feel scared because you know the truth of the world now and speculate wildly and feel the horror of the witch?
Or rather, it's because of pure sadness - even Takasaka Kirino himself feels that he can't tell the difference.
The invisible boundary between reality and fantasy seems to have been repeatedly confused in just half an hour, and finally became completely fragmented, and what was thought to be just a pure fantasy work actually appeared.
And according to the setting revealed in that fantasy work, the white cute little thing in front of you seems to be completely a symbol of ominous and desperate ...... Monsters.
If you make a contract with them and become a magical girl, you will never end well.
Once you become a magical girl, there is no hope of redemption...... The pact was to give up everything else in exchange for the only hope.
— that is, to make a wish, but to exchange it for such future cause and effect as a doom to despair.
Although the black cat said in advance that this guy is not Kewpie, and she is not a magical girl, the preventive injection in this way obviously has no effect.
The girls still subconsciously applied the setting in "Madoka Magical Girl", and speculated about the current situation of the black cat with the rules in it.
It's a fixed mindset.
It's like when people see zombies, they will subconsciously think that they "should" be the flesh and blood of people who move slowly, have rotting bodies, carry viruses and are infectious, and have a penchant for living people...... And so on and so forth, and so forth, and so on.
So when I see Kewpie, I subconsciously think of the magical girl and the desperate contract, which is the same reason.
Such a thing makes their minds confused, and there is no way to think "rationally" at all. So much so that no one believed the simple explanation before Wugen Liuli, and only felt that she was comforting herself and others.
Perhaps at this time, how many of them can remember the simple explanation of the black cat just now, it is impossible to say.
It is precisely because of their confusion that otherwise, as delicate girls, they may find that the words and words of the wonderful white creature that has become like a cuppie will make them feel a little déjà.
But the most important thing now is -
As former good friends, they are keenly aware that Wugen Liuli seems to have gone to another world completely different from them......
This is hopelessly lonely.
But at this moment, the white monster had already spoken again, and its calm voice was full of some kind of magical demagogy:
"Do you want to help her, the little black cat has been having a hard time lately, and if it continues like this, it may not be able to support it...... It's not okay to be alone in the fight. ”
"She needs companions who can fight side by side, share stress and secrets, but as it happens, you all have that credential...... How about it, do you want to think about it. As long as it is a wish, I can achieve most of it......"
The cold voice of the black cat sounded on the side, and he said sharply-
"Oh, is it? You can still make your wish come true, why didn't I know? I thought you could only get people to make your wishes come true. ”
Then she turned to look at her friends and frowned: "It's all said, don't think nonsense...... It's not Kewpie, and I'm not a magical girl......"
"Cut! How did you come back so quickly? Have they all been discussed? ”
Interrupted by a high-spirited prank, "Cuppy's" incredible face showed a very human expression of dissatisfaction.
It stopped the evil act of bewitching the girl to sign the contract, and turned its head to look at the five watch Ruri who came back at an unknown time.
There was also a girl standing next to the other party.
A girl dressed in a simple beige monastic robe, who seemed to be only about eighteen years old, stood there calmly with a smile on her face that was almost the most amiable to her.
“……”
“……”
Hearing the white creature's question, the black cat turned around, and it seemed that it had suddenly switched from the annoyed and cold state just now to a mood that did not have much confidence.
