Chapter 22: The Cruel Reality
The so-called magical girl,The real explanation is-eventually,A girl who will become a witch.γ
This world, following the absolutely strict principle of equivalent exchange, magical girls will receive the same amount of curse when saving others, and when they give hope, they will get the same amount of despair.
If the despair is absorbed by the remnants of the dead magical girl, the witch's remnant, the seed of lamentation, then the magical girl can survive, however, if there is no purification of the seed of lamentation, the soul gem of the magical girl will be filled with despair, and eventually become a witch.
In a week's time, Lin Xuan found a magical girl in another city who had just signed a contract with Kewpie, and witnessed the whole process of becoming a magical girl and becoming a witch.
From beginning to end, the magical girl is not a beautiful thing, she starts with a wish, realizes it with a miracle, and ends with despair.

Night, park.
Madoka Kamei had been sent home by Xiao Meiyan, and after that, Lin Xuan followed the silent girl here.
"Be honest, I'm not your enemy, you should be able to confirm this"
ββ¦β¦ Would you believe it? With his back to Lin Xuan, he couldn't see Xiao Meiyan's expression clearly: "What I said"
Lin Xuan was noncommittal: "How can I judge that I will solve it myself, combined with all the information I have obtained in these times, I still don't believe your words at this time, so wouldn't it be better for me to run away early?" β
"You got it......
"Ahh
After a long absence, Lin Xuan sincerely felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"It's called Witch's Night, right?" The tone paused: "At the beginning, the person I saw should be you"
"In the beginning?"
"When I first came into this world. I see you're fighting that witch, and Madoka Kame......"
ββ¦β¦ That's why you're going to find Madoka......"
The moonlight was covered with shadows, and the lights flickered and went out.
In the darkness, a girl's ethereal voice was heard: "I'm from another timeline. β
The pupils contracted slightly, although he had a guess after knowing that Mei Yan's ability was time manipulation, but considering the huge amount of energy required to backtrack for a long time, Lin Xuan subconsciously ruled out this possibility.
Unexpectedly, what was excluded was the truth, so all her performances were completely understandable - after all, she had already experienced it more than once.
"In that timeline, all magical girls are dead except me"
"Including Madoka Kame?"
ββ¦β¦ Hmm" The girl's tone revealed irrepressible sadness: "In the first timeline, it was Madoka and Asami who became magical girls, and they fought together against the witch's night, and the ending was death; The second time, I made a wish to Kewpie to go back to the beginning, to become a magical girl, plus Madoka, and Asami, we fought the witch night together, and in the end Madoka and I survived, but-"
In the darkness, there was a suppressed cry.
Madoka at the end...... Turned into a witch. β
"The third time, I, Madoka, Asami, Sayaka, and Kyoko, I told them the truth at the beginning, but - no one believed me"
So, will Xiao Meiyan keep hiding it......
"Just like this time, Sayaka Miki turned into a witch and destroyed her ......"
Even if Xiao Meiyan didn't say it, Lin Xuan guessed: "...... Crashed? β
ββ¦β¦ Asami Ba smashed the soul gem of Kyoko Sakura, and it was Madoka who killed her and saved me......"
If a magical girl who doesn't know the truth can still persist with the excuse of "fighting to save the world", then it is natural for a magical girl to collapse after learning the truth that she will become a witch in the end......
In the end, they are just girls in middle school, and even the most sensible people are likely to collapse because they can't accept this situation.
When they make a wish with hope, they are doomed to face a desperate end.
"In the end, Madoka and I faced the Witch Night together, and we won...... But Madoka used the only remaining seed of lament to help me purify the soul gem, and she wanted me to go back in time and not make her a magical girl......"
The moonlight fell again, and the girl in front of her squatted weakly on the ground, unable to cry.
"I don't know...... I don't really know...... This is already the first time...... How many more times...... to be able to end ......"
Lin Xuan was silent for a long time.
He pulled out the night attack and slowly walked in front of her.
The blade sank deep into the ground in front of the girl.
Lin Xuan squatted down and looked directly into her sad eyes.
"This time, let's change the ending......"

There is still a week to go until the night of the witch.
ββ¦β¦ In other words, Madoka has accumulated a lot of cause and effect because of you, so that she has that kind of qualification that is not out of specification? β
Location: Xiao Meiyan's home.
"Hmm...... I...... What the hell are you fighting for......"
Putting down the RPG that had been checked in his hand, Lin Xuan glanced at the confused Xiao Meiyan. After coming into contact with Kewpie, she has remained like she has lost all motivation.
"What are you hesitating about at a time like this?"
ββ¦β¦ But ......"
"If you're going to fight against Witch Night in this way, it's better to go back in time as soon as possible, if you had a 1% chance of defeating it before, you don't even have a 0.1% chance now"
"Well, he's right."
After a pause, his gaze turned to Kewpie, who was hanging above.
Let the teammates who are about to fight together become like this, Lin Xuan doesn't plan to just let it go.
"Won't you die if you don't eat?" For this creature, which is said to be from another civilization, Lin Xuan is still relatively curious.
Blinking, Kewpie replied: "As incubators, you can encounter various situations at any time, so we are equipped with organs that store a lot of digestible energy"
Lin Xuan was stunned, and subconsciously turned his gaze to his ears that followed its movements.
"Well, although the cute appearance is also good for the girl to sign a contract with us, but excellent survival ability is also very important, after all, it is not good to waste the energy of the incubator for this reason."
ββ¦β¦ What a sane judgment."
"I'm surprised by that," Kewpie wagged his tail and said briskly, "Judging from your previous behavior, it seems that your values are a little more like us than humans."
ββ¦β¦β
"And I'm curious about your claim that you're from another world, in any civilization we know, there haven't been any other races similar to humans other than this planetβ"
"Bang"
The bullet pierced the head accurately, and Lin Xuan put down the pistol: "It's not a good thing to talk too much, and I believe you don't want to waste too much energy on making incubators."
From the dark corner, another identical creature ran out, and after devouring the fallen wreckage, scarlet eyes looked at Lin Xuan: "What about rational judgment." β
