……

Kameen House, in the room on the second floor.

The three of them gathered in front of Xiao Meiyan's corpse and were silent for a long time.

"How, how could it be...... No......" Shikameen stuck to the corner of the wall blankly, this was the first time she had seen someone die, or the death of an acquaintance, and the blow to her fragile heart was undoubtedly huge.

The dull atmosphere didn't last long, and a small white figure suddenly appeared on Shikameyuan's shoulder, it was Kewpie.

"It's too bad, Madoka, and those two aliens." Kewpie's appearance was still innocent, only his tone was more solemn than usual, "Xiao Meiyan's soul gem was actually lost...... It's terrible. ”

"Kewpie......" Kakume Madoka muttered stupidly, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan...... Not dead...... Right? ”

Zhang Chai was silent and tried to use Avalon to treat Xiao Meiyan again, but it didn't work in the slightest, Xiao Meiyan was indeed dead.

Xiao Meiyan is an important No. 2 heroine in the original book, but now she suddenly died tragically, which made Zhang Chai's mood feel extremely heavy, and the already unpredictable plot is now afraid that it will become upside down.

Compared with Lu Muyuan and Zhang Chai, who were full of dazed and heavy, Gu Xinyan seemed very calm, with her sensitivity over the years, thinking of the previous scene of being intercepted and killed, and then linking it to what Cuppy had just said, she found many unusual details.

At this time, Gu Xinyan stared at Kewpie coldly, and said coldly: "Xiao Meiyan's soul gem was snatched by Liu Guan and Luo Fan, this should have a lot to do with Xiao Meiyan's bizarre death, Kewpie-!" ”

Kewpie listened, but just looked at Gu Xinyan in silence. The red eyes sparkled in the dimly lit corners.

Gu Xinyan felt that something must be wrong with this, and the anger on his face was fully revealed. Forced to look at Cuppy and shouted, "I'm asking you!" Say! Otherwise, I promise you won't end well! ”

“…… Homura. Hey, Flame...... Get up, hey? Lu Meiyuan on the side didn't even care about the tears gushing out like a spring, and could only shake Xiao Meiyan's body in panic, still unable to understand Xiao Meiyan's death, and shook Xiao Meiyan's body vigorously as if he was comforting himself.

But, Xiao Meiyan's head-

It's like a broken doll, swinging thoughtlessly as it shakes.

"They're magical girls—"

At this point, Kewpie spoke slowly. The tone was as light as usual, and even a little leisurely: "The range that can control the body is at most a hundred meters in radius." ”

"A hundred meters?" Zhang Chai suddenly turned his head to look at Kewpie, and his voice cooled down, "What do you want to express?" ”

"Of course, I usually carry it close to my body, so this kind of accident is very rare......" In the face of Zhang Chai's questioning, Kewpie still replied so lightly, which made people always feel a little unaware of what kind of atmosphere this is.

"What are you talking about, Kuppy!" Lumu Yuan shook his head anxiously and cried out silently, "Save her!" Don't let Homura die! ”

Cuppy tilted his head and said, "Madoka, it's not Xiao Meiyan over there." It's just an empty shell. ”

"Huh?!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Chai and the others were stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Except for the thoughtful Gu Xinyan, Zhang Chai and Lu Muyuan had no way to immediately understand what Kewpie's words meant.

Just when the three of them were puzzled, the usual tone of Cuppy sounded in their ears.

"--Fighting a witch with a body as fragile as a normal human or something...... I can't ask a magical girl to do such a thing. ――For magical girls, what was originally called a body was just a peripheral hardware. They are called the essence of the soul. In order to be able to use their magic more efficiently, I helped them compress them into a safe form. ”

Listening to Kewpie's calm tone, Shikameyuan was never able to fully understand. What the hell is going on?

And Zhang Chai and Gu Xinyan's faces changed color after hearing this, and they already understood what Kewpie's words meant.

"I'm the one who signed a contract with the witch girl. My mission is-" Kewpie looked at Madoka with those glass-like red eyes, and said coldly, "It's to take out your souls." Turn into a soul gem. ”

Zhang Chai and Gu Xinyan were both cold in their hearts, and Lu Muyuan even felt that their hearts were frozen into a ball.

"It's not a good errand—magical girls or something." At this moment, a blonde girl stood on the windowsill at some point, it was Ba Asami who rushed to hear the news, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she explained coldly: "That contract is to give up everything you have now in exchange for the only hope. ”

"Asami, senior sister......" Lu Meiyuan's body was like an electric shock, and his mind suddenly recalled Xiao Meiyan's indifferent and sad eyes.

“…… You've always been like that. Kewpie looked at the tears that kept falling off his eyes, and said with a smile: "Telling you the truth as it is, this must be the reaction." It's really inexplicable, why are human beings so obsessed with the way the soul exists? ”

The words that Cuppy said lightly with a nonchalant look like a needle pierced the deer's round chest, like the indifferent words of an older adult to a tearful child.

Xiao Meiyan's body became colder and colder, and she became more and more heavy, and Lu Muyuan could only burst into tears with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "It's too much...... This kind of thing is too much......"

In the face of irrepressible sadness, Kameka could only say such a child's crying words.

"Madoka, don't be too sad."

It was Zhang Chai's voice, Lu Muyuan looked up with tears in his eyes, Zhang Chai was already squatting in front of her, and his expression looked very flat.

"Why...... Why! Lu Muyuan cried even louder, "Sister ZZ and Sister Gu's reaction will be like this...... So ......"

So?

Is the reaction too calm?

Zhang asked to himself, but he didn't know how to respond.

In his and Gu Xinyan's opinion, the magical girl's own body is indeed too fragile, and if the soul is stored in the soul gem, it will definitely be able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the magical girl and not be dragged down by the burden of the body, so he doesn't think there is anything inappropriate about Kewpie's approach.

However, Kewpie didn't tell them this kind of fact that was cruel to ordinary people, but induced them to become magical girls, which was really unfair to them, which made Zhang Chai feel quite annoyed, this Kewpie is really not a good type.

"Hmph." Gu Xinyan picked up Kewpie's small body and asked, "What do you want to do?" Why cheat on magical girls? (To be continued.) )
