At night, Madoka Shikama was lying on the bed and thinking about the students being released today, the ability users, and those very scary monsters.
And the magical girl, I feel really awesome...that's only in animation, right? That handsome senior also makes people feel desirable.
If it were me, how could I protect this city? I must not be able to do it. Oh, I don’t even know how to become a magical girl... Shikama Madoka blushed at the thought.
In fact, this is quite normal. After all, Yuan is only a junior high school student. It is normal to have some thoughts when seeing everyday things...
I wonder what will happen in the future? What should I do if I encounter that kind of monster again? Its name is a witch... Can human beings' negative emotions really form such a terrifying monster?
In her wild thoughts, the girl fell into a deep sleep until the sound of the alarm clock woke her up. It was already the next day.
Rubbing her eyes, Yuan got up from the bed and opened the curtains. After opening the window, the summer breeze blew in and the sunshine was gentle.
Yuan saw her father in the family vegetable garden directly below.
"Good morning, Dad."
Madoka stuck out her head from the window and waved to him.
"Good morning, Yuan." Dad showed a gentle and kind smile.
Whenever I see Dad Ming at this time, it's time to go to class soon.
"Dad, what are you having for breakfast today?" Yuan asked.
"Oh, toast, cheese and milk." Dad replied casually.
"Is that so? Where is mom?" Yuan asked.
When Yuan asked, Dad shrugged lightly and spoke quietly in a gentle voice.
Dad replied: "Tatsuya went to call her. Aren't you going to help?"
"Okay." Tatsuya is Madoka's younger brother, he is only a few years old now.
Obviously something ordinary happened yesterday, but Yuan felt that the warmth and happiness in her own home made her feel that this was her own reality.
Maybe it would be better to forget what happened yesterday? Madoka Shikama walked out of the room and came to her mother's room.
As soon as he entered, he immediately shouted happily: "Mom, get up!"
Then Madoka saw his brother Tatsuya sitting on his mother who was curled up on the bed, and kept patting her.
There is still no response, so the only thing you can do is shout louder.
After waking up his mother, Madoka Shikama brushed her teeth with her. Seeing her mother still sleepy, Madoka Shikama had a smile on her lips. Most of the time, Madoka Shikama had to go and Tatsuya to wake up her mother.
This kind of thing is basically a daily routine for her family.
Shikame asked while brushing: "Madoka, you seem to be very happy today."
"...Why is mom like this all of a sudden?" Yuan asked with some confusion.
"Well, I watched you grow up, so I know." Shikame asked.
"Ah... that's it. Actually, it's because I made new friends." Madoka Shikame was a little embarrassed.
"New friends? That would be great. Your child has a weak personality, so it would be great to have a few more friends." Shikame Yunzi felt happy for Madoka.
"...Is that so? Am I the kind of weak child?" Madoka Shikama asked.
"It's not like that, it's just too gentle, um, so I have to get along well with my new friends. Did you talk about anything?" A smile appeared in the corner of Shikame Yunzi's eyes.
"...We went to have dessert together...the red bean ones were very sweet." Shikame Madoka replied.
"This is really good, then let's keep up the good work and spend a wonderful school time together." Shikame Nobuko smiled.
Looking at his mother's smile, Shikama Madoka felt very warm, and then nodded: "I will try my best."
After that, after Yuanhe and his family enjoyed breakfast, he said: "I'm going out."
Then he set foot on the road to school. As soon as he left the house, he ran into familiar people. They were Lin Xiao and Artorya, who had also just left the house.
"Hey, good morning Yuan." Lin Xiao and Atoriya waved to her and said hello.
Shikama Madoka hesitated for a moment, then waved hello in the same way.
The three of them walked towards the school together, and of course they chatted on the way.
But most of the time, Lin Xiao and Artorya were talking.
At this time, I met Hitomi and Sayaka again on the road.
Five people walking together, I don't know why they are so eye-catching, Yuan felt.
Today, the sky is clear, and the endless blue sky is vast... This kind of ordinary life is the best, right?
Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for school to end. Sayaka and Hitomi left because of other things... Madoka was about to go home.
Lin Xiao, Artoria and Madoka left the classroom harmoniously, and then headed to the school gate, where they met Tomoe Mami.
This senior student of Jin was wearing the exquisite uniform of a middle school student. After seeing the three of them, she smiled and said, "You are here."
"That's right, so shall we go out now?" Lin Xiao.
"Well, let's go, the black tea at my house is delicious." Tomoe Mami seemed to be boasting about herself.
Artoria: "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Tomami Mami. Black tea... can look forward to it."
"Well, I'll leave first..." Madoka Shikama said to the three of them.
"Come along, you can see Kyubey anyway, right?" Tomoe Mami smiled softly at Madoka, the setting sun reflecting off her golden head.
Yuan Yi was stunned, and Atoriya's eyes lit up: "Come with us, you have seen so much anyway."
"But I..." Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Won't I bother you?"
"Let's go, we are friends, causing trouble to friends is a necessary skill." Lin Xiao.
"Wait, what's the use of that skill?" Artoria asked seriously.
"I don't want to learn that kind of skill." Shikame Madoka shook his head.
"Okay, what I mean is, I hope Yuan will accompany us there." Lin Xiao shrugged. In fact, his original intention was that friends don't need to be so polite.
Tomoe Asami chuckled when she heard this: "You are really interesting, Shikame Maruka-san, aren't you?" This senior seemed to already know Madoka's name.
Shikame Yuantou: "Well...that will trouble me next, senior."
"Senior... you are such a lovely girl. As a senior, I formally invite the three of you to my home and hold a grand black tea banquet." Tomoe Mami said happily.
Then several people walked together and soon arrived at an apartment.
This is where Tomoe Mami lives, after entering the room from the entrance.
What comes into view is that in this spacious one-bedroom apartment, there is a bed decorated in light yellow tones, and next to it is a desk with dictionaries and textbooks neatly placed on it - in short, everything is tidied up in an orderly manner.
Yes, Asami’s cute and reliable character can be seen everywhere. The color of the furniture is naturally very reassuring... Sure enough, this handsome-looking senior also has her own characteristics.
Under the care of Miss Asami, several people sat down around a triangular coffee table.
"Please wait a moment, the black tea will be brewed soon." Tomoe Mami showed a warm smile, and then went to make the tea.
Lin Xiao looked around the room carefully and found a book about making tea and the like.
Madoka looked a little restrained, while Atoriya was sitting on her knees in a serious manner. In fact, Lin Xiao was not used to the Japanese way of sitting.
But there was nothing else to do. Soon Tomoe Mami took out the brewed black tea. The black tea had a light fragrance, and there was also strawberry cake.
It is romantic for girls to like desserts. For example, Madoka Shikama, who was originally very reserved, was also attracted to cakes. This clearly shows that if you are chasing girls, you should take them to more of these sweet shops.
"Please use."
Miss Asami entertained the three of them with a smile... very politely: "I live alone, so you're welcome. Although I didn't prepare well, I didn't have anything decent..."
"You don't have to be so polite. In fact, as long as there is cake, it will be fine." Lin Xiao replied, and then glanced at Atoriya, whose eyes were shining.
Atorya didn't realize it. She only saw the cake and said, "This seems to be delicious. There is a strawberry on top... Isn't it very sweet?"
"If you pair it with delicious black tea, it will definitely taste better." Tomoe Mami.
"...I'll start that one." Madoka Shikama.
Not to be outdone, Artorya picked up the knife and fork: "I'm going to start too!"
At this time, Lin Xiao saw the incredible magic pet with red eyes and sat down next to Miss Asami with a happy look.
"Well, we meet again, you can call me Chubby." He said to Lin Xiao.
"Chubby? What a wonderful creature." Lin Xiao looked at its red eyes. It was obvious that this guy was not a creature of this world, but it didn't look harmful.
Lin Xiao took a sip of black tea, felt the sweetness on her tongue and said, "Senior sister...can you tell us about the witch now?"
Asami nodded, and then took out a yellow, oval object with a shimmering light.
"This is the soul gem." She said.
After seeing it, Madoka Shikama said: "This... is so beautiful." This exquisite gemstone is gorgeous and gives people a clean and pure beauty.
"Does this have any effect?" Lin Xiao asked.
"This is the gem created by the contract between the girl chosen by Kyubey. It is the symbol of the magical girl and the source of magic."
Miss Asami knows so well.
Artorya glanced at Kyubey after hearing this: "Signing a contract with Kyubey... you will gain magic power. Is this the same for you? Senior sister?"
"Well, I only became a magical girl after signing a contract with Kyubey." The senior replied.
"Is there no price?" Lin Xiao asked heartily.
"Didn't you see the price yesterday?" Tomoe Mami.
"Do you have to fight the witch to become a magical girl?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment.
"That's right, it's not just about fighting, it's also about protecting this city." Tomoe Mami solemnly said.
"That's right...it's really powerful...those monsters look scary." Madoka Shikama was a little scared. Maybe what happened yesterday also had such an impact on her.
"Although you were involved, being able to see Kyubey and having the power to defeat the witch means that you also have the power to become a magical girl." Tomoe Mami.
"Wait a minute, I'm not suitable to be a magical girl." Lin Xiao said a little speechlessly. Are you kidding me? I'm a serious man. Even if I want to become a magical girl, I'm afraid it will shatter people's outlook on life.
Tomoe Mami laughed: "That's right...but you have very strong abilities...and can become a combat force..."
"Combat strength? Are there many witches in this city?" Artorya frowned.
"There are not many. There are very complicated reasons for witches to appear... To be precise, witches are monsters produced by human beings' negative emotions... They hunt humans and usually hide in their own barriers, waiting for their prey.
.. Just like yesterday... They will induce ordinary people to enter the barrier and then suck their life force... What we defeated yesterday was just the witch's familiar. The evolved witch is not the real body...
." Tomoe Mami explained to the three of them.
"Does the witch still have a familiar? The familiar can also evolve. In this case, even if there is only one witch, it will be very troublesome." Lin Xiao.
"Are there really so many dangerous things in this city?" Madoka Shikama asked worriedly, feeling a little uneasy.
"Well, it is precisely because of this that I am here. I am the magical girl who protects this city. It is my mission to defeat the witch." Tomoe Mami said firmly.
"Do you also have something you want to protect? Senior sister, you are really cool." Lin Xiao praised, after all, it takes a certain amount of courage to fight a witch.
Tomoe Mami generously showed a charming smile: "Thank you...the information exchange has ended here. Can you tell me what the ability is?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Artoria, who also glanced at Lin Xiao, saying that this was nonsense and you should explain yourself.
Lin Xiao laughed dryly, and then said: "Actually, we don't know what's going on... It seems that we can sense some strange things since birth, souls that others can't see, and monsters that others can't see.
We can also see things like this, such as this Kyubey who can sign a contract."
"Is it that simple?" Tomoe Mami asked suspiciously.
"....Actually, it's not a big deal, right? We are good people." Lin Xiao gave himself a good person card to express his position.
Atria also nodded: "That's it, if possible, we are also willing to help senior sister defeat the witch."
"Okay, really, as your senior, I also know that you also have your own unspeakable secrets... But if you are willing to partner with me to hunt witches, I will be very happy." Tomoe Mami.
"...How do you generally sense the existence of a witch hidden in the barrier?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"I thought your abilities could do anything. It seems that this is something that your abilities cannot do. If you become a magical girl, you can find the witch hiding in the barrier." Tomoe Mami said softly.
"In this case, if senior sister needs us, we will definitely be there for you." Artorya promised.
"In that case, we have concluded the negotiation. I am really happy today... By the way, Shikame-kun... um." The senior paused for a moment, then looked at the confused Madoka: "I can call you Madoka
?"
"Ah!?" She seemed to be at a loss because of this sudden situation, and then she lowered her head for a while before replying: "Senior, I'm very happy."
"What a lovely junior..." Tomoe Mami was very happy.
"Asami-san, please take good care of me in the future." Artoria.
Tomoe Mami then turned to Madoka: "Madoka, do you want to be a magical girl?"
"Ah!" Yuan was really shocked, and then she asked: "Is it okay for someone like me?"
Tomoe Mami: "Of course, you are also chosen by Kyubey, you just need to sign the contract."
"Well, if you sign the contract, I will fulfill a wish for you, anything." Kyubey said, looking at Yuan.
"Wish? What do you mean?" When did Shenlong get reincarnated like this? Lin Xiao expressed confusion.
"Anything goes, no matter what kind of miracle it is, I can make it happen." Kyubey said very naturally.
"Really?" Yuan asked.
Cupid continued: "But...as a price, the soul gem will be produced. The person who gets it will be given the mission to fight the witch."
Lin Xiao: "Is that really the case...Isn't it too early for Yuan Lai to talk about this kind of thing?"
The girl with pink hair looked very surprised, and then she said: "Fighting the witch...I definitely can't do it."
Kyubey shook his head: "Madoka, you also have people you want to protect, right? If you become a magical girl, you can protect them... Of course the contract is voluntary, if you are willing, you can do it at any time, in exchange for me
Will grant you a wish."
Madoka Shikama was stunned for a moment, thinking about the twisted, topsy-turvy and creepy world... Then she asked, "What exactly is a witch?"
"If magical girls are born from wishes, witches are born from curses. Just like magical girls spread hope, witches spread despair. And because ordinary people can't see it, their nature is even worse. Uneasiness and suspicion... these
They brought the evil into this world."
Miss Asami nodded and took the conversation.
"A large part of suicides or homicides with unexplained reasons are due to the witch's curse. The curse turns into invisible malice and begins to corrode human beings from the inside."
Miss Asami's expression is extremely serious.
Yuan was a little uneasy and said: "I will consider it..."
Atorya looked at Madoka, then secretly grabbed her hand, and said, "Asami-san, let us defeat the witch. Madoka will be fine with us by her side." "That's it.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Sister Asami seemed a little disappointed, showing a slightly lonely expression.
Of course, she smiled again the next moment: "But I am also very happy to be able to meet you today... Please take care of me if we hunt witches together in the future."
"No problem, it's our honor." Lin Xiao replied.
After that, the topic ended here, and the four of them chatted for a while. Sister Asami also told everyone that after the witch is defeated, she will drop the Seed of Lament, which can be used to purify the soul gem.
After saying goodbye to Miss Asami and walking home, Lin Xiao saw Yuan seemed to be worried, so he asked: "Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan hesitated for a while before replying: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Lin Xiao was a little worried and said: "Yuan, are you okay? Don't think about these things. We and Miss Asami are here."
"...That's not it." Madoka paused before lowering her head: "Becoming a magical girl who protects everyone will become very powerful, right?"
"Well...what's the matter? Although it will happen, it's better not to force yourself too deliberately." Lin Xiao said meaningfully.
Yuan heard the words and replied: "Thank you..." Then she said: "Actually, I can't do... such a difficult thing."
"That's not the case, Madoka is a good girl." Artorya affirmed.
"...You guys are so kind to me..." After a long while, I finally replied.
"Fool, of course." Lin Xiao patted her shoulder.
"Okay, this topic is over." Artoria then changed the topic: "Actually, today, I saw Hitomi received a love letter from someone else."
"Wow! So powerful. Is she that quiet girl? So charming?" Lin Xiao exclaimed.
"Hitomi-chan is very popular..." Madoka interjected.
Lin Xiao took over the conversation: "If you are round, you can become so popular."
"Ah? I can't do it." Yuan was a little shy.
"How can you do it if you don't try? You must first learn to dress yourself up. This is very important." Lin Xiao smiled lightly.
"Well, a girl should keep her reserve. There is no need to do this." Artoria retorted.
"Hey, don't mess up, Artorya, I'm just here to help Yuan." Lin Xiao.
"You can consider other aspects, such as starting with chivalry." Artorya said seriously.
"Chivalry?" Madoka Shikama was a little confused.
"....Although chivalry is very powerful, it is not suitable for junior high school girls." Lin Xiaoming.
"It seems like this...but temperament determines everything, isn't it?" Artorya's bright eyes were very proud.
"Okay, I agree with this, but the circle is suitable for taking the gentle and pleasant route." Lin Xiao said that the attributes of the circle are suitable for the route.
"Well... I will try my best, thank you..." Shikama Maru saw that they both cared about him and was deeply moved. At that moment.
