Chapter 51

You just want to study me, don't you?

"..." Homura Akemi frowned, staring intently at the smiling Mebius, a feeling of unwillingness to admit defeat welled up inside her, a confident attitude as if telling her about the difficulties would solve them.

That made her make the decision.

"Since you're so interested," she tossed a strand of her black hair behind her ear and turned away with a flourish.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

"..." Mebius followed with a smile, walking alongside Homura Akemi with great enthusiasm, and they began to chat skillfully and naturally.

Behind them, the pink orb watched this scene, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke to the golden orb, "Not only is she capable, but she also has good social skills. I feel... perhaps, you might not be able to handle her."

"What do you mean by 'can't grasp it'!" the golden orb said somewhat discontentedly, but the pink orb replied bluntly.

"It feels like you've been sold out by her, and you're even helping her count the money."

"..." The golden orb remained silent for a while, considering whether it could defend itself if Möbius wanted to deceive it, and thought of the other party's ability to manipulate a world and drive civilizational change by taking advantage of the situation.

It would be very easy for him to deceive.

"She...she...is not that kind of person, and I have nothing to be fooled by her, so don't worry," He told himself, as if to reassure himself.

Upon hearing this, the pink orb spun once and then caught up with Mebius and Homura Akemi. Sometimes being deceived doesn't mean the deception is clever; it just means the deceived person wants to believe.

Therefore, pointless persuasion is unnecessary.

"...Would you like some sugar?" Homura Akemi handed a steaming cup of coffee to Möbius.

“No need, I’m used to it.” Shaking his head, Möbius picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, then casually put the cup down and gave Homura Akemi a gentle smile. “Even though your face clearly shows your reluctance, Homura is still so polite. You’re such a kind and gentle girl.”

"A gentle girl?" Homura Akemi pursed her thin lips and spoke in a cool voice, "In the cycle space, you can't judge a person by their appearance."

She didn't think she was younger than Mebius; in fact, she might be older after the original world kept restarting and reincarnating.

Moreover, Mebius shouldn't be that old. Although he has an exceptionally good physique, it doesn't mean he's very old.

“That’s true,” Möbius agreed with a smile. Homura Akemi didn’t pursue the matter further and moved on to the next topic.

"In exchange for your story, I also want to know your story."

To be honest, she wasn't really interested in Möbius's story, but telling a stranger about her past felt like exposing her true self to the other person.

Therefore, she also wanted to know Möbius's story and get to know the truth about him so that they could continue their communication.

Only then can there be a basis for mutual help.

"Hey, Homura, are you interested in me?" Mebius blinked, watching Homura Akemi maintain her usual cool and pretty face, and slowly began to tell her story.

What she did from birth in the previous civilization to entering the reincarnation space was somewhat long... yet very short.

Homura Akemi also realized one thing: how unusual this mature, green-haired beauty in front of her was.

At least normal humans cannot be born with self-awareness and then casually conduct some research to earn unimaginable wealth.

The money earned was solely for the purpose of advancing human evolution.

After entering the cycle of reincarnation, it became even more extraordinary. The first world propelled the transformation of human civilization, leading to the era of exploring the stars.

They also created a god that grew alongside civilization.

"..." She lowered her head and fell into thought. If someone as overpowered as Mebius were to face Cupid, it might indeed be more suitable for him than for her.

It not only helps to analyze more problems, but also helps to find more solutions.

It's at least better than her constantly resetting the timeline... a brute-force approach.

“My story is finished.” Möbius took a sip of coffee and smiled at Homura Akemi. “Homura, it’s your turn to tell your story.”

"Hmm." Homura Akemi's attitude had changed a lot. She raised her hand to gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, then looked up at Mebius. Her delicate face flushed slightly, and her gaze became somewhat unfocused.

For some reason, she felt a subtle sense of shame about telling her story to Möbius.

However, since I have already agreed...

"It all started when I first met Madoka," she whispered to Möbius as she began her story.

It's a story about girls being deceived by a creature called Cupid that looks cute but is actually quite wicked.

The naive girls were tricked into signing a contract with Kyubey and wished to gain the power of magical girls.

However, Kyubey did not tell the girls that using this miracle came at a price: they would eventually fall into witchhood.

That would be becoming a witch, someone magical girls should be defeating.

"Hmm, I have a general understanding." Möbius raised his hand, pointed to his head, and smiled slightly. "We have some relevant solutions in place, but we need Xiaoyan to cooperate with me in some research."

"Your original goal was to study me, right?!" Homura Akemi couldn't help but retort, but then calmly nodded. "Sure, as long as it solves the problem, you can study me however you want."

She looked down at her palm.

"Anyway, this body isn't much different from a puppet."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyan's body is very precious," Möbius said with a smile. "I will take good care of your body."

"Something seems off about what you're saying," Homura Akemi sensed that there was something else behind Möbius's words, but she had no evidence to back it up. She dismissed it as overthinking and didn't delve any deeper into it.

In a sense, her way of thinking is very straightforward; otherwise, she wouldn't have the ability to think no matter how many times she reincarnates.

We also have to deal with Xiaoyuan's stubbornness.

“Don’t worry about the details.” Möbius stood up and said to the golden orb beside him, “Let’s go back.”

"Hmm, that's not a problem." The ball of light spun around and came close to Mebius. "However, you will be undergoing a trial, and you will not have the authority to travel to other worlds. If you want to help Xiaoyan... you must at least pass the trial first. Even if there is an entity that can take you to other worlds to improve your strength."

"The tests that the Reincarnation Space will arrange for you will also change. At that time, you may have to face even more monstrous beings."

"Yes, I understand." Möbius nodded in understanding, and the orb of light opened the portal back without saying anything more.

After that, Mebius took Homura Akemi back and conducted a series of experiments on her.

In a sense, magical girls are really naive and easily deceived, even after experiencing so much.

It's easy to influence their thoughts.

"Well, have you reached a conclusion?" Akemi Homura sat on the lab table, reaching out her slender hand to gently tug at the white shirt that had slipped off her shoulder.

During the process of being studied by Möbius, she discovered that Möbius was indeed capable of roughly deducing her eating habits, physical age, and so on, simply by observing her body and abilities.

This led her to the illusion that Mebius knew her better than she did.

"The conclusion?" Möbius pondered for a moment before answering seriously, "Hama's body is truly beautiful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a pillow was thrown at her. Homura Akemi glared at Mebius, her delicate face flushed red as she shouted.

"Who asked you about that conclusion?"

“Using emotions to convert energy is indeed a very interesting technique.” Möbius bent down to pick up the pillow, his expression becoming serious. “However, if a certain emotion is strong enough…”

She answered Homura Akemi earnestly.

"Whether it's the ultimate love or the ultimate small love, as long as you transcend the despair of becoming a witch, you don't need to worry about losing yourself when you become a witch."

"...The ultimate emotion?" Homura Akemi murmured to herself, wondering if the emotions in her heart could transcend the despair of becoming a witch.

"To put it simply," Möbius smiled, holding up a finger, "it's about overcoming your inner demons, maintaining a firm sense of self, conquering the despair and negative emotions deep within, and nurturing your truest self."

Despite what she said, it still applies to teenage girls who haven't received relevant ideas and training.

Overcoming that despair is almost impossible.

Unless, of course, she is the kind of saint who is born with great love, or someone who is obsessed to a certain degree for a certain goal.

Otherwise, it is impossible to overcome despair and negative emotions.

"..." Homura Akemi took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a resolute determination, and spoke to Möbius, "What do you think of me..."

“I don’t know, and I don’t recommend trying it.” Mebius interrupted with a smile. “Once I’ve completed the assessment, I’ll find a way to help you cross the abyss of despair. For now, just wait patiently for a while.”

"Thank you, I understand." Homura Akemi agreed without refusing, and then took the initiative to ask, "You've helped me so much, is there anything you want in return?"
