Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

That won't do... that would only bring about greater disaster.

Furthermore, reflecting on everything I had done before.

Was everything I did truly meaningful?

Or should we not have this idea or this wish in the first place?

Looking at the mother and daughter by the window from afar, Chen Nan clenched her fists.

'But I am....'

A sigh reached my ears, the tone so familiar.

"Go do it."

"This idea is absolutely right."

"It is no longer a sorrowful wish to make all evil disappear."

"It is not a simple wish, but to protect with the power we already have."

Chen Nan turned around.

A crow landed on the ground, white mist rose, and a young man stood before him.

The person who visited her in the hospital last time was Sister Yun's younger brother.

"elder brother?"

No, the tone of voice just now, though different, reminded her of someone else.

The fat uncle that night.

"So that's how it is..." Chen Nan seemed to understand something.

“Go ahead and do it... if you want to.” Kazama continued.

"..." Chen Nan fell silent.

A moment later, she looked up:

"Brother, kill me here."

"Then, you go and save them... You have magic too, you can do that, right?"

Kazama shook his head at Chen Nan's words.

Although he knew that, rationally speaking, killing the defenseless Chen Nan to avoid the trouble of fighting the witch was the right thing to do.

but.....

Kazama looked at the mother and daughter calling for help in the distance, and then at the girl in front of him.

This is the girl's last chance for redemption before she becomes a witch.

Even if she were to be redeemed, she would still become a witch...

"Feelings may be meaningless... but if we lose feelings, what kind of person are we?"

Kazama spoke again:

"Go do it."

Bearing sins and regrets, we move forward once again with reverence.

After you reach the finish line...

"I will cleanse the calamities and sins that will follow the witch you are worried about."

The despairing cycle of Madoka Magica, the world where girls cannot find salvation, will not appear in this present world.

..............

Outside the fire scene, fire and rescue teams are closely monitoring the situation inside.

"How is it now?" the on-site commander asked over the radio.

"We have rescued five households from the fifteenth floor. Some of them are unconscious, but none of them are in life-threatening condition."

"Okay, all the medical measures are in place."

"What about the other household?"

"The fire site where that household is located is in a very complicated environment, and the brothers are trying to figure out a solution."

"But don't worry, we will definitely rescue them safely."

"Brothers, get ready to charge!"

A loud bang suddenly came through the walkie-talkie, turning the sound into a sharp buzzing.

"Hey, how's it going now? What was that just now...?"

"It must have been the innermost explosive that detonated... Damn it..."

"There's no time to waste, let's just go in!"

The commander gripped the walkie-talkie nervously.

But less than a minute later, the voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Boss, the people have been rescued. Mother and daughter are safe, but they're unconscious..."

"So fast?!?"

"I didn't know... We had just entered the fire area, not even into the danger zone, when we saw this mother and daughter from outside..."

..............

The vessel that embodied Chen Nan manifested itself in the fire.

Her mind was in turmoil, like a revolving lantern, with memories of her parents constantly surfacing in her mind.

At that time, she already knew that her father was a respected policeman and a true man of justice.

At the time, she even went so far as to confirm this with her father in order to show off to the neighbor's children.

In her memory, her father smiled and nodded, reaching out to touch her head.

While recalling the events, Chen Nan found the mother and daughter trapped in the fire.

The daughter was unconscious, while the mother seemed to retain some consciousness.

Chen Nan carefully held the two women in her arms, leaning forward slightly to shield them.

As Chen Nan traversed the fire, her memories continued.

These were fragments of memories unfamiliar to her... or rather, fragments she had overlooked at the time.

After nodding, the father immediately shook his head.

"Upholding justice and protecting the people is the police's right stance. However, justice is too heavy a burden, and Dad probably can't bear it."

"All my father can do is protect the people to the best of his ability. It's just that simple thought, whether it's catching criminals or helping everyone, it's based on this."

Why did I ignore what my father said at the time?

Perhaps it's because I subconsciously believe that justice and ordinariness are incompatible.

Chen Nan suddenly knelt down on the ground.

The power within this vessel is constantly draining away, just like when it was weakly lying in a hospital bed.

Chen Nan knew that it was the original body in the distance, and with the use of its power this time, the filthy blackness had completely covered the gem.

"That's all I can do for you..."

"The rest is up to the real firefighting heroes outside."

Chen Nan whispered to the mother and daughter.

As if hearing Chen Nan's voice, the mother, who still retained a little consciousness, weakly raised her head.

"Thanks..."

Chen Nan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Ah... I think I can understand what my father was saying back then.

.............

On the rooftop, Kazama silently watched the girl with her eyes closed in front of him.

Or rather, he was staring at the gem on her chest.

As time passed, the last corner of the gemstone was gradually filled with black.

Until a certain moment, the black stopped flowing and slowly condensed into one.

It was at this moment that Chen Nan opened her eyes.

A smile still lingered on her lips.

"Has it reached its limit?"

Chen Nan looked at the gemstone on her chest.

"Um..."

Kazama nodded slightly.

As he practiced divination, his increasingly profound inspiration allowed him to capture a certain kind of information.

The once pure white egg is now covered with fine cracks.

You can also hear a cracking sound as the shell gradually splits open.

"Then, I'll leave it to my brother."

"as well as...."

"Thank you."

Chen Nan finished speaking.

The outer shell shattered completely, and a black, viscous substance flowed out, sweeping outwards.

An invisible force began to permeate the surrounding area.
