The driver led the way and quickly walked into the shelter, then contacted members of another team with his mobile phone.
"Seizi, the Kaname family hasn't arrived at the gym yet. Judging from the current situation, it seems that they are preparing lunch in advance. They probably won't move in until noon."
"Then I'll go around and you wait for me near the door."
After Zhixing finished speaking, he began to walk around the gymnasium and soon found the familiar scene.
The stairwell outside the corridor on the second floor of the gymnasium.
Standing at the place where Madoka was having her final thoughts, Zhixing called out to Kyubey a few times, but received no response. He could only stare silently at the sky outside that was already covered by dark clouds, quietly waiting for the ghost countdown to pass.
At noon, the driver brought his lunch box and found the paper shop standing quietly.
After enjoying the lunch provided by the driver, Kazuha also learned about the arrival of Kaname's family.
After checking the time again, he found that it was already 12:35, so he quickly finished his lunch and handed it to the driver. Then, under the guidance of another person called by the driver, he found the Kaname family sleeping on the floor.
The first person to say hello was not Zhixing, but Kaname Shunko, who was still sorting things but suddenly turned around for some reason.
When Xunzi saw Zhixing walking towards them, he called Xiaoyuan over and handed her to Xiaoyuan's father. Then he stood up and waited for Zhixing to approach.
"Excuse me, Mr. Edogawa."
Zhixing looked at Kaname Shunko who was blocking his way, and barely felt that the other person looked familiar. Then he looked at Xiaoyuan who was still in his territory and also looked at him because of his mother's behavior. Only then did he confirm that it was the person who had taken the initiative to find him before.
"Ms. Kaname, don't worry. I won't do anything. On the contrary, I'm here to make sure Madoka doesn't do anything."
Xunzi glanced at the man standing behind Zhixing and couldn't help but sigh:
"Today's typhoon is incredibly strange. Although it's hitting the coastal areas, it took less than a day from its birth to the issuance of a warning of this magnitude. Now it's heading straight this way. Does that mean the deadline you mentioned is today?"
Zhi Xing thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have only said that a disaster would happen one day, but he didn't say which day it was. So he nodded, looked at Xiao Yuan and her father standing up and walking towards him, and said:
"Well, it's a pity that Sayaka couldn't hold on until this moment, and neither did Asami, who's in her first year. At this moment, Madoka's situation is the most dangerous."
"Are you planning to sacrifice Madoka?!"
Xunzi looked at the paper company with a somewhat gloomy expression, but he had already started to consider whether to make a big deal out of the matter and have the people in charge of public security show up.
"I said, on the contrary. In the current situation, what I have to do is, even if only one in ten people in this shelter survives, I will not let Xiaoyuan possess magic."
"you"
Before Xunzi finished speaking, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Xunzi, did you meet a friend who came to see you? Can you introduce him to me?"
Upon hearing this, Kaname Shunko turned around and saw Kaname Chihisa coming with Xiaoyuan. Just as she was about to ask Chihisa to take Xiaoyuan away, she was stunned when she saw Xiaoyuan's expression that didn't seem to be looking at a stranger.
"Hello, I'm Edogawa Conan, and I've met your lover once before."
"I'm Chihisa Kaname, please give me your guidance."
Kaname Chihisa looked at the person who hadn't introduced himself, and was about to ask when Xunzi interrupted:
"There's no need to get acquainted with a dangerous person. Hurry and take Xiaoyuan back."
"I'm not a dangerous person, right, Madoka?"
Madoka nodded under the gaze of her parents, then looked at her mother and asked:
"Mom, Mr. Edogawa should be here to see me. There are some things that are not convenient to talk about. Can I talk to him alone?"
Xunzi looked at Kaname Chihisa and spread out his hands, indicating that it was Madoka who came here on her own initiative, then leaned over and said to Madoka solemnly:
"Madoka, don't be fooled. Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what happened to the people who were involved with him? Sayaka-chan is one of them. There is still no news about Sayaka, right? Don't believe what he says. Let the police handle it."
Xiao Yuan shook her head, looked directly into her mother's eyes, and responded with a resounding voice:
"Although there are still many things I don't know, and although I haven't seen many things with my own eyes, I know what I'm doing. I already know what happened to Sayaka, and I'm not being deceived. Mom, can you trust my judgment?"
Zhi Xing looked at the performance of the family of three, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Madoka is also aware that Sayaka's body has been completely destroyed. Although I want to protect her from such a tragedy, there is a limit to what I can do alone. I believe you should also have the right to know, even if it brings you a sense of crisis."
P.S.: It will probably end in the next chapter, and then it will be a more general part. When I finish practicing, I will return to Madoka Magica to see if I can take over the plot setting of Kaiten.
Chapter 122 If you had the chance to make a wish, what would it be?
Kaname Chihisa listened to the conversation from the side, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Xiao Yuan, did you make this choice after knowing what the other party said? Did you have to do this for us?"
Xiaoyuan nodded, then shook her head and said:
"I know what I'm doing. Although I can't say it's for everyone's sake, I don't want to just sit there and watch when I know something sad is about to happen."
"Dad, Mom, and Tatsuya, I don't want to be separated from you."
"If I had known right now, that there was something only I could do, I would have had to do it. No, I wouldn't have chosen to escape, even if the price might have meant I would never see Darye again, or my parents."
"Stop, stop, stop. I'm not some villain out to cause separations. Can you please not make this scene so sad? Stop, stop."
"Huh, isn't that it?" The man who led Zhi Xing to Kaname's family was stunned first.
"Although my tone may not be right, after all, the only person related to your family is Sayaka. If I mentioned anyone else, you probably wouldn't know them."
"But Sayaka is indeed dead. She was left in front of me, without a trace of her body."
Zhi Xing looked at the few people who had turned their attention back to him and said indifferently:
"That's why I don't want to put Madoka in the same situation. As long as Madoka doesn't want to do it, it's fine."
"They are unlikely to attack Madoka directly, so as the price of unwillingness, the ones who are truly in danger are actually you."
"Although I don't know the exact deadline, if you can maintain vigilance for 10 years, then you will definitely be safe within the deadline."
Zhixing looked at Chihisa Kaname, the househusband, and then turned his attention to Shunko Kaname, the pillar of the Kaname family, who had to run business every day and even had to go home drunk alone.
"You should be safe today, but starting tomorrow, you must be on high alert. Many people will probably die today, but it won't affect you."
"Even if there's no hope, even if it seems like a futile effort, she will squander her last remaining strength for Madoka, and I should go back and remind her to leave one last way out."
"So, I didn't come here to do anything. I just had some things I wanted to talk to Xiaoyuan about, but I didn't have the chance. It will be over soon. It's okay, trust me."
Xunzi frowned and wanted to say something, but Xiaoyuan's hand grabbed her, revealing a firmness that Xunzi had never seen before:
"I believe in Sayaka, and I also believe in Mr. Edogawa Conan, whom Sayaka believes in. Mom, do you believe in me? Do you believe in me who has something I want to do and has made up my mind?"
Xunzi still had some objections. After all, Zhixing claimed to be a cult from the beginning, and Sayaka's death did result in it. Yet they acted so openly and didn't take it seriously, and even planned to take his daughter away from him in front of him.
But Zhijiu stood up, patted his wife's shoulder, shook his head and said:
"Madoka has already made her choice. If what the other party said is true, then Madoka has already expressed her willingness. So it's too late to stop her now."
Chiku looked at Tatsuya who was playing on the floor in the distance, then looked at Madoka who had a determined look in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile:
"Besides, I've never seen Madoka so serious before. I see your shadow in Madoka."
"Xunzi, if it were you, when you decided to do something that required effort, would you give up just because someone dissuaded you?"
Xunzi tried to speak several times but failed. He fell silent for a while, staring at Xiaoyuan for a long time before sighing:
"Ah~ This is so annoying! My daughter, whom I raised with so much difficulty, was deceived and run away by an old man I've only met a few times! Damn it!"
"Ah~ But this choice was made after careful consideration, Madoka. It wasn't made on impulse, right?"
"Ah."
"Will you regret it?"
"No, if I do regret it, it's probably because I didn't do it in time when I had the chance."
"If I had stopped when Edogawa asked me for help that day, perhaps the whole thing would have been different."
"However, rather than regretting the past, time waits for no one. I must go. If I miss this opportunity now, I will probably never have another chance."
Zhixing listened to the conversation between the three people, his eyes wandering around for a while, and he didn't dare to answer at all.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm just here to meet the protagonist. Is there any need to exaggerate my importance so much? I've never been that important, right?
At Madoka's insistence, both of Kaname's parents acquiesced to Madoka's departure.
So Zhixing brought Xiaoyuan to the fixed place, and asked the younger brother recruited by Xiaoyan to go to the door handle of the gymnasium to prevent Xiaoyuan from leaving.
Seeing that the other party had walked away, Zhixing turned around and wanted to say something, but Xiaoyuan spoke first.
"After today, will you still be alive?"
"Why do you ask? Do I look like someone who would sacrifice myself?"
"After this conversation, aren't you still going to the battlefield of Witch Night?"
"Well, although I said I would go, I would probably go at the last moment. After all, I'm not a combatant, and I can't even play a supporting role."
"At most, I can just give Homura a heads-up from a distance so she doesn't get too carried away."
"Is that really all?"
Zhixing spread his hands and said weakly:
"What else? You should have heard a little about my situation from Sayaka. No one can help Homura except the magical girls during the Witch Night."
Xiao Yuan looked out the window at the strong wind that was blowing, the trees shaking, and the sky covered with dark clouds, and asked uncertainly:
"Akami Homura-san, are we fighting there now?"
"I don't know. Don't ask me for the time, and don't even think about getting involved in this battle."
"Why? Doesn't it require my wish? If I make a wish, I can become a magical girl and help Homura Akemi. Why can't I participate?"
"Because plans have changed."
"If Homura hadn't mentioned you, I might have come to you and used your wish. But since Homura asked me to stop you from making a wish, I will be here to stop you from making a wish now and in the future."
Xiaoyuan looked at Zhixing in front of her, and Zhixing also looked at Xiaoyuan, who was much shorter than him.
"Why, why do you have to make so many sacrifices for me."
"Well, it's mainly Homura's own wish. Only Homura would care about you so much."
"Akatsuki...Homura?"
"Yes, you see, because becoming a magical girl is a dead end, she is trying to cut off the possibility of you becoming a magical girl. And because Witch Night is too powerful and will seriously threaten you, even though Homura has a clear way out, she has to force herself into a desperate situation and stay to fight Witch Night."
"Obviously, the hope this time was Sayaka's death... No, when I showed up, it was already destined not to succeed."
"So, what's the reason for this, Conan-kun?"
"Me? What's wrong with me? When you can't make a wish, you're no longer useful. That's why I bluntly told your parents about Sayaka's death. After all, after today, Sayaka's death will be overshadowed by the casualties of others."
"Sayaka-chan too, Conan-kun too, Homura-chan too, everyone, why are they all leaving me their last words?"
""
"Conan knew that he shouldn't talk about Sayaka-chan at this time, but he still said it. I guess he knew he didn't have much time left."
"I know, it's not quite right, but Conan-kun has been using himself as bait to attract the witch, right?"
"Even though he knew Homura couldn't beat Witch Night, he still told us that this place was safe and explained to us what might happen in the future, asking Mom and Dad to stay alert."
"Perhaps, Conan-kun wants to do more than just tell Homura that it's time to leave."
Xiaoyuan looked at Zhixing's skin-colored neck and naturally recalled the tattoo of Witch's Kiss when they last met.
"If Witch Night is heading towards the crowd, that's why Homura chooses to stay and fight Witch Night to the death."
"Then as an alternative to failure, and a way to notify Homura outside the battlefield."
"The only thing I can think of is to make Witch Night change its direction of movement."
"Although I don't know how confident you are in this area, I do know some common sense about the Witch's Kiss."
"If you don't defeat the witch who unleashed the Witch's Kiss, the Witch's Kiss won't disappear, right?"
"And now, there will only be one witch in this city, and that is Witch Night."
“Once you make that choice, that means”
Madoka paused, and though she didn't finish her words, Zhixing could only respond with silence.
"Why would you go to such lengths? Conan-kun just said that he's not someone who would sacrifice for others."
"Of course it's for Homura's success. After all, in this world, you will die, and I will die, but Homura alone cannot die."
"For Homura's success, even if you die, it doesn't matter?"
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. I won't necessarily die. Maybe when the time comes, I'll retreat with you."
