Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhi Xing closed his eyes and felt it, and it was the same as normal, with no special feeling.

"Yeah."

After hearing this, Mami thought for a moment and then asked:

"You were also hit by the Witch's Kiss last time, right? Can you tell me why?"

"I... can't say for sure. I can't remember exactly, but the reasons were different each time. This time it was because I remembered the Mending Witch you fought before."

"Repair? Indeed, it seems that most of the tools in that room are used for repairing dolls."

Zhihang didn't correct him, so he changed the subject:

"Where were we talking about before? I was interrupted by the witch just now and I kind of forgot."

Asami didn't answer immediately, but checked her phone to confirm the current time.

"It's almost time for patrol. Can we talk on the way?"

"Oh, oh okay."

Zhixing immediately covered his mouth and closed his eyes. This time he was mentally prepared and should be able to withstand bungee jumping.

"Hehe, what are you doing? Come over here and take the stairs."

Zhixing opened his eyes and found that Mami had no intention of transforming. He immediately realized that she was saving magic energy.

So I followed Mami and walked down. Fortunately, these abandoned buildings were not very tall, only a dozen floors.

Zhixing didn't ask too much about this. After all, the current character is a person from the "future", so he can't not even understand the reason.

After leaving the no-man's land, Mami began to walk in circles around the city.

Seeing that Mami suggested talking while walking, but did not ask any questions, Zhixing did not know what to say for a moment due to the generation gap in age and worldview, and could only follow silently.

After crossing several intersections, the silence was broken by Zhihang first.

"Learn...Asami, Oba Asami."

"what happened?"

"Can we go check out the pet shop over there together?"

Mami looked over there and saw a small pet shop. Although it was close to the edge of the city, there were still some people passing by, so the pet shop was still open.

Asami looked around the shop, even covering her hand to materialize the gem.

"Is there a witch in this shop too?"

Asami, who hadn't noticed anything, asked in confusion.

"It's just something I'm a little concerned about, and I want to verify it."

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Mami has already killed a witch today. Under normal circumstances, she has completed the task. After all, the frequency of witches is not that high. When there are fewer, it is good to see 4 in a month. When there are more, Mami has killed 13 in a month.

Since familiars have too little magic power, they often attack lone people very late, so it is okay to delay for a while.

"Wow, woof."

"Meow~"

"Welcome, what kind of pets do you like? We also offer petting cats and dogs for a fee~"

The entry of Zhixing and Mami into the store alerted the animals and also allowed the proprietress to discover the two rare customers who came into the store.

"Can I take a quick look first?"

"Yes, sure. Do you want me to introduce the pet's breed?"

"No, no need."

Mami had no idea what Zhixing was planning to do, so she stood at the door and watched the two talk.

After obtaining the permission of the owner, the paper shop approached a cage containing a puppy nearby.

"Emmmm!"

The puppy bared its teeth as it watched the strange paper company approach.

"Hey, hey, do you understand what I'm saying, woof woof."

"Woof! Emmmmm, woof! Woof woof woof!"

"Aha, this child is still young, so he's not used to strangers approaching him."

The proprietress watched the interaction between the paper shop owners, smiled, and then recommended another dog with "high IQ" to the paper shop owners.

Zhixing tried again, but still only got a "woof woof" response.

The previously disconnected train of thought was connected, and Zhixing was no longer interested in reading any further, so he asked Mami to leave.

"Were you testing your abilities just now?"

"Well, in the end I didn't hear anything. I thought I could communicate with animals too."

"How about this? Hello, hello, hello."

"? Why did you say hello three times?"

"Can't you tell the difference?"

"There's no difference. Is it in English?"

"Yes, English, Daban dialect, and German. The tones and expressions of these three languages ​​should be different."

As a senior, Mami immediately put herself into the role of helping the juniors train their abilities.

"Can I use my phone to find some videos to watch?"

"How about this foreign news?"

“I can understand what you say, but I can’t read the words.”

"What about this? Can you understand the words?"

“I can still understand the sounds, but I still can’t read the words.”

“Where’s this pet video?”

"No, it's still the sound of cats and dogs. Uh, I don't understand the onomatopoeia either."

The two of them walked while talking on their phones. In order to take care of Zhixing's myopia, they walked very close to each other.

After trying a few more videos, Asami stopped testing.

"It seems that your ability allows you to communicate with humans who have their own language, but not with the language of animals."

After stating the conclusion, Mami's mind flashed back to the scene when she first met Zhixing, when Zhixing opened his mouth to the witch, but no sound came out.

"Haven't you ever tested your abilities before? When you were around your magical girl."

"Well, I haven't had any training. After all, I'm not someone who can help fight. I can just help talk to others."

"I thought you said you could talk to witches, right?"

""

Zhihang thought for a moment and asked:

"You said before that you couldn't contact me telepathically, or even sense me."

"Well, even now, I can't sense you even though I'm so close to you with my magic."

"Close at hand?"

Zhixing touched his neck and told another discovery in order to cover up the truth about the witch.

"Just now I was controlled by the Witch's Kiss. ​​It's not entirely correct to say I was controlled."

"It's probably like taking your phone and walking away. I was chatting with someone on the phone, so I didn't notice what was going on around me."

"It's just that Witch's Kiss can automatically navigate, so I don't have to look up to check the road conditions from time to time."

"Until I heard the cat's meow, I was talking to a voice, and the witch was still far away."

After listening to Zhixing's explanation, Mami also looked at Zhixing's neck.

"Are you saying that the one communicating with you before was actually the mark planted on your body by the Witch's Kiss?"

"Yes, compared to the witch, the witch's kiss that is so close to us is obviously a more appropriate answer."

"And by doing this, I believe that not only I but other victims will also be able to hear their voices."

"So, it's not so much that I'm communicating with the witch, but rather that I'm conveying my meaning through the witch's kiss."

"I see, but how does it do that?"

"Maybe it's because of memory."

"You mean the Witch's Kiss can read the victim's memories and guide them to apparent despair?"

"Well, I was trapped for a long time last time, so I don't remember much about what happened during our last communication."

"But as both of us share the Witch's Kiss, this exchange has allowed me to learn something that was forgotten last time."

"Perhaps, the Witch's Kiss often sends messages through other people's minds, but they are simply ignored as their own thoughts."

"Is that so? I don't think there's ever been a situation where a voice suddenly appeared like this."

"Maybe it's because you're a magical girl, so you have magic power protecting you."

After hearing this explanation, Asami obviously shifted her attention and said with sudden enlightenment:

"Well, if you put it that way, I understand."

"Among the victims I rescued, some were deeply shocked and desperate, while others did not even expect to do this. People with a comfortable life and happy families also fell victim to it."

"It seems that anyone who is not careful and falls into a low mood may become a victim of the Witch's Kiss."

Zhi Xing nodded heavily. It was just a preliminary guess before, and now it was just used to forcibly divert attention.

Unexpectedly, it overlapped with Mami's past work experience.

This is truly a world full of dangers for introverts and those who often reflect on themselves.

After discussing this topic, the two fell into silence again.

Mami also has to pay attention to the movements of pedestrians and the traces of the witch.

And Jixing was afraid that he would accidentally let something slip, causing Mami to notice the truth about the witch.

Zhixing touched his empty pockets and felt sorry for the loss of the notebook.

If you have a notebook to plan, it will be easier to decide what you can talk about and what you cannot talk about.

Relying solely on improvisation and adaptability is not a good idea for someone who is used to working in the paper industry.

I followed Mami around and around, and finally arrived at the subway station.

Zhixing stopped and thought that his meeting with Mami was over.

But unexpectedly, Mami took two tickets and handed one over.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Well, I can't just leave you alone. Don't we have to wait until Witch Night?"

"so."

"Well, please give me your guidance this month, Conan-kun."

Chapter 18 The First Night of Cohabitation

After taking the city-circling subway and making a full circle, Zhixing followed Mami and got off at a certain station.

"This is it."

After walking a little further, Mami stopped and said.

"Hey, here? This isn't your home, is it?"

Looking at the complete pattern of the lot, Zhihang was unable to react for a moment.

"The familiars are here. I just sensed a few on the subway. Don't you feel anything?"

Asami walked ahead and said without looking back.
