Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

We arrived at the milk tea shop and ordered three cups of milk tea and some food.

The two of them came to a quieter table and sat down.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sayaka, Mami turned to the paper company, who had only said one sentence along the way, and asked:

"Although I have many questions I want to know, but first!"

"Conan-kun, are you okay? Are you conscious?"

Mami looked at Zhixing's unhappy expression. Although she used magic to check Zhixing on the way, except for an extra witch's kiss on his neck, there was no other effect. It was even less than the witch's magic when Zhixing was controlled last time.

"My situation is fine, whatever happens to me. Compared to my situation, the future is worse than I thought."

Maybe the current environment is more suitable for thinking, or maybe Mami's concern makes Zhixing want to answer more than not thinking.

It may also be that after being in despair for such a long time, Zhixing has begun to adapt to this feeling, so he has relaxed the suppression on himself.

"What's wrong with the future?"

Asami breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Paper Line had recovered and casually replied.

"Ah, Mirai, well, Madoka is probably beyond saving."

"Wait, wait! If I heard correctly, you're talking about my Madoka, right? You're still obsessed with her, idiot!"

Sayaka originally wanted Mami to settle the paper business matter first so that she could just ignore her, but when she heard Madoka speak, she couldn't help but interrupt.

Sayaka still remembers that it was because of Zhixing's behavior that she met him again and again.

Just as Sayaka was about to continue, Zhixing shed two lines of tears and said to Sayaka with a choked voice:

"I'm sorry, I probably can't save Madoka, I'm sorry!"

Sayaka looked at Zhixing who, as an adult, was crying and apologizing in front of her, and she couldn't get angry anymore. She was confused for a moment.

"Rescue? What happened? Can you explain in detail?"

Asami quickly caught on to the question and asked.

"I probably won't get close to Madoka anymore, but this also makes me realize that Madoka won't become a magical girl."

"Magical girl? Is that why you're following Madoka?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? What happened today?"

Faced with the question, Zhihang once again gave an irrelevant answer:

"Without Madoka's power, Sayaka's power is necessary, so we must say everything that needs to be said now."

Then Zhixing turned to Sayaka, and without caring about their reactions, he closed his eyes and said everything he wanted to say.

"I don't know if you've ever verified your friend's love for Kamijou, but I can tell you that Kamijou's injuries are incurable here, and your friend is able to hire a doctor from abroad to heal them."

"But there's still some time before Kamijou learns that he's beyond saving. During this time, Kamijou will only begin to hate music as his hope of recovery fades."

“After leaving music behind, you two have nothing to talk about. You, who have always cared about Kamijou, can probably sense this.”

"If you just lost your first love in love, since the other person is your good friend, you should be able to accept it."

"But if you had a chance to completely cut off contact between your friend and Kamijou before that, you would probably regret it, even if that chance could cost your friend his life."

Sayaka couldn't bear it anymore when she saw Zhixing talking bad about her friend, so she stood up and shouted.

"Hitomi-chan is not that kind of person, and I will never sit idly by and watch Hitomi get into danger!"

"You don't know anything about us, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After shouting, he was still angry and punched the person sitting there.

This punch penetrated deeply into Zhixing's body, and it even looked like the entire arm was punched into Zhixing's body, which was motionless.

"How could this happen! This is... a barrier!"

Because she had no feeling of hitting, Sayaka, who was almost in front of the paper, stopped moving and looked at the contact surface between her arm and the paper.

No, it should be said that when it was still a certain distance away from Zhixing's face, a circular magic circle appeared at some point.

The entire arm was swallowed by the magic circle and did not touch the paper at all.

With his eyes closed and his attention focused elsewhere, Zhi Xing ignored the two people's actions as before and continued:

"When you gained the power of a magical girl, your sense of justice also expanded, and you worked hard to do what a righteous hero should do."

"But because of the incident where your first love was stolen, you've formed your own opinion on whether heroes need to seek rewards."

"No, it should be said that he used this as an outlet for his anger towards his friends and his love for Kamijou."

"You used violence to vent the conflict between the two of you on the witch who represents sin."

"At the same time, I clearly know that what I have done has deviated from justice, and therefore I hate myself for being like this."

When Zhixing opened his eyes, he saw Sayaka, who had pulled her arm out and was looking at him in astonishment, and Asami, who was holding his hand with a frown on her face.

"We can talk about first love later. For now, decide on your definition of justice."

Zhi Xing looked at Sayaka with a smile and asked:

"If Kamijou's illness isn't the only solution, will you abandon Kamijou to save a poor creature like me who you hate so much?"

As the words fell, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted. Mami stood up, looked at the crowded shopping street, and decisively transformed and rushed out.

Chapter 28: Ancient Mankind Forced Human Transformation

Sayaka was clearly still angry a few seconds ago because of Zhixing's groundless accusations against her friend, but she started fighting without caring that this was a public place.

The result was that first my arm did not feel the impact, and then I saw my arm disappear out of thin air.

He stepped back reflexively and pulled his hand back. Within just two sentences, the surrounding scenery began to shake and deform, and all kinds of strange pictures and scenes quickly emerged.

Then, Senior Mami, who was standing aside, suddenly emitted a yellow light, and then her hair color, clothes and decorations all changed, and she shot towards the crowd in the distance.

Only a circle of ribbon was left, slowly falling.

"What's going on? Am I hallucinating?"

Holding her right hand that was used to punch, Sayaka watched the changes that took place in a few seconds, feeling a little confused.

“This is the other side of the world.”

Zhixing fell to the ground from his sitting position, but he didn't care. He just lay on the ground and began to explain to Sayaka.

"the other side?"

As Sayaka asked this question, the ribbon that had just fallen to the ground suddenly emitted a bright light, covering Zhixing and Sayaka like a net.

"Wow, what happened again!"

"As you can see, this is Mami's magic as a magical girl. It's used to protect you before she leaves."

Due to the urgency of the situation, Mami had less ribbon left and didn't leave enough space for the paper lines lying on the ground.

As a result, the shoulders and above of the paper fell outside the circle.

"So, where is Asami-senpai?"

"This magic is protecting us from something."

When Sayaka asked in a panic, Zhixing smiled because he finally came to a topic that he was more familiar with, and he no longer had to ignore the other party's questions like before because he didn't know how to answer them.

"Hehehe, now we are in the witch's barrier, a space separated from reality."

"Asami left this magic behind to protect you from the witch. Similarly, Asami should be fighting now to protect others."

"Are there so many of these witches? Are they dangerous?"

"There's basically only one witch, and she stays in her own room. Outside the barrier, there are countless familiars."

"Familiar? What is that? A small pet?"

"They are just some guys who are stronger than ordinary people and can eat people..."

"Did you put everyone else in danger? Hey, are you kidding me?"

After hearing Zhixing's explanation, although Sayaka was still not quite clear about the situation, she could realize that the current situation was most likely caused by Zhixing.

So he rushed up again and grabbed Zhihang's collar.

This time, Sayaka lifted the paper without any hindrance and roared:

"Right now! Release all the innocent people! If there's any purpose behind this, I'll take it all!"

Facing Sayaka's barrage of insults, Zhixing still responded in a half-dead tone:

"You may have misunderstood. The witch's barrier is not something I can control. Only by defeating the witch can we release everyone safely."

"Then after Asami saves everyone, she'll definitely go and defeat the witch, right?"

"That kind of thing is natural."

"Then why do you want to do this?"

"That's because Asami doesn't know one thing yet."

"what?"

"Asami acted based on the assumption that everyone was accidentally involved with a witch. Since it was an accident, there's a high probability that they would only encounter familiars."

"That's why Asami rushed to save the others after providing protection."

"So, it wasn't an accident, it was man-made?"

Zhi Xing paused for a rare moment, touched his neck, closed his eyes, and guessed uncertainly:

"I didn't expect it either. I was just under the witch's spell and wasn't seduced over. But after a while, the witch actually came over on her own."

"Can you tell me what this guy's doing?"

"Yeah, I've been sensing the witch's movements."

"You knew about their actions the entire time, yet you kept silent, putting everyone in danger. What were you thinking? Why would you go to such lengths?"

Zhi Xing opened his eyes and looked at Sayaka, who was furious but could only pull herself up due to Asami's ribbon, unable to vent her anger. He sighed and said:

"There's no way. My time may be running out. I have to make a change before then."

"I remember you mentioned your mission during our last conversation, right? Is everything you're doing now all for this mission?"

"Not at all."

Zhi Xing shook his head, then turned around and looked around, shouting:

"It's time to come out. You should know the whole situation better than me, Kyubey!"

"Hey, hey, you've made such a big scene. To be honest, I'm also very curious, Edogawa Conan, what is your purpose?"

From the shadows, a pair of white fuzzy feet appeared in the area illuminated by Mami's magic, followed by the entire head, ears, longer ears growing from them, and finally the body and two more feet and a large white fox-like tail.

"You clearly know more than Asami, but on the other hand you're so clueless."

Kyubey blinked his red eyes, then vibrated the air and said:

"It's the same now. You didn't call me out to communicate with me. If I understand correctly, you want Sayaka Miki to make a contract with me and become a magical girl."

Seeing a creature that was obviously different from reality appear, Sayaka was so scared that she let go of her hand and threw Zhixing's head to the ground.

"What is this? A familiar? Hey, explain the situation!"

Zhi Xing hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on his head that had hit the ground. Looking at Kyubey, who had been invisible beside him for the past few days, invisible, intangible, and inaudible, he introduced him to Sayaka:

"While it could be considered a familiar, it's fine, but right now, it's the only way for an ordinary girl to become a magical girl."

"So, is it one of our own? Can it also defeat the familiar?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to fight. Just like Edogawa Conan said, I can turn you into a magical girl, Sayaka."

Sayaka glanced at the paper line that didn't speak immediately, then asked, "How do I do it? Can I become a magical girl too?"

"Of course, Sayaka, you have the qualifications to become a magical girl. As long as you sign a contract with me, you can become a magical girl and help Mami rescue the ordinary people trapped in the barrier."

"contract?"

"Yes, sign a contract with me and I can grant you one wish. In return, you will become a magical girl, obtain the Soul Gem, and be given the mission to fight the witch."

"Well, I don't understand why so many things are thrown out all of a sudden. But, as long as I sign a contract with you, I can help others."

“That’s the right understanding.”

"So..."
