Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

The other is the [invisible boundary] that was promised before.

Although in the original work, "The Invisible Borderline" is the key plot line that allows Rikka to give up her chuunibyou due to concerns about her family and regain her own characteristics.

But if the timing is pushed forward and completed before giving up voluntarily, then Rikka should be able to give up her chunibyo more thoroughly.

As long as there is this time to give up completely, even if you will recover later because fate is unchangeable, it should be enough for you to carry out the strategy of conquering the palace.

With a plan in mind, Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief, so that he wouldn't have to wait for a fatal crisis to occur in this everyday world. He switched the camera's perspective several times and then locked it back on Shihua.

Fennel was unable to see it, and the protagonists were indeed all at Yuta's house, and they didn't seem to see the weapon floating around them.

Zhi Xing was jogging towards the entrance where the protagonists entered the impression space, while feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Touka's behavior.

Although the time it takes to find the route out of the [Witch's Barrier] is not fixed, I had clearly told her not to move before.

Although my goal of [crossing] has been proven, if it is in the impression space, then the real location will follow the goal, but I can also call Shihua to come back, but she came back by herself. Isn't this a waste of an experimental opportunity?

Just as Zhixing was thinking this, he heard the discussion coming from Shihua's side.

[Thunder Hammer]: "...It's definitely true. [Phantom Thief Joker] must have had an eye problem, so he set his sights on the master's [Evil King's True Eye]!"

Mori-sama: "Indeed, when we first met, that guy already had an eyepatch over his right eye. So, it's possible."

[Black Flame]: "But, [Phantom Thief Joker] wants the secret treasure, right? This shouldn't have anything to do with the real eye. Besides, Rikka's right eye is just a cosmetic contact lens, and she already has the power of a [Phantom Thief]... Maybe there's no need to consider this situation anymore."

[Jika]: "That's certainly what he's saying, but what if he's lying? What we know now is based on his one-sided story. What if the secret treasure can only be taken after becoming a [Phantom Thief]? Or what if the secret treasure becomes even more powerful, increasing the benefits?"

[Magical Demon Girl]: "It's okay. Sophia originally had the magic to distinguish right from wrong. Now that she has awakened the power of the [Phantom Thief], the effect of this magic has been greatly enhanced. Sophia believes that the [Phantom Thief Joker] is on our side and will not deceive us."

[Evil King True Eye]: "I haven't seen [Phantom Thief Joker's] face either. If [Phantom Thief Joker] really wanted to attack us, it would have been after everyone had the power of [Phantom Thief]. If it weren't for [Joker's] suggestion, I wouldn't have wanted to find others to establish a base together. So [Joker] might not really be an enemy, otherwise [Joker] would have attacked me that night."

[Saint Counselor]: "As I just said, perhaps you hadn't fully awakened the secret treasure at that time, so you were asked to find others, and through their awakening, you might be able to awaken successfully. Is there anyone else who knows that [Phantom Thief Joker]?"

Mori-sama: "Aside from Rikka and I, who have had a brief encounter with him, it seems only Anise-senpai has had more contact with the rest of the people."

[Thunder Hammer]: "But Fennel-senpai was called out by [Phantom Thief Joker], right? Could it be that the time is ripe and he's ready to attack the [Evil King's True Eyes]?!"

[Magic Demon Girl]: "If that's the case, then I'll follow him now. If you really intend to harm the [Evil King's True Eyes], then let him see the power of magic."

[Black Flame]: "But, do you still have the energy now? Although you have recovered from your previous injuries, the physical strength you consumed has not recovered. Sigh, I'll go check on you, Nanamiya Rikka, you two should rest well first and pay attention to your phones. Ah, Sister Touka... Let's do as [Joker] said and don't move for now. Rikka's safety still depends on your care."

[Evil King's True Eye]: "My body is fine, I will go with you. Yuta has not yet awakened the power of [Black Flame]. At this time, if a fight breaks out, we can only rely on the power of [Evil King's True Eye]."

[Saint Counselor]: "I agree. In this situation, protecting Rikka is our priority. If Joker truly has good intentions, then everything will be easy to deal with. If he truly harbors hostility, then this girl's power will be indispensable. Perhaps no one else can help you. Even so, do you still want to go and take a look?"

[Dark Flame]: "Yes! I will go."

Touka didn't say anything else, but stood up and walked to Yuta, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on."

However, from the perspective of the [camera], Yuta, who was being encouraged by his elders, suddenly glanced downwards.

Zhixing raised his eyebrows, and the [camera] circled to the front of Touka, confirming that although Yuta's height was the same as Touka's, when one was sitting and the other was standing, they would not see any different places when looking down, and could only see Touka's shoes.

The paper company has secretly checked the secret books and magazines in Yuta's room, and does not think that Yuta of this era would be contaminated by the XP of the foot.

What's more, Yuta is currently surrounded by a Nanami on his left, a Rikka on his right, and a Juuka in front of him. Even if he wants to look, the probability of him looking towards Rikka is higher...

Why does Rikka only have socks?

The [camera] looked at Tohka's feet again, and suddenly, a pair of sandals that were obviously not suitable for wearing indoors came in front of the paper bank's [camera].

In other words...Tohka didn't return to her original place, but went back to Yuta's house with Yuta and the others?

Zhixing swallowed his saliva, intending to continue thinking about what this situation meant.

But Fennel's entrance to the [Witch's Barrier] was already within reach.

Although Zhixing felt that since fate was unchangeable, nothing should happen to Anise, Touka and Anise were original TV characters after all. Even though this world seemed to Zhixing to be following the familiar anime story process, Zhixing did not dare to rest assured.

After all, "P5" may have a world line with a bad ending, which will cause Zhixing to be unable to appear in the interrogation room. What's more, the world line here has been traced back to "Charlotte" again and again.

Zhi Xing trotted to the reference point he had chosen, and then, without waiting to rest, immediately headed into the [Witch's Barrier].

Then, at the call to go back, Paper Line saw the safe and sound figure of Fennel first through the distorted scenery.

"Hmm? What time is it?"

Fennel seemed to be awakened by the changes in the surroundings and the light. Of course, it might also be that the platform she was resting on disappeared, and she woke up from the feeling of falling. She rubbed her eyes and asked.

Zhixing glanced around and did not find Fennel in reality. He then looked at the scene of the [camera] and confirmed that Fennel's position had not changed and was still at the river steps.

"In the Impression Space? When I used [Sightseeing], the progress of exiting the Impression Space couldn't be canceled. How come she can stay in the Impression Space when it's her turn?"

Zhixing muttered something, then entered the [Cognitive World] and caught sight of Fennel's figure from his left eye.

"Ah, Mr. [Yasen]..."

Without waiting for Fennel's greeting, Zhixing immediately reached out and grabbed Fennel's arm, then withdrew from the cognitive world again.

After a flash of red light, Zhixing and Fennel, who was holding his arm, returned to reality where they could still hear the sound of cars.

"The coordinates have changed? Could it be because of the [Witch's Barrier]?"

"Um, what does [Witch's Barrier] mean?"

"Wait a minute, let me think about it..."

"Oh~"

Zhixing interrupted Fennel's questioning and began to think about the comparative experimental method of elimination based on the current strange situation.

I was so panicked when I saw they were injured. In order to locate them, I [traveled] back and then [traveled] back again.

Because we came directly into the hall, there were no fixed entrances and exits.

But even though I don't have a fixed entrance and exit, Tohka's entrance and exit is on the other side of the bridge, and Yuta and the others are at Yuta's house, including Fennel who is standing in front of me, who also lives at Yuta's house.

But in the current experimental situation, not only can I not return to the previous entrance and exit, even Shihua's entrance and exit have changed... No, it's hard to say, I need to ask Shihua in person... Now let's consider the situation on Fennel's side.

Zhixing put on his hood, blocked his ears, closed his eyes, and tried hard to create a dark environment for his thinking, and confirmed the plan that could be used for the experiment.

Fennel was first under [Sightseeing], and because of touching my hand, she was brought into the [Witch's Barrier].

Then I came to this place in reality, re-entered the [Witch's Barrier], and released all the living people inside, but Fennel did not return to reality directly.

The principle of [sightseeing] is to exit the [cognitive world]. On the way to the entrance and exit, you are [teleported] by the [Witch's Barrier], which causes you to be temporarily unaffected by the [cognitive world] and appear in the corresponding position in the real world.

And Yuta and the others did return to Yuta's house, which means that exiting the [cognitive world] should have taken effect normally.

Now Fennel has just returned to the [Cognitive World] from the [Witch's Barrier], and was then taken out by me who re-entered the [Cognitive World]. However, we were on this street near the river, which means that Fennel's entrance and exit should have been modified.

I had clearly come to Lord Mori through [teleportation] not long ago when I was on the first level of the impression space, and had performed operations to enter and exit the [cognitive world]. Lord Mori remained in the same place and did not directly reach the steps of the bridge.

Therefore, we need to prove that [Witch's Barrier] can eliminate other people's fixed entrances and exits in reality.

Zhixing thought about it and made a decision quickly.

Then he continued to hold Fennel's hand and started trying directly.

The specific plan is:

Enter the [Cognitive World] from point A, then [Sightseeing] into the [Witch's Barrier], then exit the [Witch's Barrier], move Fennel to point B in the [Cognitive World], and then bring Fennel back to reality at point B in reality;

Enter the [Cognitive World] from point B, then directly move Fennel to point C in the [Cognitive World]. After moving Fennel to point C in the [Cognitive World], bring Fennel back to reality completely at point C in the [Cognitive World].

Enter the [Cognitive World] from point C, then directly enter the [Witch's Barrier], then exit the [Witch's Barrier], move Fennel to point D in the [Cognitive World], and bring Fennel back to reality at point D in the [Cognitive World];

Enter the [Cognitive World] from point D, then directly enter the [Witch's Barrier], then exit the [Witch's Barrier], move Fennel to point E in the [Cognitive World], and then completely bring Fennel back to reality at point E in reality;

Enter the [Cognitive World] from point E, then enter the [Witch's Barrier] alone, then exit the [Witch's Barrier], move Fennel to point E of the [Cognitive World], and bring Fennel back to reality completely at point F of the [Cognitive World];

Since the speed of entering the [Cognitive World] is very fast, there will be a certain delay only when entering the [Witch's Barrier].

The paper company quickly went through all the results of the experiment.

"Enter from point A, exit from point B; enter from point B, exit from point B; enter from point C, exit from point C; enter from point D, exit from point E"

Although he knew his idea might be wrong midway through the experiment, Zhi Xing still couldn't help but frown and said:

"The change in the entrance and exit has nothing to do with the [Witch's Barrier], but is simply related to... the entrance and exit of those who choose to exit."

"I remember this situation now. It was when Joker was taken away by the police at the casino!"

"If the Phantom Thieves' entrances and exits were still in the same location, the police would either discover Joker had suddenly vanished, or they would have blocked the Phantom Thieves' escape route, forcing them to be apprehended in one fell swoop."

"At that time, Goro Akechi and the other Phantom Thieves successfully retreated. And the fact that Goro Akechi was tricked back into the Palace shows that Joker is no longer in the Palace and is now in the real world."

"So, Joker must have returned to reality with the police, and his exit was different from the Phantom Thieves' entrance, which allowed the rest of the Phantom Thieves to escape."

"After all, with such a noticeable change from a dark building to a brightly lit casino, the police should be able to distinguish the difference. That's why they're waiting outside for the Joker to appear."

The corners of Zhixing's mouth curled up unconsciously, because this discovery seemed to facilitate Zhixing's long-distance reality [teleportation].

Chapter 425: Seemed like I had seen it in a dream?

"Where do we stand next?"

Fennel's words interrupted Zhixing's joy.

Zhixing looked over and found that although Fennel had been conducting so many experiments without knowing why, she did not feel bored with the repetition, nor did she have any intention of digging into the matter. Instead, she cooperated obediently with Zhixing's instructions.

"That's all. Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything you want? This is your reward for helping me with my experiment."

Zhixing let go of his hand and said a little embarrassedly.

It's not because he felt embarrassed about touching the other person, but mainly because this experiment not only solved the problem of Tohka's position change, but also led to the possibility of another ability.

After there were no more questions to think about, Zhixing realized that leaving fennel in the [Witch's Barrier] for the purpose of conducting experiments was somewhat inappropriate.

Even though Zhixing had some confidence that fate could not be changed, for Fennel herself, it was indeed a dangerous place and she could be discovered by the familiar at any time.

Compensation is necessary both morally and logically.

It just so happened that the paper shop here not only had cash that had been exchanged for money, but also other gold that had not been sold.

Therefore, in terms of material things, there is a high probability that the other party's requirements can be met.

Even if there are other requirements, Zhixing feels that since he is going to stay at "Charlotte", he should be able to do it by asking the people there for help.

"Is there anything you want? Mr. [Yasen] helped me set up the nap club, which is more than enough. I haven't even properly thanked him for that yet."

"Let's put things in perspective. Regarding the deal back then, I just wanted you to help put those things together."

Zhixing shook his head. Although he knew that fennel was indeed natural, he did not intend to accept the idea of ​​using it to offset the previous help.

Although a contract should not be a necessary requirement for awakening a personality mask, even the contracts of most Phantom Thieves only appear after awakening.

But Zhixing already knew that the fennel in front of him was in his own palace, so he must have his own secret treasure and could become a member of the [Phantom Thief].

The last nap club was proposed by Zhixing based on the original plot, and this was obviously not what the other party wanted most, so Zhixing planned to take this opportunity to return the favor and try to renegotiate the contract.

According to Zhixing's impression of the original plot of "P5", the transaction between the two parties is not required to be completed after the contract.

It is entirely possible to fulfill the other person's desires first and then realize your own desires, and vice versa.

Through the results of the fennel experiment on the entrance and exit of the [Cognitive World], Zhixing has now satisfied his own desires, so the only way is to conclude a contract and then satisfy the other party's desires.

Since simply entering the [Cognitive World] will not awaken her, and Fennel seems to have super powers to protect herself, if even the hunters in the shadow monsters cannot put pressure on her, then she can only resort to using transactions to induce her desires.

"Well...then, let's help Lord Mori more." Fennel thought about it briefly and suggested.

"Help others? That's fine, but how much do you want me to help you?"

Zhixing calmed himself down and did not reject it. Instead, he asked the other party again what he thought.

In Zhixing's view, any decision a person makes is selfish, even helping others to the point of sacrificing one's own life.

It is nothing more than the need to satisfy joy or honor, which is more than the desire to survive and protect life.

"Mr. Arthur is helping us regain our past, right? Mr. Mori seems to be very popular with Touma-chan, and Mr. Mori also wants to return to his former self."

"Although [Mori-sama] is very good now, if I could find my former self, I would definitely be able to become good friends with [Evil King True Eye] and the others."

Fennel recalled Mr. Mori's performance in the nap club over the past period of time.

Even though Fennel is taking a nap, with her superpowers, she can still understand the situation outside.

Despite the noise and bustle of being in the same club, Fennel still slept soundly and even wished it could last longer.

"Good friends? Is it possible that Lord Mori and Thunder Hammer have a bad relationship? Even if the authenticity of the identity is not confirmed, Thunder Hammer will not give up on Lord Mori, right?"

Zhixing somewhat understood Anise's thoughts, after all, this was the story world of "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!"

Although Fennel is an independent sleeping member and usually doesn't show too much, the others all have a background of chuunibyou.

So they usually play with each other.

But [Black Flame] has [Evil King's True Eye] to play with, and [Evil King's True Eye] also has [Thunder Hammer] to play with. Among these relationships, only [Mr. Mori] has no other relationship with the male protagonist [Black Flame], and does not have much feelings for this club.
