Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"But I'm unfamiliar with the place, so if I want to do something, I have to look up the location online, but the phone I've been given doesn't have the corresponding information."

"So, Homura doesn't want me to run away from home again?"

"And the teacher's change of heart is quite strange. Was it really because of Madoka that the time was changed? Or was it because of Sayaka's experience that the teacher was drawn into the dark side of this world?"

Zhixing tried to weigh the pros and cons, but his mind was full of reasons not to go to the appointment, and the original reason for asking Yuanma out was no longer visible.

"How about we just switch to an online class? No, a video conference? No, if there's no internet, how about a phone conference? No, we can't have a conversation with three of us. I can't just ignore the teacher's questions and talk to Yuan Ma directly. Or maybe the teacher will finish what he wants to know, say hello to Yuan Ma, and end it right away."

Zhixing took a step back, blocked out the noise from his phone, and began to reflect while leaning against the wall.

"In the final analysis, the only reason I remembered Yuan Ma was because when the teacher called, I happened to be looking at my own strategy and starting to think about my future. So I thought of Yuan Ma and casually mentioned it. I didn't expect that the teacher could actually get an appointment with Yuan Ma."

"No, it felt wrong from the beginning. Why would I choose to accept someone else's request to communicate? I'm obviously a social anxiety person. When the teacher said she wouldn't contact me anymore and my memory was about to be wiped out, why didn't I just hang up on her and even make a request?"

Zhixing looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the corridor, and his inner emotions dissipated a little.

"I guess he just wanted to check in on all the characters, like rotating through tourist attractions. Now, it seems like I've seen everyone except Madoka's family and the cannon fodder group, huh? It seems Nakazawa-san hasn't seen them, or at least hasn't recognized them."

After roughly counting the characters in Magic Circle, Zhixing found a reason for his behavior of going to see Yuan's mother. Unfortunately, this reason was too small, so small that he had no motivation to fight against the safer and happier life at home.

He took out the key and opened the door of Xiaoyan's house. As he was taking off his shoes, he suddenly remembered that the garbage he had created was still there. Since he had already put on socks and took the key, he decided to go out and throw it away.

So, without paying any attention to the paper shop that was sorting the garbage here, he took out the takeaway box from lunch separately, then turned off the data on his old phone to save power with one click, leaving only the phone function working normally, then walked out of Xiaoyan's house and went down to the first floor.

Not long after walking, the paper merchant saw a trash can and threw the paper away directly. Then he tore off the part with words on it and put it in a trash can farther away.

He put his hands in his pockets and prepared to stop by the convenience store to buy some snacks to stock up.

When Zhixing put his hand into his trouser pocket, he felt a cold touch from his fingertips. He instinctively knew that it was a small change coin, so he took it out and played with it.

Although they have different portraits and denominations, their functions are the same. They can be used to buy subway tickets and are also used for change at convenience stores. In addition, paper banks do not replace things like pajamas, so coins are kept in paper bank trouser pockets for a long time.

It's rare to have the time to look at these coins of different styles without a shopping mentality.

Instinctively, really just instinctively, Zhi Xing flipped the coin up, then stretched out one hand and aimed at the distance, making an aiming gesture.

"Ding~"

The paper bank, which didn't know how to toss a coin, threw the coin in vain, and it didn't even fall in front of it.

Zhi Xing turned around hurriedly and began to look for the fallen coin.

Wearing glasses with matching prescription, Zhixing quickly saw the coin still rolling.

"Ding~"

The coin hit the wall and stopped moving. It did a Thomas spin, spun ninety-nine and eighty-one times, and then lay steadily on the ground.

The man who was moving towards the coin stopped and his eyes fell on the coin, which was lying flat, but because it was a little far away and relatively small, he couldn't see its specific appearance even with his glasses.

An idea came into Zhixing's mind.

"If people from the future can rely on intelligence to make corrections and changes, then how can time travelers who know about people from the future keep up with them, rather than being ignored by the familiar?"

Zhixing stood there, took out another coin from his pocket, looked at the clear front and back, with a portrait on one side and a number on the other. His breathing quickened, and he quickly shook his head and denied it.

"No one would want to use a coin to make a life-or-death decision for themselves, right? No way? How could I? Isn't the information clearly written? I only became a variable under Homura's influence?"

(...I didn't really interact with him this time, so why did something unexpected happen?)

"No, no, that's not right. Although there may be random factors in the results of what I do, except for unexpected events, everything is carried out according to my own expectations. How could there be any variables?"

Zhi Xing looked at the coin in front of him and began to reverse-analyze his past.

According to the information, this happened only after he came into contact with Homura. It was Homura's interference. The same goes for the phone call. Going further, he escaped from Asami's house because of Plan F. This was something he could think of with his own mind, and it would not be a variable.

Mami's incident was basically synchronized with Charlotte, the snack witch, and should have been part of Homura's plan. Similarly, for more than a week before this, I was under Mami's care and had always been a little follower, with no room for choice.

So, the only times you really need to make choices are when you are on your own, when you are kissed by an unexpected witch, or when you are trapped in the witch's barrier?

No, Conan is a fixed code name, and my coma is also fixed. As for future explanations, it depends on the situation. Even if I have to improvise, I will only use this to explain my origins.

Zhi Xing frowned, thinking about the background story he had been thinking hard about during Witch Night, and it turned out to be something he could come up with in just a few minutes in front of Xiao Yan's bed. He almost got distracted by his own incompetence.

"Further ahead is... Madoka's first meeting?"

Even though she seemed to be treated as a weirdo at the time, it shouldn't have caused any impact, otherwise Homura could have delayed the time for herself to be rescued. Didn't she know that she would find Madoka?

"Is it because I called both of their names?"

The paper bank takes it into consideration and moves forward.

Further ahead is a park in a safe residential area, that's for sure, and then... wait, it seems like I've missed the way to find Xiaoyuan.

The paper merchant took out a coin and covered it in front of a passerby from a distance for comparison.

"That's a bit far-fetched. Does this count as using coins?"

After adding the alternative options, we can move forward to: parks, schools, hospitals, and pedestrian streets.

These are the places where the plot takes place and you have to explore and search for them when you come to Magic Circle. They are much easier to find than those abandoned buildings whose coordinates are unknown.

Going further, I used my phone to look at the map. I found the name of the city, which made sense. I felt like I had traveled through time, and it was here. If I wasn't looking for the high school student who saved the world, I would have to look at the special buildings in the local area. The first thing, of course, was to look directly at the city it belonged to.

It can't be that after I found out that it was the world of Madoka Magica, the series would be different. That would also be considered a variable, right?

Continuing to move forward, the man lying in the alley appeared in Zhixing's mind.

Although I don't remember what he looks like, I will go looking for him because he is the first victim of an unknown incident I have encountered, or maybe he is a drunk office worker.

Because the magical girl cannot eliminate the effects of the witch's kiss, when the magical girl enters the barrier to fight the witch/familiar, the victim outside will often be passively unconscious and will only slowly wake up after everything is resolved.

"Could it be that Asami was cleaning out familiars nearby at the time?"

Although there is no connection between the previous and the next, the paper company still reluctantly includes this as an option.

And if he continued forward, because he was unfamiliar with the place and was moving aimlessly, he might have left the mall at a different time, thus missing the brief window of time when Mami was cleaning up her familiars.

No, it's better to say that I missed the direct contact with Mami, which led to me sleeping in the park for a few days afterwards...

Freeze the memory at the scene where you look back at Homura playing with the cat.

The paper bank president sighed, his doubts showing no sign of being resolved.

"Maybe I could just meet Mami and come up with my future story on the spot, but since I can't fall unconscious, how can I convince Mami to take me in? Do I have to go through the whole story of entering the witch's barrier again?"

"No, I'm thinking the wrong thing again. How could I possibly bet that my on-the-spot performance would live up to expectations? Besides, this is a real-life world. Can I really recognize Asami's identity in the brief moment she defeats her familiar and emerges before she undoes her transformation?"

I tried to rely on my brain, which couldn't remember things 100%, to recall what I had experienced during this period of time. I roughly sorted out the plans I had made, but I didn't find anything that could be called a variable.

He let out a long breath, took a few steps forward, and picked up the coins on the ground.

"Well, let's do it then."

Although they have not found the reason why they are called variables, if you ask whether the paper bank is willing to have variables, of course they definitely are.

Haven’t you seen that in a certain “Legend”, there are actually reincarnations who, because they understand the plot too well, become crazy and start to go on the killing spree?

Although Xiaoyan would not do this, after all, it happened a few times, but any help is appreciated.

A tool who never changes will only be abandoned!

Only those that are flexible and have uncontrollable variables can get investment.

"Is there a variable element? The world line, rewrite it right now!"

Zhi Xing restrained himself and said:

"Conversation through faces, two-dimensionality through numbers, come out, the conclusion of Steins;Gate!"

The paper will be flipped up into the sky with the numbers facing upwards.

Then he trotted after the falling coin, and watched the spinning coin closely until the dust settled.

"Tsk, human face, that's a choice I wouldn't make."

He put the coins away and in order to avoid regretting it, Zhixing immediately ran to the subway station.

Unblock your old phone and open a map to view your location, including the distance and time.

After some checking, he found that he had more than enough time, so he slowed down and began to look at the people around him.

Just like he had never paid attention to the difference between coins and other foreign currencies before, after Zhixing came to Mitakihara, he was basically either busy on the road, patrolling on the subway, traveling at night, or being alone and bored. In short, he treated passers-by as if they didn't exist and no one interfered with anyone else.

The paper shop looked at the passers-by: office workers with obvious goals, students in school uniforms walking home from school, some rare young people walking together, and families shopping with their children.

Some are waiting for the bus, some are heading to the subway, some are entering a store, and some are just chatting passing by.

Zhixing deliberately approached a few pairs of pedestrians, and after careful observation, he confirmed that they were real living people, not NPCs filled in by familiars in the plot version.

Zhihang stood at the entrance of an alley, looking at the stray cat rummaging through the garbage, marveling at it.

The outer cities have been abandoned and all the people have concentrated in the high-rise buildings in the center. However, there are still so many alleys occupying the land. Is it because they think there is not enough space for demons to harm people?

I walked through the alleys along the way. Although I didn't dare to go in to take a look, I was surprised to find that there were no gangsters occupying them.

Zhixing recalled the gang group that first collected guns in the original story of Xiaoyan, and confirmed that the underworld here is still legalized, and even has a large territory, so they can fight with real weapons.

However, there was not a single non-mainstream person with dyed hair, which disappointed the paper shops that wanted to see more two-dimensional elements.

I walked to the tram station, bought the ticket at the paper bank, took out my phone and searched for local comic exhibitions.

"Tsk, it's too late this month."

Zhihang rarely had the mood to leave his bed with electricity, internet, air conditioning, food and drink. He planned to include the comic exhibition in the coin-operated session, but could only exit the page regretfully.

"Hey, what is this?"

Zhihang, who hadn't been online for a long time, saw the hot searches that appeared after the comic exhibition was deleted, as well as the pictures below the hot searches, and clicked on them out of curiosity to listen.

"With the increasing number of teenagers running away from home, we urge everyone to strengthen psychological education for children and not let them become homeless people who may not live to see the next day."

【Girl's Missing Person Notice】

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t write this based on a coin flip.

I just acted simply and without any plan, using my ability to improvise.

I'm writing about developments that I don't even know about.

I'm also waiting for my update, so one chapter a day is not too little, I don't have any in stock.

ps2: If Kaiten was released in January 2005, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of this wave of popularity. I feel like there isn't much to write about Madoka Magica's plot, and I don't know how to write about daily life and battles.

Chapter 62: Saotome's Interference in the Magical Girl's Affairs

I flipped through the report. Although I didn't understand it, I listened to the parts with numbers and still understood most of it.

"I was wondering how it could be reported. It turns out there are more than just girls involved."

The paper industry also felt a little scalp tingling when looking at this number.

There are more than 700 cities in this land. In addition to kindergartens and primary schools with weak autonomy, each city has more than 70 or even 100 schools. In one city, more than 400 students are missing every year, although the reports say there are both boys and girls, and their ages are not limited to junior high school students.

"Are all disasters blamed on the witch?"

Zhixing frowned, thinking of the witches he had met before, and immediately began to deny it in his heart.

"No wonder he doesn't care about individuals. Kyubey, that guy, is really...sigh."

Originally, when they first started, Zhixing had thought of using missing person notices to identify magical girls, and then asked Xiaoyan to contact them in advance. After all, the missing person notices would leave a phone number.

However, there are too many people here, and the number is too large for the paper bank that has not magnified its perspective.

Even though there may be more people in this report who were saved by magical girls and escaped the fate recorded, what can be presented to the paper is still only a large number of victims.

Thinking of this, Zhixing had an idea and listened to the report carefully again. He began to draft a new character in his mind.

In order to confirm whether this hot search is a coincidence, Zhihang did a special search and found that it was data that took several months to collect. It was also confirmed that there is still a high probability of seeing it in Zhihang in other weeks.

So Zhixing paid attention to the arrival time, then began to close his eyes and think, perfecting the character he had just thought of.

He looked away from Zhihang and checked the report on his phone.

"What is your purpose in coming here?"

Kyubey, who was lying beside him, blinked his red eyes to express his confusion at Zhixing's behavior.

As an ordinary person, it would be fine if you didn't know the truth, but why would you approach a magical girl when you know so much about the truth?

It is said that the witch's kiss cannot be immune, but from the witch's performance, it seems that she has no intention of harming Conan, and Conan can also break free from her control on his own.

Even if you didn't know at first that you could do this, you should have come to your senses now.

Instead of choosing to escape or maintain the status quo, he went out of his way to find two adults who were completely unaware of the truth.

Even though Kyubey has a huge database of human behavior, it is still difficult to understand.
