Hearing this question, which seemed to be asked in advance and more like a request, Xunzi did not answer immediately. Instead, he folded his hands and thought distressedly for a while before saying:

"It really depends on the specific situation. Madoka is still young, unlike us. If she takes a wrong step, the whole family's life may be completely changed. In this case, the sooner you realize the cost of mistakes, the sooner you can avoid making them."

"Or is it that Madoka is now in a situation where she can't make any mistakes?"

Xunzi opened one eye and asked confidently.

Zhixing simply withdrew his hand and leaned against the wall behind him, silently looking at the fourth batch of cooked dishes in the middle that were about to be taken out of the pot.

Seeing the attitude of the paper bank, Xunzi also picked up the coin and stopped tossing it. Instead, he stood it up and used two fingers to exert force to spin the coin.

This turn also attracted Zhixing's attention. At this moment, Xunzi covered the still spinning coin and made an expression that said you are not allowed to look.

Zhixing's vision was blocked, so he turned his head and saw Saotome standing beside him. With an idea, he slightly shifted the angle and successfully saw her through Saotome's glasses.

The shadow of a rotating coin, whose front and back cannot be distinguished.

Reluctantly giving up on watching in advance, Zhixing waited for a moment, then saw Xunzi put his hands down and asked:

"What's your choice?"

"Big Adventure, erm, no, it's a human head."

Both of them, who already knew the result, smiled and then revealed the answer to the number.

"Second question: Will what you are doing now or are about to do hurt Madoka's friends?"

"Aren't you asking Madoka?"

"Come one by one. It's two against one anyway, so we're not at a disadvantage."

"What a blatant bullying! Tsk, let me think about it. As for Madoka's friends, well, the past is the past. My current self and my plans have nothing to do with Madoka's friends, except for that person who's like an online friend."

Thinking that after today, he would just watch anime aimlessly and watch despair at night, a schedule that would continue until the Witch Night appeared, Zhixing spread his hands and confidently acknowledged his outsider status.

"That's it."

Xunzi nodded, then picked up the coin and avoided the paper company's snatch.

"Hey, shouldn't it be whoever answers it that gets a turn?"

"Ah, I didn't hear you say that. It's still the same as last round."

Xunzi denied this rule and then threw the coin to Saotome.

Saotome immediately bounced the coin back up after receiving it, completing the task of catching it.

"Tsk, that's the third time, it can't be the same again, show me the face!"

"Oh no, it's still numbers! Mr. Edogawa is so unlucky!"

Xunzi livened up the atmosphere with a joke, while Saotome remained silent in thought. She had many questions about paper trading, but she didn't know which one to ask.

At this time, Zhixing made a pause gesture and added a comment to the question-and-answer session:

"Although you may want to know a lot, I don't actually have that many questions. So, when I finish asking five questions, the Q&A session will end. I've already asked two so far, so please ask your questions carefully."

Then he lifted the gesture and started enjoying the fourth round of hot pot.

"Hmm, it seems like there aren't many opportunities left to dig out your secrets. Okay, then I'll dig out 90% of them. Come on, Kazuko!"

Xunzi slapped Kazuko on the shoulder, waking her from her dilemma. She quickly decided:

"That day, um, you said you'd hold on until that day and not care about Sayaka and Kamijou. What will happen on that day?"

"That's a good question. Let me think about how to answer you better."

"Let's get started. Someone's trying to be clever and not tell the truth. Stop thinking and just speak."

"How can I possibly know so much about the future? Right? I also need to think about how to describe it."

Zhi Xing said this, looked at the fourth round of hot pot, and immediately had an idea:

"Look at this hot pot. Let's say this is Mitakihara."

Zhixing stirred the food in the pot with a public spoon, causing it to float to the surface and pop its head out.

Then, he quickly scooped most of the food from the pot into the bowl. If one bowl couldn't hold all the food, he would use the bowl for cooked food as well.

"Okay, I just got here and haven't eaten much yet, you want it all!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, just listen to me, don't you see there are still a lot left."

Zhi Xing put the two full bowls aside, then used a public soup spoon to pile all the remaining food in the pot to the side closer to the two women. He used the soup spoon to hold it up to prevent the food from sliding out. After looking at the height difference, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"That day, there's a high probability that something like this will happen. You just need to stick together."

Looking at the food piled up under a spoon, and then looking at the soup outside the spoon, which was shallow due to four rounds of scooping, the two women seemed to be thinking about something.

"You just said this is Mitakihara?"

"Hmm~"

"Who do these foods represent?"

"That's another question. Are you sure you want to ask this next time?"

"Hey, isn't this a supplement to this answer? Aren't you doing this on purpose, using this unclear statement as an answer?"

"Then take a picture. After you take it, when the day comes, you will know whether I am telling the truth or not."

Zhi Xing looked at the pile of food and the scarce soup separated by the soup spoon, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the scattered vegetable leaves floating on the surface of the soup because there was only one common soup spoon.

I felt a little dizzy for a moment, and when I looked at the leaves, it seemed as if I saw a bunch of blurry dots.

That was a hazy border far away in the horizon that I could only see from a distance, even with glasses I couldn't see clearly.

Can I only hide behind and watch them fight to the death?

As long as you get a four-color team together, can you easily complete Witch Night like soloing a normal witch?

That day, should I stay in the stadium and hide, or should I go to the front line even though I know I will be of no use, and confirm the final result as I did in the past?

Zhixing's hand holding the soup spoon trembled slightly, and his vision became increasingly blurry.

"Mr. Edogawa? Mr. Edogawa?"

Saotome grabbed the spoon that Zhixing was holding tightly, interrupting Zhixing's thoughts.

"Do you want to continue, or do you have anything to add to the answer just now?"

Saotome saw that Shixing had come to his senses and handed the coin in her hand to Shixing.

"Nothing, I just realized that I was helpless. Really, I almost fell into despair."

Taking the coin, Zhixing looked up at the bright yet dim light in the small room and felt that this was a perfect scene for self-remorse.

Put the coin on the table, and imitate the person next to you who secretly took away a bowl of cooked food, and use two fingers to exert force!

The coin slid to the side and couldn't spin at all.

Zhi Xing didn't believe it and tried again, but it still wouldn't turn, which made Xun Zi, who was eating, burst out laughing.

"Heaven and earth, please help me, please end this quickly."

Zhixing picked up the coin helplessly, spun it low in the air, grabbed it firmly, then held it between his palms and handed it to Xunzi.

"What else is there to choose from? People, people!"

Zhi Xing spread out his palms and cursed inwardly this damn probability theory. It turned out that consecutive numbers would not last long.

"Ask, hurry up, I'm waiting for the next round."

Zhixing casually tossed the coin to Xunzi, who caught it steadily and said:

"You chose this game yourself, so you can't deny it."

"Ahem, then I'll ask a question. Please listen to the question!"

"Does it have to be Madoka?"

"Ah? Ah! Well, there are only a few special people, and Madoka can't escape.

"Did you choose Sayaka because she is a special person?"

"Is this your advance payment?"

"Well, go ahead. I can pay for Kazuko."

Zhi Xing looked at the two people who were helping each other tacitly and sighed:

"As far as I know, there is only one special person in the entire third year of junior high school, and that is Mami Tomoe, whom you know."

"And throughout the entire second year of junior high school, there are only three special people, namely Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname."

"Although I admit that Madoka is special and my Madoka is very well-behaved, I strongly disagree with any other motives towards her because of this."

Although Shunko Kaname didn't fully understand the story behind the paper company, she had heard some information from Kazuko before, and Kazuko had just added a few explanations, so Shunko patiently came to participate in this dinner party that she didn't need to attend.

"They are all students in my class. Isn't this a bit too deliberate?"

Saotome also questioned the paper company's statement.

"Let me add a little more... I'm referring to all the second and third year junior high students in all the schools in Mitakihara."

After Zhixing finished speaking, he took the coin that Xunzi did not keep and started to tossing it by himself.

"Numbers! Hey, why are there consecutive numbers followed by consecutive faces?"

He took the initiative to skip the part where Saotome tossed the coin and asked questions, and immediately started a new round.

"Numbers! Ha, is it really a continuous portrait? Is your coin really fake?"

Xunzi also followed the paper bank's idea and chose the one with greater possibility, but he was still trapped by the low-probability event.

So the paper company asked the third question of the day:

"When you knew that Madoka was willing to take the risk and go out alone to do her own thing, would you have stopped her more forcefully? Even if you knew that Madoka might never come back?"

"That counts as two questions, right? This also needs to be included."

Saotome interrupted in a rare moment.

"Sure, it's hard to think of 5 anyway."

It doesn't matter what the paper says. After all, in the original plot, Yuan Ma basically only has these two key roles. The reason why it was decided to be 5 was simply because they didn't think it through at the time.

"Yuzuka is a good kid, sensible and not impulsive. Although she is still hesitant, when it comes to being decisive, she will always be as decisive as me."

"So, if Madoka hadn't been deceived and had willingly made the decision you said, it might have been a decision she couldn't come back from."

"Then there must be something that requires her, something more important than never seeing her family again. Maybe it's even for us."

Xunzi had no wine to drink, so he could only put his hands on the table, seriously imagining Xiaoyuan's rebellious behavior of leaving despite his opposition, and said with some uncertainty.

"Indeed, Madoka's ability to make decisions on the spot is so fast that others can't react in time to stop her."

Zhixing thought about the decisive execution that even Xiaoyuan's two closest friends had unexpectedly shown.

In the end, Yuan Ma unexpectedly predicted it in advance and gave herself a lot of scenes. She couldn't help but admire:

"As expected of your children, they are all very talented, unlike me, who is not even as good as Madoka."

After Zhixing finished speaking, she shook her head in denial, feeling that she had chosen the wrong reference. Even the human Madoka before she became a magical girl was not comparable to her.

"Well, she's about to start her rebellious phase now, so she really needs to take precautions. Otherwise, it would be bad if she suddenly goes from being a good girl to someone who dyes her hair in a non-mainstream way."

Xunzi thought to himself, then he placed the coin in front of the paper, pinched it with two fingers, and turned it, and the coin began to spin rapidly.

"Snapped!"

Xunzi was in no mood to wait for the coin to settle, so he pressed it down and looked at the paper line.

"Numbers! Open it and end the questioning."

Xunzi also carefully moved his hand away and looked at the coin.

The profile on the coin is also looking in the direction of the paper.

"It seems we still have a chance to ask questions before the next number."

After Xunzi confirmed the result, he turned his gaze to Hezi, then moved his butt and leaned next to Hezi.

"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and ask, why are you running?"

"Since we can't ask all the questions, we must share information first. Go eat your food, go go."

Zhixing reluctantly began to finish the cooked food in his bowl. After a while, when the two had finished their conversation, Xunzi asked in surprise:
