Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing shook his head. Although he knew that it was the problem of the Witch's Kiss and he was currently under the influence of the Witch's Kiss, he decided to wait until he and Xiaoyan returned to understand these things better.

Zhixing looked at the rooftop where he was the only one left because he had entered the barrier. He sighed at the empty sky, then closed his eyes, wanting to determine the outcome of the battle by positioning himself.

"The witch should be...huh? Why is the witch still so small? Could it be that!"

Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes and looked beyond the front of the rooftop to a farther direction.

"Sayaka, what happened to your magic? Why is it so turbid?"

The air on the rooftop suddenly twisted, and several figures appeared in front of Zhixing along with Mami's shouts.

"Ms. Mami, it's okay. Just use the Seed of Sorrow. I rushed too far, so I used up a bit of magic power."

While Sayaka was treating the patient and responding to Mami's concern, her eyes were looking around, trying to see the black seed of sorrow in the night sky.

"Hey, hey, hey, where's the Seed of Sorrow? Aren't all the ones this guy can attract witches that can drop them? This is different from what we agreed on."

"No, take a closer look. The witch's kiss is still on Conan's neck. The one he just hit should be a familiar passing by here."

Xiao Yan looked back at the paper line, then followed her line of sight to the front, in the direction where the familiar had just come from.

"Stop the nonsense. I can still tell the difference between a familiar and a witch. That guy is indeed a witch-level, so it's normal to be attracted to him just like a witch."

Xingzi glanced at Zhixing, who was covering his neck with his hands and not showing the Witch's Kiss, and immediately retorted.

"The real witch is still ahead, right? Then Sayaka, please undo your transformation and save your magic power."

Asami listened to the voice coming from behind and remembered Zhixing's definition of magic, so she spoke to Sayaka with concern.

"Well, first..."

Sayaka used magic to heal the wounds she had taken to cover up the consumption of magic power. She agreed and canceled the magical girl's transformation. Then she was unable to stand and fell to the ground on the rooftop.

Chapter 100 Personnel in Place

Closing his eyes, there was no reference in the pitch-black vision. He could only rely on the size of the witch's image to distinguish the distance, and the trajectory marked by the witch's kiss, which seemed to automatically find its way to guide him to the witch's barrier.

Opening her eyes, Sayaka, who was closest to the edge of the rooftop, was caught by Asami as she fell forward, while Kyoko also ran over from the distance watching. Only Homura stood in the middle of the rooftop, unmoved.

As the paper merchant standing on the other side of the rooftop, he couldn't hear the words coming from the other side at such a distance, so he covered his neck and walked towards the girls.

Sayaka's weakness only lasted for a few seconds. She quickly regained control of her body and managed to stand up by holding on to the railing.

"What are you doing? You're so weak. You're a magical girl."

Xingzi, who arrived at the scene first, laughed.

"Kyoko."

Asami called out Kyoko's name, then shook her head, indicating that the problem was indeed serious.

"Ah~ I've been defeated. The consumption of magic power did have a significant impact on my body, but I've recovered. Don't worry, I can hold on even if there's another battle!"

"Don't force yourself. You're already this weak. It's a bit embarrassing, but I've experienced it before. It's not pleasant to be a magical girl without magic. Even if you become a magical girl again, you still won't be able to fight well and it will be difficult to concentrate."

Asami supported Sayaka, used her own example to dispel Sayaka's insistence, and then suggested:

"When the real witch arrives, you stay outside to protect Conan. I'll help you get the Seed of Sorrow. I just recovered to full strength yesterday, so I'm at my best right now."

"Right, right. Newcomers should just stay put. Don't always think you're good enough and rush forward. Show me the gem. I can even lend you the Seed of Sorrow."

"Thank you for your concern, Mami-san, but I think it would be better for me to be on the front lines. If there really is a problem, I can help out right away. Also, I was just careless just now. It won't happen again, so I don't need your seeds of sorrow."

Sayaka responded to the two people's concern and secretly clenched the hand that had turned the gem back into a ring, otherwise Kyoko would see that her magic power was depleted.

After all, although the Seeds of Sorrow can be used multiple times, once the Seeds of Sorrow are used, they cannot be stopped unless the Seeds of Sorrow are full or there is no filth in the Soul Gem.

Therefore, if you really borrow Xingzi's Seeds of Sorrow, you will definitely use up the number of times directly, and then change the ownership of the next Seeds of Sorrow.

Since the result is the same, it would be better not to do this favor. What if Xingzi's Seed of Sorrow has actually been used once?

Choose the lesser of two evils. Although Sayaka is not very smart in studying, she is surprisingly clear-headed at times like this.

"Hey, Xiaomei, is magic power the same as life force?"

"That's fine too. As long as you know that you'll die if your magic power runs out, it doesn't matter whether you're in battle or not."

After confirming with Homura, Asami recalled what she had just seen of Sayaka's Soul Gem.

Based on my own experience, I roughly estimated that as long as I didn't participate in the battle head-on, I should be able to hold on.

So after reminding Sayaka again not to join the battle, he let go of Sayaka, who was gradually regaining her strength and able to stand on her own, and turned to look at Zhixing who was running towards her.

"The witch's position has stopped. The one who just came over was not the witch I attracted."

Zhixing immediately reported what he knew, and at the same time, he let go of his hand, pointed in the direction of the witch, and then covered it back.

"It seems our plan of waiting and waiting has failed. Everyone, stop wasting time and destroy the witch from above."

After saying that, Mami looked in that direction, at another building not too far away, just across the street. Without even transforming, she quickly jumped from one rooftop to another.

"Take a good look at how we can fight more efficiently, newbie."

Kyoko yawned, then jumped up and left after Asami.

After the two left, it was Homura's turn to leave, but she didn't immediately follow. Instead, she looked at Zhi Xing who was holding his neck and asked in confusion:

"But the palm can't stop the witch's kiss and the witch's connection. What are you doing?"

"Hmm? Ah, I just found out that the Witch's Kiss seems to change people, so I'm a little uneasy."

Homura sighed and said:

"Don't take so many settings seriously. After all, many of them are fake. So, do you want me to lead you or should Sayaka lead you?"

"Hmm? Should I go too?"

"Of course, if you don't go and see it in person, how can you know why the witch stopped? Because you can indeed attract the witch to move towards you."

Zhixing looked at Sayaka, who no longer showed any signs of fatigue, and still chose Homura.

"Close your eyes and squat down."

Zhixing did as he was told in confusion, and then he felt a touching sensation on his butt. Before he could react, a strong gust of wind rushed towards him from above his head.

No, it's the paper industry that's moving against the wind.

Zhi Xing felt the sky was empty and he felt a sense of weightlessness. Although he was still flying forward, he was already feeling weightless.

Zhi Xing could only grit his teeth and close his eyes to prevent the strong wind from invading.

Soon, the forward wind force slowed down, leaving only the downward force that continued to increase.

Zhixing didn't even dare to open his eyes. He felt that the whole world was spinning. If the image of the witch had not been there, allowing Zhixing to tell that he was approaching the witch, Zhixing would have almost thought that this was a fantasy world that appeared like a kaleidoscope because he couldn't stand the reality.

Accompanied by the sound of several ribbons being pulled, Zhi Xing felt that his falling speed was rapidly slowing down and soon stopped.

"Where are Akemi-san and Sayaka?"

Mami took back the ribbon and looked in the direction she came from with a strange look.

"It actually just flew right over here. Is that his magic? But I can't see how it landed."

Because of the whereabouts of Kazuo, Anzi had to follow Mami and change the route to Kazuo's landing point. She originally thought she could see Homura's magic, but if Mami had not taken action in time, Kazuo would probably have crashed into the building.

Zhi Xing stood up from the protection of the ribbon, and his eyes followed Mami's gaze in the direction they came from.

Although there are no people living in this area, the street lights are still on, so you can still see some of the environment on the roof, even the paper shops.

Therefore, Kazuyuki clearly realized that Homura and Sayaka did not jump from the roof to follow him.

"No way."

What will happen when Sayaka, who is about to run out of magic power, and Homura, who has long black hair and is now able to fight Witch Night alone, are alone together?

Zhixing doesn't agree with this. After all, the situation is different now. At least the fact that the Soul Gem is a weakness has been exposed. So if Homura brings Sayaka out without the Soul Gem, she will definitely be suspected. So... she shouldn't do something like letting the mermaid witch destroy Sayaka's body, right?

"So, what should we do, Asami? Should we take Conan and continue looking for the witch, or should we turn back and look for the two who have fallen behind? If a familiar that isn't a witch shows up just as we're leaving, Sayaka won't be able to hold on."

Kyoko faced the direction she had turned in before, waiting for Mami's decision.

Asami looked at the group of rooftops where no one was jumping, then looked at the paper bank thrown here, then took out her cell phone and called Sayaka.

It didn't take long before the call was connected.

After asking about the situation briefly, Mami hung up the phone and turned around and said:

"Both of them are fine. Let's go check on the witch first."

As he spoke, he skillfully took out a ribbon and swung it casually, trapping the paper line. Then he started to act like Spider-Man with the paper line. Well, the paper line was the takeaway pizza.

With the help of the takeaway navigation, the two deliverymen successfully delivered the takeaway ordered by the witch using the Witch's Kiss to the designated location. Then Mami took out her mobile phone to notify that the takeaway had been delivered and informed her whereabouts. She then put the takeaway outside, and the two deliverymen rushed into the witch's room in uniform.

The paper shop opened the takeaway packaging and looked around.

The road was filled with weeds and various vegetation, and there were no street lights nearby, but there were no abandoned high-rise buildings blocking the view, so the surrounding scenery could still be seen clearly in the moonlight.

Zhixing was not surprised by this. After all, halfway through, because the distance between the buildings became longer, two magical girls came down from the roof and carried Zhixing on their backs with one hand like a sack. So Zhixing knew very well that he was probably outside Mitakihara.

"As I recall, Mitakihara is a city by the sea."

Zhixing looked at the surrounding environment and felt that it seemed a little unreasonable, but other than that, Zhixing didn't find anything else.

Zhixing closed his eyes and looked at the witch's image close to him. After confirming that there were no other variables this time, he opened his eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Zhixing didn't have to wait too long before the two magical girls reappeared in his sight.

"Over here, Homura, Sayaka."

The two of them passed by Zhixing at lightning speed, said hello, and then entered the witch's barrier one after another.

"Given the time difference, they were also running over here just now, but they didn't jump from the rooftop."

Watching the entrance to the barrier in front of him slowly disappear, Zhixing carefully touched the surrounding flowers and plants to confirm that all this was real.

"It seems that even in coastal cities, the suburbs are the same. I just don't have common sense."

Looking at the flowers with clear patterns on them, Zhi Xing was even more confused.

If the witch took a break after moving for a while because the distance was too far, then why is she still indifferent now that the distance is so close?

At that time, the magical girls were all inside the barrier, and the witches could move away, let alone now.

Thinking of this, Zhixing carefully took a few steps forward, observing the ground and the sky, but still found nothing.

Just as Zhihang was about to move forward, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

Zhixing turned around and saw a red-haired woman wearing a magical girl's outfit looking at him not far behind him.

"Isn't this...an official person?"

"Don't go any closer outside, there's more than one witch out there."

Along with the sound, a piece of land was lifted up, revealing an underground passage.

Then, You came out of the passage wearing sunglasses.

"You said there's more than one witch out there?"

"Yes, further ahead is the Mitakihara barrier. If you leave here, you can't come back except for the magical girl."

"What is this barrier for?"

Zhixing's heartbeat began to accelerate, fearing that he would hear from the other party that this was Yinting.

"This barrier was created by Mami Tomoe's wish. It's used to filter out familiars."

"Asami can form a barrier by herself?"

"As for the results, yes. After all, when we discovered the barrier in Mitakihara, it was after Mami became a magical girl."

"So you're here to stop me from leaving?"

"That's right. If you leave from anywhere other than the proper highway, you will be blocked by the barrier."

"You just said that this is just to filter out familiars, right? Then why is the witch outside?"

"This brings us to the workings of this barrier. Since we're staying in Mitakihara, we'll naturally understand the rules within this city's barrier. So, we investigated Mami Tomoe's wishes and came to a conclusion: this barrier emits an aura or something similar that attracts familiars. Therefore, the familiars gather near the barrier, and once it's absorbed, they disperse. Most of them are blocked outside by the barrier and leave for the wild."

"The witch's barrier also has familiars, so the effect is similar, but with the witch present, the barrier is absorbed much faster."

Zhixing nodded. When he knew that the effect of wishes on magical girls would be greatly weakened, he had doubted that Mami was able to survive because her wish attracted the witch with the Seed of Sorrow. But now it seems that it is probably because the barrier of wishes has been selected, so only the witch with the Seed of Sorrow can ignore the barrier's defense and temptation and go directly into the city.

"So, are you here specifically to remind me? Or do you have something to talk to me about?"

Although he had not anticipated the emergence of the Apostle Organization, he still had some guesses that after he had handed Kamijou over, they would come looking for him.

"I wasn't looking for you on purpose. I was just helping a new employee get acquainted with their work, and I saw an early warning that someone was about to leave the barrier, so I rushed over."
