Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"After watching the prince in distress, she rescued him and then paid a price in exchange for her legs. After reaching shore, she discovered that the person the prince loved was not her. Someone persuaded her to use the prince in exchange for her mermaid tail, but the mermaid refused and so she threw herself into the sea and turned into foam."

"Do you think Sayaka fits this prophecy?"

Although Zhixing was very concerned about the prophecy, he thought about it for a while and nodded.

Kamijou is beyond cure, so Sayaka makes a wish to save Kamijou and turns into a magical girl. However, she finds out that her love has been taken away by her best friend, which shakes her sense of justice. Kyoko also tries to persuade her to turn back, but Sayaka insists on her own way and eventually becomes a witch in this sea of ​​society.

"Then, does the current situation conform to this?"

"Eh? Now?"

Zhixing frowned. He no longer had the perspective of a God, and had no idea what happened to Sayaka. He even found out about saving Renmei only after an unknown amount of time had passed. How could he tell the difference?

Zhixing thought of Kamijou. Compared to his contact with Sayaka, Kamijou's situation was easier to judge, so he deduced based on Kamijou's vision.

The doctor hadn't given up hope yet, but his arm suddenly healed, so he came to school early. Although I don't know whether Hitomi confessed her feelings, no, judging from Sayaka's reaction, Hitomi was not in such a hurry to confess her feelings.

Well, the love did not transfer, Kamijou learned from himself that the miracle was exchanged by Sayaka, and wanted to repay this favor.

Although as a boy, it is impossible for me to repay someone with my body in a way that would be considered as taking advantage of him, there is nothing else I can do to repay him.

Judging from the above information, it is estimated that he will do the same as in the original work, thinking of practicing music and then playing a song for Sayaka alone to thank Sayaka for her company.

But sacrificing one's life to help someone is not something that can be achieved with just one or two songs, and Kamijou should understand that.

So, Kamijou felt a sense of indebtedness for Sayaka's rescue, rather than love? At the urging of the Apostle Kamijou, Sayaka gave up her wish and returned to... becoming a witch?

Zhihang's brows were furrowed more and more, and he had no idea what to think as he just improvised.

Homura waited for a moment, and after assuming that Zhi Xing had thought it through, she spoke again:

"You should be aware that a witch's image will change depending on the magical girl's own situation."

"Then why is Sayaka still a mermaid witch now?"

"Could it be that"

Zhixing suddenly realized something and turned back to look at the mermaid witch in disbelief.

The collar, which is higher than the head, stands like a fan, the head is wrapped in a helmet with three eye holes, and a red bow is tied around the neck. The left hand holds a sword in the air but does not use it to attack. Instead, it is like a baton, directing the attack of the familiar, while the free right hand often punches.

The black cloak, armor-like body, and the mermaid tail covered with fish scales fixed the witch to her seat, unable to move. She could only attack with wheels flying out from behind her continuously.

After confirming that the witch's identity had not changed, Zhixing couldn't help but look around, but found that there was only an empty concert hall around, but no familiars were seen, and naturally, he couldn't see the familiar Kamijou who was responsible for playing the violin.

Zhixing couldn't find a complete answer from Sayaka, so he could only ask:

"So, the witch's appearance can indeed change, right?"

"Of course, provided you don't get involved."

Zhixing was thinking about his own judgment that the cause and effect was 0, which was recorded in the data.

If I take the butterfly effect as my cause and effect, then when it can influence Homura to transfer information, it should not be close to 0 no matter how I think about it, but I still wrote it this way.

So, under what circumstances would one come to this conclusion knowing that one has changed the world?

"Because I can't change the future?"

Homura turned her head and looked at the irritable man who was running far away, but because the wall had not yet formed, she could clearly see him wandering among the scattered familiars on the periphery, recording something back and forth.

"You can see him too, right? The man the magical girl promised to hide well and not be discovered."

Zhi Xing looked through the glasses, and although they didn't have a telescope function, he could still tell that the person was one of the official trio.

"Because of his wish to remain undetected, ordinary people and familiars cannot detect his presence if he wishes. Even if he is right next to them, as soon as they come into contact with others, they will immediately become aware of his presence."

"Your situation is exactly the opposite of his. Just seeing you doesn't matter, but once they start talking, the consequences will ignore your influence and follow the established cause and effect."

"Any number multiplied by 1 remains the same number. So-called cause and effect is the interaction between people. Changing the future simply adds the step of multiplication by 1, delaying the result."

"Wait, wait, doesn't physical contact count? Otherwise, how can I influence you if we can't even have a conversation?"

“If I were to directly mention physical contact, you’d ask if it counted as a conversation, so it’d be easier to accept if you denied it yourself. After all, Kamijou’s finger was severed before we came into contact, wasn’t it?”

"If contact is a condition, then why?"

Zhixing looked at Xiaoyan and clearly remembered that Xiaoyan took the initiative to pull his... clothes?

Even when he asked me to teach cooking at close range, there didn't seem to be any physical contact, but he asked me to wear gloves.

"For a magical girl, the body is just a piece of armor. Adding a few more layers of clothing can only protect a thing. Look at Sayaka. Have you ever had any contact with her?"

Zhixing has always kept a straight man's distance from the girls and would not have any contact with them under normal circumstances. Therefore, when they can have contact, it is only in these situations.

Rushing, falling, getting beaten.

Unfortunately, all three of them came into contact with paperwork because of this.

"I've already completed all the necessary changes before contacting you. This is why I'm letting you go out on your own. Things will change too much later, so it's better to stick to a fixed plan."

"Is this situation destined since I came into contact with them?"

"If you had come into contact with both before Kamijou's finger was severed, then this outcome probably wouldn't have happened."

Looking at the two girls who were being entangled by Sayaka's constantly summoned familiars, not wanting to waste too much magic power, but also not daring to easily kill the witch, the battle was at a stalemate and said:

"What are the plans next? What will happen to Asami?"

"Asami made the right choice. She prioritized putting aside her fear of magical girls and targeting witches, so she could survive until the Witch Night."

"So don't worry, the only one who died today was Sayaka."

"Blue Hair... Have you ever thought about what Madoka would think?"

"Before Sayaka came into contact with you, she had often skipped the three-person group games because you asked her to make a wish in advance. Therefore, Madoka would have been mentally prepared for anything that might happen to Sayaka."

"So, you're all ready?"

"Well, I've made all the necessary preparations."

Homura raised her shield and clapped it, indicating that she was fully prepared.

Wait, a long wait.

In the end, Sayaka's mermaid witch was killed by Mami's finishing blow, and from beginning to end, Zhixing never stepped forward and tried to say a word.

The barrier slowly disappeared, announcing the girl's complete death.

Zhi Xing looked at Sayaka's body, which was clearly tied up by Mami's ribbons. As the barrier dissipated, it also became ethereal and finally disappeared into the air, leaving nothing behind except a seed of sorrow.

Without looking at Anzi and Mami who were approaching the Seed of Sorrow, Zhixing turned his head to look at the irritable man who should have been far away but was not far away from him due to the disappearance of the barrier due to the change in space.

"You won't tell Kamijou the truth, will you?"

"How could I possibly hide something I've personally experienced?"

"Find another excuse to postpone it. At least there won't be any problems this week."

"Hmph, first..."

The world turned black and white, interrupting the grumpy man's words.

When Zhixing turned around, he saw Xiaoyan pulling Anzi, and together they were admiring the sight of the bullet made of ribbons flying in the air.

"You can even take advantage of Asami's breakdown? Is that really something you would do? Or, what did I do to Homura? How could a Homura like that last for a hundred rounds?"

Sayaka is finished, so this round is destined to be abandoned. Since the hope is placed on the next round, the only option is to follow the TV plot line. In the eyes of Homura, who no longer values ​​life so much, how much influence can Madoka's death have?

"...Mind your own problems and don't worry about us."

The grumpy man blinked and watched Zhixing and Xiaoyan teleport away from their original positions. He then looked at the two magical girls, one black and one red, in the distance and saw that they cooperated to successfully knock Mami's soul gem out and quickly rose into the air, exceeding the 100-meter limit.

"Excuse me, I'll do it, bye."

The irritable man immediately ended the conversation, turned around and fled into the underground passage without looking back.

Zhixing turned around and looked at the two women who had worked together to break through Mami's defenses and successfully separated the Soul Gem from her body. They were talking to each other on the spot.

After waiting silently for a while, Xiao Yan came back and told the final result:

"Sayaka's Seed of Sorrow will be used by Kyoko, and Mami's body will be in our care. Kyoko will be responsible for the safekeeping of the Soul Gem. We will reunite on Witch Night to revive Mami. Before then, she will not meet us again."

"Aren't you afraid she'll run away?"

"Didn't Xingzi really hit you? Well, she wouldn't run away."

"I...I don't even remember where I was hit. Is this how I used it?"

"The interaction of cause and effect can't be blocked by a few layers of cloth, so it's okay if you don't pay attention to it."

Homura explained while holding Asami's body and effortlessly standing in front of the paper line.

Zhixing watched Xingzi take the two gems and leave here directly. He could only nod and follow Xiaoyan step by step to leave the edge of the city.

The wind blew gently, and apart from the weeds being slightly dented by a few people, the previous shock wave did not cause much change to the surrounding terrain.

The red-haired girl floated out from the underground passage, silently looking at everything around her, and finally fixed her eyes on the direction where Zhixing left.

"Meow~Meow~Woof woof"

Zhixing pressed the alarm on his phone and slowly opened his eyes.

In order to take care of the speed of the paper business yesterday, he came back very late, so as soon as he finished tidying up Mami's room, Xiaoyan went back to his room to rest.

Zhixing was not in the mood to stay up late to watch anime, so he lay on the bed and tried to sleep.

But the whole night, Zhixing was in a light sleep, half asleep and half awake. It felt like he was not asleep and was tossing and turning all the time, but a whole night had indeed passed, so much so that the alarm clock rang.

Zhixing got up from the bed and looked at the empty hall where many people had left home for school long ago. Zhixing sobered up with water and then walked into Mami's room.

When he opened the door, the difference from before was that there was now a refrigerator in Mami's room that was big enough to fit a person, and inside it was Mami's body.

After taking a look at Mami's condition and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Zhixing searched for the key from Mami's school uniform, then closed the door and turned to leave.

Sitting on the tram, Zhixing was thinking about his plans for today.

It is already June 12th, and there are only 34 days left until the 15th, so I will not go to school to ask for leave.

Although the police may have official testimony and are unlikely to be dispatched, there is a teacher in the school who knows about his relationship with Asami and Sayaka.

In order to avoid Saotome teacher's suspicion, he found the last person she knew who might be related to him, Kaname Madoka.

So we need to do some decoration on Mami's room.

After all, Kazuyo didn't know where Sayaka's home was, so he could only go to Asami's house.

Tightening his collar, Zhixing took out his key, swiped open Mami's door and walked in.

Just like Madoka back then, Zhixing took a piece of letter paper and placed it on the table in Mami's house.

Although it's all in Chinese, there are always translations online, so Zhixing thinks there should be no problem in understanding this message.

He left the letter, thinking that he couldn't stay away from Asami's body for too long, otherwise Kyubey might come.

But looking at the familiar surroundings, Zhixing couldn't help but open the door and walked back to the room assigned to him by Mami, thinking that Xingzi might live here.

As expected, not seeing Xingzi, Zhixing shook his head and was about to leave.

A pair of blue slippers caught the attention of the paper company.

Zhixing was slightly stunned, then walked to the bed and saw the clothes, pants and shoes neatly folded on the bed.

That was what I wore when I came from that world.

Zhixing picked up the shoes in silence. Looking at the slippers that were obviously a little damaged but washed like new, he couldn't help but shook his head:

"Really? You didn't even tell me. Besides, it's useless now. I'm not picky about clothes anyway. As long as they're wearable, why bother washing them so clean?"

Holding this stack of initial sets, Zhixing wanted to change into them, but then he thought that it would be inconvenient to go out and meet people in such clothes. He simply had no choice before, so he gave up the idea.

Just as Zhixing was about to leave, he took a last look at his eye-catching slippers, and an idea came to his mind.

"I won't be dressed like this every time I appear, right?"

Chapter 104 Reminiscing the Past

"Without a cell phone, money, or ID, the whole outfit probably cost less than a hundred yuan."

"I'm really surprised that Mami was willing to listen to me and take me in. No, it's probably because I just came out of the witch's barrier and acted closely related to the Witch's Kiss, so no matter what I said, I can't just leave it alone."

"As expected, Mami's family is the only shelter in Mitakihara. Kyoko and Beibei are all living off the savings of Mami's parents."

"Among the other main characters, Madoka and Sayaka both have their parents at home, so it's impossible for them to have anyone living with them. Kyoko is still homeless in Kazami-no, and returning to Mitakihara is also like wandering. After all, her original home has long been dilapidated."

"The only option left is Homura, who has returned from the hospital ward and lives alone."

"If it weren't for the good impression she had built up in the past rounds, Homura probably wouldn't have let a stranger into her house. After all, it seems Kyoko has never stayed there before..."
