Is this okay?

The color has been restored.

tick.

The last drop of water fell into the sink and disappeared. She didn't know what had happened and could only watch anxiously as the last drop of water dripped into the sink, feeling incredulous, bewildered, and even unable to understand.

……

Boom!

Homura Akemi's door was rudely pushed open, and she ran frantically into the street.

As she ran, her face showed great panic and unease.

She didn't know exactly what was going on, but she vaguely sensed that something was wrong; something was wrong with this world.

She ran frantically in the familiar direction, which was the location of the school. According to the timeline, today was the day she enrolled in school, and also the day she first met Madoka Kaname.

As she ran, she remained vigilant. Everything around her seemed fine; it was all familiar.

It was just as normal as usual.

Nothing around us has changed; everything seems normal.

But... what exactly happened by stopping time just now?

Homura Akemi didn't understand what was going on. She stared wide-eyed at her surroundings, feeling a strange sense that something was wrong with the world, something extremely wrong.

It's like finding the differences between two paintings. From a distance, they look the same, but there's something wrong with them, and you need to be patient to find it.

It won't be discovered for at least a short period of time!

"Oh no! I'm going to be late!"

A familiar voice rang out from in front of Homura Akemi. Upon hearing the voice, she froze, stopped in her tracks, and stared wide-eyed ahead.

A girl with double braids, wearing red glasses and carrying a schoolbag, was seen running hurriedly ahead. Her school uniform was the same as Homura Akemi's, and her expression showed that she was in a hurry.

Tata runs fast and steadily.

"how come!?"

Homura Akemi stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the girl running ahead.

They were so shocked that they unconsciously shook their heads, unable to accept the scene before them.

He stood there, staring blankly ahead, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

"Another me? Who am I?"

Homura Akemi was completely bewildered and unable to comprehend what was happening, while simultaneously unraveling the mystery of the time stoppage.

That's right!

The one who just stopped time is Homura Akemi, the Homura Akemi with double braids.

Then... who am I?

Homura Akemi? Or someone else?

what happened?

Did something go wrong when I went back in time?

Did I run into my past self?

why?

This has never happened before... why did it have to happen now of all times?

Isn't rewinding your own time just you replacing your past self?

Or rather, it's about retracing your memories back to your past self...

what happened?

Why do I have an extra one?

"Was this your doing, Cupid!"

Homura Akemi's face flashed with murderous intent as she coldly turned her head to look in a certain direction, but there was nothing there.

In the past, Kyubey would definitely have appeared, because Kyubey wouldn't let go of this abnormal Kyubey. But now Kyubey hasn't appeared, which means Kyubey's attention isn't on him.

Damn!

Something's wrong with this world!

Homura Akemi finally realized something was wrong, and her face darkened as she decided to find out what was going on.

Chapter 135 Xiaomei's House!

Time flies. After learning about her other self, Homura Akemi began to infiltrate her side to investigate.

Then she discovered a terrifying fact: Madoka Kaname had already become a magical girl before she met her other self.

This result shocked and terrified her; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

At the same time, she became alert and, after observing for several days, she discovered that the world seemed a little different. Her other self was very cowardly and needed Xiaoyuan and the others' help in every battle. Moreover, Xiaoyuan and the others were different.

Although nothing seemed amiss, there was something subtly amiss.

but……

The more I observed, the more envious I became.

In this world, she and Madoka are filled with friendship, and every minute and every second is filled with things that she envies.

Although she didn't know what was going on in this world, she genuinely wanted to help.

Helping another version of myself through the final hurdle, Witch's Night.

As time passed, the Witch's Night drew ever closer, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.

One morning, she woke up to find that a forum had appeared in her mind.

Being cautious, she didn't ask for help immediately, but instead browsed through previous requests for help.

Then the conclusion is that people on this forum will help those who ask for help, and even the most outrageous things can be accomplished as long as they do it.

Having confirmed this, Homura Akemi nervously posted a request for help.

Subject: How can I defeat Witch Night?

After posting, she waited anxiously for the stranger's reply, knowing that a miracle or magic would occur if the stranger replied, and that this miracle or magic would not be free.

But the price is worth it.

And then... no more.

For two whole days, not a single stranger showed up.

"What's going on? Before, they always showed up immediately when someone needed help. Why am I hesitating? Don't they have any good ideas either?"

Akemi Homura frowned, completely clueless about what was going on with Leng Mo and the others.

……

On the other side, the imperial capital.

Everything was proceeding as planned, except that today was a little different.

People haven't forgotten the sudden battle two days ago. Although they don't know the specifics, the people of the capital know that the person who was protecting them has fallen.

But it doesn't matter!

I heard from people inside who saw the hero that he has recovered and even had the energy to yell "He's one of us! Damn! He's one of us! Fight!" at someone. He was clearly full of energy and had no problems whatsoever.

Around noon.

Tatsumi, his face bruised and swollen, appeared in the Night Raid United Government's lounge with bandages and a cast on. His appearance spoke volumes about what had happened.

Dual-wielding Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan can deliver over three thousand cuts per second; no one else can match that skill.

As soon as Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan woke up, they found Tatsumi and immediately had a mixed doubles match.

With Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan's strength, Tatsumi had no way to deal with them. Moreover, he knew he was in the wrong. Since he didn't have a weapon at the time, he simply grabbed the person next to him and started a fight with three thousand cuts per second.

Kazuma, on the other hand, was somewhat withdrawn, looking at Tatsumi with a puzzled expression.

"Tatsumi, why did you look so cool when you transformed back then?"

"Ah... I don't know either. At that time, I was just filled with strength. No matter how difficult it was, I was determined to overcome it, and that's how it turned out."

Tatsumi himself wasn't entirely sure, so he could only vaguely describe how he felt at the time.

"Hmm...it seems like this thing has a proficiency level?"

Upon hearing this, Kirito, a gaming expert, immediately thought of this setting, which was rather subtle.

"That doesn't make sense. Our proficiency is about the same as Tatsumi's, but I haven't become one. It's definitely not a matter of proficiency."

Kazuma was the first to disbelieve it. He had transformed and killed Kaneki and Kirito, which showed his strength, but something just didn't seem right.

"Could it be a realization?" Kaneki asked uncertainly, pinching his chin.

"Awakened..."

What is enlightenment?

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, completely unaware of what this so-called enlightenment was.

But it doesn't matter!

Everyone has the potential to awaken, so it's just a matter of time.

"Wait, someone's asking for help in the help zone? And it's Homura!" Kaneki suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Because of Madoka's senior, everyone is very familiar with the plot of Madoka Magica, and they even spend their free time watching the series on Leng Mo's computer.

Since everyone is fine, if they were on Macho Island, they could farm Bells, but in the capital, there's nothing to do but catch up on anime.

"Homura! Hohoho!" When Madoka heard that it was Homura, her eyes widened, her face full of mischief and anticipation.

"Amo, hurry! Go quickly! I want to go find Xiaoyan to play!"

She turned to look at Leng Mo and urged him on, her voice filled with excitement.

Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed like a duelist who brought joy, even wanting to lick something.

"Xiaoyuan, I know a really good izakaya!"

"What does this mean?" Senior Xiaoyuan was a little confused. How did this relate to an izakaya?

"This izakaya exists independently of the magical girl world, but it is connected to countless parallel magical girl worlds. The name of this izakaya is—Akatsumi-ya!"

Leng Mo revealed a happy smile, his eyes gleaming.

"Akami-ya? What? I've never heard of it before." Senior Madoka looked puzzled, not understanding what it was.

"Of course you don't know, this Akemiya is basically the relay point in Akemi Homura's gag manga."

"what?"

"Homura Akemi went back in time to save Madoka, but ended up in the wrong world."

"Eh?"

“The little Madoka there can’t remember what will happen seven seconds later, and she can’t get rid of calling Homura ‘Tomura’ no matter what she does. Sayaka is an idiot who always loses her Soul Gem and ends up dead on the street. Kyoko is a glutton with an endless appetite and doesn’t care about anything except eating. Mami Tomoe…”

Leng Mo didn't know how to explain this at the moment, because it was too outrageous.

What's wrong with Mami?

"I didn't pay attention when I went out and accidentally stepped on my own soul gem, which shattered and sent me to heaven."

"..."

Where should I even begin to complain?

Senior Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded when she heard about this situation. Even as a comedic character, she wouldn't do something so outrageous.

Is this the magical girl world I know?

Good heavens, this is definitely the world on the wrong set.

How stupid is my other self? With a memory that only lasts seven seconds, how did I survive?

"So, what does Tamura's world have to do with Akemi-ya?"
