Is this okay?

Stranger: I saw a pink magic cannon suddenly shoot into the sky, and I went over to take a look out of curiosity, but I didn't find anything.

Ruri Gokou: That really is...

Madoka-senpai: Black Cat, what does that magical girl look like? Let's see if she's someone we know.

Ruri Gokou: Blue hair, big eyes, pink dress, and a very long magic wand.

Senior Xiaoyuan: Hiss—!

Stranger: How many bags are there?

Kazuma Sato: What are you guys so shocked about... Holy crap! My buddy?!

Kaneki Ken: To your reactions, all I can say is, Holy crap, where is that guy?! He's a ticking time bomb!

Ruri Gokou: What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?

Stranger: Ruri, this is a serious matter. Where is that guy?

Ruri Gokou: Wait, can you guys explain this?

Stranger: That thing isn't a magical girl; it's an anomaly, codename O-01-04, login name: Queen of Abomination. While she appears to be a magical girl of love and justice, she isn't; she's a terrifying time bomb. If there are more than three days of peace… she'll suffer a mental breakdown. Then…

Gokou Ruri: When will that happen?

Stranger: When the time comes, I will transform into a monster and destroy everything I see.

Ruri Gokou: What?! Really?!

Senior Xiaoyuan: We can't lie to you about this. Even if you don't trust Amo, you can still trust me.

Ruri Gokou: That's not what I meant... I was just very surprised. How could this be...?

Stranger: Although I really want to refute this, now is not the time to talk about this. Where is the Queen of Abomination now?

Ruri Gokou: She's with Kirino and is currently living at Kirino's house!

Stranger: ? ? ? I want to ask, how exactly did things go through all these twists and turns to get her together with Kirino?

Ruri Gokou: I don't know either. Let me call Kirino first.

After finishing her discussion on the forum, Ruri immediately took out her phone and dialed Kirino's number.

Dudu lulu lulu...

The call was answered quickly, and Kirino's voice came through.

"What's wrong, Liuli?"

Liuli asked, "Are you alone right now?"

Kirino asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Ruri asked, "Is Rei next to you?"

Kirino replied, "Yes."

Liuli said, "You should leave Lingxi's side now. I have something to tell you in private. Be sure not to let Lingxi hear it."

Kirino asked, "What exactly happened?"

Liuli said, "You should leave Lingxi's side first."

I could hear the sound of someone getting up and closing the door over the phone; it was clear that Kirino had already left.

Then Kirino asked, "What happened?"

Liuli said, "I just heard something. Don't panic after you hear it. Calm down first."

Kirino said, "Okay."

Ruri said, "Reito is not a magical girl; she's the same kind of monster as Little Red Riding Hood."

Kirino was speechless. "How could that be? Reito is a real magical girl. She just helped us. How could she not be?"

Ruri said, "Kirino, trust me. This matter is definitely not simple. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

Kirino said, "Don't joke around, that's impossible. You saw it yourself. Reito saved you, how can you say that about her?"

Liuli sighed helplessly, "Alright, that's all for now. But you have to tell me as soon as possible what her reaction is."

Kirino said, "Okay, but I don't think there's anything strange about it."

Liuli said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

Beep.

Ruri hung up the phone helplessly. Thinking about it carefully, Kirino's reaction made sense. Rei had just saved her, but then she turned around and said that Rei was a monster. This was obviously impossible. Moreover, Rei's behavior was too normal. Her actions and mannerisms were full of innocence and joy.

Faced with this situation, she could only relay the message to others.

Forum, chat area.

Ruri Gokou: I told Kirino about it, but she didn't believe me.

Stranger: You're right not to believe it. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't believe it either.

Ruri Gokou: ? ? ?

Something is wrong with you.

Stranger: Mine was the Queen of Hatred. On the first day, she was incredibly righteous and kind; no one would believe she was a monster. Only in the later days did she start to show signs of distress and become abnormal.

Ruri Gokou: What do we do now?

Stranger: Just wait. We'll act when problems arise.

Ruri Gokou: Isn't there any other way?

Stranger: Yes, that is to kill the other side now, and then be hated by Kirino, who will hate you for the rest of her life.

Ruri Gokou: Ah... what about the others?

Stranger: Suddenly kidnaps and kills the Queen of Hatred, then tells Kirino that she has left.

Ruri Gokou: ...

Ruri Gokou: Isn't there any other way? Something more righteous.

Stranger: Hehe! What makes you think I'm a good person?

Ruri Gokou: You're something else...

Homura Akemi: Actually, I could just erase the existence of that anomaly, but I wouldn't be able to give Kirino an explanation.

Ruri Gokou: If that happens, Kirino will be heartbroken for a long time... It's obvious that she really likes Reito.

Stranger: Reito?

Ruri Gokou: Hmm, Kirino gave her the name, Yarei Rei-i.

Stranger: 5-01-04?

Ruri Gokou: I think O-01-04, Kirino thought O didn't sound good and changed it to 屋, but thinking about it that way, it really does sound like the Queen of Hatred. But why do I have a feeling that you guys are all conspiring to lie to me? Just for fun.

Kaneki Ken: Oh no, this kid has developed PTSD. It's all Mo's fault.

Kazuma Sato: Indeed, I'm already in the late stages of PTSD.

Homura Akemi: Don't worry about that, Amo still won't lie about important things.

Ruri Gokou: Even so, I still feel offended, as if you're saying that my past isn't important.

Altair: Kitty, you need to learn to accept reality.

Ruri Gokou: ...

-----------------

While Ruri felt helpless about Kirino and Reito's situation, Little Red Riding Hood was on the other side.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying under the trees in the forest, her single golden eye flashing with surprise and astonishment. She never expected that she hadn't been killed. Although she wouldn't die after being killed and would be resurrected at Lobotomy Corporation, the current situation was beyond her expectations.

After moving around and finding that she had almost recovered, she sat up from the ground and only then could she see her surroundings clearly. In the dense forest, a figure sat quietly on the grass not far away. Her long, dark blue hair was draped behind her head, giving off a sense of silence. She wore a dark blue dress that trailed on the ground, and there were even black barbs on the dress, as well as on her head and arms.

Little Red Riding Hood found the girl's appearance strange and didn't know who she was. She got up and walked over, then noticed that the girl looked very sad. One side of her face was completely black, with no details visible, while the other side was as pale as snow, with black tear-like marks under her eyes.

She spoke as she noticed Little Red Riding Hood, "You're awake?"

Little Red Riding Hood paused, then without thinking much, walked over and sat down opposite the girl, a look of curiosity on her face. "How did I get here?" she asked, her golden one eye observing the girl as she tried to find out something.

The girl didn't look at her, but lowered her head and said, "I don't know. When I found you, you were lying in the forest. It looked like you fell from the sky."

Little Red Riding Hood nodded thoughtfully, as if she had already guessed what was going on.

He was blasted away by the magical girl's magic cannon, but he didn't die from it. By some twist of fate, he fell from the sky into the forest and was eventually discovered by the girl in front of him.

The girl didn't seem to care about the question, and kept her head down, as if she wanted to say something, "Shall we talk?"

Little Red Riding Hood asked, "What's there to talk about?"

The girl said, "It's better than saying nothing at all."

Little Red Riding Hood nodded and said, "Indeed. Why don't you tell me who you are?"

The girl paused, then let out a deep sigh. "I'm just someone who can't protect anything. I used to be a respectable hero, a guardian of justice. I swore an oath to become a glorious hero, to forever protect the king, the country, and those who need help."

Little Red Riding Hood listened silently, without uttering a sound. But she could sense the girl's inner pain, as if she herself would always kill the wolf.

The girl continued, "I just wanted to protect everything, but I ended up protecting nothing. A knight must always uphold the Lord's will, adhere to the chivalric code, and bravely pursue justice and glory. But after a long period of turmoil, I found that I had failed to keep any of these promises, and this fact has changed many people as well."

She added, "When someone who firmly believes that they have been fighting for justice realizes that there is no longer any evil left in the world, they themselves begin to become evil."

She said, "The person who hoped for eternal peace and happiness in the world has now become corrupt, letting her greed devour everything."

She said, "Just like them, many people with pure hearts gradually discover their darkest side. Slowly, all goodness disappears..."

She said, "That knight who hoped to redeem himself by saving others is now called the 'Knight of Despair,' and has long been forgotten by those she once protected, just like them..."

After she finished speaking, she sat quietly on the ground, waiting for Little Red Riding Hood's reaction.

Little Red Riding Hood seemed somewhat moved, looking at the girl in silence for a long time before finally speaking: "I am a mercenary. I will do any job I am asked to do. I have forgotten my name. It used to be on my cloak, but it has been so long that the name on it is no longer legible, and I have forgotten it. However, I still remember what I had to do, and that was to kill that wolf."

As she spoke, a murderous intent emanated from her, "Neither of us will win this fight. All I can think about is how to tear that bastard apart more cruelly and painfully. After that, I won't drink wine, I won't eat cake, I won't celebrate in any way. I was only 15 when I got used to sharpening an axe in the garden every day instead of picking flowers. It has to be killed!!"

After Little Red Riding Hood finished speaking, the murderous aura around her disappeared.

But the girl noticed something. She looked up at Little Red Riding Hood and asked, "Are you the same? Didn't you manage to protect anyone?"

Little Red Riding Hood was a little dazed upon hearing this, her vision blurred, but she couldn't remember anything, so she could only shake her head and give up on unrelated matters.

"Who knows? Anyway, I forgot..."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought. She had really forgotten, forgotten why she had killed that wolf.

The girl opposite her didn't interrupt Little Red Riding Hood when she was deep in thought. She waited until Little Red Riding Hood came to her senses before speaking, "We are very similar. Can I protect you?"

Little Red Riding Hood paused, then said with a laugh, "You can't protect me."

The girl said, "I know... but I still want to protect you."

Little Red Riding Hood said, "Whatever."

The girl said, "You will eventually fight that wolf. I will protect you and help you defeat that wolf. If you die, I will kill that wolf and then destroy the world."

Little Red Riding Hood laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! That's fantastic! As long as that wolf dies, I don't care what happens to the world!"

The girl fell silent, but a shield emblem appeared on Little Red Riding Hood's red cloak, signifying that she was protecting.

Xiao Hong, on the other side, felt her power increase. Her golden single eye flashed with surprise and astonishment. At the same time, she clenched her fist, feeling that this power was enough for her to kill that wolf.

They sat on the grass, looking at each other, as if no words were needed at this moment, only... silent protection.

-----------------

It was a dark and windy night.

Awooo—!!!

Near the suburbs, a wolf howl echoed through the night sky. It was loud, but not disturbing; instead, it had a soothing effect.

In the library, a girl with short green hair, dressed in a medieval blouse, shorts, and white socks, sits blindfolded amidst a sea of ​​books. Beside her is a girl with dark skin and long white hair, wearing a yellow dress, necklace, and bracelet.

She was encased in a golden, oval container with a mouth at the top. The front of the container was translucent, allowing a view of the girl inside. It emitted a shimmering sound when inside the containment unit.

Even with her eyes covered, the green-haired girl sat in the library as if she were reading a book.

Just then, a rather comical figure walked in—a wolf, standing upright on its hind legs, like a wolf straight out of a comedy comic. It had gray fur, large white paws, a high-held tail, and a small belly button. Its eyebrows were thick and black, and it had a scar above its right eye.
