Doraemon for an imperfect world

Homura Akemi: ...

substance?

She looked at her shield. As a product of a contract, it was essentially an intangible magic. Could it be because of this reason that it was defeated?

"Who is the Doraemon you are talking about?"

Seeing the pitiful expression on her face, Homura looked away with a guilty conscience and asked, "Is she a legendary monster like you?"

"No... wuwu... Doraemon is a robot from the future... No, no, it still hurts!"

The girl covered her head with her hands, raised her head with tears in her eyes and asked, "Why can you touch me? Is my sister also a monster?"

Not at all.

Homura Akemi said in her heart.

"careful!"

The Crow Tengu in front of him suddenly said, "The enemy leader has appeared."

As she spoke, the space around her twisted once more, accompanied by bizarre and absurd mirror images like those in abstract paintings. The surrounding scene, which completely transcended and even subverted rationality and common sense, changed again, as if countless doors were opening one after another in front of her. In the depths of this nightmare, the Rose Witch slowly raised her head.

"Doraemon!"

The Zashiki-warashi beside him suddenly shouted and ran towards a blue figure in the distance. "So, why do I have to fight against monsters? I have no fighting ability at all. Please let me go back."

"Oh sorry sorry."

Doraemon took out a can of mixed ghosts and said, "I poured them all out in a hurry."

As he spoke, Zashiki-warashi quickly turned back into a speck of light and flew back into the comprehensive ghost can.

Well, asking Zashiki-warashi to do something like this is a bit too much.

"is her."

Madoka, who was standing next to Doraemon, suddenly noticed Homura Akemi not far away. She couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and hid behind Doraemon with Kyubey in her arms.

"Is that the girl in the painting?"

Doraemon couldn't help but ask, "Do you know her, Madoka?"

"Not impressed at all."

Hearing this, Homura Akemi couldn't help but grit her teeth, staring intently at the white creature in Madoka's arms and lying on Doraemon's head.

"The witch's true form has been revealed."

Kyubey said, "If we defeat it, we can leave here."

"it is good."

Doraemon said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you all."

"No problem, leave it to us!"

As he spoke, Tengu suddenly fanned his fan, and in the raging wind, many bizarre monsters suddenly rushed forward and started a righteous beating on the witch in front of them.

First, the huge figure of Umibozu grabbed the witch who was trying to escape, then pressed its shoulders with both hands and pushed hard. The witch's figure suddenly fell forward uncontrollably. Another huge figure of Prajna took the opportunity to kick the witch to the ground. Many monsters immediately surrounded it and started kicking it in a circle.

"what……"

Sayaka's expression suddenly became very subtle. Although these monsters were now her allies and the ones on the opposite side were monsters that wanted to harm ordinary people, for some reason the scene before her gave her the feeling that school delinquents were hurting innocent classmates.

"Just like this isn't enough."

Kyubey said, "We must completely destroy the witch."

"Even if you say so..."

Just as Doraemon was about to explain, he saw Homura Akemi taking out an anti-tank bazooka with an expressionless face.

Wait, what is that?

Is this still a magical girl?

As Homura Akemi aimed at the witch and pulled the trigger, the anti-tank missile, which was not magical at all, suddenly flew straight towards the witch with a long tail flame. The surrounding monsters scattered at the sight of this. The missile immediately hit the unprepared witch. Accompanied by a wailing sound, the huge witch suddenly turned into a ball of light, and countless abstract butterflies slowly rose up, and the surrounding scene began to dissipate.

"Did you win?"

Xiaoyuan looked around and couldn't help muttering to herself.

"Well, it seems like that."

Doraemon held up the Omnibus Ghost Can and said, "Thank you everyone."

All the monsters suddenly turned into streaks of light and returned to the tombstone-shaped prop in Doraemon's hand.

Homura Akemi looked at this scene and was about to say something when, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a bright yellow figure appeared nearby:

"Well, it looks like we're late?"

223

Chapter 223 Doraemon starts to steal business.

"I……"

Just as Homura Akemi was about to say something, Kyubey in Madoka's arms raised his head and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared.

"Asami!"

"Sorry, I was delayed a bit due to some things... Um, what is this?"

Mami first explained apologetically that she could have come directly, but on the way here Kyubey suddenly told her the location where another witch appeared, so she was accidentally late.

After she finished explaining, she looked at Doraemon.

"This is Doraemon."

"According to its own statement, it is a robot from the 22nd century," Kyubey explained.

22nd century?

Homura Akemi frowned slightly. She knew very well that Kyubey's words were completely unreliable. Although Kyubey could not lie, his one-sided truth was no different from a lie.

Just like now, although it says "robots of the 22nd century", it does not say at all "robots of the 22nd century made by humans".

"Robot? I see."

Out of trust in Kyubey, Tomoe accepted this setting without hesitation, then turned to look at Homura Akemi and said, "Since you defeated the witch, I won't compete with you for the Seed of Sorrow."

"That's not what I'm looking for..."

"I really don't understand what people are saying."

Tomoe Mami interrupted Homura Akemi without any hesitation, "I mean I'll let you go this time."

"..."

Expected.

Homura Akemi thought.

She was neither unfamiliar nor surprised by Mami's reaction, but that blue existence was the first time it appeared among countless existences. Could it be that Kyubey realized something?

However, she really couldn't stay here any longer. Her magic power was too precious to be wasted on a meaningless battle with Mami.

Homura Akemi turned and left without saying a word, without trying to argue or tell the other party the truth. She knew that Mami's heart was not strong, and she would completely collapse the moment she learned the truth and then try to attack her companion who was bound to become a witch - she had experienced such a thing in her past reincarnations.

"Why is this happening?"

Madoka couldn't help but ask, "You're a magical girl, why would you want to hurt Kyubey?"

"That's a long story."

After watching Homura Akemi walk away, Tomoe Mami walked over, picked up a round object with a sharp end from the ground, and showed it to everyone:

"This is the Seed of Lamentation, the witch's egg. If you're lucky, the witch will sometimes carry this."

"It's ok."

Seeing the surprised expressions on Madoka and Sayaka's faces, Kyubey added, "It's harmless in its current form. Instead, it's a valuable item that can be useful."

"Yes, it's like this."

As if to prove Kyubey's words, Tomoe Mami patiently took out her Soul Gem and explained, "You see, my Soul Gem has become a little cloudy, right? But with this, it will become clear again."

As she spoke, Mami Keiba brought the two gems into contact with each other, and some turbid black mist visible to the naked eye seeped from Mami Keiba's gem into the Witch's Seed of Lament.

"Um, what exactly was that thing that was moved away?"

Doraemon couldn't help but ask, "What will happen if the gem becomes cloudy?"

"What's been transferred away is, if you must say, something like 'debt'. As long as you use magic, the turbidity inside the Soul Gem will gradually increase. Conversely, if you use the Seed of Lament to absorb it, the magic power previously consumed will be restored. If it becomes completely turbid, you will probably no longer be able to use magic, right?"

"Is that why that guy wanted to hurt Kyubey?"

Sayaka said indignantly, "To eliminate the competitors in advance?"

"Well, that's probably it."

Mami said as she handed the Seed of Sorrow to Madoka, "If you can see Kyubey, it means you also have the potential to become a magical girl. Don't be polite, just consider it a gift from your senior."

After saying that, Tomoe Mami looked at Sayaka again and said, "Don't worry, if you also want to become a magical girl, I will prepare the same gift for you."

"Thank you, senior!"

Sayaka said with emotion.

"Thank you."

Madoka was a little flattered and held the Seed of Sorrow in her hand, but suddenly found that Doraemon was looking at it with great confusion. "Doraemon?"

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between witches and magical girls?"

Doraemon asked curiously, "Where did those monsters come from?"

"Well, why do you ask that?"

Tomoe Mami asked in confusion.

"Because the Witch's Seed of Lamentation is obviously very similar to the Soul Stone. And if they are not related, it would be difficult to explain why the Seed of Lamentation can purify the Soul Stone, right?"

Doraemon said as a matter of course, "And aren't you curious about the witch's origins?"

"That's true."

Tomoe Mami said thoughtfully.

"If a witch's familiar attacks a certain number of humans, it will also become a witch."

Seeing this, Kyubey quickly explained, "A considerable number of witches come from this way."

"What about the original witch?"

Doraemon asked, "How did that come about?"

"That goes back thousands of years, to when the first human city was built."

Kyubey shook his head. "That kind of thing is completely meaningless to you."

So suspicious...

Doraemon narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the creature in front of him with suspicion.

I always feel like the other party is hiding something crucial.

"Ok."

It didn't ask any more questions, but pretended nothing happened and took out a doctor's suitcase from its pocket. "Anyway, let me examine you first."

As it said that, it opened the suitcase and began to check:

"Just a few scrapes, nothing serious."

"what is this?"

Sayaka bent down and asked, "Can you check the other person's injuries in just one go?"

"This is what children in the 22nd century use when they play doctor."

Doraemon took out a syringe and put it on Kyubey's body. "But in this era, most of the existing diseases can be completely cured."

Hearing this, Sayaka seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Even if the nerves in my hand are injured, is it okay?"
