I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Li Xiao responded with a smile.

"Ok!"

Madoka Kaname nodded heavily, then ran away quickly.

Seeing her walk away, Li Xiao said to someone beside her, "Xiao Yuan is so cute, don't you think?"

"Is this your plan?"

Homura Akemi suddenly appeared.

She had been watching the situation closely, but she couldn't quite understand Li Xiao's actions. He had only saved Xiao Yuan once; what was the point?

In past reincarnations, she had saved Xiaoyuan many times, but in the end, she was unable to save her.

"I have my reasons."

Homura Akemi didn't ask any more questions; as long as Li Xiao could do what he said, that was enough.

"By the way, is this what you need?"

Li Xiao tossed something to Homura Akemi.

"The Seed of Lamentation..."

Looking at the black gem in her hand, Homura Akemi casually put it away.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Just let things take their course from now on."

"What does 'let nature take its course' mean?"

"I guess I'll just have to interact with Madoka often, and then when Witch Night comes out, I'll defeat it."

"Can you win?"

Homura Akemi was unaware of Li Xiao's strength, and Witch Night had already wiped out these magical girls many times.

"You're guaranteed to win!"

Li Xiao revealed a confident smile.

"I hope so..."

Homura Akemi sighed and then disappeared from the spot.

Li Xiao didn't pay attention to her departure. He suddenly sensed something and revealed an interested smile.

"Hmm...has the witch here been dealt with?"

A girl with golden curly twin ponytails and elegant manners stood in a corner, looking at the witch's barrier in the record store that had almost completely dissipated.

"Is she a magical girl from outside Mitakihara?"

"It's not a magical girl, I made it."

"Um?!"

Mami Tomoe instantly became alert, turned around, and looked warily at Li Xiao, who had appeared behind her at some point.

"who are you?"

Male? Then he shouldn't be a magical girl. What did he mean by "destroying witches"?

"Hello, my name is Li Xiao, and I am a hero out of interest."

"hero?"

Mami Tomoe was a little surprised. Who would call themselves a hero?

"Doesn't it seem like it? I just defeated that witch. To others, that would make me a hero, right?"

"Did you really destroy them? Are you a magical girl too?"

This was the first time Mami Tomoe had ever heard of a man becoming a magical girl.

Or is it that... the boy in front of me is actually a woman, just with a more masculine appearance?

"I'm not a magical girl, and who told you that only magical girls have special powers?"

"Huh? What abilities do you have? Are you very strong?"

Mami Tomoe looked at him with a curious expression.

She wasn't afraid of Li Xiao harming her, because she was very confident in her own abilities.

"Me? I'm probably only a tiny bit better than you."

Li Xiao made a gesture with his right thumb and forefinger that would infuriate any Korean.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Mami Tomoe was a little unconvinced. They hadn't even competed, so how could anyone say she was better than her? Even Kyubey had praised her for being very strong.

"Okay, actually I'm just a weakling who accidentally awakened superpowers, and defeating the witch this time was all thanks to luck."

Li Xiao also wanted to try what it was like to play dumb to outsmart others.

"That's more like it. Lying isn't a good habit."

Hearing him say that, Mami Tomoe nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, "How could someone stronger than a magical girl suddenly appear?"

"So what ability did you awaken?"

"What I awakened were the abilities of wind and water. Wind can gather information and attack, while water can heal others' injuries."

As Li Xiao spoke, he summoned a cyan wind and a blue water sphere.

"Hmm... they're all support-oriented abilities. It seems the witch you just killed was a bit weak."

After pondering for a while, Mami Tomoe extended an invitation to him.

"Would you like to be my support staff and protect Mitakihara with me?"

P.S.: This chapter contains 4 words. I felt that publishing them separately would make the plot less coherent, so I combined them together.

Main text: Chapter 140 Being kept by Mami Tomoe

Actually, Mami Tomoe doesn't particularly need Li Xiao's abilities, but she's worried that he'll foolishly go and challenge the witch to a duel again.

Judging from the abilities Li Xiao has shown so far, he would be doomed if he encountered a witch who wasn't so weak.

She didn't want to see this boy, who had unexpectedly awakened superpowers, die without knowing why, so she decided to keep an eye on him.

Anyway, he was very strong, and Li Xiao had superpowers, so he wasn't exactly an outsider who was unaware of the situation.

"sure."

Li Xiao agreed without much hesitation.

"Then leave me your contact information. Call me if you encounter a witch in the future, and don't act alone."

"But I don't have a cell phone."

Li Xiao wasn't lying; the phone the system had given him was from the world of Su Shi, a crossover anime.

The technology in the world of Madoka Magica is much more advanced than that in other anime worlds, so that phone won't work here.

"How come you don't have a cell phone?"

Mami Tomoe didn't quite understand why Li Xiao didn't have a cell phone, since even young children have them in this society.

"Because I don't have any relatives or friends in this world, I'm currently in a state of being a lonely wanderer."

Li Xiao spread her hands, feigning helplessness and sadness while trying to appear strong.

No relatives or friends...

Mami Tomoe's eyes were touched; she seemed to see her own reflection in them.

"Your loved ones are gone too..."

She spoke very softly, but Li Xiao still heard her.

"Then I'll buy you a cell phone."

"Really? Thank you. By the way, I don't think I even know your name."

Li Xiao looked grateful.

"You're welcome. This is a perk I'm giving you, my assistant. Also, my name is Mami Tomoe, just call me Mami."

Seeing her noticeably warmer attitude, Li Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough, playing the victim and gaining sympathy, coupled with similar experiences, quickly increased Mami Tomoe's favorability.

And he wasn't lying; he truly had no family or friends in this world.

So Mami Tomoe took Li Xiao to a mobile phone store and bought him a recently popular model of mobile phone.

Li Xiao felt a little uneasy after getting the phone; he had a feeling that he was being kept by Mami Tomoe.

"By the way, where do you live now?"

After buying him the phone, Mami seemed to remember something and asked him a question.

"I usually live under bridges and in parks now. If you want to find me, just look for me in these places."

"You live in a place like this?!"

Mami Tomoe was a little incredulous. Li Xiao had superpowers, yet he was still doing so poorly?

"Because I can only do odd jobs, I don't have money to find accommodation, but I have no problem maintaining my daily food needs."

As for superpowers, I will only use them to protect others, not to make money.

"Protect others..."

At this moment, Mami Tomoe felt that Li Xiao might really be a hero, just as he had said at the beginning.
