Sure enough, I guessed right. This thing contains Mami Tomoe's soul. As long as you're far away, her body is useless. Wait, if we think about it from another angle, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a unique chance of rebirth if we just keep this gem safe and combine it with 'Luna's' situation?
Genji began to consider the feasibility of this idea, wondering if he could try it on himself. Just then, the once bright gem suddenly began to gullify, and in the blink of an eye, the gem became as filthy as the Lament Seed he had obtained from the witch. Mami Tomoe had a smile on her face, but she looked utterly broken, like a walking corpse, devoid of any emotion.
However, this does not mean she is completely 'safe'. Although she looks like an ordinary girl, she exudes a dangerous aura. If she had a knife in her hand, she would attack everything around her in a near-mad manner and eventually burn herself to ashes.
"Calm down."
Gengo, of course, wouldn't let such an informant, delivered right to his doorstep, disappear before his eyes. He looked at the murky gem, took a deep breath, and tore a small opening in the seal of evil thoughts, allowing the murky essence within the gem to flow into his soul. Although this seemed insignificant in comparison, the continuous generation of murky essence undoubtedly symbolized the despair in Mami Tomoe's heart overflowing, as if she were trapped in an abyss, her soul being devoured bit by bit. This was the path she had actively chosen, actively giving up any possibility of survival.
young.
Yuanxiang's only basis for this is these two words. Having never seen a real abyss, he thought he was at the lowest point in his life and had no comparison to continue struggling to survive.
Come, let me show you a place that is similar to the abyss.
The boy took Mami Tomoe's hand and placed it on his chest. In that instant, the girl glimpsed the whispers and wails of countless evil thoughts. Her survival instinct was instantly aroused, causing her to involuntarily flee from Genji's side and collapse to the ground, her legs trembling. Her lifeless eyes were filled with terror. As a result, the gem in Genji's hand no longer became turbid.
"Alright, now let's talk about what exactly happened."
Gengo knelt down, helped Mami Tomoe up, patted the dust off her clothes, and said:
"I have a lot of questions I want to ask you. I'm completely confused about the witch and the gem. If possible, I hope you can help me."
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Mami Tomoe, to be honest, didn't want to talk to Genji. She was engrossed in "The Witch Is the End of the Magical Girl," but the turbidity born from the Soul Gem was absorbed completely in the blink of an eye, making it difficult for her thoughts to fall into chaos. Helplessly, she could only raise her head and look at the black knight in front of her, saying:
"It's meaningless. If the Soul Gem can give birth to a witch, then we'll all just die! You and I, for the sake of those ordinary people, let's all die. We only have death as our path; it's meaningless..."
"How pessimistic. But since you think it's meaningless, let me make it a little more meaningful. Anyway, I'm not here to comfort or enlighten you. All I want to do is become a new hope. Then you'll naturally cheer up. Alright, Ms. Tomoe Mami, do you have any good places to go? If not, I'll pick one myself. Don't complain about my bad taste later."
Gengo directly brought up Mami Tomoe, showing no intention of continuing the conversation. At the same time, a faint purple light lingered around the gem, and the 'joker's' unwavering will slightly affected the distraught girl. For a person, a small influence is all it takes to cheer them up. Mami Tomoe also noticed this. This was an open and aboveboard strategy. After a slight hesitation, the girl did not reject it. She sorted out her chaotic feelings and pointed Gengo in the right direction.
The location Mami Tomoe pointed to was her own residence. Several years ago, her family was in a car accident, and all her family members died except for herself, who survived after wishing to become a magical girl. Mami Tomoe only has distant relatives, so she lives alone in a luxury apartment.
The so-called magical girl is a girl who makes a contract with Kyubey. When making the contract, she needs to make a wish. That wish determines the effect of the magic when it is first activated, as well as the initial skills that the magical girl possesses. The skills derived from the wish are affected by the wisher's mental state.
Because magical girls make different wishes, they each possess unique abilities. No two magical girls have the same ability yet. Furthermore, they can repair themselves by using their spirit cores after their bodies are injured or damaged, and they will not die. It can be said that as long as their spirit cores are not destroyed, magical girls are invincible.
Mami Tomoe used to be quite proud of this, believing it to be the best proof of her magical girl status and the ability to destroy witches. But now it seems that it was just the result of extracting her soul. Since the soul was not injured, the body was irrelevant. These magical girls had become like zombies.
"Speaking of which, what is Kyubey?"
Upon arriving at Mami's residence, Gengo subconsciously checked the surroundings to rule out any hidden dangers, while continuing their conversation from the way there. Hearing this, Mami looked up at Gengo in surprise and said softly:
"Haven't you seen it before? It's white, a cute-looking mysterious creature with cat ears, a big tail, and wing-like things extending outwards from its ears. I've felt something was strange about it since just now. You're a magical girl too, so why don't you know anything about what you're missing?"
? !
How did I become a magical girl?
Gengo looked at Mami Tomoe with a puzzled expression. After a brief exchange of glances, the boy realized that she must have mistaken the Kamen Rider armor for a magical girl's ability. After all, according to her, magical girls have all sorts of abilities, so it wouldn't be surprising if they turned into a suit of armor.
"Let me make one thing clear first: I am a Kamen Rider, not a magical girl."
After the inspection, Gengo deactivated his transformation, revealing his true form, and looked at Mami Tomoe, saying:
"Also, I'm a boy."
"?!?!?!?!"
Mami Tomoe was visibly confused. She didn't really care about the title "Kamen Rider"—after all, Kamen Rider or Magical Girl were just names, essentially the same thing. But the "male" part was a bit absurd. Kyubey had said that only girls would be chosen, so... this... eh!?
"Okay, calm down."
Gengo felt he was getting tired of saying that, so he casually sat down opposite Tomoe Mami and said softly:
"Khubby, do you have a way to contact that creature? I'd like to talk to it."
"Well... well, actually I've always had a Kyubey by my side, but just now, it suddenly disappeared. I thought something had happened, so I went out to look for it, and then I noticed the existence of the Witch's Barrier. I thought I could use some Lament Seeds since I didn't have many left, and then I met you."
Although Kyubey is invisible to ordinary humans and can communicate telepathically with those it chooses within a certain range, so it can easily escape danger or seek help, Mami Tomoe still finds it hard to accept that Kyubey has inexplicably disappeared from her side. After all, her residence is quite deserted, and apart from herself, Kyubey is practically the only creature left to alleviate her loneliness.
But now, after accidentally learning the truth about the Soul Stone, Mami Tomoe suddenly feels a sense of emptiness, as if the friendship she once firmly believed in has become a soap bubble under the sun, seemingly beautiful and stunning, but easily burst.
Seeing Mami Tomoe suddenly fall silent, Gengo silently continued absorbing the turbidity within the Soul Gem to prevent the girl from turning into a witch. He then began to ponder the current situation. On the way here, Mami Tomoe had explained to him the relationship between magical girls and witches. Witches hide within their own barriers, spreading despair everywhere. Ordinary humans cannot see witches, but they can be harmed by them. Magical girls, on the other hand, live by hunting witches. As for the Sorrow Seed that had been used, it was retrieved, and the recipient of that retrieval was Kyubey.
Could it be that this Seed of Lamentation possesses some value or secret after being absorbed?
Gensou took out the Seed of Lamentation he had obtained and placed it on Mami Tomoe's Soul Gem, watching it gradually purify the Soul Gem. But the Seed was like a sponge; once it was full of water, nothing else changed.
Is this the kind of pervasive negativity that Kewpie wanted?
Looking at the Seed of Lamentation in his hand, Genji didn't know what to say for a moment. If he needed this, the evil thoughts sealed in his soul would probably become invincible.
"Ahem, well, I don't think I don't know your name."
Although she was upset about Kyubey's situation, Mami Tomoe remembered that there was someone in front of her, so she quickly pulled herself out of her despondency and looked at Genji with a smile, saying:
"Would you like a cup of black tea? Black tea really goes better with cake."
Looking at the girl in front of him who hadn't given him a chance to refuse, Genji said nonchalantly:
"My name is Gengo, and as I just said, I am a Kamen Rider. Although I don't understand what exactly happened to you, I'm here to solve this problem."
"It really does have an imposing presence."
Mami Tomoe poured Gensou a cup of black tea and said with a smile:
"Um, just wondering, why is it that your body can absorb the impurities from my Soul Gem?"
"You saw it too, because my body harbors an even more terrifying turbidity."
Yuanxiang took a sip of tea, feeling the warmth slide down his esophagus and spread throughout his body, and said softly:
"It's just big fish eating small fish, nothing special. But since we've come to this point, I'll leave your Soul Gem with me for a while."
"Eh?"
"If you are confident that once you retrieve it from me, you can guarantee that the turbidity will not continue to be generated, I can return it to you immediately."
Looking at the surprised Mami Tomoe, Gengo said in a completely uncompromising tone:
"At first I thought you might be a bad guy, but now it seems you're someone who needs help. In that case, you might as well rely on me for a bit. However, I still suggest you pull yourself together as soon as possible, because I could have an accident at any time and could die at any time. If you don't have any intention of committing suicide with me, you'd better listen to me."
This person... really dares to say anything.
Mami Tomoe sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation as she looked at the Soul Gem that Gengo had tucked into his arms, but she quickly put the matter aside, turned around, took out a cake, and continued to entertain Gengo with a smile.
415 I will become hope
Since Mami Tomoe didn't raise any objections, Gengo didn't say anything more on the matter. He quietly enjoyed the black tea and cake offered by the girl, but when he saw the seemingly endless supply of cakes and black tea that Mami Tomoe turned around to take out, he suddenly became a little uneasy. He quickly waved his hand and said softly:
"Alright, alright, that's enough. My appetite isn't as big as you think. You should rest for a bit. I have some things to take care of."
"Is it still busy at this hour?"
Hearing this, Mami Tomoe looked curiously at the boy in front of her. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to get up and leave, she became even more puzzled, wondering how he was going to handle things. But then she saw Gensou lie down on the sofa, close his eyes, and seemingly fall asleep peacefully. This made Mami Tomoe feel a little strange. Just then, she saw the shape of a book flash across Gensou's body. The book was not much different from ordinary books, but just one glance made her feel dizzy, as if too much knowledge had suddenly flooded into her brain, making it hard to accept.
But as the book disappeared, Madoka Kaname's dizziness subsided. She rubbed her forehead uncomfortably, looking at the seemingly sleeping boy, feeling increasingly incredulous. She began to stare at him, wondering where he had come from. If his abilities didn't come from Kyubey, where did they come from? How many other mysterious powers still existed in this world that she didn't know about?
Mami Tomoe had many questions, but these were destined to remain unanswered. After all, Gengo didn't have much interest in discussing origin-related questions with her. Meanwhile, in the Earth Library, Gengo had already found information about Kyubey using keywords. The result surprised the boy: the origin of this so-called Kyubey couldn't be found in the library, but there were many records about them. It could be said that many traces of them were mixed into the development of human civilization. The existence of magical girls also has a long history in human civilization. Although their names have changed throughout history, they all essentially still transform their souls into spirit cores, using magical powers like zombies.
What exactly is this thing?
Gensou frowned as he continued searching for more information. He traced the history from ancient times to the present day, watching as girls became magical girls under Kyubey's contract, and then, amidst the despair and turbidity that constantly arose, they became their former enemies, the very thing they least wanted to be.
Furthermore, history books may be distorted, and records may be lost, but history will be truthfully recorded in Earth's memory. Genji carefully reviewed the process of those magical girls signing contracts with Kyubey and found that those Kyubeys were quite honest. According to the information he currently had, it could be said that they truthfully answered the questions that the magical girls had asked them.
However, these cupids weren't exactly honest either.
When these records are laid out in detail, it becomes easy to see that Kyubey avoids the important points when answering questions. He does answer the questions, but he avoids the crucial ones.
Just who exactly is this Qubi?
After reviewing these issues, the question resurfaced in Gengo's mind. After all, even if it came from the previous civilization era, like the Moth Chaser organization from the Collapsed World, Gengo could find out about it if he was willing to sacrifice his glory and memories. So the current situation left him completely baffled, and he could only jokingly say that it was a monster that popped out of the moon.
Wait, the moon?!
Yuanxiang paused for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window. He didn't really suspect that there was something on the moon, but rather that the so-called Kyubey was an extraterrestrial creation. If that were the case, there would indeed be a reason to explain what was going on. Extraterrestrials came from outside the earth, so naturally their origins could not be found in Earth's library.
At this moment, Gengo remembered what Hiiragi Eriol had said. He sensed that something in Madoka Kaname's world was trying to force its way to Sakura's side. If this was Kyubey's doing, it might be a power far beyond his imagination.
We need to find some help!
Gengo didn't hesitate and immediately wanted to find someone to help. Hiiragi Eriol was naturally the first choice, and the second was to find Kadoya Tsukasa. With him there, they could find more help. Moreover, if Kyubey really was an alien civilization, the boy was really afraid that these forces alone would not be enough to fight against them.
and many more......
What's going on...?
Under Mami Tomoe's curious gaze, Gengo blankly closed the door, then opened it again, repeating this several times, but the 'door' never appeared.
He was rejected.
Yuanxiang silently realized this. This was the first time he had encountered this situation, and he seemed to have figured out the result. In his past reincarnations, he had been protecting Fengdu. They refused to let anything dangerous into Fengdu. When he came, he could already see this change from the edge of the 'door'. He just didn't expect that he would also be excluded.
This is bad. What should I do next?
Gensou's expression became quite strange. To be honest, he really didn't expect this situation to occur. Moreover, he was currently in a situation where the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark. Now that he thought about it, the strange gaze he received when he first arrived must have been from Kyubey's surveillance.
Damn, this is really troublesome.
The more Yuanxiang learned, the more he realized that the situation was far less optimistic than he had imagined. He began to consider his trump cards, but he didn't have much confidence. He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid that death alone would not be enough to wipe out Kyubey and his monsters.
"Mr. Gensho, what happened?"
Mami Tomoe couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't bear the terrifying pressure from Gensou in the room and couldn't help but make a sound to disturb him. Although she might be criticized, it was still better than being suffocated by the pressure.
"It's nothing, I'm sorry to have made you suffer."
Gengo, regaining his composure, understood why Mami Tomoe had spoken up at that moment. He smiled sheepishly at the girl, and after a moment's thought, sat down opposite her and whispered:
"Can you promise me something?"
"Mr. Yuanxiang, please speak."
Seeing the boy's very serious expression, Mami Tomoe also became serious, staring at Genji and saying:
"If I can do it, I will try my best."
Please don't give up hope.
Gensou grasped Mami Tomoe's hand and said earnestly:
"If you don't have much hope for the future of magical girls, then place your hopes on me. I'll stake the name of Kamen Rider on it, and I promise all magical girls that I will help them escape that terrible fate. This is my promise to you, and as long as I live, this will not change. So please don't give up."
