On the other side, on the rooftop, Genji and Sakura Kyoko had been waiting for a long time. Looking at Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi they had brought, the boy waved his hand, creating a barrier that blocked the normal transmission of sound and light, and then said softly:

"Alright, all the magical girls are here. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Gengo, and I am a Kamen Rider. Now, you two, please take out the Soul Gem for now. I have something to tell you."

"........"

Sakura Kyoko paused for a moment, then took out her Soul Gem without saying anything. She figured she couldn't possibly win against him if he tried to snatch it. Akemi Homura, on the other hand, frowned as she looked at Gengo, seemingly puzzled by his presence. But then, she also took out her Soul Gem and waited quietly for Gengo to continue. What Gengo was about to say was, of course, the truth about magical girls. At that moment, a torrent of turbid energy surged from Sakura Kyoko's Soul Gem, which Gengo immediately absorbed.

but......

Mami Tomoe and Gengo looked at Homura Akemi in surprise. The Soul Gem in her hand showed no sign of cloudiness, and the girl's expression was strangely calm, as if she had known about this all along. This startled Gengo slightly. In an instant, Homura Akemi's information flashed through his mind. Then, realizing something, he activated another barrier, solely for communication between him and Homura Akemi. The boy said:

"Is your power time? How many times have you been in this cycle?"

"!!!"

Homura Akemi's expression visibly changed. She paused for a moment, glanced at Kyoko Sakura's Soul Gem being purified, and said softly:

"Reincarnation and time are irrelevant for now. Tell me first, who exactly are you? You can purify the turbid, prevent witch transformation, and know so much about magical girls, and you're male too. Plus, you're a Kamen Rider. I've never met anyone like you before. What... what's your relationship with Kyubey? And where did you come from?!"

At this point, Homura Akemi's gaze sharpened instantly as she stared intently at Genji and continued:

"Also, how did you guess my abilities, and how did you know this isn't my first time being a magical girl? Explain yourself, and there's still a possibility of us cooperating."

"If your ability is time, then you can try it on me."

Seeing Homura Akemi's piercing gaze fixed on him, Gengo shrugged and said softly:

"Although it may sound like I'm bragging, my experience is probably more exaggerated than you can imagine."

"........"

"It's on your arm, isn't it?"

Homura Akemi didn't react much to Gengo's words, simply remaining silent. Gengo understood her thoughts; she was afraid he was bluffing. So he tilted his head, looking at the girl's arm, and said:

"I can sense that there's still time data left on it; you must have used it not long ago."

"........."

Homura Akemi remained silent, and the Soul Gem immediately emitted a bright light. Then, she transformed into a magical girl, wearing a light purple lotus-patterned dress, a white short-sleeved coat, a light purple shawl, and black high-heeled knee-high boots. The purple Soul Gem became an ornament on the back of her hand, and the shield and hourglass on her left arm appeared harmless. However, when the fine sand in the hourglass began to flow, time suddenly stopped.

"See, I am unaffected by time stop."

In the world where time had stopped, Genji casually stretched his body and said with a smile:

"However, the reason for confirming your reincarnation is not just because of this. I once checked your information through some special channels. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, I haven't found out the reason why you became a magical girl. You seem to have appeared suddenly, which seems particularly abrupt."

Hearing Gengo's words, Homura Akemi remained silent as usual, but sometimes silence is the best answer. Seeing this, Gengo smiled slightly, extended his hand to Homura Akemi, and said softly:

"It looks like we'll make good teammates."

"Aren't you a little too confident in yourself?"

Homura Akemi didn't take Gensou's hand; instead, she maintained her aloof expression and said in a low voice:

"This is only our first meeting. Even if you're naturally outgoing, you shouldn't go to this extent."

"You can start over, can't you?"

Yuanxiang smiled confidently and said:

"Since you have so many opportunities to choose again, why not invest in me once? If it works out, everyone will be happy, you'll be happy, and I'll be happy too. If it doesn't work out, you can learn from the experience and avoid the wrong option next time. It's a sure thing."

".....really."

Homura Akemi grasped Gensou's hand, gently shook it, and whispered:

"You've convinced me, so can you tell me what you plan to do next?"

Genji removed the barrier between himself and Homura Akemi, glanced at Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe beside him, and said:

"Naturally, we must try to drive Kyubey out, or at least make the existence of magical girls completely disappear. I'm the kind of person who pursues perfect endings, so let's talk about other things after these basic requirements are met."

"It's not as simple as you think."

Homura Akemi said softly:

"The Qubi are practically inexhaustible. I've killed at least a thousand, if not ten thousand, of them during this period, and I haven't even found out where their lair is."

"Let's wait until Kyubey comes to us for this kind of thing."

Yuanxiang said with a smile:

"Although I'm speaking so confidently, I'm still taking it one step at a time. But as long as I don't go too far, I can at least maintain some initiative in front of Kyubey."

"Strange guy, but since you're so inexplicably confident, I'll tell you some information."

Homura Akemi hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"Soon, a terrifying witch will appear. She is called Witch Night and is an extremely powerful witch. She is so powerful that even ordinary humans can see her with the naked eye. I don't know how destructive she is, but it is said to be enough to destroy this planet. At the very least, this city will not escape. Everyone here will be wiped out by her."

"Where did you get all this information from...?"

Sakura Kyoko muttered under her breath, mainly directed at Genji. After all, that guy had just dropped such a shocking bombshell, snatched her Soul Gem, and then casually left her aside to chat with Akemi Homura in a private room. Honestly, I was so shocked, I was practically turning into a witch! Even if you can absorb turbidity, you can't do this...

and many more.

Am I overlooking something crucial?

Sakura Kyoko was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the man's expression, Akemi Homura was also slightly taken aback. This girl, who had reincarnated several times, realized something and suddenly looked at Genji, at Sakura Kyoko's soul gem in his hand. Seeing the last trace of turbidity being absorbed, the two of them fell silent at the same time, and then looked at Tomoe Mami, who was standing to the side smiling.

It's true.

Mami Tomoe naturally knew what they were asking her for confirmation, and said with a smile:

"If it weren't for Mr. Gengo's ability, I would have become a witch by now."

"I said, should we team up and lock this guy in the basement?"

Sakura Kyoko, with a mischievous smile on her face, looked at Genji, chuckled, and whispered:

"This guy is no ordinary person... He's alright now."

Seeing Gengo's grinning, raised fist, Sakura Kyoko didn't hesitate and immediately chose to follow her heart. After all, she couldn't beat him; she really couldn't beat him...

"So what are you planning to do next?"

Homura Akemi composed herself, looked at Genji, and said softly:

"If you're looking for Kyubey, I suggest you keep an eye on him at this school. All the magical girls in this area are here, so this is the most likely place for those bastards to show up."

"In that case, let's have a chat now. I'm quite curious about your experiences."

Genji naturally extended an invitation to Homura Akemi, who accepted without much hesitation. As for Genji's existence... well, she'd overheard him several times outside the small round window, so she was quite curious. What kind of person was he? He hadn't existed in previous loops...

"Hey, if you want to go over there and punch that guy right now, I'll definitely help you."

Kyoko Sakura glanced at the two people who had left after exchanging greetings, then looked at Mami Tomoe and said:

"This guy can just walk off with another woman without even turning his head. If you go and beat him up now, you'll have a perfectly good reason to do so."

"Kyoko, please don't misunderstand my relationship with Mr. Gensou."

Mami Tomoe smiled as she looked at Kyoko Sakura, who was determined to get revenge on Gengo, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Gensou and I only met last night, and we don't have the ambiguous relationship you're talking about. But if it's okay, I wouldn't mind, but that's a matter for later. Kyoko, it's lunchtime now, come and have some black tea and cake."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you have anything else besides these two things?"

Hearing the voices of the two people behind him who seemed to be getting along quite well, Gengo smiled, then looked at Homura Akemi beside him and said softly:

"How many times have you been reincarnated?"

"There are so many, I can't even count them all."

Homura glanced at Gensou, then slightly distanced herself, as if afraid of being misunderstood, and answered:

"This kind of thing is irrelevant. Anyway, I haven't achieved my goal yet, so the number of times doesn't matter."

"So what is your purpose?"

Gengo continued to press, his gaze falling on Homura Akemi's black hair after she deactivated her transformation, and he could faintly sense the condensed obsession within it.

"It would be great if we could reach an agreement."

"almost."

Homura Akemi glanced at the students passing by and answered softly:

"You know Madoka, right? My goal is simple: to stop Madoka from becoming a magical girl, then defeat Witch Night, protect Madoka, and prevent her from becoming Kyubey's victim."

"Um?!"

Genji was completely taken aback by this answer. This magical girl actually had a connection with Madoka Kaname. He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said:

"In the past, Madoka also became a magical girl... what happened then?"

"Not very good."

Homura Akemi's expression grew increasingly cold, her tone laced with an indescribable murderous intent and rage as she gritted her teeth and said:

"With bastards like Kyubey around, what future is there for magical girls?"

"I understand. This time, at least we've reached a consensus on protecting Xiaoyuan."

Gengo reached out to pat Homura Akemi's shoulder to comfort her, but remembering how she had deliberately kept her distance, he didn't reach out. Looking ahead, he continued:

"I came here because I was worried that Madoka might run into some trouble. By the way, I have already told Madoka the truth about magical girls. I think even if she meets Kyubey, that child will not easily agree to the contract to become a magical girl."

"It's no use. Those bastards Kyubey know exactly when to tempt people into becoming magical girls."

Homura Akemi said in a completely unwavering tone:

"Xiaoyuan is too kind. If Kyubey were to harm her, Xiaoyuan would definitely fall into their trap."

"Don't worry, I have my wind blowing through this city all the time."

Gensou stretched out his hand, and in Homura Akemi's sight, a wisp of emerald green energy swirled around it, faintly emitting a glow. The boy smiled and said:

"With this, I can sense everything that happens in this city. If Kyubey gets close to Madoka, I will be able to detect them."

"........"

Upon hearing this, Homura Akemi opened her mouth speechlessly, then composed herself and said softly:
