Sister Rescue Plan

The door opened, and in came a young woman with waist-length hair, a cold expression, and dressed in cool-toned clothes. She exuded a unique aura that dispelled the lingering cheerful atmosphere in the office.

The girl bowed and said, "My name is Homura Akemi, and I'm here to see Ms. Saotome."

"Oh, right, you're the new transfer student, Akatsuki." Saotome glanced at her watch as if she remembered something. "Class is about to start, let me take you to the classroom to meet your classmates."

"Good work."

The girl bowed again, her expression still indifferent, as if she couldn't smile. She followed Ms. Saotome out of the office, but the atmosphere inside the office still hadn't eased, as if the girl's aura of awkward silence hadn't dissipated.

"Homura Akemi is transferring schools; the main plot is probably about to begin."

By the window, Mirai Izayoi scratched her head in distress. She still had no idea how to complete the mission. Should she teach Madoka Magic and make her a real magical girl? But that didn't conflict with wishing for Kyubey. In fact, after tasting the sweetness of power, wasn't it only natural to wish for even greater power?

This annoyance continued until school ended, when Mami Tomoe went to have afternoon tea with Mirai Yosai.

"What's wrong, cousin? You seem troubled. What's the matter?" Mami Tomoe took a sip of black tea and smiled mischievously. "Is it because of your girlfriend? You're certainly at that age, cousin."

They've gotten to know each other quite well over the past few days, and Mami Tomoe has gradually become accustomed to having someone to drink tea and chat with.

Yushou Mirai downed her black tea in one gulp: "No way, your cousin is very popular, I don't lack girlfriends at all."

"That sounds like something a jerk would say." Mami Tomoe looked at Mirai Izayoi, tilting her head. "Have you had a lot of girlfriends?"

"Remove the 'past'." Izayoi Mirai held up one finger. "I'm a very responsible person, I won't let go of a single one."

Mami Tomoe's mouth gaped slightly in surprise: "You're actually thinking about having a harem? Are you some emperor resurrected from a dynasty? Bigamy is a crime."

"Why not just not get a marriage certificate? We can also solve the child's household registration problem with money." Izayoi Mirai ate the cake that Tomoe Mami brought her. "You know, in modern society, rich people live much more comfortably than emperors. So, what do you think, doesn't your cousin seem terrible?"

Mami Tomoe shook her head: "Taking full responsibility isn't so bad, but do your sisters-in-law know about this?"

Izayoi Mirai's hand trembled, and she almost poked the cake into her nose. Shiori knew this, although the scene where she agreed was like coercion, but she had a good temper! Neither Medea nor Miku could Izayoi Mirai imagine the consequences of knowing that she was a womanizer.

He'd probably get stabbed to death, right?

He suddenly felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen and neck. Seeing the expression on Izayoi Mirai's face, Tomoe Mami chuckled and covered her lips slightly: "Could it be that they don't know about your ambitions, cousin?"

"Actually, one of them knows."

Izayoi Mirai ate her cake in big bites, deciding not to think about it anymore. She looked at Mami Tomoe and asked, "Where's your Kyubey? Did you leave it at home?"

Chapter Five: When people are pushed to the limit, they'll do anything, except solve math problems.

"Help me—"

In the dimly lit stairwell, a small white beast scurries about, pursued by a girl with an expressionless face, gun in hand. Her cold eyes hold a deep-seated hatred, and every bullet is driven by a determination to kill.

Downstairs, Madoka Kaname was strolling around with her friend Sayaka Miki when suddenly she seemed to hear a sound and looked around.

"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?"

"I think I heard a sound."

Xiao Yuan was a little confused. She held onto the handrail and walked up the stairs. The rustling sounds reached her ears, getting louder and louder, and closer and closer.

What is it?

An unknown fear enveloped her, and Xiaoyuan unconsciously took a step back, somewhat regretting her recklessness. Sayaka, who had come with her, was also a little scared and grabbed Xiaoyuan's sleeve.

Click—

A hole was smashed in the ceiling above their heads, and the battered and bruised Kyubey fell down, landing in front of Madoka and the other girl. His pitiful appearance instantly aroused the two little girls' sympathy.

"Xiaoyuan, save me."

Kyubey looked up at Madoka and its voice seemed to come from the depths of their hearts. Perhaps because Kyubey was so cute, the two of them completely ignored the strange phenomenon that it could talk without opening its mouth and ran up to it.

At that moment, a dark figure jumped down, the gun in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground. The two were stunned. It was Homura Akemi, the transfer student who had just arrived today.

"Can you give it to me?"

Homura Akemi's eyes flickered for a moment when she saw Madoka, but then returned to normal. Her gaze passed over the two of them and landed on Kyubey, her fingers gripping the gun unconsciously tightening.

“That won’t do, that child is an important friend of mine.”

A clear voice rang out, like light piercing through darkness, and the bright yellow hue illuminated the entire space. Mami Tomoe walked over and tossed her curly hair.

How many times have I been at odds with her?

Despite being prepared, Homura Akemi still felt a deep weariness upon seeing familiar faces, though this emotion was masked by her cold exterior. What surprised her even more was that Mami Tomoe was followed by a man.

She stared intently at the man. Having reincarnated hundreds of times, she had never known that Mami Tomoe had such a friend. Moreover, she seemed to have seen him briefly in the office today.

This is a variable.

Her heart pounded wildly, and she didn't even know what she was expecting. What did he represent? And what would he do?

"Unknown magical girl, are you ignoring me?"

Seeing that she was staring at Izayoi Mirai, Mami thought that she was going to make a move on her cousin first. After all, an ordinary person is indeed vulnerable. She stepped forward to block him, somewhat annoyed.

"Don't be nervous, Mami."

Izayoi Mirai held her shoulder and comforted her, "Perhaps this young lady is just captivated by me. After all, she is young and easily attracted to beautiful things."

"You're really shameless when you're being narcissistic, cousin. Are you even going to target middle schoolers now?"

Mami Tomoe was a little annoyed and slammed her left elbow back. Was this the time to flirt with girls?

Mirai grabbed Mami Tomoe's elbow and was about to say something when her expression suddenly turned serious. Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi also noticed that something was wrong.

A gloomy atmosphere spread, darkness covered the original floor, and piles of white heads rolled around, emitting an eerie light, becoming the only source of light in the darkness. The sound of metal scraping together rang out, as if countless iron chains were intertwined.

Laughter echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the space, while something writhed in the shadows.

The two ordinary girls who had wandered in were the most frightened. Fear made them hug each other tightly, their voices trembling: "What happened?"

"what happened?"

A soft laugh reached Xiaoyuan's ears, bringing a chill, as if someone was breathing on her back. Soon, the sound spread, and layers of laughter echoed in the space:

"what happened?"

"Hehe, what's going on?"

Xiao Yuan's scalp blew open, a chill ran straight to the top of her head, and she and Sayaka screamed.

"Don't make a sound."

A cold voice came from in front of them. Homura Akemi glanced at them, raised her pistol and fired into the shadows. She didn't know what she hit, but a scream rang out.

On the other side, Mami Tomoe and Mirai Izayoi stared at each other, wide-eyed. She had thought that Mirai Izayoi would be scared in this strange situation, and even if she was a boy, her pale face and trembling legs would show it. But she wasn't.

She stared into Izayoi Mirai's eyes, trying to find a weakness: "Aren't you afraid?"

Izayoi Mirai's eyes widened: "Do I need to show fear?"

Mami Tomoe was extremely disappointed. She was furious at the thought of the "gift" that Mirai Yusai had given her a few days ago. As the class's math teacher, Mirai Yusai was in charge of the math textbook's progress, and she had to write the "Huanggang Secret Papers" on the pages that were covered in class that day, which Mirai would then check the next day!

Mami Tomoe was furious. She was a magical girl who went out every day to find witches and maintain world peace. How could she waste her time on something like this!

But her complaints were shut down by a single sentence from Yoshimi: "Maintaining world peace is no challenge for you, so a mere math problem should be a piece of cake for you too."

At this moment, all she hoped for was that Yosuke would be so frightened in the future that she would have to rely on her and Mami Tomoe for protection, and that she would be too embarrassed to force Yosuke to do homework in the future. However, her wish was not fulfilled.

"Aren't you going to sleep with her?"

Izayoi Mirai pointed inside, "Isn't defeating witches the mission of magical girls?"

Mami Tomoe turned around, leaped into the air, and landed on a staircase. Dozens of long-barreled flintlock muskets appeared behind her, their flashes illuminating the darkness. She vented all her pent-up frustration on these familiars.

Yoyo Mirai remained on guard, ready to act at any moment. A flame ignited at the tip of his finger behind his back, and a hissing sound emanated from it.

The resentment here is indeed extremely strong, which adds another layer of credibility to the system's explanation.

Boom!

A loud bang drew everyone's attention. The building shook, and the explosion exposed the concrete ground, indicating that the witch's barrier had been breached.

Izayoi Mirai stared at Homura Akemi, her eyes twitching slightly: "How much weaponry did this guy get from the military to use so recklessly?"

The darkness receded, the laughter that had been lingering around faded away, and the world of light reappeared.

The witch ran away.

Mami Tomoe finished her transformation, and her Soul Gem transformed into a ring on her middle finger. Mirai Izayoi keenly noticed that her Soul Gem had become slightly cloudy.

I wonder if the Pure Fire can purify her Soul Gem.

Yosuke Mirai stared at the flame at her fingertips, lost in thought.

Chapter Six: Hurry up and laugh!

"What? Are you scared?"

Mami Tomoe looked at Mirai Izayoi with some anticipation. "Can I skip my homework?"

"You're overthinking it. How could such a show of force scare me?"

Izayoi Mirai pointed to Madoka and Sayaka behind her, "Aren't you going to comfort them? That young lady doesn't seem to know how to comfort people."

Homura Akemi is indeed not good at comforting people. Perhaps she used to be, but after going through countless reincarnations just to save Madoka, she has lost all her gentleness and hardened her exterior, making her cold and sharp. Only Madoka can touch the last bit of softness in her heart.

Seeing the fear in Xiaoyuan's eyes, she sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Mami Tomoe picked up Kyubey, and the Soul Gem glowed faintly. Several ribbons extended out, wrapping around Kyubey and healing its wounds. Even without transforming, as a seasoned magical girl, she could do this with a little magic.

"Thank you for helping this child."

Mami thanked Madoka and the others, saying, "It's very important to me."

"I heard its cries and felt I had to save it."
