Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cupid's Wish

Compared to other magical girls, Mami Tomoe is quite lucky, because the witch who looks exactly like her has no intention of harming her at all. She simply invites her to drink tea and eat cake, acting all warm and hospitable, making her the friendliest witch of the year.

If it weren't for that face that looked exactly like hers, and the Soul Gem that constantly reminded her of the true nature of the person opposite her, Mami Tomoe would have been quite happy to have tea and a heart-to-heart talk with someone who shared her interests.

Now, she could only hypnotize herself and tell herself that this was just an illusion. After all, there were quite a few familiar dolls around this witch, weren't there?

Izayoi Mirai, Sakura Kyoko, Kyubey Musume.

A doll, identical to the one described by her friend, poured tea for the two of them. Long ribbons wrapped around them, reaching the ground and extending to the beautiful witch. Mami Tomoe easily understood the meaning behind it—

She bound them and wouldn't let them leave.

Shall we fight?

Mami Tomoe's hand unconsciously reached under her skirt, imagining herself shaking it off as she always did, taking out her flintlock pistol, and shooting this pretentious witch dead.

Her hands were trembling uncontrollably. She realized something was wrong, but she refused to think about it.

The alluring witch seemed oblivious to her subtle movements, setting down her teacup: "Don't you like black tea? I'm quite confident in my skills."

Perhaps there's something wrong with the tea, or perhaps she's planning to attack me while I'm drinking it...

Mami kept trying to find excuses to convince herself, but she still reached out and picked up the cup of black tea as if possessed.

A sweet aroma wafted from her taste buds, and as she drank the warm liquid, Mami Tomoe squinted her eyes in enjoyment. The soup was a vibrant red, with a lingering fragrance, and the taste and temperature were just right, as if she had brewed it herself.

There was no going back. Mami Tomoe's voice was a little hoarse: "Who exactly are you?"

"Isn't it obvious already?" The Witch of Beauty still smiled. "I am you, Mami Tomoe."

The Seed of Lamentation floated in her hand: "Why can the Seed of Lamentation purify the Soul Gem? What will happen if the Soul Gem remains unpurified? Think about it, isn't the answer right before your eyes?"

Mami Tomoe's pupils contracted sharply. All the clues were connected, and the answer was revealed—magical girls are witches.

So all along, I've been killing magical girls? And I myself will become a witch, to be killed by the magical girls who come after me.

Mami Tomoe trembled as she drew her gun, aimed at the beautiful witch, and pulled the trigger under her pitying gaze.

Snapped!

The bullet was caught by the doll, and at the same time, the enchanting witch's barrier opened, and someone she never expected walked in.

It's Cupid's mother, and there's a Cupid perched on her shoulder.

"Oh dear, we have a new guest. Would you like a cup of black tea?" The enchantress's smile brightened instantly. Afraid of loneliness, she loved having guests and hated them the most, as that was when they left—that was her chance to strike.

Kyubey's mother took the black tea, silently drank it all in one gulp, and Kyubey on her shoulder greeted Mami Tomoe: "Yo, Mami, long time no see."

"Chubi—"

Mami Tomoe's tone was complex. Did Kyubey, who turned her into a magical girl, already know about her doom? No, he must have known.

"You're going to die."

Looking at the Soul Gem on Mami Tomoe's hat, which was rapidly becoming cloudy, Kyubey's mother showed no emotion.

"I know." Mami Tomoe lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, tears falling to the ground. The chaos of killing the other magical girls, the anger and disbelief at the truth, and the fear of death all came crashing down on this fifteen-year-old girl.

Suppressed sobs echoed within the small enclosure. Qubi's mother touched her chest, a strange emotion she had never experienced before washing over her, spreading throughout her body and even bringing physical pain.

dong dong——

The barrier was violently smashed open, and Youxiao Mirai and her group barged in like a demolition crew. The beautiful witch was immediately targeted, but she didn't resist much, nor did she need to. She had already won.

With a final, wistful glance at the barrier that had crammed her full, she vanished contentedly. At that moment, a large hand seized the Soul Gem that was about to transform into a Seed of Lamentation. Orange flames ignited, and in an instant, thick black mist rose from it, a swirling torrent of despair and curses.

Solemn chanting filled the air as Araki Ren and Yushou Mirai recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra, a supreme sutra for eliminating karma and guiding beings to salvation. For a moment, even the air around them seemed much cleaner.

However, it was still irreversible. After all, they did not have a deep understanding of Buddhism, and when they took over, Mami Tomoe was only half a step away from becoming a witch. She slowly and steadily fell into the abyss.

"It's no use, she's beyond saving."

Qubi's lips moved, but she ultimately didn't say those words. What seemed like a matter of course in the past was now being negated by her emotions.

"Cupid, let's start the experiment now. I want to make a wish."

She connected with Cupid without alerting anyone.

"Are you sure the emotional fluctuations have reached the target?" Cupid brushed her face with his tail. "Should we inform our ally and let him witness the joy of success?"

"no need."

Qubi's mother touched her face, which was covered with tears. She was quite certain that she had met the standard, and perhaps even exceeded it.

"My wish is that magical girls will turn back into ordinary humans after they become witches."

Kyubey's wish far exceeded Kyubey's expectations. A strong light burst forth from Kyubey's body, attracting everyone's attention, and even Yosuke Mirai's hand movements slowed down a bit.

Mami Tomoe transformed completely into a witch, only to revert to an ordinary girl in the next instant. The Witch's Night dissipated, the typhoon subsided, and Mirai Izayoi stood there, bewildered, not understanding what had happened. Sunlight broke through the dark clouds, casting its rays upon the earth.

Everyone present was unharmed, except for Kyubey's mother, who had disappeared.

Yushou Mirai's eyes were momentarily confused, all memories of Kyubey-chan fading rapidly, but she remembered them in the next instant, and she turned her gaze to Kyubey: "What's going on?"

Kyubey paused for a second and said, "She wished that the witch would turn back into an ordinary girl, but because her soul's aptitude was insufficient, it dissipated, probably becoming something like the rules of the universe. Our impression of her will quickly fade away, but it doesn't seem to have a very strong effect. The experimental data recorded before was not destroyed along with it, and you remembered it too."

"Why would she do that?" Izayoi Mirai couldn't understand it. Sacrificing herself for all the magical girls didn't seem like something Kyubey would do.

“It seems to be because of guilt.” Kyubey wagged its tail. “We planned Mami’s car accident before. There have been many similar incidents before. It’s probably because after becoming human, her excessive emotions affected her judgment.”

Kyubey was somewhat puzzled: "Are you humans really that prone to self-destruction? Your emotions seem to be almost like a plague."

Izayoi Mirai had no interest in Kyubey's inner thoughts: "Remember our promise."

“Remember, we will leave,” Kyubey said nonchalantly. “Although this special individual did not provide the energy for transformation, her actions have proven the feasibility of your plan, and she has patched up our plan. We only need to cultivate a group of people with bodies to harvest them repeatedly.”

Cupid wagged his tail: "Well then, goodbye."

"Never again."

Chapter Thirty-Nine: After the Great Battle, There Must Be O-Games

[Ding! This world's mission: Prevent Madoka Kaname from becoming a magical girl. Completed. Due to being part of a series of missions, the mission reward will be settled later.]

[Should we start the next task immediately?]

"no."

[Nine days until the next world officially opens. Please rest well, host.]

The system's voice fell silent. Yushou Mirai wasn't as happy as he had imagined. To be honest, he had never liked Kyubey-chan, but he had to admit that the ending she chose was beyond his expectations. As a result, his previous dislike for her dissatisfaction dissipated, replaced by a more complex feeling.

When you spend a lot of time together, you'll always develop some feelings for each other.

He sighed and stopped thinking about it. It seemed that Sakura Kyoko and the others didn't remember Kyubey-chan anymore. Only Tomoe Mami would occasionally space out with a somewhat unfocused look in her eyes. She always felt that she had forgotten something.

“Cousin,” Mami Tomoe looked at Mirai Izayoi, her brows furrowing slightly, “How did I turn back into a normal person? And how exactly did Witch's Night end?”

"The bosses have all been defeated, so it's over." Yushou Mirai waved her hand. "If you're free, why don't you come and lend a hand?"

The witches all turned back into ordinary girls, and those witches bound by him and Medea were no exception. Medea released the contract imprinted on their souls, and later she would contact the police station to send them back.

Whether they became witches or were killed by witches, the girls' bodies were never found, and their files at the police station were missing. Now, Medea is using hints to alter their memories of this period, changing them from being witches who harmed people to being captured by the couple and forced into hard labor, to being kidnapped by human traffickers, and then to the couple, Mirai and Izayoi, acting bravely and rescuing them.

As for those human traffickers, we can only trouble the all-powerful thugs again. Yushou Mirai decided to go out again that night to see if she could find any thugs whose behavior was really out of line.

Hmm, maybe we could ask the local gangs to help screen people? They should have a lot of control over this area, so there's no need for Yuuyo Mirai to run around. Maybe we could even find a lead on child trafficking?

Having once again contributed to Japan's security, Izayoi Mirai felt that the red scarf on her chest was even brighter.

After settling the girls in temporarily, Izayoi Mirai gave Medea a wink, and the two returned to their room. Izayoi Mirai took out a petite body from her personal space, with silver hair, red eyes, and snow-white skin.

He held the lucky charm and poured magic into it. Countless points of light lit up, and Ilya, who had been sleeping in the lucky charm, awoke and merged into that body.

It's time to wake Ilya up.

The body was made by Medea and was completed a long time ago, but because of the Witch's Night incident, Izayoi Mirai has not been able to revive her.

Things are different now. Everything has been resolved, and this world is now just an ordinary, everyday world, except that the people here have rounder faces.

Izayoi Mirai did not intend to take Illya to other worlds. He always felt that children should not get involved in dangerous things, even if she was only physically small. Moreover, with Illya's strength, she really couldn't be of much help. Medea was enough.

Ilya's eyelashes fluttered, and she woke up.

The moment she saw Izayoi Mirai, she immediately got up to check her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief when she found them intact.

Izayoi Mirai was deeply hurt: "This is an insult to my character!"

Ilya glanced at him sideways: "I wonder who it was that offered to help me retrieve the Holy Grail fragment last time, only to steal my panties instead!"

Izayoi Mirai fell silent. He had indeed done it before, but it was because his abilities were not mature enough and an accident happened!

"And the body I made for my sister last time, there wasn't even a piece of cloth to cover her up!"

Ilya pointed at Yoichi Mirai with one finger, "Admit it, you're a perverted lecher!"

Izayoi Mirai tried to salvage her reputation: "Those were all accidents; I didn't think that much about it at the time."

Ilya snorted: "You still want to argue? I won't believe you!"

"Alright, stop arguing," Medea stepped in to smooth things over. "This isn't the same world as before. Ilya, would you like to go out and take a look?"

"Another world?" Ilya blinked. "A parallel world?"

“No, this is a world completely unrelated to the two Counter Forces.” Izayoi Mirai opened the door and said, “Come out and take a look.”

It was only then that Ilya realized that Da Yuan's magic was also not quite right. She had previously thought it was because he had a new body, but she did not expect that he had come to another world.

After a brief moment of panic, joy rose from the bottom of her heart. Yes, she no longer had to worry about going back to that cold castle to slowly wait for death.

Screw family mission!

Ilya rushed out happily and happened to see Mami Tomoe chatting with the girls in the living room. These former witches would stay in the surrounding houses for one or two days, waiting for Mirai Izayoi to find a human trafficker, then notify the police and parents to come and pick them up. Anyway, there was a barrier in place, so there was no need to worry about safety.
