Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

PS3: Thank you to Lily, Governor of the Fog Fleet, my sister Tako, and many other generous donors.

Chapter Sixty-Two: I'm Such an Stupid Person (Part Two)

"The girl's wish is for the world to become a utopian world."

"An ideal world that exists only in beautiful visions."

"But ultimately, the shape of human society is determined by the level of productivity. The current level of human development determines the shape of human society."

"Therefore, such a beautiful world where everyone is a saint is destined to be nothing but an illusion. The child's pure and beautiful wish is destined to be nothing but a tragic wish."

"But seeing the true nature of the wish will inevitably bring sorrow. From the moment this wish was made, although as the first magical girl she did not need to fight witches, the child's fall from grace was inevitable."

"It can only be said that the incubator really chose a very good target."

"With such a pure wish, it is only a matter of time before the child despairs, provided it is guided even slightly."

Kazama sighed upon learning that the girl had taken action again and punished a fake drug dealer.

"That's how it is..."

Cerberus's voice rang in Kazama's ears.

"After all, you only had such a short time with that child the day before yesterday, so it's questionable how much of what you said she actually listened to. Plus, there was a pyramid scheme leader stirring things up around you."

"I think the verbal sparring in shonen anime is pretty ridiculous. If you can be swayed by a bunch of talk and words, can you still call it an 'obsession'?"

"As expected, you said that previous contact was to buy time. But I think you probably had other ideas."

"For example... Ah Feng, you're conflicted about your attitude towards that child right now, aren't you?"

"I've been thinking about it, and if we want to completely resolve this issue, besides addressing the root cause of the problem... that child is also someone we need to deal with."

“Magical girls will eventually fall into witches, and witches are no longer human. They will bring calamities to the world. You cannot ignore this risk.”

"And this process is irreversible, not that it is definitely irreversible, perhaps there is a way to reverse it... but we don't have the time to find it. Because before that, the child will become a witch."

"Therefore, the most direct way is to kill that magical girl."

“But this is different from the parasites we killed before. Parasites are alien creatures, non-human races. Magical girls, on the other hand, are at least ‘human’ before they become witches, with human thoughts and ideas.”

"To deal with this, you need to kill a human."

"Moreover, this isn't some heinous criminal; it's a child with dreams who was deceived and did wrong..."

"Get to know that child, talk to her, and no matter what the outcome, you'll feel better."

Kazama's satchel bulged out, as if something was trying to pop out of it. But Kazama pressed it back down.

After a moment, Cerberus gave up struggling and simply said from inside the bag:

"I bet you even think it would be better if that child turned into a witch."

"At least, you can act without so many reservations when dealing with witches who have become completely inhuman."

"Cerberus, you've become unlovable."

Kazama said expressionlessly, then looked at the documents in his hand.

This is the target list that Kazama obtained by infiltrating the hospital based on clues.

The target has been almost locked in.

He eliminated the first few, leaving only one name on the list.

This person perfectly matches the clues in Kazama's deduction.

However, he recognized the name.

Chen Nan.

The child that Kazama accompanied Unzan to visit at the hospital before.

Such a coincidence filled Kazama with disbelief.

Or is it not a coincidence, but...?

Kazama thought to himself:

"Wishing System...Cause and Effect Rules."

"If that's the case, this thing is a bit scary..."

.............

Right and wrong, good and evil.

Does someone have to be guilty just because they did something wrong?

What if you do something bad with good intentions?

Is good always right, and evil always bad?

don't know...

I don't understand...

I don't understand anything at all...

I didn't understand what my wish was until last night when Cupid told me that it was not what I thought it was.

Everything was completely different from what I had imagined.

They thought they were punishing evil and promoting good, making more good people in the world, but in the end they were hurting others.

"sorry..."

"sorry..."

Chen Nan's mind was a complete mess. She didn't know what to do, and could only apologize to Huo Chen over and over again.

Seeing his younger sister repeatedly apologizing to him, Huo Chen, who was completely bewildered, became even more flustered.

Fortunately, Chen Nan let go of her hand at this moment. Huo Chen dared not stay any longer and immediately went to find Dean Li Hongying and Huang Yue.

A few minutes later, Chen Nan sat in Li Hongying's office.

"Darling, where do you feel unwell? Tell Grandma the headmistress..."

Faced with Li Hongying and Huang Yue's concern, Chen Nan kept shaking her head. Huo Chen was also beside her, looking at Chen Nan with a worried expression.

"Don't hide this kind of thing..."

Li Hongying couldn't help but raise her voice, but then she started coughing violently.

Upon seeing this, Huang Yue immediately came up behind Li Hongying and gently patted her back.

"Ah Yue, please bring me my medicine..."

"Ah."

Huang Yue nodded, went to the cabinet, skillfully took out a bottle of medicine, and handed it to Li Hongying.

With trembling hands, Li Hongying poured the last few pills from the medicine bottle into her hand, then swallowed them with water from a glass on the table.

"Grandma Dean..."

Chen Nan, who had been unwilling to speak, suddenly opened her mouth, staring intently at the empty medicine bottle in Li Hongying's hand.

Although she knew Li Hongying wasn't in good health and was taking medication, this was the first time she had ever seen with her own eyes what kind of medicine Li Hongying was taking.

"What's wrong, little girl...?"

"Grandma Dean, the medicine in your hand..."

It was indeed the first time Chen Nan had seen Li Hongying take medicine, but she had seen that bottle of medicine before.

She saw it last night in the warehouse of that fake drug dealer.

The label on the white bottle was in a foreign language she couldn't understand, and it was exactly the same as the medicine bottle in Li Hongying's hand.

"This is fake medicine, isn't it..." Chen Nan said in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing Chen Nan's words, Li Hongying was taken aback, and then exchanged glances with Huang Yue.

"Actually, it's not really a fake drug, just another kind of imitation, but the effect is not much different from the real one."

Although she didn't know how Chen Nan recognized it as fake medicine at a glance, Li Hongying still softened her tone and explained.

"Don't underestimate this thing. It's what keeps me alive, Grandma Dean."

"But it's fake medicine... Why don't you buy real medicine?"

Li Hongying gave a wry smile: "You're still young, you don't understand. Real medicine is so expensive, how many poor families can afford it?"

"If only real medicine could be used, these old bones of mine probably wouldn't have lasted this long; I'd starve to death..."

Chen Nan was struck dumb, completely stunned.

Li Hongying and Huang Yue also noticed Chen Nan's reaction.

"Nannan?" Li Hongying asked.

Chen Nan did not react.

Seeing this, Li Hongying panicked. She turned to Huang Yue and said:

"I'll go get the car now and take Nannan to the hospital."

"Ah Yue, go and call all the children into the classroom and keep an eye on them."

"Xiao Huo, you stay here and watch over Nannan for now," Li Hongying said to Huo Chen.

After saying that, Li Hongying and Huang Yue hurriedly left the office.

Watching the two figures leave, Huo Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Nan again.

She swallowed hard and asked Chen Nan:

"Chen Nan, are you alright?"

Unexpectedly, two lines of tears suddenly streamed down Chen Nan's face, and she threw herself into Huo Chen's arms.

"I...I think I've been scammed."

"I've realized that I'm doing bad things now, and I'm the bad guy."
