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

"I'm just a stupid and foolish bad guy indulging in naive fantasies and self-satisfaction..."

Chen Nan rushed into his arms, and Huo Chen's body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and gently stroked Chen Nan's back.

"You got scammed? How did you get scammed? Who scammed you? I'll help you get revenge."

“It’s a guy named Cupid…” Chen Nan said, her voice trembling with tears.

"Kyubi?!!"

Hearing Huo Chen's exclamation, Chen Nan looked up.

"You know it?"

"Don't joke like that," Huo Chen shook his head and said, "Have you seen 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'? Those stories are all fictional..."

"Magical Girl...Puella Magi Madoka Magica?"

Chen Nan's attention wasn't on the 'fictional works' Huo Chen mentioned, but rather on the 'magical girl' she had brought up.

"Hmm, isn't Kyubey, the character you're talking about, a character from this anime?"

"By the way, the white doll you mentioned this morning was Kyubey, right?"

"However, although that thing looks cute, it's not a good thing. It tricks girls into signing contracts to grant their wishes and turn them into magical girls."

"But becoming a magical girl doesn't end well... the girls will eventually be irreversibly transformed into witches."

"Witch?"

Chen Nan stopped crying and grabbed Huo Chen's arm with both hands.

"What is that?"

"You're hurting me," Huo Chen cried out in pain.

After Chen Nan let go, she rubbed her arm and said.

"Witches are like enemies in 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'."

"They are monsters transformed from magical girls, who devour humans and destroy the world."

"Enemy...monster?"

Chen Nan lowered her head, her body feeling as if it had been hollowed out.

She felt an unprecedented coldness, confusion, and...fear.

She hurt others in the process of becoming a magical girl and fulfilling her wishes.

After her wish is shattered, will she turn into a monster and a villain, continuing to harm humans?

"Then... under what circumstances would a magical girl turn into a witch?"

Chen Nan felt like her head was about to explode, with only the last thread of reason holding her together. With that reason, she asked Huo Chen a question.

Huo Chen continued to answer:

“Magical girls using magic can cause the Soul Gem to misunderstand. If it is not purified with the Seed of Lamentation, the Soul Gem will become completely corrupted and they will fall into witches.”

"Despair, regret, fear... such negative emotions can exacerbate this irreversible process."

The gemstone became tainted...

Chen Nan instinctively covered her chest.

Beneath the clothing, a gemstone pendant was hanging there.

Chen Nan suddenly stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.

Seeing Chen Nan's sudden movement, Huo Chen also stood up.

"Hey, Chen Nan... what's wrong? Are you waiting here for the headmistress and the others?"

But Chen Nan ignored her and instead started running quickly outside.

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

Meanwhile, Kazama had already arrived near the Blue Sky Orphanage.

A girl ran down the street from the other side, running very fast, and soon reached the back of Kazama.

Kazama immediately stopped and turned around.

"what happened?"

Kerberos's voice came through, seemingly puzzled by Kazama's sudden stop.

"Could it be...?"

Following the direction Kazama was looking, Cerberus also spotted the girl running away.

"Yes, it's that child."

Kazama turned and slipped into the alleyway beside him.

A moment later, a large, jet-black bird took off from the alley and flew in that direction.

P.S.: Maybe I can take care of Cupid tonight.

PS2: I know you can't accept the main character being abused, but can't you accept the supporting characters being abused either?

Forget it, I won't write this kind of plot anymore.

The next chapter will be about the girl's redemption.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Let's Do It (Part Two)

"Chubi!"

The girl was running down the street, shouting a name, which drew the attention of passersby.

She wanted me to find out exactly what was going on. She wanted to confront that guy face-to-face about why he had hidden things from and lied to her.

But no matter how she called out, the little white beast, which should have responded to her calls, did not.

The reason is simple: for Cupid, that was enough.

Now, it can only wait quietly in the shadows for the harvest, for the calamity to be born from the egg.

Chen Nan gradually slowed her pace and stopped shouting.

She wandered aimlessly through the streets, unaware that she had entered a residential area.

Someone blocked her way.

Whose child is this?

"There's a fire ahead, don't go there, go play somewhere else."

Chen Nan raised her head, her eyes vacant as she stared ahead.

Several red fire trucks were parked in front of the crowd.

Chen Nan silently turned around and walked into the other side of the corridor, taking the elevator to the rooftop on the sixteenth floor.

She stood blankly at the edge of the rooftop, gazing at everything in the distance.

She took off the gemstone pendant from her chest and held it in her hand.

The amber-colored gemstone has now turned pitch black.

Something was wrapped around it, like wisps of smoke.

Only one corner of the gem remained untouched by the blackness, but the blackness continued to spread towards that corner, as if it couldn't wait to fill the girl's soul.

Black represents despair, hatred, sorrow, fear, and what is called 'malice'.

To obtain a miracle that grants one's wish at the cost of one's soul.

However, miracles are not cheap or free.

Using magic will taint the gems; despair and sorrow will intensify the process.

When the gem is completely corrupted, the monster within it will break free from the girl's soul and transform into a monster that only knows destruction and hatred.

This was what Huo Chen had told her before.

It was as if a terrifying monster was crawling out of his body.

Chen Nan suddenly felt ice-cold all over.

Witches will be born... and as the egg that hatches the witch, will she eventually... die?

No, that's not the point.

It should be said that we must prevent witches from being born...

We must not allow something so evil as to harm others to be born.

So, she needs to do it before that...

If a magical girl dies before becoming a witch, then a witch will never be born.

For example, jumping off from here...

Chen Nan looked down at her feet.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a faint cry.

Chen Nan turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Fire... A raging fire spread across the entire fifteenth floor of the building next door.

Yes, there's a fire next door.

However, Chen Nan was so engrossed in her mind-numbing, lifeless state that she didn't notice.

The shouts came from a window on the side of the building, where a mother and daughter were standing holding a child.

With his enhanced body, his vision allowed him to clearly see the terror on the faces of the mother and daughter.

Chen Nan was about to take action, but she suddenly stopped.

Using magic again would make the gem cloudy, and the gem was no longer strong enough to withstand another use of magic.

If she uses magic, she will immediately transform into a witch.
