I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Transfer student!" The students sitting in the class exclaimed, looking at the girl standing on the podium with different expressions.

"I'm Homura Akemi, please take care of me." The girl gave a very brief self-introduction and then stopped talking.

Seeing Homura Akemi's expression, the homeroom teacher, Saotome Kazuko, quickly explained to the class, "Um, Homura Akemi has actually been living abroad due to a heart condition. She only returned to Japan after recovering. So, she might be a little unfamiliar with everyone. Please don't mind."

"It looks very impressive, what do you think, Madoka?" Looking at Homura Akemi who had a calm expression on the podium, Sayaka whispered to Madoka beside her.

However, there was no response. Sayaka turned to look at Madoka in confusion and found that Madoka was looking at Homura in a daze.

"Madoka? Madoka?" Sayaka took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the podium and waved in front of Madoka.

"Hmm? Ah! Sayaka, what's wrong?" Madoka came back to her senses a little and responded, but her eyes were still fixed on Homura Akemi.

"Madoka, do you know her? I don't think I've seen her before." Seeing that Madoka's eyes were still looking at Homura Akemi, Sayaka also observed her carefully and confirmed that she had no impression of Homura Akemi in her mind.

"I don't know her either, but it seemed like she was the one who came to see me last night." Shaking her head slightly, Xiaoyuan recalled what happened last night.

"Are you sure, Madoka? You didn't expect that someone would actually look for you? Why don't we go and ask after class is over?" Sayaka was a little surprised to see that Madoka didn't seem to be lying.

So someone really looked for Xiaoyuan yesterday?

"But, wouldn't that be a bad idea..." When Madoka heard Sayaka say that she was going to find Homura Akemi, she became a little worried.

If what happened last night was true, then it was obvious that Homura Akemi didn't want him to do anything. But if Homura Akemi really did it for his own good, and he didn't go to her to ask for clarification, then if he did something bad, it would be even worse.

Well, let's go ask her with Sayaka after class.

Madoka nodded slightly, having made her decision.

As for why she wanted to be with Sayaka, Madoka became more determined after seeing the calm and unperturbed Homura Akemi.

After briefly introducing herself, Homura Akemi found an empty seat and sat down, but she still didn't listen to the class seriously. Instead, she glanced at Madoka from time to time, just like before. Sayaka, who was paying attention to the two of them, accidentally noticed this scene and became curious.

After class, in order to prevent the classmates from coming over and affecting her plans, Homura Akemi left the class alone without saying goodbye to others.

Seeing Homura Akemi leaving alone, Madoka and Sayaka looked at each other and quietly followed her.

On the rooftop of the school, Homura Akemi skillfully opened the door, then walked to the edge and looked at the crowd below. Then, two heads quietly appeared from the open doorway.

"Sayaka, is it really okay for us to do this?"

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll protect Madoka!"

"That's not what I meant."

The two were chatting quietly, but they didn't notice that Homura Akemi had turned around and looked at them.

"Then when are we going out?" Madoka looked up and asked Sayaka.

"Wait a minute, let me see what she is doing." Sayaka gently pressed Madoka's head and looked towards the rooftop, but she found that Homura Akemi had turned her head and looked at them at some point.

The scene fell silent.

"Ahaha, um, Homura Akemi, right? We have something to ask you." After laughing awkwardly twice, Sayaka walked out with Madoka, whose face was a little red.

Homura Akemi didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them quietly.

Seeing Homura Akemi like this, Sayaka scratched her cheek and then put her hands on her hips, "Did you go to see Madoka last night? Is there something going on? Why didn't you wait until daytime?"

Suddenly remembering that they were here to question someone, the embarrassment on Sayaka's face disappeared a lot.

Ignoring Sayaka's question, Homura Akemi kept her eyes fixed on Madoka. After a moment's silence, she spoke softly, "Miracles and magic aren't free. You have to pay a price to get them. Madoka, if something comes to you and asks you to sign a contract to become a magical girl, you must refuse it, or you will regret it."

"Ah...that..." Madoka's eyes kept dodging, not understanding what Homura Akemi meant.

When Sayaka saw that Homura Akemi ignored her, she was a little dissatisfied. "Hey, what weird things are you talking about? What do miracles and magic mean? And what are magical girls? The ones on TV? Why are you rejecting them? Why don't you tell me?"

"Sayaka Miki, you just need to remember not to make a wish because of others. It's meaningless to know anything else." After glancing at Sayaka lightly, Homura Akemi and the two of them passed by and left the rooftop.

"What? You only say half of the words and don't explain clearly what you mean. And how is it possible to make a wish for someone else?" Seeing Homura Akemi's riddle-like look, Sayaka kept complaining.

Xiaoyuan kept persuading her, "It's okay, Sayaka. Xiaomei doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. Maybe she really knows something we don't."

"Madoka, why are you starting to speak for her? Aren't we good friends?" Sayaka looked at Madoka in shock. She didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Madoka seemed to have betrayed her.

"Well, no, I just feel that Akemi really wants to help us, and there's also a sense of familiarity, so... I'm not on her side!" Xiaoyuan quickly waved her hands to explain that she was not a betrayer, but she did feel that Akemi Homura looked very familiar, so she said these words.

"Oh, Madoka, you are just too kind. You are easily deceived like this." Sayaka looked at Madoka with a look of disappointment.

"No way, I'm not that stupid!" Xiaoyuan pouted in dissatisfaction, indicating that she would not be easily fooled.

"Oh, forget it, forget it. You are my good friend, Yuan-chan. Even if you are cheated, I will protect you." Sayaka sighed, a helpless expression appeared on her face, and then she laughed.

"Okay, okay, class is about to start, let's go back quickly."

As he said that, he took Xiaoyuan's hand and hurried back.

"Hey, Sayaka, slow down, I can walk by myself..." Madoka's voice gradually faded away, and Homura Akemi, who had already gone downstairs, reappeared on the rooftop, quietly watching the two people's backs as they walked away.

Chapter 15 First Attempt

"Witch Night?" Mami Tomoe handed the brewed black tea to Homura Akemi and asked in confusion.

"Yes, Witch Night is composed of multiple witches, and there is also a large witch that a single magical girl can never deal with. At least you and I can't do it." Looking at the black tea placed on her, Homura Akemi did not pick it up, but looked at Mami Tomoe calmly.

"Even if you say so, I'm not sure it's true, Akemi-san." Mami smiled slightly and didn't care about Akemi Homura's eyes.

"As a fellow magical girl, I'm very happy that you can come to see me, so even if you're lying to me, I'll be prepared."

As the only magical girl in Mitakihara, Mami was naturally happy to have a companion, not to mention that this companion was her junior. However, this junior started to say something difficult to understand, which made Mami a little distressed.

"Thank you..." Seeing that Mami agreed, Homura Akemi thanked her and then stood up to leave, but an arm holding a cup of black tea blocked her way.

"Have a drink before you go, Xiaomei-san."

"..."

Homura Akemi looked at the smiling Tomoe Mami silently, then took the tea and drank it all.

"Black tea tastes better if you drink it slowly." Mami nodded with satisfaction, retracted her arm and watched Homura Akemi leave.

She had no intention of making things difficult for Homura Akemi, but simply wanted to see what choice this junior would make, but it was beyond her expectations.

I thought this arrogant-looking junior would simply refuse and leave, but I didn't expect him to actually take it and drink it.

"Witch's Night?" Looking at the back of Homura Akemi as she left, Mami narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself.

As time passed, this reincarnation was gradually coming to an end. During this period, Homura Akemi did not look for other people, but watched all the changes.

Although Homura Akemi tried her best to hunt Kyubey, Kyubey still found a loophole for her. When Homura Akemi was fighting a witch, she lured Sayaka into becoming a magical girl. However, this time, because of Homura Akemi's help, Mami Tomoe did not encounter any problems and survived to the end.

Sayaka, Madoka's best friend, did not hide her becoming a magical girl from Madoka. However, because of what Homura Akemi had said before and because Madoka did not have any particular wishes that she wanted to fulfill, she did not become a magical girl with Sayaka.

In the following time, because of Sayaka's personality, after learning that she was no longer human, she did not go to confess her childhood sweetheart, but was backstabbed by her friends instead.

Under such circumstances, Sayaka's mood gradually became depressed. Finally, after fighting the witch many times without caring about her own injuries, the Soul Gem was completely turbid.

However, this time she didn't have time to transform into a witch, and Bai appeared and took her away. In the eyes of others, Sayaka was killed by the witch because of her lack of magic power.

Although Homura Akemi felt sorry about this, she did not stop hunting witches. Instead, she accelerated her pace and told Madoka how dangerous it was to become a magical girl.

Madoka felt very sad when she learned about Sayaka's accident, but she also listened to Homura Akemi's words and temporarily stopped considering becoming a magical girl.

Then, in order to prevent accidents from happening again, Homura Akemi stopped hunting witches and stayed by Madoka's side, protecting her without her noticing her, until the Witch Night arrived.

The sky was filled with dust again. Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe stood side by side and looked at the witch flying in the sky. They looked at each other, and their magical girl costumes appeared at the same time, and then they flew into the sky.

Mami Tomoe's flintlock rifle kept firing, and ribbons flew from all directions trying to entangle the witch. Homura Akemi also paused time and took out heavy weapons such as bazookas found in the armory to attack the witch.

However, it had no effect at all. A barrier seemed to appear around the witch, blocking all the attacks from the two men. Then, as if enraged by the two men, the witch sent rubble from the broken high-rise buildings flying towards them.

However, they were easily dodged by the two men. They stepped lightly and were about to attack again, but they heard the witch's giggling.

Homura Akemi didn't understand what was happening. Just as she was about to fly up again, Mami Tomoe beside her suddenly fell down.

Homura Akemi's face changed, and she immediately paused time and ran to Mami. After a quick observation, she found that Mami had lost consciousness. Then she looked at Mami's forehead and found that the soul gem that had been purified by the Seed of Sorrow had become completely black.

"How could this happen?!" Homura Akemi shouted in surprise.

Before they arrived, they had used the Seed of Sorrow to purify the Soul Gem, in order to prevent the magic power from not keeping up during the battle. However, one Seed of Sorrow could not completely purify the Soul Gem, so they used up all the Seeds of Sorrow they had stored for a long time. What happened now was completely beyond Homura Akemi's expectations.

Watching Mami Tomoe's face becoming increasingly ferocious, Homura Akemi fell silent, raised her pistol, and aimed it at Mami Tomoe's Soul Gem.

"Feel sorry..."

"Bang!" With the sound of a gunshot, the soul gem on Mami Tomoe's forehead shattered.

Sighing in her heart, Homura Akemi was not too sad. She had experienced such things several times.

Her gaze shifted back to the witch in the sky. After a short rest, Homura Akemi was ready to continue fighting, but a pink arrow that passed by her made her stop.

Suddenly looking back, I found that Kyubey had appeared next to Madoka, and Madoka was now dressed as the magical girl in my memory.

As expected of Madoka, she always wears the same clothes.

Seeing that Madoka had transformed into a magical girl, Homura Akemi stopped what she was doing and looked at Madoka silently.

Madoka also noticed Homura's look, smiled apologetically at her, and then her eyes turned to the witch in the sky.

What happened next was just as Homura Akemi had seen many times. Madoka easily defeated the witch, resolved Witch Night, and then the Soul Gem became turbid.

He watched Xiaoyuan lying on the ground quietly, and then Bai appeared and took Xiaoyuan away. He glanced at her and then disappeared.

He fired a shot and killed the Kyubey not far away. The gears on the shield on the back of his hand turned again, and Homura Akemi's figure disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 16: The End of Reincarnation

"Ah, another Madoka."

In Bai's personal space, a blue-haired cat was sitting there eating. When it saw Bai coming back with a pink figure in his arms, it couldn't help but sigh.

The blue-haired girl was none other than Sayaka, the one who was resurrected by Shiro in the previous world, or should be called Asuka now.

In the previous world, after Bai resurrected Sayaka and changed the status of Mami and Anzu, he did not let them go out immediately, but let them return to the real world when things were basically over.

During that period, Sayaka was almost always with Madoka, and it was unclear what they talked about, but Sayaka suddenly proposed to go with her.

Bai was a little surprised, but after confirming it again and again, he agreed.

However, considering her own uniqueness, she probably will meet herself from other worlds in the future. In addition, Sayaka, who decided to leave with Bai, is no longer obsessed with the past, so she wants to change her name.

At that time, Bai was quite interested and suggested the name "Shuang", but was instantly rejected by Sayaka.

Seeing that Bai didn't want to think of a name for herself, Sayaka could only think of one on her own.

She had decided to say goodbye to the past and look to the future, so she named herself Asuka. Although Bai complained that this name was very common, Sayaka was very satisfied with the name at that time, so she decided to use this name, Miki Asuka.

"It looks like Homura Akemi has experienced a new world. Bai, don't you feel sad when you see the look on Homura Akemi's face?" Asuka put down the fruit in her hand and came to Madoka, who had been put on the ground by Bai. She reached out and poked Madoka's cheek, then raised her head and asked Bai.

After chatting with Madoka from the first world for a while, Asuka also learned from her that Haku had been constantly traveling through the worlds for Homura Akemi. Although she didn't know what Haku's purpose was, he definitely had no intention of harming her. In Asuka's opinion, it was more like training, though the training methods were rather harsh.

"Of course I feel bad, but for what's coming next, I don't have any better solution." Reaching out to dispel Asuka's hand that kept poking Madoka's cheek, Bai sat down beside Madoka. While helping Madoka recover, he chatted with Asuka.

Bai still doesn't know much about the cause and effect of this world, or even if he does, he can't do much about it.

His purpose is to make Madoka become a god so that he can observe what the soul of a god is. The condition for Madoka to become a god is that she must have sufficient cause and effect when she becomes a magical girl.

Although Bai had signed a contract with Madoka before, he did not directly touch Madoka's cause and effect, but let it continue to accumulate. When the time is right, Bai can pick the fruit directly.

This world is not that big, or in Bai's opinion, this world is very small. Even though there are countless parallel worlds, the main cause and effect are still concentrated on the earth and the incubator race.

Madoka's karma couldn't be changed for the time being, or rather, the karma of the five members was gradually connected, but it was still centered around Madoka and Homura. As for the Hatchers, in the previous world, Shiro had deliberately captured a Kyubey and followed the memories in its mind to find their home.

However, when they first saw Bai's face, the Incubators took the lead in attacking, and then Bai took some time to destroy the Incubators' hometown.

After taking it down, Bai was still wondering if it would trigger any causal lines, but after seeing that the causal lines did not change much, Bai was relieved. And because Homura Akemi had already left that world, Bai also took a little time to eliminate all the Kyubeys on the entire Earth.

He was watching everything Homura Akemi did in the real world. He saved Sayaka in this world. The shattering of Mami Tomoe's Soul Gem was an illusion, as it was replaced by Haku. Now that Madoka is in his hands and there is no problem with Kyoko, Haku is ready to leave this world.

In fact, if you want speed and efficiency, there is no need to save Sayaka, Mami and the others. In Bai's plan, someone will rescue them in the end anyway.

However, because the contract he signed with Homura at that time was to save the five of them, Bai went to every world to save them. After all, he still has a strong sense of contract.

"Yeah, it's healed." Looking at the little circle that had been cured by him but was still in a sleeping state, he directly put the little circle into the space that was originally a ring. Later, because the number of little circles would increase, it was specially changed into the shape of a pendant. The space inside was also several times larger than the ring.

Currently, all the Xiaoyuan from several worlds are in it, and the original Xiaoyuan, the one with whom he had a previous contract, is like a little housekeeper, managing some creatures with weak intelligence created by Bai, and letting them do some miscellaneous things.

Seeing her new self appear in front of her, Xiaoyuan looked up at the sky, then shook her head and carried her still sleeping self back into the house.

After Bai put Mami and Sayaka back in this world and modified their memories, Bai also left this world.

Not too many parts were changed, just to prevent them from remembering what happened on that crucial day for them.
