I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Xingzi stared blankly at her familiar father, yet he wasn't familiar. Her body, strong enough to scale walls and climb rooftops, had been easily crushed to the ground by the force exerted by her ordinary father. Her enhanced form now seemed pale and powerless.

Xingzi didn't understand why her father was so angry. The doctrine her father preached was to save people, and she herself was also saving people. Shouldn't it be better to combine the two?

Xingzi was a little confused, but seeing her father's appearance, she didn't have time to think too much, so she explained to her father what she had done.

"Father, witches do exist, but normal people can't see them. I became a magical girl because I signed a contract with a creature called Kyubey. I need to kill witches, and I didn't do anything else."

Xingzi thought she could get her father's forgiveness, but what she was greeted with was the man's cold gaze.

"Heh...heh...you still dare to say that, witch? Ordinary people can't see it? I think you are the witch, right? Only the demons in hell would sign a contract with humans. My Lord would never do such a thing. You have signed a contract with an unknown creature. Aren't you more like a witch?"

"If you were simply tricked by the devil into signing the contract, my Lord could forgive your ignorance. However, you did something that even I cannot forgive!"

The man's expression became even more cold and ferocious, as if he wanted to eat Xingzi, his own daughter, alive.

"You actually fulfilled the devil's contract in the name of my Lord. Even if my Lord, in His great mercy, would forgive you for what you did, I will not forgive you!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, left Xingzi's side, came to the front of the statue of the god he believed in, and knelt down with a "thump".

"My Lord, please forgive my mistakes. I failed to take good care of her, allowing her to use your name to commit evil deeds. I bear the responsibility for the slander I caused you. I once again affirm your forgiveness of my sins."

The man kept saying these words while performing some actions in line with his sect's beliefs with his hands, completely ignoring the reactions of the other people.

Xingzi looked at her father's back blankly, still not understanding what went wrong.

"Did I do something wrong? But witches do exist, Kyubey isn't a demon, and I'm just saving people. Isn't saving others what my father longs for? Then why..."

While Xingzi was still thinking, she suddenly saw her father, who was kneeling there, suddenly picked up a knife and stabbed himself.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and Xingzi suddenly stood up and instantly came to the man's side and snatched the knife from his hand.

"Father, what are you doing?"

The arm holding the knife was placed behind her back, and Xingzi took two steps back, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"What are you doing?!" The man suddenly turned around and yelled at Xingzi angrily.

"Father, I saw that you seemed like... like you were stabbing yourself, so I..." Xingzi hurriedly explained, but was met with the man's cold gaze.

"I am atoning for my sins to my Lord. Why are you trying to stop me?"

"You don't have to do anything on yourself to atone for your sins. If you really can't... come at me. I'm the one who did these things, right?" Xingzi closed her eyes and handed the knife to the man, but pointed the tip of the knife at herself.

Looking at Xingzi's appearance, the man sneered and his expression returned to calm.

"Judging witches is my lord's business. I am not qualified to do that."

The man seemed to understand something. Instead of taking the knife from Xingzi's hand, he stood up and walked towards his room.

Hearing the man getting up, Xingzi opened her eyes and checked, only to find that the man had left.

After standing there in silence for a moment, Xingzi turned to look at her sisters and forced a smile, "Well, it's okay, I will take good care of father..."

As the sky grew darker, Xingzi lay on the bed in her room. Noticing that there was no sound coming from her father's room, she relaxed a little.

Thinking back on what happened today, Xingzi couldn't help but feel confused.

What should I do?

As I thought about it, I gradually felt sleepy. Before I closed my eyes, two figures suddenly appeared in my mind.

Mitakihara?

Chapter 25: Their respective calculations

While Xingzi was falling asleep, the people on Bai's side had also finished packing.

Since Xiao Zhu just came today, Ah and Mami slept together, while Bai was sitting cross-legged on the bed in his room at this moment. His consciousness entered the space inside his body and he was studying something.

Suddenly, he felt a figure coming in from the window, and Bai stopped what he was doing and regained consciousness.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a Kyubey standing in front of me.

"Kyubi? What are you doing here?"

Bai was a little confused. The Incubators should be able to see that he didn't have any good feelings towards them, and could even guess that he would attack them at any time.

If that's the case, why would he let Kyubey appear in front of him? It's obviously not like he's looking for death, right?

"Bai, we've conducted some research on your energy. Although we can't understand its composition, we can analyze that it has very powerful properties. If the energy within it—no, should I say, the energy within your body—can be transformed, it will have a huge impact on the entire universe."

Kyubey stared at Bai with his two red eyes and said something incomprehensible.

However, Bai heard a bad premonition from these words and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"so what?"

Kyubey took a light step forward and jumped onto Shiro's bed.

"So, sign a contract with me and become a magical girl. If it were you, the energy you release would surely make a great contribution to the entire universe."

Hearing Kyubey's words, Bai's face, which was squinting with eyes, suddenly twitched. He gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had returned to calm.

"I am male."

"It's okay. Our conversion device only determines that girls in their secondary sexual characteristics period can produce the most energy. It doesn't mean that other humans can't. And you are special."

"Your vital signs are so vast that we can't even estimate the amount of energy you have in your body. Furthermore, we've observed the weapons you gave Mami, and they're not of any kind found in this world. Therefore, we suspect you're not human, but a species from another planet."

"Since we are all life in the universe, isn't it natural for us to contribute to it? And you don't have to worry about our equipment not working on you. We have registered all the races in the universe and have samples. No matter what race you are, you can use it."

"So, sign a contract with me."

Baimian looked at the Kyubey in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes flickering and his mind constantly thinking.

Didn't I expect the Incubator to care so much about me? I thought I'd given up on researching anything. And the magical girl transformation device...

Bai glanced at what he had just been studying in his consciousness space, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Kyubi, have you forgotten something?"

Kyubey tilted his head and looked at Bai in confusion.

"During this period of time, not only you have been studying me, I have also been studying you." Bai said softly, and a ball of white light appeared in his hand.

"Want to feel what this is?"

Shiro held the ball of light forward slightly, and Kyubey extended a claw to touch it.

"This is it!" As soon as the contact was made, Kyubey's calm voice that had remained unchanged for thousands of years suddenly changed, and he actually felt surprised.

"Why do you have this thing?"

Hearing Kyubey's surprised words, a playful look appeared in Bai's eyes.

"Why, does it look familiar? This is your technique, I just made some minor improvements."

In Bai's hand is the energy collection device that the Incubators use to transform the girl into a magical girl and then into a witch.

However, unlike the incubators which can only collect negative emotions and convert them into energy, the one developed by Bai can collect all emotions and convert them into energy. It can even replace the concept of emotion with anything else.

White energy itself has the characteristic of containing everything. After understanding the incubators' emotional transformation techniques, it can naturally be imitated, and even better than theirs.

As for making a wish, it is nothing more than granting similar abilities based on that wish. Of course, whether it is satisfied or not and the strength of the ability are always controlled by Bai.

Moreover, if a wish is made through Bai's device, the energy generated will eventually return to Bai, or be stored in this device to build the corresponding abilities for other girls to make wishes.

As to whether Kyubey noticed these changes, Bai was not sure, but at least he definitely discovered the function of this device.

"Can you give us this device? It will make energy collection much more convenient."

As the surprised sound passed, Kyubey regained his composure. It was unclear whether it was because their race had no emotions, but they recovered very quickly.

"You guys are a little too imaginative." With a flip of his hand, Bai put the device away.

This device is not yet fully perfected. Bai plans to make it into something with a similar concept so that it can be useful when Madoka transforms. Although it is not a big deal to make another one, it is better not to do it if possible.

"Then are you planning to sign contracts with those girls as well?" Kyubey asked doubtfully. Since Bai had created this device and was unwilling to contribute it, why was he showing it to it specifically?

"Not yet, I'll try it later." Bai shook his head, temporarily denying Kyubey's statement.

Since the technology was learned from the incubator, although it has been improved by myself and there is no problem with energy collection, there is still the disadvantage of extracting the soul to form a soul gem. When Bai has modified it to the point where he can achieve his goal without extracting the soul, he will find someone to try it.

"In that case, how about we cooperate? As a human being, you can persuade humans better than me. I will find those qualified girls and then let you sign the contract." Kyubey suddenly talked about cooperation, which surprised Bai.

But then Bai realized that Kyubey didn't fully understand his device. He only knew that the method of collecting energy had changed, and he didn't know that the energy generated by his device would only be stored in him.

In that case...

Bai's eyes flickered, and he had already made a plan.

"Of course, but I'll leave it to you for the time being. My device still needs some improvement."

In the following time, as long as Kyubey doesn't turn into a witch right after signing the contract, Bai will be able to rescue her, so there is no problem in letting Kyubey sign a few contracts. Moreover, even if the magical girl is far away, she will return to her original state after the plan succeeds.

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll leave a Kyubey with you. Feel free to contact us once your device is complete."

Kyubey agreed naturally and did not suspect that Bai was deceiving them. After all, this thing was the crystallization of the wisdom of their entire race. If it could be studied so easily, they would probably suspect that there were races far superior to them in this universe.

"Yes, sure." Bai nodded slightly, agreeing with their approach.

After the two finished discussing, Kyubey remained silent, and Bai entered the consciousness space again to continue improving the device.

Chapter 26 Strange Phenomenon

Weirdly shaped bodies, messy graffiti, and strange creatures running around, holding weapons, furniture, or some daily necessities in their hands, surrounding the strange creature in the middle that seems to have some human characteristics.

This scene was like an absurd scene of a child having a nightmare while sleeping, but it was now unfolding in front of Mami.

"Is this the witch?" Mami's face was serious as she muttered to herself as she looked at the absurd scene in front of her.

"Yes, but she just became a witch not long ago, so it hasn't expanded yet." Kyubey on the side suddenly spoke.

Kyubey brought Mami to find this witch in order to give Mami some training.

Mami, whose body was transformed and given abilities by Bai, could not sense the abilities of witches, or she had never seen a witch before, so she naturally could not sense it. So Kyubey took Mami out to find some witches to practice.

However, even though he had given Mami Tomoe more powerful abilities than before, Bai still took some precautions and left some things on Mami Tomoe so that Bai could feel it immediately when there was a problem.

And there is no need to worry about Kyubey's problem now. For Kyubey, Bai is willing to help it transform into a magical girl, so it naturally has to help Bai do something.

So Bai let this Kyubey follow Mami to deal with some witches or rescue other magical girls.

Although Bai can save those magical girls who have transformed into witches, there is no need to do so anymore.

Kyubey is constantly transforming magical girls all over the world. Although Bai can solve this situation once and for all, it will affect subsequent plans, so he does not intend to do it.

Ever since Mami knew that witches were transformed from magical girls, she no longer had any good feelings towards Kyubey. However, since it was Shiro's request and Mami had never seen a magical girl transformed in front of her, her aversion to Kyubey was not that strong, so she agreed.

The witch in front of him was the one Kyubey chose for Mami, not because she was easy, but because she was closer.

"Although I don't know who you were originally, but now you have become a witch who will harm others, so I can't let you go. So, I'm sorry." Mami took a deep breath, looked at the witch in front of her who was making strange noises, and a flintlock appeared in her hand.

Although Bai has placed a lot of high-tech weapons in Mami's space, Mami does not plan to use them now. Instead, she uses the ability of ribbon to weave a flintlock rifle that she is quite familiar with.

After all, judging from the appearance of the weapons Bai gave her, they must be very powerful. If used directly, they would probably not have any training effect, although Bai didn't intend to let Mami rely on these witches for training.

If you want Mami to practice fighting skills, it would be better if they are also human, but right now Madoka and Asuka are not suitable to meet Mami, so they can only find some witches first.

He picked up the flintlock with one hand and pointed it at the witch, and countless ribbons flew out and wrapped around the witch.

The witch seemed to see the ribbon flying towards her, and stretched out an arm-like limb to try to intercept it, but the ribbon easily dodged it and then extended along the outstretched arm to her body.

Seeing that the witch had been entangled, Mami jumped lightly and came to the side of the witch's arm.

After a few gunshots, several more holes appeared on the witch's arm, but before she could be happy, the extra holes were instantly filled up, and she broke free from the ribbon and swung towards Mami.

Mami casually threw away the flintlock in her hand and jumped back in the air to avoid the witch's attack. At the same time, multiple flintlocks appeared beside her.

As Mami swung her arm, the sound of gunfire rang out instantly, and the sound was continuous for a while.

Countless bullets pierced through the witch's body, and more and more holes appeared on her body. Although she had the ability to repair herself, she could never keep up with the speed at which Mami created wounds, and she eventually fell to the ground in a hail of bullets.

With a loud bang as the witch fell to the ground, her strange figure disappeared, and the absurd space around her also dissipated.

Looking at the black object that appeared when the witch disappeared, Mami slowly walked forward and picked it up.

"What is this?" Mami looked at this thing in confusion. It seemed to have emerged from the witch's body.

"It is the seed of lamentation."

Kyubey suddenly jumped onto Mami's shoulder and explained to her.

"The magical girl's use of magic will pollute the Soul Gem. The Sorrow Seeds dropped by the witch after defeating her can be used to purify the Soul Gem. However, it will be of no use to you."
