Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"You don't believe the truth I told you, but it also didn't tell you that it was a trouble that Asami couldn't handle. From beginning to end, what proposal did it make for your wish?"

Sayaka sighed, then looked at Kamijou, whose hand was being held by Shixing.

"So, as the one who proposed the wish, your situation is the same as Kyousuke's. If I can heal you, I can also heal Kyousuke-kun, right?"

"Yes, let's try it."

Zhixing extended the hand that was holding Kamijou's right hand to Sayaka, signaling her to come over for treatment.

"Wait, don't come near me! Sayaka Miki!"

Just when Sayaka thought she had found a solution to Kamijou Kyousuke's problem and was planning to use her magic power to heal Kamijou without any worries.

Kamijou's resistance and the sense of distance when calling her by her full name made Sayaka stop again.

Zhi Xing frowned as he looked at Kamijou, who was struggling to break free from his grip, and then heard Kamijou's tearful accusation:

"Really? Didn't you say you were going to give me an explanation? Why did you say something I didn't know, and then you planned to heal my hand with magic without me even saying anything?"

"Is that really a cure? Isn't it just a cover-up? Magic should be able to do that, right? Just like how I thought my hand was truly healed."

Zhixing waited a moment, but couldn't glean any useful information from Kamijou's words. So, he took Kamijou's hand, leaned his head closer, and continued his unfinished words from a distance where Kamijou could hear clearly:

"They say a numb hand from sitting is like another person's hand. You can control it, but it lacks a certain feeling."

"That's exactly what's happening with you right now. Unlike your legs, which are difficult to control and need to recover, you can control your hands perfectly, but because you don't feel any pain, it feels like watching special effects explode on you in a VR game. It feels fake, right?"

"But that kind of thing doesn't affect anything in itself. Daily life goes on as usual. What's really hard for you to accept is that you still have to play the violin with these hands, right?"

"Hey, Edogawa, what are you talking about?"

Zhi Xing ignored Sayaka's question, stretched out his palm towards Sayaka, and continued:

“Artists often have a strange problem, that is, their inspiration comes from themselves, so they cannot accept other people’s secondary creations or magical changes.”

"It should be the same for geniuses."

Zhixing stretched out his other hand and grabbed the hand that was still hiding on his stomach. Then, resisting Kamijou's strength, he paused for a moment and moved towards the direction where he imagined playing the violin.

Kamijou's eyes revealed a fear even greater than the one he'd seen on his own hand. He struggled harder, shouting for him to stop.

However, Shimoyuki was using all his strength just to stop Kamijou's struggle, and he didn't even pay any attention to Kamijou. Sayaka, who should have been able to stop Shimoyuki, was now looking at her own flashing Soul Gem and turned towards the rooftop blocked by the railing.

Although Kamijou already had the strength of an adult as a junior high school student, his rehabilitation training was all on his legs, and as a musician, he was unable to break free from the forceful control of Jixing and was forced into a position where he could play the violin.

As the hand that was about to pull the string gently moved, it was as if the string called reason was being pulled apart by the string of paper. A fresh witch's kiss, along with Kamijou's stagnant struggle, slowly appeared on Kamijou's neck.

"Hey, it seems like a familiar is approaching this way, Conan, quickly take Kyousuke..."

Sayaka was distracted for a moment only because she discovered the trace of the familiar. She never expected that when she turned around, she would see the Witch's Kiss emerging from Kamijou's neck.

Without Kamijou's restraint, Sayaka finally acted faster than her brain and rushed forward. Impulsively but rationally, she made a turn and separated Kazuyuki and Kamijou with one punch.

Without taking the time to see how far Kamijou was sent flying, Sayaka carefully picked up Kamijou who was falling backwards after losing Kamijou's support.

"Kyousuke-kun, are you okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let Edogawa come over. Hey, can you hear me, Kyousuke-kun?"

Zhi Xing, who had fallen not far away, did not get up immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked around. After finding that he was not surrounded by the barrier, he stood up and said:

"Hey, I'll leave that familiar or witch to you, but you have to be a little slow. I still have something to ask Kamijou."

When Sayaka heard the call from the paper merchant, she immediately became furious and shouted:

"Do you know what you're doing? Why are you doing this to Kyousuke?!"

"I know exactly what I'm doing. Right now, Kamijou is in your arms. You can heal his hand and foot injuries at any time if you want. But what are you doing now? You're not cleaning up the witch or familiar that cast the Witch's Kiss, and you're not treating Kamijou. Are you really considering Kamijou?"

After hearing what Shixing said, Sayaka finally came to her senses. She looked at Kamijou, who was leaning against her and seemed to be unconscious. From his sleepy face to his bulging arms, and then to his legs that were not straight enough after losing his crutches, her eyes fell on her hands.

"If I use magic, Kyousuke will be back to normal."

Sayaka's hand glowed blue, and she was about to touch Kamijou's hand. Even though Kamijou was still unconscious, Sayaka seemed to hear Kamijou's cry: "No! Don't come near me! Miki Sayaka!"

Sayaka's face was gloomy. She put away her hand that was casting the healing spell and slowly placed Kamijou on the ground. Then she turned around and jumped out of the rooftop. A magic circle appeared in the air and she disappeared into the magic circle.

Zhixing looked at Sayaka's choice, sighed, then covered the place where Sayaka punched him, neither light nor heavy, and walked to Kamijou's side.

Lifting Kamijou's head, Zhixing took another look at the direction he came from, confirming that even if Sayaka had entered the barrier, Saotome had not entered the rooftop. Now there were only Kamijou and himself on the entire rooftop.

Zhixing gently patted Kamijou's face, and after confirming that he could not wake him up, he took a deep breath, lifted Kamijou's head, lowered his own head, and then opened his mouth. The air in his mouth slowly floated out and touched Kamijou's neck.

Zhixing hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Kamijou's neck and whispered to the animated, GIF-like Witch's Kiss tattoo on his neck:

"Can you tell me what he's struggling with?"

After Zhixing finished speaking, he tilted his head and put his ear towards the Witch's Kiss, waiting for several years with every second feeling like an eternity.

The expected voice of Witch Night did not come out, but Kamijou's voice came out from the unconscious Kamijou.

"What price did I pay for this transaction? Is the music I play worthy of Sayaka's efforts for me?"

"I was clearly just imitating someone else's performance, why did you make such a big decision for me without saying a word? How should I face you and how can I repay you?"

"This responsibility is too heavy. I can't even play a light tune. If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred not to have my hand healed and returned to an ordinary life."

"If there's anyone who can restore everything to its original state, it's probably the man who told me the truth that day."

"The only thing that can counter a miracle is another miracle, right? If I just turn it into a problem that anyone can see, I can use another miracle to restore everything, right?"

After listening to Kamijou's story, Zhixing fell silent. He looked towards the direction of the magic circle that had disappeared in the sky and sighed.

"A favor greater than heaven, yet I cannot repay it, and it turns into hatred?"

Chapter 85: Privileges of Magical Girls

"So, the idea of ​​using despair to get adolescent boys to reveal their true thoughts is indeed feasible. And the fact that I wasn't kissed by the witch means that it wasn't a witch. Even so, the witch's kiss is powerful enough to actually be used for communication."

Looking at the empty sky, Zhixing verified the situation that had not been mentioned in the previous documents.

After all, Zhi Xing will lose his mind when he is hit by the Witch's Kiss, and when he wakes up, he will also lose the opportunity to communicate with the Witch's Kiss. ​​How can he ask the same question?

Of course it was a witch's kiss to someone else. Although it was not explained, Zhixing still guessed it and verified it.

"So, I guessed wrong?"

Zhixing looked at the hands that were spread out on both sides due to coma. The valley on the upper part that was obviously scratched by the hands was still clearly visible, but the other hand was also obviously hidden, but there was nothing in it. It seemed to prove that Kamijou did not deliberately hurt himself because of the ownership of these hands.

"If he wasn't desperate to play the violin with these hands, considering what he just said, that he wanted to use his hands to save Sayaka's life."

"My act of forcing him to strike a pose just now was actually just to explain to Kamijou that I had no other options except for Sayaka's treatment, and that I had no choice but to accept reality. So, after refusing Sayaka's treatment, I felt hopeless, didn't I?"

"Really? I'm much stronger than I thought. At least I'm stronger than my own dreams."

After Zhixing made his summary without being disturbed by anyone, he didn't say a few words when a distortion was heard in the sky. Sayaka quietly stood on the railing of the rooftop.

He turned to face the direction of the paper line, then jumped over with a light leap.

At the same time, Kamijou beside him made a sound as if he had just woken up.

Sayaka noticed Kamijou's movements keenly, and her action of approaching Kazuyoshi to greet him suddenly stopped. She immediately cancelled her magical girl transformation, causing her body to pause in mid-air, and then landed steadily a few steps away.

Zhixing picked up Kamijou's head and helped him up steadily, then took his arm and moved Kamijou to sit on the stone platform again.

"I...what just happened?"

"You were just in deep danger, and Sayaka rescued you in time. Now you owe Sayaka two lives."

"You did this on purpose! Why did you do this? Don't you know that Kyousuke-kun will be in danger?!"

Sayaka said angrily from a distance.

It was just a familiar, so of course Sayaka wouldn't feel any danger, but the Witch's Kiss was another matter.

Unlike when he was with Hitomi, Kamijou was protected by Sayaka's wish, so he shouldn't have to worry about being targeted by the witch when he was not around.

But the fact is that there is no such thing as immunity, it is just a different resistance to distance.

By the way, this is what Sayaka asked Kyubey after she made the wish because she was worried about Kamijou because the Rose Witch had swept up a large number of innocent people. As for what Kyubey answered, Shixing could neither see nor hear it.

"I did this because I couldn't hear Kamijou's true feelings. I didn't know what his true feelings were, and how to solve the problem."

"And it didn't have to get to this point. If you only thought about it, you could know what Kamijou was thinking in a split second, right, Magical Girl Miki Sayaka?"

Kamijou, who had been lowering his head to think of a solution, was stunned when he heard that he might have said something he shouldn't have said while he was unconscious. He slowly raised his head and looked at Sayaka.

"No, I didn't. Don't think so badly of me. I wouldn't just casually communicate telepathically with others."

Sayaka felt a little awkward when facing Kamijou's gaze, and her voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.

"I know that your insistence definitely didn't involve trying to pry into Kamijou's mind. Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me here even though you clearly wanted to help him. After all, Kamijou's purpose was to see me."

Then the paper trader changed the subject and said:

"But, no matter how persistent you are, you can't deny that as long as you want, you can casually establish telepathy with ordinary people within your perception range. Moreover, you don't need to make any sound, but you can still hear the other person's thoughts."

As soon as he said this, Kamijou's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately looked at Sayaka with hopeful eyes, hoping that Sayaka could read his thoughts at this time and peek into the thoughts of the person next to him.

But Shixing leaned closer to Kamijou and said:

"Of course, only people other than me can hear the inner voices, so don't try to target me. You're being too obvious. You just made me misjudge your thoughts."

"Anyway, you already know this, right? That's why you mentioned the fact that magical girls can read minds, just because you wanted me to not have to behave like that again."

Kamijou spoke calmly, his hands casually crossed, and he tilted his head to look at the paper.

"Well, I can tell you clearly that if you want Sayaka to return to her normal lifespan and identity, the only way is to sacrifice someone. Of course, it's not you, me, or her. Instead, we need to make a wish in the same way, and trade a miracle to overwrite the current transaction and bear the price Sayaka has to pay."

"Don't listen to Conan's nonsense. I clearly have far greater strength than ordinary people, and I can protect myself and others in danger. I clearly live longer than others. Don't believe his alarmist words."

"Yes, a power far greater than that of an ordinary person, and more frequent battles where one faces life and death than an ordinary person."

“If you walk by the river often, how can you avoid getting your shoes wet?”

Zhixing spoke slang unscrupulously, relying on his translation skills. Although he didn't know what it would be translated into, as long as the meaning was conveyed, it was fine.

Sayaka really wanted to say that with the current magical girl team, nothing would happen at all, but when she thought about the paper line in front of her that came from the future, she didn't dare to make a simple judgment.

Kamijou was the first to speak.

"Can't I refuse this deal?"

"The leader of the cathedral outside the city thought the same thing, so his entire family, except for the magical girl, was wiped out."

The paper pointed to a certain direction outside the city, which was an abandoned cathedral that was rare in the city. The paper had confirmed the location long before Asami's family had access to the Internet. Science could not calculate Sayaka's location from the walking distance from afternoon to dusk, and the church itself was not where Anzi would live, because it had no value in exploration.

But after all, he was bored, so he wrote down the approximate location of the church on paper, which came in handy now.

"Was it the church fire a year ago?"

"There shouldn't be any other churches. I won't go into details. Just know this: Sayaka really helped heal these hands. So for the next week, don't let Sayaka get close to you. At least don't let anything happen to Sayaka this week. It's better to believe it than not. Do you understand?"

"Well, I've been keeping my distance, but you've been trying to ignore what you said. Do you really want to help Sayaka?"

"Well, I guess I'm a special one, so I'm not affected."

“People always think they are the most special one, but reality tells us that we have never been that special.”

Kamijou looked at Sayaka, who had always been able to keep up with him in music knowledge, and suddenly became a magical girl who could use magic that he could not understand at all. For a moment, he didn't know whether to envy her or worry about Sayaka.

"You're such a smart kid, I've long understood the saying that there's nothing new under the sun. But I'm special. You can't compare to me, just like you're special in the eyes of some people."

Zhi Xing stretched out his right hand and held it horizontally before his eyes. He looked at his empty arm as if checking a watch and said:

"Alright, we've already wasted a lot of time. Now that Kamijou's issues are basically dealt with, do you have any questions? If not, we should adjourn the meeting. You still need to go home."

Kamijou fell silent because he now had no way to solve Sayaka's problem.

Sayaka also fell silent. Although she didn't hear Kyosuke's true words, it was obvious that Kamijou, under the influence of Kazuyoshi, did not intend to have much contact with her. If she wanted to get close to Kamijou now, it would make Kamijou embarrassed. Although the thought of this would make Kazuyoshi even more annoyed, it was not a good idea to get angry in front of Kamijou.

Zhihang waited for a while, and when he saw that the atmosphere had cooled down, he took the initiative to stand up and said:

"Since you still want to stay here, I won't disturb your world of two. I'll leave first."

I stood up and walked towards the exit. When I passed Sayaka, she suddenly stretched out her hand and whispered:

"I'll remember that you caused Kyousuke to be infected with the Witch's Kiss. ​​If Kyousuke has any problems because of this, I won't show mercy like I did before."

Zhi Xing paused as he looked at the hand that was blocking him. He then looked at the Soul Gem that had transformed back into a portable ring and asked,

"If the messenger of the wish is not affected by the Witch's Kiss, then a completely subjective tragedy will occur. Do you want to let Kyoko's experience repeat itself on Kamijou? I don't know what kind of despair Kamijou must have felt before this to do such a thing. If you don't trigger the despair in your heart, will you be able to do it in time?"

After saying that, Zhixing took a step sideways and walked out from Sayaka's obstruction.

This time, without any obstruction, Zhi Xing walked smoothly to the corner of the rooftop entrance, and then saw Saotome-sensei, who had been standing in the stairwell for who knows how long. She paused unconsciously, then turned around and shouted to the two of them:

"As an exception today, you're allowed to have some contact. Hurry and clean up the things Kamijou made for the performance, so as not to delay your school tomorrow!"

After Zhixing finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Saotome who was looking at him and said:
