Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

To be honest, she has lost interest in this country now ruled by the Holy See, and her heart is even calmer.

However, this little guy from another world made her heart beat again.

The night can also be colorful, even more colorful than the day. Such a world is simply the favorite of vampires.

It has never been like this before. Apart from the great war long ago, Remlia has nothing else that interests her. It must be said that this world is too boring.

She is not a nerd like Patchouli, who would live a boring life as long as she has books and research. That would be too boring.

"Yes, here people can get an education, they can date freely, they can work and earn money during the day, and after get off work they can go to the movies, sing with friends at KTV, or go to the park for a walk and exercise, or..."

The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, but Patchouli was a little unhappy.

Remlia, who was his friend, was chatting enthusiastically with the guy whom he somewhat disliked. Anyone would feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn't close the soul network interface and silently peeked into the conversation between the two to prevent this sudden intruder from causing any danger; hum, she was just worried that Remlia was deceived by this guy, she was not interested in these so-called scientific knowledge.

However, the two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and the clash of their worldviews became more and more intense. Patchouli sensed from the amount of information she glimpsed that this knowledge could have a huge impact and help on her own research and the advancement of magic.

Coupled with one's own thirst for knowledge.

Although she frowned and was a little conflicted, she finally... couldn't help but speak out.

Personal emotions can be put aside, but no one can compare to Patchouli's thirst for knowledge.

"Is it really that amazing? All those things you said were built by ordinary people? Although I think the development of human race is the general trend, this is beyond my imagination. Creation is indeed the productive force of progress. - Patchouli Noreki"

"Ah... old friend, you're here! I thought you were reading those endless books or conducting endless experiments, but I didn't expect you to be interested in what this food has to say. - Remlia Scarlet"

"Knowledge is endless. I will always give it time and patience. It is the food of witches and the cornerstone of magic development. - Patchouli Noreki"

Although part of the reason is not this, there is no need to talk about such things.

Kato Megumi also responded well to Patchouli's voice.

She quickly thanked.

"Ah... Miss Witch, you're here! I haven't thanked you for your help yet. If it weren't for that theory from before, I wouldn't be a magician now. - Kato Megumi"

"What theory? --Pachuli Noreki"

Patchouli wondered.

"It's the introductory theory of magic that I posted before, about the opening of the door of truth and contact... - Kato Megumi."

"…——Pachuli Noreki"

"You didn't really use that theory? That introductory knowledge is just theoretical. I haven't tried it. Did you succeed? But even so, you can't be considered an introductory student. You can only be considered an apprentice. You can't even learn magic. - Patchouli Noreki"

Patchouli didn't expect that someone would actually experiment with that new school that hadn't been perfected yet. You know, there are deep gaps between magicians, and each type conflicts with each other, and there are strong barriers.

The spells of many schools conflict with each other, just like black and white cannot be combined.

In order to solve these problems, Patchouli sorted out and explored this new school of magic bit by bit based on the inherited knowledge and her own experience.

I didn't expect that someone actually tried it and succeeded.

She was slightly surprised, and her impression of the girl in front of her named Kato Megumi also improved a lot.

Although as a witch she still had no good impression of humans, she still had a slightly better impression of the guy in front of her.

In response to this, Patchouli's attitude also changed slightly, and she even kindly reminded the other party of some misconceptions.

"Although I haven't tested this theory, I predict that 99% of the time it will work. It's just a basic introduction. Although you succeeded, you are far from being a magician. At most, you have touched this field and your body is much better than that of ordinary people. You are a so-called extraordinary person - Patchouli Noreki."

"Any power, whether it is magic, vampires, werewolves, or the knights of the Church, can be divided into three major stages: extraordinary, extraordinary, and transcendent. Each major stage is divided into countless small stages - Patchouli Noreki"

"Extraordinary means having power beyond that of ordinary people. Your existence is separated from that of ordinary people, and you are no longer an ordinary person. Extraordinary means that your power is extraordinary and will have a certain impact on the world. And transcendence means transcending the world, which is another matter. Now you are just about to enter the extraordinary stage, and your body is several times stronger than that of ordinary people. This is nothing. Don't be arrogant... - Patchouli Noreki"

"Ah, my old friend Patchouli has started preaching again. She is such a doctrinaire - Remlia Scarlet."

Patchouli blushed a little after hearing what Remlia said.

"I just don't want this guy to go astray. After all, he is entering the new school based on the one I compiled, so it is necessary to observe him as an experimental subject. - Patchouli Noreki"

In response to Patchouli's reply, Kato Megumi did not feel any resentment because of the word "experiment". Instead, she replied with a good attitude.

"Yes, I am also very grateful to Miss Witch... If it weren't for Miss Witch's theory, I wouldn't be able to step into the extraordinary. Thank you very much - Kato Megumi."

Patchouli, who was reading a book in the library, stopped turning the pages and snorted.

"It's still a "good" human race... much better than those fools under the protection of the Church."

However, she was really curious about the so-called scientific knowledge of the human race. If she combined it with her own heritage, would she be able to reach a higher level?

Patchouli thought so.

At this moment, the other party suddenly sent a message, which made Patchouli suddenly curious.

"It's very troublesome, Miss Witch, but I want to ask, is there any solution to the world cycle? - Kato Megumi"

Volume 15: Chapter 1 Chapter The Change of the World ()

It was raining heavily, and the big raindrops hit the windows like hail, making a rattling sound.

Kato Megumi sat absent-mindedly in the classroom, looking towards the playground outside the window, but her eyes were not focused there, and she was obviously in a daze.

Because she was still recalling the witch lady's guess and thinking of her parents at home, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

The world never leaves her time to think, and accidents always come so suddenly.

Evening study is supposed to be the time for students to study on their own, and the classroom is quiet.

clap clap-

The silence of the classroom was broken by the clapping sound of the teacher's hands.

"Okay, students, put down your pens and what you are doing. The school has sent out a notice and we need to inform you of something."

The teacher's sudden remarks attracted everyone's attention, and Kato Megumi was also brought out of her thoughts.

"Ahem, ahem, it's like this. For some unknown reason, earthquakes have occurred frequently in recent days, and the weather has been unpredictable. Sometimes it's raining heavily, and sometimes it's scorching hot. Even overseas, there have been some turbulence, with volcanoes erupting and coastal areas flooded."

After a pause, the teacher continued.

"The country is also actively responding to and exploring these issues. The drastic change in weather has also caused many students to feel unwell and catch a cold or fever. Today, the school received a notice from above and started the holiday. The specific time to return to school is unknown and will be notified separately later, so I hope that students will not forget to review at home."

As soon as the words fell, the students' noisy voices rang out.

"Hey! It's a holiday! Then I can have some fun."

"What are you doing? There are emergency responses everywhere now. Many stores are closed. It's all because of the unpredictable weather. It's terrible."

"Ah! Could it be the end of the world? Is it because humans have destroyed nature that the earth is taking revenge?"

"I was wondering if you've read too many novels. Why didn't you mention that zombies are coming too?"

The students’ thoughts are always so natural and pure. Even though there are slight signs of trouble in the world today, they are still so optimistic and positive.

After taking a long look at the environment around her and her classmates, including those who had no expression on their faces, Kato Megumi left the classroom and headed towards the club activity room.

On the way, she passed by the classrooms of seniors Eriri and Shiyu with a lucky hope, but as expected, she did not see them.

Until she arrived at the door of the activity room and pushed open the door with trepidation...

When there is no one in sight.

The anticipation in my heart instantly turned into a wry smile.

"That's right...they also disappeared along with Tomoya-kun."

So what are you looking forward to? Are you wondering whether your existence is real, or are you reluctant to give up your daily life?

Although her heart was filled with complicated emotions, Kato Megumi seemed to be nostalgic, looking at and touching everything around her; she gently brushed her hand across the easel placed beside her, opened the wardrobe beside her and tried on the various maid outfits prepared inside, and found the manuscripts and drawings they had drawn from the alley nearby.

These foods, full of life and carrying her own memories, suddenly added color to Kato Megumi's self-doubting heart.

"That's right. Regardless of whether it's true or not, these are my own experiences and my most important memories. How can I deny them for these reasons?"

"It's time to make a decision..."

"Meow~"

At this moment, a meow suddenly sounded.

Kato Megumi turned around and looked.

"Eri? Why are you here?"

"Ha... I'm just worried about you. Although you had a blank expression on your face when you left this morning, I was always a little worried that something was wrong with your mood. And your uncle and aunt have become like that. I'm afraid you..."

Seeing her jump lightly onto the table and come in front of him, her ears twitching, Kato Megumi subconsciously touched them and began to rub them.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

Kato Megumi picked her up and rubbed her face against hers.

The soft touch of a cat really heals people's hearts, and the sadness in my heart was instantly relieved.

"Well, Eriri, what do you think I'll do? Don't worry... Megumi isn't such a fragile person."

"Well, that's good. I'm relieved. Do you really want to use the magic circle cast by that witch? Do you want to leave this world?"

It turned out that Kato Megumi also revealed to Eriri what Patchouli had told her. After all, they were both special in this world, and they were friends. Naturally, Kato Megumi would not hide the truth, so she told her some facts.

Kato Megumi knew what she was talking about, and she felt helpless about it.

"Eri, you know I didn't want to leave, but it's better to be prepared for some things. If it really comes to the point of no return, this may be our only way, don't you think?"

"Okay... can the other party really be trusted?"

Magic is too ridiculous, and the reality of the world is even more ridiculous. Even though natural disasters occur frequently today and people around me have problems one by one and become those things, I still have a sense of uneasiness and suspension in my heart.

What if this so-called group is a conspiracy of the other party? What if the other party's magic circle is unreliable? What if the other party is lying?

These were the issues that she was worried about, so she felt very uneasy.

In fact, it's not just Eriri, Kato Megumi is the same too, but...

"We have no choice, Eriri-san..."

Kato Megumi said so.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe things won't get to that point yet."

"By the way, you forgot to bring your phone. I received a call from the courier. They said that the things you bought have arrived, but some of them seem to be still at the courier station, so you have to pick them up yourself. Because of the recent weather and the panic environment around us, many couriers have resigned. That's what they said."

"Okay... Then I'll have to go get them myself. All that's missing is today's batch, and then the materials for setting up the magic circle will be complete."

The weather has been changing rapidly recently. Before I left the school gate, the heavy rain outside had stopped; the sky was clear and except for the puddles below, there seemed to be no sign of rain at all.

Holding Eriri, Kato Megumi did not delay and quickly arrived at the express station following the map navigation.

"Hello, excuse me, I'm Kato Megumi, I have some express deliveries here..."

"Ms. Kato Megumi? Please wait a moment..."

Picking up the express went smoothly and there were no unexpected incidents.

On the way, Kato Megumi bought some snacks that Eriri liked, and then returned home.

"I'm back--"

There was no response from inside the house. A trace of sadness flashed across Kato Megumi's eyes, and she paused in changing her shoes.

Eriri noticed it, so she raised her head, looked at Kato Megumi and comforted her.

"Are you okay, Hui?"

"Um...it's okay, what can I do..."

She changed into slippers skillfully and walked into the house.

The lights in the room were dim, but the TV was on. The two figures sitting on the sofa were illuminated in the dim light, looking a little weird.

Obviously, the parents are at home.

Kato Megumi approached the figure, but the figure did not react at all and just stared blankly at the news on TV.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back..."

no response.

Kato Megumi pursed her lips and shouted again.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back..."
