Collapse, surrender to me!

Because everything around me began to collapse like a mirror.

"What happened!" Xiaoyuan exclaimed.

"When despair disappears, there is no meaning in existence."

Grace sighed.

She originally wanted to try to transform the other party back from her witch state.

But when I started to work I found out.

You are actually killing the other person.

To put it bluntly, despair itself is the foundation of the witch's existence.

What Gresh did was akin to a cleansing.

Just like the great Buddhists who help the dead souls to be reborn.

The resentment is gone, but the ghost is also dead.

From this perspective, if the witch wants to recover, her own will must surpass her own despair.

But when it comes to this point, I can be said to be the embodiment of despair. A single thought can turn me into a demon. That's all.

In a way, this is a miracle.

Although the Rose Witch turned into Rose, she is still trying to fulfill her obsession.

But a true rose garden will never be built.

Only eternal damnation.

Grayshu stretched out her little hand and caught the Seed of Sorrow that was falling from the sky.

Then he suddenly threw the Seed of Sorrow into a corner of the room.

However, there was no sound of it hitting the wall and rolling on the ground - it was as if someone caught it in the dark.

That was Homura Akemi wearing the uniform of Mitakihara Junior High School.

Next to him is Tomoe Mami.

"I have no use for this thing."

Gray practiced Buddhism.

"It should be able to be used seven or eight times. Here you go, Homura-san."

After hearing what Grayshu said, Yan just looked at the Seed of Sorrow in silence.

She and Mami Tomoe looked extremely surprised.

"You... can purify the Seed of Sorrow?"

Normally, even if one succeeds in defeating the witch, the seeds of sorrow one obtains will be filled with despair.

Using it once or twice is enough.

This is the first time I have seen such a pure seed of sorrow.

“Yes.”

Grayshu walked up to Mami, stretched out her hand and gently tapped the soul gem on Mami's head.

Suddenly, the gem made a resonant sound and flashed with light, and then something spurted out from the Soul Bauhaus and was annihilated the moment it approached Grayshu.

At the same time, the gemstone became clear.

"What an incredible ability..."

Mami was truly shocked this time.

Before, outside the barrier, Yan told her that Kyubey would probably never come back.

At that time, Mami felt like the sky was about to fall.

Although she doesn't know yet that the magical girl will become a witch.

But every time the Seed of Sorrow is filled with despair, it is thrown to Kyubey for recycling. Without Kyubey, the Seed of Sorrow, which is filled with despair again, might turn into a witch again, and her fight would be meaningless.

The appearance of Grace gave her a huge surprise.

Even in this world, Grayshu's auxiliary ability is like a ceiling.

This means that even if the witch cannot be found, Grayshu can still purify her after a while.

"But this is not the place to talk. Let's change the place."

……

Senior Mami's apartment.

Very cozy decoration, very relaxing atmosphere.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tomoe Mami. I'm a third-year student and your senior."

Mami Tomoe enthusiastically poured tea for everyone.

Maybe it’s because no one has come here for a long time.

This time there were so many people in her apartment.

Madoka and Sayaka entered the barrier but did not lose their minds or be bewitched, which proves that they have the potential to be magical girls and can become companions.

Senior Mami had an air of knowing everything and told me everything.

Madoka and Sayaka finally understood what a magical girl is.

Make a wish and then bear the heavy fate.

"But, in the end, the magical girl will——"

Looking at the sunlight but the senior who seemed to be kept in the dark, Xiaoyuan couldn't help but stand up, but before she could finish her words, she was glared at by Yan who was standing next to her.

Homura, who seemed to have no sense of existence at all, targeted Madoka right at the first move.

Grace guessed the reason instantly.

Although Senior Mami seems to be warm-hearted, gentle, and elegant, and a caring older sister, she is mature, steady, and strong in front of her juniors.

But on the other hand, he desperately wanted to have a partner to accompany him in the fight.

Secondly...I'm actually very fragile inside.

After all, she had seen the reincarnation scene of Yan.

When Graysh purified the Rose Witch before, the barrier had already changed its appearance. Asami did not hear what the Rose Witch said to Madoka and the others, so it still remains in its current appearance.

But if Madoka had revealed the truth about the magical girl turning into a witch, the sunny senior would have collapsed instantly and a civil war would have unfolded.

Homura actually doesn't care whether Tomoe Mami collapses or not.

But when it comes to fighting against Witch Night, she doesn't have much confidence in herself, so naturally the more people the better.

If Mami is going to collapse, she has to wait until the Witch Night is over.

In other words, the witch dies on night one.

Even if it was to prevent Mami from becoming a witch in Mitakihara City and hurting Madoka, she would take the initiative to twist off her senior's head.

Yan never thought of himself as a good person.

The same is true.

"You two should not bring up the truth about magical girls in front of Senpai."

Gracie's voice appeared in Madoka and Sayaka's minds.

"Senior is actually very fragile inside. You all know that when a magical girl is desperate, the Soul Gem will quickly degenerate and turn her into a witch. You don't want Senior to turn into a witch in front of you just because of a word you said, do you?"

"..."

Grayshuse's words frightened Madoka and Sayaka into shutting up.

The Rose Witch is still before my eyes.

The two kind-hearted girls didn't want the gentle senior schoolmate in front of them to become like that because of their words.

Madoka and Sayaka were amazed to find that they could talk to Graysch just by thinking about it, and couldn't help asking, "But you look strong... You've lived alone and fought witches for a long time. You don't look fragile at all."

"What's that phrase? A strong disguise." Grayshu thought for a moment and said, "She is very enthusiastic about you. Although Kyubey is gone now and you won't become magical girls, you have crossed paths after all. To her, you are the friends she has always longed for."

Is senior sister so lonely?

The kind-hearted Madoka's eyes changed when she looked at senior Mami.

"Mami-san is no longer alone."

Xiaoyuan's gentle and slightly soft voice sounded.

The strong affinity made the senior sister's hand that was pouring tea freeze in mid-air.

Senior Mami suddenly turned her face away.

After a while, she said in a trembling voice.

“This is terrible… I still have to maintain my senior look… I’m really useless…”

"Sister Mami..."

"I am very grateful to you, but Kyubey is no longer here. You can't become magical girls, and you can't fight with me."

"But we will always be with you."

Madoka's voice seems to have the power to heal everything.

"We will come here often, wait for Senior Mami to come back from battle, eat cake, drink tea, and talk about interesting things in school."

"So, senior sister, no matter what difficulties or dangers you encounter, don't give up. Remember, we are always waiting for you to come back."

Just a few moments.

It seemed as if the identities of the two had been swapped.

Madoka seemed to have become a senior, and Asami asked with eyes wide open and tears in her eyes, "Are you really willing to...stay with me forever from now on?"

"Well, don't cry, senior."

Xiaoyuan reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her senior's eyes.

But I can never wipe it all off.

Senior Mami also wiped the tears from her face with her hands: "Thank you... Thank you, I swear, I will protect you!"

Yan leaned against the wall, looking a little dazed.

She wasn't jealous or anything, Madoka was the same with everyone.

Knew it.

It doesn’t really matter whether you become a magical girl or not.

Because Kaname Madoka is Kaname Madoka, and nothing will change because of this.

This is who she wants to protect.

Mami Tomoe used the excuse of going to get the cake to sort out her out-of-control emotions.

Sayaka seemed to have reacquainted herself with her childhood friend.

"Xiaoyuan, you just seemed to have grown up, that kind of, that kind of..."

Sayaka couldn't think of an adjective for a moment.

In her impression, although Xiaoyuan is gentle, she is actually very timid. Doing something like an identity change today is considered a huge breakthrough.

"what!"

However, after senior Mami left, Madoka returned to her school self.

She responded somewhat shyly.

"On the one hand, I want to comfort Senior, and I also want to be friends with her. Of course, what's more important is what Grayshuin said, Senior is just pretending to be strong... I'm afraid that something will really happen to her and she won't be able to get over it."

"And Senior has been fighting alone... Although we can't fight with Senior, we often visit Senior and spend more time with her. This will give her something to worry about, so she won't do anything stupid, right?"

In Xiaoyuan's opinion, the senior's previous state of being alone and psychologically fragile was simply too dangerous.
