You're not a serious magical girl, are you?

So, of course she has no friends.

Not having friends is easy to bring a lot of bad luck. In the class, a lonely person like her is easy to be teased by others.

At first it was playful and joking among the children. The children actually didn't have any deep malice. They were just playful and mischievous. At most, they would give her a nickname to laugh at her slowness, but it would not directly hurt her physically and mentally.

But as they grow older, the children's seldom malicious teasing has gradually changed.

New classes, unfamiliar faces, and the original teasing has gradually turned into a worse-natured campus bullying.

Books were thrown away face to face, and she jokingly asked her "If you don't answer, you agree", lunch boxes and personal items are often met with malice, or are poured into cold water, or simply thrown into the trash can... Every time she I can only look at it like this, the emotion in my heart cannot be described with simple sadness, but when the words come to my lips, I am completely speechless.

They just want to see her like this... don't they?

Anxious, and then speechless... As long as they show such an expression, they will laugh excitedly, as if they have won some great victory.

She was a weak and easily bullied object in the class. She didn't speak or resist, so the campus bullying she suffered became more and more serious.

She is very disappointed, for this class, for this school, for this world...she is very disappointed for all these.

Isuzu Rei didn't know what she wanted to do now, she was ready to die before, but now she wanted to die but didn't dare to die.

"Thank you... Yes, you can listen to me and finish this... I am very useless, if I can speak normally, I won't suffer from this... Yes, I hope you will not be so angry after listening..."

It was the first time in her life that she confided these things to another person, and she really felt a sense of relief in her heart. The weight that weighed her down seemed to have lightened a lot, allowing her to take a breath.

Ueno Kita looked at this girl seriously again. She often has a cold expression, but she is not repelling people thousands of miles away, but just her indifferent personality leads to few exaggerated emotional expressions, which is similar to Hiiragi sound dream Kind of similar.

Ueno Kita shook his head, resting his chin with his hands, his black pupils reflected Rei Isuzu's face.

Telepathy is only used to say things that Isuzu Rei can't say - she can talk, and the situation of being unable to say is suitable for some things that are tense or have excessive emotional fluctuations.

The girl's voice was pleasant to hear, and seemed a little soft in the coldness.

"No, no, I don't think so...I want to ask now, Isuzu, do you hate those who bully you?"

"……Very annoying."

But what about hate?

What about the hatred of wanting the other party to be unlucky and wishing the other party to die?

No - Isuzu Rei's eyes are very clean, she hates those school bullies, but doesn't hate anyone.

Even if she becomes a magical girl now, she will not use this power to take revenge on anyone... Maybe this is a good thing?At least there is no need to worry that Isuzu Rei will make headlines for vicious murders.

That being the case, Ueno Kita didn't say what he was thinking... This kid is quite kind, but he is a bit fussy.

Yes, Ueno Kita has a slight garbage allergy-campus bullying... how to put it, his previous school did not, but this does not prevent him from understanding what kind of social garbage those people are.

But it's impossible for him to go up and dismember him, right?What bad ideas could he have as a junior high school student?

It's nothing more than sending them to the juvenile prison...

Ueno Kita had this idea, but he didn't ask the names of Isuzu Rei and those people. He didn't want to waste his energy on the topic of expressing how much he hated those people. plan.

"Then Isuzu... what are you going to do next?"

"I have no idea."

The girl's voice carried a trace of bewilderment and depression, and she felt even more sad when she realized this.

"Is there no goal... It's not easy for me to interfere in my daily life, and I don't know how to give advice, but I can give you some advice for Isuzu as far as the career of a magical girl is concerned."

The girl looked up at him, attracted by the "suggestion" in his words.

That's exactly what she needs now... yes.

"Are you interested in defending justice together?"

The girl in front of her lacked a reason to live.

If she hated the school bullies, he could still talk to her about how to send those guys to the juvenile prison together, but the fact is that Isuzu Rei doesn't hate them, and talking to her about how to get revenge is obviously big Wrong.

Leave the task of sending those guys in to him. He will do some tricks behind his back... If he is found out later, it will be regarded as him helping her vent his anger, but now she still has to think about what she cares about.

"……Um?"

"I told you, Isuzu, that the enemy of a magical girl is the witch and the witch's familiar. Do you remember that?"

Isuzu Rei nodded, but still didn't understand Ueno Kita's thoughts.

Why...is it suddenly related to "fighting monsters"?

In Isuzu Rei's understanding, witches and familiars are just like the "monsters" that appear in cartoons. They should be defeated, but why do they say it at this time?

"Because I think, Isuzu, you might like the happy world very much?"

"Happy...world?"

Isuzu Rei was stunned for a moment, as if she was suddenly touched, her eyes were a little more curious.

"Yes, let me tell you about witches in detail - as we said before, witches are born from the despair of human beings, they are the embodiment of despair, so they will prey on human beings, and the negative emotions of human beings Both the soul and the soul make them stronger."

"And after understanding this, it should not be difficult for you, Isuzu, to understand the witch's predation process."

Ueno Kita held up two fingers.

"There are two ways for a witch to hunt. One is to plant a witch's kiss on the victim. The person who has been kissed will unconsciously step into the witch's enchantment, and then be killed by the witch or the familiar in the witch's enchantment. die."

Hearing that a victim had died, Rei Isuzu unconsciously clenched her hands.

"Then... yes, what about the second type?"

"The second is to spread the curse. The witch will spread the filthy magic power among the crowd. The victims of this form will not die directly, but under the influence of the curse, they will also have other dark thoughts such as suicide or murder. Many suicide or homicide cases in the society are inseparable from the curse of the witch, and on a personal level, some incidents such as fights, bullying, and domestic violence may also have a shadow of the curse of the witch."

"Witches use curses to erode others, and those who are eroded hurt others. Some witches use this method to achieve a vicious circle of negative emotions, so as to harvest despair and other negative emotions, and gradually grow stronger in dark corners. "

Compared with the first kind of witches who go straight to the point of killing people and being crushed by magical girls, the second kind of witches are obviously more troublesome.

"The cycle of negative emotions..."

Isuzu Rei held her breath, lowered her head as if struggling, and said with difficulty after a long while:

"Then...the bullying I received...was also because of the witch?"

She looked up at Ueno Kita, her eyes seemed to be much brighter, and she could sense that an emotion similar to belief was quietly sprouting.

"If the witches caused the existence of the curse in human society...then, if none of those witches are left...if all of them are wiped out, will this world...be able to become happy?"

Ueno Kita was slightly taken aback.

"In that case, will the world become a gentle world where no one will hurt others and no one will be hurt?"

This is a girl who was sunk in the gloomy sea after being bullied on campus, but looked up to the sky, yearning for sunshine and warmth.

Ueno Kita pursed his lips... He knew that Isuzu Rei's understanding had deviated from what he wanted to express.

She saw a world full of sunshine and flowers.

He did not deny that kind of world, and he also looked forward to the arrival of that world, but Isuzu Rei was wrong, not because her expectation was wrong, but because her thinking and understanding were wrong.

"uncertain."

He doesn't like to be negative, but it's not his habit to watch others go down the wrong path and stand by.

"Isuzu, are you blaming all human malice...on the witch?"

He tried his best not to express emotions such as "distress" or "pity" in his tone, but spoke to her gently in a very normal tone.

Isuzu Rei seemed to realize something, and then fell silent, only Ueno Kita continued to speak.

"Human beings... have a good side and a despicable side. Witches are indeed one of the reasons why humans hurt others, but it doesn't mean that there are no witches in the world, and humans won't hurt others. Although it is sad, but Sometimes people do have unreasonable malice towards others, if you fight with that obsession, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end."

Isuzu Rei's eyes dimmed again.

"is that so……"

"Is such that."

"Then... what's the point of fighting a witch?"

She subconsciously said this, and then seemed to realize something, raised her head in a hurry, and hurriedly explained to Shang Yebei:

"Hug, sorry...I didn't mean that...yes, I...I..."

Isuzu Rei didn't want to deny Ueno Kita's behavior, what she said was only aimed at herself...she couldn't find her way, that's all.

She was afraid that Ueno Kita would misunderstand what she had just said, which actually sounded really negative and easily disappointing.

She wanted to explain, but when she became nervous, she couldn't speak, and she didn't consciously use the telepathy she had just learned, and was just anxious.

"I know, Isuzu, don't be nervous, I didn't make it clear...I'll talk about it later, you listen first, maybe you can change your mind?"

Ueno Kita waved his hand, comforting Rei Isuzu to sit still.

"Continue to talk about the topic just now, to create a gentle world where no one will hurt others... It sounds very touching, a great wish, Isuzu. I am looking forward to it when you say that start that future."

Ueno Kita supported his chin with one hand, his eyes fell on the girl's face.

As if because of being praised, the girl froze for a moment, and then a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

"I didn't... just thought so... yes."

"It's amazing to be able to think this way. I've met many people, but their awareness is actually not as good as yours... But in this way, I'm sure, Isuzu, you can really try and try to destroy the witch. "

"……why?"

"Because... that's protecting others, and it's creating a gentler world just like you think."

They are not pushing the world forward in great strides.

On this vast land, they are as small as dust, but even dust has its own brilliance.

"Actually, I can't guarantee that you will like something, or even that you will get satisfaction from it... But I think that people live to seek peace of mind, or happiness, and when you fall into When you are confused, doing something meaningful will bring you closer to that sense of security.”

"Does it make sense..."

"As long as you have done some things, it will definitely leave its meaning... Fighting the witch is for protection. You may protect other people's families, you may save other people's lives, or you may protect other people's laughter. In the process, we may not be able to eliminate human malice, but we can make more goodwill appear, or keep more goodwill and bestow more goodwill on others.”

Evil and... good?

"This is the right and meaningful thing. Helping others, listening to laughter, and fighting side by side with your companions... It is difficult for me to describe some emotions to you. Maybe you will feel more emotional if you experience it yourself. Maybe it will bring You are satisfied or moved."

Ueno Kita paused, then looked into the girl's eyes seriously.

"Isuzu—"

"I am here……"

"Having said so much, I just want to tell you... no matter what time it is, it's never wrong to have a kind heart. When you hear a tragedy, you want to save it. When you suffer bad luck, you don't hold hatred. You even yearn for it." In a gentle world, you who yearn for happiness like this are undoubtedly a gentle person. With such a kind and gentle heart, to protect and taste the happiness of others, one day you will find your own happy."

He doesn't want Rei Isuzu to live for others, nor does he want Rei Isuzu to dedicate himself to the so-called "justice".

He couldn't be more clear about the path Ba Mami had walked... It was precisely because he knew Ba Mami's mood that he was so sure that Isuzu Rei and Ba Mami were different.

Ba Mami will fall into the illusory dream of "justice", but Isuzu Rei will not.

He firmly believed that a gentle girl like her would be able to find her own happiness and touch in the surrounding of happiness.

"This world is beautiful, it is not cruel, and now meeting someone like Isuzu... makes me believe this even more. So, I am looking forward to the day when you find your own happiness, and you will definitely be more happy like that. Dazzling."

"So, please believe in the gentleness of this world. If you treat the world with such tenderness, you will definitely be treated with tenderness by the world."

To live, to live with the kindness and tenderness of the moment.

Isuzu Rei froze in place.

His lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound as usual.

But the heart was trembling unusually, as if some emotion was about to come out.

It's suddenly, it's moving, it's empathy... The corners of the eyes are a little sour, and warm tears seem to be gradually accumulating in the eye sockets.

She wasn't... not as amazing as he said...

She's not that gentle...and she's not that kind...She's obviously just a cowardly, weak person who wants to kill herself.

"I'm...just a...weak person who wants to commit suicide..."

Can someone like her be treated with tenderness by the world?

"Really? I don't think you, Isuzu, are weak, but if you think so, Isuzu, then I hope... this world can become a gentle world that tolerates the weak and allows the weak to live happily."

Ueno Kita pointed at Isuzu Rei's heart and said warmly.

"Starting from you, Isuzu, with you, the world must be able to add a bit of gentle color, right?"

Isuzu Rei raised her wrist to wipe away her tears, her lips trembled, and finally exclaimed in a slightly crying voice:
