Fighting you is like being in jail.

The witch's barrier shattered like glass, and fragments of the barrier scattered in the air.

As Madoka Kaname sensed the powerful magnetic field, her face lit up with a delighted smile. She grinned broadly, her eyes gleaming, and unleashed a barrage of punches upon the other familiars.

"A steamed bun explodes, blasting fists and teeth—!"

"I will save everyone! □Yeah—!"

"Hee-ya—!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each of her punches was like an explosion and an earthquake, piercing through the trembling familiars, and even the witch's space was shattered under her fists, scattered in the air.

When the familiar was completely destroyed, the Witch Space also exploded at the same time, disappearing completely from everyone's sight.

The sunset shone down from the horizon after the witch's barrier disappeared. Madoka Kaname stood in the sunset with her fists clenched. The dark red sunlight fell on her and cast a long shadow.

At this moment, Madoka Kaname lowered her head, slowly looked towards the direction of the setting sun, and exhaled a breath of blissful contentment.

"Shh...the sun is setting, it's so beautiful..."

“…”

At this moment, Homura Akemi stared in shock at Madoka Kaname turning back in the sunset, her pupils dilating in disbelief. She wanted nothing more than to cover her eyes and scream, "Quack! I don't want to see! I don't want to see those round little teeth—!"

Chapter Thirteen: Don't Blame the Gacha Pool if You Have Bad Luck

The battle is over, but it seems something else ended at the same time.

As the sun set, its crimson rays cast long shadows across the earth. But no one felt joy at victory; only the pain and destruction of battle remained. A slight chill filled the air, a gentle breeze ruffled the hair of everyone present, and their thoughts drifted far away.

The tense spirit was relieved at this moment

The relief also calmed my anxious heart.

However, the pain from the battle lingered in everyone's minds, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"What kind of fight is this?!" Kaname Madoka exclaimed, her face flushed as she snapped out of her daze. The thought of the brutal, earth-shattering blows she had just endured made her face burn.

Although the fight was exhilarating, how could a girl be so rough?

But... the sense of accomplishment from the victory lingered in her mind for a long time, as if she had a sense of pride as a warrior.

"So...can you explain what's going on? I think we should sit down and talk things over."

Mami Tomoe limped along, dragging her still-painful right leg. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion, and her entire face seemed to have collapsed, with only the corner of her mouth twitching slightly. When she said "let's talk," it was with a weak, feeble sigh.

Homura Akemi, slumped on the ground in a duck-like pose, stared blankly ahead, her pupils slowly dilating. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh, and her chest sank.

She remarked with a sigh, "Yes, perhaps we should have a proper talk."

It's different now, completely different.

Countless cycles have passed, but this time it's completely different, a complete departure from everything that has happened before.

Realizing this, Homura Akemi glanced sideways at Rei Chang, who was sprawled out in a position that seemed unable to stop. Her eyes were deep, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her lips twitched, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

But when she thought of Madoka Kaname's power, her eyes narrowed, and she pursed her lips, becoming fierce.

So what is the price?

Cupid can grant wishes, but at the cost of endless despair and sacrifice.

Now that Leng Chang has given Madoka Kaname power, what is the price?

Miracles and magic are never free.

At this moment, Leng Chang, who was lying on the ground, came to his senses, suddenly raised his head, clenched his hands in front of his eyes, and began to curse angrily.

"How can this be! As the saying goes, we are all slaves to fate, unable to change its course… But I, Common Cold, am different! I am the protagonist of my own destiny! December 12, 2018"

了

"Damn it! Why did it have to turn out like this!"

Amidst his angry curses, Leng Chang used his hands to prop himself up, pushing himself up slowly from the ground. His face was partially obscured by shadows in the setting sun, but his eyes gleamed as he looked at Kaname Madoka, whose face was flushed red to the point of stiffness.

"Well... not bad. It's pretty good, even if it's only half done!"

“Kaname Madoka! At this moment, you have lost the right to be a girl. Although you are not quite human, overall I am still quite satisfied.”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but extend, and when they reached their limit, they split open, revealing a ferocious smile on his face.

"Wow! Stop talking!" Kaname Madoka quickly shrank her neck and covered her face, blushing so much she couldn't look people in the eye. She also realized that Leng Chang had deliberately tricked her, and immediately began to angrily accuse him.

"You did this on purpose! You deliberately embarrassed me!"

“Yes, that’s right! I’m so happy!” Leng Chang opened his mouth and smiled, his expression both surprised and sincere.

“…”

You shamelessly admitted it!

Kaname Madoka was caught off guard by this sudden admission, her voice caught in her throat, unsure whether to speak or remain silent. But the next second, she angrily pointed at Leng Chang and accused him:

"Damn it! Not only did you embarrass me, but why is the only card in the gacha pool [Rebellion of the Little Toe]?! You must have tampered with it!"

She was furious and resentful. She glared at Leng Chang with wide eyes, her lips even slightly pursed.

Despite working so hard and being so full of expectations, I still got my little toe injured three times in a row. If it weren't for a backup plan, I'm afraid I would have been tormented for ages.

As a result, Leng Chang, who was laughing, stopped laughing, his expression became serious, and his eyes were filled with a sense of emotion.

He said earnestly, "If you're not good at it, don't blame the road; if you're unlucky, don't blame the gacha pool. If I could cheat the gacha pool, do you think I would let you go? I would have been the first one to go up and show off."

"Ah...that makes sense." Kaname Madoka opened her mouth wide and stared at Leng Chang as she made her conclusion, but her mind was filled with all sorts of formulas and the Big Bang of the universe.

A moment later, she suddenly realized something, her eyes widened, and she angrily raised her fists, shouting in protest, "How can you bully a girl like this!"

"Ask yourself honestly, I even steal girls' bank cards, why would you think I wouldn't cheat you?" Leng Chang narrowed his eyes without any mercy or shame, completely ignoring Kaname Madoka's protests.

“…”

"..."

"..."

This answer caused Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, and Mami Tomoe to exchange glances.

A conclusion was reached.

This is real convulsion!

He's such a grown man, yet he robbed a junior high school girl of her money!

Mami Tomoe's house.

A white teacup sat on the coffee table in the living room, filled with hot tea that emitted a soft, rising steam. Leng Chang and the other three sat at the coffee table, drinking the tea. The tea, which was as hot as sixty degrees Celsius, was slightly scalding when they drank it, and they could clearly feel the heat as the tea traveled down their esophagus into their stomachs.

However, this Japanese-style kneeling posture felt awkward and completely unsuitable to me; I simply sat cross-legged. After all, kneeling is something... I've only learned half of it; the other half, the support... I don't know where it went.

She set down her teacup, the glass making a soft clinking sound against the coffee table. Mami Tomoe glanced at everyone with her golden eyes before slowly asking:

"I don't understand, emmm... I don't know what to ask first. But I need an explanation, could you tell me?"

She looked at everyone, unsure of what to do, feeling somewhat hesitant.

I don't understand why Homura Akemi attacked Kyubey, or why Madoka Kaname and Reijin suddenly appeared, or the power Madoka Kaname displayed.

It feels like the whole world has become unrecognizable in the blink of an eye.

"Let me explain."

Leng Chang looked down at his teacup, then raised his eyes to look at Mami Tomoe, his brows gradually hardening with seriousness. He traced the rim of the teacup with his finger and said in a grave tone:

"My name is Leng Chang, and I'm here to deal with the system host. I believe you've all heard about the kidnapping cases recently. To put it simply, the kidnapper is a kidnapper with superpowers. If we don't deal with him, it will affect the world. The worst-case scenario is a massive purge."

"Kidnapping suspects? Mass purges?"

Mami Tomoe stared wide-eyed at Leng Chang in confusion, the ends of her hair swaying as she turned her head.

"In short, the world will be destroyed if left unchecked."

Chapter Fourteen: Today, my hands tremble. Today, my heart aches!

"Will the world be destroyed?"

Mami Tomoe was stunned by these words, staring blankly at Leng Chang with a bewildered look in her eyes. She had no real feeling about the world's destruction; it felt incredibly distant.

Sitting opposite, Leng Chang raised his eyes and saw Mami Tomoe's confusion. He casually said, "That's roughly the idea. Anyway, you don't need to worry about it. I'll handle it."

“Okay, I understand.” Mami Tomoe nodded, picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and after feeling the warm tea go down her throat, turned to look at Homura Akemi.

Homura Akemi noticed Mami Tomoe looking at her, her expression darkening, a hint of resistance in her eyes. After all, Mami Tomoe was a destabilizing factor; once she learned the truth about Kyubey, she would be a ticking time bomb.

"Can you explain why you're chasing Kyubey?" Mami Tomoe stared at Homura Akemi, waiting for her answer.

However, Homura Akemi didn't answer. She stood up abruptly, her long hair falling over her shoulders to her chest. As she stood, she looked at Mami Tomoe with a cold gaze and said in a somber tone:

"I don't need to explain, and I don't need to explain. I should go."

"That won't do! Don't even think about leaving here until you explain yourself clearly."

Mami Tomoe also stood up, staring intently at Homura Akemi with a serious expression, as if she was about to transform into a magical girl and start a battle if she didn't explain herself clearly.

"You think you can keep me here?" Homura Akemi retorted defiantly, her purple eyes flashing with a sharp light, ready to transform and fight at any moment.

This tense situation made Madoka Kaname anxious; she desperately wanted to stop the two of them, her eyes filled with tension.

"If you want to fight, I won't let you fight!"

As soon as Madoka Kaname spoke, Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe both looked over, as if their little toes were still throbbing, and quickly said:

"No, no, no."

"That's right, Madoka. We won't fight."

The two immediately softened their tone, with Mami Tomoe even offering a friendly smile to reassure Madoka Kaname, fearing a repeat of the previous situation.

"If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first."

Homura Akemi comforted Madoka Kaname, simply saying something and then, without waiting for anyone to react, activated time stop and left.

By the time Madoka Kaname and Mami Tomoe came to their senses, Homura Akemi was no longer in the room.

"Hey……"

Kaname Madoka looked helpless as Homura Akemi left, letting out a heavy sigh, unsure of what to say.

Having seen the situation clearly, Leng said calmly, "Then it's about time we left and went home to sleep."

"Oh no! It's so late, I'm going to get yelled at when I get home!"

Madoka Kaname immediately widened her eyes upon realizing what was happening, and covered her mouth with her five fingers in a flustered manner.

Now that Mami understood the situation, she smiled and said, "Let's call it a day then."

"Okay, bye-bye, Mami-senpai." Kaname Madoka nodded, eagerly preparing to leave.

......

On the streets at night, under the streetlights illuminating the way, Leng Chang said goodbye to Kaname Madoka and planned to go back to rest. He could return anytime thanks to the chat group, since the passageway was there without any limit to the number of times he could use it.

very nice.

Suddenly, Leng Chang felt that this situation was too good to be true, unlike other flashy characters who had restrictions when they transmigrated.

Just as Leng Chang was about to go home to sleep, a figure appeared in the shadows around the corner. Long black hair hung down behind the head, and a pair of purple eyes shone in the darkness. The figure's gaze fell on Leng Chang. A white top clung to the body, and black pantyhose were worn under a gray skirt.

"What's the matter?" Leng Chang glanced at the person who had suddenly appeared and asked in confusion.

The person who arrived was none other than Homura Akemi.

She emerged from the shadows, her purple eyes fixed on him, her brows furrowing slightly as she looked at Leng Chang, who was considerably taller than her, with a hint of wariness.

"Why did you drag Xiaoyuan into this!" As she spoke, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, as if she were about to launch an attack at any moment.

“This is Xiaoyuan’s own wish.” Leng Chang thought of something, smiled wickedly, and his eyes gleamed under the streetlights.

"That kind of power... can't be without a price, right! I'm not as easily fooled as others!" Homura Akemi stared at her as if she saw through everything, her fist clenching tightly as she spoke, her knuckles turning white.

Leng Chang's smile grew even more wicked, and his eyes widened with delight as he looked at Homura Akemi, his mouth agape in wild joy.

"We're all adults, so I won't say much more. After all, we all understand that miracles and magic don't come for free. Every time Madoka Kaname uses those abilities, she drifts further and further away from the definition of a human being. Hehehehehe!"
