Fighting you is like being in jail.

"Eh?"

Mami's pupils contracted, the image of a clown's face with its mouth open reflected in her golden pupils. She stood frozen in place, unable to react, with no chance to dodge.

Am I going to die?

At that moment, Mami Tomoe's eyes widened, and her own voice echoed in her mind.

When Leng Jian, who was on his way, saw this, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he accelerated even more frantically than before.

"Madada—! I haven't given up yet!"

"You're already within my firing range! From now on... I won't even need a second to draw a card! As long as I draw any card, everything will be fine!"

The cold, unusual voice startled Mami Tomoe, causing her pupils to tremble uncontrollably, her heart filled with shock.

Is there any hope for me?

"Flash Draw!"

Thud!

Ultimate skill extraction completed!

I've already drawn the ultimate skill—Allied Encirclement!

Friendly Fire: Launch a powerful attack from your ally!

“…”

Ah this... Ah that...

There is a grape vine in front of the door.

Is this hope?

What a fucking useless teammate!

Leng Chang squinted, feeling that this card-drawing was even more irritating than cooking Sichuan cuisine himself; the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes froze at that moment.

Miracles and magic do exist!

"A perfect, flawless DA☆ZE hand!"

"Mami! Don't blame me, it's all fate's choice!"

"Activate your ability! Special Forces Combat!"

"One gram—!"

Teammate Mami Tomoe is deployed, launch is about to begin!

Stay tuned!

P.S.: Can I ask for a monthly pass? Oh my god! Wow!

Remember to turn off "Friendship Injury" in Chapter 19, thank you.

"The origin of this gathering will become a shining star of new life!"

"Mami, you are your own hope!"

"Let the traces of the flowing stars weave together all our wishes, filling the world with bonds and memories!"

"One gram—! Asami!"

"Accelerated synchronization can even surpass light; let's surpass light and open up the future!"

"Aunt!"

Leng Chang's domineering roar suddenly erupted, and he no longer needed to run. He stopped in place, his hands clenched so tightly that his fists turned white.

Those eyes shone with a brilliance that could even pierce the heavens.

The moment the roar ceased, he raised his fist high above his head, filled with an unwavering belief in victory.

boom-!

Just as the snack witch's sharp teeth were about to bite down.

The sound of teeth clashing together rang out, but Mami Tomoe was no longer there.

Mami Tomoe's body transformed into light, shooting up into the sky with a meteor-like tail, instantly illuminating the entire dark witch's barrier.

The beam of light shooting into the sky was so bright that even Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname, who were far away, could see it clearly.

Faced with the sudden light, Homura Akemi felt a gust of wind and stopped searching for Madoka Kaname. She stood on the hard ground and looked up at the pillar of light that had been lowered.

"what is that?"

A strong wind swept in, lifting her transformed short skirt, causing the hem and collar of her top to flutter in the wind, and stretching her long black hair even further.

The next second, the beam of light shot into the sky and changed direction in the black sky, making a sharp 180-degree turn and drawing an arc in the air.

It hurtled toward the ground with the force of a comet impact, and the enormous impact squeezed out the surrounding air currents.

She crashed into the position of the Snack Witch.

Boom!

The moment it hit the ground, a white spherical energy explosion shot up, and the violent energy fluctuations engulfed everything around it.

Leng Chang, who was closest to the explosion's epicenter, had no choice but to raise his hand to resist the shockwave, shielding his eyes with his arm, but he was unable to withstand it.

The oncoming impact lifted his body up and blew him away.

"Waaaaaah! I...I'm one of us! Please turn off the 'friendship breakdown' mode!"

In an instant, Leng Chang's figure was obscured by the white impact, as if nothing had been left behind, annihilated in the light, just like Frieza after being hit by the Kamehameha.

Click!

The somber witch's barrier shattered in that instant, and fragments of the dome fell like glass from above.

As the fragments of the witch's barrier scattered.

The sky revealed the colors of dusk, and at the same time, the surrounding cake forest disappeared, restoring the view of skyscrapers.

Leng Chang, who was thrown into the air by the impact, slammed heavily onto the concrete ground, his body bouncing twice. The hardness of the concrete hitting his body caused him pain.

Finally, he lay on his side on the ground, curled up in Yamcha's standard defeated posture, with wisps of white smoke still emanating from his body, a result of the impact and burns.

At this moment, Kitahara Iori, who arrived late, saw Leng Chang lying on the ground and her pupils contracted.

"Cold—every—!"

He rushed over to check on Leng Chang's condition, his eyes filled with shock and guilt.

If I had done it faster, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hearing Kitahara Iori's voice, Leng Chang, lying on the ground, opened his eyes with a tremor and smiled when he saw it was Kitahara Iori.

Where's Mami Tomoe?

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Iori was shocked, her pupils dilating as she looked to the side.

Not far ahead, Mami Tomoe was lying on the ground, covering her mouth to stop herself from vomiting. Her trembling body made painful sounds: "Kurushi... My head... My head is so dizzy, why is this happening... My body is perfectly fine, but my head is so dizzy."

This scene relieved Kitahara Iori, who said with a joyful voice, "It's okay! She's okay! Brother Leng Chang, you did it!" His eyes were filled with tears of excitement as he spoke.

Recalling how Leng Changzai rushed forward without hesitation after receiving Madoka Kaname's message, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"That's great……"

When Leng Chang heard Kitahara Iori's reply, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled contentedly. It was as if he had arrived at a place of peace, and his heart was filled with tranquility.

When Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname rushed over.

The smile remained on Leng Chang's face as the setting sun shone on everyone.

"Leng Chang?"

"How could he be so badly injured!"

Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname were both startled, their pupils trembling uncontrollably, their mouths slightly agape as they stared at Leng Chang in astonishment.

Under everyone's gaze, Leng Chang trembled as he raised his hand, trying to grasp something.

The next second, Kaname Madoka rushed up and grabbed Leng Chang's trembling hand, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Leng Chang! Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"

Leng Chang felt Madoka Kaname gripping her hand tightly, small yet strong. Her face was pressed down, her teeth clenched in sorrow and pain.

With his last bit of strength, he opened his mouth and said:

"Chat group chat wasn't closed, friend hurt..."

"what?"

"what?"

"Eh?"

When the cold, ordinary voice rang out.

The sadness on the faces of Madoka Kaname, Iori Kitahara, and Homura Akemi froze, their pupils dilating in bewilderment.

Countless formulas and the shock of the Big Bang flashed through his mind, leaving him completely frozen in place. Meanwhile, Mami Tomoe stood trembling beside him.

Shaking my head, I looked at the sunset on the horizon and felt the cool night breeze after dusk.

When the cool night breeze blew past Leng Chang.

His pupils were fixed on this moment, and the bangs in front of his eyes were fluttering.

“Leng Chang? You…” Kaname Madoka asked in a trembling voice as she came to her senses.

But Leng Chang interrupted her, saying in a trembling voice:

"My heart and actions are as black as sunglasses, and skill card draws are going to kill me."

"Next time... remember to turn off 'friendship injury,' thank you."

The next second, he burned out and closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, lying peacefully on the ground, motionless.

In the dark alleys of the city streets.

When the sound of leather shoes rang out for the fifth time.

Qubi stood blankly in the alley deep in the alley, as a shadow of a person gradually approached him.

In just one breath, the shadow of that person completely covered Kyubey's body.

The human figure was reflected in those blood-red eyes.

Dressed in a suit and leather gloves, his hands were loosening his tie. The dim light of the alley shone on him from behind, and his eyes, hidden in the shadows, were glowing with a blood-red light as he stared intently at Qubi in the alley.

"These little things are so hard to find."

When the black leather glove landed instantly on Cupid's white head.

A dark shadow flashed by, and neither Kyubey nor the man could be seen in the alley.

P.S.: Update is late. There's another chapter coming up, but it might be a little later. Please vote with your monthly tickets! Oh, right!

Chapter Twenty: Xiaoyuan! You're not like this!

After the battle with the Snack Witch.

Leng Chang, Kaname Madoka, Kitahara Iori, Akemi Homura, and Tomoe Mami planned to have a nice meal. Kaname Madoka even called her family to arrange to eat out with her classmates.

A luxurious private room in the hotel.

When Leng Chang took out Xiao Meiyan's bank card to say that the meal was on him.

Homura Akemi's murderous, dismembering gaze never left Leng Chang, leaving Kitahara Iori completely bewildered, unable to understand why Homura Akemi harbored such resentment towards Leng Chang.

But it doesn't matter!

Homura Akemi has never been short of money. After all, she's the kind of person who even steals from armories, so how could she possibly be stumped by a little money?

So, Leng Chang simply picked up the menu, pointed to a few dishes, and said to the waiter:

"This, this, and this."
