Fighting you is like being in jail.

Chapter 5 YA☆DA☆ZE!

"What's the price?"

Homura Akemi's brows furrowed, and her gaze towards Leng Chang was no longer that of a person, but rather that of Kyubey, her deep blue eyes flashing with hatred. As the light above shifted, the chill in her eyes spread, like sharp knives falling upon Leng Chang.

The sudden change made Leng Chang frown, then relax. He realized that Homura Akemi might have misunderstood something, and immediately began to explain:

“I’m not like Cupid, who only says half of what he means.”

"You know Kyubey?" Homura Akemi's eyes twitched, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Their true name is 'Incubators,' a product of an alien civilization. To prevent the increase of entropy in the universe and avoid heat death, this civilization developed technology to cultivate 'emotions.' However, this civilization's own species lacks emotions, so they target human girls, who are the most emotionally expressive, and exploit their hopeful nature."

The mind, drawing upon the immense energy generated from her transformation from a "magical girl" into a "witch."

Leng Chang said in a deep voice, instantly revealing all of Qiu Bi's secrets. At this moment, he was more serious than ever, and his eyes shone with a light of certainty.

Homura Akemi appeared even angrier than before after mentioning Kyubey, her gaze towards Leng Chang piercing, and the corners of her mouth slightly downturned. "Incubator... since you know that, how can you prove that you and Kyubey are not the same?"

"I can show you the final result." Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if something was revealing an evil aura, and he brought immense pressure simply by not moving.

"What was the result?" Homura Akemi asked expressionlessly, but her eyes turned serious as she looked ahead.

"The final fate of Madoka Kaname." Leng Chang grinned, his lips seemingly stretching endlessly. His eyes held the confidence of someone who had Homura Akemi completely under his thumb, as he tossed out bait that Homura Akemi could not resist.

"What!?" Homura Akemi's pupils trembled as she stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Upon hearing Madoka Kaname's name, her tense expression crumbled, revealing only shock.

"Give me your answer, Homura Akemi! Will you join me in saving the world and Madoka Kaname, whom you care about most, or will you refuse to let Madoka Kaname be pushed into a world without her after countless reincarnations?"

Leng Chang's smile faded, a hint of solemnity settling in his eyes. His gaze towards Homura Akemi flashed with a sharp, almost imperceptible light. He silently awaited Homura's answer, like a morning alarm clock waiting for its ringing.

Upon hearing this, Homura Akemi's lips twitched into a displeased "tsk." With no room for retreat, no matter how many doubts she harbored, her expression softened as she stared intently ahead.

She now understands a lot about the situation. The previous countless cycles were all the same, but this time it's completely different.

This is her opportunity! It could also be a crisis!

That's why she had to make a change. Looking back on countless reincarnations, no matter how she tried to change, it had no effect.

Perhaps this time will be different.

She looked at Leng Chang one more time, her deep blue eyes trembling slightly—a mixture of expectation and uncertainty. Her eyelashes also trembled slightly, and her young face bore a heavy thoughtfulness that seemed beyond her years.

"You won. I agree."

Homura Akemi's chest sank, she exhaled, and gave up resisting, as if the volcano that had erupted at that moment had calmed down.

"The right choice. I'll take your bank card without hesitation, hehehehe!"

Leng Chang lowered his eyes and pulled up the corners of his mouth, displaying a comical expression reminiscent of those on online forums. He accepted the bank card that Akemi Homura held up with a sense of righteous indignation and satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with himself.

The activity funds are here now.

Just as Leng Chang took Homura Akemi's bank card, Homura Akemi pushed off with both legs, leaping backward from her spot. Her eyes blazed as she stared at Leng Chang, and the time disc on her arm began to spin the instant she landed.

"Unfortunately, I don't believe you, but we'll meet again later."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared—she had used her invincible time-stopping escape technique!

"?"

Leng Chang's smile froze, and his jaw dropped as he stared in the direction where Akemi Homura had disappeared. A gust of cold wind blew past, and the stunned Leng Chang finally came to his senses, falling into a deathly silence.

"No—no—! Why did you run away! Pretty women are the best at deceiving people, aren't they! Help, help me! We're on the same side! At least take down the Rose Witch before you run away—!"

A deafening roar echoed within the witch's barrier. Leng Chang felt utterly helpless, standing before the Rose Witch who had handed him the bank card, under immense pressure. Watching the Rose Witch's trembling body, he sensed the witch's rage.

It's certain that the moment he takes the bank card, he will be attacked by the witch.

But it doesn't matter!

Leng Chang's expression calmed down, and he turned to look at the Rose Witch with composure, but his hand was already clenched into a fist in front of his eyes, and his arm was trembling from excessive force.

"I finally fell for you, and you made me lose so completely! Damn it!"

His facial muscles clenched as his angry voice boomed, his fury erupting like a volcanic eruption. A second later, his furious eyes fell upon the Rose Witch, icy cold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and took the Rose Witch's bank card with swift and graceful movements, leaving no trace.

Then he sprinted away into the distance with a chop-like motion.

"As long as we get to that place...as long as we get to that place—!!"

Leng Chang screamed as she ran, her short hair disheveled as she ran, pouting as she charged forward with all her might, completely ignoring the reaction of the Rose Witch behind her.

"roar-!!"

The Rose Witch, realizing what was happening, let out a deafening roar, her voice filled with unforgivable rage. Her tentacles shot out once more, slicing through the air with a whistling sound.

At the same time, the golden ring behind Leng Chang began to spin, and the sound of gears turning could be heard.

Thud!

Ultimate skill extraction completed!

The next ultimate skill has been drawn!

"Attack! Attack! Attack the teeth!"

Leng Chang ran, his face tense, screaming, the wind stinging his face. When the tentacles attacked from behind, his flip-flops made a tractor-like sound as they trotted across the ground.

I've already drawn the ultimate skill—[Meteor Shower]—and launched myself to unleash a powerful attack!

YA☆DA次ZE!

It's an attack!

No child cries forever! No gambler loses forever! Wuhu! Take off!

and many more?

A shooting star?

His face was tense, his muscles stiffening from the rapid changes in his expression, and his gaping mouth could only manage a weak, strained sound. By the time Leng Chang realized what was happening, it was too late to fight.

"Caw! I don't want to! I don't want to take off like this!"

The good news is takeoff!

The bad news is takeoff!

Light! It burst forth!

A white light bloomed beneath Leng Chang's feet as he ran, and his body emitted light at the same time. His running body didn't stop, nor could it. In an instant, Leng Chang transformed into a shooting star, soaring into the air and tracing a perfect arc through the witch's barrier, before making a sharp 360-degree turn…

It crashed down on the Rose Witch!

"Damn it!!"

"Huh?" The Rose Witch asked politely.

boom-!!!

A white explosion erupted from the ground, its terrifying blast wave sweeping across the surroundings like a white hole erupting during a magnitude 50 earthquake, filled with light so intense it would burn your eyes. As the impact spread, the ground cracked, and rocks were swept away by the shockwave.

Click!

After a sound like shattering glass, the witch's barrier crumbled like broken glass. The falling fragments shimmered with a white light, and the entire witch's barrier vanished in that instant as the witch was destroyed.

Leng Chang collapsed on the blocked path after the witch's barrier shattered, his whole body limp, his buttocks sticking out, his heart ashen, his face as white as paper, devoid of any fighting spirit, his will completely extinguished.

"Um...are you alright? Should we call an ambulance?"

Suddenly, a clear, girlish voice rang out beside Leng Chang. Her short pink hair swayed in the breeze, and a bright red ribbon tied her hair into pigtails. Her pink eyes were fixed on Leng Chang, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out and burning out, and her eyes were full of worry.

She squatted down beside Leng Chang, showing concern for him.

Chapter Six: As expected of a veteran anime waifu!

Lying on the ground, Leng Chang, looking exhausted, turned his head to look. His cheeks rubbed against the ground, leaving marks. But when he saw who was squatting next to him, the corners of his mouth turned up in a friendly smile, like the joy of someone recovering from a serious illness.

"Thank you, no need." Leng Chang propped himself up with his hands to sit cross-legged, his dusty face smiling as he looked at Kaname Madoka in front of him.

To everyone's surprise, Madoka Kaname looked down at her little schoolbag, fiddling with something inside. Soon, she pulled out a pink handkerchief, made of very high-quality material.

She took out a handkerchief, gently raised her hand, and held it in front of Leng Chang's eyes. The handkerchief was half-opened by gravity and glided across the fair skin of his palm. It was very smooth. At this moment, a breeze stirred up the handkerchief, spreading its faint fragrance.

"Here, wipe your face." Madoka Kaname's eyes were kind, as if she had met an acquaintance. She smiled warmly, her lips curving into a friendly smile. As the wind stirred, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if all the colors around her had vanished, leaving only her own color in the world.

"I can't accept this..." Leng Chang was caught off guard by this sudden kindness. He waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, his heart was full of emotion, and his eyes softened as he looked at Kaname Madoka.

What a kind person! No wonder she's a long-time favorite anime waifu!

How could we let this go!

As if struck by a thought, Leng Bai's already cracked lips stretched even wider, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light—the excitement and triumph of someone about to reveal their hand.

Homura Akemi! Akemi Homura!

Since you don't trust me and aren't willing to be my teammate... then don't blame me for being ruthless!

It seems that Madoka hasn't met Kyubey yet, which is really great.

Splashy!

So from this moment on, I am Cupid!

Next, I will walk Kyubey's path, leaving Kyubey with nowhere to go! I will even make Homura Akemi feel despair!

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!

"Don't you need to?" Madoka Kaname tilted her head, her short pink hair swaying across her cheek.

"Need not."

Leng Chang nodded seriously, casually patting his face to brush off the dust. Then, his mind raced with thoughts as he silently stared at Madoka Kaname before him.

The initial encounter has already occurred; I need to arrange the subsequent events according to the established plot.

Come on! Let my brain cells burn! Use your ten years of experience reading online novels to create this strategy!

I can feel it! The plot is about to unfold!

Oh, and there's foreshadowing!

"Girl, I have a comic book here for you to buy for 500 yen."

As he spoke, Leng Chang pulled a copy of the manga "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" from his pocket. It had been uploaded to a shared space in the chat group. Leng Chang had prepared everything before taking action; after all, this was no joke, and the necessary preparations were essential.

"Eh?"

Kaname Madoka made a questioning sound, staring straight at Leng Chang. The sudden situation left her bewildered. Her head, which was already tilted, tilted even more, and the short hair on her cheeks stood up even more straight.

"You think 500 yen is too expensive? How about 200?" Leng Chang squinted mysteriously, rubbing his chin. He didn't give Kaname Madoka any time to react before drastically lowering the price.

They even stopped performing altogether, saying, "200 is too expensive? You're so greedy, I'll just give it to you for free."

After saying that, Leng Chang swiftly handed the comic book to Kaname Madoka without giving her any chance to react.

Then, he leaped up from the ground with a powerful kick and sprinted down the street, leaving behind the sound of his flip-flops hitting the ground.

"No need to thank me, we'll meet again! Here you go, Luda!"

"Eh?"

Kaname Madoka let out a bewildered sound, turning her head to look in the direction Leng Chang had left, her eyes filled with a clear bewilderment, even her breath seemed to catch in her throat. The comic book in her arms felt somewhat hard and cold to her, but the handkerchief she hadn't offered was still so soft.

"I just don't understand," she sighed, her chest sinking slightly as she let out a breath.

Scratching his head, not understanding what had happened, he looked down at the comic book in his arms—"Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Madoka?

It has the same name as me! The character is so cute, and the clothes are so pretty. Why does this little round figure look so much like me?

Well, I'll go back and take a look.

Having understood the situation, Madoka Kaname didn't think much of it. She stuffed her handkerchief and comic book back into her small schoolbag and headed home. Before long, she and Sayaka, who had just returned from shopping, went home together.

......

The next day, Takimihara Junior High School.

Madoka Kaname sat in the classroom, feeling the morning breeze blowing in through the window, her twin ponytails tied with a red ribbon swaying gently at that moment.

Books and notebooks were already laid out on the brown wooden desk in front of her, all bearing the name Kaname Madoka on their covers. The morning air was a little cool; you could even feel the chill lingering in your chest after inhaling it. The chirping of birds came from the branches outside the classroom window.
