Want to be human, but cube-like

After thinking for a moment, Alex cut out some wooden planks and raised herself up by more than twenty blocks until she was almost level with the bottom of the vault. Then she stopped and quickly built a small, unfinished box in mid-air, which took her more than two sets of wooden planks.

The reason for raising it so high is to prevent it from being submerged by the golden liquid later.

After putting down the bed and lying on it for a while, Alex got up, switched to the nameless sword [Puppet], and used a wall jump to leap directly out of the small box, landing gently on the ground.

Even if she is killed by the witch tonight, she will only be resurrected in this barrier, unless the witch can destroy her bed.

But the other party is most likely unaware of that.

After making all the preparations, Alex checked the order of her inventory, put on the leather armor, and headed straight into the building.

She didn't plan to attack the familiars directly. As things stood, these familiars and witches didn't seem to be hostile or aggressive towards her. If possible, Alex preferred to rescue Shoko's father, Toyokawa Kiyoko, first, and then deal with other matters.

After all, having a hostage inside would indeed cause her some concerns.

Just as Alex had expected, she continued upwards, and all the familiars she encountered ignored her presence, as if they had forgotten her, as if her experience the previous night had been a lie.

It's also possible that my appearance in this leather outfit is so different from yesterday that they don't recognize me?

Alex glanced down at herself, who was now completely wrapped up with only her small face showing, and made a casual guess.

Presumably because the main structure of the barrier was built according to the construction site, some floors were obviously not yet completed and there was no way to go up. Alex had to use her sword to double jump from time to time to move around. When she encountered some floors that were too high, she had to cut out wooden planks to stand on to get up.

Before long, Alex arrived at the bottom level of the vault.

A dozen or so familiars wandered around here, acting like ordinary neutral creatures, showing no reaction to her arrival.

Alex ignored them and simply placed the wooden planks on top of them.

The vault door was always open, hanging on the roof like a magnified safe. Although it was all gold inside, Alex peeked out from below, jumped up, and glanced inside. She then realized that the gold was just the color of the inner wall of the safe; there was no treasure inside at all—it was completely empty.

A middle-aged man lay curled up on the ground, his eyes closed, his body rising and falling slightly, but otherwise there was no other movement.

The health bar above her head still had about one-sixth of its health remaining, and she had the Witch's Kiss debuff on her body. From Alex's perspective, the situation was actually not too bad.

Perhaps the creatures in this world are more fragile. In Kyubey's words, can this state be described as being on the verge of death?

She didn't investigate further, but looked up at the other side, where the giant witch was lying there, seemingly in poor condition, with the amount of health on her head unchanged from when she died the night before.

[80%]

Now, in this spacious and bright setting, Alex can finally see the witch in her entirety.

Beneath the enormous roulette wheel that served as the head was a black curtain, riddled with holes like a rag, which she had torn open the night before. Looking through the holes, it was pitch black inside, and even in such bright light, one could not see what lay within.

Beneath the darkness, four thick arms emerged, wrapped in a black substance that resembled a suit. Below that were four gloved hands.

The banker witch clearly noticed her presence, but just like the first time they met, the roulette wheel simply turned towards Alex, stared at her for a few seconds, and then ignored her and turned its head back.

Since they were ignoring her, Alex simply took the person away.

But just as Alex jumped into the vault with this thought in mind and headed towards Toyokawa Kiyotaka, she noticed that the familiars on the minimap seemed to be getting restless.

It was clearly because she was getting closer to Toyokawa Kiyoko that she became hostile towards her.

They're quite possessive of their food.

But if that's the case, Alex won't be able to save people first.

Taking Toyokawa Kiyotaka with him to face the familiar's pursuit will only lead to repeating the same mistakes and falling into a situation almost identical to last night.

Either you're being chased by a familiar, or you're being chased by a witch after attacking a familiar.

pick one of two.

However, compared to choosing one of the two options, Alex has a third, better choice.

Ignoring the witch lying motionless not far away, Alex walked to the edge and looked down. A large group of familiars had already gathered below.

The familiars seemed unable to climb up, and it was unclear how they managed to transport Toyokawa Kiyoshi into the vault.

Then let's clear the area first.

Cut out the nameless sword [Puppet], next to which is the sharp sword [White Sheath]. Alex then places a backpack full of nameless swords [Puppet] into her inventory, and can switch the location of the backpack with a thought.

She leaped forward lightly, then brought her hand down with a powerful strike.

"Boom!"

The white light fell to the ground like silk threads, followed by a dull thud. Then, the familiars gathered directly below were instantly killed or wounded, with most of them dying instantly.

at the same time.

"—!"

A piercing shriek came from overhead.

The familiars that were just jumping around her suddenly scattered like birds and beasts. Alex looked up and saw a huge shadow covering the sky above her.

"boom--!"

The enormous monster crashed to the ground, and in the dust it kicked up, a beam of eerie blue light pierced through the mist and penetrated the witch's body.

"Now it's round two."

Before the whispers had faded, the silver-haired girl had vanished.

PS: How can they even censor the title and chapter number? I'm speechless. I really can't stand it.

But I still have to endure it.

Volume 1: Chapter 65 Why did Xiangzi's father spit up milk?

At this moment, the witch's barrier was already a vast ocean.

The construction site was already submerged, with a golden liquid six or seven meters deep completely soaking the first and second floors of the building. The familiars, who did not want to melt into the liquid, were forced to keep climbing upwards.

The enormous witch clung to the building's wall like a giant four-legged spider, waving her arms, trying to strike the silver-haired girl who kept teleporting to its head to attack and then disappearing again.

Gold and jewels shot out from its wheel, streaking across the sky like dazzling fireworks, but they couldn't touch a single hair on Alex's head.

The banker witch continued to shed golden liquid, like her tears, but even more like her sins.

Gently stepping on the witch's palm, before the witch could react, Alex raised her sharp blade, the White Sheath, and slashed horizontally along the arm that had been cut countless times and was now barely connected.

[1%]

During the battle, the witch, whose body was gradually becoming tattered, finally lost an arm after letting out a mournful cry.

It could no longer hold onto the building's walls and load-bearing columns, and its body fell helplessly backward, plummeting into the golden sea.

Alex leaped up again, drawing her blade and pointing the tip at the enormous roulette wheel that was no longer as dazzling as before.

A silvery-white light sliced ​​through the night sky, forming a thin line that pierced straight into the center of the roulette wheel.

[0%]

The Banker Witch's health has reached zero.

Alex stepped onto the giant wheel and plunged into the golden ocean.

"Crack!"

The white sheath of her sword let out a mournful cry and broke in half, the silver blade embedded in the witch's head. It was submerged in the golden liquid along with the roulette wheel, leaving only half of the blade on the hilt, which Alex held in her hand.

Before the surrounding golden liquid could surge towards the center and engulf her, the surrounding scene suddenly began to become illusory.

The next moment, I felt the solid ground beneath my feet.

Holding the broken blade, Alex looked up and saw that her surroundings had returned to the way they had looked when she was outside the witch's barrier looking into the construction site.

The traces of damage from the previous battle between the two had disappeared, leaving only the broken blades of the nameless sword [Puppet] stuck all over the ground, and the broken tip of the sharp sword [White Sheath] beside him.

The 20-meter-high box that was built before the battle is still there, and you can also see the wooden planks she used to step on to climb up the building in the distance.

Besides that, there was Toyokawa Kiyoshi lying not far away, unconscious. Judging from his health, it seemed to be slightly lower than before the battle, which should have been a natural decrease over time. Other than that, he was fine, and even the Witch's Kiss on his body had disappeared.

Walking up to the broken tip of the white-sheathed sword stuck in the ground, Alex picked up a black bead from the ground beside her.

The outer side of the bead is decorated with silver patterns, somewhat like the patterns Alex saw on Xiangzi's lower abdomen, on the gold coin-shaped Witch's Kiss. ​​Above the bead is a small sculpture shaped like a gold coin, and below it is a thin, sharp spike.

Anyway, it doesn't look like a decoration that can be placed on a table, and its pitch-black appearance probably isn't very appealing.

"This is the seed of lamentation."

At that moment, Kyubey's voice rang out, and Alex looked away from the beads.

She looked at the white creature beside her.

"That is, the witch's egg. If it is left here, the witch will be hatched again after absorbing enough negative emotions."

Kyubey took the initiative to explain the black bead on Alex's hand.

"That sounds pretty dangerous."

Pinching it between her index finger and thumb, Alex raised it to her face and took a closer look. She then discovered that the bead was actually filled with pitch-black mist.

There was a sense of unease within it.

"However, as a spoil of war obtained by defeating the witch, the Seed of Lamentation also plays a very important role. It is an important resource for magical girls to restore their magic power."

Upon hearing this, Alex paused in her action of putting the bag back in her backpack.

"Should I save this for another magical girl?"

After all, the Seed of Lamentation was useless to her. Alex had just checked it, and like other items in this world, the Seed of Lamentation's item attributes in her inventory were also a jumble of characters.

"Unfortunately, there are currently no magical girls in Tokyo."

But unexpectedly, Cupid suddenly spoke.

"...So, that's why you've always wanted me to sign a contract with Xiangzi to become a magical girl?"

Alex turned to look at Kyubey with some surprise and asked.

"If you and Xiangzi both become magical girls, then the people in this city should be safer."

Cupid did not answer directly; it simply replied as follows.

"That's not necessary."

Alex was clearly not interested in this, and she shook her head.

“The witch isn’t a very strong enemy. You just saw it yourself. I dealt with her very easily. If you need help, I can help deal with the witches in this city. In exchange, you won’t need to bother Xiangzi and me anymore.”

She really doesn't need the power of a magical girl. After all, according to Kyubey, becoming a magical girl would mean worrying about the depletion of magic power, which would be completely unnecessary for Alex.

Ignoring Kyubey, Alex quickly ran around, collected all the broken sword fragments on the ground into her backpack and transformed them into Broken Radiant Souls. Then she dismantled the small box and the bed inside.

Only then did she have time to check on Toyokawa Kiyoko's condition.

Alex wasn't worried about the man at all, since she could always see his health bar and didn't need to worry about him suddenly being in any danger.

In short, we need to feed him something first to restore his health to full.

After rummaging through her backpack, Alex found a lion's head meatball dish.

As a main course made from two pork chops, it can restore six bars of hunger and nine and a half bars of saturation, and also provides three minutes of three buffs: [Nourishment], [Comfort], and [Resistance Boost].

One serving is more than enough to fully restore his health.

Speaking of which, this was the breakfast Alex made for Xiangzi this morning, but she couldn't finish it and left it untouched.

Now it's perfect for Xiangzi's father to eat.

Alex, holding a plate, stuffed a large portion of meatballs, oozing with aroma, into the man's mouth. She watched as he seemed half-asleep, probably starving, and swallowed the food instinctively.

Then he choked.

Perhaps it was due to suffocation, but Alex watched as Toyokawa Kiyoshi's health would be fully restored by several buffs, then drop a little, and then be fully restored again, repeating this cycle over and over.

His expression grew increasingly pained.

"really weird……"

Muttered

Alex couldn't understand why eating could cause choking.

She thought for a moment and took out the large bucket of milk from her backpack.
