"Thank you so much this time. I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Aya felt that perhaps Aine's presence made Kuroe somewhat uncomfortable; she felt that Kuroe was noticeably more reserved than before.
Watching Kuroe's departing figure, Aine remained silent for a long time.
"Miss Aine, is there a problem with Kuroe-kun?"
Seeing this, Aya couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Yayu, are you sure you can manage on your own from now on?"
"Oh, I'm fine."
"That's good. I'll go check on Heijiang. I'm a little worried about her."
There was no way around it; Kuroe's current appearance was just too much like her close friend from back then. Because of her, her friend had ultimately given up her dream, an experience that had caused Aine great pain.
If Aine hadn't met Kasumi Toyama early on and been guided by her, she would probably still be hiding her talent and playing house at this time, wasting a lot of time, and it would have been impossible for her to achieve true transformation at the age of fourteen.
"Aine-chan, you're really different from me. You're a genius, so you can't possibly understand the feelings of an ordinary person like me."
The voice of a childhood friend reappeared in my mind.
"Saying that I can't understand is just you talking to yourself!"
Biting her lip, Aine quickened her pace to catch up with Heijiang.
"Have you ever once thought of opening up to me?"
Yes, an ordinary person.
From Kuroe's expression, Aine sensed just that kind of feeling.
Kuroe's magic level is very low, even lower than Iroha's, barely reaching B-rank. She is an ordinary, unremarkable girl.
Unlike Iroha, a magical girl with immense untapped potential, Kuroe's potential is already capped.
That's why Aine was so worried. She knew all too well what would become of an ordinary person who hid their true feelings and insisted on staying away from geniuses.
Soon, Aine saw Kuroe back in her sight. Kuroe seemed to be searching for something, and after seeing a symbol that looked like a bird spreading its wings, she smiled with relief.
"found it."
Then, we entered the building with the double-winged symbol.
“There are traces of magic.”
After entering the Kuroe River, Aine also arrived at the entrance. Just by glancing at the sign, Aine realized that it was engraved with magic power, and would not be visible at all without magic power.
Following Kuroe inside, Aine soon heard people talking.
"Can the Wings of Magis truly end the fate of magical girls?"
That was Kuroe's voice. Then, Aine saw two girls wearing white trench coats that obscured their faces standing in front of Kuroe.
"You came here because you believed it, didn't you?"
One of the girls in white spoke up.
"That's why the Wings of Magis were founded."
Hei Jiang hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward.
"Then I am willing to join the Wings of Magis."
"Welcome, then please accept this."
Then another girl in white reached out her hand, holding a badge with the same design as the one outside.
Kuroe reached out to take it, but halfway there, her hand was grabbed by Aine.
"Seriously, I finally caught up with you."
"Miss Aine?"
Hei Jiang looked at Aine in surprise, seemingly not expecting that Aine would actually follow him.
"How can you so easily trust an organization that looks so suspicious? You believe whatever others say. You should really think about it!"
Ai-yin took Hei-jiang's hand and walked outside, while turning her head to smile apologetically at the two girls in white.
"I'm sorry, my friend went to the wrong place. We'll leave now."
"Miss Aine, wait!"
Just as Hei Jiang was about to say something, suddenly, Aine pulled her close to her, and at the same time, the sound of weapons clashing rang in her ears.
Hei Jiang then realized that one of the two men in white had attacked them.
It was a huge hammer, enough to kill a person, but in front of the hammer, a long spear was placed against it, completely stopping the hammer from falling.
"Um, what do you mean by this?"
Ai Yin tilted her head.
"Huh? You're the one who disregarded our opinions and wanted to take our members away, and you're asking us what we mean?"
"Didn't I already say that Kuroe has taken the wrong path?"
Suddenly retracting the spear caused the giant hammer magical girl to lose her balance. Before she could regain her footing, a spear swept across her. Seeing this, the giant hammer magical girl could only cover herself with magic power, and then, unsurprisingly, she was sent flying.
"But it seems that you won't let us go unless we beat you down."
Releasing her embrace from Kuroe, Aine spoke to him.
"Hei Jiang, you should be more careful next time. Stay away from these unscrupulous organizations that force people to join if they can't recruit you."
"Miss Aine, I..."
"Shhh."
Kuroe wanted to say something, but Aine blocked Kuroe's lips with her index finger, then slowly withdrew it, the tip of her finger touching Kuroe's lips as she did so.
"We'll talk about it later."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the two members of the Wings of Magis in front of him.
"Then let's finish this quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, six spears identical to the magical spear in Aine's hand appeared beside her, and the pressure of the magic caused the earth to tremble.
Seeing this, the two members of the Wings of Magis each picked up their weapons and stood ready for battle.
mygo!!!!!:Chapter 102 Believe Me
bang
Loud explosions continued to erupt, and after five minutes, the sounds gradually subsided.
Fortunately, the Wings of Magis' stronghold was built in a remote area where few people pass by; otherwise, people would have wondered which demolition company was so violent as to blow up a house.
"No no no."
两名
The members of Magis Wings collapsed to the ground, seeing stars. Aine clapped her hands and came to Kuroe's side.
“Heijiang, let’s have a chat.”
"well..."
Hei Jiang nodded. "Hey, there are still two magical girls lying there over there. How could she dare to say it's bad?"
XX Park, Kamihama City
Aine and Kuroe walked one after the other along the garden paths in the park.
Following behind Aine, Kuroe was nervous and uneasy. She didn't understand why Aine was paying attention to her affairs when they had only just met that day.
Besides, didn't we agree to have a proper chat? What does it mean that you haven't said a single word since the beginning?
"Um, Miss Aine..."
"Hei Jiang, is joining the Wings of Magis your purpose in coming to Kamihama City?"
"Ah, um."
Hearing Ai-yin's question, Hei-jiang felt somewhat uneasy.
"Because they say they can end the fate of magical girls."
"Does Kuroe regret becoming a magical girl?"
Aiyin stopped and turned to look at Heijiang.
"No, that's not how it is."
Kuroe doesn't regret becoming a magical girl, if it weren't for the fact that she had to fight witches, or if she weren't so ordinary.
After all, the reason she became a magical girl was because she also had a wish that she wanted to fulfill but couldn't, which is why she made a contract with Kyubey.
"So, are you afraid of fighting witches?"
Hei Jiang looked up in surprise; she hadn't expected Aine to see right through her.
"I...."
Kuroe lowered her head and remained silent. Seeing her like this, Aine knew she had guessed correctly.
"Kuroe is really amazing."
"Ugh?"
She thought Aine would scold her, saying that as a magical girl, she was afraid to fight witches, so she shouldn't have become a magical girl in the first place, and so on.
But Kuroe never expected that Aine would say such a thing.
"Even though you're so scared, you still force yourself to fight witches all the time. Is it because you're afraid the witches will hurt humans?"
If it were only to deal with the corrupted Soul Gem with the Seed of Lamentation, one only needed to occasionally hunt down witches. However, even after arriving in Kamihama City, knowing that the witches there were far stronger than those in other cities, Kuroe still chose to enter the witch's barrier upon seeing it.
"I... I'm not that good."
As if remembering something, Kuroe bit his lip.
"No, I genuinely think Kuroe is amazing."
Aine walked up to Kuroe and cupped her face in her hands.
"I have a group of seniors I respect very much. Like you, even though they are very scared, they still do their best to protect others."
Two years ago, when facing the Flame King, Aine didn't know how the others fared, but Xiangcheng was genuinely terrified and trembling with fear.
Aiyin witnessed Xiangcheng standing before her, her legs trembling, yet she remained standing there. Finally, together with the others, they "pushed" the Flame King back into the Zero Realm.
"It's different from what Ms. Aine and her seniors did."
"What's different?"
Ai Yin's voice seems to possess a magical quality that makes people lower their guard and open their hearts.
Aine knew from the beginning that someone like Kuroe wouldn't easily open up, so she used some tricks.
"I once stood by and watched someone die without offering any help..."
Under Aine's gentle voice, Kuroe unknowingly revealed what he had been hiding all along.
She once saved a magical girl, who was very weak, even weaker than her!
Hei Jiang knew that he was not strong, so the moment he saw the magical girl, he knew that the girl in front of him would have a hard time dealing with familiars. Even the weakest of the witches was not something the girl in front of him could defeat alone.
That's why she felt guilty about lying later, because the magical girl's Soul Gem had become very murky and desperately needed a Seed of Grief.
However, Kuroe lied. She deceived the magical girl, saying that she didn't have a Seed of Lamentation, but in reality, she had one.
However, she obtained this one only after risking her life to defeat the witch. Once she gave it to that magical girl, she might not be able to obtain a new Seed of Lamentation next time.
Normally, this kind of thing is perfectly normal. Hei Jiang had already saved the girl's life, which was more than enough, since the two were just strangers.
In Aine's opinion, Kuroe was being stubborn. After that, she could no longer see the girl and believed that she was the one who killed her. But in reality, even if Kuroe had given her the Seed of Sorrow, it would only have quenched her thirst temporarily.
"Kuroe is so kind."
She gently embraced Hei Jiang, causing Hei Jiang's body to stiffen.
"Is that why you're in so much pain, wanting to end your magical girl destiny?"
