It wasn't just the fear of death that Heijiang feared most; he was even more afraid of seeing himself fail to save someone in their time of need.
"I...."
Heijiang gritted his teeth.
"I don't want to continue being a magical girl."
Tears welled up in Heijiang's eyes and streamed down Aine's shoulder, soaking her clothes.
"How long am I supposed to continue being a magical girl?"
"Then, instead of trusting a wicked organization like the Wings of Magis, why not trust me, Kuroe?"
"Miss Aine?"
Kuroe was shocked, and then her body was released, revealing Aine's resolute face.
"I will end this so-called false destiny of magical girls. As for being a magical girl, I don't want Kuroe to give up so easily."
"But I..."
Hei Jiang hesitated for a moment.
"Ah, I'm not referring to the fake magical girl you are now, but to the real magical girl!"
That's right, magical girls who are destined for a tragic end are not real magical girls!
"Miss Aine, what does this mean?"
False? Real?
Heijiang didn't understand.
"I'm looking for someone right now. She's my most trusted teammate. Once I find her, I'm sure I can solve the problem of the Soul Gem being tainted in your magical girl world."
Regarding the issue of the Soul Gem being murky, Aine studied the Soul Gems of Iroha and Yachiyo, and the final conclusion she reached was...
This isn't her area of expertise; she should just wash up and go to bed.
Aine extended her hand to Kuroe.
"So, Kuroe-kun, stay by my side and witness with your own eyes how I will pave a path that will make you no longer afraid and allow all magical girls to be proud of being magical girls!"
PS: When I watched the Puella Magi Madoka Magica spin-off, I had this hope that the heroine could save Kuroe, but she didn't succeed in the end, which made me a little sad. So I've arranged it this way here, and also to see how Mujica's later plot will be arranged.
If it gets too outrageous, it'll turn into something like episode seven.
For something like that, cough cough, I should consider changing the introduction, handing over one of the remaining five people to Hei Jiang, and replacing the other four as well.
This is just a temporary idea; let's see how it unfolds in the later episodes. Fortunately, it hasn't been explicitly stated that the five people from Mujica are the remaining five eligible candidates.
mygo!!!!!:Chapter 103 The Origin of the Ghost Story
Mikazuki-so, Aine brought Kuroe here.
"Hey Hei Jiang, you're here too!"
Aya first saw Kuroe behind Aine, and Kuroe also bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Huan."
"Miss Yachiyo, would you mind having one more person here?"
Ai-yin touched the back of her head and laughed.
"Hey, you've already brought them back, what can I say?"
Yachiyo sighed and prepared slippers.
"Please come in."
"excuse me."
And so, through Aine's introduction, Mikazuki-so gained another guest.
夜晚
An uninvited guest arrived on the outskirts of Kamahama City.
"Is this Kamihama City, Kyubey?"
The girl had yellow twin ponytails, with the ends of her hair resembling a spiral drill.
The girl's name is Tomoe Mami, a magical girl from Mitakigen City. She came to Kamihama City at Kyubey's request to investigate what happened there.
Because, strangely enough, witches in other cities have almost disappeared, but in Kamihama City, several witches appear every day, as if all the witches have moved to Kamihama City.
This is a very abnormal phenomenon.
"Yes."
Cupid swished his tail.
"Since I can't get into Kamahama City, I have no choice but to ask you for help, Mami."
"It doesn't really affect me."
Tomoe Mami shook her head.
"But, Kyubey, are you really unable to enter Kamibama City? I don't see any obstacles."
Mami Tomoe entered and then came out of Kamahama City, looking at Kyubey with a puzzled expression. She didn't sense anything unusual.
"I don't know what happened either."
Kyubey was not lying. Almost all of Kyubey's clones in Kamibama City lost contact almost instantly, and not a single message was sent out.
Kyubey had tried to enter Kamihama City to investigate, but all his efforts were in vain. In desperation, Kyubey had no choice but to ask Mami Tomoe, an experienced magical girl, for help.
"Alright, I'll head over now."
"Yes, I'll wait for your good news."
After Mami Tomoe entered Kamahama City, Kyubey did not leave; its ruby-like eyes were very deep.
Raise your head.
"Oh dear, really, to throw in a variable at this crucial moment, what are you up to, Chief of Staff?"
Just two days ago, Kyubey noticed that his spiritual magic had been temporarily dispelled. The familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy made Kyubey instantly realize the identity of the person who had come.
Serial number 10, the Undying Hot Wind, is also the Legion's Chief of Staff.
Kyubey, already troubled by Homura Akemi's constant time restarts from Genji's side, which had delayed things, and then by the unexpected events in Kamihama City during this loop, was now in an even worse mood due to the Undying Hot Wind.
Yes, Kyubey knows where Homura Akemi, who can restart time, got this magic from. Looking around this barrier, who else could it be but her?
Huh? You're saying Kyubey can't lie? Then why was he able to say he didn't know Homura Akemi's background when facing Mami Tomoe?
That's ridiculous. What does the incubator's lie have to do with me, Cupid?
"But no matter what, we must get our hands on the Nine Universe Star Ring. We've been planning for fifty years, and we've finally seen a glimmer of hope."
The succession of the Lord of the Underworld is of paramount importance to us.
The next afternoon
Aine took Kuroe out, since Iroha was going somewhere with Yachiyo, so Aine didn't plan to go with Iroha. Besides, they had already left in the morning.
"So, something's really wrong with the situation in Kamihama City right now?"
On the way, Ai heard Kuroe talk about the current situation in Kamihama City, so she asked him about it.
"Ah."
Heijiang nodded.
"It's already strange that Kyubey can't move around in Kamibama City, not to mention the strange way the witches appear here."
Witches are generally ethereal and unseen by ordinary people, but in Kamibama City, it's different. The existence of witches is known to everyone as a supernatural tale.
Even if you don't necessarily believe it, at least you know that such a thing exists.
"In addition, witches from other cities have recently disappeared, so it probably won't be long before magical girls from other cities come to Kamihama City to find out what's going on."
"Magical girls from other cities?"
Ai asked.
"Like that one?"
Although Aine didn't know if the other person came from another city, the other person was at least a magical girl.
"Ok?"
At that moment, the red-haired girl with a single ponytail, who was eating an apple, noticed Aine and Kuroe.
"Oh dear, I just went out and ran into a colleague."
Aine could sense that the girl in front of her had a higher level of magic power than Yachiyo, whom she had seen before.
Although both are in the AAA rank, this red-haired girl's magic power is already infinitely close to S rank.
"Sakura Kyoko".
Xingzi walked over while taking a bite of an apple.
Can I ask you something?
"Chihaya Aine."
Aine seemed quite willing.
"Ms. Sakura, is there something you need?"
"Just call me Xingzi, no need to add 'Miss' to my name."
Kyoko opened her mouth slightly, and Aine could see her little tiger tooth.
"So, with so many witches in Kamihama City, do you have any clues?"
"I'm sorry, we've only been in Kamihama City for a short time and we're not very familiar with the situation here."
Aine looked apologetic, which made Kyoko shake her head.
"It's alright. By the way, aren't you guys from Kamihama City either?"
"No, so we probably don't know much more than you do. All we know is that the witches of Kamihama City were born through ghost stories."
“Miss Aine, this is something I’ve wanted to say before.”
At this moment, Hei Jiang suddenly spoke up.
"Regarding the strange tales about witches, I once heard a rumor that these tales seem to have originated from within the Wings of Magis."
"The Wings of Magis? That suspicious organization you wanted to join yesterday?"
"Ah."
Heijiang nodded.
"It sounds like this could be a breakthrough."
Xingzi finished the last bite of the apple.
"Thanks, I'll investigate in that direction. Bye."
Kyoko came and went quickly, but Kuroe's words made Aine somewhat concerned.
"The voice I heard back in Tokyo, it must have been a ghost story, right? I came here because of ghost stories, so..."
Could tomorin also be related to this?
Aine started talking to herself, and then immediately pulled Kuroe towards Kyoko.
"Miss Aine?"
“I suspect my friend’s disappearance might be related to ghost stories. Kuroe, let’s follow that Kyoko.”
"Eh?"
"Since she said that, she probably knows some clues about the Wings of Magis. In any case, let's hurry up and follow her."
Fortunately, Kyoko wasn't walking very fast, so she looked at the two people who had followed her with a puzzled expression.
"Um, Aine, is it okay for you to call me that?"
