Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

The Tale of Nirvana: Staying True to One's Heart: Chapter 119 - We Won!

An abandoned amusement park in the suburbs of Luwei Plain.

The abandoned amusement park in the real world is small and old, and has been closed for more than ten years. However, because of its remote location, no one has taken care of it, so it has been abandoned here. Under the scorching sun, the rusty iron sheet metal is heated to a scorching heat.

In the same location, within the barrier of the witch [Hanayashiki], there is also an abandoned amusement park.

The sky inside the barrier was a dazzling magenta. Just like in reality, the amusement park was deserted and abandoned on the outskirts of the city, with only crows for company.

The lonely castle, under the magenta sky, resembled a demon castle from a story, filled with eeriness and foreboding.

The barrier gate was a toy dog ​​with its mouth wide open, just like the old Disney dog ​​named Bruce. If this place still had its former liveliness, this gaping gate wouldn't be anything strange.

Now, under the dim, magenta sky, it looks like a mouth that devours everything.

Through this giant mouth, cheerful music and the witch's song floated in the air.

We are abandoned children, we are abandoned children, we are abandoned children.

The amusement park rides came to life, with drums and gongs, and colorful decorations, in the otherwise deserted amusement park...

No, there are people in the amusement park. These rides, which seem to have come alive like Night at the Museum, are chasing after a tiny black dot.

A fluffy pink creature led the way, followed by a group of carousels that looked like stop-motion animations and a life-sized wooden mascot.

"Why am I given this job that always attracts hatred again?!"

Aiyin ran wildly, tears streaming down her face.

"Because everyone has their own things to do, Aine-chan just happens to be in charge of this part."

Su Shi was the one who answered. She was standing at the top of the drop tower, overlooking the entire amusement park. From here, she could clearly see the location of each of her teammates in the amusement park.

Aine is being chased by a bunch of familiars in the main square, Riki is preparing to snipe the witch at the vertical limit, and the giant doll, more than 20 meters tall, is the witch herself, wandering aimlessly throughout the amusement park.

"If the plan goes smoothly, you only need to buy yourself another thirty seconds."

"Easier said than done! Why can't you be the one to do it!"

"You run fast."

"Where's Rakuna-chan?! She's faster than me!"

"Lena went to seduce the witch's true form, do you want to go?" Su Shi squatted at the top of the drop tower, which was more than 50 meters high, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the witch, who was half the height of the drop tower.

"After dawdling for almost a week, is this really a reliable solution...? Ahh! They're catching up soon!"

"Then run as fast as you can~ Don't let them catch up." Su Shi wished Aine well while turning her gaze towards the Vertical Limit Roller Coaster, focusing her attention on Li Xi who was there. "How are you preparing, Li Xi?"

--"Um."

In the control room of the Vertical Limit roller coaster, Li Xi absentmindedly stared at the lights of the amusement park not far away.

The amusement park was huge, and there were countless familiars. The witches were also the type with thick skin and tough flesh. Unless Lixi pulled her dragon armor to its maximum power, she wouldn't even be able to break through their skin. Although that's how they usually did it, the problem was that Lixi's magic cost too much. If she couldn't control the witches, she simply couldn't unleash this ultimate move.

But how can they control a witch who is over twenty meters tall, who can easily crush them into pancakes with a single kick?

This problem never existed in the old Crychic. Lixi's almost one-for-one ultimate move was always used by Xiangzi as a trump card. Crychic never encountered a witch who made them reveal their trump card until they disbanded. Now that Lixi has stepped up, she finds herself revealing her trump card every time she fights.

I never expected there would be a situation where even the trump card is hard to reveal.

Lixi was in a low mood for several days, and even yesterday she was so desperate that she wanted to run away.

In the end, they couldn't even get inside the barrier. The lamp, which they devised in just a few words, gave them their last hope:

One attracts the hatred of the familiars, keeping them as far away from the witch as possible; one observes from a high vantage point, providing overall information; one lies in wait, sniping the witch and delivering a fatal blow; and one controls the witch's movement trajectory, guiding her to a location that provides sniping opportunities for a third party.

The flash of inspiration from the lamp required four people to complete, and fortunately, although the fourth person was not very reliable, he eventually arrived.

“‘Yes,’ Su Shi asked again. ‘Is everything OK?’”

Su Shi's words brought Li Xi back to her senses. She nodded and responded.

"Ah."

"Lixi-chan, you should be more certain when you speak, okay? Speaking so uncertainly can easily give people the impression that you're not determined, even though I know Lixi is definitely confident." Su Shi said slowly, "

"Tsk."

A distinct click of the tongue came from Li Xi's side.

"Everything is ready. We're waiting for your command."

"Got it," Su Shi replied with a smile. "I'll notify you to start the roller coaster after Lena-chan reaches the first marker, and then remind you again after reaching the second marker, right?"

"Correct."

“Lena has reached the first marker,” Su Shi said. “You can get ready, Li Xi.”

"Huh?! So fast?!" Li Xi's voice sounded noticeably more flustered.

She hurriedly pressed the switch, rushed out of the control room, and jumped onto the roller coaster.

Pulled by the tracks, the roller coaster slowly drove off the platform and began to climb upwards.

"Well, after all, she's Ryuna-chan." Su Shi smiled helplessly, picked up her wand, and stood up. "I'm going to link up too. You must fly high."

"I am self-aware."

Li Xi knelt on the front row of seats on the roller coaster, huffing and puffing as the roller coaster went up.

Upon reaching the highest point, the amusement park scenery comes into view.

The amusement park was deserted, all the rides were working, and cheerful music filled the sky. Accompanied by witches' words that the riders couldn't understand, a teddy bear-like witch, more than twenty meters tall, was chasing a small black dot, gradually approaching from a distance.

Its body, over twenty meters tall, causes the ground to tremble violently with every step it takes.

"Lena has reached the second marker."

“Everything is ready.” Lixi took a deep breath.

“Received, countdown to five…” Su Shi’s wand began to glow. “By the way, Le Nai said I should treat her to a matcha parfait later.”

The roller coaster was suspended in mid-air at its highest point when it suddenly came to a stop.

"..."

Li Xi swallowed her words back at this.

This is a classic trick of roller coasters: deliberately stop at the highest point to scare the riders.

Li Xi's lips twitched, and he gripped the back of the chair, his fingers clenching so hard that the veins bulged.

"......one."

Su Shi's countdown skipped the middle stages and went straight to the last note.

Boom!

With a deafening roar of the tracks, the roller coaster plummeted downwards.

According to the detailed plan devised by Lamp based on the suggestion, when Lena guides the witch to a fixed location, she needs to use the acceleration of the vertical extreme roller coaster from top to bottom, and jump at the moment before entering the turning track after reaching the lowest point and going up again. This would allow Su Shi to link the two of them at the limit distance of the magic release when Li Xi flies to the highest point, sharing the damage, and using the dragon armor with the highest output to punch that guy in the head.

Just like it is now.

"Special trait: Damage sharing".

The silk thread connected Lixi and Sushi, and a fiery meteor ignited in the dark red sky.

"Dragon Armor Possession!"

Ai-ne, who had lured all the familiars to the place furthest from the witch, jumped onto the roller coaster that circled the amusement park. The roller coaster traveled on a loop track, and from the top, one could have a panoramic view of the entire amusement park.

A shooting star appeared in the empty sky above the amusement park.

It pierced through the colossal object, which was over twenty meters tall, and the witch's body burst into brilliant fireworks, with countless fireworks blooming, fading, and scattering.

The firelight illuminated Aine's face, and the disappearing shooting star and the blooming fireworks were reflected in Aine's eyes.

"I'm so envious..."

She tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear, looking somewhat forlorn, and murmured to herself.

"When will I be able to shine like that?"

The Tale of Nirvana: Keeping to Your True Self: Chapter 120 - The Escape

"Yes! We won! Perfect execution!"

After the barrier disappeared, Aine ran up to Riki, who was almost roasted to a crisp, and reached out her hand to give her a high five.

"A single, decisive blow! That's awesome! This is a huge success!"

However, the charcoal in front of her made her hesitate for a moment.

"So noisy! This is a huge success!"

The charred man—no, I mean Riki—raised his hand while Aine hesitated, and gently bumped Aine's palm with his still-unopenable fist. His charred vocal cords couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.

"Congratulations!" Deng stood next to them and clapped his hands.

"It's all thanks to Deng's suggestion, otherwise we wouldn't have had such a smooth journey." Su Shi picked up the Seed of Sorrow from the ground, waved her staff, and first healed Li Xi's wounds.

The charred skin rapidly regenerated and peeled off under the amplification of the healing magic. In just a few seconds, Lixi, who had just been a lump of charcoal, returned to her normal appearance.

Su Shi carefully put away the Seed of Sorrow, then took out another seed from her pocket and tossed it to Li Xi.

Li Xi didn't even look up as he caught the Seed of Sorrow that Su Shi threw at him, dispelling the filth that was mostly overflowing with it.

"—Has it been resolved?"

A girl with heterochromatic eyes darted out from between them, her fluffy hair brushing against Lixi's face.

"Is it okay to live now?"

"Okay, okay, okay, the live performance is this afternoon." Riki rubbed her forehead, looking exasperated. "Seriously, what was the point of you becoming a magical girl in the first place...?"

"Can not remember."

"Huh? How could I not remember that?"

"Lixi."

"What?"

"live."

"Didn't you say the live show was this afternoon?"

"Matcha Buffy."

"You can't find matcha parfait to eat in the middle of nowhere."

"live."

"Ugh... I really don't understand what you're thinking."

"Actually, I just want to eat something. Renai-chan is so easy to understand yet so hard to understand, just like a cat." Aine pushed Riki's back and walked out of the abandoned amusement park. "If we all go to RiNG together, we'll have matcha parfait and live music, right?"

The group of people walked back and forth on the road, joking and bickering.

Su Shi followed beside them, maintaining a mask-like smile, occasionally interjecting with a few words to smooth things over, until, without anyone noticing, Su Shi fell to the back, and when no one could see her expression, her gentle smile could no longer be maintained.

Even Lixi started playing with them.

Su Shi subconsciously bit her nails as she thought.

Live......Will Xiangzi come?

If things continue like this, is there any chance for Xiangzi to come back?

============

Want to go back?

Xiangzi squatted alone at the entrance of the barrier, lost in thought.

Actually, it wasn't me who had the Witch's Kiss on me, it was them. If I wanted to escape, I didn't need to take them with me.

Give up on pointless fantasies and go back to Chu Hua and say, "I give up. It's better to run away."

Chu Hua will definitely agree.

After all, Chu Hua has always been so indulgent towards herself, as has Mu. As for Miao Meng and Hai Ling, they are outsiders, so it's fine to let the people at the gathering help them break the witch's kiss.

No, no, no... what am I thinking?
