Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

".....Um."

After a moment of silence, the girl nodded in agreement.

The child barely spoke a few words after being brought back.

Every magical girl who falls into witchhood has a tragic story to tell.

Even though she was rescued, those events still left a deep shadow on her.

Later, perhaps someone will enter her life, enlighten her, and help her get out of that shadow.

But this person shouldn't be her.

Looking at the girl who resembled a wounded little animal, the Holy Emperor thought to himself.

"Are there any Soul Gems that have been corrupted? The Seed of Lamentation."

Haruto Misaki looked at Sougo Tokiwa and asked.

Although I am quite confident in my own judgment.

However, Haruto Misaka does not intend to test it directly on the girl unless necessary.

Let's at least experiment with the Seed of Lamentation first.

"Woz."

Without responding to Haruto Soma's words, Sougo Tokiwa shouted into the air.

The next second, a gray scarf appeared out of thin air, and Black Woz emerged from it.

"big boss."

Offering the Seed of Lamentation with one hand, Black Woz also held a struggling familiar in his other hand.

This is the familiar of the witch he encountered on his way back.

Thinking it might be useful, I grabbed one without thinking.

"Give."

After receiving the Lament Seed from Black Woz, Tokiwa Sougo handed it to Soma Haruto.

"Take the rest to Li Dou."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

With a tug on his scarf, Black Woz disappeared from the room.

Dan Kuroto arrived in this world a little later than Masashi Haruto.

Dan Kuroto prefers to do his research alone in the lab rather than hanging out with others.

After all, for Dan Kuroto, doing research with others would only slow down his own progress.

There aren't many people who can keep up with your thinking, let alone study together.

Kiryu Sento from the Heisei era was one, but he didn't come.

Those highly intelligent old scoundrels from the Showa era were also like that.

However, since everyone's research focuses on different areas, Dan Kuroto rarely interacts with those people.

Part of the reason is that the serious older generation didn't really like Dan Kuroto's quirky personality.

However, Dan Kuroto would never admit that.

After Black Woz left, Haruto Soma also began to study the Seed of Lamentation in his possession.

Normally, negative emotions can indeed affect one's own strength.

However, due to despair or simply failing to use the Seed of Grief to purify the Soul Gem in time, one will become a witch.

This is just too strange.

Even the Phantom was born because of external interference.

For example, the Demon Feast, or the Phantom finding and enticing people with powerful magic.

The magical girl's power is affected by even slight emotional fluctuations.

This is further linked to the fact that Kyubey's goal was to collect the emotions of young girls and convert them into energy.

It's almost as if the purpose of this power is to corrupt the user and turn them into a witch.

That's pretty much the case.

An adorable, unknown creature suddenly appears and approaches you, offering to make a contract with you, granting you power and fulfilling your wishes.

There is no such good thing.

After signing the contract, you not only have to fight the witch, but you also have to be careful not to taint your soul gem.

If not purified in time, the soul gem will become impure.

The Seed of Lamentation, which can purify the Soul Gem, is dropped after defeating the Witch.

It's clearly forcing magical girls to fight.

The corruption of the Soul Gem is less due to the influence of the witch and more due to the pressure accumulated by the magical girl in battle.

The pressure of battle, the anguish of being injured, and other emotions manifest as the taint of the Soul Gem.

Once this pressure reaches its limit, it will explode and devour the magical girl.

The Soul Gem can also turn into a seed of lamentation.

Then a new witch is formed.

Accumulated stress corrupted her soul gem, turning her into a witch.

What Haruto Misaki needs to do now is to sever the connection between these three.

Even accumulating stress and despair will not corrupt the Soul Gem, nor will it cause one to fall into becoming a witch.

In this way, the Soul Gem would become something similar to the Lich's Life Box.

As long as the phylactery is not destroyed, the lich will not die.

Magical Girl's Soul Gem can't achieve such an exaggerated level.

However, reducing the magical girl's pain and weaknesses, turning fatal wounds into serious injuries, and serious injuries into minor injuries, is still possible.

Of course, there's nothing that can be done about injuries that are certain to kill.

For example, something like losing one's head (crossed out).

The magic circle in his hand shone like a dazzling gemstone, and as Haruto Misaki focused all his efforts on analyzing it, the structure of the Lament Seed was gradually revealed to him.

At this moment, Haruto Soma's eyes seemed to be sparkling.

On the other side, Dan Kuroto is also analyzing the Seed of Lamentation in his own way.

Unlike Haruto Misaki, Kuroto Dan thought that since the Seed of Sorrow would degenerate into a witch after being corrupted,

Why not just go with the flow and develop it into something like an advanced form?

After all, becoming a witch grants considerable power, potentially allowing one to defeat enemies that were previously invincible.

As long as we can ensure that the magical girl's mind is not consumed and that she can exit afterward, is that enough?

Emotional energies such as despair and stress are not only used by the Incubators.

Among them, the most representative are undoubtedly Yak et al.

If this can really be achieved, magical girl battles might then turn into situations where girls find themselves unable to win as they fight.

Driven by despair, they burst forth with new forms.

There's a strange sense of déjà vu about this.

Scratching his hair, Dan Kuroto thought with some confusion.

Chapter 961, Section 982: The Girl's Resolve

Madoka Kaname is an ordinary junior high school student at Mitakihara Municipal Academy.

Today, Madoka Kaname continues to live her familiar, ordinary daily life.

She goes to school with her childhood friend, Sayaka Miki.

Watching the teacher, who had just gotten over a breakup but hadn't completely moved on, ramble on about love.

This is Madoka Kaname's daily life.

That's how it should normally be.

However, a small incident recently occurred in Madoka Kaname's life.

Because a transfer student came to the class.

That person named Homura Akemi is amazing.

They are excellent in both academics and sports.

Although she felt a bit cold, Madoka Kaname always sensed that the other person wanted to approach her, but was afraid to.

why?

Madoka Kaname is acting strangely.

I am clearly just an ordinary student.

I'm not good at anything.

Thinking of this, Madoka Kaname suddenly felt a little down.

Speaking of which, Kaname Madoka has been hearing some strange noises occasionally these past few days.

It sounded like a little girl saying something, but each time the voice disappeared before I could hear it clearly.

I had absolutely no clue how to find it.

It's as if it doesn't exist at all.

This caused Madoka Kaname a lot of distress, making her wonder if she had some kind of mental problem.

After all, this situation is indeed very strange.

If you're not mentally unstable, then it can only be a ghost story.

That sounds even worse.

No matter what the situation was, Madoka Kaname was too afraid to tell her parents.

Let's leave aside the ghost story for now.

Most families are terrified of mental health issues.

It seems like something terrifying.

In fact, most of these problems, like ordinary illnesses, can be treated through scientific methods.

Some parents simply don't care, thinking that their children are just being difficult and that a beating will solve the problem.

Or they might overreact and make a big fuss.

It doesn't feel good no matter what the situation is.

In the end, Madoka Kaname decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

Go to school first.

If the problem persists, then talk to your parents.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"

Sayaka Miki, standing to the side, looked at Madoka Kaname with some curiosity.

The other person seems a bit listless these past few days.

Did you not get enough rest?

Or......

Has someone you care about appeared?
