I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

Unlike those who always want to save the world and become heroes, Madoka's wish is so small that it can only be held in the palm of her hand.

"There is no right to refuse, what's going on?"

Squinting his eyes, Kazushi Kadoya's tone became heavy and serious, and it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood something.

"When talking about this matter, we have to involve the true origin of Xiaoyan and the magical girl. I have explained it to you briefly before, but before that, I want to ask, how much do you know about time travel?"

Time travel, this term is not difficult to understand for modern people. Ever since a scientist in the past came up with the theory of time travel, works on related themes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. No matter who you are, you will always wonder, if your past self had made a different choice at a certain moment, would you have a better ending?

After being stunned for a moment, Asami subconsciously asked Madoka in a rhetorical tone: "Time travel...that kind of thing should only exist in science fiction stories, right?" However, perhaps because he was recalling a certain Heisei cancer, Kadoya Kadoya's expression was quite subtle.

"You are right, Senior Mami. The theory of traveling back in time only exists on paper. It is impossible to do it with the technology of humans in this world. But what if we use the power of a magical girl?"

The power of magical girls, after all, is essentially high-end alien technology that humans cannot understand or use. However, based on the case that Madoka knows, I'm afraid that even Kyubey and the others cannot fully master that technology. If they could master it, Homura Akemi would not have inadvertently used a bug to stack Madoka's cause and effect to a level that could rewrite the universe.

"Using the power of a magical girl to travel through time, from a certain time period in the future to a time period in the past, is time travel in the popular sense."

"I see, time travel? This child came back from the future..." Because he had been exposed to time travel in other worlds, Kazuto Kazuya told the truth before Madoka could reveal the answer.

Although Kazuto Kazuya's voice was very plain, it sounded like a bolt of thunder to others. The people at the scene were silent for a moment, and then seemed to explode.

"future?"

"That's not possible anyway..."

"This kid..."

The surprise was only temporary, and everyone soon returned to normal.

"That's right. Homura is the magical girl who came back from two weeks in the future, and she has come back more than once, just to save Madoka Kaname who was deceived by Kyubey, that's all." Gently holding Homura's trembling hand, Madoka winked at her, as if to say that everything that comes next is up to me.

"Wait, being tricked by Kyubey? What's going on?"

As if realizing something, Mami's face turned slightly pale.

"Literally, Senior Mami, just as I said, not only me in a certain timeline, but you are also a victim. Let's not talk about that for now. Senior, I want to ask you one thing. Do you really understand what magical girls are? Even if it doesn't involve the most core principles, you should at least have the most basic understanding, right?"

The cruel and pathetic nature of magical girls cannot be avoided when it comes to issues involving Homura Akemi, and Sayaka hasn't become a magical girl yet. Scare her with this matter, and maybe she will give up, which is also a good thing for her.

"How were witches born? Why can magical girls use the seeds of sorrow dropped by witches to purify the filth of soul gems? Why do the seeds of sorrow hatch again after absorbing too much filth? Haven't you asked Kyubey about these questions?"

PS: I picked Abi by single draw, what about you?

Chapter 35: The Essence of a Magical Girl is...

"The nature of a magical girl?"

Faced with Xiaoyuan's question, Asami was slightly stunned.

The nature of magical girls, is it really necessary to ask such questions? Isn't the so-called magical girl's existence to defeat evil witches and protect humans in secret?

Mami wanted to answer like this, but after noticing Madoka's serious and earnest look, she realized that she was not joking. It seemed that the magical girls were hiding some secrets or hidden dangers.

But according to the information Kyubey once revealed to Mami, there were magical girls and witches active on this planet in the Middle Ages and even earlier. If there really is some problem with magical girls themselves, then why has no magical girl ever discovered it?

Or...the magical girls who knew the truth are already...dead?

"As expected, you know nothing, Senior Mami. So listen carefully. The final destination of a magical girl is a witch. Once the Soul Gem is completely polluted, it will transform into a Seed of Sorrow. At the same time, the original magical girl will also transform into a witch in despair."

Madoka's tone was very calm, without any emotion at all, but to Mami, those plain words sounded like thunder exploding in her ears.

The sunlight shining through the glass on her body was clearly very warm, but at the moment Mami could not feel any warmth. A chill spread down her back and she felt as if she was in an ice cellar.

She originally wanted to question why Madoka made such an excessive joke, but Homura Akemi next to her seemed to know what she wanted to say. Under Asami's gaze, Homura Akemi just nodded silently.

Obviously, this news that makes people want to deny from the bottom of their hearts is an undeniable fact.

"Why can the Seeds of Sorrow purify the Soul Gem? It's very simple. It's just pouring filth from one container into another. Why does Kyubey recycle and reuse the Seeds of Sorrow several times, accumulating a large amount of filth? It's very simple, because they are about to hatch new witches... Hatcher, this is Kyubey's real name, um, very descriptive, right?"

The truth about the magical girl must be confessed. It may seem cruel, but instead of drowning in a beautiful dream and only finding out the truth right before she falls into depravity and becomes a witch, why not tell Asami now?

"What a joke... I've never heard of such a thing!"

The girl's face looked very ugly, so pale that it was almost impossible to find a trace of blood on it.

"Okay, let me ask you a question, Mami-san. If you knew that signing a contract to become a magical girl would eventually turn you into a witch, would you still sign the contract?"

Mami's parents died in a car accident, and the reason why Mami survived was because she signed a contract with Kyubey and made a wish not to die. If it weren't for Kyubey, she would probably have died in the accident.

"Then I might as well die! If the witch was once a magical girl, then what about the battles I've experienced!" Tears rolled down her bloodless cheeks, and Madoka could even hear the hesitation and trembling in Asami's voice.

Doesn't this mean that every witch she killed was once a living human being like herself? !

Yes, every time she defeated a witch, it meant that she killed a person, and sooner or later she would become a witch and become a real monster.

Subconsciously, I looked at the mirror next to me.

What the mirror reflected was not the beautiful and youthful figure of a young girl... it was... a monster covered in blood, which looked hideous at first glance.

……

"Is this really good?"

Looking at Natsu Mikan accompanying the distraught Mami home, Madoka glanced at Kadoya Tsuyoshi with her eyes slanted.

"That girl is idle anyway, and Xia Mikan is a knight after all, so her safety can be guaranteed. It would be fine to let her take care of her for a while."

No, I'm not worried about Asami, but Natsu Mikan... After all, this is the world of yuri anime. Although it is a world of magical girls (who can do anything except magic) with a curious (turnaround) but healing and warm (no happy ending) theme, are you really not afraid that your wife will be kidnapped by other girls?

"By the way...the girl with blue hair...what's her name, Xiao Shuang?"

After scratching his already messy hair to make it even more messy, Kazuto Kadoya suddenly asked about Sayaka.

"It's Sayaka, as a teacher you should at least remember your students' names!"

"But I'm just a music teacher, not a class teacher. Can't I just call the names on the list and teach them casually?"

Anyway, it's just an identity given to him by the world for his convenience. Other worlds have also given Kadoya Kadoya many identities, such as a lawyer who decides the outcome of a knight duel. He is just a passing Kamen Rider, and he eats and lives at Xia Mikan's house, so it doesn't matter if he is fired for absenteeism.

Work and most importantly, be happy.

"Tsk, salary thief."

There was no rebuttal to Madoka, Kadoya didn't care about this level of criticism at all.

"That kid wanted to make a wish to Kyubey in order to heal the hand of the boy he liked, right?"

"Yes, but after the truth about the magical girl was revealed to her, I'm afraid she won't bring up such boring thoughts again in the short term... Although it's a bit selfish to say this, there's nothing wrong in hoping that your friends can live as normal people, right?"

Stay away from fighting and death, enjoy a comfortable campus life as an ordinary girl, enter high school normally, make more friends, get admitted to the university of your choice, and marry the one you love... Wouldn't that be perfect?

As a friend, Madoka sincerely hopes that Sayaka can live as a normal person instead of becoming a magical girl and living a dangerous life where she doesn't know when she might die.

"Indeed, I am thankful that this world is not so pathetic that adults have to enslave underage girls to fight monsters. It is a beautiful world."

"Wait...enslaving underage girls, Kadoya Shikamaru, what kind of world did you go to before..." For some reason, Madoka always had an impression of the world that Kadoya Shikamaru was talking about, or it should be a sense of déjà vu.

"Pitch-black loli? No, I seem to have heard of it from some knights who can predict the future. It seems to be called something like pitch-black bullet? It's a very strange world. It's clearly the end of the world, but adults rely on underage girls to fight monsters, and at the same time discriminate against and abuse them... It's really disgusting."

"..."

Although she doesn't know why, Madoka always feels that Kadoya's journey is really hard.

Chapter 36 The End of the Story and the Beginning of the Story

Magical girls will eventually become witches. This is an inevitable fate and an unchangeable fact.

There are many things in this world that are cruel and merciless. I am not an omniscient and omnipotent God. Faced with a reality where there is no mercy at all, there is nothing I can do except sit at the table and sigh.

There are no gods in this world, nor are there magic or miracles. Praying for the impossible to become possible... what cannot be done is only humans themselves. According to the normal script, Kaname Madoka became the Principle of the Circle. It was not a god's fault, a god who controlled the laws of countless parallel universes. But it was also a human's resistance to fate, sacrificing one's own existence and cause and effect as a human being in exchange for the happiness of everyone except oneself.

She is noble and impeccable. Compared to her despicable self, she is like the unbridgeable gap between the jewel in the crown and the frog's piss in the sewer.

The real Madoka is like a carefully crafted work of art by a completionist, symbolizing the pinnacle of the pure girlish spirit. If anything, it is almost impossible for such a person to exist in reality... The original Madoka was too idealistic, like a rocket-headed Kamen Rider who wanted to make friends with the entire universe.

Although Mami Tomoe should be fine with Natsu Mikan taking care of her, and Madoka just talked to her on the phone, she still feels a little uneasy, which is really worrying.

There is no reason.

I just felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and the air around me felt stagnant.

This is probably the oppressive feeling before a storm comes, right?

The tip of the pen lightly scratches the date on the calendar. Xiaoyuan doesn't have many days left. She is about to face suffocating darkness and despair, but she is happy every day since she came to this world. It is different from the past when she lived in a daze and sometimes couldn't even remember what she had eaten the night before. Although it is just an ordinary daily routine, every little bit of life and every smile of her family and classmates are deeply imprinted in her mind.

In order to better play the role of Madoka Kaname, "he" read Kaname Madoka's old diary, but he only skimmed through it once and never read it again. The pure emotions revealed between the lines without a trace of gloom made her feel ashamed.

Still, it’s a great story.

There are no carefully crafted words, no plots deliberately created to cater to readers, and no tragic plots. There are only ordinary daily routines that make people feel warm, and the records of dates stop abruptly until the day before the car accident.

Ah... it was when the family was on their way to the amusement park. But it looks like everything turned out well, as only Yuan was injured. It seems that her situation is better than that of the senior whose entire family died.

After that, Xiaoyuan carefully preserved the diary and sealed it in a drawer.

That was not her story, so there was no need for her to add anything extra. Kaname Madoka's story ended here.

The new diary that Xiaoyuan is using now is just blank. She didn’t write anything on it, but it is the carrier for writing a new chapter.

"… Kaname Madoka, you know, I'm very happy."

Staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror, Xiaoyuan silently unzipped her collar.

I saw black nerves that seemed to have life wriggling at the collarbone, trying to spread above the neck. Those were nerves extending from the spiritual stone Yamadam. Other Kuga's transformers should have similar things, but Madoka's situation was a little strange.

Is it because their bodies are not fully developed, so they are more easily eroded than adults?

Or is it that she simply cannot control Kuuga's power, which is why it is eroded so quickly?

Will he die? Or will he become a fighting machine?

Well, that kind of thing doesn't matter anyway. Anyway, Xiaoyuan has never regretted her transformation since her first transformation. Since she has no regrets, there is nothing to talk about. Xiaoyuan has no fear about her future. The only thing she worries about is the safety of her family and friends.

"What on earth am I saying... I'm suddenly becoming sentimental. Could it be that after seeing Mami Tomoe's fragile appearance, I'm starting to waver as well?"

In the blink of an eye, there are only two weeks left, and the countdown to the end is about to begin.

However, that is two weeks later, so no matter how much Madoka worries, it is meaningless. All she can do is believe in herself... and Kadoya Kadoya, and fight with all her might.

I won't go on patrol tonight...

It's just one night, and she's not some righteous worker. Why should she sacrifice her personal time to clear out the witches every night? No one will die if she doesn't go for one night anyway...and it's probably because she's bored and can't find anything else to do except fighting witches.

I don't know why I have no interest in the two-dimensional industry in this world. What's more important is that I have limited funds. My monthly pocket money is only 5000 yen, and one volume (2 episodes) of animation costs at least 4000 yen... This is what it's like to be so poor that I am autistic. Although there is a way to ask Homura Akemi for money, if it is Madoka who goes to negotiate, Homura Akemi will probably be very happy, but she really can't bring herself to do it.

"Come to think of it, Xunzi seemed to have said before that we should go to the amusement park together this weekend. Does that mean we can only ask Onodera to take care of the trip to Kazamino to find Sakura Anko?" This is a rare opportunity to build a good relationship with his parents, and he cannot let it go no matter what. Besides, Xiaoyuan had already promised Xunzi, and there is no way to refuse now.

Well, the senior is in a depressed state and needs Mikan Natsu's care. Sayaka is an ordinary person, and if she lets her go, Madoka will be a little worried. Homura Akemi will probably not want to leave Mitakihara. After all, she is staring at Madoka almost all the time. In the end, we can only ask Onodera for help... If we let Kadoya go, who knows if he will find it interesting and fight with Kyoko.

"Hmm..." Lying on the bed, Xiaoyuan, who was not sleepy, took out her cell phone to check the time. It was already one o'clock in the morning.

Amusement park?... Before I traveled through time, when I was still "him", if I remember correctly, I went there with my younger brother, and there seemed to be a girl there, her name... I can't remember it for some reason, probably just a classmate. There's nothing I can do about it, those were all things that happened during my college years. So many years have passed, and there's nothing I can do about it if I can't remember it.

Occasionally, take a nap, right?

What's more, Madoka also wanted to ask about the Ultimate Dark Eye in her dream.

Although it seemed like a suicidal behavior, Xiaoyuan knew that instead of running away, what she needed to do was to face it without flinching or wavering.

PS: The amusement park later on is an important turning point in the plot. Madoka will have a new form (laughs). It is also the prerequisite for the appearance of the Second Rider and the node for Madoka to move towards the ultimate. The Second Rider is a character who has already appeared, not a new original character.

The only choice now is whether someone should sacrifice themselves as part of the story of Kamen Rider.

At the end of this volume, there will be Kaname Madoka's ultimate transformation. Of course, it is not the final one, so I won't spoil more ()

1. Someone died

2. Grand Reunion.jpg

Chapter 37: The Knight's Reflection (I Kill Myself)

The death of silence.

If I were to describe Madoka's dream, these four words would be enough.

In the entire city, all living things had long since died. Nothing was left except corpses. Not even cries of despair were heard. Everyone died quietly.
