Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Akiyama Mio waved away Tianzhong Ritsu's arm, took two steps back, and looked at him coldly: "Xiao Li, isn't it time for you to grow up a little?"

[After saying this, Akiyama Mio turned and left.]

[Taizhong Ritsu felt as if he had been shot in the chest. He knelt on the ground, raised his hand to Akiyama Mio, and shouted, "No!"]

Yamanaka Sawako said in surprise, "Although the experiences of the two rounds are somewhat similar, did Xiao Mio and Xiao Ritsu already have a conflict in the last round?"

Akiyama Mio said confusedly: "I don't know, I've never had any conflicts with Xiaolu."

Kotobuki said in surprise, "Has this changed since then? Didn't Mio from last week join the light music club?"

Hirasawa Yui touched his head and said, "I haven't dreamed about Xiao Mio either."

Nakano Azusa asked curiously, "Then who will replace Mio-senpai and join the light music club?"

The answer was revealed immediately.

Due to Taichu Ritsu's insistence, Kotobuki joined the light music club. Hirasawa Yui, who came to visit, was persuaded by the two to join the light music club. Since they were still short of one more person, Hirasawa Yui also brought Manabe Kazuya into the light music club, making the four members complete.

The next afternoon, Hirasawa Yui walked towards the club room. On the stairs to the third floor, Akiyama Mio appeared in front of her.

Hirasawa Yui raised her head and looked curiously at Akiyama Mio who was stopping her. Suddenly, she remembered that Akiyama Mio was the girl in her dreams and asked excitedly, "Are you the one..."

Without waiting for Hirasawa Yui to finish her words, Akiyama Mio asked, "Hirasawa Yui, do you think your life is precious? Do you value your family and friends?"

Hirasawa Yui said, puzzled, "Well, I do... I really value my family and friends. They're all very dear to me and very important to me."

Akiyama Mio asked, "Really?"

Hirasawa Yui excitedly said, "Really? I won't lie!"

Akiyama Mio said coldly, "Is that so? If that's true, then you must never think of becoming someone different from who you are now. Otherwise, you will lose everything. Just live as Hirasawa Yui, just like you have been until now, and from now on."

At this time, Tian Zhongli appeared from the third floor. Seeing the two people standing in the middle of the stairs, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Wei? Mio? Why are you standing here?"

Akiyama Mio glanced back at Taichu Ritsu and said, "Nothing."

[After saying this, Akiyama Mio went downstairs and left.]

Hirasawa Yui was confused and watched Akiyama Mio leave. Then, she and Tianzhong Ritsu walked towards the light music club classroom.

Hirasawa Yui hugged her body with both hands and trembled: "Mio suddenly became so scary!"

Nakano Azusa said: "Strange, why is Mio-senpai like this? Mio-senpai is obviously very gentle."

There was only confusion on Akiyama Mio's face. Was that really something she would say?

It feels a bit far-fetched and like a threat.

Kotobuki said thoughtfully, "Is what Xiao Mio said related to that dream?"

Yamanaka Sawako, who was not concerned about the matter, said leisurely: "You will know if you keep watching. The reason will definitely be revealed later. However, speaking of this, Xiao Mio is also very cute. She is a cold beauty!"

Akiyama Mio blushed in embarrassment.

[When they arrived at the club room, Hirasawa Yui told Tainaka Ritsu what Akiyama Mio had said to her.]

[Taichu Ritsu grumbled, "What's that? Super Electric Wave Girl? Mio suddenly became so cold, I thought something was wrong, but it turns out she's developed a Chuunibyou syndrome."]

Manabe asked with concern: "Yui, is this really the first time you and Akiyama-san met?"

Hirasawa Yui thought for a moment and said, "That's common sense."

[Taizhong Ritsu asked: "What do you mean? Do you have any clues on a non-common sense level?"]

Hirasawa Yui said foolishly, "Well, on the first night of school, I seemed to have seen her in a dream..."

Manabe Kazu, Tainaka Ritsu, and Kotobuki all laughed: "Hahahaha."

[Tai Nakagura said with great joy: "Do you want to be a radio girl too?"]

Hirasawa Yui puffed up her cheeks: "That's too much! I was seriously worried."

Tian Zhongli waved his hand and smiled, "That's for sure. This is karma from your past lives. You two are destined companions who have traveled through time and space to meet each other."

Manabe Kazu asked, "What kind of dream was it?"

Hirasawa Yui said, "I don't remember that very clearly, I just remember it was a strange dream."

Manabe speculated, "Perhaps she actually did meet Akiyama-san. Even if Yui thinks she doesn't remember, she may have left an impression on her deep within her mind, and that might be reflected in her dream."

[Taizhong Ritsu grumbled, "This is too far-fetched, isn't it? How much of a coincidence does it have to be?"]

Manabe Kazu smiled and said, "That's right."

Chapter 104: Transformation

[The following Saturday, in order to help Hirasawa Yui and Manabe Kazu buy the instruments they wanted, the four members of the light music club started working part-time.]

Hirasawa Yui and Tainaka Ritsu are in one group, while Kotobuki and Manabe Kazu are in another. The four of them go to the shopping mall to distribute flyers.

"Save me."

Hirasawa Yui, who was distributing flyers, suddenly heard someone calling for help.

Hirasawa Yui looked around, but saw no one.

"Save me, Wei, please save me."

Hirasawa Yui put down the work at hand and looked for the direction from which the sound came.

"Who? Who is it?"

After walking through the corridors and stairs, passing under the sign that read "Notification of Interior Renovation: Floor Closed for Renovation," Hirasawa Yui reached the third floor of the shopping mall.

[“Save me!”]

[Hirasawa Yui walked deeper into the dim light, her cry receiving no response.]

[“Bang!”]

[Covered in blood, Kyubey fell from a height and lay on the ground, unable to move.]

Hirasawa Yui quickly picked up Kyubey and asked, "Is that you?"

[Quppy pleads for help: "Save me."]

A figure leaped down from the sky. In front of Hirasawa Yui, a girl in bizarre clothing appeared. Hirasawa Yui looked surprised: "Mio?"

Akiyama Mio said coldly, "Leave this guy."

Hirasawa Yui protected Kyubey and said fearfully, "But... the child is injured. No! Don't do anything harsh to him!"

Akiyama Mio walks towards Hirasawa Yui step by step, her voice cold: "This has nothing to do with you."

Hirasawa Yui retorted, "But the child was calling me, and I heard its cry for help."

Akiyama Mio walked up to Hirasawa Yui and said coldly, "Really?"

Suddenly, thick smoke engulfed Akiyama Mio's body. Tianzhong Ritsu attacked with a fire extinguisher not far away and shouted to Hirasawa Yui, "Xiaowei, over here!"

Hirasawa Yui rushed over, holding Kyubey in her arms: "Ritsu-chan!"

[Taizhong Ritsu throws away the fire extinguisher and runs out quickly with Hirasawa Yui.]

The smoke dissipated, and Akiyama Mio raised her shield-carrying arm. At that moment, a strange image emerged in the air behind her, and a distorted fairy tale world gradually overshadowed reality.

Akiyama Mio mutters to herself, "It just happened to be at a time like this."

In the dimly lit corridor on the third floor of the shopping mall, Ritsu Tainaka and Yui Hirasawa ran towards the emergency exit, one after the other.

[Taizhong Ritsu grumbled, "What's that Mio up to? Is she cosplaying a murderer this time? By the way, what is that thing? It's not a doll, is it? Is it a living thing?"]

Hirasawa Yui said, "I don't know. Even though I don't know, I must save it."

The space gradually changes, with strange patterns and eerie scenery covering the third floor of the shopping mall.

Tianzhong Ritsu paused and said in surprise, "Huh? Where's the emergency exit? Where is this place?"

Hirasawa Yui and Tianzhong Ritsu stood back to back, facing the rapidly changing and flickering scenery around them, and said anxiously, "This place is so strange, the road keeps changing."

[Tai Nakagiri said angrily: "Really, what on earth happened?"]

Hirasawa Yui felt a chill on his back and turned to look behind him. "There's something there!"

Something resembling a radish leaf rose from the ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a puppet's large mustache. The white puppets jumped and sang an eerie nursery rhyme, surrounding Hirasawa Yui and Tianzhong Ritsu. Pitch-black branches spread across the air, chains twisted in the sky, and black and yellow eyeballs flew out of the puppets' eye sockets.

Tian Zhongli was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he shouted excitedly: "Are you kidding me? Am I having a nightmare? Am I right, Xiaowei?"

[Suddenly, a bright light erupted from the ground, and all the strange puppets disappeared in the light.]

[Tai Naka Ritsu hugs Hirasawa Yui and says in surprise: "Oh! This is..."]

"It was really dangerous, but it doesn't matter now."

A calm female voice sounded from behind. Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui separated and turned to see Kotobuki approaching them, holding a glowing gem in both hands. "Oh, you saved Kyubey! Thank you! He's my most important friend."

[Tai Nakagura shouted in surprise: "??! What the hell is going on?"]

Hirasawa Yui holds Kyubey in her arms and says to Kotobuki, "It called me. The child's voice is right in my head..."

Kotobuki suddenly realized: "I see. However, before I explain the situation, I need to finish my work first."

Kotobuki breaks into a ballet dance, her toes drawing glowing circles on the ground. She throws a glowing gem into the air. She clasps her hands together and extends them forward. The gem lands in front of her palms, emitting a dazzling golden hue. This transforms Kotobuki, who was already wearing her school uniform, into a fitted dress.

Qinchui flew through the sky, waving his arms. Countless guns stood upright in the air, firing a large number of golden bullets at the ground. The light of the bullets completely covered the distorted field, causing a violent explosion.

Kotobuki landed gracefully on the ground. Tianzhong Ritsu was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. Hirasawa Yui also exclaimed in amazement, "How amazing!"

[The next moment, the distorted world returned to normal, and Akiyama Mio appeared in front of the three of them.]

Kotobuki smiled and said to Akiyama Mio, "The witch has escaped. If you want to kill her, chase her quickly. I'll let you do it this time."

Akiyama Mio said coldly, "What I'm looking for is..."

Kotobuki interrupted Akiyama Mio forcefully, "You're really clueless. I was trying to let you go."

【Akiyama Mio looked at Kotobuki coldly.】

[Kotobuki said: "We all don't want to get into unnecessary trouble, right?"]

[Kotobuki and Akiyama Mio stared at each other for a moment, then Akiyama Mio turned and disappeared.]

In the light music section, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Akiyama Mio had already been squatting under the table, holding her head and shivering.

The witch's barrier was too scary, and Akiyama Mio's little heart couldn't bear it.

Hirasawa Yui looked at Kotobuki with shining eyes: "You are so amazing! You defeated the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Qin Buqi smiled sheepishly: "Haha, the transformation action is a bit embarrassing."

Nakano Azusa hesitated and said, "Mio-senpai, in the Akashic Record, it seems... she's not an ordinary magical girl?"

Hirasawa Yui nodded and said in confusion: "Yeah! Xiao Mio wants to kill the magical girl's contracted beast. In the magical girl anime I have seen, there has never been a magical girl who would hurt the contracted beast!"

Chapter 105 Become a Magical Girl

Yamanaka Sawako said with a smile, "Fortunately, you chased Xiao Mio away. That was very cool." She smiled and said, "I want to let you go."

Qin blowing? Helpless smile.

She had only used such a strong attitude on the housekeeper. If she used it on someone she was on equal terms, it would seem a bit overbearing and impolite.

Nakano Azusa said worriedly, "Could it be that Mio-senpai will become an enemy of ?-senpai?"

The confrontation between magical girls is also a regular plot in magical girl anime, but if it is placed around, it cannot be regarded as an exciting plot.

Yamanaka Sawako said, "If Mio were to harm the magical girl's contracted beast, probably all the magical girls would become Mio's enemies. Oh, this is really a unique character design. Maybe in this Akashic Record, Mio will be the protagonist."

Hirasawa Yui opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "The protagonist? I want to be the protagonist too! I wonder when I can become a magical girl."

Qinchui smiled and said, "Xiao Wei might be the protagonist, since she's the first one to appear."

Hirasawa Yui counted on her fingers, "So, I'm the first protagonist, Xiao Mio is the second protagonist, Xiao Wei is the third protagonist, ?? is the fourth protagonist, and He He is the fifth protagonist... Eh? There's no Azusa and Xiao Sahe teacher."

Nakano Azusa said dejectedly, "Because I hadn't joined the light music club yet, and Mio-senpai was replaced by Manabe-san. I guess in Akashia Record, I don't have the chance to join the light music club anymore."

Hirasawa Yui pounced on Nakano Azusa and said intimately, "No, it's not like that. We had such a hard time getting Azusa into the light music club. As long as Azusa appears in Akashia Record, we will definitely get her into the light music club."

Nakano Azusa's cheeks flushed slightly, and she cried out with emotion: "Senior Wei!"

Kotobuki dragged Akiyama Mio out from under the table and sat back on the chair.
