Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

[Taizhong Ritsu rubbed his head and said with a cheeky smile, "Really? I was just trying to give you an opportunity to practice... You're really like me..."]

Hirasawa Yui picked up the guitar, strummed it twice, then rubbed the back of his head and said, "You said I should practice guitar, but I don't even know where to start."

Kotobuki took out a sheet of music and handed it to Hirasawa Yui: "Anyway, you should familiarize yourself with the chords first."

Hirasawa Yui takes the sheet music and says, "Thank you."

After opening the sheet music, Hirasawa Yui looked at it for a while and immediately felt dizzy. She begged Kotobuki, "Please... please teach me how to read music first..."

Kotobuki asked in surprise, "Where do we start?"

[Taizhong Ritsu jokingly said, "Xiaowei has no musical background at all! Oh! Why not make a wish to Kyubey! Wish to become a guitar master!"]

[Kewpie wagged his tail and said, "Sure, I can become a top musician."]

Hirasawa Yui hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "Reaching the end point directly? It feels so heavy. I still want to relax and play music with everyone."

Nakano Azusa said happily, "That's what Yui-senpai would say! Playing a musical instrument should be done out of love. Skipping the process and going straight to the end would be meaningless."

Hirasawa Yui nodded. "Because the light music club is originally a club for playing music in a relaxed manner, becoming a great musician is a very serious matter when you think about it."

Qin Chui also said, "It's better not to make wishes for such trivial matters."

Hirasawa Yui asked Taichu Ritsu, "Have you considered Ritsu's wish?"

Taichu Ritsu said in distress, "Not yet. I thought I could think of anything I wanted. Even though I have so many things I want to do, I still hesitate when it comes to my life. I wonder if it's really worth it."

[Quppy said: "That's surprising. Most children don't think about it."]

[Tai Nakagura laughed, "But it must be because we are stupid."]

Hirasawa Yui asked in surprise: "Oh! Is that so?"

Taichu Ritsu said, "Yes, happy fools aren't uncommon, are they? There are probably many people in the world who would risk their lives to fulfill a wish. So, those of us who can't find that wish have only known that level of misfortune, right? We've received too much kindness, and we've become fools."

Sigong Yunying took a drag on his cigarette, thinking about what had happened recently, and said coldly: "The little girl is just pretentious."

If they were adults, they wouldn't have to think so much.

Gain power and fulfill wishes at the cost of fighting monsters.

If Kyubey is willing to find them, he will immediately agree to let as many men as he wants become magical girls.

[Taizhong Ritsu asked: "Why us? Don't you think it's unfair? There should be others who truly want this opportunity."]

[Hirazawa Wei looked at Tian Jingzhong Ritsu: "Xiao Ritsu..."]

Akiyama Mio was surprised: "Ritsu can actually be so serious? Although she is right, she is indeed an idiot."

At this time, Akiyama Mio saw her own appearance.

[The door to the club opened, and Akiyama Mio and Manabe Kazu walked in.]

Hirasawa Yui and Tiananaka Ritsu stood up nervously.

[Taizhong Ritsu clenches his fists and glares at Akiyama Mio unhappily: "Looking for trouble again? I'm going to beat you up!"]

"Since ?? is here, I'm not afraid of you."

Qin Chui said, "Yes, Xiao Lu aside, it's all fine as long as I'm here. Don't worry."

[Taizhong Ritsu yelled, "Don't say anything, just let it go!"]

Seeing the hostile gaze from Ritsu Tainaka, Manabe asked doubtfully, "Is there a conflict between Ritsu and Mio?"

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "No."

Tianzhong Ritsu angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense! After entering high school, you suddenly became weird. Don't you realize you've become a weirdo?"

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "I'm just doing what I should do. Ritsu, it's time for you to grow up. Don't get angry just because I don't agree with you."

Tian Zhongli said indignantly: "Who's throwing a tantrum? Don't treat me like a child!"

Akiyama Mio said, "A mature person wouldn't tear up their club application just because their childhood friend wants to join another club."

[Taizhong Ritsu was shocked and raised his left arm to block in front of his face: "How, how did you know?! Did you read my mind? Wait! I never did anything like that!"]

Akiyama Mio said, "I failed to put it into action."

[Taizhong Ritsu's gaze drifted away, and he moved his body guiltily behind Hirasawa Yui.]

Hirasawa Yui asked in confusion, "Why is He He here with Xiao Mio?"

Manabe Kazu said, "Mio and I are in the same class. I heard that Mio is good at guitar and is childhood friends with Ritsu. So, I asked Mio to teach Wei when she has free time. Mio agreed."

Hirasawa Yui said happily: "Really? That's great!"

Chapter 108: Never Review

Hirasawa Yui said in surprise: "Mio and Kazukazu are in the same class? Isn't this something that happened in the second grade?"

Akiyama Mio said, "After all, it's the previous round, so there's nothing strange about it being different. Besides, I'm good at bass..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Akiyama Mio's eyes.

Nakano Azusa asked thoughtfully, "Perhaps there is some meaning to this? Even subtle changes can reveal something bigger."

Yamanaka Sawako picked up her tea, a glint of "I've seen through it all" flashing across her glasses. She said in an enigmatic voice, "The meaning. Xiao Mio and Xiao He became friends early on. That's the meaning, absolutely. As an outsider, Xiao He can actually become a bond between everyone and Xiao Mio, playing a role in reconciling you two. You see, Xiao He knew about the conflicts between Xiao Ri and Xiao Mio before, but he pretended not to know when he came to the light music club. He probably wanted to reconcile the friends."

Hirasawa Yui said, "Come to think of it, after the second grade, we were in the same class. Kazukazu and Mio became very close, and Ritsu was jealous."

Akiyama Mio frowned and showed an unhappy expression.

Kotobuki smiled and said, "Mio and Kazu get along very well."

Nakano Azusa couldn't help but complain: "After all, Mio-senpai and Kazu-senpai are both serious people."

Among the seniors in the light music club, only Mio-senpai is serious. Although ?-senpai is very generous and kind, he is too indulgent to Ritsu-senpai and Yui-senpai and hangs out with them. Although Sasuke is a teacher, he is the least reliable one.

Nakano Azusa couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Mio-senpai became friends with Kazu-senpai.

[Taizhong Ritsu asked: "Aren't you going to attack Kyubey?"]

While teaching Hirasawa Yui and Manabe Kazuo how to read music, Akiyama Mio said, "I wanted to deal with it before it came into contact with Yui, but it's too late now. So, what do you think? Are you planning on becoming a magical girl too?"

Hirasawa Yui frantically responds, "I..."

[Taizhong Ritsu said dissatisfiedly: "It's not your turn to comment."]

[Akiyama Mio asked Hirasawa Yui: "Do you remember what I said to you last time?"]

Hirasawa Yui said, "I still remember."

Akiyama Mio said, "That's good. I hope my advice will not be in vain."

Akiyama Mio unilaterally interrupted the conversation and carefully taught Hirasawa Yui and Manabe Kazuo how to recognize the musical notation.

Hirasawa Yui couldn't help but ask, "Mio, what wish did you make to become a magical girl?"

【Akiyama Mio did not express her feelings.】

After the tutoring session, Akiyama Mio left first. Manabe Kazuya said goodbye to the three of them: "I'm going to the library to study for the midterm exam."

Hirasawa Yui is horrified: "Ah! Midterm exam?"

[Tai Nakagura also gave a grim look: "Midterm exam!"]

Hirasawa Yui's body slumped, and she said listlessly, "Oh, so the midterm exams are almost here! I just finally got myself together and started practicing..."

Manabe Kazu said, "Didn't you never review for exams in junior high?"

Hirasawa Yui said happily: "Yeah, that's no problem!"

Manabe breaks out in a cold sweat: "No, I can't say it's okay."

Tian Zhongli suddenly realized something and said, "I almost forgot. I didn't review before the exam. Looks like it's okay."

Akiyama Mio complained, "She didn't review before the exam because the night before, she dragged me over and used her overnight crash course to get my grades up to a passing level... She really has no self-awareness at all."

Hirasawa Yui said, "Perhaps in the last round, Ritsu-chan would have gone to Mio for help."

Akiyama Mio pondered, "Will it be? ...With Xiaolu's thick skin, maybe."

After Manabe and Kotobuki left, she said, "Since Ritsu-chan and Yui-chan both have some free time, let's get started with the first part of the Magical Girl Experience Class. Are you ready?"

[Taizhong Ritsu pulled a baseball bat from the cabinet, shouldered it, and said, "I don't know if it counts as preparation, but I brought this. I figured it's better than nothing."]

Qinchui said speechlessly, "Well... it would be best if you have this awareness."

Tianzhong Ritsu excitedly asked Hirasawa Yui, "Xiaowei, did you bring anything?"

Hirasawa Yui takes out her notebook, opens it, and places the costume she drew in front of Tainaka Ritsu and Kotobuki. "Don't magical girls change clothes when they transform? So I want to think about the clothes first."

[Taizhong Ritsu exclaimed in surprise: "Wow...! I'm convinced. I'm truly defeated by you."]

Kotobuki wiped away tears while laughing: "Well, that's enough for enthusiasm."

The three of them returned to the third floor of the shopping mall. Qinfuki took out the Soul Gem, and the golden Soul Gem glowed faintly.

Kotobuki said, "This is the trace of magic left by the witch from yesterday. Basically, finding a witch is by walking. Like this, follow the witch's aura captured by the Soul Gem."

[Taizhong Ritsu quipped, "Unexpectedly rustic."]

[At the time of the demon, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the city, and Kotobuki Yui, Hirasawa Yui, and Taichu Ritsu walked on the overpass.]

Ritsu Tainaka observed the changes in the Soul Gem and said, "The light hasn't changed at all."

Kotobuki said, "It's been a night since she escaped, so her footprints have become less frequent."

Hirasawa Yui said, "If I had caught up with him right then..."

Qinbuki said, "While I can kill her, she's not a priority worth leaving behind."

Hirasawa Yui rubs the back of her head and apologizes to Kotobuki: "I'm sorry."

【Qinfuki said gently: "It's okay."】

[Tai Nakagura laughed carelessly and said, "Hmm, as expected... a righteous ally. On the contrary, Mio is really infuriating."]

Hirasawa Yui wonders, "Is Mio really a bad kid?"

Tainaka Ritsu swings a baseball bat around like a bad girl and asks Kotobuki, "Hey, oh, don't you have any idea where the witch might be hiding?"

Kotobuki said, "The witch's curse mostly affects traffic accidents and injuries, so we need to prioritize investigating main roads and entertainment areas where arguments are likely to occur. We should also prioritize investigating deserted places suitable for suicide. And if it takes over hospitals or something like that, that would be disastrous. If the vitality of already weak people is further drained away, the consequences would be horrific."

[Just as he finished speaking, the golden soul gem flashed brighter than before, causing the three of them to stop in their tracks.]

Chapter 109: Qinchui?: How could I lose? Gojo Satoru: You are right

Kotobuki held the Soul Gem in both hands and said seriously, "A very powerful magical fluctuation. Perhaps it's very close!"

[After saying this, the three of them broke into a run. They followed the magical trail cast by the Soul Gem, crossed the overpass, and ran all the way to the entrance of a tall building.]

The Soul Gem's flash was as bright as a light bulb, and Kotobuki said, "Yes, it's right here!"

After Kotobuki finished speaking, Tianzhong Ritsu subconsciously raised his head and saw a figure appear at the edge of the rooftop and fall outward.

[Tainaka Ritsu immediately shouted, “??! Over there!”]

Kotobuki leaps forward, golden ribbons swirling around her body. In just a second, Kotobuki completes her transformation.

[The woman who jumped from the building fell rapidly. When she was about to hit the ground, Qin Chui raised her hands upwards, and the ribbon formed a net in mid-air, stopping the woman in mid-air.]

[The ribbon slowly descended, placing the woman on the ground before disappearing.]

The three hurried over to the woman who had jumped from the building. They saw a strange mark on her neck. Qinfu said seriously, "It's the witch's lip mark, after all."

Hirasawa Yui asked: "This person..."

Qinfuki stood up and said, "It's okay, she just fainted. Now I have to go."

Kotobuki walks into the building. The pendant in her hair flashes, and a circle of light with a strange symbol appears in the air. Kotobuki says, "I won't let you escape again today."

After saying this, Kotobuki reached out to grab Taichu Ritsu's baseball bat. The tip of the bat radiated light and transformed into a stick with a golden mark. "It's better than nothing, but it should be enough to protect yourself. Don't leave my side."

[Taizhong Ritsu excitedly shouted: "Yes!"]

Kotobuki, Tainaka Ritsu, and Hirasawa Yui jump into the aperture one after another. Akiyama Mio appears at the building's entrance, coldly gazing at the gate to the witch's barrier.

[Inside the witch's barrier, the witch's familiar Adelbert sounded a warning like a bell and rammed his head towards the three people.]
