Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Nakano Azusa said irritably, "I heard that Kotobuki was dead, so I came all the way here. What's going on? This isn't what we agreed on!"

[Kyuubi apologizes: "Sorry, there's already a new magical girl here, even though the contract was just signed."]

Nakano Azusa said unhappily, "What's that? I'm really pissed. But, how can I hand over such a prime piece of land to a rookie who just debuted?"

[Quppy asked: "What are you going to do, Xiaozi?"]

Nakano Azusa gives a dangerous smile: "Is that even a question? Anyway, all we need to do is get rid of her, right? Take that girl."

Chapter 116: Magical Girls Are Shit

Four pairs of eyes fell on Nakano Azusa, and Yamanaka Sawako exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I really didn't see that! It turns out that Xiao Azusa is the villain!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi looked at Nakano Azusa with sparkling eyes: "Just get rid of her, right? Take that girl. What a cool line!"

The temperature of Nakano Azusa's face rose sharply. In a blink of an eye, Nakano Azusa's face turned red and white steam was about to come out of his head.

Tears welled up in Nakano Azusa's eyes, and he shouted in shame and anger, "I'm not handsome at all!"

Mio, who was originally thought to be a villain, had seen too many deaths and didn't want anyone else to end up in a desperate situation. She was always thought to have no chance to appear, but as soon as she appeared, she made a bold statement that she would eliminate her competitors and monopolize an area.

Nakano Azusa was so embarrassed that she just wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

【"ha……"】

[The next morning, in the school corridor, Manabe and yawned continuously.]

[Taizhong Ritsu asked casually: "What's wrong, Xiaohe, not enough sleep?"]

Manabe nodded: "Yeah, we were at the hospital and the police and stuff until late last night."

[Taizhong Ritsu asked in surprise: "Hey! What happened?"]

Manabe tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I think they say I have sleepwalking, and there are many people with the same symptoms. When they are found, they all fall in the same place."

[Tai Nakagura asked: "Huh? What is that?"]

Manabe replied, "The doctor said it was a collective hallucination or something. We need to get a detailed checkup after school today."

[Taizhong Ritsu said with a smile: "In that case, wouldn't it be better to just ask for leave from school?"]

Manabe immediately refused: "No, that would make it look like I'm really sick. My family would get more and more worried."

[Taizhong Ritsu jokingly said, "As expected of an excellent student, that's quite remarkable."]

[Tai Nakagura laughed heartily, while Hirasawa Yui remained silent from beginning to end, looking extremely depressed.]

The three of them were not in the same class. After Manabe Kazu entered the classroom, Tainanaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui continued forward.

Tian Zhong Ritsu stretched lazily and said with a smile, "I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time. It feels so refreshing."

Hirasawa Yui asked, "Isn't Xiaolu afraid?"

Tainaka Ritsu said, "That's a little scary, but yesterday's guy won so quickly. I might lose both Yui and Kazuki at the same time. That's what scares me even more. So, how should I put it?"

[Tai Naka Ritsu takes out the Soul Gem and holds it in front of Hirasawa Yui: "Confidence? A sense of security? I feel like I want to praise myself. I'm so proud. From now on, the peace of this city will be protected by me, the magical girl Ritsu."]

In the Akasha Countermeasures Room, Dusk suddenly realized something: "Magical Girl, is one person responsible for a city?"

Hearing Huanghun's words, the people around him were also stunned.

I hadn't noticed this before, but now, after hearing what these magical girls say, there's only one magical girl in a city.

Yuri asked in shock, "Isn't this a heavier workload than being a sorcerer?"

Although both were responsible for dealing with curses, the sorcerer had no such difficulty. Furthermore, the sorcerer had a dedicated assistant supervisor and a window, while the magical girl only had a Kyubey to assist her.

The most important thing is that all the magical girls are underage girls!

Dusk couldn't help but say, "Letting a group of little girls wipe out the evil spirits of a city all by themselves, magical girls are shit! They're shit that's even worse than sorcerers!"

Twilight's outrageous words made Yoel and others look sideways. Although it was a famous line of Nanami Kento, it was the first time that Twilight made such a comment.

However, Huang Hun's outrageous words always have a correctness that people can agree on.

Yuri rarely agreed with Dusk's opinion. He nodded and said sternly, "That's right, the profession of magical girl is shit! Kyubey, who made a little girl a magical girl, is the worst kind of shit!"

Anyway, it's too much to let some immature little girls be responsible for such a dangerous and heavy task.

Hirasawa Yui asked: "Don't you regret it at all?"

[Tai Nakagura said: "That's right. If I had to say anything, it would be my hesitation back then."]

【The voice and smile of Kotobuki Tsumugi appeared in Taichu Ritsu's mind.】

[Taizhong Ritsu said: "If we were going to do it anyway, we should have made up our minds earlier. If we had fought the witch together, Tsumugi might not have died."]

【Thinking back to her time with Kotobuki Tsumugi, Hirasawa Yui lowered her head in sadness. 】

[Taizhong Ritsu stretched out his finger and poked Hirasawa Yui on the cheek. Hirasawa Yui came to her senses and heard Taizhong Ritsu loudly say, "So, what strange things are you thinking about now?"]

Hirasawa Yui said nervously: "Me, me too..."

[Tainaka Ritsu said bluntly, "You can only say things like that after the fact. Anyway, it's not as good as it used to be. It's not practical. I became a magical girl by doing what I had to do."]

Hirasawa Yui whispers, "Lü-chan..."

[Tai Nakagura smiled and said, "Because I've found my wish, I don't mind fighting even if it means risking my life. I want to be someone who can protect everyone, just like Tsumuga. I don't want my friends to disappear from my world without knowing it. Yui doesn't need to become a magical girl, that's all."]

[On a distant rooftop, Nakano Azusa uses a telescope to spy on Tianzhong Ritsu walking along the corridor.]

Nakano Azusa said, "That's the city's new magical girl."

[Kyuubi squatted beside her and asked Nakano Azusa, "Are you really going to cause trouble for her?"]

Nakano Azusa puts down the binoculars and says, "She looks so weak, she'll be killed instantly, right? That kind of guy. Or what? Do you have any objections?"

[Azusa Nakano held the Soul Gem in front of her chest. The Soul Gem, emitting a red glow, seemed to be threatening Kyubey.]

[Quppy said: "Not everything will go as you wish, because there is another magical girl in this city."]

[Nakano Azusa asked: "Who is that guy?"]

[Qupi replied: "I'm not sure either."]

Nakano Azusa asked in surprise, "Huh? What do you mean? Didn't that girl also become a magical girl by making a contract with you?"

Kyubey said, "You can say it, and you can say it's not. That child is very unpredictable. I can't predict what actions he will take."

Nakano Azusa chuckled, "Isn't that great? Otherwise, it would be too boring and not interesting at all."

Chapter 117 Walpurgis Night

After nightfall, Ritsu Tainaka imitates Tsumugi Kotobuki and patrols the city. Yui Hirasawa follows behind Ritsu Tainaka, providing spiritual support for her.

[Entering the witch's barrier, Tianzhong Ritsu transforms into a magical girl, constantly creating swords to suppress the familiar. ]

[However, when Tianzhong Ritsu was about to defeat the familiar, Nakano Azusa suddenly rushed in, poked Tianzhong Ritsu's sword with his spear, and asked helplessly: "I say, I say, what are you doing?"]

The familiar took the opportunity to escape, and Tianzhong Ritsu hurriedly chased after him. However, Nakano Azusa's spear blade blocked his path, and Tianzhong Ritsu immediately stopped.

The spear blade stopped in front of Taichu Ritsu's throat. Nakano Azusa said, "Don't you understand after seeing this? That's not a witch, it's a familiar. It can't possibly have the Seed of Sorrow, right?"

[Tainaka Ritsu retorted, "But if we leave that alone, someone will get killed."]

Nakano Azusa takes out a piece of Taiyaki and eats it while saying, "So, after it eats four or five people and turns into a witch, we can get the Seed of Sorrow. Why are you killing the chicken before it lays eggs?"

Tian Zhongli asked in shock, "Are you saying you're going to let someone who's being attacked by a witch die without helping them?"

Nakano Azusa lowered his spear and stepped closer to Taichu Ritsu. "Hey, you're probably mistaken. Do you understand the food chain? You learned about it in school, right? Weak humans are eaten by witches, and we eat witches. Isn't that a natural rule? After all, it's based on strength."

[Tai Nakagura was forced to retreat repeatedly by Nakano Azusa, and said in panic and anger: "You bastard!"]

Nakano Azusa stuck the blade of his spear into the ground and sneered, "Although I think it's unlikely, you wouldn't have signed a contract with this guy just for the sake of saving people or justice, or some such ridiculous joke, would you?"

[Tai Nakagura angrily swung his sword at Nakano Azusa: "So what?"]

[Azusa Nakano holds the gun in his right hand, blocking Tianzhong Ritsu's attack.]

[Tai Nakagura gnashed his teeth, while Nakano Azusa remained calm: "Hey, can you please stop?"]

Tianzhong Ritsu turned a deaf ear to him, pressing down on his sword with both hands. Nakano Azusa took a bite of the taiyaki and said unhappily, "It's really infuriating that you're getting involved with this half-baked mentality."

Nakano Azusa launched an attack, and Tiani Nakaritsu was defeated step by step. He had almost no strength to fight back. In a moment, he was knocked down by Nakano Azusa. Nakano Azusa jumped up and ruthlessly thrust his spear into the fallen Tiani Nakaritsu.

The next moment, Taichu Ritsu's body appeared further away. Nakano Azusa's spear pierced the ground. Akiyama Mio suddenly appeared and landed between the two of them, handsomely brushing her dark hair.

[Nakano Azusa points his spear at Akiyama Mio and shouts in frustration, "What the hell are you doing!"]

Before he could finish his words, Akiyama Mio disappeared from his sight. Nakano Azusa, sensing a presence behind him, quickly turned around. Akiyama Mio reappeared, frightening Nakano Azusa so much that he stepped back and demanded, "Really? Are you the unpredictable guy they're talking about? You know how to use strange tricks?"

[Tai Naka Ritsu gets up and rushes towards Nakano Azusa: "Don't get in my way!"]

After running a few steps, Akiyama Mio, who was originally in front of Nakano Azusa, suddenly appeared next to Tianzhong Ritsu and knocked him unconscious with a blow.

Hirasawa Yui hurried over to Taichu Ritsu and called out worriedly, "Ritsu-chan!"

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "It's nothing, she just fainted."

Nakano Azusa turned her back to Akiyama Mio and asked sternly, "Who are you? Whose companion are you?"

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "I'm a friend of calm people, and an enemy of fools who stir up trouble for no reason. Which type are you, Nakano Azusa?"

Nakano Azusa put down his gun, turned around, and asked Akiyama Mio, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Akiyama Mio said noncommittally, "Who knows?"

[Nakano Azusa looked at Akiyama Mio for a long time, but couldn't judge her true nature, so she left decisively.]

Yamanaka Sawako sighed: "He is indeed a villain. In order to obtain the Seed of Sorrow, he allowed the witch to kill people and even killed the magical girl. In the magical girl worldview, he is simply unique."

There was already a dark cloud hanging over Nakano Azusa's head, and her body was about to shrink under the table. Hirasawa Yui grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up like pulling a carrot.

Nakano Azusa looked like she was about to cry and called out to Hirasawa Yui, "Yui-senpai."

Hirasawa could only rub Nakano Azusa's head in a formal manner: "It's okay, Azusa, there are no bad people among magical girls. There must be some misunderstanding. Wasn't Xiao Mio also regarded as a villain before?"

Akiyama Mio nodded to Nakano Azusa with an unusually relaxed expression.

She feels comfortable now. She was cleared of being a suspected villain in one fell swoop. After being cleared, she became even more powerful and easily eliminated two magical girls. Her sad past involved the deaths of three-digit magical girls. She was suspected to be a ceiling-level magical girl.

All the pressure was on Nakano Azusa.

[Azusa Nakano was selecting jazz records at the record store when Mio Akiyama walked in.]

[Noticing Akiyama Mio approaching, Nakano Azusa asked without turning around, "Hey, what's going on this time?"]

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "I want to entrust this city to you."

Nakano Azusa asked in surprise, "What kind of wind is this?"

Akiyama Mio said, "A magical girl like you is suitable. Ritsu Tainaka is not qualified for it."

Nakano Azusa said confidently, "That's what I was planning. What about that guy named Taichu Ritsu? If we leave him alone, he'll cause trouble again."

Akiyama Mio said, "I want to resolve this as safely as possible. Please don't interfere. I'll handle it."

Nakano Azusa said, "I haven't asked the crucial question yet. Who are you? What is your purpose?"

[Nakano Azusa turned around and looked at Akiyama Mio.]

Akiyama Mio said calmly, "In two weeks, this city will usher in Witch Night."

[Nakano Azusa asked in confusion: "How do you know?"]

Akiyama Mio said, "That's a secret. Anyway, once you defeat that guy, I'll leave this city. From now on, it's up to you."

"Witch Night?"

In the Akasha Countermeasures Room, the Logistics Department quickly searched for information and found the historical records about the Witch's Night after a while.

"Also known as Walpurgis Night, or Witches' Night, this ancient festival is celebrated by the Druids of Britain on April 4th and May 30st every year. Because Druidism is considered pagan by Christians, and its gods are considered demonic, Walpurgis Night has also become known as Witches' Night."

Chapter 118: The Truth About the Soul Stone

"As expected, everything the Akashic Records play out can be traced back to history."

Huanghun looked at the printed information thoughtfully.
