The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Excellent in studies, good at sports, and cool and beautiful...you?"

"No, no, this kind of character is actually quite common in animation, although it is usually accompanied by some contrasting attributes that make people feel sad, such as-" After he blabbered on for a while, he waited for a response from the other side.

"...So it's still you?"

"No, no, at most, they're just somewhat similar in some places... After all, I don't have the powerful ability of Samsara. Who made me just an ordinary person who relies on my own practice to gain strength... But such examples do exist -

Listening to what the giraffe said, it seems that our world has been repeated countless times. "

Shocking facts? ...But to those who can't detect any abnormality, it's just the ravings of a madman. But in the past, she could just laugh it off and then sneer at it. But now...it's true that the more you know, the more troubled you become.

"...the one the zoo mentioned?"

After all, just one magical giraffe is enough to surprise people. If there are more such creatures, she might just give up resistance and let this chaotic world make her feel disgusted.

"Right, right... It's amazing, isn't it? Without anyone noticing, including me, this world has been repeating the same thing over and over again, constantly rewinding back to the starting point."

"...But in that case, perhaps—"

Thinking of some possible future, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but have fantasies, but such a reality would not appear, because this time he was completely different after being reborn.

"No, I can't. Staying 17 forever... I'd be really troubled if I couldn't marry you."

"...Then you will be troubled for the rest of your life."

"Wow, you're as ruthless as ever... And it seems that only the memories of the person who activated this time rewind and certain high-ranking beings can be preserved unaffected. If this continues, it'll be like you're being harassed by me every year, but you won't get any benefits~"

After being given some extreme examples, Higuchi Enka finally gave up this plan, then began to feel that she was being stupid, and finally attributed everything to this man.

Although not changing is a good thing, it is also the worst bad thing.

......

...

..

After a close-up of a near-future classroom, the scene shifts to the classroom itself. The teacher standing at the podium says that there's something important to announce today.

"Why are you talking about this second?" After making the same complaint as the girls in the comics, Yoshida Tsuna, who had just been laughing because his teacher's love affair had failed for who knows how many times, looked down and saw that the transfer student he had been waiting for for a long time had finally appeared.

"While everyone was marveling at the beauty of the black-haired girl, only the protagonist Kaname Tsuna remembered that she was the girl he had seen in his dream... Hmm - what a familiar development!"

What follows must be this: Suspicious, she leaves school and tracks down a mysterious transfer student, only to be drawn into a battle between magical girls. Then, because they share a secret, they become suspected by En and Qing's friends, and finally, everyone happily joins in, becoming a magical girl family!

"I can't wait... Serve it up now!"

After wiping off the nonexistent saliva, Yoshida Tsuna continued to look down, but the following plot development was far beyond his expectations.

"My name is Homura Akemi... Please give me your guidance."

A rather brief speech and her name written on the electronic blackboard—that was all she said in her self-introduction. Though the students below were confused, they clapped in unison, being friendly. Only Kaname Tsuna, who had been caught staring at her for some reason, looked away in worry.

"Wasn't that a precognitive dream?...a forgotten past? But aside from Homura Akemi's clothes, there wasn't a noticeable change in the style of Kaname Tsuna's uniform or their appearances—" For some reason, Yoshida Tsuna felt a sudden chill. Could it be that the author's use of this small, round-faced style was intended to obscure this information? What was the purpose then?

One of the two friends, Xiao Yuan, pointed out that Tsuna had just missed the eye contact with the transfer student, Homura, and asked if she knew the transfer student. This behavior exposed her cold and tsundere style that had been silently paying attention to you, which made him smile knowingly. Tsundere beautiful girl Suki!

The scene changed, and the transfer student Homura Akemi, who had just been surrounded by enthusiastic girls, suddenly made an excuse of feeling unwell and declined their company again. She turned around and walked to the back of the classroom to seek help from the health committee member Tsuna.

"If it happened after a while, it would make sense... But knowing who the health committee member is on the first day of school, and even knowing Kaname Tsuna's name, it's hard not to think too much..."

Is this really a memory loss plot? Regardless, at least it can be seen that Homura Akemi's target is clear, and that is Tsuna.

Like the way he said "lead the way" but actually walked in front of Tsuna, when asked why he knew, he replied "Saotome-sensei (homeroom teacher) told me", and the occasional close-up of his face that gave people a bad impression, everything seemed to hint at something -

After arriving at the deserted skywalk, Homura Akemi, who had been walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked, "Kaname Tsuna... do you think your life is precious? Do you value your family and friends?"

Xiao Gang, who was suddenly asked this question, was obviously a little confused. But after hesitating for a while, she answered with certainty: "Of course I take it very seriously. My family and friends are my favorite and very important people!"

"...Really?"

"Really..why would I lie!"

After receiving a positive answer, Homura Akemi, who asked the question, showed no emotion on her face. She just continued, "Is that so... If that's true, then you must never think about becoming another different self - otherwise you will lose everything."

But how would Kaname Tsuna react when a stranger suddenly said such words to him?

Without pausing, Homura Akemi continued, "You just need to live as Kaname Tsuna... Just like 'until now', and in the future too—"

Finally, when the suspense reached its peak, the second episode came to an abrupt end.

"...Even though most of the time each episode seems like just a regular cute anime, it always manages to keep people wanting to watch it at just the right moment. The author must be a very skilled screenwriter, right?"

He is also an expert in illuminating magical girls. With such a talented artist, how can magical girls not be popular?

......

...

..

"...You're really good at this storytelling method of breaking down information into fragments and then reassembling them, and those meaningful words. So, that white thing is you, right?"

Even though he couldn't see the screen, Ping Xin knew she was referring to the source of all evil, the lustful beast Kyubey, also known as QB, the physical killer girl. But how could he be compared to such a stinking... big shot?

It’s not that bad, sister, it’s really not that bad—

"No, no, if I had to put it this way... QB is a kind of embodiment, a being that stands in opposition to magical girls, love, and hope. This kind of person, who is absolutely rational, willing to sacrifice anything to achieve his goals, is like the most classic villain, right?"

"...If you put it that way, then it isn't?"

"Haha...at least not entirely in my opinion. Kyubey's behavior is just like how humans destroy nature, raise and kill other animals in order to survive better. It's an act done for survival.

It was only because the 'sacrifice' was changed to a human being and the target was a lovable girl that people felt anger, fear, and incomprehension, defining this behavior that was too far-sighted and beyond human imagination as evil.

The opposite of justice is not necessarily evil; most of the time they have to face another kind of justice."

"...You're really good at making excuses."

After hearing Higuchi Enka's long speech, Hirayuki did not get angry, but laughed happily. His laughter also attracted the attention of four people who were lying on the bed playing with their mobile phones.

"Yes, it's a perverse logic... No matter how much you rationalize his actions, it can't change the fact that what Kyubey did was 'wrong'. But what's the point? Even if it's a false justice, a justice without mercy, or evil disguised as rationality, humans just can't defy it—"

"I see... That's why you chose a magical girl, huh?"

"......That's it."

What is a magical girl like?

What do they have in common besides their cute looks and great powers?

What makes it so powerful and shining?

Is it magic?

No.

Is it luck?

No.

Is it cute?

No.

"Because they have love and courage in their hearts... Although they are just ordinary girls in reality, with the power of magic, they can create miracles that bring hope with the light in their hearts.

When faced with unreasonable 'rationality', let us use even more powerful irrationality to blast it back!"

Ping Xin on the other end of the phone clenched and unclenched his fists, repeating this action, and this was the idea he had always held.

If it's within the "rules" that both parties agree on, I'll fight you squarely. But if I feel the rules and my opponent's behavior are unreasonable and irrational, then I'll use even more unreasonable force and irrational violence to destroy them.

"That's 'fair' in a way... isn't it?"

“…Heh~”

There was a chuckle on the phone, followed by a regular silence.

I wonder what kind of expression is on her face over there right now?

Chapter 71 Don’t touch this, you will become unfortunate

After opening the third chapter, Yoshida Tsuna felt a familiar feeling again——

In the first few frames, Homura Akemi showed her versatility in both study and sports. Coupled with her beautiful and elegant appearance, her originally unapproachable feeling was taken for granted and she attracted the attention and welcome of all boys and girls.

Only Kaname Tsuna, who was constantly being stared at, felt an inexplicable panic, hiding behind his friend, En, like a chick hiding behind a hen. A lovely white and pink figure appeared beside the flower bed on the academy's rooftop. Now, all three of the dreamers had gathered there.

"...What does that mean?" After hearing Tsuna's account of the conversation between him and Homura Akemi when they were alone together during the day, En asked a soul-searching question.

“That’s what I’m saying—”

"I thought she was a beautiful girl with both literary and martial talents, but in fact she is a psychic radio girl... Her personality is too much, right?" As they were talking, the two people sitting in the family restaurant suddenly turned their heads to Xiaoqing who was sitting next to them, as if... such people are not as rare and special as imagined?

Afterwards, Xiao Gang mentioned the dream she had last night, and even the blue-haired girl Xiao Qing, who was eating while sleeping, couldn't help but open her eyes and gave her a thumbs up.

"...You are destiny companions who have traveled through time and space to meet each other...Haha~ isn't this great?" This is such a familiar irony, it's me!

It was just such a strange topic and strange conversation that made some of the "sleeping goddess" on the radio wave come alive, and they came to the conclusion that "I may have seen her somewhere but didn't remember it, but she left an impression in my deep heart, so she appeared in my dream."

Afterwards, Xiaoqing suddenly said that she had something important to do and left first. The remaining girl with pink twin tails, Kotsugu, and the girl with red short hair, Xiaoen, made an appointment to go shopping in a CD store. It seemed that they both had a hobby in music. Everything looked so harmonious and beautiful.

But then the scene suddenly changed——

In a dark corridor with no lighting, a cute little white beast is running away. As the mascot of the magical girl, is the one chasing it the villain who should be defeated?

Yoshida Tsuna didn't know, and Kaname Tsuna, who was listening to music with headphones on but heard an inexplicable cry for help, didn't know either, but she was kind-hearted and decided to go and see. Xiao En, who was also wearing headphones but always paying attention to her, noticed her abnormal behavior and quietly followed her.

"Same inexplicable opening, same deserted corridor. Stairs that stand out so prominently in this location, and a door waiting to be opened... This is straight out of a dream. Is this some kind of setting where opening the door leads to another world?" After entering the emergency exit, the so-called safety is completely lost. As always, I appreciate the effort put into the background design, and Yoshida Tsuna gives the author a thumbs up.

The girl groped her way forward in the darkness, and what finally appeared before her was a small white animal with blood on its body and already in tatters. The kind-hearted Tsuna held it in his arms, not caring at all about what kind of animal it was or whether it could speak, because soon an unexpected person appeared -

"Leave this guy or you'll become miserable."

The transfer student Homura Akemi appeared here, wearing the strange dress she had seen in her dream.

"B-but the child is injured."

Even in the face of such a baffling situation, Kaname Tsuna still did not lose his kind nature, which made Homura Akemi almost unable to hold back her indifferent face. It would have been better if the evil creature named Kyubey had not been lying in her arms pretending to breathe.

Faced with Tsuna's rejection, Homura did not make any further choices. She just stood there, not knowing what she was thinking. She was as confusing as every occasion since her appearance.

"...Tsuna, this way!"

Homura, who had been following them, appears and uses a fire extinguisher to give Tsuna and the unknown mascot a chance to escape. After they escape, Homura waves the smoke away.

After an incomprehensible cutscene, the style of the entire world changed. Except for a few girls, the entire world appeared in front of them in a grotesque, distorted, black, and somewhat surreal style.

There's a line of small text in the margin: "Collage Style," which simply means a collage-like effect. This comment, while thoughtful to the reader, also gives Yoshida Tsuna a sense of the author's bad taste. Perhaps the author knew readers would be startled, so he added this distracting note to distract them.

On their way to the emergency exit, Tsuna and En were brought into this absurd world, and they also discovered that there seemed to be something in this strange world. The cute girls and the monsters that surrounded them, which looked uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a complete crisis...?"

But at this critical moment, someone came to help, and it turned out to be...

"Holding the blue gem...Xiaoqing? But that makes sense—"

After all, she had suddenly said she had something urgent to do and had to leave first. Although there was no reason, the two of them didn't find it strange, which means this is a common occurrence. If it was a magical girl who had to defeat the monster, then this unreasonable behavior would actually be reasonable.

It’s just that it’s a bit of a bad taste to arrange such a plot on a mysterious girl with some electric waves...”

But as a "surprise plot" in comics, this should be quite common, right? After making an excuse for his own gaffe and the comic author, Yoshida Tsuna continued to read on -

"Tsuna and En...ah, Kyubey is here too, hello everyone...but why are you here?" At this moment, Miki Kiyoshi still looked half asleep as usual, as if she was completely unaware of the strange changes around her.

"Eh? Um... because I was called by this child."

"I see...it seems Tsuna is also a 'qualified person'."

Qualified? What?

Before the two could ask, the blue-haired girl, Xiaoqing, turned serious. She raised the gem in her hand and said, "Sorry, I'm being rude... We need to deal with the host who invited us here without permission first."

【A cute transformation animation】

After the transformation, Xiaoqing, wearing a blue dress and holding a Western sword, appeared in front of these childhood friends who had known each other since childhood.

However, instead of slashing and stabbing with swords as we might imagine, she summoned a large number of similar Western swords from thin air. After placing some of them beside Tsuna and En as protection, she swung her swords like batons, striking wherever she pointed, and then began a one-sided brutal beating of the monsters by Unlimited Blade Works.

"Come to think of it... Qing seems to have learned swordsmanship, but it's a Western sword..."

Ending with this sentence, the third chapter, which has dug a lot of holes, ends here...
