The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Oh, there's another page?"

Yoshida Tsuna excitedly turned the last page, but what he saw was not the usual exquisite illustrations, but a slightly magical emoticon pack. A black and white thing that looked like a panda had the face of Homura Akemi photoshopped in its place. Then she pointed at Kyubey in her hand and said -

Don't touch this, it will turn out badly.

Chapter 72 Magical Girl & Wishes

After sending the devilish emoticon to the group, Yoshida Tsuna, who was still unaware of anything, clicked on the fourth chapter——

As Tsuna was happy, the surrounding environment gradually returned to its original state. At this time, Homura Akemi, who had disappeared just now, appeared again and was watched by everyone.

"..It seems that the witch has escaped. If you want her, chase her quickly. I'll give it to you this time." After yawning, which was completely inconsistent with the handsome combat uniform on his body, Miki Kiyoshi said to Homura Akemi who was not far away.

"What I'm looking for is—"

"...You're such a troublemaker! I was thinking of letting you go this time."

Facing Xiao Yan who was still pestering and seemed to want to say something, Xiao Qing pulled out the sword that she had just sheathed. At this moment, her eyes were sharp, completely different from her usual dazed look.

"This woman is beautiful, cute and handsome. I love her so much!"

But there was no fight or explanation of the setting, but the camera turned back to Kaname Tsuna's home -

In the morning, the mother and daughter were still brushing their teeth in front of the mirror, but the content was a little different in the past few days. While being reminded to contact in advance if coming home late, she looked at the cute Kewpie beside her and sighed that others really couldn't see it, and what happened yesterday was not a dream.

Next, the group came to Miki Kiyoshi's house, a mansion even bigger than Kaname's. They drank tea and snacks prepared by the maid and entered the necessary explanation and setting link.

"The Soul Gem is a gem created by a contract between a girl chosen by Kyubey. It is both the source of magical power and proof of being a magical girl."

Mikikiyo placed his aquamarine gem on the coffee table, and the two of them stared at it.

"...What does the contract mean?" Although she still had a cool expressionless profile, Sakura En's heart was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

But before Xiaoqing could explain, the mysterious animal Kyubey sitting on the coffee table spoke first: "I can fulfill any of your wishes——"

"Hey, hey, this is too ridiculous, right?... Any wish, any miracle can be fulfilled for a magical girl..."

Looking at the comic in front of him, Yoshida Tsuna fell into deep thought. What wish would he make if he had such an opportunity?

"No—before that, there's still a question. What is the price of the Soul Gem? If a wish is the price of fighting a terrifying monster called a witch, then what if someone wishes for the witch to disappear?

No, no, that would be illogical..."

After thinking for a moment, Yoshida Tsuna gave up thinking. He read comics to relax, not to exercise his thinking ability. Anyway, he would understand it if he continued reading, right? If he couldn't do it anymore, he would go and jerk off his friends in the group, or even directly jerk off the author.

If he dares to say something like, "I don't know, I've never thought about this question," then I'll give him a bad review, get angry, and send him knives until he figures it out!

"...Heh, just kidding~"

......

...

..

"If Madoka-chan made a wish, what do you think it would be?"

"..."

"No, no, I'm not talking about you, Ms. Higuchi. I'm asking about the red-haired character in the comics, Sakura-chan~"

Although Ping Xin knew that his ulterior motives had long been seen through, using a joke to change the subject was also a manifestation of maturity (lowliness) and adulthood, right?

"...I don't know, because it's completely false, right? Stupid question."

This is true. After all, it is foolish to bring reality completely into fictional works. Conversely, it is the same to seriously bring imaginary non-existent things into reality. It has no practical significance at all.

"Hmm... What if I grant you a wish? It's within my ability, though~"

"...No, I don't have anything I need to wish for..."

Ah, it seems like there is something like this, something you want or someone you want to be—

"Then I'll just play freely~"

This is enough for today. Let her remember her inner hopes and aspirations. Will she smile more or frown more in the future?

Ping Xin didn't know, but he would figure it out.

......

...

..

"If magical girls are born from wishes, then witches are born from curses. If magical girls spread hope, then witches must appear to spread despair—"

Unease and suspicion, excessive anger and hatred, they bring the seeds of disaster into the world. Unexplained incidents of purple sand or sharks, are they sometimes caused by a witch's curse...?

The commentary was not difficult to understand, and there were no words that the author had made up to stand out, but it was this ordinary and plain narrative style that triggered Yoshida Tsuna's thinking.

"If magical girls represent love and hope, as well as the truth, goodness, and beauty within people, then do witches represent the malice deep within people?"

In particular, the idea that "it transforms into invisible malice and begins to erode humanity from within" made him think of this. Furthermore, "witches usually hide in their own barriers, undetectable to ordinary people." Isn't this similar to the dark side hidden deep within everyone's heart?

With this thought in mind, Yoshida Tsuna continued reading:

"Ordinary people wouldn't survive a monster like that, but the magical girl's chance to make a wish comes at the cost of a life-or-death battle with the witch. That seems reasonable...or rather, within the magical girl's worldview, such rules are a bit too realistic."

Miki Kiyoshi finally advised the two to choose carefully. As a friend, she naturally didn't want Tsuna and Madoka to be in danger, but she couldn't use the excuse of "for your own good" to act arbitrarily. So, in the end, she left the decision to the two.

The opportunity to fulfill a wish and a battle that involves life-threatening risks, although such an opportunity is of no importance to the pure-hearted Xiao Yuan, for Xiao Tsuna who has always felt that she is too ordinary, this is a choice that makes her hesitate.

Finally, Miki Kiyoshi suggests that they train in witch extermination activities, saying that this is not her first time and that she is confident in protecting their safety. She asks them to think carefully during this time. Ultimately, Kaname Tsuna will go, so Sakura En will also go.

"Wow...are there really no special feelings between them?"

Although the label said "Yuri", it only contained the ambiguous atmosphere of girls living together in a relaxed manner, so he didn't have any expectations in this regard at first.

But considering that a girl confessed her love to Miki Kiyoshi as mentioned earlier, and Sakura Koen's past behavior of continuing to do so even when her life was in danger and even though she had no desire to make wishes, it's hard not to think too much.

......

...

..

"...What are you trying to do with this plot device?"

"Hey~~~~ But yuri is different from boy-girl. Isn't it just about a mixed bag of CPs? Especially a story like mine--" Ping Xin showed a cunning smile on the other end of the phone.

If this foreshadowing is not done, wouldn’t the subsequent emotional scenes be very abrupt?

Chapter 73 So, what is the price?

"Akami Homura... who are you? Why are you approaching Tsuna? What's your purpose?"

...What a strange topic. Or rather, I'd like to ask—

who are you?

The fifth episode officially begins with a meaningless conversation, and Yoshida Tsuna flips down.

......

...

..

"...What is your purpose in bringing me here? Is there an ambush?...Or do you intend to subdue me by your own strength? Red-haired sauce who is inexplicably close to Tsuna." No further action was taken because the final result of such behavior is often futile. Homura Akemi is the one who knows this best.

But this time, it was different than she expected. Next to Tsuna was Miki Kiyoshi and a red-haired woman she had never seen before. She had no idea about this. It was precisely because of this that she had come to the appointment when the note called her out, intending to use this opportunity to ask for clarification.

"At this point, we should be out of telepathic range, right? As a magical girl, you should be more aware of this."

"...Strange guy, after knowing about the magical girl, shouldn't you be wary of me and try to stay around Miki Kiyoshi and avoid being alone with me?"

In the corridor where no one would pass by at this time, the two could talk without restraint.

"But if you really wanted to hurt Tsuna, you could have just done it without any nonsense while I was looking for a fire extinguisher. With the power of a magical girl, it shouldn't even take a second, right? Besides, if she doesn't matter to you, then what's the point of 'those words'? Why did you stop after she held Kyubey in her arms?" After asking the question, she did not take the next step, but waited for Homura Akemi's reaction.

"...What's your name?"

Through these words, Xiaoen successfully attracted the attention of Homura Akemi and made her a little curious about this person.

"My name is Sakura-sama... and like Miki Kiyoshi, I'm Kaname Tsuna's childhood sweetheart."

"Sakura... En." She had an impression of this name. She had heard Tsuna mention it before... the name of a dead person who had unfortunately passed away.

"Incredible... This is the first time I've seen you in person."

No wonder someone else took the seat where Renmei should have been sitting. Although such things rarely happen, they have happened before, like a new face appearing among unimportant passers-by, which is the so-called butterfly effect.

Was it because her actions caused some changes that allowed the person who should have died to survive?

But so what? ...The result wouldn't change. Even if she had tried so hard for so long and still couldn't achieve it, could she just add one more person to the mix? That was ridiculous.

But since it doesn't matter, there's nothing wrong with just saying a few words.

"So... what do you want to ask?"

Seeing that Homura Akemi suddenly changed her attitude after thinking for a while, Xiaoyuan was a little confused, but there were more important things to talk about at the moment, so she ignored it and asked directly: "So, Homura Akemi, what is the price?"

"...Magical girl's? But Kyubey must have said that before Tsuna."

Homura Akemi's blurt-out "Tsuna" made her concerned. Although she had originally been completely unable to understand the transfer student's inexplicable obsession with Tsuna and his strange radio-themed remarks, she had some ideas after adding the information provided by Kyubey and Miki Kiyoshi.

"But that's what Kyubey said, isn't it? And Qing also acted according to what it said, isn't that a completely one-sided story? ...What I want to know is why you stopped Tsuna from becoming a magical girl."

"...Aren't you afraid that I'm lying?" If she could be won over as a fighting force, as she was one of the few sensible people who took the initiative to talk to her... Homura Akemi had made some considerations in her mind, and the next step was to wait for the other party's reaction to see if she had the "qualifications".

"But if it's a lie, it's the same with Kyubey, right? It's also one-sided. Maybe as its enemy, you can say something different."

Passed——

"...I see. That's a really calm way of thinking. Unlike a love idiot, a self-centered person, or a naive girl."

The next words were not written, only a close-up of Xiaoyuan's shocked face was given. Finally, the fifth chapter ended abruptly after leaving a suspense.

"But there doesn't seem to be any Kansai—" Yoshida Tsuna roared loudly, which caused the neighbors to knock on the wall in protest.

I clicked directly on episode 6 to watch!

......

...

..

"...So your plan is to rely on this 'variable' to break the cycle?"

"No, no, no, then wouldn't the 'darkness' I want to convey the most be meaningless? Of course it would be failure...failure~" Ping Xin smiled over there and continued, "If hard work can lead to success, then this world is too gentle, isn't it?"

Besides, how can something that can be accomplished with just hard work be called a miracle?

......

...

..

After lunch break, Xiaoyuan, who had just gone to the infirmary with a stomachache, returned looking normal. When Xiaoqing offered her a sanitary napkin in public and asked if she wanted one, she sullenly refused. It was almost lunch break's end when Homura Akemi walked in just as the bell rang.

The afternoon classes ended quickly, and today's trio went out together. On the way home, Xiao Yuan, who usually rarely initiates conversations, suddenly said, "Have you thought of a wish, Tsuna?"

"...Although there are many things I want and want to do, but——"

"...But when your life is at stake, you still hesitate, feeling it's not worth it, right?" Under Maru's gaze, Tsuna finally nodded. Even though she wanted to be different, like Maru with her own personality or like Qing with her beauty...

But is it really possible to do this by making a wish? Even if it can be done, will I be fundamentally different from before? Such questions kept emerging in the girl's mind, and Kyubey couldn't ignore them anymore.

"It's really surprising that most of the kids accepted it right away."

The Qiubi clan has observed humans for thousands of years and found that most humans tend to follow the crowd. Sometimes, as long as you say "everyone is like this", "many people are like this", "this is very common", some seemingly incredible things can be quickly accepted.

"You said most... Well, Kyubey, let me ask you—

Where did all the children who became magical girls go?"

Chapter 4000: The Unknown Magical Girl Attacks! ()

"As for the children before, some went to other cities to find territories, some died, and some lost their identities as magical girls because they gave up hunting witches. Are you still afraid, Maru?" Kyubey did not panic in the face of Sakura Maru's sudden question. After all, there should be no such thing as emotions in their race. The so-called cute appearance and animal-like behavior are just "mimicry."
