I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

"Aunt?"

Madoka pointed at herself in confusion.

The proprietress's face twisted slightly as she pointed at the sign overhead. "A little kid called two older kids and tried to break into my shop. Don't you know the first two characters of my shop? Or are you guys sent by my competitors to put me in jail?"

"Come to think of it, the clothes you're wearing belong to Mitakihara Junior High School students, right? Be careful or I'll call your homeroom teacher!"

After what happened last time when he bought a book, Kitty was unmoved: "I'm selling the Soul Gem, but you look down on me."

But this time her golden rule did not trigger, and the cat's luck failed!

"I have pocket money."

Xiaoyuan took out the pocket money she had just been given in her pocket.

"This isn't a matter of money. Let's go. This is so embarrassing."

This is Sayaka blushing.

When Yimi led them towards this side, she noticed something strange. She didn't expect that the final destination would actually be here.

Xiaoyuan looked at her puzzledly: "But Sayaka was the most interested just now, wasn't she?"

"What do you mean by 'interested' or 'not interested'? You guys are so frightening that I can't even lift my head."

Sayaka grabbed Yimi's armpits and dragged her out: "Hurry up, Xiaoyuan, if someone who knows us sees us, we will be transferred to another school on the spot!"

Xiaoyuan didn't understand why, but she still followed her and left this place of trouble.

"what!"

After running away, Sayaka couldn't help but cover her face and squat down and scream.

If I think about it carefully, the Soul Gem that Senior Mami placed openly on the table last night was just modified... No wonder she emphasized that the magical girl had to make a huge sacrifice. This sacrifice was indeed huge. Just thinking about it makes me feel a dull pain in my butt.

"Is it because the code didn't match? Or do you actually have to be an adult to become a magical girl?"

Xiao Yuanyuan looked puzzled and patted the angry kitten to comfort it.

"But it seems like Mami-sister is only in the third year of middle school, right?"

"I don't know if you're pretending or if you really look innocent. It really embarrasses me."

Sayaka raised her hand and knocked on Madoka's head. "Anyway, Madoka, don't even think about magical girls. It's too early for you."

Xiaoyuan rubbed the place where she hit her: "But I am a girl now, right?"

"I'm telling you... Never mind, Madoka, it's fine like this."

Sayaka looked down at Yimi: "What about the black-haired transfer student? Is her soul gem like this too?"

"Ah."

Yimi nodded: "I asked her to see the Soul Stone, and then she rubbed my neck."

"..."

She'd definitely be angry! Under normal circumstances, who would openly show this thing to others like Senior Mami?

Sayaka recalled Homura Akemi's behavior today and couldn't help but nodded, feeling a little sympathy and understanding for her. If that was the case, it would be natural for her to be angry because Imi asked for the Soul Gem, right?

No, no, no, it's probably just because that woman is a pervert. Although I should be angry if someone else wants this, it's totally unreasonable for her to pull out a gun and abuse the cat just because of a disagreement yesterday.

She leaned over and tapped Yimi's forehead: "You are not allowed to study this thing for me anymore, do you hear me?"

The cat can't hear, and the cat's mission still requires a magical girl.

"What happened?"

As if they were attracted to each other, during lunch break when half of the students did not leave the school, they happened to bump into Mami who was out.

"Senior Mami? Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Kyubey."

Tomoe Mami's face was filled with worry, "I haven't seen this child in two days. I was wondering if something happened...Ah, are you the child from that day?"

She noticed Yimi's presence, put aside her worries, squatted down and greeted her: "Hello."

"Yellow people."

Yimi raised her hand and greeted her.

Sayaka quickly covered Yimi's mouth and smiled with Mami: "This child is really disrespectful."

Who can express it as bluntly as you? You really understand, don't you?

Tomoe Mami waved her hand to show she didn't care. "So this is the kid you know? He was buying a cookbook at the supermarket alone last night."

"By the way, have you seen Kyubey?"

Tomoe Mami vaguely remembered that Kyubey wanted to sign a contract with this kid... and then he disappeared.

"Didn't see it."

Yimi glanced away.

"Is that so?"

Tomoe Mami was disappointed, but she didn't get suspicious. "Although it does run away occasionally, it's rare for it to not contact me for two days like now."

Just focus on Madoka and Imi. After all, it is almost impossible to kill all Kyubeys.

"Does Mami-san's contractor also like to run around?"

Xiaoyuan looked down at Yimi who had run to the school.

"Most of the time, he lives in my house. Because he seems to have the ability to clone himself, he can sometimes accompany other magical girls? I don't know much about the details, and other people don't seem to have the same close relationship with Kyubey as I do."

"Other magical girls, so there are a lot of magical girls?"

Sayaka was surprised.

"There are more than just a lot. It seems like there's at least one magical girl in every city."

Tomoe Mami looked in a certain direction, "But there's only me in Mitakihara right now... No, there are two of us now."

There is also a girl named Homura Akemi whose origin is unknown. Even Kyubey can't explain her origin.

Yimi counted on his fingers and asked, "How many cities are there in the world?"

"There must be more than you can count with your fingers and toes."

Tomoe Mami patted her head and said, "Don't call me a yellow person anymore. Call me Sister Mami."

So many magical girls! No need to bother making kittens!

"Has Mami-san ever met other magical girls?"

"I've met him before. There was even a junior who fought alongside him for a while, but unfortunately we parted ways in the end due to differences in our philosophies."

Tomoe Mami didn't really want to talk about this topic and looked down at Yimi.

"Could this child be the kitten from yesterday? His voice and speaking style are similar."

They are also passionate about food.

"That's true."

Sayaka nodded, "She's preparing to sign a magical girl contract, but..."

"Is that so?"

Tomoe Mami nodded.

She originally thought that she had brought unnecessary expectations to her juniors. After all, Kyubey had said that he wanted to sign a contract with this child, which meant that they were not from the same origin.

Sayaka touched her chin: "But since there are so many magical girls, can I be one too?"

No, no, no, forget about this type of magical girl! Although it would be nice to have a wish granted.

"If you're feeling lost, why not come watch me fight tonight? I still have the confidence to protect you."

Sayaka held Xiaoyuan's hand and glanced to the side: "Well, we are going to the hospital to visit a friend tonight, so we may not have time."

Although senior Mami is a very gentle person, she is really not interested in magical girls, and she doesn't want her best friend to become a magical girl!

Come to think of it, that transfer student also warned me that if I stayed as I was and didn't become a magical girl, I'd be happy, right? After all, how this magical girl would gain power was still unknown. I overheard a boy in my class say that there was a dark magical girl who used some extremely inappropriate method to replenish her magic power...

She wants to protect Madoka from becoming a magical girl!

Chapter 12: The Magical Girl from the Neighboring City.

The kitten was very unhappy. She had already decided to help Madoka become a magical girl, but was stopped by the blue-haired guy at the last moment. She hoped that when she grew up she would not become an adult who wanted one thing and did another.

"That's only natural, right? We didn't know the true nature of magical girls was like this before. Mami-san had no choice, but it's not Madoka's turn to make such a sacrifice when her family and friends are happy."

"What is the essence of a magical girl...? And what does sacrifice mean?"

Madoka still looked at Sayaka in confusion.

"You don't have to ask so clearly. In short, Madoka, you should never become a magical girl."

Sayaka poked Yimi's forehead and said, "You'd better not study such unhealthy things. If I see you trying to sign a contract with Xiaoyuan one day, I will beat your ass."

Faced with the threat, Yimi pointed at her unhappily and asked: "What's your name?"

"Miki Sayaka, you didn't remember my name yesterday, did you?"

Yimi still pointed at her: "Small fish Sayaka."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Sayaka pinched both sides of Yimi's face and said, "You should save these kinds of things for boys."

Hearing this, Yimi looked at her in surprise: "You are a girl!"

It was as if she had forgotten that she had short hair before.

"What are you so surprised about, you naughty little elf...it's already this late, Madoka, let's go back and have lunch, otherwise we won't have the energy to attend classes this afternoon."

"Well, Yimi, you haven't eaten yet, right? Here's something for you. Don't run around outside anymore. Come home after you eat."

The kind-hearted Xiaoyuan held Sayaka and gave some of her pocket money to Yimi.

unhappy.

Watching the two people leave, Yimi did not give up. She trotted out and took out Kyubey's body from an alley, staring at the red pattern on its back that had made her feel strange before.

Yimi summoned the "World" and reached directly for its back with her hands, which overwrote reality. She hadn't noticed anything unusual when she chopped the meat into pieces while cooking, but now it flew open like a mecha hatch, revealing a space leading to an unknown destination.

This is where the Kyubeys collect energy. When the witches are defeated and drop Seeds of Sorrow, they will be used by the magical girls to purify their soul gems immediately. In fact, even after they think they have used up the Seeds, there will still be a huge amount of energy retained in them, which will be recovered by Kyubey through the door on the back.

Normally, when a Kyubey dies, the door behind it will also "close", but the [world] restores it back.

Yimi looked around but couldn't figure it out, so he simply took out a handful of cat grass and stuffed it into the space: "I want a way to sign a magical girl."

"..."

……

What Kyubey possesses is more like "technology" rather than "power", so when faced with Homura Akemi's pursuit, they did not immediately launch a more direct counterattack.

It seemed that he judged that it was too dangerous to approach her rashly, and there was even a risk of technology leakage. This time, the lone Qiubi did not run out to talk to Yimi.

The energy converted from emotions will not have entropy. The technology that changes the essence of the human soul is all for the purpose of them becoming witches and truly providing energy for the universe. However, the final result is that the magical girls of the witches are still destined to be sacrificed, and may even be killed by their former companions in the end.

This is a bad thing, cats won't do it.

But isn't a magical girl a girl who can do magic? Otherwise, my gentle mother wouldn't be interested in such a thing, so there must be other ways to become a better magical girl.

It is difficult for magical girls to replenish their magic power on their own, but if the third method can be used to create an external object, a magic power reservoir like the Fuyuki Holy Grail, and then connect it to the magical girl, perhaps a better magical girl can be created.

Yimi is now lying on the bus to the neighboring city, sightseeing on the open-air second floor.

She used her cat form to randomly find a bus and slipped on it. In fact, the kitten couldn't even tell which bus was going to the village and which was going to other cities. It all depended on luck.

The bus is like a sightseeing bus, with two levels and no roof, but it can be used in bad weather.

There are even curved bridges on the road, but the road is full of rugged routes and dense buildings, and there are no tourist wonders.

It wasn't Sayaka's threat that was effective, but what Mami said, that every city has at least one magical girl.

Yimi wanted to go see the magical girls in other cities first, but now she hasn't made any progress at all.
