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

Xunzi squatted down beside her, stared at her for a long time, and smiled slightly: "You look like you have something on your mind. You should take a good bath after playing in the dirt for a while."

Even though she is often busy with work and sometimes doesn't come home until after dinner due to internal affairs or social engagements, she is also an excellent spiritual mentor to Madoka. She has to guide many topics that Chiku can't join in.

"I want to study heat death."

Although it has little to do with her mission.

"Is the quilt I prepared for you too hot? So, did you kick it off last night?"

Ordinary people will certainly not come across this word unless it is necessary.

"It's entropy increase, and then heat death."

Yimi crossed his arms and said, "The universe will end one day."

"?"

The unexpected topic made Xunzi think that he was still drunk.

Generally speaking, isn't being emo at this age just the first time they're aware of death? Knowing they'll die one day makes them so sad they can't eat. Why worry about something so far away when you don't even know when you'll die? And what cartoon taught this term?

Xunzi patted her head and said, "That's not your concern. Do you know how big the universe is?"

"The universe contains the Earth, and the Earth is round!"

"Then do you know how big the Earth is?"

"It's very, very big."

Yimi has seen the Earth from space.

"Compared to the Earth, the universe is incredibly vast. Compared to the entire universe, the Earth might not even be the size of a cell... That's too early for you to use that word. Another way to put it is, it might not even be the size of an ant."

"So it's not our turn to worry about such distant things. Has anyone ever worried about the sun going out? Or even closer, the end of the Earth? That's what our generation needs to think about, but it's not something we, as small individuals, can change."

She didn't go into detail about the relationship behind this, because the children wouldn't understand anyway.

Yimi looked at Xunzi in confusion: "The sun is so small, why aren't you worried?"

She raised her hands to block her head from seeing the sun. If the sun disappeared one day, she would not be able to sleep comfortably during the day.

"Haha."

Xunzi rubbed her head helplessly.

You're just a little kid, and you're already worrying about the end of the universe without even knowing how big the sun is?

"Do you want to eat anything for lunch tomorrow?"

Xunzi suddenly changed the subject.

"Fish fillet."

"You want some fish fillet?"

Xunzi nodded and looked at Zhijiu who was busy with housework, "No, I want my husband to make stir-fried green peppers for you tomorrow!"

"Green pepper!"

Yimi looked at the evil woman in shock.

"You don't want to eat? Then come and give me a shoulder massage. I'm really tired after working all day. What do you think? It's easy to change tomorrow's plans."

Xunzi sat on a bench in the yard and patted his side. "By the way, let me tell you a foreign story. I think it's called 'The Man Worrying About the Sky Falling from the Sky'."

Xunzi was completely out of sync with Yimi and failed to enlighten her.

……

After washing up with Xiaoyuan, Yimi jumped onto her bed, and before that, she picked an 'orange' from Zhijiu's vegetable garden to continue trying miracles.

"Is this how you make a magical girl?"

Qiubi crawled out of the soil at some point and lay on the balcony staring at Yimi.

Yimi glanced at it and buried her head in the quilt to prevent it from seeing her.

"Besides 'miracle', there's another power I haven't seen before. It's clearly a magical power, which is really rare."

The only power that Kyubey has not seen that can be used to worry about issues like heat death is the one that makes up the universe.

"Although you have the potential to create endless energy, it's naive to imagine creating enough energy to eliminate the entire universe's entropy crisis all at once. It's like the most common swimming pool problem: adding water while draining it simultaneously, the two openings are disproportionate, so it's impossible to achieve a stable horizontal surface."

Yimi crawled out of the quilt and sat in a duck position, looking at Qibi, the food he planned to fry tomorrow.

She folded her arms over her shoulders in a formal manner: "I'm thinking about a problem."

"question?"

Kyubey tilted his head.

Yimi threw the orange upwards and caught it accurately: "Why is it falling downwards?"

"This question was already considered by a man named Newton on Earth a hundred years ago. This is because gravity exists on Earth."

"gravitational?"

"It's simple physics, just like when water is poured onto a flame, it forms a large amount of water vapor, which absorbs a large amount of heat and lowers the temperature. At the same time, the water vapor surrounding the fire isolates the oxygen and extinguishes the flame."

Yimi shook her head, totally confused: "Then why can't fire ignite water?"

"Of course, pure water and fire won't work, as long as their elements haven't changed. If they can be ignited, their elements are no longer ordinary fire or water. This is the most fundamental phenomenon in the universe."

Yimi still didn't understand, and she was too young to express what she wanted to say.

If it is just pure water and pure fire, but the pure fire burns the water, or to be more extreme, pure water "burns" on pure fire, why can't it be like this?

Under Kyubey's gaze, a pure white muscular stand-in appeared beside Yimi, and placed his hands, which were combined with miracles, on the fruit that Yimi thought was an orange but was actually a lemon.

-

"What are you doing? You asked me out even though we haven't even spoken a few words."

Sayaka pretended to check her watch and glanced at her empty wrist.

She also had an appointment with Renmei (another good friend) and said she wanted to discuss something with her.

"Just as a conversation between magical girls."

Homura Akemi replied expressionlessly, "I had the impression that you were very opposed to becoming a magical girl."

"What do you care..."

Sayaka blushed and tilted her head, whispering, "Well, I signed a contract with Yimi, so I don't have to pay that kind of price."

"The price?"

Homura Akemi frowned.

She already knows?

If it was true, she would feel depressed. In the past, no matter how softly she spoke, the other party didn't believe her. Why did they trust the new person so easily?

"Do I have to say it myself? It's just..."

Sayaka leaned over to Homura Akemi's ear and whispered softly.

"?"

"Ah! I have an appointment, so I won't accompany you if there's nothing else!"

Sayaka ran away.

"?"

Homura Akemi lowered her head in confusion.

Despite this reaction, she didn't understand what Sayaka said at all. Although the time of reincarnation added up to a year, she was only familiar with the knowledge learned in class for this month at most, and didn't know much beyond that.

But this seemed to be the key to why people were turned away from becoming a magical girl. She had to write it down and go back online to check what it was.

Chapter 22 Do you regret it?

Shizuku Akemi, a real lady, is also a good friend of Sayaka and Madoka.

It’s like everyone’s social circle is in the form of a three-person group, and there is always one person in the three-person group who has less common topics with the other two people.

That's not the case. It's just that because of some classes arranged by her family, she often separated from the two of them halfway after school. That's why she didn't meet Homura Akemi and Imi killing Kyubey together with Madoka and the others.

Today he said he had something to discuss with Sayaka and made an appointment to talk to her alone at the cake shop.

"I've been hiding this from Madoka and Sayaka."

Hitomi folded her hands and looked at Sayaka seriously, "Actually, I've admired Kamijou Kyousuke for a long time."

"Is this... like this?"

The words were so sudden that Sayaka didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I didn't expect it to be Hitomi."

Sayaka forced a smile, "Kyousuke is such a worry."

"Sayaka-san and Kamijou-san are childhood friends, right?"

Renmei suddenly changed the way she addressed Sayaka, "I've decided not to lie to myself anymore. What about Sayaka? Can you face your feelings head-on?"

"..."

"Sayaka is my important friend. I don't want to rush ahead or steal her away. You've been with him longer than I have, so you have the right to rush ahead of me."

"Hitomi..."

"I'm going to confess my feelings to Kamijou-san after school tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you all day. Please make a choice you won't regret."

She stood up, bowed slightly to Sayaka, and left.

"..."

……

……

Sayaka's transformation into a magical girl is almost irreversible. Homura Akemi clearly knows this through her several reincarnations, and the biggest step towards despair she experienced was the incident with Hitomi.

She is actually quite thin-skinned. In one reincarnation, she had a very good relationship with Mami Tomoe...or rather, she had a good relationship with Mami Tomoe in most timelines.

Then, although he also didn't know the nature of the Soul Stone, he gave up the opportunity to confess because he knew that he would not have the chance to have a normal relationship because he would have to fight against witches frequently and might die.

After that, Madoka couldn't help but question Kyosuke in front of both of them why he didn't find it strange, when the injury that had been declared incurable by modern medicine suddenly recovered overnight, and she directly told him that it was Sayaka's doing.

But in that situation, she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment and fled the scene. Then... she used up all her magic power.

It seemed as if she and the boy were not destined to be together. They were only one confession away from each other, but due to various reasons, they rarely got together in several timelines.

"what……"

Her first encounter with the witch herself was more sudden than she had imagined, but it wasn't as scary as she had imagined.

Because she doesn't need the Seed of Sorrow and her power isn't derived from emotions, her sensitivity to witches isn't as quick as Mami and the others. Even so, she's still the first magical girl to arrive at the scene.

Or rather, the witch appeared this time almost right next to her face.

Senior Mami once said that witches were born from despair. Does that mean that her heart is now full of negative emotions?

Sayaka lowered her head and looked at her former friend in the barrier.

Renmei has a mark on her neck. Since Kyubey is not around and she has not had much experience with the magical girl, of course she doesn't recognize it. This is a kiss mark used by the witch to induce despair, but it can be seen that it is definitely a bad thing.

Renmei has to practice dancing, piano and even tea ceremony, and has no time to play with friends. She must be under a lot of pressure, right?

Sayaka was stunned for a moment, even if it was only that moment, she still panicked for a moment about her own mood.

Because she couldn't tell whether the momentary daze was the panic of seeing her friend in danger, or the hesitation of not wanting to lend a helping hand when her rival was about to meet with misfortune.

"What are you thinking about? Go save your good friend!"

Without giving herself a chance to think, the girl quickly drew her sword and rushed forward.

"Don't hit my friend!"

Although the technique seems clumsy, this can be compensated by using magic output.

Even if she really put all her magic power into it in one breath, it would take more than ten seconds for her to recover enough strength to barely fight for a while, not to mention that under normal circumstances, a magical girl could not use such strong power to fight a witch.
