Accompanied by the dull sound of the thick heels hitting the concrete floor, the crimson light spot in Kyoko's hand quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it became a double-headed gun much taller than the girl.
With the spear on her back, the girl turned around.
"What a surprise, you actually came out? I'm still wondering if I'll take the initiative to grab you. However, it's a lot easier."
Looking at the strange magical girl in front of her, Kyoko wandered around without a trace, first she landed on the opponent's empty hands, then her eyes paused for a moment on the small round shield, and then followed the visitor's path. The body lifts up to her face.
He is not equipped with any obvious weapons, so it is impossible to determine the fighting style he is good at for the time being, but judging by the small buckler, he is probably a steady and steady type.
Silently collecting and analyzing the opponent's information, Kyoko secretly clenched the barrel of the gun, turned her body slightly, and hid her midline to reduce the exposed attack surface.
The abilities of the magical girl will be strange because of the wish. Even if the magic power content and combat experience are richer than the other party, it is not impossible to capsize the ship under the carelessness.Since becoming a magical girl, she has been living a life of fighting witches and magical girls. Kyoko understands the importance of not underestimating the enemy in battle better than anyone else.
Like Mami, she can own the hegemony of a city by herself, but it never depends on strength alone.
"Hey, it's really a new face. It seems that you are the one Chubby said, right? The magical girl who shared Mitakihara with Mami. Why, are you so impatient to drive out the outsiders?"
While provoking with words naturally, he held the barrel of the gun in his right hand and leaned the spear against his shoulder. This seemingly careless move used the body of the gun to further jam the opponent's position when attacking from the front, and occupied the center line first.
He has had fighting experience in various environments, and street fighting, the most common encounter in the city, is naturally no stranger to Kyoko.At first glance, as a pike user, she may not have the advantage in this narrow terrain, but in fact, the trouble of a pike weapon in street fighting is beyond the imagination of laymen.
In street fighting, as long as you take the first step to occupy the center line, with the same skill level, the spear can make most cold weapons come and go.
Although she doesn't know the opponent's weapons and fighting methods, but relying on experience and words and deeds to induce her to gradually gain advantages, this is already a routine tactic for Kyoko.
"..."
Akami Homura noticed Sakura Kyoko's verbal provocation and petty gestures, but was unmoved.
For Xiao Meiyan, who has been reincarnated several times, what she learned from Zheng Yi is not only course knowledge and life philosophy.
——as well as insights and means to deal with battles.
"Tsk. Why are you a boring gourd, at least you can change your expression?"
Kyoko suddenly showed a somewhat impatient expression towards the expressionless and unshakable Akami Homura.The girl smacked her lips, grabbed her hair vigorously with her free left hand, and scolded him with an irritable expression.
"Hello? I said, what on earth do you want to do? If you have something to say, hurry up and do it if you want to fight. Stand there like a porcelain doll. I have never been interested in puppet shows and pantomime!"
As she said that, Kyoko naturally took two steps towards Akami Homura.
With her calm eyes moving down slightly, Xiao Meiyan looked at the position where Kyoko moved up, and then raised her eyes to look at the girl whose face became more and more manic.
The dangerous aura of "I'll do it if you don't talk anymore" has not restrained at all, and Xiao Meiyan is also very clear that those two simple steps have actually changed the distance between herself and Kyoko from the original safe distance. A somewhat dangerous distance.
I am now within the attackable range of Sakura Kyoko.
After several reincarnations, Xiaomeiyan naturally knew that the place that the gun could touch was much farther than it seemed.
"Why did you come to see Takihara?"
"what?"
Xiao Meiyan's voice always seemed cold and ethereal, as if she didn't hear her words clearly, Kyoko frowned and raised her eyes, staring at her with a puzzled expression.
"Why did you come to see Takihara?"
"Cooperating with you so far away from me just to ask this?"
She waved her hand angrily, and the little fighting spirit on Xingzi's face turned into powerless fly ash in an instant like sparks washed away by ice water.
"I thought you were following me, at least you were ready to do something, should I say that birds of a feather flock together? Really... no wonder you can share this city with Mami."
".Why did you come to see Takihara?"
"Are you a repeater?!"
"..."
Facing the scolding of the spear girl, Xiao Meiyan was silent for a while, and then calmly spoke again.
"...Why did you come to see Takihara City?"
"I really—"
Kyoko, who looked desperate, was about to lower her center of gravity, but she suddenly paused as if she had thought of something, and the girl who narrowed her eyes slightly returned to the same posture just now, and took a deep breath.
"It's enough to spoil the fun, if you want to fight, do it, if you don't want to fight, get out, I won't answer any of your questions. Don't ask me why I didn't answer—"
Angrily, she rolled her eyes at Xiao Meiyan, and Kyoko suddenly squatted down.Immediately afterwards, the girl's petite body jumped into the air, stepped on the left wall, and then bounced back to the right wall with force, and repeated this several times, and the effort disappeared in the blink of an eye. into the night.
Only one restless sentence was left echoing in the small alley.
"—I'm asking because I don't like you!"
"..."
Looking up to watch Kyoko disappear, she straightened her head to confirm that Sakura Kyoko had indeed left Yuki, and then Akami Homura put the small detonation button that she had been holding tightly in her right hand behind the small buckler.Walking slowly to where Kyoko was standing just now, the girl squatted down and took out two capsule-sized objects from the shadow of the walls on both sides, and put them into the shield together.
This is a specially-made explosive bomb that contains strong irritating smoke. It has no direct lethality, but the concentrated smoke after the explosion is highly irritating to the human body. Even if a magical girl suffers from this, she will lose her judgment in a short time .
For Xiao Meiyan, there may only be a short gap of two or three seconds, which is enough for her to activate the magic pause time and escape from Kyoko's gun circle.
The moment Kyoko found her and transformed, Akatsuki Homura had already placed the two special bullets in the shadows on Kyoko's left and right by relying on time stop magic.Normally, Sakura Kyoko might not be able to hide it from her, but Akami Homura understands that when the two sides confront each other, with Sakura Kyoko's degree of caution in dealing with the battle, most of the attention will be on herself in the first encounter, and there is a high probability that she will Ignore these two special rounds.
Although it was useless in the end, it was an acceptable development for Xiaomei Homura that there was no battle.
As for Sakura Kyoko's reluctance to answer why she came to Mitakihara...
"Is it the Incubator again..."
In fact, she has already told Xiao Meiyan in her own way.
PS:
Humans are incomprehensible to each other (dead)
Remember not to skip this chapter, otherwise you may not be able to understand why Xiao Meiyan was able to detect Chubby in the end
As for why Xingzi refused to do anything, everyone will understand after thinking about it seriously.If it still doesn't make sense, I'll reveal it in tomorrow's chapter
In fact, I often bury the foreshadowing. I hope that even if you skip reading, you will go back and read it when you have doubts, because I will probably have already buried the foreshadowing in the front.
Of course, there may indeed be plot errors, maybe (escape)
cough
Well, today's done
End
good night
Chapter 59: The relationship of trust between the two
"Speak up, Mami."
"what happened?"
As usual, after the meal, the two stood side by side in the kitchen cleaning and arranging the tableware. While skillfully wiping off the water stains on the plate and putting it into the disinfection cabinet, Mami naturally responded to Zheng Yi's topic.
"You told me before that you have a junior partner as a magical girl named Sakura Kyoko, right?"
Mami's arm that was about to put the plate into the disinfection cabinet trembled slightly, and then moved freely again, put down the cleaned plate, and then took the porcelain bowl from Zheng Yi.
"Yes, why did the teacher suddenly ask this?"
"Where should I start..."
Mami raised her eyes and looked at Zheng Yi's side face. The man seemed to be thinking about how to explain this matter to her. There was a trace of hesitation in his frowning brows and eyes, and he seemed to be carefully considering his words.
Mami didn't go to urge her. She knew that Zheng Yi was never an aimless person. The sudden mention of Kyoko during the chat might have something to do with his rare late return today.Although she was a little anxious in her heart, looking at the serious and considerate face, Mami felt that there was no need to worry.
If it was something that needed to be kept secret from myself, then the teacher would not have raised this topic from the very beginning.
For Mami, the sense of trust she gave Zheng Yi and the sense of stability Zheng Yi gave her are always equal or even surpassed.
Accompanied by the tacit cooperation between the two without any jerk, most of the heavy dishes, chopsticks and spoons were cleaned up by Zheng Yi's thinking.
After pondering for a long time, Zheng Yi finally let go of the tangle between his brows.Handing the last cup to Mami's palm, he picked up a towel beside him and wiped off the water droplets on his hands, then turned to look at Mami who was finishing the disinfection cabinet for the last time.
"This afternoon, I met a child on the way back from grocery shopping. In terms of appearance, it is very close to your description, Mami, but because I haven't seen a picture of the child, I can't make a conclusion. But in terms of personality ...It’s obviously a bit different, but considering Mami, you once said the reason why you and the child parted ways, I’m afraid it was a series of events at that time that caused her to change her mentality and thinking.”
"...So, teacher, do you think that Kyoko has come to Mitakihara City?"
"Just guessing."
"Well, since you said so, teacher, it seems that it is indeed Kyoko."
After closing the door of the disinfection cabinet, Mami turned around and smiled at Zheng Yi, her face was not as restless or hesitant as Zheng Yi was worried about earlier.
The golden tulips, as always, bloomed so gracefully.
Taking a closer look at Mami's expression, Zheng Yi smiled and shook his head.
"I thought you might be a little shaken by this news, but it seems that Mami is much stronger than I thought."
"If it was in the past, maybe I would have behaved even more unbearably."
But now, if you don't do this, you will never be able to catch up with your footsteps.
I am well aware of this, sir.
"This is really..."
Leaning down, Zheng Yi raised his hand to tidy Mami's hair that was a little messy due to labor.Carefully combing the girl's soft hair behind her ears one by one, Zheng Yi subconsciously rubbed against Mami's hair for a comfortable touch from his fingertips, and then slowly retracted his palms and straightened up.
"You've grown up, Mami."
"……Thank you, teacher……"
-
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Mami rubbed a pair of mahogany photo frames.The photo with the backlight makes people not see the pattern on it very clearly. The only thing that can be regarded as clear is that it seems that two girls are side by side, which is probably a photo of Mami and someone.
There are three photo frames on the dressing table, one is a larger light yellow one, the other is a medium-sized dark black one, and the mahogany photo frame that is currently being held in hand.
Of course, these are not the only three photos of the girl, but Mami's favorite three.
There are many photos that she cherishes, the ones with her parents, the ones with Zheng Yi now, and...
Thinking of the dinner conversation between the two at Zheng Yi's home today, Mami involuntarily wanted to look at this photo full of memories again.
"Apricot..."
