Leaning on the sofa, facing the opened floor-to-ceiling windows, Zheng Yi looked up at the empty ceiling, murmuring some vague words.
Just like what he thought of when he first learned about the relationship between witches and magical girls and humans, Sakura Kyoko can be said to be the first magical girl who confirmed Zheng Yi's worries that day.
This world is forming a strange food chain.
Magical girls hunt witches, witches hunt humans.
But this relationship has an obvious problem in Zheng Yi's view.
According to Mami and Akami Homura, Chubby said that magical girls are a group that existed a long time ago. Although the connection between witches and magical girls has been downplayed in Chubby's description, in Zheng Yi's view, they are like coins. The two sides are different aspects with a wonderful connection.
Well, the problem is coming.
If it is said that the emergence of magical girls is to eradicate witches, then why have witches not been eradicated for so many years?In such a long history, how did the witch appear, and why can she be killed endlessly?Although the familiar may evolve into a witch after preying on a certain number of humans, this situation obviously cannot explain everything.
As for where the witch came from, the girls seem to know nothing, and few people have asked Chubby.
At least among her students, only Xiao Meiyan showed a subtle expression when she heard Zheng Yi's question.
"If I make a wild guess..."
This uncomfortable familiarity made Zheng Yi inevitably think of something, but at this moment, Zheng Yi hoped that his guess was wrong, and hoped that someone would prove that this was just his nervousness A rambling idiotic guess.
But no matter how the lingering uneasiness and increasingly intense anger burned his mind, Zheng Yi still spoke in a calm voice as much as possible.
"A witch is actually another form of a magical girl—"
Turned.Looking at Xiao Meiyan, who was next to him at some point, Zheng Yi showed a smile that looked like he was about to cry for the first time.
"Or, is it a kind of ending for magical girls?"
To gain strength is to bear pain.
To protect the one you love is to bear the karma of killing.
The only way to stop violence is to wield violence.
——The Kamen Rider and the weirdo have always been inseparable.
Only when there are still weird people in the world, can Kamen Rider be active in the dark and broaden the long-term future for the bright road.But when all the evils are wiped out and the weirdos completely disappear in this world...
Kamen Rider became the last [Weird].
How similar?
When everything is over and the peace that the knights and girls fought for seems to have finally arrived, how should these heroes of the past survive in the peaceful world they fought for?
How can this body that is no longer human walk in the world that is finally filled with light?
While praying for the arrival of peace, they can only live in struggle.
If you don't fight, you can't survive.
This is……
"...Yes, once the soul gem is completely polluted, then the magical girl will become a witch, this is..."
Fate of the Kamen Rider.
"The fate of a magical girl."
The girl looked at Zheng Yi calmly, and even after uttering such cruel words, she still maintained that stable appearance.
Indifferent, quiet, without changing expression, without any waves.
"Is that so... that's right..."
Trying to loosen the subconsciously clenched fists, Zheng Yi closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then opened them again, and looked seriously at Xiao Meiyan who seemed to be waiting for her to speak.
"Student Xiaomei, I have a question to ask you, I hope you can answer me truthfully."
"Please say."
"you……."
When the words came to his lips, he hesitated unconsciously. Zheng Yi often has confidence in his own ideas and at the same time will rigorously verify them. But now, when his ideas are really confirmed one after another, he is here. There was undue wavering in front of the last question.
If my conjectures are all correct, does that mean that I have actually failed many times?
If so...
No, if that's the case, there is really no time to hesitate here!
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Yi expressed his last question in a clear tone.
"Student Xiaomeiyan, can you manipulate time and even turn back time?"
"......really......"
Under Zheng Yi's nervous gaze, the girl didn't show any surprise when she heard the words. Instead, she smiled with a relieved attitude, and the cold marks on her face quickly faded away, like a mountain stream in spring.
"Teacher, no matter which time I can't hide it from you."
PS:
End
good night
Chapter 68: This is my greed
That night, Zheng Yi and Xiao Meiyan chatted very late and talked a lot.
As if she had finally found someone she could confide in, Xiao Meiyan shed her always cold disguise in front of Zheng Yi for the first time.Although there is still a sad atmosphere that is close to obsession, at least on that night, the girl always had a satisfied smile in her conversation with Zheng Yi.
It seemed that as long as she could have a face-to-face long talk with Zheng Yi like this, it would be quite a happy thing for her.
From the relationship between the witch and the magical girl, to what kind of enemies they have encountered in countless reincarnations, Zheng Yi and Xiao Meiyan seem to want to say everything that can be said.Even if it's simply a sigh from the girl's perspective, even if it's simply listening to the girl's sorrow and pain, even if it's simply sharing the girl's joy and joy.For Zheng Yi, these are all important and new things.
Listening to a person who has gone through countless reincarnations tell you about "your" experience, in Zheng Yi's life of less than 20 years, and even in the life of unknown years in the future, this can definitely be called a unique experience .
Laugh together, grieve together, and be silent together.
Xiao Meiyan used her words to describe all kinds of reincarnation for Zheng Yi.
Of course, Zheng Yi did not forget the most important thing.
"Student Xiaomei."
"I understand that to the teacher, I may still be a child with a little estrangement, but even so, I still hope you call me Yan."
"...Homo, although I can already guess some, but I still hope to get an answer from you—"
Clenching his fists, Zheng Yi's eyes met those of the girl.
"What is it for you to go back and forth in reincarnation over and over again?"
"What do you think?"
"Is my answer different every time I reincarnate?"
"That's not true. In fact, in most cases, your answers are the same, but sometimes, it will become another answer."
And the answer I least expect you to think of.
"..."
Seeing the teary-eyed girl in front of him who was still willing to show a smile to him, Zheng Yi knew that the appearance in front of him at this time was Xiao Meiyan's real posture.
Akami Homura is neither a hero who wants to save the world, nor a vengeful ghost full of obsession.Those ice-like barriers are just the city walls she was forced to build little by little in the cycle of reincarnation—but they are effective but still protect herself, but to protect her loved ones on the other side of the city wall, and then push herself to the other side of the city wall. There is this end of the enemy.
That was to let the girl understand that no matter when she had no way out, her back could only stick tightly to that icy city wall from the beginning to the end.Only by destroying the enemies in front of you can you turn around without any scruples and push back the gap you created, and embrace those you love deeply again.
Every reincarnation of Xiao Meiyan is a desperate battle.
Circumstances change people.
Responsibility and obsession forced her to become indifferent.
Fortunately, under those layers of protective shells, the girl still retains the light of the past after all.
This shows that the situation may not be so bad, and maybe I have not failed. In those countless reincarnations, not every time I failed to protect these lovely flower buds.
But if this is the case, Xiaomeiyan still insists on continuing to reincarnate...
His eyes flickered for a moment, Zheng Yi's stagnation due to thinking was too short, if he hadn't been focusing on him all the time, he would definitely have missed this moment of stiffness.He looked at Xiao Meiyan and asked with a smile, "Is it because I haven't been able to protect everyone well?"
"……right."
Staring closely at Zheng Yi's dark pupils, the smile on Xiao Meiyan's face revealed a sense of helplessness for some reason.The girl wiped the water from the corners of her eyes, stretched out her hands to cover the back of Zheng Yi's right hand, and murmured some vague words softly.
"Teacher, you really failed to protect each of us completely. No matter which reincarnation it is, you have failed."
After all, if the magical girl dies with her own heart, even if her life has not been taken, she is nothing more than a walking corpse.
"That's it... It seems that whether I am a teacher or a hero, I am still far behind."
Hearing Xiao Meiyan's reply, Zheng Yi did not show any extreme reaction, but showed a look of relief similar to "Sure enough, I failed the exam".It seemed that Xiao Meiyan's answer was already in his expectation. Hearing the other party's response at this moment, although it was unavoidable to be frustrated, it would not be hysterical.
"But it doesn't matter, I will help the teacher. For sure, it can end everything this time."
"That's really a reliable boost! In comparison, my classroom looks a bit embarrassing..."
Sighing, Zheng Yi shrank his neck in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Xiao Meiyan didn't say any more, just shook her head quietly, then gently opened Zheng Yi's palm, and stood up.
"Are you going?"
"Well, after all, it's already this time."
Looking at Zheng Yi with some reluctance, Xiao Meiyan crossed the floor-to-ceiling windows with brisk steps and jumped onto the high window sill.The falling moonlight and the night wind rolled up the pure white gauze curtains on both sides, and the flexible and bright outlines a melodious arc, as if to sink the girl's face and figure into the moonlight bit by bit. now.
As if kicking an elegant dance step, Xiao Meiyan turned around, turned her back to the empty space behind her, and faced Zheng Yi in front of her.
Since I was a child, I have been telling myself to learn to be content and happy.To be able to be satisfied with what I have, so just by embracing the little thing I have, I can smile happily and gain the courage to continue living from it.
So in the beginning, there were only two people I wanted to save.
One is Madoka.
The other one is you.
Whether it's Madoka who gave me a precious friendship, or you who made me regain my health, they are all indispensable parts of my life.
