Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 215

A yearning for freedom.

Gradually, they became independent and self-reliant.

[Extending towards the horizon~ Towards even further~]

Having grown strong enough to fly, she left Lin's side to venture into a wider world.

【Vast and surging, sometimes meandering forward with the waves crashing against the shore, experiencing sunrise and sunset, and overcoming storms and waves~】

Lin watched her from afar, observing her stumbles and falls, and witnessing her growth.

And he had always looked forward to reuniting with her.

[Until the gentle sea welcomes them home~]

However......

Boom——!

Thunder and rain fell, soaking the earth.

One day, Lin suddenly realized that she had been focusing her attention on her own little spark, while neglecting another spark that needed even more care.

The little spark that didn't belong to her went out, turning into a familiar yet terrifying darkness that enveloped Lin.

Boom——

The rain poured down like a torrent, flowing into the sea.

After death, her memories became blurred, and Lin vaguely felt that everything she cherished was gradually disappearing and turning into nothingness.

Sorrow permeated her broken soul, almost drowning her in a sea of ​​grief.

But Lin did not completely lose hope, because she knew that her little spark had survived.

She hasn't lost everything yet.

Thanks to her obsession with the little spark, Lin managed to maintain that pitiful little bit of herself and gradually began to accumulate her own power.

She felt guilty towards the little spark she hadn't taken care of—Mio—but that was no excuse for working for a tiger; she would not become Mio's henchman.

As Mio gradually becomes complete, she absorbs some of the nutrients and begins to transform from a familiar into a witch.

She had been waiting for the moment when she would reunite with her little spark.

We've finally reunited, my dear little spark!

Finally, that day came.

Her little spark has traveled a long way, shining brightly like a star.

She waited for that moment.

As Ji completed her transformation, she also became—Flow.

Now, let us sing together once more, for the life you have shared is far grander than memories, richer than faded, precious words.

Now is the time when her spark needs her most.

"Little spark, my little spark."

Lin hugged Chuhua and gently held her in her arms.

The monster's tentacles gradually detached from her body and floated in the air, revealing long, golden hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.

“You must have gone through a lot during these years apart,” she said. “I’m sorry that Mom couldn’t be by your side.”

"Mother......"

Chu Hua lay quietly in Lin's arms, enjoying her warm embrace, tears streaming down her face.

She bit her lip and said it with difficulty.

"I miss you so much......"

【Sinking into the tranquil embrace~】

A tide of compassion is sweeping in, enveloping you layer by layer~

I miss you so much...

Lin gently kissed her daughter's forehead and whispered.

All traces of the monster had turned into dead skin and peeled away, and Lin had turned completely golden, emitting a faint glow.

The moment a magical girl becomes a witch, she loses consciousness and follows her deepest desires, transforming into a twisted form; this applies to Xiangzi as well.

But Lin is different. She rose from a familiar to a witch and gained a sense of self because of her nature. From the beginning, she had the power to decide her own appearance.

Rather than calling her a witch, it would be more appropriate to describe her as a saint.

The mist within the barrier enveloped her, and upon contact with the golden fluorescence covering her, it transformed into transparent, luminous mist that surrounded the mother and daughter.

“During that hazy period of my life, I heard your determination and saw the bond between you and your companions.”

From that distant, profound place, I have heard your voice and weighed every choice you make.

Chu Hua felt her body growing larger, moving closer and closer to Bsk. Bsk's helmet covered her face, but her frenzied rage did not surge forth.

She had never been so lucid before.

“I’m sorry, Chu Hua.” Lin lowered her eyes and said softly, “I can’t stop you from becoming a witch like that girl did, but… as long as I’m here, even if you become a witch, you can still maintain your true self.”

"Does that mean I can never turn back?" Chu Hua lowered her head, looking at her body, which had become completely inhuman.

The hyo beneath my feet looked as tiny as an ant.

Chu Hua had long since lost track of her own age.

Thirty meters? Fifty meters?

Maybe more than that.

"I'm sorry... my little spark..."

Lin held her daughter tightly inside the barrier within Bsk's body.

There's no way to truly save you.

"Mom, don't do this."

Chu Hua held her mother's hand, turned around, and said with a smile.

"Being able to be with you in the end is enough."

She turned her head and looked at Mio, whose expression was ferocious and whose eyes seemed to want to tear the earth apart.

"Let's use this last bit of time to get what we were supposed to get done."

"Ah."

Lin nodded and took Chuhua's hand.

"Let's do it together."

"With Dad's share."

"And those souls that were devoured and imprisoned by Mio."

Lin opened her mouth and sang an unknown ballad.

That was one of the stories she collected.

It was her favorite story.

"Now, together we will fulfill the meaning you have been searching for for so long."

More and more souls gathered around them, as if they had found a beacon of salvation. Like moths to a flame, they plunged into Chu Hua's body, making Bsk's body grow larger and larger.

"If you see souls rising towards the sea, wish them a safe journey."

Is Bsk strong as a witch?

She's very strong, but there are limits. Even if she were fully transformed into a witch, she couldn't compare to Cascade, who possesses flowers and has already fully ascended to immortality. Mio hadn't even considered Hatsuka's witch transformation a real threat to begin with.

Is Ryu, the form Lin transformed into, very strong?

She is not strong, or even weak. After being promoted from a familiar to a witch, she gave up all her combat abilities. Her only function is to stabilize raging souls.

But when they were combined, it exceeded Mio's expectations.

The ability to stabilize a raging soul extends beyond just Chu Hua; Lin can even soothe the souls controlled by Mio within the barrier.

Those souls yearning for redemption are like moths drawn to light, flying towards Bsk and becoming a part of it. (2007, 1909, 3) (Balui)

If this continues, all the souls stored within the barrier will be attracted to it.

can not be like this.

This cannot go on.

It's completely out of control.

Mio raised her head and stared menacingly at Bsk, which was as tall as a building.

Despite being a symbol of a ferocious beast, it now exudes a solemn and dignified aura, with several eyes huddled together on the left side of its head silently watching Mio, as if pitying her.

"you--"

I don't need your pity!

With gritted teeth, Mio waved her hand, and a hole suddenly appeared in the black mist above the canyon. A suction force emanated from the hole, lifting Bsk's body off the ground.

Chu Hua tumbled and struggled in mid-air, trying to grab onto the nearby rock wall, but to no avail.

Mio raised her hand, and the suction force of the sky suddenly surged, throwing Bsk out.

"Get out of here!"

boom--!

The sound of something cutting through the air almost ripped Chu Hua's ears apart, and within seconds her view was suddenly thrown out from the pitch-black canyon abyss.

The air suddenly became fresh, and a wide-open space opened up before her, bathed in the clear moonlight.

"Eh?"

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment.

She realized she was flying in the sky.

Then, the moon began to move further away; it was setting.

"Roar----!"

A gaping maw stopped its descent, biting the beast's body in its mouth.

The sea breeze howled, and the sky suddenly darkened. Cascade, with Bsk in its jaws, plunged straight into the rippling sea from the sky.

The monster, thousands of meters long, carrying a beast about half the size of its head in its mouth, disappeared into the sea.

Rumble————!

[Breaking News! According to the Japanese Meteorological Observatory, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake has occurred in the southern offshore area of ​​the Ryukyu Islands, with a focal depth of 20 kilometers. The earthquake is expected to trigger a tsunami exceeding five meters in height, which will pass through the Ryukyu Islands within one hour. Residents of the Ryukyu Islands are urged to evacuate immediately!]

Heaven and earth trembled, and the sea swelled up with their battle, gradually turning into an expanding circle, becoming a sky-covering wave. From the position of the horn, the wave looked like a wall, growing higher and higher, becoming like a high mountain.

The ship was filled with all sorts of wailing and lamentation, with people crammed onto the deck, waiting for death to come.

The rift in the ship, torn open by the tentacles, had been filled with a considerable amount of seawater, causing the entire ship to tilt and sink every second.

Just like the Titanic, it will keep sinking until the entire ship becomes vertical, and everyone will fall into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Then the stern will break off due to the pressure and "bang," it will break in two and sink into the water.

The middle of the ship was already under immense pressure and cracks were beginning to appear; the ship was also listing at a significant angle.

However, the Scroll is not the Titanic; it has sufficient life-saving equipment to save everyone. In fact, two thousand people have already boarded lifeboats during this time with the help of the security forces and magical girls.

Only six hundred people remained, and then everyone was rescued.

If there hadn't been a massive tsunami.

Xiangzi floated in the sky, watching helplessly as the tsunami drew ever closer to her and to the String Roll.

She didn't know how many people on the ship would survive after the overwhelming curtain of water passed. Those lifeboats, fully loaded or even overloaded, didn't seem like they could withstand a water curtain several meters high.
