Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 127

Having lost its foothold, Hailing fell to the ground, the height of the eight-story building vanishing in an instant.

Bang!

With her wooden clogs on the concrete floor of the skyscraper rooftop, Hai Ling rolled over to dissipate the excess force and twisted her neck.

The sky cleared up, and the skyscrapers returned to their original state.

"It's over," she sighed.

"Hey, little girl over there! This is a private area, you can't linger here!"

The skyscraper security guard stood a dozen meters away from Hailing and shouted at her.

People have all turned back to normal.

"what......"

Hailing scratched her head in a puzzled manner.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

If your mind is completely empty.

You will question yourself.

【I am thinking about I another,?{I (seven) teacher? dance leek j?,iuV『 II I what? 】

Mu stood in the gloomy living room, with traces of blood still on the floor in front of him, and the surrounding furniture covered with a dust cloth.

Xiangzi's home.

No one has come here for a long time.

When Mu came to her senses, she was already there.

She walked to a splatter of blood, squatted down, and gently touched it with her finger.

"Auspicious..."

Mu turned around and sat down against the wall.

A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, like a spotlight, onto Mu.

With her head resting against the wall, Mu gently raised the corners of her mouth.

“Erling Eryi (San) Linba Er is fine like this.”

she said softly.

"It's enough to be able to stay by Xiang's side."

[A way to escape the deep sea has been found.]

That is, learning to swim.

Once I learn how to fly, I'll be safe.

Isn't that obvious...?

With his head facing the ground and his feet facing the sky, Xiangzi began to spin uncontrollably in the air.

This spinning around and around, in the context of skydiving, is something like a death loop.

"I'm going to die!"

As she held him in her hand, he shouted loudly, his mouth being blown into waves by the wind.

At this rate, they really will end up smashing into a pile of mush on the ground!

"Shh-"

Xiangzi steadied herself, making her fall steady. She hung upside down in the sky and spoke to Cupid.

"Someone will pick us up."

As if in response to Xiangzi's call, a pair of wings covered Xiangzi at this moment, and together they descended.

"Xiao Xiang, if you do this again, I'll..." Chu Hua hugged Xiangzi, pouting, "I'll..."

"So what?"

Xiangzi wrapped his arms around Chuhua's neck and tucked Qiubi into his own bosom.

"I just..."

Chu Hua blushed, spread her folded wings, and her descent turned into gliding.

"I'm ignoring you!"

Xiangzi didn't reply, but just hugged her a little tighter.

The baby in her arms was squeezed so tightly it could hardly breathe, and let out a long, mournful cry.

Chu Hua, holding Xiangzi in her arms, flew through the sky above the reed plains, overlooking the city.

Everyone went about their business as if nothing had happened, going to school, work, selling their wares, and having fun, as if the scarlet sky had never existed.

"I search for the root of everything in the chaos."

—What am I thinking about?

They landed on an empty basketball court.

It should have been deserted, but in the shade of the trees, a man was lying on a bench enjoying the cool air, with a Bluetooth speaker playing music next to him.

He happened to see two girls fall from the sky, and was so shocked that he knocked his Bluetooth speaker to the ground.

—What am I thinking about?

Xiangzi landed on his feet, walked towards the man who was about to scream, picked up the speaker he had dropped, and put it back in its place.

Shh... clear your mind.

Xiangzi smiled and raised his index finger to his lips.

Nothing happened today.

The Tale of Nirvana: Keeping Your True Self: Epilogue of Chapter 150

"cheers!"

Five cups clinked together, and a little liquid spilled out of the cups as they collided, passing through the wire mesh and dripping onto the glowing red charcoal fire, making a "sizzling" sound.

As the only adult, Miaomeng grabbed the handle of the beer mug and gulped down the beer. With her other hand, she grabbed a chicken wing skewer from the grill and, like a middle-aged man, exclaimed, "Ah! So good!" before taking big bites of the chicken skewer.

"This is the first time I've seen you so wild," Xiangzi said.

“Oh, Jintian, I’m exhausted today,” Miaomeng said indistinctly. “Just let me be wild this once.”

Xiangzi picked up a piece of pork belly, wrapped it in lettuce leaves, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in her mouth. She chewed it in small bites, without even getting any sauce on her lips. Her elegant movements were like those of an old-fashioned noble lady and a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, compared to Miaomeng.

"Oh, I haven't asked you yet, what is this thing?"

Miaomeng swallowed what was in her mouth and picked up the white thing lying between her and Hailing.

"Why are you still carrying this tattered rag doll?"

"what?!"

The mentally ill Cupid was awakened from his sleep and found himself being held by the back of his neck, flapping his short limbs in the air.

"Put me down, you stupid cat!"

"Who do you think you are? I can't just let you go like that. Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Meow Dream picked up Kyubey and poked its head. "Speaking of which, aren't you different from the other rag dolls?"

“It sounds more emotional,” Hailing said.

"That seems to be the case."

"Yes, that's right. I'm different from those emotionless mortals. I received divine revelation and ate the apple—"

"That guy was considered mentally ill within his own group, and now he's been kicked out of their 'business group' and is unemployed," Xiangzi explained.

"—Adam." Cupid's ears drooped. "Give me some face, will you? I have my pride too."

"Pfft." Meow Dream covered her mouth. "This thing is actually much more interesting than the others."

"What do you plan to do with it?" Hailing asked casually.

"Let's keep it for now. It doesn't need to eat or drink anyway. Although it's separated from the Kyubey's group, it still has the memories it had before. It's a pretty good encyclopedia." Xiangzi stretched out his finger and poked Kyubey's head. "With it around, it won't be bothered by the other Kyubeys."

“It has to be me,” Kyubey proudly raised his head.

"Also, it's one of a kind. Once it dies, it's gone. Don't kill it."

"Okay." Miaomeng placed it behind her back as a lumbar support.

"Ughh ...

Thus, the discussion about Cupid came to an end.

"However, the matter is resolved." Hailing, who was in charge of the barbecue, put a few fresh slices of meat on the iron rack and said, "Xiangzi, there are still many things you haven't explained to us."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Chu Hua sat to Xiangzi's left and nodded vigorously.

Mu silently took a sip of juice.

“Uh…” Xiangzi scratched his cheek. “How should I explain this?”

She thought for a moment, then sighed and took out her Soul Gem, placing it on the table.

“Some things are too complicated to explain, unnecessary, and I don’t want to talk about them, but the rest are also quite important, and I will no longer hide them.”

The eyes of several people immediately focused on the cracked soul gem.

“It’s cracked,” Hailing said. “This is bad.”

"Ah, you looked like this when we first met." Miao Meng licked the foam on her lips.

“Xiao Xiang…isn’t this…” Chu Hua looked at Xiangzi with concern.

“Hmm, the consumption rate is three times faster, and…” Xiangzi rested his chin on his hand, “what’s inside now is the Seed of Nirvana’s Lamentation.”

"Nirvana?! It's not dead?" Meow Dream's eyes widened.

“She’s dead, but strictly speaking, not completely dead,” Xiangzi explained. “This Seed of Sorrow is what I got in return for the wish I made when I wished to become a magical girl again.”

"My wish at the time was that the Soul Gem could be put back together after it shattered."

"After that, as planned, we killed five familiars at the same time. Nirvana should have died by then, leaving only the Seed of Lamentation. At that time, my Soul Gem was also shattered, which means I was dead too."

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua apologetically.

"I waited until now to say this because I was afraid that your worries would cause problems with the plan. I'm sorry."

"..." Chu Hua pouted angrily and turned her head to one side.

Although Xiangzi used "you all," she was the only one among the four who would have problems because of this.

“But I won’t change it in the future,” Xiangzi said. “When I encounter problems, I trust my own judgment more.”

"Then I'll eavesdrop on you every day and go through your chat history until you've stopped hiding anything from me."

"If something's wrong, I'll definitely keep it to myself... How could I possibly let you know..."

"Oh my, they're arguing." Miao Meng looked on with an expression of watching a show. "It's okay, this is a public place, you can argue all you want."

Miao Meng reminded them that they were in a barbecue restaurant, and the two people sitting next to each other realized what was happening and their faces flushed red.

"..."

"..."

sizzle-

The fat from the roasting meat dripped into the charcoal fire below, instantly creating a towering column of flames in front of them.

Hailing quickly moved the fatty pork belly aside.

Xiangzi blushed and cleared his throat.

"We've gone off-topic. Let's get back to what we were talking about."

Although the topic shift was abrupt, it was very effective.

"Those here should have witnessed the process of a magical girl transforming into a witch. First, the gem fills the space, then it shatters, and the Seed of Grief is born from it. The gem, reconstructed at my request, reversed this process. In short, the reconstructed Soul Gem envelops the Seed of Grief in its rebirth."
