Walking alone on a road already stained by the twilight sunset, Yoshino was a little absent-minded, thinking about what had just happened.
Homura Akemi's emotions were too strong, so strong that it made her a little scared. Although she threatened Yoshino with death if she did anything selfish, would Yoshino really behave? The answer was: no. If she behaved, she wouldn't be that Yoshino.
Homura Akemi hasn't yet discovered the causality she created by reversing time. She reversed time to save Madoka Kaname, and according to the butterfly effect, the previous world should have disappeared. But the causality didn't disappear; instead, it remained and concentrated on Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname.
Through countless Time Reversions, Madoka Kaname's potential continuously increased, causing her to become stronger and stronger, gradually becoming a vicious cycle. Although it was to save Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi unknowingly pushed the person she wanted to save into an abyss. Although it was to be together, they grew further and further apart with each Time Reversion.
"Ya haha~ Homura Akemi's attitude just now was really scary. Did you hear that, Yoshino? If you do anything selfish again, she'll die in front of you. And she even used her own soul gem as a threat. Are you going to give up your plan? You know that plan is even more selfish than the previous one."
"Of course not. Although I feel a little sorry for Homura, my method is the only way to achieve a HAPPY END. Even if everyone hates me in the end, I will carry out this plan. The prerequisite for this plan, however, is that Madoka can survive…" Thinking of those two pure-colored Magical Girls, Yoshino's eyes became a little dangerous. This was the first time she felt disgust towards someone, the first time she wanted to kill someone.
"Yes, Kikura and Oriko Mikami are both dangerous individuals. The pure white and pure black Magical Girls, these two Magical Girls who shouldn't have appeared in this reincarnation, have actually appeared. They must be the variables that appeared in this final reincarnation." According to the memories Yoshino obtained, these two people had never appeared, which meant this was the difficulty of their current mission.
"Hmm, but last night, Kikura took a hit from my Ice Blossom Collapse Fist, so she probably won't be able to move freely for a while. Kikura is the shield, so Oriko Mikami is the brain. Even if she can use magic to heal her injuries, my magic will attach to her body, and when she tries to heal her injuries, my magic will repel this foreign magic. It will take at least a long time for her to recover." Yoshino didn't lose her sanity when she beat up Kikura last night. To buy more time, she made some adjustments to Kikura.
"Oh~ you actually tampered with Kikura. It seems you learned some bad tricks under Asta's guidance." Shaking her head helplessly, Yoshinon highly approved of this approach. The current Yoshino is very kind to her friends but harms her enemies. "It would be better to leave this kind of thing to Astaroth. For a girl like Kikura, whose mental state is somewhat pathological, pain cannot teach her any lesson. For her, Oriko Mikami is everything."
"Yes, even if my attack can target her soul, I can feel that even when I knocked her unconscious, she still had the thought of killing me. But even if Kikura is temporarily incapacitated, Oriko Mikami will still appear. What do you think she will say to me if she comes to see me?" Yoshino asked.
"Ya haha~ She'll definitely try to persuade you with her sense of justice. That's a no-brainer," Yoshinon shouted with a disdainful laugh. "'That girl named Madoka Kaname is destined to transform into a world-destroying witch, an unrivaled calamity. If you want to save this world, you just have to kill Madoka Kaname now, while she hasn't awakened.' I can even guess what she wants to say. I wonder if Oriko Mikami can still say such naive things after seeing Goddess Madoka."
"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to Oriko Mikami appearing before me, Yoshinon. Everyone is looking forward to seeing this 'naive' Magical Girl, especially 'evil' wants to see this Magical Girl who wants to be a savior. I originally wanted to find their hiding place, but they're surprisingly well-hidden. My perception can't find any trace." Biting her index finger, she found it strange that her perception couldn't find Oriko Mikami and her companions. "It seems someone is helping them hide their presence."
'That must be the world's consciousness doing it. To some extent, they are also one of the protagonists of this world, and their actions are very important for the subsequent development. If they were caught now, the story of this world would not develop well,' Yoshinon thought to herself. After they came to this world, their connection with gaia had been intermittent. the world's consciousness is not a simple character either.
"Never mind all that. Anyway, you've already done everything you can. Whether it's placing your clones around Madoka Kaname or telling Homura Akemi about Kikura, you've done your best, and Homura Akemi will cooperate with you to protect Madoka Kaname." Yoshinon advised. Yoshino, who couldn't rely on others, would become like those annoying adults if she thought too much.
"Also, have we inadvertently overlooked something? I feel the energy fluctuations in this city have appeared since just now. Senior Mami must be taking Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki to fight a witch. Should we go help? It doesn't matter if dinner is a little late, and we can prevent any accidents." Yoshinon asked.
"Hmm." Nodding lightly, Yoshino walked towards the source of the energy fluctuations. Compared to the Magical Girls' method of searching for witches by the brightness of their soul gems, Yoshino's perception was more efficient.
Perhaps because she discovered it earlier and the distance was shorter, when Yoshino just arrived at the entrance of the witch's space, she saw Mami Tomoe and the others who had just arrived there.
"Oh my~ I didn't expect Yoshino to come too. It seems this mission will be a little easier," Mami Tomoe turned around and saw Yoshino, revealing a gentle smile.
"What about the victim?" Although Yoshinon didn't have a clear consciousness, they still knew what Yoshinon was referring to.
"The victim of the Witch's Kiss… Don't worry, I've already removed the mark on him. And people whose marks are removed usually aren't attacked a second time." Mami Tomoe explained what they had just seen to Yoshinon, then remembered Madoka Kaname beside her and said to Yoshino: "Oh, right, this time I hope you can leave the target to me."
"???" Yoshino looked at Mami Tomoe in confusion. soul gems gradually become cloudy with use, and if they aren't cleansed by a grief seed, they will turn into new Magical Girls. Mami Tomoe's soul gem didn't have the power Yoshino gave it, so wouldn't it be better for Yoshino to do it?
"I want you to protect them. They are still ordinary people right now, and it will be a bit dangerous for them to enter a Witch's barrier. As a senior Magical Girl, I want them to see my magnificent performance." Squinting her eyes, Mami Tomoe's soul gem in her hand emitted a dazzling light. After completing her transformation, ornate flintlocks appeared in her hands.
"spirit dress of God's Authority, Number Four (EI)!" Closing her eyes, Yoshino leaned her small body slightly backward. A chill emanated from Yoshino, swirling freely around her. Enveloped by the chill, Yoshino's school uniform began to shed, revealing her small body, but the chill protected her more important areas. However, this sight still made Madoka Kaname and the other girl blush.
Then the chill turned into a water mist, enveloping Yoshino's body and forming a thin shroud. Finally, a unique outfit, a green hooded cloak with a fluffy spherical tail, appeared on Yoshino.
"Kyaa~ So cute!!" Just as Yoshino was about to say something, Sayaka Miki hugged Yoshino tightly. She constantly ruffled Yoshino's head, feeling Yoshino's soft body, and her affection for Yoshino grew deeper in her heart.
"Let go of Yoshino, you! Don't be so handsy with Yoshino!" A push gently separated Sayaka Miki, and Yoshinon's displeased voice came. "Yoshino isn't your doll or a body pillow, you better behave."
"Hmph! Compared to the cute Yoshino, you funny rabbit are really annoying. Do you believe I'll teach you a good lesson?" With hands on her hips, Sayaka Miki looked at Yoshinon angrily and threatened.
"Funny rabbit? Teach me a lesson? Hmph! Even if I'm just a rabbit, dealing with you is still very simple. Blue-haired girl." Yoshino expressed disdain for Sayaka Miki's malice. In her interactions with Nozomi Tojo, she was no longer provoked by such words.
"What Blue-haired girl! You're the Blue-haired girl! Your whole family is Blue-haired girl! I have the brilliant name Sayaka Miki!"
"Okay, Blue-haired girl, no problem, Blue-haired girl," Yoshinon said with a serious tone.
"Don't call me Blue-haired girl anymore! Ah!?" Sayaka Miki was already stomping her feet in anger.
Just then, Yoshino suddenly condensed an ice shard from her hand and shot it towards Sayaka Miki. Before she could even make a blocking motion, the ice shard grazed Sayaka Miki's body, hitting a Familiar approaching from behind her.
"While it's good that you're energetic, it's better to focus here, Sayaka Miki. But Yoshino and I will protect your safety well."
"Boom!" Centered around Yoshino, the surrounding ground slowly began to freeze, but Sayaka Miki and the others didn't feel any cold. However, the approaching Familiars gradually froze and then shattered into pieces, dissipating into the air.
"They're just small Familiars. We will ensure your safety, Blue-haired girl."
