"Sorry, I still prefer to work alone than to stay together."
After just thinking about it for a while, Sakura Kyoko had the answer.
Holding the spear, he attacked Tomoe Mami again.
"You are so stubborn!"
Tomoe Asami dodged the stabbing spear head, turned around and pulled out a flintlock gun from under her skirt in mid-air, fired a ribbon bullet at Sakura Kyoko who was about to pursue her, and intercepted her. The opponent’s approach.
"I can't help it. When I was hugging others for warmth, I was abandoned by my so-called companions. They tried to trip me up, but they left me behind to hold back a powerful witch. If it hadn't been for my fate at that time, , I’m afraid he died a long time ago. Since then, my impression of the word companion has been very bad..."
Sakura Kyoko said nonchalantly.
"This is the first time I have heard of it, but you should know that I, Tomoe Asami, am not the same as those guys."
"No, you are just stronger, but in fact, I don't think there is any difference between you and others!"
One is moving forward and the other is retreating.
One is constantly attacking, and the other is trying his best to defend.
They moved very quickly, but this silent park suffered as a result.
Soon, cracks were scratched on the bluestone floor.
The iron support holding the swing was chopped down, and the green trees planted along the road were marked with bullet holes.
"How can I make you believe me and stop?"
Tomoe Asami asked.
"Unless you can hand over your soul gem to me, only when your life and death are in my hands can I reluctantly trust you!"
After a fierce battle, the surrounding environment felt as if it had been swept by a tornado.
Faced with Tomoe Mami's persuasion, Sakura Kyoko directly stated a condition that was impossible to agree to.
Her idea is very simple. Tomoe Mami alone is enough for her to deal with one on one.
If another powerful magical girl were to stand on Tomoe Mami's side, then even if she was strong enough to be evenly matched with Tomoe Mami, a veteran magic girl, she would probably be in a bad situation where she would be unable to defeat four hands with two fists.
Rather than being driven away later, it is better to strike first - the turf battle between magical girls is as cruel as the wild cats in the city fighting for living space and territory.
It is not the character of Sakura Kyoko, a wandering magical girl, to run away without touching her. To attack Tomoe Mami tonight was exactly what she did after learning from Kyubey that she was alone. Decide.
Sakura Kyoko wants to seize this opportunity and plans to snipe Tomoe Asami, the leader of the Magical Girl Group, who has exposed her ambition to acquire more territory in Mitakihara City.
Although it is not necessarily necessary to decide whether to live or die, it is inevitable that someone will experience failure tonight and leave in despair.
Therefore, Sakura Kyoko had no intention of holding back at all. Just after taking a breath, she wanted to continue to launch a violent attack and finish off the opponent with persistent efforts.
"You can only stop by handing over the soul gem, right? But I think there is another possibility for you to stop, such as the situation where I capture you alive!"
Looking at Sakura Kyoko rushing over again, Tomoe Asami said this.
"If you can do it, just give it a try."
The spear was straight and thrust forward quickly.
"You are still the same as you were before, and you don't get excited."
Tomoe Asami smiled as if her plan had succeeded.
The next moment, her body was penetrated by Sakura Kyoko's spear.
However, there was no blood splattered.
I saw that Tomoe Mami's body turned into dense ribbons.
In the next moment, Sakura Kyoko was directly tied up as she attacked.
"when……"
Sakura Kyoko's eyes widened, her body had been tied up tightly and hung in the air.
"At that moment when I walked around the trees."
Asami Tomoe walked out from behind the big tree beside the road.
"And the conversation I had with you just now after I stopped was just to distract you, allowing you to focus on the soul gem in my head and ignore the magic link line at the foot of my ribbon clone - hidden Yellow ribbon in the ground!”
Tomoe Asami was holding the joint of a yellow ribbon in her hand, and that joint was the source of the yellow ribbon that bound Sakura Anko.
"Well, duh!"
Sakura Kyoko moved, but she made a muffled sound.
"I advise you not to struggle, otherwise my ribbon will make you suffer."
When Sakura Kyoko's soul gem was in the magical girl form, it was set on the clothes link on her chest like a pendant. Now, it was pulled out directly by the yellow ribbon that was stretched over, and the soul gem was rolled up and handed back to her home. The manipulator - Tomoe Mami's hands.
"The victory has been decided, the battle is over, you are defeated."
"Tsk, kill or behead, please do as you wish!"
Sakura Kyoko is very tough, and her life like a stray cat makes her like a real bad girl. She has long had the awareness to face the consequences of failure.
"I won't kill you, I'll take you back."
Tomoe Asami said.
"Hey, do you want to control me by mastering my soul gem?
Or do you want to turn me into a witch and finally harvest the seeds of my lament? "
Sakura Kyoko speculated maliciously.
For her, she allowed some familiars who had not yet evolved into witches to harvest the lives of ordinary humans. Finally, when the familiars evolved into witches and were a little weak, she took advantage and harvested those guys to obtain the Seed of Lament. This kind of turning a blind eye , things that maximize benefits are nothing short of normal.
She lives more like a creature called a [magical girl] instead of seeing herself as a [so-called hero of justice].
"Verbal preaching is of no use. It's better to wait until you see the truth before making a judgment."
Asami Tomoe said, she put Sakura Kyoko's soul gem away.
"Next, it's your turn."
Tomoe Mami looked at the Kyubey in the distance.
The kewpie didn't move.
But the next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow at Tomoe Mami's feet.
"Hisssssss~"
There was a grinding sound that made one's teeth feel sour, but it was two long sniper bullets that were caught by two raised black-armored hands.
"You are Mr. Wu Ke's evil clone. This is..."
Tomoe Mami recognized the evil thought armor clone that suddenly appeared, and her eyes turned to the bullet caught in the opponent's hand.
The sniper bullet quickly turned into magic power and dissipated invisible in the air. Tomoe Asami touched the soul gem on her head, and then touched the soul gem belonging to Sakura Kyoko that she had just put in her pocket, but she still had lingering fears. Thank you.
Turning around, Asami Tomoe asked Sakura Kyoko, who was a little stunned: "Is there anyone else who came with you?"
"I have no idea."
Suddenly thinking of something, Sakura Kyoko looked at Kyubey over there and asked loudly.
"Chubby, you idiot, have you found other guys?!"
Kyubey didn't answer, just stared at the Evil Thought Armor clone.
[Is this negative aura the familiar of a certain witch? But why does it appear in Tomoe Mami's shadow, and why does it protect Tomoe Mami?
Could it be that the seed of lamentation in this world has undergone a new evolution, and finally an individual witch with clear consciousness has been born...]
Many complicated thoughts flooded into the Kyubey's mind at this moment.
While Kyubey was thinking, he quickly uploaded this important information to the incubator clan's spiritual network.
It did not choose to escape, but allowed the black armor of evil thoughts that appeared in front of it to lift itself up.
"What the hell are you?"
Kyubey asked.
"..."
The Evil Thought Armor, which only had basic intelligence, was naturally unable to answer such a question. However, it melted a part of its own body along with the seven Kyubis that Tomoe Mami had previously captured, and completely imprisoned the Kyubis and them on its hands. In a black box, isolated from the outside world.
The body split, and the Evil Thought Armor was divided into two small heads. One reintegrated into Tomoe Mami's shadow, and the other headed in the direction of the attack. It crushed the ground with a bang and followed it like a flying shot. There was no trace of Tomoe Mami in the whole process. Have a conversation.
"What the hell is that?"
Sakura Kyoko, who was tied up with a yellow ribbon, asked Kyubey's question just now.
"Chubby wants to explore what is known."
Tomoe Asami just said this.
[It turns out that Mr. Wu Ke sent his own force to protect me. Well, maybe not just me, but also Madoka and Xiaomi Homura. 】
Tomoe Asami felt a strong sense of security in her heart at this moment. If the bullet that had been shot at her had not been stopped, she might have encountered something unexpected.
[Sure enough, Mr. Wu Ke is reliable! 】
"Hey, can you stop slapping me?"
"We'll find out when we take you back."
Tomoe Asami said this and left the park mentioning Sakura Kyoko.
the other side……
"What the hell is that?"
In the dark alley, a girl with long black hair leaned against the wall.
She asked Kyubey, who was standing on the trash can opposite.
"I have no idea."
Kyubey replied.
"You actually said you didn't know that errors in intelligence information would put my life in danger. The task I accepted tonight was just to clean up the abnormal magical girls according to the situation, but the thing that blocked my silent bullets should not be Magical girls, is there something wrong with your clan’s technology?!”
"After tonight's test, we suspect that a witch with self-awareness may have been born in this world."
After a pause, Kyubey continued to speak to the girl in front of him with long black hair and a temperament that was infinitely cooler than Xiao Meiyan.
"Julie, your attack is not without value. According to the agreement, we will still provide you with the Lament Seed to ensure that your soul gem remains in a pure state at all times."
The red circle on the back opened a hole in another dimension, and a Seed of Lament rolled out. Kyubey rolled it up with his tail and threw it to the straight black girl opposite.
. . . .
The girl in front of her is named Julie. She is a product that has been sold from a war-torn country to this peaceful country for fifteen years. She was originally a girl who would become a rich man, or even a common plaything of some wealthy people. However, because of her qualifications as a magical girl, she was taken away. Than contact, make a wish to escape from the original tragic fate.
And this girl who is deeply aware of the cruelty of this world is different from many girls who become magical girls in a peaceful environment. What she is better at is not fighting with witches, but by dealing with other magical girls and robbing them of their harvest. seeds to survive.
At the same time, this girl also knew the truth about the existence of the witch earlier than Asami.
Of course, those who knew the truth about witches earlier were magical girls from an earlier era.
However, those who finally know the truth, and the truth they know, will be submerged in history.
Either they died in a battle with a powerful witch, or they were killed by a magical girl who had formed a cooperative relationship with the family of their incubators...
Well, manipulating a witch who doesn’t have much rationality is something that is difficult to do in detail. However, after knowing the truth about the witch, the manipulator did not collapse and become a witch, nor did he intend to do anything for other magical girls. He only did it for himself. The magical girl who fights has become another choice for their incubator clan.
. . . .
Julie took out a gray soul gem, used the Seed of Lament to absorb the black energy on it, and then threw the used Seed of Lament back.
Magical girls like her, called [Controllers], will help Kyubey to give some motivation to girls who have magical girl qualifications but have no motivation to make wishes.
Just like creating some accidents, creating some situations where girls have to make wishes, things like that.
"It's just that I don't understand why you fired two bullets and attacked Sakura Kyoko's soul gem together?"
Kyubey asked.
"Don't you have a crush on that girl named Sakura Kyoko?
Selfish, fighting only for himself, even if he knew the truth about the witch, he would immediately think about how to live better...
That type of guy is most suitable to be your clan's lackey. "
After a pause, the girl with long, straight black hair continued.
"Unfortunately, the food in the dog bowl is limited. I don't have enough food for myself, but I don't want anyone to compete with me for food. Are you Kyubey satisfied with my answer?"
"You misunderstand, we have no intention of abandoning you..."
Kyubey said.
[This guy has existed as a magical girl for too long. Long-term exposure to the dark side has put her mind on the verge of blackening. The consumption of Lament Seed required for daily purification is no longer worth what she can produce. value……】
"Really, that's the best."
Julie's attitude was very cold, and she obviously didn't believe this.
As long as there is no problem with the soul gem, a magical girl will neither grow old nor die.
But there are very few magical girls who live long lives in this world.
Among them, some of the people she knew who were older than her have disappeared...
Unlike some magical girls who believe in truth, goodness and beauty and appear in a peaceful environment, Julie, who is almost black but not a witch, is more willing to believe in the Kyubey family and consciously keep magical girls young.
Of course, the regulators who cooperate with them and hide in the dark as lackeys and masterminds are also very likely to be abandoned by this race that only has interests because they have existed for too long and the frequency of using the Seed of Lament is increasing.
"The spy mission still depends on you!"
Kyubey said.
[Let her use her last remaining energy...]
"knew."
Julie replied.
[I have to get rid of the subsequent competitors so Kyubey always has to rely on me! 】
Think so.
"boom!"
The short black-armored clone of Evil Thought followed him.
