Yae Sakura!Beep!

However, before that, she had to go to...

Say individual.

…………

Feeling the warm breath, Madoka was stunned.

She gently raised her hand, trying to wipe away her tears, but found that no matter how she wiped it, it was still so uncomfortable.

Everything I saw seemed to be in a dream, without any sense of reality.

But how wonderful it would be if all this was true.

"I have kept my promise well."

Face to face, Hitomi finally touched Madoka again.

"Sister Xiaoyuan..."

She reached out and caressed his cheek.

"Your eyes are beautiful, and the tears flowing in them must be beautiful too."

The tears that I couldn't wipe away no matter what, on the fingertips of the other party, they stopped all of a sudden.

"However, if such beautiful tears flow out, the eyes will not be beautiful."

Hitomi lightly rubbed the corner of her eye with his thumb.

"So, can you promise me?"

"Stop crying."

The smile on her lips never faded, and her gentle voice, like a breeze, relaxed Madoka's tense mind.

"Little pupil... I thought you..."

With her lips trembling, Madoka still felt her eyes were sore and astringent, which was very uncomfortable.

"Well, it's alright."

She pulled Madoka, and the two sat down slowly leaning against each other in this spiritual world.

"Sorry, I……"

Just when she opened her mouth, her delicate fingertips were on her lips.

"Well, don't say I'm sorry, it's not your fault, Sister Xiaoyuan."

Hitomi shook her head.

"It's better to say that you did a good job...you hit the right spot by mistake."

Then she smiled again.

"If it wasn't for you, Sister Xiaoyuan, who made your wish, I would have thought that Witch Night was the Advent Body... If you really never made a wish, Sister Xiaoyuan, then I would never be able to find a way to save everyone."

This is not consolation, Hitomi really thinks so, and now everything seems to be a coincidence.

But also, towards an inevitable ending.

She suddenly gave a "puchi" smile.

"Little pupil?"

Madoka called out suspiciously.

"No, nothing, I'm just, happy."

She said, raised her head, and looked up.

Naturally, nothing exists, a piece of pale pink, as if there is an endless distance.

Just like Madoka's infinitely tolerant heart.

"Happy?"

"Well, soon, everyone can return to a normal, ordinary and happy life like in the past."

"Sister Sayaka, Sister Asami, Sister Homura, Sister Kyoko... Everyone can become good friends and live as ordinary people."

She turned her head sideways again, looking at Xiaoyuan.

"Just like your wish, right?"

Madoka opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to answer.

"Ok!"

But then, she nodded heavily, followed by a chuckle.

"At that time, everyone will go back to school together, have lunch on the rooftop during lunch break, go to the coffee shop to relax after school, or listen to CDs, and come out to play on weekends and holidays..."

She paused.

"There are still many, many... I still have a lot of things I want to do with everyone."

Tightly holding Tong's little hand, every sentence, every word that comes out of that mouth is full of expectations and hopes.

"Then Xiaotong, you can also come to my house to play. Those CDs are still in my room. I've been waiting for you to come and take them back..."

The more she spoke, the happier and more relaxed her expression became.

"And that gorgeous kimono of yours is also well preserved...By the way, the crystal ball you bought that day, Hitomi, is also at my house. Remember to come and take it back another day..."

Both hands grasped Tong's little hand, looking forward to each sentence, as if they would never finish.

But Tong's movements froze.

She held Xiaoyuan's palm with her backhand, such a small movement made Xiaoyuan's words stop abruptly.

"...Xiao Tong?"

Gently, in a small voice, Madoka called again in doubt.

"Sister Xiaoyuan."

Pursed her cherry lips.

Hitomi's gaze suddenly gave Madoka a bad feeling.

"Are you okay? Are you okay...?"

She asked cautiously in a low voice.

"Sister Xiaoyuan..."

But Tong just yelled again, as if she had something hard to say, which made her hesitate to speak.

"Everyone will go back to their old lives...Xiaotong, are you the same?"

Madoka was not stupid, she suddenly seemed to think of something, bit her lip and asked.

"You promised me that everyone will be fine... What about you, Tong?"

She looked into Hitomi's eyes nervously.

"You'll be fine too..."

Looking sideways, Hitomi evaded a little guiltyly, but then she looked at Madoka seriously.

"elder sister……"

This time, she used a title she hadn't called Madoka for a long time.

"Every parting in this world is for meeting again next time."

Letting go of Xiaoyuan's small hand, she stroked Xiaoyuan's face and spoke softly.

"So, every time we see each other, we have to say goodbye."

"Then...then this time...it's the same this time too! Does Xiaotong have any important things to do?"

Xiaoyuan said anxiously, she felt very flustered for no reason.

"...We will all be waiting for you!"

Hitomi shook her head.

"But this time it's different."

With five fingers, she slowly combed Madoka's slightly messy pink hair.

"After all, there are so many separations in the world, there are always a few times, it will look a little different."

She pursed her lips, showing a beautiful smile.

"So this time, we're not saying goodbye."

Seeing Madoka holding her arm tightly with a panicked expression.

"This time, we should say goodbye forever."

"No!...Wait, Hitomi?!"

The time is almost up.

She slowly left Madoka's inner world.

With that grinning smile.

He glanced nostalgicly at the little figure that was shouting in the spiritual world.

Waiting for a miracle is a very ridiculous thing.

It is a miracle that a miracle can occur.

She has always thought so.

But she suddenly found out.

It turned out that that night, in that alley, I met Madoka...

It was the only miracle she got after she came to this world.

…………

Back then, I couldn't save our story because I was powerless.

We can't get rid of our destiny, and can't change our ending.

It doesn't matter once, or twice, even if it is repeated thousands of times.

After all, we can't change anything.

Nothing can be saved.

And now, it won't be like it used to be.

Now I am already very strong.

There is already enough power.

So, even if only once.

I will save you.

Save this, only your story.

…………

Be a normal person.

Become a life that can taste life, old age, sickness and death, and is so fragile that it will disappear with just a small blow.

With such a life, to live normally for decades or hundreds of years, find the love of life, get married and have children, and grow old without regrets.

This is her dream, it is Hitomi, it is Sakura, even, it is Rin's dream.

It is their dream that will never, ever, never come true.

They are also my eternal regret.

At the beginning, no one rescued them, so their dreams were shattered.

And now, she's the one who can save others.

She can give them the dreams she has always dreamed of.
