red magic girl

Xunzi's current appearance is not very good-looking. She didn't sleep last night, and there are already dark circles under her eyes.

Now the nose is still broken, the nose is bleeding, the corners of the eyes are still full of tears, and the face can be said to be a mess.

But it was such a plain-faced Xunzi, such a messed-up Lumu Xunzi.

But Xiaoniaoyou couldn't look away for a long time.

Because, the current Kame Xunko gradually overlaps with the appearance of Goto Xunko 23 years ago.

"It was like this back then..."

Xunzi said to Xiaoniaoyou:

"When I was still in school, those female gangsters whom I had ridiculed before, when they troubled me in the toilet, it was Xiaoniaoyou who appeared and saved me."

"You were so powerful back then, ten people were knocked down by you in the blink of an eye."

"However, there was another person far away from me. She first pretended to turn around and run away, but then picked up the fire extinguisher from the door of the toilet and threw it at my face."

"At that time, it was Xiaoniaoyou, you took that blow for me."

"However, your vote was broken at that time!" Xunzi raised his head and complained to Xiaoniaoyou in a tone almost accusing: "But what happened to you at that time, your head was bleeding, but you comforted me that nothing happened. , asked if I was injured?!"

"You should care more about yourself! Stupid!"

"I feel it now, there is a very strong feeling..." Xunzi looked at Xiaoniaoyou's eyes, and said in horror: "Once I let go of my hand here, the appearance of Xiaoniaoyou will definitely make me feel uncomfortable." Feeling sorry!"

"So, it doesn't matter if it's considered vexatious or self-willed!" Xunzi locked the little bird's calf tightly with his arms, thinking: "I don't care who you are fighting for, I don't want to see you anymore injured!"

With his head lowered and crying helplessly, Xunzi suddenly felt a warm touch on the top of his head.

The tenderness in Xiaoniaoyou's eyes is something that Xiaoniaoyou didn't have 23 years ago.

"Sorry, Xunzijiang..." Xiaoniaoyou stretched out his hand to wipe off the nosebleed on Xunzi's face with a paper, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other hand, and said to Xunzi, "I can't, let you be fulfilled." wish."

"Because, this is a battle that I have to fight."

"I am a magical girl." Xiaoniaoyou smiled softly, and said to Xunzi: "Fighting is my destiny."

"So, I must go."

Taking advantage of the moment when Xunzi was stunned, Xiaoniaoyou pulled his calf out of Xunzi's arms, turned and left.

"……round!"

Xunzi, whose body was being supported by Zhijiu and Madoka, stretched out his hand, but then hung down powerlessly.

Xunzi, who was slowly lifted up from the ground by the two, realized that she was no longer the little girl she was back then when she said the name.

And now, in this family, there are two women named Yuan.

As a mother, Kame Madoka, she knew very well that what she should protect at this moment was the life of her daughter, Kame Madoka.

As an individual Kamu Xunzi, she is very clear that what she should respect at this moment is the belief of Xiaoniao Yuyuan as a friend.

But only that Goto Xunzi knows what Xunzi really thinks.

She wants to protect Kotori, the magical girl who even gave up on herself to protect others.

However, neither Xiaoniaoyou nor Xunzi can go back to 23 years ago.

"Xiaoniaoyou!" Xiaoniaoyou, who had already reached the entrance, stopped at this moment, and she heard Xunzi shout the last sentence to her:

"Don't lose!!!"

Xiao Niaoyou lowered his head slightly, raised his arms, and gave a thumbs up to everyone behind him.

Then, with a contented smile on his face, Xiao Niaoyou opened the door and strode outside.

Chapter 15: We're just getting started

After watching the bird swim away, Xunzi sat on the sofa in a daze, staring blankly at the evacuation notice broadcast on the TV in front of him, not recovering for a long time.

"Xunzi." Zhijiu, who was carrying big and small bags, looked at Xunzi who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "It's already packed. Passbook, land deed, and valuables that can be brought are all brought."

"Let's go."

Hearing this, Xunzi took a last look at his own house, recalling how it was when he just moved in.

In the end, Kamu Xunzi nodded, and said in a daze, "Yes. Let's go."

As soon as Xunzi finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The doorbell, which was supposed to be a commonplace sign of a visitor, made Xunzi and Zhijiu's bodies freeze at this moment.

Madoka, who was always in charge of opening the door at home, subconsciously took a step, but was quickly grabbed by Zhijiu's arm and had to stop.

Xunzi and Zhijiu exchanged glances, then Zhijiu held Tatsuya with one hand and Madoka with the other, and slowly backed away.

As for Xunzi, he went forward to open the door.

"Click."

The sound that symbolized the opening of the door lock sounded, and Xunzi pushed the door tremblingly with his hands, pushing out a crack.

Then, a scene appeared in front of her that made her pale with fright.

The person who stood at the door and rang their doorbell was the girl she had seen on the phone before.

"Are you, the girl in the photo?!" Then Xunzi slapped his thigh and shouted unwillingly, "We were fooled!"

"Porka, you've probably arrived at Madoka's house, right?" Xiao Meiyan looked towards Madoka's house, and said to herself, "Here we are, by the side of someone who will truly love her."

Akatsuki Homura, who was in the transformation state, was standing on the roof of Mitakihara Municipal Middle School at this moment, looking at the billowing smoke column rising in the distance.

Looking at the noisy crowd in the distance, I can faintly hear the evacuation announcement, standing in the empty campus

In Xiao Meiyan's heart, in this short moment, there was a sense of regret.

She asked herself in her heart:

【Is it really necessary to do this? 】

【Is it really necessary to destroy this city? 】

[Is it really necessary to do this kind of thing in this place full of memories? 】

However, soon, Xiao Meiyan stopped this worry.

【Is necessary. 】Xiao Meiyan lowered her head, looked at the Desert Eagle pistol in her hand, and thought so firmly in her heart: 【It is very necessary. 】

[No matter what disgraceful means are used, terrorist attacks that deceive and demonstrate self-existence. 】

【I must win Bird Tour. 】

Xiao Meiyan exhaled - she felt the familiar traces of magic power.

Xiao Meiyan followed her feeling, tilted her head back and formed a 45-degree angle with her back, turned her face to the side, looked at Xiaoniaoyu standing behind her with meaningful eyes, and said:

"You finally came."

"Yes." Xiao Niaoyou stood in front of Xiao Meiyan and said to Xiao Meiyan: "Besides, I didn't come alone."

As soon as Xiaoniaoyou finished speaking, a helicopter flew out from behind the building next to the school.

Under the roaring helicopter propellers, there are journalists who are urgently broadcasting the situation on the scene, and a videographer who uses a camera to broadcast the situation live to the 30 people in Mitakihara.

【I see. 】Xiao Meiyan looked at such a scene, and immediately understood the intention of Xiaotiaoyou's actions, 【Using this method, to tell Madoka and the others about your situation? 】

[Master, as always, you are careful and thoughtful. 】

"!!!"

Xunzi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help covering his mouth when he saw the picture of Xiao Niaoyou and Xiao Meiyan confronting each other on the phone.

Just now, Saotome Kazuko sent a message, telling her to watch the live broadcast of Mitakihara's web news on YouTube.

Now, Mitakihara News TV is broadcasting a duel live.

"...Everyone can see it! Our cameras have indeed captured the two girls standing on the roof of Mitakihara Municipal Middle School!"

"According to the news received by our station, one of them - the short-haired girl, called herself Xiaotiaoyou, and informed my station that it was the long-haired girl standing opposite her, Xiao Meiyan , created a series of bombings from yesterday to today!"

"Now, these two people are confronting each other!"

"The city government is organizing the police to stop it, but all the roads that can lead to this place have been blocked by a high wall of cars and cannot be approached!"

"Miss Xiaoniaoyou..." Zhijiu, who was in charge of driving, couldn't help becoming nervous when he heard such a news report, "I hope she's safe..."

"It's okay, it's Xiaotiaoyu sister's words..." Sitting in the back seat of the car, with Polka sitting next to her, Madoka holding Tatsuya in her arms, said to her mother: "QB said, Xiaotiaoyou sister , she is the strongest magical girl!"

"So, she will definitely not lose!"

Xunzi could only nod his head reluctantly, and then continued to concentrate on looking at the screen on the phone.

Xunzi also knew that Xiaoniaoyou had no reason to lose.

Although Xunzi has never seen Xiaoniaoyou in battle, she can indeed feel the powerful fighting power of Xiaoniaoyou from various daily interactions.

Walking, sitting and lying are all "wu".

【There is no reason for Xiaoniaoyou to lose, I know...】

【but……】

Xunzi recalled Xiaoniaoyou's expression when he was about to walk out the door.

That expression, she had seen a similar expression before, and only once.

At that time, Xiaoniaoyou ran away from home in a daze, and after being brought home by Xunzi, he said he wanted to go home again.

After that, Xunzi never saw Xiaoniaoyou again.

She just heard from the adults in the family that three bodies were found in Xiaoniaoyou's home.

After that, Xunzi realized that the expression Xiaoniaoyou said goodbye to her at that time was the expression of going to seek death after firm belief.

[Countless times, countless times, I have regretted it countless times. 】Xunzi's white knuckles gripping the phone revealed her uneasiness,【She should be stopped. 】

But this time, Xunzi still didn't stop her.

This was not just because of the situation, but also because Xunzi read a different taste from that expression, which was different from 23 years ago.

Xunzi felt that Xiaoniaoyou was not going back to seek death this time, but that she had some way to deal with Xiaomeiyan.

[The method, what exactly is it? 】

Not only Xunzi didn't know what the method was, but even Xiao Meiyan didn't know.

"You look like this, standing in front of me swaggeringly." Xiao Meiyan asked Xiaoniaoyou who appeared in front of me majestically instead of sniping, shelling, long-range blasting, or suicide drone attack: "Are you Do you plan to raise your hands and surrender?"

"I have no such plan." Xiao Niaoyou, who only held a Glock 17 pistol in his hand, said to Xiao Meiyan with a smile: "I just want to chat with you."

"to chat with?"

"Yeah, I want to know, what is your real purpose?"

"What do you want to do to Madoka?

"If you want to kill Madoka, you have plenty of opportunities, you don't have to wait until now."

"If you want to protect Madoka, you also have a lot of opportunities. You can negotiate with me to form a team now."

"But you didn't do anything." Xiao Niaoyou said to Xiao Meiyan: "You just watched from the sidelines, passively coping with everything that happened, as if waiting for a certain opportunity."

"Now, you even kidnapped a blind girl and lured me into the bait, just to call me out alone."

"Being so active means that your time has come, but this time seems to have little to do with Xiaoyuan."

"Instead, it is closely related to me."

"Xiaomeiyan."

"Could it be that from the beginning, I was your target?"

Xiao Meiyan didn't speak, she just raised her arm silently, then pointed her thumb towards the sky, stretched out her index finger, aimed at Xiaotiaoyu, comparing her hand to a pistol.

"Yes."
