Uplifting Journey

Kamu Madoka, a genuine second-year middle school girl—a fourteen-year-old girl in the second grade of junior high school full of fantasy.

Open the window to lift the mother who was woken up from the bed, discuss gossip about classmates and teachers with her while washing and dressing up, take the young brother and mother to eat the breakfast prepared by the father, and then prepare to go out to meet with good friends, together go to school.

Her life is so ordinary and happy, just like all other ordinary people.

If there is anything strange about this ordinary life, it is probably because I met a strange transfer student who seemed to be seen in a dream at school, and was warned about the inexplicable contract by him.

Recalling the Heichang direct transfer student named Xiao Meiyan, thinking of her amazing appearance and outstanding talents in all aspects, Madoka bid farewell to her mother who went to work, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for her ordinaryness and fragility. Feeling a little lost--

For some reason, she always felt very familiar with that dark, tall and straight girl, and couldn't help but compare herself to her.

The girl with pink double ponytails, with various thoughts in her heart, said goodbye to her father who stayed at home with her bag, and left the house to walk quickly towards the school.

However, in the opposite direction from Madoka's leaving home, the straight black girl whom she was thinking about was standing there quietly, confronting the woman with a cute white thing lying at her feet.

".How far did you run in the time stop?" Wen Wen glanced to the side in amazement. The air passage outlined by her speed sweeping field, which twisted and changed at the same instant, extended from here to In the depths of the city, the length of the path even exceeded her perception range in her current normal state.

The black, long and straight girl's chest was slowly rising and falling, and she didn't mean to answer Wen Wen's question - the special body produced by the incubator, the magical girl still has the normal physiological activities such as breathing and heartbeat even if she dies. Humans perceive something abnormal.

After sighing, Wenwen turned her gaze to the hourglass device in Xiaomeiyan's left hand, and her gaze paused for a moment on the purple brilliance that flowed from the amethyst sphere above to the amethyst sphere below: "Under normal circumstances, your The contents of the hourglass will flow downward, and when the time stop ability is activated, you will cut off its flow.

"So the upper limit of your stop time should have nothing to do with this. If the magic power can bear it, it's not surprising to run so far. I don't know what will happen when everything above flows to the bottom?"

"This has nothing to do with you." The black, long straight girl's gaze sank slightly—the other party's sensitivity exceeded her expectations, and she had only been in contact with it twice, but she directly saw through the most critical limitation of her ability.

The hourglass of time, born from her wish, represents the time axis of one month. When she cuts off the existence flowing in the hourglass, she can stop time from moving forward, so when all the brilliance in the hourglass passes through the mechanical body in the center of the shield and comes down Once the container is removed, she will lose the ability to stop time.

Instead, it is the ability to turn the round shield, turn the time hourglass upside down, let the sands of time flow down again, and allow her to travel back to the timeline of a month ago.

She cannot freely go back in time when the hourglass is not empty, nor can she pause time again after the hourglass is empty.

From before and after enrolling as a transfer student to Witch's Night, this month's timeline is where all Homura's will and power are entangled and condensed. Only by truly defeating Witch's Night and eliminating the possibility of Madoka sacrificing herself to sign the contract, can she Try to reverse time to a point slightly later than the previous reincarnation in the more distant future.

No matter what, it's up to her to keep Madoka safe until she finds the world line that leads to Hope.

After glancing at the cute Chubby at Wenwen's feet with dark eyes, Xiao Meiyan said in a low voice: "I warned you, don't believe what this guy says. I don't know what you want to do when you come to Xiaoyuan's house , and will not easily believe the words of a strange and mysterious person like you, so please stay away from Xiaoyuan."

Wenwen looked down at Chubby, fiddled with the front of her leather boots, then raised her head and said, "After knowing about you, personally, I really want to help you, because I don't like things like tragedies.

"However, sometimes the definition of tragedy and comedy will change with different positions and visions. Before acting, I need to contact Madoka to confirm some things, so as to avoid doing things that go against my original intention."

"Know about me? How much do you know about that feeling?" Xiao Meiyan looked sideways at Xiaoyuan's house, murmured a few words and then turned to Wenwen and said, "I admit that after seeing you, I once There is such a momentary wavering, I want to pin a little hope on your unknown variable

"But my road has not come to an end. At least this time, I will not allow variables to destroy my long-term efforts. If you really want to help, just watch quietly—it won't be long, Night of the Witch It will come to this city, and when everything comes to fruition, if there is still a chance, I will come to you."

"Okay, okay, let's understand each other," Wen Wen spread her hands, "I promise you can see me next time, so in this reincarnation, I'm not in a hurry to contact the girl you care about, but I'll wait It shouldn't be a problem to talk to her relatives later, right?"

Xiao Meiyan frowned slightly, and slowly raised the time hourglass shield in her left hand——if possible, she didn't want to see anything that would make Madoka sad, so she paid attention even to Madoka's relatives and friends.

For some reason, she could always feel an uneasy aura from the mysterious woman opposite, which made it hard for her to believe the kindness released by the other party.

"Yeah." Sensing the girl's inexplicable hostility, Wen Wen pondered for a while and said, "I think you have misunderstood my ability and attitude."

Before the words that use air vibration as a carrier of communication reach the girl's ears, Wen Wen locked onto the peculiar mechanical body in the center of the hourglass of Girls' Time, and distorted the completion time of its operation and engagement process with the completion time of her own forward process. ——

The "fastness" of speed sweeping comes from cognition, but it can not only act on the specific speed vector of matter, as long as there is enough clear understanding and control, it can even distort two processes that take time to complete, and make one of the processes Always completes "faster" than another process.

Based on this, Wenwen can complete complex actions in the blink of an eye, and this process can even be set to be faster than the thinking and reaction speed of the locked target.

In an instant, Wen Wen completed her action faster than the gears turning and occluding, her figure disappeared in place, and instantly appeared beside the black, long, straight girl. A dagger of ordinary material emerged in her right hand, with the tip With a light probe, the operation of the central mechanical body of the time hourglass was blocked.

The pupils of the girl whose time-stopping ability was hindered shrank slightly, and she didn't hear the words from the front until the dust settled—"...I think you have misunderstood my ability and attitude"

In the girl's ear, Wenwen continued: "It's not that I can't overcome your obstacle to achieve my goal. Like I said before, how about understanding each other? Potential hostility can never really overcome rational thinking Right? Being vigilant is the right thing to do, but there's no need to push strangers in a hostile direction, right?"
