Chapter 197
She twisted the handles and stepped inside.
Her blond hair, which looked like a handicraft, was scattered underneath, and the girl was falling into a sweet sleep holding a pillow with 'Makise Kurisu' painted on it.
"This kid really knows how to force himself. He has to stay up late to draw after the exam."
Sayuri Sawamura glanced at the laptop that had not been shut down on the desk and thought to herself.
She wanted her daughter to sleep a little longer, but she remembered her daughter's previous request to avoid being complained again, so she had to step forward and shake her daughter awake.
"Huh? Is it...Gasang? Have you had breakfast? No, I want to sleep until noon..."
Yinglili slowly opened her sleepy eyes, looking distracted.
"Okay, you can sleep as long as you want, but today is an 'important day' that someone specifically asked me to remind you of."
Sayuri Sawamura shook her paper fan, covered her face and said with a smile.
"ah!"
Yinglili's eyes suddenly became clear, and she woke up with a start, as if all the fatigue in her body had disappeared.
"It shouldn't be too late, right?"
The girl stood up and changed in a hurry, put on her black-rimmed glasses and a camouflage hat, tidied up her appearance in the bathroom, then went to the entrance, changed her shoes and went out.
Taking a bite of the hamburger, Yinglili rushed to the bookstore like a classic comic heroine going out.
Fortunately, her eagerness did not fail her, and she got the first volume of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" as soon as possible.
After returning home and asking her mother to brew herself a cup of coffee, Yinglili opened a new chapter she had been waiting for.
…
"If you give up, that's the end of it. But if it's you, you can change your destiny. The inevitable destruction and sigh. You just need to subvert them all. You also have the power to do all this."
"Really? Can a person like me really do anything? Can this outcome be changed?"
"Of course, so make a contract with me and become a magical girl!"
The beginning of the plot is a paradox, originating from the dream of a girl named Madoka Shikama.
The story itself is nothing special, and it even fits everyone’s stereotypes. When an ordinary girl meets a magical pet, she transforms into a magical girl to solve problems when she is in danger.
This kind of beginning is very ordinary, but it is a dream.
"This is certainly not meaningless. Is it another reincarnation of time?"
Yinglili not only began to figure out the intention of this beginning.
Not only because of the habits she developed after becoming a serious cartoonist, but also because she smelled the time elements of the previous "Summer Again" and "Steins;Gate".
The subsequent plot did not have many twists and turns, and there were no surprises as expected.
Shikama Madoka began the warm daily life of his family, and then met the girl in the dream.
While in the corridor, Madoka Shikame had a meaningful conversation with the mysterious transfer student Akatsuki Homura.
"Sure enough, that dream at the beginning was a hint that Xiao Meiyan was a time traveler?"
Yinglili didn't feel confused at all and could make a judgment easily.
In fact, this does not require any judgment ability. You only need to read Hachiman's two previous works to understand it.
"It's just that the positioning of the role is different. Isn't the time traveler the protagonist?"
This is what made her question.
"Yes, if you keep writing, you will get bored easily, right? You should change your perspective."
The girl quickly understood.
In a subsequent encounter, Madoka Shikama and his friend Sayaka Miki met a witch and were saved by their senior student Tomoe Mami.
The appearance of such a senior character and magical pets was completely expected.
"It's obviously just an ordinary development, but I am looking forward to it so much. Is it because Hachiman impressed me too deeply before? No! There must be something different in this. Maybe I haven't figured it out yet."
Yinglili thought with a frown.
On the other side at the same time.
"This is too 'magical girl'... I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed."
Kosaka Kirino didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw this.
Works on many themes actually follow a formula. After all, if you can make money, you will naturally flock to them.
For example, the novel "Academic Dragon Aotian": the male protagonist is looked down upon by others on the first day of school, is challenged by the seemingly strong heroine, and then defeats the opponent fiercely to achieve the effect of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger...
Of course, magical girls also have a similar formula.
Therefore, the plot so far is very familiar to Kirino Kosaka.
273 Tomoe Mami: "There is nothing to be afraid of anymore."
Many female readers, including Kirino Kousaka and Eri Riri, have experience watching magical girl animations. Even if they are not many, they will have a strong sense of déjà vu.
Of course, Teacher Tsukoshi's writing style is still attractive. The daily life between Shikama Madoka and his family described at the beginning is not long, but it is also very touching. Even if you don't read the author's famous characters, you can still read it. Gotta go down.
besides……
"This abstract illustration style must be intentional, right? Teacher Eromanga was specially asked to practice in this area. What are you planning on doing, Hachiman?"
Yinglili's eyes slowly fell on the page of illustrations next to her finger, her expression thoughtful.
…
After Madoka Shikama and Sayaka met Tomoe Mami, they became the people chosen by the 'magical pet' Kyubey, so Tomoe Mami felt it was necessary to let the two of them know things related to it.
"This is the soul gem, a gem created by the chosen girl through a contract. It is not only the source of magic power, but also the proof of the magical girl..."
It is at this time that the role of the senior series comes into play.
Not only explaining it to the two school girls, but also explaining it to the readers who are reading the novel.
"What is the contract?"
The two girls had questions.
"I can grant any of your wishes."
Kyubey answered.
This is a very tempting condition, and the corresponding price is to bear the fate of fighting the witch.
"Hmm... I can actually make a wish directly, and I can't refuse it at all. It would be great if I could also become a magical girl."
Kosaka Kirino felt envious.
As for other points worth complaining about, she didn't think too much about it. Witches, familiars, etc. are not just the villain camp in the setting. Magical girls, as the righteous party, defeat the villain and save the world. This is a normal setting.
As for the words about risking one's life, they just passed by indifferently.
However, when she saw Tomoe Mami talking about Homura Akatsuki's commentary that defeating the witch would be rewarded, she had doubts.
"It seems that the fight between magical girls will also be fierce? But Xiaomi Homura is obviously from the future, and her feelings for Madoka should not be about competing for prey..."
The plot we saw next also supports this point.
While the girls were resting on the rooftop, Akatsuki Homura appeared again and reiterated her advice.
"Homura, um, what wish did you make to become a magical girl?"
Shikama Madoka asked with great concern.
Xiao Meiyan just turned around without saying a word, but revealed something from her indifferent eyes, which was heartbreaking.
What kind of secret could this be?
The readers who are currently reading have no way of knowing yet, and they may only be able to understand the complex emotions expressed in it when the puzzle is revealed in the future.
"Looking forward to Teacher Yue's writing..."
Kirino Kousaka has seen this kind of foreshadowing a lot, but she still likes it.
Later, Madoka Shikama witnessed Tomoe Mami's heroic appearance when fighting the witch, as well as her beautiful figure striving to fight for others, and he admired her very much.
"Even if I am useless, if I can help others like that, that would be really gratifying."
She didn't just think so.
Another day on the way home.
The topic suddenly came to Tomoe Mami's wish, which was a sad past event...
The description of this story allows readers to have a clear and three-dimensional understanding of Tomoe Mami, a character who has just appeared, even more profoundly than the protagonist Madoka. It also makes everyone understand that this gentle and kind-hearted person can still fight. beautiful senior sister.
"Let me say, Asami-san, can't this wish be made only for yourself? For example, just as an analogy... if there is someone who is more troubled than me, if you make a wish for that person..."
Sayaka suddenly asked such a question.
"...Miki-san, do you hope that he can realize his wish? Or do you want to be the benefactor who realizes his wish? These sound the same, but they are actually two different things."
Tomoe Asami once again showed her mature side as a senior and said something impressive.
"I think that's a bit much."
"I'm sorry, but if you don't make it clear now, if you go in the wrong direction on this point, you will definitely regret it."
Here Tomoe Mami is thinking about Sayaka, because she thinks of Sakura Kyoko, the student she taught before, which also embodies Sayaka's character and foreshadows the subsequent ending.
"Ms. Asami is so awesome!"
Seeing this, Kirino Kosaka has completely fallen in love with this character.
Although such characters are not uncommon, even with the same character setting, different people write very different flavors.
Obviously, Teacher Yuezi wrote the feeling she wanted.
"That's it, it's pretty good. I'm fully willing to keep reading."
She couldn't help but think.
But this idea soon ushered in an incredible turning point.
The barrier unfolds and the witch appears again.
Ignoring Xiaomi Homura's dissuasion, Tomoe Mami took Madoka's little hand and walked into the barrier.
Taking advantage of this time, Madoka Shikame expressed his desire to become a magical girl and his admiration for his senior sister.
"I'm not someone worth admiring..."
"Sister Asami is no longer alone..."
Tomoe Mami showed her vulnerable side, but Madoka's recognition made her very emotional, which was reflected in the subsequent battle.
"Okay, let me make a quick decision today."
"My body is so light. This is the first time I have fought in such a cheerful mood. There is nothing to be afraid of anymore, because I am no longer alone..."
"I'm sorry, I have to... finish you off in one go!"
When facing the Snack Witch, she didn't make any tentative moves, didn't think too much, and fought without any scruples.
However, carelessness on the battlefield can be fatal!
During the gap between her ultimate move, the Snack Witch got rid of the shackles of the move and rushed straight towards her.
At the moment of Asami Tomoe's shock, the snack witch took a bite!
The soul gem shattered, and the headless body fell from the sky.
We never expected that Tomoe Mami, who we had high hopes for, would die under the bite of the snack witch...
The biblical chant before turned into a death flag.
"ah?"
At this moment, almost all readers have the same expression at this moment.
What's happening here……?
Such a gentle and kind senior died like this? And his head was screwed off?
