Chapter 240

In response, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded thoughtfully, completely forgetting that the girl in front of him only had theories like him.

Not long after, they came to the bookstore.

The arrival of the two girls attracted a little attention, but not because they were girls, but because of Yukinoshita's appearance.

After all, there are many girls among the waiting crowd.

According to a poll on a certain website, more than 50% of the readers of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" are female, while the female readers of "Steins;Gate" and "Summer Again" account for less than 20%. As you can imagine , this work has added so many female fans to Yuexi Zhenmei.

But this is reasonable, after all, the magical girl genre is more popular among women.

To be precise, the audience of both men and women is pretty good.

After the two women bought the novel, they quickly returned home, and the long-awaited story appeared in their minds.

Volume 4 begins with a sudden transition.

"I am...Xiao Meiyan."

The girl with braids introduced herself to the class very weakly.

Such a scene gives readers a sense of déjà vu.

Isn't this the plot at the beginning?

No, that's not right! This is a memory!

This is the past that belongs to the time traveler Akatsuki Homura!

Regarding the origin of Xiao Meiyan, even if they have read the previous works of "Moonlight Is So Beautiful", readers who do not know it can quickly understand it all through the prompts in the previous volume.

So, why did things become like this?

It all started from that day.

The day before the cycle of sorrow begins.

Akatsuki Homura's character at the beginning was completely different from the character she shows now. At that time, she was weak and had no self-confidence. She couldn't do anything and needed to rely on everyone's protection. At that time, she met Madoka, who had become a magical girl. they.

Such happy days did not last long, and soon they ushered in the battle with the Witch Night.

Witch Night is so powerful that they simply can't match it.

After Miss Asami died, Madoka still chose to fight without hesitation.

"Why? Even Senior Ba is dead!"

"That's why I'm going, because I'm the only one who can stop the Witch Night."

"It's impossible. One person can't defeat that thing. Shikame-san will also die!"

"Even then, I am still a magical girl and I have to protect everyone."

However, compared to the brave and fearless Madoka, Akatsuki Homura is much timid.

"Hey, run away, because there's nothing you can do about it. No one will hate Shikame-san."

"Homura, I'm very happy to be friends with you. I caught up with you when you were attacked by the witch. I'm proud of it now, so I think it's great to be a magical girl."

After saying these words, Madoka died gloriously in battle.

At this moment, Kosaka Kirino and Aragaki Ayase were shocked.

Is there any mistake? Are the performances of Madoka and Homura Akatsuki so different from before?

But if you think about it a little more, you can find that the contrast between the two is actually very reasonable.

Akatsuki Homura has gone through time reincarnation and become cold and mature, while Madoka did not show such tenacity because she was not given that opportunity, because she did not become a magical girl and did not have enough power, but her advantages of gentleness and kindness can still be It can be seen in daily life.

"By the way, Madoka's strength doesn't seem to be as strong as Kyubey brags about? Whether it's the previous battle or the battle with Witch Night."

Aragaki Ayase suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"Indeed, did Teacher Yuezi forget this setting? Or did Kyubey make a mistake? Or is it that Witch of the Night is too strong?"

Kosaka Kirino made various guesses.

But it seems like none of these three are quite right.

She had no choice but to continue reading, believing that Teacher Yuese would give the answer.

…

After Madoka dies, Kyubey, who engages in pyramid schemes, appears at the right time.

"Are you willing to risk your soul for that prayer?"

"If I make a contract with you, can any wish come true?"

After getting the affirmative answer from Kyubey, the girl who had always been weak underwent a huge change after experiencing great grief and pain.

"I want to meet Shikame-san again, not as me being protected by her, but as me protecting her..."

Xiao Meiyan successfully made this wish, giving her the power to go back to the past.

Readers finally know how Akatsuki Homura became a magical girl, and it’s no wonder that Kyubey in the first volume didn’t know about her existence.

333The embodiment of love and hope

"The difference between before and after is too big!"

When Yuigahama Yui saw the performance of Madoka and Akatsuki Homura, she couldn't help but cry out.

"The creation of this sense of contrast is very clever and reasonable. After Kyoko and Sayaka, the two vacant roles were filled at this time... This also shows that Akatsuki will be next. The home ground of Miho and Madoka.”

Yukinoshita Yukino sees this very clearly.

…

"Shikame-kun, I have become a magical girl too."

On the day of transferring school, Xiaomi Homura was so happy to see Madoka again that she held Madoka's little hands, making the latter feel very shy.

Then, Xiao Meiyan started her training career.

It can be said to have quite a dark history. Compared to the proficiency of others, a girl who has not completely transformed can be said to be very poor. Even if she has time to stop this ability, she cannot control it well.

Readers can't help but laugh when they see this.

Because this is so different from the cold, black, long and straight attributes that Xiao Meiyan showed at the beginning, she is a complete loser.

"It's like comparing Xiaoxue's performance before and after she fell in love with Xiaoqi."

Yuigahama Yui glanced at Yukino furtively and smiled secretly.

In the past, Xiaoxue had a sharp tongue, was cold, and could be called a flower on the mountain, with a strong competitive spirit, but later she became quite soft, easily shy, and super gentle.

Only then did she experience the cuteness created by 'contrast cuteness'.

But this smile soon became unsustainable.

…

The story progresses again to the night of facing the witch.

This time, although Miss Asami died, they won with Madoka's efforts.

However, the inevitable fate still comes.

With the soul gem completely dyed black, Madoka turned into a witch.

Only then did Xiao Meiyan learn the cruel truth.

She could only travel through time again and tell others about it.

However, no one could believe it.

Until that day, Sayaka transformed into a mermaid witch.

This fact shocked everyone, especially Tomoe Asami.

Tomoe Mami's heart was actually very fragile. After this incident, she turned desperate and shot Kyoko.

Madoka reacted in time and decisively killed Tomoe Mami in this state.

…

"Is it such a big deal?"

Kosaka Kirino almost spat out a mouthful of salt soda.

Although this kind of thing is very disappointing, it shouldn't be such a big reaction, right?

In this way, there is a reason for Xiao Meiyan not to tell others the time of the first volume.

And Madoka’s reaction was exaggerated enough.

The tenacity of Madoka’s character is finally reflected here.

…

In the third reincarnation, Witch Night was killed by Madoka and Akatsuki Homura, but the soul gem was still muddy and the result remained unchanged.

"Can you go and save me, the idiot who hasn't been deceived by Kyubey yet?"

Madoka, with tears in her eyes, made a plea to Akatsuki Homura.

This is also the reason why Akatsuki Homura repeatedly prevented Madoka from becoming a magical girl at the beginning. It turned out that this was Madoka's own decision.

"No matter how many times I repeat it, I will definitely protect you!"

Looking at this appearance, Xiao Meiyan is willing to spend her whole life fulfilling this promise.

After that, Xiao Meiyan also underwent a real transformation.

"Because no one believes in the future, and no one can accept the future."

Therefore, in order to prevent Madoka from fighting, she can only choose to fight alone, exercise her fighting power, and try her best to defeat the Witch Night that is bound to come.

Then, there was the scene of Madoka dreaming at the beginning of the first volume.

In the end, Madoka became a magical girl and even defeated the once invincible Witch Night with one blow.

But this result is still not the ending Xiao Meiyan wants.

"Repeat and I will repeat countless times."

"Reincarnate countless times in the same time period, looking for the only exit, in order to find a way to save you from your desperate fate."

"Madoka, my only friend."

"For you, as long as it's for you, it doesn't matter even if I'm trapped in an eternal maze."

She embarks on this endless journey again.

This scene is very touching.

It can be said that most people started to like and identify with Xiao Meiyan, a character that has been played for a long time.

Even if some readers have experienced the plot that Rintaro Okabe repeated countless times for Mayuri Shiina in Stone Gate, the same is true.

A cliched story does not mean that it is not excellent, but it means that it can withstand the test and can satisfy human desires.

So the important thing is the description. The description of "Love Farewell" here is different from the description of Stone Gate, but it is equally wonderful.

Then the explanation of the plot that Kirino Kosaka was waiting for came.

The reason why there is a huge gap in combat power between Madoka and Madoka is because the karma Xiaomi Homura has placed on Madoka in the continuous reincarnation of time is constantly increasing, so she is also constantly getting stronger.

"You have done a great job, Homura. You helped me train Madoka to become the strongest witch."

Kyubey didn't forget to mock.

…

"So angry!"

Kosaka Kirino clenched his fists and was absolutely furious.

It’s too uncomfortable to keep trying to save someone but only to help the other party.

However, even more anger is yet to come.

Kyubey found Madoka, and then expressed his ideas, and also made Madoka feel the cycle of countless magical girls from praying and hoping to despair.
