353 A Story of Love and Hope?
"Look, I'm already dressed up."
"Is this... is this really me?" Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiao Meiyan couldn't believe it.
The girl in the mirror is about the same age and appearance as her, which is natural, because it is her, but the long hair that falls naturally, sways gently with the breeze blowing from the window, making it look even darker. Bright and beautiful, even that face is made a bit delicate and cute. This... is probably the legendary beautiful girl, right?
But, am I so beautiful?
Xiao Meiyan rarely looks in the mirror, but she also knows that she who usually wears braids has no connection with beautiful girls at all. She is as simple and old-fashioned as a village girl. Even she will feel inferior after looking at it, so... …Is the beautiful girl in the mirror really her? Not someone else pretending? Or through sorcery transformation?
"It's you, it's you Xiao Meiyan." Gu Mingdijue put down the comb in his hand and smiled slightly, "I just helped you dress up a little, and didn't do anything extra, because you yourself Your quality is not bad, that’s why there are such big changes... Of course, what changes now is just your appearance. If you can be more confident, even your whole temperament will change."
"Is...is that so?"
Ah, no!
Suddenly, Xiao Meiyan came back to her senses and stood up quickly, "Now, now is not the time to dress up, right? The most important thing..."
"What is it?" Gu Mingdijue asked, "Confirm the authenticity of my arrival from another world? The ability of the chat room? Or what level of ability can you, a magical girl, do?"
"I..." Xiao Meiyan was speechless for a moment. It is indeed very convenient to communicate with people who can read minds. She doesn't have to say anything, and the other person can know what she is thinking, and can even make a summary more clearly than her. It's just that Even if she said this, she herself could not nod with certainty.
She felt that the thoughts in her mind were still messy.
The only thing that's certain.
"At least making yourself cute is not important at all, right?"
"No, this is important."
"Um?"
"Whether it is a human or a monster, appearance is the first thing that is observed. Even monsters will first use their appearance to orient others. Especially for humans, who can express their thoughts openly and openly People are always easier to believe than timid people, and what you lack now is not only strength, but also self-confidence. So do you think it is unnecessary to build self-confidence through appearance and gain courage through self-confidence? Of?"
Xiao Meiyan was stunned, unable to refute for a moment. She subconsciously looked at herself in the mirror. Indeed, even if she was asked to choose, between the rustic self before and the cute self now, she would be more likely to accept recognition. the latter.
"Kill your fragile self and become brave from now on. Although it is not something that can be done in a short time, if you want to change, then work hard to get used to it."
"I...I understand!" Xiao Meiyan nodded heavily.
"Very good, then, what do you want to do most now? Don't hesitate, don't think, face your original intention, and say the thing at the top of the list."
"I...I want to see Mr. Shikamu!" Xiao Meiyan raised her head and looked at Gu Mingjijue.
"Then what?"
"Then... tell her that I have also become a magical girl and can fight with her!"
"Then go ahead."
"Is now okay?"
"Why not? Do you want to go with me to my world first to confirm the authenticity of the chat room?"
"No, no need." Xiao Meiyan shook her head quickly. Although she did think so at first, just like what Gu Mingdijue just said, she felt strong confidence and confidence from the other party, which made her instinctively believe it. Even if everything the other party said has not been proven by actual facts, I gradually no longer doubt it in my heart.
And to prove that this kind of thing can happen at any time, compared to this, she wants to see Shikame-san as soon as possible.
"But... I don't know how to fight yet. Can you teach me how to fight?"
"This kind of thing needs to be cultivated slowly, don't rush it, and the fighting method of monsters is not suitable for you humans, but don't worry, I will stay in this world for the time being, and you don't have to worry about my existence causing you trouble. As long as I use some special means, ordinary humans won't notice me... In short, do what you want to do most first."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Jue."
Xiao Meiyan said gratefully, and then she quickly went through the discharge procedures and went to Takimihara Middle School with Gu Mingjikaku. Gu Ming felt almost inseparable from her. She was originally worried that he would attract too much attention, but along the way, no one seemed to notice her at all, which made her secretly surprised.
Monsters are really powerful!
After arriving in the classroom, Gu Mingjijue was not with her, while Xiao Meiyan saw the long-awaited Shikama Madoka. She was so excited that she temporarily ignored the transfer student who was still introducing her on the podium. The teacher ran up and held Shikama Madoka's hands in front of everyone in the class.
"Shikame-kun! I've become a magical girl too!"
Ahhh, it's almost as despair as a public execution.
Not to mention Shikaeye Madoka, even Gu Mingjijue, who was sitting on the treetop outside the window, felt embarrassed for her. Xiao Meiyan only had Shikaeye Madoka in her mind, so she didn't care about other things at all. Was she overconfident? Or are you too happy? In any case, if she wants to stand alone, she still has a long way to go.
I seem to have taken on a troublesome task.
Gu Mingdi sighed secretly, her eyes flickering as she looked to the other side of the teaching building, where the senior students were. She saw a blond girl looking over at her from time to time.
Noticed her?
No, my hiding methods are quite good. Even a magical girl cannot see her. She should just have a vague feeling. Is it Tomoe Asami?
Gu Mingjijue was able to detect that there were three people with special powers in this school. In other words, there were three magical girls including Xiao Meiyan. Although she has never watched the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and only knows a little about the situation from the conversation between Tang Hao and Kaguya, it is not difficult to judge that among the three magical girls, the strongest one is currently This Tomoe Mami is beautiful.
Um?
While she was thinking, she suddenly saw a white mysterious creature running around the green belt.
Gu Ming felt something in his heart and immediately chased after him.
"Oh, I really didn't expect to meet someone like you in this school. Your qualifications are very good. You are the best among all the magical girls I have ever seen. My name is Kyubey. How about you? Do you want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?" A mysterious creature dressed in snow-white, with a long tail and ears, and two metal haloes hanging on its ears, stood elegantly on the flower bed and showed politeness to Gu Mingjijue smiled and asked.
Gu Mingdijue held his chin and thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the mysterious creature, looked at it up and down for a while, and murmured: "It's different from a cat, forget it, let's ask someone first. "
After saying that, she took out her mobile phone.
…
When Gu Mingjijue went to the world of "Madoka Magica", Tang Hao was also thinking about things in this world, that is, whether to tell the story of "Madoka Magica" to Akatsuki Homura.
After all, Akatsuki Homura is only two weeks old and is just an ordinary timid girl. Even if she becomes a magical girl, she hasn't changed much. At the same time, she doesn't know anything about the inside story of a magical girl.
Unlike the orthodox cute magical girls, the world of "Madoka Magica" is filled with cruelty and despair.
The family of incubators who call themselves Kyubey are creatures from an alien civilization. In order to maintain their energy consumption throughout the universe, they have developed technology that turns emotions into energy, and choose humans as victims, especially the most emotional humans. Girls, when the hope in their hearts turns to despair, they can generate huge amounts of energy.
Hope leads to becoming a magical girl, while despair degenerates into a witch. In other words, as long as a magical girl signs a contract with Kyubey, she will eventually become a witch due to despair and become the energy supplied to the universe. This cycle continues forever.
This is the world view of "Madoka Magica".
Lao Xu is really cruel. He has created such a cruel world view. Although he tells a story of love and hope, in fact, he cannot see any hope or light. Perhaps the love and hope that Lao Xu thinks are different from what he understands. Too much the same.
In short, in this world, famous tragic women in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have all become magical girls, such as Meng Jiangnu, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, etc., who eventually became victims without knowing it for the cause of the Chubby family. into the energy of the universe.
Akatsuki Homura thought that by becoming a magical girl she could protect Madoka and fight side by side with Madoka, but in fact it was just a crossroads leading to despair. Even if she can use the power of the chat room to defeat Witch Night, she cannot end the desperate rules of the universe. Even if Akatsuki Homura can escape from this vortex through the chat room, countless other magical girls will still be selected by the Kyubey family and become... The nature of the victim will not change at all.
Of course, in the original work, after Madoka became a god, she directly modified the rules of the universe using the principle of the circle, which finally made the magical girls in this world less tragic. However, because of this, Madoka became part of the rules and disappeared completely. Maybe it's a good thing for other magical girls, but can Xiaomi Homura accept this ending?
Putting it into perspective, if he were Xiao Meiyan, he would definitely not accept it.
"It's better to wait and see what happens."
Shaking his head, Tang Hao still couldn't think of a good idea, so he gave it up for the time being. At least Xiao Meiyan was still in the second week, and there was still a lot of time to think about it slowly.
