617 Because I’m Here

Lin Kemeng is a thirteen-year-old girl in the first grade of junior high school. She lives in Shanghai. She has healthy parents and a younger brother. Although she is not from a wealthy family, she still has a life that is enviable by most people. She takes leave every year and the whole family returns. Lin Kemeng will regularly travel abroad once, perhaps because he grew up in such a family. Lin Kemeng has an optimistic and cheerful personality, and has a kind heart under his handsome appearance. Whether at school or at home, he is deeply loved by everyone. Welcome.

Lin Kemeng likes to play the piano and takes piano lessons every week, but her favorite is animation.

When I was in the first grade of elementary school, when the TV at home started playing "Cardcaptor Sakura", I watched the heroine Sakura Kinomoto in the play. She was obviously just an elementary school student like myself, but she had so many dreamy and romantic experiences. , she was deeply addicted to that world.

After that, she gradually grew up, and magical girls also ushered in a new era - Magical Girl Nanoha.

A more magnificent world, more gorgeous and powerful magic, from ignorant first love to sincere friendship, let Lin Kemeng gradually become an adult, not only did not disappear her childhood fantasy, but opened up a new world of magical girls in her heart. Chapter.

Therefore, when Lin Kemeng became a magical girl, she did not have any experience of bitterness and hatred, nor did she have a great ambition to save the world. It was just because of the little things in the past and the yearning for a world full of love and hope. .

A girl's romance, nothing more.

Although after becoming a magical girl, she finally understood that this world is not only about romance, but also about battles and dangers, as well as evil witches that must be defeated. During this period, she had many bumps and bruises, got into trouble, and was confused. time, but perhaps because of her pure thoughts, she never retreated even a step. Whenever the witch appeared, she always fought at the forefront, holding on to the romance of love and hope in her heart.

Today is Saturday. There is no magical girl job and no classes. Lin Kemeng is like an ordinary person, wearing beautiful clothes, meeting up with his best friends, and swimming around the streets of Magic City in a cheerful mood.

Ordinary and happy days are completely different from another dangerous world, but looking at the smiles on the faces of her friends, she understands that perhaps it is because of this ordinary that she can persevere on the path of a magical girl.

Because this is the daily life she protects.

A small vanity, but endless happiness.

At night, after the movie ended, Lin Kemeng and his friends walked out of the cinema holding popcorn. Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the sky, which made Lin Kemeng, who had just walked to the door of the cinema, raise his head reflexively, and then she Seeing a corner of the starry sky seemed to be torn off, a huge light pierced the night sky. In a trance, the night turned into day and passed in a flash. The reverberation in the darkness brought a desperate cry.

For a moment, the girl's bright eyes showed a little uneasiness.

"Kimu, what's wrong with you?"

"I... seemed to hear..."

"What did you hear?"

"Is there anything good to see in the sky?"

"Where is it? Is it a shooting star? Let me see it too."

Her friends looked at her with concern and curiosity. Lin Kemeng did not answer, but vaguely, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

"Sorry, everyone, please go back first. I'll go over and take a look."

"Eh?"

"Wait, Kamuo..."

"Ah, ran away."

As if he didn't hear the calls of his friends, Lin Kemeng quickly ran out of the cinema and disappeared from everyone's sight. Then he completed the transformation in an instant and rushed into the unknown distance as a magical girl.

After a moment, the scene in front of the girl changed. The magical city was still the same magical city, but the surrounding streets, houses and even the night sky, everything began to distort, just like Picasso's portrait, with weird postures, weird movements, weird The sound was so loud that even the street lamps sneered like human faces.

Everything is so depressing, making people instinctively feel fear and despair.

"She is indeed a witch!"

Lin Kemeng took a deep breath, and his soft eyes gradually became sharper.

Witch, the evil existence that is opposite to the magical girl, at least this is what Lin Kemeng understands, and the contracted beast who signed a contract with her also told her so.

Witches are born out of despair. They feed on humans. When they start to act, those who are in a low mood or pessimistic will be attracted by the signals released by the witch and unconsciously walk into the enchantment of the witch. , and was eventually killed.

This is the world that magical girls face.

This was not the first time for Lin Kemeng to fight a witch. She had already been fully prepared for this. When the slender witch on the other side, who was as tall as a street lamp and came with a cry of grief, Lin Kemeng's back instantly grew Two angel-like wings carried her high into the sky.

At the same time, countless thin silver threads shot out from her fingertips, winding around the witch's body like strings. Then when her fingers gently plucked, the beautiful notes turned into reality, and the street lamp witch exploded in the blink of an eye. Everything is broken.

This is Lin Kemeng's fighting style - Qinyin.

In fact, at first, Lin Kemeng wanted to be a card-type magical girl like Kinomoto Sakura, or a bombardment-type magical girl like Takamachi Nanoha, but unfortunately, she had no talent in either of these areas. While practicing piano, I became more comfortable controlling strings and music, and I seemed to have become a piano demon without realizing it...

No, it’s the magical girl of music!

Lin Kemeng corrected herself in her mind, trying hard to make her fighting style more romantic. Then she carefully retracted the strings. The street lamp witch on the ground had become fragmented and gradually began to disappear.

But what surprised Lin Kemeng was that the distorted environment around him did not change at all. There was still a faint scream after that, but with the death of the street lamp witch, it became clearer... It was not in the ears, it seemed to ring. Penetrating into one's own soul.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

That is the babble of despair, that is the lament of depravity.

Vaguely, a picture emerged in the girl's mind. In the picture, the magical girl was polluted by black despair, her body was elongated, and her face was distorted, like a street lamp...

"How is that possible?" Lin Kemeng's expression changed. Why did he see such an illusion?

Could it be...

"Uh-huh——"

At this moment, the twisted space was stretched again, and the night seemed to cover the entire world. A huge shadow appeared in the distant sky, and with that mournful cry, shelling shot through the sky.

"not good!"

The crisis was right in front of her. Lin Kemeng didn't think much and instinctively opened the strings. Countless strings formed an intertwined net in front of her. In the past, this net could help her resist all attacks, but at this moment.

Wow!

With a heavy blow, the string net was torn apart in an instant, and the remaining gunfire hit her body, knocking her down from the sky. After a brief dizziness, she opened her eyes again, and suddenly found that the shadow in the distance had already appeared. Fired the second bombardment.

boom--

It’s over!

Can't hide!

Facing the bombardment that seemed to be swallowing her up, Lin Kemeng's eyes suddenly widened. She clutched the soul gem on her chest tightly, but the boundless darkness crept up her body, leaving her unable to give birth to a single breath. strength.

Am I going to die?

Death in a place like this, no one knows...

Maybe this is the fate of magical girls. I should have known this when I fought the witch for the first time...

But……

In a daze, Lin Kemeng recalled the excitement when he saw a magical girl on TV for the first time, the heart filled with that dream, and the endless joy when he knew that magical girls really existed in this world.

But now, this dream road will come to an end.

Do you regret it?

Maybe there is, but even if I had to do it all over again, I think I would still become a magical girl.

Because this is my dream.

Dreams of love and hope.

Even if I die, I don't want to become a witch.

However, I don’t want to die yet. I still have many things to do, including tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...

"Dad...Mom...everyone..."

The girl held her hands against her chest, her tears falling unsatisfactorily, and the artillery fire reflected in her eyes was already close at hand.

I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die yet!

"Help...save me..."

At the end of her life, Lin Kemeng did not give up hope of survival. Even though she knew that no one would come to save her, even if she knew that no one could hear her voice, she still used her last strength to cry for help to the stars.

Then, deadly artillery fire followed, and even the stars could no longer be seen...

"I've heard your voice, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the dark night.

boom!

The next moment, a bright light fell from the sky and tore through the artillery fire.

The death he imagined did not come. Lin Kemeng only felt his body swaying slightly, as if he was being held in someone's arms.

The warmth coming from beside her made her raise her head subconsciously, and in front of her was a sharp-edged face.

"Ask why, because I'm here!"

The man lowered his head and smiled slightly. Lin Kemeng saw that his eyes seemed to reflect the stars in the universe.

Although she was being held in the arms of a strange man, she felt an unprecedented sense of security, and she looked so good-looking.

At this moment, Lin Kemeng instinctively remembered the cartoon "Sailor Moon" that she had watched. Although it was not a magical girl series, it was still a story of love and hope. Whenever the heroine Shui Bingyue was in danger, , her Prince Charming Kamen Rider will appear, just like now.

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, the thirteen-year-old girl felt her heart beat for the first time, and her pale face quickly turned red.

"What's wrong? I think my timing was pretty good. I shouldn't have received a fatal blow, right? Did I get scared? Hey, wake up."

Tang Hao frowned and patted the girl's face gently.
