Chapter 938: Akemi Homura's Decision

"Good morning, Sayaka!" Kaname Madoka smiled and waved at Sayaka.

Sayaka smiled and ran toward Kaname Madoka, a smile also appearing on her face.

"Did you go to see Kamijou Kyousuke yesterday, Sayaka?" Kaname Madoka asked Sayaka.

"Yeah." Sayaka nodded vigorously.

Kamijou Kyousuke is Sayaka's childhood friend and also a violin genius. However, this genius has now run into huge trouble; an accidental injury caused his hand to be severely damaged, and he is currently hospitalized.

Yesterday, Sayaka took a CD she had gone to great lengths to find to visit the hospitalized Kamijou Kyousuke. Judging by her current appearance, the time they spent together must have been quite pleasant.

"The one who makes the Contract doesn't necessarily have to be the target of the wish..." Recalling what Kyubey said, a trace of hesitation still flashed in Sayaka's eyes.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared not far away.

"Madoka, it's that transfer student." Sayaka gently nudged the Kaname Madoka beside her.

"Eh, it really is her." Kaname Madoka cast her gaze toward Akemi Homura.

"Hey, Madoka, don't you feel like the transfer student has been a bit different lately?" Sayaka asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, I suppose there is a little bit..." Kaname Madoka looked in Akemi Homura's direction and said somewhat uncertainly.

For some reason, starting a while ago, she felt that the aura about Akemi Homura seemed to have undergone a slight change, as if she had let go of something, but also as if she had found some new goal to strive for.

But because of Kyubey, the relationship between them never seemed to become particularly good. Especially Sayaka, who seemed to really dislike Akemi Homura.

Not only that, but the relationship between Tomoe Mami and Kyubey had also been a bit strange lately; a subtle, invisible rift seemed to have appeared between the two.

"Hmm, I just feel like things are getting a bit troublesome!" Kaname Madoka rubbed her forehead with some helplessness.

Akemi Homura quietly glanced at Kaname Madoka and the other girl, a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

Last night, she had quietly met with Tomoe Mami with the intention of asking Tomoe Mami not to bring Kaname Madoka and the other girl into the world of Magical Girls. Because she knew that being a Magical Girl was a path of no return; whether it was Sayaka or Kaname Madoka, as long as they stepped onto this path, they would inevitably not have a good ending. Unless, as Lingyun had said before, one reconstructed the world and changed the laws of the universe, but how could such a thing possibly happen?

It was just a pity that Tomoe Mami did not understand what she was saying at all; one could even say that the conversation between the two of them was not on the same wavelength at all. Tomoe Mami stubbornly believed that she was afraid that Kaname Madoka and the others would possess power exceeding her own after becoming Magical Girls, which was why she wanted to stop them from becoming Magical Girls. This situation truly made her feel very helpless.

She also knew why Tomoe Mami wanted to pull Kaname Madoka and the other girl into the ranks of Magical Girls; it was simply because she was far too afraid of loneliness. Having fought alongside her through endless Cycles, she understood Tomoe Mami quite well; her Ribbon Magic already revealed her inner heart—it was precisely because she feared loneliness that she wanted to connect everything together and not let them leave her side.

In the end, the conversation between the two concluded unhappily. Tomoe Mami warned Akemi Homura that this time would definitely be the last time they would rely solely on conversation to resolve problems. Tomoe Mami's meaning was already very clear: if Akemi Homura interfered in their affairs again, then she would not mind going to war with Akemi Homura.

If they really had to fight, Akemi Homura would naturally not fear Tomoe Mami. Although in terms of combat power, Tomoe Mami was the strongest, Akemi Homura, having experienced countless Cycles, was no pushover either. Relying on her time ability and the information gap between the two, it was not particularly difficult to take down Tomoe Mami via a surprise attack, provided Tomoe Mami had not grasped her ability.

However, whether as someone walking the same path of no return as a Magical Girl, or as a teammate who had fought side-by-side through countless Cycles, Akemi Homura did not really want to raise a hand against Tomoe Mami. Moreover, if the two were to fight, it would inevitably consume a massive amount of magic. Her own Soul Gem having undergone an anomaly might not have much of an impact, but it would be somewhat unfriendly for Tomoe Mami. After all, if magic is consumed excessively, it will cause a Magical Girl to turn into a witch.

"If I could let Mami-senpai find a reliable companion, perhaps Mami-senpai wouldn't keep pestering Madoka like this." Akemi Homura couldn't help but mutter in her heart. "But where am I supposed to find a reliable companion?"

Thinking of this, Akemi Homura couldn't help but feel a bit depressed. Although she also knew another Magical Girl, Sakura Kyoko, the competitive relationship between Magical Girls caused by Grief Seeds made the difficulty of them coexisting peacefully increase by who knows how much.

After pondering for a while, a bright light suddenly flashed in Akemi Homura's eyes. If it were Lingyun, perhaps he could become Tomoe Mami's companion. First, he was a teacher, and in a certain sense, he was an elder to Tomoe Mami. Second, Lingyun was not a Magical Girl and did not need Grief Seeds, so there was no competitive relationship between them.

Moreover, judging from some of Lingyun's actions, he was also on the side of the Magical Girls; otherwise, he wouldn't have told her so many things. Although she felt a bit sorry for Lingyun by doing this, for the sake of Kaname Madoka, she could only do this now.

Furthermore, this was a very important entry point, because Lingyun's previous actions had caused an invisible rift to appear between Tomoe Mami and Kyubey. Perhaps it was precisely because of the appearance of this rift that Tomoe Mami was so desperate to have Kaname Madoka and the others become Magical Girls.

However, wanting to make Lingyun appear before Tomoe Mami and squeeze Kyubey out of Tomoe Mami's life would still require an opportunity. When would this opportunity appear?

Akemi Homura sat in her seat, her thoughts drifting. Suddenly, Akemi Homura's eyes lit up; she seemed to have thought of a way to have Lingyun intervene in Tomoe Mami's life.

"Achoo—"

Lingyun, who was in the office, couldn't help but sneeze.

"What's wrong, Brother?" Ruoxi looked at Lingyun with some surprise. Given Lingyun's current state, he shouldn't be getting sick.

"It's nothing, I feel like someone is plotting against me. Could it be Kyubey?" Lingyun waved his hand and said.

Although Lingyun didn't know who was plotting against him in the dark, in this world, pinning all the blame on Kyubey was never a problem.
