Chapter 940: Tomoe Mami, Who Declared a Dangerous Statement
With Kaname Madoka's searching, Tomoe Mami soon appeared inside the hospital.
"Is this the place?" Looking at the Grief Seed that had vanished without a trace, Tomoe Mami aimed her ring at the empty pillar.
Following a flash of dazzling light, a strange pattern invisible to ordinary people appeared before them; this pattern was the entrance to the Witch Barrier.
"Kyubey, what is the situation?" After opening the entrance to the barrier, Tomoe Mami contacted Kyubey immediately.
After understanding the situation regarding the Grief Seed, Tomoe Mami did not hesitate further and took Kaname Madoka directly into the Witch Barrier.
After the two entered the Witch Barrier, Akemi Homura also appeared inside the Witch Barrier.
Seeing the suddenly appearing Akemi Homura, a trace of impatience appeared on Tomoe Mami's face: "Didn't I tell you already, I don't want to see you again!"
Looking at Tomoe Mami, who was extremely repulsed by her, Akemi Homura's face still held no expression: "I will capture this prey; you two should stop!"
"Sorry, but I did say I was going to pick up Sayaka-kohai and bring her back!"
"I will ensure their safety."
"You think I would believe you?" Tomoe Mami brushed back her hair and suddenly attacked Akemi Homura.
Akemi Homura had not yet reacted when she was bound tight by ribbons extending from the Void, and a giant padlock appeared on her chest.
Watching Tomoe Mami about to leave, Akemi Homura said loudly: "This Witch is different in nature from the previous one!"
However, Tomoe Mami clearly had no intention of listening to Akemi Homura's advice, and instead took Kaname Madoka and left directly.
Watching the two's backs disappear from her sight, Akemi Homura struggled hard, but she had not transformed into a Magical Girl, and even if she had, she could not break free from the ribbons on her body.
"So, in the end, I still cannot save Mami-senpai's life?" Akemi Homura could not help but sigh. "No, that's not right, if at this time, Teacher could arrive..."
Wandering through the eerie Witch Barrier, Kaname Madoka poured out her thoughts from this period of time to Tomoe Mami; after stepping into this brand-new world of Magical Girls, she felt her life seemed to have undergone an extraordinary change.
"So, if I want to become a Magical Girl, my wish will be fulfilled. Even if I am useless, if I can be useful to others and live with my head held high, that is my greatest dream!"
Tomoe Mami let go of the hand she was holding Kaname Madoka's with: "It will be very hard, you know; you will get hurt, and there won't be time for love or play..."
"But, even so, Mami-nee, who is so unyielding, makes me admire you..."
Just at this moment, Tomoe Mami suddenly stopped her steps, making Kaname Madoka pause in surprise.
"I am not someone worth admiring! I am just forcing myself to put on a front; even if I am scared or sad, there is no one I can tell, and I can only cry alone. Being a Magical Girl is not a good job at all..."
After knowing that Kyubey must be hiding something from her, Tomoe Mami's feeling of loneliness deepened. She faintly sensed that what Kyubey was hiding from her was definitely not anything good, but she had been subconsciously avoiding this matter because she was afraid that after knowing what was behind it, she would lose this last existence she regarded as a friend.
"Mami-nee is no longer alone!" Kaname Madoka said, looking at Tomoe Mami's lonely back.
This sentence was like a critical hit, directly breaking through Tomoe Mami's sealed heart, causing Tomoe Mami's body to tremble slightly; she turned around abruptly and looked at Kaname Madoka in front of her, tears faintly shimmering in her eyes.
"Yes, that is indeed true. From now on, can you really fight with me? Can you stay by my side forever?" Tomoe Mami grabbed Kaname Madoka's hand, her tone filled with expectation.
"Yes, if I can!" Kaname Madoka said softly.
"What a bother, I still have to keep pretending to be the senior! I really am no good..." Tomoe Mami wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes; the aura on her body was completely different from before—it was a feeling filled with hope.
Just at this moment, Kyubey's slightly anxious voice abruptly interrupted their conversation: "Mami, this is bad, the Grief Seed has started to move!"
Hearing Kyubey's words, Tomoe Mami dared not linger and transformed directly into a Magical Girl. After all, Sayaka, who was as weak as a chicken, was still in that place; if anything happened, she would not be able to forgive herself.
Perhaps because she had a companion for the future, Tomoe Mami let go of her inner knots, and her combat power surged compared to before; countless Flintlocks appeared before her and launched attacks at the Familiars blocking the way.
"My body feels so light; this is the first time I've fought with such a happy mood. There is nothing to fear anymore! Because, I am no longer alone..."
Tomoe Mami cleared the Familiars in front of her rapidly, a smile she couldn't stop at the corners of her mouth; all enemies before her only had the fate of being completely crushed.
If Lingyun were in this place, he would definitely roast Tomoe Mami for being like an old general on a stage, covered in death flags. One must know that this line of Tomoe Mami's, "there is nothing to fear anymore," is on the same level of power as "I'll get married back home after this battle"; basically, unless one is the protagonist, no one can withstand the curse of this line. And the protagonist of this world is Kaname Madoka, not Tomoe Mami.
After passing through a gate, Tomoe Mami and the other finally saw Sayaka and Kyubey; the two were currently hiding behind a giant donut.
At this moment, the Snack Witch also appeared. A table and two chairs appeared in the center of the barrier. The legs of these three items were extremely high, and a Doll was sitting on one of the chairs. Subsequently, a Doll that looked like a little girl appeared lightly from mid-air and sat on the other chair.
At the same time, outside the Witch Barrier, Lingyun's figure quietly appeared before Akemi Homura.
"Akemi Homura-san, what is this look? It looks quite unique!" Lingyun said with a light laugh.
"Teacher, you finally came. Now is not the time to say that; the Witch Mami-nee is facing now is very dangerous for her, we must hurry over to save her!" Akemi Homura said with an anxious face.
"Dangerous, could it be that heavy statistic you mentioned again?" A trace of seriousness also appeared on Lingyun's face.
A glimmer of light flashed beside Akemi Homura, and the ribbons binding her turned into nothingness in an instant.
"We are going over right now!"
Lingyun would not tell Akemi Homura that the entire Witch Barrier was currently under his surveillance, and Sayaka still had his insurance on her; he could guarantee that Tomoe Mami would one hundred percent not have any accidents.
