Chapter 132

"If only Nightmares didn't appear tonight, and everyone could have a happy night's sleep," Madoka gently stroked Kyubey's head, smiling as she looked at Homura beside her.

"It feels so magical. I feel like I've always wanted to chat leisurely with Homura like this."

Madoka smiled. "Is it strange? It's just a small thing, after all, we can see each other every day."

However, this feeling... Homura doesn't hate it; in fact, she likes it very much.

If she could be with Madoka, then staying like this forever would be fine too.

【Jibril: "Wuwu, tears are falling. Actually, I've shipped this CP for a long time, but there has never been such a harmonious scene."】

【Kurosaki Ichigo: "This... is this really real?"】

【Doctor Strange: "Like a dream, like an illusion, true and false, it's unfathomable."】

【Asuka: "I have a feeling... of the chaos of seeing those monsters. My brain is so messy. Was everything that happened before just a dream?"】

【Amon: "Someone has fooled everyone~"】

EVA World

"Can humans really break the shackles of fate... Why must children be sacrificed?", in the pitch-black room, Ikari Shinji curled his body into a ball.

He stared blankly at the wall, fearful and lonely.

Problem Children World

"Could it be...", a possibility appeared in Sakamaki Izayoi's heart.

"Could it be what? Say it already," Black Rabbit urged.

"Do you remember that Akemi Homura once told Kyubey everything?"

"Right, are you suspecting...?", Black Rabbit seemed to have thought of something.

"Kyubey, a supreme race in the universe, came here to seek energy to save the universe."

"After the Law of Cycles, Kyubey lost all memories, thus believing that the way of collecting energy under the Law of Cycles is correct."

"But what would a race that is absolutely rational, and doesn't even have emotions, do after hearing that there is a more effective way to collect energy?"

"Without a doubt, practice! Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"Perhaps... this is a feast targeting the Law of Cycles," Sakamaki Izayoi muttered, frowning.

It's just... is there something wrong somewhere?

In the young girl's bedroom

Hormones secreting, ignorant love stirring, the girl wore a nightgown, took cute little steps, and anxiously called the person she liked.

"Yes, Kamijou is always working hard, he's so cool and breezy, I like him so much...", Shizuki Hitomi hugged her pillow tightly, rolling back and forth, her eyes full of love and longing.

"Cool Kamijou... reliable Kamijou... Kamijou who makes one long for him," the girl rolled around hugging her pillow.

But before she knew it, the light in the girl's eyes was lost, replaced by madness and chaos.

And everything around her had already turned into an indescribable scene; fish swam in an ocean of lines, and the lines swallowed the girl in turn.

The colors belonging only to the girl invited the Nightmare, turning into a Nightmare—

At the same time, Mami Tomoe, who had just finished washing up, couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the cute doll Bebe calling out in front of her.

"Is it here again? Really, staying up late is the enemy of beauty."

】

【Merry: "Oh my~ This is really full of complaints, it's baffling, Mami-senpai~"】

【Sapphire: "Eh? Isn't it forbidden for witches to appear in this world? Also, Mami-senpai, be careful that this thing called Bebe doesn't bite your head off!"】

【Mami Tomoe: "... Hahahaha, I... shouldn't think so."】

【Deadpool: "I'm starting to wonder if I've inhaled too much."】

【Miki Sayaka: "Really... can't we avoid Hitomi and Kyousuke anywhere!!"】

【Kirishima Touka: "Under the Law of Cycles, witches turned into Nightmares, and Nightmares are transformed from various human emotions. This is the enemy of magical girls."】

Kumo Desu World

"Ugh, don't tell me it's another love-brain plot!", the spider girl shuddered.

【

Kyoko and Sayaka, who arrived first, saw the strange Nightmare that looked like a frog.

"I'm asking, is that Shizuki Hitomi's Nightmare?", Kyoko asked.

"Hitomi isn't easy either, who told her to date that dense man," Sayaka said helplessly.

"Ah! The weight of that coming from your mouth is really different," Kyoko was shocked.

Just then, Mami Tomoe, Madoka, and Kyoko had also arrived.

After transforming into magical girls, the group immediately launched a crusade against Hitomi's Nightmare!

With their tacit cooperation, the Nightmare was imprisoned on a round table, and Bebe's doll also transformed into a doll with a pitch-black giant mouth, surrounding them.

Homura, who had seen Bebe for the first time, had her face turn black with fear. That abyss-like giant mouth... she always felt it had inexplicable malice toward Mami-senpai.

Finally, Bebe descended from the sky and ate the cake the Nightmare had turned into in one bite. The Nightmare that Hitomi had turned into was also purified, and the girl fell into a peaceful sleep.

And the magical girls who defeated the Nightmare celebrated with each other. Homura was also infected by the happy atmosphere of the group, but...

Looking at everything around her, a trace of confusion suddenly appeared in Homura's heart.

The water lilies in the lotus pond covered the water surface densely, and the figures of the group were reflected in it.

At this moment, Akemi Homura suddenly felt unprecedented loneliness and absurdity.

Our battle... is it really okay like this?

Fate World

Ryudou Temple

A Buddha put his hands together, his calm eyes looking at the water lilies on the screen, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Foolish child."

But isn't this also a trial for the savior?

The Awakened One lowered his eyes as if falling into a deep sleep.

"Tsk tsk, water lilies? Doesn't this really make people think too much?", the handsome blonde Tezcatlipoca with the art style of the last century laughed.

In Greek mythology, there is a River of Forgetfulness in the Underworld, where water lilies grow; drinking the water causes one to lose their memory.

In Egyptian mythology, the water lily symbolizes the origin of the world, as well as regeneration and resurrection.

"It must be a coincidence~", Tezcatlipoca grinned.

Toaru World

Academy City

"The flower language of white water lilies... purity, aloofness, innocence, untainted."

"Love that is out of reach...", Saten Ruiko looked at the confused Homura on the screen with some sadness.

Is it really reality? If it is reality, please let it continue like this forever.

【

The subtle absurdity made the girl feel increasingly uneasy in her heart.

Are everyone really real?

Except for Madoka and the others, the faces of the classmates and teachers in her life were covered with a veil, and she couldn't see their faces clearly...

Although such a life was beautiful, Homura always felt inexplicably illusory... and confused in her heart.

What exactly is her purpose?

This day, Homura approached Kyoko. "Sakura-san, don't you think it's a bit strange lately?"

"Huh? What are you referring to?", Kyoko felt puzzled by this.

"It's just... everything is very strange." The reason Homura found Kyoko first was because Kyoko gave her the strangest feeling.

"Sakura-san, when did you come to Mitakihara Middle School?", Homura asked.

"Ah, I transferred here earlier than you. When was it... when was it?", Kyoko couldn't remember either.

She only remembered that after the peace in Kazamino next door, she came here to help Mami, and she had no intention of going back until now.

".....", time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The table for two was suddenly filled with eight cups, the wind chimes rang softly, and Homura looked at the rippling coffee and requested, "Sakura-san, can you go to Kazamino City with me now?"

"Huh?!"
