Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Even so, we still need to have a backup plan. This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with your success or failure.

What are you planning to do? Where are you going?

"It's none of your business. Just focus on your own things." Medine turned her head and looked at Mami with those dead-looking eyes.

Mami's eyes were also cloudy and unfocused, but they were far inferior to Medien's lifeless eyes.

Medion looked at her, slowly stood up, and extended his right hand to her.

“Then shall we part ways here, sister?” she said.

Mami took Medine's hand.

"I wish you all the best, madam," Mami said, "for the world's rebirth."

"For the world's rebirth."

The song ends, the rebirth is celebrated.

This is the ultimate doctrine of the sect they believe in.

Medion turned his head and yanked off the tattered cloth covering the statue.

Dust flew everywhere, and the statue that had been covered by tattered cloth was finally brought back to light.

And the face of that statue...

================

Xiangzi opened his eyes.

The watch ticked away; it was the alarm she had set.

She yawned and got out of bed.

As she stepped out of the container, the sun was just rising in the west; from inside, facing east, she couldn't see it.

Xiangzi stretched and enjoyed the cool morning breeze.

“We’ve finally arrived.” She put her hands on her hips, gazing at the waves receding into the sea. “The day we invaded the art museum.”

The Tale of Reincarnation: The Forgotten Shore: Chapter 523 Returning to the Art Museum

Early in the morning, Xiangzi stepped out of the shipping container and stretched towards the sea. She turned back, looking at the two containers she had lived in for several days, and felt a little reluctant to leave.

At this moment, Mu also came out of the container, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and walked to Xiangzi's side.

"What's wrong?" she asked, noticing Xiangzi's melancholy expression.

"No, it's just a feeling..."

Xiangzi pursed his lips.

"These lonely days are about to end. I feel a sense of relief that they are finally over, but I also feel a little reluctant to let them go."

lonely.

During her few days on the other side of the river, Xiangzi's strongest feeling was loneliness. Even when surrounded by many other people, she still felt this way.

Because it wasn't just one person's loneliness, but the loneliness of a group of people.

Over the course of several days, Xiangzi had practically explored the entire surrounding area, and many people must have seen her behaving strangely. She could feel the strange looks they gave her, much like the feeling one gets when they learn that magical girls are no longer the same kind of beings as humans. She sensed that the world of the other side was an incredibly lonely and silent place.

The shipping containers were like small boats carrying them; while everyone else was going downstream, they were going upstream.

I'm very tired, uncomfortable, and feel a sense of isolation from the world.

This is what she meant by loneliness.

But today she'll say goodbye to this loneliness, whether it's temporary or permanent. She'll finally stop spending her days in this dilapidated little shipping container, listening to reversed white noise, and lying on a bare wooden bed.

The most unbearable thing is the reversed white noise.

Ocean waves are white noise, birdsong is white noise, even the occasional ship horn in the distance is white noise. Listening to these sounds before bed is surprisingly good for sleep. But when all these sounds are presented in reverse, they become pure torture.

But why am I reluctant to leave? I shouldn't have any attachment to the world on the other side.

She tilted her head, puzzled.

However, when Xiangzi turned his head and inadvertently saw Mu sitting quietly beside him, looking at the sea with him, and Mu, who had somehow come out of the container and was now sitting side by side on the edge of the container below, Xiangzi finally understood.

It turns out that what she was reluctant to leave behind was not the world on the other side, but the short but comfortable and peaceful life she had spent with everyone.

It was a short time, only a few days.

But Xiangzi hadn't felt so relaxed in a very long time, so relaxed that she was starting to feel a little reluctant to let this period of time go by.

With a cool sea breeze blowing, Xiangzi felt that it was about time. It would take quite a while to get back to the city center from here, not to mention that he still had to go to the art museum.

After telling everyone to pack their things and not to forget anything, the girls on the other side of the river officially embarked on their journey back to this side.

"By the way, are we walking or taking a car?" Kyoko suddenly asked as they walked.

“You can walk if you want.” Xiangzi calculated the time with his fingers. “If you run there now, you should still make it in time, um, you should.”

"Hey, you should have just said you'd take a car earlier," Xingzi pouted.

“We’re from the other side, right? How are we supposed to get a ride like this?” Xiaoyuan looked at the dockworkers nearby, who were walking backwards from them, and felt uncomfortable as their gazes pierced her like lasers. “So… just like this… get on a ride openly and honestly?”

"Of course not possible."

Xiangzi stopped in front of the station sign and shrugged.

Just then, a bus traveling from the city center to Kamihama Port stopped in front of them—of course, it was driving backwards. To them, this bus was actually traveling from Kamihama Port to the city center.

“We still have Xiaoyan,” Xiangzi said. “As long as we get on the bus quietly, no one will notice anything unusual about us.”

As soon as Xiangzi finished speaking, Mu released the silk thread, connecting it to Yan's body, and then using Yan as the center to connect everyone together.

Her silk threads can achieve the exact same effect as Mami's ribbons.

Flame blinked, thinking to herself that this was actually possible, and then activated the small round shield in her hand.

Government Agency Exhibition —

click!

The mechanism of the small round shield let out a painful howl, and Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

She remembered that Mami had inserted a bullet into the mechanism to prevent her from using time stop, thus jamming the mechanism of the small round shield and preventing her from easily activating time stop again.

Cold sweat trickled down Yan's forehead.

She took off the small round shield from her arm, found an angle, and looked inside, trying to find the bullet stuck between the mechanisms.

Unfortunately, the bullet disappeared—not that it vanished, but rather that it transformed back into ribbons, which were embedded within the mechanism of the small round shield, securing it tightly and preventing it from moving freely.

In other words, her time stop... is temporarily unusable.

"I'm sorry, senior, for not discovering this sooner." Yan lowered her head dejectedly.

"It's alright, it's alright, we can take our time on the train, it's nothing," Xiangzi reassured him.

“The bus is about to leave, what do we do now?” Sayaka said, pointing to the bus next to her.

"There's no other way but to imitate the people on this side and walk backwards." Xiangzi sighed and emphasized, "Remember to pay when you get off the bus."

So the bus driver saw six young and beautiful girls wearing strange masks, as if they were doing performance art, slowly and with great difficulty getting off the bus, as if they had some kind of illness.

He remembered that the girls seemed to have gotten on the bus in the same way.

It's a pity that he's become involved in abstract performance art at such a young age; there's no hope for him.

The driver sighed and started the car.

===============

After paying the money, Xiangzi got off the bus as if he were a normal person and immediately ran towards the art museum.

As the art museum came into view, she could already hear the sounds of battles playing in reverse coming from inside.

The ordinary people around had long since evacuated, and Xiangzi could still see several tourists running backwards with them towards the art museum on the road.

My battle with Mami should have already begun. I hope I won't encounter Mami going against the grain on the way.

Xiangzi took out the protective suit given to him by Ma Mi, removed the gas mask, handed it to Mu, and at the same time placed the cube on his chest to activate it.

In a flash, she transformed into a completely black figure.

“You wait here for my signal. Once I say it’s okay, you can go in.” Xiangzi patted Mu on the shoulder. “Mu, you have to lead them and make sure they don’t get lost.”

Mu nodded.

Xiangzi patted her shoulder reassuringly, grabbed his gun, and rushed toward the art museum.

at this time.

An attraction suddenly surged from beside her, disrupting her balance.

"Eh?!"

Xiangzi's feet left the ground, and he flew towards the art museum.

They arrived so quickly?!

The Tale of Reincarnation: The Shore of Oblivion: Chapter 524 Attend a Class Properly

Xiangzi was suddenly sucked into the art museum by a strong suction force. The shattered glass became whole as he flew into the museum.

He was dazed and fell to the ground. Xiangzi felt as if he had been held down by someone in the midst of the chaos, his neck stuck at a very uncomfortable angle.

Xiangzi barely opened his eyes and saw himself with his knee pressed against his chest and an M1911 rifle pressed against his head...

"Ah, I knew it would turn out like this!" Xiangzi shouted angrily.

To her own ears on this side of the river, her voice sounded like a jumble of meaningless noise.

Xiangzi looked at his own angry self through the protective suit and twitched the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for Maya giving me this protective suit, I would have been reduced to dust back on the train, let alone now.

"What is the use of this female demon messenger?"

On this side, Xiangzi pushed the broken hammer back, attempting to interrogate a person from the other side in this way.

"!? Who are you?"

For some reason, Xiangzi felt that he was kind of adorably stupid at that moment.

But at that time, the Soul Gem was still intact, but at his peak, trying to fight her in this body was truly...

Hey——!

Originally, Xiangzi was completely suppressed and had no way to resist. Suddenly, his other self threw him aside, and then the scarlet spear slashed across his waist, leaving a small cut on the tip of the blade.

Xiangzi clutched his waist, his hands stained with blood from the liquid secreted by his protective suit.

The wound wasn't deep, but the bleeding was considerable; it seemed like this blood was inevitable.

Xiangzi leaned back, avoiding the attack from his own side.

Having already gained a lot of experience fighting against people on the other side, it was incredibly easy for Xiangzi to deal with his still somewhat naive self when facing people on the other side. Apart from accidentally giving him a minor cut on the first hit, his self on this side was unable to touch her again, and the distance between them gradually increased without him even realizing it.

Until—Xiangzi on this side pulled out a rocket launcher.

"..."

Xiangzi's eyes twitched a few times.

It's coming—the kind of overwhelming firepower I used to love, the kind that leaves others breathless.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the stones scattered on the ground begin to move. Xiangzi immediately rolled forward to avoid the reverse explosion.

The pit on the ground was restored to its original state, but Xiangzi just happened to land on another pit. As her feet touched the ground, the scattered stones around this pit also started to move.

"Tsk!"

Fighting yourself, especially fighting yourself at your peak, is really not a good feeling! The way you calculate exactly where every step you take will land, and then apply firepower to apply pressure until the opponent makes a forced mistake, is exactly the same feeling as when I first met Mami Tomoe.

They force you to play rock-paper-scissors, they force you to make mistakes.
