Chapter 33 Bad Taste

London is known as the fog city, and its characteristic of changing weather is an issue that cannot be ignored in summer. Intermittent rainfall increases moisture, coupled with the increasingly obvious wind burning phenomenon and summer heat waves, it can create amazing temperatures.

But today is different, it is a good weather without a cloud.

Although the weather in this city changes every four hours, there are many pedestrians carrying umbrellas on the road, at least for now, the weather is quite sunny now.

Four girls, Kirino Takasaka, Ayase Aragaki, Konata and Saori, are on the shopping street not far from St. George's Cathedral.

They sat in a circle on the table outside a dessert shop, everyone was silent, just staring at the center of the table with strange eyes.

There was an unprecedented wonder creature with dazzling white and bright red eyes, holding a sundae with two front feet, enjoying herself.

——It's like a lazy kitten in the sun.

In the mornings of London's Lambers District, there is a world-famous noise, but around it, the sounds seem to be depressed and filtered.

The girls all felt that they were clearly in the prosperous commercial street, but they were like being in a solemn temple where noise would never be allowed to appear.

Not only did all the troubles around it seem like the silence button was pressed, but even the morning sunlight made people tremble. It seemed that the dust in the air became quiet unconsciously, and the restless air became leisurely and peaceful.

This is an "abnormal" in the absolute sense, and it is definitely not a reality that can be denied.

Even Kirino Takasaka didn't dare to say that this was a reality show. There was no backstage around her, and she didn't know any technology that could create such a stage effect.

This is simply an almost incredible magical phenomenon.

Therefore, they also don’t think that it was because they were special and others that led to the occurrence of such a phenomenon. Then there is no doubt that the wonderful white creature on the table is the wonderful white creature.

It is said to be unprecedented, but not entirely because they have not seen creatures like Cupi in reality, but they have watched the work "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".

Even Aragaki Ayase, who is extremely disgusted with the otaku and has a great prejudice to the otaku culture, has heard of Cupi's reputation. Moreover, along the way, others have basically explained to her what kind of thing it is.

Therefore, she was very alert and somewhat nervous to stare at the white creature on the table.

Judging from this posture, it seems that as long as the cute little thing who looks harmless, dares to say "Sign up a contract with me and become a magical girl", she will immediately get excited and hurt people.

For example, the sundae in her hand seemed to be about to melt completely, but she was not ready to eat it.

Looking at the appearance of this beautiful girl with long black hair and slim figure, it seems that she is simply using the cup in her hand as a weapon - perhaps because of the petite figure of the white creature, it gave her some inexplicable illusion and self-confidence?

“…”

“…”

Silenced, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen. The four girls all had strange eyes and were obviously thinking about something.

Not only was he inexplicably brought to this world, but he also had a notorious existence like Cupi. The most important thing was what Black Cat said before - it seemed that his good friend had a big secret.

Not only did she know Cupi long ago, she was also completely unsuspecting to such things, and she looked like she had been accustomed to it and was commonplace.

So, she is really not a magical girl? She usually uses the image of a home girl to disguise herself, but in the dark world that ordinary people cannot see, she is fighting against destruction and sighs?

Perhaps in this world, there is a "witch" who spreads disasters.

Therefore, the existence of the "magic girl" who fought with the "witch" was also born.

But if Cupids appeared, these are not impossible, and the magic girl may really be at the cost of her wishes - she has always guarded the existence of this world where people don't know.

They also know that sacrifices are sometimes necessary to realize their dreams.

However, before deciding to realize it, they should know what sacrifice they have to make. Only when they look back can they find that something has been taken away at the cost of their dreams - this kind of thing is too much for them to accept.

I don't know when I will be eaten by the witch, in a dangerous place - no companions are alone, fighting every night.

Although they were thinking about it without any basis, it is undeniable that whenever they think of this, Kirino Takasaka and others felt that their heart could not be beaten.

They can only be like broken dolls, just stunned and constantly thinking about things. The more they think about things, the more they feel worried and afraid.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I don’t know how long it had passed. The sun should have risen a little higher than the previous position.

As if he could finally bear the long silence, Takasaka Kirino whispered: "That, I want to ask..."

"Well, I know what you're feeling."

Hearing the calm voice interrupted, the girl with long brown hair couldn't help but look up - she saw Cupi sitting directly in front of her.

The wonderful white creature who seemed to be swallowing the last bite of ice cream happily said, "It's so great, you finally understand... how persistent the little black cat's determination is."

“…”

“…”

Having said that, it seems to be... admitting that their guess is correct?

What black cats have been hiding from them is such a cruel fact?

"Your reaction is really unreasonable. If you think such a thing is cruel, it is because you have no idea what the essence is. No matter what kind of hope is, as long as there is something contrary to the system, it will inevitably bring some distortion."

The white creature shook its light long tail and looked at Kirino Takasaka and continued calmly.

"Then it is natural to cause harm soon. If this natural ending is called betrayal, then hope this kind of thing itself is wrong."

“…”

“…”

Kirino Takasaka didn't know what to say, and the others were the same. After all, no matter what they said, this was really too surreal.

Their psychological qualities are already quite good if they can accept reality in such a short time. Of course, they cannot be like Lu Meiyuan, after realizing the cruel things, and excitedly want to argue with Cupi about right and wrong.

"...This kind of thing is too cruel..." Only Kirino Takasaka seemed to be unable to help but whisper.

"But-I won't say this is stupid." The white creature replied, sighing exaggeratedly, "It's not us who betrayed her. It's her own wish."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but grit their teeth tightly.

Is this because I was shocked by the Black Cat's determination? Or is it because I only know the truth of the world now and I guess randomly, and I feel scared by the witch's horror?

Or, it was because of simple sadness - even Kirino Takasaka himself felt that he could not tell.

The realm line between reality and fantasy seems to be confused again and again in just half an hour, and eventually becomes completely fragmented. Things that originally thought were just pure fantasy works appeared truly.

According to the settings revealed in that fantasy work, the cute little white thing in front of you is a monster that symbolizes ominousness and despair.

If you make a contract with them and become a magic girl, you will never have a good ending.

Once you become a magical girl, there is no hope of redemption... that contract is to give up everything else in exchange for the only hope.

——That is, to make a wish, but with the destined despair, such future cause and effect as the price of exchange.

Although Black Cat said in advance that this guy is not Cupi and she is not a magical girl, the vaccination thus obtained obviously did not play any role.

The girls subconsciously applied the settings in "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" and used the rules to guess the current situation of the Black Cat.

This is a fixed mindset.

Just like when people see zombies, they will subconsciously believe that they "should" be slow to move, rotten body, contagiousness of viruses, and fondness of living people... and so on, etc.

So when you see Cupi, you will subconsciously think of the magic girl and the desperate contract. This is the same.

Such things made them feel confused and they had no way to think "rationally". So no one believed the brief explanation of Wu Geng Liuli before, and felt that she was comforting herself and others.

Perhaps at this time, there are still many of them who can remember the simple explanation of Black Cat just now, but they can't say it.

It is precisely because of their confusion in their minds that, as delicate girls, they might find that the words and conversations of the wonderful white creatures that look like Cupid would make them feel a little bit déjà.

But the most important thing now is-

As good friends of the past, they keenly realized that Wu Geng Liuli seemed to have gone to another world completely different from them...

This is hopeless loneliness.

But at this moment, the white monster had already spoken again, and the calm voice was filled with some magical intrigue:

"Do you want to help her? The little black cat has been in a difficult situation recently. If you continue like this, you may not be able to hold on... It is impossible for her to fight alone."

"She needs companions who can fight side by side and share pressure and secrets, but just so happens that you all have such qualifications... How about it, do you think about it? As long as it is a wish, most of them can achieve it..."

The cold voice of the black cat sounded from the side and said to the point of being—

"Oh, is that so? You can still realize your wish, why don't I know? I thought you could only help you realize your wish."

Then she turned around and looked at her friends, frowned: "I said, don't think about it... It's not Cupi, nor am I a magic girl..."

"Tsk! Why did you come back so quickly? Have you agreed?"

The prank of enthusiasm was interrupted, and "Cuppy"'s incredible face showed a very humane expression of dissatisfaction.

It stopped the bad behavior of bewitching the girl from signing a contract, turned around and looked at Wujiuli, who was back at some point.

There was a girl standing beside the other party.

A girl who looked only about eighteen years old in a simple beige monastic uniform stood there calmly, with a smile of affinity on her face.

“…”

“…”

Hearing the white creature's question, the black cat turned around and seemed to suddenly switch from the angry and cold state just now to a mood without much confidence.
