After Suzuya Yuriko left, Madoka Kaname and the others relaxed. Mami Tomoe, being a Magical Girl, was fine, but the ordinary Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki were not so lucky.
Because of the relaxation, both girls' bodies went limp as if all their strength had been drained, collapsing to the ground and greedily breathing in air. The oppressive feeling just now was too terrifying; that killing intent even made them hallucinate. That sweet, bloody killing intent was not something these young girls could endure.
"Who exactly was that guy!" Clinging to the floor, Sayaka Miki felt her heart rate exceeding two hundred beats per minute. Too much had happened today. First, a transfer student cosplaying chased down some unknown creature, then they inexplicably entered a strange place. Finally, the girl they thought was a rescuer turned out to be more dangerous than those strange creatures.
Then this Big Sister with an amazing figure appeared, what was going on!
Just as Madoka Kaname and the others were about to ask questions, Mami Tomoe turned and saw Homura Akemi standing there, she didn't know when she appeared. Because the dangerous Suzuya Yuriko had just appeared, she was extremely vigilant, but still maintained an elegant smile on her face.
"The witch has escaped. If you want to take care of her, please go after her quickly. I'll leave this to you this time."
"No, all I'm looking for are..."
"You really don't listen, do you? What I mean is, I'll let you off this time. Don't you think we should avoid unnecessary trouble like this?"
Mami Tomoe still maintained an elegant smile as she looked at Homura Akemi, though there was no amusement in her eyes. Having just been provoked by Suzuya Yuriko, she was still angry, but being gentle by nature, she didn't want to fight Homura Akemi.
"..." She gave Mami Tomoe a cold look. Although she had gone through numerous reincarnations and was no longer a novice, she could defeat Mami Tomoe if Mami Tomoe didn't know the nature of her magic. But once she knew, she couldn't win. A flash of sadness passed through her eyes as she looked at Mami Tomoe.
Then she turned and left, completely disappearing into the darkness.
'Now... it's not the time to tell Mami Tomoe everything. After a while, when Yoshino holds an important place in her heart, then I'll tell her the truth about Magical Girls. Just like in the last reincarnation, I hope I can save her. Madoka... Yoshino...'
To help Madoka Kaname understand the situation better, Mami Tomoe took the two to her luxurious apartment.
"Is this alright? Won't we be bothering Senior Mami?" Madoka Kaname asked, looking at Mami Tomoe fumbling for her keys.
They had just learned that Mami Tomoe was also a student at Mitakihara Municipal Middle School, but as Mami Tomoe was a third-year student, Madoka Kaname referred to her as 'Senior Mami'.
"It's fine, it's fine. Don't worry about it, this place is usually very quiet. You two also want to know what just happened, right? It'll be safer if I explain it to you at my home." After opening the door, Mami Tomoe sniffed, first looking surprised, then breaking into a wide smile as she smelled something.
"I'm home~" Suppressing the urge to cry, Mami Tomoe uttered words she hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Welcome home~" A soft voice responded. Any gentleman hearing this would know the owner of the voice must be a very cute Little Loli. Madoka Kaname and the other girl exchanged glances; they both felt the voice was very familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.
"You must be tired from patrol, Sister Mami. Your bath is ready. Would you like to bathe first, or eat first?" The sound of small footsteps approached, clearly indicating the person was hurrying over.
"Ahaha~ Shouldn't it also include 'or eat me first~'? This feels so naughty, like comforting a hardworking little wife. Could it be that she's already thinking of getting married?" Then a slightly sharp voice chimed in, its teasing tone making the Little Loli feel shy.
"Getting married or anything, Yoshinon, don't talk nonsense! I'm not thinking about such things at all. Besides, Sister Mami and I are both girls, how can girls get married?"
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as there's love! Even brothers are fine! Let alone same-sex! Don't you know? Same-sex love is the true way! Opposite-sex love is merely for reproduction! As long as there's love, there are no problems!"
"Don't say such strange things."
"...That's really... strange talk, Madoka." Wiping the cold sweat from her brow, Sayaka Miki, who had a long-standing crush on her childhood friend Kyosuke Kamijo, wondered if her affection for Kyosuke Kamijo was merely for reproduction after hearing this bizarre statement. What was this?
"Ah! So there are guests? What a surprise." The owner of the voice appeared before everyone. She was wearing a cute bunny scarf and holding a ladle, seemingly having been cooking. But upon seeing her true identity, Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki both widened their eyes.
"Yoshino (Classmate)!?"
"Oh no, Madoka. I didn't expect Senior Mami to secretly hide our class mascot at home and play a 'raising' game. If our classmates find out, Senior Mami will become our class enemy." Pulling Madoka Kaname's hand, Sayaka Miki 'whispered' to her. Though her voice was loud enough for everyone else to hear.
"'Raising' game or whatever... I don't remember you ever playing such strange games. But our classmates all like Classmate Shikino. If they knew Classmate Shikino was living at Senior Mami's house, it would indeed cause a huge commotion."
Although Yoshino had only transferred today, she was already a treasure to her classmates. Her good academic performance, pleasant personality, and gentle demeanor made her a class mascot. Some girls had even secretly taken several photos of Yoshino when she wasn't looking.
What? You ask me how I know this? Because Sayaka Miki had already obtained backup photos from them. Such a mascot, if enshrined in one's room, would surely bring good luck.
