In a certain past loop, after Mami Tomoe learned that Magical Girls would become Witches, she shattered Kyoko Sakura's soul gem and bound Homura Akemi with ribbons. At that time, she said with tears in her eyes, a very dramatic statement: "If we can't stop the Soul Nucleus from giving birth to Witches, then isn't the only option to die?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit heavy. Only Chitose Yuma was still enjoying her meal. The gluttonous Kyoko Sakura, seeing the delicious food, had no desire to eat, which was truly a miracle.
"So, this is what you wanted to say, isn't it? I'll believe for now that Magical Girls can turn into Witches. The reason that so-called Oriko Mikami had people kill Magical Girls was to prevent the appearance of that irresistible Witch. So why are you here looking for me? Couldn't you just go and deal with her directly?"
Given that she knew the other party's name, Yoshino should have easily found information about her. Although she didn't understand Yoshino's strength, Kyubey had once reminded her that Yoshino's strength was very powerful, so she should be capable of facing the other party independently.
But Yoshino shook her head. If she could really find her, she wouldn't have come to Kyoko Sakura.
"The person Oriko Mikami foresaw would become the strongest Witch to destroy Mitakihara is my friend, Madoka Kaname. This is her photo." She took out a photo from her person and handed it to Kyoko Sakura. Kyoko Sakura looked at Madoka Kaname in the photo with a puzzled expression. She didn't feel anything strange about this girl; she was just a very ordinary girl.
"Her potential is very strong. Kyubey really wants her to become a Magical Girl. Because if she becomes a Magical Girl, she will become the strongest Magical Girl, but at the same time, she will also become the strongest Witch. This is likely the scene Oriko Mikami foresaw."
Kriemhild Gretchen is Madoka Kaname when she becomes a Witch. Because of Homura Akemi's infinite loops, her potential grows stronger and stronger. She is the Witch of Salvation and Hope, appearing with clothes that plead for hope. Her magic quality surpasses the physical world, making her the strongest among Witches.
"But I don't agree with this! To save others, you have to kill Madoka? This is a joke! The current Madoka hasn't become a Witch yet, but she wants to kill her before she becomes one. What kind of sense does that make? She hasn't done anything, so why does she have to face such a fate?"
"To achieve this goal, how many innocent Magical Girls has she killed? They also became Magical Girls for hope and because they were deceived by Kyubey. And what right does she have to decide this matter? She's not some savior."
"So I hope you can help me, help me stop Oriko Mikami and them from killing Madoka. I have a hunch that they might make a big move soon. The Jet Black Magical Girl also tried to kill me, but I severely wounded her. I originally thought she would be quiet for a few days, but she immediately went back to killing Magical Girls."
"Now she has discovered Madoka's whereabouts, and I'm afraid something unexpected might happen. So I need your strength, Kyoko. Let's fight side by side!" Yoshino stood up and said.
"Fighting side by side? It's been a long time since I heard that phrase." Her pupils widened slightly. Yoshino's words reminded her of what happened during the period when she first became a Magical Girl.
Back then, she was still a gentle girl. When she became a Magical Girl, she had contact with Mami Tomoe, and they spent some time together. It should have been a very happy time, but after her father discovered her identity as a Magical Girl, everything changed.
'Sure enough, she still cares about that matter.' Looking at the change in Kyoko Sakura's expression, Yoshino knew she was thinking about what had happened in the past.
Because she believed that using magic for others would cause misfortune to them, after causing a family tragedy due to her own actions, she swore to only use magic for herself. Because if she only used magic for herself, then she alone would have to bear the misfortune she caused.
"I understand, I'll help." After thinking for a moment, Kyoko Sakura nodded. She had already planned to go to Mitakihara anyway, so she might as well help her deal with the Magical Girl killer.
"Hah, ah~ Thank you so much, Kyoko!"
"Yahahaha~ Don't thank me, just give me a satisfactory reward after the matter is over." She waved her hand, indicating that Yoshino didn't need to apologize.
"Going to Mitakihara… I'll see her again, Mami." Looking at the drink in front of her, Kyoko Sakura's mind conjured up scenes of fighting side-by-side with Mami Tomoe in the past. She wondered how that lonely person was doing now.
"Yahahaha~ Kyoko Sakura, you know Mami Tomoe, right? Did you know? Yesterday, Mami Tomoe almost died at the hands of a Witch~ Ah, no, it should be 'in the mouth.' After all, she was almost eaten." Thinking of Mami Tomoe, who almost achieved the headless senpai achievement, Yoshinon couldn't help but want to laugh. Of course, this wasn't malicious; she just couldn't quite control her emotions.
"What? Mami Tomoe almost died? That's impossible, how could someone so strong lose to a Witch?" Although she didn't want to admit it, Mami Tomoe's strength was above hers; this was something she had understood a long time ago. Even now, she wasn't sure if she could defeat Mami Tomoe. Could that person really lose?
Then Yoshinon explained to Kyoko Sakura what happened yesterday. After hearing that Mami Tomoe almost had her head bitten off by a Witch, Chitose Yuma, who was nearby, fearfully touched her own head, sighing in relief after feeling that her head was still firmly in place.
During their conversation, the relationship between the three slowly grew closer. Finally, under Yoshino's semi-forced invitation, Kyoko Sakura walked towards Mami Tomoe's house.
