"Why do you guys always bring back something every time you fight?"
Fangzheng sighed helplessly as he looked at Blackie.
"Last time, Naiya brought back one. This time, you brought back two …."
"Hahaha …."
Blackie revealed a cheeky smile in response to Fangzheng's complaints and made an embarrassed gesture.
"I was just a little too excited …. But I've activated the boundary, so it didn't cause any damage to the surroundings, right?"
"If you didn't activate the boundary, I would have asked Sakura and Ilya to pull you back."
Fangzheng rolled his eyes helplessly. He turned around and looked at the curly-haired girl and the black-haired girl who were standing not far away. The latter had come over after Blackie defeated the curly-haired girl.
"Well, since you're here, I might as well be frank."
Fangzheng walked up to the two and looked at them.
"I'm Fangzheng, the ruler of the Tendo Temple. Can you tell me your names?"
"…."
The two were silent for a moment when they heard Fangzheng's question. Then, the black-haired girl spoke first.
"Xiao Meiyan."
After that, the curly-haired girl also gave her answer.
"Ba Asami."
"You're both Takihara's students, right? Don't worry, I just have something to ask that guy called QB …. Sakura, bring him here."
"Yes, Sensei."
Sakura nodded and manipulated Wind to bring QB to Fangzheng. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the strange creature that looked like a rabbit and a cat. At the same time, QB also tilted his head and looked at him curiously.
"So you're looking for me? What a surprise, there's actually a male who can see me. "
Unexpectedly, the strange white creature did not move its mouth, but its voice suddenly appeared in Fangzheng's ears.
"I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer them truthfully."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, QB lay down like a cat and rubbed his hind legs against the ground.
"What do you want?"
"I only have three questions."
As he spoke, Fangzheng extended a finger.
"First question, did you sign a contract with the girls and turn them into magical girls?"
"Of course."
The QB nodded.
"I've fulfilled their wishes. In exchange, they'll fight as magical girls. That's a reasonable deal, right?"
"Second question."
Fangzheng didn't seem to care about what the QB said. He raised another finger.
"When you signed the contract, did you tell the contestant the truth about becoming a magical girl? Including the fact that their souls were placed in soul gems, and their original bodies were just shells …? If not, then why didn't you tell them? "
"Eh?!"
Ba Asami's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. She looked at the QB in surprise. The QB was silent for a moment, then wagged his tail.
"Because they didn't ask. I've confirmed whether they want to become magical girls or not. Since they agreed, they should have thought about the consequences. After all, I'll fulfill any of their wishes. You can imagine that they should understand that they have to pay a corresponding price to fulfill their wishes. "
"Hmph."
Xiao Meiyan snorted coldly and turned her head away. Her displeasure towards the QB was obvious. Fangzheng just glanced at her, then looked at the QB again.
"Then the last question. How did the Witch … come to be?"
"The Witch is born in despair …."
"Don't try to fool me with this kind of childish rhetoric. I'm talking about the Witch herself. What is she made from? Specifically, from the material plane."
"…."
This time, the QB was silent for a moment before answering.
"The Witch … is transformed from a magical girl."
"Eh?!"
Not only Naiya, Ilya, and Xiao Ying were dumbfounded, but Ba Asami also showed an expression of disbelief as if she was struck by lightning.
"Magical girls … will become Witches?"
"Of course."
After explaining everything, the QB seemed to have relaxed. He shook his head and wagged his tail, showing a relaxed expression.
"When the contamination of a magical girl's soul gem reaches its limit, the magical girl will turn from hope to despair, and she will become a Witch. And that's why the Witch exists …. "
"Wait, wait!"
At that moment, Ba Asami suddenly screamed and interrupted the QB's explanation. She stared at the QB with an expression of disbelief.
"So, so you're saying … all the Witches I've defeated so far, they're all …."
"That's right, all of them were once magical girls, Ba Asami."
The QB looked at Ba Asami. His tone did not change at all.
"And you, sooner or later, will also transform into a witch, and then be hunted by other magical girls."
"Ah … Ah …."
Hearing until here, Ba Amami's face turned pale. She couldn't help but step back. She shook her head desperately as if denying something.
"No, no, it's not like that! You're lying, you're lying, aren't you!? "
"Haa …."
However, in the face of Ba Asami's tearful interrogation, the QB only sighed.
"You humans have always been like this. I really don't understand. Why would you feel angry and sad for an existence that's no longer your own and is endangering you? Even if she used to be a sorceress, she was only a sorceress driven by despair now. Besides, so what if she became a sorceress one day? Haven't humans known from the moment they were born that they'll die one day? "
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
At this moment, Ba Asami shrieked hysterically. Then, she pulled out a gun from thin air and pulled the trigger at QB with all her might.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following the gunshots, the white-furred animal standing in front of everyone was instantly shredded into pieces. Bullets rotated and tore through the QB's flesh and penetrated his soft, cotton-like body. The fur and muscles inside were crushed to pieces. The skull cracked, twisted, and the blood-red eyeball burst out. It fell to the ground and turned into a pool of strawberry-like blood.
"Haa … Haa … Haa …"
After some time, Ba Asami finally stopped. She looked around in horror and shook her head desperately.
"No, this isn't true, this isn't, this isn't, I'm a magical girl, I'm not a Witch, I won't become a Witch, hahaha …&… hahahaha …"
As she spoke, Ba Asami took out another gun and aimed it at the hair ornament on her head. However, just as she was about to pull the trigger, Ba Asami's entire body suddenly trembled, then she fainted and fell to the ground, motionless.
"Phew … That really scared me."
Xiao Hei, who had appeared behind Ba Asami, shook his hand and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That was scary. I didn't expect her to go crazy like this …"
"It's no wonder. After all, after hearing that kind of news … I think I have an idea now."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at Xiao Meiyan, who had been standing quietly at the side.
"It seems like you already knew about this?"
"Of course."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Xiao Meiyan nodded. She looked at Ba Asami with sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
"After all, this isn't the first time I've experienced this."
