"Want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"
Turning around, a cute white creature that looks like a rabbit but isn't a rabbit stands in front of her.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Kyubey~"
Kyubey licked its paw and asked Homura Akemi again, "My name is Kyubey. Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl, and you can have any wish come true."
Any wish—just these few words made Homura Akemi's heart beat faster. But vaguely, she felt something was wrong.
Does she have a wish? Of course, to keep herself healthy and not add pressure to her family. This is her simplest wish.
Besides this? She thought carefully, and except for this, she felt that she didn't have any other wishes, believing she could achieve anything through hard work. Although she had been playing with Yoshida Saki in the internet cafe during this period.
But through TT's public group, she learned that she could gain knowledge in the game and even bring out power and knowledge to transform into wealth. Whether material or spiritual, you can get it in this internet cafe. These things may be difficult to obtain, but there is definitely hope.
What is a wish? In Homura Akemi's understanding, a wish is something that she cannot obtain or a height that she cannot reach. But now she can get everything she can imagine and the knowledge she wants, so what else does she need?
Kyubey, who saw Homura Akemi's doubts, continued, "This world is not safe. Witches are wandering in the city and hurting people. Only by becoming a magical girl can you fight them. Sign a contract with me to become a magical girl and destroy these witches."
Kyubey changed its words to be more tempting. Homura Akemi's existence surprised it. It didn't understand why this girl had strong potential. If she could become a magical girl, then the most powerful magical girl in history would be born here.
The most powerful magical girl is also the most powerful witch. If Homura Akemi can become a witch, then the power that bursts out in an instant is enough for it to complete its mission.
As for what will happen to the earth after completing the mission, it has nothing to do with Kyubey. It is just an incubator that keeps moving to complete its mission.
"Magical girl?"
This word sounds beautiful, but Homura Akemi vaguely feels that something is wrong. Even in the internet cafe, it takes money, time, and experience to gain power and knowledge.
Although the effort and reward are not proportional, it is indeed an effort. But here with Kyubey, you can become a magical girl who fights witches by making a wish. So what is the price?
Her playmate in the internet cafe is Yoshida Saki. Both of them are students and have little experience. But whenever they have questions, they ask Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan can always give them the most accurate answers.
And Liu Yuan also said that whether in games or in life, they can tell him when they encounter difficulties. As a mature man, he can see a little further than them, the students, and give some reliable advice.
So, she contacted Liu Yuan.
At this time, Liu Yuan, who was taking a shower and preparing to go to bed, saw the message from Homura Akemi and his expression twisted.
"What the hell? Can you become a magical girl by making a wish? Can pie fall from the sky?"
Although the 4-D Space Internet Cafe seems to be very good to all customers, Liu Yuan's ultimate goal is to make money. Only with more money can he unlock more games and make himself happy.
The system also has it's own goals. It wants to be a cross-multiverss platform and become stronger and bigger than the main god next door.
For these goals, the things done may be beneficial for ordinary people, but Liu Yuan is very clear that if there are no goals, these benefits will not exist at all.
As a result, now Akemi Homura suddenly told him that there is a creature who wants to sign a contract with her to become a magical girl, and can also help her make any wish, and even save humanity? Then the question is, what is the price?
"Is it an anime for children?"
Liu Yuan shook his head. After hesitating for a while, he replied directly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there is a trap. The better the description, the more expensive it is. Just don't agree. Tell me what you want and I will help you choose a game."
"But boss, aren't you also fulfilling my wishes here?"
"But the problem is that I am eyeing your wallet. What about it? What is it eyeing? Money? Does this kind of creature lack money? If it's not money, what do you have? Body, soul. Fight? I'm not bragging! This kind of creature that can turn you into a magical girl should theoretically be able to defeat these monsters, so why does it want to turn you into a magical girl?"
This sentence made Homura Akemi feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. The logic was clear at this moment. It's easy to help deal with the witch, but as Liu Yuan said, if it can turn her into a magical girl, it proves that it has the power to deal with the witch directly.
"Wait?"
Liu Yuan's speech once again attracted Homura Akemi's attention: "Magical girl, and witch... there are two words missing in the middle. Why do I feel that there is something fishy? Could the witch be a former magical girl?"
Once this guess came out, Homura Akemi felt even colder. Looking at the cute creature in front of her, she suddenly remembered what her grandmother said to her when she was a child.
"Homura, you must be careful of pyramid schemes and cults when you grow up. These guys will disguise things as very beautiful, and when you take the bait, it's time for you to fall into the abyss."
Kyubey's words and guidance are so similar to pyramid schemes and cults. They all use beautiful things and righteousness as temptations, but who knows what the real situation is?
"Boss, what should I do?"
Seeing Homura Akemi's question, Liu Yuan thought about countermeasures. He didn't put himself in the shoes of Homura and didn't know what the specific situation was, but he could feel that this thing called Kyubey was not a good thing.
"Simple, you agree to fight the witch, but don't make a wish. Don't sign a contract with it anyway. If you have any questions, tell me or other reliable adults in the group. Don't act on your own."
"Understood!"
Liu Yuan is one of the few reliable adults that Homura Akemi knows. Whether it's guidance in the game or chatting in life, he has always been very reliable. This time she chose to believe Liu Yuan, who she had met and had in-depth communication with, and was wary of the temptation of this unknown creature.
"I can fight the witch, but I refuse to sign a contract with you."
"Ordinary humans can't defeat witches!"
"Who told you I'm an ordinary human?"
Homura Akemi smiled slightly. When she was wary of Kyubey, she found that Kyubey's words had a lot of problems, and she felt that Kyubey's behavior was also very problematic.
This needs to be investigated carefully. As for ordinary humans? Twelve hours ago, she was considered an ordinary human. But now...
Looking at the crafting table in her inventory, she knew that she was no longer an ordinary person.
