"Mukuro, what did you come to see me for?" Fujino looked with a puzzled face at Mukuro, who was cautiously closing the door. What exactly was she trying to do? She still wanted to take photos of Little Kurumi.
"Wait," Mukuro said as she looked back. She poked her head out the door to confirm no one was outside before closing the door and locking it.
"Mukuro?"
Fujino suddenly felt a bit nervous. What was going on? Closing the door was one thing, but why lock it?!
Wait, could it be that Mukuro's 'time' has come, and she wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with me?
That's right, Mukuro has reached that age.
Wait again, it seems a bit too early!?
Mukuro turned back and, seeing Fujino's somewhat strange expression, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Fujino, what's wrong?"
"No... it's nothing," Fujino quickly replied, then asked Mukuro again, "Mukuro, what did you come to see me for?"
"That..."
Mukuro suddenly lowered her head in embarrassment, her two index fingers pressing together.
"Mukuro?"
Seeing Mukuro like this, Fujino was also puzzled. Why was she suddenly so embarrassed?
Just as Fujino was about to ask Mukuro what was going on, Mukuro looked up, her eyes filled with brilliant light, and asked with excitement, "Big Sister Fujino, are you a Magical Girl!"
Nani? What on earth is a Magical Girl!?
Looking at Fujino's confused expression, Mukuro tilted her head in doubt: "Is Big Sister Fujino not a Magical Girl? You clearly disappeared with a 'bi' just now, and then came back with a 'bi-bi'."
"You think Magical Girls just go around 'bi-bi'-ing?" Fujino retorted.
"Eh? Is it not like that?" Mukuro was even more confused. She said to Fujino, "Aren't the Magical Girls on TV all like that?"
"I almost forgot that the animation in this world is simply trash." Fujino covered her face helplessly, then walked to Mukuro, bent down, and placed her hands on Mukuro's shoulders, saying seriously, "Mukuro, I'm sorry. It's my sister's fault for letting you watch those animations with no substance. Don't worry, today I'll have 2B talk to the people over there to produce Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I'll let the other children who, like you, have been poisoned by these substance-less Magical Girl animations feel what a true Magical Girl is!"
As she spoke, a brilliant light bloomed behind Fujino. The Holy Light, which hadn't been used for a long time, made another appearance.
Under the deception of the Holy Light—pfft! Under its radiance, Mukuro nodded solemnly and said to Fujino, "Big Sister Fujino, you are so great!"
Hearing this, Fujino suddenly felt a slight pain in her heart. Although she no longer had such a thing as a heart, was it really okay to fool Mukuro like this?
Thinking about it, after Mukuro watches the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime in the future, would she break down and turn Yandere, then just pick up a knife and start killing people?
Speaking of which, Mukuro originally seemed to have a bit of a Yandere attribute!
In the original story, Mukuro thought her sister no longer valued her, then was fooled by the original clone Phantom into becoming a Spirit. Finally, in a fit of chaos, she deleted the memories that the people around her had of her family, thinking that this way her sister could return to her side and be good only to her—though she still messed up and ended up sealing her own family's memories.
Does that count as Yandere!?
Fujino, who had never had contact with a truly Yandere woman, couldn't easily make a judgment.
But should Puella Magi Madoka Magica really be produced?
One must know that Puella Magi Madoka Magica had been heavily modified by Fujino. Without changing the overall storyline, Fujino had vividly elevated the emotional significance contained in the entire story by a large margin. Fujino was afraid that when it was broadcast, not to mention Mukuro's reaction, the fans would definitely go crazy.
But those fans wouldn't be able to find her anyway, so thinking about it that way made her feel much more at ease.
"What's wrong?" Fujino felt her clothes being pulled by someone. She looked down and saw Mukuro pulling at her clothes.
"Mukuro, is there anything else?"
"Big Sister Fujino, you still haven't said whether you are a Magical Girl or not." Mukuro was still fixated on this question.
"..." Fujino was silent for a short moment, then sighed and looked directly into Mukuro's eyes. "I originally wanted to wait a few years before telling you, but since you've asked, I'll be honest with you."
"Could it be..." Mukuro looked at Fujino. "Big Sister Fujino, are you really a Magical Girl?!"
"No!" Fujino gave Mukuro's head a hard flick. "I would never be a Magical Girl! However, I do know some Magical Girls—those are Magical Girls in every sense of the word."
"Really!" Hearing Fujino say she knew true Magical Girls, Mukuro excitedly let go of her head and asked eagerly, "Sister Fujino, which Magical Girls do you know!"
Seeing Mukuro so excited, Fujino couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, Mukuro, are you very interested in Magical Girls?"
"Not really," Mukuro shook her head. "I just really like the ability of Magical Girls to change their outfits when they transform."
"You actually like that point." Fujino was quite surprised, then on second thought, this was a good opportunity. It was the perfect time to give the Sephira Crystal to Mukuro. Since she'd been found out anyway, hiding it further wasn't the way.
Immediately, Fujino patted Mukuro's shoulder and smiled. "Mukuro, how about this? In a while—no, tonight—you come to my room, and I'll teach you how to use magic. Don't you like the outfit changing of Magical Girls? I have a profession here that's better than a Magical Girl, which can also change outfits and looks much better than a Magical Girl. What do you think, Mukuro?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true." Fujino smiled and rubbed Mukuro's head. "Just come find me tonight."
"Mm-hmm." Mukuro nodded vigorously.
"That's the way. Alright, let's go out. I still have to take photos of Little Kurumi."
"I want to take photos too."
"Okay, no problem."
In another world, a place of ruins, broken houses, abandoned land—the ground still bore bloodstains that had long since dried. Even the sky was not blue, but covered by dark clouds emitting an ominous aura.
Suddenly, a beam of light broke through the dark clouds in the sky, and a Touko like a meteor struck heavily upon this wasteland.
Accompanied by a deafening roar and sky-covering dust, the ruins were transformed into a giant crater by the meteor-like Touko, and everything around was destroyed by the shockwave.
"What a strange world. Hmm? Has a compatriot been here? Wait, is this aura Cthulhu? Isn't she staying by Fujino's side? Why would she come here? Wait! It's not just Cthulhu, but also His aura. This is quite interesting. Fujino will definitely be interested if she finds out."
The dust dispersed, revealing the being at the center. If Fujino were here right now, she would be very surprised, because the person standing in the giant crater was Nyarko, who had left earlier and had been unheard from since.
