Chapter 1747: Chapter 1173: Investigation
For Mugeng, this world is very strange. As a demon sealed for hundreds of years, Mugeng is like an ancient person arriving in the modern age. Although in terms of age, there shouldn’t be anyone older than Mugeng in this world, from the outside she appears to be just a teenage girl—or strictly speaking, even psychologically, she seems the sa.
That’s why Mugeng also needs to attend school to learn about the world’s common sense and general knowledge.
Though it was a bit uncomfortable at first, gradually Mugeng got used to this completely different way of life.
But…….
“Haa……”
Staring at the cell phone in front of her, Mugeng sighed silently, looking disheartened.
“What’s wrong, Mugeng?”
Seeing Mugeng like this, her classmate and friend leaned over curiously to look at Mugeng’s phone. Mugeng quickly put away the phone and smiled at the friend beside her.
“It’s nothing, I was just looking at my communication records……”
“What, was it a ssage from the boyfriend you ntioned? You two are quite lovey-dovey, aren’t you?”
Seeing Mugeng’s face turn red, the friend chuckled and nudged her, while another girl with glasses hurried over upon hearing the topic.
“Oh, oh, oh, I rember you two are living together, right? It must be lively every day……”
“Not really…… and besides……”
Mugeng sighed silently again.
“That person is very distant towards now, hardly replies to my ssages, and even if they do, it’s just a few random words……”
“Eh? How could that be? Mugeng is such a good girl, is there actually soone who dislikes her?”
Hearing Mugeng’s response, the two were taken aback. At school, Mugeng is very popular because of her good personality and cute, pretty appearance. Consequently, many boys have feelings for her, but unfortunately, according to Mugeng, she already has a boyfriend, and they are currently living together—undoubtedly shattering many boys’ fragile hearts.
“I rember you were working hard to practice cooking, even joining the cooking club, saying you wanted to make delicious food for your boyfriend? And you did really well, honestly, I want to marry you myself!”
Saying this, the friend reached out and hugged Mugeng.
“Having such a great girl as a girlfriend, how could anyone be dissatisfied? Your boyfriend must be weird!”
“No, that person is nice, it’s just that……”
“Just that?”
“Recently, they’ve brought other girls ho, and I’m a bit uneasy……”
“Other girls?”
The two stared blankly at Mugeng’s words.
“Are they relatives or sothing?”
“No, just girls they t by chance, saying it was because they felt sorry for them, so they let them stay at our place and have been taking care of them all the ti……”
“That’s cheating, cheating! And bringing the other woman right in front of the girlfriend, your boyfriend is really awful!”
Hearing this, Mugeng’s friends felt a surge of righteous indignation.
“How can there be soone like that? Clearly, with such a good girlfriend like Mugeng, what more could they want?”
“Mugeng, after school, let’s go ho with you. We really want to see what kind of shaless person your boyfriend is!”
“Ah, no, sorry!”
Seeing how indignant the two were, Mugeng quickly waved her hands.
“It’s okay, I’m sorry for worrying you. Although that person is like that, sotis they’re also very gentle with . And…… as long as that person can be by my side in the end, I’m satisfied enough……”
“This………”
Seeing Mugeng’s slightly flushed face and the happy smile as she hugged her phone tightly, her two friends exchanged a helpless glance.
“What can we do about this?”
“There’s no way, this child is completely infatuated, saying anything now wouldn’t make a difference, right……”
With that, the two sighed heavily.
“Sigh………”
While Mugeng was happily hugging her phone, over on the other side, Duanmu Huai was twitching as he stared at his phone.
On it, ssage after ssage was continuously popping up.
[I’m in class, what are you doing?]
[I miss you so much, do you miss ?]
[Why don’t you reply? Am I being too annoying?]
[Sorry, I didn’t an to, I just wanted to talk to you……]
[Even if you don’t reply, it’s okay. I just want you to know that I’m always thinking of you]
[If you’re with another woman, don’t worry about . No matter what, I’ll be waiting for you at ho]
[By the way, what do you want to eat today? I’ll make potato stew……]
[I’ll be waiting for you at ho, make sure to co back, okay?]
[Absolutely, okay? It’s a promise, okay?]
“…………This guy just won’t stop, will they!”
Looking at the “99 ” text ssage notification on his phone, Duanmu Huai almost wanted to throw his phone away. Ever since Mugeng learned how to use a phone, she sent these annoying spam ssages to him every day. To Duanmu Huai, most of them were just nonsense.
Seriously, aren’t you supposed to be at school? Just sitting in the classroom and texting all day?
Goddamn it, why is there no blacklist function… I really want to block her directly.
Duanmu Huai decisively turned off the ssage notification sound. After traveling through so many worlds, this was the first ti he encountered such a woman, and he was speechless.
Luckily, it’s just a clone and not the real body, or else his head might have exploded.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Duanmu Huai’s reaction, Xitong Lingnao curiously asked, and Duanmu Huai shook his head.
“Nothing, just spam ssages… Anyway, they should be arriving soon.”
“Yes, I’ve already explained things to the principal; they should be here soon.”
Right now, Duanmu Huai and Xitong Lingnao were at Mitakihara Middle School. With Xitong Lingnao’s identity, eting a student like Homura Akemi was quite easy. All she had to do was find the principal, show her credentials, and say she needed to ask Homura Akemi so questions. Naturally, the principal would obediently make a call and even kindly vacate the principal’s office.
And all Duanmu Huai and Xitong Lingnao had to do was wait in the principal’s office.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Sure enough, at this mont, a knock on the door was heard. Xitong Lingnao and Duanmu Huai exchanged glances and nodded.
“Co in.”
“Ex-excuse …”
The one who entered through the principal’s office door was a sowhat introverted-looking girl. She had long black hair tied into a braid, wore red-frad glasses, and seed anxious and uneasy. She was like a small, timid animal.
Is this also a Magic Girl?
Duanmu Huai exchanged a glance with Xitong Lingnao, who then looked at the braided girl in front of her.
“Are you Homura Akemi?”
“Y-yes, um, I heard the principal was looking for …”
“Strictly speaking, we’re the ones looking for you.”
As Xitong Lingnao spoke, she took out her credentials and showed them to Homura Akemi. Upon seeing the credentials in Xitong Lingnao’s hands, Homura Akemi’s face turned even paler, and she sat rigidly, unable to sit still.
“Th-then may I ask… why you’re looking for ?”
“I’ll get straight to the point… Homura Akemi, are you a Magic Girl?”
“Eh?!”
Hearing Xitong Lingnao’s inquiry, Homura Akemi trembled with fright, almost jumping up. However, at this mont, Duanmu Huai seed to appear behind her like a ghost, pushing her back onto the couch.
This only made Homura Akemi more nervous. She looked at Xitong Lingnao, then turned to the Duanmu Huai restraining her body and then…
“I’m sorry!! I’m really very sorry!”
Homura Akemi bowed her head and apologized to them.
“I know I shouldn’t have stolen the weapons, but I needed a way to fight and eliminate the Witch. I’m really sorry; I’ll return those weapons…”
“…What are you talking about?”
Faced with Homura Akemi’s sudden confession, Duanmu Huai and Xitong Lingnao were a bit surprised, and Homura Akemi seed to realize sothing then.
“Uh… you weren’t here to investigate those weapons?”
“……We can talk about that topic later.”
Xitong Lingnao coughed, although she was also curious about Homura Akemi’s aning, she quickly returned to the main topic.
“Actually, we are investigating the matters of Magic Girls and Witches. In fact, we’ve already found a Magic Girl—Tomoe Mami. I think you know her. It was from her that we learned about your existence.”
“……………”
“So, there’s sothing I’d like to ask you.”
Xitong Lingnao stared at Homura Akemi and said.
“You told Tomoe Mami that you were all deceived by QB. What does that an? We know QB is the entity that leads you into contracts, making you Magic Girls, so what exactly have they deceived you about?”
“……………”
Facing Xitong Lingnao’s question, Homura Akemi clenched her fists, gripping her skirt, keeping her head down, seemingly contemplating sothing.
“We’ve been investigating the situation with Witches and Magic Girls. In fact, we’ve also eliminated a Witch, but we still don’t fully understand the relationship between Witches, Magic Girls, and QB. Although we asked Tomoe Mami, what she learned was only what QB told her, and its truth cannot be verified. You once found Tomoe Mami and said she was deceived by QB. So, may I ask how you ca to this conclusion?”
“……………”
Upon hearing this, Homura Akemi seed to have made up her mind. She looked up at them.
“Actually…… I’m from the future.”
Then, Homura Akemi spoke.
