Monster Hunter Gathering

Soon, a group of children gathered around Xiaoyuan.

Many citizens also looked at Xiaoyuan with some gratitude.

Originally their children were crying, but Xiaoyuan quickly coaxed them into silence.

On the other side, Sakura Anko and Hibiki were helping others move things. The way they carried several boxes outshone the adult men next to them.

A physical education teacher from a nearby school saw Sakura Kyoko and Hibiki running so fast while carrying a bunch of heavy objects, and exclaimed that they were women who could shoulder the responsibility of the sports world...

"Madoka, let me help you."

After Sayaka busied herself around, she saw Madoka surrounded by a group of children and hurried over to help her.

"Sha... Sayaka..." Xiaoyuan felt a little weak after being submerged in the crowd of children. She didn't expect that these children would stick to her so much. Finally, Sayaka came over to help separate a few children, so that Xiaoyuan was not submerged in the sea of ​​​​kindergarten children.

"You really are so popular with kids, Madoka." Sayaka looked at the flustered Madoka with a helpless look on her face.

"Maybe it's because I've been with my brother for a long time?" Madoka replied, holding a sleepy toddler in her arms. "If we don't take good care of them at a time like this, they might suffer psychological trauma."

"And..." Madoka didn't continue.

Sayaka and senior sister Mami Tomoe don't know about the Witch Night.

With the hunters' deliberate concealment, they just thought it was an ordinary disaster.

"Um…"

After sitting next to Madoka for a while, Sayaka couldn't help but ask Madoka, "Madoka, if... you could make a wish, what would you wish for?"

“…” Madoka opened her eyes wide, but shook her head and did not answer Sayaka.

Not willing to make a wish, not being able to make a wish, not being able to make a wish...all of these are reflected in the shaking of the head.

And Sayaka continued, "If I could make a wish, I would... wish to heal Kyousuke's hand."

"!"

Xiaoyuan's heart trembled.

This is exactly what Sayaka wished for.

Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, not knowing for a moment whether she should say something.

Should she persuade Sayaka to give up this wish, or should she tell Sayaka not to become a magical girl through the magical girl method?

After all... as long as Kyubey is still in this world, someone like Sayaka will sooner or later make a wish for someone else and become a magical girl, right?

Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel entangled thinking about these things. At this moment, above the gymnasium, Laos had just finished his cat meal, rubbed his bloated belly and stood up.

"I've finished my cat meal! Time to continue approaching the Tenkai Dragon!" Laos's eyes lit up.

After eating the cat meal made from dragon meat, the next step was to hunt the powerful ancient dragon. Laos became excited when he thought about his current life.

This is the life he wants!!

But when Laos just stood up, he suddenly found...something unusual seemed to happen in the distance.

Not in the direction of Tianhuilong, but in another direction.

From such a long distance, Laos could only see that there seemed to be some noise over there, and he didn't know what exactly was happening, so Laos took out a telescope and looked in that direction, and what he saw was... a group of witches.

"Eh?"

Laos was stunned.

Logically, weren't the magical girl, the witch, and Kyubey all blocked outside of Mitakihara City by the winged lion's magic? How did the witch appear so close?

Laos was confused for a moment and then felt something was wrong. Why did that group of witches seem to be coming towards this side?

After taking a look at the direction, Laos opened the map without hesitation, and then compared the directions to find the maze built by the Winged Lion and the location of the gymnasium...

Comparing the directions from which the witches appeared, Laos discovered that the location where those witches appeared was the closest point to the gymnasium when entering the maze from outside Mitakihara City.

The other party came for the gymnasium as a shelter.

"It must have been Kyubey who did it!" Laos made a judgment immediately.

Through the previous dissection of the witch, Laos already had a clear idea of ​​what kind of existence the witch was.

They were a group of beings composed of despair and driven by pure instinct; it was difficult to even call them living beings.

It's impossible for a witch to break through the magic power that makes up the maze and come here, so...

Laos looked a little strange.

If Kyubey attacks other places, there might be some problems. After all, hunters cannot split themselves, and with so few people gathered, they cannot spare too many people to do other things.

But now the base is here. Although the Felynx will not take the initiative to hunt, they will help operate the mechanisms and protect the camp.

However, Laos decided to discuss this matter with Nie Chiwu first.

"Huh? Those bastards from Kyubey went and attacked the gym?"

Nie Chiwu roared into the voice chat while fighting: "Then you don't need to come back, Laos! Go and kill TN's Kyubey with a Chop Axe!"

"Damn it! These bastards actually came here looking for death!"

Chapter 401 The Girls Go Out

In the area where the witch group was at the moment, several Kyubeys were hiding their bodies and following the advancing witches towards the gymnasium.

The Kyubeys also felt confused and troubled.

After realizing that the entire Mitakihara City was enveloped by a strange force, the Kyubeys immediately gathered the nearby magical girls who could rush to Mitakihara City, and created witches using the Seeds of Sorrow, letting them try to break through the barrier formed by the energy in that location.

Not only that, through other means of observation, another energy (Gunji) appeared in Mitakihara City that the Kyubeys did not understand, and after that energy appeared, a battle broke out in Mitakihara City.

This unexpected situation made the Kyubits unable to understand, but just when the Kyubits were trying to solve the maze, a young man with blue hair appeared in front of them.

The blue-haired young man, holding a sword that looked completely untechnical, single-handedly blocked all the magical girls from entering the maze.

Even the blue-haired young man used his extremely fast movement speed to defeat most of the witches created by the Kyubeys.

What's worse... after the blue-haired young man saw them, although there was no change in the expression on his face, the Kyubeys saw an emotion in the blue-haired young man's eyes that they had also seen in the eyes of other magical girls.

It was... uncontrollable anger.

The blue-haired young man did not harm the lives of any magical girls, but used his absolute strength to make those magical girls lose the ability to continue moving.

But he completely defeated both the witch and Kyubey with his thunderous force.

Under such circumstances, the Chubis had no choice but to change their plans and make another choice.

The Kyubeys induced the magical girls that Sinmel had deliberately held back to stop Sinmel and delay his progress as much as possible.

The targets of the Kyubeys also became the small circles they detected.

Before any more changes occur, the Kyubeys want Madoka to become a magical girl now.

As long as Madoka becomes a magical girl, the energy that can be transformed from her hope when she becomes a witch in the future will be enough to achieve Kyubey and the others' goals.

Therefore, the Kyubeys used all their abilities and finally created a path to the gymnasium for the witches they created at the location closest to the gymnasium.

Laos rubbed his head and looked at the group of witches getting closer and closer to the gym. When he was thinking about how he should deal with these witches, Laos suddenly raised a finger: "Hey!"

"Can't I just call Xiang and the others up?"

Without hesitation, Laos opened the private chat of the assembly voice chat, connected to the voice calls of Hibiki and Unosaki, and then told them who were helping in the gymnasium what was going to happen.

After they learned about this, they quickly informed Tomoe Mami...

When Mami heard that a group of witches were gathering to attack this place, she showed an expression of disbelief.

But when Mami looked through the window in the direction where the witch appeared, she had to believe what Hibiki and Unosaki said.

"Could this storm also be caused by a group of witches?" Mami couldn't help but wonder, but the situation was a bit urgent now, and she couldn't help but find out the truth.

In order to find manpower, Tomoe Mami immediately found Sakura Kyoko...

(Some people who haven't read the details may not know that Sakura Anko and Tomoe Asami were old friends, both teachers and friends. Sakura once learned witch-hunting and fighting methods from Asami, and they formed a team together. Later, the two broke up because of changes in Anko's family.)

"Huh? A group of witches?" Sakura Anzi looked incredulous. "Witches really gather together?"

"And you two...are you two in the same group with that Nie Chiwu?" Sakura Anko looked at Xiang and Unosaki.

It had not been long since she was tricked by Nie Chiwu into attending Mitakihara Middle School, and she didn't know the specific situation there.

"No matter what, the most important thing now is to stop those witches." Tomoe Mami's expression was extremely serious: "We can't let that many witches approach the gymnasium... The people here will be affected by the witches."

Mami Tomoe knew very well what the consequences would be after the witches arrived at the gymnasium. The aura of despair emanating from the witches would affect the minds of normal people, causing them to despair and commit suicide.

"Should we tell Sayaka what happened here?" Xiang asked with a little concern.

She didn't care about the battle. After all, witches were no longer normal creatures, and were not the magical girls they used to be.

As for those Kyubeys... they are monsters that are far different from humans.

But Sayaka has no ability to fight, so Hibiki is a little hesitant about whether to tell Sayaka about this.

"Sayaka...don't tell her about the witches for now." Tomoe Mami said after some hesitation: "I don't know where Kyubey has gone now, and Sayaka can't turn into a magical girl. It's hard for me to take care of her with so many witches..."

"It would be nice if the new magical girl was here at this moment." Mami said.

Hibiki and Unosaki knew who Mami was talking about. Mami had also met Homura Akemi on the first day, but later Homura came into contact with Madoka and Nie Chiwu, and did not have much contact with Mami.

"Then, let's go fight." Mami transformed seriously, and the light of the transformation slightly illuminated this deserted corner.

"Really..." Sakura Anko transformed with some annoyance. As for Uno Saki and Hibiki, whose transformation modes relied on shouting and singing respectively, they planned to wait until they left the gymnasium before transforming.

However, Mami didn't notice that Sayaka was hiding in the corner and could clearly hear the conversation here.

"Group of witches..."

Sayaka bit her lip, but there was nothing she could do.

She watched Mami and the others leave, but she couldn't help but admit... She had no ability to fight at the moment, she didn't have the ability to transform like Mami, and she hadn't made a wish to become a magical girl.

"Kyuubi..."

Sayaka now has an urge. She also wants to make a wish and gain the ability to protect the residents.

If the witch really harmed the residents here, Sayaka knew she couldn't just sit back and watch.

Sayaka thought like this and quickly took action, ready to try to find Kyubey... She now wanted to make a wish to cure Kamijou Kyousuke, and then turn into a magical girl to help Mami and the others fight to protect people.

Just as Sayaka had this thought, the magic power around her... moved slightly.

Faintly, the winged lion's muttering could be heard in the air.

"These girls really make me happy..."

Chapter 402: The Magical Girl Whose Winged Lion Intervened

Sayaka had no idea where Kyubey might be. From her perspective, she had no idea that Kyubey had been collectively expelled by the hunters.

She has always only known Kyubey's whereabouts. Ordinary people cannot see Kyubey at all, so Sayaka guessed that Kyubey might be somewhere in this gymnasium now.

So Sayaka started searching in the gymnasium while Mami and the others left the gymnasium to stop the witches.

And those Kyubeys who were hiding among the group of witches were hiding their figures and lurking towards the gymnasium.

They are eager to turn Madoka into a magical girl before any more mishaps occur.

As long as the witch threatens the humans in the gymnasium, then... Madoka's personality will probably make her turn into a magical girl in order to save these people.

As long as Madoka becomes a magical girl, she will sooner or later become a witch due to despair or exhaustion of magic power. By that time... the cause and effect in Madoka's body will be transformed into huge energy, achieving the purpose of Kyubey and others collecting energy.

To this end, the Ninjagobi continued to use the seeds of sorrow they had collected in the past to create witches and let them attack the gymnasium.

According to the calculations of the Kyubeys, this number of witches, even if there were others to stop them, would be enough to pose a threat to the people taking refuge in the gymnasium before Xinmei arrived.

So... the Kyubeys avoided the fighting Mami and others, and used their small bodies to sneak into the gymnasium from all directions.

But one of the Chibi had just entered the gymnasium when it was grabbed by the neck by a huge hand and lifted up from the ground.

The Kyubey raised his head and immediately saw a face full of anthropomorphic feeling.

"Come to think of it, this is my first time seeing Kyubey up close." Laos lowered his head and stared at the Kyubey in his hand: "Kyuubi...what kind of creature is it?"

"Why do the vast majority of you have no emotions, yet have such clear goals?"

As Laos spoke, he pulled out a hunter's skinning knife from behind his waist with his free hand. "And... it seems there's something else I can gather from you?"

After catching Kyubey, Laos noticed that in the hunter's encyclopedia on the assembly panel, there was an extra grid full of question marks in the encyclopedia of small creatures, and the silhouette of the image on it was exactly the same as the Kyubey in Laos's hand.
