NOVEL NEXT Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Just Thinking About It Is Exciting
Takumi brought Madoka and the others directly back to his home.
As they appeared in the courtyard, Mami Tomoe and the others looked around curiously. Especially when they realized they were on a mountain, everyone was astonished. From here, they could see the skyline of the cities below.
Seeing the sprawling cities, their eyes widened.
"So magnificent!"
The cities below were enormous. They even saw spaceships flying through the skies, and some dragons too.
"Whoa~!"
"That's a dragon!!"
"Wow, and angels too!!"
"This world is amazing!!"
The girls buzzed with excitement, completely thrilled by the sights. After all, they were from another world and had never seen such wonders. Their reaction was quite normal. Especially when all these mythical creatures appeared right in front of them—how could they not be excited?
In the end, they were just a bunch of young girls.
They stood at the entrance of Takumi's home, pointing and exclaiming at the distant views. Clearly, they were stunned by the scenery around Takumi's place. It was genuinely impressive. And this was only one city below. Surely, Takumi had even more cities like this.
"Come inside!"
"You'll have plenty of chances to see it later."
"Let's talk about your situation now."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Takumi couldn't help but smile wryly. He invited them inside, assuring them there would be more time to enjoy the views later.
At his call, the girls hurried in and followed Takumi into the house to start discussing things.
"Has Bronya already explained your situation to you?"
After everyone was seated, Takumi asked.
The girls quickly nodded.
"Yes! Bronya-sister has already told us everything."
Madoka had a complicated look on her face as she glanced at Homura. Bronya had told them many things, including how Homura had been repeating her time loops. After learning that, she finally understood how much Homura had done for her. That was why her emotions were so tangled.
"Good. That's all you need to know. Your world is now connected to ours. From now on, you can come here anytime. I believe Homura must be very happy about this."
"From now on, Lilia will be your teacher."
Takumi pointed at Lilia as he spoke.
Hearing this, the girls nodded. Takumi had already mentioned this before. Now he was just finalizing it.
"She is the Queen of Magical Girl Velier, and also the strongest magical girl. From now on, she will fully guide you in becoming magical girls. As for your world, unless something unexpected happens, there won't be any new magical girls appearing."
"Which means, you are the last magical girls of your world. Lilia will also help resolve the issues within you."
Takumi explained thoroughly, and everyone listened carefully. None of them objected to what he said. In fact, this was the best outcome.
They remembered the tragic stories Bronya had shared. Their hearts resisted that fate. Thankfully, that despairing future would no longer occur.
As for whether Madoka would become "Godoka" in the future, Takumi wasn't too concerned. If she had the power to become a goddess, it meant her potential was truly vast. Although the method of becoming a magical girl had changed, Madoka's talent would surely still shine. Maybe she'd even become the strongest magical girl one day.
Takumi talked with Madoka and the others for a long time. After everyone had heard everything, they finally responded.
"We agree. From now on, we are Teacher Velier's students. Thank you, Mr. Takumi!"
Mami stood up and bowed toward Takumi. His help had been immense. With Takumi's aid, their lives in this new world would be much easier.
"Thank you, Takumi-oniichan!"
"Thank you!"
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
Following Mami's lead, Madoka and the others also stood up and expressed their gratitude to Takumi.
Hearing their thanks, Takumi nodded.
"Study well. I have high hopes for all of you."
As he spoke, Takumi felt a hint of anticipation in his heart. The potential of the five girls was unquestionable. They would surely grow into powerful individuals. With Lilia's guidance, their strength would skyrocket.
Lilia usually had little to do, so giving her a few disciples was a good idea.
After discussing all that, Takumi left the rest to Lilia so they could get familiar with each other, since they would be spending a lot of time together.
Takumi took Bronya upstairs.
Once Takumi was gone, Lilia began chatting with the girls and helping the ones who had already become magical girls resolve their issues.
She also arranged for each of them to receive a weapon suited to their abilities.
When they received their weapons, they were stunned.
Homura's was a round shield, identical to the one on her arm.
Madoka's was a bow made from tree branches.
Mami's was a hair ribbon.
Sayaka's was a sword.
Kyoko's was a spear.
Weren't these the very weapons they used after transforming?
Except for Mami's.
"These magic-armed weapons were all crafted based on your profiles."
"I made them a long time ago. Now that you're here, I can finally give them to you."
Lilia smiled as she explained. She had watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica before, and when she saw the five-colored squad, she was inspired to craft these weapons.
They were all extremely advanced, incorporating many new technologies. Initially, she had no use for them. After all, she herself was the strongest magical girl.
These magic weapons were just part of her collection. But now that Madoka and the others had come, she could finally hand them over.
What a coincidence. Something she thought might never be used was now being put to good use.
Besides these five magic weapons, she also had other creations.
Such as staffs, artillery-caster gear, even a thunder war axe.
She had made a lot of things in her spare time.
Lilia had recreated nearly every weapon used by magical girls she had seen in anime.
Maybe she could take in more magical girls as apprentices in the future.
If all the famous magical girls in the future became her disciples...
Just the thought of it was kind of exciting, wasn't it?
