Chapter 48: World-renowned artist! Feared across all worlds! The Headless Magical Girl! The terrifying little Madoka!
〜Naruto World〜
"Does the nature of a wish define the strength it brings into existence?"
Uchiha Obito gazed deeply at the Kyubey in the light screen.
He instinctively touched his own eyes.
The magical girls of that world were so similar to the birth of the Uchiha Mangekyo.
Both were powers born from wishes, but his eyes were born from extreme despair.

〜MCU World〜
Loki looked incredulously at the cute girl on the screen, his face full of confusion.
As the number one mage of the Nine Realms and the God of Mischief, he didn't know what an infinite box was, but he was aware of the multiverse's limits.
But... to tell him that this seemingly foolish, indecisive, and dull-witted girl could become an existence beyond the multiverse?!
Where would that leave the face of the Nine Realms' number one mage?!
At this moment, Loki fell into deep thought, wondering whether it was more likely that he had gone mad or that this girl named Kaname Madoka could become a super powerhouse.

"Putting aside the wish for now, why is this witch so bizarre?"
In the Saotome residence, Eri chewed on her brush, lost in thought.
On the drawing paper in front of the girl were Madoka and Homura, naked—hmm~
As expected of an R- 18 master, she unconsciously created whatever she saw.
What puzzled Eri was that the world Madoka and the others lived in was normal, warm, and beautiful, but once they entered the witch's barrier, the style completely changed.
Judging solely from the artistic style, with her professional R- 18 master identity, Eri could confidently say it was a style called collage—a bizarre combination of line drawings, crayon art, and various objects.
By breaking apart, reassembling, and pasting different materials, it showcased fragmentation, dynamism, unpredictability, impact, and color.
"And this style... is usually used for horror stories, right?"
Eri felt slightly uneasy.
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
The door was knocked, and Aki Tomoya barged in. Under Eri's bewildered gaze, he knelt on the floor, bowing deeply as he pleaded.
"Eri, help me create the most beautiful magical girl game in the world! We can definitely make it a hit with this healing game!"
"...Get out! You pervert! Who said you could come in!"

『 The family named Kaname was happy.
A strong, career-driven mother, a understanding stay-at-home father, and a cute younger brother.
Because of this, the girl had no complaints. Living in a happy world, Madoka had no urgent wishes.
Life, though, was full of happiness and warmth. 』

〜Naruto World〜
"That's really nice,"
Naruto showed a look of longing, and Sasuke's eyes also subtly changed.
Even Kakashi couldn't help but show a hint of yearning.
In this team where the three couldn't a pair of parents, the word "parents" was too heavy.
One witnessed his parents being killed, one didn't even know who his parents were, and another saw his father commit suicide.
Sakura tilted her head, puzzled by the silence of the three.
"I'm going home, or my parents will get angry,"
Sakura waved her hand.
The three: "..."

『 On the way, Madoka and Sayaka once again headed to school together, but unexpectedly, they spotted a Grief Seed about to hatch on the roadside!
To prevent the witch from harming others, the two immediately split up. Madoka went to find Senpai Tomoe Mami, while Sayaka was responsible for monitoring the Grief Seed.
The moment Madoka left, the Grief Seed automatically created a barrier, pulling Sayaka inside!
At the same time, Mami Senpai and Madoka arrived just in time. To avoid stimulating the Grief Seed's, the two could only proceed quietly.
Unexpectedly, Homura also burst in, declaring that this witch was her prey. 』

[ Haruno Sakura (Naruto): "Ah, Akemi Homura is so frustrating! Why can't all the magical girls just unite and fight together?" ]
[ Yang Jian (New Gods): "Supernatural beings clash with heaven, earth, and everything in between. The notion of a beautiful battle is utterly ridiculous." ]
[ Marshal D. Teach (One Piece): "Ze hahahaha! It's only fun when there's competition!" ]
[ Zhuge Kongming (Type-moon): "All under heaven come for profit; all under heaven go for profit. It should be so." ]
[ Ur (Fairy Tail): "Treasure it,. It's not just companions who can support each other. Learn more from enemies, gain more from enemies, until the day you meet again. Just that person's existence is enough to make you endure loneliness. Among competitors, even enemies can support each other." ]

"Is Homura really that kind of person...?"
Madoka hugged her rabbit plushie, feeling slightly uneasy.
She didn't think Homura was like that. Whether it was chasing Kyubey or competing for witches, everything Homura did seemed... as if she was deliberately planning something.
Could it be that Homura didn't want anyone to get hurt? But Mami Senpai was so strong, there shouldn't be any problems...
Madoka nervously looked at the screen.
—
『 Even though she promised to bring Kyubey and Sayaka back safely, Mami Senpai still didn't agree. Though her smile remained, Mami Senpai was already tired of Akemi Homura.
She reached out and, taking Homura by surprise, used her ribbons to bind her directly!
"Idiot, this is not the time for this,"
Homura clearly didn't expect Mami Senpai to act directly. She warned, "This witch's nature is different from the previous ones."
"No need to worry. If you behave, I'll let you go when we return,", Mami Senpai turned and left with Madoka.
Homura wanted to say more, but under Mami Senpai's, she couldn't get a word out. 』

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "Is this Mami Senpai's magical girl power? The previous weapons, and now control—a combination of firepower and control?" ]
[ Uchiha Madara (Naruto): "The wish made earlier was to survive. Is this the power born from that wish?" ]
[ Haruno Sakura (Naruto): "Mami Senpai is so strong! She should teach Akemi Homura a lesson, or she'll just keep being annoying." ]
[ Master Roshi (Dragon Ball): "Young lady, are you interested in learning the turtle shell bind?" ]
[ Bulma (Dragon Ball): "Get lost! You damn old pervert!" ]
[ .....]
『 On the way, Madoka also shared her thoughts with Mami Senpai. She admired Mami Senpai's presence.
If she could become a magical girl with this feeling, perhaps it would fulfill her wish.
Mami Senpai stopped in her tracks, her expression unreadable.
Because from the very beginning, she knew that her composed and strong demeanor was just a front. She feared loneliness, feared being alone.
What she truly wanted was a like-minded companion to share this burden with.
She was never someone worthy of admiration, and magical girls were not something to aspire to.
"Mami Senpai is no longer alone now," Madoka said gently with a smile.
"Yes, yes..." Mami Senpai's eyes welled up with tears.
The loneliness in her heart burst forth at this moment. She tightly grasped Madoka's hand.
"From now on, will you really fight alongside me? Will you stay by my side?"
"Yes!" Madoka nodded firmly. 』

[ Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "Hmph, with such power, yet so fragile inside." ]
[ Romani Archaman (Type-Moon): "Humans are social creatures by nature. It's only natural to fear loneliness." ]
[ Hijiri Koganei (Romantic Killer): "As long as there is light in your heart, there is no need to fear." ]
[ Jibril (No game, No life): "Guhihi~ A powerful magical girl who fears loneliness? I'd like to collect her too." ]
[ Elysia (Honkai: Impact Third): "Ugh, seeing such a cute girl cry is so sad." ]
[ Miki Sayaka (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "Um... could you stop flirting for a moment? Aren't Kyubey and I still trapped in the barrier?" ]
[ .....]
『 "The Grief Seed is about to hatch," Sayaka's exclamation came through.
"OK, got it~!" An extremely happy Mami Senpai transformed instantly, choosing to end things quickly!
In the witch's space filled with desserts and cakes, Mami Senpai became a magical girl and then pulled a long gun from her chest. In an instant, sparks flew! 』

〜Genshin Impact World〜
Teyvat Continent
In the endless eternity, a certain breathtaking figure slowly opened her eyes, thoughtfully watching Tomoe Mami pull a gun from her chest.
Meanwhile, elsewhere
"Woo hoo! It's just like Ei's milk-scented... gun! What a coincidence!"
Pink fox ears twitched, and Yae Miko's eyes sparkled.
—
『 The girl danced with graceful movements. In the face of such firepower, the witch's minions were utterly powerless.
Even the surrounding eerie dessert-themed style gradually became somewhat warm.
The sweet atmosphere and Mami Senpai's reliable presence even made Madoka and Sayaka relax.
"It's here," said Kyubey.
An eerie music sounded, and a cute doll wearing a bowtie hat landed in the center of the space.
And that was the witch of this incident!
"Sorry, but I'm going to finish you in one go!" Mami Senpai used the gunstock to knock the witch flying, followed by countless bullets riddling the doll like a sieve!
Strings extended from the doll's body, lifting it into the air.
Trying to hide? Mami Senpai wasn't worried at all. The gun in her hand transformed into a giant cannon-like firearm in the blink of an eye.
"TIRO FINALE—!"
"BOOM—!" A massive beam pierced through the witch, and even more, ribbons had already pierced the witch's heart! 』

[ Frenda (A Certain Magical Index): "Ah, no matter how many times I see it, it's so enviable. Who understands the pain of spending so much money on artillery every day? And stuffing a bunch of bombs under my skirt is really inconvenient!" ]
[ Kinuhata Saiai (A Certain Magical Index): "You really do stuff those things under your skirt!" ]
[ Mine (Akame Ga Kill): "Feels more useful than Pumpkin." ]
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "Changing weapon size at will... I have a new improvement plan." ]
[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern ⦍Magical Girl⦎ (Type-Moon): "Ugh, this witch died so tragically. It didn't stand a chance against Mami Senpai." ]
[ .....]
『 With Mami Senpai's final blow, everything was settled.
Madoka and Sayaka in the distance showed looks of admiration and joy, but the next moment, their expressions froze on their faces...
Tightly wound ribbons compressed the doll into a flat sheet. In an instant, a giant doll ballooned out from the original doll's body!
No time to react, no time to dodge. In less than a fraction of a second, the extended doll was right in front of Mami Senpai.
A giant pupil locked onto Mami's eyes!
A massive mouth full of sharp teeth opened—crunch
Mami Senpai's head was bitten off in one bite—
Blood sprayed everywhere. A headless body swayed wildly in the air like a fountain— 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone's scalps tingled with horror!
The shift from to was utterly chilling!
The lively Tomoe Mami from moments ago had suddenly become a headless senpai?!
All the previous warm and cozy scenes seemed to for this moment!!!

[ Ruby (Type-Moon): "Ahhhhh! Miyu, Illya, close your eyes!" ]
[ Kishitani Shinra (Durarara): "Tomoe Mami Senpai, did you know? At this moment, you remind me of an old friend of mine." ]
[ Xingtian (GeGeGe no Kitaro): "Child, are you also one of my believers?" ]
[ Corpse King (One Punch Man): "If a magical girl loses her head, she probably can't survive, right?" ]
[ Charlotte (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "Yummy snack, crunchy friend flavor~" ]
[ Kocho Shinobu (Demon Slayer): "...Is this what magical girls are really like?" ]
[ Daigo (UItraman): "How could this...? She just found a!" ]

[ Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): "Wait... what just happened?!" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-moon): "Hehe, it's indeed a bit confusing, isn't it, Mami Tomoe-senpai~" ]
[ Maki Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen): "What kind of hellish joke is this?!" ]
[ Kumoko (So I'm a Spider, So What?): "Being a Magical Girl is definitely a high-risk profession..." ]

〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline〜
"Ugh——!"
Illya's eyes went dark, she fell to the ground, her face pale and vomiting.
"Mami... Mami Tomoe-senpai!"
Illya's hand trembled as she pointed at the screen, now showing the clueless senpai, unable to speak for a long time.
"Illya, calm down, Miyu is also here, we will definitely not let you get hurt!"
Ruby and Sapphire tried to comfort her.
Miyu's face was pale, but she didn't say a word, the matter of Mami Tomoe-senpai reminded her of her brother...
Just like that reliable and caring elder, but...
The girl's face became increasingly gloomy.

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
The safest city—Academy City
Accelerator's mouth curled into a wicked smile.
Making a wish to save her own life, so when Kaname Madoka wanted to fight with her, Mami Tomoe died like this?
If that's the case, then this wasn't a wish, but a curse!
So this was the real Magical Girl? A cursed lucky one?!
"Interesting, it's really interesting! Hahahahaha!"
—
〜Puella Magi Madoka Magica World〜
Famous Scene——
If no other Magical Girls were around to help, senpai would still have died, since senpai didn't know that the Witch had two forms.
Senpai had always been alone, fighting alone, she finally found a partner, and then...
Homura was also worried about Mami, but was misunderstood by Mami Tomoe.
Ah! It's really confusing.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Madoka violently vomited, her whole body trembling intensely.
This... this was being a Magical Girl...
This was the price that Magical Girls had to pay!
That reliable Mami Tomoe-senpai... had already made a promise with her!
For the first time, Madoka felt so afraid of being a Magical Girl!

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone also slowly came back to their senses, the scene just now was too shocking.
What about next?
Without Mami Tomoe-senpai, how would Madoka and Sayaka, still in the Witch's barrier, deal with that Witch that even Mami Tomoe couldn't resist?
The only way was to sign a contract with Kyubey to become a Magical Girl, and then they would have the power to fight, right?
.....
『 "You must sign a contract with me now!" Kyubey urged, taking advantage of the Witch still devouring senpai's warm corpse.
"It's not necessary,"
A calm voice interrupted Kyubey, Kyubey was stunned.
Then a handsome figure leaped to the front of the Witch, Homura stood in front of Madoka, coldly saying, "I'll take care of this thing!"
Seeing another new little snack, the doll's face showed visible joy~
"Ahwu——"
Almost instantly, a mouth like a black hole swallowed Homura! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Could she dodge it?!
The countless audience in the Multiverse held their breath!
Was Homura going to become like Mami Tomoe-senpai, clueless?!
That kind of thing shouldn't happen!

( Translator-kun: Poor Illya didnt know that being magical girl is a debuff... )
