Akemi Homura did not know what was happening on Fang Zheng's side. After that, she left the great library and returned home.
But to Akemi Homura's surprise, someone she loathed was waiting for her there.
"Time traveler, Akemi Homura."
"...QB."
Looking at the white creature standing before her, Akemi Homura glared at it viciously.
"What are you here for? I have nothing to say to you."
"I merely wished to observe your existence."
Even in the face of Akemi Homura's cold response, QB's tone did not change in the slightest.
"To alter the possibilities of the past, you passed through countless parallel worlds. To obtain the ending you sought, you repeated the same month over and over. Your existence has finally answered one of my questions."
"..."
Faced with QB's words, Akemi Homura merely stared coldly at it without saying a word.
"I have always found it strange why Kaname Madoka possessed such extraordinary potential as a Magical Girl. Now, an acceptable hypothesis can be established."
As it spoke, QB flicked its tail, its crimson eyes unblinkingly fixed on Akemi Homura. Hearing QB's words, Akemi Homura frowned but remained silent. QB, however, did not seem bothered by such a trivial matter and simply continued.
"A person's potential to become a Magical Girl is determined by the amount of karma she bears. That would be understandable for a Queen of a nation or a savior of the world, but why would Madoka, who lived an ordinary life, possess such an enormous concentration of karmic threads? It was completely inexplicable. But... now, a hypothesis can be proposed."
QB's tone remained utterly unchanged, yet for some reason, Akemi Homura felt the air around her grow colder.
Don't say it... I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it at all!
