if you guys have realised, yet, entries aren't coming as fast as they should be and they are lagging behind, A LOT.
yes, due to one main reason. lack of time.
this post ain't gonna be long but i do wish to point this out now. i have absolutely no spare time i can grasp to continue blogging and even everyday's schedule is totally packed with work. Thus, i am retiring, here and now, from 3 1/2 years of blogging.
Restarting is highly unlikely but not impossible, definitely not this year.
photos of events might appear somewhere else but anime blogging will not continue in time to come.
I thank you guys for viewing this humble blog and i feel sad to have to part with this. But priority weighs and i had to make a choice. To retire.
So long then :)
Sincerely,
BLooDy

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 9
after Sayaka, Kyouko falls.
NOW that, is fast and unexpected for me =/
i was definitely hoping for Kyouko to stay on till the end, or maybe till Walpurgis Night ... but it seems that she had to take an early leave from the series.
Following Sayaka's transformation in a witch, Kyouko had firmly believed that it was a witch's doing that had stolen or sealed Sayaka's Soul Gem, until Homura arrives to knock the truth into her. Sayaka's Soul Gem had been tainted to a state that it becomes a Grief Seed and that witch in front of them, was Sayaka. ("Sayaka" in this entry would be referring to the witch Sayaka had transformed into) Stopping time, Homura gives Kyouko an opportunity to leave the scene, bringing Sayaka's lifeless body out of the dimension. Madoka, who was searching for Sayaka, spots Kyouko and Homura and was shocked to see Sayaka laying limp in Kyouko's hands.

Homura didn't hesitate to reveal the truth which caused Madoka to break down almost immediately. Kyouko was however unable to comprehend Homura's actions as she knew Madoka would take a heavy blow since Sayaka was her closest friend but Homura doesn't feel what she did was wrong since she wasn't human anymore, just like Kyouko as well.
That night, a devastated Madoka was unable to get to sleep and had a surprise visit from Kyubey once again. After surviving those gunshots, it still had the nerve to visit someone who had lost a dear friend, due to its actions. How i wish i could bash it up and erase it once and for all =X
Kyubey's purpose this time, was to explain the origin of its actions and told Madoka about thermodynamic terms: the problem of Entropy. In the world, every living being is consuming energy and this has to be replenished in order to keep the universe going. Beings, such as Kyubey, had found a solution to replenish the lost energy, with the magic of a Mahou Shoujo. With the strong feelings the living beings on Earth has, the greater the amount of energy harvested as they grow and mature. Once a Soul Gem becomes tainted and become a Grief Seed, an enormous amount of energy would be released and it was the Incubator's job, to harvest these energy to keep the universe going. Kyubey states that it doesn't understand how one's death would matter in a world filled with billions of people and being able to sacrifice oneself for such a great cause wasn't bad as seen by Kyubey.
pic
No one was forced since they were given a choice of a contract.
And that was the reasoning that the cunning little creature gave, to support all its views in this world. Kyubey adds on that Madoka would become the strongest Mahou Shoujo and finally the strongest witch which would thus produce an insane amount of energy. It hopes that Madoka would change her mind to save the universe and to call it when she wants to do so. Supporting those words with all the "saving the world" and stuff does make it seem that its trying a little too hard to grab Madoka into their side. Aliens? Now that's an interesting plot twist. Maybe we get to see more Kyubeys too (since its a species? O_O) ... I think i'll pass on that =/
Meanwhile, Kyouko was still preserving Sayaka's body and believes that Sayaka could still be saved and sets off the next day to find the target for her solution. Madoka. Kyouko believes that with a close friend such as Madoka, she might be able to call out to Sayaka and revert her back to her original Soul Gem. Kyouko make things clear with Madoka that there will be no guarantee for the plan's success nor her safety but for Madoka, it was still better than not trying to help at all. Moving into the dimension, Sayaka quickly notices the intruders and transport them directly into the main room, and the plan begins. While Madoka was desperately calling out to Sayaka, Kyouko was protecting Madoka with her full abilities but things does not seem to go well and she was quickly overpowered.
Having barely saved Madoka from Sayaka's grasp, Kyouko was much at her limits and Homura arrives at the scene to rescue the unconscious Madoka. Requesting for Homura to take Madoka and leave, Kyouko was left face-to-face with Sayaka. Not wanting any of them to be alone any longer, Kyouko releases her final blow, breaking her Soul Gem and ending the battle.
With Madoka safe and another fallen Mahou Shoujo, it was now down to Homura to tackle Walpurgis Night which is the occurrence of an extremely powerful witch and it is unlikely for Homura to take on it alone.
With Sayaka being erased with Kyouko, the hypothesis that Sayaka was the witch at the clocktower will now be eliminated. I didn't though that Kyouko would fall at this stage but having seen that she had actually cared about Sayaka and wasn't as cold as Homura, she might've seen some similarities between her and Sayaka and took an express ticket to stay with her, when her previous talks with her didn't turn out well. With 3 Mahou Shoujos falling before Walpurgis Night, it does seem possible now that Madoka would be accepting the contract to save Homura as seen from the debut episode and Homura's shouting then might have been to ask Madoka to not turn to Kyubey. If it does occur, it might mean that Homura has failed to correct the past yet again... Another time leap? OR could there me a hidden meaning to Homura's existence? There's still a huge load of mysteries surrounding her and i do feel for Madoka, having lost her best friend and now another in a day.
With Kyouko fallen, it was a little depressing since i kinda like her character. She does care for others and was merely trying to stop anyone from making the same mistakes as her and ruining other people's lives, and ultimately their own...

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 8
Chaos has begun. Secrets have been revealed. The time for Walpurgis Night is approaching.
Following the fight with the witch, Sayaka slaughters her opponent and gave Kyouko the Grief Seed in return for saving her earlier on. Not being able to stand up right after the fight, Madoka lends her shoulder and leaves the scene with Sayaka.
Madoka persuades Sayaka to change her style since it wasn't "right" to fight to such an extent even though the pain could not be felt. That however, sparked the fuse in Sayaka, who had already begun to regret her actions after the despair of having Kyousuke taken away from her.
Sayaka's feelings then went loose told Madoka that she knew she had the potential as a Mahou Shoujo which wouldn't require her to succumb to a state similar to Sayaka's. If Madoka really wanted to know about Sayaka's feelings, Sayaka told her bluntly that becoming a Mahou Shoujo like her would be the best possible way.
Sayaka then leaves a distraught Madoka behind and began to cry, having saying those harsh words to Madoka out of impulse. With all the stress acting like a mountain above her, it wasn't unexpected for her to break down in front of Madoka at all.
Meanwhile, Kyouko and Homura met up to discuss the location where Walpurgis Night will occur, which Homura was very certain that it will materialise at the clock tower. Kyouko was still doubtful of Homura since she had always seem to knew everything before hand and that sparked the curiosity from Kyubey as well, who butted in to the meeting between the two.
Having realised that Kyubey had "eaten" their soul without proper consent between both sides, Kyouko bared her spear in the face of the cunning white creature. It didn't bring good news for the two and gave them another information:
Miki Sayaka is exhausting her powers and wouldn't last for long. Which would be problematic if things go out of hand.
Kyubey suspected that Homura could've already knew about the outcome of Miki Sayaka but before he could ask further questions, it was dismissed by the two since it wasn't welcomed. Just how much does Homura knows?
From that day on, it was probably the last Madoka ever saw of Sayaka, who had been wandering around the city and looking at Hitomi and Kyousuke at a distance, giving up all hopes of living as a proper human once again. To remove other unwanted thoughts, Sayaka focused on eliminating familiars despite being persuaded to hunt only witches to purify her own Soul Gem which is becoming more tainted after every battle.
Looking at Sayaka's current state, Homura approaches her with a Grief Seed, prompting her to use it to purify her Soul Gem before it becomes incurable. Sayaka however kicks the Grief Seed away, telling Homura that based on her intuition, she knew her real intention wasn't to save her and it would've been better if she was left to die and not suffer in her current state any longer. True enough, Homura told her that her intuition was right, and her main motive was not to let Madoka see her downfall and not let Madoka to be hurt any longer.
With the current situation, Homura closes in on Sayaka, suggesting to erase her now rather than waiting for death in the future. Kyouko arrives just in time and binds Homura, buying time for Sayaka to escape.
Homura however releases a flashbang and escapes from Kyouko.
In the meantime, Kyubey had went to look for Madoka and had a chat with her, telling her that Sayaka couldn't be saved by its powers anymore but it might just be possible for Madoka. It tells Madoka that she had the power to surpass its abilities and would make the impossible possible.
Having given the chance to save Sayaka, Madoka accepts the contract but before she managed to complete it, the water droplets from the nearby fountain froze for a moment and Kyubey was shot by Homura laying crippled on the bench. Not that it would actually die, but Madoka was still shocked by the assault.
It then surprised Madoka even more with Homura started to show her emotional side. Homura questions Madoka why must she always sacrifice herself to save others and requested her to understand the feelings of those who want to protect her and would feel broken if she was hurt or gone. Being faced with a crying Homura, Madoka asks if they had met before but before a definite answer could be heard, Madoka apologises to Homura and leaves to find Sayaka.
Returning with another body, Kyubey tells Homura that it had already discovered the source of Homura's abilities after looking at how the water had froze: Time Manipulation. Kyubey was now sure that Homura wasn't from this timeline and could have been from another time which knew about the future or the fate of the people here. Which was why she most probably wanted to change the fate of Madoka very badly. To Homura, she also knew about the true form of Kyubey and what exactly it was planning. And also Kyubey's real identity: Incubator.
Leaving the danger zone, Kyouko managed to locate Sayaka. Sayaka however has already given up all hopes after not being able to make sure what she wanted to protect any longer.
She then revealed her Soul Gem which was already tainted to a point where it would not be able to be purified. For Sayaka, the balance of hope and despair was always zero. When one gets a miracle, another would be cursed in return, and that is the story of a Mahou Shoujo.
"I've been such a fool"
were the last words that Kyouko ever heard from Sayaka, whose Soul Gem breaks and a witch's mark replacing it.
The soul-less body of Sayaka falls onto the ground and a witch has begun to take its form.
Elsewhere, Kyubey was looking over this town and with the growing young woman being known as "shoujos" and witches being "majous",
and it is only right for those turning into "majous" be known as "mahou shoujos".
Seeing how Sayaka had been broken due to granting a miracle of another individual, it is proven that miracles do not come cheap. It honestly did felt sour after seeing how Sayaka had knew about the truth of a Mahou Shoujo and giving up everything, which finally showed that she had been a fool all along. For Kyubey, A.K.A. Incubator, what i see is that it was the one responsible for the birth of witches around the world. It gives "birth" to Mahou Shoujos, who when exhausted, turns into witches and the cycle of hunting, or the "food chain", continues. With Sayaka now turning into a witch, i was deeply amazed by the fact that the people whom predicted that Sayaka was the witch behind episode 1's chaos were right all along.
Remembering the clocktower in episode 1, it could be that the time has come for that scene to appear again. So was Sayaka the source of Walpurgis Night? But it definitely seem to be possible now that Homura wouldn't be able to face Sayaka, now becoming a witch, and Madoka being persuaded to become a Mahou Shoujo to save Homura, as seen in the first few minutes of the start of the series.
Honestly, i was pleasantly surprised by Homura's showing of emotions. Which did revealed that she was indeed protective of Madoka, perhaps after knowing her fate in another timeline and wanted to change it. Now the big question lies, just who exactly is Madoka to Homura?

there is an upcoming event heading our way~
JPLEX Vol.1
4-6th March 2011 @ Republic Poly
website here!
yup, you saw it. FLOW and ANGELA are both coming to this event but the price ain't cheap though. Attending their mini-concert will cost you 98 bucks. How many songs are they going to perform? I do not have any idea but this is too costly for me =X
on the other days, there will be movie screenings which i doubt would be free as well, and a much more anticipated one would be the Fafner movie: Heaven and Earth. Seeing how it isn't a remake, i might actually consider watching this sequel to the series that ended years ago. Not forgetting GANTZ which would be showing somewhere in April as well.

GOSICK 7
Together with the travelers, Kujo and Victorique enters the village and which everyone was welcome to stay for the upcoming festival. The village elder then fired a shotgun round, warning the others that they should be extra careful due to the presence of wolves. He later rebuts that the people in the village are humans and aren't the wolves that the travelers suspect them to be.
Back in the chief's mansion, the maid Harminia, spots the similarity between Victorique and Cordelia and started to lose her composure as she had witnessed the murder of the previous village elder. A testimony was then given by the current village elder, where he and some others had witnessed Cordelia entering the previous village elder's room at precisely 12am and had knew so after checking the time on his watch at that time. However, one of the travelers had heard of testimonies that differ in the time of the incident.
Following the elder's story, Cordelia let out a scream before running out and the previous elder had been stabbed to his death. At the scene, gold pieces were scattered across the floor and those gold pieces were collected by the previous village elder to prevent villages from using it. After that incident, Cordelia was under high fever and when she recovered, the elder exiled her and she was forced to live in the outside world, a world that she does not know anything about it. All that was given to her was a gold coin and a trunk. And now, Cordelia's child has returned to the very village that exiled her mother. Leaving the mansion, Victorique decided to take a walk and with Kujo, the elder's assistant, Ambrose, took notice of Kujo's weird appearance, most instinctively, his black hair. In return for a thorough examination of Kujo, Victorique exchanged Kujo's "body" for Ambrose to bring them to a place, Cordelia's home. Seems like the place scared off Ambrose, possibly due to the rumour of the curse and Victorique enters the house and notices a hidden compartment in the floor soon after.
With Kujo's help, the compartment revealed a box that had a photo of Cordelia carrying Victorique while she was still a baby. Victorique then concluded that someone had definitely came here and swapped the contents of the box with the photo. Heading to the graveyard next, Victorique started digging into the previous village elder's grave and noticed a carved sentence on the gravestone: "i am innocent. C-".
Victorique teared up after seeing the words her mother left behind and she was certain that her mother was truly innocent and was exiled from the village. Kujo notices strange noises around them and the wolves came into sight. Grabbing Victorique, the duo ran back to the mansion and Kujo was certain that the wolves did have green eyes just like Victorique's. Safely away from the wolves, the duo later meet up with the nun who had went to search for the telephone. Apparently, a sponsor by the name of Brian Roscoe had came to the village 10 years ago and installed the electricity.
Late in the night, while guarding Victorique when she's having a quick bath, the lights went off and a glass of water that had a fake eyeball in it shocked Kujo. Worried about Victorique's safety, Kujo confirms whether Victorique was alright and she feels that someone was trying to drive them away from the village and had resorted to such means.
The following day signaled the start of the festival which included a dramatic battle between men who were grouped with either the Winter Army of the Summer Army and the stage was set where the Summer Army would overwhelm the Winter Army and burn down the carts of Red Turnips that belonged to them, with their leader, the Winter Man in it, which was just a model lying on top of the cart. One of the travelers, Alan, then started to make a fuss out of the festival in the village that sparked rage over some of the villages, including Harminia. Ambrose then leaves Kujo and Victorique behind and went on with the staged battle whilst the duo are pelleted by small fruits that the villagers were throwing. The duo then spots Alan running away in the midst of the festival and then, the battle begins.
However, things started to go wrong when the carts were burning, with a voice being heard inside the model of the Winter Man. The fire was put out too late and the man inside the model, Alan, had lost his life. The village elder however dismissed his death as an accident and continued with the festival. Victorique later leaves Kujo alone which led him frantically searching for Victorique but ended up in the church, asking about his future about Victorique as adviced by Ambrose. It was then said that the two will definitely be apart from each other but their hearts will never be apart. Thinking about what the elder had read for him, he spots Victorique leaving the church in tears after learning that she most possibly couldn't grow taller anymore in the future. In the time where she had left Kujo alone, Victorique had headed to the scene of the crime where she knew that someone else was the criminal as the previous elder was stabbed in a region where a mere child like Cordelia would never be able to reach.
With that, Victorique managed to piece the Chaos together but lacked evidence of the criminal she had in mind. Before she could reveal more, the village chief headed out with the shotgun and together with Ambrose, Kujo and Citorique, the four of them headed to the mountains to chase the wolves away from the village. Spotting movements in a bush, the village elder takes aim but Victorique knew something was amiss and prompted him to stop. But the trigger was still pulled and behind the bush was yet another traveler, shot in the chest.
Now this arc is definitely much more mysterious than the previous cases and a Chaos that Victorique isn't able to piece together easily... With the man, Brian Roscoe, arriving in the village around the same time as Victorique was born, he is definitely suspicious of being the one who had swapped the contents of the box. Adding on to the suspicions of the villages, Harminia seems the most suspicious of them all, with her losing her composure or go into rage that easily, for someone with green eyes as well, a possible wolf existence? And just how Alan managed to get into the model which was left in the stage for everyone to see when he just ran past Victorique and Kujo? Perhaps that was a fake? Brian Roscoe? O_O
Together with the travelers, Kujo and Victorique enters the village and which everyone was welcome to stay for the upcoming festival. The village elder then fired a shotgun round, warning the others that they should be extra careful due to the presence of wolves. He later rebuts that the people in the village are humans and aren't the wolves that the travelers suspect them to be.
Back in the chief's mansion, the maid Harminia, spots the similarity between Victorique and Cordelia and started to lose her composure as she had witnessed the murder of the previous village elder. A testimony was then given by the current village elder, where he and some others had witnessed Cordelia entering the previous village elder's room at precisely 12am and had knew so after checking the time on his watch at that time. However, one of the travelers had heard of testimonies that differ in the time of the incident.
Following the elder's story, Cordelia let out a scream before running out and the previous elder had been stabbed to his death. At the scene, gold pieces were scattered across the floor and those gold pieces were collected by the previous village elder to prevent villages from using it. After that incident, Cordelia was under high fever and when she recovered, the elder exiled her and she was forced to live in the outside world, a world that she does not know anything about it. All that was given to her was a gold coin and a trunk. And now, Cordelia's child has returned to the very village that exiled her mother. Leaving the mansion, Victorique decided to take a walk and with Kujo, the elder's assistant, Ambrose, took notice of Kujo's weird appearance, most instinctively, his black hair. In return for a thorough examination of Kujo, Victorique exchanged Kujo's "body" for Ambrose to bring them to a place, Cordelia's home. Seems like the place scared off Ambrose, possibly due to the rumour of the curse and Victorique enters the house and notices a hidden compartment in the floor soon after.
With Kujo's help, the compartment revealed a box that had a photo of Cordelia carrying Victorique while she was still a baby. Victorique then concluded that someone had definitely came here and swapped the contents of the box with the photo. Heading to the graveyard next, Victorique started digging into the previous village elder's grave and noticed a carved sentence on the gravestone: "i am innocent. C-".
Victorique teared up after seeing the words her mother left behind and she was certain that her mother was truly innocent and was exiled from the village. Kujo notices strange noises around them and the wolves came into sight. Grabbing Victorique, the duo ran back to the mansion and Kujo was certain that the wolves did have green eyes just like Victorique's. Safely away from the wolves, the duo later meet up with the nun who had went to search for the telephone. Apparently, a sponsor by the name of Brian Roscoe had came to the village 10 years ago and installed the electricity.
Late in the night, while guarding Victorique when she's having a quick bath, the lights went off and a glass of water that had a fake eyeball in it shocked Kujo. Worried about Victorique's safety, Kujo confirms whether Victorique was alright and she feels that someone was trying to drive them away from the village and had resorted to such means.
The following day signaled the start of the festival which included a dramatic battle between men who were grouped with either the Winter Army of the Summer Army and the stage was set where the Summer Army would overwhelm the Winter Army and burn down the carts of Red Turnips that belonged to them, with their leader, the Winter Man in it, which was just a model lying on top of the cart. One of the travelers, Alan, then started to make a fuss out of the festival in the village that sparked rage over some of the villages, including Harminia. Ambrose then leaves Kujo and Victorique behind and went on with the staged battle whilst the duo are pelleted by small fruits that the villagers were throwing. The duo then spots Alan running away in the midst of the festival and then, the battle begins.
However, things started to go wrong when the carts were burning, with a voice being heard inside the model of the Winter Man. The fire was put out too late and the man inside the model, Alan, had lost his life. The village elder however dismissed his death as an accident and continued with the festival. Victorique later leaves Kujo alone which led him frantically searching for Victorique but ended up in the church, asking about his future about Victorique as adviced by Ambrose. It was then said that the two will definitely be apart from each other but their hearts will never be apart. Thinking about what the elder had read for him, he spots Victorique leaving the church in tears after learning that she most possibly couldn't grow taller anymore in the future. In the time where she had left Kujo alone, Victorique had headed to the scene of the crime where she knew that someone else was the criminal as the previous elder was stabbed in a region where a mere child like Cordelia would never be able to reach.
With that, Victorique managed to piece the Chaos together but lacked evidence of the criminal she had in mind. Before she could reveal more, the village chief headed out with the shotgun and together with Ambrose, Kujo and Citorique, the four of them headed to the mountains to chase the wolves away from the village. Spotting movements in a bush, the village elder takes aim but Victorique knew something was amiss and prompted him to stop. But the trigger was still pulled and behind the bush was yet another traveler, shot in the chest.
Now this arc is definitely much more mysterious than the previous cases and a Chaos that Victorique isn't able to piece together easily...

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 7
Even after extracting souls out of humans, Kyubey just had to force the truth into Sayaka again and tampered with her soul gem. As though trying to convince Sayaka about the "good" of having her soul out of her physical self.
"This is when you get pierced by a spear". Allowing Sayaka to feel the pain through the soul gem just doesn't quite fit the bill in convincing Sayaka in the benefits of a painless body. Sorry Kyubey, but that just isn't right no matter how it's phrased.
Knowing that her own body was a mere shell and what she really is, the soul gem, Sayaka took some time off from school to manage her feelings, while Madoka confronts Homura about the soul gem. Homura apparently knew about the secret and that was the reason why she told Madoka to give up on Sayaka since the path she had took was a path of no return. After Homura declares that Mami had died without knowing the truth to the soul gem, the overly kind Madoka questions about Homura's coldness towards the others. Not being human and your soul kept in a gem would most probably lead to the loss of emotional feelings anyway, which was what Homura gave as a reason.
With the truth of the contract spilled out, Kyouko decided to have a chat with Sayaka and brought her to a church which was previously owned by her father. Kyouko shared about her path to becoming a Mahou Shoujo, which reinforced her point of living without using magic for others. Her father was the previous owner of the church but as he looked upon the teachings in another way, his followers decreased and everywhere the family when, they were ignored and looked down on. Kyubey became the solution for their family when Kyouko decided to form the pact with a large number of followers in return for the contract. However, her father later realises that the followers he had were all created by magic and called Kyouko a witch for doing so. An irony it was, when Kyouko's the one fighting the witches herself. Her father couldn't take it much longer and broke down, killing off the rest of the family, leaving Kyouko by herself.
That was when Kyouko made her resolution, after seeing how magic had ruined her family, she just didn't want to risk it, using magic to help others might backfire in the end.
Sayaka however remained determined as a Mahou Shoujo to eliminate the threats and wouldn't regret her actions either.
Unfortunately for the two, the different mindset just doesn't sit well with each other. Would have preferred them to form a new friendship though.
The following day, Ryousuke returned to school which incidentally sparked the interest from Hitomi who later reveals that she had loved Kyousuke for a long time and asked for Sayaka's connection with him. Sayaka, who's still unable to follow her true feelings, was still in a state of shock about what Hitomi had told her. Hitomi however, still gave Sayaka some time to take action before she confesses. This makes me wonder if Hitomi was actually in love with Kyousuke but had not decided to take action due to Kyousuke's handicap. Or that she had lied to spur Sayaka forward to force her to take action on her true feelings before she regrets it in the future. Do hope that it is the later that is true.
Later that night, Sayaka and Kyubey embark on another witch hunt and this time, Madoka decides to follow her again to keep her company. Having heard those words from Hitomi, Sayaka breaks down on Madoka, telling her that she might have started to regret accepting the contract. Not being able to hold or kiss Kyousuke with her real self is indeed sank into her own heart and she'll never be able to get into a relationship with Kyousuke with her body being only a shell. And this time, Hitomi was going to take Kyousuke away from her.
With the emotions being let out, the trio heads to the witch. Kyouko didn't barged in to steal the witch away from Sayaka and Homura arrived to check on them, and wondered about why Kyouko wouldn't want to take action when a Grief Seed was right in front of her.
Kyouko then noticed that Sayaka was losing and rushed into the barrier, rescuing Sayaka from the grip of the witch. Sayaka however, told the rest to stay back and started engaging the witch once again. This time however, Sayaka took all the attacks head on and continues to rush forward. Having an invincible body and painlessness seemed to have taken the toll on Sayaka.
A breakdown.
Kyouko definitely wasn't a badass like how she looked but had previously attempted to use magic for someone else and it backfired. Maybe that was the reason for her to find Sayaka instead since she did have a similar circumstance as her. Believing that she didn't make a mistake and would definitely not regret it, Sayaka began to have second thoughts since what she did for Kyousuke did indeed seemed to have backfired now, since Kyousuke, once returned back to school, there will definitely be more competition for him now compared to being in the hospital where Sayaka was the only one that cared for him. Looking at how Sayaka had broke down, it did seemed to happen sooner or later after all the stress the others were giving her. And knowing that whatever she does wouldn't be exactly her since it was just a shell, and that possible, she began to doubt if her feelings for Kyousuke still remained true after becoming a Mahou Shoujo. Another episode down and Madoka's still away from Kyubey... Saving the rest of the other Mahou Shoujos and making herself as the sole fighter does seem possible now too.

GOSICK 6
With Avril now properly enrolled into the school, her interest in finding secrets never did overwhelm Kujo, after discovering secret exits in the compound. Having such interest doesn't really benefit much i guess, since it could be a risk with her poking around too much and got all caught up in another mystery again.
Kujo seems to have quite a bad affinity with magicians as well. Imagine having your textbooks made "magically disappear" and in exchange, you receive a fancy hat.
Not that i detest the hat, but that exchange just wasn't really fair. Furthermore, the loss of his textbook doesn't seem to have a large impact on Kujo either and continued to shop around with Avril until they witness a nun selling off antique goods. Avril picked up one of the boxes which burst open in a puff of smoke and birds flew out of it, similar to the previous magician whom Kujo had silently and unknowingly got into his ban list. Instead of the box poof-ing out smoke and birds, it poofed out a new mystery to interest the Golden Fairy once again. One of the antique plate had disappeared in the midst of the commotion.
Passively, Kujo heads to the library and gives Victorique the headstart to the small crime. Yawns~, was what Kujo received and such a small crime doesn't even require much thought from the Golden Fairy. Unlike Kujo. After allowing Victorique to wear the fancy hat that Kujo had unwillingly exchanged for his textbooks, the inspector arrives at the garden and was shocked to see Victorique in that getup as she had looked very alike to her late mother, Cordelia, who was a dancer.
It was deciphered that the criminal was most likely the nun herself through 3 possible outcomes that VIctorique came up with after hearing the description from ex-grim reaper:
The culprit was most likely the nun herself.
1. With her legs spread out while sitting down, she was most likely hiding the birds in the cage below her and released them at the right time.
2. The exploding box was most likely used to distract Avril and the rest to get enough time to release the birds below her.
3. With the attention all onto the birds in the sky, the nun grabs the plate and place it under her before claiming that it vanished.
Now that's some rather good observations...
And of course after cracking such a simple crime, Victorique got all bored again and Kujo gave her an article, listing the "Village of the Grey Wolves" and it's attempt to pull people who were curious about it. Reading it with intense concentration tripping over Kujo's leg, Victorique still managed her composure and asked Kujo to eat a snack on the floor, which he had smashed earlier, in return for tripping her.
Kujo suspects that Victorique might be extra sensitive to pain and out of curiosity, Kujo stupidly flicked her forehead, ultimately resulting in tears out of embarrassment.
Victorique then shuts Kujo for flicking her after resolving not to talk to him again. Kujo, who was the mastermind and had even went along with the tantrum and the cold war between the Golden Fairy and the Grim Reaper begun.
Victorique did showed some interest in the Village and attempted to sneak out of the town before she got found out by Kujo, who repacked her luggage once again and ended up going to the village with her. Incidentally, the nun whom was suspected of stealing the plate was also on the train heading towards the village. Kujo better hope he hasn't removed some vital things in the luggage like the previous ghost ship incident. At this time, Victorique's still able to hold the "ignore Kujo by any means" attitude. However, reaching a nearby village, Victorique was suspected to be a Grey Wolf since there was a huge similarity between her and them, small body and blonde hair. Victorique didn't let the rumours affect her and stayed at the lodge for the night. Whilst sleepwalking, Victorique ended the cold war much to her dismay and later, decided to share about her past when Kujo asked for the reason that she had decided to head for the village.
Turns out that Victorique's later mother was from the village of the grey wolves and was exiled when her mother was discovered to be a murderer and Victorique had headed to the village to prove her mother's innocence. Heading up the mountains with the rest of the travelers, Victorique wasn't welcomed by the villages after what her mother had done, but the chief allowed her to pass, announcing that her arrival is to be celebrated, in coincidence with their festival.
That village chief does already seem suspicious and i suspect him to be the antagonist of this arc. Hopefully this arc would be more significant than the rest, with a direct link with Victorique's past. The early crime has yet to be solved yet with the nun appearing to be a traveler to the village as well. Kinda similar to the previous headless cyclist and the fake Avril Bradley? Crossing my fingers to hope that this arc would be better than the rest and HOPEFULLY a little more complicated :)
