Give the child a little shock to the world view

The stern and straight figure was quietly reflected in the pink pupils.

Although the footage was a bit shaky, it was much clearer than surveillance video.

The person who took these shots was a reporter who had taken a leave to see a doctor... He was a war correspondent most of the time, so when he encountered big news, he would immediately take out his phone to take pictures. Judging from the angle, he must have taken the pictures from a corner, behind the person who was used as a seedbed.

After the monster crawled out of the mouth of the seedling bed, the hands of the photographer were shaking. After all, the battles between magicians that we usually see are not so thrilling, this time it was unexpectedly scary.

The bug seemed to be ready to pounce on the reporter closest to it, scaring the reporter so much that he dropped his phone on the ground. The camera lens was also turned upside down, and spots of purple liquid splashed in front of the lens, almost blurring it.

It slid to the feet of Miss Guardian, but she paid no attention to it.

But the camera moved from bottom to top, capturing the face of Miss Guardian who was arguing with the magical girl Iris.

To be honest, if you are not mentally prepared, you will be scared by the horrible scar on the other person's face.

Those cold golden eyes and the tightly pursed lower lip were particularly impressive.

There was even a moment when the guardian lady lowered her eyes and saw the camera, giving people the illusion of looking into it.

Just that subtle moment of eye contact makes people sit up straight subconsciously.

Strange... I always feel like something is familiar.

Is it my own illusion?

Although no one around her had such a scar, Tono Hitomi inexplicably sensed a sense of familiarity in the other person's eyes...

...I seem to have seen such a look somewhere before.

Ah, it really looks like this.

She thought she had forgotten it long ago, but the moment she met his gaze, she remembered what happened six years ago.

Six years ago, Mayumi, who had just moved to this area with her sister Rihua, also had the same feeling.

He is very handsome, but when he is alone he shows a sad expression.

It's almost exactly the same as the previous Mayumi.

It seemed as if something slipped through Hitomi Tono's mind, and she was unable to catch the sudden flash of inspiration in time.

After thinking blankly for a long time, Tono Hitomi finally understood why she cared so much about that stranger and why she had been so selfish before.

Because she is very similar to Mayumi, and reminds me of Mayumi who was in a terrible doll-like condition six years ago, so as a nosy person, I absolutely cannot leave her alone.

Tono Hitomi decided that, whether out of selfishness or for the sake of the monsters, she must have a good talk with the other party the next time they meet.

Well! No matter what method you use, let's keep the other person next time and talk face to face!

Let’s start with words, and one day we will be able to open our hearts to each other and become good friends.

Then we will be able to fight together and cover each other, so the other side won't be hurt so easily.

Just looking at the other person getting injured made Tono Hitomi feel so painful.

After thinking about what to do next, Hitomi Tono, who had been a little depressed, became full of energy again. She wanted to find the guardian lady immediately and make friends with her.

However, even though she was anxious, she knew that the other party would not appear in front of her immediately.

The first time that person appeared was in the mall. When she was entangled by the Gentleman of the Abyss, she dealt with the Sad Teddy Bear and protected everyone.

The second time was in the hospital, where we defeated the monster and saved many people.

Although the words to Lily were a bit rude, based on the nature of the monster given by the senior doctor later, it was probably because he wanted to prevent Lily's magic power from being corroded and injured, which was a bit rude.

And he also saved Mayumi.

The two times Miss Guardian had appeared so far were both when the magical girls present were unable to fully deal with the enemy.

By the way, the pool of unknown liquid left by Miss Guardian in the hospital also turned into orange juice. After inspection, it should be the same substance as the orange juice that Sister Lihua had taken earlier.

That makes three times. Every time he failed to stop her.

Unless she showed up on her own initiative, it would not be easy to find her. After all, Miss Guardian had no magic power and could not use tracking magic.

After all, the medium that can be used for tracking magic has been drunk by Mayumi... Considering the true identity of the orange juice, it is better not to let Mayumi herself know about this.

It doesn’t matter. Hitomi Tono is already prepared to wait ten days or half a month before meeting the other person.

Having made up her mind, Tono Hitomi ran into the Guardian lady during her night patrol about three hours later.

——The guardian lady was being entangled by a monster holding her legs.

Chapter 18 Little Bear

"Let go!" After being entangled by the teddy bear that was only as high as her calves, Mayumi Hanega's patience was almost exhausted. She frowned and shouted at Miss Sadness who was holding on to her relentlessly.

Miss Sadness let out a loud sob, and a round snot bubble popped out of the little black nose of the stuffed bear: "No, I won't let go."

What's going on with this weirdo?

Mayumi Haga just felt a splitting headache.

The story began about half an hour ago.

Due to health reasons, Mayumi Haga was urged by Rikka Sugiyama to go to bed early.

I didn't notice that she had a bad heart before, but now I have to take it seriously.

However, Mayumi Haga's sleep quality has always been poor.

I used to always have nightmares, and now they are even worse. I toss and turn in bed for a long time and cannot fall asleep. I have no desire to sleep.

As long as I close my eyes, those past events and the resentful words that I don’t want to recall will keep echoing in my mind.

Mayumi Haga then opened her eyes again, put her arms behind her head, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

She could hear Sugiyama Rika taking over the night patrol from Takajo Yuri who was in poor condition, while Touno Hitomi went home to rest for a while and then go over when monsters and demons appeared.

After Rika Sugiyama left, she was the only one left in the apartment. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and Mayumi Haga could hear her own gentle breathing.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the window.

Mayumi Haga turned around when she heard the sound, only to see a furry doll head popping out from the open windowsill.

The round ears of the teddy bear appeared in her sight, followed by the cute little bear face, short limbs and round belly.

According to the design, the body of the stuffed bear is not suitable for climbing up the water pipe from downstairs.

The teddy bear looked extremely tired. After climbing up, it did not bother to look inside the house. It first collapsed on the windowsill, gasping for breath with its belly bulging. After taking a short break, it climbed up clumsily and wiped away the non-existent sweat with a "whoosh".

At this time, the stuffed bear noticed a pair of dark eyes staring at him silently: "Wow?!"

She was almost frightened to the point of sitting back and flipping out of the windowsill.

Mayumi Haga: ...What a stupid weirdo.

After six years in this world, she naturally knew some famous weirdos. For example, the weirdos in the negative emotions area all had unique personalities and were quite difficult to deal with.

However, among her brothers and sisters, [Sadness] is also well-known for being a loser.

Although he is a weirdo who feeds on emotions like "sadness" to strengthen himself, he doesn't like others to be depressed, so he chooses to live in a doll body that has no offensive power. He is also clumsy when attacking others, and he does nothing but cry every day. I don't know what his role is.

Even if he came to seek revenge for the previous two incidents, Mayumi Haga didn't think that the other party could hurt her.

What's more, he came with such a weak body, she could separate his head and body with just one hand.

The more troublesome thing is, if Shanshan Lihua and the others run into a situation where a strange person is looking for trouble with me, how am I going to explain it?

Mayumi Haga doesn't want her guardian and friends to know about her troubles.

For her, that dark past was not something she could boast about, and she didn't want others to touch her scars.

If the people around her knew the true identity of the guardian... no matter how hard she thought about it, Mayumi Haga believed that they would only be alienated and look at her in fear as if they were a monster.

In this world, her existence is indeed an anomaly. If she wants to continue living like this, she must hide this anomaly.

And the weirdo in front of him is the biggest threat to his identity that he wants to hide.

Thinking of this, Mayumi Hanega's eyes became more and more unfriendly.

And the little bear, huddled in such a cold and harsh gaze like in winter, spoke: "...Hello?"

After the core entered the body of the doll, the little bear's voice became somewhat childish, which is in line with children's imagination of the voice of a doll bear.

The black-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were indifferent and cold: "What do you want from me?"

If Touno Hitomi and the others saw such a hostile attitude, they would definitely be shocked.

After all, Mayumi Haga was just a little silent on weekdays. Overall, she was a person who was easy to get along with but a little awkward. It was also because she regarded them as hard-earned friends that her attitude was much more moderate.

I have never seen Mayumi Haga openly hiding her hostility towards the little bear like she is now.

And... this is a stuffed bear. Clumsy and cute, a useless weirdo that makes it hard for people to feel hostile to him. His harmless appearance easily makes people let down their guard.

Mayumi Haga, however, treated the other party as an enemy without hesitation and had a cold and hard attitude.

What kind of stone heart is this?

The little bear was looked down upon, but he was not discouraged.

She jumped down from the windowsill with a "whoosh" and landed with difficulty, her calves clacking on the floor.

When she jumped off the windowsill, Mayumi Hanega had already sat up vigilantly, watching her approach nervously.

The little bear looked up and spoke softly, wrapping his hands around the doll's paw a little nervously, after all, he couldn't make a finger move: "Because you are sad, I came here to eat."

She feeds on sadness. People in this world are too optimistic, so she can only get a bite of food occasionally.

But Mayumi Haga is different. She is a rare female character, and to Little Bear, her sadness has an irresistible flavor.

Besides, if I help eat it, maybe Mayumi won’t be sad?

While trying to find a way to get close to Mayumi Haga, Kuma saw her real name on the student list and tilted her head in thought.

"I can help you eat away your sad emotions and even memories, so that you won't be unable to sleep and won't have nightmares anymore."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and tilted her face upward, waiting expectantly for Mayumi Haga's answer.

In this case, Mayumi will not refuse, right? This is a happy option for everyone!

The little bear suggested this, on the one hand because she was really hungry, and on the other hand, after eating a little bit of sadness that Mayumi Haga had overflowed, she felt a little confused and wanted to do something for Mayumi Haga.

I don't want Mayumi to be so sad anymore, and I don't like the look on that face that looks like it's about to cry.

Because of this, he took advantage of the fact that the magical girls and magicians were not here and quietly came over to meet Mayumi.

If I act a little more harmless as I normally would, it should be somewhat convincing.

The little bear, who gained full intelligence after evolution, also has his own little thoughts.

But Mayumi Haga's reaction was beyond her expectations.

The expression on the black-haired girl's face froze, and then a gloomy, fierce, and offended look appeared on her face.

Chapter 19: Soft-hearted

The little bear subconsciously stepped back and raised his hands to protect his head.

The moment he saw Mayumi Hanega's expression turn gloomy, Xiao Xiong felt that he must have said something wrong and stepped on the other party's minefield.

The scene of having one of his arms chopped off by the opponent flashed before his eyes. The little bear, who always felt that he would be torn into pieces in the next second, trembled and shrank into the corner.

But unexpectedly, the gloom seemed to only flash across Mayumi Yuga's face. The girl quickly regained her calm expression and did not immediately draw her sword to cut the teddy bear into pieces.

"Get out." The girl's voice was very calm, without the expected anger. "I can pretend that you never said such a thing."

Little Bear carefully observed her expression and found that Mayumi Yuga didn't seem very angry. Then he had the courage to ask in a low voice: "...Are you angry?"

"..." Mayumi Yuga didn't mean to answer her. She just got out of bed, grabbed her in her hand, and prepared to throw her out of the window.

Mayumi Haga's personality is not as violent as Xiao Xiong imagined.

People think she is very violent, probably because they were enemies when they first met, so Mayumi Haga attacked her without mercy.

But Mayumi Haga herself is not the type to get angry at others because of herself. No matter what happens during a battle, as long as she is not considered an enemy, she can maintain maximum patience.

The former guardian said that her character was too weak and she would always suffer in silence, and she should be tougher. Later, when the senior was confused by death and lost his mind, and insulted her as a poor creature after resurrection, Mayumi Haga just digested her emotions silently.

After all, in many cases, her own emotions are not important compared to the things that need her protection.

What's more, this stupid weirdo only made such a ridiculous suggestion when he was ignorant of the situation. Although Mayumi Hanega was unhappy, she would not vent her anger on this weirdo who came to please her.

At least, when Little Bear said that he could help her digest her sadness, she didn't feel any hostility from him.
