Give the child a little shock to the world view

However, in order to maintain this friendship, Tono Hitomi and Takajo Yuri never talk about these topics in front of Mayumi Haga, and their way of getting along is no different from before they became magical girls.

Of course, part of the reason was that matters related to magical girls needed to be kept secret, so the two of them were trembling in hiding it from Mayumi Hanega.

Although Mayumi Haga herself has completely seen through the identities of the two through the simplest method of hair color identification.

Yuri Takajo's hair color is actually not as unique as blue or pink. She is a mixed-race, so it is normal for her to have blonde hair.

Her golden wavy hair is smooth and delicate, her smile is calm and gentle, and her sky-blue eyes always give people beautiful associations. Although she has a mixed-race face, she gives people the impression of a Yamato Nadeshiko, with a tolerant and gentle personality.

If you just look at the surface, Takajo Yuri should be the one with the best personality among the three.

[Xiao Tong, what happened yesterday?] After Tono Hitomi entered the telepathic communication range, Takajo Yuri couldn't help but ask about what happened yesterday in front of Haga Mayumi.

After all, Tono Hitomi is known to be full of energy, the type of idiot who has endless energy. But last night, she took a sick leave for the first time, and combined with the attack of the weirdos at the mall, it's hard not to worry.

[No, nothing happened...] Even when they were talking on the phone, Touno Hitomi's tone was vague.

She didn't really want her friends to worry about her, so she pretended to be nothing.

And I don’t know where to start with the reason for his mental depression... Could it be that he was scared because he saw someone with a broken arm?

It’s better not to tell Lily about that kind of thing.

When Tono Hitomi thought of this, she smiled as usual.

Mayumi Haga, who accidentally heard all of these conversations:

got used to.

Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot hear the telepathic communications between magical girls.

Because this is a special channel established by the magical girl's contracted jewelmon, people who have not made a contract with any weird things cannot capture this frequency.

Mayumi Haga has made a contract with her original world, and perhaps because of this, she can also hear the magical girl's thoughts.

If she wants to enter the channel and speak, she can do so...but she is not that boring.

Just pretend you didn't hear anything.

Mayumi Haga calmly looked away and returned to her seat.

She pulled out her chair with her left hand, and sure enough, she felt something strange when moving her newly grown arm.

There may be an error of a few tenths of a millimeter during precision operations, but it does not affect daily use.

Since coming to this world, Mayumi Haga has never regenerated a limb. After losing an old arm on a whim yesterday, she found that her body was too relaxed and the regeneration speed could not keep up with the peak period.

Of course, his body is only sixteen years old now and he still needs to continue to develop. Naturally, he cannot compare to the guardian Mayumi Haga who maintains a young age.

But the fact that "she has become weaker" still makes Mayumi Haga feel extremely unhappy.

It's really too lax.

Even in this peaceful and safe world, I, as a weapon, should not become dull.

No matter how your guardians and friends tell you after you come into this world that you don't have to be so tense, you shouldn't just believe it.

Obviously we still need to fight.

Humans are creatures that can get hurt and die.

But I won’t.

She subconsciously pressed her trembling left hand, which was clenched into a fist, under the table, and then resumed her breathing.

"Mayumi?" Takajo Yuri, who was sitting next to her, keenly noticed her strange mood and asked with concern, "Were you scared yesterday?"

The black-haired girl came back to her senses, with just the right amount of confusion on her face. She was still as frugal with her words as usual: "...It's okay."

In Takajo Yuri's impression, her friend was always so plain, sometimes seemed aloof, and more often seemed detached.

But he is not a bad person, and it is actually very comfortable to get along with him.

At least Takajo Yuri likes this friend very much.

Seeing Mayumi and Xiaotong’s reactions, something must have happened yesterday.

——I have to ask carefully.

Takajo Yuri still had a gentle smile on her face, but for some reason, Tohno Hitomi and Haga Mayumi, who were immersed in their own thoughts, couldn't help shivering.

Mayumi Hanega was a little depressed: ...Strange.

I always feel a chill down my spine.

Her intuition was always accurate. She sensed that something bad was about to happen, so she became extremely alert.

After class, he disappeared immediately.

Takajo Yuri looked at Mayumi Haga's fleeing back and had no intention of chasing after her.

She shook her head and set her sights on Tono Hitomi, who had been dozing off due to lack of sleep last night and had laid down to catch up on her sleep after class.

Tono Hitomi was unaware of the approaching danger and was still sleeping soundly.

Mayumi Haga left the classroom, actually just planning to buy a bottle of drink from the vending machine in the corridor. After buying, she returned to the classroom and entered the classroom just in time for the bell to ring.

The plan was going well, but something unexpected happened.

She inserted the coin into the slot and selected iced coffee.

A new scene popped up on the vending machine's screen.

"Congratulations on winning the prize! Please take the free bear pendant home!" On the screen, there is a silly little bear dancing in circles.

Along with the coffee can, there fell out a little bear ornament that would never appear in a vending machine.

Chapter 5 Miss Sadness

Sadness wants to be close to the person who always exudes incomprehensible painful emotions.

Even though the other person was her enemy, under the influence of the bitter yet almost sweet sadness, she found it difficult to resist her desire to get close to him.

She had never seen such a person before. On the surface, he looked expressionless and indifferent, but his heart was always turbulent, like an unstable bomb.

She wanted to get closer to the surging emotions that made her evolve rapidly, wanted to understand where the other person's emotions came from, and wanted to know more about the other person.

Why are you always unhappy? Why are you always crying? What can you do to make the other person happy?

Although Sadness feeds on sadness, she doesn't like the bitter taste. This may be a contradictory attribute born from this worldview. Although she is a weirdo, her personality is as straightforward as a child. She really likes to see smiles on other people's faces more than suffering.

Just like among her brothers and sisters, there are very few weirdos who really like the taste of negative emotions.

Bitter yet sweet, an emotion that gives people an extreme feeling of being on the verge of collapse...Sadness is attracted to such complex and introverted people, and tries every means to get close to them.

It was like a moth being attracted by the blazing flame.

So, she placed a small makeshift body of her own in a vending machine near that person's class.

The evolution of her core meant that her intelligence had surpassed that of a child, and she was now able to think like a normal adult. However, her lack of experience in life still prevented Sadness from anticipating Mayumi Yuga's next move.

Miss Sadness used the two black grape-like eyes of the little bear pendant to carefully look at Mayumi Hanega who she picked up with a slightly frown.

Because she evolved through the other person's feelings, Miss Sadness can actually find Mayumi Haga by smelling her scent. Out of selfishness, she didn't even tell her brothers and sisters, and came here alone.

After I came here, I realized...isn't this the base camp of magical girls?

Miss Sorrow was shocked.

Although I don't know who the troublesome magical girl is, according to my brother's previous investigation, Crimson and Iris should be students of this school.

Once when he was drinking with a weirdo from another series, he heard that the other party saw red and golden lights flying out of this school.

Miss Sadness felt something was wrong.

Magical girls are nosy people. If they are unfortunately discovered, their plans will be completely disrupted.

But don't get discovered...

The face of the brown bear pendant unexpectedly showed a bit of solemnity.

The next second, Mayumi Hanega's gaze swept over her and she returned to her original expression.

Mayumi Hanega stared at the extremely suspicious little bear pendant in silence, her inner suspicion having reached its peak.

But the school bell had already rung, and she was worried that the pendant might be a dangerous item like a bomb placed in the school by a weirdo. Without hesitation, she put the bear pendant into the pocket of her pleated skirt.

Then, she put it into the alien backpack where she stored equipment and materials.

In this way, even if there is an explosion inside, it will not affect the outside world.

Come to think of it, I haven’t checked my backpack in a long time.

I seem to have stuffed a lot of things in there randomly before... I hope it won't become a mess.

At least the limbs and organs that have been replaced but not disposed of will not be damaged, and the monster materials are still alive... It is a little troublesome to dispose of them in this world, after all, they can't be thrown anywhere.

Take some time sometime to take stock of it.

Thinking of this, Mayumi Hanega picked up the iced coffee, walked quickly towards the classroom, and returned to her seat before the last bell rang.

She noticed that Tono Hitomi, who was originally drowsy, now looked exhausted and slumped in her seat.

When the other person weakly took out the textbook for this Chinese class, Mayumi Hanega stuffed the bottle of iced coffee into his hand before the teacher arrived.

Toono Hitomi was caught off guard by this and her almond-shaped eyes widened as if she was a surprised kitten, and she turned to look over.

Mayumi Haga did not respond to the silly expression that Tohno Hitomi made towards her, but instead focused on her studies and took out her books.

[Iced coffee~! Mayumi is so good——] Tono Hitomi was unable to make eye contact with Haga Mayumi, so she happily showed off to Takajo Yuri.

Takajo Yuri helplessly: [We can drink after class.]

[I feel very energetic when I hold it!] Tono Hitomi was very happy, but suddenly hesitated. She paused for a moment and was confused. […Huh? Why does this iced coffee smell like a weirdo?]

[Weird?] Takajo Yuri was alert, [Although it was very faint, it was indeed.]

[So weak.] Tono Hitomi muttered.

[We can’t take it lightly. Let’s ask her about it in detail after class.] Takajo Yuri couldn’t help but glance over at her. She saw Mayumi Haga listening attentively, with nothing unusual.

Is there some weirdo targeting Mayumi?

Takajo Yuri always feels a little worried.

The two magical girls waited absentmindedly until the get out of class was over. When the bell rang for lunch break, they looked at each other and walked over.

They gathered around Mayumi Haga's desk, exchanged glances twice, and decided that Hitomi Tohno should ask first.

The girl with short black hair looked up and waited quietly for the two to speak.

"Ahem... ahem." Tono Hitomi was also a little uncomfortable. "Mayumi, um, where did you buy the iced coffee you gave me?"

Mayumi Haga looked at her as if she were a fool.

Hitomi Tono usually drinks that brand of coffee, so pretending to be drinking it for the first time is really a poor acting. Besides, there is only so much time between classes in school, so apart from the vending machine in the corridor... where else can you buy it?

But, give her a way out.

Mayumi Haga replied: "I bought it from the vending machine, and it came with a charm... Are you interested?"

As he said this, he pretended to take something out of his pocket, but in fact he was rummaging around in the backpack in the alien space for a while, and finally found the pendant that was submerged in the unknown piece of meat.

Oh? It didn't explode. That's good.

She took out the bear ornament and placed it on the table.

At this moment, the strange aura that originally remained on it has completely disappeared, and it seems to have turned into an ordinary pendant.

Because it seemed to have been attacked by monster materials in the backpack, the little bear pendant was now cut in half, looking tattered and extremely miserable.

Facing the surprised looks of Takajo Yuri and Tono Hitomi, Mayumi Haga remained calm: "It got stuck when I took it out from the delivery port. I pulled it a little harder and it broke."

“Yes, that’s right…” Tono Hitomi smiled awkwardly.

Even though I don’t understand what’s going on, I can just smile…right?

At the same time, sadness escaped in an instant.

Her face turned pale as gold paper, and she rushed to the corner and hugged the trash can.

Big tears washed down, and if the stuffed bear's body was still used, the entire face of the stuffed bear would definitely be wet with tears.

Although as a weirdo she didn't need to eat, her stomach felt inexplicably churning. When she thought back to what she had seen in that mysterious dark space, Miss Sadness felt like something in her throat was about to burst out.

"Wow... Ugh..."
