Give the child a little shock to the world view

Six years ago, Rika Shanshan was 22 years old.

She finished college in Miracle City, walked through the school road where cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and stood in front of the school gate in a daze for a long time.

Her former partner terminated the contract with Gemmon before her and decided to continue his medical studies as an ordinary person, preparing for the medical qualification examination... and is now busy with that.

In other words, the only magical girl left in this city is Rika Sugiyama.

Her partner Ayasa Terasaki left so quickly that she was left alone without any time to react. When she wanted to look for her, she discovered that she was preparing for an exam, so it would not be a good idea to disturb her now.

Rika Shanshan was confused: What should she do in the future?

The magical girl's work has actually come to an end. After resolving the spiritual vein crisis, most of the monsters were forced to flee due to her strength. Even the most troublesome gentleman of the abyss has lost any news... In short, everything is over.

After completing her studies, Rika Sugiyama realized that the career of magical girls had actually ended a few years ago. She was completely free, and as long as she handed over the Jewelmon to the next magical girl, she would be free to do what she liked.

Friends who once fought together have already entered society early and are busy with their own lives. They don’t usually have much time to get together and play.

Even if I fly to their homes, most of the time my friends don't have the time or energy to entertain me, let alone join me in activities like before.

The era of magical girls has passed. When you take off this shiny and cool outer layer, you will find that you are just an ordinary girl inside.

Rika Sugiyama's brain is not that outstanding, and she took the college entrance examination because she wanted to continue to have common topics with Terasaki Ayasa. During her college years, both monsters and demons fell into an ice age of activity, and there were no difficult incidents to deal with.

After graduation, she had to think about an important issue.

If she didn't become a magical girl, what would she want to do?

Rika Sugiyama doesn't have any more plans for her future. She feels that she has always been staying in Miracle City. She has to go to school and maintain order as a magical girl, and she has no time to develop her own interests.

Apart from her strong talent in magic, Rika Shanshan's qualifications in other areas can only be described as mediocre. She could learn if she worked hard, but she couldn't muster up interest, and it was difficult for her to excel and make further progress.

But... do I really want to continue on the path of magic?

Rika Shanshan wasn't sure.

Everyone has walked out of the magical world and rushed towards their own future, only I am still staying where I am.

I wanted to find Caisha, but she was busy...

Shanlihua, an older child, had a bitter face, feeling that the future was uncertain and he didn't know what to do.

After the animation ends successfully, the faces of the magical girls with laughter and tears will be frozen in the cheerful or lyrical background music. The audience knows that they defeated the enemy and won a happy ending, but what about the future?

I have come into contact with such a gorgeous and magical world, comprehended the beauty of the sky, and experienced cruel battles... Although I can still have a campus life that is no different from that of ordinary people, something is still different from before.

Not to mention Rika Sugiyama, a magical girl whose half body has been transformed into magical elements and is now quite different from humans.

The trauma left in the battle was quite disturbing to her.

Four years ago, she went to the Spiritual Vein to stop the Abyss Gentleman from detonating the Spiritual Vein. Afterwards, she told her friends that she had successfully prevented the explosion before the other party detonated it, so the Spiritual Vein was unharmed.

But the fact is, the spiritual vein was indeed damaged, but it was repaired by her.

The moment her spiritual vein was destroyed, she was pulled into a realm that no human could reach.

Under the "sea surface" that broke through the ice, she saw the sleeping face of the [God].

I can no longer remember the appearance of [God]. Perhaps my brain is unable to remember such a face.

But Shanshan Lihua still remembers that her immobile body was immersed in warm liquid magic. Under the clear water, the slowly opening golden eyes were so huge.

Compared to the gentle eyes that occupied her entire vision and had no end, she was like a speck of dust, floating in the blue waves of the eyes.

Rika Shanshan recalled the battle that changed her life, and unknowingly walked to the observation deck on the mountain.

At this moment, night fell, and the lights along the way turned on one by one, casting a warm light. She rested her elbows on the railing, leaned out slightly, and looked towards the city.

As long as she focused, she could see the magic power flowing. The world before her eyes was completely different from the past. A huge amount of information converged into her brain. She ignored that information and saw the scene below.

The city at night is lit up with neon lights, the lights interweaving into a brilliant ocean of light, and vehicles with their headlights on form a torrent of steel on the road.

This is the city she protects, just as it always has been.

Shanshan Lihua always remained silent when she was alone. She looked at the dark purple night sky and retracted her body.

It's still a bit cold at night, so I'd better go back first...

...? !

The retiring magical girl, who was still quite relaxed, suddenly had a stern look in her eyes. The prismatic gem hanging on her chest flashed a bright red light. She looked in the direction where the strange feeling came from.

——All I saw was the sky being torn apart, and a blazing black flame lit up behind the void.

Something has come into this world.

Because the world barrier was torn open, things [outside] also began to stir, and even the spiritual veins began to boil.

Countless monsters emerged from underground, attacking pedestrians with bared fangs and claws!

When Rika Sugiyama completed her transformation and went to rescue, the street was already in chaos.

Looking back now, the monsters that night were not difficult to deal with, but the area affected was large, and we had to divert our energy to repair the world barrier, which delayed us for so long.

That was Rika Sugiyama's last battle.

During that battle, she picked up a child who was too thin and wrapped in clothes that were too big.

He looked to be in his early teens. He appeared by the wall at some point and sat quietly against it.

Just watched Shanshan Lihua's battle in emptiness and silence.

His eyebrows were lowered obediently, and he looked pale and delicate, like a doll wearing ill-fitting clothes, and it seemed that he would close his eyes at any moment.

She didn't feel any confusion, nor did she have any longing for the magic boy's battle. She didn't have any of the things that Shanshan Lihua could see in the eyes of children of the same age.

Lifeless, his chest rising and falling faintly, as if he were an object.

Like the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, it has no sense of existence.

But Rika Sugiyama noticed the child who appeared suddenly.

After dealing with the chaos, before the next wave of monsters arrived, Rika Shanshan quickly flew over and wanted to take the child to a safe area.

"Please hold my hand, I will take you to a safe place!" she said anxiously, but the child did not give her the expected response.

The child looked like he had no strength left and couldn't move. He just stared blankly at her as she approached, as if he had not yet recovered from the severe blow he had suffered.

Shanshan Lihua had no choice but to pick up the child and fly.

When she held the child, she felt the small body in her arms was so cold and even trembling.

The other person's breathing was barely detectable and so weak that it seemed as if he would leave in the next moment.

After being picked up by himself, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Rika Shanshan felt her clothes were wet, perhaps from the child's tears.

After that, Rika Sugiyama's life changed once again, just like she became a magical girl.

...

"Oh, when I think of Mayumi at that time, I always feel that she was fragile and cute." In the crowded amusement park, Shanshan Lihua held popcorn in her left hand and two vanilla cones she just bought in her right hand, and said with a smile, "And she was also very clingy to me. I miss her so much."

She was out playing with her guardian, but he was having more fun than her. Mayumi Haga could only respond with a cold expression: “… Yeah.”

I was stimulated to shed rational tears by the opponent's flash bomb-like magic, and I couldn't stop crying in the opponent's arms... It's better not to recall such things.

But, to be honest, when I first came to this world, the moment I realized that I couldn't go back to my original world, I really couldn't care about anything.

At that time, I couldn’t tell the difference between the warm liquid flowing out of my eyes and I thought my tear glands had broken down long ago… but they turned out to be tears.

Mayumi Haga accepts her own weakness, but accepting it and being willing to let Rika Shanshan keep it in mind are two different things. At least now she is very annoyed by Rika Shanshan's playful smile.

However, before Mayumi Haga's expression became completely gloomy, Rika Sugiyama changed the subject: "But."

Mayumi Hanega: “?”

"Thinking about it now, it really was a great pleasure to bring Mayumi home at that time." Rika Sugiyama thought so sincerely.

She had no experience in raising children, nor had she thought that she would become the guardian of a ten-year-old child after graduating from college - the laws in this world were also very rough - she was not prepared at all, she just felt that Mayumi Hanega couldn't live without her, so she brought her back.

It turned out to be the right decision.

The arrival of Mayumi Haga brought a whole new life to Rika Sugiyama.

"In the beginning, it was Mayumi who took care of me." Rikka Sugiyama sighed. She didn't think it was shameful at all to be taken care of by a child younger than herself.

The reason is simple: Mayumi Haga gave her a completely different feeling from that of a ten-year-old child.

After her body recovered, she was able to take good care of the good-for-nothing master Shanshan Lihua.

By the way, Mayumi Haga just doesn't spend extra energy on taking care of herself, but if Rika Sugiyama is at home, she will still cook.

Although she still lacks a lot of common sense, Mayumi Haga was an adult who could travel alone for hundreds of years in her original world. Although she hardly spoke to anyone later on and it is unknown how much time she spent alone, her communication skills have declined a lot, but she is still better than Rika Sugiyama, an older child.

Rika Sugiyama confided almost all of her confusion about her future to Mayumi Haga.

"I don't know where to go... but if I just stay here, I think I can see the end of my life at a glance."

Mayumi Haga would listen carefully and then give suggestions.

"Don't you want to travel?"

"...Huh?" Shanshan Lihua looked confused, "How did you know that?"

"Your collection of books and web pages." When Mayumi Haga was learning about this world, she found a lot of travel guides and introductions in Rikka Sugiyama's house. She spoke a little haltingly, gradually adapting to the language of this world. "You really want to get out of here."

"Well. But it would be troublesome to travel, with language and cultural differences." Rikka Sugiyama was a little frustrated. "After all, my foreign language skills are not that good, and if I go alone..."

Absolutely not.

She wanted to go with Terasaki Ayasa, but she wouldn't be available for nearly ten years.

The black-haired child sat quietly opposite her, and upon hearing the words he just blinked silently in confusion.

For Mayumi Haga, traveling is her daily routine.

She is a traveler's soul wandering on the Alamo continent. For her, fate is to transport her soul to a more suitable place over and over again.

When she was young, she lived with her mother in the Far East. After her mother left, she traveled with Senior Urzana. After she became independent, she left Senior Urzana and rode on a horse, meeting and parting with strange faces as fate would have it.

Mayumi Haga actually likes traveling. For her, traveling is not wandering, but a wonderful cradle prepared for her by fate.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, the old flesh and blood continues to peel off, and a new Mayumi Haga is formed in new circumstances.

Because of the long river of life, she was able to meet her deceased old friends.

The old lady she had said goodbye to at the last intersection might be the newborn baby in the next village, and she would present a newborn gift to the baby. She had seen the mother of a child who had become a complete stranger during her travels, and she could only watch from a distance, not daring to approach. She had also presented flowers as a stranger at the child's funeral.

People will leave one day and reappear in front of her in a new look, perhaps still a person, or perhaps a bird, a tree, or wild flowers blooming under her feet.

She moves forward in such warmth. No matter which corner it is, it can become her home. Perhaps in the breeze, there is the gentle gaze of her mother.

But it is different now.

Mayumi Haga is a relic of the old world, and the fate of relics is to lie quietly in a box.

She had lost the motivation to continue traveling.

But Shanshan Lihua is different, she has not seen a wider world.

Therefore, Mayumi Haga encouraged Rika Sugiyama to leave Miracle City and start her own journey.

She is a rotten wood, lifeless, but her kind guardian is still young.

Chapter 1: Go and borrow it from Mayumi Yuga (- for the update)

Kagura Yuu...Maybe this is a bit of an unfamiliar name, but she is indeed one of the main characters.

Miss Kagura Yu, who feels that she is outside the core circle, has been troubled by one, no, two very important things recently.

Ever since she was attacked by a weirdo at school last time, she inexplicably fell asleep behind the school building. She caught a cold because she slept on the ground for too long and had a high fever that night so she had to stay at home to recuperate. Then she discovered that the little snake she picked up by chance had become strange.

He had clearly agreed that he didn't really want to make a contract, so he would help the other party find other people with magical qualifications, but for some reason, the little snake had been acting a little strange recently.

One of the things that bothered Kagura Yu was that the little snake was urging her to go back to school for some unknown reason.

She was weak to begin with, and being affected by the inexplicable weirdo and catching a cold and having a fever was already terrible enough. It was not easy for her to recover quickly, but the little snake was very impatient.

The reason seemed to be that a more suitable candidate was found in the school.

When Xiaoshe said this to her, he was a little obsessed: "If it's that child... he can definitely become my best partner."

It seemed like someone seen in a dream. Based on the scope of the dream, that child should also be a student of the school that Kagura Yu just transferred to.

That's why the little snake wants Kagura Yu to go to school quickly so that it can go back to find its dream partner.
