But there was nothing Kagura Yu could do about this, after all, it took her several days to recover.
Kagura Yu's other worry... is that the little snake has become a little strange.
Even though he had only been with the little snake for a few days, Kagura Yuya had become quite familiar with this simple-minded jewel beast, and was very familiar with the little snake's awkward and tsundere tone.
This gem beast has a bit of a big tongue when it speaks, and its voice is soft, which is actually very cute.
But sometimes, the little snake, which has obviously fallen asleep, will suddenly speak in a different tone.
The tone is completely different from the usual little snake's.
If this purple gem beast was usually a child with a very arrogant temper, at that time, the tone of the little snake talking to Kagura Yu was more mature. Although it was still arrogant, it had a different feeling.
Rather than a grumpy child, the little snake at that time was more like... a much more mature woman.
Even if it’s just a few words, words that place the emphasis on a completely different place and whose accent changes subtly can hook the flesh of the heart.
The tone of her voice, which had an ancient accent and changed inadvertently, made people feel like a gorgeous flower growing wildly.
[She] used her snake-like body to crawl onto Kagura Yu's pillow in the middle of the night. After Kagura Yu was woken up, she said unhappily, "Hey, little girl."
"...Hmm?" Kagura Yu opened her eyes dazedly, and saw the little snake's eyes turned red. She was a little unresponsive, so she rubbed her eyes and said, "What's wrong...little snake."
[She] stuck out her tongue and hissed twice: "Do me a favor."
"What's the matter, little snake? Let's talk about it tomorrow." Kagura Yu, who has no school tomorrow and is now very sleepy after playing games with her cousin at home all night, muttered.
The little snake, whose eyes turned red, just looked at her quietly.
...Wait, why did the little snake's eyes turn red?
Kagura Yu then realized belatedly that the other person looked a little strange.
She was half awakened from her sleep and sat up hastily, almost knocking the little snake off her pillow.
"Little snake? Why did your eyes become like this?" She hurriedly tried to catch the little snake, but the little snake, unable to bear her slow reaction, whipped the back of her hand with its tail, "Does it hurt?!"
Kagura Yu cried out in pain and withdrew her hand.
However, the little snake still restrained its strength and did not really use any force. It was just a rejection behavior because it did not like others touching it.
Even if she borrowed this body temporarily, she didn't want to be treated like an animal by the irritable little brat.
The remnant soul from another world in this body is very picky and is very dissatisfied with the little snake body it is currently using.
After giving all her remaining strength to Mayumi Haga, she thought she was going to disappear, but it happened that the idiot was holding the snake in his arms, so she simply tried to possess the snake.
In [her] original world, possession was not a simple matter. It required witchcraft and rituals to transfer consciousness to a new body. Even she had not fully learned how to transfer consciousness.
It was almost her survival instinct for her soul to attach itself to nearby creatures, but unexpectedly, this snake was not a simple snake.
Although it has intelligence, the body of the jewel beast is still a gem rich in magical power. This gem is very similar to a substance that [she] studied during her lifetime that can preserve souls... or should I say, the shell of the [Guardian Core].
The body of the jewel beast can also serve as a medium for preserving souls.
This thing, which can be called a soul gem, can also accept [her] soul as an outsider.
Of course, it was a bit crowded, and she could only move around when the little snake was asleep, which was very inconvenient.
That idiot blew up the gorilla...
[She] knew that the other person was in this world, and when she placed all her strength in the other person, she also entrusted everything to him with the intention of disappearing at that moment.
But [she] did not disappear.
After "surviving", I really wanted to see her.
That guy can't do it without someone by his side... She firmly believed this.
Therefore, he must quickly collect enough materials to create a new body instead of possessing this snake.
She has been observing the child for a few days. He seems to be from a wealthy family. Maybe she can get the materials she needs smoothly.
"...So, you are a person possessed by a small snake, and you need me to help you get the materials to rebuild your body and then resurrect?" Kagura Yu was at a loss.
So she is the type who can easily have adventures?
Kagura Yu was confused. The other person didn't seem to be a bad person... Mainly, she felt like she had heard the tone of voice somewhere before. It sounded very familiar, so she decided to help if she could.
"So, what do you need?" she asked.
[She] said: “Five liters of blood extracted in one hour, the liver of a centaur, the mucus of a bloodheartwood, the spine of a dragon… and a complete corpse.”
Kagura Yuu stopped writing down the memo and looked at her.
[She] looked back at Kagura Yu in confusion.
"Are these hard to get?"
“…I’m going to call the police.”
Who can get a complete corpse?! Is that something a 16-year-old high school student can easily get?!
Chapter 66 That's All
Mayumi Haga felt the gaze behind her.
She held up the ice cream that Rika Shanshan stuffed into her hand. The weather had been warmer recently, and the ice cream melted quickly, and soon it was about to flow onto her hands.
I was a little uncomfortable with licking ice cream in a place like an amusement park... but the melted ice cream would make my hands sticky, so Mayumi Hanega had no choice but to lick it.
Mayumi Haga didn't dislike the icy, sweet taste.
Once the ice cream melted, it wouldn't stop, and it seemed to be melting faster and faster, so she had no choice but to sit on the bench and finish it seriously.
But... why do I feel the gaze behind me suddenly become hot?
Mayumi Hanega turned her head warily in the direction where the strange gaze came from, only to see a familiar figure hiding timidly behind the bushes, revealing striking purple hair.
...Why is Kagura Yu-san here?
Was she secretly observing me just now?
Mayumi Haga is a little confused about the thoughts of today's female high school students.
The guardian went to ride the roller coaster by herself, and because of Mayumi Haga's heart problem, she was left here to wait for a while.
But she is not very interested in roller coasters.
She knew who was observing her, but the other person had no intention of chatting with her, so Mayumi Yuga would not take the initiative to approach him. She withdrew her gaze and planned to eat the food in her hand first to avoid wasting it.
Ice cream is a food that provides her with sugar and calories, and the taste is not unpleasant. Mayumi Haga eats it all with great care, and even catches the crumbs from the cone.
She sat properly on the bench, waiting obediently and concentrating on eating her ice cream, without paying any attention to Mayumi Hanega around her... To people who were a little familiar with her, she was a little too cute.
What Mayumi Hanega herself didn't notice was that when she ate something she liked, her expression would be much softer than usual.
The always cold face began to soften because of the food, her eyes were focused, and she ate a little faster. Just small details could prove how much she liked the food.
The scene of the always serious Miss Guardian licking the vanilla ice cream was too cute. Even after eating it, when she took out a tissue to wipe her hands, she subconsciously stuck out her tongue to lick the corner of her mouth that was stained with sweet liquid.
Kagura Yu heard a suspicious gasping sound coming from the little snake's mouth.
I don’t know if it was the little snake or the strange sound made by the stranger named [Raniya].
However, she is indeed a little different from the ordinary Mayumi Hanega.
Mayumi Haga has always given her the impression of being serious and steady, not like someone of her age.
But it is rare that in the primitive satisfaction brought by food, Mayumi Haga was able to show her livelier side.
In fact, it was the same in the past. The young guardian lady loved to explore delicious food everywhere. When she ate something delicious, her eyes would light up and it seemed as if her whole body relaxed.
Later, eating delicious food became a luxury. Most of the time, I didn’t even have time to make a fire. I could only cut whatever I could grab with a knife and put it in my mouth.
However, Mayumi Haga, who was not picky about food, could swallow even stones and firewood without changing her expression, so it did not cause any trouble to her.
As long as I can fill my stomach and maintain my body functions, anything is fine.
After coming to this world, Mayumi Hanega has no interest in tasting delicious food. Even if she knows that something tastes good, she will not eat it outside of regular meals.
One reason is to reduce expenses as much as possible. After all, the money we use now is all transferred by the guardian.
Mayumi Haga wanted to work to repay the money, but Shanshan Li Keyan forbade her to pay him even one dollar before she turned 20, otherwise she would have no sense of participation in raising the child.
Although she didn't know what the guardian was concerned about, it was rare for Mayumi Haga to see the guardian with such a serious expression. Knowing that she was serious, she had to give up.
After I turn twenty, I will find a way to earn the currency of this world and pay off all the debts I owe.
Second, Mayumi Haga's material desires are actually very low.
Following the life principles of the previous world, Miss Guardian felt that there was no need for people like her to improve their living standards.
If not eating, not living in a safe and clean house, and not going to school would not make others worry, she would even have thought about finding a place to bury her core and directly cut off her consciousness... thus saving 100% of her living expenses.
At the beginning, she didn't think that she could still live in society as a human being.
It was because the guardian brought her back and sincerely hoped that she could live happily as a "human"...that she was standing here.
When she first came into this world, Mayumi Haga just wanted to live in accordance with the expectations of her guardian and not bring psychological trauma to the kind-hearted other party.
However, as time went by, she was indeed tied up with some invisible and intangible ropes.
Mayumi Hanega finished the ice cream in her hand, clapped her hands, supported her hands on her sides, and looked into the distance.
It's something different from the responsibility of being a guardian.
It's not Mayumi Haga as a guardian, but simply Mayumi Haga as a person, who has more ties in this world.
People who don't know her identity but have come into contact with her disguised kind face will look at her, talk to her, and want to get close to her.
Mayumi Haga actually knew it clearly.
But she didn't think she was qualified to accept these things with a clear conscience.
She doesn't need overly passionate friendship or redemption that makes people feel warm.
It's not disgust, it's not inferiority, and it's not fear.
Just confused.
Just like Rika Shanshan back then, she gave up her identity as a guardian, her hatred for disasters, and she didn't know where the road ahead would lead.
As an individual, Mayumi Haga is just an empty shell. What really exists here is an incompetent guardian. It is already a blessing to be able to burn the last drop of lamp oil for the light of this world. How can she use the beautiful shell of an object to deceive others' hearts.
Only humans can have feelings and relationships with other humans. I am just a widely used tool. When someone wants to use me, I respond.
——Haga Mayumi's character of being able to take action for others' sincere requests and almost always respond to them is not noble or divine, but simply for this reason.
Her true form is just a boring stone. Since everyone wants her to become a human, then she can move in human form.
It's not about love or miracles, it's just about responsibility.
Chapter 67 Miss Guardian Ten Years Later? !
Mayumi Haga came out of her thoughts and her mood calmed down again.
The reason why she suddenly thought so much was because of Hitomi Tono.
Yesterday, Tono Hitomi had planned to ask her out for a chat, but because Sugiyama Rika had invited Haga Mayumi out first, she had to reject the former's invitation.
What's different about the other party since the last time?
It's not just the change in attitude after knowing Mayumi Haga's identity as the "guardian", but something else.
The gaze from the other party was even more passionate, but perhaps because he was too young and had not been exposed to relevant information, he seemed ignorant and had not yet figured out his own feelings, so no qualitative change had taken place.
It is an emotion above friendship.
Mayumi Haga could actually tell the difference.
When she was young—that is, before the age of twenty-five in her original world—she knew nothing about this.
Because of her childhood experiences and her slowness, she realized very late in life that there might be someone who liked her, and that the perspective of the person who liked her was different from that of others.
But so what?
The guardian is a being that will not be bound by the secular world, and Little Feather is a bird that advocates freedom. She always moves forward and will not look back at those who want her to stay where she is.
In any case, she is not a suitable partner because she cannot give any feedback that the other party needs.
Before Mayumi Hanega could figure out the corresponding result, she suddenly heard a scream not far away.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—”
