Give the child a little shock to the world view

Chapter VI Guardian

Tono Hitomi is not good at hiding her emotions, and whatever she is thinking is written on her face.

For example, now, when the three of them were walking home together, Tono Hitomi's face was still full of disbelief.

I clearly sensed the presence of a strange person... Could it be that he ran away secretly because Lily and I were there?

What a cunning enemy!

Mayumi Haga felt a little relieved when she saw Hitomi Tohno, who was angry because she didn't catch the monster.

It seems that Xiaotong recovers quite quickly.

Although her own ability to withstand stress far exceeds that of the residents of this world, from Mayumi Haga's perspective, she really doesn't understand why she would be distracted by seeing a wound.

Even though I don’t understand it, I will still keep it in my heart.

I’ll try to avoid this kind of thing from happening next time… Never mind, that’s a little hard to do.

As mentioned before, the magical girls and monsters in this world do not rely on physical strength when fighting, but on magical abilities.

A colorless and transparent barrier will cover the bodies of these people with magical abilities, which has the functions of protection and strengthening, but also consumes a large amount of magic power.

During a battle, the person who uses up all his magic power first will temporarily lose his ability to fight and thus be defeated.

To Mayumi Haga, this was child's play.

For her, fighting is not a game of back and forth, but a game of life and death where she fights to the last drop of blood.

She will not die, but the pain is real and will not be treated kindly to her.

Even though she was used to the pain, Mayumi Haga could never get used to the weakness after being injured.

All in all, Mayumi Haga takes fighting more seriously than anyone else in this world.

You have to give your best every time.

After the last battle with the sad teddy bear, Mayumi Hanega realized that the power system of this world restrained her.

She didn't have a single bit of magic power in her body, and couldn't use magic to break the barriers of those magic users. Not to mention fighting, most of the time, Mayumi Yuga's physical attacks couldn't even touch the enemy.

But she has a special [blessing].

The blessing skill named [Tit for Tat] has a mechanism similar to magic, but its effect is more like curse and witchcraft.

As long as she smears her own blood on the enemy, Mayumi Haga's injuries will be reflected on the enemy in the same state.

This is also why after she cut off her left arm last time, the arm of the bear monster was also broken off.

Although the body structure of the enemies in this world is sometimes different from that of humans, Mayumi Haga has sufficient experience in fighting against non-humans and naturally knows how to deal with them.

At worst, she could grind herself into meat paste, which would always work.

Even if she didn't use this trick, there was still another way to deal with it based on her combat experience.

For a guardian who has walked through a long time alone, the number of skills that light up in the endless battle is huge. Even in such a world that seems to completely restrain her and is impeccable, there are still some skills that come into play.

Even if she could only cause scratches on the enemy...if it came down to perseverance, she would definitely not lose.

Among these effective fighting methods, not one of them can lead to complete victory without bloodshed.

That's why Mayumi Haga couldn't make up her mind not to let her companions be frightened by her again.

Mayumi Haga, Hitomi Tono and Yuri Takajo were walking side by side on their way home.

The two magical girls were discussing the teddy bear pendant because they were worried about their friend's safety. As the friend who was worried about her, Mayumi Haga was thinking about her own things while listening.

She had not made a contract with the jewel beasts of this world, so she could not sense the aura of monsters.

To be honest, she was also a little curious about what this person's aura was like.

Could it be a not-so-nice smell? Rotting rat? Moldy food?

Mayumi Haga had some suspicion in her heart that she would be targeted by a monster.

The image of the little bear pendant was very consistent with the sad teddy bear that had been beaten up before.

I guess the other party must have guessed my identity and is trying to get close to me.

What is the purpose of approaching yourself?

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he just wants revenge.

Mayumi Haga was tired of this kind of drama.

Today the weirdo fled in a hurry and threw the remains into the trash can by himself, but he will probably come back again in the future.

Realizing that she was being targeted by a monster, Mayumi Haga became even more alert.

I couldn't help but feel annoyed. The monster's difficult-to-kill attribute was really too troublesome.

No matter how long she stayed there, Mayumi Haga still felt that this world was very strange.

The magical girls and the monsters kept fighting, but they never killed each other. This caused the chaos to become a cycle day after day, and even people had become accustomed to running away.

There is also the restorative property of magic, which is also surprising.

What does it mean that “damage caused by magic can repair itself”…?

Mayumi Haga's original world did not have this kind of self-repair mechanism. The ruins remained ruins after hundreds of years, and everything was in ruins as far as the eye could see.

Her common sense is incompatible with this world, and she is also incompatible with this world.

The splattered blood, minced meat and bone fragments of Mayumi Haga could only remain the same for less than a minute under the laws of this world.

After a minute, it will dissolve into brightly colored orange juice, which may not seem that impactful at first glance.

However, for Mayumi Haga, the impact of seeing those things dissolve into orange juice was stronger than the original fragments without the filter of this world...

With something on her mind, Mayumi Haga returned to her rented apartment.

She took out the key from her schoolbag, but paused for a moment.

The traces of dust at the doorway have faded a little.

Someone went in.

There were no extra scratches, and the door was opened with a key.

...Ah, the troublesome guy is back.

Mayumi Hanega closed her eyes slightly, sighed silently, then opened the door with her key with a wooden face.

The curtains that were usually drawn were now all opened, and the gentle and brilliant sunset streamed into the house, making the slightly gloomy Mayumi Yuga's nest a little warmer.

The house smelled of food, the aroma of spicy curry wafting from the kitchen.

The black-haired girl stood at the door for a while, finally recovering from the stiffness of her safe house being invaded.

She changed into slippers and put her schoolbag on the shoe cabinet.

Then he walked quickly into the kitchen and saw the guardian lady who was busy working in an apron: "Shanshan Lihua."

The former guardian of the magical girl with brilliant red hair smiled warmly at Mayumi Haga, who was much thinner than when she left last time: "Hey! Call me 'sister' properly, Mayumi!"

Chapter 7 Midnight

Six years ago, Mayumi Haga opened her eyes in this world.

The first thing she saw was a blazing magic that almost set the entire sky on fire.

Then, he almost thought that the blood moon had arrived, and almost jumped up and had a head-on conflict with Shanshan Rihua who was fighting the monster.

Fortunately, Mayumi Haga had just arrived in this world and her body was too weak to be fully controlled, so she did not expose herself at the beginning.

Then, Rika Sugiyama, who had finished the last battle of her magical girl career, picked up Mayumi Haga, who was so weak that she thought he was almost dying, on the side of the road.

This former magical girl, who was determined to start a new life, became Mayumi Hanega's guardian after some twists and turns.

After all, she is already in her early twenties and has been fighting monsters as a magical girl for more than ten years. She should leave this city to the younger generation and go out for a walk on her own.

The original plan was to train Mayumi Haga, but that night he discovered that the child had no magical talent, so he had to give up.

Then, by chance, he met Hitomi Tono who lived nearby.

Jewelmon chose Hitomi Toono, and the city had a successor to the magical girl. The adopted sister also showed strong ability to take care of herself... So after finishing all the things, Rika Sugiyama happily started her journey around the world.

This guardian who seems to be unconcerned actually still comes back to see Mayumi Hanega occasionally.

Although Mayumi Haga is quite capable of taking care of herself, her diet is a big concern. She is not used to wasting time on food and thinks that as long as she can maintain physical activity, it is fine.

Sometimes I even resist eating.

Most of the time, when Rika Sugiyama returned home, she would see Mayumi Haga, who was thinner than before.

She knew at a glance that the child had not eaten well when she was not at home.

Then she would cook a large table of dishes like she did today and watch Mayumi Hanega eat them.

Only after the child had grown back to a rosy complexion did she feel at ease to continue her journey.

However, this time she came back not just for Mayumi Hanega.

As a former magical girl and current traveling magician, Rika Sugiyama has more informed information channels than the magical girls stationed here.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a larger tide of monsters next.

It is still quite difficult to deal with Hitomi Tono and Yuri Takajo alone.

Compared to monsters who have a certain degree of intelligence, monsters have lower intelligence and only rely on the instinct of destruction, so they become difficult to deal with when their numbers increase.

Because there are only two magical girls active in this city, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone two people dealing with such a large number of monsters.

The reason why Rika Sugiyama came back this time was, firstly, to give special training to Hitomi Tono and Yuri Takajo, and secondly, to find a few helpers on the way so that they could safely survive the monster tide.

There is no need to tell Mayumi about these things.

Rika Sugiyama supported her chin and looked at Mayumi Haga, who always had a serious face, eating spicy curry with a smile on her face.

Her face, which always looked pale, turned red due to the spicy food. The physiological tears caused by the spiciness also wet her eyelashes. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, showing a soft and moist red.

But she tried hard to endure it. Even though her ears and neck turned red from crying due to the spiciness, she still forced herself to stuff the liquid into her mouth calmly.

Wow, this makes me look like a bad guy who bullies children.

Haha, that’s me.

After enjoying this beautiful scenery, Rika Sugiyama took away the half-eaten spicy curry in front of Mayumi Hane, replaced it with another plate with a milder taste, and poured her a glass of ice milk.

She said helplessly: "If a cat's tongue can't eat spicy food, just tell me. I won't force you to eat it."

"...It's delicious." After wiping her face awkwardly, Mayumi Hanega whispered, "And it's edible."

"You can eat it, but you probably prefer sweeter food."

"I have no preference." Mayumi Haga replied.

When she was alone, she would eat anything she wanted, and she would eat it hastily, without seasoning, and most of the time without cooking.

So she is actually not used to heavily seasoned food, but that's just a habit. If she wants to fill her stomach, she can eat anything.

Although spiciness is a kind of pain and Mayumi Haga is not afraid of pain, this kind of pain is still too unfamiliar.

It takes some time to get used to.

Compared to this... the guardian must have something important to tell you this time, right?

Mayumi Haga noticed the subtle fatigue in Rikka Sugiyama's eyes.

My guardian usually comes back in high spirits and in a hurry. But this time he seemed a little anxious, probably because he had something important to deal with.

She really couldn't ask directly about the magical girl.

Let's just wait and see.

While thinking, Mayumi Haga ate the food in front of her.

Well, it tastes good and can save a lot of eating time.

Keeping the true evaluation in mind, and looking forward to Rika Sugiyama's full expectations, her answer is:

"good to eat."

The guardian lady immediately smiled brightly.
