Give the child a little shock to the world view

Terasaki Ayaza was also quite confused: "That means Ms. Kirino won't easily cause trouble to Tono and the others, right? When the child asked me for the illusion magic notebook, she looked very anxious. I thought Ms. Kirino had already called her parents."

"Eh? Speaking of phone calls, it seems that Senior Kirino contacted me not long ago." Rika Sugiyama then noticed the pile of missed call reminders on her phone. Among a large number of messages marked with the callers [Dad] and [Mom], she found a missed call from Ms. Kirino two days ago, "Looking for me?"

"Maybe it's because you are now the manager of Miracle City." Terasaki Ayaka also felt that Ms. Kirino's handling of the matter of Tohno Hitomi was a bit strange.

Why did you call Rika Sugiyama when you were clearly going to visit the Tono family?

Is it because she guessed that Rika Sugiyama and she threw a lot of work to the juniors, leaving them no time to go to school?

Shanshan Lihua really couldn't figure it out. She scratched her head and said, "Then I'd better go back and take a look."

She was not very familiar with the route here, and if she rashly used flying magic to go back, she might bump into other people...it would be better to use the teleportation ability of the spiritual vein.

Rika Shanshan has access to a small part of the spiritual veins, which allows her to return to the city at any time from all over the world.

"Come to think of it, why don't you usually answer the phone?" Terasaki Ayaza finished talking about the more important things. It was rare that she was able to contact Shanshan Rihua by mobile phone. She said unhappily, "It takes a lot of magic to use long-distance telepathic communication, and every time I call you, you won't answer."

The red-haired guardian who was questioned said awkwardly: "Because my relatives are annoying..."

Shanshan Lihua didn't want to be caught and taken back to manage the family business at all, not to mention that his parents and other relatives always nag him every time.

If she hadn't kept her phone on silent mode, it would have been a 24-hour bombardment.

"It's okay on my end. After all, I can still contact you with magic... But have you ever considered that your guardian may also need to contact you?" Terasaki Ayaza said angrily, "If you find a child, you should at least take good care of him, right?"

"I gave Mayumi my contact information! And I used another phone that was not on silent mode..." Rika Sugiyama defended herself, "But..."

She would only receive calls or text messages from Mayumi Hanega on the last day of each calendar month. The other party would report to her what happened during the month and then hang up politely.

At other times, Mayumi Haga would not take the initiative to contact Rika Sugiyama in order not to disturb her travels.

"...You guy! Come back and help the child deal with home visits! These days are the high school's home visiting days. Do you want that child Yuga to be embarrassed when the teacher comes to the house?" Terasaki Ayaza really couldn't stand Sugiyama Rika's rough and free-range way of raising children. As a more reliable elder, she couldn't stand it anymore.

This older child! He is not a competent guardian at all!

Shanshan Lihua nodded and bowed on the other end of the phone: "Yes, yes, I will definitely keep my phone open next time... I'm very sorry! I'll go back and see what happened!"

After hanging up the phone, she felt a little headache: "Go back and deal with the home visits..."

It wouldn't be too difficult to use teleportation magic to go back, but I would definitely be scolded by Senior Kirino.

Although somewhat reluctant, Rika Shanshan still put on her backpack, paid for the meal, and prepared to find a place to teleport back to Miracle City.

Oh, by the way, you should also bring some local specialties, the hot pot base here is quite good.

Just as he was thinking this, the phone in Shanshan Lihua's hand vibrated again.

It was a call from Mayumi Haga and her classmates’ homeroom teacher, Ms. Kirino.

...

"Are you Mayumi's mother?" Hitomi Tono was very curious about Urzana's existence. She came close to Urzana and asked in a low voice.

In her opinion, Mayumi Haga's legal guardian should be Rika Sugiyama.

But considering that Rika Sugiyama has not been in Miracle City for a long time and has not spent much time with Mayumi Haga, and when Mayumi was picked up, the latter looked to be ten years old and her personality had begun to take shape.

So who raised Mayumi during these ten years?

Tono Hitomi was very curious about Mayumi Haga's past, but considering that the other party didn't seem to want to talk about those past events, she did not ask at this stage, but planned to wait for a better opportunity to obtain information without opening Mayumi Haga's old scars.

And now, Urzana, an important person related to Mayumi Haga's past, appears in front of her.

This made Tono Hitomi unable to curb her inner curiosity. Seeing that Urzana seemed easy to talk to, she moved closer, lowered her voice, and asked questions at a volume that she thought Mayumi Hane could not hear.

When asked this question, Urzana was trying to pick up the cup on the table.

The cup was as big as an average person's face, but she could wrap it with one hand.

However, when she stretched out her hand towards the handle of the cup, she couldn't touch anything solid. Her hand reached out empty and passed directly through the quilt.

Urzana spread out her palm and looked carefully, and found that it was a little more transparent than usual.

If you don't look closely, you can't see any abnormality at all.

She is not a physical body now... or rather, the energy provided by the fire is insufficient to reshape her body.

Urzana, who was sitting here, was just looking at the more solid soul, or projection.

When she was in Mayumi Haga's backpack, she was close to the fire and could still touch things, but after she came out, she couldn't do that anymore. She even had to control her body to avoid falling downstairs.

Urzana was not surprised either. After all, the fact that her own body had shrunk clearly revealed some kind of energy shortage.

In the past, the energy that the guardians used to regenerate their bodies was given by the long river. As long as they were in that world, no matter how damaged their bodies were, as long as they had a core left, they could obtain the energy of the long river to revive themselves.

Once the river dries up, that is, once all living things in the world except the guardian are swallowed up, the guardian will completely lose the ability to regenerate.

Having lost their homeland, these guardians also lost the foundation of the river, and are basically no different from stones containing souls.

As for Mayumi, it is probably because she still has the fire in her body that she can be resurrected unlimitedly like before.

Urzana turned her gaze to Mayumi Haga, who was staying in the kitchen and still unwilling to come out and talk to her.

I really miss Mayumi when she was seventeen.

Urzana began to feel a little grateful that she could still sit here and see Mayumi Hanega.

Moreover, Mayumi seems to have made some good friends in this world.

She whispered to Tono Hitomi: "I am not Mayumi's blood relative."

They don't look similar at all, so to say that she is Mayumi's mother or something... is a bit far-fetched.

But to be honest, Urzana's mood became a little happier because of this question.

"Are there any similarities between Mayumi and I?" Her expression was much more relaxed, and she even asked this question with a smile on her face that she wasn't even aware of.

Tono Hitomi thought seriously for a while: "The smile...the smile is very similar."

"Hmm?" Urzana and Tono Hitomi whispered on the sofa, "Smile?"

Although Mayumi Haga rarely smiles now, Hitomi Toono thinks of the traveler Mayumi Haga in her dream. When she smiles, she looks just as refreshing as the giant lady.

Although there is no blood relationship, she inexplicably feels that the giant lady in front of her must occupy a very important position in the most important stage of Mayumi Haga's life.

It is so important that certain personality traits and expressions were learned and have not been erased even now.

"By the way, what's going on with the home visit?" Urzana was caught by Ms. Kirino and had a long talk with him before she understood the situation at all. Now that she had temporarily left to make a phone call, she was finally able to understand the situation with the second human being who could communicate here. "She didn't come to the house and smash anything, did she?"

"…Home visits are not to destroy things at home." Tono Hitomi quickly waved her hands and explained, "It's just that the teachers from school come to the house to understand the situation."

Urzana said "Oh" and digested the slight cultural differences.

Although the language of this world can be understood without learning it, some of the words used are indeed very different from theirs.

In their place, if someone they are not very familiar with says they want to go to someone else's house, they usually think they are looking for trouble.

But...teacher?

Is Mayumi reading?

Urzana was not very familiar with the education system of this world. She could only barely understand the information in these sentences and then fell into deep thought.

After arriving in the new world, she found that everything around her became strange. Even in the few short sentences that Tono Hitomi said, there were many expressions that she could not immediately understand.

It's like putting land animals to live in the sea... they need to adapt to almost everything.

Has Mayumi always lived in such an environment?

Urzana knew Mayumi Haga's personality.

This child likes food, music and traveling. He is extremely satisfied as long as he can ride on a pony and walk in the woods. His favorite thing is to wander aimlessly on the plains and meet strangers and strange scenery.

Mayumi Haga is different from her. Although Urzana also likes to travel, she also won't reject settled life.

But Mayumi Haga is just like the nickname her biological mother gave her. She seems to be covered with feathers of freedom and likes to drift and wander.

She seemed to regard that world as her home. No matter where she was, as long as the wind blew, she would feel at ease.

Wandering alone on the continent, creating countless memories, establishing countless bonds... is a very romantic thing.

But now, Mayumi Haga has a place to live.

Although this room is spacious, it is far from being as vast as the world I once lived in.

The house did not restrain Mayumi Haga.

What really locked Mayumi was herself...perhaps Urzana, and countless memories. These heavy things locked the feather in the box, weighing it down so that it was no longer light.

Urzana looked at Mayumi Hanega's back.

She had to talk to Mayumi.

About to speak.

"Ding Dong." There was a sound of doorbell ringing outside the door.

Then, a carefree voice sounded outside the door: "I'm back, Mayumi!"

Chapter 98 The Guardians' First Meeting

After returning to the spiritual vein of Miracle City through teleportation magic, Rika Shanshan dragged her suitcase out of the platform. It was already evening.

Before she came back, she received a call from Ms. Kirino.

"Home visit?" When Sugiyama Rika heard Ms. Kirino asking her where she was and that she was going to visit Mayumi Haga at her home today, she was a little flustered, "Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Today?"

Normally, shouldn't we only visit a few of these houses in a day...ah, the Toono house is nearby.

It should be that after visiting Tono Hitomi's house, he came to the Sugiyama family again.

However, Ms. Kirino's explanation left Rika Sugiyama completely puzzled: "...You said that Hitomi used illusion magic to disguise herself as me and helped Mayumi get away with it... Eh——?!"

She made an exaggerated long puzzlement sound.

At this time, Rika Shanshan felt that something was beyond her control.

When did Mayumi know that Hitomi could use magic? Has she already guessed the true identity of the magical girl Crimson...?

Why did things develop to the point where I have no idea what they are when I was only away from home for half a month?

However, even more incomprehensible information continued to pour in from the other end of the phone. Her brain kept upgrading. She stood blankly on the Spiritual Vein platform, making a surprised sound:

"What? Mayumi skipped classes? Her attendance rate is getting dangerous..."

——How could Mayumi skip class?

"...Ah? You said there's already a parent at home?"

——Where did Mayumi's other parents come from? !

Only then did Shanshan Lihua realize that the situation was serious.

She just went out as usual, but it was as if there was another parent in the house who was more competent than her - at least he could sit quietly on the sofa when the teacher visited the house.

And he even claimed to be Mayumi's parent!

The most important thing is...

...Why didn't I feel anything when Ms. Kirino used the Word Spirit Summoning?

Am I really an incompetent guardian?

The identity of Rika Sugiyama’s guardian is in crisis!

She immediately sounded the alarm.

Even though she herself was not very suitable for raising a child...to be honest, she didn't think of herself as Mayumi's mother or a similar elder, as she herself was at most the same age as Mayumi's sister.

Because he is too young in both age and mentality, the mysterious guardian Rika Shanshan, who has not existed for many years, is not recognized as a parent by Yanling.

Rather than a guardian, Rika Sugiyama should be positioned more like an "older sister".

So, who is the person who can be recognized as Mayumi's head?

While feeling a sense of crisis, Rika Shanshan was also curious about the person she had never met before.

Because she never knew that Mayumi still had a real guardian in this world.

If you were still in this world, why didn't you come to find Mayumi before?

And if you encounter any difficulties... I can help solve them.

Rika Sugiyama could see that although Mayumi Haga had accepted her, there was still a distance between them.

Mayumi Haga is a very independent and mature child, so she is quite distant from everyone. It would be better for her if there was someone who understood her inner thoughts and let her open up.
