So, let her see who that [Mayumi's parent] is.

Standing in front of his door, when he was about to take out the key, he realized that he didn't bring it with him. Mayumi Hanega was inside, so it was not easy to fly over directly using magic.

Shanshan Lihua was a little nervous, took a breath, and pressed the doorbell: "I'm back, Mayumi!"

Two seconds passed.

She heard hurried footsteps, and the person who opened the door for her was obviously not Mayumi Hanega.

As soon as the door opened, Tono Hitomi's face, full of guilt, appeared in front of Shanshan Rihua.

Rika Shanshan knew at a glance that she had done something bad, and in fact, this guy was caught doing something bad on the spot. However, Rika Shanshan was not an elder who would fuss about these trivial matters.

She winked at Tono Hitomi and lowered her voice: "Xiao Tong, where is Mayumi?"

"Mayumi is in the room." Tono Hitomi also turned down the volume.

"Then, are there any other people?" Shanshan Lihua was more cautious, "The one who is said to be the head of Mayumi family..."

"Ms. Urzana, she's right behind me...ah." said Hitomi Tono.

Only then did Rika Shanshan notice that there was actually someone standing behind Hitomi Tono.

This woman was surprisingly tall. When she stood behind the petite Hitomi Tono, she looked like a wall. She should have had a strong presence, but because she was too tall, her head could not be seen and she looked like part of a building.

Rihua Shanshan raised her head and looked into Urzana's golden eyes.

The two red-haired guardians had the same thought in their minds at this moment:

——Is this Mayumi’s guardian?

Not to mention that Rika Shanshan was impressed by Urzana's huge physique. Urzana felt that Rika Shanshan herself was like a child. She didn't seem to be her peer - in fact, there were very few people who could be her peer - she was about the same age as Mayumi at the time.

No wonder the spell that could summon the parents didn’t summon the child.

"Hello, I'm Rika Sugiyama. You are Mayumi's parent, right?" Rika Sugiyama felt that the size of Urzana in front of her was really oppressive, and she could only lower her head and look down at her.

Wow, he’s really big… I feel like I can knock down my non-transformed self with one punch.

But, it looks really handsome.

Shanshan Lihua could appreciate the wild beauty of Urzana. She was like a strong and sturdy beast, with wheat-colored skin and smooth muscles. The clothes she wore were also extremely exotic. She exposed large areas of skin without making people feel astringent. Combined with the white totems painted on her body, there was a natural beauty of power.

Because of some adult reasons, Rika Shanshan herself is also exercising, but there is still a long way to go to reach this point.

Urzana didn't know what the unreliable Rihua Shanshan was thinking.

She knew that Shanshan Lihua had helped Mayumi a lot and was Mayumi's support in this world. If it wasn't for this kind-hearted person who picked up Yuga Mayumi, it would be unknown what would happen now. It might even be worse...

So she thanked him solemnly: "Ms. Shanshan, thank you for taking care of Mayumi."

Rika Shanshan stared intently at the body within her sight, as if in a trance.

"Ms. Shanshan?" Urzana called her but she didn't respond. She waved her hand in front of her and said, "Hello?"

Shanshan Lihua suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah? Miss Urzana, can I touch your belly... Oh no, hello, hello!"

She shook hands with Urzana enthusiastically. Her initial wariness and nervousness, fearing that Mayumi would be snatched away, completely disappeared in the surprise of seeing Urzana in person.

Her intuition told her that Urzana was a good person.

Chapter 99: Wow, Mayumi——

When shaking hands with Urzana, Rika Shanshan noticed something unusual.

“…This touch?”

When she touched the other person's palm, she was able to clearly sense that Urzana in front of her was not human.

Not even a physical entity.

Urzana was also stunned: "Ms. Shanshan, you can touch me? You are a wizard... No, to use the term here, you are a magician?"

She couldn't even lift the cup. She tried it just now, but it can be said that she could basically not touch anything. When Tono Hitomi tried to touch her, it would pass through her.

However, Rika Shanshan was able to touch her directly, and the feeling was no different from when she was still alive.

But why is it Rika Sugiyama? Isn't Hitomi Tohno, who can also use magic, untouchable? What is the difference between Rika Sugiyama and Hitomi Tohno? Is it a matter of total magic power or magical attainments?

Shanshan Lihua actually already had a guess in his mind.

Her physique changed ten years ago due to a brief contact with the spiritual vein.

No matter how powerful a magical girl's abilities are, her body is just that of an ordinary human, so the magic output and other standards that determine her magical abilities will be limited by her physical conditions, which is the so-called upper limit of her potential.

Physical fitness has always been a shortcoming of magic users. For example, Tohno Hitomi, who has an amazing amount of innate magic power, cannot output at her full strength because her physical condition has not yet caught up. Despite this, Tohno Hitomi's growth potential is also quite amazing.

However, Shanshan Lihua's [upper limit of potential] was completely dissolved due to the contact with the spiritual vein.

She herself didn't know what changes had taken place in her body, but since then, she could control any kind of magic with ease. Using magic was like drinking water and breathing. Her ability to sense the magic traveling in the air was also stronger, and she even had the authority to manage some spiritual veins.

She didn't tell anyone else about this, not even Terasaki Ayaka.

If I had to say it, I would say that she was almost assimilated by the spiritual vein at that moment.

Because of her strong will, luck and the bond with her friends, she successfully climbed out.

Since then, she has clearly felt unexpected changes in her body. Although not obvious to outsiders, the changes are significant enough to affect her daily life.

If I had to say, they are closer to "magic elves" than humans.

Unlike the elves of Mayumi Haga's ancestors, the elves here are more like some magical creatures constructed by magic. A considerable part of Shanshan Rihua's body has been assimilated by high-concentration magic power, and is no longer a pure flesh, so there is no longer a bottleneck in magic.

And now, she found that she could touch Urzana.

The other party is not a ghost. To be precise, it should be a soul carrying power similar to that of a spiritual vein.

She could touch that power.

That power is——

——Spark.

The embers of another world.

The original power of the world exists in various forms and has different essential attributes, but as long as one reaches the level of perception like Rika Sugiyama, one can recognize it upon contact.

So, this Ms. Urzana in front of us is a visitor from another world?

That's true. After all, ordinary people can't grow so tall. And judging from her current weak state, this shouldn't be Urzana's full height. There is no such huge human in this world. She must be from another world.

It should be similar to the giants in fairy tales, right?

Wait, so Ms. Urzana is Mayumi's guardian, then...

“Eh——?!” Rika Sugiyama’s brain, which hadn’t been functioning since she found Mayumi Haga, was about to overload, “So Mayumi is really from another world?”

She had always thought that Mayumi was just an ordinary child who appeared in the battle field between her and monsters and was dragged into it.

Although Mayumi did not seem to be able to speak the local language at first and also showed some difficulty in common sense, she thought that the child had lost all his previous memories after being frightened...

Now think about it, a normal person wouldn't have no magical talent at all, right?

After all, in this world, magic exists in every corner. Whether it is humans, animals or plants, they all have certain magic. The only difference is the amount of magic.

Magic in this world is like water.

However, Mayumi Haga's body is completely clean, and can be said to be an unprecedented magic insulator.

It's as strange as having no water in the human body.

The difference between people from the other world and people in this world is so obvious, but Rika Shanshan hasn't thought about it carefully yet.

Urzana looked at her blankly: "Yes, yes."

"The other world... I've met quite a lot of people from other worlds." Rika Sugiyama said that when she was still a magical girl, she would occasionally meet magical girls from another world during the winter and summer vacations, or other people who were very similar to magical girls, but with different names.

For example, Valkyrie, Brave Man, Q-Waist and Kamen Rider (just borrowing the memes, no fan collaboration).

During the special events of the long holiday, she was able to meet people from other worlds and made many friends. The spirit veins of this world were quite friendly, and basically opened their doors to other worlds, welcoming everyone to visit, so it was often lively.

Rika Sugiyama likes that kind of atmosphere very much.

So after knowing that Mayumi Haga came from another world, Rika Sugiyama didn't feel anything strange.

Because the people from the other world are also human beings who can communicate and are friendly enough. Since we are all human beings, we will definitely be able to communicate well.

Even if we are not human beings, there will be times when we can have a spiritual connection.

Rika Sugiyama will not feel alienated just because Urzana and Mayumi Haga are visitors from another world.

No matter what the other person's body shape or where they came from, they were just people she knew.

And Mayumi is her recognized sister.

When picking up Mayumi Haga, Rika Sugiyama put Mayumi in the place of family members.

"Then...Urzana, will you take Mayumi away?" Rika Sugiyama straightened her attitude, stared into Urzana's eyes intently, and asked the most important question at the moment.

She waited anxiously for Urzana's answer.

After all, Urzana is Mayumi's parent, and she won't stop Mayumi if she wants to go with the other party.

Moreover, Mayumi came here alone from another world and must miss her family very much.

I haven't opened my heart to anyone for such a long time, probably because I miss my old family more.

"If Mayumi, Mayumi wants to go with you, I will definitely not stop... stop you... wu... wu wa Mayumi——" As he spoke, the current guardian dropped his little pearl, with snot and tears, looking very pitiful, "I can still visit you in the future, right——"

Chapter 100: Crying, just crying

Rika Shanshan was really crying.

She felt sad when she thought that Mayumi might go home with Urzana in front of her, and that she and Mayumi would be separated into two worlds and might never see each other again.

Rika Sugiyama is a person with full emotions and a simple and direct personality. Although it seems that she can't spend much time with Mayumi Haga, they have developed feelings for each other over the years, and it is difficult for her to give up Mayumi Haga.

Unlike those friends from other worlds who she had only met a few times or perhaps just spent a vacation with, Mayumi had become a family member to her, which was different from a friend.

If I could never see Mayumi again, or if it would be difficult to see her, I would be separated from this child for an unknown period of time... Shanshan Rihua was so sad that she cried just thinking about it.

She didn't want Mayumi to leave.

But if Mayumi wanted to go back, she wouldn't stop her.

I just hope that I can go see Mayumi in the future...

This feeling is like finding the adoptive mother of the child's biological parents.

But Shanshan Lihua did not get an immediate reply from Urzana.

She saw an embarrassment on the other person's face, mixed with a little loneliness and a strong sense of melancholy.

"Please rest assured, Miss Shanshan." The visitor from another world spoke softly so that Shanshan Rihua's ears would not buzz. "There is no place for us to go back to."

There is nowhere to go and no way to escape.

Therefore, Urzana wanted to ask Rikka Sugiyama to let Mayumi Haga continue to live here.

She would be very grateful if Rika Sugiyama could continue to take in Mayumi Haga and provide a place for these displaced people who have lost their hometown to live.

"...There is no place to go back to, you mean...?" Shanshan Lihua's voice was a little trembling, she seemed to finally realize something, the little pearls in her eyes were about to burst, "Yes, does it mean that there is no way back to the original world?"

That's true... Why didn't she react immediately?

The original world has become the embers of a world like Spark, so there’s no way back, right?

That means that Urzana and Mayumi's hometown has been destroyed.

"What a joke...this is too much..." Shanshan Lihua lowered her head.

She actually didn't know where the original inhabitants of the world would go after the world became Fire.

Originally, she didn't know much about these fires and the original power of the world. The only time she came into contact with something similar to fire was when she was eighteen years old, during the long vacation when she was going to school.

A villain from another world stole the artificial fire and ran to this world.

The magical girl from that world chased after them, and Rika Sugiyama, as the local manager, helped after figuring out the whole story.

It was at that time that she finally understood the concept of fire.

The seed of hope that contains the original power of the world.

In the more developed world, there are alchemists who try to steal the original power of the world and use it to cultivate inferior fire.
