Just when the communication between the two reached a stalemate, there was a sudden "bang" from the bathroom, and the window shook twice.

Little Bear was shocked: "Mayumi?! What happened?"

Megalane had no choice but to explain: "...It's nothing, Mayumi is exfoliating in there."

Maybe it's 30 centimeters of dead skin.

What did this person do outside again? He cleaned himself up as soon as he came back.

In the bathroom, Mayumi Hanega stood up with the help of the sink.

At her feet, warm orange liquid quickly poured into the drain, and soon only one set of clothes was left.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked no different from usual, but her expression was extremely solemn.

The feeling of being dripped by the Despair Monster was not an illusion.

Because she and Mayumi Hane share the same origin, that trace of despair can quickly merge into her body and invade her core the moment it touches her. Even self-destruction cannot clear out the foreign matter in the core.

Mayumi Haga knew very well what this meant.

She is able to maintain such a high rate of regeneration and survive to this day without letting the high-speed regeneration get out of control and turn herself into a monster... all thanks to this mental protection.

If the mental protection is not destroyed, Mayumi Haga's core will never be shattered.

In other words, if there is a problem with the mental protection, then her core will sooner or later become the same as her predecessor's, or perhaps even more fragile than her predecessor's.

Her self will also be gradually worn away, and in the end, not to mention [Haga Mayumi], even her normal form as a human being... no, it will be difficult for her to maintain her normal form as a living being.

When that time comes, what will become of me with such a number of blessings?

Mayumi Haga didn't know.

She was in a trance, and a subtle sense of relief that everything had settled came over her.

Theoretically, if Mayumi Yuga can keep her spiritual protection, she will become an eternal guardian and coexist with the world. Even if she comes to the new world, she will have unlimited time.

Although the guardians will disappear, the premise is that their cores can no longer bear the mental torture of the long years. At that time, the guardians who have lost their minds will choose to die.

But Mayumi Haga, who possesses spiritual protection, won’t do that.

If nothing unexpected happens in her world, it is only a matter of time before Mayumi Haga really falls into an inescapable curse of eternal life and becomes the last and only guardian.

After arriving here, problems arose with the mental protection.

The disaster created a hole in Mayumi Hanega's mental protection, and the soul that should theoretically never be erased finally began to show scratches.

After realizing the current problems, Mayumi Haga felt unprecedented calm.

Even though she knew that she might actually die, and that she might collapse into a pool of flesh and blood that would only proliferate after a battle one day, she was not greatly shaken.

There was even an unprecedented sense of relief.

She never felt that death would come, and before, she never thought that being unable to die was a painful thing. Now she just felt dazed.

She murmured, "Is that so."

I will die sooner or later... This fact is just common sense to others, but I didn't expect it to be so strange when I realized it.

But it feels good.

A dense and fragmented pain arose from deep within her core, and it seemed as if all the things that had not been able to overwhelm her in the past came out in one breath.

Mayumi Haga smiled at herself in the mirror.

Chapter 122 The Magic of Embrace

Terasaki Ayasa shuddered.

An ominous premonition enveloped her. She felt inexplicably uneasy and frowned, stopping the pen in her hand that was filling out the assessment forms for the magical girls.

Although the magician in charge of Miracle City should be Rika Sugiyama, he is not here all the time. Even when the return visit day is approaching, he is still staying in a magical secret realm where he cannot be contacted. Terasaki Ayasa has no choice but to help him handle related work.

It is already the beginning of May, and there are only about twenty days left until the return visit date on May 27th.

Before the return visit day, she needs to register the names of the magical girls in the area she is responsible for on a form... It's called a form, but in fact she is copying the names, codes and the names of the jewel beasts into a book and transmitting it to the Star Tower, which is responsible for the management of magical girls.

Although the magical girls seem loose on the surface, they actually have a relatively large-scale management organization, namely the Star Tower.

Although this management agency is extremely Buddhist and is only seen a few times throughout the year, it completely trusts the autonomy and independence of the magical girls. It will only confirm the number of magical girls on occasions such as the Return Visit Day - that is, a census of the number of magical girls, and then it will not care about anything else.

For ordinary magical girls, this is perhaps a mysterious organization that they will never encounter in their entire magical girl career and whose presence is so low that it is dispensable.

The magicians of the Star Tower rarely go out unless they encounter some major events related to spirit veins, but their efficiency is also very low.

Back then, the spiritual vein of Miracle City was almost blown off, and in the end it was still up to local magical girls like Shanshan Lihua to save the situation. When the magicians sent by the Star Tower arrived, it was already the fifth day after everything was dealt with.

...This efficiency.

Even Terasaki Ayasa, who usually slacks off, would be shocked by this.

The criteria for selecting members of the Star Tower are not very clear. The magician who came to Miracle City wanted to invite Rika Sugiyama to join, but was rejected by the latter. Since then, he has never come to Miracle City again, and Ayaka Terasaki has never met any other magicians with golden stars on their ceremonial clothes.

What a strange and unorganized organization.

"So does that Star Tower really exist? There has been no movement for such a long time..." Terasaki Ayaka lit the paper in her hand with magic flames. The paper quickly turned into ashes in the sparkling flames, but there was no temperature.

She propped her chin up and complained, "How come that guy Bi Lihua doesn't care about anything?"

Few magical girls are aware of the existence of the Star Tower, and she only knew about it because of the incident with the spiritual vein back then.

Later, they realized that they did not need to contact the Star Tower when they were magical girls because when they first entered the industry, their predecessors helped them fill out the information and then left Miracle City without looking back.

Because she is now the person in charge, she also has to find a way to report this information.

Ms. Kirino, who was quietly reading a book and drinking tea nearby, chuckled amiably: "Terasaki, you are wrong."

"Teacher Kirino, do you know anything about the Star Tower?" Terasaki Ayaza flipped through the materials in her hand, but there was no more detailed information. The elders seemed to be able to understand more of what she wanted to know, so she asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

"The magicians of the Star Tower are not normal people. I met one of them when I was young, and I saw her again thirty years later, and I found that she had not changed at all." Ms. Kirino recalled what happened back then and was very emotional, "She is really exactly the same as when I met her thirty years ago."

Terasaki Ayasa was a little surprised: "Nothing has changed in thirty years? That means..."

"That's right, Star Magicians are no longer ordinary humans. They are closer to magical elves than humans." Ms. Kirino explained, "It is said that the most recent Star Magician was born in the early 20th century. Both their lifestyle and concept of time are very different from ours."

Because the angle of observing the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even with the help of the power of God, one can see part of the past and future, the Star Magician will only appear when necessary and cannot be found at other times.

In other words, the Star Magician did not come during the Miracle City Spirit Vein Incident because he foresaw that the Magical Girl of Miracle City could handle it.

And then they came to invite Shanshan Lihua to join them...

……Um?

Ayaka Terasaki felt something was wrong.

If the basic standard for a star magician is to become an elf, then inviting Rikka Sugiyama back then meant...

No, that’s not necessarily the case.

Maybe it will transform into an elf after joining.

Even though she thought so, the seed of doubt was indeed planted in Terasaki Ayaka's heart.

She frowned, lost in her own thoughts. The ink on the tip of the pen condensed into a trembling drop, about to hit the paper and make the form scrapped.

Ms. Kirino called Terasaki Ayaza back to her senses in time: "By the way, the matter of acting as a magical girl should also be reported."

"...Ah, I was writing." Terasaki Ayaka suddenly came to her senses. The form in front of her was indeed filled out with Maomao's. She realized that the ink was about to drip onto the paper, so she quickly moved her arm away.

She could help fill in other people's names, but for Gray, she couldn't fill in the name given to it by humans.

The name that others gave it for convenience was not a real name in the magical sense. If it wanted to be registered, Gray still had to come and leave a paw print.

Everyone else's form has been filled out, only Maomao's is left. Terasaki Ayaka plans to finish it later when Gray comes over.

So Terasaki Ayisa rolled up the kraft paper in her hand, tied it with a rope and put it aside.

She had just put the paper down when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and then immediately returned to normal.

No, it's not just that simple.

At the moment when the lights dimmed, Terasaki Ayasa felt the fluctuation of the spiritual vein so clearly for the first time. This usually calm river suddenly had a wave, which made all the magicians feel a chill in their hearts.

Ms. Kirino over there had stood up unconsciously, still holding a cup of tea in her hand, and looking out the blank window.

Is this... the magic of despair?

...

Meanwhile, in Odd House.

The fluctuation of the spiritual vein caused the lights to flicker. The already fragile light bulbs in the house went on strike completely after flashing twice, and the electric fan also stopped working.

The Abyss Gentleman, who was wearing a vest and cooling down in front of the electric fan, did not feel the heat.

On the contrary, his heart was filled with chill at this moment.

Is this the spiritual vein fluctuation caused by the reappearance of [Desperate Monster]?

There is no mistake, he will definitely not mistake this aura.

Unlike the previous magical fluctuations that were only slightly familiar in the strangeness, the aura of the desperate weirdo that the Abyss Gentleman could sense now was more similar to what he remembered.

No, not just similar, it's a mixture of Little Sadness and Desperate Weirdos...

——Could it be that Little Sadness remembered?

That's unlikely. There has never been a case where a monster can recall the memories of the previous monster.

Why is that little sadness related to [despair]?

...Thinking about it carefully, it might not be that Little Sadness remembered the past, it could also be that she met that weirdo who pretended to be [Despair], and then...

In any case, it’s best to find Little Sadness and figure out what happened.

The Abyss Gentleman's thoughts were in a mess. He immediately changed into his formal suit. His vest was immediately covered by a black tuxedo. He followed the breath of Little Sadness and went out.

...

At this moment, the little bear didn't know that his big brother was coming over here.

She was holding Mayumi Haga's arm, carefully checking Mayumi Haga's body inch by inch to see if there were any remaining marks.

Perhaps it was because she and despair could be considered to have the same origin. After all, sadness and despair could communicate to a certain extent, so she was very sensitive to the aura of despair.

The remaining magic power of the Desperate Monster was also transformed and absorbed by her and became her own power.

Strangely enough, that power can be absorbed with just a simple transformation. Compared to other negative emotions that cannot be fully interconnected, despair may be a panacea-type source of magic.

It’s just a pity that there are not so many sources of despair magic in this world.

Because she was very sensitive to the smell of despair, she could vaguely smell the abrupt smell of despair on Mayumi Hanega's body. But the strange thing was that when she looked for it carefully, the smell disappeared.

Such a small amount of negative emotion will actually be forgotten naturally by humans if left alone.

After checking several times, Xiao Xiong could not find anything abnormal with Mayumi Hanega, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mayumi Yuga stretched out her arms, lowered her eyes and asked Xiao Xiong: "Have you finished the inspection?"

"It's over, it's over!" The little bear came to his senses and subconsciously looked up to see Mayumi Hanega only wearing a thin vest on her upper body. Her hair was still dripping with water, and the white vest was a little wet at the collar, making it appear transparent.

She blushed again and lowered her head.

Mayumi Hanega just came out of the bathroom and changed into home clothes. Because the weather was very hot, it was just a tank top and shorts.

It has to be said that Mayumi Haga's dressing taste is below average. The vest and shorts she is wearing have no sense of design at all. They are not something that girls of her age would choose to wear when they have friends at home.

But if a person is good-looking and has a good figure, the clothes will look good on him.

The little bear's face immediately turned red.

The blush on the face of the white polar bear doll seemed very abrupt, but Mayumi Haga had become a little accustomed to the style of drawing the weirdos in this world and did not feel uncomfortable.

This was the first time that Little Bear and Mayumi were intimate under such circumstances. After all, whenever he wanted to be intimate with her before, Mayumi would push him away mercilessly.

And it's comfortable to be around Mayumi.

She is a weirdo who feeds on sadness. Mayumi Haga's sadness has always been her high-quality food, and she is also happy to be close to Mayumi Haga.

The little bear blushed and muttered, "Mayumi's body wash smells so good."

Mayumi Haga's shower gel has a light fruity scent and smells very refreshing. And Mayumi Haga's embrace is also very attractive to the little bear, after all, he can eat delicious food and it feels good.

Of course, she also feels good to touch herself.
