Give children a little self-destruction shock to their worldview.

That pillow must be the one the other person usually uses; I've seen it when I occasionally visit their house.

The transformation was only to fly out of the window of her house. After ringing the doorbell and opening the door, Hitomi Tono deactivated the transformation in front of her.

The pink-haired idiot's eyes were still a little swollen. When she saw Mayumi Haga standing behind the door in her pajamas, she sniffed.

"I can't sleep, Makoto," she whispered. "I want to see you."

After waking up, I came here because I wanted to see Mayumi Haga.

Hitomi Tono felt a little scared, as if Mayumi Haga, who was standing in front of her, looked so unreal, as if she would disappear at any moment.

Mayumi Haga did not answer immediately. The two stood in the dimly lit doorway for a long while in silence.

In the end, Mayumi Haga stepped aside to let Hitomi Tono in: "Come in."

We can't let Xiaotong stand here forever; it's quite cold outside.

Mayumi Haga's softened attitude made Hitomi Tono's eyes light up. Both of them had faced overwhelmingly shocking truths tonight (actually, only Hitomi Tono was struggling to process them alone), and she genuinely wanted to have a good talk with Mayumi Haga.

She was allowed into Mayumi Haga's room. The Guardian's room was clean and tidy, very well organized, but it didn't seem like the kind of room decoration a girl her age would have.

There were too few items, and the place was too neat; it looked somewhat lifeless.

Hitomi Tono couldn't stand this. She hugged her pillow, cheered, and pounced on Mayumi Haga's bed, rolling around and wrinkling the blankets. She then happily patted the bed to make Mayumi Haga come up with her too.

Having no other choice, Mayumi Haga sat down as well, but before she could even settle in, the other person pulled her up on top of him again.

She stiffened, thinking that Hitomi Tono was about to cry again.

However, after burying her head in Mayumi Haga's neck and maintaining that position for a minute, Hitomi Tono did not cry.

Mayumi Haga didn't feel Hitomi Tono's tears; she only felt that the other person seemed to be sniffing her scent.

The breath coming out of its nose was a little itchy, and its movements were like those of a clingy puppy after being frightened.

Hitomi Tono finally breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't smell that sweet scent on Mayumi Haga.

That color, that smell, almost left her with deep psychological trauma. The appearance of something so utterly beyond common sense on Qingmei filled her with bewilderment and fear.

—Is that the smell of a real bow?

When this thought crossed her mind, Hitomi Tohno was almost startled herself. She didn't know why she had such a terrifying idea, but she had to admit that the absurd, illogical, and vividly colored scene...

...Actually, it's kind of pretty.

Mayumi is aloof, and the color of her clothes is always cold:

Dark hair and eyes, fair skin that is almost translucent, and mostly dark-colored clothes.

But as the orange-red liquid trickled down Mayumi's face, it added a touch of warmth to her pale complexion, and her cold, deep eyes became hazy. She gasped softly, her body still somewhat out of control, her temperature not yet back to normal, yet she stiffly tried to calm herself.

Hitomi Tono was immersed in that tenderness for a moment, and was momentarily captivated.

Main Text: Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Prankster (4K)

The strange occurrences in the city called "Miracle" did not escape the notice of magic users in other cities.

Although the Reflection Space ensured that no information would be leaked during the barrier's effective period, Mayumi Haga and Hitomi Tono managed to defeat the giant dragon just as the Reflection Space was about to shatter, thus exposing the unusual magical fluctuations within it.

Not to mention the existence of the [Fire Seed]... its existence is like a flashbang in the darkness for magic users in this world.

Although Mayumi Haga quickly retrieved it, the news still leaked out.

Not to mention the whole world, at least most of the strange people in this country have noticed it and are eager to make a move because of the [Fire Seed].

Among them are strange people living in the neighboring city—Strange City.

In this world, there are a wide variety of strange people, and their numbers are quite exaggerated.

Compared to the number of weirdos in Miracle City, almost one percent of the population in this city are weirdos, which is dozens of times more than in Miracle City.

However, it is not as chaotic as the neighboring Miracle City. The magical girl Sky Blue and the leader of the monster organization are in a standoff, forming a relatively balanced system. Without the orders of the mischievous monster leader, the subordinates will not act rashly.

Speaking of this prankster, she is not actually a local oddball in Weird City.

Although Miracle City has the fewest number of monsters in the country, it is the place that produces the most monsters and exports the most monsters to other cities.

Most of the weirdos were born in Miracle City, but then had to escape for some reason and eventually gathered in Weird City.

It's not really a special reason.

Back then... or rather, ten years ago, there was a powerful freak in Miracle City who could turn the night into a world of terror.

He is powerful and has excellent leadership skills. He is elegant yet mad. With his sweet talk, he has gathered a large group of allies and plans to launch a full-scale attack on magical girls and create a wonderful world where monsters are above humans.

The prankster believed the "long-cherished wish" that the other person had told them, and was moved by the other person's vision of the strange world, so he was willing to lend a hand.

As a result, everyone was beaten to a pulp by the magical girl who suddenly gained superpowers, and they fled in a sorry state.

To make matters worse, the weirdo who talked about creating a world of monsters before the war actually just wanted to blow up the spiritual veins to set off fireworks so everyone could watch.

He hadn't even considered how to execute this massive plan! And yet, these other oddballs were willing to follow him around!

He's a prankster even more mischievous than a prankster... Of course, in the end, he couldn't escape the fate of being beaten up by a magical girl.

After that, the prankster realized the difference in strength between himself and the magical girl from Miracle City, and feeling ashamed of being humiliated, he slunk away with his tail between his legs.

She was powerful and had a group of followers who fought alongside her. She became the leader of the weirdos in Weird City as soon as she arrived.

She didn't want to recall that shameful past.

However, the location of the [Spark] that was discovered recently is in Miracle City.

What should we do? That's that guy's territory... no, that's not right, that guy should still be clinging to life under the magical girl's control...

Has that magical girl already retired?

If I go by myself, the tragic situation of the past might repeat itself, but if I don't go...

The prankster was caught in a dilemma, sitting on the sofa deep in thought.

"Boss! Are you really going there yourself?" Seeing his boss so thoughtful, the subordinate, his mind racing, exclaimed excitedly, "I knew the [Fire Seed] would be ours!"

The prankster was shocked. When did she say she was going? "No, I..."

"I knew you wouldn't let that Orange Juice guy act so arrogantly! What's a weirdo who just spits out juice? Those lackeys on the forum are driving me crazy!" The subordinate became even more excited, finally able to retaliate against the lackeys on the forum who were bragging about their leader's immediate departure.

Clearly, there are already discussion threads about the "Spark" on the forum.

Powerful eccentrics with a certain status usually have many loyal and sycophantic subordinates, while weaker eccentrics rely on these bosses for protection.

Perhaps they really developed feelings for each other, and among the strange people who were under their protection, there was a strong trend of praising their own big brother, especially on the forum.

In the discussion thread of "[Tinder]", these leaders never appeared, but because they had subordinates, they never missed a single discussion.

Now everyone has even created a popularity ranking to see who can capture the "Fire Seed" first.

The Orange Juice Monster from the neighboring Sweet City isn't very strong, but he has a bunch of lackeys who brag on the forums every day and occasionally put down the Prank Monster, who was his former rival. This makes his subordinates, who initially thought the Prank Monster wouldn't get involved, extremely annoyed.

Now that his eldest sister also intends to participate in this "Spark" competition, he sees a glimmer of hope for victory!

He burst into tears: "That's wonderful! I'll get your luggage ready right away!"

Prankster: "...Wait, wait a minute..."

She hasn't actually decided whether or not to go!

"Those magical girls over there are all rookies. With you on the job, you'll definitely take them down in no time!" the subordinate said. "Only you are worthy of such a treasure! We'll definitely create a world for monsters!"

The prankster didn't hear the flattery that followed, only the statement that "magical girls are rookies," and was taken aback: "The magical girl over there... has she changed?"

That's right!

That terrifying creature is a magical old lady by now, how could she still be guarding Miracle City?

So, the two newbies are guarding Miracle City now?

What are we waiting for? We will definitely be able to seize the [Fire Seed]!

As long as she doesn't face that monster, there's no one in this world who can stand against her!

The prankster's confidence swelled dramatically. She slammed her hand on the sofa armrest, stood up, puffed out her small chest, and her face was full of confidence and arrogance: "Hehehehe—I have already seen the future where the [Fire Seed] is at my disposal!"

The prankster stands with his hands on his hips, revealing a face that is almost lifelike under the light. But upon closer inspection, one can see the spherical joints of this body that is very similar to that of a real little girl.

The more powerful the monster, the closer it is to human form, while the only difference between the prankster monster and a human is its ball joints.

With her well-groomed dark brown hair, beautiful red glass bead eyes, a form-fitting black Lolita dress, and little leather shoes, she really looked no different from an ordinary human being if you didn't look closely.

The little devil's eyes were darting around, I wonder what mischief he was plotting.

.................................................. .................................................. .

Miracle City.

A house of eccentrics.

Despite being called "The House of Eccentrics," it's actually just a dilapidated apartment where the Abyss Gentleman and his younger siblings live together.

The former magical girl, Shan Lihua, applied for this super cheap accommodation for them; the rent was practically free.

After all, magical girls are quite humane; they can't just watch weirdos wander the streets and cause more chaos for everyone.

The Abyss Gentleman is very hardworking and his income is not too low, but his family is quite large, so he has to be frugal when his salary is spread out among them.

After a long day of work, the Gentleman of the Abyss returned home.

"I'm back!" He was exhausted today, but after returning home, he seemed to be replenished with some strange family energy, showing a bit of excitement. "Little Sadness, Big Brother brought back the new schoolbag... Huh? Where's Little Sadness?"

What came into view was a desolate scene of bare walls. The calendar hanging on the wall was a gift from a shopping mall promotion during the New Year. The living room had only a small table with a missing leg, and the cushions next to it were mostly patched, of different sizes, and did not look like a set.

Strange noises and a burnt smell came from the kitchen. The apartment wasn't soundproof, so an angry voice could be clearly heard cursing inside: "Damn it! These bastard eggs!"

The Abyss Gentleman's expression changed drastically.

He rushed into the kitchen: "Anger, no..."

All I could see was a red-haired girl wearing a tank top... Calling her red-haired is an understatement; flames were burning on her head, her skin was dark, and when she got angry, her whole body glowed red.

A ball of shark-tooth-shaped flame roared angrily at the eggs in the pan: "How did you get burnt?!"

The kitchen was filled with smoke, and the pots were warping from the heat. The Abyss Gentleman hurriedly pulled out his magic wand and rushed to the rescue: "Let me handle this—"

After a chaotic and disorganized struggle, the kitchen was finally salvaged.

Anger is just like being hungry and wanting to fry an egg.

In fact, she can usually control her temper.

But this time, some oil accidentally splashed onto her face, and her anger flared up instantly. This led to the tragedy.

Looking at his now limp and lifeless beloved pot, the Abyss Gentleman, on the verge of tears, turned to comfort Angry: "Ah... I'm sorry, Angry, I'm late coming home. I'll prepare dinner for you right away."

"It's not my brother's fault." He crossed his arms angrily, sulking. "It's my fault for not being able to control my temper."

She calmed down a little, pouted, and began to berate herself, feeling increasingly depressed the more she thought about it.

Although he appears to be a brown-skinned, red-haired delinquent with earrings, shark teeth, and a perpetually grumpy face, under the tutelage of the Abyss Gentleman, Anger is actually a good kid who apologizes properly after making a mistake and is always willing to help others.

Of course, it's still very dangerous if it ignites easily.

Because of this, Wrath doesn't go out very often, and stays in the house where the Abyss Gentleman has set up a fireproof barrier, so as not to cause trouble for others.

Some eccentric people may look like rebellious hot girls, but they are actually shut-ins.

The eggs had been fried to a crisp and became the main source of smoke in the room. The other blackened areas, however, slowly recovered under the influence of magic.

Anger sat at the small table, chewing on the eggs and rice balls that the Gentleman of the Abyss had fried for her.

"By the way, where did Angry and Little Sadness go?" the Abyss Gentleman asked as he brought the food over, wearing an apron.

Anger swallowed the food in her mouth and replied, "It seems she made plans to go out with a friend."

"Huh?! A human friend?" The Abyss Gentleman was surprised, then very pleased. "The child has a friend now..."

"Brother, the expression on your face is disgusting."

"Don't say that... If we get along well, we can invite them over to our house later." That is, provided they're not a magical girl. "If they're a human who can get along well with monsters, you might even make friends with them."

His younger sister has no control over her temper and rarely goes out, which really worries the Abyss Gentleman.

"..." Anger didn't say anything more, but he still felt that his older brother was not very reliable.

A friend who is sad may not necessarily become her friend.

Put the matter out of your mind and focus on eating while still angry.

Meanwhile, Little Bear, carrying his schoolbag, was peeking out from the intersection, waiting for Mayumi Haga.
