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

This time, he made several preparations. As long as he could obtain the power of the spiritual vein before those monsters in Miracle City, he would be able to possess supreme power that surpasses everything!

The midday sun was dazzling and scorching hot, but the vain thugs, who were completely wrapped up, did not feel any heat at all. On the contrary, they tightened their clothes even more because their hands and feet were cold.

If the Gentleman of the Abyss were here, he would be absolutely astonished to find that the person in front of him was a False Thug: this strange man's body was several sizes thinner than it had been twelve years ago!

Twelve years ago, the vain thug was a three-meter-tall strong man with solid muscles all over his body. When he stood there, he was as imposing as an iron tower.

The current rioters, however, are like mummies wrapped in dry shrouds, their limbs like tree trunks.

Such a difference in body size is really too exaggerated.

What exactly happened to these charlatans?

Only revenge!

He staked everything on this revenge!

He was determined to make his old nemesis taste his bloody revenge! Meanwhile, in Mayumi Haga's lounge.

Long, dark blue hair with a crystal-like sheen peeked out from under the sofa.

The hair seemed to come alive, turning into tentacles that helped its owner move, grabbing the edge of the carpet and pulling hard.

Using all my strength (?)

With a burst of strength, Megrana finally pulled himself out from under the sofa.

As the dark wizard teleported everyone else out of the house, she accidentally rolled under the sofa and was bumped by someone, which pinned her head down.

It was already a bit dangerous for her to try to get her head under the sofa, but now that it was pinned down, her hair, which she usually used to help move, was useless and stuck.

Unfortunately, the dark wizard had teleported everyone away, and Megaran couldn't find anyone to help him. He had to move half a man to barely crawl out from under the sofa.

Megragne gritted his teeth: "Damn black wizard, don't let me catch you!"

"If the black wizard hadn't been a smelly man, she wouldn't have been able to eat just any trash. She would have really taught that guy the consequences of offending the water tribe!"

In short, we should first think about what we want to do.

Oh right, Mayumi might not know yet that Sugiyama Rika and the others were teleported away. As Mayumi's best partner, I should reunite with Mayumi as soon as possible.

Despite having been a Bluetooth player for so many days, Mogragne still has complete confidence in his abilities.

She wasn't showing her true abilities when she was a mascot before, but now she's determined to demonstrate her skills.

First, you need to find water.

Unlike the inland city of Miracles, Bizarre City is a coastal city.

Although water sprites are a race that lives in freshwater, they can still be manipulated by seawater.

Megragne climbed onto the windowsill and immediately saw the rainbow racetrack on the sea.

The players' rest area is actually close to the referee's table, which is equipped with a magical device that can teleport them to the finish line of the race.

To facilitate the award presentation, Mogragne planned the route and set off immediately!

Grand Event

Mayumi Haga's left arm was throbbing slightly.

This was a very unusual thing for her, after all, her body's self-healing ability was strong enough, and she hadn't felt pain that stayed inside her body for more than half an hour in a long time.

It might take more than half an hour.

Her pain tolerance is far greater than that of ordinary people, and she may have started to show abnormalities several days ago, but she was unaware of it.

In this respect, her self-healing ability has become a hindrance, as she sometimes lacks a more concrete perception of the warnings her body is giving her.

So... what's wrong? Her arm wasn't so painful that she couldn't use it. In fact, it was just a kind of pain that felt like her flesh was being crushed from the inside out, not enough to make Mayumi Haga turn pale.

But what she cared about more was not what was wrong with her, but the abnormality of the blessing [Shrike] attached to her left arm.

When you first receive this blessing, there will be no warning signs characterized by pain.

At that time, both Mayumi Haga and Rania herself, who gave the blessing, believed that Rania's soul would immediately dissipate.

However, the truth is that Rania's soul remained in the human world by chance, and has remained there to this day... Mayumi Haga hopes this is not just wishful thinking.

However, Lania's soul has been gradually dissipating recently—the strongest evidence of this is the information provided by Karasu—accompanied by Mayumi Haga's abnormal physical condition.

Although there is no more direct evidence that the abnormality of the arm attached to the blessing of the [Shrike] is related to Lania's original body, Mayumi Haga is almost certain in her heart. She subconsciously grasps her trembling left wrist, remaining calm on the surface, but in reality, she is gradually becoming anxious.

The pain had reached a level that affected her, so what kind of suffering was Rania, as the original being, enduring now...? Mayumi Haga didn't know; in many situations, she found it difficult to empathize with others.

After all, there is a vast chasm between her level of perception and that of others.

But this did not prevent her from realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Right now, she and Hitomi Tono are heading towards the finish line of the Rainbow Racecourse where the Black Magic Society's visitors are located.

After learning the whole story of the Black Magic Society's plan from the black wizard, Mayumi Haga and the others decided to go straight up.

But at that very moment, a beam of black light shot into the sky from the finish line of the rainbow track!

He passed everyone!

For several breaths, no sound came from the crowd; the surroundings were completely silent.

It wasn't until the sound of Tono Hitomi's Luli Shield shattering rang out that everyone snapped out of their daze. At the same time, in various corners of Strange City, magical lights filled with malevolent energy began to light up one after another, as the contestants began to fight each other!

Although the rules restricting flight still exist, the restrictions on magic have been largely lifted, and for some reason, the strange people have started killing each other.

Mayumi Haga knew what this was; she had learned about it from the black wizard.

This is a domain magic prepared by the False Thug. All life in the arena will be affected and begin to fight each other until a relatively strong individual is selected. The False Thug will then take the opportunity to control these victors.

Logically speaking, the abilities of the False Thugs shouldn't be that powerful, and their magic shouldn't be able to cover the entire Bizarre City.

However, with prior preparations, such as tampering with the contestants' food and studying the ability to spread calamity, the current False Thugs are capable of achieving this level of skill.

As everything descends into chaos, Strange City is turning into a living hell.

The live broadcast of the festival has been cut off, and the contestants are unaware of the seriousness of the situation. They must race against time to seize control.

The Black Magic Society doesn't have many members, but most of them are mixed in with the contestants. Because of the Black Wizard's previous instructions, they took advantage of the chaos to take away some strange people who are worth studying. Now the broadcast system has been cut off, and the judges' panel is in chaos. We must find a way to restart the broadcast and issue a warning to all contestants.

The quick-thinking weirdos and magical girls are not so easily caught off guard; they need to figure out the situation first.

Just then, Hitomi Tono also contacted the two magical girls on the referee's bench.

Akari Arisu finally managed to get through to Hitomi Tono's telepathic communication and was frantically pacing around: 【Hey!】

Crimson, where are you now?

Things are getting weird. When the black light burst out, Arisu Akari was still on the referee's stand looking for Tono Hitomi. The next second, she and Takajo Yuri were surrounded and attacked by the strange people on the referee's stand.

These strange people, who were talking politely and gently just a moment ago, changed completely after the thick black smoke appeared in the sky and the live broadcast was cut off.

The two sensed something was wrong and didn't want to get serious with these irrational freaks, so they were currently just going through the motions.

Takajo Yuri's ribbon magic could bind all these monsters in an instant, but it required a little preparation time, so Arisu Akari was struggling to withstand the pressure while holding her sword.

These strange people on the referee's stand are people that Arisu Akari, the magical girl Azumi, has also dealt with.

But these guys have clearly lost their minds, and Arisu Akari, who was careful to go easy on them, seemed to be struggling.

While she was drawing her sword to defend herself, she was also communicating telepathically with Hitomi Tono, who had left earlier.

It would be interesting if Magical Girl Crimson also got hit because she didn't transform in time to protect herself... Although I hate to admit it, Magical Girl Crimson is undoubtedly the strongest of the three.

If even the magical girl Crimson falls for it and turns against them, then they're basically doomed.

Meanwhile, the magical girl Iris was more concerned about the Guardian's current condition: "...If Mayumi gets infected too, that would be really bad."

"Just thinking about the scene of Magical Girl Sky Blue makes my scalp tingle."

Fortunately, after the telepathic communication was established with the lodging, Tono Hitomi on the other end sounded conscious, and Haga Mayumi also showed no abnormalities.

At this moment, Hitomi Tono couldn't help but speed up her speech: 【Akari!】

lily!

First, try to restore the broadcast system and announce the current situation. We'll go find the culprit now... Waaaaaah!

As Hitomi Tono exclaimed in surprise, the two judges on the bench also felt a tremor coming from not far away.

Looking up, the direction from which the anomaly came... was actually the ocean?

!

Mayumi, you could hear me the whole time?!

As is well known, Strange City is a seaside city, almost surrounded by the sea on three sides, so people can easily notice any problems that occur at sea.

Those who had been distracted by the chaos around them and were busy dealing with their suddenly crazed companions only then noticed that the seawater had receded considerably.

People could see an extremely long, bright wall of water appearing on the sea.

At the same time, a deafening roar, clearly audible to everyone, came from the direction of the sea! The enormous, terrifying sound caused everyone's expression to change instantly.

The people living here are naturally well aware of what such signs mean.

"...A tsunami?" Mayumi Haga's reaction was a beat slower, but she had also experienced natural disasters before. Her travel experience in her original world, coupled with the fact that the country she lived in in this world was indeed prone to earthquakes, made her realize that this was very likely a tsunami.

However, the City of the Strange is protected by magic.

The voice of the magical girl, Sky Blue, rang out in the telepathic communication. She murmured, "Under normal circumstances, this would be nothing..." A hundred years ago, Strange City experienced an unprecedented tsunami. Although the existence of prophetic magic allowed for the early evacuation of property and residents, resulting in no casualties, it still caused the city to be in a state of stagnation for a long time.

More than a decade after that tsunami, a mage from the Tower of Stars came to the city and established a great barrier to protect it, connected to the magic of the spiritual veins, strong enough to protect the people and ensure their safety.

Generally speaking, magical girls are responsible for leading the maintenance, while the strange people who have obtained the right to mine the spiritual veins are responsible for providing the labor, so that the great barrier can operate normally.

Now... Magical Girl Sky Blue is in my heart.

It's like when it rains, it pours; the festival went wrong and then a tsunami struck... The great barrier hasn't been thoroughly inspected yet, and I don't know if it can be... well, it seems unlikely.

Damn it, the magic power of the great barrier was cut off ten days ago?

Magical girl Sky Blue only then realized there was a problem. She panicked. "How dare the members of the Dark Magic Society make a move?"

!

This is indeed a rare instance of malice directed at the world.

This isn't just about seizing the spiritual veins and the resources of the strange people in Strange City; it's also about plotting to bury everyone at the bottom of the sea.

There's no way to evacuate everyone right now. We only have a few conscious people left, and even the seniors we can rely on have been teleported to other time periods... It's really troublesome.

Magical Girl Sky Blue blamed herself: "If only I had paid more attention..." But it wasn't entirely her fault.

She's a high school student in her early teens, and she has to go to school and outwit all sorts of weirdos on the street. She thought the festival would be a bit easier, with everyone competing peacefully together... but then this problem occurred.

But now is not the time to say discouraging things.

She and the magical girl Iris quickly regained control of the broadcasting system.

While Magical Girl Iris explained the situation to the conscious people in the Strange City and suggested that they go to the shelter for a while, Magical Girl Azure quickly organized her thoughts.

The first priority is definitely to restore the magic supply to the great barrier... I don't know if restoring it in a short time will be enough to cover the entire city again, since restarting it will take about three hours.

But this is necessary.

I need to evacuate the crowd and manage the shelter first, then restore the Great Barrier. But what about the False Rioters... should I do both at the same time...? I was struggling with this when suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears.

Crimson and I went to defeat the source of the riot.

Suddenly, Mayumi Haga's voice appeared in the telepathic communication.

The cold, familiar voice startled the three magical girls.

Especially the magical girl Crimson, who was standing right next to Mayumi Haga, widened her eyes: "Mayumi? When...when did you learn telepathy? And isn't this the magical girls' encrypted channel?"

All I saw was Mayumi Haga take out a familiar-looking magic potion from her backpack, bite open the cork with her teeth, and tilt her head back to gulp down a whole bottle.

She did have a hard time learning magic, but after listening to the trick of telepathy for a long time, she did learn a little bit of it.

"Wait? You've been listening the whole time? You're not...?" The magical girl, Sky Blue, exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Mayumi of Calamity covered her ears, looking somewhat bewildered: "Can't she and I hear this? What is this?" How can even Mayumi of Calamity, who just arrived, hear this... Wait a minute.

In an instant, the magical girl Crimson understood something. She looked at Mayumi Haga: "...Mayumi, you can hear me the whole time?" "It's affecting my sleep a bit."

"Haga Makoto nodded, then opened another bottle of magic replenishment and drank it straight from the bottle. The pale pink liquid dripped down her neck and was wiped away with her sleeve."

I also casually tossed a few bottles to the Calamity Bow.
