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

A remnant of a former civilization whose homeland was destroyed by insect-like enemies? And perhaps their lifespan was greatly shortened because they couldn't adapt to the environment of this era? [Although it seems a bit strange, it also feels somewhat reasonable.] [Then I'm really going to ship them exclusively, I just love the beautiful, strong, and tragic type.] [But isn't Mayumi already dead?] [That's also a bonus, you don't understand.] [I really don't understand....] Because of her encounter with Mayumi Haga, Hitomi Tono also got to know Sugiyama Rika, who was already in a semi-retired state at this time.

Because Tono Hitomi was Mayumi Haga's only friend, Sugiyama Rika transferred Mayumi Haga to the elementary school that Tono Hitomi attended, hoping that Hitomi could take care of her a little.

However, after Mayumi Haga gradually emerged from her secluded state, Hitomi Tono no longer had the space to take care of her.

Although Mayumi Haga appears a bit aloof, she is actually a very warm-hearted and considerate child, and possesses a composure and maturity beyond her years.

Her earlier dazed state seemed to be simply because she hadn't fully recovered.

And when she took the initiative to accept the world, within just a few weeks, she vaguely became the most psychologically mature of the three.

"These three people" refers to Hitomi Tono, Mayumi Haga herself, and Rika Sugiyama.

At this time, Sugiyama Rika was in a semi-retired state, but she still needed to go out to handle some affairs from time to time, and she also had to start looking for a successor, so she was quite busy most of the time.

As an adopted child, during the busy period of Sugiyama Rika's life, Haga Mayumi not only did not cause her any trouble, but was even able to take charge of the household affairs, which made Sugiyama Rika's standard of living surpass that of when she lived alone.

After entering elementary school and becoming classmates with Hitomi Tono, Mayumi Haga was not fond of other people's closeness, but she would get a little closer to Hitomi Tono.

From an empty doll at the beginning, she gradually transformed into a cold-faced childhood sweetheart mother figure, which can be said to be quite reliable.

This kind of warm and gentle daily life has viewers swooning over it. The classic combination of the clueless pink-haired guy and the grumpy black-haired guy is quite the classic pairing.

This continued until the two entered junior high school, when Hitomi Tono accidentally became a magical girl.

Bonus Chapter 13. The Uncle Party

During her junior high school years, Hitomi Tono realized that she must have known some secret.

For some reason, my neighbor Mayumi's older sister, Sugiyama Rika, has been staring at me lately.

Moreover, Hitomi Tono felt that she had seen Sugiyama Rika's face somewhere before, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination.

She looks kind of familiar... The reason she looks familiar isn't because she's Mayumi Haga's guardian, but because Hitomi Tono seems to have seen Rika Sugiyama active in other situations.

But when I try to recall it carefully, I can't remember anything.

Is it just my imagination?

Isn't that something that happens occasionally? That feeling of familiarity, like you've seen someone before, even in an unfamiliar setting... Could it be that I've seen Sugiyama Rika in my dream? For a moment, Hitomi Tono unconsciously paid more attention to Sugiyama Rika.

This point was also noticed by Sugiyama Rika, who was deliberately testing her juniors.

Yes, this was done intentionally by Sugiyama Rika.

With most of her business settled and Mayumi Haga now able to work independently, Rika Sugiyama decided to leave Miracle City for her round-the-world trip.

Before that, she must find a successor.

The original plan was to observe whether Mayumi Haga had the aptitude to become a magical girl, but it turned out that Mayumi Haga had no magical affinity whatsoever and was completely unable to form a contract with a gem beast.

But there's another kind and honest child right under Sugiyama Rika's nose.

That is, Tono Hitomi, who always plays with Mayumi Haga, is a kind, cheerful, and lively girl who seems to have good athletic ability.

Therefore, Sugiyama Rika designed a small test: she modified part of the cognitive barrier magic and deliberately revealed a flaw in front of Tono Hitomi, wanting to see if Tono Hitomi could detect that something was wrong.

After all, as the previous generation's magical girl Akane, Sugiyama Rika's face has actually been active on the big screen for a long time.

If it weren't for the cognitive barriers inherent in magical girls, her identity would have been discovered by the public long ago.

As it turns out, Hitomi Tono has a strong sense of magic and a natural sensitivity to magic, making her a very promising talent.

Next, all we need to do is see if Hitomi Tohno has the determination to become a magical girl and protect this city.

Hitomi Tono didn't know that Sugiyama Rika had been paying so much attention to her lately because of this; she just felt that Rika-neechan had been acting a little strange lately.

"Mayumi, don't you think Rika-neechan has been acting a little strange lately...?" The pink-haired puppy seemed confused and couldn't help but mutter to himself while walking to school with Mayumi Haga. "I came to find you to walk to school today, and she was actually awake."

"Didn't you used to sleep until noon?" "Going on a trip?"

"Tono Hitomi realized that it was impossible for Haga Mayumi to ask for leave from school at this time, and it seemed that Haga Mayumi did not want to travel at all. "Is she going by herself?"

"Could it be a graduation trip that's been delayed for more than half a year?"

However, given Li Hua's personality, she should be able to leave whenever she wants, so why has she delayed until now?

"I've been busy dealing with some things lately, and I can't leave easily until they're all done. But I might get the results soon."

"Haga Mayumi didn't seem to care much about where her guardian was going, but as she said this, her gaze fell subtly on Tono Hitomi."

[That look in her eyes seems very meaningful.] [The Crimson One is probably choosing her successor right now. She's been keeping an eye on Hitomi lately because Hitomi is the most suitable.] [Mayumi wasn't chosen because she doesn't really have the qualifications to become a Magical Girl, right?]

It seems the Jewel Beasts pay attention to the contractor's personality. Mayumi, being a quiet and reserved type, didn't seem to be very popular among the previous generation of Jewel Beasts. [Rival didn't seem to tell Mayumi about being a magical girl, did she?] [So Mayumi discovered this place herself?] [Mayumi has such a perceptive face; she's definitely the kind of person who discovers all secrets quietly and keeps them well.] [She seems incredibly intelligent, on a completely different level from characters in children's series.] [I heard a spoiler from an insider yesterday that Mayumi isn't from this world, which is why she can identify magical girls by their hair color.] [I think I heard that too; it's said she comes from a very cruel world, which clashes quite a bit with the worldview of this children's series, and there are some strange keywords like self-destruction and orange juice.] [Although it sounds far-fetched, it doesn't seem strange if it's a children's series.] [If I remember correctly, this series has collaborated with Gorilla, even Ultraman, and the magical girl series next door that's not at all children's.] [That's very interesting.] Although that's what the comments say, there are just too many strange spoilers, and none of them seem very reliable.

What do you mean by saying that Mayumi Haga is actually immortal but turns into delicious orange juice after an explosion, and that she has to rely on a silver party to survive a death crisis? Are you kidding me? This kind of plot could never appear in a children's work.

If that's really the case, then it just means... the production team really understands exactly what the audience wants to see, please give us more!

Furthermore, if no one dies, how do you explain the fact that Mayumi Haga was already dead in the previous high school storyline? That just doesn't make sense.

[It's a pity that the insider only revealed part of the plot before the post was quickly shut down. If more details had been revealed, we could have seen if it was true.] [The immortality part is okay, but the orange juice is too far-fetched.] [Although people in this world don't bleed when they're injured, orange juice flowing in their veins doesn't seem human at all.] [Speaking of orange juice, I'm actually a little thirsty. I'll go get a glass.] The comments section was filled with laughter. On the screen, Mayumi Haga, who had already sensed that some magical girl special plot was probably going to happen between Hitomi Tono and Rika Sugiyama, had subtly withdrawn her gaze.

She did know that her guardian was a magical girl.

After all, the guardian's disguise was really clumsy.

Even without transforming, that face and conspicuous hair color completely exposed the other party's identity.

Why can't people in this world see it?

Haga Mayumi didn't understand.

Bonus Chapter 14. If you anger Mayumi Haga

Hitomi Tono eventually became a magical girl.

The incident began when she and Mayumi Haga encountered a monster attack on their way home from school.

At this point, the previous generation of magical girls had not appeared for a long time.

And the strange people have all disappeared for a long time.

In the middle of the transition between the two generations of magical girls, there was actually a period of peace and tranquility.

The previous generation of monsters has been defeated by magical girls, and the current generation of monsters has not yet grown enough to make their appearance. Meanwhile, most of the magical girls are about to enter the next stage of their lives and are on the verge of retirement.

Therefore, Hitomi Tono hasn't actually been attacked by children's special products from around the world for quite a while.

This monster attack also foreshadows the arrival of the next magical girl era.

To protect Mayumi Haga, Hitomi Tono contracts to become a magical girl.

As a middle school student, Hitomi Tono didn't have the awareness to protect the city right away, but she genuinely had the courage to protect those around her, which earned her the approval of Jewel Beast and Rika Sugiyama.

Of course, it was Mayumi Haga who decided to become a magical girl.

"Mayumi is just an ordinary person, so it's best not to tell her anything about magical girls."

"After Tono Hitomi's first transformation, Sugiyama Rika, who arrived at the scene and took her away, solemnly reminded Tono Hitomi."

Putting aside the fact that working as a magical girl might involve the people around her, given Mayumi Haga's physical condition... it's probably best not to worry her.

When they first picked up Mayumi Haga, she was just a skinny little girl, so in Sugiyama Rika's mind, Mayumi's image was somewhat fixed as "frail".

Moreover, even though she was fed and cared for well, Yuga Mayumi didn't gain much weight and had no magic power at all, so she definitely hadn't fully recovered her strength.

Because she didn't want Mayumi Haga to worry, Rika Sugiyama secretly made an agreement with Hitomi Tono to keep it a secret from Mayumi.

"I never expected that Sister Li Hua could handle things... especially such big things."

Hitomi Tono found it hard to believe, but it seemed to be true.

Because she had observed carefully, it seemed that Mayumi Haga really knew nothing about magical girls and was completely uninterested in them.

Mayumi always seemed indifferent, as if she couldn't muster any interest.

Although this makes him seem somewhat out of place among the people of this world, it also makes it easier for Tono Hitomi to conceal his identity.

To put it simply, at this time, Hitomi Tono was still in a state of "super excited to have just become a magical girl" and was very new to her dual identity.

Hiding from her friends that she is a magical girl and secretly protecting them and the city is something that is really interesting to her right now.

[Both of them think they're doing great...actually, Mayumi just has to be exposed][Hilarious, almost like she transformed right in front of everyone][Mayumi: My friend and I went shopping, and when she went into the changing room, she came out as Magical Girl Crimson. -. Who is Magical Girl Crimson? It's so hard to guess!] [The Magical Girl's hidden identity joke is back again][I think I saw Mayumi quietly go back and pick up the backpack that Hitomi forgot to leave when she transformed][Hitomi rushed out during class, and Mayumi copied two sets of notes][Sis, how come you can skip the sports meet? Mayumi can't run two sets by herself][Sigh, Mayumi really did run twice][So pitiful, becoming a magical girl is really so miserable][She has to help the clumsy girl pick up things she left behind anytime, anywhere, and when Hitomi rushes out during class, she has to help her find excuses, copy notes, and try her best to appease the teacher who is about to explode. -. Sometimes Hitomi asks her out, but she will leave her halfway...So pitiful][She can only silently forgive her][Don't love her too much...!

This reckless brat deserves to be taught a lesson!

She can't copy my homework either!

She should be called out by the teacher and made to stand as punishment!

Spoiling children will only harm them!

But then again, I really like this kind of thing. Actually, I also really like magical girls and childhood friends who silently protect magical girls... just like I used to ship Tomoyo and Sakura... [Good taste] After Tono Hitomi became a magical girl, the perspective began to shift, from the perspective of Haga Mayumi, silently watching the clumsy pink-haired puppy as she made great strides as a magical girl.

It turns out that if you open the curtains in Mayumi Haga's room, you can see the magical girl Crimson flying through the sky.

It turns out that when Mayumi Haga couldn't sleep at night, she would sit on the windowsill and watch the cherry blossom pink magical cannon fire turn into fireworks in the night sky.

It turns out that when Hitomi Tono rushed out of the classroom under the pretense of a stomachache, Mayumi Haga, who was always focused in class, would turn her head and stare at the direction Hitomi left for a long time.

It turns out that, in the eyes of those who are watching closely, the secret that the pink-haired puppy is clumsily trying to hide is actually completely undisguised.

Mayumi Haga knows everything, but since Hitomi Tono is already trying so hard to win her over, she'll just pretend she doesn't know.

Pretending not to know that his friend had abandoned him after school, leaving him to carry both of their schoolbags home, he only came running back in a panic afterward, when in reality he had gone to save the city.

Pretending not to know that the pink-haired puppy's new friend, Yuri Takajo, is actually a magical girl, the three of them become friends, but the two of them always talk about things behind her back that are inconvenient for her to know.

Mayumi Haga is a silent and steadfast best friend. She calmly observes everything about those around her and considerately keeps their secrets.

At the same time, she herself also has a sad past that Chun cannot talk about.

I am always awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, always haunted by past memories and feeling cold all over. Even though the wounds on my body have healed, they still ache faintly.

She was like a peacemaker standing on the periphery of the bustling scene, assisting in maintaining order and silently watching everything, giving people a sense of security, but the emptiness in her own body was still bleeding black blood.

[Mayumi Naruto] [Idiot Hitomi unleashes her magic: The cannon is too loud! Mayumi finally fell asleep and now she's been woken up again....] [She's been having so much insomnia, yet it doesn't show on her face... Even though she's so weak, her emotions are still so calm, amazing!] [This seems to be the only time this week she's been able to sleep peacefully, and she was even woken up. -. Even like this, she's not angry, Mayumi Haga.]

[Your intimidating nature is only written on your face, right?] [Actually, she's very easy to mess with. If you provoke Mayumi Haga, she'll just quietly walk away.] [My god, she's so soft and easy to bully... You have to live up to that handsome yet cold face of yours!]

】

Bonus Chapter 15. Oh my god, the production team is so mean!

The audience never expected that Mayumi Haga, who was so introverted as a child, would grow up to have such a cold and handsome face.

They never expected that someone from such a seemingly ordinary pool would have such a good temper.

To be honest, watching magical girls on TV is a wonderful thing, but if your friends stand you up so often, and you have to clean up their messes, and they even wake you up in the middle of the night...

Even if we don't break off the friendship, we should at least give each other the silent treatment for a minute or two.

However, Mayumi Haga doesn't have the temperament of a hedgehog; in reality, the erect spikes seem to be just for decoration.

Because Hitomi Tono is her friend, she can tolerate everything about her friends.

【Haga Mayumi, you... with such a good temper, you'll only end up as a zero....】【Is this kind of taciturn personality actually a thing in children's magical girl series?】【It's true that it's cute, but I feel like this isn't going to be good】From an outsider's perspective, the audience can naturally see that Haga Mayumi's mental state is not quite in line with the norms of this world.

Her heart was built up to an unbelievable thickness; she silently shrank back and shut herself off.

Even after all these years of effort, it seems that Tono Hitomi has not truly opened Mayumi Haga's heart.

There was something heavy weighing on Mayumi Haga's heart, almost suffocating her. Her heart was at its limit, but she still stubbornly carried it all on her own shoulders, without telling anyone.

Or rather, she viewed this pain as something she was meant to endure, and sought meaning in her existence amidst this torment.

This is a self-destructive personality type that would never appear in a children's magical girl series. Watching oneself slide step by step into the abyss of destruction, one would never ask others for help.

What exactly happened to Mayumi Haga to become the way she is today?

This is definitely not the kind of personality a normal child should have.

Mayumi Haga's personality traits are actually quite popular, after all, she is a beautiful, strong, and tragic character with a mysterious and sad past.

However, this does not prevent viewers from feeling pity and curiosity for her as they gradually get to know her.

Many questions were finally answered in the final episode's flashback.

In this episode, Mayumi Haga also transforms.

But it's not about transforming into a magical girl; it's about a completely different power system.

Hitomi Tono invites Mayumi Haga to the mall, where they are attacked by the Abyss Gentleman and the Sad Bear. While the crowd is dispersing, Hitomi Tono finds an opportunity to sneak out and transform.

As for Mayumi Haga, she originally intended to leave with the crowd as usual.

But this time, an accident happened.
