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

She took a step closer, and her only remaining left arm suddenly exploded off with a "bang," leaving her standing still.

Mayumi Haga remained expressionless, her entire body covered in the glowing patterns that appeared when she used her self-destruct blessing. Ulzana was also covered in these same patterns; if Mayumi Haga made a single thought, both of them would be pulverized to dust.

but……

Yuga Mayumi looked at Urzana's arm, which showed no signs of healing, and at the panic on the faces of her familiars that was definitely not Urzana's, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The next second, she exploded without hesitation.

"boom!!!"

During lunch break, the walls and ceiling began to shake violently, accompanied by a loud explosion, which startled everyone.

When I came to my senses, the white ash on the ceiling was shaking and falling down in a flurry.

"Oh, it wasn't an earthquake after all."

"It's probably just another magical girl fighting monsters on the school rooftop."

Someone said this, and the students, who were initially a little flustered, calmed down and realized that it wasn't a big deal, so they turned back to their own business.

The two magical girls who were following Mayumi Haga were very close to the explosion site and realized almost immediately that the explosion had occurred on the rooftop.

This happened to be a corner without surveillance cameras, so the two magical girls, who had quickly transformed, appeared in front of Kagura Yu, who was still trying to pry open the door, carrying lunchboxes.

"What happened?" Crimson saw that only Kagura Yu was there, and before she could finish her question, she realized that Haga Mayumi should be behind this door. She was shocked when she felt the residual heat outside the iron door.

"Why is she carrying such a familiar bento box... No, magical girl! Please open this door quickly, Haga-san is over there!" Kagura Yu was anxious and almost burst into tears.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crimson magic on the magical girl Crimson flickered slightly, and her hands easily pierced through the cement wall and grabbed the door panel as if they were inserted into tofu.

"Hey!" He let out a breath.

With a single effort, the enhanced body tore the door off.

Although Crimson is the smallest of the magical girls in the city, she is recognized as having the greatest strength because her immense magical power can completely enhance her physical body.

The weapon was not a musket, but a half-finger glove that looked harmless.

After being infused with magic, it can transform into gauntlets or brass knuckles, both of which are extremely terrifying.

"Mayumi!" Crimson, completely disregarding the possibility that calling out Mayumi's name directly might arouse suspicion, immediately rushed up to the rooftop.

Where is Mayumi? Is she alright?

—At first, he thought in such a panic, worried about Qingmei's safety.

So, why did the explosion happen on the roof?

—And then, this kind of thinking comes next.

However, what came into view was not his childhood friend, Mayumi Haga, whom he longed for.

She was a white-haired girl who looked like she was soaking in orange juice, all wet.

She sat on the edge of the rooftop, covered with a dry, large cloak. Her clothes were tattered and scorched by the high temperature. Orange liquid dripped from her hair, and the surrounding area was covered with splattered traces of the same strange liquid, making her look quite disheveled.

Since magical girls don't have X-ray vision, neither of them noticed that the other's torso covered by clothes looked a little unnatural.

Where the cloak had been, almost nothing remained. If a gust of wind were to blow the clothes up, the empty torso would be visible, rapidly healing.

Her complexion was really bad; after all, not everyone can look good when most of their organs are missing.

Even worse was the clothing... Her outfit didn't have the self-healing function of a magical girl battle costume.

In other words, the clothes destroyed in the explosion could only be repaired by Mayumi Haga herself by hand.

Until it's fully repaired, I'll wear the other ancient outfit for now. It's just that my backpack isn't out yet, so I can't find the ancient outfit for a while, which is a bit of a hassle.

As her lungs recovered, Mayumi Haga couldn't help but cough twice, expelling the other core that was stuck in her throat. She clutched it in her hand and then tossed it into her backpack.

He then stood up and adjusted his cloak.

Her movement of standing up while holding onto the railing was quite natural, and there was no indication that just ten seconds ago, her brain had just been regenerated from the pulp.

If you calculate the time, you'll know just how terrifying her self-healing ability is.

Less than ten seconds had passed between the self-destruction leaving only the core and fragments of the Guardian and Hitomi Tono's charge.

Magical girls are indeed fast, but it's no wonder that Mayumi Haga survived until the end of the world.

If it were an ordinary guardian, such as the familiar core that just tried to devour her body, it would probably take ten minutes to regain its human form.

Because its self-healing ability wasn't as fast as Mayumi Haga's, the core of the familiar had only generated a portion of brain tissue. Mayumi Haga had just thrown it all away, mixing it with some strange traces that the world had turned into orange juice.

It had been a long time since she had rolled around in such a disheveled state among corpses, and Mayumi Haga was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

The nasal cavity was filled with a strong smell.

Feeling annoyed, Mayumi Haga just wanted to find a place to wash off the bloodstains on her body... even though to outsiders it looked like orange juice and would evaporate in a few minutes.

Even after the blood evaporated, Mayumi Haga, who was used to washing off bloodstains, still felt a strong odor on her body.

Crimson didn't see Mayumi, and didn't care about the orange juice all over the ground. Just as the Guardian was about to leave, she grabbed the other's cloak: "Guardian! Have you seen Mayumi?"

The guardian girl pulled her cloak back up, which had almost been ripped off by the super-strong magical girl, and realized that she had almost had her clothes ripped off by this idiot. Her face darkened.

Miss Guardian doesn't like clothes that are too revealing. Even though the fabric on her body isn't revealing enough, it still makes her feel insecure about being covered by the suit.

She said coldly, "I didn't see it."

After saying that, she noticed that the magical girl Crimson was still tugging at her clothes, pulling them outwards with force. She realized that the other girl hadn't dispelled the enhancement magic yet, and she couldn't pull her clothes at all: "...Let go."

"Tell me where Mayumi is first!" Crimson was getting annoyed. She was really anxious, but the guardian in front of her wouldn't say anything. "She clearly came up here with Kagura, she's right here!"

Crimson instinctively grabbed the Guardian's forearm.

She had only wanted the Guardian to stay and talk things out so she could go find Mayumi... but unexpectedly, she didn't know if it was because her enhancement magic hadn't been completely dispelled, or if the other person's arm was inexplicably very fragile.

In short, the result was a "click".

Crimson saw the Guardian's face turn completely black, as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Main text: Chapter Thirty-One What are you doing?

"Hugs... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Magical girl Crimson suddenly let go as if she had been burned, taking two steps back in a panic. Realizing that she had hurt the other person, but not knowing how to deal with it, she could only cautiously observe the Guardian's dark face. "...Um, Guardian, would you like to come to the clinic with me?"

The magical girl who never considers when the doctor is free to help, even though it's her working hours, is scum.

Miss Guardian didn't say anything, she just pulled her arm back.

Xiaotong's grip is too strong... she even broke her own bone.

The regenerated limbs do require a certain adaptation period and are somewhat fragile. If Magical Girl Crimson had exerted a little more force, Mayumi Haga could have simply replaced them with new arms.

Mayumi Haga, who had no resistance to magic, was unusually speechless. She didn't give Hitomi Tohno any extra attention, but simply used her other hand to straighten her arm and adjust it slightly. Thanks to her powerful self-healing ability, the arm, which had appeared unnaturally bent, was easily put back in place, and the bones had healed completely.

The only problem is that these self-healed limbs are even more sluggish to use than the regenerated limbs, which is not very comfortable for Mayumi Haga.

I'm used to replacing broken parts with new ones, and I'm not so keen on using repaired original parts.

"Ah..." The magical girl Crimson was startled by her powerful self-healing ability, after all, this was a wonder she had never seen in person before, but had only heard about from other people.

so amazing.

Seeing the Guardian turn to leave, Magical Girl Crimson felt she could still salvage the relationship she had worked so hard to build, so she kept apologizing, "I'm so sorry!"

"..." The guardian's unfriendly gaze shot over, causing the magical girl Crimson, who knew she was in the wrong and was waiting to be scolded, to shrink back.

She no longer dared to touch the other party, and her original intention to stop the Guardian from questioning Yuga Mayumi about her whereabouts was also abandoned.

She felt that breaking someone's arm and then blocking them from leaving was a bit excessive.

After waiting for a long time, all they heard was the sound of the other person opening their paraglider, and a casual, dismissive remark: "None of your business."

—None of my business?

It took the magical girl Crimson a while to come to her senses. The other person was probably not talking about Mayumi Haga, but rather that the injury was not her fault.

Anyway, the magical girl Crimson didn't do it on purpose, and this injury was nothing to the guardian lady, as if she had just had her hair brushed aside without her noticing.

At most, she was a little annoyed by the fact that "her arm was broken by the magical girl Crimson".

Usually, it was enemies who were bigger or stronger than her who did this, but Hitomi Tono... she was so petite!

Although she was aware of the abilities that magical girls could have after transforming, Mayumi Haga was still unhappy with her own weakness.

However, correspondingly, the magical girl's physique is not as strong as hers when she's not transformed. Such exaggerated combat power only appears when she's covered by magical costumes.

Even without transformation, magical girls are no different from ordinary people.

Mayumi Haga ignored the magical girl Crimson and the others' desires and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The two magical girls exchanged glances, knowing they couldn't simply deactivate their transformations on the rooftop—after all, Kagura Yu would notice something amiss and fly away with them.

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

Seeing that the three of them had left, Kagura Yu, who had watched the whole thing from behind the door frame, was still unable to relax.

If she wasn't mistaken... that guardian lady must be the one from her dream!

Although the clothes were tattered, they were indeed the ones she had seen in her dream, and Kagura Yu couldn't possibly be mistaken.

Furthermore, considering that only Mayumi Haga and an unknown enemy were on the rooftop, the true identity of the guardian is definitely Mayumi Haga...

"Cough." A slight cough startled Kagura Yu, who was concentrating on important matters, and she jumped up like a cat.

She turned around abruptly: "Who?!"

It was Mayumi Haga, whose face was paler than usual.

I don't know how I used it, but I immediately returned here and caught Kagura Yu right in the act, her face clearly saying, "I've discovered an incredible truth."

After the projection was deactivated, Mayumi Haga returned to her appearance as a high school student in uniform. The only difference was that she hadn't used a self-destruct ability on herself in a long time, and was much weaker than before after her resurrection.

That's normal, really. Skills need practice to become proficient. Even if Mayumi Haga had maxed out her recovery speed before, she would inevitably become rusty after six years.

Moreover, the fact that she can still maintain her immortality after leaving her original world is already quite remarkable.

Kagura Yu was originally a student who skipped grades, and she was petite. Compared to the tall and strong Haga Mayumi, she was immediately overshadowed by her.

Because they were about to talk about a secret, Mayumi Haga stood very close to Yu Kagura and lowered her voice.

This meant that Yu Kagura had to tilt her head back to talk to her.

Mayumi Haga lowered her head, supporting herself with one hand on the railing beside her, completely unaware that this action had inexplicably pulled Yu Kagura into her arms.

From a distance, the two appeared to be being excessively intimate.

She had noticed it earlier: Kagura Yu's familiar yet nostalgic expression upon seeing herself transformed into a guardian, along with even more shock.

From the subtle emotions the other person revealed, she realized that the other person had probably already recognized her.

“You know my secret,” Mayumi Haga said seriously. “Then you should tell me your secret too.”

For example, what kind of dream did she have that made her so familiar with her?

Moreover, Mayumi Haga felt that there was always a sense of nostalgia about the other person.

Mayumi Haga wanted the other person to keep the secret, and was prepared to pay a hefty price to secure their agreement. That last sentence was merely an opening remark, intended to steer the conversation into the next topic.

However, the girl in front of him began to drift off into her own thoughts, and her face was getting increasingly red: "Secrets and stuff..."

"?" Mayumi Haga couldn't understand what she was thinking. She blinked and was about to say something when she heard the voice of another transfer student behind her.

"What are you doing?!"

Main text: Chapter Thirty-Two: The Little Bear's Request (Revised)

The newcomer was Belle, who was looking at the two of them with disbelief.

Belle was holding three bottles of strawberry milk, which she looked like she bought as soon as get out of class ended. Counting them, it should be for all three of them.

Her eyes welled up with tears in an instant, as if by magic: "You guys won't include me..."

Mayumi Haga was forcefully pushed away by Yu Kagura, whose face turned bright red. She barely managed to steady herself and almost tumbled down the stairs.

Mayumi Haga, who was given a hard shove: ?

What's wrong with this person?

When Kagura Yu ran away, she brushed past Belle, who came looking for them, without paying any attention to her.

The little bear, ignored by friends who wanted to build a good relationship: ...qwq.

This is her first time studying in the human world. Getting close to Mayumi Haga is of course her main goal, but if she doesn't have any friends, the little bear will still be sad.
