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

This brings us to a characteristic of the Haga Mayu.

Her passive ability, [Mental Protection], ensures that she will not lose her mind amidst repeated physical destruction.

Mami Tomoe's resurrection using her body actually allows her to share this spiritual blessing.

Mami Tomoe's negative emotions are transferred to Mayumi Haga, thus achieving a longer period of mental balance.

Mami Tomoe felt strangely calm for this very reason.

Having endured far more than Mayumi Haga, processing Mami Tomoe's negative emotions wasn't a burden at all. She didn't even feel any change in her mindset.

However, spiritual protection is also time-limited.

Once Mami Tomoe's Soul Gem fully adapts to her current body, the spiritual protection will gradually weaken and eventually disappear. If Mami Tomoe were to fall into despair again and suffer a mental breakdown at that point, even Mayumi Haga wouldn't be able to save her.

However, since repairing her body requires a lot of magic power, and Mami Tomoe's current magic power is only enough to barely maintain her body's functions, the Spiritual Protection will remain until she receives the Lament Seed to replenish her magic power and fully recovers.

This resurrection protection period is very precious, as it concerns whether Mami Tomoe can become a true asset. Therefore, we must find a way to comfort this somewhat fragile magical girl.

"Haga, you go." Homura Akemi directly pushed this task onto Mayumi Haga.

Her relationship with Mami Tomoe is currently strained, and thanks to the mental protection, Mami Tomoe's feelings for Mayumi Haga have returned to normal.

After much deliberation, Mayumi Haga is indeed the more suitable candidate.

Haga Mayumi: "...?"

When it comes to giving advice or comforting others, Mayumi Haga is completely clueless.

Back when she was a guardian of her original world, she often helped those in need. That's just her personality; she couldn't ignore people in difficulty.

But how should I put it?

Even though she's already a skilled Guardian, Mayumi Haga still hasn't mastered the skill of comforting others.

She is tongue-tied, not very good at reading other people's expressions, and sometimes her choice of words and sentences can easily lead to misunderstandings.

After several attempts to comfort herself only resulted in her being scolded by the person she was comforting, Mayumi Haga learned to speak less and make fewer mistakes.

Asking her to counsel Mami now is a bit of an overreaction.

However, since she has been entrusted with such a task, Mayumi Haga will do her best to complete it.

However, on the other hand, isn't Homura Akemi assigning herself a bit too many tasks?

Why does this guy seem to think he's some super useful Doraemon?

Mayumi Haga sensed something was wrong, but for Mami Tomoe's physical and mental well-being, she accepted the job.

She wiped the blood off her hands, then took a towel from the side and covered Mami Tomoe with it, indicating that she should wipe herself off and take a shower so she could go out and see Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki.

Although Mayumi Haga collected the scraps of flesh with the idea of ​​making use of waste, both Mami Tomoe's body and the room were undeniably horrifying.

However, when Mami Tomoe learned that Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki were waiting outside, she wasn't so eager to see her two junior classmates immediately.

She opened her mouth, her expression showing resistance.

Homura glanced at her, knowing that Mami Tomoe wasn't mentally prepared to face the two people yet, so she didn't say anything and went straight out to tell the two people waiting outside that Mami Tomoe had woken up.

Mayumi Haga then extended her hand to Mami Tomoe: "Let's go then."

"Huh?" Before Mami could react, she was dressed in the other person's clothes.

Then, the Guardian girl grabbed me and took me out of the window in a paraglider.

Mami Tomoe: ? ? ? ? ! ! ! !

Mayumi Haga's idea was simple: if she didn't want to meet those two and create unnecessary awkwardness, she might as well go home first.

Mami Tomoe will probably feel more comfortable in a familiar environment.

And so, the two still bloodied guys, relying on their phantom thief-like paragliding skills, made their way back to Mami Tomoe's apartment under the city's night sky.

This was the first time Mami Tomoe had flown in this way without transforming.

She found it quite novel, but at the same time, her tolerance for the bloodstains on her body had reached its limit, so she quickly went back to her room to take a shower.

After washing, she finally felt like she had returned to the human world.

Wearing her own clothes, she stepped out of the bathroom and saw the Guardian who had brought her back still standing in the entryway. Because she was a little too dirty, Mayumi Haga didn't go inside and waited there.

After Mami Tomoe came out, she finally looked up and looked over.

When the tall, black-haired girl was lost in thought, her usually sharp features appeared softer and more innocent than usual. She silently watched Mami, observing whether there was anything unusual about the other woman's body.

To be honest, Mami Tomoe didn't really want the other person to stay with her.

However, it doesn't seem like a good idea to just kick Mayumi out like that.

After hesitating for a long time, she still said to the person standing at the door, "Please come in. The slippers are in the shoe cabinet on the left."

Moreover, she had something she wanted to ask the person in front of her.

"Do you know where my cat went?" Mami Tomoe asked Mayumi Haga with a glimmer of hope.

Haga Mayumi's body stiffened.

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

Homura Akemi didn't mean to dump everything on Mayumi Haga and just sit back and relax.

Mami Tomoe can't be left alone, and she's clearly not the right person to go, so we'll have to send Mayumi Haga instead.

She still needs to follow up on the matter regarding the [Crack].

The "rift" that Haga Mayumi mentioned can connect different worlds, and its coordinates are constantly changing.

Homura Akemi spends most of her time after school searching for it.

There's not much to worry about regarding Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki for now. Mami Tomoe is still alive, and the witches of Mitakihara are under her control. Even if magical girls from other places come to try and take over this territory, they won't cause any trouble.

Moreover, Homura Akemi knew who the magical girl who would be coming to Mitakihara next was.

Kyoko Sakura is also an old acquaintance.

Although he doesn't seem easy to get along with, he's actually a nice guy.

In this way, while preserving its combat strength, Witch's Night will likely also be able to...

……Um?

While contemplating the future, Homura Akemi suddenly heard a sound from the roadside.

“Mayumi has been missing for two weeks. She’s just an ordinary person. What if she encounters danger in this other world? Even if this rift isn’t a passage to Mayumi, I have to go…”

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, we still need to prepare for traveling between worlds... Waaah, don't cry, Crimson..."

It was already late at night, and Homura Akemi would not have come to such a remote place if it weren't for searching for the rift and traces of the witch.

But why is there a strange girl's voice here?

Confused and wary, Homura Akemi approached and saw a crack appear in mid-air, from which came a cacophony of voices.

Suddenly, a mournful wail erupted from the other side.

"Mayumi might be in this world! Let me go and let me pass! Waaaaaaaahh ...

"Don't be impulsive, Crimson! We can't confirm yet that this is the world rift that Yuhe fell into. Calm down first, or you won't be able to come back if you go the wrong way..."

"Waaaa, Mayumi! I haven't seen Mayumi for two weeks! Let me go! Let—me—go—away—!"

"Senior Li Hua, say something! Quickly try to persuade Crimson... Hey! Stop it too! Don't tear it open with brute force! Don't move around!"

"It's alright, watch me break through this passage! I'm going to bring the real bow home today!"

Homura Akemi: "..."

It seems like some kind of ultimate chaos is happening on the other side.

I was initially nervous about the existence of this crack, but then I felt like everyone on the other side was an idiot, and suddenly I relaxed.

Homura Akemi breathed a sigh of relief.

Side Story: Mayumi Haga and Madoka Magica: Madoka Magica Episode 17 - Strike While the Iron Is Hot

Hitomi Tono noticed something was wrong half an hour after Mayumi Haga disappeared and contacted her through the emergency call number left by Mayumi Haga's guardian.

As Mayumi Haga's best friend, childhood friend, and classmate, Hitomi Tono would wait for Mayumi every morning to go to school together. Even during winter and summer vacations, they would make plans to go out and play together.

But Mayumi Haga, who usually appears on time, did not show up today.

She tried calling but couldn't get through, so she simply went upstairs, took out her keys, and went inside.

Although she had no prior record of such an offense, her favorite friend, Mayumi Haga, looked extremely thin, as if she might faint at home.

Tono Hitomi was entrusted by Mayumi Haga's guardian to take care of Mayumi Haga whenever she had free time, so she has a key to this place.

Upon opening the door, Hitomi Tono immediately sensed something was wrong:

Where is Mayumi?

Where did her huge Haga Mayumi go?

The bed still bore traces of where Mayumi Haga had lain, but the person who should have been there was nowhere to be found.

Hitomi Tono noticed Mayumi Haga's phone next to the bedside table, with a missed call from her earlier on it.

Although Hitomi Tono may seem carefree at times, she is definitely not stupid.

She noticed the marks on the bed and the slippers beside it. When she opened the door, none of the shoes in the entryway were missing.

Even the coat I was prepared to wear is still hanging at home.

There is absolutely no trace of Mayumi Haga herself leaving home voluntarily.

Hitomi Tono's first reaction was: Mayumi has vanished from the house into thin air.

In this world, magic and miracles exist. Hitomi Tohno herself is a magical girl, so she subconsciously tends to think in the supernatural direction.

Moreover, this room had previously been protected by a protective barrier placed on it by Mayumi Haga's guardian.

If a villain were to come to the door, or if another magical ability user—such as the magical girls' enemies, the "weirdos"—were to kidnap Mayumi Haga because of her close relationship with Hitomi Tono, then there would definitely be corresponding magical traces left here.

But there was nothing there.

...No, it shouldn't be said that there was nothing there, but rather that there was another strange feeling that Tohno Hitomi was unaware of, lingering in the house.

Hitomi Tono is still just a seventeen-year-old high school student. Her experience is not as profound as that of her magical girl predecessors, and she is unaware of the "traditions" of this world.

When she frantically told Sugiyama Rika and Dr. Terasaki Ayasa, the logistics officer in charge of contacting magical girls in the city, she learned that Mayumi Haga might have been transported to another world.

Crossovers between different worlds have been a long-standing tradition in this world.

The other world will connect with this world during special periods such as summer and winter vacations to generate some positive interactions.

Most of the time, it's magical girls from other worlds who come here, bring problems, and then the local magical girls solve them.

Very few people from this world are teleported there.

Because this world is somewhat special, possessing a peculiar law of being geared towards children, it is the best stage to solve many thorny problems.

Moreover, because of its unique laws, it is not afraid of external invasion, since there is always a way to solve even the most serious crisis.

From this perspective, the world can be described as warm and hospitable.

But people from this world being transported to other worlds... that's extremely dangerous.

It's like suddenly dropping from an overly warm and comfortable environment to a completely new one. Even if the other world is just as mild, you might still experience some discomfort from the change.

Moreover, a harmless world like this is one in a million.

If you're even slightly unlucky, you might never be able to come back.

Upon hearing this from Ayasa Terasaki, Hitomi Tono almost burst into tears.

Mayumi Haga is her best friend, and now she's in an unknown and dangerous situation. How could she not be worried?

What if Mayumi is starving over there?

What if Mamiya gets injured over there?

What if, what if Mayumi hits her head over there and loses her memory, forgetting herself...

In that instant, the thought of losing Mayumi Haga flashed through Hitomi Tono's mind, and she immediately burst into tears.

The real bow must be retrieved immediately!
