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

However, Sugiyama Rika's total magical power was too great, and after her body was assimilated by the spiritual veins, her control over magical power was much weaker than before. The powerful brick-throwing technique was naturally very suitable for her fighting style, but such a massive amount of magical power would cause a delay of a fraction of a millisecond when trying to propel it.

Her problem with controlling her magic had actually been evident for some time.

Sugiyama Rika's telepathic communication was always the loudest, capable of waking Haga Mayumi from her sleep even from halfway around the world. This is the best proof.

While possessing such immense magical power is certainly exhilarating, it inevitably makes one feel constrained in close combat.

With the power boost from the Berserk buff, not to mention the increased speed, the sheer scale of the battle on the black dragon's body was enough to give Sugiyama Rika a headache.

Because... the scene was indeed a bit bizarre.

Whether it's the flesh and blood black dragon or the manifested True Bow of Power, they are essentially the same entity. The True Bow of Power can "melt" into this endless, writhing flesh at any time, and then suddenly reappear from another place.

Sugiyama Rika didn't want to personally blast the Power True Bow into mincemeat, but the other party wouldn't show any mercy.

After the initial probing, they caught on to Sugiyama Rika's magical rhythm and began to intentionally interrupt her spellcasting.

Fortunately, the shield was already on her from the start and wouldn't disappear anytime soon. However, Sugiyama Rika, whose physical skills were even worse than Haga Mayumi's, couldn't find an opportunity to use enhancement magic to counterattack, because she was interrupted every time she tried to mobilize her magic power.

If the magic of the shield needs to be balanced, Sugiyama Rika will indeed be a step slower.

But this is not a solution either.

Sugiyama Rika's condition is fine, but if things continue like this, the plan cannot be implemented.

Sugiyama Rikka quickly came up with a solution.

She hadn't done this in a long time... This kind of fighting style was something she only chose when she was a teenager.

Abandoning the balanced option of defense and offense, choose extreme stat allocation.

The shield was only a thin layer; instead, it has been comprehensively reinforced.

When Sugiyama Rika deactivated her shield, the crimson magic that erupted swept away the flesh and blood within a three-meter radius, and the baseball jersey she was wearing was torn to shreds by the airflow.

Flesh buds intertwined, and just as the Power Bow finished regenerating five meters away and cautiously watched the center of the magical eruption, the figure vanished without warning right before her eyes.

Her blood-red pupils suddenly dilated, and she saw Sugiyama Rikka, whose body was burning with a magical power like flames, grab her collar with one hand and about to press her palm against her face.

But True Bow is clearly better at cheating.

"Bang!" It was just a light palm strike, but in that instant, the body of the True Bow turned into blood.

Sugiyama Rikka only felt a headache.

This move... not only has a huge visual impact, but it's also incredibly cheating.

How can a person fight against a guy who can turn into a fluid at any time and regenerate infinitely?

It's like a battle between Spider-Man and Sandman; no matter what kind of attack, it can be completely swallowed by that body. But Spider-Man can also sweep Sandman into the sewers or put him in something... something the Power Bow clearly can't do.

Because of its infinite proliferation of flesh and blood, the black dragon's size is also exaggerated, and neither magic nor physical attacks can affect it.

Even a single drop can give birth to new power, True Bow.

This is even more Tomie than Tomie herself.

Originally, when Mayumi Haga first became a Guardian, the solid Guardian Core could also serve as the coordinates for her regeneration location.

However, after experiencing the first shattering of its core, the core of Haga Mayumi became sandy, and no matter what shape it was broken into, it could regenerate at any time and was no longer restricted by the coordinates of the core.

The Power True Bow is also the fully unleashed and out-of-control version of Haga True Bow, who can use micro-management to crush his own body into fluid or even mist with his self-destruct skill. It can be said to be all-pervasive and can regenerate immediately no matter what.

Neither magical nor physical attacks can affect her now.

If it were a pure enemy, Sugiyama Rika might consider simply vaporizing the black dragon in front of her with a magic cannon. But that's not the case.

Furthermore, in the inner world, magic output is severely restricted. Even if Sugiyama Rika desperately wanted to unleash a full-force attack, she couldn't do so without using her authority as a spirit vein manager.

Then use it.

Sugiyama Rika is not the type to hesitate at such a crucial moment.

Since True Bow has revealed techniques that I can't handle in my current state, I can no longer hold back.

She's not the kind of person who would hide her loss and not use her skills just because she doesn't want others to find out.

Isn't the purpose of acquiring power precisely for use in situations like this?

Sugiyama Rika completely ignored the True Bow Fluid that was wrapped around her and trying to destroy her shield. At that moment, she unhesitatingly released the first layer of restriction from the Spirit Vein Manager.

With a crisp cracking sound, a faint, iridescent crack appeared on Sugiyama Rika's right cheek.

Her right eye was also tinged with a seven-colored light. In the dark world shrouded in blood mist, such a soft and divine radiance was so striking.

Sugiyama Rika made a grasping motion with her right hand and said, "Solidify it."

The surrounding chaotic blood mist, which was eyeing them menacingly, was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand. Despite their best efforts to resist, they were still molded into a human shape, like rice balls.

Mayumi, whose power had been forcibly restored to human form, now showed a hint of disbelief on her face.

She tried to explode her body again, but after the pale blue flash of self-destruction, only white bones and rapidly regenerating flesh remained.

That move just now was restricted... by the [rules] of this world!

This series of actions only lasted for a few dozen seconds, and apart from her and Sugiyama Rika, no one else realized what had happened.

Sugiyama Rika winked at her, and her iridescent eyes returned to their original color after a blink, and the cracks on her face disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, the little bear arrived from behind.

She practically pounced on the still-shocked True Bow and pinned it to the ground.

Strange? Why does it seem like he didn't struggle much?

Although she was puzzled by the power of the true bow, the little bear still abruptly unzipped her own pants. She didn't want to waste time because of her own idiot.

The Power Bow was pressed against the black dragon's back, and the black dragon stopped bombarding it at some point.

Sugiyama Rika walked over and inserted the dividing needle into the space between Power Mayu's eyebrows.

The latter looked up, staring intently at the guardian, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But because reason has not yet returned to the body, it can only utter syllables that no one can understand.

Subsequently, the True Bow of Reason and the True Bow of Desire were also fused back into this body.

The restored Mayumi Haga seems to have fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive energy consumption—after all, she had been frantically bombing and using dragon mode for so long.

Everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thus, the crisis in the underworld has finally come to a temporary end.

Using the labyrinth key that Mayumi had left for Terasaki Ayasa, the group brought back Yoko Sugiyama and Mayumi Haga, who were still unconscious due to the aftereffects of the dividing needle, as well as the two strange people who were innocently caught up in this farce, back to their original world.

The culprit and the innocent guardian girl who was caught in the crossfire were both transferred to Terasaki Ayasa's magic clinic.

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

Mayumi Haga felt as if she had been having a very long dream.

When she woke up, she was faced with a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling.

It felt familiar because she had been here before, yet strange because she had never lay on this hospital bed before, looking at the ceiling of Terasaki Ayasa's hospital room from this perspective.

She recalled what had happened before: "..."

It's really strange that I could fall for such a trick.

Leaving aside reason and power, what exactly has desire done...?

After being divided into three parts, Mayumi Haga received three sets of memories upon returning to normal. Among them, the memories transmitted by desire were the most disturbing.

Although that state only lasted for a day or two, it was enough for everyone to have unforgettable memories of Mayumi Haga.

For example, a certain pink-haired magical girl secretly asks Mayumi if she likes her.

For example, Ulzana-senpai hugged Desire True Bow like a daughter and didn't want to let go.

For example, a certain Ms. Megragne secretly asked if she could bite Mayumi of Desire, because she really wanted to. However, she was seriously refused by the latter: "Although I like you as a friend, it will hurt a lot if you bite me."

Then, Fish Head Sister was whipped around like a top for half an hour by Urzana, who came after hearing the noise, until her chin was almost worn flat.

Mayumi Haga emptied her mind for about half an hour, trying to get all this information out of her head and then pretend she knew nothing.

But when Sugiyama Rika peeked in through the curtain next to the hospital bed, she gave up the idea.

A silly redhead poked his head in, and seeing that Mayumi Haga was awake, he exclaimed with delight, "Mayumi! You're awake!"

Sugiyama Rikka pulled back the curtain beside the hospital bed and came over to check on Haga Mayumi's condition, asking with great concern, "Are you alright? You and Yoko have been asleep for four days without waking up. Is it a side effect of that dividing needle?"

Of course, Mayumi Haga would not have any problems. Her physical functions were basically in optimal condition. Even after being in a coma in bed for half a year, she was still lively and energetic when she first woke up.

She glanced around and found no one else.

Sugiyama Rika realized that Haga Mayumi was looking for the others and explained, "It's too late now, everyone has gone home. I came to find Ayasa and stopped by to check on you, I didn't expect you to be awake so soon..."

“I’m not the one who needs to be concerned about my health more,” Mayumi Haga said.

Sugiyama Rika was interrupted and paused for a moment: "Oh, you mean Yoko? Her health isn't as good as yours, she'll probably be gone in a few days."

"I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about you," Mayumi Haga sighed. "No one else seems to see the problems you have, right?"

To be precise, in that situation, those who were further away could not see the truth.

Only Mayumi Haga, who was closest to the person, realized what had happened to Rikka Sugiyama.

Rainbow color.

The colors of the spiritual veins.

When it appears on a human, it means that something has happened to that person that deviates from the norm. After all, Mayumi Haga, who has also been immersed in a spiritual vein, knows that spiritual veins are poison to ordinary humans.

Sugiyama Rika's expression froze for a moment, then she scratched her head in a slightly troubled manner: "...Oh, I thought you wouldn't remember."

After Yoko Sugiyama woke up, she was escorted home by Rika Sugiyama and awkwardly explained to her parents, who suddenly remembered that they had a young daughter, why she hadn't been home all these years.

Fortunately, the world's consciousness provided a solution, leading the Sugiyama couple to believe that their youngest daughter's rebellious runaway was the reason she hadn't returned home for so many years. The two parents also felt that their daughter's refusal to return home was disrespectful to them, so they simply cut off contact...

"It escalated into a domestic dispute in no time," Terasaki Ayasa couldn't help but complain when she learned about the patch.

What started as a disappearance has now escalated into a tantrum and running away from home—a truly unexpected and unfortunate turn of events.

Having just woken up from a coma, I have to go home and face being blamed. It's really awful.

However, considering the extra workload that Yoko Sugiyama had added to everyone's workload, Ayasa Terasaki put aside her unnecessary sympathy.

After all, a guy who makes you work overtime doesn't deserve your sympathy.

As for Mayumi Haga, who was also affected, she has started to catch up on her missed lessons and prepare for the upcoming final exams.

Because there were so many things to do this semester, and she inexplicably became an additional warrior in this generation of magical girls, she often had to skip classes and even disappeared for several days, so she naturally fell behind in her studies.

She spent half a day catching up, and then went back to school to continue tutoring Hitomi Tono and Yuri Takajo.

After all, the real slacker wasn't her, but rather two other magical girls who were inexplicably made to look quite idle by comparison to her achievements.

However, in reality, it's just that Hitomi Tono and Yuri Takajo's daily work isn't written about in detail.

Having finally made it through the final exams, and with summer vacation now in full swing, Mayumi Haga finally has time to have a proper chat with Rika Sugiyama.

She was very worried about Sugiyama Rika's health.

These days, perhaps to avoid Mayumi Haga's interrogation, or perhaps partly because her younger sister Yoko Sugiyama finally came home and she had to go home to mediate the family dispute and watch the excitement, Sugiyama Rika has been hiding at the Sugiyama residence and hasn't come back to Mayumi Haga's place.

In fact, Mayumi Haga could have stormed in and seized Sugiyama Rika to interrogate her about this matter, but after thinking it over, she gave Sugiyama Rika ample time to organize her thoughts.

Once she finishes what she's doing, which is after the final exams, her unreliable guardian should be back by now.

Sure enough, on the last day of the semester, Mayumi Haga returned home with her schoolbag on her back, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Sugiyama Rika, saying that Mayumi Haga had finished her exams and that she had also finished her business there, and that she would be taking Mayumi Haga out for a big meal tonight.

It was just her and Mayumi Haga.

The text message ended with a smiley face emoji that looked suspiciously guilty:P.

After reading the message, Mayumi Haga already had some guesses in her mind.

With Megrana, Urzana, and Fuyun in the house, there were far too many eyes and ears to create a quiet environment for conversation, making it easy for secrets to be leaked.

Putting aside Urzana and Senior Fuyun, these two seniors are reliable enough. Even Fuyun, who has a frivolous personality, would not easily reveal secrets that Sugiyama Rika is unwilling to disclose. He keeps his mouth shut very well.

Those who haven't learned to keep secrets can't become guardians who live that long.

And Megaran...
