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

This was incredibly simple for her.

She had said before the match that as long as she had a decent early game, she could ensure that no player could break through her defenses within the range of her items.

This is the secret to Haga Mayumi's victory.

As long as we take down all the opponents!

Under the blindfold, Mayumi Haga squinted, her pupils growing even brighter.

She gradually got into the zone.

-----------------

The match ended three minutes later.

Within those three minutes, no monster was able to break through the defenses set up by Mayumi Haga and take her position. In fact, everyone was stunned by the overwhelming number of props she unleashed.

Mayumi Haga almost single-handedly handled all the props, ruthlessly throwing ink, nets, bombs, flashbangs... at everyone else.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for Mayumi Haga to take a detour to collect items on different routes; she should only be able to collect one type of item when passing through a location.

But the wind was strange today; it blew all the props into her hands.

The last oddball floated across the finish line with a mournful face, and with the microphone-wielding oddball's whistle, the flying competition came to a complete end.

The first place naturally went to Mayumi Haga. The Paper Airplane Monster and the Popping Candy Monster arrived at the finish line one after the other, with only half a meter separating them.

Because they sprinted too fast, the two almost tumbled and crashed into the festival promotional airship of the Strange City.

Fortunately, Mayumi Haga managed to grab them one by one; the two strange creatures were only half a person's height and very light.

During the awards ceremony, the two oddballs stood dejectedly in the second and third place positions. Because they were so short, Mayumi Haga, who was taller than her peers, looked like a little giant.

Mayumi Haga successfully scored fifty points in the match. After stepping off the podium, she wanted to return to the locker room.

The fusion with the crow feathers cannot be easily dispelled—at least she's not very skilled at it yet. Mayumi Haga, dragging her two large black wings almost as big as herself, carefully weaved through the crowd.

"Excuse me, excuse me, sorry, sorry, please let me pass." Having finally squeezed to the edge, Mayumi Haga, who was having a headache dealing with so many people, was about to escape the crowd when she noticed that the person in front of her was a bit strange.

Not a weirdo, but a human?

Moreover, even though they clearly heard what I said, they didn't move an inch, as if they were deliberately blocking me here.

The blue-haired woman standing in front of Mayumi Haga, arms crossed, had a serious expression on her face.

He spoke in a very formal and methodical manner: "Where did this gem beast on your body come from?"

...?

Mayumi Haga's temper wasn't particularly fiery.

Rather than saying that she appears aloof most of the time, she is actually very easy to talk to and has a stable emotional state.

Even if someone speaks ill of you, you won't be emotionally affected. Besides, the person in front of you is just straightforward and doesn't mean any harm.

However… what this person in front of me is focusing on…

Is it raven feathers?

Mayumi Haga herself was not bothered by being questioned or even treated maliciously; she remained completely unfazed.

However, if the other party has their sights set on Raven Feather, then it is necessary to take this seriously.

After a moment of silence, Mayumi Haga replied with the same serious expression, "It was formed naturally."

Hoshino Yui in front of him was completely shocked.

Naturally formed...?

How can this be?

The five known Gem Beasts were all created by the gods when magic was first born. In addition to serving as magical girl contract partners and magical artifacts, they also possess secrets engraved by the gods.

The five gem beasts are actually made from the five pentagons of the magic base, representing [Courage], [Wisdom], [Perseverance], [Balance], and [Harmony].

The reason why the Star Tower attaches so much importance to the Gem Beasts is that the patterns engraved on the souls of these five Gem Beasts, when combined, can open the path to the Magic Foundation.

The magic disk records the past, present, and future of this world. If the information on it is altered, the world will change accordingly.

Because the Jewel Beasts harbor such a dangerous secret, they need to be strictly controlled.

If a villain were to write a terrible message on the magic disk, it would be a crisis of life and death for the world.

The person in front of me claims to possess a [naturally formed] gem beast?

That's absolutely impossible.

Hoshino Yui immediately thought that Mayumi Haga was lying, but when she looked at Mayumi Haga's calm expression, she felt that things were not as simple as she thought.

She said, "Never mind, you should come with me first..."

Just as she was about to leave with Mayumi Haga, she suddenly heard a telepathic message from Rika Sugiyama, that idiot who had promised to go to the Star Tower with her but ran back halfway to coax his girlfriend:

Wait! Earth!

Text: 295. Where would you like to take someone else's girlfriend?

The woman referred to as "Blue Star" was clearly a friend of her guardian.

But it seems that they don't have that much contact.

Indeed, if this young lady had previously visited Sugiyama Rika, who lived in Miracle City, Mayumi Haga would have known that she and Sugiyama Rika were acquainted.

Furthermore, the way she covered her ears and squatted down after hearing Sugiyama Rika's incredibly loud telepathic communication also illustrates this point.

Sugiyama Rika's extremely loud telepathic communication is already well-known among the magicians around her. Previously, Haga Mayumi had been wondering if magicians didn't hear any difference in volume when communicating telepathically.

Why does Sugiyama Rika often speak at extremely high decibels on the Mind Communication channel, yet no one seems to mind?

However, Mayumi Haga was reluctant to reveal that she could hear all telepathic communications, as it would make it seem as if she had been eavesdropping all along.

Moreover, she lacks a sense of security and is not the kind of person who can completely entrust herself to others when she lets her guard down.

Simply put, Mayumi Haga is a bit of a hidden, repressed pervert.

Because of this, she never asked, and she was always puzzled as to why Terasaki Ayasa's hearing was not affected.

It wasn't until later, when Mayumi Haga overheard Ayasa Terasaki complaining, that she understood.

The telepathic communication between magicians can actually be adjusted in volume for specific individuals.

Terasaki Ayasa had always kept the volume of Sugiyama Rika's telepathic communication just right, but the latter was always startled, and sometimes her sudden words would scare the drowsy Terasaki Ayasa.

Sugiyama Rika's telepathic communication volume is linked to her total magical power, making it the loudest among current magicians.

Incidentally, although Hitomi Tono's total magical power is greater than Rika Sugiyama's, the volume of her telepathic communication isn't as exaggerated because of the control provided by Jewel Beast Ryan.

When Sugiyama Rika was a magical girl, she could still control herself, but after breaking her contract with Ryan, she became the well-known defendant in the volume lawsuit.

However, the magicians and magical girls she frequents would adjust her volume.

But Hoshino Yui, standing in front of him, was in big trouble.

Hoshino Yui left Miracle City immediately after the contract was terminated and had little contact with Sugiyama Rika afterwards. They only reunited two days ago, but she forgot to adjust the volume of Sugiyama Rika's private chat channel.

My head was buzzing from the enormous volume that Sugiyama Rika had suddenly unleashed in her panic.

If it weren't for the fact that it was aimed at the world of children, Rika Sugiyama's sonic attack might have even shattered their brains.

Hoshino Yui covered her ears and collapsed!

Ayasa Terasaki, following behind: ...

I have to work overtime again.

Fortunately, as a retired magical girl, Hoshino Yui is tough and resilient. She was carried away from the busy finish line of the race, and after a while, she slowly woke up under the care of Terasaki Ayasa.

She woke up to find herself transported to Miracle City.

Terasaki Ayasa's headquarters, the Magic Clinic.

"...How could you do this to a former teammate?! And Terasaki, why did you join in this nonsense?! Let me out right now!" Confined in a hospital room with the full protective barrier, Hoshino Yui was horrified and pounded on the glass.

Outside the closed ward, Terasaki Ayasa said coldly, "It's not right of you to just casually take other people's girlfriends away, Hoshino."

"..." Sugiyama Rika turned her head in confusion and asked Haga Mayumi beside her, "Is Ayasa angry?"

Obviously, yes.

Although Sugiyama Rika ran back halfway to accompany Terasaki Ayasa on vacation, the latter's resentment at that time could not be resolved.

Moreover, Terasaki Ayasa and Hoshino Yui's relationship wasn't that close.

Although they were partners, they had once been enemies with genuine feelings. Although they later reconciled with each other out of respect for Sugiyama Rika, Terasaki Ayasa couldn't just let Hoshino Yui go now that she wanted to take her away.

She didn't dislike Hoshino Yui, but she didn't particularly like her either. She had to get this guy to reveal some information.

“That’s true, but isn’t it a bit too much…” Sugiyama Rika muttered softly.

Mayumi Haga pointed out incisively: "But she treats you the same way, doesn't she?"

Sugiyama Rika was horrified: It really is!

Terasaki Ayasa has always been a somewhat cold-blooded person who treats everyone equally. Besides, this won't really hurt the people inside; at most, it will only temporarily restrict their personal freedom.

It's about "giving them a lesson".

Incidentally, Ayasa Terasaki named this closed ward "The Magic of Eliminating Medical Disputes," and her cold gaze as she watched Yui Hoshino act up in the ward while wearing a white coat was truly a bit frightening.

This magic can block out most sounds and completely defend against attacks inside the house until the people inside have completely calmed down.

Actually, Sugiyama Rika was also used, but her situation was a little different at that time.

She thought it was some kind of romantic game, but she and Terasaki Ayasa were locked up for an entire night until they were exhausted before being released.

While Sugiyama Rika was speaking, Haga Mayumi covered Karasuha's ears: "...I don't really want to hear it, can we stop here?"

The two had now broken free of their fusion, and Ravenfeather stood on her shoulder, tilting its head. Shrinking to its juvenile form, Ravenfeather looked like a tiny black birdball.

With her eyes and ears covered by Mayumi Haga, she squealed in dissatisfaction and struggled in Mayumi Haga's hands:

I'm an adult winged race member, what can't I listen to!

Mayumi Haga glared at her guardian, who had no sense of propriety when it came to her words.

Sugiyama Rika's eyes darted around as she whistled silently, avoiding eye contact with Haga Mayumi.

Haga Mayumi: ...Forget it.

Don't argue with idiots.

Over the years, Mayumi Haga has developed some tips for getting along with her guardian: it's best to end the conversation when the other person tries to be unreasonable.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Yui in the ward had already calmed down.

She felt a little aches: "...Let me out, let's have a proper talk."

Hoshino Yui has never been able to figure out Terasaki Ayasa. Compared to Sugiyama Rika, who is easy to understand but unpredictable, Terasaki Ayasa is both difficult to understand and does not play by the rules.

Back then, Terasaki Ayasa was actually more dangerous to her than the simple-minded Sugiyama Rika.

While she still considered the magical girls here as enemies, Terasaki Ayasa posed an even greater threat. Often, Sugiyama Rika would take the lead, while Terasaki Ayasa would follow behind and use her schemes to leave Hoshino Yui completely bewildered.

Hoshino Yui is actually quite intimidated by Terasaki Ayasa, and even today she still holds the doctor in awe.

"I hope you will not spread the matter of the spiritual veins," said Hoshino Yui.

Text: 296. You should go and take a look.

As is widely known, the children's spiritual veins to the world hold multiple roles.

As the middle layer between the two worlds, the spiritual veins are like leaf veins that transport nutrients, supplying enough magic power to both worlds.

At the same time, it breeds all sorts of strange people, and many special beings slumber here.

It's like a magical river with no end in sight, flowing from the distant past into the future, never stopping.

Each city's spiritual vein is a tributary of the main spiritual vein, possessing different attributes.

“Actually, the information that God is sleeping in the Miracle City Spirit Vein is not quite accurate,” Hoshino Yui said. “It’s just that the Miracle City Spirit Vein is the largest branch, and happens to be the one closest to God.”

The gods of this world slumber at the origin of everything, at the source of the main spiritual vein. In fact, the slumbering gods can be seen from the perspective of every spiritual vein, it's just a matter of distance.

Moreover, ordinary spiritual veins do not allow others to enter.

"A question," Sugiyama Rika raised her hand. "Could you explain it in a simpler way?"

She didn't really want to hear these science explanations, even though there were some things she didn't know. But more than knowledge, she wanted to hear about things that were more important.
