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

Shouldn't you be giving her a princess carry at a time like this? Why are you hoisting me onto your shoulders like a heavy object and running like crazy?!

Although Hitomi Tono is a high school girl with a lot of girlish sentiments, Mayumi Haga clearly doesn't understand a girl's pursuit of romance.

Rather, if you give her more time to think, she might be able to come up with a reasonably correct answer, but if you ask her to react on the spot... I'm sorry, her slow-witted romantic thought process simply can't be activated.

Mayumi Haga's wooden emotional intelligence can only defeat one percent of the world's brains.

Moreover, in Mayumi Haga's eyes now, there is only the victory that must be won.

She can't lose!

Tono Hitomi was already smaller and lighter than Haga Mayumi. For an ordinary person, carrying someone weighing over 40 kilograms while running on the main road would definitely not be an easy task.

However, for Mayumi Haga, who has experience carrying a whole giant wild boar or even a small car across several mountains, Tono Hitomi is not a burden at all.

She was even able to move the drunken senior Urzana onto the bed with her bare hands!

Ulzana: ?

Mayumi Haga's strength and stamina were on full display at this moment; carrying someone her own age, she ran even faster than before.

Hitomi Tono, who was on her back, was in trouble: "Wait, wait a minute... Ouch!"

Because her stomach was being pressed against Mayumi Haga's thin, bony shoulder, Hitomi Tono's words were always pushed back when she tried to speak.

She instinctively used magic to protect her aching abdomen, but the way Mayumi Haga ran beneath her was like a wild horse, and the jolting made her eyes well up with mosquito coils.

This is the first time... I've ever gotten carsick... on a person...

The two magical girls in the stands couldn't help but gloat at Hitomi Tono's miserable state.

While magical girls do indeed share a deep bond of camaraderie, that doesn't mean the other two won't laugh out loud during these funny moments.

It's rare for Hitomi Tono to suffer a setback, so it's really worth recording and saving it in every way.

The two magical girls were also making a mischievous bet on when Hitomi Tohno would vomit, turning the last bit of romance in the scene into a farce.

However, the next second, after Mayumi Haga turned into a corner under the overpass that was not captured by the cameras, the two disappeared from sight.

……Um?

Magical Girl Sky Blue was the first to notice something was wrong: "Wasn't it said that the cameras provided 360-degree coverage?"

"Was it because Shinju ran too fast that it wasn't recorded?" Magical Girl Iris was also a little confused.

The fact that Mayumi Haga runs very fast is definitely not just her personal feeling.

Considering the race was being broadcast live, Mayumi Haga had actually restrained herself from wanting to run at superhuman speeds. Before the race even started, the Guardian had diligently researched the world records for sprinting in this world.

She tried her best to keep her speed at a level that didn't seem too exaggerated—although running a long-distance race at sprint speed was already cheating.

However, her efforts were in vain, and she even left a ghost image in the camera footage.

At this rate, Mayumi Haga shouldn't have been out of the overpass for so long.

But no matter how hard Magical Girl Sky Blue and Magical Girl Iris searched, they couldn't find her on camera.

Not only that, even the signal that Yuga Mayumi was bound to was lost in the blink of an eye.

The instant the camera was blocked, Mayumi Haga didn't have time to put Hitomi Tono off her shoulder, so she could only pull out a shield from her backpack and deflect the attack coming towards her.

The magic bullet seemed to be just a test, high speed but low damage. Yuga Mayumi's shield parry felt like hitting a badminton shuttlecock back.

However, she wasn't the type to judge the strength of her opponent based on just one exchange. She cautiously stared intently at the uninvited guest who had appeared before her, her brows slowly furrowing.

A strange, unfamiliar person.

Her messy, ghost-like black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her button eyes glowed with a magical purple light. She sat on a life-sized, unconscious teddy bear with her legs crossed, grinning at herself.

Not a contestant.

Haga Mayumi could tell.

The other person wasn't wearing the T-shirt that all contestants were required to wear, and she had no recollection of seeing them before. Initially, she thought they were staff members deliberately causing trouble, but when she saw the other person sitting on a teddy bear, Mayumi Haga realized that they had come with ill intentions.

but……

Mayumi Haga watched as the little bear secretly gestured to her behind the enemy's back, but she wasn't worried about his situation.

Text: 309. A Little Sadness's ( ) Swallowing Experience

Mayumi Haga was indeed not worried about the bear's safety.

Although Little Bear doesn't have any outstanding achievements in actual combat and doesn't have much experience, he's more than capable of dealing with an enemy of this caliber.

Moreover... Mayumi Haga also keenly sensed that this strange person she had never seen before was also a strange person of the negative emotion series.

Because she took over the attributes of the Despair Monster, she was able to connect with a portion of the perceptions of the monsters in the Negative Emotion series.

She could sense the friendliness emanating from the jealous weirdo opposite her. Even when he was sitting smugly on the teddy bear that had turned back into a teddy bear, Mayumi Haga didn't feel much malice.

To her, this scene was more like the younger generation playing around with each other, not serious at all, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

The jealous monster was quite measured in his actions. Although Little Bear looked like he had been beaten down and was suffering terribly, in reality, after the seemingly fierce battle, Little Bear only had a little more dust on him.

There weren't even many scratches.

—It turned out to be just young animals playing rough.

Haga Mayumi understood.

The jealous freak seemed quite smug, but she had been away from Miracle City for so long that she had no idea how much her youngest sister had grown.

Thinking he could easily take down Sad Bear, he used a little underhanded trick and was overjoyed when he succeeded.

Little did they know, the little bear was simply playing along.

Because she didn't know if transforming here would reveal Tono Hitomi's identity, and since the latter was clearly still dizzy from running wildly, Haga Mayumi decided to handle it herself.

She rubbed the black gemstone embedded in her wristband with her fingertip, and the figure of Raven Feather appeared, expanding in a short breath to protect Tono Hitomi and get behind Haga Mayumi.

Just like how magical girls' gem beasts are usually carried around as accessories, Karasuha also occupies an accessory position on Mayumi Haga.

Around her neck hung the core shared by the two guardian predecessors, Urzana and Fuyun. If you look closely, you can actually see the patterns formed by the blessing left by Lania on her left arm. Raven Feather took the initiative to choose her right arm, which became the right wristband of Yuga Mayumi.

Mayumi Haga isn't someone who likes to wear lots of jingling ornaments; bracelets, in particular, would somewhat interfere with her daily activities.

After much thought, the raven feather turned into a black sports wristband, which wouldn't look out of place when worn during a competition.

Ordinary gem beasts wouldn't be able to transform into such a soft texture.

However, Ravenfeather is not an ordinary gem beast, and the material of her sports bracers is made by imitating a very rare fabric in the world of Alamo. Moreover, the star fragments that form the gem beast's body are not as hard as they look.

Because of these coincidences, Mayumi Haga and Karasuha were able to choose this type of sports wristband to work together.

In its normal state, it looks like an ordinary cotton wristband, but with just a little kneading, Mayumi Haga can quickly transform it into a hard glove and wrist guard that can cover half of an arm.

It is slightly stronger than the Guardian Set of Yuga Mayumi, at least it can easily withstand the slashes of cold weapons, and it can also provide the support of crow feathers.

Mayumi Haga released a crow feather to protect Hitomi Tono, and she could handle the rest herself.

No, maybe she doesn't even need to lift a finger.

While Mayumi Haga was drawing away the attention of the Jealous Monster, the little bear beneath him was clearly not idle either.

It's true that she was ambushed by the jealous weirdo's voodoo doll. But that doesn't mean she lost after being ambushed.

The binding magic that the Jealous Eccentric used on her, mediated by a voodoo doll, was taught by the Gentleman of the Abyss.

The Abyss Gentleman, a very experienced eccentric, was known for his ruthless methods in his youth. In fact, he had mastered many inconspicuous but very effective tricks.

Although he has turned over a new leaf, he still occasionally feels that he cannot let his younger siblings be tricked by similar tactics.

It's really embarrassing.

So, while the jealous weirdo was learning some tricks from the Abyss Gentleman, Little Bear was also occasionally learning a trick or two from her older brother on how to solve her current predicament, in a corner she was unaware of.

Moreover, the little bear has clearly incorporated more of its own elements.

When the jealous weirdo saw that Mayumi Haga actually had the idea of ​​accepting the challenge, he stroked his chin with great interest.

Her task was to delay anyone heading towards the rainbow track, whether they were competitors or people who had noticed something amiss and came to investigate, so that no one could cross the line she had drawn.

It would be great if the person in front of me could back down, but it seems that they might see me as an obstacle in this competition.

"Hey, this road is closed. Don't waste your time."

The jealous oddball waved his hand dismissively, perfunctorily advising Mayumi Haga to leave.

Mayumi Haga didn't leave, but continued to look into the eyes of the jealous weirdo: "You are neither a player nor a staff member in this competition."

"Quite perceptive, huh?" the jealous weirdo said sarcastically, drawing out his words. "But not very smart either, since smart people know it's best not to get involved in situations like this."

She initially thought that Mayumi Haga was too oblivious to notice the problem, which was why she chose to remain in a stalemate with her. It turned out that the other party was meddling in her affairs.

Is it clever or foolish? Most people wouldn't choose to get into trouble at a time like this, especially since there's a competition to be had.

"The strange man at your feet is my friend." Mayumi Haga still looked calm as she chatted with the jealous strange man while watching the cotton in the bear suit begin to quietly slip out.

Although she didn't know what the little bear was planning to do, Mayumi Haga still subconsciously wanted to buy the other party some time.

The jealous oddball remained oblivious to Mayumi Haga's intentions and the little bear's subtle actions; she was merely somewhat surprised: "A friend of Little Sadness? This child can actually make friends with humans? That's truly..."

Mayumi Haga had expected the other person to find it unbelievable or laughable, but to her surprise, the other person's expression suddenly darkened.

The jealous man's expression was somewhat sinister, and his magical power was clearly boiling with the fluctuation of his emotions: "...It's really enviable...Little Sadness actually has such good-looking friends..."

envy?

The other party had not given their name, but seeing how their emotions were clearly amplifying their magic, she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

This is a weirdo who represents jealousy... He doesn't seem very easy to get along with.

However, generally speaking, Mayumi Haga wouldn't want to associate with a strange person she's just met.

She has stalled for enough time.

So, in the next second, just as the jealous monster was about to launch an attack, Little Bear preemptively launched a counterattack!

All that could be seen was that the quietly pulled-out cotton instantly formed two giant hands, suddenly engulfing the jealous monster. High concentrations of magic surged into the jealous monster's joints, severing the reflexes of her limbs.

The cotton all poured out and enveloped her, gradually shaping her into the form of a teddy bear. Finally, the teddy bear skin under her feet turned over like a plastic bag, covering the cotton.

The teddy bear, now turned upside down, had many loose threads on it. She patted the dust off herself, her movements making it impossible to tell that she had just swallowed her sister whole.

Text: 310. A Thick Fog

After swallowing his sister, the little bear patted his belly and burped.

Despite her lack of combat experience, she easily broke free from the voodoo doll's restraints because of the jealous monster's contempt for her.

"I won this time!" The little bear patted its belly happily.

She looks adorable in her teddy bear form, and this action is quite cute, but the jealous monster trapped inside her belly might not be in such a good mood.

Tono Hitomi peeked out from behind Haga Mayumi: "What's going on? Are these weirdos fighting amongst themselves?"

At this moment, Hitomi Tohno still hasn't transformed, after all, a magical girl shouldn't casually reveal her true identity in front of monsters.

Some readers may not remember clearly, but the little bear still maintains a basic secrecy about his identity in front of the magical girl.

She always uses her teddy bear form when engaging in her eccentric activities, and has never transformed into human form in front of magical girls like Hitomi Tohno. Therefore, in Hitomi Tohno's mind, the teddy bear is a relatively harmless and cute eccentric.

Furthermore, she also harbors feelings of affection for Mayumi Haga that go beyond friendship.

Although they had fought together before (referring to the time in Mayumi Haga's mental space), they didn't really keep in touch privately, but they knew that the other party would not stand against Mayumi Haga.

—She's Mayumi's quirky friend, quite cute, and has a gentle personality.

Hitomi Tono's understanding of the bear is roughly like this: during the first competition, she went with the bear to help Mayumi Haga transform.

So now that the enemy has been eliminated, Hitomi Tono is somewhat relieved.

Faced with Tono Hitomi's question, Koko didn't actually know more than her. She only knew that her older sister planned to do something big during this period, but she didn't know exactly what the other party wanted to do.

To say it's an internal conflict among monsters doesn't seem entirely accurate, since the Jealousy Monster guarding this spot attacks indiscriminately.

She scratched her soft bear ears, then suddenly remembered something, unzipped the zipper next to her belly, and reached inside to look for something.

"Wait a minute, let me check my jealous sister's memories..."

Yes, the bear's magic is not just about swallowing people whole.

If it is an enemy she has devoured, while the enemy is still inside her body, she can access the enemy's memories, and even transform into the enemy's appearance to temporarily use the enemy's abilities.

This is not the attribute magic of Little Bear as a sad freak, but rather the ability of the doll attribute that she recently developed.

Enemies she devours will be toyed by her, and she can borrow anything from them during this time.
