Yes, I did all this!

Yu Zhi was puzzled, but still asked in gentle words.

The girl looked directly at Yuzhi and said, "What I'm saying is: you are not suitable to be a magical girl at all, Huangyi."

"What -" Yuzhi's body trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the plate in his hand, but he still subconsciously took a step back, not believing that her identity would be discovered by her.

"——You, who are you! No, wait a minute, you can't be... Yuhi?!"

Yuzhi opened his eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of him. Although he was not sure, and because of the shielding magic, he could not connect her with Yuri's appearance, but Yuzhi saw the pendant gem tied to her wrist, and intuitively The identity of the girl in front of him was confirmed.

She couldn't imagine meeting the person she admired at this time. Surprised, Yuzhi became a little incoherent. She said intermittently: "Well... when we first met, my name is Cangming Yuzhi. , I have become a magical girl recently. Although I am still immature, please, please take care of me!"

Facing her series of words, Xihi's expression didn't change much, but the resistance in her expression became stronger.

"I have no intention of spending any more time with you, don't get me wrong." She said coldly, "Your presence will only drag me down."

"How could..." The disgust revealed in Yuri's words puzzled Yuzhi. The excitement in his heart gradually calmed down. Yuzhi did not give up and continued: "Well, magical girls shouldn't help each other. Is it right?"

"Even those who believe the most will betray themselves sooner or later." Yuhi picked up the food on the plate and said coldly: "I'm just here to warn you. Magical girls are not a joke. Not only You and the people around you will be in danger. If you don't want to die, give up this power as soon as possible. "

"Wait a moment......"

After saying that, she took the food and left the place, leaving only words to persuade her to stay.

Looking blankly at Xiri's back, Yuzhi's eyes were full of confusion and doubt.

Volume 1: Chapter 19: Awakening

Duanmumo sat back on the chair and looked at the sad Yuzhi. He picked up a piece of meat, chewed it in his mouth, and asked vaguely:

"What's wrong? No appetite?"

"No..." Yuzhi sighed and lowered his eyes: "It's just that I'm a little confused."

"Hmm?" Duanmumo glanced at the girl not far away, a knowing smile flashed across his face, but he still pretended to be completely unaware and asked, "Can't you do your homework?"

"No. It's just..."

After Xiri warned her, Yuzhi thought seriously about her past battles. The more she recalled them, the more confused she became.

Every girl longs for the idea of ​​transforming into a magical girl, and so does Yuzhi. When she found out that she had awakened this power, she thought about more than the awareness of fighting that Yuhi mentioned. It’s the excitement of freedom.

After Yuri clarified her mentality, Yuzhi, who was ruthlessly criticized by the object of her admiration, felt extremely disappointed, but it was a disappointment to herself.

Facing Duanmumo, she just remained silent for a while, and then told him the tangle in her heart.

"I just feel... I'm not suitable to be a magical girl."

She held the fork and murmured while inserting the mashed potatoes in the bowl unconsciously.

——It’s really not suitable.

Duanmumo did not speak directly what was in his heart, but ate the food without changing his expression: "Have I ever said that everyone was just a toddler at the beginning? Of course you are not as good as the experienced seniors now. , but after all, you have only become a magical girl for a short time, and this is a fact that cannot be changed."

"Of course I know this, but..." Yuzhi sighed and stared blankly at the people walking outside the restaurant: "When I had the power to transform into a magical girl, the first thing that came to my mind was... How many people can be helped, but - afraid.”

"Fear?"

Yuzhi nodded: "I'm afraid that my father and mother will know about this. This is my first time... With an identity outside of their arrangements, I don't know what to do, so at that time, I had I thought about telling them about it, but I still couldn’t.”

After having a beginning, Yuzhi poured out his past depression to Duanmumo, trying to get the answer from him: "But after being afraid, I felt free. When I transformed for the first time, I Flying over the city, seeing the scenery that I couldn't see as Yuzhi from a high place - that's when I knew I felt like falling in love with the magical girl next to me."

"...However, someone told me that a magical girl is by no means a simple job, and it can even put people around her in danger...I think that becoming a magical girl for your own selfish desires is Correct?"

Looking at the confused words, Duanmu Mo picked up the vegetables and ate them without changing his expression. After swallowing, he said: "Whether it is correct or not depends on your choice - I don't want to confuse the past with how vague it is, but this There is no single answer, but it is undeniable that if you want to fight as a magical girl and a warrior, you must have the corresponding awareness.”

Duanmumo looked at Yuzhi, his calm eyes seemed to be able to see through her completely: "Do you have the consciousness to protect others?"

"Yes?" Yuzhi answered without thinking, looking at Duanmumo with wide eyes.

However, this is not the answer Duanmu Mo wants.

He can feel that Yu Zhi did not really think about it when she said this, and did not personally experience the difficulty of choosing between herself and others. In this case, the answer she gave was not convincing at all.

However, he did not want to correct Yu Zhi's question. Only Yu Zhi could understand this answer after she had truly experienced it.

——As for now, everything should be left to nature.

Shaking his head, Duanmu Mo replied: "Since you gave this answer, why not do it this way?"

"Is that so..." Yu Zhi nodded blankly. Although she still didn't understand, since Duanmu Mo said so, she should have no doubts in her heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Duanmu."

Yu Zhi smiled, finally put aside her considerations, and ate the food in front of her with confidence.

Duanmu Mo helped her a lot, and pointed her in the direction like an omniscient sage. He believed in her even when she made mistakes. That's why Yu Zhi trusted him so much and had no doubts.

It was just that when she was eating, the words Xiri had just said came to her mind:

"Even if you trust someone, they will betray you sooner or later."

Xiri's words were so sure, as if this thing would really happen. Unconsciously, Yu Zhi paused for a moment and buried this thing deep in her heart.

......

After a whole day of playing, after saying goodbye to Duanmu Mo, Yu Zhi returned to the apartment, put Xiri's words behind her, and recalled what she had encountered on this day.

The days with Duanmu Mo were always happy, so that she always felt reluctant to say goodbye to Duanmu Mo, and facing this somewhat empty room, Yu Zhi felt even more empty and lost.

"What's going on, me..." Patting her cheeks, Yu Zhi tried to smooth out the redness on her face and sat back on the bed.

Across the wall, Yu Zhi heard the crying of a baby next door.

She didn't hate children, but she was a little impatient with the noise.

This new landlord is nothing compared to Mrs. Katsuragi. Yu Zhi sighed and took out her mobile phone subconsciously while lying on the bed.

Clicking on the communication, in addition to the sporadic parents, classmates and teachers, there is also a record of Duanmu Mo.

After a while of silence, Yu Zhi opened Duanmu Mo's chat window and tapped her fingers on the keyboard.

"Mr. Duanmu."

After a while, Duanmu Mo sent a message: "What's the matter."

What's the matter... After thinking carefully, Yu Zhi found that she really had nothing to say to Duanmu Mo, but she missed the time spent with Duanmu Mo.

After realizing this, Yu Zhi's cheeks suddenly turned red. She couldn't help but whimpering in shame and buried her face in the pillow.

But since the conversation has begun, it can't be easily ended. Raising half of her face, Yu Zhi slowly tapped the keyboard, and hesitated for a while for each word she clicked.

"I, want..." As soon as she clicked the next word, Yu Zhi immediately deleted it, shyly not knowing how to tell it.

There was no response from Duanmu Mo's chat window for a long time, as if he was waiting quietly, or just busy with other things.

Enduring the embarrassing thoughts and emotions, Yu Zhi finally said a sentence: "I had a great time today, thank you."

"As long as you are happy." Not long after, Duanmu Mo replied.

Seeing this sentence, Yu Zhi's face was flushed again, and she hugged the quilt and twisted her body.

In Yu Zhi's opinion, this sentence has no other meaning, just pure concern.

Such straightforwardness is indeed very Duanmu Mo's style, but even if Yu Zhi was mentally prepared, she still felt shy.

......

On the other side, Duanmu Mo put down his mobile phone casually, his hands quickly tapped on the keyboard, and messages and pictures quickly passed on the computer screen.

Finally, Duanmu Mo's hand paused, clicked on one of the web pages, and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Oh? Is this Yu Zhi's school?"

Even if Duanmu Mo had never heard of this school, he knew some information from Yu Zhi. The courses were tight and the learning tasks were heavy, but this still did not change the school's position among the best in the world.

As one of the best middle schools, it also attracted much attention from reporters, and any activities would be posted online.

On this page, Duanmu Mo saw a class photo with the school's teaching building as the background, and also saw a familiar face.

Leaving the picture at a corner of the screen, Duanmu Mo continued to tap with his fingers, and more detailed information appeared in front of Duanmu Mo.

Finally, Duanmu Mo stopped his fingers.

"Well...Xia Yan, an international student, is about sixteen or seventeen years old now, and is Yu Zhi's senior..."

Looking at the information above, Duanmu Mo smiled.

"Is this your true face, Xia Yan, or, Magical Girl Yuhi?"

-In the photo, the girl named Xia Yan did not have the coldness of rejecting others today, and smiled as she stood in a corner of the crowd and looked at the camera.

Volume 1: Chapter 20: The Actions of the Monster

In the dense jungle of Kamishiro City, a spider ghost dug a cave with great difficulty, slowly walked into the depths, and finally knelt down tremblingly.

"My Lord, I'm here..."

——In front of the spider ghost, there is not a human or a humanoid creature, but a wall of vines covering the entire mountain wall. The largest one is as thick as a human thigh, wriggling like the tentacles of some kind of creature, terrifying and horrifying. people.

Among the intertwined vines, an eye opened from the vines and stared closely at the spider ghost in front of him.

"...Why, the body has become less?"

The hollow female voice asked an unpleasant question, and just hearing this voice made the spider ghost lie on the ground in even more fear.

"This, this is because someone sabotaged our plan and not only took away all the bodies in the warehouse, but also killed all the guards in the warehouse."

"Oh? Who is it? Could it be Yuri?" The vines squirmed, and the voice echoed in the cave, as if he was very familiar with Yuri.

"No, it's not her...it's a weirdo that none of us have ever seen. He calls himself Kamen Rider Neville." Spider Ghost opened and closed its fangs and said in a low voice.

"Neville? Kamen Rider?" The vines covering the mountain wall suddenly laughed, and every leaf trembled: "Interesting, it seems I have to know this guy."

"Could it be that, sir, you are coming back..."

Hearing this, Spider Ghost was shocked and raised his head to look at the vines.

However, as soon as his body left the kneeling position, the vines suddenly hit him, and the hard carapace suddenly shattered:

"Hmph! No matter what, this is your dereliction of duty. No matter what, you brought me more bodies! Even if your behavior is discovered by a magical girl, your lives are not worth mentioning compared to this plan. !”

"Ah -" The pain caused the spider ghost to curl up on the ground, its body trembling constantly, and it did not dare to make any rash move: "Yes... I understand."

"Then get out of here."

The vine no longer paid attention to the spider ghost. Its eyes closed, and it began to squirm slowly, and finally stopped, sticking to the wall motionless like a real plant.

The spider ghost climbed up slowly, but still hunched over. He didn't take a breath until he left the cave. He glanced at the cave in fear and left as if running away.

...

No one knows what is going on in the jungle, and the peaceful daily life is spent like this day by day.

Yuzhi came to the office as usual. When he was about to go upstairs, he found that the door on the right side of the stairs was open. He walked forward curiously and found Duanmumo squatting next to the wheel of his motorcycle doing something.

"Mr. Duanmu, you are here."

Yuzhi walked in here. Duanmu Mo's personal space was on the first floor of the office. He changed it into a place to park his motorcycle. There were some repair and maintenance tools around the empty space.

Facing her arrival, Duanmumo just turned his head slightly to look at her, put down the chain oil and started the engine.

The cleaned motorcycle was a little damp, just like a new one, except for a low roar, which sounded a little late to Duanmumo's ears.

After all, it was a car several years ago. If Duanmumo hadn't modified it, it would have been forgotten in the garbage mountain.

"Recently, these weirdos may have received some information and started arresting people on a large scale. It can be described as frequent."

Sitting on the motorcycle, Duanmumo turned to look at Yuzhi: "I asked you to come here for this reason. Let's sit on and stroll around. I want to pass by some crowded places. According to previous experience, they are very It is possible to rob people in crowded places.”

"Um."

Yuzhi nodded and sat behind Duanmumo.

Opening the door on the first floor, the motorcycle sped away, leading to the place where people relax the most during the holidays.

"The students at your school should know a lot about it, right? Is there any place you would recommend?"

In front, Duanmu Mo's voice came through the helmet.

"Well..." Yuzhi recalled, imagining the street that Natsume Keiko talked about with her classmates a few days ago, "How about the food street near the school? Every time I pass by there after school, I see a lot of them. People gather there, I heard there are quite a few people there even on normal days.”

"Then go and have a look."

Duanmumo turned around and the motorcycle was speeding on the road.
