Yes, I did all this!

"It's okay, don't be sad, it's okay."

Yuzhi patted her back and comforted her gently. At the same time, the expression on her face relaxed unconsciously.

After she disappeared, Yuzhi often blamed herself. If she could have stopped Huizi at that time, perhaps these things would not have happened. Although she also understood that she didn't need to blame herself too much, it was not her fault, but she still couldn't calm down in her heart. Now, Huizi's safety was a testimony of her efforts, and her messy heart finally found peace.

Huizi asked with sobs: "D-Did the classmates... miss me when I was away?"

"Yes. Everyone misses you."

"That's good, ugh... When I return to school, I will definitely treat you and Senior Sister Xia Yan to a meal, ugh..." Huizi said, wiping her tears.

"That's not necessary...Wait a minute, what did you say - Xia Yan?" Yuzhi was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar name.

"Yes, it's Senior Sister Xia Yan... didn't you come with her?"

Huizi sniffed and pointed behind Yuzhi.

Not far away, Yuri, who had released her transformation, was standing in the corner. Sensing their gaze, Xia Yan turned around and left.

"I...don't know about her."

He had never thought that Yuhi would have such an identity. Yuzhi froze on the spot, and the next moment, Huizi's parents also felt the scene, and Huizi immediately fell into their arms.

——There were many questions in her heart, but Yuzhi knew that now was not the time to ask these questions, so she quietly left the crowd and came to Xia Yan's side.

"...Xia Yan, senior sister?"

Looking at Xia Yan, who had a serious expression on her face and never showed any happy expression, Yuzhi hesitated for a moment and called her name.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go. I'm going to see that Duanmu Mo."

Xia Yan didn't answer her question and said directly. That cold tone made Yuzhi have no choice but to shut up and hide the questions in his heart.

"Okay...come with me."

Walking ahead, Yuzhi felt the footsteps behind him and was filled with doubts.

The name Xia Yan is indeed an international student, but Yuzhi has never heard of this person. Could it be that Xia Yan has dropped out of school now?

Not knowing, Yuzhi could only walk forward in confusion until he came to Duanmu Mo's office.

——Pushing open the door, Duanmumo raised his eyes to look at Yuzhi at the door, and nodded:

"Well done, your information is all over the news. In the eyes of the public, Huangyi has changed from a novice magical girl to a trustworthy guardian~"

Looking at Yu Zhi's hesitant face, Duan Mumo looked behind her and smiled: "And... Xia Yan, this is your first time visiting my office, right? Sit anywhere you want. Bar."

Without any courtesy, Xia Yan walked directly in front of him and said straight to the point: "Who are you? Why do you know my information and what is your purpose!"

She slapped her palms on the table, and the gemstone bracelet wrapped around her wrist released the light of flames, as if she was about to transform at this moment.

As if she had experienced something, Xiri showed great wariness towards Duanmu Mo's exploration.

"Me? Duanmu Mo, from an office, it's that simple."

Duanmumo crossed his legs and said unhurriedly: "As for the identity, it's actually not because of how powerful I am. Human technology is enough to complete it."

"Do you think I will believe you? You and I have only met once, how could you find me just because of this!" Xia Yan's eyes were sharp and she didn't believe his words at all.

——Duanmumo looked at Xia Yan's delicate androgynous face, and there was a kind of maturity that he didn't have at this age, but it still couldn't change the shallowness of experience.

He shook his head with a sigh and said with a smile: "Not once, but twice. Don't forget, I met you once when we were in that restaurant."

"..." Xia Yan suddenly frowned. This was something she didn't expect. She and Duanmu Mo were indeed in the same restaurant at that time, but there was no communication. How could Duanmu Mo know her information based on this.

"——After Yuzhi came back, something was very wrong. He asked me some things about magical girls. I was suspicious at that time, so I wrote down your face. The second time after that was when you faced the explosive food monster. I confirmed your identity."

Duanmumo opened his phone and found something in it. Finally he stopped in front of a photo and showed Xia Yan a mysterious smile.

The photos on the mobile phone were clearly the records of that restaurant. In addition to Xia Yan, the information of Duanmu Mo and Yu Zhi was also recorded in it.

"I found the records in the restaurant. Although there is only a part of the information, it is enough for me to find your address - how about it? This is what adults do. No matter what you do in this world, it will be recorded. As long as you are confirmed Your identity, anyone with a little knowledge of computers can 'find' you out."

Facing the shock that flashed across Xia Yan's face, Duanmumo smiled like a show off.

The general method has been explained, but what really made Duanmumo confirm Xia Yan's identity at the first sight was the card in her body.

Yuri may have tried to take out the card from her body, but once the blank card is integrated into her body, she cannot take it out, let alone perceive its existence. Therefore, before Duanmumo takes the initiative to take out the card, her existence, no matter how secret it is, can be revealed. Duanmumo noticed it easily.

——After Xia Yan was silent for a long time, she finally spoke:

"...You look very powerful."

"I can't compare to you magical girls. My talent is just in the range of ordinary people."

From beginning to end, there was no panic. Duanmu Mo welcomed Xia Yan as he welcomed Yu Zhi:

"Want a sundae?"

......

In Duanmu Mo's office, Yu Zhi and Xia Yan sat aside, each eating a sundae in a cup.

Looking at Xia Yan who was eating a sundae without any courtesy beside her, Yu Zhi was a little restless.

"——I didn't expect that two magical girls would come to my small office. I am really flattered."

Duanmu Mo stood behind the desk, looking for something.

He knew that he had to be careful now. Once he exposed something, he would be directly suspected. This Xia Yan was different from Yu Zhi. She was very vigilant. If she knew his other identity, it would be terrible.

"Well...found it."

Looking at the map in his hand, Duanmu Mo felt the presence of Xia Yan behind him and showed a conspiratorial smile.

——It is true that we need to be careful of Xia Yan, but she has more experience and power than Yu Zhi. Fortune and wealth come from danger. If she collects cards, she can certainly be more efficient than Yu Zhi.

Holding the map, Duanmu Mo sat on the sofa opposite them.

"Then Xia Yan, or Magical Girl Xiri, you don't mind being busy for a while, right?"

Raising the map in his hand, Duanmu Mo smiled.

Looking at the map in his hand, Yu Zhi was stunned: "What is this..."

"What? Just say it."

"Those weirdos, when they are not making trouble, you magical girls basically can't find them, right?"

Duanmu Mo simply explained the purpose of the map: "So, I investigated the hiding places of weirdos in various places..."

Xia Yan fell silent, frowned and looked at Duanmu Mo with a suspicious look: "Are you really just an ordinary person?"

"It's very simple to reason and find their flaws. You will know when you become adults."

Duanmu Mo lied without changing his face.

"..."

Xia Yan didn't speak, but looked at Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi was absent-minded for some reason, with his eyes downcast, thinking about something.

After noticing Xia Yan's gaze, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Ah... Sorry, what were you talking about just now?"

"Is this map real?"

"Eh? Um... Yes, Mr. Duanmu would not lie." After an inexplicable hesitation, Yu Zhi answered honestly.

"Then there is no benefit for him to do this?" Xia Yan looked at Duanmu Mo's eyes and became more suspicious: "I don't think you are so kind."

"I'm just an ordinary person who loves 'love and peace'." Duanmu Mo laughed, his expression was extremely kind: "What's more, it's good for me to have fewer weirdos, right? I don't want to be hit by a fighter while walking on the road."

"...I know." Xia Yan nodded and looked directly at Duanmu Mo: "But I have another condition."

"Tell me, as long as it is within my ability."

"I want you to help me find someone."

When saying this, Xia Yan was silent for a rare moment.

"Of course, do you have any information to provide?"

"......Her name is, Sakurai Reiman"

ps:

I went to have my wisdom teeth removed, so I'm a little late today...it hurts

Volume 1: Chapter 34: Sakurai Reiman

......

A few days later, Huizi and others returned to school smoothly, and naturally received a warm welcome from their classmates.

During the fun, Huizi also came to Yuzhi's seat.

"Yuzhi~"

Yuzhi was reviewing the content of the class just now. When she heard the other party's words, she put down her book and looked at the other party with a smile.

"What's the matter, Huizi?" Looking at the smiling Huizi, Yuzhi asked.

"Can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do~" Huizi is in a very happy mood now: "After being rescued by the magical girls Huangyi and Xiri, I really didn't expect that the first acquaintance I saw was you."

"I just happened to be taking a walk nearby." Yuzhi said the lie he had made up long ago: "After seeing the news, I wondered if I could find you, so I followed the families who were looking for the missing."

"Ah~ I thought that after you left me, you would be so anxious that you couldn't eat, and you would look for me anxiously every day. Who knew you were just taking a walk~" Huizi pretended to be sad and wiped her tears and sniffed.

Judging from her performance, she obviously didn't take her experience to heart, which was too careless.

And looking at her appearance, Yuzhi finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Um... Huizi, can you tell me more about what you told me about Senior Xia Yan?"

"Senior Xia Yan? Oh, you don't know her." Huizi raised her head and nodded, saying, "We didn't even go to this school before she dropped out, so it's not surprising that you don't know her."

"What kind of person is she...?"

"My sister is two years older than me, and she is also from this school. According to her, she is a very handsome person." Huizi smiled, showing an expression of admiration and affection: "When I picked up my sister from school, , I watch senior Xia Yan in the sports field through the school railing every day. She has a pretty and handsome face, and both boys and girls like her."

"Then why would she..."

"Dropped out of school, right? To be honest, I don't know much about this." Huizi thought for a moment and said, "It is said that when she first entered school, she was very cold and repulsive to everyone, but gradually, After having a good friend, I became much gentler and had a smile on my face.”

good friend......

Recalling the words Xia Yan had always kept in her mouth, always warning Yuzhi that magical girls would only bring misfortune, Yuzhi had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Then her friend..."

Speaking of this, Huizi's face also became serious: "Well, one day, senior Xia Yan's good friend disappeared. I heard from my sister that senior Xia Yan was also hospitalized at the same time, and she never came again. It’s time to go to school.”

"...Really, that's a shame."

Hearing these words, Yuzhi felt a little depressed and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, originally I wanted to make friends with her after going to school." Huizi also held up her face, showing a look of regret.

The atmosphere became slightly silent, and Yuzhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what is the name of Senior Xia Yan's friend?"

"I can't remember exactly. When I think about it, it seems... from the Horticulture Department, Man... or something like Ling Man."

"...Sakurai Reiman."

"Ah, yes! That's the name." Huizi clapped her hands and said in surprise: "But how do you know this name? Have you heard of her?"

"Probably..." Yuzhi muttered, a little absent-minded.

...

"Sakurai Reiman...is dead."

In the office, Duanmumo looked at the contents on the computer and frowned.

The time of death was a few years ago, when Xia Yan dropped out of school. Logically speaking, Xia Yan should know about it, but why did she ask him to investigate?

The only possibility is that Xia Yan knows that she is not dead yet and is still alive in the world.

However, no matter how they investigate, they can only confirm the record of Ling Man's death. Not only Ling Man's death, but her family members also died on the same day.

"It's interesting."

Feeling that the background was not simple, Duanmumo wrote down the address of Lingman's house and continued to investigate.

——Unconsciously, there was a knock on the office door, Duanmumo said casually, and Yuzhi walked in.
