Leaping between the rooftops of two adjacent buildings is perhaps understandable. The act of leaping over a distance of more than ten meters, from the roof below to the roof of another building with a height difference of at least a few meters in the distance, is something that no human body can do even if it goes beyond its limits. The magic fluctuations that erupted from time to time were obviously used for this.

The only thing Yu can hope for now is that at this time, no one will be bored to look up at the sky or look out the window.

Even if you have a personality, there must be a limit.

Although I really can't figure out why there is such a strange situation where it is obvious that it is a "magical girl" chasing and killing the "magic messenger". But the most important thing now is to stop them first.

Yu doesn't want to see any newspaper headlines like "Flying people appear in the sky over the city" in tomorrow's newspapers.

"I don't know what's going on, but you two, let's stop for a moment."

A golden glow appeared without warning on the ground between the two men chasing above the roof.

Suddenly blocked from the way, the figure of the black-haired girl stopped suddenly. Through Woo looked at the white figure that had disappeared into the far corner in a few jumps in a row, and she turned her gaze somewhere with obvious dissatisfaction.

"I've heard that you're not all the way to the magical girl."

"I don't know where you heard about it, but it's true." Shrugging, Yu said.

"And what does that mean?"

"I don't have any interest in your 'internal' affairs, but your current behavior has really caused me a lot of trouble, so I have to stop you."

Yu said, gesturing to the top of his head.

"It's still daytime, it's still downtown, do you want the people of this city to know that there are people with magical powers among them? If it really arouses those guys' desire to explore, it will cause a lot of trouble for my side. ”

"I see."

After looking at Yu faintly for a while, the black-haired girl turned around and planned to leave.

"Hey, hey, this is leaving?"

"Something?"

"I once said, anyway, I'm the landlord of Takiwara City, and a guest with unknown intentions suddenly came to my city, so of course I care about what that guest wants to do."

"Really...... Do you want to see the owner of Takiwara City? ”

The black-haired girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Yu.

"Judging by the way you look, I guess I don't want to have a few more 'magical girls' in my city. At this point, our purpose is the same. ”

“…… Ha? ”

Yu Gang wanted to ask, but the black-haired girl had already turned around and jumped off the roof.

"What the hell does that mean?"

Looking at the figures that disappeared into the distance one after another, Yu muttered suspiciously. If it weren't for the unsuitable environment now, he really wanted to chase after him and ask about it.

"Hey, don't hide there anymore, get out of here. You should know a few things about that 'magical girl'. ”

The magical creature that wasn't supposed to exist on Earth, a white creature the size of a cat, slowly stepped out of the corner and gently jumped onto the guardrail beside Zero.

"Ah, it's thanks to you that I'm saved."

The little guy who called himself Kewpie squatted down above the guardrail, gently waging his big fluffy tail.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't come out to save you."

"I don't know why you did it, but it's true that I was saved because of it. Wouldn't it be rude not to express my gratitude? ”

"It's better to be free. Is there anything more meaningless than the fact that you don't feel the word "gratitude" at all, but you keep saying words of gratitude? ”

Human beings are inherently sensual creatures, with joy, sadness, anger, fear, ...... They experience these complex emotions all the time. Although Yu's perceptual ability focuses on sensing strong negative emotions and various magical powers, for this kind of emotion that everyone has all the time, he will still be more or less aware of something at a very close distance.

Not only human beings, but also those beings with spirituality also have all kinds of emotional things, but they are very weak compared to human beings.

Only this little thing that was right now in front of his eyes was an exception.

Obviously speaking the language of human beings, it seems to be a creature with extremely high intelligence, but Yu can't see any emotional color on its body.

If the emotionally rich human being is compared to a colorful picture, then the Kewpie in Yu's eyes is clear water that has not been contaminated with any color. For such a Kewpie, the emotion of "gratitude" is naturally incomprehensible, so Yu will scoff at its gratitude.

"It's true that I don't understand emotions or anything like that, but when you look into it, it's no different from what you humans do. Even though there is no point in doing so, you humans have been doing this all along, even though they have different ideas in mind, and you humans have always done it. As for me, I'm just doing it in the way you're used to in order to be able to communicate with you better. ”

Tilting his head slightly, Kewpie said.

"Although I am a little unwilling, I really can't refute it. Well, that's all for that. You must already know something about that black-haired 'magical girl'. If you really want to reciprocate, come up with some useful information. ”

"Is this some kind of deal?"

"You can understand that at least these are more valuable than those empty and useless thanks."

"That's not something to hide, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. I don't know much about this though, so I hope you won't be too disappointed. ”

There was a slight silence for a while, weighing something, and finally Kewpie spoke.

"That's all I know about that girl

It's that she's indeed a 'magical girl', her name is Xiao Meiyan, and as for other things, it's not very clear. ”

"Huh? That's what it is. If this were an investigation, even the most lame detective would be embarrassed to ask his client for a reward with such a report. ”

The answer was too unexpected, so Yu couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know, I don't know, even if you say that, I can't help it."

"I remember Asami said that in this country, you can only become a 'magical girl' if you sign a contract. Could it be that the exception is that 'magical girl' who signed a contract with other magic messengers and came to this place again? Yu asked helplessly.

"Did Asami tell you about this before? But what she said wasn't very accurate. It should be said that as long as it is a 'magical girl' among humans, even if it is not a contract with me who is here at the moment, it can be regarded as a contract with me who is here at the moment. So in general, there shouldn't be any 'magical girl' that I don't know. It's just that Xiao Meiyan has something special......"

Kewpie was silent for a moment before continuing.

"She can be said to have signed a contract with me to become a 'magical girl', but it can also be said that this is not the case."

“…… Are you playing with words? ”

"There's no way, because it's hard to express it accurately in your human language. That's why language is not the best medium for information exchange. ”

I don't know why this sentence in the back suddenly gave Yu a very strong sense of immediacy.

I always feel that someone in my dream has also said such things to me. Although I can't remember who the other party is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the inexplicable disgust that arises in my heart.

Does this guy who seems to be hated by himself have anything to do with his forgotten past?

Although he had such doubts in his heart, the impression was too vague, as if he was hidden in a heavy fog, so that Yu could not grasp any useful clues.

Anyway, if you can't think of it, you can't think of anything useful. Yu, who has long been accustomed to this kind of situation that pops up from time to time, decisively chose to give up.

"I don't really understand it, but it's finally clear that you're unusually useless."

"What a faux pas."

"So, tell me why you're being hunted down. In any case, as a 'magic messenger', you and 'magic girl' should be companions, and there should be a reason why there is such a strange situation as a 'magic girl' chasing down a 'magic messenger'. ”

"I can't find a reasonable explanation for this right now."

“…… It's surprisingly useless, you guy. Didn't you do something weird? For example, stealing a girl's underwear or something. ”

Yu said, waving his finger slightly.

Threads of golden energy spun out from his hands, slowly forming a pattern of a strange creature running around with a string of underwear in its mouth.

"Please don't put strange assumptions on other people."

"Did you do something after all, or did that Xiao Meiyan chase you as soon as she sees you?"

Scattering the energy in his hand, Yu asked.

"Not really. When I tracked her down to the hospital and observed her from a distance, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. If she suddenly showed hostility, it should have been when I stumbled upon two well-qualified girls and followed them to the hospital and wanted to make contact. So it's not like there's no conjecture about this happening......"

The corners of Yu's mouth twitched.

"Wait a minute."

"Huh?"

"I always feel like I've heard something that people can't ignore."

Yu reached out and grabbed both of Cuppy's long ears and carried it in front of him.

"Huh? Why did I suddenly show hostility directly, I guess I didn't do anything wrong. ”

Although he was caught by the ear, Kewpie only struggled slightly twice, and then calmly asked Zero, not showing any discomfort at all.

"Don't play dumb, or is it better for me to pull out your two decorative ears? I think you know very well, I don't want to have a few more 'magical girls' in the city. But from what you just said, I seem to hear some bad signs. ”

"So you're talking about it."

"It's not like it's an understatement!"

"I don't understand your thoughts, after all, no one wants to have a few more competitors. But it's my job to get qualified girls and sign a contract with them. Even if you don't like it, that's what I have to do. ”

"This world is so big, there should be a lot of qualified girls, and it doesn't matter if there are one or two fewer 'magical girls'. Besides, there are already two Guardians in this city, so there is no need to increase the number of 'magical girls'. Or do you think it's better to go through the hard work of signing two 'magical girls' and then let me go and kill them? ”

"Would you do that?"

Faced with Yu's question, Kewpie just asked.

"Cut."

In the face of Kewpie's questioning, Zero casually waved his hand outward, and then a certain white one drew a graceful arc in mid-air and fell all the way downstairs.

[It's too much, I threw people down like this. 】

But soon, Kewpie's childish voice sounded in Zero's head.

[What's the matter, you can't die anyway.] 】

"But your casual behavior will still cause me trouble."

The white shadow swayed, and Kewpie emerged from another corner, and then a few jumps stood on the guardrail far away from Yu, waving his furry tail and saying.

"If you don't want to be killed the next time we meet, don't try to do things that make me unhappy."

"It's really embarrassing, because that's my job. Eventually, we have a good relationship with each other, but now it seems that I am going to try to avoid contact with you for a while. ”

With two tail swings, Kewpie jumped slightly, and the fast-running figure quickly disappeared into the roof.

"Two girls who might become 'magical girls'? Why does it always feel like it has something to do with Madoka, this ominous premonition hopes to be a good delusion. ”

"Xiaomei...... Yan Mo ......"

On the empty roof, only Yu's voice echoed to himself.

(PS: Why...... Will you feel Kewpie cute? (To be continued.) )
