The awkward atmosphere unfolded between these two abnormal beings. (One is a masked horseman and the other is a magical girl.) The only memory of Sanwu) Yu, who is both facial paralysis, is the slightly fluttering skirt corners and the white scenery under the skirt. And then the next moment, what appeared in his retina was a big sole.

At that moment, I suddenly had a strange idea that even if I died, I would have no regrets. But that's definitely not intentional. After all, a lot of the time, people don't have time to control their instinctive reactions, do they?

As for the fact that the people were slapped in the face, the soles of their shoes did not get angry......

Well, Yu also admits that he is still more or less weak-hearted.

Touching the shoe prints on the helmet, Yu, who knew that he was at a loss, didn't say anything.

Forget it, even if you're more unlucky today. Anyway, the benefits have already been obtained, so there is no need to ask for hardship.

"Yes."

After looking at Yu quietly for a while, the black-haired girl said lightly.

"If that's what you say, then that's it." Huh? That's the end of it?

Yu looked at the girl in surprise.

Looking at the other party's expression, it really doesn't look like he wants to pursue anything more.

I thought that I would have to explain to solve this embarrassing situation, but I didn't expect the other party to suddenly give up like this. This kind of sudden turn of the situation makes the emotional intelligence of the poor and a little flustered.

Although she didn't know what the other party was thinking, since she didn't want to continue to pursue it, Yu was happy to do so.

However, one moment he glared as if he was going to kill himself, and the next he stopped pursuing it as if it was nothing.

This girl is too individual.

I couldn't figure out what was going on in her head.

"So, the second question."

Just as Yu secretly looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, the black-haired girl spoke again.

"Who the hell are you? Why is it here? ”

As if examining something, the black-haired girl stared at Yu tightly while asking.

"......, this question should have been asked to you in reverse."

Yu frowned.

"What's the explanation?"

"You're a magical girl who just came to the city."

The maiden neither admitted nor denied it. Yu, who didn't think of any answers, continued to talk to himself.

"Didn't you know what was going on here? In any case, I am the landlord of the city, and there are no foreign guests who question the master in turn. ”

"...... landlord?"

"Yes, in other words, this city is my hunting ground. It's you, casually intruding into this place to hunt for a witch, which is a violation of convention. ”

"The magical girl of this city, isn't it Ba Asami?"

As if encountering some incomprehensible problem, after hearing Yu's words, the girl's originally fixed face showed a rare trace of confusion and confusion.

"I didn't think you knew anything about it. However, I don't know everything, this city is actually run by me and Ba Aami. So, if you're just passing through for a while, it's better to leave as soon as possible. The city is big, but it can't accommodate three competitors at the same time. ”

Hearing Yu say this, the black-haired girl was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Could it be that I've been getting along with Madoka a lot lately, when did I become so talkative, Yu was thinking about self-slander while talking.

"If you need that item called the 'Seed of Sorrow' urgently, I can give you a chance. However, I don't want you to be in this city again with or without the Seeds of Sorrow. ”

With that, Yu gently shook his hand and threw the "Seal Card" into the sky.

"The Heavens are unlocked."

With a dazzling flash of light, the "Seal Card" disappeared, and the "Mask Witch" who had just been defeated by Yu to make the "Seal Card" appeared in place.

The black-haired girl was stunned by the sight before her, and then turned her head to Yu's body, no longer glancing at the "Mask Witch" who was gradually regaining her mobility.

"It's your prey, not mine."

Apparently didn't want to accept Yu's kindness.

"Well, if you don't take what doesn't belong to you, you won't take it. This clear style of doing things is what I like the most. ”

Yu didn't say anything more, and casually sealed the "Mask Witch" who was about to escape again.

"So, although we are destined to meet, I still hope that we will not meet in the future."

With a wave of his hand, Yu turned around to leave.

"I can't agree to this for the time being."

Hearing this, Yu stopped.

"I guess I've made it clear. Even so, are you going to stay here? If that happens, something may happen that is unpleasant for both parties. ”

Yu can not care about many things, but once it comes to the fundamental interests of the issue, he can't help but not get serious.

As he said, the big city is a big hunting ground, but it's not enough to accommodate three competing hunters.

The current magical girl Basumi is a person with a good personality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a very kind person in some ways. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If the magical girl who arrived at some point decided to stay, she might not have raised any objections at all, and she might even become a companion with the magical girl according to her usual personality.

Neither of these two situations is something that Usojo is happy to see.

Although he doesn't have a sense of belonging to this city, Yu at this time has a reason to stay here.

"Madoka, it turns out that you have become my fetters before I know it."

Yu was surprised to find that Madoka's figure had occupied such an important place in his heart. That's right, the biggest reason why Yu didn't leave at this moment was to protect the girl who brought him warmth and didn't let her be attacked by the "witch".

So, Yu has to show enough rejection here.

If no one is blackfaced, it's up to you.

Anyway, he's used to being alienated or hated or something like that. It doesn't matter if there is one more person.

"I do this, of course, for my reasons. But you, who are you? Why is it in this city, why do you know about the 'witch', and why are you hunting the 'witch'? What's your peculiar look? And why do you have that weird card that knocks down the 'witch' and turns it into? Can these questions answer me, if so? ”

"......, although there are some surprises, I still want to ask. Have you never heard of me? ”

Yu asked.

"Would I still ask these questions if I knew?"

"Really, I think I'm famous, but it's just my self-righteousness?"

Hearing her answer, Yu shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, something came to mind, and the black-haired girl looked up and down at Yu with a strange gaze.

“？” Yu was numb by her gaze.

"Could it be that even boys can become 'magical girls' now?"

"How could that be possible!"

Yu instantly reflexively retorted.

No way, who let the mention of "a boy who becomes a magical girl", the first thing that pops up in Yu's mind is a certain cross-dresser who always holds a chainsaw. Although he lost all memories of the past, this was the only one that instantly appeared in his mind as soon as he was mentioned, reminding him how dangerous the existence of "Magic Brother" was, and he should never approach this thing.

If you become like that......

Yu's body had goosebumps for a while, and Sanwu's face couldn't be maintained.

"So, who are you?"

To this question, Yu did not answer.

For the answers to the questions the girl asked, he had no way of knowing. If he could get answers, he wanted to know the answers, but Yu didn't know anyone who could answer them.

Why do you have to be questioned here by a magical girl who has just met?

Inexplicably, Yu felt irritable for a while.

"That kind of thing, it's none of your business."

Suddenly losing interest in continuing the conversation, Yu turned around and walked away, coming to the empty high-speed stand outside the building.

"If you insist on calling me, just call me Jin Shanshan, the next time we meet, our relationship may be rivals, I hope you will be good at yourself."

Leaving these words, Yu jumped down without hesitation, and his figure melted into the endless darkness.

"In the end...... Why ......"

"Glittering... What is there ......?"

In the night breeze, the girl's confused voice was faintly heard.

Takiwara Middle School, the entrance of a class in the second grade group.

It's morning, and it's still a long time before class.

Because of the abundance of time, the students who came to school as usual walked unhurriedly on the corridor. However, when the students of this class came to the door of their class, they all showed surprised expressions.

For no other reason, because in front of the door of their class, there was a man standing at the moment.

It wouldn't be surprising if just one of the same grade students suddenly appeared at the door of their class. The reason why they are like this is because the people standing here at this moment are so unexpected.

Looking at the figure with his hands in his pockets, quietly leaning against the glass wall, squinting as if he was napping. The students who came to the door of the class suddenly became cautious while showing surprised expressions, and deliberately relaxed their steps and quietly slipped into the classroom.

The students who entered the class also peeked out the door through the transparent glass wall from time to time, whispering.

"Hey, hey! How did that guy end up here? ”

"Anyway, this guy has been abnormal for a while, and he is very close to the health commissioner Kame."

"Deerme? Could it be that girl with a very round and cute face? ”

"Wouldn't it? He's not good.,How could such a simple girl as Kame-san-chan walk with him.,Was it coerced? ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, it's bad to be heard, do you want to him off!? ”

"Could it be that some unlucky guy accidentally provoked him, so he came to the door?"

"What should I do, do you want to find someone to help?"

"Go tell the teacher."

"He'll notice it as soon as he goes out, wouldn't it be bad if he knew who was going to tell him."

"Definitely going to be killed! Or in the same way that all the bones of the body are shattered. ”

"Hmm, hmm, it's scary......"

"Let's stay in the classroom honestly and see ......how it goes."

“…… Makoto, I'm so scared. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the world, as a boyfriend, I'll protect you even if I give my life."

"But...... Makoto looks like you're shaking......"

Whispers like this continue to reach Yu's ears.

"Cut, it's not a good thing to hear too well."

In a voice that no one could hear, Yu muttered to himself.

In a way, Yu can be regarded as a very famous person in Takihara Middle School. Of course, as you can see from the reactions of these students, it is definitely not a good reputation.

It all stemmed from a misunderstanding.

"Witches" prey on human souls by turning into disembodied malice or despair, leading to unexplained suicides or homicides. And this kind of hunting, in fact, also requires the selection of specific targets. Only those whose hearts are occupied by negative emotions will be selected by the "witch" as their prey. The "witches" also often hunt in different ways, sometimes only carefully selecting a target, and sometimes greedily collecting a group of chosen people, triggering so-called collective events.

More than half a year ago, two groups of violent young people who clashed for some reason and were carried away by their blood unfortunately became the target of a greedy "witch" who happened to pass by. What was a simple skirmish turned into a tragic fight. The secluded abandoned warehouse in the suburbs almost became a feast table for the "witch".

The specific cause of the incident has long been unknown, anyway, by the time the "witch" arrived at the scene with zero awareness, the scene had already become out of control. By the time Yu has eliminated the "witch", how to deal with the rampant people who are seriously injured and lying on the ground is the most troublesome thing. The location of the incident is a remote suburb, and as a last resort, Yu had to use his mobile phone to notify the police and the hospital, and then quietly left. Of course, it's not that Yu has some boring sympathy for this group of bad people, naïve and kind to want to just these bastards. On the contrary, when Yu just woke up three years ago, he was "cared for" by the bad guys who were "very friendly" and "kind", and if they were all eaten as snacks by the "witch", Yu would not have any remorse or guilt. Originally, Yu really planned to leave it alone, but considering that it was troublesome to find the "witch" every time, it would be more convenient to use them as bait to lure the "witch", so in order to give full play to their surplus value, Yu took action later.

Although fortunately no one died afterwards, the major incident of dozens of people fighting and more than a dozen people seriously injuring people naturally made the city's police attach great importance to it. What's even more bizarre is that because of the influence of the power of the "witch", the mobs involved in this incident have a vague memory of the time, and this abnormal situation made the police focus on the report call.

It is not difficult to check the identity of the whistleblower based on a phone call, especially if the other party does not deliberately conceal it.

Therefore, at noon one day, Zero, who was still in school class, was invited out of class by two policemen on the pretext of "assisting in the investigation" and left the school in a police car.

The final result of the matter is naturally not over. Although it was a coincidence that it was too much to suspect everything, the police had nothing to do about Yu, who insisted that he was "just passing by by by accident", and finally had to characterize the incident as an ordinary collective fight. Yu, who ended the "assistance in the investigation", continued his campus life the next day.

However, when Yu returned to campus, he found that everything had changed subtly. (To be continued.) )
