Tokyo, there are too many defeated magical girls.

Mizuki Mieko scratched her bewildered cheek and stammered as she explained:

“That’s strange… I saw the Doctor go this way, about ten minutes later, there was both golden light and purple smoke.”

"Golden light..."

Magic Rose felt a headache coming on and instinctively covered her forehead.

That's the signature color of the chrysanthemum.

Now, even the last glimmer of hope has vanished.

—Lin Chun has definitely been taken back and interrogated.

She felt dizzy and almost fainted, but suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Wait a minute, Mieko...were you there too?"

"Uh-huh."

"Were you affected?!"

When she asked this question, Magic Rose's heart was in her throat.

She even took a step back to distance herself from her mother.

—Absolutely terrifying!

People who inhale too much purple smoke become beasts in the alleyways.

Even if it's just a few, they can't wait to go to the nearest hotel with the opposite sex they like.

Even though she, a magical girl, had only inhaled a tiny bit, she was still experiencing abnormal palpitations.

It's fair to say that this magical smoke was quite terrifying.

My shameful mother was addicted to drugs from the very beginning.

At this very moment, who knows what might be happening inside the pansy-patterned yukata that symbolizes this place?

"No."

Mizuki Mieko simply tilted her head.

He spread his hands to indicate that everything was normal; his cheeks were not abnormally flushed, and his skin was not abnormally sweaty.

"why?"

"Hmm...why? Let me think..."

Faced with Magic Rose's persistent questioning, Mizuki Mieko raised her right hand and twirled the end of her hair with her index finger.

After racking my brains, I finally came up with a slightly possible conclusion.

"Could it be this? Lin Chun gave it to me."

As Mieko spoke, she opened her mouth wide and made a cute "ah-woo" sound towards the magical girl in front of her.

Rose was taken aback for a moment.

This was actually the second time she had examined the other person's mouth.

The last time was when I was feeding porridge in the hospital ward.

My mother's mouth was pale, her tongue had no strength at all, and she had very little saliva.

Even when the rice porridge was so thin it couldn't be thinner, they would force it down as if it weren't food but razor blades.

But now, it presents a healthy rosy color overall, and looks very moist.

Especially that red tongue, which gives people the illusion of a pink strawberry candy, couldn't be healthier.

The key is that there is a transparent pink candy on the surface of the tongue.

Under the constant onslaught of saliva, it has melted to the size of a little fingernail.

"This was given to me by the doctor before he left... Waaah?"

Mizuki Mieko's explanation came to an abrupt halt.

Because the Magic Rose was quite unceremonious, she directly inserted two fingers inside.

Take out the last tiny bit of pink candy from a sticky, hot mouth.

After a quick look, I took it to test myself.

She had inhaled some of the purple venom while floating in the air...

Now, it has vanished without a trace.

"It really is an antidote..."

"Miss Rose!!!"

Mizuki Mieko's shout, filled with both embarrassment and anger, interrupted her thoughts.

At this moment, what came into view was a girl's face that was completely flushed.

Overwhelmed with shame, even the beautiful skin beneath the pansy yukata trembled.

The unruly hot sweat was flowing everywhere.

"Miss Rose, how could you... this is so unhygienic!"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Savoring the sweet taste of cherry blossoms in her mouth, Magic Rose showed no disgust whatsoever.

She raised her hand to shut Mieko up.

She bit her lower lip, lost in thought.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, it is highly likely that Lin Chun also has an antidote and should not turn into a beast of desire.

But the magic chrysanthemum is another story.

What exactly did she do with Lin Chun?

This question baffled Rose.

Unbeknownst to them, more and more search and rescue teams arrived from all directions, and the sounds of sirens and horns filled the air.

Clearly, we can't stay here any longer.

Rose had no choice but to pause her thinking and run away with her own mother.

"Miss Mieko, please hold on tighter to my neck, and I'll take you flying away."

"wrong……"

"What's wrong? Everything is going according to the doctor's plan, you don't need to worry."

Rose urged him somewhat anxiously.

To put the other party at ease, they even fabricated a perfectly reasonable excuse.

Little did they know, the problem lay with themselves.

"Miss Rose, how did you know—that I am Mieko?"

"what?"

"That's strange. I came here in place of my own daughter. Even the Doctor thinks I'm Rinko. How could you—"

"..."

Magic Rose didn't dare look directly into Mieko's eyes.

I could already clearly feel the suspicious gazes fixed on me, a torment that felt like I was being pricked by needles.

—If my identity is discovered, I can just jump into the river now.

With a heavy heart, she could only shift the blame onto the missing Lin Chun.

"Actually, the doctor knew your identity from the beginning, so I knew it too."

"how come……"

Mizuki Mieko shuddered and could barely stand.

Her daughter quickly reached out to help her up.

As a result, what I saw was a face flushed with girlish blush, a silly grin like that of a lovestruck fool.

His only blood relative in the world placed his index finger on his lips, as if savoring some kind of wonderful execution.

"The doctor knows I'm Mieko, and he's still willing to kiss me. He really does like me!"

"what?"

The magic rose was instantly stunned.

I never imagined that I would make my mother even more insane.

If it weren't for the bond of blood, I would have really wanted to just leave her here.
