Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

After all, there are only about 14,000 magical girls registered with the association worldwide.

However, this development was an inevitable outcome.

The rise of magical girls has severely impacted the livelihoods of traditional idols, not only because of their looks and magical abilities. Compared to those fake idols who sell a pure image, magical girls with the "certification" of the Star Crystal are at least honest and responsible people at heart.

Simply put, it means that their public image won't collapse.

Miss Sirius always has that quirky and lively personality on TV, yet she manages to gain worldwide adoration...

"Okay, registration is complete."

Ye Zi's words brought me back to reality.

"Huh? So fast!"

"Let me check the schedule. Hmm... This weekend is for the preliminary and semi-final rounds. The results will be announced on August 15th, and the recording of the talent show will officially begin on the 16th... Seruno, you have less than two weeks to prepare."

Ye Zi acted somewhat presumptuously, and before I could say anything, he added, "This is my arrangement as your agent."

How could this be...

I lacked confidence in winning the game.

Chapter One: Mother's Crystal

(Albinocotyledon)

I supervised Serino's morning run while riding my bicycle.

"Remove your bubble wrap! No using magic to secretly reduce your burden!"

"Oyster--"

She made a sound as if she couldn't run anymore.

Her physical condition is really bad.

By ordinary standards, she might not be bad, but she is a magical girl, and with the blessing of the Star Crystal, she should be stronger than ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, her physical abilities are only at a third-rate level among magical girls who are full of superhumans. Not to mention me and Metall, who are fighting types, even Warren and Heiter might be stronger than her.

"Oh my god!"

Miluno lay sprawled on the roadside green belt, where countless dogs had defecated, her face flushed and breathing heavily. Her eyes were glazed over as if she were drunk. If she were left there tonight, some strange person would definitely take her in…

Of course, she put a protective film on herself, so theoretically she shouldn't get dirty.

I urged, "Get up quickly, we've only just arrived! Didn't you say you were going to see your mom?"

"I never expected you to make me run all the way to the branch! It's not good for a girl's body to develop muscles! You know that!"

She's a magical girl idol, after all. It's too embarrassing for her to be lying dead on the roadside. I tried to pull her up from the ground.

"Muscles? Your fleshy body is as soft as a 60 or 70-year-old woman. The lack of exercise in your original form will also be reflected in the magical girl's body. Similarly, if you develop a healthy physique in your magical girl form, you might be able to lose your annoying little belly when you turn back."

"Turn back...?"

She pondered my words thoughtfully.

Something feels off.

I asked tentatively, "What, don't you want to turn back?"

Seruno sat up from the ground, looked at me and asked, "Ye Zi, even from a rational point of view, I'm much better off now than before, right?"

Hey, it's all Mom's fault.

She instilled in Seruno the idea that "magical girls can turn back into normal," and this idea, through their experiences over this period, has gradually become her own and has even been taken as truth.

"Whether it's Sun Yao or Seruno, it's all the same. You are you. Besides, isn't Miluno waiting for you?"

Reluctantly, I played my trump card.

Seruno stammered, "I think Miss Miluno...she should be able to accept my choice..."

How could I possibly accept that?!

I confessed to her under the identity of "Miluno" in order to straighten her out, because I was afraid that she would fall in love with me (Bai Ziye) as a magical girl.

This was originally a roundabout way to achieve our goal.

If he ends up as a girl and "Miluno" together, wouldn't he still be gay in the end?

It's just the difference between the camphor tree and the palm tree.

However, I won't comment on her choice.

If she really decides to live her whole life as a woman, as a magical girl, I will respect her choice.

This conclusion was reached as early as Hawaii...

"No, Yezi, I really can't run anymore."

Although she stood up, she clung to the streetlight and refused to leave.

"There's no other way... Get on the bike, I'll ride you the rest of the way."

She stared at me and blinked, a glimmer of light appearing in her tired eyes, and an ambiguous smile appeared on her lips.

"Hehehe, Yezi, you're quite romantic!"

"What?"

She sat sideways on the back of my seat, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Isn't it romantic for couples to ride bicycles together?"

He actually touched my abs and said we were a couple...

Is this idiot deliberately trying to provoke me?

"We're not a couple yet! Besides, you can't run anymore, can you?"

"Okay, okay! You're not a couple, alright? So it's normal to give your best buddy a ride on your bike, right?"

She not only spoke loudly, but also pinched my waist.

Why are you angry?

"I'm not angry, keep pedaling!"

result……

We were stopped by a traffic policeman at the next intersection and fined twenty yuan.

------

Please obey traffic regulations.

Do not carry passengers on your bicycle!

"Oh! Can Mom be released from prison now?"

Yin Wei, from the Changkong branch, who was in charge of receiving us, brought good news.

"Well, the research department doesn't have a clue how to remove the forcibly fused Star Crystal yet. However, given Miss Yuehan's cooperation in the previous operation, Director Spica and the acting chairman of Sirius both agreed to release her. She didn't accept the Star Crystal voluntarily, so it's inappropriate to convict her based on that."

"Miss Spica is brilliant!"

Seruno seemed very happy, raising her hands and cheering in the elevator.

"Don't be too happy yet. Her condition is still unstable, and we don't know what side effects there will be from forcibly fusing the Star Crystal. Ange knows nothing about the technology. Even if Director Spica uses mental coverage, he won't get anything out of her. We can only hope that the Prosecutor's Office can dig out some useful information from those third-party research institutes."

Because of Seruno's father... the former magical girl Vega's plan, Mom and Dad had to go abroad on a business trip. Not only them, but the entire association mobilized to eliminate the hidden dangers left by that person.

Yin Wei, who led the way for us, said, "After you walk through this corridor, Miss Yuehan is in the reception room at the very end. I won't disturb you and your son... the touching scene of mother and daughter reuniting."

And judging from what she said, I should avoid her as well.

"Ye Zi, you don't have to leave..."

As if she could read my mind, Seruno tugged at my sleeve and said first, "...I also want to introduce you to my mother."

What's going on with this strange statement?

Yin Wei, who was always serious, left with a half-smile on his face.

"You're actually just too scared to face Aunt Yuehan alone, right?"

"That might have been the case before, but I'm not afraid anymore."

She shook her head and walked towards the conference room ahead.

"After the battle that day, before my mother was taken away by the association, I had a chance to talk to her alone... I told her everything I hadn't been able to say over the years, including all the changes my father had undergone... She listened silently, then hugged me, patted my head, and said, 'It's okay, none of this is your fault'... I couldn't help but burst into tears at that moment... Yezi, do you know? All I've ever hoped for is to be treated gently by my mother just once... Whether it was resentment or self-blame, all the feelings that had been troubling me dissipated at that moment."

The awakening of Aunt Yuehan brought her salvation, freeing her from the nightmare that had haunted her for many years.

Although I hate to admit it, Seruno's father did have a positive effect.

But these things are not worth trading for the safety of the entire world, nor can they change the fact that he has gone down the wrong path.

"I only have one goal left now: to bring my father back alive from the other side."

Seruno said, pushing open the door to the reception room.

"mom……"

"Huh? Who do you call Mom?"

However, it was Yang Yan who stood there.

Chapter Two: Returning Home

(Sun Yao)

"Ha, who do you call Mom?"

Ms. Yin Wei mentioned that her mother was not in the reception room, only Falcon was present…

Oh no, it's Gila and Kagerou who turned back into their original forms.

"Uh, no... I heard from Miss Yin Wei that my mother is here..."
