Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Page 26

As long as most people think this way, it won't cause any social problems, so the idea that "magical girls will turn into witches" must be completely buried.

I know this for sure, but I don't often think about it.

After all, I also hope that magical girls are more ideal idols, just like Ms. Yin Wei said before, "fighters who fight for all mankind".

So, you haven't seen Miss Yin Wei since the battle started?

Lu'er was also the one coordinating the aftermath. Where did she go?

"It's almost time, I need to head back to headquarters."

Spica glanced at her watch and quickened her pace to leave the testing area. After all, she was the director of the Tactical Division, and her schedule was definitely very tight. Her complexion also looked unhealthy due to overwork.

Metal said, "Okay! I'm going back to the shop then!"

She seems to be a small business owner in the C4 area. Currently, she's a magical girl, and running the shop has become a hobby. Anyway, there won't be any customers in the shop when evacuation is needed.

"Then I'll go check on Miss Yangyan first..."

On the tablet screen, Yang Yan, still lying paralyzed in the hospital bed and unable to move, said, "I don't need you to visit me! Fatty, weren't you shopping with your boyfriend today?"

Boy friend?

Does it refer to the leaves?

"I already said that's not my boyfriend! How could I possibly have one..."

I realized the problem halfway through my denial and stopped in front of the elevator.

"...Wait! How did you know what I did today?!"

A patient with fractures all over his body, how could he possibly push me around in a wheelchair?

"Hey, you don't actually believe in such coincidental encounters, do you?"

I quickly understood what she meant.

"You had Miss Yin Wei follow me?!"

"Don't put it so harshly. To be precise, it's assistance. I asked her to lend a hand when you need help. Since your boyfriend doesn't want to go into the lingerie store with you, Sister Wei has taken over the guidance work... It's quite a lot, 30e."

Looking back now, it seems really strange that Ms. Yin Wei went shopping alone.

"I already told you Yezi isn't my boyfriend... So, you were spying on me?"

"Of course, I watched Sister Wei's filming the whole time."

"...They were filming even in the locker room?"

"Of course, but don't worry, I won't show it to anyone else."

"That's so unfair! Magical girls really do need privacy!"

My face flushed red in front of the elevator. Being spied on without my knowledge was incredibly shameful.

"That might be the case for others, but Xiaowei and I both know your identity; it's no longer a secret. It's normal for us to follow you, right?"

"This is not normal! How could you do such a thing!"

Ultimately, just how perverse is Ms. Kagerou, who commands her liaisons even while lying in bed?

"I'm so bored lying here."

"No! I need to have a serious talk with you!"

I carried my tablet into the elevator.

After leaving the magical girl treatment center, I didn't go straight home.

Instead, they went to the shopping mall in the C4 area to retrieve Serino's "spoils of war." The rich girl had bought a lot of clothes, and they were too heavy to carry after she deactivated her transformation, so they went to retrieve them after removing their battle armor and putting on masks.

The shopping mall has reopened, and the emergency evacuation at noon didn't have much of an impact on people; they've gotten quite used to it... Humans are very adaptable; those weirdos have only been around for twelve years.

“34…35…36…Got it, number 38.”

In recent years, shopping mall lockers have also undergone industrial upgrading. They are no longer just metal boxes for customers to temporarily store their belongings, but sturdy safes that can ensure the contents remain intact even if the building collapses.

"Miss, please wait a moment."

I reached my finger toward the holographic screen of the locker, but a woman next to me grabbed my wrist. I stared at her for a moment, then remembered who she was.

She was the woman who was with Seruno at noon, and who looked very much like Lulu. She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

Have they discovered my identity?

That's terrible. It's true that having too much contact with the association can be dangerous.

"what's up?"

I tried to control my panic and make my tone as natural as possible.

"Are you Miss Miluno?"

"Investigating a magical girl's identity is illegal."

"It really is Miss Miluno... I wasn't investigating your identity, I just wanted to know, why are the clothes Miss Seruno bought in your possession?"

"What do you mean? These are all clothes I bought."

"There's a receipt in the clothing bag with the payer's bank card number on it. If it doesn't match, can I assume that you stole Serino's clothes?"

Tsk, I'd completely forgotten about receipts.

"Your association is really unlikable... So what? What exactly do you want to do?"

At this point, there's no point in pretending to be ignorant; the person in front of us clearly knows everything.

“I will not force you to register with the association, nor will I report your identity. Waiting for you here is just my personal action, Miss Miluno. I promise I will not tell anyone your identity, not even the association.”

This is a meticulous person, and it's precisely these kinds of people who cause trouble.

"Just tell me, what are your demands?"

I was the one who got caught, but instead, she gave a helpless, bitter smile.

“Without any conditions, Miss Miluno, I did not wait here for more than six hours to threaten you. I will keep your secret no matter what… I only have one request: may I serve as your personal liaison?”

Are you just my liaison?

"Yes."

She looked at me with great sincerity.

"To show my sincerity, I will prepare a special 'gift' for you."

Back home...

Uh, it was almost eight o'clock when I got back to Ye Zi's house.

The door of my own apartment was splashed with shocking red paint, and even the wall next to it was splattered with insulting words. The hallway was filled with a pungent smell of formaldehyde.

Thinking back to the battle that afternoon, and the fact that Miluno lost consciousness because of me, my mood became even heavier.

Ding-dong-

Ding, ding-dong—

di, di, di, decade——

Hmm? The doorbell sound is a bit strange when you press it quickly?

But no one is home. Did they go out to eat?

Just as I was thinking this, Ye Zi, carrying two bags of clothes, walked out of the elevator. He looked very tired, and each step he took was particularly heavy.

I've bought quite a few clothes, but is it really that much?

He looked up and greeted me, "Hey! Have you been back for a long time? I'll go in and give you the spare key."

"No, I just arrived too... Did you spend the whole afternoon outside?"

"I went to get you some clothes, didn't I? They were so heavy!"

Ye Zi put the bags of clothes on the ground, then took out her keys from her pocket to open the door, saying as she did so, "When I took refuge, I put all your clothes in the locker. I forgot about them after the alert was lifted, and only remembered them this afternoon, so I rushed to get them and grabbed a bite to eat while I was at it..."

This carelessness is a bit unlike Ye Zi's style.

He pushed open the door and asked again, "Oh, have you eaten?"

"...Not yet, I just got back from the treatment facility."

"Huh? A medical facility? You're injured?"

Ye Zi circled around me with concern, and I quickly explained, "No, I'm fine... it's just that Miss Miluno is worried about me..."

Just saying that name brings back a wave of guilt.

But Ye Zi asked, "Because you sacrificed yourself?"

"Huh? Xi, you're not allowed to talk nonsense!"

I retorted excitedly, "Ye Zi's conjecture is going too far!"

"That serious injury?"

"No, not really... it's just..."

"He only got a minor cut and was then knocked unconscious?"
