Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Standing on a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the whole world is plunged into a deep tranquility.

then……

A familiar yet eerie blue halo appeared in the night sky without warning.

Wow, they actually came.

Chapter Fifteen: Best Performance

(Albinocotyledon)

A wormhole, visible to the naked eye, appeared on the sea surface at night.

Unlike cities, Naboo Island does not have phase detection airships, so there are no wormhole alarms here.

Ultimately, eccentric people generally don't appear on such remote islands.

Although I hate to admit it, Spica's prediction is probably correct; Seruno does indeed have the ability to attract monsters.

wrong……

This statement is not entirely accurate.

To be precise, Serino became a thorn in the side of "the other side"... but why?

"I don't know how many more minutes until the wormhole opens. Leaf, you should go take refuge first."

Once in battle mode, Seruno's nonchalant expression vanished, replaced by a serious one.

She changed into a pink and white dress and battle attire, clutching a ruby ​​magic wand tightly in her hand.

"Okay, then you should be careful too."

I'm not being coy; going to "seek refuge" is the right option right now.

"Since Miss Miluno is still enjoying her holiday on Oahu, then I'll have to take care of things here!"

Although that's how it's supposed to be, I didn't actually enjoy it at all.

I advised him, "Actually, you don't need to work too hard. Just treat it as real combat training."

This is Sirius's territory, the territory of the first magical girl. What kind of monsters would come here and be rendered useless?

Despite thinking that way, I still planned to seek refuge in the direction of the Western-style mansion.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Sirius raising its huge wings of light and flying from the direction of the mansion... After materializing light, can wings that can fly still be created?

As expected of an ace who has fought continuously for twelve years, his application of magic has reached a level of consummate skill.

"Serno-chan, you should go to safety with your boyfriend too!"

Sirius flew through the air and called out to us.

"Huh? But I can fight too..."

"Naboo Island is my personal property! It's been invaded! It's only right that I handle this!"

Her wings of light were dazzling in the night, and combined with Sirius's already striking blonde hair, she was only one halo away from being an angel.

Looking back now, my magic seems to have no special effects from an ordinary person's perspective... it's just simple speed, and they can't even see it clearly.

Perhaps this is why I don't have many fans?

Although there was no phase detection airship, several hexacopter drones still flew in to take pictures and analyze the data. These large machines, operated by an unknown person, also delivered ear-type walkie-talkies to Seruno.

However, it's not surprising. There's no reason why the battles of the first magical girl wouldn't be broadcast live. Considering Sirius's immense popularity, it's clear that the association wouldn't miss this opportunity to make money.

"Ye Zi, come with me."

Seruno dragged me to sit on the pier, then covered me and herself with her bubble. The bubble wasn't big, so we were very close, our arms touching each other from time to time.

Seruno wasn't concerned about the immediate situation; she focused all her attention on the upcoming battle.

But I do care.

Although I wasn't completely sweating, our skin was still sticky against each other, and feeling each other's temperature made me feel strange.

She asked, "Miss Sirius, may we watch the game from here?"

"No problem, but we might get caught in the crossfire, you know?"

"I will protect Leaf! Please allow me to observe and learn your fighting style up close!"

He actually said he would protect me...

If we really get into danger, I'll protect you even if it means exposing my identity, you idiot.

"The magic of magical girls is all different, so I don't think it's very useful for reference. If you really want to see, just stay there~"

The idol in the air, hands on hips, made a powerful declaration.

"Anyway, I will never let that weirdo set foot on this beach!"

hum-

"It's coming!"

The wormhole is fully open.

At this point, approximately five minutes had passed since the wormhole appeared.

This time, what was delivered was a creature of standard build. It fell at high speed from above the wormhole and then crashed into the sea with a whooshing sound, creating a wave several meters high... 0 points for falling into the water!

The night was too dark for me to see the enemy's true form, but Sirius's laser beam had already pierced the sea surface. Since the waters near Naboo Island were relatively shallow, the monster was quickly forced to rush out of the water.

By the light of the stars and moon, I was able to see the enemy's appearance clearly...

It was an octopus monster.

Its head is a giant octopus, and it's wearing a diving breathing apparatus on its face.

Despite having a large head, he was very thin and was wearing a full-coverage swimsuit with webbed feet, making his top-heavy appearance particularly strange.

"Ugh, it's so ugly."

Even Seruno said so, this weirdo is really unbearable to look at.

It completely defied physics, gliding almost parallel to the water's surface as it burst out, moving towards the riverbank while twisting its soft, boneless limbs to deftly dodge Sirius's laser beams.

Seemingly tired of the chase, Sirius spread its enormous wings of light, from which countless lasers that would bend at angles in the air blasted towards the sea, instantly creating a cloud of water vapor.

Light wings unfold (?)

Sitting on the pier, we couldn't see the strange man's location at all.

Look this way!

Seruno had already taken out her phone without anyone noticing.

The live stream was incredibly popular. After all, it was a battle on Sirius, so it was a huge spectacle with millions of viewers. The drone used thermal imaging technology to lock onto the rapidly moving octopus monster, which was surrounded by rapidly converging laser beams and was on the verge of death.

"Huh?"

Just when I thought the octopus monster's days were numbered, its figure suddenly disappeared from the screen, and Sirius's laser shot missed its target.

"what happened?"

Seruno put down her phone and became more vigilant.

But the next second, the bubble protecting us floated up without warning, its surface faintly glowing with an eerie purple light, as if it had been lifted into the air by some invisible force.

"Is this the target area?!"

To be precise, the target is Seruno.

"Looks like a water-type, but turns out to be a psychic monster?"

Where is its true form?

The fact that the laser missed means that the monster's ability is not simply invisibility, but probably also includes abilities such as teleportation.

"The drone has also lost its way... This is no good, the power of this telekinesis is too great, the bubble is going to be smashed!"

Seruno supports the magic bubble.

Sirius looked up at the night sky, then suddenly exerted her strength, shooting into the night sky with a trail of light behind her. Behind her were no longer wings of light, but jet propulsion systems made of light.

Is that the Magnum power system?

Because of the great distance and the great height, I could not see the aerial battle clearly with my naked eye, but by tracking the light of Sirius, I could vaguely see another dark shadow.

Dazzling aerial combat...

What should I (Miluno) do if I encounter a flying enemy like this?

The battle ended quickly, the psychic power binding the bubble disappeared, and Seruno and I slowly landed.

Sirius landed steadily, carrying an octopus monster in a light net... It smelled burnt; it had turned into takoyaki.

"Miss Sirius is so strong!"

With the crisis averted, Seruno happily ran over.

"Wait! Seruno!"

Realizing something, I tried to call out to this idiot, but she was completely oblivious to the drone still filming nearby.

"Oh my? Seruno-chan, are you going to be my backup dancer?"

Even I know that Sirius's battle livestreams have a special feature: after winning, they will always sing a new single as a thank you to their fans.

Seruno, meanwhile, inadvertently stumbled into the intro that seemed to start from nowhere.

The idiot stared blankly at the drone's camera lens, his expression becoming uneasy and flustered as the music played.

"Huh? No..."

But the words of refusal stuck in his throat.

"...I, I'll dance! I'll be Miss Sirius's backup dancer!"

Did you suddenly change your mind?

"Very good, then try your best to keep up with me!!"

The glittering idol began singing on the beach.
