Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"I understand... Miss Antarctic Star, please come over here for a moment."

Miss Miluno nodded, then pulled the somewhat clumsy-looking Antarctic Star aside to discuss tactics.

I also looked at Miss Sirius, who was on the same team.

"Hmm, Seruno-chan, is there anything you want to say?"

"What is Miss Antarctic Star's magic?"

Miss Sirius blinked and asked, "Don't you know?"

"The Antarctic Circle has not been invaded many times, and judging from the few battles that have occurred, the forces involved are probably exaggeratedly powerful?"

When the Antarctic Star was discovered by the international expedition team, the monster that was the opponent had already been censored by this magical emperor penguin. Although it was dressed in a polite tuxedo, it possessed extremely exaggerated and enormous strength.

However, that power seems to be subject to certain conditions.

"Hmph, you're quite observant, aren't you? The essence of magic lies in the secret of the South Star, but I'll tell you anyway in order to win the competition!"

Sirius leaned close to my ear and whispered, "That penguin girl's magic is to manipulate the mass of objects she touches, but it doesn't last long, and it just happens to be countered by your ability."

My bubbles can eliminate the inertia of objects and the force applied to them; in other words, my magic can nullify their attacks, and I can indeed gain the upper hand.

"One person is responsible for receiving the ball, and the other person is responsible for returning it. These roles don't need to be divided too clearly. Just adapt to the situation on the court."

Miss Sirius stepped onto the field as she spoke.

On one side of the volleyball court, Ms. Yin Wei climbed high onto the referee's chair, which was equipped with a sunshade.

Her long, straight hair was braided into a plait and hung down her back. She wore sunglasses on her serious face and had a mahogany whistle hanging on her chest.

In addition, she finally took off the suit that looked too hot and changed into a more conservative two-piece swimsuit, but the sky-blue fabric shimmered like plastic and was very eye-catching in the sun.

"Hello~"

She suggested, "Why don't we practice before we start? At least we can learn the basic skills of catching and hitting the ball."

"okay!"

I readily agreed.

After all, this was my first time playing volleyball. If I stood opposite Miss Miluno without any preparation, I would not only be completely defeated, but I would also appear disrespectful.

"That Seruno-chan."

Miss Sirius picked up a volleyball from the side and threw it at me.

"You try serving first."

"Miss Antarctic Star, have you ever played volleyball before?"

The penguin girl, whose expression wasn't much more varied than mine, shook her head.

He replied, "We don't have this kind of activity in the Antarctic Circle, but the people at the research station do play curling together."

"No, that's a completely different sport from volleyball."

Speaking of which, what exactly are the rules of curling?

I rubbed my temples and asked again, "What kind of magic do you have?"

"I can change the 'relative' mass of an object."

"...How do you explain that?"

Antarctic Star thought for a moment and grabbed a handful of sand from the beach.

“I’ve increased the quality of this handful of sand for ‘you’.”

As she spoke, she reached out her hand, and I instinctively reached out to take it.

As a result, the fine sand that flowed through my fingers made me feel its weight. When I finally let go, I almost couldn't hold it up. In addition, the sand grains were small, and the huge pressure almost broke my palm.

Although amazing, this reshaping effect dissipates quickly, turning back into ordinary sand in less than ten seconds.

"The destructive power of your magic is quite astonishing..."

I brushed the remaining sand off my hands.

"However, it would be quite disadvantageous to use it in this match."

"How to say?"

"Serno's magic can block the forces inside and outside the bubble and eliminate the inertia of matter. No matter how heavy the racket is, it will be trapped by her magic and become a floating bubble."

Seruno's magic is inherently defensive, and Sirius's tangible lasers are also a major headache; their combination is practically impregnable.

However, according to the rules, you can't use magic to interfere with the other side of the volleyball net, so there shouldn't be any bubbles on the ball that Seruno hits.

Nanjixing scratched his short hair.

Politely, I asked, "Miss Miluno, what's your plan?"

"There is one, but it's not a particularly brilliant strategy. It just takes advantage of Seruno's magical weakness. Her magic can only work on things she can see, so all I have to do is make the ball go so fast that I can't see it anymore."

"Is Miss Miluno's magic really speed-based?"

"...I guess so."

Although it's somewhat despicable, I don't want to reveal my secrets, even though Antarctic Star has already told me the principles of his magic.

On the other side of the net, Seruno had already begun practicing her serves.

I watched as she focused intently on the ball, tossed it, and then swung her arm violently…

Oh, I missed.

The volleyball hit my head and then landed on the sand at my feet.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Super-Fast Ball

(Sun Yao)

"what!"

The volleyball, slammed into the two-meter-high net, then fell limply onto the beach.

"..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Sirius, I'm not very good at sports."

After several failed serves, Sirius, who had initially been secretly amused, began to show a troubled expression.

She probably realized that it wouldn't be easy to lead a bottom-tier player like me to victory...

She sighed, "How many times have I told you to use your wrists to generate power? What's wrong with your terrible body coordination?"

"There's nothing I can do. Even if my physical hardware is upgraded, my software doesn't have an exercise option."

"You danced pretty well yesterday."

"As for dancing, I've seen it quite a lot..."

"Haven't you ever watched volleyball player 0? Little Deer 0~"

"No, Miss Sirius, what era are you from?"

Miss Sirius took the volleyball from my hand and weighed it in her hand.

"It's okay, I'll serve in a bit. Try to block the ball that comes your way, you should be able to do that, right?"

It doesn't require much exercise; if you just need to focus on the volleyball and use magic, even I could do it.

However, I am more worried about Miss Milno's acceleration magic. During the battle with the Mermaid, I saw her throw a super-fast stone that science could not explain. The speed was beyond the range of the naked eye. If she used it in volleyball, I might not have time to defend before she scored a point.

"Ooh!"

A maid called out, and following her gaze, a familiar golden retriever ran out from the other side of the beach.

"Ah! Ah Huang!"

Miss Sirius asked Yezi and me to take home a golden retriever. Because of its beautiful coat, we finally decided to name it "Golden Ship".

It came running with its pink tongue sticking out, but brushed past me and then pounced on Miss Miluno.

Huh?

strangeness.

The Golden Ship seems to be very attached to Miss Miluno. Could it be that she also went to the kennel over at the meadow?

"How did this child escape from the ranch?"

Miss Sirius sighed and rubbed her forehead. I guessed, "She probably heard the commotion on the beach and couldn't resist the urge to play, so she climbed over the fence. The kennel fence isn't particularly high, so it's not impossible for a large dog to escape."

Besides, Golden Retrievers are an intelligent breed of dog.

"Zara, take it back to the kennel first."

Because Melissa had taken Yezi to the island to do some shopping, Sirius called over the short-haired brown maid he had met yesterday. Thinking that she and the other maids were all poor mute girls, my sympathy had nowhere to go...

Fortunately, the maid was optimistic and, upon hearing the order, walked towards the golden retriever at Miss Miluno's feet.

but……

"Miss Sirius, could it join the party too?"

She readily agreed to my request.

"Well, it's not impossible. I'll give you two a chance to get to know each other."

After Miss Miluno had given me a good time, Golden finally pounced on me and rubbed against my legs.

"Hey, Ah Huang, are you here to watch our match?"
