Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Let's ask Miss Sirius..."

Noticing the blonde figure on the beach, Seruno lifted the Golden Ship from the ground. The magical girl was very strong; she could easily lift even a large dog like the Golden Retriever.

"Hey, where have you two been?"

Noticing our approach, she was the first to greet us.

"Miss Sirius, the Golden seems to have eaten something by the reef. Do you think we should send it to the hospital?"

Seruno presented such a large dog to Sirius, who was stunned for a moment before reaching out to touch the belly of the Golden Ship.

"It's hard, it really feels like I ate something I shouldn't have."

Seruno pressed, "You touched it? What was it?"

"It's probably just a rock, but it's nothing serious. It will pass naturally later."

"Huh? Dogs can eat stones and it's okay?"

"Don't worry about this size; if it can't be expelled, it will be vomited out."

Sirius put the Golden Ship down from Seruno's hands and then led her back to sit in the shade of the parasol.

"Listen to me first. Spica just called me directly. I have a few things to explain."

Spica is naturally the name of the constellation Spica.

I sat down next to Seruno opposite Sirius, and the Golden Dog squeezed between our waists and rested on my lap.

"First, let's talk about Serino. Your dance yesterday was very popular, and everyone is encouraging you to debut as an idol. In addition, with your excellent performance in the volleyball match today, you already have considerable popularity as a new magical girl."

"Am I popular?"

"After all, they're very cute."

"Hehe, I just feel a little embarrassed."

Seruno scratched her head and grinned sheepishly, then asked, "I'll consider debuting, but what about other things?"

Sirius's expression turned serious.

"The pseudo-core of 'Kraken 13' has been stolen."

Kraken 13?

"Oh, that's the codename of the octopus-shaped extraterrestrial intruder from last night. Since similar monsters have appeared too many times, a number was added to the end of the codename. But that's not the point. The key is that this is the one who stole the core!"

Miss Sirius showed us her phone.

That was captured by surveillance cameras... the silhouette of the mechanical werewolf (ui-31).

Chapter Twenty-Six: Island Invaders

(Albinocotyledon)

"Is it the same one as the one in Changkong City?"

Sirius shook his head at my question.

"It's not certain yet. It could also be a mass-produced monster, but its appearance doesn't seem accidental. It's most likely aimed at you and Seruno."

It seems they're after Seruno; I can't think of any reason why I'm being targeted.

"Then it will come to Naboo Island too?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. According to the Hawaii branch's report, this guy is very agile and extremely fast, and he acts elusively, leaving almost no clues..."

Seruno slapped the Golden Ship's head and exclaimed, "Ah! I forgot because the dog was eating random things, but we just saw a figure swimming by underwater!"

Sirius countered, "A human figure?"

"Anyway, it's just that thing, it swims very fast, and it darted to the rocky area to the west. Could it be a werewolf? Could the Golden Ship have eaten that pseudo-core?"

"Don't be too nervous. It could be a shark, dolphin, or some kind of large jellyfish. I'll have someone keep an eye on the island's surveillance cameras, and we'll let you know if they spot a werewolf..."

Sirius paused, then added, "There's one more crucial thing: Spica has arranged a test to confirm whether Seruno-chan's magic has the ability to intercept the monsters inside the wormhole."

Upon hearing this, Seruno sat up straight abruptly, pressing her feet under her buttocks, and asked, "Oh! What do I need to do?"

"The association has prepared a dummy with a strength close to that of the monster. During its deployment, try to stop it in the wormhole."

"I can't see inside the wormhole, so I can't generate bubbles directly inside it."

“I know. First, you wrap the camera in a bubble and send it in, then build an interception line, and I will notify Antares to deploy the dummies.”

Seruno nodded, Sirius, who was the Star Crystal, took out her phone from her body, while Yin Wei took out the high-speed camera she had used when playing volleyball earlier... It seems there's nothing I can do, I can only watch this experiment with Antarctic Star.

Sigh, I really want to touch the belly of an emperor penguin.

"Hey~ Everything's ready over here, we can start the experiment anytime."

Sirius was on the phone when a white wormhole appeared in the sky. Although the color of the halo was different, the inside of the halo was still an ominous and deep darkness.

Since it was broad daylight and the sun was glaring, staring up at the wormhole was painful, so I simply closed my eyes and lay down, using magic to fast-forward time... But not long after, I felt someone patting my arm.

"Miss Miluno, wake up."

It is the South Pole Star.

"Has the experiment begun?"

The penguin girl, with a beautiful poker face, replied, "No, Sirius said the island's surveillance cameras captured a blurry figure and sent the two of us to patrol."

A blurry figure... Is that lecherous werewolf bastard?

"Row."

As soon as she got up, the Golden Ship came running up to Seruno.

"Wang~"

It seems to know that I am Shirokoye, so it is closer to me than Seruno. But how did it confirm this?

“Let’s go back to Seruno. We’re going to find the weirdo.”

Antarctic Star, however, said, "Its nose comes in handy when tracking."

"But we might end up fighting, and then we can't guarantee the child's safety."

"Awooo!"

I couldn't get rid of it at all. The dog rubbed against my legs like a cat, and sometimes it would stand up and paw at the straps of my swim trunks.

This ties aren't just for decoration; if they fall off, there will be problems. Originally, there were no men on the island (besides me), but now there might be perverts lurking there, and I don't want to be the one giving out fan service.

"Then let's go together. If we encounter that werewolf monster... Antarctic Star, please keep an eye on it."

"Ah."

After changing into thick-soled boots, Nanjixing and I walked along the mountain path towards the rocky mountain to the west. According to Seruno's previous statement, the werewolf who escaped to the island should have come in from the other side of the cliff.

I still don't understand how he got here from Changkong City.

The lush green rainforest scenery is very pleasing to the eye, but it also has a wide variety of insects. Not only are there many, but they are also very large... Even I felt a chill from the centipedes that were as thick as my fingers, but Nanjixing was not afraid at all and would pick them up to look at them to satisfy her curiosity.

"Wang!"

The Golden Ship seemed to have made a discovery. It roared and ran towards the mountainside. I followed it and only then did I notice the sounds of fighting coming from afar.

"Who else is there?"

I swung my sword and cleaved through the bushes blocking my way. A splash of vibrant red flashed before my eyes. I looked closely and saw it was Melissa, the head maid, holding a cane. She was still wearing her maid's outfit, and flowing flames were wrapped around the cane in her hands.

She is currently in a standoff with the mechanically armored werewolf UI-31.

But she was still wearing a maid outfit.

"...Ugh?!"

As soon as I popped my head out, the UI-31's gaze went straight for me. Perhaps because I was wearing a swimsuit, it looked me up and down many times before raising its hand to block Melissa's cane when it was pressed against my face.

"It's my turn to take over."

I frowned and kicked it in the face.

It had experienced my kicks before and knew the destructive power of this iron horse, so it didn't choose to take the hit head-on, but instead once again created space.

Antarctic Star, standing behind him, calmed the restless Golden Ship and asked, "So Miss Melissa is also a magical girl?"

Melissa kept her eyes on the UI-31, but still answered, "Yes, I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so long."

Everyone has secrets... although I don't have any.

"Subdue this guy first, and we'll deal with my own affairs later."

As Melissa spoke, she stepped forward and thrust out her cane with her left hand. A stream of fire spun in the air and rushed toward UI-31. Seeing this, I combined my short sword into a long sword and used a sweeping motion to block his space to move left and right.

"..."

UI-31 had no time to turn around. Heat surged from its body, and the blade claw on its right arm popped out as it charged toward Melissa in burst mode.

"Ow!"

He took Miss Melissa's attack head-on, and his armor was covered in flames. The flames looked like burning grease and alcohol, and seemed difficult to extinguish. Once you got on it, you would have to endure continuous scorching. However, the armor of the UI-31 was designed to generate extremely high temperatures. Just as the Sunfire could not effectively damage "Lava", Melissa's attack might not be so effective.

However, Melissa is not alone.

"Three against one and you're still planning to fight back? Don't you have any respect for the penguins?!"

That's some kind of Antarctic Circle lame joke.

Antarctic Star assumed a boxing stance and delivered a straight punch to UI-31's face. The latter emitted a blue light and was suddenly knocked to the ground by the weight.

The mass manipulation magic will soon be restored, but that will be enough time for me to launch an attack. Three running steps, leaping into the air with ten times the acceleration, and then...

15x speed mahou-shoujokick!!!

The iron sole of the boot struck the mechanical werewolf's back, and the immense force slammed his upper body into the ground, where he couldn't be pried out.

Melissa reminded her, "Miss Miluno, Spica needs to be captured alive."

I kicked the upturned leg of the ui-31.

"If you're still alive, make a sound."

"squeak."
