Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"What does she need Ye Zi for? Can't I go with her?"

Only after asking did I realize that I had been a bit too hasty.

No hurries?

I'm anxious about not being able to grasp Ye Zi's situation. I want to know everything about him, and I'm also extremely concerned about what Miss Sirius wants to see Ye Zi about...

"Don't worry, Sirius is just assigning him work, like today's purchasing task. There won't be any major problems. If you're really worried, just ask him when he gets back."

But he's mute now.

"Miss Miluno, are you free now?"

"I?"

A hint of surprise flashed across her face, then she asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Could you please come in and sit down so we can talk about what you mentioned this afternoon?"

"Of course, no problem."

Miss Miluno hesitated for a moment, but she still came in.

Ye Zi scratched her head and went out to the second floor to see Miss Sirius. Ordinary people would be excited when they see a magical girl, but Ye Zi remained calm and composed, even in the face of the world's number one magical girl...

Is it because of me?

"So, what do you want to say to me?"

While I was thinking, Miss Miluno had already sat down next to me.

The bed was so soft that it sank in as soon as you sat down, and it made us unconsciously move closer to each other, probably because we hadn't showered yet? I felt like I could smell Miss Miluno's scent...

"Serno?"

Miss Miluno brought me back to my senses, and when I came to my senses, her worried face was right in front of me, making my heart pound.

"Ah, I... I wanted to talk about Miss Spica's plan! Miss Sirius interrupted me this afternoon, and I couldn't express my opinion then..."

After this afternoon, I've had some thoughts.

"Shouldn't we wait and see what your father's attitude is before making any plans?"

I shook my head.

"That would be too passive..."

Since Milno intends to help Miss Spica, I should take the initiative as well.

I replied, "...I'll persuade Dad to agree to the plan."

Chapter Thirty-Eight Flow

(Albinocotyledon)

“I’ll persuade Dad to agree to this plan.”

Seruno is serious.

Whatever her reason, she finally made up her mind.

I certainly don't want her to take any risks, but I have to admit that her magic is essential for implementing Spica's plan as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although she plays the role of "key lady" in the whole plan, her function is more logistical. She is only responsible for delivering personnel and supplies to "the other side" safely, and does not need to go through the wormhole herself. Therefore, the risks she faces are relatively small.

Even with the daily wormhole invasions, it seems rather childish at the moment. Even if I don't intervene, the monsters sent are unlikely to pose a threat to Seruno.

The only thing to worry about is infiltration weapons like the UI-31. If these assassins, who can disguise themselves as ordinary people, were mass-produced, they would be too difficult to guard against.

"And what about Miss Miluno?"

Seruno lowered her head slightly and looked up at me.

"What do you think of Miss Spica's plan? I remember she invited you a while ago, didn't she?"

I nodded and answered truthfully, "I've talked to Yin Wei about this before. If the association can come up with a plan that satisfies me, it's not impossible for me to participate."

Before I even stated my conditions, Seruno's eyes widened with delight.

"Huh? So you mean there's a possibility of participating?"

"Ah."

Wow! That's great!

She was so excited to be able to fight alongside me that she raised her hands like a child.

This idiot is too naive. The essence of the Spica project is to rely on a full-scale war against "the other side," and war... will definitely result in deaths.

Does Seruno really have this awareness?

And what about me?

I sighed and patted the wispy bangs on her forehead.

"Go take a shower and rest first. I'll go upstairs and see what Sirius and your friend are talking about."

"I'll go too."

Seeing me get up, she stood up as well, and I quickly pressed her shoulder to help her sit back on the bed.

"No, you can't go."

Why?

She pouted her little lips with a hint of grievance, looking pitiful and adorable.

"I'd like to know what Miss Sirius wants with Ye Zi. I have a feeling they're hiding a lot from me..."

Is it because we don't know that we feel uneasy?

I knelt down in front of her and looked up at her disappointed face.

The question was asked: "Do you think your friend would harm you?"

"will not."

The answer was very straightforward.

"Do you think Sirius would harm you?"

"...No."

"Since they don't want you to know, it means it concerns you. Whatever it is, they definitely want the best for you, am I right?"

The girl nodded obediently, and I couldn't help but reach out to touch her slightly round cheeks, even though I knew she was actually Ayao.

If she could stay a girl forever, that wouldn't be so bad, would it?

"So just wait patiently, and when the time is right, he will definitely tell you everything."

As for when it will mature...

Perhaps I'll have to wait until the day I stop being a magical girl.

"Yes, Miss Miluno, thank you."

I stood up again.

"Think it over yourself, I'm leaving now."

The sentimental Seruno calmed down and went to the bathroom to take a shower, figuring she would need some time to sort out her thoughts.

"Good night, Miss Namiluno."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Even so, we'll meet soon.

After all, I don't intend to let that guy UI-31 sleep in the same room as Seruno.

------

Leaving the guest room, I quickly went up to the second floor, arrived at Sirius's master bedroom, and pushed the door open and went straight in.

Unsurprised by my arrival, the blonde idol, leaning against the balcony railing in the moonlight, merely glanced at me before continuing to check information with the UI-31 on her tablet.

"You mean, because of the brainwashing from 'the other side,' your memories of yourself as a human being are incomplete?"

The ui-31, who was slumped in a rattan chair on the balcony, glanced at me and replied, "Hmm, very fragmented and unclear."

I paused for a moment before I realized what he meant by his answer.

"Wait, he can actually speak now."

Being able to speak is much more convenient, but why is it such a clear and beautiful female voice?

“Miluno-chan, didn’t I say before that I could do it? He’s practically my contractor now. I used the power of the Star Crystal to modify his throat… well, although only a female voice is available.”

Why?

It's so strange that it's making this sound while looking at my face.

"You're already using a female voice, why don't you turn him into a magical girl?"

“It is indeed possible, but if I did that, I wouldn’t be able to stand here.”

Star Crystals need to be completely fused with an organic entity to transform someone into a magical girl, and Sirius itself is a Star Crystal, so...

I sighed and sat down next to UI-31.

"So, what was the result of the interrogation?"

Sirius pointed to his head and replied, "His memories are fragmented, but the information he can recall generally matches up. However... he insists that he only spent a few months on the 'other side'."

"So it really is due to different time flow rates?"

I rested my chin on my hand and thought for a moment, then asked, "How much do you know about 'the other side'?"

“I was locked in a cell without doors or windows and never saw anyone else… It was more like a storage container than a cell, until one day it was taken out and modified, but it malfunctioned when it was brainwashing me… You know what happened after that.”

Indeed, one cannot expect a single experimental product to access much information.

The female voice on the ui-31 is very clear; if it weren't for my face being on it, it would be quite pleasant to listen to.

“Dear Miss Sirius, I have a request.”
