Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Judging from his delayed reaction, he doesn't seem like he has a girlfriend.

Come to think of it, we're best buddies who grew up together. He even spent all his summer vacation with me. Do you think I don't know whether he has a girlfriend or not?

I raised my hand and put it on his shoulder.

He asked with concern, "Ye Zi, when did you start having this interest?"

He turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to look at me.

"What...what interest do you mean?"

"Wearing women's clothes! Since you don't have a girlfriend, this outfit can only belong to you, right? Or are you actually a magical girl, so you need to keep a few women's clothes on hand for your private activities?"

Of course, the latter part was just a joking guess.

"Yes, these women's clothes are indeed mine..."

To my surprise, he actually admitted it.

"...You still wear women's clothes?"

He explained with a dark expression, "But these weren't bought recently. They're clothes from junior high. I didn't wear them willingly; my dad made me wear them... If you don't mind wearing clothes I've worn, you can try them on... Of course, forget about the underwear."

Ye Zi's shy, pursed-lip appearance was quite amusing.

"Huh? Your mother has a hobby of dressing her son in women's clothes?"

"...After all, she's my mom."

He said this while giving a dry smile.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite normal for that person to have this kind of interest.

After all, she used to always say that if either Yezi or I were a girl, we would be a perfect couple, and we wouldn't have to waste public resources; we could just settle it within our own families.

...Wait a minute, I'm a girl now.

Although she's a magical girl, once she takes off her battle armor, she's no different from any other girl. It's said she can even get pregnant and give birth, so marriage is also possible...

Wait a minute, what am I thinking about?

How did I even think of marrying Ye Zi!

I will change back to normal after Ms. Kagerou is discharged from the hospital and after the public opinion storm subsides!

Sun Yao! Wake up!

I patted my burning cheeks and asked again, "Isn't it cute?"

"what do you mean?"

It seems like the question was asked without any beginning or end.

"I mean, do you look cute when you're dressed as a woman?"

"How am I supposed to answer this kind of question?"

"Didn't you take any photos or anything? I'd like to see them!"

I really want to see what Ye Zi looks like in women's clothing. He has a very delicate face, so he shouldn't look out of place in women's clothes...

"You should put on some clothes before you do that."

He picked out a dress from the closet and stood in front of me.

"Then forget about it, Yao. Everyone has one or two embarrassing moments in their past that they don't want to remember... You can understand that now, right?"

As he said this, the shadows on his face suddenly became thick and weathered.

It seems there really is a tragic past that's hard to recall...

"You want me to wear this dress?"

"Anything is fine, but at least you should wear some clothes, right? You came out wearing only a bath towel. Don't you think about yourself, but also about how I feel?"

Because of my current appearance, he is even ashamed to look at me.

And having just come out of the bathroom, this body is in such good condition.

After doing that kind of thing in the bathroom, I imagine my face is still flushed with that alluring, sensual blush, right?

Will this be misunderstood?

But if it's Ye Zi, he probably wouldn't care... or would he care?

As expected, someone like me is not suited to possessing a Star Crystal. I'm too frivolous and careless; this is not the magical girl I envision.

My overheated mind was filled with chaotic logic as I took the light blue halter dress.

Then he asked, "Ye Zi, are you curious about girls' bodies?"

"...What are you trying to say?"

"Hey, it's rare for you to become a magical girl, and you'll change back to a magical girl eventually anyway, don't you want to take this opportunity to learn more about a girl's body?"

The words I managed to say made my ears burn.

“…Ah Yao, we can’t do this kind of thing.”

"No, that's not what I meant... It's just that I have a great body! It's not that... it's just that... I just explored the feeling of a girl's body in the bathroom... Does that seem indecent?"

Despite her incoherent speech, Ye Zi rubbed her forehead after listening.

He pondered for a while, probably understanding the reason for my confusion, and then tried to summarize it.

“Ayao, you think magical girls are heroes who save the world, and they are as noble as idols. They can’t have any stains and have to be careful in everything they do. You don’t want to ruin the world… no, that’s not right. You don’t want to ruin the image of magical girls in your own mind.”

Ye Zi is right.

My ideal magical girl is someone who is so perfect that she is almost divine, which is why I admire the pure and powerful Milno so much.

“But I know you are Ayao, my brother. If you want to maintain the image people have of you, then go ahead. But in front of me, you can completely let go of those burdens. Whether it’s anxiety, complaints, lewd thoughts about girls, or exploration of your own body... No matter what bad things happen to you, you can talk to me. No matter what emotions you have, you can confide in me.”

"After all, the only person who can make you take off your mask right now is me, right?"

They saw right through me.

This made me feel even more ashamed.

I hugged my dress to cover my body, not knowing what to say.

But I felt a light pat on my head.

Ugh?

What kind of feeling is this?

“I understand, I will accept everything about you, so there’s no need to feel uneasy.”

I was so happy I could hardly contain myself. Even though I had become a magical girl, Yoko's attitude towards me hadn't changed.

There was even a slight urge to cry.

"Ye Zi, thank you."

"Idiot, don't thank me. Since you still consider me a brother, don't be so polite. Go change your clothes first, I still need to tidy up your room."

He left with a warm smile, closing the door behind him.

"Hmm, what's this?"

The moment I closed the door, the feelings I absolutely couldn't show him welled up inside me. I buried my face in my clothes and then collapsed onto the bed... The bed was soft and smelled quite like leaves.

I had never noticed it before.

But from a girl's perspective, he's the perfect boyfriend!

"Calm down, let's change our clothes first."

Although there are other women's clothes in the wardrobe, this simple dress is more suitable if you're going to wear it to bed.

Just as he took off the towel he was wearing, there was another noise at the door.

knock --

"W-What's wrong?"

Ye Zi's sudden knock on the door made me a little nervous.

He closed the door to the second bedroom when he left, but didn't lock it. I was completely naked at that moment, and I was really afraid he would suddenly barge in.

He simply said through the door, "Ayao, why don't you sleep in my room tonight? I'll sleep in my parents' room."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened to the guest room?

"I only found out the air conditioner was broken after I finished cleaning. You'll suffocate if you sleep in it all night."

Mid-July is the hottest time of the year, and it's really uncomfortable to sleep in a room without air conditioning for one night.

"But your bedroom hasn't been cleaned in a long time either, has it?"

Although it's a three-bedroom, one-living-room house, the guest room and master bedroom are basically kept closed year-round. Yezi's parents are in a similar situation to my father; we rarely see them, maybe once a year. We two are basically left to our own devices.

Since the guest room hasn't been cleaned in a long time, the other side is probably in the same condition; you probably wouldn't even need to bring your own cement to dance on the bed anymore.

"It'll be quick to clean, and if all else fails, I can sleep on the sofa."

"Don't do that, let's sleep in your room together."

"...Isn't this...inappropriate?"

The voice behind the door sounded hesitant.

I put on a dress, but going braless seemed a bit risky, so I summoned another part of my battle armor—my underwear.

After getting dressed properly, I opened the door.

"If all else fails, just sleep on the floor. You're afraid to share a bed with me, but you're not so unwilling to share a room with your brother, are you?"

Chapter Eight Bubble

(Albinocotyledon)

The profession of "magical girl" holds a sacred and inviolable place in A Yao's heart. However, due to his inferiority complex, he places himself in a very low position. Therefore, when he becomes a magical girl, he inevitably falls into self-doubt because of the vast difference in their identities.
