Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

After we sat down, I continued our previous conversation: "Miss Spica, do you still recognize my mother?"

“I told you, didn’t I? I’m from Esperia. The initial wormhole invasions were mostly in Europe. Your parents and I were assigned to the same resistance squad. We were comrades-in-arms. Oh, and there was you when you were little.”

Miss Spica displayed a gentle and kind demeanor, which is unusual for her.

"I'm sorry, I don't recall Miss Spica."

"After all, you were so young back then."

She gestured with her hand and then touched my hair.

“I’m sorry you’ve suffered. Sirius and I should have realized sooner that Ahji’s current mental state is not good enough to take care of you.”

"You've said something similar before, I really didn't suffer much~"

My living expenses aren't small either, so I think I'm happier than most people.

"Because of the albino leaves?"

"……Um."

Yes, and leaves too.

Because of his companionship, I had a relatively normal childhood, and my personality did not go to extremes.

Miss Spica smiled and said, "I quite like that child too, why don't you let me have him?"

He said it so directly, and it didn't sound like a joke.

"I... I think there's too much of an age gap between you two!"

"Age is not a problem. After the transformation, we'll be the same. Besides, you were originally a boy, so you have even less of a chance, right?"

She completely saw him as a competitor.

"I think this is something Yezi should decide for herself..."

“Serno, my magic can alter the mind.”

"Brainwashing? Isn't that cheating?!"

Unable to contain himself, he spoke loudly, which attracted the attention of other diners.

"Cough cough."

I coughed twice to cover up my embarrassment.

"In short, I won't give Ye Zi to you! Our relationship is much deeper, we're childhood sweethearts, he'd definitely accept me more..."

As I was talking, I got myself into a mess.

"You know what? Siblings rarely develop into lovers because they are too familiar with each other. It's the same for you two. Since you've been friends since childhood, can he really see you as a girl?"

"...I think so."

I'm not quite sure.

Yezi seems to intend to maintain our original relationship, but I don't know how long it can last. If I don't change back, our relationship will deteriorate sooner or later, as evidenced by his attitude towards me and my own changes.

This is not a premonition; it is something that is already happening.

Miss Spica didn't continue the topic, and I knew I couldn't persuade her to give up unless Yezi found a girlfriend... I hope Miss Miluno can take the initiative and seize the opportunity I've created for her.

"Let's go to the meeting point, it's almost time."

"Ah? Um..."

After a quick lunch, carrying our bags of purchases, Ms. Spica and I returned to the fountain square where we started.

Although it was midday, there were still many tourists here. It took some effort to find Sirius and Yin Wei.

"Hey, Seruno-chan, you've had a good haul, haven't you?"

Sirius's hawking was somewhat amusing. In comparison, she and Miss Yin Wei didn't buy anything, but they might have acquired some Star Crystals.

However, I do have a habit of buying things I can't stop. Yezi says that I don't earn money and don't know how expensive daily necessities are.

Speaking of leaves, Miluno and leaves swaggered out from behind us.

Miss Gila, their translator and guide, was with them too. With her company, they must have had a great time.

“Serno…”

As soon as Miluno came over, she moved close to me, which made me a little nervous.

"Ok?"

"...Please settle my bill first."

Chapter 57 Milno's Surprise Attack

(Sun Yao)

Miluno and Yezi were penniless, and they were able to shop around entirely thanks to Miss Gila's advance payment. I felt bad that she hadn't considered this, so I naturally paid off their debts without hesitation.

"Miluno, Yezi, I'm so sorry..."

Miluno shook her head.

"He's just giving empty apologies again."

"Hehe, but I still have to thank Miss Gila."

At least she didn't embarrass Miluno.

"No need to thank me, I made money."

Miss Gila waved her hand and said to Miluno, "Well, Miluno, see you again in Changkong City?"

"Yes, I'll treat you to a welcome-back dinner."

Wow? I'm looking forward to it~ See you later!

The blonde, blue-eyed, enthusiastic older sister waved goodbye and left, even giving Sirius a high-five before she went... Hmm? Why does it feel like they know each other?

If you don't understand, just ask.

"Is Miss Gila also going to Changkong City?"

"She said there would be better opportunities in Changkong City, but I don't know what she'll be doing there. I heard she has friends there."

Milno answered calmly, and I looked at Sirius, who seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

"So, Miss Sirius already knew Miss Gila?"

"Hahaha, you guys got tricked by her."

Now, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.

“Gila Kidman, she is the local guide I arranged for you, in other words, there is no need to pay her any commission from the beginning.”

"Miss Gila was sent by Miss Sirius?!"

I couldn't help but be surprised, but Miluno had an expression of sudden realization.

"No wonder she seemed to know who we were from the very beginning."

"Wow! Miss Jira is so mean!"

Isn't that deceiving us from the very beginning?

"Not only that, she is also one of Hawaii's magical girls, but she herself is unwilling to stay in this small place."

"Is Miss Gila a magical girl?"

"Falcon, the magical girl, is a flight-type magician, literally meaning an aerial combat witch. However, she is not well-known. There are too few outsiders in Hawaii, and she is not the only magical girl. The competition is fierce and there is no money, highlighting the intense competition."

She did complain about the lack of weirdos in Hawaii, saying that magical girls had to find side jobs to make a living; it turns out she was referring to herself...

"However, she's determined to go to Changkong City this time, so I won't try to stop her. I'll leave her in your care from now on."

"Ok!"

…………

……

After crossing the pier back onto the yacht, Ms. Yin Wei climbed back into the wheelhouse.

Milno took my hand and led me back to the large room with the double bed. I didn't know what she wanted to say, but she locked the door as soon as she entered, which made me a little nervous.

"Miss Miluno?"

"Serno, open the bubble."

She took my hand, and with my other hand I took out my wand, released a bubble membrane that enveloped us both, and then expanded into a geometric bubble that covered half the room, blocking the transmission of sound.

Then, Miluno accelerated the bubbles, and the wall clock came to a standstill.

"...What do you want me to do?"

"Serno, do you like Shirokoye?"

Huh? Why, why are you asking that?

"Of course I like it, we're best friends."

"Is that so? That's why you said those things to Spica..."

Miluno seems to have misunderstood something.

"Those...those words?"

She replied, "'I won't give Ye Zi to you. We have a deep bond and are childhood sweethearts. He'll definitely be more accepting of me.' I remember it was like that."

This sentence made my eyes widen.

"You guys are at that restaurant too?"

"Yes." Miluno's affirmative answer made me even more embarrassed.

"And those leaves too..."

"Of course I heard it too. We're right here in the Western restaurant, and our seats are only a half-wall away from yours... By the way, that restaurant is owned by Gila's family."

My face involuntarily flushes as I reflect on what I said.
