Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

That's right. This time, besides taking back Seruno, I also need to reclaim my Star Crystal.

"Okay, then let's call him Taibai."

Although it sounds a bit old-fashioned...

"Have you taken your clothes off?"

"Yes, I've already taken it off."

Metall then offered a reminder.

"You need to take off your bra too, otherwise it will leave marks on your body!"

"Take it all off!"

"Hehe, don't find me annoying. This suit will adapt to your body shape, which is like initialization. You might feel a little pressure during this process. Just think of it as a full-body blood pressure measurement. Oh, remember to take a breath first."

I took a deep breath.

Then, the combat suit, which should have been baggy, suddenly began to shrink and quickly wrapped around my entire body like a tight-fitting rubber suit, creating a strong sense of pressure that forced me to exhale the last breath I had inhaled.

Hmm, my chest is being compressed.

I can't breathe.

The suffocating feeling lasted for several seconds before the pressure on my whole body gradually eased. At this point, the combat suit fit my body perfectly, like a second skin, and I could move freely. However, my helmet was still completely dark, even though it was still fully lit.

Just as I was thinking this, the interface on the helmet visor finally lit up. At the same time, the external sounds became clearer, and the helmet's wide field of vision and built-in ambient sound system started working, providing me with clearer visuals and sound effects...

So what I'm seeing is a screen?

There are no pixels visible at all, and there is no delay whatsoever.

"Try walking around?"

As Metal said that, I walked around the equipment room.

The suit itself is a bit heavy, but it's perfectly manageable for me.

"There are physical switches near the ears, but you only need to think to make this combat suit change according to your wishes. The helmet is equipped with a weak AI that, although it will not communicate with you directly, can understand your thoughts and call up the functions you need."

As Metar explained, he summoned a large lump of liquid metal, which eventually formed a smooth metallic mirror in front of me.

"Take a look? Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

The silver-white battle suit in the mirror was completely unrecognizable from the bulky clothes she wore before. It was more form-fitting than she had imagined, but it was also quite heavy, which showed how dense the materials that made up the suit were.

"Very handsome."

But her chest is too flat!

Just as I was thinking this, two air sacs suddenly swelled up in front of my chest...

Chapter 401 Spaceship

What an understanding mind-reading AI! It embarrassed me in front of everyone before it even took off.

It's a bit troublesome that they don't communicate or interact; they didn't even ask me if I needed anything...

It is said that the helmet has limited capacity, so the AI ​​it carries does not have the ability to think independently; it can only understand my thoughts and react according to its own functions.

"It's not that bad, is it?"

Mono gently tugged at my... airbag from behind.

"Your long-cherished wish has come true!"

No, no, no, it's too pathetic to regard something smaller than a weevil as a lifelong wish.

Sun Ji and some unfamiliar magical girls also put on spacesuits...

Yes, they are just regular spacesuits. Although they are not bulky designs, they are still spacesuits, and their main purpose is to allow them to survive on the space station.

I'm the only one dressed like a tokusatsu hero, and I'm the only one who needs to think about fighting.

Our art styles are completely different!

"Well, although there are still five hours, you can go inside the lunar spacecraft now to familiarize yourselves with it, especially Milno..."

As my dad said this, he walked up to me, pushed up his glasses, and continued, "This journey will take a full ten hours, so you'd better find out how to use the toilets on the spaceship first."

"I'm more concerned about how to take off this outfit than the location of the toilet."

I'm serious. The zipper on the front of my shirt has become just for decoration. It looks like it can be taken off, but it's completely stuck. The entire combat suit is like my second skin, completely fitting my body.

“I advise you not to think that way, Miluno.”

Metal gave a wry smile.

"The combat suit's AI will understand your thoughts and..."

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the back of the combat suit.

Do as instructed.

"Oh, no."

It was rapidly peeling away from my body, exposing me to the cool air from the air conditioner, and finally, these liquid metals wrapped around my wrists to form two simple silver bracelets.

I've been through this all the time, so I'm experienced and changed into normal clothes before I was completely exposed.

"Alright, I'll keep it on my wrist for now."

Even if these liquid metals shrink in volume, their mass will not change. As a bracelet, it would be too heavy; it could easily break the floor if tossed on the ground.

I weighed the bracelet in my hand, looked up and asked, "So, what's the underlying principle behind this thing?"

"Nanometers, kid!"

------

Sun Ji was the leader of this exploration mission.

She led us through the boarding bridge to the lunar spacecraft.

The spaceship is designed with a flat, streamlined shape that has a futuristic feel, which clearly uses technology from "the other side." Humanity's technological level is making great strides forward, but let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a complete disaster.

The hull is coated with a black photosensitive material, which not only protects the spacecraft from the harsh environment of space, but also provides power to the entire spacecraft system via solar energy.

Of course, I don't really care about these things. The main thing is that the black, streamlined spaceship looks very cool. Sure enough, things that conform to aerodynamics also conform to aesthetics.

The spacecraft is not powered by a traditional chemical rocket, but by a high-powered ion thruster that uses electrical charges to propel ions through a magnetic field, thereby generating thrust...

Um, okay.

I didn't quite understand what I was hearing either.

But according to the tech enthusiast Metal, ion thrusters are not a new technology; they can be understood as "electric propulsion." However, the advanced technology absorbed from "the other side" has multiplied the efficiency of this type of thruster. It took the slow and tedious zodiac to fly to the moon for three days, but this spacecraft only needs a little over ten hours.

Given such a huge technological gap, how exactly did humanity win?

Incidentally, this spaceship was only built after we arrived in the new world, less than half a month ago. The combined efforts of magical girls and advanced technology have yielded truly amazing results.

Sun Ji's spacesuit helmet was transparent, and she waved to me.

The interior of the spacecraft is smaller than it appears from the outside, roughly estimated to be less than 100 square meters. There are no windows for observing the outside (this definitely uses technology from "the other side"). After all, the flat structure only has a raised part in the middle that can carry people. The rest of the spacecraft contains various systems and equipment and instruments used for lunar surface exploration.

The slightly smaller main cabin was crammed with twelve members of the exploration team.

After learning how the zero-gravity toilet works, I decided to hold it in as much as possible during the moon landing, and of course, I wouldn't prepare any drinking water on the ship either...

Anyway, once we get to the moon, we can travel back and forth freely. We can totally go home to use the toilet after landing on the moon!

"Miluno, come say hello to everyone~"

I originally didn't want to interact too much with the other members of the reconnaissance team, since I would be acting alone after landing on the moon and was just hitchhiking. But sitting in the spaceship, staring at each other without saying anything would inevitably be a bit awkward...

"I'm Miluno, and... um, do I really need to introduce myself?"

I scratched my head and looked at the other team members in the main cabin.

They also introduced themselves. The other magical girl crew members were roughly divided into three categories: astronauts who operated the spaceship, scientists who collected various samples during exploration, and engineers who maintained the spaceship and exploration equipment.

Sun Ji was the guide and leader, and I was nominally their...insurance.

Yes, insurance.

When the spaceship encounters unavoidable danger or irreparable malfunction, I must urgently teleport these key personnel back to Earth. These highly skilled individuals are the treasures of humanity, far more valuable than the spaceship itself.

When they introduced themselves, they even took off their spacesuit helmets. Compared to me, who came with a tourist mentality, they had made ample preparations for this day, and the atmosphere was somewhat serious.

Fortunately, this was a group of intellectuals, and among them, relatively pure-minded researchers. One of the blonde, blue-eyed white ladies even had a similar halo around her head to mine...

The balance of light and darkness within her body was disrupted, but she didn't make any adjustments.

Many people take pride in the halo above their heads. It's not difficult to have a halo; it will appear if you keep doing good deeds with positive intentions. The difficulty lies in maintaining it. Being able to maintain one's halo by consistently doing good deeds is quite an achievement.

That's why Dad said this halo is a visual moral indicator of the new world, capable of raising people's moral standards...

However, none of them had horns on their heads.

Even if Sun Ji is one of the number one war criminals in my mind, he doesn't have horns on his forehead. If he did, he might not be able to wear the helmet of his spacesuit.

I was sitting in a chair on the bulkhead. During the time from takeoff to breaking through the atmosphere, everyone had to be strapped to this chair.

Inside the main cabin, Sun Ji, the only one who hadn't taken off his helmet, sat down next to me.

"We'll be leaving in three hours."

"I know."

"Do you still remember the plan?"

"certainly……"

I glanced at her, but couldn't see her expression because of the reflection in the glass.

"I said, do you remember Seruno... what kind of person was your daughter?"

Chapter 402 Wake Up!

"This is not something we should be discussing now."

She tried to change the subject, but I wasn't going to let her off the hook. "What's wrong with talking about family before going to the moon? It's not suspicious, is it? And speaking of which, should I call you father-in-law?"
