Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"We need to find a way to break that shield... we don't even need to break it completely... just a small hole, a gap, and we'll have an opportunity."

Even as I say this, the fragmented consciousness still denies it.

"It's impossible. Although it looks like fragile glass, it's something that's conceptually indestructible..."

It is indeed common sense that one cannot pass through without causing damage.

"Perhaps, destruction is not necessary."

"Then how can we connect them?"

"Hmph, light can shine through glass, you know?"

Chapter 425 A Long-Awaited Reunion

diffusion……

The immense radiance of the Heart of Light is continuously released into the air, and even with my eyes closed, even within the ocean of my consciousness, the range I can perceive becomes increasingly larger.

“It’s already starting to resemble a god,” the fragment of consciousness said.

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Your spirit is still within the ocean of consciousness, yet it has already interfered with reality. This is no different from the actions of the Earth Crystal."

"That's just a similarity; I can't influence the world on my own."

"It's just a difference in scale."

The fragment of consciousness is quite persistent in its own reasoning.

"All you can interfere with is the area covered by your radiance... Continue, try to expand it a little further."

"I know, we still need to find a way to get through this wall."

There are gaps between those pipes and cables, as evidenced by the nanomachines scattered throughout the combat suit. The properties of Sirius crystal allow me to alter the physical form of light, enabling fluid light to pass through these tiny gaps…

"Oh, it worked."

My radiance reached behind the door, and even my ocean of consciousness transformed into the scene at the entrance. Even without relying on the body, my spirit could wander within the area covered by the radiance.

Is this the world as seen from Earth's crystal perspective?

"Yes, if your radiance can cover the whole world... then you will be the ruler of the world."

"The Dominator doesn't sound like a good person."

While complaining to the fragments of consciousness, he arrived at the edge of the glass dome.

Numerous cables converge on the synapses above the glass dome from all directions; simply unplugging these cables could cause unpredictable errors in the new world.

"...Although I can't see Seruno, I do have the means to destroy the New World."

But I'm not an antisocial personality, so there's no need for me to deal with these cables.

"Well then, let's go in."

When the light from the fluid comes into contact with the glass, it reverts to its original properties and passes through successfully.

"Oh, so easy?"

Indeed, the most important thing is the method.

The ever-deepening radiance eventually touched a corner of the Earth's crystal.

But that's enough.

More than half a month later, my consciousness re-entered the ocean of consciousness of the Earth Crystal, where a large amount of information was still gathered, but all of it came from the new world.

It was the great will that was transmitted through those cables.

The magical girls of the new world all live inside the "heads" of two gods.

"Miluno?"

That's the real Seruno's voice.

"Well, you've finally made it in."

A pink-clad girl in a nightgown appeared in this sea of ​​consciousness, skipping and hopping to me, giving me a wry smile with her eyebrows down.

Her reaction was calm, even somewhat helpless.

It was supposed to be a long-awaited reunion, but it felt like something was missing—a sense of emotion.

"Did you know I was coming all along?"

"I know~ After all, I've been watching you."

"You know everything I do in the new world?"

"You know about the old world, including your groping of other girls!"

"No, I didn't lay a hand on you!"

Seruno smiled and took my hand...

This is a spiritual connection, the kind of love Plato sought.

I never expected that she would be so tender-hearted.

"I'm really touched that you haven't forgotten me... But I still have the right to be a little jealous, right?" Seruno muttered.

Her pouty little expression was absolutely adorable.

"……Great."

I couldn't help but say it out loud.

"It's so good to see you again."

Although I've lost my memory of her, I still couldn't help but say it.

I hugged her too; I wanted to completely accept her.

"Cough cough."

An unromantic cough.

"You two should be mindful of the occasion when you're all lovey-dovey. There are more important things to do right now."

"Don't be so tactless, Miss Agent?"

When I said this, the fragment of consciousness didn't acknowledge it; instead, it seemed surprised.

"So that's what you think... I was wondering why you suddenly said you knew who I was..."

"Aren't you Enheria's agent?"

When I asked that, the fragment of consciousness immediately replied, "No, why would you think that?"

"Besides that black rabbit, you're the only one who would care about Michelle so much, right?"

You guessed wrong.

"Then who exactly are you?"

“I am just a remnant of Michelle in your body... I have a part that belongs to the agent, and a part that belongs to another you. I am just a fragment of Michelle.”

Is that why it has no physical form?

However, this fragment attempts to prevent the original from carrying out a suicide plan.

“This is the ocean of consciousness of the Earth Crystal, which Michelle cannot easily see. I can finally tell you all her plans.”

In response, Seruno said, "She told me about her ideas in the old world, but I didn't agree."

"Tell me her plan first, otherwise I'll be the only one who doesn't understand what you're talking about..."

Michelle's fragment replied, "She wants to resurrect the agent."

This basically matches my previous guesses.

"And, isn't it at the cost of his own life to revive the agent?"

Seruno added, "Rather than a price to pay, it's more about reviving the agent; Michelle's existence will inevitably disappear."

"The absorption of a personality is irreversible, that's the general consensus, right? It's a rule that even gods can't rewrite, but there's one possibility that's an exception..."

He paused, then looked at me with a serious expression.

"That is the power of time reversal, reversing 'Michelle's' existence and restoring her to 'the agent' and 'another you'."

"...Hasn't the black rabbit already come out?"

"For Michelle, the existence of another you is unnecessary."

The invisible fragment of consciousness explained: "In order to break the barrier of the Earth Crystal, she only needed the power of the Vega Crystal, so when the new world began, she released another version of you as your guardian."

"The gravedigger?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have had the chance to wake up in reality."

So, that hibernation pod is my grave.

This tiny fragment of consciousness was a missing element in Michelle's plan.

"So, that girl is constantly nurturing my power so that I can succeed her as the new Great Will, and she can sacrifice herself to revive the agent?"

Seruno nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's what she said. How could I possibly agree to something like that?"

"You said Michelle is planning to brainwash all of humanity, what's that all about?"

Seruno sighed.

"Hmm, haven't you noticed yet? Brainwashing has already begun in secret."

"Huh? Have humans changed at all?"

"I really didn't notice," Seruno shook her head and reminded me, "Don't you think your popularity is a bit inexplicable? Or do you really think you're incredibly charming?"

Well? !
