Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

“You are not meant to exist in this world. Michelle and I don’t even know how you escaped from the cage.”

"That means your simulations weren't accurate enough, and you gave up too soon."

"...Forty years."

She suddenly started saying things I couldn't understand.

"Huh? What forty years?"

“In the past thirteen rounds of simulations, nothing like this has ever happened before. This time, not only did Milno rise from her coffin, but you also broke through the cage and entered the new world…”

Thirteen wheels?

“Each time, everyone’s memory is erased except for mine and the child’s.”

The "New World" has come full circle so many times, but apart from her and Michelle, everyone else has been stuck in the same place for forty years...

Michelle's surprise when she saw me was genuine.

Clearly, Michelle did not foresee this future...

"So what do you think caused this result?"

“Your power is growing, and Michelle’s restrictions on you are gradually becoming ineffective.”

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Do not."

Miluno's voice came from behind her.

“They don’t want to see you continue to grow; they just want me to surpass Michelle and become the master of the great will.”

Ah, it's my Miluno!

This is the first time in the New World that two Milnos have appeared at the same time.

The magical girls at the survey center appeared surprised and confused.

"You shouldn't be here."

"Don't worry, I have no interest in reclaiming my identity before the concert in three days. You're better at live streaming than I am, being exposed to other people's eyes every day and enjoying it... Well, I don't have such a terrible interest."

Milno then pulled me behind her to assert her dominance.

"I'm just here to pick up my lover and take him home."

And then...

"Well?"

She kissed me in front of another version of herself.

Chapter 442 That

(Cerunno)

We returned to the Changkong branch using the wormhole device at the survey center.

"Was there really no need to do that just now?"

After learning about the other Miluno's situation, I couldn't help but complain to Miluno.

"Serno-chan, you're just too kind."

Miss Sirius hugged my waist from behind and lifted my chest with her forearm.

"That guy is our enemy, and there's no need to be merciful to an enemy! Hmm, Seruno-chan is so soft, just like I remember her feeling~"

"Now is the time to discuss serious matters..."

Milno laughed and pushed Sirius aside, asking, "Are you saying that it's immoral to lightly kiss your lover?"

“No, that’s not what I meant... but the other Milno has lost her agent, and that’s a time of sadness for her…”

"She may not be really sad. Maybe it's just a way to gain sympathy. Although I shouldn't say that about my other self, that person isn't that sensitive. Sadness is completely out of character for her."

"Won't Miluno feel sad?"

"At least, I won't show weakness in front of the enemy. Don't forget that we are competitors with her. Everything she says when she's with you is purposeful. Don't let your good temper be taken advantage of."

Sirius tapped the blackboard.

"Alright, alright! Let's talk about serious matters first. Have you prepared a plan for dealing with that little girl unplugging the internet cable?"

"Well, but now is not the time."

Earth Crystal has prepared "that," but we still need to wait for the right moment.

"We'll use it during the next live stream. Even Miluno is resting today..."

"No, she didn't rest."

Miluno held up her phone; it showed her a concert video.

Mono exclaimed, "Wow! She's the kind of person who says she's going to play games, but secretly she's still working hard!"

Time is limited; there are only three days.

It was truly a race against time, and Michelle was risking everything.

"There's no other way but to announce that first."

The counterattack against Michelle is about to officially begin.

------

Miluno works really hard during her live streams.

The longer the live stream, the higher the exposure, and the more acceptable it is to people.

In addition, Michelle's previous little tricks kept Miluno's popularity high. People seemed to have some kind of madness switched on when they saw her, acting completely abnormally.

In comparison, it seems I can't turn the tide with just Barbara's weak potion.

Ultimately, the reason we have always been at a disadvantage and on the defensive in terms of publicity is because "material things and reality" are completely controlled by Michelle.

Just like on the moon, she has countless ways to disconnect us from the internet, disrupt our live streams, and reduce our popularity.

We are helpless in the face of this.

We need our own home turf. Since the Earth Crystal has the power to manage "consciousness", can we make the concept of "network" break away from the attributes of "matter and reality" and realize true online access through thought?

The answer is yes, Earth Crystal is quite good at it.

After all, the brain of Earth Crystal is the result of taking this idea to its extreme.

The Earth Crystal spent an entire day of real time constructing this massive network of consciousness, connecting the consciousness of all humans, witches, monsters, and remnants to it. Of course, this did not merge all consciousnesses into one; it merely allowed people to access another "internet" through their brains.

Mind network.

This is "that" that we prepared to fight against Michelle.

However, this network is still very primitive, lacks an ecosystem, and has few functions, but that doesn't matter, as long as it can be used to watch my live stream, that's enough.

"Hmm, I think I understand."

After we brought Aldebaran to try it out, he nodded and asked, "But how do you plan to get people to accept something so far ahead of its time?"

Miluno said directly, "Just popularize it directly, and let people adapt slowly. We don't have that much time for promotion. We should be firm when necessary."

I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this, but as Milno said, we don’t have that much time to consider everyone’s feelings.

Aldebaran rubbed his cheek, seemingly disapproving of this approach.

"Although everyone is virtual, for unsuspecting people, the idea of ​​surfing the internet in their minds can be both novel and terrifying, and may even lead to the thought that 'my soul is not actually in my body.'"

"What should I do?"

"Just attract people to download the app voluntarily, give them some incentives, and achieve viral marketing!"

"What kind of benefits?"

Bi Su Wu Yi slammed his hand on the table, pointed at me, and said, "As long as you use the mind network, you can watch the high-definition live stream of Seruno taking a bath without any special effects!"

"Huh!?"

Of course I wouldn't agree to that, but Aldebaran's suggestion did give me a lot of inspiration. If people are given a reward, more people will be willing to try it.

So what exactly is this "sweetness"?

Earth Crystal is the most efficient computer and also the most efficient development team, creating a large number of practical applications in seconds.

For example, programs that allow users to appreciate themselves from a third-person perspective; programs that save and replay dreams; programs that organize, edit, and send memories to others; and developer platforms for mind networks.

"Yes, it is indeed quite useful."

Back home, my mom and uncles and aunts also activated their mental networks.

"With these, traditional media will be eliminated sooner or later. Neither mobile phones nor computers can match the performance of the human brain, let alone the brain of a magical girl..."

This is a virtual world where no one has a real body. The carrier of thought is the Earth Crystal. Therefore, from the beginning, the Earth Crystal has incorporated all consciousness into the thought network. The so-called activation and use is just a matter of "double-clicking the icon".

My mom pulled me to sit on the sofa and even took a picture from a third-person perspective using her mind network, which she then sent to me. She has a strong ability to accept new things.

"Has the promotion of this 'mind network' already begun?"

"Yes, we'll know the result when we wake up tomorrow morning."

Not only research and development, but also promotion work has been entrusted to Earth Crystal.

In the past, Earth Crystal rarely intervened in the workings of the world. The pursuit of cruel yet fair natural evolution has always been Earth Crystal's principle of governance.

But right now, this world is one created by Michelle, and it's not even a normal world.

Faced with an unreasonable world, the collective consciousness of Earth Crystals decided to act decisively.

They don't even need to appear in reality; they can complete their promotional tasks simply by communicating with people in their sleep...

There is no more efficient salesperson than this.
