Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

A wisp of "white cloud" blocked our view.

The black, ruffled skirt was actually stuffed with pure white tulle, blocking my path of further exploration.

This is even worse than safety shorts. At least with safety shorts, you can see the shape of your legs, but this skirt completely covers them up.

From a safety perspective, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

At least it greatly reduces the risk of wardrobe malfunctions. As a man, I don't want to give weirdos or other people's eyes a taste of ice cream, whether for personal or professional reasons. Anyway, if I want to see, I just need to take off the whole skirt!

Once you understand this, the snow-white tulle skirt isn't so bad anymore.

My hands began to fumble for the zipper on the side of the ruffled skirt, just as I was about to take it off...

The doorbell rang in the entryway.

Who's being such a spoilsport so early in the morning... Oh no, it's Yao!

Thinking about my good brother's hobby, I immediately lost my interest in self-exploration, let alone the idea of ​​making my brother feel good.

Why, you ask?

Because he's a huge fan of magical girls.

If he finds out I've become a magical girl, the consequences are terrifying to even think about.

2. Milno's New Clothes

The doorbell kept ringing, and the phone on the table kept vibrating and ringing. Hearing this, Ayao must know I was inside. If I didn't open the door, it would only make him anxious.

He was in a hurry.

I'm anxious too.

I was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing how to retrieve this Star Crystal.

puff-

The dark golden star crystal popped out of my chest, and I returned to my original form, including wearing the clothes I had before the transformation.

"Great!"

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Transforming and de-transforming are like putting on clothes; there's a trick to it, and if you succeed once, you can succeed a second time.

"Don't worry, it's coming!"

But now is not the time to talk about that. I put the Star Crystal in my pocket, ran to the entrance to open the door, and then dragged my silly brother into the house.

"Why are you ringing the doorbell so urgently? I'm in the toilet."

Ayao peeked into the room and asked, "You don't bring your phone when you're on the toilet?"

"Idiot, taking your phone to the toilet will give you hemorrhoids... It's a rare weekend, what urgent matter do you have that brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Hmph! Don't be surprised!"

Although he was keeping me in suspense, I really don't know what could be more surprising than personally becoming a magical girl.

He pulled out a large, octagonal box from behind him.

A new game console.

It was just released last month, and the price has been driven up by unscrupulous merchants to an extremely high level. However, Ah Yao is very rich, and he can afford to buy it even if the scalpers double the price.

Ta-da! Want to play this?

He plans to use my TV to play.

If this had happened yesterday, I would definitely have been very interested.

Unfortunately, Yao, I have something more fun than game consoles now, and I need to study it by myself.

"No, I have something to do today, I need to go out in a bit."

"Oh? Are you going out?"

He seemed a little disappointed...or rather, dissatisfied?

"You play by yourself for now, I'll definitely come before dinner, okay?"

"If that's what you say, then that's the only way."

After calming Ayao down, I took my wallet and went out.

What are we going to do?

Of course, I'm buying clothes!

The battle suit isn't bad-looking, but what's that skirt? Who wears a short skirt stuffed with gauze underneath? It's utterly devoid of any manly dreams! Are those lantern pants? I'm not a child anymore!

It's early spring, the most comfortable season of the year. The weather is cool and pleasant, and flowers are blooming everywhere. Even the Samoyed downstairs is unusually energetic. It barks at me as soon as it sees me, and it might have rushed up and pounced on me if its owner hadn't been holding it back.

It's not that it's fierce, it's that it's affectionate.

I'm quite popular with dogs, I don't know why.

"Hmph~ Hmm~"

Leaving the apartment, I rushed into the rarely used public restroom in the park, fused with the Star Crystal, and transformed back into a magical girl. The restroom inevitably had a bit of a smell, and I had no interest in observing myself in such a place, so I activated my speed magic to escape and head to the commercial street in the C4 area.

Okay, I'll run over there!

My goal for going out today is very clear: to buy clothes. As for what type of clothes to buy, I'll decide when I get to the store, since I really have no idea about women's clothing.

However, it might cost you some money today.

Women's clothes are more expensive. For the same type of clothing, women's clothing is about 30% to 50% more expensive, even though it uses less fabric than men's clothing. It's really unbelievable.

The mall was bustling on the weekend, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic. But strangely, this enthusiasm didn't seem to extend to me. Other customers were served by the staff, but I was the only one ignored...

I'd also like to ask what style of clothing suits me best.

"that……"

"Ah! Yes... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Fortunately, when I spoke to the staff, they responded.

"I'd like to ask you to recommend a few clothes."

"Huh?" The shop assistant looked surprised.

"what happened?"

"Miss, you seem to know how to dress well."

So that's how it is. My aura... no... my aura after transformation is too "aloof" to the point that even the shop assistants don't dare to approach me rashly.

However, this is all just an illusion.

I sighed and replied, "No, that's not true. This is the first time I've ever gone out to buy clothes by myself."

"The person who picked out the clothes for you before had great taste... What style do you want? Is it for this season? Or summer clothes?"

"I don't know much about the styles, so I'll just pick a few summer clothes."

Springtime in Changkong City is very short.

Within a month at most, the temperature will rise to an uncomfortable level.

"How about this... a sleeveless version of a shirt like the one you're wearing?"

She picked up a sleeveless shirt and paired it with a dark red short tie, which did indeed match very well.

"Can I try?"

"Of course, the locker room is there."

I believed I hadn't given anything away, so I took the clothes and went into the changing room.

"call--"

Even though it's my own body, I still took a deep breath before unbuttoning it.

The combat outfit is paired with a black front-buttoned undershirt. If the shirt gets wet, it's likely to show through easily, right?

But... she really is petite?

It was only through the effect of the underwear that a valley was barely formed.

"After all, she's a magical 'girl,' maybe it's because I haven't developed yet..."

This is somewhat self-deception.

After all, it's a well-established fact that magical girls' physical age doesn't increase... In other words, this is how my life will be.

Regret.

It's not a particularly regrettable situation.

Having large breasts can be a lot of trouble, but at least I have some flexibility.

I intended to hang the battle suit jacket on the clothes rack in the changing room, but it disappeared on its own, stored inside the Star Crystal just like the short sword. What a convenient feature!

To make it easier for magical girls to conceal their identities, this one-click outfit-changing function is almost a standard feature of every Star Crystal.

"In that case..."

I also put the sleeveless shirt the shop assistant gave me into the Star Crystal, and then put it on directly through the crystal.

"...Indeed, it's so convenient."

The tie was also tied to the collar in the same way, and it was tied very neatly.

I struck a few poses in front of the mirror, and they did look great, but they weren't much different from my usual tie-up shirt and short-sleeved shirt combination. I'd like to try a different style.

So I returned the clothes and went into the next store.

The store was quiet. Compared to other shops, the young store manager seemed unwilling to actively solicit customers. Customers could simply take whatever they wanted and pay. The casual way of running the store made it seem as if opening the store was just a way to experience life.

However, I still made a request to her.

"I see. Want to try a different style?"

She pulled a black sailor suit from under the counter.
