Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Even so, I don't really feel it while I'm in reality. We're just waiting, waiting for all consciousness to enter the new world, waiting for the virtual and the real to be fully created, waiting for people to return to their long-lost daily routines...

Right now, only the Creator is busy.

"This creation of the world will last longer than the previous one."

As I muttered this, Aldebaran chimed in, "After all, the previous ones were all simulations. This time, it's a real creation of a world. Even that girl should take it very seriously."

Even Michelle's clones have disappeared.

The tiny Creator is wholeheartedly fulfilling her duties.

But I still feel worried and uneasy...

The Morning Star Crystal is still not in my possession. That girl is really going to do something stupid, and we won't be able to stop her in time. That's why I claimed to have a way to find the agent.

Actually, I wasn't sure if it would work, I just wanted her to have something to look forward to, something to hold onto in order to keep living...

But I forgot that the Great Blood is a cold-blooded machine with virtually no emotional intelligence. If she says no, she means no. She won't even cooperate with me by saying a few lies to fool the children.

"Serno, we need to keep that little girl company."

"I know without you telling me, and that's not just a little girl, that's your daughter."

Serino sat on the sofa with her arms crossed. She didn't seem as uneasy about Michelle as I did about her... or did she have some other thoughts?

"We should have a good talk while that girl is away."

I shared my thoughts.

"Do you have any way to prevent her from continuing... uh, committing suicide?"

Previously, she had asked the cluster network of Earth consciousness for help in finding a solution. With so many carefully selected brilliant minds, there are bound to be more solutions than Michelle herself.

Although that girl claimed to have conducted hundreds of millions of simulations, if it were handed over to Earth Crystal, the unit of measurement might have to be changed to trillions or kilometres.

The collective consciousness collected from ancient times to the present is still more efficient than Michelle's "newborn brain," at least in terms of experience.

"Hmph, I've almost calmed down now."

Seruno stood up with her hands on her hips and waved at me.

"follow me!"

So she was angry with me before? But why?

Follow Seruno into the first room, which is the room of the Earth Crystal.

"Let's talk here~ Although that girl is busy creating the world, there's still a possibility of her eavesdropping, but here she can't eavesdrop or watch."

The surrounding area was filled with the radiance of Earth Crystal, and this reality was clearly under the control of Earth Crystal. If Michelle wanted to eavesdrop, she could only send a clone over.

"So, what do you want to say?"

I leaned against the hibernation pod, and Seruno walked around me with her hands behind her back. Her fluffy, soft pink hair was quite bouncy and bounced up and down with her steps.

"We do have an idea, but it's still being verified."

She smiled at me with narrowed eyes and asked, "But I can't tell you yet, I can only give you a hint... Miss Terra and I have been encouraging Michelle to confront the public directly, and even let her access the mind network... Why do you think that is?"

"Isn't this to brainstorm ideas, broaden her thinking, and incidentally make her presence felt so that everyone is mentally prepared?"

"Do not……"

Seruno shrugged and shook her head.

"Ordinary people, including you and me, find it difficult to come up with better solutions. Our cognition has its limits, while the realm of God is much broader."

"I know I'm just a mortal, there's no need to emphasize that."

That's all for the hints. Please analyze the details yourself, or stay tuned!

"Oh, are you going to be a riddle solver too?"

"This is also to avoid letting the child find out, and to give her a surprise?"

I hope it's a real surprise; I don't want Michelle to disappear after creating the world.

She was much more mature than she appeared, and had always carried an excessive sense of responsibility and guilt for eating her parents. Her mental state was definitely not as lively as she seemed...

That's right, that innocent and lively demeanor is just a mask to lull us into a false sense of security.

As long as she's still wearing the mask, I can't feel at ease. This is the source of my inner unease, and also a warning left by my darker self.

“At least you’re still considering the plan, instead of rejecting it outright like the Blood of the Great.”

I put my arm around Serino's shoulder.

"Let's go back. I'm still waiting to see the new world."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

With the world now created, Michelle's work has come to an end, and she's back here to rest.

Using the unique features of the second room, the view of the new world is projected onto the walls and floor, allowing one to overlook the new world from an imperial perspective.

The ocean, forests, mountains, and grasslands are more pristine than I imagined.

Human cities still exist, each corresponding to an original Earth city, but the distance between cities is much greater than in the past.

It's as if the whole world has expanded.

Seruno explained, "This is a world that is one-third larger than Earth. Because it is virtual, we can squander the land as we please, and the biological environment is more complex... But in contrast, the real space is not so abundant."

The new world is still an illusion, but the dreams of the gods are considered reality to humans; it is a virtual world that ordinary people cannot see through.

"Do we still have to rely on breeding centers to have children these days?" I asked.

Michelle waved her hand and replied, "No, the breeding center's system has been abandoned! In other words, it's reproductive freedom!"

Has the era of being able to get a child simply by registering for marriage ended?

Although it never even started...

Because the virtual world has a large enough capacity, there is no need to limit the population, but the number of people who can go to the real world is still limited, which will be the privilege and obligation of the elite.

Seruno asked, "Does that mean people have gone back to being ordinary people from magical girls? Then it's no different from Earth, right?"

"No, we're all still magical girls. Reproductive freedom doesn't necessarily mean we need to distinguish between genders, but Michelle has given everyone a chance to choose~"

Michelle stood with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"what do you mean……"

I tried to organize my thoughts.

"Those who want to turn back into men will have the chance to do so... and then, magical girls can have children with each other normally?"

Although there are differences between magical girls and normal women, they are still women with female physiological structure. If they were to have children, who would carry the pregnancy?

Some people will definitely revert back, but the number should be small...

"Isn't this great? Let go of outdated ideas, times have changed!"

Clearly, Seruno is the one who doesn't want to turn back.

She leaned close to my ear and whispered something.

"Miluno, would you like to give Michelle another little sister?"

...This girl isn't my child either, is she?

Chapter 486 Transfer

(Miluno)

The consciousnesses preserved within the Earth's crystal are gradually transferring to the new world, returning to unfamiliar cities. People are in chaos due to the enormous changes, and this chaos will continue for some time until social order is re-established.

Putting aside other issues, questions like which house belongs to whom, how to rebuild the monetary system, and many other aspects need to be reconsidered.

"The situation on the human side is too chaotic."

Michelle seemed disappointed by people's reactions.

"I feel no anticipation for a better new life at all!"

"To many people, you are the culprit who robbed them of their wonderful new lives, aren't you?"

"Let's not look at the city, let's go check out the situation outside the city!"

"Outside the city?"

As Michelle spoke, she shifted the camera's perspective from New Changkong City to the primeval forest in the south of the city.

The new world and Earth may look similar at first glance, but in reality, they are completely different in terms of ecology.

"Hey, what are those animals... no, can they even be considered animals?!"

In the forest, half-human, half-snake lolis are hunting mice in a social group. These "little Lamia" are small in size, but their hunting skills are sharp, retaining their wildness, and they are dressed like humans.

"Ahem, let me introduce you."

Michelle cleared her throat, zoomed in on the projected image on the floor, and solemnly introduced: "These animal lolis are the final solution for animal magical girls, allowing them to follow in the footsteps of humans and evolve on their own in the wild. This is also why the new world is so much larger than Earth."

Hey, Michelle has turned all the animals that were once human into "kemono girls".

"Have you created a new ecological niche between humans and animals?" I asked.

"No, they will eventually become magical girls and integrate into our society. The wild form you see is just a transition."

Michelle shook her head and continued to explain, "Although they are not yet ready, Sister Antarctic Star has planted the seeds of common sense in them. They also have the potential to evolve into humans, and when the time comes, they can be accepted into society as magical girls."

She hasn't given up on her plan to turn animal magical girls into humans.

"Back then, the number of plants and animals you implanted into magical girls' bodies was probably as many as the number of humans are now, right? Even if there was a surplus in terms of capacity..."

A population doubling without warning is an ill-considered plan.

Michelle asked, "Does Auntie think that these animals who have experienced being magical girls should be allowed to revert to their former animal forms?"

I did not deny this.

"That's right, that's the best."

When I said that, Michelle retorted, "Don't you think that's too cruel? There's no harm in keeping them around! Increasing the population base will allow us to gather more emotions. As long as the ecosystem is stable, once they learn about emotions and integrate into society, they'll be no different from everyone else!"

Michelle was not trying to cover up her mistakes.
