Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Tell a "father" who has just awakened from a long slumber that his daughter chose to end her own life to save his own...

I don't know how to bring this up.

"No need to be so dramatic, just tell her directly."

Miluno's answer was straightforward.

“She’s not that fragile. Even if we tell her directly, she can handle it. The most urgent thing is to find a way to bring Michelle back to life… Does that girl really think she can just abandon the mess and get rid of everything?”

As you descend the spiral staircase, another version of myself with short hair stands there.

"...It seems the person who will explain the situation has arrived."

She put on a pilot's helmet that she had somehow acquired.

"In this new world, you will no longer simply disappear."

"...Speaking of which, this is the first time you've met."

This was their first direct meeting like this. Back in Earth's past, the collective consciousness of the Earth Crystals had been keeping a close eye on her, so they knew a bit about her...

He's someone who looks harmless, but is actually quite clever.

"Hmm, you came out of the Earth Crystal?"

She is me after I became a witch, and our relationship is like that of Milno and Mono...

No, that's not quite right either.

Mono didn't absorb Miluno; he's a half-baked witch.

"How confident are you about the current situation?" Miluno asked directly.

"That child...reversed time and made me vomit."

This agent might be even smarter than me.

"Yes, Michelle chose to sacrifice herself in order to revive you. She has been preparing for this ever since you were absorbed."

"Aren't you going to stop her?" the agent asked, frowning.

"On the surface, she complied and abandoned the plan. But she has never handed over the crucial Morning Star Crystal. And since she is the god who governs the world, we have no way to force her to hand over the crystal..."

Milno explained it this way, but the agent only frowned.

When Michelle thought the time was right, she carried out the plan without even a moment's hesitation.

"Speaking of which, where did the brilliance that ultimately broke the balance come from?" I asked.

Having inherited the throne of God, the omniscient and omnipotent Milno had the answer to this question.

"Yes, at the center of the world."

(Cerunno)

The giant pyramid on the moon was once a vessel of a great will. It was entirely made of crystal, and because its interior is a structure, its volume is even larger than that of Earth's crystal...

That is why it is called the "center of the world".

Using this property, Michelle secretly diverted a portion of the brilliance and hid it there, as a trump card to break the balance and turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Looking back now, this was also her reason for preventing the lunar excavation team from getting close to the center of the world.

Milno sighed, rubbing her forehead, "They went to such lengths to shatter the lunar city and bury it in a crater just to hide this secret, didn't they? We also bear responsibility for not thinking about this more deeply..."

The agent pulled a stool from the nearby ruins, sat down, and asked, "So, do you have a way to bring Michelle back?"

"Um, well, I'm trying..."

Milno looked over as well, and I tried to explain the plan for swarm consciousness to them.

"The idea of ​​'cluster consciousness' is an attempt to revive Michelle through people's beliefs."

"Resurrection through faith? What kind of mythology is this?"

"Isn't she a god? Don't treat her like a little kid! Faith is a directional emotion. As long as you have faith, you won't die or disappear... You should also help. Connect your consciousness to the thought network and give us all your thoughts about Michelle. Maybe we can create a miracle!"

However, the success rate is almost as high as a miracle.

Miluno thought for a moment and asked, "Is the Michelle who was resurrected in this way the same person as the Michelle who disappeared?"

"Of course! God is unique and cannot be replicated, which is why we must resurrect her through this complex method..."

"Let's go back to reality first."

My words did not improve Miluno's mood; her face remained ashen.

The pressure of suddenly becoming a creator god is still too great.

“Serno, if all else fails, I’ll use half of myself to get that girl back… The Morning Star Crystal is here too, I can do the same thing.”

Of course I objected to her saying that.

"No, that would be going in circles again!"

Was it because he absorbed the black rabbit that he changed his mind?

"Miss Terra, how's the 'download' going?"

Miss Terra, who could usually give an instant answer, hesitated for a while this time.

“Not good. Everyone is in a state of chaos upon arriving in the new world and has no time to care about faith. Michelle should have stepped forward to comfort and explain, but she disappeared before that could happen.”

Is it because people's emotions are unstable that they can't download?

"However, witches, strange people, and those ancient peoples are all very adaptable. We can recover some of their information first, and then see if we can get everyone to recall more about Michelle once humanity has calmed down..."

"Miss Terra, how likely is this plan to succeed?"

After another moment of hesitation, Miss Terra replied:

"...Originally, we were supposed to make more thorough preparations, but now we're afraid it's less than 10% complete."

That's too low, it's practically a recipe for failure!

"Now, we absolutely cannot let anyone know that Michelle is dead."

Miss Terra then added, "Keeping it a secret will help maintain your faith; if word gets out, even this little bit of faith will become difficult to sustain."

"I see."

Milno opened a teleportation portal, bringing me and the agent back to the real room.

"Aldebaran, can we entrust the management of the new world to you?"

"Hey, you just got back and you're making me work overtime?!"

Aldebaran protested reluctantly, but Milno responded in a commanding tone: "You are, after all, a thinking unit of the Great Will's past, so stop thinking about retirement all the time. Consider it an atonement for the past and work until you die."

"I will not die. When I want to disappear, I will naturally vanish."

"Great, then I can keep working."

Milno spoke in a manner reminiscent of a street lamp pendant.

"I'm talking about something very serious! You'd better stop learning from Sirius!"

"No joke, I really don't have the confidence to manage the world well, and I can vaguely feel how heavy the burden is on Michelle's shoulders... There is too much information to process, and although it is processed automatically, I still have to go through it in my mind."

Is that why he was willing to sacrifice half of himself to bring Michelle back to continue being the creator?

Thinking about it carefully, maybe that's why that child insisted on sacrificing himself?

Reasons such as preferring to disappear rather than continue fulfilling the duties of a deity.

No, no.

The child did that because he loves his parents, and he is very serious and responsible about his work with the Creator. We shouldn't use such ideas to speculate about the child's motives.

"As long as people believe in Michelle, she can come back..."

While rubbing the dog on the sofa, the mother suggested, "Why don't we build a temple and statue for Michelle in the city? Since there are gods, it's reasonable to establish a religion and collect faith."

"No way, people will definitely throw rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs at me, won't they?"

Because of her previous willful and reckless behavior, that girl has a terrible reputation among people, and those who are dissatisfied need an outlet for their anger. Even if Michelle were a god, she couldn't stop them...

"The statues on the ground won't do, we still have the moon!"

My mother's ingenious idea surprised me.

"what?"

"The side of the moon facing the Earth will never change. Use the power of the gods to carve a relief portrait of Michelle, so that everyone can see it when they look up every night..."

"No, Mom, your idea is a bit too exaggerated."

Turn the moon into a Michelin-style relief or something...

"No, isn't this a great idea?"

Miluno has actually started to seriously consider this possibility?!

"It can be restored at any time, and even if it's only set up for one night, it can still leave a deep impression."

I still tried to dissuade them, saying, "This is too unstable! A world governed by such an unstable god will only make people feel hopeless. Even the best game can't withstand the ruin of a terrible operation... In fact, you can clearly feel the dissatisfaction through the mind network."

The child has put in so much effort for the new world, yet he doesn't receive a good evaluation; he's a bit pitiful.

Even the agent looked at me seriously and advised, "Serno, to achieve a happy ending where everyone survives, risk is necessary. I won't say I'd sacrifice myself to bring Michelle back, but I don't want to overlook any other possibility, even such an absurd plan..."

She was wearing an opaque helmet, but I could imagine her expression.

"Miss Terra, how many apps has Xiaomi Xue 'downloaded'?"

The download progress is the progress of the god's rebirth.

However, Miss Terra's answer was far from optimistic.

"9.6%, but growth has almost stagnated."

Because the download stopped at 10%, it was described as a 10% chance of success...
