Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Miluno! And everyone else!"

Seruno, who had temporarily returned to Earth Crystal, brought back good news.

"Success! Michelle's 'download' progress is 103%, it's met!"

"...It actually worked at the beginning of that month?"

A divinely inspired work of art, the colossal Michelle head sculpture hung in the sky for 24 hours, and through people's malice and discontent, it actually gathered enough faith to resurrect Michelle...

"Really? It's that simple?"

That child was actually resurrected through malice.

There's even an extra 3%. Could it be that if things go even better, we can summon two Michelles?

"Maliciousness actually brings better results? Is that really considered faith?"

Although she herself came from the mud, it's still heartbreaking to see her face like this...

"Then hurry up and bring her out."

Seruno clapped her hands when the agent said that.

"Then, open the passage inside the Earth's crystal."

The second room unleashed a wormhole halo.

Then, a large amount of darkness, like cement poured out of a concrete mixer truck, flowed everywhere. I hurriedly conjured a large swimming pool to collect it, picked up Barbara and the dog and left, then watched Mono being washed away by the black mud.

"Darkness? You actually collected this from Earth's crystal...aren't you afraid of annihilation?"

"Hehe, with my magic, it's very simple to isolate a region inside the Earth's crystal to preserve this~"

Seruno tilted her head back and wiped her nose, looking excited and smug.

He even squatted down by the pool and used a thin twig to pok at the churning black mud.

"Michelle, it's time to get up!"

Is this an act of waking someone up?

However, this massive amount of black mud did begin to condense, compress, and gradually emerge in the shape of a human.

That was indeed Michelle, the Michelle who had been reborn from people's faith had returned.

"It actually works?" Even the agent was surprised.

The gods, whose existence is a manifestation of people's faith, gradually develop colors on their bodies, including the black skin and white fur characteristic of great offspring, and...

"Serno! Watch out!"

The barrier created by the agent blocked the sharp knife that Michelle's arm had transformed into.

Then, the barrier that had been pierced disappeared.

Seruno snapped out of her daze and erected her own defensive bubble, protecting Yuehan, Mono, Gouzi, and Barbara all inside.

"Attacked? Why? Why?" She didn't understand.

The newborn Michelle's eyes lacked any sparkle, yet she was highly aggressive.

"Be careful, this guy only has Michelle's appearance."

It's just like when Michelle wasn't Michelle before...

That ferocious beast that burst forth from the dark seal.

"Miluno, watch out! She's coming towards you!"

"Small idea."

The newborn Michelle was indeed dangerous, but I am now a god, and for her to challenge me, no matter what she is, is simply overestimating herself.

Turning their arms into sharp blades is a common attack method used by shadow soldiers.

The "Michelle" blade has an even more flamboyant design, with increased length and curvature, and serrated dog teeth on the blade, so that being cut by it will definitely cause bleeding and excruciating pain.

That's all, I'm already tired of seeing that.

The crystallized body took the blow head-on without leaving a single mark on its surface, and then pinned the rude, crazy girl to the ground.

Then, the combined magic of the agent and Seruno completely sealed her off.

They managed to take it down without any major incident, but the problem is not yet solved.

“Serno, is she really Michelle?” I asked.

Seruno hesitated when asked this question, clearly unsure herself.

"Um, the concept of swarm consciousness is still under discussion; it originated from people's beliefs..."

To this, I corrected her, saying, "No, she was born from people's malice toward Michelle, though there was a little genuine longing and faith mixed in, but it was nothing compared to malice."

Michelle was indeed born from darkness, but not all black mud can be used to form Michelle.

"...It didn't go as smoothly as expected."

Seruno seemed to realize she had failed, and I looked at the agent.

"So, what's your opinion?"

"As we just discussed, let's find Michelle first."

"...I understand what you mean, but I can't interfere with the darkness of the Great Will."

The third room was filled with darkness in that large pit. Since I was the dominant consciousness now, things were relatively calm there, with only occasional bubbling sounds.

According to the agent's speculation, the real Michelle (in her initial form) is soaking at the bottom of the pit.

However, as the spokesperson for Radiant Face, I obviously can't go there...

Of course, Seruno won't work either.

"Let me go."

The agent pointed to himself.

"I'm still a witch, I'll just go in."

------

At the edge of the pit, an agent, who had somehow changed into a diving suit, was doing warm-up exercises, her shameless chest swaying back and forth during the pointless movements.

"Jumping in is just entering a dark ocean of consciousness, not actually swimming in it."

"I'm doing this to find my daughter's father, so of course I have to put in the effort."

Is this considered a sign of being motivated?

"Is everything alright?" Seruno asked in a low voice.

"No problem! Low concentrations of darkness are just a supplement for me; I can use bubbles to separate out excess. If Michelle remembers me, she'll come closer to me on her own..."

No, even if I don't remember, you'll still come closer to me on your own, okay!

Wasn't Michelle originally a very aggressive wild beast?

"If we get attacked," "Then I'll set off."

As the agent spoke, he slid down the slope into the black mud at the bottom.

"An agent is a bit like crispy pork that's been slid into a deep-fried pan."

Seruno's reaction was a bit frightening.

"What did Miss Terra say? Was the one sealed away not Michelle after all?"

"No, the collective consciousness doesn't think its theory is wrong; they believe that it is Michelle resurrected from faith..."

The people on Earth Crystal's side are all unreliable.

"Huh? What's been resurrected? And what are we fishing for?"

Just as he said this, the thick darkness at the bottom of the pit began to bubble and pop.

"It seems the fish has taken the bait."

Faster than expected, the agent found something amidst the chaos...

splat—

The agent, covered in black mud, crawled out from the bottom of the pit.

But in her lower body...

Another shadow was tugging at her legs?

Chapter 491 The Real and Fake Michelle

(Miluno)

"This is the real Michelle?"

The human figure made of black mud had no color or clear outline; it was just a dark silhouette and bore no resemblance to Michelle.

Neither its appearance nor its aggressiveness can compare to the imposter that Seruno poured out.

The agent had a great deal of effort before he managed to pull the lump out of the center of the pit.

"Phew! If I'm not mistaken, this is Michelle, who is still growing. Without absorbing us as pillars, she can't turn back into the original her..."

Seruno rested her chin on her hand in thought, then asked, "Could the one next door become a pillar?"

She was referring to the imposter, but how could she let Michelle eat something so dubious?

"No, no, no, that kind of thing will give you diarrhea, right? Why don't we let Azula take care of them first... Look, they look pretty much the same, don't they?"

I waved my hand in denial, but Serino continued, "Even if education can turn her back into Michelle, will her memories... still be there?"

Since time has been reversed, they must no longer exist.

That's what I was thinking, but Aldebaran interrupted: "Theoretically, it can be restored. According to the rules, the consciousness of a god is unique and cannot be arbitrarily altered..."

"Professor Aldebaran, I don't quite understand. Could you please explain it in a simpler and easier-to-understand way?"

I raised my hand to suggest, and Aldebaran thought for a moment and replied, "In terms you can understand, it's roughly a system file that requires administrator privileges to delete. Although she's not an administrator now and doesn't have the privileges, it's still a system file in terms of specifications, and only Milno in her current state can delete it."
