Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"That's all, but of course you'll live with your Seruno."

Mom pointed at Serino, then looked at Michelle.

"Who do you want to sleep with?"

Mono and Gouzi are currently sleeping alone, so they could give Michelle a room to each other, since they were roommates before.

If all else fails, we can use the creator's authority to create something out of nothing, even a room that doesn't exist...

However, Michelle doesn't seem to have any intention of doing that.

"I still want to sleep with my mom and dad."

"You're an adult now, it's too crowded for three people to sleep together."

When the black rabbit said that, Michelle, who was pretending to be mature, puffed out her cheeks.

Then, right in front of us, it transformed back into a child.

------

Whether at dinner or afterwards, the family members, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted a lot.

The house has gotten bigger.

But the number of family members has also increased.

Even Kagerou moved in with Gila...

Can't they just buy a normal house themselves?!

Right now, Serino and I are taking a bath.

Only in luxury apartments with a floor-to-ceiling design of 800 square meters would a large bathtub be installed in the bathroom. Because it is a high-rise apartment, the bathroom is also equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows with scenic views, so you can enjoy the city's night view while taking a bath and savor the hard-won peace and tranquility.

Seruno lay by the pool, looking down at the brightly lit New Changkong City.

With her back to me, she asked, "Miluno, what are you planning to do next?"

"Yes, the days of wormhole alarms going off in the middle of the night are over."

"It's time to end this."

"However, the battle is not over yet. I want to clean up the mess left by that false god first."

"Are you going to help Miss Beiluoshimen?"

"Yeah, I can't stay idle."

The region swallowed by darkness has not yet been liberated. Although there are no particularly powerful witches there, it's best to deal with it as soon as possible, just to be on the safe side.

"As expected, Miluno hasn't changed."

Seruno turned around with a wry smile.

"But I have absolutely no desire to have anything to do with this kind of thing anymore."

Are you tired?

It's completely understandable that people who have finally returned to their daily lives don't want to go back to the battlefield.

"It's alright, leave the rest to us."

Hunting witches isn't such a dangerous job; we have enough manpower, and there's no need to force her into battle, but...

"Should you continue being an idol? Or go on to further your studies?"

"Well……"

If you can't answer that, it seems you really haven't thought about it properly.

Holding her soft waist underwater, I could clearly pinch her little belly.

"You've gained weight! You probably haven't left the house much lately, have you? Just playing games at home all day?"

"Haha, stop, stop tickling me!"

Seruno trembled violently in my arms, splashing water everywhere.

The magical girls of the new world not only lost their infinite lifespan, but also their ability to eat whatever they wanted without gaining weight, which meant they wouldn't age.

However, this can also lead to a more toned physique, which isn't a bad thing for disciplined people, but for a lazy guy like Serino...

That was absolutely terrible.

"I won't allow my bride to turn into a pig!"

"No way! I'm going out!"

Selino yelled and angrily climbed out of the bathtub, leaving the bathroom first.

"Then I'll soak for a while longer."

"Everyone needs this, so you'd better hurry up and wash!"

A public bath is not a hot spring, so there's really no need to soak for too long.

I just want to be alone...

Have I really returned from beyond the world?

Is this just some wishful thinking to numb myself?

This sudden happiness feels like a dream.

A Day in the Life of a Witch Hunting Squad

(Miluno)

Although I was the one who was invited, Fomalhaut said, "That's a captain's meeting. Betelgeuse and I will attend. You should go back to Changkong City first."

Unexpectedly, I wasn't the captain, and the chainsaw-wielding magical girl's face flushed slightly.

"Feel sorry……"

"It's okay, you guys drive back."

I'm about to leave work.

I'm about to leave work!

Fomalhaut went to a meeting, and Victorique, Regis, and Maya also left through the wormhole. I was preparing to return to Changkong City when Shui Weiyi said, "Wait, Miluno, can you stay with us a little longer?"

"what?"

"Will you come with us to take her to the treatment facility in Spica?"

Shuiwei and Liuzi were holding the sea otter witch, and although they didn't know why they were asking me to come along, they couldn't refuse.

"Where is that treatment facility? Is it far?"

"In the zodiac."

Hey, forget about going home after get off work, it seems I have to go to the moon!

"Let's go then, and come back as soon as possible."

However, distance in the virtual world is just data and has no real meaning.

However, Michelle made these data quite realistic in order to make it lifelike. The wormhole passage from the Busan branch to the zodiac is a full kilometer long, so much so that we had to ride brooms to travel through the wormhole.

However, we only borrowed two flying brooms.

The sea otter witch was riding on the back of Shuiweiyi's car. She wanted her younger brother but not her lover, so I could only sit on the back of Liuzi's car.

Of course, I can ride the broom, but that guy will take advantage of me, and it's a bit unpleasant to have her hug my waist. At least I feel much more at ease when I sit behind her.

"Speaking of which, why did you ask me to come along?" I asked.

Shui Weiyi is also one of the heads of the treatment institution, so it seems unnecessary for me to come along.

She explained, "There's no particular reason. I just wanted you to see what it's like for a witch to be recovering. Everyone else has been to a treatment facility, but you haven't been even once since you joined the witch hunting squad."

The implication is that they know how the people they capture will be treated.

"Is the treatment method to allow the original personality to manifest through personality fusion?"

It's not about "absorbing" but about "integrating".

"That's right. The witch's personality should be merged with the original personality. If we don't do this, those witches will only have basic intelligence. And it is precisely because they don't have much wisdom that the fusion will not have much impact on the original personality."

The Water Resources Commission's statement was no different from what I had heard.

“But the treatment is too inefficient,” I said.

The occupied areas have developed a sense of community, and the situation is no longer one that we can deal with slowly.

Ryuko explained, "Avalon is trying to replicate Spica's magic using technology, but magic that manipulates consciousness is not so easy to achieve. At this stage, only Spica can do it... If that little goddess doesn't intervene, there is currently no better solution."

"Sigh, don't even think about it."

With Michelle willing to lend a hand, everything can be easily resolved.

The more people wanted Michelle to take action, the more indifferent she became.

After all, she didn't want the people of the new world to become a sheltered civilization that relied on gods for everything, and this was also to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past...

After leaving the wormhole, the zodiac had been mostly repaired, but it was still buried under the moon.

Not only has the main island been partially restored to use, but the six satellite islands have also been used as inpatient wards to house witches who are receiving treatment.

Even so, the number of people she can treat is still limited. If there is no equipment to replace Spica, she will not be able to keep up with treating witches even if she doesn't eat or drink.

The central magical girl monument still stands, and the treatment room is located in the core area below.

Centered around Spica, countless black and white ribbons extend outwards, each ending with a witch bound in a cocoon, filling the entire core chamber and leaving only a narrow path leading to Spica.

"Miss Spica, you really are destined to be a workaholic."

I teased him like that, and only then did the latter reluctantly open his eyes.

"Miluno, you're so interested in coming to see me today?"

"They were pulled over by the Water Committee, who said the witch hunting squad should see what happens to their prey."

"This is the outcome you see. They can only remain in this state until their personalities are fully integrated. Anyway, witches won't die even if they don't eat or drink, so this isn't inconvenient for them."
