Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Because she has black hair, I never thought of this possibility. I didn't expect her to be of Japanese descent. Doesn't that make her just like Ms. Namie Kawanami?

However, magical girls are found all over the world, so it's not surprising.

"I learned Chinese from the local Chinese in Hawaii. By the way, my native language is English, and the language I learned the worst is Japanese."

You call yourself a Japanese?

"Oh, right, besides the local products, there's also the beef brisket curry from last night. It was so delicious that I wanted to bring you a serving too."

I took out the insulated lunchbox.

"...Would you like some?"

"I want to eat. The meals in the ward are always the same few dishes, and I'm getting tired of them. It's good to change things up, but I'm very picky about the taste of curry!"

Surprisingly, I was quite interested.

She pressed a button by the bed, and the bed board behind her rose up, supporting her to sit up. Then, she pulled out a bedside table from under the bed.

"It's still hot, do you want to eat it now?"

"Let's eat this, consider it brunch!"

She used her only functional right hand to take the spoon and put a piece of thoroughly cooked beef brisket into her mouth.

"Your cooking skills are pretty good!"

A rare compliment from Ms. Kagerou...

But it wasn't for me.

"Actually, it was my friend who made it."

Chapter Six: Miss Yangyan is Unhappy

(Sun Yao)

"I'm back~"

Aunt Linxi bounced back from outside the door, and if she hadn't been wearing a tight skirt that made it difficult to move, she might have wanted to dance a part of Swan Lake.

"Oh, you've already started eating? Perfect, I've also found out some things here, so let's eat while you listen to my conclusions."

Yang Yan ate in silence, while I nodded.

The aunt continued, "The additional tests for Xiaoyangyan are indeed suspicious. There are two main points of suspicion so far!"

She was very excited.

After all, Aunt Rinki's job is to investigate such "irrationality".

"First of all, these inspection items were requested by Chairman Sun Ji... that is, A Yao's father, but it is not clear whether it was his own idea. All we know is that it was Secretary-General An Jie who conveyed the request."

If it's Miss Anjie's request, then it must be my father's idea. That secretary is completely obedient to my father.

"The association president, who never interferes in internal affairs, suddenly needs the examination data of a magical girl. This is quite strange. If no one forged the identification, then your father might have some problems."

I don't know how to respond to this. I know too little about my father's situation, so I can't offer any opinions.

"This is indeed a point of suspicion."

Yang Yan glanced at me and pressed, "What about the second point of doubt?"

"Previous examinations have also collected data on the star crystals in your body multiple times."

Yang Yan frowned at his aunt's words.

"My Star Crystal?"

“That’s right, they are investigating your Star Crystal, which is of no help to your recovery. But that’s not the second point of suspicion I want to make.”

"Then specifically..."

"The problem is that the people who were responsible for checking you all came from a third-party research institution. Normally, people from such external institutions are not allowed to enter here, but this time Ayao's dad gave them the green light."

"Dad allowed outsiders into the association's medical facilities?"

Auntie crossed her arms and laughed, "While it can't be called dereliction of duty, it's still against common sense... I just wanted to see what kind of girl Ayao liked, but I didn't expect to dig up such an incredible clue."

Is there any danger associated with yin-yang (heat stroke)?

Auntie shook her head.

"Without understanding the whole story, no one can say for sure. However, she is still in a treatment facility under the association, so she shouldn't be in any danger. I will investigate this matter. As for your father... let's not alert him yet."

"Thank you for your help."

"Hmph! I never thought I'd catch the association chairman red-handed. I'm so excited!"

A flame ignited in her aunt's eyes, and she said, "Xiao Yangyan, if those people come to examine you again, call me before they start, and stall for time so I can follow up with them afterwards."

Yang Yan nodded honestly.

If everything her aunt said is true, then this matter concerns her own safety, and she dares not be careless.

"So what can I do now?" I asked.

"There's nothing that you need to do, Ayao. Just visiting her more often is better than anything else."

Yang Yan hurriedly said, "Hmph, who wants her to come see me!"

"Little Yangyan must be lonely, right? No one's family can come in, and you're lying in bed all day. I've seen the visitation records, you know? During this time, only that liaison officer named Yin Lu will come to visit you. You might have to stay in bed for another half a month..."

Aunt Linxi made Yangyan sound a bit pitiful, but the latter still insisted, "It's not that I don't have friends, it's just that they're all not in Changkong City..."

The haughty Miss Turkey lowered her head.

"Never mind, it'll be good for you to come and keep me company."

I quickly replied, "Yes! I come every day!"

"...No, it doesn't need to go that far."

Seemingly satisfied with the result, Aunt Linxi stretched.

"I should probably go upstairs now, otherwise Old Ye will start urging me. Ah Yao, you can stay here a little longer. We'll take you home this afternoon."

"okay."

“ciao~”

Aunt Rinki has passed away.

The quiet ward was now empty except for me and Ms. Yangyan. She had finished her curry rice, so I put the insulated lunchbox away.

"Serno, what does your father want to do by examining my Star Crystal? Don't you have any clue?"

As expected, I was asked that question.

"...I went to see him yesterday with Miss Spica, hoping to persuade him to support Miss Spica's plan, but I was unsuccessful."

"Look at how pathetic you are, you probably can't even speak up in front of your father."

"...I probably know less about him than Miss Spica does."

Yangyan rolled her eyes at me.

"Come sit here."

She pointed to the chair next to the bed.

"Come closer so I can vent my anger."

I obediently did as she said, sat down on the edge of the bed, and then leaned my face in. She reached out her right hand and pinched my cheek with a lot of force, which hurt a little.

They're using me as a stress-relieving toy.

However, I owe her a life, so I can tolerate this much, and I must tolerate it.

She rubbed a layer of foundation off my face, and she seemed extremely surprised and delighted.

"Huh? You can do makeup now! You've improved a lot lately, you're becoming more like a girl!"

"Thanks……"

Is becoming more feminine a compliment?

"Not bad, not bad, you're teachable. So, are you still planning to change back?"

"Um……"

As soon as I nodded, she became unhappy again.

I had this feeling before: Kagerou really liked me as "Serno" and even hoped that I would stay like this forever.

Although, according to my aunt, it wasn't impossible, but...

I whispered my confession: "Actually, someone said she likes me. She said she would wait for the day I turn back to normal before confessing to my male self."

"Huh? Confessing? To you?"

Yang Yan stared in astonishment, then burst into a tirade: "Who's so blind as to turn down such a beautiful, big-breasted girl and choose a fat otaku instead?"

The only part of my body that could move, my right hand, was still pulling at my face, making it impossible for me to speak.

"No way! Take me to see her after I'm discharged from the hospital! Girls can be together too! There are still girls with such stubborn ideas these days!"

Yang Yan's irritability confirmed my suspicions.

Shocking! The famous demolition expert, street destroyer, and enraged Flame Dragon of Changkong City... is actually a true yuri?

No wonder she was so tolerant of me, who was Seruno. Even when I revealed my identity, she didn't show any obvious disgust, only occasionally scolding me.

Snapped--

She let go, and her bouncy cheeks taut against my face.

I covered my slightly swollen face and replied, "Actually, she's a magical girl too."

Let's not tell Kagero yet that it's Miluno waiting for me...

“…Miluno?”

You guessed it right away?!

I hurriedly denied it.
