Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Reminded by me, Seruno took out her phone.

"Then I'll call Miss Lu'er."

I instructed, "Don't mention the UI-31. Just say you want to see Metal and get her contact information so we can talk to her in person."

"Oh, okay! I remember Miss Metal said she has a shop in the D4 area, and that we're welcome to visit... but I don't know which shop it is?"

Seruno muttered to herself as she walked out of the bubble, phone in hand.

Actually, I had a vague idea of ​​where Metal usually hung out.

After the battle with the Mermaid Witch, it wasn't the first time I'd seen Metal. I'd seen her once before, when I first became a magical girl, and I'd most likely seen her before she transformed...

I looked down at the werewolf.

He had finished eating the cold noodles and was looking up at me, probably trying to figure out who I was.

"Open your mask so I can see."

"Ow..."

The visor flipped up, revealing a face that resembled mine.

"Can't you just use telekinesis to grab something off the street?"

He reached behind him and pulled out a wig.

"...I'll go get it for you."

I stepped out of the bubble and said to Seruno, who was on the phone, "I'm going to buy some more food."

"Oh!"

------

The riverside path was quite lively, no less bustling than a long-established night market, attracting many locals who came specifically for it. I transformed into Miluno in the shadows between the bridge piers, climbed back over the railing, and then hurried through the crowd...

Another characteristic of the evolved Star Crystal is that I can break through thirty times the speed using only my physical body without the support of Seruno's magic.

Although I didn't inherit Xiaoyi's magic, I did become stronger.

But which one should you choose?

In the accelerated world, I'm looking for a good-looking guy for UI-31. That guy has a lean physique, so a face that's too strong won't suit him. A handsome, capable guy would be better... Got it.

Like a gust of wind sweeping through the night market, I brushed a stray hair from a clean-cut man's shoulder before queuing up at a stall to buy hot dry noodles.

"Oh! You must be Miss Miluno!"

The smiling middle-aged woman who ran the stall actually recognized me. Although I'm unknown worldwide, I'm still quite famous in this D3 area!

"Ah hello."

Although she was secretly very happy, she only showed this level of reaction on the surface.

As the older woman mixed her hot dry noodles, the older man behind me in line said, "Many magical girls from other cities have come to Changkong City recently, but we haven't seen you fight. We were worried something had happened to you."

Those were all personnel transferred here to hunt down UI-31, but they ended up taking over the work of the local magical girls. From the perspective of the citizens, they also felt a sense of antagonism. They hoped that the "local magical girls" could defeat the "foreign magical girls," but magical girls can't fight each other, so the result was a competition to see which side could kill more monsters.

Are you worried about me?

The old man, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, replied, "You are the rising star of our D3 region."

"Thank you everyone, but I'm fine. I'll step in if there are any strange people that others can't handle."

"Miss Miluno is very confident. Here's your noodles, no need to pay. You can eat whatever you want on this street without paying."

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Refusing this bowl of hot dry noodles would only upset the old lady, but I don't plan to browse the other stalls either. It would be troublesome if I caused a commotion and Seruno noticed.

I carried the noodles and quickly left the riverbank, then circled around and returned to the bubble from the other side of the bridge arch.

Of course, it has changed back.

"Ye Zi, I found Miss Metal's hideout! She told us to go to area C4... Why isn't your hot dry noodles hot at all?"

Because of the sprint, the hot dry noodles had gone cold.

However, I still tossed the plastic bowl to ui-31. Of course, the noodles still had some of that passerby's hair mixed in, and ui-31 wolfed them down.

"So, where is Metal?"

"Here."

Serono used an address to start navigation, which appeared to be an old factory area.

Surprisingly, it wasn't that clothing store?

"Mr. UI-31, could you please deactivate your armor? We can't get a taxi dressed like that..."

"Ow."

He wiped his mouth... actually, he was wiping the peanut butter off his mask.

Immediately, the wolf-shaped armor was completely absorbed by the unique mimicry factor in its chest.

Wow... I didn't know you looked so...

Seruno was dumbfounded, and I was also somewhat stunned.

"A handsome young man?"

To be precise, it's feminine.

Who would have thought that the stray hairs on the shoulders of that ordinary office worker weren't actually their own?

Is she a girlfriend? Or a wife? Or perhaps a mistress?

Thinking about all this is pointless. At this moment, ui-31 has an unusually delicate female face, but with messy, tousled hair, and his body is still that of a muscular, strong man. These elements seem out of place on one person.

Moreover, it left an impression on Serino, making it inconvenient to replace her later.

“ui-31…No, Mr. Liu, please put on some clothes first.”

"He doesn't have any clothes, he's not some magical girl who carries a wardrobe with her."

She had clothes on when she was on the island, but now she's only wearing underwear.

What's going on? Did this person have exhibitionism before being modified?

"That……"

Seruno took out several unisex women's clothes from her Star Crystal.

"...You can use this for now."

"Well--"

ui-31 looked rather unwilling.

Chapter Seventeen: Metall and the Steel Dragon Workshop

(Sun Yao)

"We've arrived. Please stop here, thank you, driver."

After paying the fare, I got out of the taxi.

Werewolf... Mr. Liu was wearing my ill-fitting clothes, hunched over, and looked really bad, like a pervert. No wonder the usually talkative taxi driver from Changkong City didn't dare to talk to us the whole way; he must have thought we were a strange group.

But this was a last resort. If he were to get on the bus wearing only shorts, the driver might refuse to take him or drive him to the police station.

Standing in front of Metall's small factory, Ye Zi sighed and rubbed her forehead, "You two go in first, I'll go take a look around... at least get this guy a decent-looking set of men's clothing."

"Ow!"

Is that a roar of gratitude?

It looks a bit like a dog.

"There are factories all around here, where are you going to buy clothes?"

"Idiot, factories need workers, workers need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, and they also need to wear clothes, so there will definitely be stores."

Ye Zi said this and walked away without looking back, and the Golden Ship followed.

Before it left, it kept covering its dark nose with its paws, seemingly disliking the "oil and steel" smell of the factory.

bang bang-

Since I couldn't find the doorbell, I knocked on the factory's roller shutter door.

It wasn't very big, and it looked like a small auto repair shop. You could smell the metal and diesel fumes even through the door, which was quite in line with the impression Miss Metal's magic gave people.

However, I remember her battle outfit was a Japanese JK uniform?

Wearing those clothes while working in here, it's hard not to get them dirty...

"Hey, over here!"

Just then, a woman in overalls popped out from the side of the factory. Her hair was simply tied up, and her body and face were dirty. I had a feeling that she was hiding a wrench behind her.

She has a very ordinary appearance; she might not even be a beauty before transforming into a magical girl.

Like me, I'm not even a woman.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Metal? I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."

The woman in work clothes panicked and said, "Shh! Silly girl, don't call my name outside! You don't want to be exposed, and neither do I!"

"Oh? Oh, I'm sorry!"

It seems to be me, but I did indeed misspoke.

"Come this way, the main gate is usually closed, just walk to the side!"

Since people walk on the side.

In other words, what big stuff is hidden in Metall's small factory that needs to go out through this roller shutter door?

The narrow alleyway on one side is against a wall, and the location of this side door is indeed quite inconspicuous. However, the interior space is larger than expected, and even a bit crowded.

Miss Metal closed the door.

The factory was a bit stuffy, but there was a small room with air conditioning, a clean bed, and a simple wardrobe. This must be Miss Metal's... bedroom?
