Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

But this is also a delaying tactic.

The Star Crystal of Blazing Sun, that sun-like topaz, is about to completely merge into Mother's body...

I should have stopped it, but I didn't know how.

"Cerunno, give me the protective shield! The strongest one possible!"

Milno's Roar.

This was the first time I had ever heard her shout so loudly.

"Oh!"

I raised my staff and mobilized my magic to the maximum extent to create a thick layer of bubble film.

At this moment, the evacuation alarm sounded in area B2. Was it Auntie who contacted the airship?

A giant holographic beacon appeared above the private clinic.

With this signal, all of Miluno's afterimages disappeared.

Although Fomalhaut was also very fast, he was always within my sight. He couldn't possibly match Miluno's speed, could he?

however……

The one who was sent flying was Miluno, accompanied by icy water vapor.

"Speed alone is not enough. Your will is too sharp, and you do not know how to conceal your edge. You cannot become a powerful swordsman."

The Sword Witch seemed disappointed.

"So this is your limit... huh?"

The ice-blue armor wings detached from the witch's back and crashed heavily to the ground.

Miss Milno sliced them off one by one with her sword. Because the armored warrior was numb, the witch didn't even realize it.

"You're thinking of using air superiority against you? I never intended to use air superiority against you in the first place."

Milno got up without saying a word. She raised her military boots and stomped heavily on the ground. The ground and floorboards under Beiluoshimen's feet shattered in response. This small movement was no match for the witch, but it created an opening for her.

Seizing the opportunity, Miluno pulled out a revolver from behind her back and fired several shots at Fomalhaut. Because the shooting was so fast, I could only hear the overlapping loud bangs.

"—!"

Bei Luoshimen did not fall after all. She jumped back to her father, but blood was seeping out from under her icy white armor.

Although she has become a witch, her blood still flows and remains bright red.

“It seems I have won,” Milno declared.

"despicable!"

The glorious swordsmanship duel was marred by a sneak attack, igniting Beiluo Shimen's fury, which burned fiercely and uncontrollably.

But Miluno seemed disdainful.

"You're even more despicable for letting me challenge you when you know you won't lose, aren't you?"

A few bullets caused Beiluo Shimen to suffer more serious injuries than they appeared. What exactly did Miluno do?

"It must be painful, right? The slowing bullet's pain as it slowly penetrates your body... I didn't shoot at vital organs because someone wants you to live."

Miss Milno wasn't a very good shot, managing to hit every gap in the ice-blue armor... Actually, it was Falcon who was manipulating the bullet's path. She had somehow climbed back into the stairwell and made a shushing gesture to me.

I understand.

That revolver belongs to Falcon. Magical girls' weapons can withstand higher acceleration, and Milno's ability is not only to accelerate—she also slows down the time it takes for the bullet to enter Fomalhaut's body.

Although it slowed down, its kinetic energy remained the same, thus doubling its power and even creating an even larger hole inside her.

That's why the bleeding was so severe; the injury was far more terrifying than it appeared.

Milno stood before Beiluo Shimen, who was kneeling with a sword in hand, and questioned, "You were once a magical girl, a human... Did you know that?"

"So what if we know? We are now soldiers on the 'other side'."

Still don't know what the "other side" is called?

"Did you choose to betray us based on your own will?"

The refusal to answer, even contained anger.

The immense magical power suddenly collapsed, and the witch's figure was covered by a blizzard.

Just like the same time as the Mermaid Witch.

This is the evolution of a weirdo.

However, for the Sword Witch, it was merely the release of her true form.

The temperature plummeted, and a cold snow fell in the sweltering August heat.

"Miluno! Be careful!"

A sword strike, studded with icicles, slashed towards Miluno from the blizzard. Miluno dodged, but the strike sent ice spikes several meters high blasting into the ground behind her.

Originally a sword witch who manipulated cold water vapor, she has now become a winter general clad in white armor. Her armor has completely lost its metallic texture, turning into thick, frosty ice. Her long, snow-white hair has frozen over, and huge icy horns have grown from it.

Like a...deer?

"You will die for failing my expectations."

"She expects things on her own, and then disappoints them just as easily; her capricious nature truly befits a witch."

Miluno is usually not very talkative, but she's actually quite talkative.

She used her foot to lift her composite sword.

"I take back what I said earlier; my own weapon is still the most handy."

Ding--

The dazzling exchange of blows began again, but this time, Beiluoshimen used his magic. Miluno dared not take many of the attacks head-on. Holding a longsword in one hand and a revolver in the other, she dodged and used the gaps to launch counterattacks...

What can I do in a battle of that level?

Just like when facing the Hunter Witch, my magic is like a plastic wrap in high-powered battles, and even in tempered mode, it can't withstand it... But if I temper the protective film, Milno can't move.

"Aurora, that's enough."

The old man spoke up and stopped the fight.

"The transformation is over."

Having completely merged with the Star Crystal of Yangyan, the mother transformed into light.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Witch's Self-Identification

(Sun Yao)

A similar shade of gray deep in my memory, but with short hair;

Young, still with a touch of childishness, yet still a magical girl who is a mother.

The Star Crystal stolen from Kagerou only reversed her age, but did not change her appearance...

Mother is about to wake up.

We failed.

Am I supposed to take the crystal back from my mother who has just woken up?

This is too cruel, I can't do it...

My father's long-cherished wish was fulfilled in this way.

"enough."

Deflecting Miluno's sword strike, Beiluoshimen sheathed his sword at his waist, and his massive ice antlers and Western armor returned to their original state.

"It's not my turn to make an appearance yet, so I'll spare your lives today."

She casually activated a blue teleportation aura, and her father picked up her mother, ready to leave... Where did he want to go? Didn't he have anything to say?

We can't just let them leave like this.

Milo is being closely watched by Fomalhaut and cannot act rashly; while Miss Falcon will be shot down by invisible water vapor as soon as she takes flight.

Right now, I'm the only one who can take action.

And this teleportation magic... I happen to know it too!

Having made up his mind, a pink halo suddenly unfolded beneath his father, causing him to lose his footing and fall straight down while still holding his mother, failing to reach the teleportation halo opened by Beiluoshimen.

I took them to my aunt's place.

Before they fell, I put a protective film on them so they wouldn't get hurt, but they'll still need my bubbles for a while...

Enraged by my interference, Fomalhaut's aura suddenly surged, and in contrast, the surrounding air grew even colder.

What's the benefit of keeping me in your world?

"Being able to eliminate a troublesome enemy ahead of time might not be so bad."

Milno disassembled the composite longsword and pointed the tip at Fomalhaut.

"Besides, I haven't lost yet."

"You are no match for me."

"I'm faster than you."

"Your methods are too easy to figure out; even switching to dual short swords won't change that."

"Really? Then let's try again."

Milno tossed a short sword into the air.
