Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

“Serno, a warrior should never lose his weapon, even in death.”

I was lectured by the cold-blooded swordsman.

"Ah, yes..."

But in the blink of an eye, the katana that Miss Fuuka had tucked into her waistband was snatched away by another clone robot.

"..."

"Miss Feng, the sword has been..."

"..." (covers face)

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Is Miss Fuuka a comedic character who seems very strong?

She didn't speak, but a blush could be seen between her fingers.

"You want to get your wand back, huh! You'll have to watch me!"

Once restored, the Sky Lock swung its chains and blasted away the incoming rocket.

“My chains can extend indefinitely; taking something is a piece of cake for me!”

The chain she swung from her other hand snaked through the robot army and darted rapidly toward my wand...

Then, it fell to the ground.

If the backend is cut off, the frontend will lose its momentum.

"That... seems a bit flimsy?"

"...After all, it was generated by magic."

It seems I'm not getting my wand back.

"It's okay... at least we shouldn't hold Sirius and Milno back..."

Spending time with Milno makes me forget that ordinary magical girls aren't that strong. Robots like these that can materialize weapons would be a tough opponent for them in a one-on-one fight.

I stepped back against the wall and looked towards my father on the other side of the sky.

But he didn't look at me.

Instead, he stared at my wand... a wand?

Thanks to the secret relay of the robot army, my ruby ​​wand is almost ready to be delivered to my father.

but why?

When Betelgeuse stole the wand, I was puzzled. She could have easily killed me with one strike... why?

What does Dad need my wand for?

He placed his unconscious mother aside, and neither Sirius nor Milno noticed it... Even if they had, it wouldn't have mattered, as they were being held back by the endless clones.

An ominous premonition, a nameless panic.

My heartbeat felt like a heavy hammer, pounding against my eardrums.

Dad got the wand, and some kind of box-shaped device materialized in front of him. He finally glanced at me and put the wand into it...

Well!

Feeling of powerlessness.

My body felt like it had been thrown into the deep sea, so heavy that I couldn't lift my hands.

then……

I've turned back to normal.

He reverted to his former, yet now unfamiliar, male self.

But the old man took out a pink star crystal from the box.

"Hey! Are you alright? Why did you turn back?"

Tian Suo helped me up from the ground and said, "You look so frail, but you're actually a boy?"

They didn't even have the strength to speak, and Tian Suo and the others didn't notice the subtle movements on the other side, but I saw it very clearly...

My father incorporated my Star Crystal into his own body.

Oh, I see.

I finally understood my father's purpose.

He wanted to use my Star Crystal to take his mother to the other side.

Chapter 54 Tianshen Village

(Sun Yao)

With the help of technology from "the other side," Dad forcibly transformed the Vega crystal into a magical girl...

She has long, straight, light pink hair, a majestic face, and wears heavy Western armor (pink). She wields a lance longer than a person and a huge tower shield.

Even after transforming, her still towering physique makes her look like an insurmountable mountain.

This is no magical girl.

This is the medieval Crusades.

However, I feel like I've seen this figure somewhere before...

"Ah Yao, I've taken the crystal back first. It's too dangerous for you to keep it."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was quite penetrating; even in such an open environment, I could still hear every word clearly.

"You're being targeted by 'the other side' all because of this crystal. As long as you stop being a magical girl, you can continue living a peaceful life—"

Before her father could finish speaking, Miluno's composite longsword struck her shoulder armor, sending sparks flying but leaving only a negligible white mark.

"Hand over Seruno's crystal!!"

Miluno, who was usually calm and rational, was now speaking with a furious tone.

"Only by staying away from these things can he be safe—"

"Safety? That's not something you can decide! How dare you trample on a child's awareness like that? What right do you have to act like a father here!"

Miluno swore because of me.

Betelgeuse dismissed the rest of its clones, leaving only one cloaked clone to return to its father's side.

He grinned and said, "Don't be so angry. She wasn't lying. As long as there's no Star Crystal, that kid isn't worth assassinating. As for the other targets... it's a pity, but we can come back next time."

This was the first time she had spoken rationally.

The Sword Witch's voice was calm and dignified, while the Hunter Witch's voice was much shrill, as if she was deliberately shouting, and it also had the static of a cheap microphone.

However, her words carried an undisguised murderous intent.

"Huh? Next time?"

Miss Sirius's eyes remained clear and bright.

Do you think I'll let you leave?

The old man replied, "Sirius, you can't stop us."

“Aji, you are no longer qualified to touch that crystal.”

“I really don’t intend to become like this again, but this power is necessary to achieve ‘our’ plan. If you want to stop me, then bring it on.”

Pointing the gun at Miss Sirius, the old man also uttered a harsh threat...

and many more.

Did Dad use Vega's crystal?

Known as the "Fortress of the Gods," the first Vega star, a mobile land fortress, is a legend who almost single-handedly saved the entire Southern Europe.

The figure I had only seen in documents and literature was now standing in front of me.

Her true identity is still my stern and unsmiling father.

It turns out that there are precedents for men becoming magical girls...

"...Was it because of Father that I was chosen by the crystal of Vega?"

"Crystal doesn't have any bloodline inheritance. You were chosen by Crystal on your own merit, right? If you're a man, be more confident and stop being so effeminate, okay?"

That's what Miss Tian Suo said; perhaps this is her... way of comforting people?

But she was clearly not quite sure what was going on either.

The battle between the legendary magical girls was of such a high level that she and her magical chains were powerless to intervene.

However, she did manage to steal back the knife that Fuuka had been disarmed with, though that didn't change anything...

"It seems that we can't talk about this until I beat you down today."

Miss Sirius scratched her forehead unhappily, then took two steps forward and stood face to face with her father.

"Miluno-chan, don't make a move yet."

Milno retreated to the railing, and Betelgeuse glanced at his father with interest before silently standing behind him.

A light, brighter than ever before, gathered in Miss Sirius's clear eyes, and then...

biii——mu!

A high-energy laser, more powerful than usual, blasted towards Dad. Even shielding his eyes with his hand caused a stinging pain, and the concrete in its path was scorched red.

The latter raised his heavy shield, mounted his lance, and charged forward despite the laser beams.

Those heavy, powerful strides, like an unstoppable rhinoceros, displayed a valiant spirit worthy of the name "land fortress".

The surface of the heavy shield was already glowing red-hot, on the verge of melting into molten iron, but just as they were about to approach Sirius...

The old man abandoned the tower shield and used his battle armor to take the scorching laser beam head-on.

He changed his grip on the gun to both hands, and although he was running at full speed, the tip of the gun steadily thrust towards Miss Sirius.
