Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Conservative...that's a bit general. Could you be more specific?"

Actually, I didn't have any particular thoughts. Since you asked, I looked around at the other guests' attire...

I found that quite a few people were staring at me, which made my face start to burn again.

"I'll take that lady's style..."

I pointed to a purple-haired lady dressed in an ancient-style blue robe, but she shook her head, stood up, and walked over with a smile.

"No, little sister, your figure isn't suitable for wearing ancient costumes."

She lifted my hair and examined it closely, then said, "Hey? Your hair is so black, it doesn't reflect any shine at all..."

Each strand of hair is covered with bubble wrap, which absorbs most of the light in order to disguise it as black hair.

But after looking at her for a while, she brought her elegant face closer and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my? Isn't this Seruno!"

She looked surprised, then pointed to her face and said, "It's me!"

Eh?

You recognized me?

But I have never seen her before. Could she be the real magical girl?

"Hmph, let me pick one out for you."

She said to the waitress behind the counter, "Ancient Greek dress, a short skirt would be fine."

Ancient Greece?

The outfits that came to mind were nice, but...

"That doesn't sound conservative at all."

"But since it's very form-fitting from top to bottom, the risk of accidental exposure is actually quite low, right?"

The waiter brought me a Greek dress that resembled what I had imagined. The purple-haired woman took the short dress and, without saying a word, dragged me by the arm toward the dressing room... Don't I have any choice in what I wear?

I asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Hint: I'm a magical girl too. We recently went through a major event. As for who it was... guess?"

"Is that Miss Tian Suo?"

I vaguely remember that Tian Suo also had a small tuft of purple highlights on his forehead.

No, of course not.

As she spoke, she pushed me into the locker room.

I drew the curtain and asked, "Is that Miss Feng Hua?"

"That's not right either, the range is too small, isn't it? Let's guess again."

She was outside encouraging me.

She took off her nightgown, put the Greek dress into the Star Crystal, and then changed into it all at once.

But I still had no clue about the identity of the young lady outside the door.

"Could it be Miss Bai Ze?"

"Unfortunately, not really... so I'm coming in too?"

"Huh?!"

The purple-haired lady, whom they had only recently met, pulled back the curtain and forced her way in. The dressing room was rather cramped for the two of them, and no matter how they moved, they were always very close together.

I hurriedly asked, "What...what do you want to do?"

"Hey, I can't exactly transform myself outside, can I?"

Her star crystal, a coin-like disc, hung on her bracelet.

"Hmph, don't be surprised."

Even at this point, she's still keeping us in suspense...

Wait, could it be Miss Miluno?!

I was startled by my own thoughts.

She broke her star crystal in two.

Then, she herself was split in two...

"what?!"

Chapter 9 Yangyan Invasion

(Sun Yao)

"Warren? Haight?"

The purple-haired lady split into two lolis in front of me.

"uh-huh!"

"Ah."

The two nodded, but their tones were completely different.

"So you're all one person? There are even magical girls like this!"

Splitting into two is even stranger than me, a boy turned magical girl!

A cute girl in ancient costume, dressed in red and blue.

These two little girls are even shorter than me.

"That's right! You didn't expect that, did you!"

"We are twin magical girls, split from a single star crystal."

"Wait, why did you say it was so long?!"

“You always start talking, and it’s exhausting for me to keep up with your pace.”

The two would even bicker.

They do not share a unified consciousness when they are in magical girl form.

I asked, "Um, could you change back first?"

"No problem! Oh, do you prefer us the way we are?"

"I see. So Seruno likes older women..."

No, it's just that talking to two people at the same time gives me a headache.

However, they obediently deactivated their transformations and merged back into the purple-haired young lady.

"Fahrenheit".

She reached out and pinched my cheek.

"My name is a combination of Fallon and Heit."

"Oh? You're a foreigner?"

No, of course not.

"But this name is..."

"This is my stage name; this is what I do normally."

As I left the locker room, she handed me a business card, which seemed to have been taken directly from the Star Crystal; it appeared in her palm with a flick of her wrist.

The profession listed on the business card is...

"magician?"

She smiled and affirmed, "Hmm~ I know what you're thinking, but I didn't use the Star Crystal when I handed over the business card. That's a magic trick. After all, you can't use the Star Crystal after you've deactivated your transformation, right?"

It's common knowledge among magical girls that they can't use the space inside the Star Crystal without transforming.

"Do magicians work in places like circuses?"

"Although I'm a magician, I'm also an independent artist. I work for myself. I go and negotiate for commercial performances wherever they are. If I sign a contract, I make money. But after becoming a magical girl, this part of my income is very flexible."

Is it like being your own agent? Miss Hualenheit was already outstanding before becoming a magical girl... Most of the magical girls chosen by the Star Crystal are like this.

"Is Miss Warrenheit here alone?" I asked.

"No, I also have companions who came with me."

"You...you know I didn't come alone?"

"Of course, you don't look like the kind of person who would come to a place like this alone."

that's the truth.

"Hey, Seruno! Don't run around like that!"

At the locker room door, Miss Gila waved to me from the front, while Yang Yan rushed over, eyeing Miss Warrenheit warily.

"And who is this? How come you're being watched just for changing your clothes?"

"..."

I think she looks like Miss Warren Heights.

He asked her with his eyes if she wanted her identity to be revealed.

However, the latter embraced Kagerou, who was wearing a yukata, with the same enthusiasm.

"Huh? Eh!"

Yangyan is at a loss.

"Isn't this Xiao Yangyan? Has he recovered already?"

"You're mostly healed, but you'll have to maintain your magical girl form for a while... wait, who are you anyway?!"

Are we going to have to go through that blind guessing game again?
