Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Since it's impossible for anyone to guess correctly, I'll just reveal the answer directly.

"Miss Warrenheit, stop playing coy. Almost no one could guess your identity, right?"

"Hmm, Seruno's a bit of a spoilsport, isn't she? It's rather rude to solve a magician's riddle right away!"

The air conditioner that could perform magic tricks put on a stern face.

"……sorry."

Now that the name has been revealed, Kagerou has also found the answer.

"Fallenhaal? Wait, are they twins?"

"Are you disappointed that the twins are actually the same person?"

Yang Yan glanced at me.

"Magical girls really come in all shapes and sizes, split in two? You're even rarer than those animal magical girls... Can you perform for me?"

"This photography park is full of surveillance cameras, so we can't perform except in the dressing room. We'll have to do it another day... By the way, do you guys know about the 'Supernova Idol Festival'?"

Seeing that Yang Yan and Miss Gila both shook their heads, Miss Warrenheit looked at me.

“I know… Yezi even signed me up.”

"Huh? Seruno, you signed up too?"

At first, he was surprised, then he suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh! I forgot, you're an idol! I'll be participating in that talent show too, then we'll be rivals~"

"Will a magician participate in an idol audition?"

"It's all about starting a side business? Anyone who's a magical girl can participate! The audition is the day after tomorrow, but with our magical girl strength, we can all basically pass... In the end, not many people will sign up, since there aren't many magical girls to begin with."

"Any magical girl will do? Can we apply too?"

Gila asked.

"Yes, you must be Miss Falcon. We're about the same age, and both are magical girls who aren't girls, so we must have a lot in common."

"Actually, this guy Yang Yan is also... *gulp*!"

Kagerou, in her magical girl form, delivered a powerful spinning punch to the stomach of the mortal Gila.

"Cough cough cough! Yoko, do you want to kill me?!"

"Don't be nosy. A magical girl's age is a secret. After all, if we're all considered older magical girls, what is Director Spica?"

Miss Warrenheit blurted out, "Hmm, an elderly magical girl?"

"puff……"

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As a result, they looked at me and smiled.

Ignoring my stomachache, Miss Jira pressed her hands against my cheeks, kneading them vigorously like dough, and said, "Our little sister is a perfectly healthy seventeen years old, come and let your older sisters pamper her a bit~"

As he spoke, he prepared to report it again.

"Wait a minute! This is a public place! And I am—"

------

After leaving the photography park in a daze and saying goodbye to Miss Warrenheit, Kagerou prepared to return to her "matchbox".

Miss Gila went to get her photos developed, while Yang Yan and I waited in front of the park gate.

"I had a lot of fun this afternoon."

Yang Yan, with his hands behind his back, smiled at me and said, "Serno, I wish you could stay like this forever. Although you're not very confident, you're more open now than before."

Standing under the colorful lights, she looked so beautiful when she smiled.

but……

"I can't agree to that for you yet."

"It's okay, take your time. Time will show you how big the gap is between ordinary people and magical girls... and then you will make the right choice."

then.

She leaned down slightly and gave me a light peck on the cheek.

chirp——

"Huh?!"

"I love you, Seruno."

Her eyes gleamed with a strange light as she pinched the spot where she had kissed him.

"But I only like you as you are now."

Chapter Ten Side Effects

(Albinocotyledon)

"Little Leaf~"

Aunt Yuehan seemed quite bored. She kept dragging the Golden Horse around the kitchen doorway, but she was afraid of disrupting my cooking rhythm if she just came in.

"Stir-fried loofah with eggs, stir-fried pork with green peppers, cucumber with minced garlic... and there's spinach and tofu soup in the pot. Aren't the colors of your dishes a bit monotonous? Why is everything so green as far as the eye can see?"

The color seems to be a bit green?

I didn't consider all of this when I was buying groceries.

"...It's alright, there's braised fish and lion's head meatballs coming up later."

"Little Yezi is so virtuous, I'm even thinking of marrying Yao'er off to you~"

"...Please don't make such jokes."

"I'm serious, you know. I just looked it up. Magical girls' bodies are no different from normal human females, which means they can get pregnant. Even if a magical girl is an animal, there's no reproductive barrier between them and humans... There's a story online about a Welsh farmer and his magical sheep..."

"That's enough! You can't accept all the information online. Most of this is just absurd and ridiculous stories from cheap street vendor literature!"

What did Aunt Yuehan investigate?

What are those researchers researching?

That stereotypical story about the farmer is even more absurd...

Aunt Yuehan asked, bewildered, "Um, what if it's true?"

"Wang!"

Even the Golden Ship is blindly following suit. What does this dog know? Does it want to turn into a human and have my babies?

"We're back! Oh? It smells so good!"

Looking through the sliding door of the kitchen towards the entrance, Serino and Gila came back from outside carrying large bags and small packages. They had both changed their clothes, indicating that they had obviously spent a lot of money on this trip. Meanwhile, I could only buy two steamers of buns with Golden and stand by the roadside to eat them.

Damn, why am I so poor?

"Yezi, I also bought you a few clothes. Come over and try them on when you have time."

Ok?

Seruno...

Wait, has Ayao ever bought me any clothes before?

Although we've known each other for so many years and our relationship is incredibly close, buying each other clothes doesn't seem like something brothers should do.

But to say I'm unhappy would seem insincere; after all, who doesn't want new clothes?

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

Turn the heat down and let the spinach, minced meat, and tofu soup simmer slowly in the pot.

I washed my hands, took off my apron, and left the kitchen temporarily.

"You bought so much stuff?"

The sofa was piled high with items, far more than just everyday necessities.

Gila added, "Because Seruno's magic is so convenient, she can carry as much stuff as she wants, and she can easily buy too much without realizing it."

"You guys really don't value money..."

"After all, fighting witches does earn you a bounty, even if that's not made public."

Gila shrugged, and Seruno handed her several paper bags.

"This leaf is for you."

The clothes themselves weren't anything special; they were just flashy shirts, T-shirts, baseball jackets, and trendy jackets. They all seemed to fit well, and there weren't any unexpected styles. However, these clothes had a distinctly American style, which was probably due to Yang Yan and Jira's advice.

"Thank you, I'll give it a try."

"Ah."

I took the new clothes back to my bedroom. Although I could use the Star Crystal, there were so many people outside, so I didn't take the risk and obediently took off my shirt.

Aunt Yuehan's magic can make doors transparent; even when I lock the door from the inside, it's useless.

"Huh? Was I really this fair-skinned?"

I got very tanned from the equatorial sun in Hawaii, but now I'm unusually fair. I don't think I was this fair-skinned before I went to Hawaii.

Not only that, her skin was smooth with small pores, and the fine, short hairs were almost imperceptible...

This is just like Miluno.

I was startled by my own thought and quickly looked in the mirror.

"...I am still me, at least my face still looks like mine."

His pectoral muscles remained flat.

My little brother is still alive and well.

However, the change in skin texture has also brought about a change in temperament. Now, instead of saying "handsome," it would be more appropriate to describe him as "beautiful." Although his features are not yet feminine, the word to describe him is "handsome."
