Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

The judging panel provided their professional answers, but the final outcome depended on the 50,000 audience members present.

However, this competitive format also has drawbacks, such as a lack of balance, where eliminated players may be weaker than those still in the competition.

"One-on-one?"

Liu rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"My magic... cough cough, my projection ability creates an illusion that can be seen but not touched, a reflection of the moon in the water. This kind of movie-like, visual performance is not enough to compete with others on the same stage."

"Then I'll do it."

The Mermaid Witch adapted very quickly.

"That day, I also tried to get to the scene."

Because she was afraid of being recognized, she never went to the scene, but only sang to Ryuhime from behind the scenes.

Just like she used to be backstage as a backing vocalist when she performed on Sirius…

"However... when it comes to the expressiveness of magic, I seem to be at a greater disadvantage."

Whether time is accelerated or decelerated, my magic cannot be used over long distances or applied to groups, making it difficult to devise any interesting programs.

When magic shows are also incorporated into the competition by Sirius, it's difficult to go very far by relying solely on singing.

In comparison, Seruno's bubbles, which she can create at will, are...

It sucks.

"What? Are you getting discouraged just thinking about the possibility of losing to Seruno?"

Sirius's smile just infuriates me; I find it hard to control myself.

"Still bringing this up? Your actions are clearly designed to drive me to my death!"

However, saying that only made her happier.

"Oh? Miluno-chan can make such a flustered expression? Are you panicking? Don't worry, you have the best teacher by your side. Train hard with Halley, and beating Seruno-chan at this stage shouldn't be a problem. But I've also told you..."

Halley patted my shoulder... with her dangerous tail.

Sirius continued, "That girl's potential as an idol is immeasurable. If she can overcome her cowardice and find her hidden self, she will make great strides on her path to becoming an idol, and I'm afraid even I will find it hard to catch up with her."

"The self that has hidden itself?"

Does Seruno have some hidden personality?

“The true self, Seruno needs to peel away the unbearable illusion before her and liberate the other self in her heart... You can also call it, Anima.”

Chapter 41 Low-altitude reconnaissance

(Sun Yao)

afternoon.

Under Falcon's guidance, the mother learned to cook, and the greedy dog, Golden, followed them, ready to rush up and try the food as soon as possible.

I stayed alone in Yezi's room, using his full-length mirror.

My mood... is very strange.

"Yezi, don't I look cute in this outfit!"

"Ye Zi, when will you be back?"

"...cough cough cough, it still feels a bit unnatural."

Ever since I tried singing with that adorable voice, it's like a new world has opened up inside me. Even my everyday tone of voice has become that soft, cute, loli-style voice... Although my voice is naturally quite soft, I didn't intentionally try to be cute before.

I never knew I could be this cute?

Once you realize this, the narcissistic thoughts just won't stop...

No, I've always been a bit narcissistic, so now I should call it self-indulgent?

Right now, I'm holding a few Lolita-style puffy dresses that I've never tried before. Miss Jizhen Haoyin's battle outfit is also in this style, but that blue dress clearly doesn't match her personal style. However, it suits me perfectly...

He kept gesturing in front of the dressing mirror, and couldn't help but strike poses, make expressions, and make some meaningless noises.

"Hehe?"

"Mmm~"

"Chirp, chirp!"

I know it's strange, but I can't stop.

It felt as if another version of myself had taken control of my body.

How can I become cuter?

Such thoughts filled my mind.

"Serno, come out and use your magic to move the new furniture, shall we?"

Hearing Miss Falcon's call, I hurriedly put away my dress and removed the soundproofing bubbles. If she or my mother saw this, I would have no choice but to throw myself into the Chonghui River and commit suicide.

"coming!"

As soon as she went outside, she saw Miss Metar running into the room, carrying a chest of drawers in one hand and a writing desk in the other.

……

What?

What kind of unreasonable, monstrous strength is this? Does she really need my help?

"It arrived so quickly, even though I placed the order just yesterday. Miss Metal's connections are really useful..."

After the renovation, my room became almost a third smaller, and even the room structure changed. Naturally, the old furniture was no longer usable, so I simply threw it all away and replaced it with a new set, which was handled entirely by Miss Metal.

“These are the city rebuilding team’s inventory; I just took them directly from the warehouse.”

"Such nice furniture is actually in stock?"

It is not a poorly made piece of furniture; it is well-made, uses high-quality materials, and even the carvings on the edges are exceptionally delicate.

“Serno, do you think anyone can pull off this kind of girly furniture? It becomes stock because it never gets used. And the good thing about this kind of stock furniture is that it doesn’t smell because it’s been in the warehouse for a long time, so it can be used right away when we get it back… I’ll just put it by the door for now, there are still things to move downstairs.”

Miss Metar put down the chest of drawers and the desk, and turned to go downstairs.

"Wait, we'll go down with you!"

I followed them downstairs, and of course, I also brought my mother and Falcon along.

My magic is very convenient when moving heavy objects, and it can also prevent bumps and knocks.

Falcon skipped the elevator hassle and simply threw the furniture into the house from the balcony. Her mother was responsible for keeping Falcon hidden, so that the general public wouldn't discover that several magical girls lived in the house...

After the arrangements were completed, a simple assembly line was formed: "Miss Metall moved the furniture out of the small van, I put bubble wrap on the furniture, Mom made the furniture and Falcon transparent, and Falcon flew up to the seventeenth floor to throw the furniture into the room."

"It's definitely much faster now~ Otherwise, I would have had to run it three or four times."

After handing the last bedside table to Falcon, Miss Metal clapped her hands and closed the back door of the van. She certainly didn't look tired, not even sweating... It seems that her strength is indeed remarkable.

"Thank you so much. Besides making the hole in the wall, you've done so much work afterwards... I'm afraid those two pieces of gold leaf won't be enough, will they?"

"The little girl is quite clever, but I didn't intend to ask you for money."

She took off her gloves and started rubbing her hands on my head...

Although Miss Metall's workplaces were mostly factories and construction sites, surprisingly, she didn't have any calluses on her hands.

But considering her exaggerated strength, I still dared not make a move, for fear that she would twist it off—she could definitely do it.

“I know you’re preparing for the Idol Festival these days, but the city’s defenses also need to be strengthened. Since a single wormhole can produce more than one monster, there are probably other monsters lurking in Changkong City.”

I pulled the Falcon, which had just landed, to my side.

"Yes, we'll be going out on patrol later tonight."

"We must ensure the safety of citizens."

Miss Metal opened the car door, but didn't get in right away.

He only cautioned, "If any serious accident occurs again, even the idol festival might be canceled."

That would be bad!

Time: Afternoon → → → Evening

------

The north wind blew against my face.

It felt wonderful, but I could barely keep my eyes open. Anyway, Ms. Falcon would hold me, so I simply closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

But this is not laziness.

Perhaps because I was also infected, I was able to sense the dark energy like a radar.

This sense is neither sight nor smell; it exists outside the five senses and is more concrete than the sixth sense. It is difficult to describe, yet it certainly exists.

It's like having a new sensory organ in your body; closing your eyes actually makes that sense more acute.

Miss Falcon took me flying low between buildings at night, which was more efficient than the patrols of other magical girls.

"We're like low-altitude reconnaissance planes."

Hearing me say that, Miss Falcon laughed and said, "Hey, then if I add Miluno, I'm a supersonic fighter jet; if I add Yangyan, I'm a strategic bomber; and if I add Yuehan, I'm a stealth aircraft?"

"Speaking of which, have you and Yang Yan found a place to work yet?"

"Of course, what's so difficult about finding a job as a magical girl... How about we go check it out on the way?"

The route has changed.

Falcon carried me and flew in another direction.

"and many more."

However, I felt it, and my hair stood on end in an instant.

"Over there! Quick!!"
