Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"do not know."

I answered in a low voice, but Ye Zi said, "I'm wondering if there's some untapped function in your magic? Perhaps your magic has a way to stop them from passing through the wormhole and end the battle before it even begins?"

Why are we chatting like this? I clearly didn't want to say anything more!

"If I truly possess abilities that even I am unaware of, then how did the 'other side' know about them?"

I responded softly, but Ye Zi added, "Perhaps they have some ability to foresee the future. After all, humans have no idea what the other side is all about, and the abilities of these strange people are all different."

"Let's hear what Miss Spica has to say. There's no point in discussing this here... Hmm!"

Suddenly realizing that she had forgotten to lower her voice, she covered her mouth and stopped speaking.

But Ye Zi seemed to have realized it, and therefore fell silent.

For a moment, only the sound of water from the showerhead hitting the ground could be heard.

The bathroom was filled with a substance called embarrassment...

What should I do?

Chapter Seventeen (This is the title)

(Albinocotyledon)

I was lying in bed with my back to Seruno, pretending to be asleep.

Because of this idiot's baffling actions, they were both too embarrassed to exchange a word.

What exactly was he trying to prove by luring me in?

Want to prove we can still be like we used to be, sharing a pair of underwear, taking a bath together, and bragging about penis sizes?

It's no longer possible, at least not now.

"Ye Zi, are you asleep...?"

Seruno's voice came from behind.

Even though I didn't respond, she continued talking.

"...You're still awake, aren't you? I'm sorry, I was confused earlier."

"I'm not angry, go to sleep early."

"Oh……"

Seruno fell silent.

I closed my eyes, but found myself wide awake.

Seruno fell into a deep sleep in no time. Although there had been some "minor accidents," she was indeed exhausted today.

I quietly got up and left the guest room. The mansion was eerily quiet at night. The maids had all gone back to their rooms to rest, and only a few dim nightlights were on in the corridor. I went up to the second floor and knocked on Yin Wei's door.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

I pushed open the door and went inside; the lights were still on.

"Is there a problem?"

Yin Wei did indeed spend half a day on Oahu, and now she has brought back a lot of things in large and small bags.

"Let me talk about tomorrow's arrangements... and about Seruno."

"Tomorrow, you will go to Oahu with Melissa to do shopping, while Miluno and I will stay on the island to train with Seruno."

I gleaned some information from those words.

"You mean, Miss Melissa also knows who I am?"

Yin Wei spread her hands and said, "For Sirius, the maids in this mansion are her closest family."

This is not good news. The more people who know my true identity, the more passive my situation becomes.

"You promised me you wouldn't tell anyone else."

"Sirius is the embodiment of the Star Crystal. You can't hide it from her at all. If you really don't want to be exposed, the best way is to keep 'Bai Ziye' from coming to Hawaii, but you agreed to this yourself."

"I couldn't find a reason to refuse that idiot back then..."

I shook my head and changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that. I want to know why 'the other side' is so obsessed with Seruno? In my opinion, her magic is far from powerful."

"Director Spica is already preparing experiments on this matter."

"experiment?"

"Regarding the effects of Seruno's magic on wormholes, the association is currently researching wormholes, so arranging experiments shouldn't be difficult..."

"Oh? I do have some thoughts on this issue you're discussing."

The voice of Sirius.

The blonde idol flapped her wings and landed on the balcony, then opened the sliding door and slipped inside.

"Why don't you just use the door?"

Completely ignoring my complaints, she continued, "In fact, Seruno-chan's magic might be a patch for this world."

"How to say?"

"You'll tell me after you turn into Miluno-chan."

"What's the difference..."

"Change quickly~"

Unable to resist her, I took out the Morning Star crystal from my wristband and transformed into Miluno in front of the two of them.

"You're nice, quite pretty. I've never had a chance to really look at you before..."

Even though I am Milno, I am half a head taller than Sirius. She walked up to me, stood on tiptoe, and looked up at my face.

"...You and that guy are completely different. I really don't know how Morning Star chose you?"

She was referring to the first generation of Morning Stars, her former comrades-in-arms.

"I will find an opportunity to visit that senior. Could you please continue our previous conversation?"

Yin Wei locked the door from the inside and drew the curtains on the balcony.

Sirius plopped down on the bed.

"It's a long story, but before that, did Miluno-chan know what a pseudo-factor was?"

"It's the source of power within these monsters, and also their passport to this world, right?"

"That's right! Just like a virus invading the human body, the monsters deceive the world's immune system through mimicry factors, thus launching an invasion against us. But what is Seruno's magic? It looks like blowing bubbles, but its essence is passage and rejection, it's screening! If she could open a giant bubble that envelops the entire world, wouldn't that create a new firewall for the immune system?"

The Sirius hypothesis is somewhat absurd; the idea of enveloping the entire world is too... well... idealistic. I think it's completely impossible to achieve even if Seruno were given more room to grow.

"Miluno-chan doesn't have confidence in her childhood friend? I can tell you definitively that Seruno-chan has the potential to become a top-tier magical girl. Although she's still a bit green right now, if you keep standing still, she'll surpass you sooner or later."

"Surpass me?"

That's actually quite funny.

"That's right, she's smarter than you think, at least when it comes to applying her abilities, she's quite quick-witted, which is a necessary quality for a magical girl. In comparison, Milno-chan is a bit inflexible."

"..."

Like Spica, Sirius also has a high opinion of Seruno.

In my eyes, she is just a fledgling bird that needs protection and whose magic is unstable, but can they already see her spreading her wings and taking flight?

"Well, it's just my guess after all. Let's leave the specifics to Spica. Although she's an unpleasant woman, it's definitely more appropriate to leave these things to her."

Sirius lay back down, then suddenly sat up.

"Speaking of which, you'll all be on the island tomorrow, right?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Yin Wei replied.

Sirius immediately jumped up and declared, "Alright, let's have a beach party tomorrow! Everyone, put on your swimsuits!"

Swimsuits are...

It looks almost like underwear, but you can wear it as a matter of course for others to admire.

I find it a little hard to accept.

"Didn't you say you were going to arrange training for me and Serino?"

"This is also part of the training~"

"But I have a back injury and can't go into the sea."

"I just want you to wear a swimsuit, I don't need you to go into the sea~"

"Then why wear it at all?"
