Miluno's Dream
Miluno.
This is the final name that was decided upon.
Although they have a name, they don't plan to register with the Association.
As for the reasons...
A-Yao's father seems to be a high-ranking member of the Magical Girl Association. Although we're not very familiar with each other, he does seem to remember me. Despite their strained relationship, it's hard to guarantee that he won't leak my information to A-Yao.
On the other hand, I also dislike Association that "commodify" magical girls.
Perhaps doing this can guarantee the lives of magical girls, but as A-Yao said, the nature of magical girls has changed in recent years. Compared to heroes and warriors, they are now more like idols who flaunt their personas.
I can understand it, but I cannot accept it.
If another global invasion were to occur, could today's magical girls fight like their... our predecessors?
Another half month Past.
I experienced two battles in the D4 District, and the name "Miluno" was also promoted through the live broadcast.
By this point, I had made a name for myself as a magical girl, but every battle ended with a single, swift defeat, so my fame wasn't particularly high. However, I was somewhat well-known in the D4 District.
Because we always fought at night, everyone called me "[Moonlit Gale]"... Well, I don't really care about these ephemeral titles.
"I'll wear this one."
I picked out an open-shouldered blouse from the wardrobe and put it on.
White.
According to online fashion tutorials, when choosing clothes, you should avoid your weaknesses and highlight your strengths. Show off your attractive shoulders, and your less noticeable chest will be overlooked. Similarly, my long legs look even better when paired with short skirts, hot pants, or skinny jeans.
Of course, studying clothing and appearance is not about objectifying oneself, but about pleasing oneself, so it does not contradict my point above.
"Well, it would be great if there were a few more sets in the Star Crystal."
Before I knew it, the women's clothing that Crystal couldn't hold had taken up a corner of my wardrobe. If that guy A-Yao saw this, even if I didn't graduate from the magical girl genre, I'd probably graduate from society altogether!
Even though she knows this perfectly well, every time she sees those beautiful clothes, she still thinks, "What would it be like if I, Miluno, wore these?" She even transforms herself and sneaks out to buy them, which has directly led to a shortage of allowance. Lately, she's been relying on A-Yao's takeout for meals and has even had to hand out flyers and earn extra money...
If they could have gotten the bounty for defeating the Monster, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.
Since I bought the clothes, I naturally wanted to wear them, but wearing them at home wasn't very interesting. So, I would occasionally go out as a woman to experience a different kind of life.
"Well, shall we go out like this today?"
Previously, I would transform in bushes, toilets, or alleys, but today I'm taking a shortcut and plan to go out as Miluno.
As a result, something went wrong.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw A-Yao about to ring the doorbell.
"Yezi, I'm here to play games... wait... Mi... Mi... Miluno!?"
I froze in the entryway.
A-Yao was also staring wide-eyed at the door.
This is considered a recurring plot point... Is it really possible for such coincidences to happen so often?
I was about to explain when he asked me with a look of astonishment, "So, Miss Miluno is Yezi?"
So I was recognized just like that!
It's over, it's all over.
My magical girl career is coming to an end.
"No... how should I put it..."
Surprise quickly turned into joy.
"Very good!"
A-Yao's excited expression seemed off. He suddenly picked me up and rushed back to the living room with astonishing strength. Despite being a magical girl, I couldn't break free from his bear hug and was pinned down on the sofa, unable to even move my hands.
"Yezi! Let's get married!"
"Huh? You know what you're saying?"
He had somehow transformed into Ceruno.
... Um?
Etc.
How do I know that this soft, fluffy girl is named "Ceruno"?
"I never dreamed that Yezi was Miluno, this is amazing!"
Although she had become a girl, her carnivorous behavior remained unchanged; in fact, she pressed herself even closer, her soft breasts pressed against my abdomen, her small face tilted up as she gazed at me, her alluring eyes brimming with desire.
"No... this is..."
The real A-Yao wouldn't do such a thing, and we shouldn't be at home either, this is...
This is a dream.
Realizing this, the scene before me abruptly ended.
Woke up.
"Hmm--"
I sat up in bed, rubbing my forehead, while Ceruno was still fast asleep beside me, though her hands were indeed draped over my waist.
Where is this?
Yacht?
Or is it a guest room at the hot spring resort?
No, that's not right. This is the luxurious first-class cabin of an airliner.
Our five-day trip to Hawaii has come to an end, and we are on our way back to Skyreach City.
I glanced at the time on the multi-function screen.
"... Is there about four hours left until landing?"
Once Ceruno falls asleep, she's hard to wake up. I carefully pried her hands away, got up, and headed to the shower room at the entrance to first class, ready to take a five-minute limited shower.
Having a dream like that, you can't not clear your head.
"I wonder how the Golden is doing in the cabin..."
Luckily, nobody here is using it.
I locked the door, put my clothes inside the Star Crystal, and went into the shower to let the cool water wash over me.
It's nowhere near as nice as a hot spring, but there aren't many requirements on an airplane.
"Marriage...?"
In order to get Ceruno to give up "Bai Ziye", I chose to go for it all as "Miluno".
But what should I do if she actually accepts Miluno's words?
Break up?
Or should he just disappear like a jerk?
Putting aside her reaction, I myself am not sure if I could bring myself to do it.
Moreover, after the blow of heartbreak, she might just fall back into Bai Ziye's arms, and then everything would be over.
"Well..."
The sound of water carried away my sighs, flowing into the drain, trickling gently like the sound of receding tide, and my thoughts were carried back to the beach last night.
That idiot...
He's usually so simple-minded, but he always manages to outsmart me at crucial moments.
"Ah, the water's stopped."
I didn't use magic, so five minutes Past in the blink of an eye.
No wiping is needed; a soothing warm breeze blows from all directions to dry the body.
Looking behind her through the full-length mirror, and with the help of the magic potion given to her by Yin Wei, the wounds sustained by the Shark Princess Witch in the battle had basically healed.
"Not bad, at least it's not ugly."
I admit, I do care about my image.
I changed into dry pajamas and left the bathroom.
But he wasn't in a hurry to go back and admire the idiot's sleeping face.
I ordered a coffee with milk and sugar from the bar to kill some time.
What kind of relationship will we have in the future?
The road ahead is full of unknowns.
Yet, it subtly sparks anticipation.
