What Did He Run Into...?

(Sun Yao)

"Xiao Yi... no, Senior Xiao Yi?"

Although I saw Miluno off, I wasn't in a hurry to leave.

I want to spend more time with this legendary magical girl. Using her magical girl identity to follow her idol is definitely much more convenient than being an otaku!

Although I'm almost an idol myself.

Xiao Yi remained modest.

"I'm no longer a magical girl, you don't need to call me that."

"You are a legend of your time. Even if you are forced to retire and abandoned by time, your past achievements will not be forgotten... But I really didn't expect that you are actually a child younger than me."

She still has her cute bob haircut.

Despite being held in Sirius's arms and having her head patted, she still said, "Sister Ceruno, as I just told Sister Miluno, you don't need to treat me like a child. I've been fighting for six years at the age of seventeen, and I've seen too many Monster eating people, and even people eating people. Even if I wanted to stay innocent, it would have been worn away long ago."

It's understandable that Monster eat people, but this child actually said something like "people eat people"...

"You've only been back for six years and you're already talking about such serious topics? The troubles we encountered back then have been mostly resolved in the past few years. Don't underestimate A-Ji's skills in dealing with outsiders."

It originally referred to a chaotic era in which magical girls were manipulated and exploited by various forces, and the Association was unable to fully control the situation even at its inception...

Suddenly mentioning his father, Sirius pointed at me and said, "By the way, this guy is A-Ji's son in disguise. I was just telling you in case you didn't know."

"Eh? It's Uncle Sun Ji's... Eh? Son!"

"What, are you surprised?"

Sirius asked this, but Xiao Yi shook her head.

"No, thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite normal."

I never imagined that even the Morning Star knew my father. During the war, he was very close to these legendary magical girls. Could he have been one of their earliest liaisons or Tactical Division?

"Ah!"

Xiao Yi slapped her forehead, stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "It's almost evening, shall I prepare dinner for you? Let me see what's in the fridge..."

No, that's alright.

I quickly declined, saying, "Someone is waiting for me to go back for dinner."

"Wow, it's my boyfriend?"

Miss Sirius was as wicked as ever; her words once again made Xiao Yi cover her mouth, making a big fuss.

"Boyfriend? Wait, you're not a guy... Wow!"

I don't know how to explain it. Thinking back to my conversation with Yezi on the beach in Hawaii... I didn't give him a direct answer at the time. Although it was a bit greedy, depending on the circumstances, it might not be impossible for Yezi and I to become a couple.

"Miss Sirius, please don't say that..."

"Anyway, you'd better put in more effort, or you'll be in trouble if Spica."

"Huh! SpiCa?!"

When she saw a familiar name again, Xiao Yi's surprise escalated once more.

"Ahem, Xiao Yi, don't listen to Miss Sirius! She... she's just spouting nonsense and it's all unreliable!"

"I'm warning you, Spica is much more proactive than she appears. She has an unwavering determination to achieve her goals."

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

Although "Miluno likes Yezi" was just a misunderstanding on my part, Miss SpiCa is still someone I need to be wary of... because I seem to like Yezi too.

"When you come to Skyreach City, be sure to visit us!"

"Yes! I will!"

I was in a hurry to get home for dinner, so I said goodbye to Xiao Yi, and Miss Sirius drove me back to the railway station.

The rabbits used in the experiment were given to Xiao Yi, who liked them very much. As for the testing equipment, Miss Sirius took it back with her.

"Miss Sirius, is there any possibility that Xiao Yi could be chosen by another Crystal?"

"Yes, and her chances are greater than ordinary people's, because she has the soul of a hero."

The answer was straightforward, but then the person changed their mind.

"However, I don't want her to fight anymore."

"... I see."

"You don't understand. Only those of us who have watched her journey can understand this feeling. She should have been learning, growing, and enjoying a vibrant life, but war destroyed all of that, forcing her to become a 'hero'... Are you kidding me? Who wants a child to be a hero!"

Miss Sirius tapped the steering wheel and honked the horn.

"I want to help her make up for the life she lost, so... I want to arrange for her to go to school. You probably guessed it, right? Her parents were eaten by Monster at the beginning of the war, along with her childhood... The Star Crystal gave her the power to resist, but ultimately it consumed six years of her life... Why is it always this child who gets hurt? This world is so unfair."

I listened quietly for a long time before finally expressing my feelings.

"You are clearly Star Crystal, yet you always manage to empathize with humans."

Miss Sirius paused for a moment, then flashed her usual confident smile.

"Well, I've been human for twelve years now! So, I'm only twelve years old! Nice to meet you, Ceruno- neechan~"

"Hey!"

Is it still possible to calculate it this way?

"I come back...?!"

It was Aunt Lin Xi who opened the door.

She put her arm around my neck and ushered me into the house.

"What are you doing, kid? Why did you suddenly run off to Chaiqing City?"

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the table was full of dishes, but it was Uncle Yun Zhi who was wearing an apron.

I patted the Golden's head and asked, "Hey? Where's Yezi?"

"Xiao Yezi just got back not long ago, and she's staying inside right now."

"Did Yezi go out today too?"

"Then I don't know that much."

What did Yezi go out to do today?

Could it be that Miss SpiCa invited him out?

"Yezi, am I coming in?"

In the bedroom, Yezi was sitting in front of the computer, and on the screen was... uh, the desktop?

His reaction seemed somewhat familiar.

Ah! Are they watching that kind of movie?

After all, they're at that age where they're full of youthful vigor, so it's not hard to understand. But it's a bit too much of a formality for them to hide themselves from me when I come in.

It's rare to see him make a fool of himself, so I decided to play a trick on him!

"Yezi, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, but couldn't you at least knock before coming in?"

"I knocked, but you just didn't hear it... Were you watching some porn? You have resources but don't share them with me, you really don't consider me a brother!"

Leaning back in his chair, I placed my hands on his shoulders.

"You're getting the wrong idea. I wasn't looking at that kind of thing; I was just researching."

"What documents can't I show them?"

He brushed my hand away and stood up.

"Let's go out for dinner first, and I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

"No, I need to know now."

I tried to open the minimized window, but Yezi grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me out.

"Don't be ridiculous," he said.

But I'm a magical girl now, how could he possibly pull me? As long as I don't want to move... wait?

I was dragged out by an "ordinary person"?

This is clearly unreasonable.

Could the Yezi really be UI-31?
