Chaos Bringer

(Bai Ziye)

A hole was made in the living room wall, and right across from it was A-Yao's own room.

The bedroom walls were covered with posters and photos of magical girls, the shelves were filled with magical girl figurines and dolls, the computer case was a custom-made magical girl style, and even the dusty bed sheets had a picture of a black-haired magical girl printed on them... well, it was a picture of Miluno "Moonlit Gale".

That is, myself.

"..."

I'd be on the verge of collapse if I watched this scene for even a second longer.

If I'm the only one who's silent, it just makes me seem strange.

But when everyone is quiet, Ceruno herself feels awkward.

"Hmm, hehe, even before I became a magical girl... I... I liked magical girls."

But who among those present... except for the Golden... isn't a magical girl?

She looked like she was about to cry.

With a flushed face Ceruno frantically waved her wand, dispelling the pink Teleportation Halo and turning it off.

Then, moving two steps to the right, the portal reopened in the location of the bathroom.

"Let's go this way!"

After passing through the bathroom and entering A-Yao's living room, Aunt Yuehan bluntly asked, "Yao'er really likes that magical girl named Miluno, huh?"

"... Yes, I really like it."

Heat Haze, not wanting to miss an opportunity to stir things up, chimed in. "Sister Yuehan, you don't know, that guy named Miluno confessed to her before."

"Someone confessed their feelings to Yao'er? Really?"

"It must be true; she told me herself that."

Wow, Ceruno actually told Heat Haze about something like this?!

The fool blushed, ran to pull the blackout curtains in the living room, and then turned on the indoor lights.

This is to protect against thieves and petty people.

Ceruno's balcony window faces another high-rise apartment building. If someone with ulterior motives is involved, they might cause some trouble. Although a month Past and A-Yao's story has gradually faded from public view, if things take any turn for the better, those so-called internet celebrities and self-media will come knocking again, drawn by the scent of traffic.

Everyone understands why Ceruno did this.

Except for Aunt Yuehan.

She looked around her unfamiliar home as she asked questions.

"Hey, why are you drawing the curtains in broad daylight?"

You'd think they were mother and daughter after all.

I always felt that this person was a bit confused and not very bright.

"... because it would be troublesome if we didn't pull it up."

"What trouble?"

"Someone will come to cause trouble..."

"Because of the incident where Heat Haze was seriously injured and hospitalized?"

"... Um."

"Since Xiao Heat Haze has forgiven you, why are those people making such a fuss? In the end, they don't care about Xiao Heat Haze's feelings; they just want to use public opinion to create sensational news for profit, right?"

The perspective on the issue was surprisingly clear.

"That's the truth, but there's not much we can do about it."

"How could there be no way?"

Surprisingly, he's a very meticulous person.

I advised, "Auntie, the best solution for this kind of thing is to play dead and let the sands of time bury everything. Whether it's A-Yao or Miss Heat Haze, any move they make will allow that guy to fleece you for days."

"Moreover, I was indeed at fault first. If it weren't for my willful and reckless behavior, Heat Haze wouldn't have been injured and hospitalized, and Dad wouldn't have taken any further action. I'm the one who caused this chaotic situation, so it's only fair that I accept criticism."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're taking too much blame for this!"

Heat Haze disagrees with this statement, and of course, I cannot accept it either.

"Miss Heat Haze is right. The current situation is mainly due to the mistakes of your father, the Association chairman. Although it is not right to say this to Aunt Yuehan, his actions will have very serious consequences, and may even lead to the destruction of human society and civilization. This is not an exaggeration."

Perhaps my words were a bit harsh, but a sadness appeared on Aunt Yuehan's face. After all, Father Ceruno did it all for her sake...

Ceruno quickly said, "Whoa! Let's not talk about this for now! Miss Jila! Let me show you the guest rooms first!"

She pulled Jila into the guest room.

"Mr. Yezi."

Is that what Heat Haze calls me?

"No need to be so formal, just call me Yezi."

"Hmm, then, Yezi."

"What's up?"

"Do you even realize that Ceruno actually likes you too?"

...!

What is this guy thinking, saying that in front of Aunt Yuehan?!

Do these two really want to be wingmen?

"... I understand to some extent, but if she hasn't made up her mind, I won't respond. Whether she lives as A-Yao or Ceruno, I hope she can choose her own path."

I thought I had explained myself quite clearly, but Heat Haze seemed somewhat dismissive.

"Huh? That sounds nice, but he's just a herbivore type who waits for girls to throw themselves at him."

"To me, A-Yao, as a man, is equally important. Once this public opinion storm has completely subsided, he can still turn back into his original form."

Heat Haze said, "Hey, Mr. Yezi, you must be Ria Mitsu, right?"

"Ah?"

"Perhaps Ceruno's deep-seated inferiority complex is partly your fault."

What exactly are you trying to say?

Heat Haze shook his head and sighed, "I'm not praising you, but you're just too outstanding, and you're the only one who can accept him. Being around a perfect friend every day, it's hard for him not to feel inferior... But now, she's become a magical girl, and this identity has given her hope. She finally has the chance to become even better than you... How can he possibly accept turning back into the useless, trouble-making person he used to be?"

"I'm not a perfect person either, am I?"

"At least you're better than Sun Yao, who's a magical girl fan, right? You're clearly viewed through a beautifying lens in her eyes, just like Miluno..."

She paused here.

Would she suspect I'm Miluno because of something like this?

"Since you're planning to passively wait for love, then I won't hold back."

"... What?"

Huh? What kind of development is this?

"Yezi, let me be frank! I like Ceruno, but only as Ceruno magical girl! Before, I couldn't do anything while lying in bed, but from now on, I'm going to join this battle. I'll make Ceruno decide not to change back, and I'll make her my lover."

"But you are all..."

"I just like girls, do you have a problem with that?"

A direct declaration of war?!

Heat Haze, that guy, is actually a real palm tree?!

It doesn't seem too surprising...

But her arrival only made the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

Miluno's "I" "hope" that Ceruno can turn back into a "male";

Ceruno, being a "woman," also has feelings for me, who is "Bai Ziye."

Heat Haze, however, only has eyes for Ceruno, who is a "woman"...

"Eh?! Xiao Heat Haze likes Yao'er too? That's great! You two have to compete fairly!"

Aunt Yuehan's eyes widened in surprise, as she was astonished that her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for nearly ten years, was so popular.

"Sister Yuehan, I only love Ceruno, who is your daughter... Is that alright?"

I'm also a little curious.

Could Yuehan Ayi, who lived more than ten years ago, accept something as novel as yuri (lesbian relationships)?

"Huh? No problem at all! I've already accepted this kind of development since A-Ji became a magical girl~"

... There's such a way to play?
