Is This What a Girls' Get-Together Is?

(Sun Yao)

"No need, I can't possibly accept your money."

"That won't do. I can't just stay at your house for free!"

Miss Jila insisted on paying rent, but even if I were to charge her, I didn't know how to set a reasonable price. The two of us kept pushing the issue back and forth like we were playing a game of tai chi.

"That's what they say, but right now we have to rely on Teleportation Halo to get in and out, which isn't very convenient. And to charge you under these circumstances..."

"That's no problem, just drill a hole in the wall! We're all magical girls, doing something like this is a piece of cake!"

As she spoke, she reached out and touched the Star Crystal hanging on the pendant...

Want to punch a hole in the wall with a revolver?

Seeing Miss Jila's lack of common sense, I quickly stopped her.

"Wait a minute, that's a load-bearing wall of the building! It's reinforced with steel! Forcibly demolishing it will create safety hazards, especially in a high-rise building like ours... I know someone who can help with this, but you'd better not do it."

This job sounds simple, but it's not something everyone can do.

However, if it's Metal, modifying a wall without compromising its load-bearing capacity shouldn't be too difficult.

I called Miss Metal.

We exchanged contact information when we were at the Steel Dragon Machine Workshop.

"You need to open a door in a load-bearing wall? No problem, I 'Past there before work tomorrow. Remember to send me the address."

"Hmm? Going to work?"

So Metal has a job in addition to being a magical girl?

Is it about assisting the Association with its research?

"Oh, you didn't know? I have a small shop on the shopping street. I say it's a job, but it's not really to make money. It's just to enrich my life. Miluno should know about it. How about she brings you over next time?"

Given Miss Metal's area of responsibility, the "commercial street" she mentioned should refer to the Commercial District of C4 Area.

"You're busy inventing things at the factory, assisting the Association research, and even managing a shop. You're really busy!"

"Hmm, we magical girls don't get old, so we need to keep ourselves busy to feel fulfilled, otherwise life would be so boring! I'll hang up now, see you tomorrow~"

"See you tomorrow."

By the time I finished the call, Miss Jila had already gone back to the living room.

Yezi and her mother, one holding a broom and the other a rag, were cleaning together.

The house was indeed a bit dirty, and cleaning was definitely necessary, but their unspoken coordination made me feel a little... uneasy.

"Ceruno."

Heat Haze called out to me, but Yezi and her mother simultaneously stopped cleaning...

Am I being too sensitive?

I always felt like they were hiding something from me.

"What's up?"

"We've got a place to stay, but we also need to buy some necessities. I'm planning to go out with her. Do you want to come along? It'll be easier to carry things if you're here, and I also need to go back to 'Matchbox' after we're done shopping. If you're here, you can help Jila carry her things back."

My Bubble Magic is really good for moving things.

Furthermore, she seems genuinely bothered by the small size of her room...

"Excuse me, how big is your house?"

"Nine pings, uh, about twenty-seven square meters."

Wow! It's so small!

It's about the same size as my bedroom, no wonder I couldn't help my friend who came from afar; this is definitely not a space for two people to live in.

But does Skyreach City even have apartments this small?

"I understand, I'll go with you... Do Yezi and her mother want to come along? We can have lunch together..."

Heat Haze also asked, "Sister Yuehan, are you also going to buy something?"

The mother shook her head.

"No, I need to live here for a while longer before I know what I'm lacking."

"Those Yezi..."

Before Yezi could say anything, Heat Haze pushed me towards the outer door.

"Alright, now it's the women's time, no need for boys to participate!"

Only I can activate the Teleportation Halo; Yezi, Mother, and Golden are no longer fit to stay on this side.

So before I got back, they had to stop the deep cleaning and go back to Yezi's living room to rest for a while.

"I'm taking Ceruno with me. I'll probably be back after dinner."

As Heat Haze spoke, he dragged me out the door completely.

Um, does it really take this long to buy some daily necessities?

All the energy that couldn't be released while in the hospital has been building up today, and Heat Haze is showing a very positive attitude.

Or perhaps this is just who she always was?

Aggression like fire

They said they were going to buy daily necessities, but ended up wandering into the Old Subway Commercial Street.

This isn't a place to buy small general merchandise.

"The guest rooms have all the appliances, so buying some pots, pans, and other kitchenware would be fine, right?"

Heat Haze shook his head at my suggestion.

"That won't do! Today isn't just about shopping, it's also about celebrating my discharge from the hospital, right? I can buy the daily necessities anytime, but..."

Heat Haze reached out and lifted my bangs, a gesture that made me feel embarrassed, and I shrank back.

"... But the chance to personally transform you into a girl is rare, Jila, you'd better lend me a hand!"

With her other hand, she took out her makeup bag.

I should have expected this.

When Heat Haze was lying dead in her hospital bed, she kept encouraging me to become more feminine. Now that she's out of bed, she'll naturally take it even further.

"Okay!"

Miss Jila, hailing from the warm and open Hawaii, had absolutely no resistance to physical contact. At Heat Haze's call, she grabbed me from behind, her soft yet firm breasts pressing against my back. I immediately hesitated to move, my legs even feeling a little weak...

Her perfume smells so strong!

Heat Haze painted my face with its own artistry, while Jila looked down at me.

He also asked, "Ceruno, how old are you?"

Seventeen.

"I'm not asking about your age, I'm asking about your bra size?"

They actually asked this without any hesitation.

Is it really normal for girls to know each other's bra sizes?

But guys wouldn't openly ask their friend's oregano size... right?

Well, I don't have any other friends besides Yezi, so I'm not entirely sure.

I thought for a moment and answered softly, "If I haven't gained weight recently... I'd be around 30E."

"What?! A 30E?!"

Because she was shocked that the person who uttered her native language was Heat Haze, her expression immediately turned into a mixture of jealousy and resentment, almost as if she wanted to punch me in the chest.

I explained quietly, "I didn't want to be this big... When Yezi forced me to go for a morning run, it would stretch and hurt a lot, and my shoulders would ache..."

"Ceruno, saying things like that in front of Heat Haze will only make her more envious and jealous, won't it?"

As Jila said this, she reached out and patted my chest again.

"Are you wearing regular underwear when you go for your morning run?"

"Huh? Hmm."

"No wonder, looks like I have one more thing to buy today."

Miss Jila pulled down her round neckline, revealing a form-fitting undergarment that resembled a tight vest.

Purple.

He then explained, "This is called a sports bra. You absolutely must wear this when you go for a morning run, otherwise your breasts will become loose and saggy, eventually looking like a waterlogged vest!"

Horse, vest bag?
