Magical Girls' Vacation - SpiCa

"Spica! How dare you cut off my microphone?"

The high-level meeting had just ended when an enraged Sirius cornered SpiCa against the wall in his office.

"Sirius, you're as showy as a certain American president. If you were allowed to speak freely, this meeting would turn into your personal speech."

The latter was well aware of Sirius's abilities; although it was a simulated personality created by the Star Crystal, it was extremely adept at manipulating people's hearts.

If she gets to speak, I will inevitably lose my voice.

"Your plan is too dangerous, can't even I object? The Association isn't yours!"

"Listen, I won't let the children die in vain. I'll only send out reconnaissance teams when the risks are manageable."

"We know very little about 'the Other Side,' so there's no such thing as a 'controllable risk'! That argument doesn't convince me. And who are you planning to send to their death, Miluno- chan?"

"I'm prepared to lead the team myself."

"... ha?"

A look of surprise flashed across Sirius's large eyes, which he then rejected.

"No! You can't go!"

"Let me take this responsibility, Sirius."

"'The Legend of the Seven'... Of all those people who are called that, only you and I are still magical girls! Are you really planning to leave me alone to die?"

"Don't say that, I have no intention of dying."

SpiCa looked down to the side.

"As a staff officer, I can only offer advice if I have a clear understanding of the situation. Communication will inevitably be cut off during this reconnaissance, and I will be completely in the dark here... If I had gone with Past seven years ago, maybe I could have changed something."

"Don't overestimate yourself! Chief of Staff, you were just a primary school teacher in a rural school back then!?"

Sirius interrupted SpiCa.

She looked displeased and pinned SpiCa against the wall by pressing her shoulders.

"You are indeed skilled at deduction and shrewd in battle, more than capable of serving as a squad advisor—that's your strength. But your vision is too narrow; when it comes to developing grand strategies, you might not even be as far-sighted as A-Ji! That's your weakness. And your biggest flaw is your inability to handle unexpected situations. Once things spiral out of your control, you'll fall into considerable chaos!"

Such disputes have occurred frequently over the Past few years, so SpiCa was not angry.

He simply replied, "See, you said I'm more than qualified to be a squad advisor, so why not make me the captain of the reconnaissance squad?"

"..."

Sirius's expression twisted slightly. SpiCa continued, "Sirius, humanity... we're running out of time. 'The Other Side' is intensifying its offensive. A-Ji wants to end the war as quickly as possible. The proportion of darkness is also constantly rising. There are no longer any risk-free strategies."

"Can't I lead the team?"

"No, reconnaissance isn't about skill, it's about a cool head. So, I'm a better candidate than you."

When Sirius couldn't think of a rebuttal, SpiCa gently pushed her away from him.

"I know my limits. You can point out anything I'm doing wrong at any time, but please listen to me first, okay?"

SpiCa's tone was also less forceful than before, Sirius with no choice but to compromise.

"I don't want to repeat the same mistake."

"I understand, nobody wants to relive the tragedy of seven years ago."

SpiCa pulled a folder from the office bookshelf and handed it to Sirius.

"Take a look at this plan, Sirius. To address the issue of an overabundance of magical girl combat power, and to strengthen the abilities of the new generation of magical girls, I specially commissioned this project... No, that's not quite right. It should be described as a project that has already been completed."

What are you planning to do now?

"Sirius, after we resolve the threat on the Other Side and after I retire, I want to go back to Esperia and continue being a teacher."

"Your topic has jumped a bit. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

SpiCa laughed and said, "Because this plan is going to be implemented ahead of schedule."

Sirius raised an eyebrow suspiciously before opening the folder in his hand.

"... Are you planning to start a school?"

Sirius was taken aback by the documents in his hand.

"A special school for magical girls, providing job opportunities for veteran magical girls, practical training for new magical girls, and even specialized academic courses for magical girls who want to attend school but don't have the opportunity... At the same time, this school will also serve as a base for special forces."

"It's a 'special magical girl idol group'!!"

With his hands on his hips, Sirius loudly corrected her, then muttered to himself, "Ahem, this name is a bit long. Maybe we should decide on a team name soon... I'll call Ceruno and the others over in a couple of days to discuss it... What should we call the school?"

"Putting the name aside for now, what's your opinion of this school?"

"What do you think? It looks like I'll have to spend a lot of money again."

"No need. I've already allocated it from the budget. The current investment of 15 billion is just a negligible expense for you, right?"

Sirius looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Do you think I'm a money-printing machine? Most of my income already goes to support the Association's operations!"

"Hey, stop with the Versailles nonsense. Your complaints about being broke are giving me a blood pressure spike. Besides, funding isn't the obstacle to this plan; the real problems are teachers and students. Where are we going to find magical girl teachers or students willing to live together in a group? How are we going to arrange their courses and studies? How are we going to conceal their original identities...?"

Sirius reached out as if to stop him.

"Alright, so you're saying this because you'd planned it all along, right?"

Sirius also understands SpiCa.

She will only bring up a matter after she has thoroughly considered it within her own understanding.

Since she was showing herself the business plan, she was confident that she could successfully establish the school.

"Starting a school is indeed a good idea. Please explain the plan in detail."

Sirius became interested, but SpiCa said, "The details are all in the documents. Take them back and take a look first, then we can discuss it later... How's the reconstruction of your Hawaii island going?"

The question here concerns the Nabu Island Manor, which was destroyed by Betelgeuse.

"Huh? As for Nabu Island, construction hasn't started yet."

This is something Sirius can start at any time, so there's no rush.

"That's perfect, let Melissa and the others take care of the students."

"Hey, you're planning to conscript my maid?"

"But they have nowhere to go now, don't they?"

"Huh? Nowhere to go? You're underestimating my global assets?"

Sirius retorted in an exaggerated tone, but still said, "She is indeed very good at taking care of people, and she can take care of dogs too... but I'll ask her opinion first."

Thank you.

SpiCa thanked them.

"So, one last question: would you like to be the principal?"

"... ha?!"

Sirius had no idea that SpiCa would bestow this title upon him.

"Don't you want to be a good person? What about your ideals?"

"Oh, I just want to be a teacher."

"I'm already overwhelmed with the affairs of the Association president!"

"That's true, but didn't you delegate most of the work to Yin Wei? Making ordinary people toil day and night... you'll be hanging from a lamppost!"

"No, most of it is still done by me... wait!"

Sirius suddenly thought of something.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"As for the principal, don't we have a very free young lady here who can fill in?"
