Roommates

(Ceruno)

The common areas of the 2+2 dormitory are basically the living room and the kitchen.

Although the space isn't large, it's fully furnished with all kinds of furniture and appliances. The distance between the sofa and the TV is perfect for playing video games, so I didn't hesitate to pull out my game console...

Although I've taken it out, I've recently become increasingly uninterested in video games. I only watch videos of new games online and have no desire to play them in person.

Is it because she's become a girl?

"Quanyin- nee, who lives next door?"

I asked Ms. Thunderous Resonance, who was leaning against the sofa with her arms outstretched.

"The room next door is still empty. Who do you want to call over? We can still change dorms now... um."

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of figures carrying large and small bags squeezed through the doorway; they were magical girls he had never seen before.

The combination of one tall and one short is somewhat similar to Miluno and me.

The tall magical girl standing at the back wore a headband, revealing a broad forehead. Her medium-length, dark brown hair cascaded down her back. Despite her exquisite height, figure, and features, she appeared somewhat insecure and dejected. At this moment, she kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with us, and even tried to hide behind her companions...

Her personality is a bit like mine back then. She's even taller Miluno, so how could someone so eye-catching possibly hide it!

The short magical girl in front was more outgoing, always wearing a cheerful smile that revealed a set of white teeth. Her short black hair was tinged with red, making her look like a protagonist from an anime who fights with a single pair of scissors.

As soon as she entered the house, she greeted us familiarly, "Oh my! It's so lively here. Is it already full?"

I have absolutely no recollection of them, so it's almost certain they're not from Skyreach City.

Thunderous Resonance pointed to the empty double room and replied, "This room is still empty, but it's already booked."

"Reservation? The registration staff didn't mention that."

"We have acquaintances who want to stay together. There's a vacant room next door on the fourth floor, which is the same 2+2 combination as these two. Shall I go to the registration office for you?"

The tall magical girl whispered, "Uh, that wouldn't be right. We can go ourselves."

"We've caused you trouble, there's no reason for us to let you run away. Where are you from? What are your names? I'll go ask you!"

Miss Thunderous Resonance is always full of enthusiasm.

"We're both from the Imperial City!"

"Oh! A young lady from the capital?"

A magical girl from the capital...

There are also many magical girls over there, so it's understandable that there would be an excess of magical girls being recruited.

"My name is Decomposer!"

The short "Decomposer" then pointed to the tall, grieving woman behind him.

"She is Extinction."

Extinction...

"You two aren't some kind of witches, are you? Your names, as magical girls, sound like they belong to villains..."

The name "Extinction," in particular, carries at least the rank of a high-ranking official if it were used against the other side.

"My magic can dismantle anything, and even the removed parts can continue to function normally for a period of time. For example..."

The magical girl who called herself the Decomposer reached out and grabbed her own eye, then removed it in the form of a rectangular block.

There is no flesh or blood in the cross-section.

The removed eye blinked in her hand... it was a little disgusting.

"... Like this, no matter what kind of enemy I encounter, I can break it into pieces. However, there are conditions for activating this magic, and I can't just cut it whenever I want. But it's very casual with myself, and there's no time limit."

She didn't specify the conditions for activating the magic, but the ability was undeniably powerful... even somewhat villainous.

"And what about Miss Extinction?"

"Weakening Touch, a magic that drains the enemy's strength and ultimately kills them."

As the Decomposer explained, Miss Extinction even summoned some dark tentacles to surround herself... This is practically a villain! How eerie!

"My name was given to me by the Decomposer."

She seemed shy about the name.

"I just made a contract with the Star Crystal a week ago, and I came here right on time because there was a training session for new magical girls. The Decomposer... she's a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

I can see that.

The short magical girl retorted, "Huh? I'm not a chuunibyou! I am a chuunibyou! I'm a second-year middle school student!"

I understand.

He's a middle school kid in his second year, but also a chuunibyou with a wicked, mischievous look.

When these individuals become magical girls, their physical age is suddenly increased, but their mental age does not grow as a result.

"Is Miss Extinction also a middle school student?"

The latter was even more embarrassed by this question.

"No, I... I've already been accepted into university."

University student, right? Miluno must be in university too, right?

The Decomposer stood proudly with its hands on its hips.

"Extinction is my... sister!"

The Thunderous Resonance was quite unexpected.

"Oh my? Two sisters?"

"Mmm! My love!"

Sisters?

Not really. Magical girls always have their own unique appearances, so it's normal for the sisters not to look alike...

Miluno suggested, "If you don't know anyone else, why don't you stay here? We're magical girls from Skyreach City. Although we'd like to stay with people we know, even acquaintances can't fill an entire building. Compared to foreign magical girls who don't speak the language, at least it'll be easier for you to get along."

"R-Really?! We haven't been magical girls for very long! None of the seniors we know have come to this outrageous school... Thank you so much!"

Despite the noise, the Decomposer girl was at least polite.

"Miluno's pretty sensible! Then I don't need to go to the registration desk!"

Thunderous Resonance scratched his head and took the large and small bags from Extinction's hands.

"Here, I'll take it inside for you!"

"It's alright, we can carry it..."

"You're welcome!"

So, Miluno and I were set up as roommates: two newly arrived magical girl sisters from the Imperial City. It's quite rare to find two magical girl sisters like this, and I'm very interested in knowing more about them.

Then, Falcon arrived.

"Oh, you already have a roommate?"

She glanced at the rooms of the Decomposer and the Extinction, then added, "Heat Haze and I live on the second floor! Right below your room, so it's quite convenient to visit each other!"

For me, I can teleport anywhere in the entire building.

"Heat Haze in the house too?"

"No, Xiao Yi dragged her to do chores."

She's already a working professional.

"By the way, although it's flying in the sky, there's a signal on City School. Just call us if anything happens."

Making a phone call over the Pacific Ocean, wouldn't that be considered a long-distance call?

The only room assignment left is the Golden.

However, she doesn't plan to find a dormitory; it only allows me and Miluno to live together. Anyway, there are two beds, so it's not a problem to cuddle with it every night...

"Woof!"

"Wow! Where did this dog come from!?"

Miss Extinction's screams echoed from the next bedroom.

"Wait! Give that back to me!"

The Golden rushed out of the house, carrying a silk bag in its mouth.

Several deep purple energy tentacles chased after it, but it nimbly dodged them, finally handing the bag to Miluno, who had just come out of the bedroom.

"Huh? What is it?"

Miluno, unaware of what was happening, simply emptied the contents of the bag...

Yes, a soft, folded triangle of fabric.

Miluno, holding the Golden by the scruff of its neck with one hand, escorted it to Miss Extinction to apologize.

Most magical girls need to catch up on their academic studies.

But our Doggy still needs to learn how to behave like a human.
