Can't Extract It

(Miluno)

"Yes! Yes!"

He used his beloved wife to tempt the little thing, and she reluctantly chose a Base Body.

"Let's take this one."

She chose one... with big breasts.

"Hey, you pervert."

I was also mercilessly mocked by Aldebaran because of this.

Shouldering this Base Body that somewhat resembled Ceruno, I opened the interdimensional teleportation portal.

I'm leaving now.

Oh! I'll come visit again another day!

Back at the Wormhole Laboratory, SpiCa was no longer there, but Yin Wei Fenghua were still waiting for me.

Fenghua has been in charge of security for the branch.

The taciturn magical girl nodded at me.

Yin Wei then pointed to the Base Body I was carrying on my shoulder.

"Miluno, is that Aldebaran? It doesn't look like the rumors."

"No, this is just an empty shell of Magical Girl Soldiers. Aldebaran wasn't kidnapped, but she offered some terms in exchange. I need to talk to SpiCa."

Yin Wei adjusted her glasses.

"SpiCa is in a meeting at headquarters and won't be back for the time being."

What time is it now?

"It was 6 PM on the 30th. You've been inside for over a day this time."

That's long.

Starting from Fomalhaut's base, they passed through the Betelgeuse's Great Crater and then attempted to sneak into the tower of Aldebaran.

The journey took longer than I expected.

"Then I'll come back tonight. Oh, here's the logbook for this operation."

"Yes, I'll tell her."

He took the record card from the helmet and handed it to Yin Wei.

I changed out of my protective suit and reopened the teleportation portal back to the "Zodiacal" dormitory.

"Miluno? You're back!"

It landed right in front of Ceruno.

"Sister Miluno."

"Oh! Sister Miluno! Hug me!"

Xiaoling and Xiaojie also joined in.

"Woof!"

This is Doggy.

Everyone gathered around to offer their concern, but in reality, there wasn't any dangerous battle on the Other Side. It was only thanks to the little thing interfering with the surveillance that Aldebaran didn't have to put on an act; otherwise, she would probably have racked her brains to find a way to send me back.

Looking at it this way, it's clear I did owe her a favor before.

Xiaojie tugged at my sleeve and pointed to the Base Body I had brought back on my shoulder, asking, "Sister Miluno, what is this slutty body?"

"Children shouldn't use vulgar language."

I pinched her nose and pulled it forward, then explained:

"Well, this is for SpiCa's Witch Persona."

Let's tell them about the little one after the little one is moved.

Ceruno then said:

"Brought it back from the Other Side? You're getting better and better at stealing!"

Why do you make me sound like a thief?

But this time it wasn't stolen; it was delivered by Aldebaran.

"Oh, right!"

Ceruno pulled out her phone and tossed it to me.

There was a news article on my phone.

She explained, "While you were away, Sirius and I dealt with a Witch Domain. The Dark Energy of the domain has been contained by the Association. Do you want to absorb it?"

Did a witch invade while I was away?

Minsk Cathedral.

"Wait, who is this magical girl with glowing hair?"

In the news footage, standing next to Celius is an unfamiliar magical girl. Is she a local magical girl from Minsk, fighting alongside Celius?

"That's Heat Haze..."

Ceruno was halfway through her sentence when I exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Heat Haze? Her Crystal has evolved again?"

"No, let me finish. She's a combination of Heat Haze and Falcon, and she calls herself Phoenix."

"Two magical girls can combine?"

"Yes, this is a major discovery for Heat Haze."

Ceruno explained it to me.

As magical girls' compatibility with Crystal increases, they can influence Crystal in turn, making it easier for them to fuse with other magical girls compared to unowned Crystal...

That sounds plausible, but it's still quite surreal when it actually happens.

"So, which of the two women has the dominant consciousness?"

Ceruno pouted and replied, puzzled:

"It's hard to say, the boundaries are very blurred. They all feel that they are the ones in control, but they don't disagree on how to act."

This is indeed quite bizarre. It means that after merging, they become indistinguishable, and can even use each other's magic?

In this respect, it is even better than merging with Sirius, since "Milius" cannot emit lasers from his eyes.

No, now is not the time to talk about that.

"Then I'll go out again and be back before dinner."

After giving the Golden's dog head a good rub, I picked up the empty Base Body again.

"We haven't prepared dinner either... so what are we going to do now?"

"Deliver goods."

"Huh? Didn't you just come back from the branch?"

"I forgot just now."

Although the teleportation channel was opened, he actually carried the Base Body to the dormitory next door.

Jaeger was hunched over his desk organizing some documents when he noticed my teleportation portal and looked up.

"Miluno, are you back?"

Her tone was very friendly when she greeted us.

I'm not sure if her brainwashing has been lifted, but she seems to enjoy this peaceful daily life.

What are you writing?

"Although they are all high-speed or flying magic, each student's magic nature is different. I feel that training with the same reaction is not suitable for everyone, and I want to develop different targeted training programs for each student."

"So much effort?"

My teaching assistant made me feel so ashamed.

"Actually, there aren't many, since there are relatively few students in the Mobility Class; there have only been seventeen since the start of the semester."

Although the population of the City School is gradually increasing, the number of students in the Mobility Class has not increased significantly, and this type of magic is still a minority among magical girls.

"I need your help with something. Will you come with me to the Control Tower?"

She glanced at the Base Body in my hand and understood what I meant.

"You want to transfer your Witch Persona into this Base Body?"

When Jaeger asked this, the little thing seemed a bit reluctant, looking like it wanted to say something but hesitated in front of me.

But I nodded anyway.

"Yes, I think this is a good choice for both of us."

Jaeger, however, said, "She wasn't injected through a device; she's a personality that naturally developed within you. In other words... she's not an intruder to your body; she's also Natives."

"I didn't say I hate her, but two completely different personalities living in one body... that's still too strange."

My words made the little thing a bit listless.

"I understand, if you insist on doing it this way..."

Follow me to the Control Tower, Jaeger activated the capsule and had me lie down inside.

The little thing didn't say a word, just clung to the glass of the cabin door, looking at me with a face full of unhappiness.

"I'm sorry, but I still..."

Thump--

Before the apology could be finished, the capsule containing the small device emitted a terrible creak and went silent.

Then, Jaeger opened the hatch.

"What happened?"

A black line connects me to the machine.

"It's too large to be completely extracted... Your Witch Persona seems to be bound to the part of your Crystal that belongs to the Great Will."

Small things and darkness are inextricably linked.

So the capsule can locate her, but it can't extract her.

This result emboldened the little guy.

"Ha! I knew nothing could separate us!"

I glanced at the Base Body beside the cabin.

If the personality isn't installed soon, the Base Body itself will decay...

"Then let's put the part that was pulled out in first."
