Delivering the Message

(Miluno)

Use teleportation magic to return to the Sky Branch.

This time I came with Ceruno. The little thing that was originally just in my head has now become a thing (Mono).

"What are you talking about! I'm still inside your head!"

The little thing kicked my forehead, and Mono's hands were pushing against my cheeks.

That's right. I thought getting rid of her would give me some peace and quiet, but now she's causing me trouble in both my mind and reality at the same time, turning it into double the trouble.

I'm so tired of losing.

"Stop fooling around, can you even see what's going on inside the dorm?"

Mono closed his eyes and answered:

"Yes, I can see... Xiaojie is watching TV on the sofa, Xiaoling is cutting an apple and a rabbit in the kitchen... The apple pieces fell on the floor and were eaten by the Doggy."

"Your magic is quite powerful, isn't it? This is global surveillance... although drones combined with the internet can also do that."

Mono was not satisfied with the magic of this Base Body.

"Besides, the Demon Eye breaks with the slightest touch; who can it monitor?"

But if this Demon Eye can still see the "The Other Side" after I return, then it will be useful.

"You wouldn't be thinking of spying on Aldebaran, would you?"

Of course, next Past I'll try finding a secluded corner.

"Even if it works, she'll only show us what she wants us to see. I think that woman is a bad person."

Aren't you a bad thing too?

"I'm a good thing!"

Finally, they admitted they were something.

"Whoa!!!"

When she couldn't win an argument, she would start yelling and throwing tantrums, even punching my chest with her little fists.

Ceruno observed my interaction with Mono from the side, and after a long while, she asked:

"Why is only Mono speaking? Do you have telepathy?"

I explained truthfully:

"It's one-sided. I don't know what this little thing is thinking."

"Eh... I also want to hear Miluno's true feelings..."

Why is she suddenly envious?

Knocking on SpiCa's office door, Chris Kenway, whom I had met once before, answered.

Good evening, Miss Chris.

"Miluno... Ceruno is here too, then who is this one?"

"Let her be my Witch Persona."

"Um?"

The blonde, blue-eyed woman raised an eyebrow, her gaze towards Mono becoming wary, and her hand moved closer to the rapier at her waist, but she still opened the door and let us in.

"Hmm, I have a feeling that if I move too much, I'll get chopped down..."

The little Mono in his head muttered to himself.

However, it's also understandable that after what happened to SpiCa recently, Chris is now responsible for her personal safety, and we have to be wary of witches and the like.

SpiCa was still hunched over her desk, and even with her witch-like physique, she couldn't hide her exhaustion, but she still smiled at us.

"Miluno, Ceruno ..."

She looked at Mono and paused, then I introduced myself:

"Mono, she's the Witch Persona I mentioned before."

SpiCa didn't say much about that, and went straight to the point.

"So, what agreement do you have with Aldebaran?"

Most of her communications with Aldebaran were conducted without her wearing the "Ghost" combat suit, so the conditions she proposed are not recorded in the combat logs.

"Have you looked at the records?" I asked.

"Yes, but not entirely."

She pushed the computer over.

The video above is from my last operation. Because I wasn't recording while wearing the protective suit, the footage is quite fragmented.

Let's talk about two other things to keep in mind first...

"First of all, this one."

The Betelgeuse in the distance.

I dragged the camera to a view that would give a more direct sense of the size of the crater.

"This is a huge crater caused by Antimatter Annihilation Bomb, and what's worse... the Other Side already has the capability to launch such bombs at Earth."

SpiCa frowned deeply.

If such a powerful bomb were to fall anywhere on Earth, it would cause immense casualties, and the Corruption Rate would rise dramatically.

I continued:

"However, from what I overheard Fomalhaut and Aldebaran, these bombs seem to be non-reproducible. Perhaps there's a way to destroy them all at once."

But this needs further consideration, because I don't even know where those cowards in the Supreme Council are hiding...

SpiCa nodded.

"I will report this to higher authorities. Anything else?"

I continued dragging the video.

"And then there's this."

After passing through the Betelgeuse, I encountered Aldebaran's spraying squad. I paused the video on these Monster Soldiers.

"Aldebaran has also developed a new chemical weapon, Magic Suppressant. This gas is non-toxic, colorless, and odorless, and harmless to ordinary people, but it is extremely effective against magical girls. Being in it will make the flow of magic difficult, and most magic will become ineffective."

Ceruno asked, "Including my bubble and Mom's invisibility?"

"Yuehan's invisibility magic will definitely fail, but it's uncertain about your bubble. This time, the gas wasn't filtered, causing the Magic Supply System itself to malfunction... Although Aldebaran uses this for defense, it's also dangerous to use in battle. After all, witches can still use Dark Energy, and magical girls are nothing without magic."

Although I still have the confidence to tear apart ordinary Magical Girl Soldiers with my bare hands, I am not an ordinary magical girl after all, so I cannot be generalized.

SpiCa's eyebrows were furrowed and knotted together.

"This thing is really troublesome, is there any solution?"

"The only solution I can think of... is to get those lazy witches on the island to work for us."

Fight witches with witches, fight darkness with darkness.

"Me too!"

Mono volunteered to step forward, but I pressed him back behind me.

"These are merely the discoveries of this trip. What I truly want to discuss is the exchange condition that Aldebaran has proposed to you."

"Exchange?"

SpiCa is smoothing her eyebrows.

"Yes, she wants to use the technology of the Witch Domain to exchange for Betelgeuse, Viktorika, and Regil. That's the condition she offered me."

I still haven't told SpiCa that Aldebaran is an ally.

After all, it's still uncertain whether she's an ally; she's definitely plotting something different from Sun Ji's plan, but who would benefit from that plan?

That remains to be seen.

"Okay, I agree."

SpiCa didn't think about it for long.

"Give her the people, take the technology, and exchange three witches for the possibility of a permanent solution. It's not a bad deal."

And her reply was exactly as Aldebaran had predicted.

"She has another request... but it's not a condition for exchange; she wants us to provide the service for free."

"What?"

"She hopes we won't take the Magical Girl Soldiers' lives, that we'll spare them if possible. She seems to care a lot about those... children?"

"Oh? She still has some humanity?"

"She might have other motives."

Upon hearing this, SpiCa nodded and added:

"It's alright. Send Magical Girl Soldiers that can be rendered powerless to Nabu Island Prison as well, but show no mercy to those who resist to the death."

At a rate of two Magical Girl Soldiers per day, the prison will be full in no time.

"Oh, Ceruno."

SpiCa then looked at Ceruno.

"There's bad news about the Cross Witch you defeated at noon... her Simulacrum Factor has also Goldification."

While I was away, yet another witch from the "Supreme Council" was killed by Aldebaran, and the "Supreme Council" will only assume that we were the ones who killed her...

That's ruthless.

Is this also part of her plan?
