What Did Mi See? Mi

(Miluno)

Liu and SpiCa will arrange what to do with the Rubber Magical Girl. Perhaps she will regain her memories from her human days and reunite with her family, or perhaps she will still be destined to become a lab rat, or perhaps she will be taken to mass-produce oil to generate revenue for the Association.

But none of this concerns me, and I have little interest in her.

However, Stratos was assigned to me by SpiCa, and I also questioned this arrangement:

"Why? Shouldn't someone as talented as her be staying in a research institute?"

This is a skilled technical talent I went through a lot to recruit, and he deserves to be valued.

SpiCa replied:

"There's no place for her in the branch. Take her to the 'Zodiacal' Engine Department to report to Metal. Let her get used to life at the City School for a few days. After a while, I'll arrange for her to meet Hephaestus, and then we'll see if she needs any equipment."

There's no place for her here...

I understand what SpiCa means. The terrorist attack on Betelgeuse hasn't been long Past, and the researchers hate "the Other Side" to the core. Even Achernar I can't stay here anymore, which is why Sirius transferred me to the prison.

Liu doesn't care; as an infiltration weapon, his appearance is no different from a human's, and he can even disguise himself as a magical girl by changing into women's clothing. But Stratos is different.

She was neither good at nor inclined to lie about her identity. Most importantly, she had two fleshy horns protruding from her bangs—who didn't know that horns were a characteristic of witches and Magical Girl Soldiers?

It's impossible to Past.

SpiCa didn't want to provoke the researchers' sensitivities, so she simply put Stratos in a place inaccessible to most people, letting her slowly work out her research.

"Well--"

Ceruno sighed sadly.

They seem powerless to resolve this intractable conflict.

Back at the City School, I arranged for Stratos to become Jaeger's roommate, which would also allow Jaeger to do some persuasion work on her.

As for my original roommate, the Doggy...

Since she doesn't like sleeping in her own bed anyway, she might as well continue to be its mascot.

Although it was lunchtime, there was no time to prepare lunch, so Ceruno went to the food street in front of the Materials Distribution Center to pack some and bring it back. That area had become a unique tourist attraction in the Zodiacal, and it was bustling with activity every day at mealtimes.

"After we eat, I'll take you to see where you'll be working."

Seeing Stratos sitting silently on the sofa, I asked again:

"What's wrong?"

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing."

He was thinking about something.

She snapped out of her thoughts and asked:

"Miluno, how do you humans plan to defeat us?"

Hey, you're asking such sensitive and pointed questions right off the bat. Don't you even know how to proceed gradually when trying to get information out of me?

This research-obsessed woman couldn't hide her thoughts; she's definitely not cut out to be a spy.

"What? You're trying to tip off 'the Other Side'?"

Her expression changed slightly when I exposed her thoughts, but she quickly shook her head and denied it:

"How could that be? The 'Supreme Council' only wants to use me as a scapegoat, Aldebaran is my mortal enemy. Who else could I possibly inform?"

I sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite her and said:

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? You still have someone you can contact, and that person has many informants here. As long as you're willing, he'll definitely find a way to contact you, and maybe even get you back and exonerate you in the 'Supreme Council'."

She froze, clearly taken aback by what I had just said.

"As for your difficult question, I don't have the answer. After all, I'm just a super soldier, and strategic matters are not within my scope of consideration. Perhaps SpiCa will bring this up with you after you've achieved some success here."

Of course, I don't think SpiCa would easily trust Stratos. That guy is also full of bad intentions. Luckily, he's not an enemy, otherwise, not to mention anything else, his magic alone would be very troublesome.

SpiCa welcomed Stratos because she needed a leading scientific figure to spearhead the project.

But to entrust someone with your trust, time is needed to put that trust to the test.

"I'll go back to my room first. It's lunch break now. You can go next door to see Jaeger and get familiar with the room... Oh, maybe you two even know each other."

Stratos hesitated for a moment, then stood up.

"Oh! Then I'll lead the way!"

"Wow!?"

The Golden, which was lying on the sofa, suddenly transformed into human form, startling the scientist.

"This girl is also an experimental product of Aldebaran. Her Artificial Crystal and appearance are modeled after Aldebaran himself. By the way, Aldebaran calls her his daughter."

"Daughter? Another experimental subject? That girl just throws experimental subjects around like that?"

Hello! I look forward to working with you in the future!

The Golden was quite enthusiastic, but Stratos clearly didn't like the Doggy that looked like its rival.

But she still went next door with the Doggy.

I hurried back to my bedroom.

Like a Bluetooth speaker connected to a phone, Mono sat bolt upright on the bed.

"Okay, I have a body now!!"

It's so noisy.

"In order not to reveal my presence, I didn't bring my body to the 'The Other Side,' and as a result, I couldn't move around freely all morning. I was quite uncomfortable!"

"You were reluctant when you were asked to choose the Base Body?"

"That's because I don't want to leave you! Miluno, how can you not understand my deep affection for you—ooh!!"

Mono awkwardly leaned closer, but I grabbed his head with one hand and slammed him onto the bed.

Even though her face was pressed against the bed and she couldn't speak, she could still complain in my head.

"Miluno, you're being way too rough with her!"

Since you claim to be my Witch Persona, then I can do whatever I want with my belongings, right?

"I'm going to file a complaint against you with the animal protection Association!"

Are we going to a place like that?

The Magical Girl Soldiers's physical Base Body was quite different from mine. She couldn't outmaneuver me, so she writhed on the bed for a while and then gave up resisting.

"We surrender!"

"Tell me first, can you see what's happening on Aldebaran's side?"

"Please wait a moment."

She sat up, closing her eyes as if sensing something.

"Oh! I can actually see it!"

Using the encapsulated batteries on my belt, I left a few "Demon Eye" in Aldebaran's research institute, which was also the reason why I walked around after talking with Aldebaran.

Since the Demon Eye released by Mono is visible and tangible, there's no need to hide it anymore.

The dormitory floor for Magical Girl Soldiers is filled with decorations and toys. The magical eyeballs, placed among them, don't seem out of place. If no one notices them, it's a good opportunity to test the Demon Eye's endurance.

"Wait, one's been picked up!"

Mono suddenly screamed.

Tsk, I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly?

"Hehe! This pure white... tsk tsk... Magical Girl Soldiers too... wow! And such a big Base Body!"

It's unclear what she saw, but a disgusting, insane smile appeared on her face.

What did you see?

After hearing such murmurs, it would be a lie to say I didn't care.

But the little thing did not answer.

She simply raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a lewd yet undeniably obscene smile...

Damn it, why can't I read the contents of her head?

Is this fair?
