The Truth - Mi

(Miluno)

What is that?

The Humanoid Aggregate floating in front of the school gate possessed the most chilling and oppressive force to date. Even though it wasn't looking in our direction at all, cold sweat still soaked its back.

We can't win.

The thought arose the moment I saw it.

Did I just say I'd rather face the final boss than become a mother by accident?

I regret it.

In comparison, the soft, cuddly baby girl in my arms is much cuter. Having a daughter is wonderful; I could easily have a dozen more.

"Miluno, look over there!"

Mono pointed to the distant Shuttle Tower, its top gleaming with black light...

I know "black light" sounds strange, but it's true. The light echoes the aggregate of darkness, and there's clearly a connection between them.

"Aldebaran should remain at the top of the tower."

SpiCa frowned and asked, "Was it that guy's doing again this time?"

"Hmm, most likely..."

They even said they sneaked over to help us clean up the mess. Pshaw, they just wanted to create a huge problem so they could come and cause trouble, right?

If this can't cure the aggregates, then I can certainly cure you!

"SpiCa, I'm going to the Shuttle Tower. Could you look after this kid for me... Hey, stop messing around!"

Just as I was about to hand her to SpiCa, the little girl turned into fluid and clung to me again, shouting loudly:

"Mommy, Mommy!"

"Alright, alright... Sigh, she's probably scared because she was almost sucked away just now. I'll take her with me then."

"Yes, as soon as possible."

I started running towards the Shuttle Tower.

At first, I was worried that the child would be left behind as the speed increased, but once we started running, I realized I was overthinking it. He clung to me like a piece of chewing gum, and I couldn't shake him off at all.

Witchification while running.

Therefore, the speed increased to another level, but it still held me firmly.

"My little sister is so cute!"

The little thing was whispering in my head. It wasn't convenient for me to speak while I was in accelerated mode, so I could only talk to her in my head.

But you previously denied that you were like them.

"Perhaps I was also born from the 'Great Will,' but I don't condone her aggressive behavior! After all, it was by absorbing your memories and common sense that I formed my current personality. If the 'Great Will' is my birth mother, then you are..."

What are you saying?

Why am I being forced to become a mother again?

"Well, that's what I mean! Miluno, you can always completely trust me, no matter what!"

I glanced back at the town's high school. The radiant bubble shield had been cracked by the aggregate's punch. There was no way to confront that thing head-on. But my usually accurate intuition told me that as long as I went to the Shuttle Tower to stop the flashing Black Light, I could make that guy disappear.

Therefore, I quickened my pace.

"Yo, Mi-chan, you're here?"

On the top floor of the Shuttle Tower, Aldebaran was standing on a raised stool, fiddling with an instrument resembling an electronic telescope at the window; it was the huge lens that was emitting Black Light.

"So it was you who did it all along."

I gave the order in an unquestionable tone:

"Don't try to get close to me, just stop that thing!"

"Hey! Don't be so nervous! This is my chance to show my strength to the 'Supreme Council'! And I assure you, no one will be killed."

Aldebaran turned around lightly, jumped off the small stool and came to me, but the thorns behind her were still stuck in the instrument through the interface.

At this moment, the aggregate also stopped moving.

In other words, is the behavior of that aggregate controlled by Aldebaran?

I asked, "What is that?"

She glanced at the young girl clinging to my chest like a sloth and said, "Unlike the 'Proxy Unit' you're wearing, that one over there is a part of the true 'Great Will'..."

"You mean that's 'the Great Will'?"

"That's right, if we're talking about a specific part... well, it's probably the hands?"

She gestured around her palm and then pointed to the "electronic telescope" behind her.

"The 'Great Will' shows no signs of awakening. I merely used technology to forcibly control a part of it, but even so, it can still exert considerable power?"

Even a small part of it has this kind of oppressive power.

"If the complete 'Great Will' were to descend upon Earth..."

Despite the serious discussion, Aldebaran shrugged indifferently.

"Well, those magical girls have absolutely no chance of winning. Even the 'Supreme Council' and witches become unnecessary. The 'Great Will' can reshape this world on its own. Nobody knows what Earth will become then!"

She also teased the little girl hanging around my neck.

"Then what is the purpose of demonstrating this technology to the 'Supreme Council'? To manipulate a part of the dormant 'Great Will'? Isn't this technology offensive to the gods for the 'Supreme Council'?"

"Oh dear, Mi-chan, you have to ask questions one at a time. How am I supposed to answer them all at once?"

She then took out a child's pullover and put it on the little girl.

"First of all, as I've said before, in order to better advance my own plans, I also need a voice on the 'The Other Side,' so producing results is the best way."

Next was a little skirt.

"Secondly, my research has always revolved around darkness and the 'Great Will.' Even the supreme 'god,' if one can see through its essence, is nothing more than a thinking energy body."

Finally, there were white cotton ankle socks.

"Finally, dealing with those guys in the 'Supreme Council' is the easiest. There's no need to say that I'm manipulating the 'Great Will'; just say that 'God' lent me His supreme power."

The young girl, dressed in clothes, looked more like an ordinary person.

Aldebaran then proposed:

"Mi-chan, why don't you try manipulating the 'Great Will' yourself?"

"No need, you should take that thing back right now..."

"That won't do. If I just throw a couple of punches and go back, won't the 'Supreme Council' think I'm a coward?"

"Don't force me to take apart your precious equipment."

She hugged the baby girl.

Even with her size, she couldn't lift the little girl.

"Don't rush, you probably have other questions to ask! For example, why does this 'Proxy Unit' look like you?"

The aggregates have started moving again, and the magical girls are still engaged in a pointless battle, but her question really struck a chord with me.

"Why?" I asked anyway.

"Because you are all children of the 'Great Will'."

Huh?

"Although the forms are different, the seed of 'Great Will' was planted within you the moment you accepted the Morning Star Crystal. Through continuous nurturing, it took root, sprouted, and ultimately shaped you into who you are today."

As expected, the Morning Star Crystal was...
