The reason I used to apply for the crystals was to power Azura's mechanical prosthesis, and I hadn't mentioned going to the lunar surface, so SpiCa agreed quite readily...
She still accommodated me quite a bit, which I could feel.
Before long, a researcher sent two magic crystals over here.
"They really are small now, huh?"
These magic crystals were palm-sized spheres.
They were a bit like Dragon Balls. Compared to the star crystals, a gap still remained, and Stratos's previous description had been somewhat exaggerated, but compared to the coffin-sized magic crystals of before, this could indeed be called a huge step forward.
"Get the goods and leave already. The old woman still has experiments to run..."

I held the two magic crystals and returned to Nabu Island via the wormhole device on the same floor.
"I'm back."
Upon returning to the villa halfway up the mountain, I instead saw Betelgeuse wearing only panties and a tank top, sound asleep on the sofa.
Azura was draped over her body like a blanket.
That high-density, airtight slime jelly, although cool and elastic to hug and quite comfortable, would definitely make someone feel suffocated with restricted breathing if used as a blanket...

"I—I just wanted to hug it while I
