Post-Battle Summary

(Sun Yao)

Board the ship.

Ms. Yin Wei took over the yacht's helm, while the original driver returned to the branch in a small boat.

I now understand what Ms. SpiCa meant when she said, "Going to headquarters is no better than spending the night on a yacht."

I've been on yachts before, but this one sent by the Hawaii Branch is more luxurious than any I've ever seen. Sofas, stereos, TVs, and refrigerators go without saying, but it even has three bedrooms! While the two downstairs are about the size of capsule rooms, the one at the bow is a double room with a private bathroom—it's incredibly grand...

With such a large space, Melissa and the other maids could easily squeeze in, but they insisted on staying on Nabu Island.

Speaking of which, is UI-31 still hiding on the island?

To avoid Miss SpiCa not being able to stay with us, we might go to Miss Melissa's place...

Thinking this, I looked at Yezi again, trying to find clues that he was UI-31, but I couldn't see anything.

There were only six passengers and a Doggy on the yacht.

Yeah, Doggy.

After obtaining permission, I also brought the Golden aboard the yacht.

When the mansion exploded, the child, worried about us, climbed over the wall and ran out again. The rainforest at that time was full of dangerous traps, and it was amazing that it managed to find us.

However, those traps had already disappeared along with the sailing warships.

The Hunter Witch also disappeared, and her disappearance made us realize something.

Something we've never been able to understand before.

How exactly does the Hunter Witch achieve invisibility?

I couldn't figure it out before, but now I have some guesses...

"They didn't run away, they disappeared."

Inside the luxurious cabin, Miss Sirius sprawled out on the sofa in a very unladylike manner, still holding a half-empty bottle of wine in her hand.

"Like the warships, mechanical arms, and those weapons, the guy Miluno defeated was himself a 'weapon' manufactured by the 'Arsenal.' In other words, the real Betelgeuse... the Hunter Witch never even came!"

The reason why it was a robot has also been found.

Modern robots can indeed be used as weapons, and can be conceptually considered as weapons. They can also be constructed using the magic of Betelgeuse, although the reasoning is somewhat far-fetched. But magic is such a "miracle".

I chimed in, "This machine clone can not only use magic, but it can probably also disintegrate, teleport, and reconstruct itself... After being modified on the Other Side, the power of its magic has become so exaggerated... Even witches would find it troublesome."

After a lot of effort and heavy losses, they only managed to repel the opponent's clone.

Although we won, the result felt like a loss.

If it weren't for Miss Miluno's immense strength, "Mr. Werewolf" and I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with even this clone.

"Call--"

Miss SpiCa stood at the top of the stairs and exhaled a puff of smoke out the window.

"That hunter could only construct conventional weapons before, but after becoming a witch, she did gain much greater power."

I chimed in, "But the price is losing oneself, becoming an assassination weapon for invading one's homeland..."

Although she came to purge counter-revolutionaries, I was only her second target.

Have you lost yourself?

Miss Miluno pondered my words carefully. Sirius noticed something amiss and asked, "Miluno- chan, just say what you want to say."

"I heard the witch's... clone express clear words and easily understood emotions."

"What did she say? Oh, complained that you took off her panties?"

Miss Miluno retorted with a sidelong glance.

"I already told you I was putting it on her."

I can testify to that.

The Hunter Witch's panties were stolen by UI-31's ability, which inevitably brings to mind the incident where Yezi ripped off Miluno's swimsuit...

That Werewolf really was Yezi!

I glared at Yezi again, but he scratched his head inexplicably.

"In short, she deeply hates magical girls, which is probably a result of being brainwashed by 'the Other Side'."

Whether it's the Hunter Witch or the previous Shark Princess Witch, their actions are guided by clear logic. In other words, the witches possess rationality, but like those Monsters, they have no intention of communicating with us.

I feel somewhat emotional.

"It's just like the Avengers."

"Perhaps they came for revenge, and I am their target."

SpiCa looked bitter and said, "Ceruno should remember, right? The first time we met..."

First meeting?

Oh, it's about the battle with the Shark Princess Witch.

"Eridanus had already cornered you, Metal couldn't completely stop her. She had the opportunity to eliminate you as her target, but instead, she turned her attack on me the moment I appeared... It's understandable that they hate me, after all, I was the one who proposed the first counterattack."

The Shark Princess Witch did indeed use her powerful Water Spear back then, but she had other ways to deal with me and didn't necessarily need it. I later looked up some early information and found that Chuanlang Bojiang, as a magical girl who manipulates water, had a trump card to counter both biological and plant-type Monster.

Fluid Manipulation.

It can drain the moisture from plants or reverse the flow of blood in living organisms with just a touch, either of which is extremely deadly.

Ultimately, the thirty magical girls who participated in the first counterattack were all outstanding individuals who had grown through the baptism of war; each of them was an elite, and there were no weaklings among them.

I comforted her, saying, "Miss SpiCa, it's too early to blame yourself. There must be a way to turn them back."

Are you willing to help?

"Yes, when we get back, I'll go with you to persuade my father."

Miss SpiCa was surprised by my change of heart, but for me, it was something I had already decided beforehand.

"Speaking of which, Miss Sirius's mansion has burned down, and the fact that there are Monster attacks every day has been confirmed. Is there any need for us to continue our 'vacation'?"

"No, then the three of you can go back to Skyreach City tomorrow..."

Miss SpiCa answered very decisively.

Although it was my own question, I still feel dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"... Although I wanted to say that, you haven't really had any fun yet, have you? As compensation and a reward, I've prepared a surprise for you. Go to bed early tonight."

Surprise?

Miss SpiCa's sudden smile and turn made my dejected mood lift again.

"Can I go to Hawaii?"

"I guarantee it's a better place than you know Hawaii."

Miss Sirius insisted on giving the double bed room at the bow of the ship to Miluno and me.

She spent the night on the sofa chair in the cabin, leaving Yin Wei and SpiCa in one room, while Yezi had a room to herself.

At the moment.

Miluno was lying next to me. Although it wasn't the first time, I still felt excited, which even overcame my strong sleepiness.

I lay on my side, holding my breath as I gazed at her sleeping face.

"..."

She is really beautiful.

Her skin was as smooth as porcelain, but a bit tanned, so is that considered bronze-like?

Her facial features were exquisitely sculpted, and her long, black hair was spread out on the bed, reflecting the silvery moonlight from the window.

I was originally male.

Looking at her up close like this is a desecration, not to mention what she might do unknowingly while asleep.

"..."

I shrank back and moved myself to the edge of the bed.

But Miluno reached out and grabbed my arm.

"... Idiot, you'll fall off if you sleep like that."

Surprisingly, she was still awake.

"I don't mind, just move closer, you can sleep next to me."
