“Hi, Spica. Long time no see~.”

“Christian. It’s been a while.”

Today, Spica was in the waiting room for standby.

The magical girl who came in to standby with her was a close friend of Spica’s.

Magical girls did tend to stick together.

“By the way, Spica. How did the tentacles go last time?”

“I don’t know if it went well or not…”

“What do you mean?”

Spica sighed.

It was a sigh of genuine regret.

“We planned that event together, remember?”

“Which one? The closet? The shower room? Or the suspiciously alien space with tentacles by person we don’t know?”

“No, no. I’m talking about the bed.”

“Ah~ The event where you make the bed sheets out of tentacles, so you can feel pleasure all night long with the comfort and coziness of the bed, right?”

“Right. The point was to give physical comfort together…”

Spica muttered sadly.

It took a lot of effort to weave the fabric out of her hair to that size.

And how many simulations did she have to run to make it move in a way that felt soft and fluffy.

“As soon as it started, Si-hyun was so surprised that I stopped right away.”

“Oh dear…”

“In the end, we couldn’t do anything that day and just hugged and slept.”

“I see. Then there’s no helping it.”

The magical girl Christian, who was listening, nodded in sympathy with Spica.

She knew how hard Spica worked to create movement that would make her hair feel fluffy.

It was common for her, too, for items she worked hard to create to end up in storage without even being used because of her partner’s tastes.

“But luckily, she allowed me to move my hair to caress her! Si-hyun-ssi felt the uterine scroll spiral a lot! She looked so beautiful as she trembled and spurted out fountains.”

“That’s a relief! To try even though you were surprised at first. Your lover has a spirit of challenge.”

“Thank you. How was it for you, Christian?”

Spica asked her friend in return.

The magical girl Christian couldn’t use clone magic or transformation magic, but she was a renowned magical item inventor.

Her invention, ‘Sensory Linked Fake Dildo,’ was still a bestseller.

The ‘Magic-Beauty Liquor Plate, which allows you to easily make alcohol at home,’ was also Christian’s work.

“Me? It was a bit difficult to make, but it turned out well. She hated it at first, but she came around after I persistently persuaded her.”

“Oh. Showing sincerity is important after all.”

“I showed her the real thing and persuaded her that it wasn’t dangerous, and she grumbled but got into bed.”

“Aha.”

Spica realized.

Persistently persuading her even though she hated it didn’t mean she was persuading her by attacking her with the tentacle bed.

It meant she persuaded her before doing it.

She realized she had misunderstood, but Spica said nothing.

But her friend was quick to notice and knew Spica well.

“Spica, you…”

“Ah. No. That’s not it.”

“……..”

“I did wrong. But that’s not it, that’s not it…”

“Spica.”

“Yeah.”

In the end, the mad scientist magical girl decided to say a word or two to her friend.

“It’s not my place to say, but I think you should treat your lover better.”

“…Yes. You’re right…”

It really wasn’t her place to say, considering how much she was messing up.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

“Hi, Spica. Long time no see.”

“Shaula-unni! It’s been a while!”

Today, Spica was in the waiting room for standby.

The magical girl who came in to standby with her was older than Spica.

She was a magical girl with a deep connection to Spica, who called her unni.

“What brings you here?”

“I came to see Spica~”

“Ahaha. You’re such a jokester.”

“I’m not joking?”

“……..”

And originally, she was a magical girl in a different branch, not this one.

“Then… what brings you here?”

“What. Can’t I just come to see you?”

“No! You can! You totally can!”

“Ahahaha. Relax, Spica. It’s nothing much.”

“A..aha..ha….”

The magical girl Shaula was quite a veteran magical girl, despite her small body.

She wasn’t as old as Spica, but she was an older sister who had been a magical girl for a long time.

When Spica was going through her rebellious phase, she had been in her debt several times, so it was difficult for Spica to come on strong.

“I’m just traveling around and meeting people one by one.”

“Yes? Is something going on?”

“I’m graduating from being a magical girl this time.”

“Are you getting married?”

“Yeah. To my boyfriend.”

“Wow! Congratulations!”

Spica was sincerely happy about the good news.

It was a really good thing that someone close to her was quitting being a magical girl without getting seriously hurt.

“Well~ It’s all thanks to you~”

“Aww~ What did I do?”

“No, it’s because Spica got a lover and snatched first place in the magical girl rankings from me, so I can leave without any problems.”

“Aww~ …..Yes? What does that mean?”

Spica met Si-hyun and gained the number one spot in the world magical girl rankings by achieving a special awakening.

The magical girl Shaula was the magical girl who had been in first place in the world magical girl rankings for quite a long time before that.

“Don’t you know? It’s an unwritten rule that number one doesn’t retire.”

“What?!”

“People get anxious if number one retires, you know.”

“No… That… Really?”

“That’s why I couldn’t retire.”

“That’s why you didn’t graduate?!”

“Of course~ I wanted to retire quickly and cuddle with my darling.”

Like a bolt from the blue.

Spica had never heard of this before.

“I’ve heard you’re the most legendary magical girl around?”

“I am.”

“They said that no magical girl will surpass me for decades to come?”

“That’s right. It’s probably true.”

Come to think of it, she had never heard of the number one magical girl retiring.

Even if she had seen cases where she quickly fell from number one and then retired…

“But what if I really can’t retire for the rest of my life…?”

“Ah~~~ It’s not set in stone as a rule. They’ll let you retire if you’ve been doing it so long that people say, ‘Well, even so, it’s time to retire and find your own happiness…’”

“How long is that?”

The magical girl Shaula pondered for a moment.

That’s because there had never been a magical girl who had maintained the number one spot in the world magical girl rankings for so long.

“Wouldn’t it be enough time that even if a dating story about a popular girl group member comes out, the reaction is more ‘That’s right. Unni should get married soon’ than people cursing?”

“That’ll take a long time! My contract with Si-hyun is for one year?”

“That’s up to you to figure out.”

“Oh come on…”

“Fighting! I’m going, so take care of yourself!”

The slightly fierce magical girl Shaula was radiating an aura of happiness from her whole body.

Is this the power of someone who has shed everything?

Spica was slightly sulky.

If she had known this would happen, she would have controlled her power appropriately and achieved a special awakening, Spica thought.

Of course, there was no way she could have done that even if she had wanted to.

“Oh, right. There was one more thing I came to do.”

“…What else…”

“Ehey~ Don’t sulk. This is a good thing for Spica too, you know?”

“…Really?”

“Of course!”

The magical girl Shaula said to Spica with clear eyes without a hint of falsehood.

“I found out recently that Spica can use clone magic and transformation magic now?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I’m going to teach you a technique that only magical girls who can use both magics at the same time can use.”

“Yes? Unni’s ultimate technique?”

“Eyy~ Ultimate technique, what ultimate technique~ It’s just a decent technique, a technique. It’s been documented, but it’s more accurate to teach you directly.”

“Wow… I’m grateful.”

She says that, but Shaula’s technique was so versatile and powerful that it was called an ultimate technique by the other magical girls who were watching.

It was magic that would have been widespread if it didn’t require two types of special magic.

“Then should we start as soon as standby is over?”

“How long will it take?”

“About a week, to be generous?”

Spica’s enthusiasm waned.

“Ah, unni. I’m going to the nail salon with Si-hyun tomorrow.”

“Go next time.”

“The coupon expires tomorrow, so I have to go.”

“Come to think of it, I heard about it from Luna earlier. Then you can send Luna and your lover together.”

“I’m tired from being on standby 4 times in a row today, so can’t I rest for just one day?”

“I heard you were caught going too far while playing pervert games with your lover and are standing as punishment? If you’re so full of energy, you can do it right away.”

-gulp…

Spica swallowed hard.

She didn’t want to be dragged into training for a week without being prepared.

“Can I contact Si-hyun to get permission to break our promise and go to training?”

“I already got it. She told me to train you hard. She said it’s a shame we can’t hang out together, but she hopes you’ll receive hard training from a valuable person and come back safely in the future.”

“Si-hyun-ssi….”

Spica felt like crying. Her usual karma was coming back to her like this.

The magical girl Shaula patted her crying younger sister on the shoulder with emotion.

“Yeah, yeah. She’s a good lover. Treat her well.”

“Yes… I’ll treat her well….”

A drop of sadness fell from Spica’s eyes.

It was the sorrow of someone being dragged into the inevitable flow of training.
