Morning. When Spica woke up, the spot next to her was empty.

“Sihyun-ssi?”

Spica vividly remembered spending the night with Sihyun last night.

She recalled it being a hot and steamy night.

Yesterday, as soon as Spica seduced him, Sihyun happily went to bed with her.

He was embarrassed by anal play, which he usually disliked, but he didn’t refuse and accepted it.

As usual, their passion burned in Spica’s bedroom.

She thought that if she woke up in the morning, she would be able to hug Sihyun’s soft skin next to her.

Only warmth remained. She couldn’t tell if it was Sihyun’s warmth or just the heat.

Did Sihyun-ssi have something urgent to do?

Did a game event start this morning? Or a new release open run?

Spica knew all of Sihyun’s schedules like a stalker, and she didn’t know of any such plans.

As she gradually woke up, Spica’s senses returned.

She could tell what was happening from the sounds and smells seeping through her closed door.

– Click

– Bang, bang, bang,

– Fzzzt…

– Hmm-hmm~ hmm~

It became clearer after she opened the door.

Sihyun was making breakfast.

“Sihyun-ssi?”

“Oh, Spica. You’re awake?”

Crisply fried bacon and golden-brown spam.

Soft scrambled eggs with butter and milk.

Beautifully toasted bread with jam and butter.

A fresh salad full of vitality, just washed and still wet.

“Were you tired? Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, Sihyun-ssi. What’s this?”

“What is it~ Hehe. I made breakfast, so let’s eat.”

Spica smiled, pushing her complicated thoughts aside at Sihyun’s natural smile.

Sitting at the table, Spica desperately tried to calculate the date.

Because of all the things she had done, it should still be her turn to be in charge of preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Even if she had slept in quite a bit, there was still a lot of time left.

Sihyun can wake up if he wants to, but he likes to sleep in, and when Spica makes the meal, he rubs his sleepy eyes and gets up to eat breakfast.

On days like today, when Spica can’t wake up on time, she wakes Spica up to prepare breakfast, and Sihyun goes back to sleep until it’s ready.

This was no ordinary matter.

“Sihyun-ssi? Why are you making breakfast?”

“Huh? Ohohoho. Just because~”

No, I can’t. I don’t think I can ask Sihyun directly to find out the reason.

It was clear that Sihyun was in a good mood.

Spica ate breakfast with a mystery on her mind.

The breakfast that Sihyun made was delicious.

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

Even a magical girl has to go on standby after a sweet, honey-like vacation.

Spica had been asleep for a long time and rested afterwards, so it was quite a while since she had been on standby.

There was a 99% chance that nothing would happen today, but she had to do what she had to do, so she couldn’t skip it anymore.

Spica’s plot to somehow skip out and increase the time she spent playing with Sihyun had long been crushed by Sihyun’s intuition and stubbornness.

Without having played with Sihyun as much as she wanted, Spica went to the Association to be on standby again today.

“Sihyun-ssi has been so kind lately.”

“Huh? Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Too nice!”

“???”

And the magical girl junior had to face the sight of her senior, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, spouting nonsense as soon as she came to be on standby today.

“Your lover-nim has always been kind. Where else in the world is there such an angel, you’re saying it again?”

“That’s true. Sihyun-ssi’s kindness surpasses angels and is worthy of being called a goddess!”

“Yes, yes. That’s right, that’s right.”

“But it’s different! Sihyun-ssi was always kind, but it’s not that! It’s something… something like a creepy kind of kindness!”

“(What sin did I commit to have to listen to this story from the morning?)”

It was the sin of being a magical girl without a lover yet.

“It’s that… Sihyun-ssi is very kind. He’s kinder than usual, but I don’t know why!”

“Isn’t he just being kind?”

“I think he’s being kind because he’s in a good mood. But I don’t know why.”

“He might just be in a good mood.”

“Then he would be happy alone, but it seems like he’s being nice to me?”

The junior, who had been trying to listen to her because she was her senior, soon decided to give up.

She couldn’t understand what she was saying at all.

Spica herself didn’t know what was going on, so how could an outsider like her know?

“It’s like I bought a product that I really like, but I’m nervous because I don’t know how much is on the receipt.”

“What has to happen for that situation to occur?”

“Ugh! What’s going on?! What happened?!”

– Ddiri,

“Yes, Sihyun-ssi! What’s wrong!”

“Senior’s phone… Ah, you’re answering the phone fast!”

Spica answered the phone before the bell even rang.

The junior magical girl saw the happy expression on Spica’s face and knew it was a conversation with her lover, so she decided to be quiet for a while.

Only Spica’s voice was heard in the quiet waiting room.

“Yes! What’s wrong?”

“Yes, yes. Yes! You’re telling me to buy a milk, right?”

“Ehehe. You’re welcome~ What are you doing with this?”

“Ah, Sihyun-ssi. Are you busy right now?”

“Yes, yes. No.”

“Come to think of it, you seem to be in a good mood these days.”

“Huh? Yes. Aha~”

“Yes! Then I’ll see you at home later!”

– Bleep

“Did you ask?”

“……..”

“Senior?”

The magical girl junior, who had stopped paying attention and was doing other things, asked Spica what had happened.

Spica, who hung up the phone, was silent for a while.

The junior, who was puzzled by Spica’s silence, turned her gaze and found Spica sweating profusely.

“What to do.”

“You’ve done something again.”

“I’ve done it, but it’s not like I did something…”

“Then is it something you should have done but didn’t?”

“It’s more like an act of God… Anyway, I should have said it sooner.”

“Haa…..”

The junior had a headache.

It’s been almost a year since this senior got a lover, and she’s still causing trouble all the time.

Doesn’t she have a function called reflection?

I’m sure she used to have a mindset of reflecting on herself, but where did she lose it?

“You really don’t get tired of it. So, what is it?”

“Did you know that it’s an unwritten rule that the number 1 magical girl in the Luna magical girl ranking doesn’t retire unless she’s pushed to number 2 or something special happens?”

“Is there such a thing?”

The magical girl junior tried to recall.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a news report of the number 1 magical girl retiring directly.

I think I’ve often heard rumors about cases where the number 1 spot is taken and they retire.

“And I’m the number 1 magical girl in the ranking right now.”

“That’s right. That’s why we had a party.”

When a magical girl meets a lover and realizes love, she greatly increases her magical power with the power of her heart.

There are only a handful of magical girls who have not undergone special awakening in the top 100 of the magical girl world rankings, and Spica, who was 13th, was the only one in the top ranks.

Since Spica had undergone a special awakening, it was natural for her to become number 1.

“So I can’t retire right now…”

“Ehh….. Forever?”

“No? They said that if enough time passes for idols to hear fans say, ‘I hope our idols meet good people and get married,’ then they can retire even if the number 1 spot isn’t taken.”

“Wow… I don’t know exactly how many years it will take, but it won’t be possible in just one or two years.”

“That’s right.”

Spica nodded in agreement.

“But Sihyun-ssi thinks that I can retire and Sihyun-ssi can return to being a man when the initial contract period expires.”

“Aha.”

The junior was finally able to understand what was going on.

Magical girls lose their magical powers when they lose their virginity.

Magical girls gain great magical power when they have a lover.

In order to keep the two propositions running in parallel, the Magical Girl Support Association temporarily removes the magical girl’s lover’s penis.

Generally, they sign a contract with the magical girl’s lover before turning them into a woman, and the contract period is usually two years or more.

“So how long is that contract period?”

“One year.”

“……Why?”

“That’s that. At first, I kidnapped Sihyun-ssi and turned him into a woman without his consent, so I had to sign a contract, even if it was only for one year….”

The magical girl junior understood the whole situation.

But in order to escape reality, she decided to ask Spica in detail.

“……How long has it been since you met your lover-nim?”

“It’ll be a year soon.”

“Why has your lover-nim been in a good mood these days?”

“Because it seems like he’ll be able to go back to being a man soon.”

“Aha.”

Confirmation complete.

The junior quickly came to a conclusion.

– Dingdongdaengdong….

“Ah, the standby time is over. Thank you for your hard work, Senior.”

“Luna~! Help me! Let’s worry about it together!”

“I have something busy to do. Even if I don’t, I do! Goodbye!”

The junior deserted after the standby time was over.

Unfortunately, Spica had to leave the waiting room without being prepared.

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

The first person at the Magical Girl Support Association to realize the problem was Ms. Hong Jangmi, the employee in charge of the official virtual streamer support part of the Romance Support Department of the Magical Girl Support Association’s domestic branch.

Number 2 in the original Yoo Sihyun fan club.

Deputy Manager of the Hong Jangmi Fan Cafe, the official virtual streamer of the Romance Support Department of the Magical Girl Support Association’s domestic branch.

In charge of Hong Jangmi’s official channel clips.

Operator of Hong Jangmi’s unofficial official clip panel [Channel for clipping the cutest and most dignified goddess Hong Jangmi in the world] (not currently operating)

Ms. S was listening to Sihyun talk about strange things while she was working overtime under the pretext of taking editing points, earning overtime pay while doing her fan activities.

[Oh, right. Before the end of this month, I have something big to announce.]

“Huh? What’s the big announcement?”

Ms. S already knew all of Sihyun’s schedules, but she checked her notebook again.

Her memory wasn’t wrong. There were no broadcast-related plans to announce something at the end of this month.

– Ddiririririri~

“Ah, hello. Sihyun-ssi.”

[Ah, Manager-nim! What’s wrong?]

Ms. S called Sihyun as soon as the broadcast ended.

She needed time to calm herself, making sure she wasn’t abusing the manager’s privilege to have a phone fan meeting.

“Ah~ You said on the broadcast today that you have a big announcement. I think I need to know what it is in advance.”

[Ah~ Yes~. My contract to be a woman is about to expire.]

“Aha~”

In fact, Ms. S’s memory was vague around this time.

When she came to her senses, she had already hung up the phone.

The fact that she had turned on the call recording for emergencies saved her life.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she had saved the world.

Ms. S listened to the call recording about 3 times, took a break from reality by listening to Hong Jangmi’s karaoke clips for a while, and listened to the call recording about 2 more times.

“Emergency!! Emergency!!!!”

Then, she looked around and realized that she was the only one working overtime in this room, so she started scattering emails, messengers, and phone calls haphazardly.

It was summer again.
