“What is chet?”

“But isn’t it a pity?”

“Haa, did you really think I’d let you do that?”

“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do. Okay. Sit down here.”

“Ha, yes.”

Blanc tapped the side of the sofa and told her to sit next to him.

Well, what can I do? If you make a promise, you have to keep it.

So I sat quietly next to Blanc.

“Give me your tail quickly.”

“What, did you leave it to me?”

“Yeah, I left it to you, so hurry.”

“Sigh.”

What is this oppressive attitude, really?

Haa, what is that look in his eyes that says he won’t hesitate to do something really bad if he doesn’t stick his tail out?

“Okay, here. Okay?”

“Umm… But it’s uncomfortable to touch you when you’re sitting like this.”

“What do you want me to do? Just touch it when you give it to me.”

As I spoke with a sigh, Blanc now called out to me, tapping my leg.

“Okay, okay. Come up here.”

What should I think of this situation where she is asked to climb up onto my leg with that bright expression on her face?

“Why me… Sigh.”

“Quickly. You and I, be comfortable, quickly lie down on my legs.”

“No, haa.”

“If that’s too much of a burden, you can just lie down like this instead of holding it in.”

“Sigh.”

What can I do? I have to do as I’m told.

I shouldn’t have said that.

No matter how much I thought about it, it still felt a bit odd to lie down with Blanc’s legs crossed, so I lay down on top of Blanc’s legs.

So easy to touch the tail you want so badly.

“Okay, is that okay?”

“Yeah. Haa, how much I suffered here. Even thinking back now, it was really scary. ”

“Aren’t you the one who always escapes no matter how hard you try?”

“Yeah, yeah. That’s right. But still, this was scary.”

“If you’re scared, why don’t you just stop touching it?”

“No, I’ll still touch it.”

“Haa… ”

Then, Blanc’s hand, which had been touching my tail, slowly reached out to my tail and began to touch it carefully.

Instead of a mechanical jointed appearance that would prevent Blanc from getting hurt when he touches it, it has a detailed tentacle-like appearance.

Because if you look at it a bit, it looks like a cat’s tail.

“Why are you so eager to touch that machine-made tail?”

“Just. I wanted to touch it.”

With that, Blanc began to appreciate the tail, as he slowly stroked it.

At that moment, the feeling coming from my tail was so strange that I tried to block out the sensation, but the strange feeling running up my spine was completely distracting me…

“Ugh… ”

“Hey, if you touch the tail like this, it will react like this… ”

Eventually, I ended up making a weird noise.

“Ugh… Blanc, that’s weird. That, that, that’s weird… ”

“Then can’t you touch it a little more?”

“Ha… If you just stop touching me strangely… It’ll be okay… ”

“Really? Hehe… ”

Blanc’s hand moves further from my tail towards my body.

“No!? Hey, the connector! Huh!”

When I screamed in surprise, Blanc took his hand off his tail and examined my condition.

“Oh, sorry. Did it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt… It feels… Ugh… ”

“How do you feel?”

“What a weird thing… Anyway, please stop… ”

“Okay, I see. Haa, that’s too bad.”

“… It would be bearable, except for the connection part… ”

“No. You’re going to let me touch it again later, right?”

“… I’ll think about it. Sigh… ”

Blanc with a regretful expression.

Come down from above her and sit down next to her.

And then, slowly approach her side.

Because I had something to ask her.

“I feel like I’ve been sighing more lately. Don’t you think so?”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes, do you know why?”

“Hmm… Is work hard or are the kids bullying you? Or is public opinion still negative about you?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Then, why? If you’re tired, you can rest.”

“That’s not it. You’re the problem.”

“I…?”

Blanc looked at me with a puzzled look at my remark that pointed to himself.

“Can I ask you one thing honestly?”

“What? Did I do something wrong? Tell me everything. I’ll fix it. Okay?”

“Why are you being so burdensome? It’s nothing. You’ve been teasing me too much lately. I just wanted to ask why.”

Blanc answered my question right away.

I also had a simple question: was it really that simple for Blanc to answer right away?

“Oh, that’s… I just… think you’re cute… ”

“… Huh?”

What did I just hear…

“When I teased you, your reaction was cute, so I teased you without thinking… I’m sorry. I really didn’t like you… ”

My red face and confused head were preventing me from coming to my senses.

Blanc’s voice calling me helped me start my mind back up again.

“It’s raining? It’s raining over there… ?”

“Uh… Ah? Yes, yes…! Go ahead!”

“Vine, are you okay?”

“Yeah yeah… yeah. Okay, it’s okay… Th, th… ”

“Vine? Are you really okay?”

“Yeah… That, that… What do I find cute, huh? Cute? Me to you? ”

“Yeah. You’re cute… ? So I kept teasing you… and stuff… Sorry… ”

“Ah, no. I don’t understand the situation right now. Are you saying that I look cute in the eyes of Magical Girl Blanc? And to me, who was an executive of Eden and your greatest enemy?”

“… Yeah. You say something is cute when you see it. You can’t say no, right? ”

“Ah, ew, ew! Why…! Why me… Haa.”

“I’m sorry if you really hated it… ”

“No. Why are you teasing me, your enemy, like this? Because, well, I guess… a defeated enemy… That… ”

“Ah, I could have thought of it that way… I’m sorry. I, I really didn’t mean to. Okay?”

“Yes… I understand what you mean, so that’s enough… ”

“Okay… Okay.”

Haa… Why do I get so flustered whenever I get involved with Blanc…

Finally, I have one more question to ask.

But, this time, it is still too early to ask the question.

To me, and to you, Blanc.

as soon as.

What do you think of me?

It must have been a bad friend.

A little, no.

What kind of relationship do we have, since things have changed so much?

To Blanc, what kind of person am I?

Because it’s still a question that I’m just keeping to myself.

“Arin, do your best on your exam. I will be cheering you on from behind.”

“Yes! I’ll take a good look, so please take it easy today… ?”

“Arin, don’t worry about training with me. Just focus on the test first. I’ve already finished analyzing the content about Arin.”

“Yes…! Binnie, see you later!”

After seeing Arin off, I go about my morning routine as usual.

Well, I don’t really have anything to do today.

Instead of sitting on my windowsill and looking outside during my free time like I always do, I spend time analyzing Arin’s videos.

Here’s a video of Blanc, who is both humble and humble.

First of all, in Blanc’s case, there is no change in overall movement.

Movements that have barely changed since I fought her.

Perhaps because her movements were already close to completion, most of the battles she went into were against enemies much weaker than her.

Both in terms of power and in terms of speed.

Even in a water fight, it is almost defenseless to the point where it can be said that there is almost no growth.

Blanc moves almost as I expected.

Yeah, last time Blanc saw my movements and said ‘it was like a vine’.

After hearing those words, I was dumbfounded, but after watching this video, my assessment is,

It was bland.

Because it was a video that could be explained in one word.

It’s exactly like the appearance of the magical girl Blanc I worked with.

The only difference is that there has been some magical and physical growth.

Nothing has changed.

Well, actually, Arin’s training is more important than the duel with Blanc.

I continued to analyze Arin’s training videos, not only now, but also on the night I received them.

After all, Arin is a magical girl who has never fought me before.

I needed time to analyze her fighting style and movements.

The problem with Arin that I felt while watching the videos was, as expected, her lack of experience.

Looking at the records of monsters that Arin has fought so far, it’s mostly team battles against weak monsters, solo battles, etc.

There is no record of fighting villains.

There is a clear difference between fighting a monster that doesn’t involve physical combat and fighting a villain that requires thinking.

So, there are several visible problems.

Personally, what I regret is the visible gaps.

There are more than one or two places to catch.

Sigh, I guess I’ll have to adjust my training plan a bit.

I’m sorry Arin, but it’s going to get a little harder.

Thinking about training, I actually had a duel with Arin today.

The duel with Arin is actually largely about testing Arin’s skills.

In order to make Arin do her part, even if it’s not as much as Blanc, at least to make sure she doesn’t get hurt when she goes out to the battlefield.

Because that vaccination is mandatory.

So today’s sparring will start off weakly and then gradually push Arin to find out her limits.

I’m going to test out the tails I have that only do melee attacks, and then also try out ranged attacks to see if I can dodge them sufficiently.

I also need to figure out how to escape when I’m caught on my tail.

While I was worrying about Arin’s training, Blanc came out and told me to go to the association.

The association said they wanted to have lunch with the association president, so they asked me to leave a little early.

Looking at that sleepy bum who’s already finished preparing, I think it’s probably the duel between Arin and me that’s going to take place today.

And I guess the duel with Blanc is a really big event.

I also wash my body and get ready to go out.

Because the weapons have already been loaded onto the Blanc Association vehicle.

Ha, let’s go. To the association.
