“Hello, Ms. Spica.”

“Yes. Hello…”

Spica entered the room, fidgeting.

The small, rectangular room was entirely enclosed in stark concrete.

One table. Two chairs.

And a large window with no view outside.

It was Spica’s first time in an interrogation room.

“Ahaha. Don’t be so scared, Ms. Spica. I just have a few simple questions for you.”

“Yes…”

The person assigned as her handler looked like a friendly middle-aged man.

But Spica, with a guilty conscience, was intimidated and shrinking back.

“A week ago, Ms. Spica, you combined Doppelganger Magic and Transformation Magic to transform your doppelganger into a dog.

And you told your partner that you had learned Summoning Magic.

Your partner mentioned on a broadcast that Spica could now use Summoning Magic, which led to a report.

So far, is anything untrue?”

“Yes… That’s right…”

“Were you aware that Summoning Magic is a spell that has never appeared before?”

“Yes. I knew.”

“Then why did you tell your partner it was Summoning Magic?”

Spica said in a depressed voice.

“Siyeon-ssi said she wanted to pet a dog.

I wanted to transform into a dog and be loved, but I was embarrassed to say it directly.

So, I tricked Siyeon-ssi into thinking I had summoned a dog instead of transforming.”

“Aha. You were shy.”

“…..”

Spica quietly nodded.

The handler nodded as if understanding.

“I see. I understand. It can be embarrassing.”

“I’m sorry….”

“It’s okay. Then why didn’t you report that you had learned a new magic?”

“I forgot…. I was too excited at the thought of Siyeon-ssi liking it…”

“You forgot.”

“I’m sorry….”

“Hahaha. It’s alright. It can happen. I’m glad that you seem to have a good relationship with your partner.”

Spica lowered her head, hearing the handler’s laughter as if it was no big deal.

As soon as Doppelganger Magic became possible, she combined it with Transformation Magic, and in her excitement to be loved as Siyeon-ssi’s pet, she completely forgot.

She didn’t even need to call, just send a text.

She transformed into a dog, went into Siyeon-ssi’s room, hugged and petted her, and slept together, completely forgetting about it until the next day.

And the day after that, and the day after that.

Even when going to standby, she was so happy to be able to play with Siyeon-ssi that she completely forgot.

But Siyeon-ssi hardly ever initiates skinship!

How could she miss this opportunity!

“Well, that concludes the questions. You may leave now.”

“Really? Is that it?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“From now on, if something like this happens, you must contact us first. Understood?”

“Yes! I’ll remember to contact you from now on!”

Spica felt relieved that the interrogation ended simply without any major issues.

The handler also felt relieved that the number one-ranked magical girl wasn’t thinking bad thoughts.

The interrogation was wrapping up in a friendly atmosphere.

It would have been, if the handler hadn’t said one more thing to ease the atmosphere.

“It’s very fortunate that you have such a good relationship with your partner. Did you awaken Doppelganger Magic because you wanted to be with your partner all the time?”

“Yes? Ah, yes! That’s right!”

[Beep~! Beep~! Beep~! Beep~! Beep~! Beep~! Beep~! Beep~!]

The siren blared loudly.

The noisy sound echoed repeatedly in the small room.

Spica and the handler froze with their smiles still on their faces.

They remained motionless like a still image until the siren stopped.

“Ah… Ahahaha… Why is it doing this? Well, a magical girl wouldn’t lie. There must have been a glitch with the equipment.”

“Um… Excuse me…”

“I’ll contact the handler later, so Ms. Spica, you may leave first. Ahaha…”

“…I wanted to rape Siyeon-ssi. But I can’t do it with anyone else, so I wanted a doppelganger…”

“……..”

“Siyeon-ssi gave me a wish ticket recently because I worked hard on a large-scale operation. I was going to use it to get forgiveness later…”

“……..”

The handler wished the lie siren would ring instead.

But the interrogation room was sadly silent.

In the awkward atmosphere, the adult handler opened his trembling lips first.

“…I didn’t hear anything.”

“Yes….”

“But Ms. Spica, as a married older man, I’d like to give you a piece of advice.”

“Yes….”

“Treat your partner really well.”

“Yes, sir…..”

Spica quietly slipped away unnoticed.

The handler, left alone, wanted to light up a cigarette again after having quit.

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

As soon as Spica went outside, she saw Siyeon rushing towards her anxiously.

Siyeon, not knowing what conversation had taken place inside, was worried about Spica.

“Spica! Are you okay? Did anything happen?”

“Ah, Siyeon-ssi. I’m sorry you had to come all the way here.”

“That’s nothing! More importantly, are you okay? You’re not receiving any kind of penalty, are you?”

Siyeon had to see Spica summoned to the interrogation room with a list of charges.

It wasn’t the first time Spica had been taken away like this.

Last time, she had awakened Precognition Magic during an operation and eliminated a monster before it could be summoned, using a method that had never existed before.

But last time, they had politely taken her to ask questions, and this time, she was summoned because of a mistake.

Siyeon was strangely worried and ended up following her.

Siyeon, who hadn’t heard the details, felt sorry that she seemed to have been taken away because she had said something she shouldn’t have on the broadcast.

Seeing Spica, who had become gaunt in such a short time, Siyeon was on the verge of tears.

“It’s okay. I just got told to tell them next time as fast as possible.”

“Really? But your face has become so pale?”

“It’s just because it was a new experience so I was a little surprised. It’s not a big deal.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

“Of course! Have I ever lied to Siyeon-ssi?”

“You have, a lot.”

“……”

Come to think of it, she had.

Spica, who had never lied in her life, had been lying multiple times since meeting Siyeon-ssi because she was embarrassed and sorry.

Is this embarrassment…? Is it the forbidden fruit??

“You must have been very surprised. Do you wanna pet Chiyo?”

“No…”

“You don’t have to hold back. Animal therapy is good for you. Here, here.”

“Okay….”

Thinking she was holding back because of her, Siyeon grabbed Spica’s hand and made her pet the soft fur of the large golden retriever she had brought.

Siyeon still didn’t know that the dog she had named Chiyo was a doppelganger of Spica who was transformed.

Spica thought she would feel better if Siyeon petted her instead.

She felt the sensation of herself petting herself and thought that.

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

The advantage of Magical Girl Spica is that her mental recovery is fast!

“Alright! In the end, everything ended without any major problems, so I won’t dwell on it anymore!”

“That’s right, senpai. It’s not good to worry too much about things that have already happened.”

It hadn’t even been a few days since she was called in and scolded, but Spica, who was on standby today, was energetic and full of life.

A junior on standby with her today knew that Spica had been called in and scolded, so she comforted Spica.

Although it was questionable whether Spica needed comfort since she seemed too energetic.

“So, senpai. What are you doing right now?”

“I’m linking my senses with my doppelganger who has become a dog. I’m taking a bath with Siyeon-ssi right now.”

“If there’s nothing else going on, you could just use magic to wash up after you come back, senpai. Your partner must really cherish the dog.”

“I purposely got it dirty while we were walking earlier. To wash with Siyeon-ssi.”

“……..”

The disadvantage of Magical Girl Spica is that her mental recovery is unnecessarily fast.

“She still doesn’t like to wash together very often. Especially lately.”

“Isn’t it normal to want to wash alone?”

“I get scolded if I barge in while she’s washing.”

“You’ve already barged in…”

“But it’s okay if I’m transformed into a dog! I can stick close to Siyeon-ssi as she bathes naked without being embarrassed!”

“Umm….”

The junior thought that she shouldn’t have comforted Spica earlier.

She wished she could take back her words of comfort.

“By the way, senpai. How did you become able to use Transformation Magic?”

“I was talking about dog penises with you as small talk while on standby last time. I imagined it that night before I fell asleep, and I became able to use it.”

Spica honestly answered her junior.

Because if you ask the Magical Girl Center, they will answer you.

A magical girl’s new magic acquisition is always welcome!

The truth was said because the database for that was well-established and it would be revealed soon anyway.

External Conscience Magical Girl Luna quietly typed a message to Siyeon.

“But it’s okay! The doppelganger who is with Siyeon-ssi right now completely got rid of the genitals! When I make it like that, I don’t even get sexual desires.”

“Aha. That’s a relief!”

Magical Girl Luna quietly deleted the message.

It seemed like she could watch a little longer.

“Oh…. As expected, Siyeon-ssi’s breasts. So awesome…..”

“………”

Magical Girl Luna is still watching.
