Ahhh, this feels so good!

The Super Mysterious Beautiful Girl Time feels amazing!

“Ahhh, this feels so good!”

Star-Reading Staff, your performance this time was absolutely flawless.
As expected of my childhood friend. My soulmate. My one and only best friend.

“Haha. This time, I focused especially on the wind. Since it’s a new outfit, I had to emphasize its presence somehow.”

It’s such a blessing to have such an understanding staff by my side.
The outfit was amazing, and your sense of style is impeccable.

“Let’s keep incorporating more black. For now, an ominous outfit color is more fitting for a mysterious beautiful girl.”

You really get it.
Exactly. For now, black works.
And then, at the climax, when my heroine power as the mysterious beautiful girl is at its peak, I’ll unveil the ultimate, most perfect beautiful girl outfit—a pure white dress.

“This is the emotion called excitement…! It’s wonderful, my partner! And that finishing move with the dagger at the end. The layered subtlety—it was a brilliant performance I couldn’t have conceived.”

Ehehe, you’re making me blush.


Even if I beat down Rokuhara-san in a straightforward fight, he’d probably get back up through sheer grit. The paralysis toxin had its purpose too.
Also, it’s rare for a mysterious beautiful girl to unleash a direct finishing move, so doing it there felt off to me.

“I’m glad you’re my contractor.”

Same here!

“Yay!”

We high-fived in our hearts.
Well then, let’s help out Miroku-senpai quickly and wrap things up with a happy ending.

“In that case, let’s head to where I sense my sister’s presence. I’ve been feeling Shieru’s presence for a while now.”

Shieru, huh… I don’t know her personally.

In the original story, the true identities of the Demonsgear were revealed to be Lutra, Eina, Shieru, and Solphi.
The other two were missing, so the council planned to challenge the calamity with just these four.
And somehow, Gatou Touraku turned Lutra into Super Lutra, securing a victory.

In other words, the other Demonsgear are a blank slate in the original story—a completely unknown realm.

Not that I can say much; this Star-Reading Staff is a bundle of mysteries too. Haha!

“She seems to be at the top floor of the building. Let’s teleport.”

Ah, but change the outfit back first.

“Hmm, are you sure?”

This is like a special form I revealed briefly for Rokuhara-san.
The fact that it was shown only once against an S-rank opponent is what’s important.

So, it mustn’t be overused.

“Now that you mention it, that makes sense. Very well, let’s revert.”

The outfit reverted to the usual gothic lolita dress.
Hmm, it feels just right.

“Shall we proceed then?”

Passing through a bluish-purple magic circle, I moved to a position overlooking the top floor of the building.

Looking down at the city, I could truly appreciate how intense my battle with Rokuhara-san had been.
Actually… wasn’t most of the destruction caused by Rokuhara-san?
That guy was freely unleashing Eina-chan without hesitation. Won’t the council scold him? Is this fine?

“That was a marvelous bombardment. As her elder sibling, I feel proud.”

It’s a special bombardment born of emotion.
If the targeting range broadens, things could get even more chaotic—I’m well aware of that.

But this city is built on a dungeon core. As long as the core survives, restoration should be simple.

The real question is, what to do next?

“Aren’t we going to help Miroku Aoboshi?”

Of course, but how to do it while maintaining the aura of a mysterious beautiful girl is the issue.
If Sorciera doesn’t have a reason to intervene, it’ll just look like I’m forcing my presence as a beautiful girl.

A mysterious beautiful girl mustn’t be overbearing.

“I see… Hmm, something’s coming.”

Huh?

Following the Star-Reading Staff’s words, I looked at the building.
Some parts were turning red—wait, what?!

The building’s walls were melting, and an enormous beam was heading straight toward me!

I swiftly dodged and floated stylishly in the air.
…Wait, it wasn’t aimed at me?

“Could this bombardment be from Shieru? Hmm… For someone so eccentric, this attack feels oddly rough. Let’s take a look inside.”

Peering through the hole created by the blast, I observed a stark white laboratory-like interior.

At its center stood a grotesquely large dog-like creature.
Ah, so that thing fired the shot.

Huh? Behind the dog—wait, isn’t that Miroku-senpai?
Oh, and Mizuhi-senpai and Toa-chan are there too!

They made it. That’s great.
But what are they talking about?

“Can’t hear it. Shall we beat up that dog and rescue the three of them?”

The Star-Reading Staff proposed.
But I rejected the idea.

No, not yet. It’s too early for us to act, Star-Reading Staff.

“Oh? Why’s that? Aren’t you supposed to save beautiful girls?”

Indeed. Every beautiful girl has the right and duty to be happy.
But this situation… wouldn’t it be more beautiful if Mizuhi-senpai and Toa-chan saved Miroku-senpai?

“What?”

Listen, Star-Reading Staff. Even among beautiful girls, roles exist.

Mizuhi-senpai, Toa-chan, and Miroku-senpai are childhood friends.
Between them lies a bond I could never step into.

In this scenario, who should rescue Miroku-senpai to create the most beautiful outcome?

Sorciera?
No way. That wouldn’t be beautiful.
If Sorciera and Miroku-senpai were deeply intertwined in a yuri relationship, maybe.
But that’s not the case. Their connection is faint.

“Your phrasing is questionable…”

Next, me as Narou Kei saving her?
No. Guilty.
If a man swooped in to save Miroku-senpai, it’d devolve into a harem story. That’s the worst.
I want to build a yuri paradise!

Therefore, the best resolution is for Mizuhi-senpai and Toa-chan to save Miroku-senpai.
That’s Good. The most beautiful scenario for this story, and tonight’s highlight.

An timid childhood friend and a slightly clumsy warrior childhood friend rescuing their graceful older sister figure—doesn’t that sound amazing?
Seeing usually reliable Miroku-senpai being saved by those two—doesn’t that move you?

“I’m not familiar with this… Also, your rapid speech is intimidating.”

Ah, I see. Let’s study this together next time.
The Hinotsuchi Cultural Festival is coming up—we can stock up on yuri books there.

“Mysterious beautiful girls are deep indeed.”

Especially childhood friend dynamics—they’re rare and precious.
That’s why their relationship must be cherished.

So, my plan for this time is as follows.

“Yes?”

For now, I’ll observe.
If things get truly dangerous, I’ll intervene as Sorciera.
But if Mizuhi-senpai and Toa-chan seem capable, I’ll let them handle it.
I’ll adapt flexibly as needed.

“But that creature gives off my sister’s presence. Are you sure it’s fine to leave it to them?”

…Let’s prepare a convergence shot just in case.

I pointed the Star-Reading Staff at the dog.
A smaller, more restrained magic circle than the one used against Rokuhara-san appeared at the muzzle.

This should be enough for that dog.

“Always reliable, my partner.”

Nodding at the Star-Reading Staff’s reassuring words, I continued watching over the trio’s fate.
