"It must be painful for you, right?"

After all, Spica is actually in jail.

“I will also leave here to rest; I can’t stand staying here 24 hours a day.”

As she spoke, she looked at the sea otter witch again.

"So, this child is..."

"Yes, Shui Weiyi's younger brother."

"Shouldn't you call her 'little sister'?"

Spica waved her hand, and a white ribbon wrapped around the sea otter witch, who remained unmoved.

"Hmm, this is the first time I've ever seen such a docile witch."

"Is it possible that the younger brother's personality has already emerged?"

"Let me check it first."

After that, there was a long silence. We had no idea what Spica was doing in the younger brother's head. We could only wait and wait, and every now and then Dr. Spica would ask us some questions.

"Yes, the original personality is intact, with no signs of being absorbed, and her consciousness has already been connected to the thought network."

I do know the reason for that.

When I forcibly disconnected the witches by touching them, all the witches around me were affected. My brother witch was also nearby at the time, and she was obviously also separated from the collective consciousness of the occupied area by Michelle.

"Is it because it's connected to the thought network that it's not aggressive?" I asked.

"The witch personality is not aggressive, and the original personality is also in a stable state. Such patients are the easiest to treat."

Shui Wei asked, "...How long will it take for Tian Yuan to wake up?"

"Since you're in such a hurry, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Being cured in one night is already a very fast recovery speed.

"After the fusion, she needs to stay in the zodiac for a week. During this time, you can help her regain her original personality. Her personality will be influenced by the witch's personality, but she will know who she is..."

Spica waved her hand, and the cocoon containing the sea otter witch floated to the side.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Wait, Miluno."

Then Spica called me back, and even wrapped a white silk ribbon around my body.

What are you going to do?

"Let me examine you. Only half of your soul has been active for so long. Your condition is very worrying."

I understand Spica's concerns.

"It's okay. As long as Black Rabbit doesn't suddenly die, I won't be affected no matter how far away we are."

"But isn't her condition very dangerous?"

It is indeed dangerous.

After all, she represented the world in taking an unprecedented step.

That guy went off alone to the outside world, to travel to other worlds with Miss Mukuro.

Even his return depends on fate, but he occasionally receives letters from her from beyond the world...

I'm quite envious of her.

Don't you want to come along?

"I want to go, but I can't, because I still have Seruno."

I need to get home quickly.

Seruno and Animal Friends

(Cerunno)

When Miluno woke up in the morning, she found that Miluno had already gone out "hunting".

Good morning, Barbara-chan~

I greeted the little guy eating at the table.

Good morning, Seruno.

To my delight, the little green-haired sprite actually responded to me, and my mom gave her a light kiss on the forehead as a sign of praise.

Because we both like Miluno, she had been ignoring me as if in a huff, which made our relationship a bit awkward. I wasn't worried that Miluno would fall for someone else, but she always seemed to feel indebted to Barbara...

Over time, even I felt I owed Barbara something.

Since that's the case, I came up with a solution: all I need to do is make Barbara like me too.

"I'm so happy, let me smell it!"

Her hair smelled wonderful, with a natural fruity aroma that made even plain porridge taste sweet.

"Ugh, I hate it..."

She whispered shyly, trying to push me away, but she didn't have much strength; it just made her seem cute.

"What are you planning to do today? I'm off today, so let me spend the day with you?"

Milno has to go hunt witches in the occupied territories, and it's not easy for our days off to coincide. Instead of wasting time at home alone, I'd rather use today to get to know Barbara better. That girl seems to be taking care of animal girls in the forest park. I can guide them into human society and help them become real magical girls...

It sounds like a very meaningful public welfare undertaking.

"...It's very dangerous, isn't it?"

But Barbara said something else entirely.

"Look at what you're saying, what danger could small animals possibly pose?"

------

I got bitten!

When I tried to pet her head, the round-eared mouse girl suddenly bit my hand, but I had defensive bubbles on my hand so she couldn't break my skin.

But she wouldn't let go, and just hung there with her head held high on my hand...

Barbara and I went to the large pit in the forest park to take care of the animal girls living in the cabin. These wild animals, which are generally less than a meter tall, will only begin to grow after integrating into human society and eventually become true magical girls.

However, their numbers are quite large, almost equal to the number of post-magical girls, so the whole world is trying to find ways to take in these "little animals" that occasionally run onto the roads and clean up the mess left by the creator's willful and capricious behavior.

Some were adopted and raised as children, which somewhat affected the birth rate. But looking back, with so many young people suddenly appearing, given time they will all be able to integrate into society, and the resulting emotions will surely accelerate the development of the new world...

The future looks promising, but those living in the present are having a headache.

Another squirrel girl appeared. She didn't bite me, but tried to climb on me, using her hands and feet to paw at my body, her fluffy tail swishing back and forth, as if tempting me to pet her. But with one hand being bitten by the squirrel and the other holding my phone to film their actions, I really couldn't free my hands.

"No, you can't do that."

Barbara rushed out of the cabin to stop the animals from attacking me.

"Is your hand alright?"

"It would be amazing if their teeth could break through my magic."

"Yes, that makes sense..."

Barbara nodded, then touched the small animal that wasn't much shorter than herself, and continued, "They were originally the plants and animals of this forest. I am the owner of this forest, and I have an obligation to take good care of them."

Not only these, but there are hundreds of female animals within the Sacred Tree Park. Barbara's next goal is to use the park's income to care for them until they are truly integrated into human society.

This is probably what is meant by "treating someone as one's own child".

He truly lives up to his reputation as Lord Shenmu of Changkong City.

After patiently calming the mouse down, Barbara asked again, "Miluno, can you use your magic to get hot water?"

"Ok?"

"I want to give them a bath, but there isn't a bathtub big enough here."

So that's it. She wanted to use my magic to build a big bathtub.

"But with Michelle's protection, they won't get dirty, right?"

Michelle brought over another, smaller, and somewhat dull little tree spirit and replied, "Taking a bath isn't just about cleaning; it's also a form of learning."

"Okay, I'll give it a try..."

Michelle has protected these animal girls very well. Even if they get hit by a car on the road, they won't be hurt. They can bite each other without getting injured, and they won't starve to death. In other words, they are invincible before evolving into magical girls, which is why they are such a headache...

These are an astonishing number of mythical beasts; they can't be defeated or controlled. How can you not have a headache?

I used magic to blow a huge bubble that covered the bottom of the pit, and Barbara pulled out a water pipe from the cabin to start releasing water until a pool of water reached the bottom of the pit, covering the animal girl's waist.

"cold water?"

"...I have this one too."

Barbara bit her lip when she spoke, but she pulled a vial of potion from behind her and poured it into the water beneath her.

Soon, the cold water reached a noticeable temperature and had a comforting sweet aroma, and the animal girls all gathered around, licking the water with their tongues.

"No, this isn't water for you to drink!"

She hurriedly tried to stop me, but it was difficult for her to move around in the water, so I had to hold onto the little squirrel next to me.

Barbara said, "Now, help them take their clothes off."

"what?"

Taking a bath in public?

The new world isn't entirely devoid of men. As a famous tourist attraction outside Changkong City, Shenmu Park is often frequented by families who come for picnics. Taking a bath in the wild would be quite inappropriate.

Therefore, I made the bubble transparent in one direction.

From the outside, this huge bubble looks like a mirrored sphere, but you can see the outside from the inside. Even so, I don’t have the courage to expose myself naked in the wild.

Just think of it as giving a child a bath...
