No Common Sense and Not Enough Sleep

Contract sprites, like transformed magical girls, create a cognitive obstruction for ordinary people.

However, theirs is even more thorough.

Even if someone passes by nearby, all they would see is Kirishima Shiro talking to a patch of air.

“Uru, you’re back!

So that means Senior finished subjugating the monster organization?”

Joy lit up Kirishima Shiro’s face.

Uru floated in the air and blinked its round eyes.

“Youbi wiped out that monster organization completely, kuku.”

Clearly a cute creature in appearance, yet its words carried a hint of ferocity.

“That’s great.”

Before Kirishima Shiro could fully relax, Uru continued.

“But unfortunately, Youbi was contaminated by monsters and has now gone berserk.”

“Berserk?”

Uru said worriedly, “That’s right.

I tried my best to lure her to the suburbs, but her current state is far too unstable.

Her actions are no longer under her own control, and there’s no guarantee she won’t suddenly attack people nearby.”

As it spoke, Uru’s small body swayed in midair, its curly wool drooping slightly.

Kirishima Shiro asked nervously, “Then what should we do?”

Uru waved its little hooves encouragingly.

“That’s when you need to use the power of Magical Girl Silvermoon.

If you exhaust Youbi’s magic power, she’ll return to normal, kuku.”

In terms of strength, Kirishima Shiro definitely couldn’t defeat Senior Youbi.

But if the goal was only to drain her magic power…

Kirishima Shiro nodded firmly.

“I can try!”

“Such an energetic answer.

Once you take care of things at school, we’ll set off.”

As Kirishima Shiro went to ask the teacher for leave, Uru lowered its head, its expression turning gloomy.

Why had so much malice dissipated from Kirishima Shiro?

Originally, both Silvermoon and Youbi were just one step away from becoming witches.

All it needed to do was guide them into fighting each other, and it would surely reap two witches.

Now, it might instead result in only Youbi becoming a witch.

Last night, when the illusion was broken, Uru had thought Kirishima Shiro had noticed the issue with malice.

But during the test just now, Kirishima Shiro showed no abnormalities.

Was it overthinking things?

Forget it.

If Kirishima Shiro were to fight Youbi, then unless she became a witch, death would be her only outcome.

Another contract was about to be completed, and that was nothing but good news.

As for Silvermoon’s contract, so be it if it was ruined.

There would always be another magical girl who wanted to protect the city.

Thinking of a powerful witch like Youbi being born, Uru’s mouth stretched happily all the way to its ears.

…

Summer noon was when the sunlight was at its fiercest.

Just after leaving the school gate, Seriana already found herself missing the classroom air conditioning.

“Flona, did you walk to school?”

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s a huge problem.

You didn’t take a taxi?”

Flona stated the blunt truth.

“No money.”

After learning about cars as a novel means of transportation, Flona had really wanted to try one.

Unfortunately, the saint was still penniless.

“May I ask where you’re staying now?”

“Thanks for asking, just arrived, staying at Shiro’s place.”

Hearing this, the little figure in Seriana’s heart jumped up and down anxiously.

Why didn’t she run into the saint right after she transmigrated?

Then she would be living with Flona.

As the head of the household, wouldn’t Flona have to listen to her?

Seriana’s fantasy was beautiful, but she completely ignored one thing.

If she were the one who met Flona, given her identity, the more likely outcome was that Flona would rob her.

Divine arts couldn’t be used against ordinary people, but nightmares were fair game.

Even Shiro had almost been judged by Flona.

“My place is a bit far from the school.

I’ll call a taxi.”

As she spoke, Seriana took out her phone and started fiddling with it.

Walking back under the blazing sun, even if Flona could handle it, Seriana feared she’d be dried into nightmare jerky.

While Seriana was busy, Flona pointed at the phone and asked the book tied at her waist.

“That square thing, what is it?”

【My lady, you don’t even know this?】

“Less nonsense.”

【A smartphone, the most commonly used communication device…】

A faint buzzing came from within the pages.

The eyeball rotated, presenting a string of explanations.

“So amazing!”

Without relying on magic, it could transmit voices across great distances and had many convenient functions.

After hearing the introduction, Flona’s eyes lit up.

Noticing Flona looking at the eyeball book, Seriana leaned over as well.

“Flona, why are you carrying a monster with you?”

“Although the eyeball has harmed others, it has never taken a human life.

Keeping it around is useful, and it can help me make up for my lack of common sense about modern society.”

Flona explained calmly and tapped the book’s spine.

That was the result of divine appraisal.

The eyeball monster’s only chance to parasitize Hoshino Sakio had also been blocked by Flona.

So she simply kept the book with the eyeball inside and asked it whenever she didn’t know something.

She had completely started treating it like an encyclopedia.

However, to the eyeball, Flona’s words sounded like a terrifying threat.

Wasn’t she saying that if it showed the slightest ill intent, she could end it at any moment?

Frightened, the eyeball on the cover shrank abruptly, even the edges of the pages curling inward.

Soon, the taxi arrived.

As soon as the car door closed, Flona couldn’t suppress her excitement and tilted her face up, examining everything inside the car.

She was just about to ask Seriana.

But the little nightmare seemed to have all her strength drained, gently leaning against Flona’s shoulder and falling asleep.

“Such a short time awake?”

Nightmares relied on dreams, and being sleepy was nothing unusual.

There were rumors that only when facing someone important to them would nightmares struggle against drowsiness and stay awake to talk.

But Flona didn’t really believe that.

Whenever she brought out holy flames, any nightmare would wake up instantly.

Seriana falling asleep now seemed more like she truly couldn’t hold on anymore.

“Transmigration, damage, sleep, recover… zzz.”

Was she injured by spatial turbulence during transmigration?

Then let Seriana rest properly for a while.

After that, Flona had no choice but to lower her voice and ask the eyeball, which was pretending to be an ordinary book, questions like “Why does the car move?” and “How is it controlled?”

When the driver glanced at the two girls in the back seat through the rearview mirror, a fleeting thought of striking up a conversation crossed his mind.

After all, a holy-looking nun and a quiet JK were both eye-catching sights.

But then he saw Flona lowering her head to flip through a book, occasionally muttering to herself.

The other was sleeping so soundly that she didn’t even move when her hair stuck to the corner of her mouth.

His gaze casually swept over the book cover, and the words Citrus-Flavored Girls caught his eye.

So it was a case of hometown yuri blooming.

The driver sighed and abandoned the thought of chatting them up.

After arriving, Flona carried Seriana out of the car.

Inside Seriana’s home, compared to her pillow-filled consciousness space, her room was unexpectedly neat.

“Under bed, connect, computer.”

Fighting off sleep, Seriana gave Flona some hints.

“I’ll look for it, the device to display the recordings… should be this!

And the computer is?”

Flona pulled out something that looked like a computer tower from under the bed, then looked around blankly.

【On the desk.】

With the eyeball’s help, Flona finally found the computer.

This only further convinced the eyeball that its lady was completely clueless.

“Scale, insert.”

Seriana narrowed her eyes and pointed toward the device’s port.

Flona picked up the scale and gently slotted it into the groove on the side of the device.

With a soft “click,” the scale seemed to come alive.

Its patterns instantly meshed with the device’s light bands, and a stream of data surged through the cable into the computer screen.
