"..."
Silence is enough to answer everything—Amo is incredibly stubborn in this regard.
Of course, while Kosmo was a die-hard, Desdobia was different! Lively and quick-witted, she was a natural entertainer, no less so than Erwin. Sensing an opportunity for fun, she instantly approached 'Alicia' with an expectant look:
"Hey... what suggestion is this? What happened to Amo before?"
"Hmm~ You've come to the right person with this question. Let me tell you, Kosmo..." After triggering a small combo, 'Alicia' immediately began to reveal Kosmo's secrets—fairies and such are fine, but the name 'Dark Night☆Hero' is enough to kill Kosmo.
This name is a complete black mark on his past. Although he has a good relationship with Desdobia, it is precisely for this reason that he will not reveal a single word about it, and the result...
While Desdobia was still chatting happily with 'Alice', Kosmo's figure had disappeared from his seat at some point.
However, it is foreseeable that when they meet again in the future, Desdobia, being a fun-loving person, should properly teach the silent Amer a lesson about the interesting matter of 'Dark Night☆Hero'—for this, Jiang has high hopes.
He has already shared the quest to 'persuade Kos to become a fairy' with Desdobia, who said she is very much looking forward to seeing the beautiful girl in fairy form (for sure).
After breakfast, Jiang Qiao led the fairy Ellie to MEI, who was busy processing documents in the office.
"Good morning, Alicia."
"Hmm~ Good morning, MEI."
"You probably have something you want to ask me for again, right?" MEI didn't even look up, busy with the documents in her hands—just by the smell, she knew that someone had come to add to her workload again, and for that reason, MEI's voice carried a hint of resentment and annoyance.
"How could that be? Do I look like the kind of person who only comes to you when I need something?"
"Stare~"
The pink-clad girl, stared at by MEI's emotionless gaze, broke down, then coughed lightly and said:
"Okay, it is a bit... but this will be a little surprise, you see?"
Jiang then revealed the 'transformation bracelet' he had obtained the previous night.
"what?"
"Hmph, watch closely." Under MEI's puzzled gaze, 'Alicia' put the bracelet on her wrist.
Then, accompanied by a burst of rousing music and a burst of light, 'she' transformed into... twin tails!
MEI's gaze became blank and 'disdainful,' and she sighed:
"...A bracelet that can change your hairstyle is very interesting. You might want to talk to Vilvi about it. She can definitely help you make it even more interesting."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, please leave. I still have a lot of work to finish."
As a pragmatist, MEI had absolutely no interest in such 'fancy' toys.
However, Alicia's twin tails deserve praise—a brief moment of admiration, less than a second, is already a miracle for MEI, who is busy at work.
"Let me say a few more words~ This bracelet can actually turn boys into beautiful girls!"
"?"
Upon hearing this, MEI slightly raised her eyes, but the look in her eyes was extremely complex.
Okay, you say that.
It's really awesome.
but...
What's the point of turning boys into beautiful girls?
Although MEI was also quite curious about the bracelet's effects, from a purely entertaining perspective—but now...
Looking at the pile of work files, she simply dismissed her damn curiosity with a blank expression.
How could Jiang possibly miss such an opportunity to promote his products?
After thinking about it, he felt it was necessary to have a 'guinea pig' demonstrate the twin-tail transformation bracelet to Dr. MEI.
So—who will be this lucky guinea pig? (laughs)

Chapter 169 Twin-Tailed Sailor Moon: A Grand Serialized Series
Kosmo, who escaped from the clutches of 'Alicia', is training in the training ground. Although he is still a rookie, perhaps because of his past 'glorious years', Kosmo's performance is excellent among the rookies. The only problem is that his age limits his physical functions, resulting in a gap in physical fitness compared to other adult Fire Chasers.
[Seventh Ring Road - Tenth Ring Road - Eighth Ring Road...]
Kosmo was not very satisfied with the results.
Before the technology to combat the Honkai could be innovated, the warriors of the Fire Moth mainly relied on firearms... well, it's more accurate to say that firearms have always been the main theme for people in this era to fight against the Honkai. However, after the first Honkai, the Fire Moth, which was not very effective in fighting the Honkai, developed 'weapons for fighting the Honkai'.
This weapon can effectively penetrate the 'Honkai energy' force field of Honkai creatures, which is highly resistant to conventional kinetic weapons. The downside is that it requires a very high level of skill from the user.
As he trained, the boy felt a mix of frustration and anxieties.
Desdobia has learned of the glorious deeds of 'Dark Night Hero'... The days ahead are going to be tough.
but...
Even so, I will never become a so-called 'fairy'!
The image of 'Alicia' flashed through his mind—Kosmo shook his head violently, his expression filled with resistance.
Even if I, Kosmo, starve to death and jump into the eye of the storm again, I will never become a fairy or a girl!
The next moment, a message appeared on the portable communication device the boy carried—a standard wristwatch distributed by the Firemoth to all Firemoth warriors and staff—
"Warrior No. ███, you have been recruited by Dr. MEI. Please report to Laboratory No. █."
In order to combat the Honkai more effectively, the warriors of the Firemoth are obligated to cooperate with the Firemoth's internal research departments in carrying out numerous scientific research projects, including weapons experiments... Of course, human experimentation and the like, unless the higher-ups are pushed to the limit, will still consider humanity and allow participation on a voluntary basis.
Kosmo, who had signed those terms when he entered the Firemoth, was naturally aware of them—but what puzzled him was why he was the one being recruited.
According to information that Desdobia obtained from other veterans within the organization, research projects like this are usually undertaken by veterans with extensive experience in fighting the Honkai, since those who survived the Great Honkai know best what they need.
As for Kosmo – although his performance was quite good, to put it bluntly, the Fire Moth is not lacking in warriors with good results.
The warriors of the Fire Moth, whose base is all of humanity, are almost all top-notch individuals recruited from various countries; any one of them could be far inferior to him.
Despite being confused and feeling somewhat uneasy, Kosmo gritted his teeth and followed the instructions on his wristwatch to Lab ▉.
He had never met Dr. MEI—of course, that's not quite accurate either, as there was a photo pinned to the top of the Firemoth's internal network that showed Alicia, Dr. MEI, Velvi, and the infamous Mebius, who looked quite 'happy'.
Thanks to this, even newcomers within the organization can recognize the four people in the photo.
While I can recognize them, what kind of people they actually are—that can probably only be known through hearsay.
Alicia... In the world of Firemoth, probably no one is unfamiliar with this social butterfly.
Leaving aside Vilvie and Dr. Mebius, the person I'm about to meet is Dr. MEI...
The commander of the Third Honkai, an extremely rational genius scientist, and also the current official leader of the Firemoth—these labeled details are the only information Kosmo knows about MEI.
...Hopefully she won't be like Alicia.
But reality always seems to contradict our wishes.
"Hi~"
Upon entering Research Lab █ following the staff's directions, the first thing you see is 'Alicia' smiling and waving at you.
At this moment, the unease in my heart intensified into a sense of crisis, as if the word "danger" was written all over my head.
Kosmo looked blank, and desperately wanted to run away.
Then... the door behind me was closed.
...it was so hopeless.
Although he was in a panic, he had already entered the door, so Kosmo could only swallow hard and grit his teeth to come to 'Alicia's' side.
"I believe you've already seen the news on your way here. The main reason I invited you here is to test a 'new type of equipment'—well, Alicia recommended you to me." MEI, who was operating an electronic tablet, didn't reveal much emotion through her glasses. She got straight to the point and introduced Jiang.
This made Kosmo's lips twitch involuntarily—sure enough, he knew that someone was sabotaging him by calling him, a new recruit, to test weapons.
