"Oh, you're putting on that brave face now, but you looked plenty scared during the movie." Kana snickered as she nudged Naomi's side. The two had just returned to the movies and were getting ready to grab Mika for a study session. The blue-haired girl had been invited to the horror movie but had turned it down as she'd already made plans earlier in the day, something that surprised her friends since Mika loved horror movies and this one was heavily anticipated.

"I-I..." Naomi turned her head as Kana closed the door behind her, trying not to look her in the eye. "It was just your imagination." She said as her friend barely managed to keep her laughter in check.

{I guess I imagined you squeezing my hand like a vice when the masked guy leaped from the closet.} (Kana)

"If Mika had come with she'd've probably been cheering the entire time he ripped that lady apart with his-" Kana's words were interrupted by Naomi's hand covering her mouth.

"No! No! No! I watched it already, I don't need a recap. No thank you!" Naomi hissed, which made Kana giggle even more. "You're just the worst sometimes, you know that?"

{Oh yeah, I forgot, Demon Princess that's a sadist. What do I expect at this point.} (Naomi)

"Only because it's funny. You just make it all to easy to tease you." Kana winked as the two headed to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for the study session and to easy Naomi's nerves. “I'll give Mika a call, could you-" She paused admittance as the two entered the kitchen only to find Mika and Miji happily chowing down on some PB&J sandwiches. The food itself was not very shocking since Mika liked to eat, what caught the two of them off guard was that their blue-haired friend was in her Magical Girl form while chowing, minus the normal frills and wearing normal clothing.

"Oh no..." Naomi said as she entered alongside Kana. "Mika has been fully corrupted.”

"Heya!" Mika said with a goofy smile on her childlike face, jelly stuck on her lip. "How was the movie? I heard Splatterhouse 6 was gory! I can't wait to go see it with Mom next weekend!"

"Uh... Yeah, it was a great movie, but more importantly why are you here and also why are you running around as a Magical Girl without all the clothes?" Kana sighed as she watched Miji happily munch on her sandwich.

"What? Do I need a reason? Can't I be cute in peace?" Mika said, puffing her cheeks cutely. “Who died and made you the fun police?”

"Mika is very cute when she gets small." Miji giggled. "We watched a whole bunch of shows together, and I got to hug her and take a nap!"

{It was kinda like hugging the kitty!} (Miji)

"Oh, you were?" Naomi glared at the blue-haired girl. "And here I thought you had important plans. I see how it is. You ditched us to play with Miji."

"In my defense, I never said they were important, I just said I had plans." Mika said as she took a sip of water. "Miji and I had a scheduled play date that I made well before your idea for the movie. A movie that, mind you, I would've never pegged you of all people to want to see."

{Naomi is never good with gore, and ESPECIALLY scary movies.} (Mika)

"Do I have to call Mika's parents and get them over here to talk some sense into their child?" Kana sighed again before shaking her head. "No, wait. They won't do anything."

"If anything they'll just find this adorable." Naomi nodded. “Truly a depraved child spawned from depraved parents.”

"Oi! Don't be jelly of my adorability." Mika smiled as she got out of her chair and walked over to Kana. “Ain't my fault I'm as cute as a button.” She said with a cheeky smile.

"I'm not jelly

of anything, but you have some on your face." Kana rolled her eyes as she pulled a handkerchief from her bag and wiped off Mika's face.

{Its like a tired Mom helping their stupid kid after a long and tiring day at the office.} (Naomi)

"Thanks! Kana Onee-chan!" Mika said with a smile so bright and filled with joy it may very well have been strong enough to banish the Demon Lord.

"Urg..." Kana winced as she heard Mika's words. The Demon Princess had few weaknesses, though when exploited the damage inflicted by abusing them was maximum.

{NO!} (Kana)

"What's wrong, Kana Onee-chan?" Mika asked while continuing her happy smile, knowing full well what she was doing. "Did something hurt you? Are you in pain? Does Kana Onee-chan need a hug to make it feel all better." She said as she happy smile turned into a nasty smirk.

"I'm fine." Kana said as she backed away, only to be followed by Mika who hopped forward cutely. “No need for any hugs, and please stop saying that...”

"But why? Kana Onee-chan is Kana Onee-chan.” Mika giggled. “You don't look so good! Please tell me if something is wrong and I'll heal you with my Star Power if you need me to!" She as her smirk returned to a happy smile.

{You're playing dirty there Mika, dirty... And I approve! Get the Demon Princess! Strike at her weak point for maximum damage!} (Naomi)

"Mika, I'm warning you. I'll give you one last chance to-" Kana was interrupted again by a hug from her small friend which sent her over the edge.

{WAHAHAHAHAH!} (Kana)

"Its time for huggies! Kana Onee-chan needs hugs to feel all better!" Mika laughed as Kana's legs gave out from under her.

{Gotcha!} (Mika)

"Me too!" Miji said as she leaped in and tackled the two of them to the kitchen floor and joined in the fun. "Give Kana Onee-chan all the huggies! Big hug!"

"You're really are an evil Magical Girl, Mika." Naomi said as she watched the cuteness unfold, all while Kana's eyes turned to swirl as she stammered out the word Onee-chan over and over again.

{Why is she so weak to this kind of thing anyway? I guess because she was always the younger sister the idea of having one of her own is alluring in some way? Now that I think about it she nearly melted when Alice called her Onee-chan before, and Mika here is basically dialing up the childlike innocence to a level even further beyond what Alice could hope to achieve. Akagi really created a cutness WMD here, didn't she?} (Naomi)

{I'll never understand the fascination with having a younger sibling. I can tell you from experience that it's not all it's cracked up to be.} (Momo)

{Hey, I can hear you!} (Himari)

{I know, I wanted you to.} (Momo)

"And they're off to the races." Naomi sighed as the Spirit sisters began yelling at one another.

After a few minutes, Naomi decided to spare Kana the cuteness overload she'd been smacked with and pulled Mika and Miji off her; directing them out of the kitchen and into the living room where there was more room. Of course, with the fun gone Miji quickly disappeared to play with Alice and Alm which left the comical scene of a small Mika sitting in Kana's lap with a happy smile on her face while Kana's face was twisted in defeat.

"You know, I'm tempted to take a picture of this and blast it all over socials." Naomi snicked as Mika winked.

“I wonder what the reaction would be?” Mika laughed. “People would definitelyfind me cute, but they'd probably think Kana was some kind of creeper.”

"Mika... I hate you sometimes..." Kana sighed as she pat her friend on the head. Part of their deal to get her to stop calling Kana Onee-chan was that she was to be spoiled a bit, something that Kana recently agreed to so as to not melt into a puddle of mush.

"I figured you'd like having someone this cute glomb all over you." Mika said as she leaned back into Kana. "Ain't I just adorable?" She asked, turning around to face her and putting on the most cute face imaginable. “Don't you just want to spoil me all day long?”

{You know you want to.} (Mika)

"I'm going decline to answer that question." Kana sighed for what felt like the billionth time that day. "So why are you doing all this anyway? Just to pick on me? Is that a good enough reason to go running around as a child and attacking me in such a brutal manner?"

Rather than answer her question Mika simply replied with a tee-hee pero.

{Fuck you, Mika.} (Kana)

"Please don't tell me that you're like Onee-chan and have all kinds of repressed issues that you're trying to work out by playing around as a child..." Kana was hoping that she wouldn't have to deal with Catkagi two electric boogaloo except this time its Mika as a Magical Girl.

"Nah, I had a good childhood. No tragic memories causing me to start acting out here." Mika waved her off. "But do I need such a thing to want to play around? What if I just want to have some fun? Can't I just be cute and happy in peace?"

"I-I guess not but, Mika... At this rate, I'm half expecting to find you down at the park playing on the jungle jim and making sandcastles with Miji." Kana said, figuring that it was a possibility albeit a remote one.

"Uh..." Mika paused her eyes darting away from the two girls.

{SHE ALREADY DID?!?} (Naomi x Kana)

"Do I have to call the police?" Kana said, tightly squeezing Mika in her arms. “How many laws have you broken?!?”

"I just spent time with Miji and Alice!" Mika said, patting Kana's arm to call uncle. “I did nothing impure or bad! I swear on the name Magical Girl Star Guardian!”

"Knowing this idiot, she probably played around with other kids too." Naomi sighed as she pictured the scene in her head. "I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. Mika is Mika after all. You can't stop her when she's got a plan in mind."

"Even still!" Kana said as she relented from her squeezing. "Onee-chan is one thing, but I don't think we should condone Mika doing similar things."

{I've read enough manga to know where this kind of thing leads! Onee-chan flopping around as a Cat is one thing but Mika pretending to be a kid is a whole different level of nope!} (Kana)

"I swear that my intentions were and are always pure!" Mika said, hopping out of her lap and pouting. "And besides, I don't do it all the time!" She said, blowing a raspberry. "Not to mention that your Sister said it's fine if I play with the girls, so MEH!"

"Onee-chan..." Kana groaned, vowing to give the Demon a lecture once she returned. "Just because that idiot gives you permission to do, doesn't mean you should, Mika. Would you jump off a cliff if she said it was fine?"

"No, and that's a stupid example." Mika huffed, looking exactly like a grumpy and obstinate kid.

"Now, now." Naomi tried to simmer things back down. "I don't think it's that big a deal, Kana. As long as Mika isn't doing anything bad, I don't think its a problem. Especially since she's just playing with Miji and Alice. Its not like she's doing anything harmful or strange. Well, more strange than Mika's usual level of strangeness.”

*PLBBT!*

"Listen, you and I both know that the slippery slope fallacy is less fallacy and more an accurate predictor of the future at this point, Naomi." Kana replied.

"Having fun with kids isn't the only reason I've taken on my transformed appearance, Kana." Mika rolled her eyes as she sat next to Naomi, demanding head pats which were quickly provided. "I'm also testing the limits of my magic to see how long I can stay transformed and working to increase my time limit."

{Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut playing around with them is also really fun.} (Mika)

"And that's perfectly fine." Kana had no issue with that. "Just... Be mindful of things, okay? I really don't want to have to run you through with Himari if you go off the deep end into forbidden lolicon land."

{No using me to kill Mika!} (Himari)

"If I need to smite the evil, then smite it I shall." Kana nodded to herself. "We must prevent Mika from going down the dark path. If I must strike down my fiend before she turns evil, then I will."

"Hey listen, if I want questionable interactions with cute girls then I'll just go play around with my girlfriends." Mika deadpanned as Naomi patted her on the head. "They're always down for some fun."

"TMI, Mika. TMI." Kana rolled her eyes. "And I swear if I find out you're allowing them to-"

"That's not allowed, I banned it." Mika cut her off, knowing exactly what she was getting at. "Looking and spoiling is good, but more than that is off-limits."

{Why in the hell do I have to have this conversation with my friend? Oh yeah, it's fucking MIKA! Onee-chan! I'm going to smack you when you get back for enabling her stupidity!} (Kana)

"Me thinks that Kana is just envious that her widdle dwagon doesn't give her the touchie wuchies that she wants." Mika said, her cute voice that heavily contrasted with her true meaning.

*WINK*

"Himari, can you transform into a bat by chance?" Kana asked the sword girl for a bit of help.

"No, but feel free to use the flat of my blade as a club." Himari snickered as Kana summoned her.

"Oop. I suppose this means that Mika's going back to jail." Naomi chuckled.

"Hah! I don't fear it, I was born there!" Mika said with a proud puff of her chest. "I embrace the jail! Your bat has no power over me! Muahahahahaha! Send me there if you wish and I shall return at the head of an army!"

"Yeah, you'd probably just-" Kana paused as a notification came through her AR system. "Kaori? What's she messaging me for?" She said as she swiped to open her message which was a video posted online that showed some kind of large purple worm tearing through houses and causing mayhem. "What?"

"Is something wrong?" Naomi could sense that something was wrong due to Kana's facial expression that showed a combination of worry and confusion.

"Take a look at this." Kana sent the message to Naomi and Mika, who opened it and were similarly baffled by what they saw.

"Is that a familiar?" Mika asked as she watched the worm tear though a house.

"I... It... It looks like a monster from a... game." Naomi said with a bit of hesitation, knowing full well that whatever was happening was bad.

"H-Hey, this is real, isn't it?" Mika asked, worried. "Like, it's not some CGI thing, right?"

"Its real!" Kaori said as she burst into the living room, her face flushed red showing how fast she'd run to the house. "That footage was from about twenty minutes ago! The worm attacked a small village on the other side of Kyoto!"

"What?!?" (Mika x Kana x Naomi)
