Maybe this is the entire point of Mikuru's character - maybe this is the novel writer's way of commenting on the modern otaku love of moe characters. Maybe he's saying "So, you'd like to see a moe character come to life, eh? You'd like to see a real life girl dress up and act like this, huh? Well... fine, I'll show you what happens when a real life girl is forcefully made moe." It could be a rather biting and poignant critique on moe-love within the otaku community.
Kind of like what Neon Genesis Evangelion did by taking a few beloved anime stock character types, and putting them through the realism meat-grinder.
