Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Yao'er, let's put it away for today."

"Ah."

I also think we can't feed Golden Number anymore. This dog is obviously overweight and lacks exercise. Raising a dog isn't like raising a pig; we need to pay attention to its weight...

I closed the refrigerator door, and the Golden Rooster made a pitiful "woof woof" sound next to me, but I just found it amusing.

"Ye Zi has gone on a long trip. If you can lose weight during this time, he'll be very surprised when he comes back and sees you, right?"

"Ooh-woo—"

As if struck by something, it suddenly quieted down, no longer thinking about the steak. With a serene expression, it returned to the living room, curled up in its doghouse on the balcony, closed its eyes, and prepared to sleep...

This dog is quite the actor.

"Ah Huang, Yezi isn't home tonight, why don't you come and sleep with me?"

The lines were perfectly fine, but they just sounded weird when I said them.

"Woof? Woof!"

It quickly got up and darted into the leaf's bedroom.

Upon closer inspection, she was already lying on her back in bed, covered with a blanket.

The mother asked, "Oh dear? Xiao Yezi isn't here. Are you sleeping in his bedroom again tonight?"

"Yeah, I've gotten used to sleeping in that spot. I can't sleep when I go back to my bedroom."

Besides, Miss Metal's housing renovation project is not finished yet. My bedroom wall has been torn down. How could I possibly sleep in such a room?

The mother covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Hehe, no wonder you climbed over there last night."

I shrugged.

"As a result, Yezi went to sleep on the sofa in the living room."

The mother explained, "Don't blame him, he's just afraid of doing something wrong."

I think he was afraid I'd do something... I know I'm not a very good sleeping posture.

I activated the teleportation aura to send my mother back to her room to sleep, then I pulled back the blanket, lay down next to the furry dog, and hugged it from behind.

"Awoo~"

It let out a soft chirping.

The Golden Number was very comfortable to hug, like a large teddy bear. It was very clean and had no smell, but its body temperature was a bit hot for people, so I kicked the blanket off.

Goodnight, Ah Huang...

I stroked the soft fur on its belly.

"You're going to wake me up tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Wang~"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trainee Agent

(Albinocotyledon)

After finishing the call with Serono, Sirius pulled me into the bedroom, leaving Halley and Zara completely bewildered.

"As you requested, I've already smoothed things over with Serino-chan, so you can relax and spend time with your new boyfriend."

Hey, listen to this, what kind of talk is this?

What is a new lover?

It makes me sound like some kind of womanizing playboy.

“There’s nothing between me and Miss Halley. Please don’t add unnecessary drama to my story. I did this out of sympathy and curiosity.”

Opportunities to get up close to that dark energy and the ecology of the strange beings like this are rare. Halley's behavior so far has been relatively normal, and she hasn't gone to extremes to carry out any terrorist attacks. Even if she has come into contact with the dark energy, it's not appropriate to punish her severely unless she causes any trouble...

"Yes, yes, you're so pure! A modern-day Liu Xiahui, a rootless saint, willing to abandon his young, lovely, and weak wife to help a down-on-his-luck idol succubus. What kind of spirit is this? I'm so moved I almost laughed out loud... Hurry up and take her away, it's almost time for the beautiful girl to go to sleep."

Sirius gave me a sarcastic, dismissive look, and I had a feeling she was a little annoyed with me, but it wasn't directed at Halley, it was just at me...

Besides, as the Star Crystal, why would she need to sleep?

After leaving the bedroom and briefly explaining the situation, Halley obediently followed me out of the Imperial Hotel.

"Halley, Sirius has already made his offer, so that's all for tonight. I'll come to the office to see you first thing tomorrow morning..."

When I said that, she asked, "Huh? What else do you want to see me about?"

This question has stumped me.

I only said I wanted to connect her with Sirius, and that's already done. Now I don't seem to have a reason to continue following her. I can't exactly say I'm spying on a weirdo, can I?

She has absolutely no self-awareness about this.

Before I could come up with a reason, a knowing look appeared in those gleaming eyes.

"Oh! So, you really want to be a magical girl idol?"

"Huh? Hmm."

Is that what she was thinking?

Well, I'll agree to that for now.

“No problem. It’s really unreasonable for an idol agency to only have one idol. I will take responsibility and train you to be a qualified idol.”

"Then, how about I start by learning how to work as an agent?"

"You want to be my agent?"

"I want to understand this industry first, so an agent who takes care of all sorts of trivial matters for idols is undoubtedly the best solution."

"A manager? Hmm, it's true, being both an idol and a manager requires a lot of energy and time..."

She rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then said, "Then you can be my assistant manager! Of course, at this stage, whether you are an idol or an assistant, I can't afford to pay you a salary or provide meals."

"Hey, how can you say such things with such confidence?"

So, succubi disguised as humans really can't speak human language?

Noticing my dissatisfaction, she quickly explained, "It's just a temporary payment. Once I make a comeback, I'll have the money to pay your salary."

"Okay, then I'll be interning at your place tomorrow... right?"

This does match the excuse Sirius gave Seruno.

"Hmm, I'll explore my magic and techniques tonight."

Knowing her abilities as a monster, I can prepare countermeasures in advance to deal with her if the situation worsens. However, judging from the current examples, these monsters who were transformed from humans are all very... weak.

As I watched Halley board the last bus home, I realized I had nowhere to go.

Sirius said I went to do an internship, so if I go back now, won't the lie be exposed?

When I encountered trouble, I dialed...

------

Magical Girl Liaison:

Professional support staff who help magical girls solve their problems.

------

"In conclusion, I apologize for disturbing you these past few days, Ms. Yin Wei."

"It's alright, after all, I promised to be your secret liaison."

I just wanted to ask Ms. Yin Wei to help me find a hotel to stay in, but she ended up picking me up and taking me to her home herself.

This is truly an unexpected path.

"Don't you live with Lu'er?"

“My sister lives at home with my parents, while I moved out to live alone.”

"You twins don't get along?"

"No, it's just that I'm more used to being alone and it's more comfortable for me. Although I don't dislike my sister, she's quite noisy."

"Oh, I understand."

Miss Lu'er has a childlike quality that makes her seem like she's never grown up. When you first meet her, it's easy to be charmed by her liveliness and cheerfulness, but if you spend a lot of time with her, she can be a bit "bearish." Also, unlike Miss Yin Wei, she's not good at reading between the lines.

"It's getting late. You can make do here for now. I'll find you a better hotel tomorrow."

"Okay..."

I kicked something as soon as I entered the house.

Despite giving the impression of being a meticulous person, the house was a bit messy, with several heavy cardboard boxes piled up in the entryway, as if she herself had just moved into the small two-bedroom apartment.

"Ah, those are potions to be provided to medical institutions. They are improved and diluted versions of the experimental products that were given to you."

"...You're that magical girl who makes medicine?"

"Of course not, it's just that she's also under my care, just like you."

The living room was small and had no television. Three soft single sofas and an oval glass coffee table formed Yin Wei's reception area. There was also a dining table next to it, which also served as her office area. Her laptop was on, indicating that she was dealing with association-related matters before I came to disturb her.

Sitting down on the sofa, I asked again, "When will you take me to see her? I've been treated by her medicine twice, and I need to express my gratitude to her in person."

"Barbara doesn't like meeting people and doesn't contact anyone except me. I can pass on your thanks, but she definitely won't want to see you." Is she a magical girl who, like me, values ​​the secrecy of her identity?

I have something I'd like to ask the creator of the "potion".

But Yin Wei didn't plan to take me to see the magical girl, so I had no choice but to tell her about what had happened to me.

"Actually, my body is acting strangely; I wonder if it's a side effect of that potion..."

I was interrupted by Yin Wei before I could finish speaking.

"There are side effects? Why didn't you say so sooner? It's already in mass production, isn't it a bit late?"

Aren't you guys being too hasty?
