Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"That's what insecurity is all about. Since you feel you're not good enough, instead of belittling yourself, you should find a way to make yourself good enough... Seruno-chan, why don't you try using me as your role model?"

"what?"

"Not only as a magical girl, but also as an idol, you must surpass me and climb to the very top... As long as you are willing, I will train you for a long time, after all, you are the successor of my old friend."

Climb to the top?

Surpassing Miss Sirius?

But do I really deserve this qualification?

"I can't do it, I can't be as strong as Miss Sirius—sigh!"

I suddenly got a sharp tap on the head.

But it wasn't Miss Sirius who did it...

"Why deny it before even trying? You idiot!"

I even got scolded; it was Ye Zi who scolded me.

He sat down next to me without me noticing, and the golden retriever that was clinging to him also came over and lay down, resting its head on Ye Zi's lap.

This dog has very long eyelashes; although it's not the right word, it does make it look somewhat "handsome."

"After all, you've just debuted. You... are 'Bubble Witch' Seruno... and you're quite popular online. Although most people only pay attention to your appearance, it's entirely possible to climb the rankings in one go by making good use of the newbie protection period."

While offering advice, strategist Ye rubbed the head of the golden retriever beside him.

Because I was afraid of seeing those insulting comments about myself (Sun Yao), I haven't been online much lately, but I didn't expect Ye Zi to have been paying attention to my online reputation all along... Hehe, he's so nice.

"Even so, it's impossible to surpass Miss Sirius, right?"

She is the world's number one magical girl and idol. Even after becoming a magical girl, she remains an unattainable pinnacle for me.

"Then let's leave Sirius aside for now."

Ye Zi tapped the wooden floor and gave a smug smile.

"Idiot, I'll be your manager. Let's take it one step at a time, starting with our official debut!"

Chapter 11 Do you want a dog?

(Sun Yao)

The four-hour training session has ended.

I'm exhausted.

I don't even want to move a finger.

I lay there on my back on the dance studio floor, my white off-the-shoulder top now transparent, my body soaked with sweat, and I could even feel the beads of sweat sliding down my skin from my waist, which was a little itchy.

However, Ye Zi seems to be peeking at me?

Although I saw him playing with the dog every time I looked up, I could definitely feel his gaze.

Hehe, even though you act like you don't care, you probably still do care, right?

After all, it's puberty, so it's not hard to understand why they might be interested in my body.

but……

I'm still a little annoyed that they were spying on me for this reason.

"Well then, that concludes today's training. It's about time to head back for dinner."

Although she danced with me, Miss Sirius didn't break a sweat at all. She fiddled with her elegant blonde hair and said, "Serno-chan, if there are no other arrangements, come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to continue training and stretching."

“…Eh.”

I dragged out my dissatisfaction.

With today's training intensity, it's uncertain whether he'll be able to get up tomorrow!

"No objections allowed, unless you and Miluno can team up to subdue me. If you can't, then you'd better attend class obediently! And also, keep smiling!"

Even when they're exhausted, they still manage to smile. Even a capitalist's sweatshop doesn't have such excessive rules!

"But the courses you arranged won't make me stronger overnight, will they? Practicing so hard every day, won't my chances of winning be even lower?"

Even if I could keep up with her dance moves, my eyes couldn't keep up with Miss Miluno's speed. It was supposed to be two against one, but it was very difficult for Miss Miluno and I to coordinate, so the odds of winning were just too low.

"How to defeat me is the question you need to consider."

Miss Sirius didn't mind that I was covered in sore sweat, and even took the initiative to support my arm and help me up from the ground.

How could I not be excited to have the world's number one idol right next to me? It felt like my muscles had gained a bit more strength.

"Leaf, lend a hand to the nest."

With his other hand, he draped his hand over Ye Zi's shoulder.

He hesitated for a moment, but still offered his help, supporting my wet back.

At this point, she stopped resisting contact with me?

"Let's go back to the mansion and I'll take you to see Miss Miluno!"

How could I possibly see it!

Even though he was screaming inside, he still maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Well, Miss Miluno looks quite badly injured. I think it would be best not to disturb her today."

Although I refused, continuing to refuse isn't a solution.

I must create a situation where it is impossible for me and "Miluno" to appear together.

"Miss Miluno recovered very quickly, she should be fine by now... Hmm?"

Seruno released me halfway through her sentence and pulled out her ringing cell phone.

It's a text message.

Her light brows furrowed instantly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"...Because Ye Zi wasn't included, Sister Wei took Miss Miluno to Oahu. She also asked me to tell Miss Sirius... that they don't need to prepare dinner for them."

I clenched my fist without batting an eye and shouted "Yay!" in my heart.

"It's too late to say now, Melissa has definitely already made arrangements."

Sirius gave me a meaningful look and asked, "So, they're planning to spend the night on Oahu?"

"They didn't mention that. They said they'd be back later after playing."

"But it can't be too late, or we won't be able to rent the yacht back."

Hey, it would be even better if they couldn't come back.

With such intense exercise today, Serino must have passed out the moment her head hit the pillow. Well, that means her first day in Hawaii is over safely.

Yin Wei was a great help; it's good to have such a capable liaison. Unfortunately, she's from the association, so I can't completely let my guard down around her.

As I was feeling sentimental, something tugged at my trouser leg from behind.

Turning around, I saw the beautiful golden retriever that had initially given me a headbutt and then played with me for four hours. It actually chased me out of the wooden shed.

Is it because you can't bear to part with it?

"To be honest, I don't even know its name."

"A name? It doesn't have a name yet."

"Huh? Miss Sirius doesn't name her dog?"

Sirius helped the golden retriever stand up by supporting its front legs. The retriever was quite large, not much shorter than Sirius himself, and looked to be about 1.3 meters tall.

"Boyfriend, you might have misunderstood something. These kids aren't my pets. This is 'Canis Major', a legitimate commercial kennel! Except for a few, most of these kids are going to leave Naboo Island."

"Oh? So it's for sale!"

"After all, I need to make money, otherwise where will the money for the association's operation come from?"

These dogs are all products of Sirius. The island grassland kennel, which originally had a dreamy atmosphere, has become more realistic.

"They're so big now, they still won't sell, right?"

I know that raising a dog requires building a bond from a young age.

"Hey, are you underestimating my sales ability? They've all been trained to be very obedient. As long as you find them good homes, they'll definitely be the best and most obedient pets... I think this kid is very attached to you. Boyfriend, have you ever thought about getting a dog?"

Huh? They're trying to sell me something?!

My apartment does allow dogs, and my parents probably won't object, since they don't have time to spend with me, and having a dog to relieve their loneliness is perfectly reasonable.

But before that...

"Excuse me, how much does your dog cost?"

"It's only about four hundred thousand US dollars."

"So expensive! Even if you sold me, you still couldn't afford it!"

This dog is worth as much as an apartment in the city.

Luckily, I was careful.

As expected of a product from the world's number one idol, the premium is indeed outrageously high.

"This child likes you so much, it wouldn't hurt to give him to you, would it?"

Are you going to give me an apartment in the city?

I looked at Serino and asked, "Idiot, do you want to have a dog?"
