Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

It suddenly turned and ran back into the alley.

Then he took the wallet from the pocket of one of the thugs lying on the ground.

“Ah Huang, your master is a law-abiding citizen. Although these hooligans look like monsters, you can’t really treat them like monsters.”

"Waaah."

It spat the wallet back out.

"Come on, I've thought of something you can eat with me."

------

then.

I bought some Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns with my dog.

------

Carrying four large plastic bags home, my empty wallet gave me new ideas about my yet-to-be-started idol career...

Besides learning how to be a good agent, you might also be able to earn some extra money.

"I am back."

"Little Leaf, wow, you bought so much?"

"It's rare for our house to be so lively, so I wanted to cook a nice meal. I'm not a professional chef, so I hope you won't mind."

Aunt Yuehan helped carry the ingredients to the kitchen, cupping her cheeks and smiling, "How could I possibly dislike them! You're such a... virtuous child!"

Virtuous and capable.

Hey, is this the kind of word used to describe your son's male friend?

“Ayao is usually too lazy. I’ve mentioned before that he basically doesn’t bother anyone at home, doesn’t cook, and doesn’t wash dishes… I’m not complaining, I just feel that he can’t continue like this. Now that you’re his mother, I hope you can give him some guidance.”

She awkwardly scratched her head.

“Actually, I was pretty much the same before. Even after Yao’er was born, Aji took care of everything at home.”

"……is that so?"

Although his thinking was flawed, Chairman Sun's abilities were beyond question.

However, after bringing the groceries in, she didn't leave. She just said, "Auntie can't help with cooking, but she can still chop and wash vegetables..."

"No need, I'm used to taking care of everything in the kitchen by myself."

Such a cold rejection made me seem heartless, so I changed my tune: "However, there are some things I'd like to ask you to help me look into."

Aunt Yuehan was very enthusiastic and raised her hand to answer, "Great! I'm very familiar with using tablets!"

"Could you please help me find out if there is any magical girl who can turn objects into gold?"

I thought she would go get the tablet, but she just squatted down at the kitchen door and hugged the dog.

"The Midas touch? Do we even need to investigate that? Among the seven magical girls in Aji's team... those you call legendary, there's one magical girl known as 'Golden Princess,' whose code name is 'Aldebaran.' Her magic is even more dazzling than Sirius's; she can permanently turn inorganic matter into gold and manipulate it."

I do have some "common knowledge" about those seven magical girls.

However, that was, after all, one of the legends who disappeared on the other side seven years ago.

Like Fomalhaut and Betelgeuse, it will likely become a breeding material for witches...

She couldn't possibly be the mysterious magical girl I met today.

but……

"'Golden Queen's' ability can only turn inorganic matter into gold? That sounds even worse than Metall's."

After all, gold is somewhat soft, and its combat power seems lower compared to magical girls who manipulate steel.

Aunt Yuehan shook her head.

"Wait a minute, Golden Princess's magic has a long range, and her large-scale golden storm is both beautiful and destructive, making it deadly to those inanimate construct-type monsters... Is Metal the magical girl known as 'Steel Dragon'? Because Yao'er said she's going to invite her to renovate the house tomorrow, I just investigated her magic and her surroundings. She's a combat-type magical girl, right?"

"Yes, she is very strong and skilled at crafting various weapons and armor from metal. She is adaptable in battle and, in addition to being a magical girl, is also a weapon master, craftsman, merchant, and researcher."

"Really? That's quite an impressive person."

"She's quite well-rounded, and she's very outgoing."

Although I'm not very familiar with "Bai Ziye".

After washing my hands and putting on an apron, I asked again, "Aren't there any other magical girls who can turn things into gold? I just saw a girl's phone suddenly turn into gold on the street."

"I'll check it out. There's probably no such coincidence..."

She stood up, leaning against the wall, but didn't leave; she just muttered to herself.

"Is it possible that Betelgeuse prepared a clone for Aldebaran as well? Fomalhaut also uses a robot from Betelgeuse... This is no small matter, we must report it to Spica."

If a witch were lurking among the people, it would indeed be very dangerous.

Chapter 8 Red + Blue = ?

(Sun Yao)

I've lived in Changkong City for so many years and I never knew that such a strange shop was hidden in this old subway commercial street.

"Come on, Sereno, hold this plush toy and look at the camera~ It would be even better if you could bite your fingers!"

Kagerou tucked a fluffy, soft shark plush toy into my arms as I was wearing my nightgown.

I felt there was something strange about her request...

"I've been a tour guide for so many years, and I'll show you the photography skills I've honed by taking pictures of tourists!"

Miss Gila then used a DSLR camera provided in the park to find the right angle for me.

"Kagerou... I feel a little... embarrassed about this."

"Don't be shy about this. You're going to be an idol, and you'll have to go through these things sooner or later. Consider it experience for the future..."

"Then why are you only filming me?"

"This setting isn't suitable for Jira and me. Only you, in pink, are suited to this cute, girly room!"

But my hair color is jet black right now...

"Oh! That's a good expression!"

click-

My shy moment while holding the shark plush toy was captured by Miss Gila's camera.

She proudly exported the photos from her camera and sent them to my phone...

I am indeed very cute!

But because it was me, I felt even more embarrassed!

This is a fairly large indoor photography park, occupying a deep railway siding. Here, you can rent costumes, cosmetics, cameras, and lighting props. The park also features various styles of scenery and environments, from cyberpunk neon lights to magnificent Central European castles and lush royal gardens. The sense of time travel between different scenes is strong, as if you are walking through a time corridor. Just visiting the park is dazzling.

But the main focus is still on taking photos.

Unlike other photo studios, this place mainly allows customers to take their own photos. The staff only provides guidance and assistance. While the photographers may not be as skilled as professional photographers, they have a greater sense of participation. Groups of people dressed in rented costumes from different eras gather in different scenes to take photos, creating a very interesting and unique experience.

Of course, a hefty deposit is required to enter the market.

After all, rented DSLR cameras are really expensive.

"Wow?!"

Wearing a yukata, Kagerou suddenly pounced on me, almost pinning me down on the bed. The thin nightgown made me sensitive to this physical contact, so I couldn't help but cry out.

"Don't be so alarmed. In Japan, it's perfectly normal for girls to hug each other while wearing pajamas."

You're kidding me!

She put her arm around my shoulder and said to Miss Gila, "Quick, take a picture of us together!"

"what about me?"

"Take a picture of the two of us first."

Miss Gila was somewhat reluctant, but she still started looking for the right angle...

Wait, the camera is positioned so low!

Kagerou and I were mostly lying down, so if the photo is taken from our toes like this... our legs will look really long... Wait a minute! Wouldn't our nightgowns and yukatas be showing too much skin from that angle?!

I held down the hem of my skirt.

"Wouldn't you get kicked out for taking these kinds of photos?!"

Miss Gila couldn't help but smack her lips.

"If you don't tell me, who would know? The memory card in the camera was bought when I entered the venue."

"I don't want to take these kinds of erotic photos either!"

click-

Even after I said that, you still pressed the shutter?!

Finally, a photo was taken where "I shyly held down my skirt, and Yang Yan rested her chin on my shoulder"...

There was no wardrobe malfunction, but our posture was very intimate. She pressed her face very close to mine, and just looking at the photo, I could almost feel her breath on my face...

"Is that all? I want to take a picture with Serino too!"

"Wait, wait a minute! I need to change my clothes! This nightgown won't do!"

"Eh..."

Gila dragged out her words in dissatisfaction, but I pushed Kagerou aside and ran out of the themed room called "Girl's Dream" towards the clothing rental counter at the park entrance.

"Hello, I'd like to change my clothes!"

The waitress asked, "Okay, what style would you like?"

"Um, to be on the safe side..."

Silk nightgowns are quite comfortable, but I really can't accept wearing them like this.
