The Legend of the Golden Consort

(Bai Ziye)

Jolina's appearance was an unexpected surprise.

A proper idol agency should have other idols besides managers. If I'm not mistaken, there should also be other magical girls in Kuroro Agency...

Ceruno and her two friends left the lingerie store.

A little further on the road is a restaurant, but with the Golden in tow, I don't know how to follow them in.

Just as they were thinking this, a disturbance came from the opposite direction from which Ceruno and the others had left. A thug with a pompadour, whose face practically screamed "bad boy," was thrown out of a side alley and slammed onto the main road, wearing a pain mask and groaning foully.

"Hmph hmph hmph ah ah ah--!!"

In addition to the main roads, the old subway also has a variety of side roads. These side roads were originally used as emergency exits, power distribution rooms, or for the subway to turn around temporarily, but now they have all been paved with asphalt and have become part of this old subway pedestrian street.

"... fighting?"

To throw a grown man like that, that takes considerable strength...

"Oh no, Goldie!"

I then realized that the Golden was waiting for me at that fork in the road. Ignoring Ceruno's matter, I ran towards the scene of the incident.

When I ran to the fork in the road, I saw that although there were many people watching and taking pictures, there was no one standing in the fork. Instead, there were four or five thugs lying on the ground, writhing like maggots.

It's obvious that he got taught a lesson by some tough guy while trying to pick a fight or flirt with someone.

"Goldie!"

I called out again.

"Woof!"

The Golden then emerged from the alleyway on the Other Side.

"You scared me to death! Don't run around!"

"Ooh--"

He whimpered softly, like a child who had done something wrong, making it hard to scold him.

When she turned back, Ceruno and her group had already disappeared.

Lost them.

"There's no other way, let's grab something to eat, then go to the convenience store to buy some groceries and head back?"

Ahead was a food street, and the air was filled with a cacophony of pungent smells, making it difficult for the Golden to detect the scent of Ceruno in that environment.

"Woof."

The Doggy has its eye on an affordable all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant.

"You can't eat things that are high in oil and salt. Do I have to tell you several times before you understand?"

"Hmm--"

"Playing the victim won't work!"

"..."

It started to stand up and hug me with its paws.

"After all, a barbecue restaurant wouldn't let Doggy in, would it? How about this, when we get to the convenience store later, I'll buy you a whole-cut steak to treat yourself, okay? Your master doesn't have much money, this is a huge expense..."

"Woof!"

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.

"Goldie, your master is a law-abiding citizen. These thugs may look like monsters, but you can't really mistake them for 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 Doggy.

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'm back."

"Little Yezi, wow, you bought so much!"

"It's rare for the house to be 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 groceries 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 a term used to describe my son's male friend?

"A-Yao 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, A-Ji took care of everything at home."

"... is that so?"

Although his thinking was flawed, Chairman Sun's abilities were generally unquestionable.

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

"The Goldmaking? Do we even need to investigate that? Among the seven magical girls in A-Ji's team... those you call legendary, there's one known as 'Golden Consort,' codenamed 'Aldebaran.' Her magic is even more dazzling than Sirius's; she can permanently transform 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 material for creating witches...

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

But...

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

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

Aunt Yuehan shook her head.

"Wait a minute, Golden Consort'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 Monster... Is Metal the magical girl known as 'Steel Dragon'? Because Yao'er said she's going to ask her to do house renovations tomorrow, I just investigated her magic and her surroundings. She's a combat-type magical girl, right?"

"Yes, she's very strong and skilled at crafting various weapons and armor from metal. She's adaptable in battle, and besides being a magical girl, she's also a weapons 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 to gold? I just saw a girl's phone suddenly turn to gold on the street."

"I'll check it out; it's unlikely to be such a coincidence..."

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

"Is it possible that Aldebaran Betelgeuse well? Fomalhaut also used 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.
