Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Hisami Shibasaki, who looks to be only a teenager, is also somewhat saddened by her own maturity... or rather, by the fact that sweet love has nothing to do with her.

　There aren't many people who can truly fall in love with and marry a magical girl.

　On one hand, the magical girl profession is too dangerous; people die very quickly. On the other hand, magical girls' genetic structure is different from that of ordinary people.

　The inability to have offspring is a fatal flaw.

　Sweet, pure love... can only be found in these young, immature magical girls.

　Unfortunately, Shibasaki Hisami lacked this beautiful love when she was still immature.

　Hisami Shibasaki: *crying*

　-

　"..." Lan Tianzhu silently looked at Cong Yu, his eyes thoughtful.

　For some reason, Lan Tianzhu always felt something was off... Cong Yu's transformation, Cong Yu's attitude, Cong Yu's maturity, and Cong Yu's busyness.

　Cong Yu's wide social circle is somewhat strange.

　Lan Tianzhu sometimes felt that Cong Yu lived a life that was too easy... No, that's not quite right.

　To be more precise, it's that they were "too adept".

　This ease and confidence seems a bit odd coming from a high school student... even if he's been an analyst since before.

　Hmm, not sure, I'll look into it further.

　Chapter 155 The Attack on Beidu

　"Wow, the snow is so heavy... It's even heavier today."

　Takemikazuchi rested his tiny golden paws on the windowsill, watching the snow falling outside: "Snow Woman, did you bring this snow to Hokuto?"

　Looking out the window, what comes into Takemikazuchi's view is a pure world covered in "white".

　Whether it's distant buildings, the outlines of skyscrapers, or the pine and cypress trees by the roadside that brave the cold, everything seems frozen in time under the blanket of snow.

　This is a kind of tranquility that belongs to the northern capital.

　There were no pedestrians on the street, only a few vehicles with specially designed tires struggling to move forward.

　How should I put it? It doesn't quite feel like Japan, but more like a country in the northern hemisphere... like Russia.

　Humans would need a long time to adapt to living in such extreme cold.

　However, it seems that the people of Beidu are adapting quite well.

　Kenjiro blinked, picked up the phone hanging around his neck, and prepared to take a picture... but after thinking about it, he realized there wasn't anything worth taking a picture of.

　If his friends want to see snow, they can come to Beidu within half a day.

　"It wasn't snow I brought... but I'm still partly responsible for it."

　The Snow Woman replied simply, explaining, "I have taken over the Northern Capital and provided a home for the Snow Fairy and the Ice Spirits. Their gathering will naturally cause the entire Northern Capital to be covered in snow and ice."

　"..."

　"Oh...it's so beautiful."

　Having understood, Kenjiro curled up on the windowsill and couldn't help but be inspired to recite: "After waking, the pavilion and the dream both fade and bright. The west window is white, the cool moonlight falls in profusion, and the courtyard is filled with lilac snow."

　The snow woman paused for a moment, then quickly made a judgment...

　"That doesn't sound like a word you could make."

　In response to Yuki-onna's words, Takemikazuchi pursed his lips, his tail swishing behind him: "I heard Murasame mention it... I thought it was beautiful, so I remembered it."

　But what do you mean by "doesn't sound like it"? Does that mean I, Takemikazuchi, really have absolutely no literary talent?

　With this in mind, Takemikazuchi raised his head, looked at the heavy snowfall, and thought about composing some elegant poems and haiku to change the impression he left on everyone.

　Takemikazuchi: "..."

　After a long silence, the only sound in the office was the "swish, swish" of the pen in Yuki-onna's hand writing on paper.

　It wasn't until Yuki-onna stamped the manuscript with her written comments that she realized Takemikazuchi had been silent for a long time.

　Are you asleep?

　But it seems that didn't happen...

　"Takemikazuchi? What are you thinking?"

　When asked this question by the Snow Woman, Takemikazuchi pulled his thoughts back from the various unrhymed and inelegant phrases.

　Feeling somewhat ashamed, he didn't want to share with others the fact that he had just tried his best but couldn't come up with a single line of poetry.

　"Um, I'm here..."

　But before Takemikazuchi could say anything, Yuki-onna sensed something and looked out the window.

　Although it wasn't very noticeable under the heavy snowfall, the Snow Woman could clearly feel... the barrier rising.

　Therefore, monsters have begun to attack the Northern Capital.

　"Yeah, here we go again..."

　The snow woman pondered this, resting her chin on her hand and gazing out the window: "Monster attacks have become more and more frequent in recent years."

　Seeing that the Yuki-onna showed no sign of moving, Takemikazuchi asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to kill the monster?"

　The Snow Woman, however, was not in a hurry about this.

　"It's just a monster; my men will handle it."

　With that in mind, Yuki-onna decided to wait a while before dealing with official business. Taking a break, she fiddled with her phone for a bit, then casually chatted, "When are you going to recruit a group of subordinates?"

　Takemikazuchi: "..."

　As for his subordinates, he does have some... In the streets and alleys of Japan, as long as he gives the order, stray cats and dogs will gather to become his army.

　But what I said was really embarrassing.

　"I... I'll talk about it after I become king."

　"So when do you plan to declare yourself king? And where do you plan to declare yourself king?"

　"Uuuuuuu..."

　Seeing the conflicted look on Takemikazuchi's face, Yuki-onna was about to imitate Murasame and continue to tease him.

　"Boom boom boom——"

　There was a knock on the door.

　"Lady Yuki-onna, are you there?"

　To the seemingly serious voice of the girl outside the door, the Snow Woman calmly replied, "Frost Fairy? Please come in."

　The door opened, and a girl dressed in a blue and black uniform, wearing a fluffy hat, with a straight back and meticulous manner, stepped into the room.

　"Lady Yuki-onna, I apologize for disturbing you."

　The frost fairy, serving as the snow maiden's adjutant, nodded earnestly before immediately getting down to business: "More than ten minutes ago, the Northern Capital was attacked by monsters."

　Yes, the Snow Woman guessed that.

　"Within two minutes of the barrier rising, the Frost Patrol reached the monster and began fighting... but they were unable to stop the monster's attack."

　As the frost fairy spoke, a hint of shame appeared on her face: "After the news was reported to me, I went to the scene, but I still couldn't solve the problem."

　Takemikazuchi was somewhat surprised by this. He jumped down from the windowsill: "What kind of monster is this? It's so strong!"

　The frost fairy felt even more ashamed in response to her superior's question: "We can't see the original form. From the appearance, it looks a bit like a ghost. The energy level reaction is only seven digits, but... all our attacks are ineffective."

　A negative magic energy level in the seven figures.

　If I had to describe him, he'd be something like... a brainless deputy leader.

　A six-digit number can be considered a brainless freak executive, an eight-digit number can be considered a brainless leader... At this moment, the Frost Fairy is actually a little stronger than an eight-digit monster.

　It's around 8.2 or 8.3, which is stronger than the average leader.

　It's really wrong of you to be unable to beat your opponent.

　"We're not incapable of winning, we're ineffective."

　Frost Fairy felt that this was not specific enough, so she added: "Instead, the opponent completely ignored our attack... After the spell hit the opponent, it had no effect whatsoever."

　"..." Ghost-like monsters have indeed appeared, ignoring the army's bullets and artillery fire. However, they are actually more vulnerable when hit by spells.

　That is, what is called "ignoring physical damage".

　But conversely, if we completely ignore spell damage, could it be a ghost in the opposite direction? Are there really such monsters?

　Neither Takemikazuchi nor Yuki-onna really understood it.

　"I understand, I'll go there myself."

　As Xue Nu spoke, she stood up from her seat and sighed softly, "When will I be able to entrust the management of Beidu to you with peace of mind?"

　As the snow woman spoke these words and walked slowly downstairs, the frost fairy lowered her head apologetically.

　The Frost Fairy felt that she had let down the Snow Maiden's expectations.

　Then she felt a tap on her knee...

　The other person was following behind Yuki-onna. When Kenmikazuchi passed by, he sighed with a human-like expression, "Sigh, when will Yuki-onna be able to entrust Hokuto to you for management?"

　Frost Fairy: "???"

　Chapter 156 The Black Hole, It's a Black Hole!

　"Boom——"

　"Boom!!!"

　"..." A pitch-black and enormous "silhouette," seemingly different from the layers of this world, was relentlessly attacking the barrier that Beidu had deployed.

　Yes, it was an attack, not a collision.

　It was visible to the naked eye that the monster had hands.

　Its basic structure resembles a fleeting ghost, but it has two small, stubby arms that are separate from its main body and are attacking the barrier with punches.

　And floating around it, it seems to be...

　Ice crystals?

　Around this monster were countless strange people belonging to the Northern Capital, staring at it with wide eyes.

　It's not that they don't want to fight, but that it would be useless for them to go up and fight.

　Their combined attack, when it hit this strange man, was like a water gun hitting the surface of water—it had almost no effect.

　Well, it's not that there were absolutely no useful attacks.

　While the Frost Fairy was reporting to the Snow Woman, they discovered... that this monster seemed to be simply unafraid of ice and snow.

　Attacks with water or ice seem to actually heal the monster.

　However, if some strange people use fire magic to attack, the monster will actually be attacked and react accordingly.

　But here's the problem...

　In the entire capital city, it's unlikely that you can catch ten strange people who can use other spells to attack... Since they've all come to live in the capital, they must all be strange people like Ice Princess or Snow Elf.

　Just when everyone was at a loss, their savior finally arrived.

　"I'm here. Have you found anything?"

　When the frost fairy asked this question, the strange people first greeted the Snow Maiden who had come with them, and then they all talked at once about their discovery.

　"..." Listening to these people's descriptions, Takemikazuchi flicked his tail in confusion: "Ineffective cold, freezing and other such attacks... including ice spikes."

　"This sounds a bit like ice element... element or something, I think I've seen it in a game show before."

　Takemikazuchi's description was vague because he himself didn't play games, so he could only give a general overview... after all, he didn't even have a cell phone before.

　Their understanding in this area is not as good as that of the Snow Woman.

　If that monster is indeed an elemental life form, then it could be quite troublesome.

　Ice-attribute spells are ineffective; damage can only be inflicted by attacks of other attributes, and its regenerative abilities are as powerful as those of a normal monster.

　From this perspective, it's reasonable that the Frost Fairy couldn't handle it.
