Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"I see. Then I'll have to go by myself."

　Yao Chuanguang looked a little disappointed. She blinked and pointed towards the kitchen, "I don't know exactly how many days we'll be playing, but I'll cook tomorrow's meals. You can heat them up yourselves then—"

　"After that... I'll ask Congyu-chan to take them out to eat, or you can cook for yourself? The ingredients are all in the refrigerator."

　Cong Yu shook her head slightly at Yao Chuanguang's words and said, "Unfortunately, I have plans. I'm going on a long trip tomorrow... Hmm, something like a junior high school reunion?"

　"..." Huh? So that's how it is...

　Yao Chuanguang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lan Tianzhu, then at Xiao Cui. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke up and asked Xiao Cui for a favor—

　"Xiao Cui, when Cong Yu and I are not here, I'm entrusting Xiao Lan to you... I keep all my money in Cong Yu's bedside table."

　Yaochuan Guang solemnly entrusted a 12-year-old girl with the task of taking care of a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

　Although this scene looks strange

　But no one present felt it was out of place... after all, it was Nagisa Azuma.

　Hmm... but what's even stranger is why Yaochuan Guang's money is in Congyu's bedside table.

　Has Cong Yu started managing the finances in this household?!

　Of course not, it's just that Yaochuan Guang always sleeps in Congyu's room, so it's convenient for him to keep cash on hand.

　"If I don't come back the day after tomorrow or the day after that, I'll let you know in advance. When it's mealtime, you can take Xiaolan to a restaurant or eat ramen or something."

　"If it's not mealtime yet and Xiaolan says she's hungry, give her chocolate, dried fish, or biscuits..."

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's admonition, Lantian Zhu glanced at her sideways and protested, "I just don't want to go out, and I don't know how to cook, use a microwave or oven... but I still know how to find cookies to eat!"

　Only when she had run out of cookies would she collapse on the sofa and quietly wait to starve to death.

　To be honest, this is clearly nothing to be proud of.

　However, Yao Chuan Guang ignored her and continued to give Xiao Cui some instructions... just like an old mother about to go on a long trip.

　Cong Yu felt this was absolutely necessary.

　why?

　Because Lan Tianzhu cannot be expected to take care of Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui does not need to be taken care of... On the contrary, Xiao Lan is the kind of person who really needs Xiao Cui to take care of her.

　Thankfully, it wasn't Cong Yu who had to take care of Lan Tianzhu, otherwise things would have turned out badly.

　Oprah Smith: Are you coming? The Sun King said if you come, she'll come too... We'll pick her up at the dock.

　[Cong Yu: Okay, with her around, killing kangaroos will be easier... Your mutant kangaroos are too monstrous.]

　Oprah Smith: Great, it's decided then.

　-

　Oprah Smith: Are you coming? Cong Yu said if you come, he'll be with us, and we'll pick you up at the pier.

　[La: Hmph! Fine, then so be it!]

　Oprah Smith: Great, it's decided then!

　Chapter 186 As long as you kill kangaroos, you're our friend.

　It's worth mentioning that Cong Yu's "Jormungandr Train" is not a teleportation device. What does that mean?

　It means that...

　If Cong Yu were to travel from Japan to Australia on the Jormungandr train, it wouldn't be a matter of "arriving in the blink of an eye."

　This may have already been demonstrated.

　The time it takes to travel from Fengdu to Central City is enough for passengers to sit down and eat a small cake, while it only takes a few dozen seconds to get from the rooftop of a building in Fengdu to the banquet.

　If we extrapolate the speed this way, then the Jormungandr train isn't actually that fast?

　It seems to be the speed of a regular taxi?

　So, from Fengdu to Australia, wouldn't Cong Yu have to sleep on the bus for ages before she gets there?

　Of course, that's not the case.

　"..."

　"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom—"

　Sitting in the carriage of the Jormungandr Train, Cong Yu yawned as she cut up a yokan (sweet bean jelly)... However, the train was not as quiet as usual.

　From the room at the front of the carriage, a faint rumbling sound could be heard...

　That's the fuel room.

　Few of those fortunate enough to ride the Jormungandr train with Cong Yu have ever seen what the fuel compartment looks like.

　Of course, there's really no need to see it for yourself.

　It is unlikely that any mentally sound person, without psychological distortion, could accept the appearance of the Jormungandr train's fuel compartment.

　People swallowed by the Jormungandr train are usually stuffed into the carriages.

　However, if Cong Yu is willing, he can throw it directly into the fuel chamber... to become fuel, or rather, nutrients.

　The Jormungandr train does not require fuel for normal operation, summoning, attacking, or defending.

　Only when entering high-speed mode will it consume the "50KG" of "meat" stored in the fuel chamber to perform a movement that can be described as a "leap".

　The starting price is 50 kilograms of meat, enough to travel from Earth to the Moon. It's a fixed price, and we're honest with everyone, young and old.

　However, searching for aliens is rather unrealistic.

　After Cong Yu slowly put the last bite of yokan into her mouth, the train was almost at its destination.

　The process is very quick, taking only about the time it takes to eat a snack.

　"Oh... Ah! We've arrived."

　Cong Yu stretched and got off the train. Stepping over the wall, he was greeted by an empty alley... This was to be expected.

　He wouldn't stoop so low as to crawl out of the wall in full view of everyone.

　Then I immediately felt a chill.

　Even though this is northern Australia, relatively close to the equator, it's still July. So it's quite cold for many people...

　But for Cong Yu, it was merely a chill.

　"..." Cong Yu looked up at the graffiti on the wall of the alley... It was basically a picture painted with oil paint and spray paint.

　A chaotic mix of colors blended together.

　The ears were clearly not created by a professional graffiti artist; they were simply graffiti created by an amateur to express their own ideas and creativity.

　Yes, that's a nicer way to put it.

　A harsher way to put it is... graffiti by street thugs.

　It seems this side

　The community's security is so-so... because Cong Yu remembers that graffiti is illegal in many Australian cities.

　That's probably how it is in northern Australia, at least it's more chaotic than in the south.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu looked at the graffiti that seemed to be insane while taking out her phone and sending a message to Opal.

　[Cong Yu: I've arrived in Evolution City, where are you?]

　[Opper Smith: Come to Evolution Harbor, the Sun King says she's almost there.]

　"..." Evolution Harbor... Why didn't you say so earlier?

　Cong Yu reluctantly turned on international roaming on his phone and began researching how to get to the port... Then, he discovered that the alley entrance was blocked.

　At the alley entrance stood three men, scrutinizing Cong Yu's appearance and the cell phone in his hand... a typical Australian look.

　They have brown or blue eyes, darker skin, and are relatively tall and robust. Their hair color is quite characteristic of this world...

　Yes, that is, colorful.

　"Hello?"

　Cong Yu waved lightly in greeting, then watched as the three burly men approached her menacingly.

　Is this a case of highway robbery? The public security situation is truly appalling.

　then……

　"Asian? Tourist? Looking for a place to exchange money? Got separated from your friends? Need a guide? Bodyguard?"

　The Australian leading the group asked this question. He could tell at a glance that Cong Yu had very good skin and was spoiled.

　"The three of us are locals."

　Another person said in slightly accented English, "If you hire them together, it'll be one hundred dollars per hour."

　"..." doesn't seem like a bad person.

　Cong Yu felt apologetic for his habitual thinking. He put his phone away and asked, "I want to go to Evolution Port. Can you tell me how to get there?"

　"..."

　"..." The three locals looking for work exchanged bewildered glances at Cong Yu's words...

　It's super close to the port. You can almost see the pier just by looking out of the alley. And shouldn't tourists disembark at the port?

　Are you playing us for a fool?

　As the three of them were thinking this, Cong Yu pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and casually said, "I have no sense of direction."

　"I separated from my friends and played for a while. We were supposed to meet at Evolution Port, but I can't find my way... If you take me there, the money is yours."

　"..." The legendary hopeless navigator?!

　The three Australian youths were seeing a real person with no sense of direction for the first time... It's only a ten-minute walk from here to the pier!

　However, it would be foolish not to make money when you can!

　With this attitude, the three of them happily accepted the money, checked the safety line against the light, and then enthusiastically led Cong Yu on her journey.

　"Okay! Brother, we'll definitely get you safely to the dock."

　The young man, who was saying this, led the way, looking around to see if there was any danger: "The north side is quite dangerous. I thought tourists preferred to go to Sydney... How did you come to Evolution City? To see the museum?"

　The three men seemed quite talkative, and they asked enthusiastically, "Is your friend studying here?"

　"..." Cong Yu shook his head and smiled, "My friend invited me to come and hunt kangaroos... He said there was a prize."

　Upon hearing this, the three immediately began a lively discussion.

　"Hey, you've come to the right place. Our state has the highest prize money for killing kangaroos... As long as you can hit your target, you're guaranteed to make money."

　The other person showed a helpless and indignant expression.

　"The day before yesterday, my Aunt Ollie's fence was kicked over by a damn kangaroo. Several cows were kicked to death by these guys, and all the feed was eaten."

　"Yes, they're looking for food everywhere and making a mess of the house. Last week, my dad was scared half to death by the invading kangaroos. He shot a light bulb and cut his forehead... Our home is about to be destroyed by these things."

　All three of them looked very resentful.

　He complained to Cong Yu about a bunch of terrible things about kangaroos, like... kangaroo meat tastes weird, smells bad, and is tough to chew.

　Things like "I heard they rape sheep", "The recent fire was caused by the flamethrower kangaroo", and "I was eating sausage bread on the street at night when a kangaroo stopped me, beat me up, and stole my bread".

　After arriving at the port, the three said goodbye to Cong Yu and recommended several places where they could rent cars and shops where they could "get" their documents done while buying a hunting rifle.

　Yes, it's about "getting" the documents sorted out.

　What a city with simple and honest people.

　Chapter 187 Warrior, Mummy, Boy

　Opal Smith's personal Twitter account is Opal... Of course, like most Kings, this account is not associated with him.

　Or rather, the only Monster King with the blue V verification is Saint King... although the identities of many accounts are public.

　People like Cong Yu and Takemikazuchi, who are not well-known anywhere they go, are considered a minority among the "Kings".

　Well, to declare oneself king, one must naturally make it known to the whole world in a grand and dignified manner; only then can it be considered a "declaration".

　In this country, monsters have taken over the functions of magical girls... but they haven't abolished magical girls; rather, they've abolished the Magical Girl Association.
