Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　But in fact, Cong Yu had already noticed it.

　He even checked whether the chat he was holding was the kind that could be seen by others... Only after confirming that it was okay did he allow Yaochuan Guang to approach.

　"Uh...uh..."

　Yaochuan Guang was spying on her, deliberately making noises to remind Cong Yu that he was about to peek... To be honest, she was quite cute like that.

　However, this time Cong Yu did not block the phone.

　“Gareth from the Far Shore…isn’t this Far Shore-senpai’s older brother?”

　Yaochuan Guang, somewhat surprised, asked, puzzled, "Strange, how do you know Congyu-chan...?"

　Halfway through his sentence, Yaochuan Guang suddenly remembered that Congyu had visited the Yuanan family before, mentioning that Congyu was some kind of eccentric...

　But there was no follow-up for a long time, so she forgot about it.

　Realizing that Cong Yu didn't object to his spying, and instead started touching his head, Yao Chuan Guang began to watch Cong Yu's chat without restraint.

　Then, at first glance, it made her a little nervous.

　"Over three hundred jin?"

　Slightly surprised, Hikaru continued looking down and then commented, "Oh, their values ​​align with those of Toki-senpai's brother. They had a great chat... Ah, isn't that good? Making friends is always a good thing."

　Cong Yu nodded in satisfaction at Yao Chuan Guang's words, whose values ​​aligned with her own: "Yes, it's always good to have more friends."

　Even if we can't be friends, we have to force ourselves to be friends.

　"Furthermore, if you truly like someone, you can change yourself very quickly... with someone urging you on..."

　If you keep improving, losing weight won't be difficult.

　As Yao Chuan Guang spoke, he looked away, stuck out his bottom and pushed Xiao Lan aside, sitting between Cong Yu and Lan Tian Zhu, putting his arm around their shoulders and embracing them on either side.

　"Spending time with cheerful people can make even gloomy people become more cheerful, don't you think, Congyu-chan?"

　"..." Why are you asking me this?

　Cong Yu rolled her eyes and slapped Yao Chuanguang's hand away; "That's not necessarily true. Because I've been with idiots for a long time, I haven't become stupid."

　Yaochuan, the Idiot, Guang: "???"

　-

　"It's so lively outside..."

　Xiao Cui blinked, her eyes sparkling as she looked outside: "The streets are all decorated with lanterns and colorful flags, is it time for a summer festival?"

　Yes, just as Xiao Cui said.

　On the streets outside Fuuto, many lanterns, banners and other decorations have appeared, adding to the festive atmosphere and reminding people that the summer festival is coming soon.

　It's clearly visible that many food stalls have started preparing...

　However, it wasn't held at everyone's residences, but rather at Senri Square, where the banners were simply to enhance the festive atmosphere.

　"Yes, the summer festival."

　Cong Yu replied, resting his chin on his hand and eating chocolate as he spoke, "It will be held at Qianli Square tomorrow."

　Speaking of summer vacation, there are some holidays worth noting.

　Well, generally speaking, everyone pays a lot of attention to the "summer festival". The summer festival is usually held between mid-July and late August each year.

　Watch the fireworks display, participate in temple fair games, etc.

　And then there's the yukata...

　It's worth mentioning that Cong Yu doesn't go to temple fairs... at least she wouldn't participate in them before.

　Because of the summer festival, it would be too boring to just wander around and play by yourself, making it seem like you're trying to "enjoy solitude".

　Just as he wouldn't go to an amusement park alone, he wouldn't go to a summer festival alone either... He'd just buy some candied apples and distribute them at the company, that would be enough.

　Unfortunately, the magical girls clearly had different opinions.

　"Congyu-chan! Congyu-chan! Do you have a yukata? I've never seen you wear one before... Should I buy you one?"

　Yaochuan asked this question, then looked at Xiaocui: "I also bought a few yukatas for Xiaocui to wear at the summer festival."

　……

　Why didn't they ask me if I was going to participate, and instead immediately asked me if I had a yukata...? Actually, I did.

　As Cong Yu nodded helplessly, Xiao Cui also nodded: "Yes, Brother Cong Yu doesn't have a yukata... I know!"

　"..." Wait, how did you know that?!

　Are you a cockroach in my closet? Should I prepare more mothballs?

　“I have a yukata.”

　With that, Cong Yu declined Yao Chuan Guang's offer and stopped her from excitedly opening her phone to select men's yukata styles.

　Then, Cong Yu simply said, "It seems that when I took it to the dry cleaners before, a snow leopard with slanted eyes and a white forehead borrowed it on the way. I'm going to ask it to get it back now."

　(tiger:???)

　With that, Cong Yu walked out of the living room, indicating that she would be right back.

　Lan Tianzhu thought that Cong Yu's nonsense was too far-fetched.

　Yao Chuanguang almost immediately exclaimed, "As expected of Cong Yu, he actually has a snow leopard friend."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "???"

　Amidst Lan Tianzhu's confusion, Xiao Cui nodded in agreement: "Hmm, I thought Brother Cong Yu only knew cats, dogs, sparrows, and crows, I never imagined he would have such a relationship with Xue Bai."

　Lantian Zhu: Are you serious?

　Lan Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, then pondered Cong Yu's character design... Hmm, it does seem quite possible.

　With so many animal friends in the Congyu area, who knows, there might actually be a snow leopard among them?

　Gradually, Lan Tianzhu began to believe that Cong Yu had gone to ask his snow leopard friend for his yukata back... Yes, she believed it.

　It seems to be a side effect of shifting one's focus of thought to the lower body...

　Already appeared!

　Chapter 198 The Summer Festival is About to Begin

　The summer festival starts in the afternoon... When it gets a little dark, the summer celebration festival will be held at Senri Plaza.

　The reason it starts in the afternoon, rather than the whole day.

　Yes, it's because quite a few people have to go to work... Although students are on holiday, working people don't have this kind of good thing.

　Unfortunately for the magical girl...

　"Ah! It's solved! It's solved!"

　Yao Chuan Guang shouted, her left arm already gone, letting the blood drip onto the ground, and exchanged a glance with Lan Tian Zhu.

　Because of the strange events that were taking place, she had to come out with Xiao Lan to quickly resolve the situation.

　This weirdo is pretty powerful...

　Well, at least compared to the average strength of Fuuto, it's still quite impressive.

　"..." Lan Tianzhu glanced at Yao Chuanguang's injury, nodded, and said, "Let's go back. Don't keep Cong Yu and Xiao Cui waiting too long."

　In response to Azuma Nagisa's words, Hikaru Yokawa returned home, waving as he did so: "Everyone! The monster has been dealt with! Magical Girl Shining☆-chan! She has once again protected the safety of Fuuto!"

　For Yaochuan

　Upon hearing this, the residents of Fuuto, who had been hiding nearby, cheered, "Great!"

　"Magical Girl Shining☆Chan!"

　“Shining☆Shining☆Blue Sky☆Blue Sky”

　"..." On the way back, Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but complain, "Why did this strange attack have to happen today, and with such a powerful one at that? Don't they celebrate holidays?"

　Upon hearing Yaochuan Guang's words, Lantian Zhu couldn't help but ponder for a moment: "Probably, people who can happily enjoy holidays are unlikely to become weirdos."

　That seems to make a lot of sense.

　"Besides, today's monster is actually very weak... It's because you underestimated it, Hikaru. You always underestimate your opponents when you fight."

　But there's nothing we can do about it...

　Because along the way, Yaochuan Guang hardly encountered any monsters that would put her in a difficult situation... at most, they would blow off half of her body.

　Moreover, when he first met Cong Yu, during their earpiece communication, he also taught Xiao Guang many formulaic playing techniques.

　Once the formula is applied, Yaochuan Guang's tactical thinking basically crushes those weirdos who commit evil deeds at will...

　However, Lan Tianzhu believes that if you apply too many formulas, you will become less intelligent.

　In low to mid-level battles, this can result in a crushing victory. However, if you encounter a high-ranking monster, it might actually have the opposite effect.

　Hmm... I probably still wouldn't be able to beat them even without using the formula.

　As for what Aohara Nagisa said, Yaochuan Guang readily admitted it—

　"I did underestimate them a bit... but this fighting style is very effective. I stretch out my left hand to catch the opponent's explosives, and then gather my right hand to deliver a fatal blow, instantly eliminating the monster."

　Yao Chuan Guang recited the fighting technique that Cong Yu had taught her a long time ago, as if reciting the Bible: "At most, you'll lose an arm, or half your body."

　That's certainly true.

　While it would be terrible if she didn't kill the target in one hit, it's a different story if the magical girl doing this has teammates.

　The strange man's expression before he died was one of shock.

　There is no process of "blocking the attack," but rather a straightforward interaction of "I'm hurt, you die!"

　Yaochuan Guang himself is quite skilled at this style of play.

　Because her technique is very powerful, and she's not particularly good at dodging... that's probably the value of her "dog-injury" technique.

　and……

　"..." Lan Tianzhu glanced at Yao Chuanguang's wound and she could see that... there was already granulation tissue twisting and turning on Yao Chuanguang's arm.

　By the time the two of them get home, Yaochuan Guang's arm might have grown back.

　"Xiao Guang, your recovery ability seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

　Upon hearing Lan Tianzhu's words, Yaochuan Guang glanced at his hand and touched his wound: "Ouch, that hurts..."

　Then she paused... and then touched it again.

　"Hiss...it hurts."

　Yao Chuan Guang, who was speaking in a silly manner, withdrew his mischievous right hand and said with satisfaction, "I didn't realize it myself, but that just means I'm getting stronger, right? Haha!"

　"..." Lan Tianzhu remained skeptical about this.

　It's less about getting stronger... and more like a mutation.

　-

　"Congyu-chan, we're back!"

　Yaochuan Guang shouted and opened the door.

　"You're back."

　Lan Tianzhu casually echoed, his face expressionless.

　"..."

　"Oh, welcome back."

　Cong Yu responded, sitting simply on the sofa in a plain black bathrobe, the wide hem of the robe hanging down casually, swaying gently as he waved his hand.

　The history of Japanese yukata can be traced back to the Heian period, when it was a simple garment worn by nobles while bathing.

　As time went on, the use of yukata gradually expanded, and many people even wore yukatas to sleep.

　During the Edo period, yukatas also moved beyond the realm of bathing and began to exist as "convenient" clothing, with people wearing them to enjoy flowers or participate in events.

　With the booming development of the "cotton manufacturing industry".

　Yukatas have moved beyond the realm of the nobility and become accessible to the general public... Therefore, the yukata industry may need to thank Nigo for his efforts.
