Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It could be pure in a way, but it could also be impure in a way... because it's actually a relationship of mutual exploitation.

　Both sides have something they want to get from the other.

　However, she does seem to be very sincere when it comes to feelings...

　After all, there's no need to make such a clear distinction between Gareth Farshore and [Gareth Farshore, the future head of the Farshore family].

　Just like many things.

　If you try to distinguish between them, you'll only create trouble for yourself.

　"By the way, Congyu-chan... Teacher Hong said that if I want to learn her techniques, I can learn from her. I want to learn from her during the winter break."

　As Yao Chuan Guang said this, he looked at Cong Yu and Xiao Lan and said, "Do you want to come with me to cultivate? And also invite Xiao Cui."

　Cong Yu naturally had no objection to this, and Lan Tianzhu nodded after hesitating for a moment.

　"It's possible, but why the sudden urge to cultivate?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, pondering that if they became even stronger, she would never run out of her "protection uses" in her lifetime...

　Before he uses it, wouldn't he have to stay by Yaochuan Guang's side to protect them?

　This wasn't an excuse he made for himself; it was what he truly thought.

　It's definitely true, absolutely.

　“…” Yaochuan Guang took a deep breath and replied, “Because, I suddenly feel so weak… I have never seen anything outside of Fuuto.”

　"But Teacher Hong said that she was just a cadre."

　As he said this, Hikaru Yokawa looked visibly shaken: "But I feel that Teacher Kurenai's strength is terrifying..."

　"If these are just monster executives, then the monster leader or the monster king must be incredibly terrifying."

　As he spoke these thoughts, Hikaru Yokawa's eyes looked resolute: "I want to protect you, to protect Murasame... so I want power."

　Have you become acutely aware of your own weakness and want to change it?

　but……

　Hong is a cadre because she only thinks about being a cadre; in reality, her abilities are on par with those of Shunni Sanqianliu.

　And among the boss-level bosses, none of them are ordinary.

　Cong Yu clearly understood this, and Lan Tianzhu was also aware of the gap in strength between Hongxiawu Hong and ordinary cadres...

　However, neither of them said anything.

　After all, wanting to become stronger is never a bad thing... Compared to pursuing power, losing something because of a lack of power is more likely to drive people crazy.

　"And, that..."

　Yao Chuanguang opened her mouth, but suddenly hesitated, leaving Cong Yu wondering what she wanted to say... She wouldn't usually be so hesitant and silent.

　Cong Yu, who was thinking this, looked at her, and Lan Tianzhu, who was eating instant noodles next to her, also looked at her, waiting for Xiao Guang to continue.

　After a while, Hikaru Yokawa finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Congyu-chan, you've actually known Ms. Kurenai for a long time, right...?"

　Cong Yu blinked at this.

　Lan Tianzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she ran off with her instant noodle bowl, saying, "I'm going to eat on the second-floor balcony... to get some fresh air."

　As he said this, Little Blue ran off very fast.

　While running, he also covered his ears with his hands to show that he didn't want to hear anything or know anything.

　Yao Chuan Guang looked completely bewildered, wondering what had suddenly happened to Lan Tian Zhu.

　However, Cong Yu didn't seem flustered at all. He held up a finger and placed it in front of Yao Chuan Guang: "Yao Chuan Guang—"

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Huh? What's wrong?"

　As Xiao Guang asked questions, Cong Yu swirled her finger in front of her eyes...swirling and swirling—

　Gradually, Yaochuan Guang's eyes also started to dart around.

　"Uh-huh--"

　Amidst Yaochuan Guang's dazed voice, Cong Yu stopped what she was doing and coaxed, "Is Teacher Hong's technique powerful?"

　Yaochuan Guang's eyes cleared again, and he nodded, replying, "Yeah, very impressive. Congyu-chan, let me tell you, that day at the hotel..."

　"..." The change of topic was successful as expected.

　It feels like we could keep this a secret for a hundred years without any problem.

　Congyu-chan's Great Victory!

　Chapter 267 Rabbit Man, Rabbit Man

　I'm so busy, so incredibly busy.

　I'm incredibly busy...

　The doctor's work schedule and to-do list were so full...it was almost suffocating.

　It feels like there's something to do every hour of every day, as if it's never-ending.

　Of these ten matters, seventy percent were arranged by Cong Yu for himself.

　The doctor was furious!

　I'd like to find an assistant, but after thinking about it, I feel like there aren't many suitable candidates, so I can only...

　"I can only ask you to lend a hand, after all, you have a lot of experience working with me... and you're already used to the operating room."

　Cong Yu hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing with the doctor's statement: "That's not wrong... If being experimented on can be considered cooperation, then it's not impossible."

　It's like an old joke—"Working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, your job is to be researched."

　Cong Yu, however, didn't seem to realize she was an "assistant" at all, and immediately started tapping on the doctor's computer: "You're not just trying to find an excuse to make me come and keep you company, are you? Let me see how busy you are... Oh my god."

　I'm really busy.

　"The Rabbit Man's affair, Munemasa Yoshimi's transformation, the new weirdo's pre-employment physical examination, the debugging of the K virus..."

　As Cong Yu read through the densely packed schedule, she looked at a symbol after the K virus with some confusion.

　It was a circle with a cross inside—⊕

　"What does it mean?"

　In response to Cong Yu's question, the doctor explained while preparing for surgery: "It means maintaining the status quo, which is currently in a cyclical clinical trial."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Cong Yu: "???"

　"To put it simply, while I was doing other things, this matter that needed to be dealt with was also being handled at the same time..."

　"Experiments require waiting time, and I would add a loop symbol to use that time to do other things."

　As the doctor said this, he looked at Cong Yu, whose face was full of shock, and couldn't help but smile... but he quickly suppressed it.

　Because she just wanted to find an excuse to let Cong Yu come and have some fun, so that she wouldn't be bewitched by some magical girl.

　Whether she spends time with me or not is irrelevant; the main concern is avoiding the magical girl.

　-

　The poison of the tarsal bone... This is the poison that the rabbit man was poisoned with.

　It's a poison that clings to the soul but affects the body... The cause of the poisoning was a conflict with a monster from the 21st Group.

　It is not always friendly and harmonious between groups.

　In reality, normal corporations will cooperate with each other, but they will also compete with each other, vying for resources and fighting each other.

　However, this usually happens between the lower levels.

　Among those freaks at the bottom of society who don't even have code names like X-man or X-woman... and the rabbit man's poison was also inflicted during that period.

　Or rather, it was precisely because of his heroic fighting and injuries that he received a formal title despite being a working-class person.

　They also enjoy free surgical benefits.

　After all, he was injured while working for the company.

　In this situation, the group still showed some humanity and wouldn't completely ignore the rabbit man.

　However, he still needs to change bodies every now and then...

　Moreover, it needs to be a body that is incompatible with the soul.

　A relatively convenient method is to use "the opposite sex." This kind of awkwardness, which does not require deliberate creation, can ensure that the body's rejection is not severe, while maintaining the alienation within his soul.

　But interestingly...

　"Your soul is gradually merging with your body."

　As the doctor said this, she rested her chin on her hand and looked at the rabbit-man who was covering his private parts with his hand... Logically speaking, the rabbit-man wouldn't cover himself.

　But for some reason, Lord Congyu is here today.

　Then he politely turned his head away.

　"The shyness you feel now is proof that... you are gradually coming to regard your current body as your own, although in a sense it has always been that way."

　The doctor said this, while the rabbit-man looked somewhat confused: "Does that mean... a woman's body doesn't work either?"

　Do we need to start looking for a third gender besides men and women in order to create a sense of incongruity?

　At that moment, Cong Yu remembered something.

　"By the way, when I went to the Rabbit Man's place with Tamamo and the others before, Tamamo also mentioned that... the Rabbit Man's soul is gradually matching his body."

　The doctor was taken aback by Cong Yu's words...

　Is that true? How come she didn't know?

　In fact, it does exist, as seen in Chapter 145. However, the rabbit man forgot what the other party had said, and the doctor had no idea that such a thing existed.

　"Tamamo... Anyway, she's right."

　After a moment's hesitation, the doctor said this, then patted the rabbit-man's flat, fair abdomen: "Don't worry, this isn't a bad thing."

　As she said this, the doctor pressed a button to flip the rabbit-like creature over, then reached out and stretched its ball-like tail: "The 'bones' of the 'Bone-Treading Poison' have changed, and the venom itself can hardly find a foothold."

　Even in areas with nerve endings like the tail and fingers, there were not many signs of decay.

　"Although it was within my expectations... the feminization of your soul is progressing much faster than I imagined."

　As the doctor spoke, his gaze couldn't help but fall on a hair clip, the one that the rabbit man had taken off and placed on the table beside him.

　The doctor wasn't going to think about the reasons either.

　It's probably Cong Yu's succubus aura taking effect again.

　Damn it, why didn't you use it on me more often? (X)

　The rabbit-man, however, was pleasantly surprised. She blinked and said happily, "So, does that mean I won't need to come back every now and then to change bodies?"

　"..."

　"Yes, including this time. Congratulations on your recovery, but you won't be able to take legitimate paid leave anymore."

　"And if you want, you can change your name to Bunny Girl from now on. After all, you're a woman now, both in body and soul."

　With that assessment, the doctor tossed the bunny girl outfit to her, then tapped the screen a few times...

　The walls around the operating room opened rapidly, and then rows of bright, lifeless rabbit-man bodies slid into the room along the slide rails.

　They were all lying in the petri dish, like rabbits being roasted.

　Then, the doctor looked at Cong Yu, who was clapping and congratulating the rabbit man, and said, "The rabbit man's spare body is no longer needed, so I'll give it to you."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Rabbit Man: "???"

　Under the rabbit-man's gaze, whose face was flushed red, Cong Yu pointed to herself in confusion: "Give it to me? What would I do with it?"

　The doctor waved his hand impatiently and said irritably, "Do whatever you want with it. Throw it away, sell it, eat it, use it at night... just don't leave it here taking up space."

　Cong Yu: Tonight... for tonight?

　Rabbit Man: Eat...eat?
