Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　With this in mind, Lan Tianzhu looked at her phone.

　[Cong Yu: Are you there?]

　[Cong Yu: http://PxxCxx.JxxM.NH]

　[Cong Yu: I originally wanted to send you the finished product directly, but after thinking about it... I think it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish, right?]

　"..."Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime?

　Lan Tianzhu hesitated before copying the URL, downloading the pink app and opening it. What greeted her eyes was a large R18 warning.

　"!!!"

　"..." One lie requires more lies to cover it up... She realized this too late.

　Lan Tianzhu no longer had the chance to explain; the only thing he could do was accept his "hobby."

　Therefore, the only response she could give was—

　[Blue Sky Nagisa: Thank you.]

　After a while, the word "(read)" appeared at the end of the message, which proved that Cong Yu had seen it.

　Lan Tianzhu was somewhat moved. She lay down quietly, her eyes sparkling like sapphires in the darkness.

　I don't know what she is thinking.

　[Cong Yu: Well, there's no need to avoid this topic too much.]

　[Cong Yu: However, you should be careful to exercise restraint. You should know this yourself. That's all... I'm going to sleep.]

　……

　Lantian Zhu: Who would understand this?!

　-

　"Hey...the area is cordoned off."

　A boy's voice came through, sounding somewhat trembling: "Is it really okay for us to just come in like this?"

　As his voice rang out, several student-looking figures appeared outside the sports warehouse, which had been burned and was in ruins.

　His response came from a carefree girl: "It's okay, don't worry... as long as we don't get caught."

　"..." That's what they say, but if they get caught, they might get a public reprimand and be ordered to disband the club...

　As the boy thought this, he timidly looked around with his flashlight in hand, only to be met with snickers from two girls.

　"Maeda, you're such a nobody—Maeda Nakaji, nobody—nobody—"

　"Our 'Exploration Club's' welcome ceremony this year can't be too bad. Have you forgotten how our predecessors pranked us?"

　When asked about his two companions, the male student named Maeda Nakaji recalled when he joined the club.

　The next day, the senior members of the club said that they should have a "test of courage" and chose the old biology lab, which has since been demolished.

　The night before, the seniors had set up a ton of pranks and traps, which terrified all the freshmen, including myself.

　The whole thing was secretly recorded, and it became a laughing stock within the club.

　"Yeah... indeed."

　As the male student spoke, he looked at the various props that the two girls had brought out—they were very comprehensive, and many of them even looked familiar.

　The deliberately aged Buddha statue, the miniature broadcasting equipment that recorded the sound of crying, the remote-controlled blood pack... these are things that I have suffered for.

　Seeing the two girls' excited expressions, the male student wasn't very enthusiastic.

　Having endured similar suffering myself, I now intend to inflict the same suffering on new students.

　Is it some kind of "kicking the cat" effect?

　"Hurry up, let's go in and set up the traps."

　One girl walked ahead, followed closely by another, while the male student naturally took on the responsibility of bringing up the rear.

　Fengdu

　The abandoned sports warehouses in universities occupy a considerable area.

　From the outside, it looks completely burned and dilapidated, but once you go inside, you realize... it's even worse than you imagined.

　From the outside, you can still recognize the color of the walls and roof, but from the inside, it's completely charred black.

　It's a very, very pure black.

　The entire old sports warehouse was completely burned down, revealing darkness itself, so dark that you couldn't even see where the corners were.

　"Can I put a toy here?"

　"Oh, that seems like a good idea... Hehe, it'll give the new students a real scare!"

　"..." As the two girls chatted happily, the male student showed no interest in joining them and instead looked around.

　For some reason, he felt uneasy after entering this place.

　It wasn't just the burnt smell that filled my nostrils, nor was it just the psychological pressure caused by sneaking in.

　But...

　It might be an illusion, but he really felt as if something was watching them from the shadows, bringing with it a scorching heat.

　It was as if it were some more intense and violent flame.

　"..."

　"..." At some point, all three of them fell silent.

　"Hey! Maeda."

　Suddenly, a girl spoke up.

　"Whoa!"

　"what!"

　Both Maeda and the other girl were startled and exclaimed in surprise, after which they both felt somewhat embarrassed.

　"Cough-cough-"

　Maeda Nakaji coughed twice to ease the awkwardness: "W-what are you doing? You suddenly yelled, you startled me."

　In fact, the voice wasn't loud.

　However, the girl was no longer concerned about that; cold sweat dripped from her forehead: "By the way, was the sports storage room really this big?"

　It seems, perhaps, maybe... maybe not?

　"Should we turn back?"

　Maeda swallowed hard, a sense of unease creeping over him: "I've always felt like something's watching us."

　His words immediately made the two girls, who were already somewhat flustered, even more panicked.

　but……

　"We came here with high hopes to install the props. If we go back like this, won't everyone laugh at us the next day?"

　A girl said, sounding somewhat unwilling.

　Both Maeda and the other girl had to admit that her point of view... yes, would be ridiculed.

　In that case, it will be the new members themselves who will be ridiculed for a long time instead of this year's new members.

　For those individuals, that future was truly bleak.

　So, after discussion, the group decided to continue moving into the warehouse... at least to finish setting up the intimidating traps.

　It's possible that the strange man's magic caused some kind of effect.

　They could only console themselves with this belief, because they wanted to believe that ghosts did not exist in this world.

　But as the group moved into the warehouse, the increasingly oppressive atmosphere made everyone even more tense.

　"call……"

　"Inhale-exhale..."

　"..." Amidst their heavy breathing, the group seemed to sense a sense of unease, as well as the feeling of being "watched" that Maeda had mentioned earlier.

　The group of people stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

　But what followed was...

　"pat-"

　There seemed to be the sound of high heels clicking on the ground.

　However, there is no doubt that even if Fuuto High School does not have a rule against wearing high heels, very few girls would wear them to school... because they have to attend physical education classes.

　The three people looked at each other and held their breath. Even so, faint breathing sounds could still be heard.

　"Inhale-exhale—"

　As the fourth person breathed, a girl felt a breath being blown on her neck... At that moment, her hair stood on end.

　"There's a ghost!!!! Aaaaaah!!!"

　A piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the night, followed by the girl rushing out of the door, and two other people following closely behind.

　"Wait for me too!"

　"Ahhh, there really are ghosts!!"

　……

　Even after the group had left, the sports storage room door, which had been thoroughly robbed, continued to shake and creak loudly.

　Then, very abruptly...

　Where there was nothing before, crimson magic gradually appeared in the air, then dissipated like a spiral.

　The figure that was revealed was a tall woman dressed as a doctor.

　"Finally chased away. These high school students these days are really bold..."

　With these thoughts in mind, Red Walk walked into the abandoned sports warehouse... She didn't sense any lingering traces of the freak's magic.

　What to say?

　Even the "feeling of magic" itself becomes difficult to detect due to the massive explosion and intense burning.

　Not to mention magic itself.

　"Um...this is?"

　However, Hong, who was talking to herself, still noticed something. She reached out and brushed away the dust on the ground, picking up a hair clip that had been burned black.

　Although it burned in the flames for a long time, because from the beginning...

　It was buried in ashes from the beginning, so its face wasn't burned beyond recognition.

　At least you can still tell it's a hair clip.

　And because of this...

　"The aura of a strange person... but overall it's still predominantly human."

　As she analyzed the situation, Hong casually tossed the hair clip in her hand into the air and then caught it again: "A human who hangs out with weirdos?"

　In response, the former magical girl who joined the monster organization, Nijishita Kurenai, declared righteously, "She's actually a traitor to humanity!"

　Chapter Thirty-Four is actually about a good student.

　"yawn--"

　Cong Yu yawned, tossed her bag behind her seat, and then lazily started playing on her phone.

　Of course, he also didn't forget to place a box wrapped in a blue-green cloth next to his table.

　As for what that is?

　"A bento box?"

　Minato Namikaze, sitting next to him, was somewhat surprised. He had no recollection of Murami being someone who would bring her own homemade bento.

　Cong Yu glanced at Minato Namikaze calmly, then nodded, indicating that it was indeed a bento box.
