Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Cong Yu: "Friend."

　"Oh--"

　Cong Yu: "Just ordinary friends."

　"oh oh--"

　"..." Damn it!

　Chapter 344 The Whole Things Are Alive! Let's Go, Ignore It!

　"This is Lord Tutankhamun's palace, this is Lord Cleopatra's palace, this is Lord Atum's palace, this is Lord Osiris's palace... Everyone is ready to be resurrected at any time."

　"..." Cong Yu: "???"

　"..." To be honest, I didn't quite understand.

　Cong Yu didn't understand what the priest meant by "everyone is waiting for resurrection." He opened his mouth... but then closed it again.

　Although I'm a little curious, there's no need to ask too many questions.

　However, the priestess seemed very eager to share, saying, "Ra's chambers are at the highest point and are also the largest."

　"Radar is the undisputed Pharaoh, while the other Pharaohs are chosen as her subjects, and during her reign... look at her, learn from her, and kiss the yellow sand beneath her seat."

　"And while the Lord Radam falls into the Golden Sleep, these people will temporarily assume the role of Pharaoh, and the position will naturally rotate like the rising and setting of the sun and moon."

　“In this process, any priest could become the new temporary pharaoh, and after death receive his own palace and enjoy a peaceful rest.”

　Is tranquility a form of sleep that can be revived at any time?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu nodded and followed the priest up the magnificent steps, through the extremely luxuriously decorated corridors, and up the stairs in circles... The room at the highest point of the hall was the room where the Sun King Ra resided.

　During their journey, the two passed several other priests carrying basins of water, who respectfully greeted the female priest beside Cong Yu.

　"Lord Sekhmet."

　"Good morning, Lord Sekhmet."

　The priest, known as Sekhmet, nodded in response to their greetings and then continued to lead the way.

　"..." Cong Yu remained silent, staring at the other person's face for a while, pondering for a moment, before saying, "You said before that the current Pharaoh, um... the acting Pharaoh, is Cleopatra, right?"

　In response to Cong Yu's words, Sekhmet, the "priest," shook his head and said, "To be precise, it was the previous pharaoh. At that time, I was a priest serving Lord Cleopatra."

　This statement can be interpreted in two ways.

　One explanation is, "Because there's a new pharaoh, I'm no longer under Cleopatra's control." The other is...

　"I've made it big now," or something like that.

　"..." Well, any priest could become the new acting pharaoh... I see, so that's how it is.

　This is how they are managing Egypt.

　Having understood this, Cong Yu did not judge her friend's governance methods and choices...

　He himself doesn't mind the other kings pointing fingers at the wind, but he himself wouldn't do that.

　Or……

　There's no need to comment.

　"We've arrived. Lord Ra is right here."

　"Thank you."

　Responding politely to the guide, Cong Yu stepped into the palace: "La, I've arrived?"

　This room, called the bedroom, is not just an ordinary room... it's more like a complete tomb.

　The place where Cong Yu is now is probably the main burial chamber or something like that...

　The interior is lavishly decorated, with exquisite murals and reliefs on the walls, and a huge, flat coffin in the center.

　There were also some plants placed around...

　It looks like it's being taken good care of again.

　"Ding-dong-"

　[La: I heard you coming. Carry me away... The rope that binds me is in the cupboard next to us.]

　In La's message, Cong Yu opened the cupboard, took out a carrying strap, fixed it to La's coffin, and threaded the rope through the pre-drilled holes in the coffin.

　To be honest, it's a pretty strange feeling.

　There's a strange sense of déjà vu that I'm about to "act behind my family's back."

　Then, Cong Yu secured the coffin to his back, opened the passageway of the Jormungandr train, and went inside.

　When I came in, Dente and Teredo seemed to be talking about something.

　Aren't you curious?

　"While there is a bit of a problem, ... Cong Yu is back."

　At Theodore's call, Dente, who had been near the door at the other end of the carriage, immediately withdrew his eagerness and returned to his seat.

　Cong Yu: "???"

　"What are you doing?"

　In response to Cong Yu's question, Theredo calmly sipped her drink and, under Dente's awkward gaze, said, "She's curious about what's on the other side of your carriage... that's about it."

　As Cong Yu placed the coffin next to the seat, he nonchalantly explained, "The other end of the carriage is still a carriage... If you've ever taken the subway, you should understand this."

　"..." That's quite reasonable... my foot.

　"Is there a driver's cab at the very front? Is there a first-class cabin?"

　In response to Dente's curiosity, Cong Yu twitched his lips: "There's no first class cabin, and no driver's cab, but there is a fuel room... similar to the coal-fired boiler room on steam trains."

　In Cong Yu's explanation, Thereto, who had indeed experienced the era of steam trains, couldn't help but exclaim, "Human technology is developing so fast... Modern trains no longer use steam."

　Indeed, and in another hundred years, humanity will develop the world's first "emotional energy conversion device," officially entering the interstellar age.

　A federation will also be formed.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Theredo continued, "Modern trains and airplanes seem to be powered by dark matter."

　"..." Dente: "???"

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Wait, lady, what era did you travel back from? It seems like you traveled to a later era than me!

　Dark matter?!

　Dente was shocked. She looked at Theradora, her eyes filled with confusion: "Isn't it magnetic levitation?"

　In response, Theredo blinked and hesitated before saying, "But, I read in a magazine before that dark matter was expected to be used in the automotive field by 2000... I think it was something like that?"

　Dente: "That's not true, is it?!"

　Hesitantly, Cong Yu asked suspiciously, having found the crux of the problem: "When was this magazine published... a few years ago or decades ago?"

　"..."

　"Um... around the time dark matter was first deduced."

　The case is solved. In the early 20th century, American antivirus magazines liked to publish random information, making wild claims and speculating about the future.

　Amidst Cong Yu's silence, Theredo realized that the information she had received might be false...

　So, the plane she took to Japan wasn't actually a plane carrying dark matter energy?

　What a pity.

　Realizing this, Teredo couldn't help but think that humanity was indeed incompetent... how come they hadn't even made use of dark matter?

　(Human: ...)

　Thinking this, Theredo watched the train slowly start moving, then looked at the coffin that Cong Yu had brought on board, and asked, "Didn't you say you were looking for teammates? Why did you only bring a coffin on board?"

　"..."

　"Oh, she's the teammate I found... Sun King Ra! Come on! Give them a go! Let's go, ignore her!"

　Under Cong Yu's instructions, La immediately cooperated and performed a few acts of self-expression—

　It startled me; I unleashed a burst of sunshine!

　Cong Yu closed her eyes after she finished speaking.

　……

　Terado: "Aaaaaah, my eyes!!!"

　Dente: "Ugh!!!"

　Chapter 345 European Ghostbusters

　Thus, the European Ghostbusters were formed!

　……

　Teradeo – Stand name: [Ore]

　[The Ancient One], whose abilities are precise speed and powerful strength, as well as the ability to lead the way.

　Dente Vermillion – Stand name: “I’ll go and tell everyone at the Vatican.” His abilities are watching plays and reporting to the church.

　Murasame – Stand name [All Tactics Turn to Base Stealing: Cat Rai –], her abilities are summoning vehicles and slacking off.

　La – Stand name "Cangyu, come carry me!", her abilities are wide-range fire and light attacks.

　……

　Bad news (1): Of the four people in the team, two were just watching and slacking off, one was responsible for giving directions, and only one person was actually fighting.

　Bad news (2): The team’s enemies are the thirteen clans of vampires scattered across Europe, including some ancient ones and tens of thousands of other vampires.

　There is so much bad news...

　In the eyes of ordinary armies, or magical girl associations and churches, this bad news (disadvantage) is completely fatal.

　Of course, it's not all bad news for this temporary team; there is some good news...

　For example... well, there's no need to use an example.

　(Vampire: Hahaha, the advantage is mine.)

　Pulling can summon sunlight; it's that simple.

　(Vampire: Hahaha...ha...ha?!!!)

　"..."

　"Ahhhhh!!"

　"Eh!!!"

　In a dimly lit bar, in a place where neither the church nor mortals could find, lay the home of a vampire clan.

　A powerful melody was playing in the vampire bar; it sounded like a very old song.

　Hey, young man—

　Cong Yu smiled, covered her face with her hands, and twisted her waist to strike a peculiar, yet inexplicably gorgeous and difficult pose.

　Perhaps, this is the JOJO pose that belongs to Congyu!

　With a huge coffin on his back and wearing sunglasses, he was surrounded by a blazing sun, illuminating the bar that should have belonged to a horror movie set.

　This vampire underground bar, where the smell of blood should have been dark and damp, was now incredibly sunny and refreshing!

　With "YMCA" playing in the background, the atmosphere became incredibly cheerful, and it wasn't scary at all!

　Beside him were Dente, also wearing sunglasses, and Teredo, who was smiling happily and holding a parasol.

　Wow! It turns out to be three handsome men and beautiful women. Wearing sunglasses, they showed confident smiles and cheerful laughter.

　They are already known to be the best of the best performance artists.

　Of course, when combined with the surrounding circle of screaming, writhing vampires, the scene became even stranger.
