Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　So, it seems the fake death potion works quite well.

　"This is the effect I want to achieve, and if possible, the effect can be even better... but there is no guarantee of a successful awakening."

　The doctor spoke, typing rapidly on his computer to record data: "This is a hurdle we need to overcome. I can guarantee the 'death' of the 'fake death drug,' but I can't guarantee achieving a 'fake' zero."

　I can't guarantee it's "fake," but I can guarantee it's "dead"...

　"Isn't that real death!?"

　The doctor nodded gently at the astonished Red: "Not bad, you understand very quickly... If I had made a mistake in the direction of the awakening mechanism, you would have really died."

　red:"……"

　Seeing the red figure staring intently at him, the doctor coughed lightly and said, "Would you like a cup of coffee to sober up... Don't look at me like that."

　"If you don't die convincingly enough, you can't even fool everyone else, let alone fate."

　That makes a lot of sense.

　Thinking this, Hong nodded in agreement to the suggestion of "a cup of coffee," and said, "So, did we successfully fool fate this time?"

　"..." In response to Hong's words, the doctor casually picked up a coffee cup and pondered for a moment that it seemed to be the cup Cong Yu used.

　After hesitating for a moment, the doctor switched to the measuring cup that Nagashima Koki uses for drinking coffee, saying, "I'm not sure if the 'apparent death 2.0' was successful, because you can't observe the 'phenomena' now."

　Yes, Moirai cured Red's "symptoms," and at any moment he might remove the "symptoms" that are "treating the symptoms but not the root cause," and then turn around and stab Red in the back.

　Although it was relatively convenient for Hong to take action during this period.

　However, it's also unclear whether the fake death 2.0 has successfully cured the root cause of the redness, so it's best to be more careful.

　"I already have an idea for 'Feign Death 3.0'. Could you help me find a few test subjects so I can test the effects of 'Feign Death 3.0'?"

　The doctor said this to Hong, then paused under her sidelong glance: "Forget it, I'll think of a solution myself... You don't need to help me find people to test the drugs."

　In the past, doctors would randomly grab people from all over the street to test drugs, ensuring a sufficient number of clinical trials. However, they later changed their ways somewhat.

　Before Hong and Daying arrived, the other cadres of the 22nd Group were all aligned with Cong Yu's ideology...

　Uh, hiss...

　We lost, yes.

　They lost.

　From then on, the doctor stopped doing anything outrageous and stopped experimenting with overly dangerous drugs.

　Because doctors don't want to end up "defeated".

　"Sigh, I have a good assistant and good colleagues now, and I feel pretty fulfilled, but if only..."

　As the doctor said this, he stretched out with a cute little yawn and sighed, "I still really want a test subject that can't die!"

　Brigitte (the mermaid monster) has a strong regenerative ability and can cure most diseases on her own, but not the kind that doctors want.

　The mermaid monster is immune to abnormal states.

　The BOSS is capable of resurrection.

　The doctor actually wanted one that could lock in blood flow...

　It's the kind of person who thinks, "How can a battle-hardened body fall?!" But I guess such a person doesn't exist in the world.

　The doctor thought with some regret.

　Chapter 421 Pickled Cucumber Pizza

　The Demon King was not born.

　The Saint King's extermination spell was not activated.

　The Immortal King did not fall.

　The grassland king did not adopt the demon wolf.

　The bloody calamity has not ended.

　The tomb of the gods was not excavated.

　The Beast Plague has not been activated.

　Magical Girl Alliance 2 was not released...

　"..." Magical Girl Alliance 2 wasn't released?!

　Cong Yu, with a lamb skewer in her mouth, looked at the list on her phone, sorted by importance and urgency... She had only shown the first ten items on the list.

　What's shocking is that the eighth important point, "the deviation of fate," actually includes someone with a rather odd style.

　Oh, fate! You're actually a comic book fan?!

　Did Magical Girl Raijin☆chan and Magical Girl Steel☆chan visit her when she was terminally ill and lying on her deathbed?

　Or is this really a major event that could influence the future?

　Thinking this way, Cong Yu began to feel increasingly sorry for Mexico...

　So why don't Moira's followers invest in making a movie to change their fate, instead of insisting on bombing Mexico?

　Surely it's not that they don't have money?

　Cong Yu pondered this for a long time, resting her chin on her hand, and suddenly realized... it wasn't that she didn't have money, but that she was stingy.

　It's not about being stingy with money, but about being stingy with every possible chance of fate.

　even

　Even the slightest chance of survival for their own believers and relatives must be compensated for...

　Thinking about this, Cong Yu felt relieved.

　Cong Yu, resting her chin on her hand, glanced at Xiao Cui eating in front of her, as well as Teredo, who was treating everyone to dinner, and Dente, who was freeloading.

　Right now, everyone is in Bulgaria.

　The country located below Romania was also affected by the previous bloody disaster, with its outer regions being ravaged... although not completely.

　At this moment, the restaurant where Cong Yu and the others were located in a tourist city on the Bulgarian coast was naturally not affected by the vampires too much.

　Xiao Cui used her knife and fork to cut the meat patty on the plate, rolled the patty—made of minced meat, onions, and spices—in mashed potatoes, and then happily stuffed it into her mouth: "So delicious—"

　It's delicious, so eat more!

　Cong Yu smiled as she watched Xiao Cui put a piece of bread dipped in cheese sauce into her mouth, while Dente fiddled with a pizza on the side.

　"..." Dente's face was filled with struggle, bitterness, and shock. As a pure Neapolitan magical girl, she didn't know what to say.

　Dente, who seemed about to say something, watched Theodore nonchalantly stuff the pizza into her mouth. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then gave up.

　Theradore noticed this, glanced at the pizza in her hand, and then remembered something: "By the way, you Sardinians are quite obsessed with pizza, aren't you?"

　As she said this, Theredo examined it for a moment and said, "But this isn't a pineapple pizza, so why do you still have that expression?"

　Dente was the first to correct Theodore: "It's Italian... pineapple pizza, hahaha!"

　Xiao Cui, however, seemed a little confused, eating the famous Bulgarian rose sugar pudding: "What's wrong, Sister Dente? What's wrong with the pineapple pizza?"

　In response to Xiao Cui's question, Cong Yu simply explained, "Italians don't eat sweet pizza, absolutely not... absolutely, absolutely not."

　It has even reached the point of hunting down heretics.

　So whether it's pineapple pizza, other fruit pizza, or even durian pizza, they're all the same... Anger and the need to eradicate evil completely!

　However, other innovations that retain the savory flavor are fine; you can omit the classic Italian sausage, tuna, mushrooms, and green peppers.

　You can add bacon, shrimp, or scallops, it doesn't matter.

　As long as it's not sweet.

　But looking at the pizza, Cong Yu felt that it definitely wasn't a fruit pizza... it looked more like a sausage pizza. Was there a problem?

　Isn't this authentic?

　"This is definitely not a pineapple pizza."

　As she said this, Dente was furious. But in her anger, she burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Hahaha!"

　Being so angry that you laughed is an example of that.

　Then, Dente raised his voice, attracting the attention of nearby diners: "Pickled cucumber and sausage pizza? Is this even humanly possible...?"

　As she shouted, Dente noticed her voice was a bit too loud. So she lowered her voice, still seething with anger towards the pickles: "Is that appropriate?"

　“…” Cong Yu, who had been smiling, stiffened for a moment.

　Pickled cucumber pizza? Is this a fake version of Zun Du?

　Somewhat skeptical, Cong Yu took a slice of pizza and stuffed it into her mouth, then was shocked by the strong taste of pickled cucumbers... It really was real!!!

　It's worth mentioning that, just as Cong Yu dislikes matcha, he also hates pickled cucumbers. He doesn't understand why there are such unpalatable things in the world.

　The "pickled cucumbers" here may be different from what most people imagine.

　Some people will find this stuff smelly, just like some people find cilantro has a peculiar taste.

　The pungent and sour pickled cucumbers, with an acidity comparable to unripe sour oranges, stand out in any food, making the sausage taste completely different.

　Why does such an unpalatable food as pickled cucumbers exist in this world?

　These common ingredients found in burgers and sandwiches are the source of their unique flavor, but compared to that unique flavor...

　Actually, pickled cucumbers were originally intended as a food reserve, with storage considerations taking precedence over taste considerations.

　Its texture is completely incomparable to the crispness of pickled mustard tuber, pickled radish, and pickled cucumber; in fact, it can be said to be the opposite.

　Soft and lifeless.

　In an instant, Cong Yu recalled the days she spent adrift at sea.

　In that dark and hopeless life...

　Infested hard biscuits, salted fish so salty it was dehydrated, cured meat, taro and citrus juice, bittersweet rum—these filled Cong Yu's every meal.

　Of course, there are also pickled cucumbers, which are also used to supplement vitamins.

　The nightmare had taken hold, making Cong Yu and Dente feel an unbreakable bond, and they avoided the pizza altogether, even wanting to criticize it harshly!

　Who invented this dish? You've already committed suicide!

　(The restaurant's head chef: trembling with fear.)

　Little Green blinked, exchanged a glance with Theredo, and munched on her pizza, saying, "I think it's pretty delicious—"

　Teredo shares this view.

　Then, Little Green looked at her, seeking Theredo's opinion: "You think it's delicious too, right, Aunt Theredo?"

　Terady nodded in response to what Little Green said.

　"Auntie?"

　Teradeo was shocked, watching with a happy expression.

　Xiao Cui, who had started eating, opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

　Theodore Toredo looked at herself in the restaurant's glass.

　With blonde hair, blue eyes, a tall figure, and a beautiful face... she looks like a stunning woman in her early twenties, almost like a popular celebrity.

　Why is it "Auntie"? Why is it "Auntie"?!

　Kids these days really don't know how to talk!

　Chapter 422 A Happy School Life... or so?

　Teacher: "Gibberish gibberish—"

　Students: "Hahoo-zZZ——"

　Teacher: "Gibberish gibberish—"

　Students: "Hahoo-zZZ——"

　"..." The course schedule has been very tight lately, and the teachers need to keep up with the pace of teaching... so the students are all quite tired.

　People who want to study seriously may find it difficult to keep up and therefore feel tired. Even those who are not particularly interested in studying will feel tired.

　Although we don't know what they're tired of, they are definitely tired.
