Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　In other words, although Rabbit Man is considered a lowly soldier, he can actually be regarded as a squad leader in the monster group.

　"Bouncing and hopping—"

　Cong Yu shifted her gaze from the adorable bunny boy, and then heard him ask, "So, how have you been lately, Cong Yu-sama?"

　As he asked this, he looked at Cong Yu with curiosity.

　Cong Yu didn't hide anything from this; "I'm doing pretty well, I'm studying peacefully... probably."

　Rabbit Boy: "Going to school—"

　You could clearly hear the emotion in his voice, because... in fact, he had never been to school.

　However, it's impossible for him to leave the group to go to school.

　Even if it's just temporarily leaving the group, you still need to do something called "Disengagement Mission"... which is basically a mission with no chance of survival.

　Cong Yu's temporary departure came at no cost.

　Or rather, it's unclear why headquarters didn't issue a similar task or express any opinion on it.

　Ultimately, Cong Yu's "power" is not on the same level as those of ordinary weirdos.

　As the rabbit man was pondering this, a commotion came from afar...

　"What are you doing? No... I still have money! I've already made a fortune! I... I... I... I!!"

　"I'm about to win back my losses! Damn it..."

　"Help! I can't afford to lose at the casino!!"

　“…” A weak shout from a middle-aged man came from not far away.

　Next, what came into the view of Cong Yu and Rabbit Man was a middle-aged man in a suit being dragged along by several strange people like a dead dog.

　Such a farce was merely a minor episode in this already noisy casino.

　Few people turned their gaze in his direction... and even if they did, it was only a fleeting glance before they looked away again.

　People like this are all too familiar to us.

　However, some people noticed Cong Yu, or rather, they noticed the boy sitting next to the hot bunny girl receptionist.

　Those people curiously speculated about Cong Yu's identity, and then immediately turned their heads away. Others who kept staring were quickly stopped by their companions.

　"Are you out of your mind? Get your thoughts back on track."

　"That guy isn't from our world."

　"..."

　"..." After some time, Cong Yu saw someone come downstairs and report the news to Rabbit Man, which confirmed his earlier guess.

　The person who was just dragged upstairs was indeed Yasuharu Nagashima.

　"Reporting to you, sir, Yasuharu Nagashima has been dealt with. We used some methods, and his death was definitely not easy."

　"However, he passed out when he had just broken his seventh or eighth finger. We couldn't wake him up, so we just killed him and threw his body into the corrosive liquid. We disposed of it very cleanly."

　The rabbit-man didn't speak to the person who gave the report. Instead, he cautiously looked at Cong Yu sitting beside him and asked, "Lord Cong Yu?"

　They were probably worried that Cong Yu would become dissatisfied, since even if they meant well, their tormenting behavior was still an unforeseen complication.

　However, Cong Yu naturally didn't care.

　"Actually, we're not enemies."

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Rabbit Man's heart skipped a beat.

　Fortunately, there's more to Cong Yu than meets the eye—

　"But as long as he's dead, it doesn't matter how he died..."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she looked at the rabbit-like man patting his chest with relief and smiled, saying, "Anyway, thank you."

　After saying that, he looked at the sky and figured that Yaochuan Guang should be finishing his club activities soon... Time to go home for dinner!

　For some reason, despite being on her way to find that annoying magical girl, Cong Yu was in an unexpectedly good mood.

　It might be because Yasuharu Nagashima died.

　It's also possible that after briefly returning to the "dark side," one can then appreciate how harmonious the "light side" truly is.

　In short, Cong Yu was in a pretty relaxed mood.

　"Rabbit boy?"

　"Ah...yes, Lady Congyu, I'm listening."

　"Next month is your birthday, right? Besides birthday wishes, what kind of gift would you like? You can tell me in advance."

　Seeing Cong Yu smiling like that, the rabbit-man hesitated, unsure how to respond—he wasn't sure what Cong Yu-sama wanted him to say.

　Do you want him to specify the exact gift?

　Or should he say something like, "There's no need to trouble Lord Congyu"?

　The Rabbit Man knew very well that his fate had taken a turn at this moment, or rather, faced a life-or-death situation.

　If I were to say what I want, Cong Yu might find it troublesome.

　It's also possible that when Cong Yu says she doesn't actually want anything, she feels like she's not being straightforward enough.

　It's a dilemma... This is probably the tragedy of being a wage earner.

　"Can't think of anything? Then I'll just take the liberty of giving you a small gift. I hope you'll like it."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she reached out and patted the rabbit-man's head, then waved goodbye:

　Well then, goodbye.

　As he said this, Cong Yu, who had just left the casino, rammed straight into the wall.

　But just before the collision, a huge, phantom snake head with its gaping maw suddenly appeared on the wall of the alley.

　As Cong Yu stepped inside, his figure was blocked as the snake's head closed, and then the illusory snake head disappeared.

　"..." The rabbit man stared blankly at his head, only breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that Cong Yu, this great god, had finally left.

　Meanwhile, the subordinate of the strange man in the suit standing beside him stared at the spot where Cong Yu had disappeared, his eyes shining: "Lord Cong Yu... I've heard so many rumors about Lord Cong Yu, I never imagined he was so handsome in person! And so gentle! Lord Cong Yu, I love you!"

　"..." To be honest, the rabbit man really wanted to ask his subordinate where he got the feeling that Cong Yu was very gentle.

　But thinking about it carefully, Cong Yu actually seemed quite gentle.

　"Mmm...ma...ah..."

　Unable to refute, the rabbit-man made a strange sound.

　Chapter Forty-Seven: Mom and Mama

　"I am back!"

　"..."

　"Welcome back--"

　Yao Chuan Guang, who subconsciously responded to Cong Yu's voice, was stunned for a moment. Wearing an apron, she poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Cong Yu, who was changing her shoes.

　Cong Yu noticed this as well and cast a questioning look at her.

　Yaochuan Guang quickly shrank back.

　"..." Strange, it feels like this is the first time Cong Yu has said something like this.

　Before, he wouldn't even say something like "I'm starting to eat," but now he's taking the initiative to greet me.

　Have you already started to consider me and Xiaolan as family?

　Thinking this way, Yaochuan Guang was in a good mood, so he hummed softly as he prepared dinner: "Hmph-hmph-hmph—"

　Perhaps it was because there was soup simmering in the pot. So, she wanted to make sure she could hear herself humming softly...

　Therefore, a "humming" sound is not considered soft.

　At least Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu heard it.

　Cong Yu, looking puzzled, glanced towards the kitchen before asking Lan Tianzhu, "Why is she humming?"

　Lan Tianzhu, who also didn't quite understand Yaochuan's optical brain circuitry, could only shake his head while eating a lollipop.

　Before Cong Yu returned home, Yao Chuan Guangdu seemed quite normal.

　After returning home, Xiao Guang's mood immediately improved.

　Lan Tianzhu thought to himself, glancing thoughtfully toward the kitchen and then at Cong Yu.

　Detective Azuma Nagisa already had some guesses about the truth.

　"As expected, you can't just assume what an idiot is thinking."

　As she said this, Cong Yu nudged Lan Tianzhu's foot on the coffee table, signaling her to move aside, and then turned on her laptop.

　Then, Cong Yu immediately noticed the new email in her inbox.

　[126XXXXXX31 (Tenju Entertainment Co., Ltd.): Is CY-sensei busy? I'd like to request a character illustration for *Magical Girl Duel*.]

　Cong Yu had some impression of this mobile game.

　The requirements are minimal and the pay is generous; the most basic requirement is simply to create a character illustration of the magical girl in the provided photo.

　Moreover, the magical girl drawn by Congyu at that time was none other than Hikaru Yokawa.

　It's just a coincidence.

　This time, it will probably be Nagisa Azuma, since if they are in the same team, the art style needs to be consistent.

　Otherwise, it would look completely out of place on the game page.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu clicked to look at the email details, and as he expected... it was indeed a character illustration of Lan Tianzhu.

　Or rather, it's the character illustration for 【Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Jiang】.

　The attachment also included a photo of Nagisa Azumi in combat gear.

　"..." This feeling is actually quite strange... because Nagisa Azuma herself is right next to me, and I have a manuscript to draw her.

　Noticing Cong Yu's gaze, Lan Tianzhu glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Cong Yu's desktop... where there was a full-body photo of her.

　A photo of Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Jiang dressed in a magical girl outfit.

　After glancing at the contents of the email, Lan Tianzhu roughly understood the situation, but didn't say anything and just continued eating the candy.

　Cong Yu gave an unequivocal affirmative response to the official mobile game developer, and after discussing the price, accepted the order.

　Then, Cong Yu's eyes narrowed, and he instantly got into the zone, pulling out his phone and showcasing his amazing ability—the ability to slack off.

　Cong Yu: It's not too late to draw it after the money arrives.

　Party A: Staring—

　"..." Yaochuan Guang hummed softly as he carried out a bowl of soup. He glanced at the lazy Cong Yu, then at Lan Tianzhu: "Dinner's ready. Lan doesn't want any more candy."

　Lan Tianzhu always listened to her, and quickly chewed up and ate the candy in his mouth.

　However, I always felt that what Yaochuan Guang said sounded surprisingly like what a mother would say when she is telling her child not to eat snacks.

　Um, maybe it's just my imagination.

　I doubt anyone would mistake a high school girl for their mother... right?

　Cong Yu wasn't quite sure.

　"Today we're having salmon, miso soup, and mapo tofu... Xiao Lan said she wanted something sweet, so I..."

　I bought dumplings on my way home from school.

　As Yaochuan Guang hung his apron on the wall, he said, then pointed towards the bathroom: "Go wash your hands before you eat."

　"..." Oh no, I can't hold back anymore, these words are just too classic...

　But hold on, Cong Yu, and maintain your persona.

　If you shout "Mom, Mom" ​​here, your life is over. So... try to cover it up with a loud voice!

　No way, it wouldn't make any strange noises.

　Cong Yu complained inwardly, and with a strange expression, he obediently washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.
