Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　The style of the Japanese-style city is quite out of place.

　While Fengdu is certainly not a small city, it's quite exaggerated in terms of its bustling atmosphere.

　It can probably be used...

　The phrase "indulging in sensual pleasures" would be used to describe this place.

　"Ah... what is that?"

　"It looks like there's some kind of event going on over there..." Takemikazuchi said, perched on the Yuki-onna's left shoulder, squinting as he looked into the distance.

　Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Takemikazuchi looked at the brightly lit street and the colorfully dressed human women there.

　Not knowing much about this kind of thing, Takemikazuchi looked innocently at Murasame and Yuki-onna, and then glanced at the captain of the Purifier Squad and the sculptor who was holding "Kenbu-tsu 888".

　Is this a blind date?

　"Is this a blind date?" Takemikazuchi asked...

　"..."

　"No."

　"haha, yes……"

　"Masterpiece" answered honestly, then exchanged a glance with Cong Yu, who had answered "yes"... The two remained silent.

　Then, Congyu pondered that Kenjiro wasn't a child and was actually capable of knowing about these things.

　So they changed their tune—

　"Indeed not."

　"That's a blind date."

　Then, she exchanged a glance with the snow woman who had also said, "That's a blind date," and then they both fell silent.

　So is it or isn't it?

　Takemikazuchi was confused by these people, and his question was not easy to answer... or rather, it would be rather complicated and awkward to answer.

　Especially with Cong Yu, a "proper" man, in this group, it becomes even more complicated to explain.

　So, in the end, it was the team leader who gave the answer: "It was a short-term blind date, lasting only about one night..."

　"Because neither of them is interested in the other, during the blind date process, the man will give the woman a small meeting fee, and the woman will also give some compensation."

　"..." Indeed, that's one way to explain it.

　Cong Yu acknowledged the educational level of the squad leader of the Purge team.

　"Oh, there are such strange blind dates..."

　Kenji couldn't help but say this, then after thinking about it for a moment, he realized something was wrong: "Isn't this just buying sex?!"

　Suddenly realizing this, Takemikazuchi was speechless. He rolled his eyes and looked at everyone who was stunned, wagging his tail back and forth.

　“I’m not really a child… When I was a homeless person, I saw just as much as you did, I just hadn’t seen this style before.”

　As Takemikazuchi said this, he muttered to himself as he turned to look, "I thought it was still sold in izakayas..."

　"Who knew people would dress so scantily on the street like this, without any restraint... I thought it was some kind of cosplay."

　As Takemikazuchi began to speak, Murasame immediately burst out laughing—

　"Pfft-"

　Unable to hold back, Cong Yu suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha... I'm laughing, hahaha, no wonder it's cosplay."

　Miss Masterpiece, Snow Woman, and Takemikazuchi all tilted their heads at the same time.

　The movements were almost synchronized...

　The innocent children failed to notice that Takemikazuchi's words contained an interesting satire of the changing times.

　Takemikazuchi himself was completely unaware of his own limitations.

　However, the captain understood, and she couldn't help but smile, but she didn't talk about cosplay... because she felt it wasn't that serious yet.

　Although the atmosphere of comic conventions has become increasingly off as they have been held more and more, it's not to the point of being described as a sales event... well, that's all.

　"Perhaps it's because of the intense competition... times have changed."

　The captain said this, and Cong Yu added, "And times will only get more and more different... Please witness it—"

　Captain: "We should also follow the trend."

　Cong Yu: "That's true."

　Captain: "Speaking of which, the prosperity of Central City before was in Beidu... It really took quite a while to restore it to its former glory."

　Cong Yu: "Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of the culprit?"

　Captain: "Ah, that's true."

　"..." The two walked towards the city hall while talking, discussing the state of the Japanese brokerage industry during the collapse of the bubble economy.

　They seemed to be getting along very well.

　Both the Yuki-onna holding Takemikazuchi and the "masterpiece" holding "Kenfutsu 888" were forgotten by the two of them.

　Snow Woman: "..."

　masterpiece:"……"

　In the ensuing silence, the two people following behind them exchanged a glance.

　Snow Woman: My Murasame...

　Masterpiece: My Commander-in-Chief...

　"..." I tested it, and there's a cow!

　Thinking this, the Yuki-onna, who didn't seem like a "masterpiece" at all, immediately followed Murasame.

　While the two were having a dizzying discussion about whether the main reason for the bursting of the bubble was the government's domestic demand-stimulating policies or the rapid appreciation of the currency, Yuki-onna chose to interject.

　"We're almost there... Cong Yu, have you figured out how to communicate with the mayor of Central City and persuade him to abandon his plans to revive the city's economy?"

　Cong Yu shrugged indifferently at Yuki Onna's words, saying, "I've thought about it... I don't need to worry about this."

　As she said this, Cong Yu looked at the Central City Hall not far away: "That's something the mayor needs to consider... I just need to tell him that I know what you want to do and that I oppose your idea."

　"It's enough to make this point clear. Whether he backs down when the time comes is his business... because I've already made my thoughts clear."

　In other words, Cong Yu doesn't need to think about things like "What if the economy collapses?"

　They can simply offer their opinions; Mayor Sang will come up with the solutions.

　What? He can't figure it out and is planning to continue secretly working on the "Crazy Man, Come Back" plan... then we'll just have to change the mayor.

　That makes perfect sense!

　Perhaps this is just the capriciousness of the Monster King.

　"Domo, how are you going to meet the mayor later, and how are you going to introduce us... Domo, we are the Monster King Desu, is that alright?"

　As Kenmura asked this, Congyu opened her mouth, then patted Kenmura on the shoulder: "Don't learn these things from Xiaocui in the future... You'd better forget them as soon as possible."

　Xiao Cui has a huge influence.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu looked at the city hall and the many magical girls from the Magical Girl Association: "We don't need to ask them to... I asked the Magical Girl Association to discuss this matter."

　By now, the mayor should already know the situation and be feeling overwhelmed, right?

　Cong Yu thought to herself.

　……

　Then...

　Cong Yu suddenly smelled a sulfurous odor, and he looked in the direction of the smell towards the Central City Hall.

　No...could it be...?

　"..."

　"boom!!!!!!"

　A terrifying explosion and blazing flames instantly filled everyone's vision... The city hall was blown up, and many magical girls were thrown overboard by the shockwave.

　Everyone was shocked.

　While everyone stared in disbelief, the "masterpiece" calmly stated the blunt truth: "It seems the mayor no longer needs to worry about the economic recovery of Central City..."

　Yes, because he's probably already been killed in the explosion.

　Chapter 501 Ayamizumi

　The situation is very complicated now.

　What to say?

　The fire department is putting out the fire, and the magical girls are rescuing people and fighting the fire... But what everyone sees in front of them is the entire city hall that has exploded.

　In the instant the flames erupted, all that remained were fragments scattered across the ground.

　Your Excellency Mayor?

　Ha, they're in heaven now!

　We don't even know where the body is...

　Moreover, it wasn't just the mayor of Central City who was killed; many other people who worked in the city hall also perished in the explosion.

　Fortunately, the magical girls from the Magical Girl Association were already on site and could directly carry out disaster relief work.

　However, this put Cong Yu and his group in a rather awkward position.

　The people who were supposed to meet were probably killed in the bombing, and the entire plan was disrupted... It's unlikely they'll be able to help with disaster relief either.

　It's not a matter of whether or not you can lower your pride...

　After all, the people present were all the kind of people who didn't have much of a presence.

　All I can say is that it's best to leave professional matters to professionals... If you can't save lives, don't meddle.

　It might actually do more harm than good.

　With this attitude, the group quietly stayed at a distance, watching the magical girls chant spells to help the fire truck extinguish the fire.

　The experienced residents of Central City were already used to sudden, massive explosions, and they were still a little unaccustomed to the recent decrease in explosions.

　So those who save lives save lives, those who watch stand by ...

　It's so smooth and harmonious...it somehow gives this "commonplace" scene a dark humor.

　However, they were not from Fengdu, but from Central City, so there weren't many onlookers... If it were Fengdu, there would definitely be a large group of people coming to watch and have some fun.

　One of the unspoken rules for office workers in Fengdu—

　If there's something interesting to watch outside the window, then you can slack off and watch; the boss and superiors won't mind... because they're also enjoying the show.

　.

　Even so, no matter which city it is, just standing by and watching will inevitably have some impact on disaster relief efforts.

　They were also worried about a secondary explosion that could endanger the onlookers.

　So, the magical girl quickly and politely began to shoo people away, rushing them from the east side of Central Avenue to the west side without even blinking.

　What? You're asking me if their eyes are dry?

　I said they were chasing people away, and you asked me if their eyes were dry?

　These magical girls seemed to have noticed Cong Yu and the others. So they walked over and said in a clear, melodious, and gentle voice, "Everyone, if... Oh my god! A snow woman?!"

　The magical girl instantly recognized the snow woman and jumped back in fright, then noticed Takemikazuchi.

　"Holy crap, isn't that...that one?!"

　Being pointed at with a finger by a magical girl in a very impolite way, Takemikazuchi proudly raised his head... Haha, now he, Takemikazuchi, is quite famous too!

　That nameless nobody, Takemikazuchi, is dead. He is no longer the Hobo King who wandered around and no one knew him!

　Wa hahaha!

　Under Takemikazuchi's proud expression, the magical girl remembered: "The Dog King meme that our city is promoting... the resemblance is so high!"
