Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　The person who called the police was dressed in simple white casual clothes and black sunglasses... but even so, her facial features still looked strange.

　It lacks the typical aesthetic appeal of magical girls.

　It's roughly the feeling of a lecherous gentleman.

　"Well, I have nothing to add... but I might know that group's goal is to obtain the Nagashima family's special abilities. This is something that happens on the inside, and you probably wouldn't understand. I hope to talk to the magical girl squad in charge here."

　The two policemen hesitated upon hearing the girl's words... They genuinely knew nothing about the Nagashima family's special abilities.

　They knew nothing about the world on the other side either.

　"I understand. We'll contact the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency... If anything happens, we hope you and your friend can let us know as soon as possible."

　"..."

　"..." After leaving the police station, the magical girl took off her sunglasses and met up with her companion who was holding a cigarette: "Alright, from now on, I'll just approach people with the surname Nagashima as a concerned citizen."

　The magical girl holding the cigarette chuckled, "Heh heh, your methods are really dirty... I like it."

　Yes, methods.

　There's really not much to say.

　In other words, they called a group of people they knew to burn down the Nagashima house. Then they pretended to be witnesses and tried to stop them... and then pretended to get beaten up.

　That's all.

　The benefits are...

　Since the Nagashima family has the ability to discern, then when their own house is destroyed and they can't figure out who the culprit is...

　Then, of course, they would use their abilities to investigate the criminal's identity.

　In this way, the two could easily find out which members of the Nagashima family had such abilities and recruit them as "helpers".

　Directed and acted by himself.

　This is just one of the common tactics used by their film and television company.

　In fact, it's just as bad as kidnapping or threats.

　Once they obtain the Nagashima family members, they can study the principles behind their abilities, attempt to replicate them, and utilize their power to open various boxes.

　Yes, their goal is to open the box.

　This is the box weapon designed for magical girls.

　The significance is extremely profound.

　"At that time, we'll first find out which area of ​​Fuuto the magical girl Midori is from."

　"Then we'll find a way to make her our public face... Once she's enjoyed the good life of being 'number one,' she'll gradually become more willing."

　As they quietly made arrangements for the next steps, the two magical girls standing on the street spotted the same man they had seen before—the gatekeeper of the Nagashima family.

　Behind the security guard was a woman who looked rather mature, who seemed somewhat anxious as she walked into the police station.

　The two exchanged a glance.

　They've arrived... the Nagashima family.

　However, whether the other party has the ability to discern is still unknown.

　-

　"As you can see, these are the photos of the killers... Well, through surveillance footage, we can identify many suspects who haven't been disguised by magic. But the police can't pinpoint exactly who or which individuals they are."

　As they spoke, the two police officers explained the details to Riko Nagashima, then glanced outside: "The two witnesses, the magical girls, don't seem to have left yet."

　"They said it's related to some special ability of the Nagashima family... We don't know the specifics either, we can only ask the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency later."

　"..." Nagashima Riko nodded in response to the two police officers' explanation, indicating that she understood: "Thank you for your help."

　In response, one person said, "No, there's no trouble at all. We're sorry we can't help you with that... Please accept our condolences."

　"..." They said to offer condolences...

　Yes, everyone said "please accept our condolences" to Riko Nagashima. The other members of the Nagashima family also said "please accept our condolences" to themselves after learning of Yasuharu Nagashima's disappearance.

　But as for how "sorrowful" she felt, Riko Nagashima really couldn't sense it at all.

　But "not sad" is obviously not the case either... and it's also unreasonable.

　Therefore, Riko Nagashima could only try her best to express that she was somewhat "sad" and put on a sad expression.

　To fit into this strange world.

　but……

　"The Nagashima family's special abilities?"

　As she asked this, Riko Nagashima looked at the old gatekeeper and asked, "Grandpa Kusuke, do you know the specifics of what happened?"

　The old gatekeeper, known as Grandpa Kusaka, nodded first, then shook his head: "I only heard it from a young master when Gezi went out to make her way in the world. It was something like that..."

　Before he could explain further, two magical girls standing by the roadside spoke up first: "They are the discerning eyes that can see through the disguise of magic."

　"It seems that your family members can awaken this ability, which is a very convenient talent for solving cases in the world of magical girls."

　As she said this, the magical girl feigned a sigh: "If only I had that ability, then so many evil people could escape justice."

　"The magical girl will then be unable to continue doing evil."

　"..." In an instant, Riko Nagashima seemed to realize something, and she suddenly understood... So that's why her daughter recognized Murasame's identity so quickly.

　From this perspective, it seems that his daughter is quite talented in the world of magical girls and monsters.

　"Well, I see."

　Riko Nagashima responded, pondering whether to have Xiaocui confirm the murderer's identity... but decided against it.

　Xiao Cui doesn't need to concern herself with the affairs of the Yongdao family.

　Moreover, such an ability is probably still quite dangerous, so it's best not to spread it around... Yes, that's right.

　With this in mind, Riko Nagashima nodded, expressing her gratitude to the two magical girls who had helped her.

　"..."

　"..." After Riko Nagashima left, a magical girl popped a cigarette out of her pocket and put it in her mouth: "Riko Nagashima... right?"

　The other magical girl glanced in the direction Riko Nagashima had left and nodded slightly: "Yes, there's no mistake, her expression says she knows."

　At this point, it's necessary to utilize the company's intelligence network.

　However, it's highly likely that it's the other person's child or husband.

　Chapter 522 Little Green Moriarty

　Riko Nagashima, 32 years old, her husband is Koji Nagashima, her daughter is Nozomi Nagashima... She lives at No. 123, Kuangfeng Community, Eighth Street, in the Fuuto City area.

　She ran a coffee shop, and her husband was the manager of the Grass Flower Bank. After Koji Nagashima disappeared with a large gambling debt, he was suspected of being murdered as a result.

　Since it's certain that Riko Nagashima probably associated someone with the term "discerning eye," therefore...

　We can tentatively narrow the scope to between Nagashima Koji and Nagashima Koki... It may not be possible, but it's a reasonable assumption.

　After all, there's no harm in giving it a try.

　If the person who possessed the "discerning eye" were Yasuharu Nagashima, then there might not have been any follow-up.

　But if it's Nagashima Koki...

　Perhaps we can try to recruit Nagashima Koki for the company... and then complete the grand opening mission!

　With this in mind, the two magical girls followed up on the events in Shinobu Town while also sending their subordinates to Kaze City to find out about Nagashima Nozomi's situation.

　"..." and so, about two or three days passed.

　"Boss, we've found the target. Did you get the address wrong? Nobody's been coming home to the place you gave us these past few days."

　A male employee said this while reporting something on the phone: "But now we've encountered the target on the street... walking with two other little girls, one of whom is wearing a white coat."

　"..." Upon hearing the instructions from the other end of the phone, the male employee responded repeatedly, "Understood, I know what to do."

　After ending the call, the male employee immediately looked at his colleague next to him: "The boss wants you to go up... he said you look like a good person."

　To this, the magical girl beside him immediately curled her lip in disdain and replied kindly, "Like you, what can I do?"

　What a polite magical girl!

　The male employee didn't seem to care about her words, and casually curled his lip: "You know the tricks of kidnapping kids."

　Fine.

　This is familiar now.

　Thinking this, the magical girl, who looked like a normal person, confirmed the target's location and then immediately went to meet him.

　"Xiao Xi! Nagashima Xiao Xi!"

　As she called out, the magical girl smiled kindly and greeted the three little girls walking ahead.

　"Um?"

　The little girl walking ahead stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a hint of confusion on her face: "Huh? Are you looking for me?"

　With that question in mind, Nagashima Koki blinked and asked the older woman, "Excuse me, who are you looking for, sister?"

　In response to Nagashima Nozomi's words, the magical girl immediately replied, "I'm your mother's friend... She asked me to take you to Shoya Town."

　As she said this, the magical girl gestured to Nagashima Nozomi: "Would you like to say goodbye to your friends? We're about to leave."

　"..." In response, Nagashima Nozomi's "friends," namely the doctor and Nozomi who came out to buy things, both cast scrutinizing glances at the magical girl.

　This kind of talk sounds like a scam.

　In fact, even Nagashima Koki was skeptical: "Is Zun Du fake? I don't think my mom is the kind of person who would do something like this... And who are you, Auntie? I've never seen you before."

　While complaining like this, Nagashima Koki took out her phone and sent a message to her mother: "Let me ask my mom..."

　This was also within the magical girl's expectations.

　In fact, Riko Nagashima was unable to reply to the messages... because her phone had been hidden by someone she had arranged.

　Although the methods are very basic, the more basic they are, the more effective they are.

　Jie Jie Jie!

　"..."

　"How about it?"

　Xiao Cui asked Yongdao Xiaoxi this question, and Yongdao Xiaoxi shook her head: "There's no word from Mom... I understand."

　As she said this, under the doctor's thoughtful gaze, Nagashima Koki's face...

　His expression immediately darkened: "Who are you? What do you know? And what have you done to my mother?!"

　"???" No, little sister, your associative abilities are just outrageous.

　Are kids these days suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

　Thinking this, the magical girl cursed inwardly... These kids these days are getting weirder and weirder.

　Xiao Cui and the doctor have already drawn some conclusions from their analysis... mainly because they saw the embedded earpiece in the magical girl's ear.

　Although hidden and tiny.

　But there are two fake lolis, Xiao Cui and the doctor... well, the former is actually a real loli, but an incredibly loli.

　With their keen observation skills, even the slightest reflection was enough for them to determine that the other person was a person with ill intentions.

　Therefore, the scrutiny they initially felt towards each other quickly turned into vigilance, and the two men stared at her with extreme caution.

　The doctor frowned and immediately stood behind the two of them.

　Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, a doctor is just a doctor, not a combatant... and we didn't bring any emergency numbing agents either.

　However, even with just Xiao Cui, dealing with ordinary kidnappers like the one on the other side would be a piece of cake.

　An ordinary kidnapper.

　Ordinary...

　wrong.

　Xiao Cui realized something, looking at the other party's crude and childish methods... Only when facing real children would such a casual strategy be used.
