Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"!!!" The editor really wanted to punch Cong Yu, who was pretending to be stupid, over the phone. Her voice sounded helpless: "No matter what, the manuscript must be sent out before next month. Otherwise, the printing of our standalone edition will be delayed."

　Cong Yu, seemingly unconcerned, casually propped her chin up and operated the computer, opening Yao Chuan Guang's Metuber account.

　Or rather, the group account of Magical Girl Shining☆chan and Magical Girl Blue Sky☆chan... has seen a promising increase in followers and is quite popular.

　"Teacher CY, are you still listening on your end?"

　When pressed by the editor, Cong Yu sighed, "Sigh, I'm listening... but I'm so lazy, what can I do?"

　Editor: Are you asking me?!

　edit:"……"

　"..." Cong Yu rested his chin on his hand, bored. He wondered why there had been a long silence on the editor's end, and then he heard it...

　"Waaah! Waaah—"

　Why are you crying?!

　Hearing the editor suddenly burst into tears on the other end of the phone, Cong Yu was caught off guard: "You... um..."

　My attitude wasn't too bad, was it? I didn't swear or insult anyone... It's not uncommon for people to do that.

　It's just a delayed manuscript, why are you crying so bitterly?

　Has she just started working recently?

　"Sobbing—sobbing—"

　“Wow—”

　Was she really crying or just faking it?

　Cong Yu, unsure of what to do, fell silent, but finally spoke up: "Don't...don't cry, I know, I'll draw it as soon as possible."

　The moment Cong Yu made that promise, the crying stopped.

　"really?"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Hearing the "tears turned into laughter" on the other end, Cong Yu felt like he had been tricked. He silently said, "I've changed my mind."

　Before I could even mourn Cong Yu's change of heart, what came from the other end of the phone was... a sob that was about to burst forth!

　"Woo..."

　Crying attack! It's a crying attack!

　"Okay, okay, I understand."

　Cong Yu interrupted the other party's spellcasting animation: "Now I understand why I was transferred."

　"Fujitani, it's your turn to meet me... You're really something."

　In response to Cong Yu's sigh, the person on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Thank you for the compliment. I'll leave it to Teacher CY then."

　"..."

　"Hmph, cunning woman."

　Cong Yu made this assessment, stretched, and felt that it was indeed about time he started drawing comics.

　As he himself said, he draws comics faster than anyone can imagine, and if he puts his full effort into it, drawing 100 pages in one night is no problem at all.

　So where does this speed come from?

　"System, add more!"

　Cong Yu gave the order with such confidence...

　What? Cong Yu actually has a system? Is it the "Strongest Manga Copying System"? Why hasn't it appeared in the previous chapters?

　Could it be that Cong Yu was hiding his true intentions too well? He even managed to deceive Lord Can Yue Kuang Tu!

　Deeply thoughtful!

　This guy is so scary!

　"..." And with Cong Yu's "System Points Addition" command... well, it seems nothing happened.

　Wait! There's no such setting at all!

　……

　Cong Yu was just joking; her fast drawing speed was due to her strong physical abilities and the memory of "public X link" in her mind.

　To put it bluntly, Cong Yu was just copying the original comic, and he didn't even change the character designs and names much.

　They simply changed the name of the character to "magical girl".

　That's why Cong Yu finished uploading the required amount of content for the month almost before midnight and set up an automatic posting a week later.

　I also completed the character illustration for Blue Sky Nagisa.

　This includes titles such as 【Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Chan (Swimsuit)】, 【Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Chan (New Year)】, and 【SP Blue Sky☆Chan】.

　Then, Cong Yu sent the manuscript over, just over ten minutes later.

　0:03 — [126XXXXXX31 (Tianshu Entertainment Co., Ltd.): Cy-sensei's artwork has been received and is currently being checked.]

　0:09 — [126XXXXXX31 (Tianshu Entertainment Co., Ltd.): Okay, the payment has been made to your account as agreed. Teacher, please confirm.]

　Wow, so fast! And so refreshing!

　Cong Yu looked at the more than 10,000 yuan that had been deposited into her account. The currency used in this world was not yen... well, it was probably a fictional currency.

　(This means that the amounts are often just randomly written down, filled in with a number based on the atmosphere. Readers can also try to understand this peculiar currency by looking at the atmosphere.)

　This fee of over ten thousand yuan is quite generous for less than ten character illustrations.

　So Cong Yu was naturally very happy, preparing to shut down her computer and end her workday... Awesome!

　The moment he closed his laptop.

　"Ah! A cockroach!!!"

　A gasp of surprise came from Yaochuan Guang's room, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps, and then...

　Wearing only his pajamas, Hikaru Yokawa rushed out, his face filled with terror: "Murayu-chan! There are cockroaches in my room!"

　"..." Magical girls are afraid of cockroaches?

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Chapter Sixty-Five: The Only Reliable Man

　Should magical girls be afraid of cockroaches?

　Cong Yu initially thought this was utter nonsense; the prefix for "magical girl" is "magic," and cockroaches are simply not worth mentioning.

　By simply setting up an automatic target-finding magical barrier, one can easily locate the cockroach and then... blast it to smithereens!

　However, Cong Yu suddenly realized...

　Although the prefix is ​​"magic", the suffix is ​​"girl", and it's perfectly normal for a girl to be afraid of cockroaches.

　"Little Blue! Cong Yu-chan! It's up to you two!"

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang stood at the door, giving a thumbs-up to Lantian Zhu and Congyu in his room.

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　In silence, Lan Tianzhu, wearing only her pajamas, quietly cleared the background apps on her phone.

　Then, she looked at Yaochuan Guang, who was also only wearing pajamas and waving a light stick that he had found somewhere.

　"So, when you rushed into my room and shouted, 'Something terrible has happened! Little Blue, save me!' you were referring to the cockroaches?"

　Lan Tianzhu questioned this, then looked at Yao Chuanguang, who was scratching his head in embarrassment, and asked, "Where did you see the cockroach?"

　"It's right there... next to the cabinet next to Congyu-chan."

　"……"cabinet?

　Cong Yu moved to the left and looked at the cabinet containing some books that seemed to have never been read and some dolls.

　I feel like it might be behind the cabinet.

　Judging from this, Cong Yu looked at the two of them: "You can use magic to search, limit the range, and detect living things, that should be enough."

　Upon hearing this, Yaochuan Guang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, while pitifully clinging to Cong Yu's leg.

　It was a hug like a koala's, with his arms wrapped around Cong Yu's thighs and his face pressed completely against her legs.

　"No, no, no... I don't want to use magic to touch cockroaches! Congyu-chan, think of another way—"

　As he spoke, Yaochuan Guang made a gesture resembling wiping away tears towards Cong Yu's pants, expressing...

　Her refusal.

　Although, in terms of development, there are people of Yaochuan Guang's age (at least in terms of appearance) who are better than her.

　But she is clearly not the worst... for example, Nagisa Azuma, or a girl who is more tragic than Nagisa Azuma.

　Clearly, Yaochuan Guang cannot be considered the "flat" type; she is quite well-endowed, and for someone as close as her...

　Cong Yu, of course, did not react at all.

　Cong Yu even shook her leg in disgust, hoping that this annoying guy would stop sticking to her.

　However, Yaochuan Guang clung to him tightly, like a mouse stuck to a sticky trap, clinging to his leg.

　Cong Yu had no doubt that even if she started to walk now, Yao Chuan Guang would not let go, but would drag her along as if she were being dragged on the ground.

　It's so low down there, it's really too low down there.

　Realizing Yaochuan Guang's admirable persistence, Congyu helplessly turned his gaze to Lantian Zhu.

　Nagisa Azuma is a veteran magical girl, so given her age and personality, she shouldn't be afraid of cockroaches.

　"..." Noticing Cong Yu's gaze, Lan Tianzhu, who had been smiling as she watched Yao Chuan Guang and Cong Yu interact, immediately changed her expression.

　Lan Tianzhu, unable to manage a smile, avoided Cong Yu's gaze with a hint of guilt: "Um, uh..."

　Cong Yu: "Don't tell me you're afraid of cockroaches too."

　To this, Lan Tianzhu immediately wanted to deny it, saying, "No, it's probably impossible that I'm not very afraid of bugs, but..."

　"Mmm, um, ah..."

　He uttered a strange syllable, and then helplessly raised his hand, making a "little bit" gesture with his index finger and thumb: "little bit".

　She said that first, then added, "I'm only a little scared... not really scared, just a little nauseous."

　"..." Judging from your expression, it doesn't seem like "just a little" scared; I'm guessing it's more like "a tiny bit"...

　"Oh... okay."

　Cong Yu sighed, then moved the easily tipped items off Yao Chuan Guang's cabinet to the side and slowly dragged the cabinet away.

　Almost the instant he moved the cabinet, a dark figure suddenly darted out from behind it and then quickly disappeared to the other side of the room.

　"Cockroaches! Congyu-chan, help me!"

　Yao Chuan Guang, who was shouting, quickly retreated and squeezed against Cong Yu... He probably realized that Xiao Lan and he were in the same boat, so he did not ask Xiao Lan for help.

　"what!!!!!"

　As it turned out, Hikaru Yokawa's feeling was right, because Nagisa Aoi first jumped up and down frantically, and then immediately jumped onto Hikaru Yokawa's bed to avoid disaster.

　She squealed like a groundhog.

　This could be a shadow over their lives, like a dark moment they often recall but can never forget.

　But it doesn't matter, because Cong Yu will take action!

　"Bah-"

　The cockroach hiding in the corner, after nearly single-handedly killing two magical girls, was simply stomped to death by Cong Yu.

　He trampled it to pieces, and even scattered the corpse.

　So magical girls are really lame...

　This time it's the weirdo's victory!
