Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"Great!"

　Yao Chuanguang was moved to tears, and she exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "It's so good to have a man in the family!"

　Lan Tianzhu also strongly agreed with this.

　She could no longer maintain a calm expression; instead, she displayed a demeanor that could only be described as "still in shock."

　"Since you're scared too, there's no need to pretend to be strong."

　Cong Yurui commented on Lan Tianzhu, looking at some small brown cylinders behind the cabinet... those were cockroach egg cases.

　If left unattended, a bunch of baby cockroaches will hatch.

　Cong Yu quickly destroyed everything, then tied the garbage bag containing the cockroach carcasses and egg cases into a tight knot.

　Then, seeing that Yaochuan Guang had calmed down, he kindly reminded him, "It seems that there are probably quite a few cockroaches in our house."

　As she said this, Cong Yu added, "Everyone probably has cockroaches in their room, but this is just a particularly bad area..."

　The two magical girls froze.

　“I have some poison for cockroaches, I’ll put some in everyone’s room and the living room… If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to call a pest control company.”

　As Cong Yu said this, she went back to her room to get a can of something, then squeezed into various corners: "If you're willing to use magic to search the house and then crush all the cockroaches into powder, there won't be so much trouble..."

　Yao Chuanguang imagined... himself using magic to come into contact with a disgusting cockroach, and then squeezing it out...

　Eh... Ugh!

　Unable to accept it, Yaochuan Guang felt that there was nothing wrong with using cockroach bait, but she looked at Cong Yu squeezing gel bait into the corner of the wall.

　suddenly think of……

　You got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and came back to find a bunch of cockroaches having a feast, right? Then when the cockroaches saw you, they just scurried all over the place.

　Surely not...

　During Yaochuan Guang's brainstorming session, Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu went to their respective rooms to apply cockroach bait.

　The cockroach crisis that occurred today has finally come to an end.

　Ok……

　Is it over...?

　-

　"Boom boom boom——"

　"what's up?"

　"Um... Congyu-chan, I want to go with you."

　sleep."

　Cong Yu: “?”

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Hehe—"

　Chapter Sixty-Six: The Arrogant Persona Gradually Solidifies

　"If you're really afraid of cockroaches, my room is the same; I also put cockroach bait there."

　Cong Yu said this, while standing at the door of his room was Yao Chuan Guang, who was holding a beanbag chair.

　"Besides, if you're going to throw this thing on the floor of my room and sleep on it... I think the chances of being attacked by cockroaches in the middle of the night are much higher."

　Admittedly, Cong Yu's words made a lot of sense. But Yao Chuan Guang simply felt that Cong Yu's room was safer...

　What may bring a sense of security is not the specific room, but the relatively reliable people in the room.

　Hikaru Yokawa: (ω)

　Despite Yaochuan Guangcongyu's blinking eyes, he eventually stepped aside, letting her toss the beanbag chair next to his bed... along with a small blanket with a rainbow pattern.

　"..." Cong Yu silently watched as Yao Chuan Guang moved things from her room to his own... such as pillows and dolls.

　Although the area occupied was not large, and her place was originally quite empty.

　But for some reason, Cong Yu felt that Yao Chuan Guang had built something that looked like a "cat tree" in his room.

　It's probably a pet shelter.

　In silence, he couldn't help but sigh...

　Damn it, how did magical girls become like this?!

　Previously, Hikari Yokawa was a shy magical girl who would say, "Isn't it inappropriate to let someone of the opposite sex live in my house?" But now she has learned to shamelessly sneak into the room of someone of the opposite sex.

　The world is going to the dogs; it's truly lamentable.

　Unaware of the sigh in Cong Yu's heart, Yao Chuan Guang lazily sank into the beanbag chair, hugging a cushion and blinking at Cong Yu.

　As she prepared to sleep in a boy's room for the first time, she seemed to blush slightly, perhaps out of shyness.

　So if you're shy, don't come over first... What is this supposed to mean?

　Do you trust me?

　Cong Yu thought this to herself, then glanced at Yao Chuan Guang, and then...

　Their eyes met.

　Unlike Cong Yu, who glanced at Yao Chuan Guang, she seemed to have been looking this way the whole time... It could only be said that this was already in the category of "closely watching".

　If it were an ordinary young person, upon meeting Yaochuan Guang's gaze, they might shyly look away or avoid eye contact.

　But Cong Yu is different.

　Who is he?

　He's not even human (seriously)!

　Cong Yu and Yao Chuanguang stared at each other until the latter changed the subject to divert the awkwardness.

　It lasts about four seconds.

　In other words, Yaochuan Guang lost the staring game in just a few seconds.

　"Um, um... Congyu-chan, do you snore when you sleep?"

　Yaochuan Guang asked this question.

　As for Cong Yu's attempt to make conversation, who herself was unsure whether she would snore, she laid it all out in advance: "You might snore. If you have poor sleep quality, you should just go back to your own room to sleep... or you can go to Lan Tianzhu's room."

　To be honest, Cong Yu didn't understand why Yao Chuan Guang didn't prioritize choosing Lan Tian Zhu's room.

　To this, Yaochuan Guang immediately gave this answer: "Ah... Xiao Lan?"

　Yao Chuanguang's expression clearly showed her "disdain," and she said in a disdainful tone, "I feel like Xiao Lan is unreliable."

　(Blue Sky Nagisa: ...)

　Although the phrase "unreliable" sounds strange, when faced with cockroaches, Nagisa Azuma's performance was indeed inferior to that of Hikaru Yokawa.

　So it's not surprising that they wanted to come and seek Cong Yu's protection.

　"So, I'm going to start snoring?"

　Cong Yu answered casually while fiddling with her phone.

　He knew that Yaochuan Guang was just striking up a conversation and didn't actually really want to know if he snored. So he responded only half-heartedly.

　In response, Yaochuan Guang immediately began to fake cry.

　"No, Congyu-chan, you can't snore, right? I believe you! If you can't, I'll be too tired to rest properly, too exhausted to get up for school, and then no one will cook for you and Xiaolan, causing you to starve to death. Then I'll spend the rest of my life filled with regret, waaaaah—"

　That sounds like such a familiar sales pitch!

　"You actually used my spell against me!"

　Cong Yu questioned him, then her voice laced with obvious amusement: "But have you considered that tomorrow is Saturday, and we don't have to go to school?"

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Oh, I think so—"

　"So, no matter how much pain and exhaustion you are, Lan Tianzhu and I will wake you up and have you cook."

　Yaochuan Guang: "Croak?! Devil!"

　"..." After this interruption, the atmosphere in the room improved a lot, and the topic of whether Cong Yu snores was no longer discussed.

　Well, to put it bluntly, this topic was just Yaochuan Guang making conversation out of nothing.

　"Congyu-chan, are you free tomorrow?"

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's question, Congyu recalled his schedule: "I have plans starting at noon... but I'm free in the morning."

　The plan is to go to that coffee shop we met before to see Riko Nagashima and ask her about her recent situation, so I'm free in the morning.

　However, Cong Yu will sleep until around 10 a.m.

　"Oh? Is that so... Are you free on Sunday?"

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's question once again, Cong Yu leaned quietly against the pillows placed on the bed board and looked at Yaochuan Guang lying on the floor beside the bed: "Yes."

　Upon hearing Congyu's brief response, Yaochuan Guang immediately perked up: "Okay, then Congyu-chan, can I borrow your time on Sunday?"

　In other words, there's some action that requires me to be involved...

　But that's a rather polite way of putting it.

　"..."

　"In just six sentences, you asked me three questions... Isn't that a bit too subservient? Do you really think of yourself as my dog?"

　Cong Yu commented, then, seeing Yao Chuan's sullen expression, asked, "What exactly happened?"

　Yao Chuanguang's eyes lit up at Cong Yu's question, and she pouted, "It's a date—"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Clearly, Cong Yu paused for a moment. With his normal intelligence, he could tell that Yao Chuan Guang's "date" didn't mean that.

　But she said it on purpose, hoping that Cong Yu would misunderstand.

　Cong Yu didn't go along with her and say something like, "Huh? Am I your boyfriend?" Instead, he was more direct and clear: "Be more specific... I won't agree to something that's vague."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　This time, it was Yaochuan Guang who fell silent. She seemed lost in thought, her whole demeanor hesitant.

　They then didn't seem inclined to continue the topic.

　"It's just a date, anyway... Don't you think you're getting a great deal, Murasame-chan, going on a date with a beautiful girl like me?"

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, he gradually buried his head in the blanket, but unfortunately, he did not hear Congyu's response for a long time.

　"..."

　"Go to Fengdu Cemetery."

　Yaochuan Guang said this in a muffled voice...

　However, I decided against it.

　For Congyu-chan, being invited to a place like that by a girl she had only known for a short time... was still quite strange, wasn't it?

　With this thought in mind, she pulled the covers over her head, hoping to fall asleep quickly...

　And tomorrow, forget about tonight's embarrassment.

　"..."

　"Sigh, although I'm not the kind of person who accepts date invitations easily."

　Hearing Cong Yu's voice, Yao Chuan Guang realized something. She looked up in surprise and immediately cheered—

　"Great!"

　This was clearly an early toast to champagne, but Cong Yu didn't intend to change his tune and tease her, even though that might be quite amusing.

　"However... since you've put it that way, I can accept this invitation."

　As Cong Yu said this, she remained lying on the bed, casually swiping her phone as she spoke: "However, I'm just curious why you invited me to a place like that, not because I agreed for you. Don't get the wrong idea."

　As for Cong Yu who said that...

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Murayu-chan! Tsundere! Cute! I love you so much!"
