Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　but……

　As Cong Yu watched the moving company staff try their best to restore the layout of her room, she pondered the aspects of the process that could be manipulated.

　And the motives of the guy who can manipulate all of this.

　Was it arranged by the "doctor"? Or is there a "boss" behind it? Or is it some other group of weirdos trying to expose my identity?

　These rain clusters could not be confirmed.

　He wasn't even sure if he was outsmarting thin air.

　While Cong Yu was pondering this, the moving company had already completely restored the furnishings to their original state.

　Then, a staff member who seemed to be in charge simply handed the form to Cong Yu, bowing slightly: "Excuse me, could you please check the service satisfaction mark and pay the extra installation fee? We accept payment methods such as PayPal."

　"..." When Cong Yu heard the first half of the sentence, "Check the satisfaction level", she had already selected "satisfaction"... although it was a bit bad to leave the laptops in the open.

　But since I didn't specifically remind them, there's not much to say.

　But upon hearing the second half of the sentence...

　"Ok?"

　Somewhat puzzled, Cong Yu asked the other party, "Excuse me, didn't a single person in a black suit come to pay for the moving expenses?"

　"Hurry up and pay?"

　After receiving the reply that "the main expenses were paid before the move started, and this five thousand is for some miscellaneous expenses," Cong Yu let out a long sigh.

　(Black suit: Hey—)

　"Hikari-chan!!!"

　While shouting this, Cong Yu quickly opened the door to Yao Chuan Guang's room and looked at Yao Chuan Guang with a look of astonishment.

　"Hikari-chan—"

　Upon suddenly hearing the affectionate address, Yaochuan Guang, who was sitting on the bed fiddling with his phone, looked completely at a loss.

　"Huh? Huh? Huh? Why are you so familiar, opening doors to people of the opposite sex like that?!"

　Yao Chuanguang was getting a little frustrated. While rubbing her golden hair, she asked, "What are you doing? We're not that close, are we?"

　In response, Cong Yu patted Yao Chuan Guang on the shoulder nonchalantly: "What? We were just sleeping together in the car."

　That's a really strange thing to say.

　"It was just a simple thing, wasn't it? I was leaning on you!"

　Yaochuan Guang corrected him in this way.

　"..."

　"what……"

　Wouldn't that be even worse?

　Realizing this, Yaochuan Guang immediately became dejected, and her voice became weak and listless: "What happened?"

　Upon hearing this, Cong Yu revealed a triumphant expression, and simply held out his hand: "Lend me some money - five thousand will be enough."

　Yao Chuanguang hesitated for a moment. She guessed that it was probably the moving company's fee, and since the other party said "borrowed," it should be returned... right?

　"Okay, fine, I'll cover it for you."

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang pouted, took out a cute-looking bear wallet, counted out five thousand, and handed it to Cong Yu.

　Yao Chuan Guang felt that it would be very awkward if Cong Yu had no money to pay him when everyone else had finished their work, and they were stuck in this stalemate.

　Putting himself in Yaochuan Guang's shoes, he felt he needed to borrow money.

　"Thank you——"

　Cong Yu walked out of the room with satisfaction, then poked her head back in: "I'll return it to you after I die... Anyway, I'll definitely die before the magical girl."

　Anyway, magical girls are monsters who neither age nor die.

　"Wait, hold on!"

　Of course, Yaochuan Guang's shouts were useless, and she wouldn't actually chase after him to get them back.

　"Sigh, you don't need to pay me back... but remember my kindness!"

　Although that's what he said, Yaochuan Guang didn't really expect Cong Yuji to remember his good deeds.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Cong Yu: "Yes, yes, yes—"

　Chapter Seven: Light Was Cut in Half (Sad)

　"Beep beep beep... Cong Yusang!"

　As the black luxury car honked its horn, a voice in a black suit calling out to Cong Yu came from downstairs, but there was no response.

　"Cong Yusang! You're not familiar with the area yet, are you?! Shall I invite you out for dinner? We can sign the contract while we're there."

　"Cong Yusang?!"

　Amidst the noise from the man in the black suit, Yaochuan Guang, finding it very noisy, came out of his room and then saw Cong Yu sitting on the sofa.

　Then he paused, stunned.

　The living room is shared by all four bedrooms, but Hikaru Yokawa prefers to stay in his own room, so usually only Nagisa Aoi is in the living room.

　At this moment, Cong Yu, wearing those high-end-looking full-ear headphones, seemed to be staring very intently at the laptop screen on the coffee table.

　The pen in my hand glided rapidly across the graphics tablet, while my left hand kept typing on the keyboard... it seemed to be Ctrl+Z.

　Although he didn't quite understand what the two buttons were for, Yaochuan Guang finally understood why Congyu couldn't hear his manager calling him.

　To be honest, Yaochuan Guang had almost never seen Cong Yu look this serious before, and he found it surprisingly handsome.

　Perhaps this is his true self?

　If he had less of that perverse sense of humor, that would be great.

　Lan Tianzhu sat next to Cong Yu, his bare feet casually crossed, leaning lazily against the sofa, watching TV with the remote control in hand.

　Upon seeing Yaochuan Guang emerge, Lantian Zhu raised his hand expressionlessly to convey "Good afternoon."

　For some reason, even though he was the one who knew Lan Tianzhu earlier, Yaochuan Guang felt like he was being isolated.

　These two seem like they could get along really well!

　"Cong Yusang? Are you there? Yaochuan?"

　Hearing the man in the black suit call his name, Yaochuan Guang ran to the window and responded to the man in the black suit next to the car below: "Good afternoon, Cong Yu is working now, it seems like he is drawing a comic."

　The man in the black suit was taken aback, not expecting that Cong Yu had already gotten into work mode in just a few hours.

　"I see! Then I won't bother you any longer... Wait, it's almost lunchtime, isn't it? Could you please tell Cong Yu-san that Lan Tian is going to join us for lunch? I found a great ramen place, I'll treat you."

　"..." How cunning... They ask us to do things that bother others, is this the wisdom of adults?

　Yao Chuan Guang pouted, making malicious assumptions about others, but for the sake of ramen, he still followed his manager's advice and prepared to turn around and call out to Cong Yu.

　However, unexpectedly

　As she expected, Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu had already changed their shoes at the door at some point.

　When Yaochuan Guang turned his head, he was met with the two people's expressionless gazes... It was more like they had blank faces than calm ones.

　Seriously! Seeing two expressionless faces at night would be terrifying!

　"What are you doing? Aren't you drawing comics... or watching TV?"

　Yao Chuanguang asked subconsciously, glancing at the closed computer and the turned-off TV, wondering why the two of them looked like they were about to leave.

　"I heard someone is treating us to ramen."

　"The agent said he'd treat us to ramen."

　The two spoke in unison, which deeply shocked Yao Chuanguang... Why were they so in sync? Why were they so in sync?

　It was clearly me, I was clearly here first.

　"You two... penniless bastards!!!"

　Yao Chuanguang gritted his teeth.

　……

　It's decided! I'm going to channel my grief and anger into food in a bit!!!

　-

　Cong Yu: "A bowl of thick-cut char siu tonkotsu ramen, a large bowl, with extra garlic, please."

　Lantianzhu: "A bowl of seafood and scallop ramen, medium size."

　Yao Chuan Guang: "A bowl of miso pork cutlet ramen, plus pork cutlet, soup, noodles, fish, add it all! Money is no problem (it's not my money anyway)."

　"..." Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu stared blankly at the high bowl of noodles piled up in front of Yao Chuanguang... Wasn't it a bit too eye-catching?

　Cong Yu decided to pretend she didn't know this person... anyway, they weren't really that close.

　However, to Cong Yu's surprise, Yao Chuan Guang actually finished eating, and seemed quite relaxed, even eating faster than she did.

　Lan Tianzhu was actually the slowest eater, calmly scrolling through her phone with one hand while eating, seemingly checking messages.

　"call……"

　Yao Chuanguang took a breath, then placed his chopsticks on the noodle bowl and clasped his hands together: "I'm full... no, I'm stuffed."

　"..." Sensing the silence, Yaochuan Guang glanced at Cong Yu, who was wiping her mouth with a tissue... Come to think of it, he hadn't said "I'm starting to eat" before.

　Is this really okay?

　While Yao Chuanguang was pondering this, the man in the black suit handed the contract to Cong Yu, indicating, "Cong Yu-san, this is the naming rights contract for 'Teacher CY' joining the company."

　Cong Yu simply accepted the contract and the pen he handed her, and while reading it, she subconsciously tapped the pen lightly on the table in the private room.

　"Da da……"

　"..."

　"sorry to bother you."

　In response, Cong Yu signed her name on both contracts... the terms of which were quite generous.

　Although the sponsorship fee isn't much, Congyu probably won't be in a situation where it's always broke... but it might still "run out of money occasionally."

　Not having to pay rent is truly a good thing.

　Housing prices and commodity prices in Fengdu are not low.

　"This is the right place. Yaochuan, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

　As he spoke, the man in the black suit got up to take the group, who had finished eating and drinking, home. Then he heard a commotion outside.

　"A strange man has attacked!"

　"Everyone, stop heading that way!"

　"Leave this street."

　"He's a weirdo!!!"

　"..." After a pause, the group looked up at each other at the same time, and Yaochuan Guang stood up almost immediately.

　"I'll go. The contract dispute with Xiao Lan is too troublesome. You guys go back first, I'll take care of it quickly!"

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, Congyu wondered what kind of "contract dispute" Lantian Zhu had.

　"Magical Girl Shining☆-chan, transform!"

　Amidst such sounds, golden ribbons of light, like silk, instantly converged from all directions.

　The intense magic made Cong Yu's nose a little itchy.

　Cong Yu could clearly see a high concentration of magic power emerging from the origin of the world, overflowing from its core like silt.

　It transformed into a light and graceful form, wrapping around Yaochuan Guang's body, and branding the body, which was no longer human, with a mark used to activate the special characteristics of that body.

　Then, the holy light that had obscured their vision vanished instantly.

　What is revealed to everyone is (Magical Girl Shining☆-chan) dressed as a magical girl, her body adorned with fluttering ribbons and lace.
