Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　She took the blanket into her room, then kicked it far away.

　Her pajamas were pulled up, revealing her smooth, fair belly.

　"..." He looks like he's a rather restless sleeper.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu casually covered her with a blanket, changed his clothes, and opened the door to find a corpse.

　Or rather, Lan Tianzhu, sprawled on the sofa, his face screaming "I'm so hungry," lost in the gloom of life.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　After exchanging bewildered glances, Cong Yu broke the silence first: "It's not even noon yet, you shouldn't be hungry, right?"

　I usually post this at 7 a.m. after breakfast, so it's only been three hours.

　Lan Tianzhu didn't offer any explanation for Cong Yu's words, but instead let out a cute wail: "Hungry—"

　"No, no matter what..."

　"Hungry--"

　"I still think Lan Tianzhu, you should keep more snacks at home, otherwise..."

　"Hungry--"

　"..." Looking at Lan Tianzhu who looked like a begging kitten, Cong Yu sighed and went back to his room to get a bag of biscuits: "Have some biscuits to tide you over."

　As for Cong Yu's good intentions...

　Lan Tianzhu raised her hand energetically, like a primary school student asking a question in class, and expressed her idea: "I want to eat a British seagull sandwich and black truffle salad potato wedges."

　Cong Yu: "!!!"

　This goes beyond the phrase "taking an inch and wanting a mile"—it's beyond what you can describe!

　However, before Cong Yu could express her opinion, Lan Tianzhu had already happily unwrapped the cookie and started eating it: "But thank you anyway."

　"..." For some reason, Cong Yu felt like she had been tricked by Lan Tianzhu.

　Perhaps this is the reason why "those who play pranks are always the ones who play pranks." However, Cong Yu at this moment was unaware that she herself was also used to playing pranks.

　Ming.

　He couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself... Lan Tianzhu's personality is truly despicable.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu changed her shoes and said simply, "No need to thank me for such a small thing. You should thank me for helping to stop Yao Chuan Guang... She heard the commotion you made last night and was going to come looking for you."

　As Cong Yu said this, seeing Lan Tianzhu's hand, which was eating a cookie, frozen in mid-air, he casually added, "Be moderate—"

　This became the final straw that broke Lan Tianzhu's psychological defenses.

　"..." Watching Cong Yu leave, Lan Tianzhu opened her mouth wide, the biscuit fell from her hand onto the coffee table... her face also turned slightly red.

　"Cong Yu, what a scoundrel."

　Perhaps this is the reason why "a scoundrel will always have someone else to deal with him".

　-

　"yawn--"

　Yaochuan Guang finally woke up around noon, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was... a face!

　"Quah!"

　With a strange cry, Yaochuan Guang immediately jumped up from the beanbag chair, and the blanket covering him flew up as well.

　Then, it fell precisely onto the body of the lying corpse, Lan Tianzhu.

　Perhaps it can be considered as covering the shroud called "rest in peace" for Blue Sky Nagisa, who was suffering from hunger.

　"..." In a brief silence, Hikaru Yokawa regained consciousness and looked at Azuma Nagisa, whose face was now completely pale: "Azuma..."

　The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say them.

　Yao Chuanguang checked the time on his phone, which showed 12:40, a time that was hard to call early.

　In other words, we have already said goodbye to the proper time for "breakfast".

　"I'm going to cook now. I'll have omelets for breakfast."

　As Yaochuan Guang spoke, he left Congyu's room, then said with a troubled expression, "After this, I'll buy some bread that can be stored for a long time for you and Congyu to use in an emergency... but it might not be necessary."

　After all, Cong Yu will find something to eat when she's hungry, but Xiao Lan won't.

　To this, Lan Tianzhu's answer was also very reasonable: "Xiaoguang, I want to eat a British seagull sandwich and black truffle salad potato wedges."

　"..."

　"That's outrageous! You should have told me yesterday if you wanted to eat it!"

　Yaochuan Guang loudly complained, tapping Lantian Zhu's head with his fingers, and sighed as he started heating oil in a wok.

　Taking this opportunity, Yaochuan Guang took out his phone and swiped it.

　Unlike Cong Yu, who is always glued to his phone and seems to be playing with it all day long for some reason, Yao Chuan Guang plays with his phone relatively little.

　She has no interest in things like "selfies," and she just occasionally scrolls through Twitter to see what her following list looks like.

　It's basically news from senior colleagues at the agency.

　Then, Hikaru Yokawa saw... Cong Yu's tweet.

　The picture shows Cong Yu and the coffee shop manager from before, with cake and coffee in front of them.

　The tweet was captioned "Met some kind people, the snacks were delicious," followed by several heart-shaped emojis.

　Yaochuan Guang casually liked Congyu's tweet and learned about Congyu-chan's schedule for the day—to eat and drink for free under the guise of being her savior!

　After rescuing the manager of the Echo Coffee Maid Cafe from the weirdo, Congyu-chan went over and ate many free snacks.

　Even though this store no longer offers free promotions.

　I must say, she truly lives up to her name, Congyu-chan.

　While reflecting on his own thoughts, Yaochuan Guang noticed the replies and likes under Cong Yu's tweet.

　I was immediately startled.

　The above shows that 139 people, including [Snowy, Already Darkened, His Majesty the Emperor's Left Protector, His Majesty the Emperor's Right Protector, Two Medical Researchers, etc., have liked this post].

　There were many replies below as well...

　It looks delicious.

　Life in the Windy City seems pretty good.

　Replies like "Who is this woman?! (Knife!)"

　They all seemed very friendly.

　Thinking this, Hikaru put his phone away and started cooking for Nagisa Aoi and himself... a meal that was hard to define as either breakfast or lunch.

　He was still thinking about Cong Yu's tweet.

　Even though it was just posted, a lot of people have already liked Congyu-chan's post, and there are quite a few replies.

　Although Hikaru Yokawa knew that Congyu-chan might be popular, he obviously didn't expect her to be this popular.

　That's enough to call it "having friends all over the world," isn't it?!

　With this in mind, Hikaru Yaochuan suddenly thought of something... Speaking of which, does Congyu-chan consider me and Xiaolan as friends?

　With so many friends, I don't think I'll make a difference.

　But since we've exchanged Lixe accounts and followed each other on Twitter, we can probably be considered friends now, right?

　Yaochuan Guang didn't quite understand, so he looked at Lantian Zhu with a pleading look: "Lan, do you think... we're friends with Congyu-chan?"

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Yao Chuan Guang: "Xiao Lan, don't stay silent—"

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　In the silence, Azuma Nagisa quietly spoke up, delivering a very characteristic witty remark: "I might be considered a friend, but you... you're more like Coco, I guess."

　(Coco)

　—A commonly used dog name, similar to Wangcai.

　"Phew, that's good!"

　"..." Lan Tianzhu: "???"

　The training is complete?!

　Chapter Seventy: She's too good at it (though it was all a fluke).

　The temperature here in Fengdu is quite pleasant, and it can definitely be described as "warm in winter and cool in summer"... but it's not quite spring-like all year round.

　This Sunday, the city experienced a small cold snap at the end of spring, prompting many people who planned to go out over the weekend to put on an extra layer of clothing.

　However, not everyone is like that...

　For example, when Yaochuan Guang and Congyu went out on a "date," the former casually wore a scarf, while the latter pretended to change into a slightly thicker coat.

　For both of them, temperature changes obviously wouldn't have much of an impact.

　At this moment, the two were sitting on the tram, a few stops away from their destination, their meeting place—the Fudo Cemetery.

　So Yaochuan Guang's excuse was really lame!

　It would be better to invite Cong Yu and suggest going to the cemetery on Sunday to steal some offerings...

　In this world, the funeral business is very profitable because a lot of people die.

　The cemetery's transportation hubs also have many direct tram lines... No need to transfer, which is good news for Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang.

　"Ding-dong - Fengdu Cemetery Station, arrived... Passengers please proceed from the right..."

　"..."

　"arrive."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she patted Yao Chuan Guang, who was dozing off beside her, and pulled her out of the car: "Didn't you go to bed quite early last night?"

　Yesterday, Yaochuan Guang slept in Congyu's room again, and this time he even brought in a lot of plush toys and pillows, practically making a little nest in Congyu's room.

　"Um...uh..."

　Yao Chuanguang pondered for a moment, rubbing her eyes as she took Cong Yu's hand: "Hmm, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned... I finally drifted off to sleep very late."

　It sounds like you're not sleeping well.

　In response, Cong Yu led the way while saying, "A beanbag chair really can't replace a bed, right?"

　Yao Chuanguang shook his head: "No, that's not the reason... It's probably because I slept too much this morning and my sleep schedule is messed up."

　Cong Yu: "Then you must have something on your mind."

　It's true... Yaochuan Guang really was thinking about something all night, which is why he couldn't fall asleep and kept tossing and turning.

　"Ah."

　After a brief pause, Hikaru Yokawa hesitated for half a second before deciding to be more frank with Murasame: "I'm thinking... um, I'm afraid that as a magical girl, I might suddenly die in a battle with a monster one day and be buried in the ground."

　As she said this, Yaochuan Guang showed no fear on her face. She continued, "And then... everyone will forget me, as if I never existed and did nothing."

　This is what Hikaru Yokawa truly fears. She is indeed afraid of death, but she is even more afraid of what happens after death... To put it bluntly, she realized that her existence was not important to the world, and she was so frustrated that she became emotional.

　Cong Yu wasn't particularly surprised by this, even though her existence was indeed ordinary in the grand scheme of things...

　Ten, twenty, or thirty years from now, the winds of Fengdu will also erode her into quicksand in the hearts of the people.

　However, it's not entirely true that Yaochuan Guang is really that ordinary.

　After all, there aren't many magical girls that Congyu can like, and Yaochuan Guang is one of them, or rather, one of them.

　And this is something Yaochuan Guang should be proud of.

　"Then just don't die."

　Cong Yu said casually, then paused and added, "And even if you die, I will remember you."

　Yaochuan Guang instantly perked up at Cong Yu's words.
