Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Cong Yu wasn't surprised by this... For many magical girls, inner shadows and painful memories from the past are quite common.

　Without some kind of stress response, you really can't call yourself a magical girl.

　Throughout a magical girl's long life, she will always encounter some terrifying situations... such as her senior being bitten off by a monster in front of her.

　Then the headless corpse fell to the ground with a "plop" and turned into a mangled mess... and so on.

　Or perhaps they are outmaneuvered by an opponent they cannot possibly defeat, and then desperately try to escape death under the cover of their comrades.

　It could even be the feeling of suffocation caused by being squeezed out of living space by magical girls in a stronger magical girl agency, being wronged and having their credit stolen.

　This is magical girl.

　"Yeah, I was woken up by a nightmare."

　With these simple words, Lan Tianzhu's previously pounding heart calmed down a little: "I'm going to take a shower."

　"..." Cong Yu: "?"

　With a slight expression of doubt, Cong Yu calmly raised her coffee cup and said, "I don't think you need to ask me in a 'request' manner."

　If you want to take a shower, just do it. Why do you need to ask for my opinion?

　Lan Tianzhu also paused for a moment, then looked at Cong Yu who had taken a sip of her coffee...

　"Want to shower together?"

　"puff!"

　Cong Yu almost spat out her coffee, but she waved her hand dismissively, saying calmly, "I've already washed up... please do as you please."

　Although Cong Yu figured that even if he jokingly agreed at this point, Lan Tianzhu would not actually joke about taking a bath with him.

　But he is Cong Yu after all; he wouldn't make such a joke.

　"..." After a while, Lan Tianzhu, who had finished taking a bath and wrapped himself in a bath towel, came out of the bathroom and sat down next to Cong Yu.

　Cong Yu is playing a game...

　This is a first-person magical girl shooting game. Different magical girl characters have different skills and roles, and there are many different styles of maps.

　The game is divided into attacking and defending sides... that's how it is.

　"..." Cong Yu, engrossed in the game, glanced at Lan Tianzhu, who was watching him play, and casually asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

　"I was scared by the nightmare and I probably won't be able to sleep for a while."

　As she said this, Lan Tianzhu sighed slightly. She remained silent for a moment before asking, "Cong Yu, you..."

　However, despite wanting to say something, she ultimately didn't.

　She wanted to share some of her nightmares to make herself feel better... but upon closer reflection, Cong Yu probably would just find it baffling.

　Moreover, if Cong Yu could actually help her share some of the burden, then it would seem that she was being too selfish... shifting her burden onto a friend or something.

　"Ok?"

　So, Lan Tianzhu didn't answer Cong Yu's question in the end, but instead changed the subject: "Is the game you're playing now... fun?"

　Cong Yu didn't know what to say about this issue.

　To be honest, it's not that fun...

　But to say it's not fun... it's actually kind of fun.

　Although it looks somewhat

　It's contradictory, but that's the true nature of this game; "Magical Girl Overwatch" is exactly that kind of game.

　"I can't say...would you like to give it a try?"

　With that, Cong Yu moved aside from the computer.

　"I?"

　Lan Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, but nodded without changing his expression, and followed Cong Yu's actions by placing his hands on the keyboard and mouse.

　WASD means forward, backward, left, and right...

　Fortunately, Nagisa Azuma knows these basic common sense facts... Many magical girls are out of touch with the times and don't even know how to use a computer.

　However, Lan Tianzhu only knew the most basic gameplay.

　For more detailed things, I need Cong Yu's guidance.

　"The character you've selected is called... Her shift skill is... When you encounter an enemy, you can first left-click, and then..."

　Under Cong Yu's careful guidance, Lan Tianzhu quickly became proficient, and then, with the terrifying physical abilities and reaction speed of a magical girl, she won this round...

　"Yeah, that's a bit boring."

　Lan Tianzhu commented, then gave up his seat to Cong Yu: "You play, I'll watch you play for a while."

　"..." Indeed, it's normal to feel bored.

　Because Nagisa Azuma was simply using her personal abilities to bully her opponent... The reaction speed and recoil control of a magical girl are beyond the comprehension of normal humans.

　Without understanding "tactics" and "positions," playing similar games certainly won't feel fun.

　Knowing this, Cong Yu sighed, then nodded and took back control of the battle... but it was getting late.

　After finishing this last game, it's about time to go back to my room and sleep.

　"..." Then, in the silence and darkness of the living room, Cong Yu felt something furry approaching...

　Due to some inexplicable situation, his gameplay was affected. Therefore, he was forced to eliminate all the enemy characters.

　Cong Yu looked down and saw a blue-haired head... of course, it had a neck and was connected to a body.

　"..." Lan Tianzhu fell asleep using his lap as a pillow.

　Is this considered a reverse knee pillow?

　With this question in mind, Cong Yu simply reached out and touched the other person's head... It felt quite nice, a different level of better than Yao Chuan's bald head.

　Then, in the next instant, Cong Yu's hand was tightly embraced by Lan Tianzhu.

　"..." Cong Yu was not one to show mercy to women, so he ruthlessly tried to wake her up: "Lan Tianzhu, wake up... go back to your own room to sleep."

　And about this...

　Lan Tianzhu responded with crystal-clear tears and a murmur in her sleep like the lament of a nightingale: "I..."

　"I……"

　"I don't want to die..."

　Chapter 80 My enemy is actually myself?!

　It's hard to imagine that Azuma Nagisa would cry... just as no one can imagine what Cong Yu would look like when she cries.

　However, Cong Yu herself knew that she had also shed tears.

　Therefore, it's not so hard to accept that Lan Tianzhu would shed tears in her dreams.

　However, Lan Tianzhu did not actually fall into a deep sleep.

　Just as Cong Yu was about to wake Yao Chuan Guang, Lan Tian Zhu woke up on his own and then went back to his room with a dazed look on his face.

　The reason for waking up Hikaru Yokawa...

　Since Lan Tianzhu had just finished showering and was wrapped in a towel, it was impossible to just send her to bed like that; she needed to be changed first.

　As for asking Cong Yu to help with the replacement...

　Um, is this appropriate?

　No, absolutely not.

　"..."

　"..." Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang under the bed looked at each other, both of them looking like they wanted to say something but couldn't.

　Then, Cong Yu silently put down her phone and spoke first: "Why don't you go keep Lan Tianzhu company?"

　Yao Chuan Guang was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

　Otherwise, who else could it be but me?

　Cong Yu rolled her eyes and nodded in response, "Yeah, she looks really bad... Why don't you go sleep with her?"

　After Cong Yu made this suggestion, Yao Chuan Guang pondered for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts: "Xiao Lan does seem to need some guidance, but the person who can guide her is obviously not me... because I'm utterly useless!"

　You sound so proud of yourself!

　Should I compliment your clear self-awareness?!

　Cong Yu said irritably.

　"Should!"

　Yaochuan Guang had a look on his face, waiting for praise.

　"hehe."

　Responding with a "hehe" sound, Cong Yu said, "How come you keep making excuses when I ask you to comfort Lan Tianzhu? Is this some kind of fake sisterhood? If you don't go, do you expect me to go?"

　Upon hearing this, Hikaru Yokawa immediately showed an approving look: "That's right, let Murasame-chan comfort Ran's wounded heart!"

　"..."

　"Shut up, you're sleeping in Lan Tianzhu's room tonight!"

　Cong Yu gave the order, then stretched out her leg and kicked Yao Chuan Guang's butt... DuangDuang, it felt great underfoot.

　"Huh? But I don't know how..."

　Before she could finish speaking, Yaochuan Guang was kicked out of the room, clutching her backside... She looked very innocent, because she really didn't...

　They can offer advice and guidance to others.

　She had lived with Xiao Lan for so long, and she had rarely seen Xiao Lan so emo... completely immersed in sadness.

　But then again...

　Even though we've lived together for so long, I've hardly ever heard Xiao Lan talk about her past. All I know is that Xiao Lan came from Central City.

　"But my beanbag chair and... um—"

　Yao Chuanguang hesitated and muttered to herself as she walked to the door of Lan Tianzhu's room. She could hear soft sobs coming from inside.

　That was a mournful cry coming from Lantianzhu.

　Yaochuan Guang is a very empathetic person. She is good at being happy for others' happiness and sad for others' sadness.

　At this moment, every mournful cry from Lan Tianzhu sent a pang of pain through her heart.

　Although I was kicked in the butt and kicked out of the room.

　However, Hikaru realized that she should thank Murasame... otherwise, she wouldn't have realized how deep Azumi Nagisa had sunk to at that moment.

　"Boom boom boom——"

　Yaochuan Guang knocked on Lantian Zhu's door. Hearing the crying inside stop, she announced without further ado, "I'm coming in!"

　She immediately opened the door, turned on the light, and stared at Lan Tianzhu, whose face was streaked with tears.

　"Little Blue, if something's bothering you, just tell us—"

　As Yao Chuan Guang spoke, he plopped down on Lan Tian Zhu's bed and spoke to her as she hurriedly wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, come give me a hug—"

　"..." A smile immediately appeared on Lan Tianzhu's face. She shook her head and responded in a hoarse voice: "No, you don't need to worry about it... Of course, you don't need a hug either."

　However, Hikari Yokawa was not going to give up. She squeezed into Nagisa Aoi's bed and said, "Even if you say you don't need to care about anything... but with you like this, Congyu-chan and I are very worried about you."

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu snuggled together, sincerely asking, "Lan, what's making you sad?"

　"..." Although she wanted to say, "This is my own business, and I'm afraid of implicating you," she couldn't change the subject given Yaochuan Guang's attitude.

　"It's not sadness, it's... fear."

　As Lan Tianzhu spoke, she stopped looking directly at Yao Chuanguang... This child's eyes are just too beautiful.

　The genuine desire to help others contained within it, that passion and will, is truly beautiful.

　In this situation, perhaps only the glittering stars and flowing gold can rival its magnificence.

　"I came to Fengdu... to seek revenge."
