Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Lan Tianzhu spoke softly, her voice already filled with confusion: "That's the monster codenamed 'Snake Man,' an invincible monster."

　"With just a flick of the finger, one can devour others... With the flow of magic, one can turn those one knows into puppets."

　"That is an existence we cannot match."

　“I heard that he/she was heading to Fuuto, so I came here to seek revenge... I thought I had enough courage.”

　Lan Tianzhu's face could no longer remain calm; instead, it was visibly bitter: "Last night, when I saw that strange man with snakes on his arms... I was almost too scared to move."

　"But then, I immediately got angry because I admitted my mistake...like a cat with its fur standing on end to make itself look bigger."

　"I realized that if I really encountered the 'Snake Man,' I might not dare to seek revenge."

　Yaochuan Guang perfectly played the role of listener to Lantian Zhu's words, listening quietly and empathizing with the contradictions.

　He has an enemy he wants revenge against.

　But whether rationally or emotionally, I told myself a cruel truth—that was someone I couldn't defeat.

　At that time, did "revenge" and "suicide" really still have any meaning?

　"I became a magical girl because I have a senior magical girl I admire... She is my savior."

　"But on that day, we all saw it with our own eyes."

　"The entire 'Purger Squad' was thrown into disarray by the flying giant snakes, and then my revered predecessor... was devoured on the spot, leaving no trace of his body."

　"Xiaoguang... what should I do?"

　Lan Tianzhu asked softly.

　"..." Yaochuan Guang wished he were a quick-witted and intelligent person, so he would know what to say at this moment.

　But unfortunately, she isn't.

　So she could only answer honestly.

　"I don't know, but if she's going to die anyway, then Xiao Lan really shouldn't have tried to take revenge..."

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, she hugged Lantian Zhu tightly, feeling the resentment emanating from her companion: "I don't understand revenge."

　"However, if Xiao Lan dies, Cong Yu-chan and I will be very sad... At that time, we might be able to understand your hatred, Xiao Lan."

　"I might be selfish... It doesn't matter if Xiao Lan is haunted by hatred for the rest of her life, since it's not me who's being haunted."

　As he said this, Hikaru buried his head in Nagisa Aohara's hair: "No matter what, I don't want you to die."

　"..." In the silence, the two girls embraced, their hearts intertwined.

　With their hearts close together, they poured out their thoughts to each other...

　This is really a pretty good scene.

　"yes……"

　Standing at the door, Cong Yu said this, looking at the two magical girls who were clearly "startled," and gave them advice: "If you are hesitant about revenge... then it is best not to seek revenge."

　Just like a gun held in one's hand...

　"If you are confused, then do not strike."

　Chapter 81, Preparing to Clear My Name!

　Do you know Lan Tianzhu?

　"..." Kou Nijishita, the second-year health teacher at Fuuto High School, had many guesses about the purpose of Cong Yu's arrival...

　For example, they learned new information about Group 21 and the mysterious group of oddballs.

　For example, something might happen to the group.

　For example, simply coming to catch up...

　However, "Hong" really didn't expect that the first question Cong Yu asked was... asking a woman's name.

　He even asked himself if he knew the person.

　What is this, an insult?

　Or has it reached the point where you should address each other as sisters and stop arguing?

　While Hong was lost in thought, Cong Yu had already discerned something from her expression and silently nodded: "Looks like you don't recognize her..."

　As Cong Yu spoke these words, and Hong watched him sit upright at the table in the health room, she felt that he was more like a teacher than she was.

　This is normal, though, because her identity as a healthcare professional is fake.

　Because the principal of Fuuto High School was a member of the 22nd Group, she easily obtained an identity, just like Cong Yu when she enrolled.

　Those in positions of authority throughout Fengdu, regardless of their specific rank, whether they are the principal or the organizer of an organization.

　Only a minority have absolutely no connection with the 22nd Group.

　The entire city of Fengdu, both openly and covertly, is now filled with "spies" of the 22nd Group, or to be even more specific...

　Many of them were recruited or introduced by Cong Yu.

　This also includes the Yuan'an family, which is currently the group's largest financial backer. The cooperation between the current head of the family and the group was facilitated by Cong Yu.

　To put it strangely, this guy is a real social butterfly.

　"So, who exactly is Lan Tianzhu?"

　Hong asked with some curiosity, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Cong Yu: "A new generation replaces the old, Cong Yu... But why do you think I know him?"

　It's like a godfather's world, a new generation replacing the old.

　"My current identity is that of a magical girl I live with."

　Cong Yu summarized it simply, explaining the situation in a few words: "I discovered that she harbors an extraordinary hatred for me, as an oddball."

　“Hong, you know me… I’ve done a lot of bad and evil things, but I did them all openly and honestly, and I’ve always been clean in my ways. There shouldn’t be anyone who harbors such deep-seated hatred towards me.”

　"So I asked around last night, and guess what..."

　Cong Yu, looking at Hong helplessly, said, "She witnessed the scene of me capturing you back then... She's your fan."

　"..."

　"My 'fans'?"

　Hong repeated Cong Yu's words, utterly bewildered, then fell into deep confusion: "Are you sure it's a fan, and not an enemy or something?"

　As she said this, Hong found the matter somewhat unbelievable: "The Purifier squad I used to be in... was specifically for hunting down other humans and magical girls, right?"

　Just as Hong said, the so-called "Purgers Squad" is a killing force belonging to the Central City Government.

　They do not participate in the fight against the monster.

　Instead, she specializes in covert murders and attacks on other magical girls... making her quite hated.

　The targets to be killed include, but are not limited to: the eccentric's partner, the parents of the magical girl who betrayed him, the leader's political enemies, and innocent bystanders who are the object of his wishes.

　In this situation, Cong Yu's mention of "your fans" made her suspect that Cong Yu was joking or being sarcastic.

　But actually, no.

　"I don't know about that, but she said... she became a magical girl because she admires you, maybe you saved her sometime by chance."

　As Cong Yu said this, she gestured for Hong to recall: "Think carefully, on the day I captured you, were there any blue-haired magical girls watching?"

　"..."

　"Even if you let me think about it carefully..."

　Hong frowned, trying to find something in her memories, but to no avail: "Back then, I was a monster without blood or tears."

　The only thing that fills the life of [Magical Girl☆Crimson] is cold-blooded killing... and the confusion that killing brings.

　Confusion, guilt... reflections destined to remain unanswered.

　Even so, a biased "justice" is still justice, and perhaps he did indeed save a girl.

　However, the current Hong is naturally unable to recall those times.

　In the end, Hong could only shake her head helplessly, indicating that she couldn't help Cong Yu in this regard.

　"It's okay, I was just asking casually."

　As he said this, Cong Yu rested his chin on his hand... He tentatively assumed that Lan Tianzhu knew he was a weirdo.

　However, he clearly did not know that he was her enemy.

　Not

　If that were the case, her attitude would make her seem somewhat schizophrenic.

　No...that's not right.

　Cong Yu suddenly realized something.

　Lan Tianzhu's usual behavior and work patterns gradually connected in his mind... It seemed that things were not quite what he thought.

　As mentioned before, Cong Yu doesn't consider himself a genius. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own "cleverness."

　If Lan Tianzhu thought he was a weirdo, then he wouldn't have remained completely silent all the time... because of hatred.

　Her hatred for a certain weirdo (who is actually herself) will inevitably lead her to ask other weirdos she can communicate with for relevant information.

　This is the biggest contradiction.

　"..." In other words, Lan Tianzhu did not actually think Cong Yu was a weirdo.

　You might think he's an agent from an agency, or an analyst for a small team... but you don't know he's an oddball.

　From this perspective, the previous conversations also make sense.

　"Then, perhaps that's feasible."

　Cong Yu's mutterings made Hong look up curiously: "Feasible? Cong Yu, what do you mean by feasible?"

　In response, Cong Yu simply replied, "Tomorrow is the sports meet. The strange person from the 21st Group or that mysterious group will make their move tomorrow..."

　“The magical girl named Sora☆Kirei, who comes from the Magical Girl Headquarters, will also take action. You can decide what to do based on the situation… or simply maintain your disguise.”

　After saying this, Cong Yu began to explain the plan related to "feasibility": "Do you know the concept of 'whitewashing'?"

　Hong was naturally aware of this, but...

　"You washed yourself clean?!"

　No wonder Kurenai was so surprised... Murasame's status in the monster world is like that of the fourth leader in the monster world, or like that of the Tendou Oga in the strong world!

　"What I need to clear my name isn't my eccentric identity...maybe I can infiltrate the magical girl headquarters."

　As he said this, Cong Yu couldn't help but smile. He reached out and condensed a wisp of dark magic: "Red... I'm asking you."

　"If the evil monster 'Snake Man' kidnapped an innocent boy and transformed him into a monster with similar abilities..."

　Is this kind of script reasonable?

　"..." Red: Playing tactics is really dirty.

　Chapter 82 Sleeping Together!

　"Xiao Lan, our school is having its sports meet tomorrow, do you want to come?"

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's enthusiastic question, Lantian Zhu, who was lying next to her, turned over and looked in her direction: "Will you play?"

　Yao Chuanguang will compete in the women's 1000-meter event.

　This distance was naturally no problem for Yaochuan Guang, who possessed terrifying physical abilities.

　"Of course, Xiao Lan, just wait and see how I perform!"

　"Then I'm not interested."

　Yao Chuanguang: "???"

　You lost interest as soon as you heard I was going to play? Little Blue, are you even human?

　"But I'm bored tomorrow anyway, so I'll go check it out..."

　As Lan Tianzhu added this to the stunned Yao Chuan Guang, his eyes were filled with obvious amusement...

　Clearly, she was saying this to prank Yaochuan Guang.

　And Yaochuan Guang always believed it to be true...
