Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Startled, Lan Tianzhu abruptly took a step back...

　But she quickly realized what was happening and stood back in her original position with a blank expression: "It seems to be exactly the same as the nature of the snake man's power."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu realized exactly what the "experiment" the Snake Man had mentioned was like...

　Surprisingly, it allows ordinary people to possess powers similar to those of the Snake Man.

　But why Cong Yu of all people?

　Lan Tianzhu sighed, knowing Cong Yu's past identity and that Cong Yu wanted to stay away from the other side of the world, but it seemed very regrettable.

　In her eyes, Cong Yu was not only forcibly dragged back to the "inner side", but also turned into... a weirdo.

　No, strictly speaking, he shouldn't be called a weirdo before he committed evil deeds.

　However, no one will care about the difference anymore.

　"The world of magical girls is indeed like a whirlpool."

　Lan Tianzhu spoke, her expression still calm, but her eyes were filled with sighs. She sat on the other side of Cong Yu: "In the end, I couldn't protect Cong Yu... and I couldn't protect anyone."

　Cong Yu pondered that this statement was similar to "I can't do anything," and felt that Lan Tianzhu was not far from "the greatest sorrow is a broken heart."

　So, he launched a head-patting attack on Lan Tianzhu, quickly making Lan Tianzhu's hair a complete mess...

　Then, seeing her bewildered expression, Cong Yu comforted her, "No, I feel pretty good right now... which means you've protected me quite well, right?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu looked at Qi Li and her apprentice, who seemed to be deep in thought, and pretended to be meeting them for the first time: "Thank you too."

　Expressing her gratitude, Cong Yu's face revealed a genuine look of lingering fear: "I heard from Lan Tianzhu and Yao Chuanguang that... the spiritual veins of Fengdu were almost taken over."

　Looking at her with gratitude, Magical Girl Sora☆Kiri showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "I just did something insignificant."

　Although it sounds like she's being modest, she really didn't do anything... She can't beat the cockroach monster.

　She wouldn't dare to fight the "King".

　Although he is stronger than Nagisa Azuma and much stronger than Hikaru Yokawa, he is still weak when facing monster leaders or even the Monster King.

　Her "strength" is completely inadequate.

　Even worse, what if that freak king decided, before leaving, to use the exposed spiritual veins to declare himself king on the spot...?

　Then Qili would eagerly and proactively try to unlock the shackles on the spiritual veins.

　After all, the experiences of cities like Norway, Australia, and the North... have undoubtedly proven...

　If a King-level monster wants to become king, it's best not to stop it.

　Even though she temporarily stopped the Monster King's actions through friendship, willpower, and bonds, the Snow Woman had already demonstrated through her actions that—

　The Monster King also has friends.

　……

　The Snow Maiden, who called herself the Queen of the Northern Capital, encountered a minor setback in the Northern Capital and then, in a very uncivil manner, called for reinforcements... Several king-level figures summoned a group of demons.

　They broke through Beidu's defenses directly.

　In this respect, the human forces are truly helpless...

　Fortunately, this eccentric king of Fuuto doesn't seem to have any immediate intention of becoming king.

　This is really great.

　It could be because the other party has some other intentions, or it could be...

　Qili pondered this, looking at the boy named "Congyu" in front of her: "Um, can you sense magic... or something like that?"

　As soon as she asked the question, Qili realized that she was talking nonsense.

　The black magic swirling in Cong Yu's hand was no fake.

　So Qili immediately changed her tune and asked the question that Qili cared about most: "To what extent can you do with your current power?"

　Cong Yu: "What do you mean?"

　In response to Cong Yu's confusion, Qi Li directly condensed her magic power, transforming it into a longsword, which then, amidst the distortion of colors, transformed into a row of cone-shaped missiles: "Just like this, use magic power to shape it into a weapon."

　Cong Yu tried her best to do it, but then shook her head, indicating that she couldn't do it.

　This was not an act.

　Because Cong Yu really couldn't do it; he'd always been the same since he was a child, and he simply didn't know how to do these fancy things.

　"Is that so? It seems your mastery of magic is still lacking... Negative magic, that's not something a naturally awakened 'freak' could possess."

　As she said this, Qili placed her hand on Congyu's hand, feeling the piercing, corrosive sensation: "Then, do you want to try attacking me?"

　"Hmm, try attacking me with all your might using your 'magic power'."

　Cong Yu looked up at Qi Li, who was saying this, and asked, "Full power? A full-power attack?"

　"..." For some reason, Qili's subconscious told her that something was wrong. But she still nodded, suppressing that feeling: "Yes, attack with all your might."

　Although Cong Yu knew that she thought Cong Yu was a newbie who had only recently gained magic power, she still couldn't help but think, "This girl is really bold."

　"Alright, then I'll attack you."

　Cong Yu spoke shyly, and then...

　-

　[Magic Fill 0.00000004%]

　[Activate Manual Control Mode]

　[Concretization type, range type, non-directional, confirmed completion]

　【Calling for the Jormungandr Train】

　-

　The instant Cong Yu finished speaking, a huge and terrifying giant snake flew out from in front of his palm.

　In Qili's and the others' eyes, it was no different from the attack of the previous Monster King...

　Qili: "What?!?!"

　Amidst shocked shouts, Qili was gently thrown into the air... and then landed face down on the ground with her buttocks in the air.

　"Plop!"

　Because of the extremely small amount of magic injected, the giant serpent, which only had a terrifying visual effect, also vanished into thin air like a bubble after flipping over Qili.

　Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.

　Qili, who had just gotten up in a panic, felt terrible... her heart was pounding wildly with fear.

　My heart... I'm about to have a heart attack.

　Chapter 90 The strawberry dumplings were quite delicious

　Good morning! This is Fuuto Radio Station, and this is your neighbor, Sugisaki Hideo, bringing you a refreshing morning greeting.

　[Next up is music time...]

　【---】

　[Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Chan and Magical Girl Shining☆Chan have solved yet another major incident!]

　A bizarre and extremely vicious attack by a strange individual, unseen in many years, occurred at Fuuto High School, leaving an entire student body bedridden.

　Fortunately, thanks to the two magical girls' active performance, no students or teachers were injured or killed, which is truly commendable.

　[Details have been uploaded to the radio station and the official accounts of the two magical girls. Interested listeners should check them out!]

　[Next up is the fan letter segment...]

　"..."

　"Ah, I feel like Yaochuan and Lantian are going to gain another wave of fans..."

　As the muscular, black-suited, sunglasses-wearing agent spoke, he listened to the radio while driving, waiting for the traffic to start moving.

　However, after waiting for a long time without any response, he couldn't help but start complaining again: "Seriously, there are just too many people traveling during Golden Week... Is the wind even bad?"

　Everyone wants to travel?

　It has to be said that, no matter which world you're in, Japan has a lot of holidays...

　After the second week of school, students enjoyed a week-long holiday – including the weekend, of course.

　If you don't count the weekend, it's only five days.

　If you include that, it's a full nine days.

　Although most students at Fuuto High School will likely spend half of these nine days in a coma... it can only be described as extremely tragic.

　The principal of Fuuto High School may have to pay a considerable amount of compensation for this.

　But none of this has anything to do with Cong Yu, Lan Tianzhu, and Yao Chuanguang... It's a rare holiday, time to play to your heart's content!

　That's impossible, of course. (Sad)

　Because something rather outrageous happened to Cong Yu, the three of them are currently in the car of their manager, an older man wearing black sunglasses.

　On their way to the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency.

　In response, Cong Yu casually replied to the man in the black suit: "So-called tourism is just going from a place you're tired of living in to a place someone else is tired of living in."

　"See the scenery that seems novel yet is all the same, see the people that seem novel yet are all the same... take photos and videos, and then go back to where you belong."

　Cong Yu paused for a moment, then, amidst the expression of "Oh, that's going too far" from the man in the black suit, added, "So, the key to travel isn't what you gain, but what you lose..."

　"Leave the troubles of a monotonous life and the pressure of repetitive and boring work to a place where no one recognizes you and where you are destined and unlikely to go back a second time... Use this as psychological support to continue living in the future."

　The man in the black suit was truly impressed by Cong Yu's words. He couldn't help but turn his head in admiration: "Oh, oh, oh, no wonder she's an artist, she speaks so elegantly..."

　Although Cong Yu was somewhat ashamed to be called an "artist" on the face of someone who draws cute and silly comics, he still nodded in acknowledgment.

　Just like a failed online novelist who is happy to pat himself on the back and call himself a literary worker.

　"Huh? That sounds good..."

　As Yao Chuan Guang said this, he couldn't help but ask the man in the black suit, "So, manager, when are you going to take us on a trip?"

　The man in the black suit, looking exhausted, replied helplessly, "I'm very busy with work."

　He politely declined, then seemed to realize something and reminded her, "Actually, you should too, so it's best not to leave Fengdu casually... at least make sure one of you stays in Fengdu."

　Although the residents of Fuuto are known for their simple and honest nature, if a strange attack were to occur, the fact that the two of them haven't shown up for so long is not good for the agency's image.

　"I see... Well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

　Yaochuan Guang looked somewhat disappointed, then asked more specifically about the purpose of the trip: "This time, they said Congyu-chan is going to take a test, what kind of test is it?"

　In response to Yao Chuanguang's question, the man in the black suit paused for a moment before answering: "First, we need to check his body to see if he has any hidden injuries... Second, we need to test Cong Yu's mental health to prevent him from developing psychological trauma from being a victim; and finally, we need to assess his combat capabilities."

　Yao Chuanguang nodded in understanding.

　Lan Tian closed his eyes in response, indicating his disdain.

　Cong Yu smiled at this, finding it amusing: "So that's how it is? I thought the purpose was the opposite..."

　The main purpose is to determine his combat strength, in order to ascertain whether he has the potential to become a "Monster King" level fighter.

　Secondly, we need to determine his background to prevent him from using his outrageous fighting abilities to do whatever he wants... Of course, we will also conduct a psychological profile of him.

　To prevent him from undergoing a transformation from Superman to Homelander.

　Finally, and most importantly, is determining whether he suffered any long-term effects from the "experiment" or "modification".

　The man in the black suit had no way to refute Cong Yu's words.

　Fortunately, the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency had already arrived. He simply parked the car on the side of the road and asked the three of them to get out.

　Cong Yu looked at the building in front of her.

　From the outside, the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency looks quite impressive, with its tall buildings and glass curtain walls giving it a stylish and modern appearance.

　The marble arcade has few fancy decorations, only the words "Fūto Magical Girl Agency" are written in gold foil, simple and elegant with a sense of practicality.

　Cong Yu, Yao Chuan Guang, and Lan Tian Zhu had actually been to this area before. However, they were filming a promotional video at the recording studio behind the building.

　This was the first time Cong Yu had ever entered through the main gate like this.

　As soon as the four entered, a smartly dressed woman approached them, looking at Cong Yu and saying, "Hello, Mr. Cong Yu, please come this way. The test will be over soon... Can your friend wait nearby?"
