Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　In response to Cong Yu's words, the man in the black suit sitting to the side watching the three of them eat gave a bitter smile: "I've been drinking too much alcohol lately, and my stomach isn't feeling well... The doctor advised me to only drink porridge and soup these days."

　That sounds pretty serious...it's probably close to the level of a stomach hemorrhage.

　Cong Yu nodded, wisely skipping the "I'm eating" stage, and began to enjoy his plate of fried noodles: "You've really worked hard... but the work of a manager..."

　"Is such frequent socializing necessary?"

　The man in the black suit said, "Ah, Cong Yu, you've misunderstood... I wanted to drink it myself, it has nothing to do with social obligations."

　Then you brought it on yourself!

　Thinking this, Cong Yu rolled her eyes and threw aside her pity: "He brought it on himself."

　The man in the black suit couldn't refute this point. He sighed and shook his head, about to say something, when he was interrupted by someone who spoke up next to him.

　"So you were here... treating everyone to fried noodles?"

　The woman speaking was wearing an elegant women's suit and had delicate features, reminiscent of a career woman.

　With a faint smile, she appeared intellectual and approachable as she spoke to her muscular manager in a black suit and sunglasses: "I need your help with something. If it's convenient... would you like to grab something to eat together?"

　Hearing her words, the man in the black suit blinked, then briefly introduced her to Cong Yu and the others: "This is my colleague, the manager of the Fengsha Village Magical Girl Squad."

　Afterwards, the man in the black suit chatted with the female agent for a bit before leaving the restaurant... It seemed like the three of them would be taking a taxi home later.

　"That agent looks very young."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, looking at the enthusiastic smile on the face of the man in the black suit, she silently complained, "Our manager is smiling so happily."

　Haha, how come you even rhymed?

　From Cong Yu's smile, Yao Chuan Guang clearly recognized the person: "Oh, that's the manager's girlfriend... I heard she was the one who pursued the manager first."

　What?! Is that true?!

　Cong Yu was somewhat surprised. While eating curry, he looked at the black-suited man and the female agent chatting and laughing, and felt that appearances can be deceiving.

　Of course, this doesn't mean that an agent in a black suit could actually be chosen.

　After all, he looks quite handsome in the black suit, with impressive muscles, and he definitely has the look of a handsome middle-aged man... He must have been a heartthrob when he was young.

　However, Cong Yu still thought that, judging from the age and weathered appearance of the agent in the black suit, he must be someone who had been married for many years.

　It's almost to the point of being her third divorce...

　So, it turns out they've only just started dating?

　Judging from the way his expression was so radiant, it was as if he was experiencing the sweetness of love for the first time... You can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a book by its cover.

　"Congyu-chan, what are you thinking about?"

　Having finished her fried noodles, Yaochuan Guang waited for the two to finish eating. Noticing Cong Yu's wistful expression, she couldn't help but ask him this question.

　"It's nothing, I was just wondering if this was my manager's first love."

　Cong Yu said this while keeping her head down and eating fried noodles: "And he's over forty years old, yet he's still not married."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Finally, Lan Tianzhu was the first to make a "pfft" sound. But he didn't say anything, instead eating his fried noodles and drinking his fruit tea.

　Only Yaochuan Guang told Cong Yu a shocking fact: "That should be the manager's first love, but..."

　"Maybe the agent is a bit unkempt... Actually, he's only in his twenties, not much older than us."

　Seeing Yaochuan Guang's equally astonished expression, Congyu was shocked.

　This time, there was no acting involved; it was genuine shock.

　Even to the well-informed Cong Yu, this truth was already bizarre enough... Only in his twenties?

　Cong Yu recalled the stubble on her manager's chin, his weathered appearance, his unkempt hair, and his deep eyes...

　Is this guy even in his twenties?!

　Chapter Ninety-Three: Young Man—

　The female agent, dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, was having lunch at a health-focused porridge restaurant. Upon entering, the first impression of the woman in the black suit was quite good…

　The decor is quite simple, with tables and chairs neatly arranged, giving it a fresh feel.

　A painting hangs on the wall, depicting goji berries, lotus seeds, red dates, and the like, giving one a feeling of being nourished just by looking at it.

　"I heard you've been having an upset stomach lately. Luckily, I found this restaurant that specializes in nourishing porridge. Let me take you to try it."

　The female agent said, while Yao Chuanguang's agent in a black suit smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for your concern."

　In response to the man in the black suit, the young-looking female agent smiled and said, "We're already boyfriend and girlfriend, there's no need to be so formal."

　"Uh-huh."

　"..." Although they are boyfriend and girlfriend, in the eyes of passersby... it probably looks like a father taking his daughter out to eat.

　And they clearly wouldn't realize it no matter how hard they tried.

　In reality, the "father" they see is only in his early twenties, not the forty-something he looks like, and the "daughter" they see is actually...

　She is already over thirty years old.

　This couple, who appear to be twenty years apart in age but are actually ten years apart (though in opposite directions), are quite famous in the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency.

　"Last week, that bald director threw a tantrum in the meeting, saying things like, 'What do you think agents do?'"

　"Chief Hashizume? I feel like he's always been that kind of person."

　That's what I mean.

　...But we'll never see him again.

　The two chatted while eating their nourishing porridge, when the female agent's words startled the man in the black suit: "You killed the director?"

　The female agent rolled her eyes at him at the mention of the black suit: "How could that be... He was in a meeting when the association's review team burst in and arrested him."

　"We later learned that Hashizume had been arrested and imprisoned for sexually harassing his magical girl trainees."

　The female agent, her face full of disgust, said in a tone of utter loathing, "I really want to slap him twice and give him a piece of his mind for all his high-sounding words... What does that guy take the job of an agent for?"

　The man in the black suit frowned. He had had quite a few interactions with Director Hashizume and found him to be a difficult person to get along with.

　I never expected they would do something like this...

　"It's really too much."

　"That is to say..."

　As they ate, the two complained about the terrible state of the industry... Magical girls are becoming less and less valuable.

　The increasing number of magical girls has led to more and more self-important girls becoming magical girl trainees.

　Then came repeated attempts to officially debut, only to be thwarted time and time again...

　In this situation, it would be perfectly reasonable to say things like, "I'll make you famous, all you need to do is show some 'sincerity'."

　"I really hope the industry can be more standardized... at least add an educational requirement for magical girls."

　The man in the black suit, who was complaining like that, laughed at himself right after he finished speaking...

　After all, he currently has two magical girls under his command. One of them had dropped out of school for a long time and only recently returned to school, while the other had never attended school at all.

　Many magical girls are in similar situations to Hikaru Yokawa and Nagisa Azuma.

　Therefore, things like "adding an educational requirement" are hard for anyone, not only the industry but even he himself would find difficult to accept.

　"Magical girls are out of the question... We really need to add more routine checks within our management team, but that's probably difficult to implement anyway."

　The female agent sighed as she said this, and then got down to business: "I came to you this time because I want to ask for your help."

　"Well, you said."

　The female agent cleared her throat and briefly explained her predicament: "I want to borrow someone from you to protect Fengsha Village..."

　Fengsha Village is the village that the female agent is in charge of... If we're not being too strict about it, then that's a fair way to put it.

　Although a black suit can't exactly be considered "responsible," it's still a stylish look.

　After all, it's just the magical girls under their command who are responsible for protecting Fuuto... and they're only responsible for the regular monster attacks.

　However, generally speaking, magical girl squads do not "borrow" members from each other.

　Because that makes it difficult to calculate salary and merits on a resume.

　So what happened?

　"My magical girl squad has three members."

　The female agent looked somewhat helpless, and she sighed clearly: "This number of people should be enough to protect a village, and we can just keep rotating them... That's how I've always done it."

　Common sense dictates that after "Logically speaking," one should follow with "However"...

　The man in the black suit was thinking this.

　"but……"

　Sure enough, the female manager said this with a speechless expression: "Two of my magical girls took leave because of their relationships, and another one had to go back to her hometown because her parents were injured in an accident... So for the next three or four days, Fengsha Village was left unguarded."

　So, she really has terrible luck...

　The man in the black suit sighed slightly and asked, "So, you're looking to borrow someone from me? Need to take time off for a date... um—"

　To be honest, the black suit is a bit hard to judge.

　The magical girl whose parents died in an accident is another story, but to have two magical girls under her command simultaneously in love... there should be a limit to bad luck.

　With that in mind, the man in the black suit smiled and said, "I'll ask for their opinions and then give you an answer..."

　Then, he joked, "Your two magical girls aren't dating the same person, are they?"

　Upon hearing the man in the black suit, the female manager paused for a moment, then repeated, "No, it's 'two magical girls falling in love'..."

　Yes, that's what she said before.

　That's why it's said that the chances of two magical girls falling in love at the same time are very...

　"……"etc……

　The man in the black suit seemed to realize something, and his expression turned slightly embarrassed: "Wait a minute, you're not talking about... those two magical girls being in love with each other, are you?"

　Female agent: Nods.

　Black suit: "!!!"

　Although homosexuality is no longer a big deal in this era, the man in the black suit is a pure heterosexual.

　Upon suddenly hearing his girlfriend say that, he broke out in goosebumps all over his body, and cold sweat poured down his back!

　At that very moment, a powerful melody suddenly rang out in the restaurant, seemingly a very old song!

　"Quack, I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"

　Chapter Ninety-Four: The Price of a Bad Mouth

　About

　For followers of the official account of 【Wind City Squad】, the days have been getting more and more hopeful lately.

　Whether you're a fan of [Magical Girl Shining☆-chan], a newly captivated fan of [Magical Girl Blue Sky☆-chan], or simply a fan of the group...

　I really like the current update frequency of the official Twitter and official YouTube channels.

　While I wouldn't call myself diligent, it's much better than the previous six months when I barely uttered a single word, and most of what I did post was advertising.

　Of course, most casual observers are unaware that the ownership and operation rights of these accounts have now been transferred from the agency to the magical girls themselves.

　They were also clearly unaware that these accounts were currently being used entirely by Cong Yu.

　All they knew was that the account had been updated again!
