Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"Hmph, you just don't understand."

　The girl immediately said this, then said something that sounded very familiar to Qili: "Using the term 'weirdo' could easily mislead you about the actual difference in strength, right?"

　"That was a natural disaster!"

　"We are able to fight against ordinary weirdos and monsters, and even leaders of cadres or groups, and win the battle."

　"But what about natural disasters that roam the earth?"

　The girl looked indignant and pointed at the people around her: "This is a gift from the Monster King. If he finds out that we didn't get to eat it and it was taken away, can you bear the responsibility?!"

　Oh, this...

　Everyone agreed that what the girl said made some sense.

　Then, in the next instant, a beautiful, heavy punch landed on the girl's head with a dull thud: "Thump!!!"

　The punch was so powerful that it almost knocked her down.

　"Teacher... violently opposes it!"

　"Objection overruled! Everything you said was just what I told you! You're quite adept at applying what you've learned, aren't you?"

　Qili said ruthlessly, then gave her apprentice two more sharp raps on the head: "Just for a piece of cake, who are you trying to impress with all this fuss?!"

　It seems to have been discovered.

　"However, I also don't think it's necessary to collect all these cakes."

　. "

　As she spoke, Qili simply unfolded the cake box that the girl had finished eating, revealing the words written on it.

　"Echo Maid COF, No. 1006, Red Heart Commercial Street, now supports telephone delivery service, delivery fee is 80 yuan".

　"There's no need to study the cake's ingredients, nor to determine its masterpiece based on the techniques used in its preparation, or to consider the likes and dislikes of the Monster King."

　As Qili said this, she knew what Renren, who had given the order to "collect it and study it," was thinking: "Clearly, the Monster King is significantly different from the 'King' you've imagined."

　These guys must have mistaken the King of Monsters in Fuuto for the King of Monsters from the British Isles.

　But it's a pity...

　The King of the Wind City doesn't seem to be the kind of king who gives off a very noble feeling, and whose cakes require an elegant and masterful approach to eating.

　The same goes for this cake...

　"Isn't this the most straightforward explanation?"

　As Qili spoke, she spoke into the researchers' headsets: "The Monster King just randomly found a place in Fuuto that sells cakes and expressed his goodwill with a gift box... that's all."

　"..."

　"Is that so? Then let's do it your way..."

　A man's voice came through the loudspeaker, "After all, you've had more contact with that king... so how about we redistribute the cake?"

　Qi Li raised an eyebrow at this, looking at the surveillance camera with a half-smile: "Suit yourself, but are you going to get involved too?"

　In response to Qili's question, the voice from the loudspeaker sounded helpless: "This matter has blown up too much... This is the first time in all these years that a strange person has appeared at headquarters."

　It's not actually the first time, though.

　After all, the Magical Girl Headquarters used to be located in Hokuto...

　So to be precise, it was the first time at the new address after the Magical Girl Headquarters was re-established after many stumbles.

　"That's not a weirdo... It's perfectly reasonable for a natural disaster to walk on the ground and smash into any place at will."

　Qili repeated similar words, her hands in her pockets: "And next... we'll wait for news from the Cabinet."

　Although those spineless girls would probably immediately raise both hands and wholeheartedly agree after seeing the joint petition from the Magical Girl Association...

　With this in mind, Qili scooped out a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

　He immediately closed his eyes with a blissful expression.

　After that feeling, she could use that "King's" influence to her advantage and roam freely within the Magical Girl Association.

　So cool!

　Chapter 11 Cake Procurement

　"Here you go, these are the cake gift boxes you requested."

　As Nagashima Riko spoke, she looked curiously at Murakumo, who was being placed into the wall from a cake gift box: "Excuse me, are all these cakes for yourself? Or are they for the magical girl you live with?"

　As she spoke, Nagashima Koki nodded in agreement: "Handsome brother, be careful of cavities after eating so much cake."

　In response, Cong Yu patted the little girl's head.

　I feel like I touched heads so many times today... I touched Yaochuan Guang's head this morning, and I also touched Xiao Cui's head.

　Now he's touching Nagashima Koki's head again...

　I feel like I'm about to become a head-patting weirdo.

　Damn... this is so weird.

　Cong Yu smiled inwardly, then responded to the mother and daughter, "It's a gift... I've found that giving a cake is much better than giving flowers."

　At least it won't cause any misunderstandings.

　After all, many people don't understand the meaning of hyacinths and might interpret sending flowers as a declaration of love... which would be quite inappropriate.

　Besides, flowers are too expensive, while cakes are cheap.

　"How much? I'll pay by card."

　When Cong Yu took out the card, Nagashima Riko shook her head and refused, saying, "I can't accept it. You've helped my daughter and me so much, and you even saved my life before."

　"Yasuji Nagashima still owes you money, doesn't he?"

　"Moreover, from the perspective of the cake itself, the cost of a cake is actually very low; the rent and the maid's salary are the main expenses."

　"..." Cong Yu didn't really understand the intricacies of running a coffee shop, and he didn't really like refusing each other's offers, so he nodded and took the card back.

　"Okay, next time I ask you for a cake, please don't refuse me with similar words... otherwise I won't feel at ease taking it."

　Nagashima Riko nodded with a smile at Cong Yu's words.

　Of course, Cong Yu had no idea what she was thinking.

　After Cong Yu finished serving the cake, Nagashima Riko led him to a private room on the second floor and placed several pieces of cake on the table.

　Then, while boiling water to make coffee, Riko Nagashima looked hesitant and said, "Um... I've been thinking about it..."

　As she said this, when Cong Yu looked over, she asked, "I want to join the weirdo organization, how do I do that?"

　Although Echo Maid COF is doing well, she is now a single mother, and Xiaoxi has many expenses.

　Despite the excellent benefits offered by the eccentric group, she decided to join after considering it for the past few days.

　With Cong Yu around, she felt at ease.

　"Have you decided? Then you can go to the website."

　Submit your resume... and then go for the interview at Liangliang Pharmacy on Sunday.

　Cong Yu said this in a very calm and casual manner: "However, the Eccentric Group has always been short of people, so it's a sure thing that I'll be hired."

　"..."

　"Eh? Just two medicines..."

　Riko Nagashima had heard of this place name... The Liangliang Medical Building was considered quite tall in Fengdu.

　Could it be that Liangliang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is also collaborating with the weirdo?

　To address Riko Nagashima's confusion, Cong Yu simply explained: "The implied meaning of 'two' is 22, which is the shell company founded by the 22nd Group, where I work."

　"The basement of Liangliang Pharmaceuticals' building is where the group's headquarters are located, while the above-ground portion is basically being used as a warehouse."

　Upon hearing this, Nagashima Koki's eyes immediately lit up.

　In the past, her mother would sometimes pass by Liangliang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. on her way to school, but she never made the connection to this...

　It turns out that underground was the headquarters of a group of eccentric people!

　It perfectly matches her imagination of a secret organization!

　"..." Cong Yu glanced at her, roughly knowing what she was thinking, and then looked at Nagashima Riko: "I won't take you, Mrs. Nagashima... Otherwise, it would be too obvious to take care of you, and you probably wouldn't like that."

　Riko Nagashima isn't the type to expect preferential treatment because of her relationship with Murasame, so she can accept this...

　Even better this way.

　With that in mind, Riko Nagashima gently poured the coffee, then took the latte art needle and created a beautiful latte art on Murasaki's coffee.

　Although Cong Yu herself didn't really care about this.

　"I have some influence within the group."

　Cong Yu made a "just a little bit" gesture with her hand, took a bite of the small cake, then looked at Nagashima Koki, picked up a fork and fed her a big bite as well.

　Watching Nagashima Koki chewing like a hamster with her mouth puffed out, he smiled and said, "The photo of us together before... a lot of people in the company should have seen it and know that we have a good relationship."

　"So your treatment is still guaranteed... but I can't make it too obvious, and I hope you won't go around telling everyone."

　As Cong Yu said this, he looked at Nagashima Riko, who nodded to indicate that she understood, and reached out to pat her head.

　He was worried that if he personally brought Riko Nagashima to the company, it might make things difficult for his colleagues who were responsible for assigning her work and paying her salary.

　It seems there's no need to worry about that now.

　"Then I'll take my leave now..."

　As Cong Yu said this, he stood up and added, "When the group asks what kind of work you want to participate in, just say that you currently run a coffee shop and can provide several private rooms as a base."

　"In that case, it shouldn't affect your current life too much, and the treatment won't be bad either."

　"As for other benefits, does it mean becoming an eccentric, achieving 'eternal youth' from now on, or 'returning to youth'?"

　"Or perhaps you could 'rejuvenate' after you've grown old... It's up to you, my dear wife, to decide."

　"The group has a lot of freedom in this regard."

　After saying that, Cong Yu left the coffee shop...

　Speaking of which, next week is Rabbit Man's birthday, so it's about time to prepare a happy birthday card and send him a gift.

　-

　"..."

　"Eternal youth? Rejuvenation?"

　Riko Nagashima murmured to herself, she didn't quite understand, but she was deeply shocked: "The weirdo group... can they even do this?"

　May youth last forever.

　It's enough to drive countless women and even men crazy.

　The phrase "rejuvenation" is something that countless elderly people who still want to live are passionately pursuing.

　Those who are rich and powerful.

　They'd probably all try their best to get in touch with the group of weirdos, right?

　In that instant, Riko Nagashima understood something... As an adult, she sometimes had this kind of intuition.

　She didn't quite understand the current situation of magical girls and monsters.

　They didn't even bother to learn about it.

　But she guessed...

　Magical girls might not be able to defeat monsters.

　……

　Interestingly, she guessed correctly.
