Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"..." Very good, it seems the doctor has a solution.

　Cong Yu felt relieved and decided to take the day off to go to Kyoto... but for some reason, he felt that something was wrong.

　Why is it that none of the people he knows use conditioner or similar products?

　Leaving aside children like doctors and high school magical girls like Hikari Yokawa, even Kurenai doesn't need to...

　what……

　I wonder if Mrs. Nagashima will use it.

　If even a widow like her isn't used...

　The skincare industry in this world may be entering a downturn.

　Chapter 119 Kyoto

　"ある日にそれは (It was on a certain day)"

　"Something happened to me (something happened suddenly)"

　"Hajime no Toilet Paper (The cause of the incident was a letter)"

　"..." Cong Yu, wearing a mask, hummed a song with lyrics that were somewhat indistinct but still legible, as she strolled along a street adorned with lanterns.

　Kyoto felt the same as always to him.

　Many mountains, many temples.

　The streets are full of izakayas... especially izakayas, the number of which is beyond imagination, there is one almost every few steps.

　Is the competition really not too fierce?

　With her hands in her pockets, Cong Yu wandered aimlessly, a stark contrast to the weary faces of the people around her as they went in and out of shops and izakayas.

　Casual, free, casual...

　Wearing a mask and with long, tied-up hair that has a distinctly Kyoto feel, she looks just like an Onmyoji from a manga.

　Unfortunately, Cong Yu was actually the one who was to be "defeated".

　During the period of Hokuto, Kyoto was called...Kyoto.

　That's right, unlike Fengdu and Shuidu, because its original name format was also Xdu, it wasn't renamed to differentiate itself from Beidu.

　Of course, there's no need for Kyoto to change its name.

　"boom!!!"

　Then, a loud noise suddenly came from an izakaya next door, as if the floor and the building had been smashed through.

　"Run!"

　"Here we go again..."

　"Ugh!! It's this place again! This has happened countless times this week. My luck is absolutely terrible!"

　Amidst the commotion, several men in suits reeking of alcohol, and countless women working in the izakaya, fled from inside.

　Then, a monster from the Oni clan wielding a giant spiked club, carrying the izakaya owner whose face was covered in blood, threw him onto the street.

　Similarly, this demon was also reeking of alcohol.

　"Hahaha, this great one...this one..."

　Laughing loudly, before he could say anything, the strange demon collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep.

　The passersby all seemed to have gotten used to it.

　Passersby bypassed the ghost lying on the ground, while the customers who had been forced out reluctantly headed to other izakayas.

　That's it...

　As for magical girls?

　This is Kyoto, after all. When monsters attack, it's better to rely on a monster with a strong sense of justice to uphold justice than on a magical girl.

　There is no place for magical girls to live here.

　"..." Cong Yu sighed helplessly, and under the indifferent and calm gazes of the people around her, she stepped forward and kicked the male demon with small horns on his head.

　"Hey, wake up."

　Ghost Clan: "Ha-ha...hoo—"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　This guy is sleeping like a log.

　Without a word, Cong Yu grabbed the small horn on the demon's head with one hand, then dragged him along, dragging him along like a lump of mud.

　People on the roadside began to make way for Cong Yu.

　Although they didn't find any strange characteristics in Cong Yu, they still considered him a strange person for the time being.

　Normal people wouldn't go out wearing a mask.

　Since it's not a demon, it probably doesn't come from Mount Ōe, so it's likely a strange person from Tamamo-no-Miya.

　In any case, these two eccentric districts located in Kyoto don't have any connection with ordinary people.

　Just pretend you didn't see it.

　Even if they were caught in the crossfire or attacked by strange people, they could only accept their bad luck... but everyone felt that their luck shouldn't be that bad.

　"Uh... cough cough cough..."

　The demon being dragged along by Cong Yu woke up amidst the jolting. Realizing his situation, he immediately broke free from Cong Yu's grasp.

　He rolled over and stood up, immediately showing a wary expression as he looked at Cong Yu: "Dude, who are you?!"

　If someone can drag me along the road, they're probably not an ordinary human being.

　“I am Shuten’s friend. I came to Kyoto to see her. I felt embarrassed that you were lying by the roadside, so I planned to drag you back to Mount Oe.”

　Cong Yu briefly explained the general situation.

　The demon's expression immediately turned awkward: "Ah, this... is the boss's friend..."

　Completely believing Cong Yu's words, the ghost immediately coughed twice: "I have a high alcohol tolerance, I just wasn't paying attention for a moment..."

　"Should I not return to Mount Ooe for the time being?"

　Cong Yu was curious about their relationship with Shuten-dōji: "Would Shuten-dōji yell at you if you collapsed on the roadside?"

　Cong Yu's questioning voice made the demon's steps slow down: "Because I smashed up the shop... I might get beaten up and put in solitary confinement."

　He said this with a somewhat awkward expression.

　"However, I guess I can't avoid getting beaten up. Can I go back later, at least until the old man calms down a bit, so he can go easy on me?"

　"..." Cong Yu didn't seem to have any intention of dragging the other party back to face punishment, and nodded.

　After nodding, he watched as the other person ran away as if granted a pardon.

　It seems that the environment in Kyoto is better than he had imagined.

　If an oddball under your command makes a mistake, he will be beaten or imprisoned.

　Although there may be no strict rules or regulations, the severity of the punishment depends entirely on the mood of Shuten-dōji and her subordinates.

　Therefore, magical girls are indeed unnecessary...

　With these thoughts in mind, Cong Yu suddenly felt a tap on his left shoulder. He quickly turned his head to the left and looked behind him.

　But there was nothing there.

　Then, feeling a pat on her right shoulder, Cong Yu looked to her right rear and saw Shuten-dōji grinning mischievously.

　"You are so childish."

　Ignoring her comment, Cong Yu continued walking: "You just show up like this so openly? It's very conspicuous..."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, Shuten pointed at Cong Yu's face and said, "You're the strange one. You're clearly a king, yet you wear a mask."

　"..." Cong Yu found it difficult to explain to her why she needed a "human identity." Because that would make her seem like she was playing a role-playing game.

　You might be mocked for being naive by Shuten-dōji in the same way.

　Cong Yu needs an identity to attend school, so she can experience firsthand what her hometown, Fengdu, is really like.

　However, Shuten-dōji also doesn't understand why he needs to go to school.

　After all, at their level...

　All the rules of the world no longer matter; every door in the world must open its doors before them.

　What are problems in the eyes of ordinary people are no longer problems.

　With a wave of their hand, they could shatter a city; with minimal effort, they could wipe out the entire kangaroo population of Australia…

　(kangaroo:???)

　When they possess such power, it is the little things that are interesting that truly capture their attention.

　Some games and competitions between beings of similar level, which seem boring and idiotic to outsiders...

　Only then can it be considered interesting.

　Chapter 120 Takemikazuchi Doesn't Want to See a Doctor

　"Drink! Drink some more!"

　"Look at this Ah Qing, he's such a loser, he got drunk after only a few cans of alcohol."

　"That Ah Qing is such a loser!"

　"So, you're pretty brave, huh?"

　"Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay..."

　"..." Cong Yu struggled to walk between the tables, watching the drunken ghosts, trying her best not to step on the scattered bottles on the ground.

　"Mount Oe is still the same as before."

　Shuten casually shrugged at Cong Yu's assessment: "If the king has never changed, if the king's mind has never changed... then how could our Mount Ooe have changed so much?"

　As he said this, Shuten pointed to the LCD TV hanging on the wall: "But it's not entirely unchanged... Compared to decades ago, we've bought a lot of technological equipment. If we stick to our old ways, we'll be eliminated by the world."

　Indeed, even the eccentric Shuten-dōji understands this point, while on the magical girl side... there are quite a few who consider themselves veterans and stubbornly cling to their own ways.

　"In fact, there are not many people in human society who still like to watch TV. Most people prefer to play with their mobile phones."

　As Shuten led Congyu into the corridor on the other side of the tavern, he tilted his head in confusion and said, "Is that so? I'm not quite sure."

　"But aren't cell phones for communication and interaction? Oh, and for playing games... What if you want to watch movies?"

　Sure enough, people who live too long (or are eccentric) will eventually become a little bit out of touch.

　Fortunately, not many of the members of the Shuten-dōji group have broken away from the group.

　"You can watch it on a video app if you download it."

　"Oh? Oh! There's such a thing? As expected of you, Cong Yu... But, it's definitely more comfortable to watch on a big screen."

　Although Cong Yu didn't think there was anything particularly noteworthy about it that made him say "As expected of you," he didn't dwell on it and nodded instead: "That's true."

　While the two chatted idly, Shuten, with Murasame in tow, gradually approached a room.

　"Wait! Is Cong Yu here? Is it Cong Yu?"

　Then, a sound came from the room, and it sounded like the voice of a very young child.

　Although he has outgrown his childishness, it's not fair to say he's afraid of "children." But to call him a "teenager" feels somewhat androgynous.

　Since puberty hasn't started yet, it's sometimes hard to tell if someone is male or female...

　No, to be precise, it's indistinguishable between male and female.

　Immediately afterwards, a shameful yet urgent voice came from inside the room: "Cong Yu, don't come in! Don't come in!"

　"Transform!"
