Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Chen Ming glanced at the landlady and said to Yu Qian—

"Okay...now...can Daddy ask you a question?"

"...He really is a father now."

The landlady muttered to herself, it was absolutely bizarre. She and Yuqian were classmates, yet Yuqian called her "Dad"? My classmate's dad is the person I like…

Or, from Chen Ming's perspective, if my daughter's classmate wanted to be my wife... that sounds like a reason to put Chen Ming in jail.

He was killed the next day.

Chen Ming twitched his lips, resolutely ignoring the landlady's nagging.

Yu Qian smiled sweetly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and placed her hand on his chest, saying—

"Of course you can. Daddy can ask you anything. Yuqian is a good girl, and she will listen to Daddy no matter what..."

"Oh... I see..."

This pure, unconditional trust made Chen Ming even more embarrassed. If they continued chatting like this, he might really end up recognizing his daughter and spoiling her.

He decided to get straight to the point and asked—

"Little Yuqian, let me ask you first... are you a witch?"

"Yuqian is not a witch."

Yuqian shook her head cutely, but after thinking for a moment, she frowned slightly and said—

"However, the association seems to have mentioned that the title 'witch' was indeed used by the older generation. But at some point, the title was changed..."

"job title???"

Chen Ming was momentarily dazed. How did such a strange term come out? Do witches also have to take a level test?

Yu Qian tilted her head and said—

"Yes, it seems that before, they were called witches, and their ability levels like one or two tattoos didn't change... But after the association was reorganized, the people who joined weren't called witches anymore... And now, it's rare to see witch seniors..."

"What association?"

Chen Ming felt that Yu Qian kept using this term, and he couldn't understand it without figuring it out.

Yuqian put her finger to her lips, blinked, smiled mischievously, and exclaimed—

"It's a secret!"

"Forehead……"

Chen Ming was both amused and exasperated. Although Yu Qian trusted him completely now, she still had a childlike nature and was quite mischievous.

This is getting a bit troublesome.

Yu Qian looked at Chen Ming, who seemed to have a headache, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying—

"I was just kidding. Yuqian is a good girl. She won't hide anything from her dad... I'll tell you if Daddy will just give me a kiss."

"..." "..." "..."

The other three people in the room watched Chen Ming silently, seemingly waiting to see a good show, or perhaps their gazes were mixed with disdain.

Chen Ming glanced at them, feeling extremely wronged, and said—

"What are you doing? What are you doing? It wasn't me who suggested it, and I didn't deliberately guide her. It was Yuqian who asked for it herself..."

"...Are you trying to shift all the blame onto the girl? Besides, she's still a child at heart."

Dong Yi clearly looked like he was enjoying the show, watching the drama unfold. He even brought out a Coke sometime later, and his phone seemed to be recording a video.

"..."

Chen Ming felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him... Seriously, have mercy on me...

He gently pulled Yuqian's head towards him, kissed her forehead, and then said—

"Okay, now that Daddy has kissed you, can you tell me now?"

"Um……"

Yuqian touched her forehead, smiled shyly, and said somewhat provocatively—

Can you kiss my cheek again?

“…Xiaoyuqian, children should keep their word. It’s not good to push your luck. That’s not good at all. Daddy likes good children.”

Chen Ming spoke to her in an educational tone, demonstrating a skill that an education-related university student should possess.

Lucifer glanced at him with her red eyes. "Don't push your luck!" She remembered that after Chen Ming secretly kissed her, he took the opportunity to do everything he should and shouldn't have done... This was more than just pushing his luck.

If they get an inch, they'll take off immediately.

The plane wheels ran over people's faces.

This is a classic case of double standards.

But Yuqian didn't know any of this, and she said somewhat anxiously—

"I will tell you, I'm a good boy who keeps his word, Daddy, please don't hate me..."

She looked at Chen Ming pitifully.

Chen Ming's expression softened, and he stroked her hair, speaking gently—

"Daddy won't hate you, Xiaoyuqian is a good girl."

"hey-hey……"

Yuqian chuckled and nuzzled against his chest, feeling his breath, before saying—

"The association is... the Magical Girl Association."

"...What demon?"

Chen Ming thought he must have misheard, and his mouth dropped open.

Yu Qian blinked and said—

"It's the Magical Girl Association, right? They're magical girls, you know, Dad."

"..."

Looking at Yu Qian's almost pathological attachment to him, Chen Ming thought of the various dangers of being a magical girl...

Hey?

Now that you mention it...

Would this scene be considered a magical girl's defeat, followed by her being attacked by the enemy...?

Chen Ming's lips twitched suddenly.

Quick, stop thinking like this! I already feel so guilty, please stop this nonsense!

Chen Ming broke out in a cold sweat, looking at the innocent and carefree magical girl in his arms who called him "Daddy"...

This is terrible...

Chapter 276 Is it too late to turn myself in now?

Magical girl.

It's such a word, brimming with love and dreams.

Perhaps that's why so many people want to smear it with darkness, or... cough cough.

When Yuqian said she was a magical girl, Chen Ming was immediately shocked, and all sorts of images of Sakura, Merlin, Nanoha, Madoka, Madoka, and Taimanin immediately popped into his mind...

Hmm, nothing seems wrong.

Chen Ming looked at the innocent and carefree girl with her pure expression. She called him "Dad" and said that as long as he was her dad, she would obediently listen to everything.

Is it too late to turn myself in now?

Chen Ming almost seriously considered it, but the police probably wouldn't believe in something like magical girls and would send Chen Ming to a mental hospital.

Dongyi showed a slight interest upon hearing "magical girl," after all, she knew what that was. Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

"...Magical girl? Isn't it a witch?"

There doesn't seem to be any difference.

Yuqian heard Lucifer's words, glanced at her... and then, as if startled, let out a small, mournful whimper and hid in Chen Ming's arms.

Subconsciously, she felt that Lucifer was terrifying.

After all, Lucifer is the source of nightmares...

"dad……"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Chen Ming helplessly touched her smooth back, and could vaguely feel some lines and contours. The slender girl's lines were very obvious. He comforted her by stroking her back.

Chen Ming looked at Lucifer and asked—

What did you discover?

"It's not that we discovered anything, but rather that we didn't discover anything... We didn't find any difference between her and a witch. She is a witch, perhaps just a different name?"

Lucifer frowned. Why change the title to "magical girl"? What's the point? They're essentially the same.

Chen Ming looked at Yu Qian.

Yuqian carefully avoided Lucifer's gaze and said somewhat timidly—

"I... I don't know either... It's been called magical girl for a long time now. Witch is a very rare term. Even very old, retired magical girls don't know why..."

"...Can magical girls retire? That's actually a good thing."

Chen Ming heard an unexpected fact: it seems that being able to retire is not bad at all, as he doesn't have to keep fighting and killing.

Yuqian nodded her little head and said—

"Yes, the association provides five social insurances and one housing fund, as well as a housing provident fund. During holidays, they can also provide subsidies based on local conditions... It's pretty good."

"..."
