Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Yeah~~ That's great, I'm going to have a family, yeah yeah yeah~~~"

Joyful cheers instantly filled the entire room. Yu Huan, who was leaning against the bed, still felt a little weak in his body, and smiled at the cheering girl in front of him. A gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.

"For now... let's stay here!"

She thought so, at least before the exhaustion-like sequelae of her transformation into Oma Zi-O passed, Yuhuan felt that this was a good idea!

4. Where does Oma Zi-O’s sequelae come from?

Yu Huan lived in this simple but warm little family and became a member of it. Although she had no problem moving normally for a period of time due to exhaustion, after learning about her (made-up) injury, she was forcefully (and pitifully) pressed to the bed and taken care of non-stop every day.

Under such circumstances, Yu Huan really couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he spent three days like this, with food provided for him and clothes provided for him. By the way, because there was only one bed in the girl's house, on the first night, Yu Huan found that he had occupied the only bed, and the other party actually slept on the ground next to him. So he let her get on the bed without saying a word.

Then from that day on, I once again returned to my most basic job since I came into this world: hugging a pillow!

The girl's name is Shi Lei. She is an orphan who grew up in a small village called Huangcao Village. It is said that she was picked up from the mountain by the village chief and grew up in the village eating food from hundreds of families. The name Shi Lei seems to be the only thing her parents left her when she was a child: the name engraved on a white jade pendant.

Baiyu Village is indeed in the Demon Realm, but it is located at the outermost edge of the Demon Realm, almost close to the edge of the ruins. It is one of the hundreds of villages outside the city under the jurisdiction of the nearest city: Jiuhuang City.

Huangcao Village is a down-and-out village, which can be heard from the name of the village. In the entire village, except for the village chief who is a one-star magician of the lowest level, the rest are some one-star and two-star magic apprentices who can only cast one or two zero-level magics at most. Therefore, in their cognition, magicians who can cast magic are undoubtedly particularly great figures...some are similar to royal relatives.

It is said that the Lord of Jiuhuang City is a great one-star magician. Because he does not know what the magic system of the Demon Realm is like, Yu Huan has no way to tell what realm the so-called one-star magician is at. But he thinks... he should be able to defeat him, right?

Well, the "beatable" here refers to Yuhuan in the current situation. After all, although he often uses the Kamen Rider system, there is still extremely powerful magic power in Yuhuan's body. Under such circumstances, his magic level will naturally not be too low!

Shi Lei is the hope of Huangcao Village... Of course, this is how the villagers evaluate her rather than what she calls herself. If you want to know why, it is because just one year ago at Shi Lei's 18th birthday ceremony, she was detected to have magical powers, which means that she has the hope of becoming a magician... For Huangcao Village, which is located on the edge of the village, this is definitely a big happy event that is enough to move the entire village!

In view of this, Shi Lei almost became the pride and darling of the village during this year. Because she was a guest at many houses and she was cute and well-behaved, the villagers were extremely friendly and loved her. Now she could become a magician and bring honor to the village. It was conceivable that Shi Lei's status in the village was definitely the highest.

Fortunately, Shi Lei herself is not an ostentatious or arrogant person. Therefore, even when she was loved by everyone, she did not get carried away at all. Even when she learned that she had magic powers, and even when she was about to be the only student in the village who was admitted to Jiuhuang City Magic Academy once every three years, she still did what she was supposed to do every day without any change. She even directly rejected the plan of the village chief to rebuild her small courtyard and thatched house. She can be said to be truly indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no desires or demands!

Well, it’s not that she has no desires or wants. At least having a family is the simplest wish of this innocent and ignorant girl.

Over the course of a few days, Yu Huan had extracted a lot of information from the innocent Shi Lei. He also had a rough idea of ​​the Demon Realm. He also learned that Shi Lei would be attending the Jiuhuang City Magic Academy in May, two months from now, as the only recommended student in the village. He tried to ask if she could take him with her, but the answer he received was a matter-of-fact response:

"Of course I have to take Xiao Huan with me. You are my only family, and I will never be separated from you! Absolutely not!"

It was not until much later that Yu Huan realized how heavy the other party's belief was. However, she did not have such a profound understanding at that time. Therefore, she only twitched her lips at Shi Lei's performance and stopped talking!

Shi Lei is not blind, she just can't open her eyes... That's right, her eyes are like they are stuck with glue. Shi Lei can't open them at all, but she can inexplicably "see" everything around her. That's why Yu Huan always sees her with her eyes closed, but her movements have never been affected.

With his vast knowledge of literature, Yu Huan instantly judged Shi Lei's behavior and concluded that she was definitely someone with a story. However, he didn't gossip about it out of curiosity. Instead, he was confused and depressed because of another thing, which was...

"I've been lying down for seven days, why do I still feel so weak and powerless? Do the aftereffects last that long?"

Perhaps because they were far away from the Demon Realm, the communication between Yu Huan and Yu was always inexplicably good and bad. Therefore, apart from the initial communication, they had only had a few simple chats in the past few days. After learning that Xiaotang and others had successfully entered Tianyu City and reunited with Xiao Ya and others, Yu Huan was slightly relieved. However, when he heard Yu say in a jealous tone, "Sister, there is a fire in your backyard", he felt inexplicably... Fortunately, he fell into the Demon Realm!

In today's communication, Yu Huan also asked Yu about the sequelae of Oma Zi-O, but the answer he got was:

"Aftereffects? What aftereffects? That's your own power, sister. How could there be such a weird aftereffect?"

Kamen Rider is the power given to Yuhuan by the system, and it is obviously designed with Yuhuan in mind in every aspect. Perhaps because Yuhuan is not strong enough or has not yet collected all the conditions, the belt may have some degree of limitation, but there will definitely not be such sequelae as exhaustion that can be fatal at certain times, so Yu can assert this point.

5. Aren’t you supposed to be weak?

"No sequelae? Then what am I doing..."

　After concluding his communication with Yu, Yu Huan immediately fell into confusion... If there were no aftereffects, then what had caused his weakness over the past seven days? It couldn't possibly be something wrong with his body, could it? After all, not only had his soul been completely repaired, but now, besides the power of the sealed Kamen Rider, his magical and physical strength were abundant. Clearly, this kind of problem shouldn't be happening!

With this doubt in mind, Yu Huan raised his hand somewhat depressed. With the help of the Brave System, there was no problem at all. However, Yu Huan could keenly feel the subtle lack of physical strength in his body. In fact, the impact on Yu Huan was not very big, and even the battle would not have the slightest impact, but it just made people feel... a little uncomfortable!

"So what on earth is wrong with this?"

Scratching his head, not knowing what was going on, Yu Huan got out of bed a little impatiently and took two steps. Then he looked outside under the moonlight, opened the door and walked outside.

It has been seven days since he came to this place. Because of Shi Lei's excessive concern, Yu Huan couldn't even take a step out of the room. Shi Lei treated him as if he would die in the light. In broad daylight, he was even afraid of being burned by the sun. As for night... he was like a pillow, and it was impossible for him to leave!

Today is the seventh day. According to Shi Lei, the vegetables at home have been eaten, so she wants to go up the mountain to pick some... Most people in the village are self-sufficient, and there is never a shortage of food. But occasionally they will go to the nearby mountains to dig some, of course not for anything else, just because it tastes better!

Ever since she got a little Yu Huan at home, Shi Lei has obviously treated it like a treasure. Not to mention anything else, just the food is the best she can make... The spoiled Yu Huan sometimes feels that the two of them are not like sisters anymore, but more like a lady and a maid.

The bright moon in the mountains, the dreamy village... The village without street lights appeared dim at night. However, it did not cause much impact on Yu Huan. He casually opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Looking around, he could vaguely see the lights in the distance and the vaguely visible small village.

Shi Lei lived on the edge of the village, with the village in front and a high emerald green mountain behind. It was said that behind the mountain were the endless desert ruins, but they were blocked by a large magic circle. Therefore, this crisp mountain peak was not eroded by the wind and sand. Soldiers from the Demon Realm were also stationed there to deal with the strange beasts that collided with the magic circle.

Gazing into the distance, Yu Huan was not particularly curious about this. He just casually took a look and stretched his body after being idle for several days. Then, a faint divine light surrounded his body, and for a moment, Yu Huan felt refreshed.

"Huh?"

He let out a deep breath, but suddenly his eyes flashed and he saw a light that was still on not far away. It was not in the direction of the village, but in another room not far away from the courtyard. He could vaguely see a swaying figure in it, and Yu Huan quickly recognized that the figure was Shi Lei.

"It's so late, what are you doing?"

With such curiosity in mind, Yu Huan immediately walked towards Shi Lei, but did not deliberately hide his footsteps. He was not noticed by the other party until he was close to the edge of the room, and he didn't know what the other party was doing inside.

"hour……"

He opened his mouth and was about to say something and knock on the door when Shi Lei's excited voice suddenly came out, which made Yu Huan slightly stunned:

"This... this... this... okay, then it should be fine. Just pour it into Xiao Huan's food tomorrow and let him eat it!"

The words were full of smiles, but for some reason, they carried a gloomy feeling. Perhaps it was an illusion. Yu Huan scratched his head. Why did these words sound so much like the words of a villain? Could it be that Shi Lei's true identity was actually some evil magician or alchemist, who had taken him in out of good intentions for some conspiracy, and that everything she had shown before was just an act?

"You're overthinking it, Yuhuan!"

A slap was lightly given on his forehead. Yu Huan didn't even knock on the door and pushed it open, then walked in. Then he saw... In a dimly lit room, there was a crowded environment with various bottles and jars randomly placed. In the center was a huge boiler, and a little girl was constantly pouring the objects in her hands into the pot.

And after things like flowers, plants or various liquids were poured into it, the boiler, which was already filled with ominous colors, instantly turned pitch black under the visible boiling bubbles.

"Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~"

The pitch-black liquid seemed to have life, constantly boiling and tumbling, making people feel nauseous just by looking at it. However, the little girl with long pink hair looked at the liquid in front of her with excitement. The excitement on her face could not be concealed no matter what, and it made people shudder!

"Hey? Xiao Huan? Why are you here?"

Muran suddenly discovered Yu Huan's figure, but he did not panic as if he had been discovered. It seemed that he was not doing anything shameful!

Shi Lei looked at Yu Huan with a slight smile, but she didn't realize that in this atmosphere, this apparently innocent smile would instead give people a chilling feeling.

"Um... well... I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I got up and walked around... What are you doing?"

After making up a random excuse, Yu Huan pointed at the boiler in front of him and asked with some doubt. Lei did not hide anything at this time and spoke directly without thinking:

"Get you some medicine!"

The matter-of-fact tone made Yu Huan breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was making medicine for himself... Wait, making medicine for himself?

"Why? Am I sick?"

Although she was indeed a little weak these days, compared with the bonus of the hero's strength, this weakness was not a big deal for Yu Huan, so it did not affect her too much, and she was very normal in front of Shi Lei.

"That's why it's wrong!"

However, the next second, Shi Lei's words made Yu Huan fall into a daze again:

"Obviously, Xiao Huan, you should be weak, but now you're so healthy...that's why you're saying it's not right!"

"……what?"

6. Girl, you need treatment!

(When writing two books together, there will always be some overlap in ideas, so I will try my best to distinguish them!)

There was indeed weakness, but that was because Yu Huan possessed unimaginable magic power and various powers to support him, which allowed him to resist this not-so-serious feeling of weakness. However, no matter how he tried to conceal it, this feeling of weakness was indeed there.

Initially, Yu Huan thought this was a side effect of using Oma Zi-O. However, just as Yu Gang had said that Oma Zi-O had no side effects, someone on the other side noticed Shi Lei's actions and words, which immediately froze Yu Huan in his tracks. After a long moment, he cautiously asked, "What's going on?"

"Um...why did you make me weak?"

This isn't curing yourself at all, it's clearly taking your life... It doesn't seem that serious, it's just making your body weak, but why?

"To let Xiao Huan accompany me!"

It was still those innocent words, but what came out was...

"So you drugged me and made me weak just to make me stay with you?"

Yu Huan looked at Shi Lei in disbelief, and in return she nodded slightly. That matter-of-fact expression coupled with her innocent face almost made Yu Huan think that what she was doing was really a natural thing.

"Wait, wait, wait, tell me the logic behind this. Why do you have to be weak just to have me accompany you?"

After instantly shaking his head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, Yu Huan immediately asked... Shi Lei's expression obviously did not look like she was deliberately trying to hurt him. After all, Yu Huan could see through emotions, and that was obvious. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to live under the same roof with the other person for such a long time.

Shi Lei's concern for him and the fact that she treated him like a family member were absolutely genuine. However, it was precisely because of this that her strange behavior was the root of her doubts.

"Huh? But that's what the book says!"

“…in a book?”

It was this kind of matter-of-fact talk again. It was precisely because of this innocent yet matter-of-fact tone that it always gave people the feeling that whatever Shi Lei said was right. When Yu Huan was stunned again, Shi Lei had already replied in a rather learned tone:

"Yes, it's what the book says. One day, a magician (girl) was injured (unconscious) and stayed in a villager's home. The villager took good care of the magician, and then the two of them secretly fell in love and lived a happy life together. However, after the magician's injury recovered, the villager said, 'I have something I need to do. I'll come back to find you.' Then he left and never came back!"

Why does this routine sound so familiar?

"so……"

Yu Huan had no expression on his face!

"So, in order to prevent Xiao Huan from leaving me after her injury heals, of course I have to keep her injured!"

Souga souga, so that’s how it is… What the hell!

"Can I ask what book you're reading?"

Blinking his dead eyes, he looked at the ignorant Shi Lei in front of him. Without even a second thought, he decisively pulled out a book from the table beside him and handed it to Yu Huan. On it was clearly written in large, gold-plated letters the following name:

Those Years, the Romantic Life of a Wandering Mage!

"..."

Silently glancing at the hand-painted cover that looked extremely like something inappropriate for children, Yu Huan stared at the book for a while before slowly shifting his gaze to the table where Shi Lei had taken the book. If he saw correctly, there seemed to be dozens of books scattered around there. Originally, Yu Huan had thought they were books on alchemy, after all, Shi Lei was working on that. However, now it seemed...

"Excuse me, may I have a look at your books?"

Yu Huan suddenly asked this.

"Oh? Sure, Xiao Huan, we are a family. My things are all yours. Don't ask me!"

Shi Lei nodded and corrected the honorific part in Yu Huan's words, saying so.

"All right!"

Without dwelling on this for too long, Yu Huan immediately walked over, picked up a book at random, and began to read:

The Imprisoned Princess and the Evil Wizard

The Sweet Cage of the Forbidden Garden

Slave Girl's Strategy for Her Master's Brother

One Hundred and One Methods of Imprisonment in the Mage Tower

Deep Love of Being Nurtured

"..."

Don't ask why there is a book with ellipsis in it, because this book has no name at all, there is only a string of ellipsis on it. However, Yu Huan looked at the cover which was so bad that it couldn't be worse, and suddenly had a keen intuition that once he opened it, he would definitely awaken some strange properties.

"Do you usually...read these books?"

With some difficulty, Yu Huan shifted his gaze from these books, looking at each of them with a cover that was extremely bad and could be directly listed as a banned book, and asked Shi Lei.

"Yeah! Of course I also read some alchemy books. Don't look at me like that, I'm a two-star alchemy apprentice!"

At least she was self-reliant. Although the alchemy apprentice was not particularly powerful, if she refined some hemostatic potions and sold them, she could at least supplement Shi Lei's family income.

"Oh, that's really impressive... No, now's not the time to talk about that!"

Almost being led astray by the other party's arrogant expression of "I'm so awesome!", Yu Huan changed the subject instantly and without a word, he put away all the books on the table.

"These books are confiscated. You are not allowed to read them anymore!"

You can tell it’s not a good book just by looking at the cover, not to mention the name. The content inside must be even better!

"Yeah, since Xiao Huan won't let me watch it, I won't watch it!"

Seeing Yu Huan put away all the books, Shi Lei nodded vigorously as if it didn't matter.

"Fortunately, it doesn't look like it's too deep..."

"Anyway, I've finished reading them all. I'm planning to go to Xiao Maomao's in a couple of days to buy some new ones. I'll leave these for Xiao Huan to read!"
