Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

Because this world is special, people in this world seem to be face-blind. Even though the hair color, facial features and body shape are the same, they just can't recognize the magical girls and monsters after they have transformed.

Sometimes Cong Yu even wondered if it was intentional, or if it was the underlying logic written on the rules of the world.

"I was wrong! I'm too late! Please don't post our story on Twitter, or my innocence will be ruined!"

The shouting of the girl outside the door could be interpreted in a rather ambiguous way if misinterpreted... so it also attracted the attention of the people around.

They all stopped and prepared to watch the fun.

After realizing this, Cong Yu had no choice but to reopen the door and invite Shan Yaojiang and the two men in suits and sunglasses into her room.

Then, he glanced at the passers-by who stopped there with a calm gaze.

Under Cong Yu's gaze, passers-by inexplicably felt a sense of oppression from the existence of someone higher up in the food chain.

So they all left as if nothing had happened.

"Ugh……"

Sighing, Cong Yu closed the door and looked at the magical girl and the man in a suit and sunglasses who had sat down consciously.

"Well, please?"

Magical Girl Shining☆-chan seemed to think that Cong Yu's behavior of [raising her hand to signal] was very cool.

So, with stars in his eyes, he began to imitate awkwardly.

Cong Yu: “…”

So, what are you here for?

"Mr. Cong Yu...is that so?"

A man in a suit said, respectfully handing his business card to Cong Yu: "I am a member of the Central Magical Girls Agency, Fudu Branch, abbreviated as [Fudu Magical Girls Agency], please take a look."

The other party was very polite, but Cong Yu did not give him a business card in exchange. He simply took the business card and said, "I am Cong Yu."

"Hi! Mr. Cong Yu, it's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

Although he was a little surprised by Cong Yu's choice of words and the etiquette of her self-introduction, the man in the suit still responded seriously: "I've heard of the famous cartoonist, Mr. CY."

In response, Cong Yu stared at him and responded calmly: "This is no longer [heard of], but [investigated]... When will the information security of citizens be fully protected?"

Yes, Cong Yu has made some famous comics, such as "Shine! Magical Girl!" and "Magical Girl Connect: Re".

But netizens all know the pen name "CY", but if you want to connect it with Cong Yu, it's not something you can just [hear] about.

I was investigated...

The girl with golden hair saw that the topic was heading in a strange direction, so she immediately put her hands together and interrupted the topic:

"Stop it, everyone. We are here to discuss compensation! Let's get down to business!"

That's what I mean... compensation.

To Cong Yu who was looking at him, the man in the black suit slowly began, "It's like this, Mr. CY, our firm has a new project about residential development, and we decided to build a series of [Shelter] houses."

This was a new term that Cong Yu had never heard of, but he was somewhat interested in it and nodded to signal the other party to continue.

"The Shelter will serve as a welfare residence for the magical girls who live in the Fuuto in the office. The high security it provides makes it commercially valuable."

"The housing has been completed. You can check it out on the official website. The conditions are much better than the house you live in. It has now begun to be distributed to working magical girls as welfare, but it has not yet started to be rented out."

“To be honest, we think that given Teacher CY’s identity, announcing her move-in would be a good opportunity to promote the [shelter].”

"..."

Cong Yu almost understood it. He looked at the man in the suit very simply and asked briefly: "Will you give me a place to stay?"

Seeing Cong Yu's obvious interest, the man in the black suit smiled and said, "Not only that, as long as you promise not to spread negative information about the apartment, sometimes you can promote it based on the contract, and the endorsement fee will be deposited into your account every month..."

"make a deal!"

Cong Yu's words seemed to carry a decisive force. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and shook hands with the man in the black suit: "Happy cooperation!"

"Pleasant to work with."

Although [Magical Girl Shining☆chan] didn't understand why the two reached a consensus so quickly.

But it seems that my dark history will not be uploaded by this strange boy, which is great!

Then, she saw the man in the black suit looking at her: "Yaochuan, there are only two people living in the house arranged for you now, right?"

The shelter is a four-person residence with four bedrooms and a large shared living room, as well as a semi-open-air swimming pool on the roof.

It is a place with complete facilities, close to the office and convenient transportation.

The magical girl Shining☆chan, who was called Yaochuan, was stunned for a moment and responded, "Ah? Hi... That's right."

"..."

Magical Girl Shining☆Chan: Eh?

Cong Yu: Huh?

Could this mean...

"You want to live with her?!"

"Is he going to move in?"

Chapter 4: Self-isolation

“It’s so crowded…it’s really crowded!!!”

A tall, royal sister complained like this and jumped into this small room that looked like a snail's dwelling through the narrow window.

It was a very, very crowded, neon-style small room with tatami mats on the floor, a closet and a desk.

It looks like Nobita's room in Doraemon, but it seems to be much smaller and therefore looks very crowded.

The crowding becomes even more obvious when there is a pile of inexplicable books in the corner.

The tall lady in casual clothes and jeans stared at the pile of books and shouted at them angrily: "Hey! Come out!"

Along with the tall lady's voice, there were some unusual movements in the pile of books, and then a little girl's head popped out.

Then, a loli who looked very high-tech and was wearing a monocle that reminded people of a [Combat Power Detector] came out from the pile of books.

"Hong? What's going on?"

Loli asked.

"..."

In response to the loli's question, the mature sister called [Red] did not respond at first, but instead found a place to sit down in the messy and small room with great difficulty.

Then, [Hong] let out a long sigh of relief and communicated with the loli in front of him: "Boss, Cong Yu called."

In response, the loli known as [BOSS] was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "Haha, is he finally out of money?"

"Cong Yu has no plan for spending money. The money he earned from drawing comics is probably spent all at once... When will he come back to work?"

"..."

Listening to the loli who seemed to be looking forward to it, Hong glanced at her and said casually: "Ah, she will come tomorrow and said she wants to marry me."

Suddenly, the loli known as BOSS was stunned: "What, this is not possible... um~"

Halfway through her speech, she reacted and complained with resentment: "You started again? You're talking nonsense."

It looked like this loli was a little annoyed, she had known for a long time that [Red] was this kind of nonsense person, but she almost believed her lies.

In silence, Loli buried herself in the pile of books and stared at Hong with an expression that said, "Will you tell me or not?"

"Ah, don't look at me like that... Well, it seems that one of our weirdos broke into his current house and forgot the package there."

As [Red] said this, he looked at the boss with sharp eyes and questioned, "Don't tell me this is a coincidence?"

"..."

"..."

"Maybe? Maybe not?"

The BOSS said this, but her evasive eyes, not daring to meet Hong's, proved that she had something to hide.

However, Hong did not ask about this, but stared at her with a more serious look: "Also, tell me the truth about Cong Yu's resignation!"

In response, the boss coughed twice and said, "Well, I feel sorry for Cong Yu's resignation."

The boss pointed to the extremely small room and said, "Before, none of you wanted to come here. Only Cong Yu and I lived here together, eating and living together... He even helped me clean the room."

What is this, playing the emotional card?

Hong narrowed her eyes and watched the BOSS's performance. She knew that what she said was not false, but this did not conflict with her desire to know the truth.

"..."

"So, since he and I have such a good relationship and I let him go, why do you keep asking me questions?"

The boss said this, looking pitiful.

Hong took a big step towards her, raised one hand in her direction, and dangerous scarlet magic began to gather.

Then, under the sweaty gaze of the boss, Hong, who looked ready to take action at any time, explained softly: "I am the witch who was corrupted by Cong Yu himself. Am I not qualified to know the truth?"

"If I don't know the truth, how can I call Cong Yu back?! All of you are like this and don't say anything!"

"I'm going to find Cong Yu!"

As Hong said this in a shocking voice, the scarlet magic power in his hand began to show a little distortion, and it looked like it might go out of control at any time.

"..."

"Gulu~"

The boss swallowed his saliva, then immediately waved his hands with an awkward smile: "It's all easy to talk about... Hong, calm down first."

Then, looking at Hong who withdrew her hands and folded her arms across her chest, the BOSS sighed, lamenting how he, the boss, had no respect for anyone and had no dignity at all.

"There are very complicated reasons for this."

The boss said this, and after searching for a while, he threw a book beside him to Hong, and spread his hands to indicate: "The answer you want is in it."

a book?

Hong was a little hesitant. She thought of a lot in an instant... There are many secret books in this world, and some of them record some secrets.

There are books about magic, books about the laws of the stars in the sky, and even books of prophecy that foretell the future.

Looking at the Chinese characters on this book, or rather this [booklet], she recognized the numbers [three] and [five] on it.

This is "Three Years of College Entrance Examination, Five Years of Simulation"

……

“Isn’t this a test question?”

Hong was a little mad after flipping through the book. She tore the book into pieces in no time. "You can't fool me like this, can you?!"

However, the boss did not look away, but nodded very seriously: "It's true, Cong Yu said that he would study hard and go to Fengdu University in the future."

Weirdos… University… Senior officers of the 22nd Group… Study hard.

How do these words connect together? ! ! !

Hong felt that he couldn't understand it. He rubbed his head and asked, "Why? Didn't he become a cadre?"

Although the 22nd Group is not a top-tier weirdo group, it is, after all, part of the dark side of the world and a group that controls the lifeblood of the world.

You've already achieved this, why are you still thinking about going to college? !

As if he could see Hong's disbelief, the boss sighed, "I don't really believe it either, but Cong Yu told me so... and the higher-ups approved Cong Yu's resignation and didn't let him do a mission that would put him at risk of death."

The boss said this, looking at the gradually sobering witch, and recalled the past:

"Cong Yu said she wanted a normal, ordinary...high school and college life without the troubles of magical girls."

What I mean is, you really want a normal experience as a precious treasure in your memory? This is quite understandable.

Thinking this, Hong recalled her life fighting as a magical girl since junior high school...

If Cong Yu hadn't rescued her, she might still not know what freedom feels like.

If that’s the case, then Hong… I really don’t know what expression I should make?
