Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　“Alright, the middle plan is... to hide the little Xi you mentioned. She's just an ordinary human child, so we can have a tutor educate her.”

　Eileen Grenouille said that she thought it was a very good strategy.

　But to everyone's surprise, after hesitating for a moment, Cong Yu shook her head and said, "Playmates and school life are indispensable childhood memories for children... I don't think they should be erased."

　"..." Sure enough, the King of Fengdu is a good person.

　With this conviction in mind, Eileen Greneau sighed, "Then we have no choice but to... remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

　"As long as protection is guaranteed, over time, those people's enthusiasm will gradually dissipate... 99% probability."

　A sense of impending doom might drive someone to take risks, but a clear-cut 100% certainty is different.

　That is to say...

　Kill them one by one...?

　……

　That's enough. It's time to teach Xiaoxi some self-defense techniques... I'll teach Xiaoxi the methods I used to use to "hunt down knights of gods with a mortal body".

　Nagashima Nozomi's future classmate: Huh?!

　Chapter 559 Devil Training

　What kind of person is Nagashima Koki?

　Without a doubt, he is an ordinary person.

　So, for an ordinary person, what Cong Yu would teach her would naturally be... the Four Ancient Tombs, which she had done once and was now competing!

　He grabbed her right at the start!

　The opponent's substitute immediately switches to a sword, unleashes an eight-hit combo, then summons a spirit and releases bone-pulling!

　……

　That is of course impossible.

　"..." Cong Yu, who was once an ordinary person herself, knows how an ordinary human should fight.

　The answer was—don't fight.

　"Don't initiate a fight."

　Congyu was instructing Nagashima Koki in this way, sitting in a place that resembled a dojo, with huge scrolls and swords on shelves behind her.

　Meanwhile, sitting opposite Cong Yu was Nagashima Koki, who was sitting on a futon in her training clothes: "Master... what do you mean?"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　"Don't call me master... this isn't a formal apprenticeship, okay?"

　With a helpless sigh, Cong Yu glanced at the high-class calligraphy scrolls and weapons behind her.

　This is one of the training rooms of the 22nd Group.

　Its main focus is cultivation!

　Cong Yu also offered her explanation for "not going into battle": "What I mean is... don't easily show that you are actually dangerous."

　As she said this, Cong Yu smiled gently and said, "Just like me, the more harmless I appear, the more powerful I will be when I suddenly start fighting... This contrast is enough to leave others stunned."

　"..." In Nagashima Koki's eyes, the phrase "just like me" was not very convincing.

　"Hmm... well, it does seem a bit like that."

　As she said this, Nagashima Koki put her hands behind her back and thought to herself, "When we first met, Murasame-nii even fed me grass..."

　Indeed, when Congyu saved Nagashima Riko, he did find Nagashima Koki annoying, so he simply stuffed a mouthful of greenery leaves into her mouth.

　Although it was to protect her, she still had to thank Brother Cong Yu...

　But thinking about it carefully, that was probably a perverse sense of humor, the kind of obviously wickedness that Brother Congyu possessed.

　"..." In response to Xiao Xi's gaze, Cong Yu coughed lightly, feigning indifference: "Is that so? I don't quite remember."

　Then, seeing Xiao Xi's disdainful look, Cong Yu looked away: "Anyway, we've already asked Xiao Ying to protect you. If you encounter any danger, just shout 'Xiao Ying, help!'"

　"..." Nagashima Koki blinked, unaware of this, and looked around, saying, "What Koki? I don't see Koki..."

　When Xiaoxi raised this question.

　A small, jet-black shadow silently emerged from Xiaoxi's shadow and stood behind Yongdao Xiaoxi.

　Then, looking around, Nagashima Koki saw something dark and was startled: "Wow, quack?!"

　After confirming that Nagashima Koki had noticed her, the small shadowy figure, whose clothing patterns were indistinct, nodded to her and Congyu before gradually returning to Nagashima Koki's shadow.

　They were not wearing clothes, but some pitch-black, wing-like, angular things were floating behind them.

　It's reminiscent of a floating cannon.

　Nagashima Koki: "???"

　Nagashima Koki, her face filled with shock, stared wide-eyed at her own shadow, then at Cong Yu: "Huh?"

　How can those little shadowy figures that walk around the company even slip into people's shadows? How terrifying...

　"Isn't Xiaoying an office worker and a cleaner?"

　Nagashima Koki was deeply skeptical, looking at her own shadow with a questioning gaze: "Can you even protect me properly?"

　It's normal to have such doubts, but generally there's no need to worry about it.

　"When Xiaoying is around, as long as you don't provoke an outrageous enemy, she can usually handle things."

　Cong Yu assured Xiao Xi that Xiao Ying's strength was ranked according to her number.

　The earlier the number, the closer the body type is to that of a female college student, the weaker the language ability, and the stronger the physical abilities.

　The one who protects Nagashima Nozomi.

　It's No. 99, already in the top 100.

　While it might not be easy to clash with a strong leader-level opponent, protecting a little Xi would be a piece of cake.

　"So, if something happens, just call Xiaoying... um, but don't shout loudly, you can shout quietly. Because Xiaoying might neglect her duties or something at any time, who knows?"

　Cong Yu spoke hesitantly, ignoring Xiao Ying's protesting fist that lashed out from Xiao Cui's shadow.

　"So, I

　Let me teach you something real...

　As she said this, Cong Yu took out a small dagger from her pocket... a very small, straight, and light dagger.

　It gives off a feeling of a child using a dagger.

　"I'll teach you... how to use a dagger!"

　As he spoke, Cong Yu elegantly drew the dagger, which revealed a faint purple hue, from its sheath and twirled it in his hand.

　Finally, Cong Yu, who had been gracefully covering the blade with a flower, turned the dagger into a sharp grip, which drew applause from Xiao Cui, whose eyes were shining.

　"Hmph, this dagger is coated with deadly poison!"

　As she said this, Cong Yu placed the knife in front of her face, then wickedly stuck out her tongue and licked the knife.

　"what……"

　Xiao Xi looked at Cong Yu hesitantly.

　"..."

　"Ah this..."

　Cong Yu realized something was wrong, glanced down at the dagger, and pursed her lips: "Um... this—"

　Plop! Plop!

　Immediately afterwards, Cong Yu collapsed!

　Cong Yu, OUT!

　……

　However, nothing happened... Cong Yu immediately looked up at Xiao Cui, who was about to call a doctor: "Stop, I was just kidding."

　Cong Yu sat up as she stopped Xiao Cui, saying, "This is a poison that only takes effect when it enters the bloodstream, and its effect is limited to paralysis."

　Cong Yu said very seriously, "But even a tiny scratch is enough to take down an African elephant... Here you go."

　"Be careful and use your weapon to protect yourself. Next, I will teach you the correct way to use this knife."

　-

　"..."

　"Cong Yu, I brought coffee... ah..."

　As the doctor said this, he pushed open the trainer's door and was immediately covered in scarlet fake blood that smelled real.

　The fake blood used for training dripped into the coffee cup in her hand.

　"..."

　"A sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection)."

　With this assessment, the doctor took a sip of the sweet coffee, which contained some pigment extracted from tomatoes, and looked at Xiaoxi and Congyu, who were covered in "blood".

　Holding the dagger, Nagashima Koki took deep breaths and kept stabbing the abdomen of a dummy, getting covered in the spurting blood.

　"Okay! That's it!"

　Cong Yu nodded in satisfaction, then gestured to Xiao Xi: "Next, crash into it! Be quick! Be ruthless!"

　Xiaoxi took this very seriously.

　"Yes! Master!"

　-

　Doctor: Oh no, am I Xiaoxi's teacher?

　Also, Cong Yu, is what you taught... really okay?!

　Chapter 560 Opening the Door

　"excuse me."

　"Oh! Cong Yu, we're here...?"

　"..." Blood...or rather, fake blood.

　What appeared before Yaochuan Guang, Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui at this moment was a pile of severed limbs (dummies), and Nagashima Xiao Xi and Cong Yu covered in blood.

　The doctor, meanwhile, hid in a corner of the room, avoiding being splashed with the blood that smelled so bad, and observed Cong Yu's training.

　"..." Lan Tianzhu saw the overwhelming splatter of blood and stood there for half a second before realizing that it was fake blood.

　"Chucky!"

　Nagashima Koki swiftly delivered a triple stab, effortlessly pulling the dagger from the dummy's neck: "Oh, everyone's here?"

　While greeting everyone, Nagashima Koki waved to them, her face still covered in blood.

　It looks terrifying, like some super-serious killer is greeting us.

　Combined with Xiaoxi's age, the style makes it look like a supernatural horror movie with American gore... It's terrifying.

　However, Yaochuan Guang felt nothing at all.

　"Oh, coming right now, good morning."

　Waving his hand, Yaochuan Guang stepped onto the blood-soaked ground without a care and asked, "How's Congyu-chan's training of Xiaoxi going?"

　Although it was asked this way, the training results of Cong Yu and Xiao Xi could be clearly observed... right here.

　The blood and mutilated limbs scattered on the ground, along with the mannequins piled up waiting to be retrieved, testified to the intensity of their training.

　However, it seems to be just a waste of resources.

　Nagashima Koki still has no concept of fighting, combat, or spells... she's like someone who understands nine out of ten things but is completely clueless about the rest.

　"Yes, now, Xiaoxi can plunge a sharp blade into the chest of any enemy with a smile, in the most ordinary manner."
