Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　This puzzled Beng again; he didn't understand what was going on.

　Seeing the puzzled look on Dian's face, he didn't finish his sentence, simply saying, "The situation has changed."

　As she said this, Dian was in a relaxed mood, saying, "The life that this land of monsters gave us has been completely cut off."

　"Our birth, our future, what can be confirmed at this moment has become uncertain."

　"The prophecy of the age of monsters and the gathering of the Six Arts can already be seen as the sands of time..."

　"The Demon King has been found, and we are now free."

　"that is good."

　Regarding "Dian's" outrageous remarks, "Beng" gave her a speechless look: "What's so good about it... The prophecy has failed, and the era of monsters can't come."

　For Bong, denying the "age of monsters" he had been searching for was indeed a difficult thing.

　In response, "Le" shook his head, or rather, shook his head and said, "As expected, you still don't understand..."

　The concept of "the age of monsters" is something that can be judged from either prophecy or conventional understanding.

　These are all things that require the "Demon King" to unlock.

　This is naturally easy to understand and perfectly justifiable, but the question is... what does the Demon King himself think about this?

　Putting everything else aside for now...

　Let's assume that "Yaochuan Guang" is the unawakened Demon King. Would she be willing to usher in an era of monsters?

　That's definitely not possible!

　Let's assume, putting everything else aside, that even if they fooled "Yaochuan Guang" into starting some kind of Demon King project... would Cong Yu be willing to do that?

　That's definitely not allowed!

　……

　Whether it's "music" or "classic," they actually know this perfectly well... The path of prophecy may not be completely blocked, but it is by no means easy to traverse.

　It's so difficult, honestly, it's so hard to walk.

　The road is rugged and full of thorns... and the "age of monsters" at the end of the road is also vaguely mentioned in the prophecy.

　The benefits are unknown, and I can't describe them anyway.

　In such circumstances, the weight of prophecy is very low, but prophecy is prophecy after all... and it is possible that it may be pushed forward one day.

　And now, the death of "Ji," whom I've never met, is no longer just death... It's actually quite symbolic.

　So good that I couldn't help but roll around on the floor laughing.

　Fate is like a net, and living beings are like insects.

　The way to break free also lies within it.

　in.

　-

　"..." Lantian Zhu is a fire-type magical girl... This is an undeniable fact, but it doesn't mean that she got her name because she is good at fire spells.

　Just like no one would say that Hikaru Yokawa is a "beam-type magical girl" or that Misaki is a "summoning-type magical girl".

　However, in fact, Xiao Cui can even be considered a magical girl with a "one-trick pony"—that "one-trick pony" is almost too good to be true.

　Moreover, the flavor can change automatically, leading to even more incredible abilities... It's not like a simple cheat.

　If I had to describe it, the spells for summoning spirits, something that always seems to have new twists and turns with each development, are like a system or a cheat code.

　Xiao Cui is also a pure template for the female protagonist in yuri novels.

　She could at least be one of the female leads.

　……

　What makes Lan Tianzhu special is the unique nature of her magic...

　Her magic flowed out naturally, manifesting as a blue flame that seemed to burn on its own.

　This is quite unique in the history of magical girls worldwide, at least in the recorded history...

　There are probably only tens of thousands of people.

　At first glance, it sounds like a lot, which is not surprising, but upon closer inspection, it is actually quite rare.

　The Iris Flame, the Source-Severing Brilliance... and now the Holy Flame, all perfectly match the magical properties of Blue Sky Nagisa herself.

　A kite from the abyss, yearning to sing freely, was bathed in a deep blue flame. It nearly perished in a glorious explosion, but was fortunate enough to be reborn in redemption.

　Just like everything Lantianzhu has done so far.

　It was bitter and scalding... just like her fate.

　"bump--"

　With a forceful flick of his wrist, a ball of holy, spreading flame erupted from Lan Tianzhu's palm, igniting the air and creating a sonic boom.

　However, it is neither a "bullet" nor a "fire," but an "explosion" that occurs over a very short distance, like the "mini-boost" in KartRider.

　The strange people around them were somewhat surprised by this.

　Because Lan Tianzhu went from starting to read the first chapter of the spellbook to seemingly "getting started" in just one morning.

　The efficiency of learning techniques is simply too high.

　So, these strange people drinking in the bar began to look at... Cong Yu with eyes of admiration.

　As expected of Lady Murasame, the magical girls around her are significantly stronger than those of other magical girls.

　Dente was quite surprised. She pointed to the "holy oil" in the jar and said, "Wait, I heard that the 'ignition' of the holy flame requires an igniter, right? Actually, it doesn't?"

　Oh no, I've been tricked by the teachers in the courtroom.

　"..."

　"No, it is necessary. My igniter... is my magic and my thoughts."

　Lan Tianzhu shook her head as she spoke: "Just finding a moment of resentment in my past memories is enough to ignite a flame."

　After saying this, Lan Tianzhu paused for a moment, then closed the book and thanked Dente and Theredo: "Thank you both for your help."

　Before Dente could wave his hand and say anything, and before Theredo could say anything with a smile, Nagisa took out two slips of paper from his pocket.

　"This is your payment, please accept it."

　Huh? What's this?

　Teradeo and Dente exchanged a glance, then looked over with curiosity...

　The note read—

　[Congyu Coupon]

　"..."

　(Cong Yu: Damn it! That was the one we lost to Yao Chuan Guang when we played board games before, how did it end up in your hands, Xiao Lan?!)

　Chapter 578 Cong Yu Doesn't Want to Take the Blame Anymore

　Cong Yu's coupon... this kind of thing is the embodiment of the legendary "doing something for you that doesn't violate the code of the martial arts world".

　It was a bet that the five of them, including Hong, had agreed upon when they played board games before, and it was for entertainment purposes only.

　Lan Tianzhu usually spends his time at home watching TV, sleeping, playing games, or using QQ... cough cough.

　In short, Lan Tianzhu, whose hands and feet were shaking from deduction (which wasn't actually the case), was naturally unlikely to become the board game champion.

　Finally, Yao Chuan Guang won the "Fūto Team Home, Board Game S-Series Champion", successfully lifting the trophy... and becoming a double champion.

　A tribute to the legendary player Yaochuan Guang.

　It's time to design a Hall of Fame skin for Yaochuan Guang (not really).

　In the end, although Yaochuan Guang did not receive the prize money, he did receive two other people's usage vouchers.

　This naturally includes Congyu's usage vouchers.

　But what was truly unexpected was...

　"You asked Yaochuan Guang for it, and then she gave it to you?"

　Cong Yu asked in shock, her voice filled with emotion: "You two are really... one dares to ask and the other dares to give."

　Lan Tianzhu nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiaoguang only needs to maintain the composure of the main wife. I have a lot more to consider."

　Is there such a saying?

　Murasaki shook his head helplessly, while Theredo and Dente began to examine the crudely made "Murasaki Usage Ticket" and pondered.

　"Things that don't violate the code of the martial arts world..."

　Lost in thought, Teradea was completely...

　I understand: "To put it bluntly, the only purpose of this 'coupon' is to replace a request... it's actually meaningless."

　Yes, Teredo understands this very clearly.

　These "usage tickets" are actually similar to sweep tickets in mobile games. You can only use them after achieving a "three-star clear".

　But even without coupons, you can still clear stages; at most, you'll just waste some time looking at the battle logs.

　This kind of concept is roughly defined by the bottom line and definition of "doing things that do not violate the code of chivalry" that can be adjusted at will.

　A passerby holding a coupon and asking Cong Yu for a favor might not be as effective as Yao Chuan Guang and the others casually saying something...

　For the members of the Fuuto Squad, the significance of the "Murayu Usage Coupon" is simply to provide a substitute for saying "This is my lifelong request."

　Therefore, Theredo thought it was useless, and besides, she was thinking about other things: "Also, is the 'Rainfall' usage voucher only valid for using Rainfall?"

　Dente: "?"

　What do you mean?

　While Dente was puzzled, Xiaoying, who was still wiping the cup, shook her head: "I know what you're thinking, but... it doesn't have to be that stingy."

　Stingy... That's Xiaoying's assessment of Teradeo.

　Cong Yu thought the same thing. As he looked at Lan Tianzhu, who had turned his attention back to the book, he replied, "I don't use a pseudonym, and I don't play any word games..."

　"..." In other words, the "Murayu Usage Coupon" is not something as narrow as "doing what Murami's human identity can do".

　If it can indeed be identified as a "King of the Wind City Coupon," then it seems to be somewhat useful.

　With this in mind, Terado readily accepted the voucher as a reward from Blue Sky Nagisa and stuffed it into her pocket.

　Then, he reached out to Dente, who was playing with the voucher.

　Dente: "..."

　Dente paused for a moment, then shrank back warily, somewhat resistant: "What are you doing? Can't we each take one?"

　Theradore rolled her eyes, looking annoyed. "I've already paid you. This is business, it's not like it's 'one bill per person'... Hurry up and hand it over, or I'll whip you with a dollar."

　Ah, that's really true.

　Logically speaking, Theodore actually paid Dente for the book, and the money had already been paid.

　Later, Thereto gifted the book to Blue Sky Nagisa.

　That's roughly the concept of trading.

　"Woooooooo..."

　There was nothing Dente could do but obediently hand over the "Rainy Day Voucher" that she had just warmed up.

　However, Theradore hasn't decided yet what to do with this [Usage Ticket].

　Cong Yu was also happy to have some free time.

　Just then, his phone rang. It was the response from the monster on Linx about being "anxious" to death—the same one they had discussed before.

　[Le: Wow, that's great!]

　[Le: Hahaha, that way we can just sell our stuff without worrying about forming some kind of monster knight order.]

　Oh no, the Monster Knights have turned into a convenience store super team!

　Is this okay?
