Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　One person held a weapon that looked like a cannon, while the other held a light blue chain.

　The two kept a close eye on the dissipating smoke, preparing to launch an attack the moment Kazuki Rusui emerged, lest anything go wrong.

　"Ahhhh!!!"

　"A strange attack! It's a strange attack!!!"

　"Run!"

　"..." Amid the noise, passersby on the street began to report the incident while fleeing as quickly as possible, just like always.

　The only thing that seemed off was the radio broadcast, which hadn't been playing for a long time.

　Logically, after pressing "Tap to warn of a strange attack" on a mobile phone, a "Warning! Warning" announcement should sound soon.

　But it didn't happen...

　At this moment, apart from the panicked screams of passersby and the hissing sound of the strange beings accumulating magical power, the surrounding streets were silent.

　The strange man's announcement did not sound.

　Aside from these sounds, there was nothing else in the surrounding area... to the point that you could hear the flapping of mosquitoes' wings.

　A buzzing sound, the sound of countless wings flapping at high speed.

　Then, in the next instant, a flash of cold light, hidden behind a fleeing human who was passing by three strange figures, suddenly leaped forward.

　Little sprite, here we come!

　The sharp spear in his hand was pointed at the forehead of the strange man imbued with magic... aimed at a vital spot, without a doubt.

　"!!!" Completely unexpected to be attacked from that direction, the strange man was clearly stunned for a moment, and his hand, which was filled with magic, also pointed in that direction.

　At that instant, the technique was launched.

　The magic bullet in his left hand instantly struck the charging sprite, and the explosion of magic instantly engulfed the sprite.

　But it wasn't just that one...

　A little fairy mage hiding in the distance had three rapidly spinning miniature drills condensed on its cute little staff.

　Although small, its penetrating power is still astonishing.

　Just as the sprite, acting as the vanguard, was engulfed by the spell, the drill spell in the mage sprite's hand immediately flew out.

　The spell's objective aligns with the original objective of the "Soldier's" spirit—to directly target the opponent's head and throat.

　Fire!!!

　Perhaps this is what is meant by exchanging pieces.

　Xiao Cui's forces were also sufficient for her to exchange...

　Xiao Cui's "Little Elf Spreading Plan" is centered on Fengdu and gradually spreads outward from the little elves.

　In just a short time, dozens of little sprites scattered across the land will gather... and as time goes by, more and more will gather.

　The problem is, Xiao Cui needs this time.

　And under the siege... especially under the siege of monsters who are even more professional than those magical girls who were previously known as the "top 100 in America".

　Xiao Cui finds it difficult to squeeze out these times.

　and so……

　"Reduce their numbers!"

　With this vow, Xiao Cui led the two newly summoned sprites out of the dust and formed a pincer movement with the first sprite to arrive.

　The sharp elven spikes pointed directly at the strange man's chest.

　The mage sprites were in charge of the head, while Xiao Cui personally led the soldier sprites to destroy the opponent's heart.

　throat, heart, brain...

　If the latter two are destroyed at the same time, the most important "reduction" can be achieved, so it doesn't matter if you are attacked in the process.

　Even if she is seriously injured, it doesn't matter. Xiao Cui can rely on her Pokémon to deal with the situation... The injury will not affect Xiao Cui's normal combat.

　During this time, one can use magic to slowly recover.

　But as long as you can reduce enemy numbers, then the enemy will truly suffer losses. You need to know this when you are under siege.

　One against two and one against three are completely different concepts.

　Xiao Cui understood this principle, so she targeted that strange person and prepared to eliminate him as quickly as possible.

　"What?!"

　The strange man turned his head sharply, his pupils dilating in that instant... He realized that he seemed to have been used as a weak point.

　No, he doesn't want to die!!!

　At this moment, this strange man, at the fastest speed he had ever seen, began to strengthen the defenses on his body, determined to protect his heart.

　Unfortunately, it was too late.

　Xiao Cui's calculations were quite perfect, taking into account the current situation—having just used his magic to launch an attack spell, he was unable to launch an emergency counterattack.

　Hmm... it should have been too late.

　……

　But at this moment...

　"boom!"

　A terrifying gust of wind from the fist struck Xiao Cui from the side, completely...

　It blows away the smoke and dust of the flames while striking with explosive force.

　The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

　The...fourth enemy?!

　Xiao Cui only had time to glance to the side out of the corner of her eye, and only had time to observe that the enemy was a muscular and burly man.

　Before she could even make a judgment and try to minimize her injury from the fewest angles possible... she was hit.

　"bump!!!!!"

　The immense force struck Xiao Cui's side instantly, and amidst the cracking and popping of bones, Xiao Cui, who had been advancing, was sent hurtling towards the ground.

　Then, it left a heavy imprint on the street!

　"boom!!!!!!"

　Amidst the deafening roar, Xiao Cui was slammed into the ground, creating a cracked crater in the road surface. Her body, lying within the crater, was also abnormally twisted.

　Without a doubt, the bones... especially the bones on the right side of the body, were in extremely poor condition after the attack.

　Although the transformation has not yet been reversed, the game is not yet at a dead end.

　However... the current battle situation is clearly not optimistic.

　Xiao Cui's forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain. Looking at the fourth strange man joining the battle... Oh no, her fighting spirit was starting to dissipate, and her mind was starting to wander.

　Was he really on the verge of unconsciousness after just one blow?

　……

　Will I die?

　Will I, Xiao Cui, die here?

　Chapter 586 First Formal Launch

　"Huh...huh..."

　The strange man was breathing heavily, as if he had just been rescued from drowning... he was almost dead.

　It really was a close call with death.

　"Boss! You saved me!"

　The strange man thanked the leader of the 17th Group with delight, then glared resentfully at Xiao Cui lying on the ground: "These magical girls nowadays are so cunning! So cunning!!!"

　In response, the strange woman holding the "cannon" curled her lip and said, "Aren't you just too stupid?"

　The lizard-like female monster had a different opinion: "Indeed cunning... In less than a minute, that magical girl had figured out how to counterattack."

　The leader of the 17th Group didn't mince words in response to the strange man's words; instead, he immediately rushed towards Xiao Cui, who had fallen to the ground.

　Come to think of it, this magical girl looks somewhat familiar...

　So that's how it is. Rusui Kazuki is the magical girl Midori from the Fuuto Squad? I heard the Fuuto Squad has some connection with the King of Fuuto.

　That's really...

　“What an unexpected surprise!”

　Laughing so arrogantly, the leader of the 17th Group was about to punch Xiao Cui in the heart: "Killing two birds with one stone, huh!"

　"Using you to threaten Yongshima, you can also threaten the King of Fengdu at the same time... Fengdu is already mine!!!"

　"..."

　"asshole……"

　With blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Cui cursed as she struggled to get up and move around, trying to use her shattered bones to do so.

　However, perhaps we should have known sooner.

　Whenever I'm the one being targeted, it's because the enemy is trying to use me to threaten Brother Congyu... Why is it always like this?

　It makes her seem like a burden.

　Xiao Cui didn't want to be used to threaten Cong Yu. But she was also worried that Cong Yu wouldn't be swayed by her threats at all.

　As Xiao Cui struggled to her feet and began to condense her magic, the muscular leader of the Seventeenth Group immediately prepared to throw a punch.

　"Give it to me! Lie down!"

　As he roared, he pulled his arm back like a bow... a bow ready to be drawn, which would pierce Xiao Cui's heart.

　After that, all he needed to do was keep Kazuki Rusui alive with his magic while preparing to escape Futo to avoid trouble.

　And then came the complete victory of the 17th Group!

　"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"

　but……

　The sudden, intermittent, and intense pain that pierced his arm disrupted his attack.

　They are a group of little elves.

　Rusui Kazuki controls countless little fairies...

　"..."

　"Huh...huh..."

　Xiao Cui took deep breaths, panting heavily as she continued to exhaust herself. Covered in blood, she was multitasking...

　While controlling the sprite and attacking four strange enemies, she crawled towards the building, trying to hide her true form as much as possible; at the same time, she controlled her magic to heal her injuries, preparing for the future.

　"go to hell!!!"

　Flames shot out from the monster's cannon toward "Xiao Cui"... Block them, control them, and pierce through her palm.

　“Ha… huh… ha…”

　Lying on the ground, Xiao Cui was panting. She was controlling countless little sprites at the same time, and she felt inexplicably tired... which shouldn't have been the case.

　But at this moment, she was already feeling quite weary.

　He was already on the verge of unconsciousness, but he still had to expend a lot of energy to fight and drag his body around.

　The brain also has to simultaneously receive countless images from countless little sprites and piece them together to form the current state of the battlefield.

　"Chains! Restrain her!"

　From the strange man's hand

　In the middle, there are chains that are spreading and flying... This is unpredictable, and you have to dodge them yourself.

　In a very short time, Xiao Cui made a decision. Gritting her teeth, she used her limp arms to push off the ground, lunged forward a short distance, and then rolled around a few times.
