Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Yaochuan Guang is the latter of the former. Although he doesn't use his phone, he chose to start chatting with Cong Yu.

　"Ah, you know..."

　Cong Yu responded, lowering her voice, "Hong isn't a professional teacher, so please bear with her—"

　Yaochuan Guang naturally understood what Congyu was talking about... Hong was not a teacher at all, nor even a doctor.

　Instead, she is a genuine magical girl.

　Well, you can imagine what their level of education is like.

　Minato Namikaze, who also heard Cong Yu's words, directly interpreted them as meaning "After all, Ms. Kurenai is the school doctor."

　Well, it's worth mentioning that although "almost none" of the students were paying attention in class, Minato Namikaze was an exception.

　Minato Namikaze, a good student!

　Minato Namikaze, who was listening attentively to Teacher Hong's "Precautions for Interacting with the Opposite Sex," looked at Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang, whose heads were almost touching.

　After a brief moment of thought, he slowly spoke, saying, "Speaking of which, are Cong Yu and Yao Chuan dating?"

　Upon hearing this, Yaochuan Guang's face immediately turned red.

　"To...to date? Mmm..."

　"..." It was more like cohabitation than dating.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu casually glanced at Minato Namikaze, propping his chin up with his hand: "Sort of? More importantly, how are things going between you and Uzumaki-kun?"

　When Cong Yu brought up the topic of himself, Minato Namikaze scratched his head and said, "Haha, well... we'll get married after we graduate."

　So fast! ! !

　That's super fast!!!

　Not only Yaochuan Guang and the classmates around him who also heard these words, even Cong Yu was somewhat shocked... This might be their destined couple.

　Cong Yu gave Minato Namikaze a deep look and said with a blessing, "Your future son will probably be a sunny and cheerful idiot just like you."

　Minato Namikaze: "Eh? Eh? Eh?"

　Is this a compliment? Or is it a joke?

　However, being teased by Cong Yu is indeed a pretty good experience... The original Cong Yu would never joke like this.

　Is that Yaochuan?

　While Minato Namikaze was pondering the matter of "Yokawa-kun changed Murasame!", Hikaru Yokawa was thinking about something else.

　"Speaking of which, Congyu-chan... has Yuanan-kun's brother and Miss Dongshang held their wedding yet? Why haven't they invited us?"

　As Yaochuan Guang asked this, she tilted her head and remembered that she had said before that she would get married during the holidays and invite everyone over.

　Did they secretly get married?

　Cong Yu knew what Yao Chuan Guang meant: "They had a lot of family matters to attend to during that time... so the wedding had to be postponed."

　Huh? Such a major life event as marriage can be postponed?

　Yao Chuanguang was somewhat surprised, but still nodded in understanding: "Is this what it's like to be a member of a large family? It must be tough..."

　Yao Chuanguang misunderstood.

　"It's not just that..."

　Cong Yu shook her head as she spoke, explaining, "It's not just because of family ties, but... they're the only ones in the family who can make the final decision."

　Higashio Ayaka's parents have completely retired, and the Toshiro family originally consisted only of Toshiro Gareth.

　The father was involved in the company's management.

　Now, Gareth on the other side of the shore has become a loving father and son.

　"So there's no other way but to set another auspicious date for the wedding. If they had other people to help, the wedding could have gone ahead as planned... but unfortunately they don't have any helpers who can assist them with business matters."

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang suddenly felt the cruelty of reality, and she immediately thought of... Couldn't Ayari Toganashi help?

　Thinking this way first, Yaochuan Guang immediately imagined a scene where "Alyssa is managing the company".

　It was probably Lisa Ayaka sitting at her desk, her tongue lolling out, looking like she was about to die, rolling her eyes as she stamped things repeatedly.

　Well, Senior Yuan'an should just stick to baking small cakes (sadly).

　-

　School's out!

　"It's my turn to clean today, Xiao Cui, you and Xiu Gou go first—"

　Xiao Cui nodded in response to what Nagashima Koki said, and led Takemikazuchi, who had come to visit her at Fudo High School, out of the school gate.

　Yes, Kenmikazuchi has wandered to Fuuto again.

　Xiu Gou Wang, who was wandering around aimlessly, randomly picked a spot with a bench to lie down and sunbathe his belly, only to be spotted by Nagashima Koki, who was playing on the playground after class.

　Yes, Kenjiro was sleeping on a stone bench next to the playground of Fudo High School.

　"Oh, I just felt that the flow of magic in Fengdu was a bit off. That's why I came here to play. Turns out it was you, Xiao Cui, who did it."

　As Jian Yu Lei said this, he leaned on Xiao Cui's shoulder and pondered, "No wonder he's Cong Yu's son, his techniques are way more exaggerated than others."

　What do you mean, "Cong Yu's son"? I'm not Cong Yu's daughter.

　Wait, this is bad... What if Brother Congyu really only sees me as a daughter? It's okay if I'm a sister, but I feel like there's really no chance of me being a daughter.

　With these worries in mind, Xiao Cui walked home with a heavy heart, intending to buy drinks with Jian Yulei.

　Xiao Cui and Jian Yu Lei have formed a beverage alliance and decided to try all the drinks from the vending machines near Fangpian Park.

　I'll try everything, no matter how delicious or bad it looks.

　Then, based on their tastes, they rated the drinks, ranked them, and posted the results on the Fengdu Forum.

　Because it was Xiao Cui who paid for it, Jianming could only be the second author.

　Then, at this time...

　The two noticed that a little girl was slowly approaching them... she was approaching them with a purpose.

　Has something happened?

　Amid their curiosity, the little girl blinked and spoke up: "Um, I'm here to apologize."

　As she spoke, the little girl explained to Xiao Cui and Jian Yu Lei, who were looking at her with confusion—"What apology? Did they mistake me for someone else?"

　"I am from the 17th Group, and I want to apologize to you for what happened to our leader... really, Red Bean Paste Secret Marseille."

　To express her apology, the little girl bowed at a 90-degree angle.

　Chapter 596 Is it acting?

　Do you know you are wrong?

　No, the 17th Group only knew that they were going to die.

　……

　Xiao Cui was very clear about this, and she resolutely shook her head, refusing the other party's apology: "No, I don't accept it."

　By saying this, Xiao Cui clearly told the little girl who represented the 17th Group: "You apologized because you failed."

　“If you had succeeded in kidnapping me, things would obviously be a different story… So, I will not forgive you.”

　Jian Yulei, who had jumped down from Xiao Cui's shoulder, thought Xiao Cui's words made a lot of sense and immediately put his hands on his hips to chime in: "We will not forgive! We will not forgive!"

　After Xiao Cui finished speaking, the other party did not react much, but maintained their bowing posture: "Yes, so we don't expect your forgiveness, we just came to apologize... We are really very sorry!"

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　In that instant, Xiao Cui understood... Sure enough, if she wasn't afraid of Brother Cong Yu, the other party wouldn't have backed down so easily.

　Because what the other person was referring to was "you all".

　Takemikazuchi seemed hesitant because of the other party's behavior. It nudged Xiao Cui's trouser leg and asked, "Oh, what should we do?"

　"Ignorant, simple-minded stray animal," asked Takemikazuchi.

　As for what to do, Xiao Cui had already thought it through... just like when she was at the company before.

　“The ringleader, the accomplice, and the person who connected you.”

　Xiao Cui listed them off in detail, gesturing to the other person, and said, "We will kill these people... Of course, there are also 'those who know the truth,' those who know but don't report it, they should also be killed."

　This statement is essentially equivalent to saying, "Others may not be, but since you've apologized, you're definitely someone who knows the truth and are doomed."

　As for Xiao Cui, who had put things directly to the point, the little girl acting as the mediator looked sad: "That's good."

　"The mastermind is already dead, and besides me, there are very few other people who know the truth."

　“My father, the leader of the 17th Group, died in Fengdu yesterday… I wanted to stop it, but I was powerless and was imprisoned.”

　"Someone like me met a father like this... Perhaps this is my destiny."

　It was destined to end, but I'm truly sorry.

　"..." Xiao Cui: "..."

　-

　"So you didn't kill him on the spot?"

　Cong Yu said this, looking at Xiao Cui who had been silent after explaining the situation: "The other party is most likely acting."

　Was it an act?

　Is it acting skills?

　Xiao Cui asked this question, and Cong Yu nodded naturally: "It's acting, it's the other party's acting in order to survive."

　Although that's what she said, Cong Yu wouldn't say anything like, "So, Xiao Cui, even if it's just for my sake, open the Fairy Village to her!"

　It would be really bad if Xiao Cui turned into Agni.

　"The reason is simple: strange people can't have daughters."

　Cong Yu gave a simple explanation, glancing at Lan Tianzhu and Hong who were curiously listening over... Yao Chuan Guang was cooking.

　"If she's called an adopted daughter, then the concept of kinship will always feel a little awkward if she's not one's biological daughter... Of course, it's not always the case."

　Although it falls into the category of hellish jokes, Cong Yu still thinks... Xiao Cui should be the one who understands this best.

　"That girl from the 17th Group created a pitiful image for herself... She had unrealistic expectations of her father's love but did not receive good treatment in return."

　"Kindness, upon learning of the 17th Group's plan, wanted to inform the 'King of Wind City,' but was placed under house arrest and unable to relay the message."

　"He was not released from confinement until news of his father's death reached him, and then he immediately came to Fuuto to apologize for what had happened before."

　Cong Yu summarized the persona that the little girl from the 17th Group had created for herself, shaking his head helplessly: "Xiao Cui, the reason you're lost in thought like this is because of your 'empathy,' and that's exactly what the other party wants."

　Not only Cong Yu, but also Lan Tianzhu, who was used to seeing similar things, nodded: "Ah, I can guarantee that the other party is a fake."

　"It must have been created specifically for you after studying your experiences and personality, Xiao Cui... There might be some truth to it, but not much."

　Hearing even Sister Lantian say the same thing, Xiao Cui couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Indeed, it's a bit... too similar to me."

　Because the other party knew that Xiao Cui's family background was terrible, they created the image of a daughter with a "terrible father" to negotiate with her.

　However, Xiao Cui was very confident in her eyesight.

　"But the sadness, composure, and helplessness in the other person's eyes when they spoke... didn't seem fake."

　As she spoke, Xiao Cui recalled what happened on her way home from school: "Moreover, the calmness that the child showed meant that he was not afraid of death... Since he was not afraid of death, then the other party's apology was probably sincere."

　"..." Why are you still calling him "that child"?

　"Well, well, it's not that they're not afraid of death. I suspect that's precisely because they're afraid of death that they're acting so nonchalant..."

　Hong, holding the remote, switched TV channels: "If I'm not mistaken, the 'child' you mentioned will be the next head of the group."

　"..." It is indeed possible, but it is not necessarily true.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu stroked Xiao Cui's head: "The 17th Group is the standard group, and it is very different from the 22nd Group."

　"The position of leader is coveted by many, and it's not impossible that the 'former leader's adopted daughter' is among them."

　"The 17th Group's plan was actually quite well-executed, defeating you in the shortest possible time, without even giving you time to send me a message."

　"The only problem is that they lost."
