Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Even if she finds out they are two scumbags who are like adoptive parents, Xiao Cui won't care much... because she never had any expectations in the first place.

　Without expectations, there will be no sadness.

　Just as Xiao Cui was so certain, Yongdao Xiaoxi turned her head as if she had thought of something and said, "Oh right, Congyu-gege and Xiao Cui! Doctor!"

　Nagashima Koki, calling out the three names, proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "I want to be a hunter parent when I grow up. What do you guys think?"

　Cong Yu: "Huh?"

　Doctor: "Huh?"

　Xiao Cui: "Huh?"

　Amid the three's confusion, Nagashima Koki cleared her throat and shared her previously conceived "career plan" with them.

　"..." The doctor remained silent in response.

　“Hey… this…”

　Xiao Cui was about to spout nonsense.

　"6"

　Only Cong Yu gave it such high praise: "Very good, very creative and interesting!"

　Then, under the doctor's and Xiao Cui's "Are you serious?" expressions, Cong Yu and Yongdao Xiaoxi exchanged a knowing smile.

　Then, under Nagashima Koki's expression of "Wow! Handsome brother, you understand me so well!", Cong Yu added: "After you graduate from high school, you can talk to your mother about it... If she agrees, I will give you my full support."

　Upon hearing this, Nagashima Koki's face immediately fell.

　"Huh? My mom won't agree... And if I still have to go to school, wouldn't it be pointless to be a parent hunter?"

　"That's what Nagashima Koki said."

　In response, Cong Yu immediately clenched her fists and placed her knuckles on either side of Nagashima Koki's temples: "So it's just because you don't want to go to school!"

　Feeling the threat from both sides of her head, Nagashima Koki, who had experienced similar attacks countless times, was so frightened that her legs almost went weak.

　In response, she quickly offered a flimsy excuse—

　"Handsome brother, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to go to school, I just don't want to go to school."

　Xiao Cui, Doctor: What's the difference?

　"Enough talk, Xiao Xi, just you get ready!"

　As he said this, Cong Yu's hands flew up and started drilling: "This drill that pierces the sky, the Crimson Lotus Spiral!"

　Nagashima Koki: "Awoooooo!!!!"

　-

　"Waaaaah, I'm not going to be one anymore... I'm not going to be a horse hunter anymore."

　Nagashima Koki walked home with a long face, then immediately put on a smug expression: "That damned Murasame! I'm going to get my revenge!"

　Nagashima Koki smiled slyly as she called Cong Yu by her name: "I've decided, if I talk to Xiao Cui during class and affect her grades, I'll make Cong Yu regret it!"

　As she said this, Nagashima Koki played with the little sprite on her shoulder while looking at her own shadow: "Sister Koki, what do you think?"

　Xiaoying: "..."

　Even if you talk to Xiao Cui for a hundred years, in the end, the only thing that will affect you is your own academic performance... However, Xiao Ying did not intend to explain this point.

　But your mother will make your temples sing haiku.

　Chapter 614 The slap in Fengsha Village, only today do I realize who I am.

　Qingshan Yushu Crystal Lake Welfare Home.

　This is the name of the orphanage where Xiao Cui once stayed... How should I put it? After learning the name, Cong Yu remained silent for a long time.

　However, in the end, I didn't complain about anything.

　Or perhaps they will react in some particularly strong way...

　However, her resolve to accompany Xiao Cui to that orphanage strengthened a bit... even though these strange things weren't pure enough in front of the magical girl.

　But if it's true, it's still a bit scary...

　It's not good if it scares the plants, even if it doesn't scare people.

　Just as Cong Yu had expected, in addition to Lan Tianzhu and Hong who were still guarding the house, Yao Chuan Guang also enthusiastically joined the "Xiao Cui's search for relatives" team.

　It became part of the tadpole's plan to find its mother.

　"Oh, so this is it..."

　Like Nagisa Azuma before him, this was the first time Hikaru Yokawa had seen the Jormungandr Train... or more precisely, the first time he had boarded it as a passenger.

　"Little Blue mentioned it before, Yormungand!"

　Regarding Yaochuan Guang's sudden use of foreign languages...

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　In the awkward silence, Cong Yu looked at Yao Chuan Guang and tried to say, "You mean Jrmungandr?"

　Yaochuan Guang immediately nodded in agreement.

　Ah yes, yes, that's what she wanted to say, but her pronunciation wasn't quite right... After all, she's a native of Fengdu.

　This level of English pronunciation is so bad that anyone who knows it will understand.

　In the heart

　After a three-second moment of silence for the Japanese people's English speaking skills, Cong Yu stood up from her seat and said, "Okay, we've arrived."

　As Cong Yu spoke, Yao Chuan Guang, who had just opened a box of cookies and was munching on a cookie, widened his eyes: "Huh? So fast?"

　How slow can it be to Fengsha Village?

　Even a private car only takes a few hours to travel, while the Jormungandr train is naturally faster than a private car.

　The same applies even without using acceleration mode.

　Yao Chuan Guang, who had given up on the cookies and got off the bus, looked at the giant snake that served as her means of transportation with some emotion, her face full of sighs as she turned her head.

　"Ah, the last time I saw the Jormungandr train was when Xiaolan and I were being beaten up by that mean-spirited Congyu-chan."

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang, who had somewhat forgotten the details, pondered for a moment: "During the sports meet, it was..."

　Recalling the sports meet, Cong Yu showed off her acting skills in front of her, Xiao Lan, and Senior Qi Li and her apprentice.

　It was abrupt, or rather, hilarious...

　Only now did Hikaru Yokawa finally realize something, his eyes widening: "Ah, Murasame-chan, back then..."

　"When you summoned the Jormungandr train, pretending it wasn't powerful enough, and knocked down the magical girl Sora☆Kirei... was it simply to scare her?"

　of course.

　It's astonishing that Yaochuan Guang only realized this now... Qili herself realized this the moment she learned that Congyu was the King of Fengdu.

　However, Qili, whose emotional intelligence is not low, would not mention this matter.

　"Oh no!"

　Yao Chuan Guang commented on Cong Yu, then looked away from Cong Yu, who was still grinning mischievously, and helped Xiao Cui get off the bus.

　Xiao Cui, who was originally preparing to land gracefully, was forced to act like a well-behaved child, holding Yao Chuan Guang's hand...

　The two watched the giant snake gradually disappear and fade into nothingness, surveying the deserted alley... Cong Yu chose to appear in an inconspicuous place.

　This is as always.

　The group walked out of the alley, and Xiao Cui checked the directions: "Oh, we seem to be not far from the Kazukiru Onsen Ryokan now... The welfare home is over here."

　As she said this, Xiao Cui pointed out the way.

　As Yaochuan Guang followed along, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "By the way, speaking of which, are the hot spring inns still open?"

　Previously, Xiao Cui and Cong Yu gave Yao Chuan Guang the excuse that "they entrusted other relatives of the Xiang Yue Ru family to run the business."

　But now she knows that the Kazuki family is not a prominent family, and the relatives on Xiao Cui's parents' side have never spoken to each other.

　Therefore, it's impossible for them to have any relatives.

　"I entrusted the group to manage it."

　As she said this, Cong Yu recognized the road; she had walked it before when she came to Fengsha Village: "Business seems to be quite good."

　Yao Chuanguang was also helpless in the face of Cong Yu's words: "So, why did Xiao Cui's adoptive parents still let her steal things... However, they can still be saved. At least they realized their mistake and turned themselves in."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　Cong Yu: "Haha, that's how it is."

　Yao Chuanguang still doesn't know that Cong Yu has a "Hydra Mark," and always feels that it's some kind of strange ability that exists in the course of events.

　Xiao Cui understood this as well and wouldn't reveal this information to Yao Chuan: "No, they're beyond saving... not because they know they're wrong, but because they're afraid of dying."

　Yao Chuanguang immediately fell silent in response.

　She'd seen plenty of people like that... but they were Xiao Cui's parents after all, even if they were just adoptive parents.

　So Xiao Cui can complain, but Yao Chuan Guang won't chime in.

　As mentioned before, Hikari Yokawa may seem like a hot-blooded idiot, but she is actually a very polite magical girl.

　(Chapter 191)

　While Yaochuan was pondering how to respond, several children by the roadside gathered together, watching them curiously.

　"That's a thief from the Kazuki family."

　"Hahaha...the thief's daughter."

　"Magical girls, what a disgrace."

　"..." Over there, there seemed to be several of Xiao Cui's peers, who looked to be either in the first year of junior high school or in the fifth or sixth grade.

　They are children of the same generation.

　Yaochuan Guang and Congyu immediately looked over there, their brows furrowed... Xiaocui, on the other hand, didn't care at all, her face full of contempt.

　She was already used to it.

　They had already learned to remain silent, and now they were even less concerned... After all, they were no longer from the same world.

　However, the children who were initially hesitant to acknowledge Xiao Cui's disregard became even bolder.

　Their parents seemed to be chatting and laughing not far away, making no attempt to stop their children from doing so.

　“My mother said she was a money-loser.”

　"Buying it is a losing proposition."

　“My dad had said before that Rusui Kazuki was going to be sold, and that I shouldn’t play with her.”

　"Hehe, cheap goods, sell them."

　"..." Yaochuan Guang couldn't help but stop in his tracks, his expression not very good: "Hmm... That's too much."

　Xiao Cui didn't care at all, waving her hand casually: "Don't bother with them, they're just a bunch of clowns..."

　"..."

　However, Cong Yu stopped at this moment, which made Xiao Cui look at him... What does Brother Cong Yu think?

　Xiao Cui couldn't help but think this way. She wondered if Brother Cong Yu shared the same thoughts as Sister Yao Chuan, or if he shared the same indifference as her.

　Either way is possible, and she would be happy either way.

　Cong Yu, who once held the latter mindset but now thinks the former, is laughing: "Haha, Xiao Cui... I have an idea—"

　As Cong Yu said this, he came up with a good idea.

　Xiao Cui: "Hmm?"

　At Xiao Cui's question, Cong Yu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. He simply pointed to the laughing and talking children and directed them—

　“Go slap them twice and see if they still act crazy. If their parents try to stop them, slap them too, beat them so badly they can’t eat lunch.”

　Cong Yu made this suggestion.
