Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Two-thirds of the sofa was occupied.

　One leg was placed under the sofa, and the other leg was tucked behind Cong Yu, wedged between the sofa back and Cong Yu's back.

　That's just incredibly rude.

　However, since he was at home, Cong Yu didn't make any accusations... He was thinking about it now.

　I'm wondering what Little Blue tastes like.

　What?! Cong Yu is going to eat children?!

　Of course not, the "flavor" here is still the fragrance mentioned before... Cong Yu thought and thought but couldn't figure out what Lantianzhu tasted like.

　When they were sitting very close together at the beach, almost kissing, Cong Yu didn't smell anything.

　When everyone went to sleep together at night, Cong Yu didn't seem to smell any fragrance on Lan Tianzhu...

　This piqued Cong Yu's curiosity.

　So, Cong Yu immediately leaned closer, and under Lan Tianzhu's curious gaze, sniffed the area around her stomach and then her hair.

　Okay... it just smells like shower gel and laundry detergent.

　It seems that Xiao Lan either really doesn't have much body odor, or her scent is so faint that it's completely masked by the shower gel.

　While Cong Yu was analyzing, Lan Tianzhu's gaze changed from curiosity to surprise—was Cong Yu really the type to do such a thing?

　That's not right. In this house, shouldn't I be the one smelling other people's scents... cough cough.

　The other three also witnessed this and were similarly surprised.

　Of course, Yaochuan Guang's surprise only included the "Congyu's character design" part, not the part about "Shouldn't it be Sister Lantian who did this kind of thing?"

　Lan Tianzhu quickly came to her correct answer after some thought: "Cong Yu, you may have been influenced by Xiao Guang and become dog-like."

　Yao Chuanguang: "??!"

　This sounds like some kind of zombie virus infection or even meme contamination... Dogification would be more appropriate.

　Cong Yu: "???"

　What?! Little Blue, you rascal!

　Yaochuan Guang is furious!

　"Tianwu Killing Dao·Killing Blue Dao!"

　"Gah--"

　……

　Lan Tianzhu, died.

　He died at the age of... that's a secret.

　……

　Of course, this is impossible.

　Before Yaochuan Guang could punish him, Lantian Zhu, with a righteous and stern expression, reached out and refused: "Xiao Guang, don't do this... I'm very vulnerable right now."

　At this moment, Lan Tianzhu can only barely lie on the sofa and roll around. If he were to wrestle or pull at others...

　Perhaps all they can do is be themselves in the fire.

　"Ah this..."

　Yaochuan Guang's sinful hand remained suspended in mid-air, and in the end, he could only sit down next to Cong Yu in disappointment.

　This makes the already limited sofa space even worse.

　So, you actually came here just to freeload, right?

　Cong Yu thought to herself, then explained her earlier behavior: "What dog... I was just curious about what Lan Tianzhu smelled like."

　"That's a terrible thing to say," Cong Yu continued to defend herself, "I eat and then sleep, I sleep and then eat, and I just laze around on the sofa all day."

　"Isn't this just a typical forty-year-old office worker? So I was wondering if Lan Tianzhu had a middle-aged vibe about him?"

　"However, when I smelled it, I found that it had no smell at all."

　As Cong Yu played with his phone, he saw a message from Nagashima Riko and his lips twitched twice.

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "???"

　Now, it is Lan Tianzhu who is filled with rage.

　Blue Sky Nagisa! She's furious!

　"Damn it, Cong Yu! Tianwu Kill..."

　Before Lan Tianzhu could finish speaking, Yao Chuanguang grabbed him and said, "Haha, Lan, don't mess around. You're very vulnerable right now."

　Oh no, we've been hit by the same spell!

　Chapter 618 Xiao Xi is Pretending to be Foolish

　[Riko Nagashima: Um, excuse me.]

　[Riko Nagashima: Mr. Murasame, are you there?]

　[Cong Yu: Hmm.]

　[Nagashima Riko: It's like this, it may be sudden, but it seems like Nozomi committed murder.]

　[Riko Nagashima: Um... what should we do?]

　"..." Cong Yu's lips twitched... What should we do?

　To be honest, Cong Yu didn't understand what Nagashima Riko was saying, nor did he know what Nagashima Riko had seen or experienced.

　It's not that he killed someone, but that he was killed.

　Why do you sound so bewildered?

　[Cong Yu: Tell me in detail what happened.]

　[Nagashima Riko: Um, well... here's the thing.]

　-

　Riko Nagashima returned home from Osa Village today, Saturday night... She had originally planned to return to Kaze City over the weekend.

　But in theory, I should be going home around Sunday.

　What made her decide to go home ahead of time was the recent rumors circulating in Fengsha Village... It was said that a madman who used to live in Fengsha Village had recently returned.

　They were beating people everywhere in Fengsha Village, especially children and parents with children. Many people have already been hospitalized.

　Riko Nagashima wasn't afraid of being beaten.

　However, sensing that things were about to get chaotic in Fengsha Village, Riko Nagashima, who had almost finished dealing with the matter, hurriedly took a car back to Futo.

　Riko Nagashima got off the bus and started walking home.

　Then, in the darkness of night, a shocking scene unfolded.

　It was her own daughter, Nagashima Koki.

　Putting aside why Nagashima Koki would still be wandering around outside at eight or nine o'clock... maybe she just came back from the company.

　The crux of the matter is that his daughter dragged a corpse into the alley, and then walked away looking around.

　Yes, the key issue isn't my own daughter.

　It was his own daughter who was dragging the corpse...

　Riko Nagashima, who was watching from afar, almost fainted, but she didn't actually pass out.

　After all, I know my own daughter best.

　Riko Nagashima knew exactly what kind of child Nozomi Nagashima was; in fact, she could say she had... anticipated it all along.

　Even after witnessing this moment, there was a sense of relief and liberation.

　Similar to "Ah, the moment has finally come."

　However, as Riko Nagashima suppressed her nausea and clung to the thought that she might see a mangled corpse, she looked toward the alley.

　But they found that there was nothing in the alley.

　There was nothing but darkness itself, reflected under the streetlights.

　[Cong Yu: It sounds like a horror movie.]

　[Cong Yu: Or a suspense film?]

　[Nagashima Riko: Yeah, and I'm on my way home now, texting you to find out what to do next... and what about Nozomi?]

　[Cong Yu: This situation requires separate consideration.]

　[Cong Yu: For example...did Nagashima Koki actually kill someone? If so, who did she kill?]

　[Cong Yu: I'm inclined to believe that someone else has set their sights on the Nagashima family's ability to see through pretense, only to be outmaneuvered and killed by Koki.]

　[Cong Yu: The body that was dragged into the darkness and disappeared... must have been sent into the world of shadows by the bodyguard named "Xiao Ying" who was protecting Xiao Xi.]

　[Riko Nagashima: The world of shadows, huh? What does that mean?]

　[Cong Yu: Hmm, literally... Why don't you just ask Nagashima Koki yourself? Besides, killing someone is perfectly normal.]

　[Cong Yu: It could also be a drunkard, a delirious homeless person, a perverted lolicon, or something like that... It would be better to kill him.]

　[Cong Yu: The group will handle everything.]

　I see, so Nagashima Riko is relieved now... Yeah, right!

　When Riko Nagashima heard about the "drunken vagrant" and the "perverted lolicon," she immediately became worried about her daughter.

　Although Riko Nagashima knew that in that situation, the person she should be more worried about was actually the guy who had his eye on Nozomi.

　However, she is, after all, a mother.

　A mother's love is emotional and doesn't require overly rational thinking; she only needs to worry about her daughter's safety.

　"Xiao Xi, I'm back!"

　Riko Nagashima unlocked her front door with her key and looked around the house... There was no one in the living room.

　There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

　From the bathroom came Nagashima Koki's panicked voice: "Ah? Mom, you're back... I'm washing away blood... oops, I mean, taking a bath."

　Did you let it slip?

　It's obvious you let something slip, isn't it?

　Riko Nagashima was shocked, then immediately noticed something and looked at the TV cabinet next to the TV, where she saw a small creature on it.

　A creature resembling a fairy from a fairy tale perched on the TV cabinet, gazing at Riko Nagashima with innocent eyes.

　The wings on its back flapped gently.

　"???" Riko Nagashima was shocked, shocked once again: "Nozomi! This little fairy-like animal... is it your friend?"

　Nagashima Koki's voice was also surprised by her mother's words: "Eh? Mom, you found out about the little fairy?"

　Discovered?

　Is there any possibility that we haven't discovered?!

　As Riko Nagashima's eyes widened, the little sprite realized that something seemed wrong and stood there motionless.

　It was probably disguised as a figurine or sculpture.

　However, it's too late to start pretending now!

　Riko Nagashima, who had a lot of complaints she couldn't express, didn't know what to say and could only try to sort out her thoughts.

　We've returned to the initial question.

　“Xiao Xi, you don’t need to hide it from me anymore, I saw it with my own eyes… You dragged the body into the alley, and Cong Yu said the group will help you cover it up.”

　As Nagashima Riko said this, she was gesturing for her daughter to tell the truth, but it was clear that Nagashima Koki was not being honest.

　"Huh? Mommy, are you talking about gods and demons? Mommy must have misread it..."

　Nagashima Koki said this in a feignedly naive tone: "The body was disposed of by Koki, I don't know anything about it."
