Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Hasn't that already been explained?

　The "Little Shadow" that my daughter was talking about... is the "Little Shadow who protects Nagashima Nozomi" that Cong Yu mentioned?

　With this thought in mind, a dark shadow gradually emerged from the shadows beneath the coffee table, and under Riko Nagashima's gaze, it transformed into human form.

　It was simply a black humanoid figure, but behind it floated some pitch-black cone-shaped objects, like a floating cannon.

　Wow! What's this? Is it Master Xiaoying?

　But it doesn't quite look like it.

　Riko Nagashima subconsciously

　Startled, she couldn't help but take a step back...

　"Don't be afraid, I am Xiaoying No.99. You can still call me Xiaoying. I was commissioned by an internal organization to protect Yongdao Xiaoxi."

　As she said this, Xiaoying paused, "Xiaoxi did kill someone, but the other party was a bad person... and I handled it very cleanly, so there's no need to worry."

　That's good……

　However, this was the first time that Riko Nagashima had such a real feeling of "being in another world," and she only experienced it after joining the group for a long time.

　This is the truth behind the group of eccentric individuals.

　The dark side of the world: killing and being killed.

　Chapter 619 Little Xi's Killing Spree—

　【Give】

　Holding up the sign, Xiaoying No.7 pushed up her glasses and handed a book to Xiaoying No.99.

　As both are Xiaoying, the two don't need to communicate much.

　The two share the same memories.

　Almost every second, everyone's memories and skills are stored in the Shadow System.

　It's like a repository of memories/skills.

　You can choose to access the data synchronously at any time.

　Therefore, the communication between Xiaoying is usually very brief and concise... The main purpose of communication is to save time of synchronizing memories.

　Moreover, the main reason for "conciseness" is that if it is not concise, then Xiaoying, whose number is within the hundreds, will have increasingly poor language skills.

　It's not just about language skills.

　Including various bodily functions, they will gradually begin to deviate from human characteristics... such as whether or not they need to eat.

　The Shadow series, whose serial numbers begin with 10,000, must be fed three meals a day, just like humans, in order for the entire Shadow series to function properly.

　The students in the No. 10 and below in the film industry are already speaking as if they are stuttering... no, as if they are uttering one word at a time.

　Rather than forcing words out, it's much more convenient to hold up a sign like the main body of the Great Shadow... especially when talking to outsiders.

　Talking to other Xiaoying characters is far less troublesome.

　After all, even without holding up signs, communication can still be achieved through uploading and syncing.

　However, the more they resemble humans, the more terrifying their fighting power becomes – humanoid monsters.

　This is the power that the Great Shadow possesses.

　Aside from the most basic split, the Great Shadow is an autonomous Arrancar... cough cough, an unorthodox form of autonomous transformation.

　Da Ying's physical body is naturally very strong. With his powerful body, it's no problem for him to cut from East Street to West Street without even blinking!

　At this moment, Xiaoying No.7's meaning is also easy to understand... She borrowed a book from the BOSS and is now asking Xiaoying No.99 to take it back.

　As for Xiaoying... referring to Xiaoying No. 99, she simply nodded, casually took the book, and headed to the BOSS's room.

　When Xiaoying was with Yongdao Xiaoxi at the group, she naturally had the opportunity to break away from the protected Yongdao Xiaoxi and do some reporting and her own private matters.

　What? You're saying this might be dangerous?

　There might be, but it would be very small.

　If Nagashima Koki can be killed in the BOSS room, then the 22nd Group is probably doomed too.

　At worst, it makes it seem like the BOSS can't defeat the intruders.

　When there are no intruders, the BOSS is probably the one most likely to attract intruders, but when there are intruders...

　With the BOSS protecting you, you're really quite safe.

　Do you even understand the immense value of invincible, source-level, forward and reverse techniques?

　Yes, but there's also the kind of protection mode that never leaves your side, the kind that stays in your shadow even when you go to the toilet or take a shower...

　However, this type is relatively expensive.

　The cheapest option is "standard protection," which provides shelter only in specific locations. If you go outside for a walk, you're no longer covered.

　The "Deluxe Protection Package" is what Xiaoying, who protects Nagashima Koki, is like; she may leave after confirming her safety.

　As for the one that provides constant, close protection, that's the "Supreme Package".

　But just from the name, you can tell that this model is not cheap, and can even be described as very expensive...

　Xiao Xi and Xiao Cui were connected through connections, so they were given protection without much effort. But the two of them still felt it was a bit strange that they were being so closely guarded while taking a shower.

　Therefore, I still think it's better to use the normal protection mode.

　After Xiaoying returned the books to the BOSS, Xiaoxi from Nagashima finished her homework at that very moment.

　The BOSS made an indelible contribution to this.

　Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Nagashima Koki to finish all her homework in one Saturday while dawdling around and playing mobile games.

　Even though Fengdu High School is a pioneer of happy education, it's the same.

　This is true for middle school students, especially those who have just transitioned from elementary to middle school. No matter how much homework they have, their final efficiency is always about the same.

　I'll probably finish all my homework by the very end of the weekend.

　It's just like online novel writers; their writing efficiency just won't pick up until the very last moment before they can get their full attendance bonus.

　It's truly heartbreaking and lamentable!

　It was already quite late when Nagashima Nozomi returned home with her little schoolbag... Fuuto was not...

　In the countryside, the nights aren't completely dark.

　Yes, this refers to a completely dark and deserted place.

　Even in the countryside there are streetlights, which means... people in Fengdu have a very rich nightlife.

　However, this does not mean how many pedestrians will be on the way from Ryo Ryo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to catch the bus, or on the way home after getting off the bus.

　After getting off the bus, Nagashima Nozomi and Koei quickly noticed something was wrong.

　It seemed like someone was following her.

　Upon realizing this, Nagashima Koki almost immediately slowed down... but it wasn't very noticeable.

　The pace slowed down from a brisk walk to a bouncy, childlike skipping.

　Seeing this, Xiaoying stopped reminding Xiaoxi and instead began to observe the pursuers behind Yongdao Xiaoxi.

　Xiaoying recognized it immediately.

　The other person was a pervert—panting as he stared at Nagashima Koki with a sinister look in his eyes, his mouth practically watering.

　It's pure perversion.

　As the footsteps behind her slowed down, Nagashima Koki realized... they had encountered bad people.

　My mother often said that if you encounter bad people, don't run away. Children can't outrun adult bad people. It's best to pretend nothing's wrong and keep walking.

　Finding a police station and rushing inside is the best option. Seeking shelter from someone you know is also an option, but shouting for help directly is not advisable.

　Because in Japan, there's a high chance that passersby won't help a stranger's child.

　The wind is a bit better in some cities, but it's much worse in others.

　Therefore, Nagashima Koki's choice was naturally...

　You've been following me!

　Nagashima Koki shouted at the other person, pointing her finger at the man: "Is he a pervert? He's a pervert!"

　Yes, although Riko Nagashima had given her instructions.

　However, Nagashima Koki was not a very obedient child. She immediately turned around and confronted the other party!

　The other party was immediately startled by this.

　Then, his eyes flashed with lust and ruthlessness, and he decided to go all in... Since the little girl had discovered him, he charged straight at her!

　With outstretched hands, it was about to grab Nagashima Koki.

　Then...

　"Chi!!!"

　As a flash of cold light flew from Nagashima Koki's hand, the man felt a sharp pain in his neck, followed by... a strange bubbling sound in his neck, and then a feeling of "not being able to breathe".

　"Guh... Waaaaah... Ahhh..."

　Making that sound, the man clutching his neck had his hands stained red with blood, and then, under the watchful eyes of the green sprites fluttering in the air, he collapsed to the ground.

　Little elf? Well done!

　"Hahaha, this is... loyalty to one's master!"

　Smiling like that, Nagashima Koki seemed very happy, then she immediately froze, looking around at the street...

　Great, there are absolutely no cameras around. Japan truly is a place that values ​​personal privacy... Bullshit!

　If there were cameras, would this kind of pervert be so rampant?!

　Nagashima Koki gritted her teeth in anger.

　-

　"You'll see what happened next."

　As Xiaoying explained the situation, Nagashima Riko learned what happened next—Xiaoying said she could handle it as long as the body was dragged into the shadows.

　Then, Nagashima Riko happened to see Nagashima Nozomi disposing of the body, which caused her to go home worried.

　Under Riko Nagashima's worried gaze, Xiaoying's voice sounded somewhat "as expected": "That's probably it... Xiaoxi said it's best to keep this from you, otherwise you'll definitely worry about her, and now it seems that's indeed the case."

　Of course! What mother wouldn't care about her child's safety?

　Thinking this, Riko Nagashima glanced at Xiaoying, then looked at the little sprite pretending to be motionless to the side, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

　As the little elf lowered its head contentedly to receive the petting, Riko Nagashima, as a mother, sincerely expressed her gratitude—

　"Thank you so much, really."

　Chapter 620 Xiao Xi is about to join the hunt!

　Nagashima Koki committed murder.

　Although Nagashima Koki herself could say things like "It's not me, it's a little fairy," the sharp blade that Murasame gave her never had a chance to be drawn.

　But no matter what, she did kill someone.

　She even disposed of the body herself... even if all she did was drag it into the shadows.

　So although it sounds strange, even a bit ridiculous, that's how it happened that night...

　Nagashima Koki had a nightmare.

　“I dreamt that the pervert from yesterday was trying to ambush my mom, but I couldn’t move and couldn’t protect her.”

　As Nagashima Koki and Koki were talking during class, Koki patted her chest with a worried expression, saying, "It was really scary."

　When Nagashima Koki woke up in the morning, she was really scared and covered in sweat.

　"..." To be honest, Xiao Cui thought that the "nightmare" that Nagashima Koki mentioned referred to her own nightmare of encountering danger. It turned out that it was Aunt Riko who was in danger?

　Thinking about this, Xiao Cui was genuinely a little envious.

　Nagashima Nozomi's family... apart from not having a father, everything seems perfect, ordinary yet happy.
