Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Then, as she completely removed her hat, what appeared before Cong Yu, Lan Tianzhu, and the doctor was... a bright halo.

　A small halo hovered a few centimeters above Dente's head, emitting a light that was not dazzling but definitely noticeable.

　Wha...what? !

　Halo?

　Generally speaking, a humanoid creature with a halo above its head... according to normal thinking, is an angel, right?!

　You, who spends all your time eating and using vampires, being kept by a vampire older sister, and drinking and bragging in weirdo bars, have turned into an angel?!

　Most High and Most Godly Father, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?

　Cong Yu showed a somewhat shocked expression, and Lan Tianzhu could no longer maintain her composure, revealing a look of astonishment unlike Xiao Lan's.

　"Angel?"

　Even the doctor couldn't help but ask that question.

　Dente immediately sighed and waved his hand, saying, "No, Theredo said it was some kind of magical condensation and didn't bring me any benefit."

　As he said this, Dente scratched his head and said, "But it does look like an angel from the new Holy Book... I haven't seen it many times, but that's what Theradora told me."

　"..." Uh oh, there are so many things to complain about in these two short sentences... Because there are so many, Cong Yu doesn't even know where to begin.

　Oh, right, I haven't mentioned this to Dente yet.

　Cong Yu seemed to have thought of something, coughed twice, and said, "Perfect, this way when you return to the Vatican as Pope, Dente, no one will dare to disobey you... You'll probably be the only one who has the final say from now on."

　Dente: "???"

　"The organization has already made a decision. Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon... cough cough, anyway, that's how it is. That's what your grandfather and your father's brother told me."

　Cong Yu spoke earnestly.

　……

　At that instant, the thoughts of everyone present except Cong Yu were almost perfectly synchronized.

　Doctor: This seemingly dim-witted magical girl could be the future pope? Is that alright?

　Lantian Zhu: Dente as Pope?! Her?!

　Dente: "Me, the Pope? Me?!"

　Chapter 623 Countdown to the Destruction of the Papacy

　"In your dream you saw a man in a long robe sitting on a throne. He had deep eyes and a handsome face, and was surrounded by countless angels."

　Dente: "Mmm."

　"He begged you to protect the world, at least to support all the 'Children of Man' through the future turmoil, and to forgive the sins of all things."

　Dente: "Mmm."

　"Then you wake up and find that although the lights are off, the surroundings are very bright. After examining it, you realize that the light source is your head. When you look in the mirror, you find that there is a halo above your head."

　Dente: "Yes."

　"..." Cong Yu: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　doctor:"……"

　How should I put it? The man in Dente's dream, such a classic figure... the three of them knew about him, or at least had some understanding of him.

　But why wouldn't Dente know that himself...?

　Although Cong Yu knew that the Vatican and God truly existed in this world, she was relatively restrained in her portrayal of the characters in TV series and movies.

　There won't be any games like YS (not O God, haha), which are clearly related to holy books.

　The problem is, even though all three of them are so unprofessional, they all know who the guy Dente was dreaming about is.

　But Dente, being a clergyman, even needed Theredo to explain things like "angels."

　This guy would definitely cause a huge mess if he became pope.

　But the problem is...

　Dente is now firmly in the position of Pope.

　"Wow, this is really something."

　Unable to contain his feelings, Cong Yu paused for a moment, patted Dente on the shoulder, and said, "The future of humanity is in your hands."

　Dente: "Huh? Huh?"

　Blue Sky Nagisa nodded, agreeing with Cong Yu's point of view: "D-san, keep the future of gods and humanity in mind—Den."

　"te, standing tall on the earth."

　Dente: "Hey! What do you mean? What's with that weird subtitle, like something out of a Showa-era anime?"

　It's worth mentioning that Dente's loud complaint itself is quite something to be criticized... typical of Dente.

　Even the doctors were amazed, tapping on the screen in front of them to find out where the equipment used to "treat" Dente was kept.

　"This is truly extraordinary. The one in your dream is far more outrageous than any of those so-called goddesses of fate like Moirai."

　Upon hearing this, Dente's eyes widened instantly, and she immediately realized something: "The god who entered my dream, wait... could it be?!"

　Did you finally realize it?

　Cong Yu took a sip of her coffee and exchanged a glance with Lan Tianzhu... She really didn't know how Dente got into the church.

　Dente: "Cthulhu?!"

　"..."

　"puff!"

　Cong Yu spat out a mouthful of coffee, then choked and coughed violently, his mind blank at Dente's words: "Cough cough cough!!!"

　Seeing the huge commotion Cong Yu made, Dente was startled and quickly patted Cong Yu's good friend's back lightly: "I was just kidding, I was just kidding!"

　"Although I haven't read much, I have read the Bible, and now I've realized it... I was just joking with you guys."

　"..." I hope it's a joke.

　Otherwise, it would be very strange... even a bit absurd, for a full-time member of the Vatican to know about Su Shi but not Jesus.

　The doctor, without batting an eye, slapped the screen twice and summoned a little shadow to mop the floor... The little shadow, a typical errand boy, was miserable—

　"Well, if your dream isn't an illusion, I think it would be difficult for me to help you get rid of the halo above your head."

　The doctor said, but then shook his head helplessly, "But I'll give it a try anyway... After all, I'm still very interested in 'angels'."

　"I'll test the logic and hardness of the corresponding location first. The machine for testing hardness is on the 12th floor. Please wait a moment... Hmm, aren't you leaving?"

　"Well, never mind, it might offer some ideas."

　With that, the doctor left the office.

　Xiao Lan and Cong Yu were originally planning to leave, but after encountering such an interesting situation with Dente, they naturally decided to stay and join in the fun.

　However, the doctor's words made Cong Yu unable to help but look at her retreating figure...

　At some point, doctors gradually learned to accept these strange "unscientific" and "non-magical" settings.

　Perhaps the blows they've suffered in recent years have been too great.

　First came the inexplicably humanoid monster, Dai-ying. Then came Moirai, then Yao-chuan Guang, the incarnation of the Demon King, and then Xiao-cui's extermination spell...

　Oh, extermination techniques are actually within the normal range... Although they are powerful and dangerous, they are logically reasonable and self-consistent.

　It seems the doctors have become numb.

　At this moment, Dente finally had the opportunity to ask the question that Cong Yu had mentioned earlier: "So, what exactly is the relationship between the Pope and me?"

　In fact, among those in the know, the one who felt the word "Pope" was least compatible with Dente was Dente himself.

　No one understands himself better than Dente himself.

　I realize how ignorant and incompetent I am, how much I neglect my duties, even doing bad things, and how lazy I am...

　A thousand words can be summed up in three words—

　"Am I worthy?"

　"..." Cong Yu had no way to answer Dente's self-reproach, and could only give a specific reason: "The main reason is bloodline."

　"From what your uncle said... it seems that among all those with the surname Van Milion, only you are presentable."

　"I'm not sure if the Vanmillion family is short-staffed, or if too many people are dying too quickly, or if the quality is simply too poor..."

　"Who knows, if we were to choose a general among the short ones, you might be the most outstanding 'Vanmillion'."

　As she said this, Cong Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch the halo above Dente's head... It felt a little warm to the touch, falling into the category of "warm".

　It was smooth, like some kind of jade.

　Judging from Dente's expression, she seemed to have no feeling for the halo and could not perceive touch or other sensations.

　As for the question of whether they are a good match.

　As Cong Yu said this, she looked at Dente in silence... This guy didn't seem like an honest person at all.

　The street urchin's flavor has already seeped into his bones.

　Therefore, Cong Yu couldn't even say something like, "If you feel you're not qualified, then strive to become a qualified pope!"

　Even if that was what he originally intended to say...

　Unfortunately, Cong Yu couldn't bring herself to say it against her conscience.

　So……

　"How do you define the Pope? Or rather, who has the right to define the concepts of divine authority and the Pope? Secular rules?"

　As she asked this, Cong Yu patted the halo above Dente's head: "Or perhaps it should be the Pope himself... or even God?"

　Dente: "!!!"

　Lan Tianzhu: "That's true."

　The meaning of "丛雨" is very simple.

　"If God says 'you can,' then you can. Even if you become Pope and then destroy the Papacy in three days, that's still God's will, the key to the prosperity of human civilization, and part of the plan."

　Cong Yu said this, and these words instantly enlightened Dente (who had been completely fooled), and his eyes immediately began to light up.

　She understood! She understood!

　If that's the case, she could totally do whatever she wants after becoming pope!

　Because all of this is God's will!

　Joseph Van Milion: Huh? Why does a chilly wind feel like it's blowing? Oh dear, I have a bad feeling...

　Chapter 624 The Proclamation of the Return of the Gods

　"The halo hovers stably at a distance of 7.777 centimeters above Dente's head. If Dente moves forward and the halo encounters an obstacle..."

　"The resistance exerted by the obstacle will act on Dente's body in the corresponding direction... and then, depending on the situation, he will be unable to move forward, or he will move forward while being supported by the obstacle under the resistance."

　"Brightness appears differently to each observer, but it generally provides a comfortable and evenly distributed lighting experience to the surrounding space."

　"Hardness is...indestructible."

　The doctor explained, answering each of the seemingly professional, even somewhat obscure, data and unit symbols on her screen.

　For example, [cd/m] or something like that.

　Naturally, characters like Nagisa Azuma and Dente, who are "magical girls" (also known as "those who slipped through the net of compulsory education and never received any 'happy education'!), wouldn't understand this.

　What is meant by "an indestructible category"?

　Cong Yu asked this question, expressing her doubts and asking about the difference between "indestructible" and "unbreakable".

　"This is my pride as a researcher... basically, 'I haven't found a way to destroy it yet,' that's the gist of it."

　The doctor said this, then seemed to remember something and looked at Cong Yu: "Why don't you try using Jormungandr Train?"

　"..." Dente: "Quaa?"
