Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"Oh my gosh, Kira☆!"

　"This is... the Great Scythe of Sanzu River, so powerful, so cool."

　"It's Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Chan, yay!"

　"Over here, the magical girls of the Purifier Squad... it seems like a lot of statues have been moved... what happened?"

　"..." Yes, what happened?

　Xiao Cui didn't know either... Well, actually she knew the whole story perfectly well.

　The empty seat in the very middle originally belonged to Teacher Hong.

　After Teacher Hong was killed (which wasn't actually the case), the statue was removed. As for the other missing statues...

　He was killed by Cong Yu when he went to Central City.

　To be honest, Xiao Cui didn't know what the mindset of a real magical girl should be when visiting a magical girl museum.

　However, Xiao Cui's own thoughts are...

　As a member of the Wind City Squad, she should appear in this museum someday, right?

　No, instead of saying that, let's think about why the sculptor is moving so slowly and why he hasn't finished making his statue yet.

　Beside Xiao Cui, Yongdao Xiaoxi looked around, searching for her "contact person" or something.

　Yes, the contact person.

　It's not about attaching the head of another anime character to the body of another character... a tribute to the legendary Street Fighter Skunk.

　It was Cong Yu who said that the members of the Purifiers team, who were responsible for meeting her, would take her to fight evil.

　Nagashima Koki has already made up her mind.

　Learn from others first, accumulate experience, and once you're proficient, don't go to university after graduation. Start working independently and create your own legendary life!

　Then I will cooperate with Japan. Whenever someone encounters a bad person, they can hold up the "Little Lantern" and shine it into the sky, and I will go and fight against evil.

　(Riko Nagashima: Isn't this inappropriate?)

　And what Congyu's brother said was that the magical girl who brought her would meet her at the museum.

　But when Xiaoxi looked around, the only magical girl she saw was Xiaocui, who was waiting with her.

　Where is the person who was supposed to guide me? Are they late?

　As Nagashima Nozomi was thinking this, Kozue spotted the blonde magical girl playing on her phone on a nearby bench first.

　Although she didn't transform, Xiao Cui had seen this magical girl in her normal state before.

　"Ah, the one who trained us before..."

　Xiao Cui couldn't help but speak up, attracting the other person's attention and causing them to pause in surprise.

　The blonde magical girl looked up, yawning and blinking as she stared at Xiao Cui... She couldn't recall who this was.

　But the person following behind her should be Nagashima Koki, right?

　The "Nagashima family," where Nagashima Koki lives, is quite famous in Japan and even internationally.

　"Oh, I remember now... Shibasaki Hisami, Shibasaki-neechan!"

　As Xiao Cui spoke, she called out the name of the blonde magical girl, which made Shibasaki Hisami glance at her.

　Then, memories from a year ago gradually surfaced.

　"Oh, it's that one... Ah! So you're the famous Green lately? 'Salamander Silk' crackled with electricity."

　Hisami Shibasaki raised her voice a little.

　Only now am I connecting the character I taught during my training with the recently famous magical girl Midori…

　After all, although Magical Girl☆Midori was very popular recently, she hadn't really researched it and only knew a few rumors.

　Now that I think back... oh, she used to train "Cui" and had seen her in her ordinary human form.

　With that, Shibasaki Kyūmari understood why the Magical Girl Association had called her. She asked, "You're the magical girls I met, right? The Purifier Squad?"

　Xiao Cui nodded... She was indeed a magical girl.

　Nagashima Koki nodded... She had indeed heard Congyu-gege talk about the Purifier Squad or something.

　"Oh, you are indeed quite special... It's relatively rare in Japan for such young children to become magical girls."

　With that, Shibasaki Hisami stood up, patted her bottom, and handed a paper document from her clothes to the two of them.

　After Xiao Cui reached out and took it, Shibasaki Hisami yawned and said, "Yawn, the mission objective is on the document."

　"The schedules of those targets for today are all listed here. Collecting crime lists from these lower-ranking cabinet members is quite a lot of work..."

　"Take them out today."

　Xiao Cui opened the file, which contained a series of human photographs and densely packed time information.

　Is it so exciting right from the start?

　And isn't Shibasaki-neechan coming along? Are you really that trusting of us?

　Somewhat surprised, Xiao Cui looked at Shibasaki Hisami, who left the museum without hesitation, and then at the excited Nagashima Koki.

　Feeling that something was amiss, Xiao Cui took out her phone and asked Cong Yu.

　[Xiao Cui: Brother Cong Yu, we met with Sister Shibasaki. She told us to kill the people on the list.]

　[Cong Yu: Oh, so it was Shibasaki Hisami who brought you guys? You learned some techniques from Shibasaki before, do you remember?]

　Xiao Cui: Mm.

　[Cong Yu: However, she probably doesn't know that I am the King of Fengdu, so don't mention me directly when you talk to her—]

　Although I don't really care about it anymore.

　Xiao Cui: Okay—

　"..." It's confirmed, it really was murder!

　Xiao Cui sighed... Was Yongdao Xiaoxi's first experience a little too stimulating?

　-

　[Masterpiece]: Huh? Didn't we agree that Cong Yu was supposed to take the kid on the mission? Where is he? Where is the person who was supposed to hand over intelligence to the Hunter Team?

　[Masterpiece]: Where are they? I'm asking you, where are they?!

　Chapter 629 Murder and Eyes

　murder.

　Around 50,000 years ago, in the Zagros Mountains of northern Iran, a 40-year-old Neanderthal was murdered.

　He died from a spear thrown by another man, which was presumed to be a revenge killing... His tongue was cut off.

　This is the oldest form of murder.

　……

　"Well, let me see."

　Holding a monocular telescope, Nagashima Koki observed from the top of the building the route that someone on the "assassination list" would inevitably take.

　"There's puddles on the ground, and electrical wires on the streetlights... How could such a coincidence happen?"

　Nagashima Koki couldn't help but say this, while Koki pondered and said, "But, that old cabinet minister must be surrounded by a group of bodyguards or something, right?"

　I don’t know when it started, but Xiao Cui has gotten used to calling the bad old man “Lao Deng”.

　And as for the "good old man," she would naturally call him "Grandpa" politely.

　Aside from the Pope...

　Xiao Cui calls the Pope "Old Deng" because he once beat up Cong Yu's brother, but in her heart she still calls him "Grandpa Pope"...

　Because he also let Cong Yu go.

　Saying one thing and thinking another.

　"Oh, guards? Just kill them all. If they're protecting bad guys, what good guys can they be?"

　As Nagashima Koki said this, she immediately sensed something was off and glanced at her shadow: "Not necessarily. We're so bad, but our little shadow sister is still pretty good at protecting us."

　Xiaoying: ...

　There were many flaws, but Xiao Cui was too lazy to complain anymore. She blinked.

　His eyes surveyed the area: "Perhaps there are other methods."

　This is what is known as Plan B.

　"This streetlight looks heavy and is in poor condition... If we can injure the target, it will be much easier to kill him secretly."

　As Xiao Cui spoke, she gestured with her hands, nodded, and then arranged for about ten little elves to take their positions.

　This is the last person on the list.

　The other targets that needed to be "killed" had already been clearly arranged by Xiao Cui and Yongdao Xiaoxi.

　All of them are "murders" without exception, murders framed by accidents... The two little girls seem to be born with a knack for this.

　Even Nagashima Koki is more shrewd than Koki.

　Despite having mediocre grades and not particularly bright, Nagashima Koki possesses an astonishingly keen eye.

　A casual glance is enough to easily see through the logic.

　The logic of how all things are connected.

　Therefore, it is possible to easily create a "chain" of "false coincidences" to kill the target that needs to be killed.

　"Okay—that's settled... I'm hungry, let's go back to the museum area for lunch, my mom made bento boxes—"

　Nagashima Koki smiled happily, her hands clasped together as if in prayer, her eyes sparkling with a beautiful light.

　"Did Yaochuan make you a bento box too? Xiaocui, let's swap!"

　As she said this, Nagashima Koki blinked...

　These ordinary eyes were now staring at the ordinary street before them, at the telephone pole that would soon become the murder weapon…

　Excitement sparkles.

　"Ah."

　Xiao Cui responded, leaving the little sprite responsible for "triggering" where it should be, and then walked back with Xiao Xi.

　Xiao Cui, who was sharing the view of the little elves, suddenly sensed something and looked towards a distant corner of the central city.

　"We've arrived...the person on the list whose schedule is earliest."

　Xiaoxi, realizing that Xiaocui was mainly observing from the perspective of the little elf, led Xiaocui away.

　To be precise, it was about guiding Xiao Cui, who wasn't paying attention to where she was going.

　If your eyes are looking too far ahead, you'll naturally need someone to watch the road and guide you...

　At that moment, Xiaoxi's eyes, which could see through everything, were fixed on the traffic light, and she pulled Xiaocui to indicate that they could go.

　"So... has it started?"

　In response to Nagashima Koki's cheerful question, Koki smiled and replied, "Hmm... My first murder was surprisingly interesting."

　It inexplicably feels quite...artistic.

　Thinking this, Xiao Cui gently clenched her hands, and a very sharp smile appeared on her lips.

　"boom!!!"

　Along with Xiao Cui's laughter, a deafening roar erupted in a corner of this bustling city.

　The cabinet bastards who were recently exposed were reduced to shattered bones and flesh amidst the explosions and roars.

　"..." Xiao Cui smiled gently, reaching out to comb her hair from her forehead to the back of her head.

　Like hairspray, the hand ran through her long, emerald-green hair and seemed to fix it in place, revealing Xiao Cui's forehead.

　Incidentally, Xiao Cui's forehead is not large.

　None of the members of the entire Fuuto squad have particularly large foreheads... If you really have to compare, Yaochuan Guang's forehead is slightly wider.
