Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　In this situation, Cong Yu felt a sense of familiarity... It felt like something from when Fengdu was first established?

　However, Cong Yu doesn't really hold onto such things for long. After all, he has saved and helped far too many people.

　He would save one or two children like Munemasa Yoshimi every day when the environment was extremely harsh.

　If Munemasa Yoshimi's potential cannot be realized, or if she doesn't stay by Koei's side, Congyu might quickly forget about her.

　Of course, every time Cong Yu goes to a bar now, he sees Zongzheng Ximei once, so it's highly likely he won't forget her.

　There were many eccentric people in the same batch as Rabbit Man, but Cong Yu only remembered Rabbit Man, one of the "Top Ten People Who Moved the Group".

　This is also one of the reasons why Cong Yu wrote the list of eccentric people.

　You can also call it the Book of Friends.

　"What about Xiao Cui? Should we just rush in?"

　Yao Chuanguang asked this question to Xiao Cui, who was the only one peeking through the window of the clubroom using her little sprite.

　There was no way around it; it had been discovered long ago that Yaochuan Guang possessed combat intelligence but lacked tactical thinking.

　If Yaochuan Guang were to devise the plan, it would be simple and brutal—charge in! Damn the enemy! Attack the enemy!

　That's it.

　Lan Tianzhu, who had combat experience, was unable to act properly at this moment, and she even clung tightly to Cong Yu's arm.

　Lan Tianzhu was even chattering and trembling: "The ghost of a band! The ghost of a band, floating above the Fengdu Affiliated High School."

　You're crazy...

　I should have known better than to say those things to scare Xiaolan... Wait, is she sticking so close to me on purpose?

　Is it to keep Yaochuan Guang in a desensitized state at all times?

　Cong Yu made this well-intentioned assumption about Lan Tianzhu, and then made a judgment—no, Lao Lan was genuinely afraid.

　At this moment, Lan Tianzhu's heart was completely consumed by fear, and he couldn't muster any other thoughts.

　Oh no! Little Blue! Oh no!

　Then, while Cong Yu was thinking this, Xiao Cui had already figured out the strategy and made a tactical arrangement that even Yao Chuan Guang could understand.

　"Charge straight in."

　As she said this, Xiao Cui looked quite confident, saying, "Press down all the instruments on both sides at once, and then ask about the situation directly!"

　Xiao Cui's idea was very simple—

　Four against one! The advantage is mine!

　Yao Chuanguang's eyes lit up on the spot, and he immediately kicked open the door of the music club's classroom.

　"bump!!!"

　With a deafening roar, the piano and guitar playing in the sky, which had been engaged in a fierce battle, all froze instantly.

　Then, in the next instant...

　"FBI! Open the door!"

　"Don't move! None of you are allowed to move!"

　As Yaochuan Guang shouted this, his golden magic instantly transformed into countless beams of magic energy, ready to be unleashed, aimed at...

　They played their respective musical instruments.

　Little Cui's little elves also rushed in through the window, turning into a net that stretched as far as the eye could see. Sharp elf spears and ancient elf canes were aimed at them.

　Even the seemingly useless Blue Sky Bridge sealed off this place with its blue magic, forming a barrier.

　This is the tacit understanding of a well-trained team.

　At this point, some people might ask...

　Where's Cong Yu? Where's Cong Yu? Cong Yu, come and do something useful!

　……

　With a clear division of labor, Cong Yu wasn't doing nothing—he simply put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked into the classroom.

　The bright moonlight shone on him, making his long, jet-black hair reflect a beautiful glow.

　He walked lightly on the wooden floor, the light shining through the window, casting a long shadow.

　He's incredibly handsome and has a very high level of sophistication.

　Yes, Cong Yu is in charge of showing off.

　"..." Before Cong Yu could say anything, a voice came from the piano floating in the sky, which was being pointed to by the spell and the little elf.

　"Lord Cong... Congyu?"

　It was a male voice, and I felt like I'd heard it somewhere before... There was a hint of surprise in the voice.

　It clearly seems to be asking, "Why is Lord Congyu here at night?"

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Yaochuan Guang, Lantian Zhu, and Xiao Cui: "???"

　acquaintance?!

　As the four hesitated, several sharp female voices immediately came from the direction of the guitars: "What is that?"

　"uninvited guest?"

　"Get out of here! Magical Girl!"

　"Or I'll make you all die here with me!"

　These sounds were quite shrill, sounding like the noises of a pseudo-human rather than normal human beings.

　It's like the sound of poor-quality chalk rubbing against a blackboard.

　"..." The situation is already quite clear.

　On one side are those who recognize Cong Yu and call him "Lord Cong Yu," and on the other side are those who shout, "What are you doing here, being buried with me?"

　Then, there is only one answer.

　In the brief silence, Yaochuan Guang gently turned the beam of light in his hand, moving it away from the piano and focusing it entirely on the guitar.

　"what!"

　Xiao Cui quickly had the little elf turn the gun around.

　"Hey!"

　Even Lan Tianzhu understood. Trembling, she prepared herself to charge at the "guitars" and explode: "Hmph! You ghosts of the band! Then come on! Die under my Source of Glory!"

　"..." Piano Soul: "???"

　Guitar Soul: "???"

　The ghosts of the band members? What kind of setting is that?

　Chapter 644 The Soul of the Piano: No wonder my colleagues all love Cong Yuchui

　The soul of the piano is certainly not the ghost of any band member.

　Although his physical form may indeed resemble that of a ghost...

　There is something called "activated armor".

　Similar settings can be found in many novels, animations, and board games, though there may be minor differences.

　Some theories are based on the immortal soul of the armor's owner, while others suggest that the armor gained life from being stained with too much blood.

　But in any case, it was inanimate objects that gained the right to move.

　As for those "eccentrics" (or it's hard to call them eccentrics) like the "piano soul," they can be understood as "Schrödinger's living instruments."

　After all, when the piano soul is in a bar, he can drink, talk, and converse while pretending to "not see anything."

　Furthermore, one can freely switch the musical instrument they possess.

　"The soul of the piano... Oh! I remember now."

　Yaochuan Guang suddenly realized...

　Yes, before Cong Yu could recall any impressions, the first thing she thought of was this unseen and intangible strange person.

　She remembered hearing "Piano Soul" from her previous visits to bars. But what she never expected was: "So, you really are the piano! I thought you were mainly about the 'soul'!"

　Piano Soul: "..."

　Yes, although it is indeed "soul," he really is a piano, and it is not simply a name he gave himself.

　Cong Yu finally remembered the other person.

　I remember he was a ghost-like monster who had just joined the group last year and was always sitting with the Minotaur in the bar...

　It seems that it really was called "Piano Soul".

　However, Cong Yu naturally wouldn't say things like, "Haha, who are you? I didn't even recognize you just now."

　"So, you're here on a mission?"

　Asking this casually, Cong Yu stared at the guitar that was being held down by a bunch of little elves and struggling: "And what are these guitars?"

　Before Piano Soul could say anything after Cong Yu finished speaking, a noisy and jarring voice came from the guitar.

　"Damn it, they actually called for backup! What a despicable bastard!"

　"Exactly! It's so big and it still calls for help!"

　"Shameless! I'm going to kill you!"

　"..."

　"Shut up."

　Lan Tianzhu calmly rebuked them as he squatted down next to the guitars: "If you dare to say another word, I'll blow you up."

　As he spoke, Lan Tianzhu's body began to faintly glow, as if it were exploding.

　Like a scaly dragon, it feels like it could explode at any moment.

　Sensing the danger, the guitarists immediately became quiet, hoping that Lan Tianzhu would let them go.

　"That's right, Lord Congyu... We 'animated instruments' can sense other animated instruments within a certain range."

　Piano Soul's words made Cong Yu instantly tense... It really is called "living musical instruments"?

　Compared to "activated weapons," which sounds like something out of a fighting game, you guys really seem like a pure band...

　It's very mysterious.

　"Then, we can change the other's form of existence and symbolism by consuming other living instruments."

　With that in mind, the Piano Soul, facing the magical girl and Lord Murasame who completely failed to grasp the meaning, gave an example—

　"In other words, if I were to devour the existence of these guitars, they would all transform from guitars into pianos, thus becoming my subordinates."

　"But their personalities, behavioral patterns, and inner world will remain. They will simply be unable to disobey my orders until I am defeated by the new, revitalized instruments... In that case, we will be under the command of the new instruments."

　I see……

　What a fart!

　"It's...wonderful."

　Cong Yu commented on the ecology of these "living weapons" in this way, and was slightly speechless... It was less about devouring and more about persuading them to surrender.

　It even gives off a sense of "competing for supremacy".

　Unfortunately, because the main subject of the competition was musical instruments, it always felt like the competition lacked any real tension.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu glanced at the three guitars and realized something: "So, this guy has assimilated the other two activated weapons? After all, there are three of them."

　In response, the voice of the piano spirit, now detached from the piano, came from the air: "That's right, but I heard they did it voluntarily."

　voluntary?

　Cong Yu said she couldn't understand it at all.

　……
