Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Ah... it still feels strange to say "mine" now.

　"Um, Congyu-chan..."

　Yao Chuanguang spoke somewhat awkwardly, saying sheepishly, "From now on, please use 'the Demon King's' instead of 'mine,' it feels a bit strange."

　But, Hikaru Yokawa, you really are the Demon King...

　Well, even though that's what they say, Yaochuan Guang "feels a little strange," which is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

　That's good, that's good...

　As Cong Yu sighed, Yao Chuan Guang blinked and looked at his phone: "Cong Yu-chan, the school reopening notice has come down... School starts next Monday."

　Ah, school starts...

　go to school.

　……

　For some reason, Cong Yu, who is clearly a student, felt as if she were in a different world after hearing the word "start of school".

　Perhaps it's because there have been too many things happening lately, and none of them are related to the campus...

　When Cong Yu temporarily left the group, she vowed that she would spend a period of time on campus like a normal human being.

　Unfortunately, his life was normal for a whole year, but it was completely ruined when Yaochuan Guang suddenly barged into his life.

　However, until now, Cong Yu has no resentment towards Yao Chuan Guang for disrupting her peaceful life.

　What truly resides in the heart is a considerable degree of longing.

　Perhaps we should also add gratitude and...friendship?

　"Ugh, when I went to attend Toki-senpai's wedding before... oh no, it was Toki-senpai's brother's."

　Yao Chuan Guang coughed lightly as he spoke, then continued chatting with Cong Yu: "I don't know either..."

　Before she could finish speaking, she paused in surprise.

　Then, she looked at the entrance of the McDonald's and said, "Cong Yu..."

　I sensed it... two "senses" were approaching.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Cong Yu: "???"

　What do you mean by two "feelings" approaching? Your description is even more baffling than my previous "Five Knights of the King".

　Yaochuan Guang also noticed the confusion on Cong Yu's face, but she couldn't answer it... because she was also very confused.

　"Two...things are approaching."

　Searching intermittently for the right adjective, Yaochuan Guang paused for a moment, then said, "Two creatures... perhaps?"

　"I feel like I should be able to take something away from them at any time, and also put it back at any time."

　Yaochuan Guang tried his best to describe his feelings, even reaching out as if to grab something.

　But clearly, that "feeling" is not something that can be seen or touched... and is more akin to a thought than an action.

　Then, following Yaochuan Guang's gaze, Cong Yu gradually looked towards the McDonald's entrance, and then...

　Then I saw the two monsters walk into the shop.

　They were wearing colored clothes, and their clothing style was quite normal... Judging from their masks, they should be the "Le" and "Bang" duo.

　I see. Considering that too many people would cause too much noise, only two people came.

　Is he considered a representative of the five of them?

　So, joy and tension are what Yaochuan Guang's "feelings" are...

　Just as the King of Monsters (Miss Chi You: Hey hey hey!) controls the transformation of monsters, the Demon King naturally controls monsters as well.

　They possess some kind of power over the monsters.

　As for what that was, Cong Yu couldn't figure it out right now...

　"It's those two... I can take something from them, so they're the Demon King's knights?"

　Yao Chuanguang spoke softly, and Cong Yu, who had roughly guessed what was going on, nodded: "I was just making things up about the knights, but they are indeed your subordinates... at least that's what they think."

　During Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang's conversation, "Le" and "Beng" hardly looked for anyone, but instead looked directly in the direction of the two.

　Without a doubt, they could also sense Yaochuan Guang.

　However, their feelings were different from Yaochuan Guang's... it was the difference between "being controlled" and "controlling".

　"Ah, Your Majesty the Demon King..."

　"Hahaha, are the Demon King and Queen eating KFC?"

　Cong Yu chuckled at Beng Hele's greeting, while Yao Chuanguang immediately became a little shy because of how the two addressed each other.

　However, she had heard similar jokes many times before.

　Whether at school or according to Xiao Lan...

　Therefore, Hikaru Yaochuan ignored their words and confirmed their identities: "Hello, I am Hikaru Yaochuan. Although I have received the Demon King's memories, I am indeed Hikaru Yaochuan."

　"..." has a very stable personality.

　Is this what Cong Yu meant by "a drastic change in the situation" in our chat early yesterday morning? Isn't it exactly the same?

　Under the meaningful gaze of the two monsters, Cong Yu briefly summarized the situation.

　This prompted reflection on the concepts of "joy" and "tension"...

　Indeed, emotions can encompass many things.

　"Bang" said, nodding.

　"Haha, it really is..."

　"Le" laughed, gently scratching the bone mask on his face: "The memories before awakening don't seem to have left much of a mark on my heart... It seems we're all the same."

　……

　So that's how it is. So that's what monsters are like.

　Cong Yu sighed, and at that moment, Yao Chuan Guang touched her "authority" with his thoughts, and then, under everyone's gaze.

　"Bang" paused slightly, then looked at Yaochuan Guang: "Is this... the power of the Demon King?"

　"..." So, what exactly can be done?

　Even with the Demon King's memories, does Hikaru Yokawa not know the extent of his abilities?

　However... that's not the case.

　“I understand… I can take away the intelligence of any monster, or give intelligence to any monster.”

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, it was as if, in the instant she used her authority, she understood the meaning of the "special" thing she possessed.

　"And my 'granted intellect' and 'returned intellect' are a transformation different from that of a magical girl."

　"It's a monster's 'transformation'..."

　"..." Oh, I see. What a novel concept... my foot!

　Chapter 714 JiuX and the Death of XiaoXi

　The concepts of "given intellect" and "returned intellect" sound novel and impressive.

　But think about it carefully...

　After the monster gained intelligence from its unconscious state, it became able to speak and communicate, instead of just eating all day long.

　Or it could be a transformation from a state of being able to communicate into a monster, returning to a state of being without intelligence and receiving an amplification.

　Isn't that...

　A magical girl version of Arrancar and Resurrección?

　Be careful, Kubo X-jin might sue you!

　However, even so, the Demon King and the Monster King do have something in common... they can both control the transformations of their respective races.

　It can only control transformation.

　The fact that they cannot control life and death makes it feel rather special.

　But what's really interesting is...

　Cong Yu thought to herself, looking at Yao Chuan Guang, and at "Le" and "Beng" who were communicating with Yao Chuan Guang, and pondering the differences.

　The differences between Yaochuan Guang and Chiyou.

　This is certainly not referring to comparisons of personality, physique, or psychological age... such comparisons would be considered persecution by Miss Chi You.

　The so-called difference refers to the difference in the two people's abilities.

　As is well known, "Le" and "Beng," and their group, did not gain their intellectual understanding through Yaochuan Guang.

　These Five Knights of the Kingdom (Six Arts) gained their sanity on their own by combining the magic of the monster with their own.

　Ke Yaochuan Guang was still able to control them.

　Unfortunately, things were different on Chi You's side...

　Cong Yu's body contains the magic power of a monster, so Chi You cannot control his transformation.

　From this perspective, Miss Chi You is really not very capable.

　Is this stronger control due to Yaochuan Guang's unique abilities? Or is it due to the special abilities of a demon king or monster?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu compared the suspended Chi You with Yao Chuan Guang, then suddenly realized something...

　It seems very likely that it's due to Miss Chi You's special nature.

　……

　Because Miss Chi You was sealed away, her control over the monsters became weaker... Thinking about it that way, it seems quite reasonable.

　However, if we shift our focus to other directions...

　The King of Magical Girls, according to mythology, is the King of Angels... It seems that apart from sending dreams, he has no other use.

　(Jesus: Hi hi hi!)

　(Dente: Hehehe!)

　"..."

　"Congyu-chan, what are you thinking about?"

　Cong Yu, pulled back from her speculation by Yao Chuan Guang's questioning gaze and voice, then, under the watchful eyes of the three...

　Okay, under the watchful eyes of the three monsters (I'm sure of it).

　Cong Yu briefly explained the question that had just occurred to him: "Since magical girls have their Magical Girl Kings, monsters have their Demon Kings, and freaks have their Monster Kings, do magical beasts have their own kings?"

　This is an interesting question.

　There are kings among those who are intelligent users of negative magic, those who are intelligent users of positive magic, and those who are ignorant users of negative magic...

　So, the user of positive magic is the one who is ignorant.

　In other words, in Warcraft, is there a concept like "Warcraft King"?

　Cong Yu thought to himself, and Yao Chuan Guang also showed a blank, thoughtful expression because of his words.

　Cong Yu's question was very profound... at least that's what Yao Chuan Guang thought.

　However, Yaochuan Guang was self-aware, so he quickly stopped thinking about it and, following the instructions to pick up the food, happily went to get the lunch for the four of them.

　The Demon King himself actually went to collect the food.

　This is truly a lack of prestige...

　Of course, Yaochuan Guang doesn't need any kind of prestige. She's already gotten used to being a demanding mother and probably can't change.

　And "Le" and "Beng"...

　The former laughed heartily but remained silent, while the latter spoke directly: "You might not understand..."

　"The magic of positivity is the extreme of emotion. If a irrational being were to control this positivity... it would only be a case of the pot calling the kettle black."
