Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　[Hmph, didn't you just tell me to get back here?]

　Cong Yu was speechless at the complaint about the extermination technique: "That's because you're staying outside and don't want to come back... And! Can you change your voice?"

　Using Hatsune Miku's voice to "hum" is really distracting!

　【snort--】

　"Hmph, you're kidding me! Be normal!"

　【Oh】

　Upon hearing Yuan An's obedient voice, Xian Kui's expression became even more puzzled. Unable to hear Yuan An's voice, she asked, "Cong Yu, what are you talking to?"

　Regarding the questions about Xiankui...

　"My extermination technique."

　Cong Yu answered in this way, and then, under the astonished gaze of Xian Kui who was suddenly stunned, he simply said, "This is my second plan."

　"I'll try to teach you the extermination technique."

　Xian Kui: "!!!"

　"Is this...something that can be taught to others?"

　Xian Kui looked incredulous.

　Cong Yu wasn't entirely clear on this either. He shrugged and said, "My extinction spell was supposed to be able to exist with two hosts at the same time."

　The premise is that the degree of fit is truly sufficient to transcend basic theory.

　According to Yuan An's own account, the compatibility between Xian Kui and Yuan An Apophis has been confirmed to be extremely high.

　Ah, it's too late.

　Source Darkness Apophis spoke weakly.

　I already said it, you've ruined a promising talent.

　"..." Huh? Oh, this...

　Option B is invalid!

　Chapter 728 Evenly Matched in Strength!

　"Congratulations, you've become a girl."

　A handsome, long-haired man in casual clothes stood next to the woman in the white coat who was in charge of the surgery and spoke to the girl on the hospital bed.

　The girl on the hospital bed stared wide-eyed at the woman in front of her, looking somewhat dazed.

　After a long while, as she recovered from the anesthesia, she slowly asked, "I was originally a woman, wasn't I?"

　Oh, that seems to be true.

　The woman in the white coat, who was thinking this, coughed lightly: "To be more precise, congratulations on becoming a healthy person."

　"..." The girl didn't speak again, but tilted her head and fell into deep thought. After a long while, she raised her head and asked again, "I won't die?"

　The long-haired man responded quickly...

　"Yes, you won't die, as long as you stay alive... then you can keep singing until you perish with the world."

　Cong Yu... Yes, this is Cong Yu.

　Cong Yu said this in a unique way, expressing the sentiment that "as long as you live, then you can live," in a very poetic way.

　So much so that neither the leader of the 71st Group nor the girl noticed the flaw in his words.

　Upon receiving this reply, the girl didn't know what expression to make, and could only respond, "Thank you."

　Then, in another moment of silence.

　The girl, whose terminal illness was successfully covered up by her identity as a "magical girl" and who was cured, finally revealed a faint smile.

　Then, feeling sleepy, she buried herself in the blankets, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

　"The surgery was a success..."

　As Cong Yu said this, he walked out of the operating room together with the leader of the 71st Group.

　I have to say, the architectural style here makes it look like a proper hospital... The doctors' area looks more like a laboratory.

　The patient, lying on the doctor's bed, didn't seem like a proper patient, but rather like a test subject or a small...

　White rat.

　As for Cong Yu's words, the strange man dressed as a nurse or doctor who passed by and greeted him nodded in acknowledgment, and then responded...

　"Yes, the patient's mood and awareness really do determine the success rate of the surgery... It's so unreasonable."

　The leader of Group 71 looked quite emotional, much like a doctor tormented by various irrational situations.

　Having never experienced the tumultuous rain and the brutal beatings of the various magical girls around him, the leader of the 71st Group sighed, "Having washed away all the superficiality... is that it?"

　Yes, stripped of all artifice.

　Those selected in the previous auditions were people whose bodies were completely ruined and who were slowly preparing to face their death.

　They are children who have experienced the full spectrum of human emotions.

　It's almost inevitable that someone who has shed all worldly desires through such enlightenment will become a magical girl.

　Today's entire transformation ceremony concluded successfully.

　Of course, male volunteers were temporarily excluded.

　After all, the transformation ritual currently controlled by the 71st Group can only guarantee a high success rate for women transforming into magical girls.

　For men...

　It's fair to say that there's a reason why there have always been very few magical boys in this world.

　"So, Cong Yu, you've come here to inspect the clinical trial results of the transformation ceremony?"

　The leader of Group 71 spoke, while recording something on a list on a table at the entrance of the group.

　Then, he casually put the pen on the table into his breast pocket, hanging it with the cap on.

　"On one hand..."

　Cong Yu replied by taking out his phone: "The doctor asked me to pass on a message to you."

　Saying something like, "The Imperial Army asked me to pass on a message to you," Cong Yu took out her phone and opened her chat history with the doctor.

　In response, the leader of the 71st Group turned his attention to Cong Yu's phone... which contained a conversation between the two.

　[Doctor: Come to the company headquarters, pick up the documents, and hand them over to my former subordinate...]

　[Cong Yu: ?]

　[Cong Yu: What information?]

　[Doctor: Data Report on the Monster Transformation Surgery]

　[Cong Yu: You're actually being so kind?]

　[Doctor: Not out of kindness]

　[Doctor: I simply had equal doubts about those guys' technical skills and academic level, so I felt it necessary to teach them a lesson.]

　[Cong Yu: Haha, alright then]

　[Doctor: Hmph, don't think I'm joking. In this respect, they're only fit to smell my exhaust fumes.]

　[Doctor: Without my data, it might take several more years before the conversion surgery can be expanded to include freaks!]

　[Cong Yu: Okay, okay, I'm coming over now]

　……

　The chat history abruptly ended.

　The leader of Group 71 watched helplessly as the doctor belittled the entire Group 71 during their conversation.

　This includes sections such as "only worthy of smelling exhaust fumes" and "questioning academic level".

　If she were just an ordinary researcher, I could tolerate it. But now that she's the leader, of course...!

　I tolerated it (i.e., answered).

　"Haha, that's true."

　The leader of the 71st Group immediately laughed, his words showing great admiration for the doctor: "Chief Fran... Fran has always had this attitude."

　"In her eyes, we will always just be ordinary researchers who work hard but lack talent."

　Cong Yu was not surprised by what the 71st leader said.

　After all, the doctor's skill level is indeed very high, so high that it is not surprising that his former subordinates still maintain respect for him.

　"The information is here."

　As Cong Yu said this, she simply took out a large stack of thick printed papers from thin air and handed them to the other party.

　Is this all?

　Cong Yu really wanted to say something like, "These are just catalogs," to the leader of the 71st Group.

　Unfortunately, the other person is probably not the type to show surprise, nor will they understand the memes formed by these fixed tropes in movies or comics.

　Instead, they would quietly wait for Cong Yu to bring out all the information.

　That would be too boring.

　Therefore, Cong Yu decisively abandoned this idea and honestly replied, "Yes, that's all."

　A truthful response!

　From now on, please call Cong Yu "Honest Man"!

　“Furthermore, I need to warn you—Moire is very likely to turn his attention this way and send angels to kill you.”

　As Cong Yu said this, he asked a very crucial and important question: "Your strength... how strong are you all?"

　You could have just asked the leader, since the leader is usually the weirdo who's the best fighter.

　However, the situation of the 71st Group is similar to that of the 22nd Group.

　The group does not determine its status based on strength.

　Although the leader of the 22nd Group was already quite strong at the leadership level, he was still no match for the top-notch officers under his command.

　It can only be said that there are still some shortcomings.

　(Doctor: Huh?)

　Oh, except for doctors. Doctors' fighting skills are even worse than those of lowly monsters...probably at the ant level.

　In more belligerent groups, let alone officers, even those who voluntarily join as lowly foot soldiers are likely to be sought after.

　They were turned away.

　(The belligerent group: You'd better find someone else!)

　When asked about Cong Yu's question, the leader of the 71st Group hesitated and said, "Well... how should I put it?"

　After a moment's hesitation, she explained in a more tactful way: "Our strength is about the same as the old chief's!"

　"..." That's incredibly weak!

　Chapter 729 Comparing Little Blue to Immortal King—

　Question-

　Now, all over the world, people are eating hot pot and singing songs, living a fairly comfortable life.

　But suddenly they discovered that there was an old bandit above them, and they could then send some rather capable junior bandits to rob them.

　Moreover, it seems that recently, a bandit named Moirai has been targeting a group of villagers who are truly defenseless.

　These villagers can not only tether chickens, but they can even leap up and give wild fish a few tails before jumping back into the water.

　So what should we do in this situation?

　"Initially, we thought it would be good to find them some bodyguards, but after thinking about it, we couldn't find any suitable candidates."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she discussed the 71st Group with Xian Kui: "It's not an option to ask them to move out."
