Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　If that moment comes, she still won't be able to do anything.

　Just like this time, they couldn't defeat the angels, or even stop them... all they could do was evacuate the innocent civilians.

　That was all she could do to help.

　"..." Yaochuan Guang's heart was pounding, and even though she was lying down and staring at the ceiling, she still felt a little tired.

　Then, from beside him, at the other end of the bed, came Xiao Cui's remarkably clear voice—

　"Sister Yaochuan, what are you thinking about?"

　Hearing Xiao Cui's very low voice, Yao Chuan Guang didn't know whether he should answer honestly...

　Would it seem like I'm being overly pessimistic if I said it out loud? Maybe Congyu-chan is still the most invincible person in the world.

　It was only because I needed to gather information during the battle that it took so long and made me feel so tired.

　Before Yaochuan Guang could say anything, Lantian Zhu's calm voice rang out first: "I'm worried about Congyu and the future."

　Lantianzhu's summary is very accurate.

　After all, Yaochuan Guang wasn't worried about Congyu, nor was he worried about the future... but rather about Congyu's future and the future where Congyu was.

　"Huh? Little Blue, how did you know?"

　As Yaochuan Guang asked this question, she turned her head and saw blue and emerald green eyes that were also open.

　Through the snoring Hong, Yaochuan Guang met their gazes.

　It seems that everyone except Red has figured out the problem... the power has reached its limit.

　If Cong Yu's power and violence represent the pinnacle of this world, then the six-winged angels are (pinnacle-1).

　It's just a matter of subtracting one.

　It's going to be tough for Congyu-chan afterwards...

　However, Ms. Hong seemed quite at ease, even though she didn't feel there was anything particularly special about her.

　But she was indeed the one who most "blindly believed" in Cong Yu.

　Hongxiawuhong never believed that Congyu would lose.

　This is not a good thing, because if you think about it from a slightly more rational perspective, you'll know that the situation will be worse afterward.

　"Is there anything we can do to help Congyu-chan?"

　Yao Chuanguang couldn't help but ask this question, and she opened her mouth softly, seeking help from the clever Xiao Lan and the witty Xiao Cui.

　In other words, she wanted to know how to become stronger...

　But this is a very old and familiar problem.

　If becoming stronger were as simple as wishing, and one could directly become stronger through arduous training, then the magical girls wouldn't have faced such difficult circumstances.

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Red: "Magic."

　"..." The moment Hong uttered the word "magic," Yaochuan Guang and the others were startled. She couldn't help but ask, "Eh? Hong-sensei, you were awake all along?"

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's words, Hong helplessly scratched her head and sat up on the large bed: "I was woken up by you guys."

　Although everyone was keeping their voices down, Hong's previous living environment was not very stable... The slightest noise could wake her up.

　In this respect, Lantianzhu is about the same.

　"The key to the problem is magic."

　Hong repeated, rubbing her temples, "I'm the same way... Our spells are sophisticated and useful enough, and quite suitable for our battles, but the amount of magic power can't keep up."

　Cong Yu's Jormungandr train seems invincible, capable of cutting through anything. But that's built on his mana expenditure.

　If only a small portion of the magic is used, then the summoned Jormungandr train will be nothing more than an empty shell.

　It's already quite an achievement to be able to knock someone to the ground.

　"The only one whose magic quality can be considered acceptable is Hikaru Yokawa... and even then, it's only acceptable."

　As Hong said this, resting her chin on her hand, she continued, "I'd barely qualify as 'excellent'... while Xiao Cui doesn't deserve it, and Lan Tianzhu is definitely 'disqualified'."

　Disqualification is acceptable.

　As for his own descendants

　Has the world really come to such a cruel point?

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　However, she couldn't refute it, even though her current magic reserves were higher than those of a typical magical girl.

　It's so high, I don't even know how high it is!

　Unfortunately, the magical reserves gained by dissolving and reconstructing his own flesh and blood were not enough for Lan Tianzhu to participate in battles with absurdly high intensity.

　Everyone knows this.

　Hong was also very clear about this, and as she looked at the "qualified" Yaochuan Guang: "And to reach the level of fighting alongside Congyu..."

　As he said this, Nijishita thought for a moment, then found the right words: "It has to reach at least the level of 'exceeding the standard' and 'breaking the standard'."

　Exceptional and unconventional...

　"How can I increase my magic power?"

　Yao Chuan Guang muttered to himself, then listed the things he needed to do: "Eat and drink your fill, get plenty of rest every day, use your magic more often, and stay alive."

　Yes, that's how magic grows.

　Of these, "staying alive" is the most important, so important that it makes people overlook the other two.

　In other words...

　Whether it's exercise or dietary supplements, the effect is minimal; the only thing that matters is that people who live longer have stronger magical qualities.

　Currently, it is basically only the Chinese who practice a method called "cultivation," which consumes magical power while maintaining their mental state to the extreme.

　In order to find an increase of about 4%.

　Although over time she can widen the gap with other magical girls, it still feels unnecessary.

　So……

　"How about we eat four meals a day from now on?"

　Yao Chuan Guang made this suggestion, but Xiao Cui immediately retorted, "I don't think that will work."

　Lan Tianzhu was also starting to lose her composure, but she managed to remain calm: "Aside from stuffing yourself to death, it probably won't do any good."

　makes sense……

　Sigh, isn't that a completely hopeless situation?

　"..."

　"However, there may be other methods... methods that ordinary people cannot use, and that you may not be able to use either."

　As she spoke, Hong sat on the bed, her beautiful crimson eyes sparkling in the darkness: "It's something that Cong Yu and I used; it's probably the 'answer' to the question of whether this world is 'powerful' or not."

　"However, I think that even if you can't use it, there should be something in this 'answer' that you can utilize, something in common with it..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "???"

　Yao Chuanguang: "???"

　Xiao Cui: "???"

　A riddle teller?!

　Chapter 792 Divine Artifacts and Gods

　"The analysis results are in."

　As the doctor spoke, she crossed her legs, held a cup of coffee, and glanced at the hourglass on the research table.

　"The total height of this thing, including the pillars and the base, is 250 millimeters, and its length and width are 90 millimeters."

　"This dimension is for calculating the outer pillar of the hourglass, and the width of the upper and lower bases also matches the hourglass body and the pillar."

　As he said this, the doctor looked at the report on the computer: "That's right, it's not just 250 millimeters, it's 250.00000 millimeters."

　"I suspect it is an absolutely precise 250 millimeters."

　Cong Yu wasn't too surprised by what the doctor said. He held his coffee and waited for the doctor to continue... He had made the coffee himself.

　"The analysis of the material is rather outrageous..."

　"The hourglass part of the hourglass looks like glass, and it looks like glass no matter how you look at it, but it is not glass."

　"In impact and scratch resistance tests, it exhibited extraordinary indestructibility... This is definitely not glass."

　"If it's glass, it's at least divine glass."

　As a scientist, the doctor didn't know how she managed to utter the words "divine glass"...

　It feels like I've killed my own science.

　"The pillar part appears to be made of a super polymer material, but it is not some kind of polymer... Oh, polymer is plastic."

　"It also exhibits similar toughness in tests involving high temperature, low temperature, and corrosion, yet it remains completely undamaged."

　"The same goes for the base; it looks like wood, and it has the texture and feel of wood, but it is an absolutely sturdy product."

　"As for the filling inside the hourglass, it also appears to be fine white sand, but its true nature is unknown... probably divine sand."

　Every time the doctor said something similar, he wanted to sigh: "Each of these particles is perfectly uniform."

　"They are exactly the same... Even when observed from the most microscopic perspective, it is impossible to find any difference between them."

　Having said all that, it seems like we've come up with a lot of information, but if we were to summarize...

　It simply resulted in the conclusion, "Holy crap! This is absolutely amazing!"

　"Finally, if you turn this hourglass upside down, the time it takes for it to go from being completely full to completely empty is 49.9 seconds."

　As the doctor spoke, he rested his chin on his hand and looked at the "miracle device," adding, "Absolutely 49.9000 seconds, possibly absolutely precise seconds... I don't understand why it's this number."

　Cong Yu didn't understand the doctor's words either, and was even more confused than before.

　untie……

　This is even more unreasonable than the 50 seconds that Cong Yu had previously perceived.

　"How could anyone in the world need to time it for 49.9 seconds?"

　Cong Yu still didn't understand, and even thought of things he understood even less: "Moreover, the concept of a second is something humans have given to time. Does 'God' really need a similar concept of time?"

　Yes, the doctor knows this very well.

　"Initially, the concept of a second was derived from the division of 'day,' but it was later redefined... You can search for it yourself if you're interested."

　As the doctor spoke, she took a sip of coffee and rubbed her eyes: "I remember it's related to atomic transition cycles, it's quite complicated."

　If you're interested, search for it yourself... Hmm, did you forget?

　Seeing Cong Yu's gaze, the doctor paused, then tilted his head and stubbornly said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that the explanation is too complicated, and I'm too lazy to go over it."

　Okay, okay... if you say so, then it is.

　Cong Yu wasn't in the mood to refute. He yawned and leaned back in his chair: "What a hassle, what a magical artifact."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, the doctor couldn't help but say, "Having obtained the divine artifact is better than not having it...that should be the case, right?"

　That's true.

　but……

　"But I don't know how to use it, just like divine power... even if I cover it with divine power, there is no reaction."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he sighed slightly, reached out and took away the hourglass, which could no longer be analyzed, and put it back into the Jormungandr train.

　Moirai is really troublesome.

　Whether they are "loving" someone or truly loving someone, they are all first-rate riddle-makers... Can't they just speak more clearly?
