Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　What changes is only the characteristics of the manifestation; the nature of the substance itself will not and cannot change much.

　It's even more impossible for them to control the generation of two different magical powers, let alone to convert between them...

　Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that when Yaochuan Guang showed her own special qualities, the shock on the faces of the doctor and Cong Yu was not exaggerated.

　"..." Lan Tianzhu felt that all the magic power in her body was gone, and she even began to feel weak: "Is...is it okay?"

　If the magical energy consumption reaches a certain level, the magical girl will feel intense drowsiness and weakness.

　It's even possible that they might fall into a coma.

　The doctor's response was ruthless; she didn't believe in weakness, only in the displayed magical data.

　"Absolutely not."

　The doctor said this, glanced at the screen, and then turned to look at Lan Tianzhu: "In fact, it's far from perfect."

　Judging from the readings of Lan Tianzhu's physical condition displayed on the computer screen, she was not "emptying her magic" at this moment.

　Rather, it's more accurate to say that Lantianzhu has far too much room for maneuver.

　Under normal circumstances, only a small amount of residual magic power should remain in the heart, which the doctor should then guide and dispel.

　At this moment, although Lan Tianzhu appeared to have exhausted all his strength, he still retained more than ten times the "little" amount of magic power.

　That's too many.

　There were so many that it made one wonder if she was playing a prank.

　The doctor hesitated for a moment, then, realizing something, turned to look at Cong Yu: "I need some help."

　As he spoke, under Cong Yu's gaze, the doctor offered his speculation: "The biomass within Lan Tianzhu's body contains magical power."

　"This change, along with the encroachment of the demon-supplying organization, has become the underlying logic of her entire being... She cannot handle it according to her own will."

　"She has way too many 'hearts' inside her."

　Classic underlying logic.

　Thinking this through, Cong Yu, who didn't know much about this, immediately asked, "Then what should we do? Cut them all off?"

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "!!!"

　Seeing the fear on Lan Tianzhu's face, Yao Chuanguang, who was watching from the side, chuckled: "Don't worry, Lan, I would never hurt you."

　Xiao Cui also looked very happy.

　As for Yaochuan Guang's hehe...

　The doctor spoke simply, nodding in agreement with Cong Yu's plan: "This is one method, and it's quite direct."

　Hikaru Yokawa: Hehe... Eh?

　Lantianzhu: No, not at all.

　Seeing the obvious stern look on Lan Tianzhu's face, Cong Yu, who was slowly approaching, didn't waste any more words: "Are there any other options?"

　Of course, there are.

　"Just like the treatment we did for the Red Heart back then, we'll channel the magic out... but because it will take longer, there are risks involved."

　The doctor spoke, awaiting Cong Yu's decision, explaining, "Prolonged isolation from the magic power in her organs could lead to her sudden death."

　"In comparison, cutting is actually a safer and more conservative approach. The only problem is..."

　As he said this, the doctor rested his chin on his hand and looked at Lan Tianzhu: "Given the state of her body, which is like molten lava, anesthesia and pain relief will not work for her, and she will need to empty her mind during this process."

　In other words, it means performing internal organ surgery without anesthesia.

　After understanding it this way, Cong Yu felt a little horrified just thinking about it: "Isn't this too painful? Are there any other methods?"

　Of course there is.

　“We can choose to give up, after all, no one can guarantee how much the magical power will increase after the fusion... Lan Tianzhu’s situation is special, and it is not suitable to take such a risk.”

　The doctor's response was very rational, and Lan Tianzhu had already understood their conversation, summarizing: "In other words, the only difficulty is that it will be very painful, and I need to endure the pain and keep my mind blank..."

　Speak the facts clearly and simply, Lan Tianzhu tilted her head and looked at the doctor and Cong Yu: "It's just pain... is that all?"

　If it must be (only)

　To summarize, that is indeed the case.

　But this is really not appropriate.

　Cong Yu was speechless, and even the doctor couldn't help but admire her: "Is your question your answer?"

　Lan Tianzhu nodded in agreement.

　"If the only risk is pain, then it's the same as no risk at all... So let's go!!"

　Although Xiao Cui and Yao Chuan Guang didn't quite understand Lan Tian Zhu's somewhat eccentric behavior, they were still greatly shocked.

　I have serious doubts about the mental state of modern magical girls.

　Lantian Zhu: I'm going to merge with Cong Yu today, I said it! Nobody can stop me, not even X-Su!

　-

　"Ahhhh!!!!"

　"Oh my god!!! F♀Q!! Oh!"

　"Mmm...ahhh!!"

　"..." The mermaid who was passing by heard the sound and stopped in her tracks, carrying documents that she was about to have the doctor sign...

　Listening to the commotion coming from the direction of the doctor's lab, the merman monster pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized—

　Alright! You're not including me in this SM game, huh?!

　The mermaid monster is furious!

　Chapter 796 The So-Called Hero

　Does anyone have any understanding of the word "brave"?

　Let's think about what a "hero" is... Let's take a look back at the anime and manga of the past.

　In various Japanese RPGs, the hero is the chosen one, selected by fate, gods, or a holy sword.

　It's a certain profession...

　Yes, in today's understanding, being a hero might be a profession.

　There is no such thing as "destiny" or "predestination." In fact, anyone who is "summoned" is a hero.

　There might even be multiple heroes...

　Moreover, sometimes anime works feature many heroes, or even many different heroes at the same time.

　Each person wields a different weapon, which determines the inexplicable profession they are assigned when they are "summoned".

　Even when necessary, you can freely enter other players' homes in the game and steal some items (which is quite reasonable).

　But is this really how it should be?

　A hero who was blessed and favored by the gods, or born with a certain bloodline and mission.

　It must be admitted that this is indeed the act of a brave person.

　But if we focus on the very beginning, on the simplest word "brave"... the combination of "brave" and "hero".

　A person who possesses courage is a hero.

　Perhaps he was just a boy from a village, or perhaps just an ordinary person dissatisfied with the Demon King's rule...

　A person who, through a series of unexpected events, realized that "I must do something" and then mustered the "courage" to fight the world-destroying demon king.

　You will feel lost, frustrated, and sad.

　But they also possess courage, standing up to protect others when everyone else is timid and retreating, and fighting for the justice in their hearts.

　Even if they know they are no match, it is precisely because they know they are no match.

　This is... a hero.

　Those who understand fear, yet still choose to confront it head-on, those who face fear with a smile—that is true courage.

　And Lan Tianzhu has never lacked this courage.

　Even though she enjoys playing pranks, even though she's lazy and always sleepy, even though she's filled with trepidation, she's destined to be a hero.

　The worse the situation gets, the more Lan Tianzhu will stand out.

　If it were a world where everything was already "finished and rested," Nagisa Azuma would probably carry everything on his shoulders and save everything with courage.

　And at this moment, the familiar Blue Sky Nagisa is not stingy in exchanging "mere pain" for the right to protect what she cherishes.

　"Hahaha! This is power! I feel the power!"

　Laughing loudly, Lan Tianzhu intermittently spewed out small, azure flames from its mouth... like a Thunderjaw Dragon biting its prey.

　Then, in the next instant, Lan Tianzhu realized that she was breathing fire, and she immediately covered her mouth in confusion.

　However, she then put that question aside.

　"Jie Jie Jie!"

　With that strange laugh, Lan Tianzhu felt an unprecedented surge of magic power within him, and raised his hands, clenching his fists: "I've never felt so wonderful before, please cheer for me, cheer for me... cheer for me!"

　Bold!

　Cong Yu rolled her eyes at Lan Tianzhu, then exchanged a glance with the doctor before turning back to ask, "How much has your magic power increased?"

　Yao Chuanguang and Xiao Cui were also very curious about this question.

　Especially Xiao Cui, because she will also have to undergo a similar surgery later... but if she has to be scalded while conscious, just like Sister Lan Tian.

　Xiao Cui felt it was better to give up.

　In this regard, everyone admires Lan Tianzhu and acknowledges that he is absolutely the strongest in this area.

　A tribute to the legendary pain-endurance king, Xiao Lan!

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Lan Tianzhu sensed it for a moment, then revealed a confident smile: "The mass has solidified by about three or four times, while the magical power has increased tenfold or even ninefold in one go!!!"

　This result is far better than Cong Yu and the doctor predicted, which may prove that Lan Tianzhu is a genius!

　The power of magical girls! The power of monsters!

　都

　To be used by her, hahaha!!!

　As for the pride and joy in Lan Tianzhu's eyes, Hong couldn't help but speak for the silent Cong Yu and the doctor: "The effect is indeed very good... After all, you are no longer human."

　Doesn't look like a human? What does that mean?

　The doctor remained silent, only showing Lan Tianzhu the computer screen, despite the confusion in her eyes.

　The image shows the shadow of Azuma Nagisa's body.

　Visibly, the area from Lan Tianzhu's neck down is evenly covered with "X" shaped markings.

　The only marking on the heart area is a question mark, which is indeed in the shape of a question mark.

　"Aside from a series of... well, reproductive organs that are still preserved for some reason, there's nothing left in your body."

　"At least there are no conventional organs that can be easily identified."

　The doctor explained simply, somewhat amazed by the incredible abilities of these magical girls... How come all the magical girls around Cong Yu are so strangely shaped?

　When the doctor first met Kurenai, he thought she was strange for a magical girl, but now that he sees her...

　Compared to these three little ones, Hongxiawu Hong is simply a nobody.

　The reason why Lan Tianzhu's reproductive system was not "turned into flames with his remains"... well, it was probably preserved by his obsession?

　The doctor was kept in the dark for the time being and genuinely suspected that Lan Tianzhu and Cong Yu might have had something going on.

　(Lan Tianzhu: You're slandering me! You're defaming me!)

　"Your body is rather loose, but the fire within you makes up for that... well, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

　As the doctor spoke, she coughed lightly, offering words of comfort to Lan Tianzhu, who seemed to be deep in thought.

　"But on the bright side, you might be the first magical girl in history without any weakness in your heart."
