Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Are you hungry? Have you had dinner?

　After changing his shoes, Yaochuan Guang asked, took off his coat and put it on the sofa, and made a move to go to the kitchen.

　"Ah."

　Xiao Lan looked up and replied expressionlessly, "Hong bought some food for us. You can prepare your own portions."

　Huh? That's a very proactive response.

　I feel like Little Blue is acting strange today.

　Yao Chuan Guang gave a scrutinizing look, then looked around, prompting Cong Yu, who was sitting down, to ask, "What are you looking at?"

　In response, Yao Chuanguang continued to look around, saying, "Xiao Lan seems a bit strange. I'm checking to see if Xiao Lan has destroyed anything."

　Demolishing the house is quite something.

　Do you think Lan Tianzhu is you?

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Xiao Cui raised a hand and said, "I want to report Sister Lan Tian."

　Wow! Report it!

　Yaochuan Guang blinked, glanced at Lantian Zhu who had looked away, and sat down with a smile in her eyes.

　Let's hear what Xiao Cui wants to report first, then we can cook some ramen (instant noodles) later.

　Cong Yu waited with a smile for Xiao Cui's words.

　However, Xiao Cui only used one sentence to instantly change their expressions—

　"Sister Blue Sky went to fight the angel. When she saw that it was a four-winged angel, she rushed up and almost died together with it."

　Huh? Little Blue, it's you?!

　Didn't we agree that in case of an emergency, we should immediately contact Cong Yu or the 22nd Group?

　Despite the probing glares from Yaochuan Guang and Congyu, Lantian Zhu remained expressionless. She scratched her face and turned her head away, saying, "It's not that serious."

　"I'm not that easy to die now unless I get blasted halfway through my body... I just look a bit pathetic."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu, who seemed to have fully recovered, defended himself: "I only went because I was confident. I am Lan Tianzhu, not a hot-blooded idiot like Xiaoguang."

　That's not wrong.

　Xiao Lan isn't the type to act impulsively just because she's hot-blooded. Although she can be just as reckless when the time is right.

　It was evident when they wanted to remove Red from the monster group.

　If Lan Tianzhu is determined to do something, she will do it without hesitation, even to the point of being a little too decisive.

　"But that's no excuse for you, Xiao Lan, to go into battle without informing everyone... You should at least have told Teacher Hong, right?"

　As Yaochuan Guang said this, he was not going to refute Lantian Zhu's label of him as a "hot-blooded idiot".

　"I just..."

　Just as Lan Tianzhu was about to explain, there was a sudden knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, a somewhat aged voice came in—

　"Knock knock knock... Ahem, is Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Chan here? I brought my granddaughter to thank you for today's matter."

　Everyone outside, except for Lan Tianzhu, looked surprised and turned to look at Xiao Lan...

　No, even Lan Tianzhu was somewhat taken aback.

　Although their residences and true identities are no longer a secret and can be found out relatively easily.

　However, due to certain unspoken rules and the security quality of this residential area belonging to the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency.

　Normally, no one can disturb their lives.

　The only change might be that when Yao Chuan Guang goes grocery shopping, he might meet fans and take photos with them, or receive shopping discounts from elderly people.

　Now, an old lady has come with her granddaughter to express her gratitude?

　In fact, it is the duty of magical girls to save people, and usually no one will come to thank them specifically because they have been saved.

　Today is quite novel.

　"Here...here I am."

　Clearly not expecting this to happen, Lan Tianzhu could no longer maintain her composure and awkwardly went to the entrance to open the door.

　Then, under everyone's gaze, the old woman, feeling uneasy and forced to express her gratitude, spoke with a little girl.

　The other party seemed very grateful to Lan Tianzhu and even brought some gifts... which looked like local specialties.

　"..."

　"Ah, that old lady is..."

　Xiao Cui spoke softly, addressing the other gossiping folks: "Grandma Yamaguchi from Fengsha Village is a good person... her grandson..."

　The girl was quite well-mannered, unlike the other children.

　As everyone knows, Fengsha Village is a poor and remote place with many unruly people... Xiao Cui was exhausted both mentally and physically during her time in Fengsha Village.

　So, is this old lady from Yamaguchi here for tourism in Futo?

　"..."

　"Thank you so much. If the angel had... if something had happened to Xiaoyou, I... I really wouldn't know how to explain it to her parents... Come on, say thank you."

　"Thank you, magical girl sister."

　"..." Lan Tianzhu seemed quite embarrassed by what they had done.

　Judging from this, Cong Yu looked at the shy little girl with short blue hair hiding behind the old woman from the Yamaguchi area.

　After looking at the little girl, Cong Yu looked at Lan Tianzhu and suddenly realized why Lan Tianzhu had rushed up to the archangel so recklessly.

　"I see... then that's understandable."

　As Congyu spoke, Yaochuan Guang curiously shifted his gaze from the doorway to Congyu: "Eh? Congyu-chan, what are you saying?"

　He asked that first, then Yao Chuanguang immediately stood up from the sofa: "Hmm, never mind, let's go cook some instant noodles—"

　"Anyway, Xiao Lan was just trying to save someone in an emergency!"

　As Yao Chuan Guang said this, he showed an expression of agreement: "It must be to save people, so Xiao Lan went straight to fight the four-winged angel."

　"Little Blue is actually very kind-hearted—"

　"..." Well, that's about right—

　Chapter 808 Hurry up and train teachers (loud voice)

　Lan Tianzhu is not a kind-hearted person.

　Cong Yu was very clear about this.

　You could even say that, at times, Nagisa Azuma is quite like a magical girl from a bygone era...

　If she encounters danger or unexpected situations, she will prioritize the overall situation... for example, the four-winged angel.

　Lan Tianzhu himself knew that although he could easily get past the "two wings," whether he could get past the "four wings" was another matter entirely...

　It's not that it's completely impossible.

　It can only be said that she herself was not confident.

　She would naturally be cautious about doing things she wasn't sure about—even if she had to fight, she would first notify others to protect her.

　Even if a passerby is being harmed, it is the same.

　It's even foreseeable that the same applies to situations where "if we don't act soon, the angels will use their special beam cannons to wipe out the entire city of Fuuto!"

　Lan Tianzhu will think things through, rather than blindly trying to save someone.

　It's obvious and reasonable that Nagisa Azuma isn't a hot-blooded magical girl like Hikaru Yokawa.

　However, there are times when I still feel that I have to do it.

　is required.

　If we don't rush in and fight the angel, we might regret it for the rest of our lives... So, it's better to be confident.

　We absolutely have to go!

　"..." That's what she was thinking at the time.

　"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

　Lan Tianzhu stood on the balcony looking at the stars, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, when she heard Cong Yu's voice behind her.

　What to say?

　This can be considered one of their signature venues.

　Previously, when Yaochuan Guang was in a state of ecstasy, she was also leaning on this railing... and then Congyu came to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

　Now, when Lan Tianzhu has something on her mind, she chooses to lean on the railing, stick her butt out, eat candy, and look at the stars, not knowing what she's thinking.

　"Hmm, I can't sleep well."

　Lan Tianzhu answered, turned to look at Cong Yu, then turned his head away again. After a while, he said, "I'm sweating a little."

　The connection between these sentences is almost nonexistent.

　While it's described as a pun, it seems a bit too much of a stream-of-consciousness approach.

　But Cong Yu still understood that the so-called "cold sweat" meant more than just "sweating and unable to sleep".

　After all, magical girls shouldn't be sweating because of the heat of this season... The changing seasons don't really matter.

　Lantianzhu means something like, "Thinking back on what happened today, I break out in a cold sweat."

　"So, you really did have a tough time winning?"

　Cong Yu asked this question as she walked to Lan Tianzhu's side, resting her hand on the railing in a similar posture: "It's at least much more difficult than you casually glossing over it, isn't it?"

　Tonight, while Yaochuan Guang and Cong Yu were eating instant noodles, Lantian Zhu briefly recounted how she rushed up to fight the angel and save people.

　However, she spoke in a very simple and matter-of-fact manner, as if she had easily won the victory.

　Xiao Cui didn't say anything during this process.

　So that matter was over.

　However, just as Xiao Cui had said before, the battle was undoubtedly at the point of "almost mutual destruction".

　"..."

　"Yes, it's difficult and dangerous."

　After a brief silence, Lan Tianzhu continued to say the same thing, after all, she knew... Cong Yu already knew almost everything.

　There's no point in keeping it from Cong Yu anymore, after all, he's not Xiao Guang.

　(Yaochuan Guang: Gulp?)

　"..." After another silence, Lan Tianzhu stared at the beautiful starry sky and briefly summarized: "Let me put it this way... if Xiao Cui hadn't urgently sent the little elves into battle, I might already be dead."

　Even with such a simple statement about the possibility of "death," Nagisa Azuma did not show any interest in the battle.

　The situation was described in too much detail.

　This left Cong Yu, like the reader, completely unaware of the specifics of the battle.

　"I see... It was 'almost dead'? That's a bit unexpected."

　Cong Yu responded in this way, and Lan Tianzhu immediately replied: "Yeah, I never thought... that I would be so resolute one day."

　Logically speaking, Lan Tianzhu would appear rather cowardly when facing an enemy that he cannot defeat or is unsure whether he can defeat.

　Just like back in Central City, when the loudspeaker that prayed for the "Attack!" announcement was broadcast.

　Cong Yu also guessed the reason.

　"Because that mother-in-law and granddaughter reminded you of your own grandmother and you... so you felt you had to do it."

　Cong Yu's simple words startled Lan Tianzhu, whose expression then became complicated: "As expected of you."

　Lan Tianzhu's past was only mentioned briefly two years ago, and she didn't expect Cong Yu to remember it so well, and even connect it to this matter.

　And the facts are exactly as Cong Yu said.

　Just as Batman never leaves the alley, Lan Tianzhu always lingers in that alley...
