Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Fortunately, Hong led her astray, and then today... after Lan Tianzhu rescued her mother-in-law and granddaughter, she finally came out of that situation.

　However, I didn't feel too relaxed.

　Because it's really too dangerous.

　This battle was just a hair's breadth away from "mutual destruction"... it really was just a hair's breadth away.

　"I'm starting to regret it."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, he rudely tossed the lollipop stick out onto the balcony: "Let's do it again, I'll win even more beautifully."

　This was an unexpected answer from Cong Yu.

　"Doesn't that mean you'll still choose 'going up'?"

　As Cong Yu spoke, she reached out and pinched Lan Tianzhu's nose, saying, "I won't accuse you of being reckless, but..."

　As she said this, Cong Yu felt that Lan Tianzhu was pressing a little too close, so she moved her body slightly away.

　But Lan Tianzhu immediately pressed closer, as if completely unaware: "But what?"

　Well, it doesn’t matter.

　This is just Xiao Lan's routine operation.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu stopped worrying about it and continued, "However, if you die, I and everyone else will be very sad."

　"..."

　"Yes, that's why I regret it... I personally don't really care."

　As Lan Tianzhu spoke, she hugged Cong Yu's arm and said, "I'm afraid of dying... I used to be afraid of dying before I could become someone like Senior Hong, but now I'm afraid of hurting you if I die."

　"My life is enriched by your presence; it is because of you that I have the courage to feel regret."

　Cong Yu didn't express any opinion on Lan Tianzhu's words, but simply smiled and said, "I see..."

　Cong Yu sounds to be in a good mood.

　The voice, tinged with laughter, was like the chirping of cicadas in summer, or the crisp sound of a marble being pressed.

　Like a faint fragrance and fireflies dancing in the night sky, like the gentle silence after a lively discussion.

　Just like skewers grilled over charcoal, they exude a sense of "family" and the warmth of home cooking.

　This "warmth" swept away the fallen yellow roses in Lan Tianzhu's heart, gently pulling her out of the dizzying scent of death.

　This made her unable to resist staring into Cong Yu's eyes.

　This brought her face closer and closer until she could clearly hear and feel Cong Yu's peaceful breathing.

　Then...

　"Xiao Lan, Cong Yu Jiang, what are you doing?"

　"..."

　"!!!"

　"!!!" Chapter 809 Xiao Cui Knows the Biggest Secret in the Entire Book

　For Lantian Zhu at this moment.

　She doesn't need approval, because she herself doesn't approve of her reckless actions and has even begun to regret them.

　She doesn't need to reprimand anyone, because even if the situation were to repeat itself, she would still choose to rush in and save people.

　There's not even a need to worry about or review the battle.

　Lan Tianzhu is not uncommon to care about such things.

　After a bloody battle, it's only natural for a magical girl born in Central City to summarize the situation.

　If we translate this to a visual novel, it would roughly mean five options floating in front of the player—

　You did the right thing.

　But I still don't want anything to happen to you.

　When you were injured, did it hurt a lot?

　What was it like fighting a four-winged angel?

　[I see…]

　"..." Of these five options, only one can win favor, and very few people can figure it out...

　Actually, the answer that instantly transported Lan Tianzhu's feelings from the starry night balcony to the living room and bedroom was "Oh, I see..."

　Of course, Cong Yu wasn't saying that just to gain favor.

　Maybe it's because it's so far away...

　Cong Yu is already quite distant, as distant as someone who is forever gazing into the distance where there is nothing.

　Until he was captured by the gravity of a planet named Yaochuan Guang, his asteroid was ultimately too far away, so he was able to understand Lantian Zhu's frustration.

　Therefore, he calmly stated that he understood.

　These words ultimately allowed his already unrestrained charm to completely capture Lan Tianzhu's heart.

　If Lantianzhu is a bird that is always free, but occasionally captured by "predecessors", "past", and "alleys".

　At this moment, the rain is like soft, comfortable hay, well-shaped twigs, dry leaves, and warm down.

　Yes.

　Lantianzhu couldn't help but want to build a nest in the night.

　Of course, it's impossible to start building a nest right away, since Yaochuan and the others are all at home. But it's still possible to make some preparations for nest building beforehand.

　However, Lan Tianzhu couldn't help but lean her face closer, while Cong Yu stood there smiling and waiting...

　"Xiao Lan, Cong Yu Jiang, what are you doing?"

　"..."

　"!!!"

　"!!!" Wow! Light!

　Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu jumped back as if they had been electrocuted, and the two who were close together immediately separated.

　Then, the two of them looked at Yaochuan Guang behind them with perfect synchronization. Yaochuan Guang was rubbing his sleepy eyes.

　Oh no, isn't this just catching... you know?

　Lan Tianzhu pondered for a moment and began to consider whether he should kneel down and slide on the spot... That's just how it is in Japan.

　There's nothing that a bow can't solve.

　Even if the mistress discovers you're having an affair, you can still resolve it by bowing... and if that doesn't work, just dogeza (a deep bow in apology)!

　Before she actually sat down, Cong Yu spoke first: "Um... I'm concerned about Lan Tianzhu's mental state, and I'm having a heart-to-heart talk with her, just like when I talked to you before."

　"..." Yaochuan Guang nodded knowingly and said, "That was a long time ago... Congyu-chan tricked us so badly back then."

　Yaochuan Guang's words relieved Lantian Zhu and Congyu—it seemed that Xiao Guang hadn't discovered anything as usual.

　"However, I just saw you hugging Congyu-chan, Xiaolan..." and your hand was even on her waist.

　Upon hearing this, Cong Yu's expression remained unchanged, while Lan Tianzhu's expression froze instantly... Although it was brief, it was enough for Yao Chuan Guang to catch it.

　"Oh - so I knew it..."

　As Yaochuan Guang spoke, he scrutinized Lantian Zhu and Cong Yu, but before she could say anything, Lantian Zhu immediately spoke up—

　"Ah, Xiaoguang, you just misread it."

　As she said this, Lan Tianzhu immediately changed the subject, saying, "Xiao Guang, did you and Cong Yu have a heart-to-heart talk here before?"

　Yaochuan Guang was taken aback by Lantian Zhu's words at first, then his attention was diverted: "Yeah, that's right..."

　"Not long after I met Congyu-chan, didn't her manager send a message saying that Fuuto had transformed into Half-King Osamu?"

　"Congyu-chan had a heart-to-heart talk with me because of that incident. At that time, I thought Congyu-chan was just an ordinary person, and I even left my coat for him to wear to prevent him from catching a cold... Hmm, Congyu-chan must have been secretly laughing to himself at that time."

　Cong Yu couldn't refute Yao Chuan's angry complaints and could only laugh twice.

　Looking back, did I secretly chuckle to myself back then?

　Cong Yu herself doesn't quite remember.

　"yawn--"

　Yao Chuanguang yawned, then left the balcony: "I'm going back to sleep now, you guys should go to sleep early too—"

　With that, Yaochuan Guang returned to his room.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　The two were silent for a moment, then Cong Yu reached out and tapped Lan Tianzhu's head twice with her knuckles: "Seriously, you..."

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's gentle tap, Lan Tianzhu immediately stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes as if she had been beaten to death, and cried out, "Waaah, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm going to be beaten to death!"

　This nonchalant tone was a bit too much of a prank, so Cong Yu, who was playing the prank, withdrew her hand and stopped attacking Lan Tianzhu's forehead.

　Lan Tianzhu held his head in his hands, his tone slightly wistful: "Thankfully... Xiaoguang didn't discover our shady dealings."

　Shenjin, we haven't even begun to live a life of ignominy yet!

　"is that so?"

　Cong Yu began, speaking in a manner befitting someone shaped like a cross, then paused for a moment: "Or perhaps..."

　"She just doesn't want to get involved, or she doesn't care about this kind of thing at all, but she's too embarrassed to say it outright?"

　Cong Yu's speculation prompted Lan Tianzhu to imagine this possibility... and then his feelings became complicated.

　Overjoyed and drenched in sweat, thoughts of "This is good" and "This will be a lot of trouble" arose at the same time.

　Amidst the clash of these complex emotions and thoughts, Lan Tianzhu experienced a strange feeling.

　It is called a sense of immorality.

　After confirming that the restless and eager feeling that had welled up in his heart was a sense of immorality, Lan Tianzhu spoke simply and clearly.

　"That's pretty exciting."

　She said this...

　"..." Cong Yu: Hopeless—

　-

　"Sister Yaochuan?"

　Lying in bed, Xiao Cui looked curiously at Yao Chuan Guang, who was deep in thought in the darkness: "What are you thinking about?"

　Upon hearing Xiao Cui's words, Yao Chuan Guang leaned closer mysteriously and whispered, "I've discovered that Xiao Lan might like..."

　Huan Congyu Sauce.

　Xiao Cui: "!!!"

　You actually found out? No…

　You only just realized it now?

　Xiao Cui, who also liked Cong Yu, twitched her lips and tentatively asked, "Eh? What is Sister Yao Chuan planning to do?"

　After Xiao Cui asked the question, Yao Chuan Guang made a "shh" gesture, indicating that Xiao Cui should not speak too loudly, otherwise it would disturb Teacher Hong's sleep.

　"I don't know what to do... the key question is what to do about Congyu-chan."

　As he said this, Hikaru Yaochuan lowered his voice, his tone filled with a "watching the show" attitude: "Aren't there many people who like Congyu-chan?"

　"The monster king, doctor, BOSS, big shadow and small shadow on Yuki-onna's side are all... Now I find out that Xiao Lan also likes Murasame-chan."

　"No matter what choice Congyu-chan makes in the end, I feel like something terrible is going to happen. Will she get hacked to pieces? Or will she build a harem?"

　Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment before exclaiming in surprise at Yao Chuan Guang's obvious gossip, "Hiss... So, Yao Chuan-neechan, do you like Cong Yu-chan?"

　"..."

　"Hey, well..."
