Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Its primary function is not as a means of transportation.

　Just like the Jormungandr train in the Rain, its main purpose is not to kill enemies, but to serve as a means of transportation.

　"..."

　"Shh...shh...shh..."

　The wind was strong, and the sandstorm was heavy.

　Cong Yu stood in the center of this desolate land, looking around at the endless yellow earth and the blood-red setting sun.

　Countless swords, spears, halberds, broken blades, and shards were stuck and scattered on and around the mounds and hills.

　What to say?

　This place looks excessively cruel; it feels like a "battlefield forgotten by time."

　His gaze slowly swept across the surroundings, every inch of land seemingly telling the story of a bloody battle a thousand years ago...

　This is Li Township.

　"How does it feel?"

　As Chi You spoke, he was followed by two protectors, one black and one white. Standing beside Cong Yu, she watched the scene with Cong Yu.

　"Hmm...it's hard to say..."

　This was the only answer Cong Yu could give. He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance of the battlefield.

　Apart from this special area, the rest of the landscape is filled with beautiful jungles and plains.

　It feels like a very livable environment.

　This is the only special place.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Miss Chi You had already taken two steps away and then kicked out a piece of ancient broken blade from the ground.

　It looks like part of a broken sword, belonging to the side of the blade.

　Although countless years have probably passed, this fragment of the sword, unlike the other weapons here, has not been rusted... instead, it is as clean and new as ever, dazzlingly bright.

　Even the patterns on the fragments only show the scars left from past battles, without any trace of time.

　Chi You bent down, picked up the broken sword, and gently brushed away the dust.

　Cong Yu watched her movements quietly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Your old weapon?"

　Chi You did not directly answer Cong Yu's question, but simply shook his head and said, "I do not use a sword."

　As she said this, Miss Chiyou sighed, then briefly explained to Cong Yu, "The sword of an old friend."

　Although the explanation was vague, Cong Yu already had some guesses and didn't intend to ask any further questions.

　After all, Miss Chi You didn't seem to want to talk much.

　Miss Chiyou gave him a "follow me" look, then continued walking forward on her own.

　Fine……

　Cong Yu didn't mind, so he followed Chi You for a while and then saw a battle flag planted on a mound.

　The flagpole was almost broken, and the pattern on the flag was already blurred, but it was still fluttering in the wind and sand.

　"It's still here..."

　As she spoke, Miss Chiyou stepped forward, reached out and touched the flag, feeling the weight and coldness of the era.

　"..." Cong Yu: "..."

　After a moment's thought, Cong Yu was still a bit confused. He looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, and then at Chi You, who wasn't paying attention to them.

　He quietly approached the two protectors and asked in a very low voice, "Is Miss Chi You having an episode? Why has she suddenly become so sentimental?"

　In response, both Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai whistled and tilted their heads to look elsewhere, showing no intention of responding to Cong Yu.

　Upon seeing this, Cong Yu knew things were going badly.

　Sure enough, when Cong Yu turned her head again, she saw Miss Chi You staring straight at her... her eyes flashing with an eerie light.

　However, in the end she didn't say anything.

　He simply sighed, then looked into the distance at the rolling mountains and the desolate wasteland that appeared particularly bleak under the setting sun.

　"Mingming... promised to live a peaceful life together."

　Miss Chiyou gently stroked the flagpole, murmuring to herself.

　"..." Cong Yu felt that she understood without needing to ask further, and could even say that she understood.

　He no longer wanted to know anything about Miss Chi You's past.

　It's roughly about the complicated and twisted emotional entanglements between some young female tribal leaders, involving a love-hate relationship that's both painful and heartbreaking.

　I've already sampled quite a few of these.

　Take it away quickly, take it away! (Without mercy)

　"So, where is this place?"

　Cong Yu felt it necessary to speak up and interrupt Miss Chi You's reminiscence. However, he already had a guess at the answer to this question.

　This is probably the battlefield of the Battle of Zhuolu.

　However, Miss Chi You's answer was...

　"X Jiangsu Province Xu X".

　Miss Chi You spoke in this way.

　Cong Yu: "???"

　However, she merely gasped for breath and continued, "To be precise, it's Zhuolu Hill... you could also call it 'Ancient Zhuolu Land.'"

　With that, Miss Chi You composed herself slightly and looked at the more normal scenery in the distance: "Let's go, I don't want to stay in this place of my defeat and heartbreak any longer... I'll take you to pick wild fruits from this era."

　You were the one who was minding your own business, touching and looking around, and then getting lost in your own painful memories of youth.

　Cong Yu thought to herself, a look of disdain on her face, but at the same time she was genuinely curious about the "wild fruits of this era" that Miss Chi You had mentioned.

　He didn't want to eat, but he was really curious about the lives of primitive people and wanted to know what Miss Chiyou ate.

　Then he saw it...

　Its shape looks very strange, so it can be completely classified as a "second-rate fruit", and its size can only be described as a disappointing fruit.

　"Give."

　As Miss Chiyou said this, she tossed a deformed green fruit to Cong Yu and then skillfully jumped down from the tree.

　Then, she took a bite out of the fruit in her hand with a "crunch" and chewed it crisply.

　Xiao Hei: "Personally picking fruit for Cong Yu—"

　Xiaobai: "Oh, right..."

　"..." Cong Yu ignored the whispers of the Black and White Protectors, wiped the fruit on her clothes, and then took a bite... chew, chew, chew—

　"Ugh, so sour! And the pit is huge."

　Cong Yu couldn't help but complain, while Miss Chi You revealed a knowing smile: "Hmph—"

　With a light laugh, she chewed the fruit in her mouth without a care in the world, and casually said, "Yes, because it's an ancient variety..."

　"If you like sweet things, next time I bring you in, I can find you some berries, those are sweet."

　"But we're already outside, and 'Li Township' has reached your city, so we'll have to wait until next time—"

　As he said this, Chi You rudely threw the fruit pit on the ground, then took a deep breath, looking slightly nervous, and grabbed Cong Yu's clothes: "Let's go, let's see what modern times are like."

　Hopefully, there's still a place for me to belong.

　Chapter 827 Berries and Fruits

　If a person has been sealed away since ancient times, but has been able to use a mobile phone to learn about everything in the outside world for thousands of years...

　So, after she escapes, will she seem quite familiar with this world?

　Perhaps?

　After all, having seen many things in this world through videos, they might seem quite adept at handling them, right?

　"..."

　"what is this?"

　Miss Chiyou couldn't help but speak, swallowing hard as she tightly gripped Cong Yu's sleeve.

　Before me lay a dazzling array of lights, neon signs, and bustling traffic...

　She even seemed somewhat helpless and confused.

　"Those are neon lights."

　Cong Yu said this, and Chi You, of course, knew that those were neon lights and billboards... and also knew about cars, power lines, and streetlights.

　But not the same.

　What looks like in the video is quite different from what you see in person...

　Hard, industrial, and mechanical, the city, surrounded by clusters of giant skyscrapers, is an excessively fast-moving modern machine.

　The dense crowds and various neon signs made everything feel oppressive; the billboards, hanging pipes, cables, and wires all seemed to be completely blocked.

　"..." Cong Yu glanced at Miss Chi You, then pondered for a moment: "It seems that Central City is becoming somewhat urbanized..."

　Cong Yu may have overestimated Miss Chi You's resilience. Therefore, the [Lv. (level)] she initially set for her was a bit too high.

　"So, shall we go and take a look at some rural areas first?"

　Cong Yu made this suggestion, but Miss Chi You immediately rejected it: "No, it's just visually bizarre."

　In other words, should Cong Yu continue to take her to different places?

　Although it was originally planned as a "world tour"... it would be a good development if it could proceed smoothly.

　"Okay, I'll take you to get something to eat. Maybe that will help you adjust?"

　Cong Yu said this, referring to Miss Chi You, who seemed quite detached from the world at the moment: "However, in my personal experience, making some friends is the best thing... but given your personality, I think it's better to forget about it."

　What are you saying?! What kind of talk is this?!

　It's as if her personality makes it impossible for her to make friends!

　Chi You could only say...

　Cong Yu is quite good at judging people, hehe.

　While the two were chatting,

　A modified minivan, serving as a small shop, slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

　"Hey! I heard you two want to buy something to eat?"

　As he spoke, the silhouette of the man driving a car, wearing a mask as if trying to conceal his identity, asked, "Want to buy some oden?"

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Joy? When did it come?

　Cong Yu twitched her lips, while Miss Chi You recalled the video she had watched.

　"Oden... you mean?"

　Miss Chi You showed some interest. She glanced at Cong Yu, then looked at the unfamiliar monster boss: "Okay."

　Upon hearing Chi You's "Yes," Le's voice suddenly sounded surprised: "Wow! You're very lucky, sir!"

　"You are exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine guests and one billionth guest!"

　"All your purchases at our store today are on the house!"

　Upon hearing this, Chi You immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Cong Yu with a confident expression: "Looks like we're in pretty good luck—"

　"……"Ha ha……

　Cong Yu was already at a loss for words... especially regarding the outrageous number of guests reported by "Le".

　Absolutely! Absolutely, absolutely! There have never been that many customers visiting his van shop!
