Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Cong Yu, who is quite reliable, said this.

　Cong Yu, the most reliable member of the family, led Xiao Cui and Yao Chuan Guang downstairs, while announcing the good news: "Miss Chi You? Lan Tianzhu? Xiao Cui has successfully opened the door to the interior of the Extinction Spell."

　At this moment, as Xiao Cui walked downstairs with light, quick steps, she said, "I call it the Mortal World, the Land of Fairies."

　“That’s the ‘Village of the Mortal World,’ the ‘Land of Fairies that Devours the Mortal World,’ that’s what I call it…”

　"The little elf just calls that side 'the other side of the lake.'"

　As Xiao Cui said this, Yao Chuan Guang seemed even more interested: "Wow, that sounds amazing... that long string of names at the end."

　Indeed, it almost sounded like chanting.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu smiled and walked into the living room, where she saw Miss Chi You, who did not respond to them at all.

　There was also Xiao Lan, who had her back to them and was sticking her hand out onto the sofa. She was waving her hand out from the top of the sofa to indicate that she understood.

　At this very moment, the television screen in the living room focused on Miss Chi You slaying (kicking) the "expert" downstairs with a sliver of blood.

　Miss Chi You then rolled all the way into the fire-lighting sacrificial site, carefully performing various operations to prevent any more dogs from rushing out.

　Finally, she managed to strike up a conversation with the Fire Keeper (an important NPC), and then she relaxed completely...

　Please touch the darkness within me—

　……

　"Won."

　Miss Chiyou let out a long breath and turned to look at Cong Yu: "The game... is really interesting."

　Chapter 843 The Fairy Village of Brass and Blood

　What to say?

　After Xiao Cui finished her task of "opening the door," going to find Chi You and Xiao Lan was the right choice.

　After all, it was Miss Chi You who planned the training program for Xiao Cui: "First learn to go into the extinction spell."

　However, at this moment, only the three little ones and Cong Yu have decided to form a team to go to the Fairy Village.

　Lan Tianzhu finally ended her lazy period of lounging on the sofa. But Chi You, the "master of Chi You's prison," was nowhere to be seen.

　Very good, so it must be something...

　Is it because Xiao Cui is the host of the Extinction Technique, so the process of exploring and mastering her own abilities needs to be carried out by Xiao Cui herself?

　No, it shouldn't be.

　In that case, Yaochuan Guang and his group wouldn't have followed them.

　Miss Chi You's reason for not going along was simple—she wanted to play games and didn't want to leave for the time being.

　Oh no, Miss Chi You is addicted to the internet!

　Although the game she's playing doesn't require an internet connection.

　"..."

　"Let's go, let's embark on an adventure!"

　Yao Chuanguang looked excited, her hand raised high, clearly showing her interest in Xiao Cui's fairy village.

　That's probably natural.

　After all, the interior of Fairy Village looks like a forest, a wetland national park, or a magical forest from a fairy tale.

　If it were a place like Miss Chiyou's Li Township, a landscape of yellow sand and Gobi desert, she probably wouldn't be so excited.

　Hmm, I wonder if there are blonde doll makers and black and white magicians who cook mushrooms in the magical forest of Fairy Village?

　"Chirp chirp chirp—"

　The little elves around Xiao Cui cheered and jumped for joy, as if they were about to go home... Ah, they really are going home!

　Xiao Cui: "Charge!"

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "Oh..."

　Then, the group charged forward at Xiao Cui's command, accompanied by Lan Tianzhu's weak and flat "Oh" battle cry.

　Having crossed the barrier of the fairy land, I stepped onto the grass beneath my feet.

　The ground beneath my feet was soft yet firm... It was a little contradictory, but it gave me the urge to lie down.

　Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, falling on Cong Yu, reminding him of his earlier conversation and candor with Yao Chuan Guang at the Fengdu Cemetery.

　The fairy village is caressing everyone.

　It's the wind...

　Even Cong Yu, who prefers the winds of the Wind City, has to admit that the winds in the Fairy Village are just too comfortable.

　The trees in the forest not far from the group were towering into the clouds, their branches reaching out and covering the heads of the group, yet not making the environment seem dark.

　Occasionally, a few golden leaves drift down, making one imagine them as golden butterflies dancing in the air.

　There was a stream right next to them...

　Looking out, you can see a huge lake connected to the stream in the distance, and a giant tree in the center of the lake.

　There are many other combinations like this.

　It has countless lakes and countless fairy trees.

　Wow, it's so beautiful!

　Yao Chuanguang blinked, somewhat amazed, and leaned forward to look at the stream beside her, gazing at her reflection on the crystal-clear lake surface.

　Beside her reflection was the blue sky and white clouds...

　The sky was very blue, as blue as the strands of blue sky that peeked out from the side, and the white clouds looked somewhat like cotton candy.

　Seeing this makes Yaochuan crave roasted marshmallows.

　Cong Yu, meanwhile, was admiring the wildflowers scattered on the ground—red, yellow, blue, purple… a riot of colors.

　Rich in color and highly recognizable...

　It's outrageously high.

　It's even reached a somewhat abnormal level... It's not ugly, nor is it strange, but it's precisely because it's too beautiful that it's somewhat abnormal.

　"twitter--"

　"Chirp-whoosh!"

　"..." The little elves who had followed Xiao Cui home earlier seemed very excited, with the two flying at the front waving their arms and legs and talking excitedly.

　The others flew around randomly, landing on flowers, leaves, or chasing and playing in the air.

　"Eh? Is that so?"

　Xiao Cui made such a sound, stretched out her hand and let the little elves land on the back of her hand, then listened to them chattering.

　After communicating with the fairies, Xiao Cui looked at everyone and said, "The fairies said they have an event organized at their lake today and asked if we want to go and see. It sounds very interesting."

　Lan Tianzhu pondered for a moment, and her calm expression clearly conveyed the question, "What kind of activities could the little elves possibly have?"

　Aside from Hikaru Yokawa, who was beaming with excitement and anticipation, Nagisa Azuma and Murasame were both skeptical of the "event" the little fairy had mentioned.

　However, everyone still followed the little elf's lead.

　The little elves chattered amongst themselves, their wings flapping rapidly as they moved forward, occasionally turning their heads to look around, leading the way.

　Then, what appeared before the group was a small bridge made of vines and planks... spanning the gradually widening stream.

　The other end of the bridge is what appears to be a man-made open space.

　No, it's less about "human intervention" and more about "the actions of the fairies." The only strange thing is...

　"By the way, do elves need a bridge?"

　Yao Chuanguang was the first to ask this question, and as the first person to discover the problem, he received admiring (surprised) looks from his companions.

　Has Xiaoguang finally figured it out again?

　"Well……"

　Looking at her with an adoring (and slightly strange) gaze, she became slightly embarrassed: "I can be shrewd sometimes—"

　It seems that Yaochuan Guang himself is aware of his own dullness.

　Scratching his head, Hikaru looked around and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there are so many Pokémon gathered here—"

　Indeed, just as Yaochuan Guang said.

　Around this open space, many little elves sat on the nearby trees, seemingly waiting for something.

　Clearly, they weren't waiting for Xiao Cui and her group.

　They seemed surprised and excited to see Xiao Cui and the humans from the "new world" they had heard of.

　【twitter--】

　[Chirp chirp—]

　[Chirp chirp—]

　"..."

　"It's greeting us."

　Xiao Cui was quite competent as a translator, nodding as she listened to the narration of a little elf perched on her shoulder.

　“Oh, the little elf said... today is the day the little elves of the Crimson Lake and the Brass Lake will have their duel.”

　As she spoke, Xiao Cui pointed to the bridge on the other side, answering the questions that had been posed by everyone: "They said that those bridges are for the movement of the war beasts raised in the various lakes... because the war beast mounts can't fly."

　As Xiao Cui explained, Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, while the surrounding sprites chattered noisily...

　The little sprites representing the two distant lakes also began to emerge from both sides of the forest... A great battle was about to break out.

　And everyone saw what the "mount" the little elf was talking about was.

　How should I put it? It's a rodent with a very cute art style, kind of like a chibi version of a mouse... quite adorable.

　It's as if everyone has been given a cognitive filter, which is quite endearing.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　I feel like something's getting increasingly off about Fairy Village.

　Chapter 844 Elf Champion

　"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"

　"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

　"..." The little elves cheered rhythmically, and the elves from all the lakes, as well as the supporters from all sides, were very happy.

　Perhaps it was because Xiao Cui came to watch their competition that both sides seemed exceptionally tense yet excited.

　This is an open space in the Fairy Village, which seems to have been used specifically as a battleground for the little fairies, or "arena".

　Cong Yu, Yao Chuan Guang, Lan Tian Zhu, and Xiao Cui were naturally honored guests of the Fairy Village, and sat on the highest and thickest branch.

　It also offers the best view.

　"This sounds really interesting..."

　As Xiao Cui spoke, she watched the elves riding their war beasts, arranged in two rows.

　"Yes, yes—"

　Yaochuan Guang looked very happy, and seemed to be looking forward to both sides making progress.

　It looks like they are engaged in a "fighting" exercise.

　However, the two found it interesting for different reasons.

　Xiao Cui could roughly guess what the "battle skills" of these little elves would be, and she still found it very interesting, while Yao Chuan Guang did not.

　Yao Chuanguang probably viewed "fighting" as something like a sports meet or school festival, or perhaps a friendly sparring match.

　But that is clearly not the case.

　"..." Cong Yu: "..."
