Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Well, because she herself grows a bit slowly and always looks young, she became a mascot along with Xiao Cui.

　Calling it a mascot might not be quite right...

　To be precise, it should be "what everyone agrees is cute, adorable, and adorable"...and

　Nagashima Koki may never grow up.

　Just like most people in the world today.

　Because of the magical girl/monster (Nagashima Koki is now a monster) transformation surgery...

　Now, and for the foreseeable future, Nagashima Koki will always look like a cute elementary school student.

　She herself seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

　But the core of her observations, that keen insight she had possessed since childhood, never disappeared.

　Even this talent finally blossomed and bore abundant fruit during a trip to the Central City.

　From that moment on, Nagashima Koki may have become extraordinary within the ordinary, becoming a completely new version of herself.

　Then...

　Interestingly, Nagashima Koki, who clearly had no power whatsoever, was the first person to realize what "Nen" was.

　Always remember, there will be reverberations.

　Nagashima Koki wanted to do something to help Murakumo, even though she didn't think the angels' destruction was that bad.

　But even if it's just to prevent misfortune from befalling those you know and are close to...

　Nagashima Koki felt she had to do something.

　Even the selfish Nagashima Koki judged that she seemed to occupy a crucial position in this great transformation.

　She used her talent to open her eyes...

　"I've done a fantastic job on this!"

　With such pride, Nagashima Koki put her hands on her hips and announced this to the doctor and Cong Yu, who were already some distance apart.

　"Hehehe...cough cough...cough cough cough—"

　After laughing strangely, Nagashima Koki choked on her own saliva. Congyu and the doctor exchanged a glance, then stared into Nagashima Koki's eyes.

　The "detective eye," as fragmented as ever, was as beautiful as ever, but it didn't seem to have anything special about it.

　But according to Nagashima Koki, those are the eyes that can see "beings without magic," a product of unlocking a new view.

　A being without magic...?

　Cong Yu thought to herself.

　“A being without magic…”

　Before Cong Yu could say anything, the doctor spoke first: "It seems that it doesn't just include humans."

　After the doctor asked that question, Nagashima Koki was clearly taken aback: "No, it should be animals without magic."

　So that's how it is. Although they call them "living beings," "plants" are still excluded by everyone as always.

　What to say?

　This kid, Nagashima Koki, seems like she could become a vegetarian... or rather, an extreme vegetarian.

　After all, those guys keep saying they love other life, but in reality they never care about the lives of plants.

　Ah, isn't a plant's life also a life?

　Doesn't a stone have a life too?!

　Instead of trying to persuade others to stop harming animals, it would be better to persuade others not to harm their fellow human beings.

　However, like other children, Nagashima Nozomi loves fried chicken fast food and wishes she could eat it every day.

　The doctor was clearly not satisfied with Xiaoxi's answer. Maintaining her professional rigor, she pressed on with further questions: "What about other small animals? Aren't insects animals too? If that's the case, can you still distinguish between humans and other animals?"

　Of course, the doctor's persistent questioning at this moment might be a form of retaliation against Nagashima Koki for interrupting her good time.

　When the doctor and Cong Yu were chatting and joking around earlier, it was obvious that the doctor was planning to stick close to her...

　As a result, they were disturbed by Nagashima Koki's commotion.

　Cong Yu had reason to believe that the doctor would have loved to yell at Xiao Xi on the spot, "Shut up, don't ruin my good time!"

　In response, Nagashima Koki immediately retorted with righteous indignation, "Doctor, you're so stupid! Can't you tell the difference between a dog, a cat, a gorilla, and a human? Even an elementary school student can do that!"

　"……"doctor:"……"

　I got roasted.

　The doctor was rebuked by Nagashima Koki, and she couldn't refute it because she suddenly remembered... a forensic eye is, after all, an eye.

　What Nagashima Koki can do is highlight the target she needs within her field of vision or beyond.

　It is not a coordinate given after detection by some kind of instrument.

　Therefore, it is easy to distinguish whether an object is human or another creature by sight.

　Looking at the doctor who had been humiliated, Cong Yu couldn't help but laugh, while marveling at Nagashima Koki's innocent yet aggressive way of speaking.

　"And I can hide the animals at the same time..."

　As she said this, Nagashima Koki waved her hand, looking as if she were extremely useful... and indeed she was.

　Indeed quite useful, Nagashima Koki looked around and then pointed diagonally downwards in a certain direction.

　"Over there... there are lots of tiny people packed together!"

　Xiaoxi's words made the doctor raise his eyebrows, and Congyu also looked on with emotion and relief.

　To Moirai and her henchmen, Nagashima Koki should undoubtedly fall into the category of "mortal" and "humble".

　And sometimes, even ordinary people have their place to use their talents.

　This is the victory of mortals!

　Chapter 855 Noah

　Speaking of which, does anyone know about the "Mariana"?

　what……

　Not a horse

　Narnia... it's Mariana.

　It's the Mariana Trench.

　Located on the Pacific Ocean floor near the Mariana Islands, the water is over 8000 meters deep, with the Challenger Deep being the lowest point on Earth.

　Very little has been explored here.

　Of course, in Cong Yu's time, this place was known as "Atlantis" because of its interesting features.

　But that's not something worth talking about right now.

　In this present world, in this timeline, "here" something is undoubtedly sealed away.

　Or perhaps it's something that's been sealed away by itself.

　If Miss Chi You knew this, she would probably find it hard to believe... How could anyone in the world seal themselves away?

　But maybe…

　People always have to pay the price for their actions.

　Perhaps it's not an action but a thought; perhaps it's not extremism but prejudice; but whatever the case...

　Staying in this deep trench, letting the water pressure and darkness help me feel clear-headed, is the best ending for this world.

　Noah (Nun) firmly believed this.

　From the moment he begins his self-exile, he will likely remain silent/submerged, forever isolated...

　At least that's what Noah thought.

　However, she felt a little surprised today.

　In this place where only creatures like the Mariana lionfish and the telescope octopus should be able to live freely...

　It seems an uninvited guest has arrived.

　"..." A barrier imbued with a sacred aura gradually appeared on the dark seabed, finally attracting the attention of this "one who is buried deep within himself."

　A winged humanoid creature gradually appeared amidst the glow of the barrier, illuminating the surroundings that should not have been illuminated.

　The deep sea is extremely difficult to illuminate.

　The reasons are simple: "no reflection," "water absorption and scattering," and so on.

　This is something that should be taken for granted and shouldn't be explained in detail at this moment.

　However, the light emanating from the two winged creatures at this moment truly illuminated the surroundings.

　The light illuminated Noah's petite face and body so brightly that he couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.

　Then, as the angel's shadow became increasingly prominent...

　"Ah... is it an angel?"

　Noah muttered to himself, looking both trembling and delighted, but then a deep sense of doubt appeared on his face.

　That profound suspicion and resistance was like the appearance of an angel, cutting new cracks into the wound that was once called "mistake".

　When the angel truly appeared here, the light born from the barrier dimmed once more...

　The immense water pressure and the perfect alignment of the surroundings instantly made the angel frown. After observing his surroundings, he erected a protective barrier of divine power.

　Meanwhile, its attempt to illuminate its surroundings failed.

　As the reason has been mentioned before, it seems that even an angel cannot escape the common limitations of the power he uses, just like Moirai's barrier.

　"deep sea?"

　The angel muttered to himself, a hint of doubt on his face, unsure why he had come here.

　Logically speaking, shouldn't he have come to a place where "intelligent life exists" or near a "city"?

　How could there be such a thing in the deep sea?

　Then, a neutral voice suddenly came from behind him, a voice that seemed to have a certain aria-like tone.

　That's Hebrew...

　“’, ?”

　(Angel, are you doing this to forgive me, or to punish me as I am destined to be?)

　"..." After a brief pause, the angel, though unsure of the source of the voice, immediately unleashed the power of faith.

　The sudden burst of power swept through a corner of this deep trench, causing everything around it to swirl like a tide.

　"It wasn't a hallucination after all."

　Noah remained floating in place, muttering to himself in English, showing no intention of taking any action.

　At the instant Noah uttered this sound, countless seawater began to swirl in accordance with his will, like a cleansing and purging disaster.

　"But it is still fake."

　As soon as the boy/girl named Noah simply clenched his fist, everything around him immediately became agitated.

　As if obeying his command, the seawater quickly surrounded the angels.

　Even under these circumstances, and with the angel still completely unaware of the situation...

　"Despicable mortals?"

　The angel still had the chance to utter such a voice in a tone of doubt and uncertainty in an attempt to identify the attacker.

　But all that responded to him was silence and darkness, and an ever-growing, terrifying pressure that made the barrier of faith creak and groan.

　Then, in the instant when the barrier could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure...

　"Boom."

　With a low, deafening sound of destruction and shattering, the angel was compressed into tiny specks of light, gradually disappearing into the void.
