Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　However, perhaps because his plan had completely failed, Moira did not shift the blame to Azuma Nagisa.

　"She did a great job, at least meeting my expectations. Any extra hope I had was just my stubbornness."

　As he said this, Moirai shook his head and sighed, "Humans and I have both made our utmost efforts..."

　"But in each death, all of humanity's time is reduced to nothingness in Lan Tianzhu's repeated deaths."

　"Before the last human died from losing time, all that Lan Tianzhu and I could hear was endless cursing."

　"They curse us, they despise us."

　"The world is desperately asking us, why not simply submit to fate? Why not..."

　"Give them a quick and painless death."

　Having said this, Moirai of this era finally fell silent, standing alone on this desolate planet.

　They took their final bow on stage.

　Chapter 908 Civilization Development Depends on Digging Up Graves

　There has been a science fiction-influenced idea for a long time... the design of spacecraft that establishes an ecosystem in space and achieves self-sufficiency.

　This is known as the Ecological Recycling Pod or Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLSS), and it represents humanity's conclusion regarding the possibilities of space exploration.

　To create a highly integrated and self-sufficient micro-ecosystem, applying the core principles of Earth's ecosystems to the space environment.

　It's like a giant RV.

　But this time...

　The size of the RV will be the entire "Li Township", and it will not be a "vehicle", but a "spaceship" in space.

　And now, Lixiang is resting somewhere in some galaxy in some nebula that Congyu can't even describe.

　Sorry, although Cong Yu is from the future, but...

　He didn't know much about the universe, not even what the unit of speed should be used in space.

　Kilometers per hour?

　Where is our destination?

　Cong Yu couldn't help but ask Miss Chi You, who was eating breakfast, while stuffing the last bite of the meat bun into her mouth and swallowing it.

　If we compare "Lixiang" to a "spaceship," then Miss Chiyou would be the pilot.

　Well, it's worth mentioning that...

　The group is currently in "Fengdu," a replica of the original Fengdu with minimal changes.

　The architectural concepts of Lixiangli are also similar.

　Of course, the details cannot be replicated; each person can only restore it by decorating it themselves.

　However, the residences of Cong Yu and the others are based on the standardized model of the Fuuto Magical Girl Agency, so there are architectural design drawings available.

　It's quite simple to restore.

　If it weren't for the occasional freak suddenly awakening and causing widespread destruction, leading to mass unemployment, it would feel almost as if we had never left Earth.

　As for Cong Yu, Chi You, who was eating the breakfast made by Yao Chuan Guang, obviously did not realize that Cong Yu wanted to know these things.

　Chi You, assuming it was just casual conversation, said nonchalantly, "Let's go to the dock and get some fries?"

　Clearly, this was a joke she saw in one of her videos.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Then, Miss Chiyou raised her head, noticed Cong Yu's helpless expression, and after understanding, she pondered for a moment.

　"Huh? Right now, I'm just aimlessly moving away from Earth... probably heading upwards?"

　Do we talk about the concept of "above" in the universe?

　Cong Yu opened her mouth, then reorganized her thoughts and asked, "Have we left the solar system yet?"

　The solar system?

　Miss Chi You's eyes were slightly confused. She opened her mouth and asked without thinking, "I can still see the sun... but where does the solar system end?"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Cong Yu couldn't explain it either.

　He wasn't even sure if Pluto had been removed from the solar system by this time...

　Xiao Cui, who was also eating breakfast nearby, immediately gave the answer: "With the sun as the center, the radius is 100 astronomical units..."

　"It's roughly the distance from Earth to Neptune's orbit, and we use that as a boundary to define the extent of the solar system."

　"..." Before she knew it, Xiao Cui had become quite knowledgeable.

　Cong Yu thought about it, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Miss Chi You: "So, how far are we from Neptune now?"

　Chi You: "..."

　After closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, Miss Chi You coughed twice: "What does Neptune look like? The white one?"

　Hmm...it looks blue?

　Amid Cong Yu's slightly bewildered expression, Xiao Cui spoke up, "The blue picture online is fake."

　"Actually, it's basically white, just like Uranus. But it's slightly bluer than Uranus."

　It's worth mentioning that Xiao Cui, who says "squeeze it," is very cute.

　After sensing again, Chi You laughed: "Haha, there's a white one, but I didn't see a second one. I'm not sure if it's some kind of blue planet... There's also a planet with a halo, but it's quite far away."

　Saturn...

　Saturn?

　Xiao Cui and Cong Yu exchanged a knowing glance, and then Xiao Cui revealed the truth: "Neptune or Uranus is on the other side of the sun... or it's blocked by other planets?"

　Xiao Cui wasn't quite sure either; her eyes were filled with confusion, unsure of where everyone was at that moment.

　Cong Yu and Chi You, whose professional skills were even less than Xiao Cui's, were completely baffled... Miss Chi You had even stopped visiting Lixiang.

　However, from this perspective, Lixiang's speed is still very fast.

　It sounds like we're almost out of the solar system?

　The solar system is two light-years in size... was it again?

　"..." As the three looked at each other in bewilderment, Cong Yu took out her phone: "Sigh, I'll ask a professional."

　Lan Tianzhu, who had been lounging on the sofa, looked somewhat surprised at Cong Yu's reaction... Cong Yu really knew all sorts of people.

　Miss Chi You also seemed surprised. She looked at Cong Yu and, although she didn't say anything, she shared the same meaning as Lan Tianzhu.

　Xiao Cui is about the same...

　Hong remained as lazy as ever, completely unconcerned about what remarkable experts Cong Yu knew... Isn't it normal for Cong Yu to know all sorts of people?

　"..." Cong Yu, who was typing, noticed their gazes. He paused for a moment and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, I understand... but you should all know the people I'm looking for, right?"

　Cong Yu's words only amplified the astonishment in everyone's eyes.

　Who? Who is the expert on the universe?

　Immediately, everyone began exchanging glances and frantically brainstorming to guess who the cosmology expert might be, hidden among the people they knew.

　I don't think anyone actually has a rocket-shaped head...

　But he really is a doctor.

　Although the doctor repeatedly emphasized that she was a doctor, and that being a pharmacist, researcher, or mad scientist were merely secondary roles besides her primary job as a doctor, people still regarded her as a "scientist."

　Even in theory, scientists are divided into specialties...

　"It's Etzel. She traveled in her physical body all the way from her original star system, chasing after the monsters all the way to Earth."

　Cong Yu's words became the answer to everyone's wrong guesses.

　Miss Chi You suddenly realized that there was indeed such a setting, while the others were... shocked on the spot!

　What?! There's actually such a setting?! Even science fiction wouldn't dare to use this kind of setting so easily?!

　……

　"Hello, Cong Yu! How's your recovery going?"

　Etzel, who had called first, said this, and before Cong Yu could reply, she coughed twice: "Ah, the weather is very nice today - how are you... how are you?"

　Etzel's way of speaking seems a bit strange.

　Cong Yu twitched her lips, glanced at the consistently pleasant sky over Lixiang, and said, "Um...yes, are you alright?"

　Why does Etzel suddenly seem a little embarrassed...?

　Cong Yu was thinking this when she heard Etzel continue, "Although I also don't know where humanity should go from here..."

　"But, cough cough, well..."

　"Could you take me home? There are some relics from our civilization that I couldn't take with me when I came to Earth."

　Etzel asked this question.

　Chapter 909 Third Kind of Contact

　Two and a half weeks have passed since the group set off towards Orion, and they are expected to arrive today.

　Although the driver, Ms. Chi You, really didn't know the way very well, fortunately, Etzel was an experienced navigator.

　It can guide everyone in the right direction.

　Beta Orionis, commonly known as Rigel, is 1,344 light-years away from the solar system... That's a very long distance.

　The current "travel" speed in Li Township is about eight light-years every 24 hours... The 24-hour system still applies in Li Township.

　However, once Miss Chiyou revoked Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's "Li Township Permissions," the overall speed of Li Township increased by dozens of times.

　After that, all that's needed is Chi You.

　If the young lady wishes, she can continue to accelerate at the cost of magic power consumption and physical fatigue.

　Instead, by going all out and giving it your all, you can increase that speed even further, accelerating it without limit...

　In the end, it might even reach speeds beyond imagination, but of course... it's just a matter of chance.

　For the sake of Miss Chi You's physical and mental health, it's better to maintain the normal pace, with occasional acceleration.

　The current speed of light is already an incredible force, far exceeding even the speed of the Jormungandr train.

　(Jormungandr Train: ???)

　However, Jormungandr's train can bite people, but Miss Chiyou's Li Township cannot, which may be considered an advantage.

　(Jormungandr Train: An approving look.)

　For the time being, the destination of Lixiang has been determined.

　Orion III, a civilization that was destroyed by monsters and difficult to observe, was protected by Etzel when she was Orion β.

　The rampage caused by the monsters nearly destroyed civilization on this planet, and all living beings have perished.

　However, it wasn't that there were no survivors at all.

　Etzel is the only survivor of civilization...

　"Speaking of which, why did Miss Etzel come to Earth?"

　Yaochuan Guang asked curiously, holding a cup of tea in her hand, looking at Etzel who had come to visit, clearly wanting to know.

　"For revenge and the hunt."

　Etzel, sitting quietly and dignifiedly, politely replied to Yaochuan Guang's words: "Extinction spells are like this; they are not only a disaster for one civilization, but a disaster for all civilizations."

　At this moment, Etzel's demeanor completely surprised Chi You and Cong Yu, as they rarely saw Etzel so calm.

　Or rather, ever since the two met Etzel, she has always given off an image of being constantly fighting and having a head full of...

　The kind of persona that Power! has.

　……

　Holding onto this stereotype, Cong Yu played with the two wolves that Etzel had brought... Yes, Etzel had brought them.
