Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　However, since they lack magic power, the extinction spell isn't a powerful cheat code for them...

　While it might not reach the point where using it once would burn off a quarter of one's life, it's probably not far off.

　Whether it's higher or lower than a quarter depends on whether they can turn off the extermination spell in time.

　If it can't be turned off, then it's not just a matter of a fraction.

　The entire Disaster Committee will likely perish along with it.

　In this situation, both the Disaster Committee, which risked their lives to gather here, and the Chairman, who had invested countless resources but received no return, were actually relying on their determination and hope to hold on.

　Relying on things like "maybe there's hope," "maybe there's a solution," "maybe there's success," "maybe there'll be a clue"...

　Relying on countless "maybes," he forced himself to engage in all sorts of activities, eventually successfully kidnapping Cong Yu.

　Cong Yu's help and kindness are a way of repaying her.

　It was something they obtained in exchange for their almost incomprehensible, insane hope...

　"The fact that the Disaster Committee has managed to hold on until now shows they're exhausted."

　As Cong Yu said this, the guild leader, who was a little embarrassed by what Cong Yu said, turned his head away: "Actually, I'm not that great... After all, I am also a Calamity Species, so I have to find a way to save myself."

　Although that's what she said, the president was indeed flattered by Cong Yu's words and waited happily for the other girls' voices of admiration.

　Unfortunately, she waited for a long time but nothing came...

　When she came to her senses, all she could hear was the blonde girl excitedly talking to Cong Yu about "virtual games".

　President: "..."

　The president, somewhat bewildered, shook her head with a smile, but inwardly felt even more pity for the Earthlings.

　According to Cong Yu and the doctor...

　There is a massive accumulation of calamities on Earth's side, and something even stronger than these calamities is trying to wipe them out.

　Cong Yu, who was able to lead civilization to escape the planet and into the universe amidst countless battles and bloodshed... is truly great.

　The president, whom Cong Yu called "great," actually thought Cong Yu and his group were great... Could this be a case of great people appreciating each other?

　At that moment, the president's wristwatch began to flash, indicating that her family had sent her a message.

　At the same time, Cong Yu raised the terminal on her wrist and said, "Oh, about the thing I asked someone to investigate before..."

　Before Cong Yu could finish speaking, the guild leader waved the terminal screen floating above his wrist: "Cong Yu, the information you asked us to investigate about 'Kronos Thorns' has already been obtained by my family."

　"..." Upon hearing this, Cong Yu was stunned on the spot: "Huh? You've already made the arrangements? Actually, I... cough cough, it's nothing, you've been a great help."

　Chapter 986 Three Encounters with the Alien Class Teacher

　Neutral galaxies are an interesting concept.

　This place has the influence of the Star Alliance, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance... In other words, the Star Alliance is not the boss here.

　The Star Alliance did not forcefully include these areas in its jurisdiction, partly because the Star Alliance itself is not a rigid dictatorship.

　On the other hand, this place is quite far from the Star Alliance's sphere of influence, so even the longest possible jump wouldn't be enough to reach the vicinity.

　These places have become gathering places for interstellar pirates, interstellar tomb raiding groups, black market traders, and other peculiar organizations.

　Among these, the Calamity Committee is actually one of the organizations that can be summarized as a "peculiar organization".

　"Attention all personnel, starship is about to dock!"

　The chairman's voice boomed over the loudspeaker: "Navigation team, confirm the arrival time and check carefully!"

　"Power unit..."

　"..." Amidst the tremors of the ship, the massive Calamity Committee mothership successfully docked with the equally massive starport.

　In fact, simple docking does not require rendezvous. However, the Disaster Committee needs to replenish energy and other resources this time.

　At this very moment, various pipes extending from the starport and connecting to the mothership are engaged in the purchase and transfer of different resources.

　The types and quantities of these resources were naturally agreed upon a few days ago, and payment had already been made in advance.

　It was used from the president's personal account.

　"To be honest... I'd really like to know why you don't keep the Calamity Committee's account separate from your own account."

　Cong Yu asked this question, looking at the data terminal in the chairman's hand that was different from his own Rick-5: "In that case, it would be easier to count the changes in funds in all aspects."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, the chairman, while monitoring the energy transmission, said, "There's no need for that."

　If public and private matters are clearly separated, it is indeed easier to calculate the profits and losses of "companies" and "individuals"... This is pretty much the same throughout the universe.

　but……

　"The Calamity Committee has never received any funds, and I am not an investor in the Calamity Committee... but the chairman!"

　The chairman said these very enlightened words, then sensed footsteps and turned to look at the people peeking out from behind the driver's cab.

　It's a group of magical girls and Aria.

　"Cong Yu-chan, it's time to disembark—"

　Cong Yu nodded in response to Yao Chuan Guang's call and briefly bid farewell to the chairman and everyone in the pilot's hall.

　During this stop, in addition to energy transmission, the Disaster Committee also had various other matters to handle.

　Therefore, the mothership will dock at this starport planet for seven days.

　During these seven days, members of the Disaster Committee can disembark to have fun, and return to the ship when the time is right.

　So, what do you want to buy?

　Cong Yu asked this question, but he was clearly distracted. His mind was still preoccupied with the matter of the "reincarnation clan."

　Upon receiving the information about the impending calamity, Cong Yu saw the pronunciation and this was the only name that came to mind.

　The race that delivered the document to the Star Alliance's "Chronos Thorns" used the language they spoke. Undoubtedly, it was the Chinese pinyin for "reincarnation."

　This information led Cong Yu to make countless guesses.

　Both guesses seem plausible, but they also lack crucial evidence.

　So during this time, Cong Yu was a bit absent-minded.

　For some reason, Cong Yu felt it was necessary to return to Earth to confront Moirai and get the missing information.

　The three little ones were clearly unaware of Cong Yu's thoughts.

　"Virtual game! Virtual game!"

　"Game-Game——"

　Cong Yu couldn't help but feel curious about Yao Chuan Guang and Xiao Cui's joyful cheers.

　"So, is it really that kind of... complete immersion where you feel like you've entered another world when you close your eyes?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, even though he had actually come into contact with similar things before.

　It happened before we traveled to this timeline, or rather, the world line, and Cong Yu already understood that.

　In fact, this world line is significantly different from her original world line... The future that Cong Yu knows may not be so materialistic.

　Although there is no magic or anything like that, there is a peculiar energy source called "emotional energy".

　Maybe, probably, possibly, unsure...

　That thing isn't something that exists in every timeline.

　Cong Yu sighed, looking at the port in front of him that bore some resemblance to the starport on Alka Star…

　These bustling aliens, along with genuine energy weapons, might represent a "normal and unbiased" technological path.

　Both the technology tree in the Murasame timeline and the technology tree on Earth in this timeline are likely quite distorted.

　Therefore, the "full-dive technology" of the aliens in this timeline should be different from the "roaming technology" of the city in the Murasame timeline.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu smelled the distinct engine oil odor of the starport while listening to Lan Tianzhu explain their intelligence sources.

　According to her, the specifics of this game were told to them by an alien woman sitting on a robot vacuum cleaner.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　The somewhat familiar description made Cong Yu fall silent instantly. He began to wonder if the other party was really an AI tool explaining the settings.

　However, Cong Yu will hold off for now.

　He put those thoughts aside and temporarily set aside the matter of "reincarnation".

　After resupplying, the guild leader will lead them to investigate the situation of the "Reincarnation Clan"...

　After all, you're just idling around anyway.

　The Calamity Committee has always been like this: when they get news related to extinction spells, they "rush off!"; when they don't get any news, they wander aimlessly.

　And the current situation concerning the "Reincarnation Clan" is undoubtedly closely related to calamity...

　As for Cong Yu, who had put aside his thoughts, Aria cleared her throat: "Rick-5 is officially on sale."

　"Before I buy your stuff, I need to go buy a Rick-5. Are you coming with me, or should I show you the way first?"

　As for Aria, the group didn't care. Not in a hurry to buy the game, they decided to wait for Aria to buy Rick-5 first.

　This is essentially an upgrade to her device.

　Then, when they arrived at the terminal distribution point on this neutral planet, everyone was stunned.

　"Quack?! An alien homeroom teacher?!"

　Yao Chuanguang shouted, her face showing the same shock as the alien homeroom teacher sitting by the window.

　Of course, the same shock was also reflected on Cong Yu's face, Ailiya's face, and Lan Tianzhu's and Xiao Cui's faces.

　Everyone felt frightened.

　"How did you end up here? What a coincidence! There are so many planets in the universe!"

　The alien homeroom teacher exclaimed in disbelief.

　Everyone: "..."

　We'd like to ask that question too!

　Chapter 987 My house is very big!

　Coincidences can be truly coincidental when they happen.

　But just like when Moirai sent out angels, they ended up finding the City of Wind...

　Just like in a class of 50 people, the probability of two people having the same birthday is about 97%.

　Sometimes, probability is something that's inexplicably more interesting than you might imagine...

　"I see. So you need to resupply at a neutral starport... In that case, it doesn't seem unreasonable for us to meet again."

　As the alien homeroom teacher said this, she nodded: "I also came to this neutral starport specifically."

　As she spoke, she skillfully opened the cabinet next to her that contained the [Rick-5] terminal.

　Then, the alien homeroom teacher, looking up at the three of them with curious expressions, continued, "Because my father has started trying to run for speaker of parliament."

　"As his only daughter, it's too dangerous for me to stay within Star Alliance territory... I might get kidnapped or something."

　“My father took this into consideration, so he sent me to the neutral zone and even arranged for bodyguards for me.”

　From this perspective, it's perfectly reasonable that the alien homeroom teacher and Cong Yu and others happened to meet in this neutral zone.

　Because this is the closest neutral galaxy to the Starlink region.

　Cong Yu and others were quite familiar with topics such as "the children of high-ranking officials need to seek refuge".

　However, judging from Earth's habits, it's not because they're afraid of being kidnapped, but because their children are used to being arrogant and domineering, and it's not easy for them to be restrained.

　Therefore, they need to go abroad to be arrogant and domineering in order to avoid being photographed in China and affecting their parents' careers... and so on.
