Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Upon hearing the alien homeroom teacher's words, Yao Chuan Guang immediately understood: "Oh! I get it! The people who planned this must be the old butler and the head maid! That's how it's always portrayed in movies!"

　Indeed, similar scenes often appear in movies.

　To put it nicely, it's called subverting conventions; to put it bluntly, it's deliberately deceiving the audience for the sake of suspense.

　The first person to use this technique will amaze everyone, but if they use it again, it will become increasingly vulgar and boring.

　The movie begins by eliminating certain individuals, then examines the remaining characters one by one, finally revealing the truth—

　Wow! Actually, the murderer is that person from the very beginning.

　It's like a locked-room mystery where the first person to die is actually faking their death.

　This clichéd plot led Nagisa Azuma and Cong Yu to look at Hikaru Yokawa with hesitant expressions.

　Xiao Cui and Ailiya didn't react because they didn't understand what was wrong with what Yao Chuan Guang said.

　Although the alien homeroom teacher didn't quite understand Yao Chuanguang's joke, she was still able to answer based on its surface meaning: "No."

　Yao Chuanguang blinked and pressed on, "Why not? What if the person who dug this secret passage gave him some benefit?"

　As Yaochuan Guang spoke, he watched Congyu lift the tapestry, revealing a secret passage that was uneven but large enough for someone to bend over and pass through.

　The alien homeroom teacher's answer was simple, and her expression was even quite surprised: "The benefits given by others? It's probably not even a fraction of their salary... No way."

　What?! Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?!

　Yaochuan Guang was shocked, but still suggested other possibilities; "Then... their parents might have been captured... or something like that?"

　The alien homeroom teacher shook his head again: "No, their parents and families are in our hands."

　Everyone: "..."

　Amidst the silence, Cong Yu spoke up helplessly: "Alright, let's put aside all unnecessary speculation... In fact, it's not like that at all."

　Originally, everyone thought that this secret passage was recently dug out to kidnap the alien homeroom teacher, but that's not actually the case.

　“My magical senses tell me that this secret passage has existed for at least a hundred years (Earth years), and it was not prepared for abduction.”

　Cong Yu spoke these words with certainty, while her magic continued to probe into him: "At least it's not for kidnapping you."

　"There are three forks in the road..."

　Cong Yu said this, then glanced at Xiao Cui, who understood and released more than a dozen little sprites.

　Under the astonished gaze of their alien homeroom teacher, the little elves moved into the passage...

　"Then...what is that?"

　The alien homeroom teacher looked quite surprised: "If I'm not mistaken, that's a living thing... Eh?!"

　Can a calamity really do this much?

　Arya wore a proud expression upon hearing this…

　It seems she has completely embraced the spirit of the Li people.

　Amidst everyone's silence, Xiao Cui, who had her eyes closed and was following the gazes of the little elves, spoke up: "The passages on the left and right are dead ends."

　"There's an iron gate at the end of the middle passage, with a lock that requires a mechanical key... Should I have the elves use magic to blast it open?"

　Although she was asking questions, Xiao Cui had already taken action, and everyone present could feel a slight tremor.

　But... is it just continuous tremors?

　What kind of technique takes so long to unleash?

　While Cong Yu hesitated, Xiao Cui stuck out her little tongue: "The passage collapsed... but the little elf is alright."

　"Behind the door is..."

　"..." Xiao Cui said this, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the symbol JPY (money) began to flash in her eyes.

　-

　"It looks like a starstone vein!"

　Chapter 994 What a long surname!

　"Boss, does this mine tunnel really connect to the mission target's house? It doesn't look like it's been mined at all..."

　A burly man with a scar on his face scoffed at what one of his underlings said: "Nonsense, the source of the information is absolutely reliable."

　Then, with a disdainful look in his eyes, the large man, struggling to move through the narrow passageway while bending over, said—

　"Let's be frank, this house was sold by the village head to the eldest daughter of this family... What do you think?"

　Upon hearing this, one of the shorter henchmen, the only one who could move freely in the narrow mine tunnels, was clearly taken aback: "Boss, you..."

　As he was saying this, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but swallow hard: "Wait, boss, putting aside the fact that you got on the Ball Captain's good side, it turns out the Ball Captain wants to kidnap that young lady? In other words..."

　"It is...it is..."

　After saying "yes" for a long time, the underling didn't say anything more. Only the big guy laughed and said, "Hmph, I guess he was acting on orders from other big shots above... otherwise he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the Speaker's daughter."

　Upon hearing this, the other two also smiled knowingly.

　"Haha, the boss really knows how to do things!"

　"Boss, you're really well-informed!"

　"We're sticking with you."

　Such flattery brought a smile to the leader's face: "Hmph, serve the big shot well, and I'll make you all gene warriors like me. Together we'll grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"

　"it is good!"

　"oh oh!"

　Their cheers grew louder, causing the mine tunnel walls to tremble, which startled them so much that they immediately shut their mouths.

　Even so, they were still thinking about how to "grow bigger and stronger and create new glories".

　It seems that kidnapping that young lady is a done deal.

　However, this makes sense, since all three of them are seasoned space pirates, and the leader is a genetic warrior.

　Kidnapping a spoiled young lady who knows nothing is a piece of cake!

　"..."

　"Boss...we're almost there."

　Speaking softly, a henchman gestured to the boss, who was observing the wooden frame above the mine tunnel: "Get ready to move, get ready to move!"

　Big Guy: "..."

　The leader of the gene warriors hesitated slightly as he looked at the seemingly sturdy and solid wooden frames.

　Is the wooden structure of this passageway really that new?

　I feel like something's not quite right.

　Where's the iron gate? Was the intelligence wrong?

　But whatever, he's a genetic warrior anyway. After being genetically modified, he can easily catch a little girl.

　With this in mind, the eldest brother took a deep breath, put the key back in his pocket, and then walked around a corner.

　Immediately afterwards, at the intersection, he suddenly saw a patch of green, which seemed to be some kind of living creature, chirping as it flew around another corner... and disappeared from everyone's sight.

　"..." He was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance with his two henchmen to make sure they weren't seeing things.

　"What are those?"

　One of the underlings spoke up, while the leader of the gene warriors said with a somber face, "Star Beast... an unknown star beast."

　His two underlings may not have seen clearly, but as a genetic warrior, his eyesight was still excellent.

　Those green, winged creatures were undoubtedly a type of star beast they didn't understand.

　But this unexpected event did not affect their plans.

　As we all know, the larger the star beast, the more dangerous it is, while smaller creatures are unlikely to be very dangerous.

　"keep going."

　With that, the leader of the gene warriors led his underlings forward, then cautiously peeked out towards the corner where the little elves had disappeared.

　The three of them then froze in shock.

　What appeared before them was a dense swarm of hundreds of tiny sprites, chattering and wielding spears and wooden clubs (staffs), aimed at them, looking ready for battle.

　Almost instantly, the boss made a decision—

　"The plan has changed, retreat immediately!"

　After cursing like that, he immediately pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the elf.

　"Bang!!!"

　As he moved, a burst of fiery energy shot instantly covered the area in front of him.

　It pulverized a large number of sprites into minced meat.

　Minced meat? No... it doesn't seem so.

　To the astonishment of the three, the slain sprite did not turn into "flesh" but instead vanished as a faintly visible green dot.

　Just like the enemies you see in a game who have been killed.

　"Damn it! What the hell is this?!"

　With that roar, the leader of the gene warriors fled backwards at lightning speed, simultaneously pulling the trigger and firing repeatedly, killing the little elves.

　He then quickly outran his two henchmen, but he continued running without looking back.

　"Boss! Save us!"

　"Boss!!!"

　Amid the mournful cries of his two companions

　The small green humanoid creatures quickly caught up with them, followed by various piercing sounds.

　"Pfft-"

　Immediately afterward, the two fallen companions were overwhelmed by the sprites. Then came the sounds of more blades piercing flesh…

　"I'm using alien profanity! I'm using alien profanity!!!!"

　They continued to shout curses and fire their guns, barely managing to stop the attacks of those strange alien beasts.

　He even wondered if he was living in a dream.

　If I'm not living in a dream, why would I encounter something that seems like something out of a disaster movie?

　"Bang!!! Bang!!!"

　"Hey..."

　Immediately afterward, the genetically engineered warrior, who had been pulling the trigger repeatedly, discovered that the gun's charge had been depleted: "*Alien swear word*!"

　After cursing, he threw the gun in his hand into the group of small creatures, which happened to knock out one of the elves.

　The little sprite was harmed by...

　(X3X)'s expression fell to the ground.

　Then...

　They were swallowed up by the waves of elves.

　-

　"Who sent you? What is your mission?"

　The gene warrior's mind was perfectly clear about what the black-haired "friend" in front of him was saying... yes, perfectly clear and without the slightest confusion.

　His mind was not manipulated.

　On the contrary, at this moment, he felt free... freer than at any other moment before.

　Answering any question from a "friend" is a choice made out of his own free will, not a matter of thinking or hesitating.

　With a relaxed expression, the genetic warrior answered without hesitation, "I was acting on the orders of the ruler of this galaxy."

　“Kidnapping the eldest daughter of the [Han Aix-Hai↑↑se6K·Lawson-Ju Bart-Fengmu·Fei·Up↑Up↓↑——·PainmiaoU] family.”
