Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　With this in mind, Cong Yu and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance.

　"Go and see?"

　Cong Yu turned to Xiao Cui and said,

　Then, with Xiao Cui nodding, she yawned and said, "Let's go take a look... Anyway, we don't have any ideas about what to do next."

　As he said this, Cong Yu quickly maneuvered the Jormungandr train, maintaining its "invisibility" state, and weaved through the clouds, closely following the medical ship ahead.

　As they drew closer, Cong Yu and Xiao Cui gradually saw the village they had just left behind... The medical ship's destination was indeed the village.

　At this moment, the villagers are still gathered together.

　Previously, they gathered in front of the planting machine terminal, but now they are gathered at the village entrance, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.

　Nearby were several young people who appeared uneasy, clearly separated from the older villagers...

　Between the two was an old pointed-eared tribesman lying motionless on the ground... seemingly unconscious.

　As the hospital ship slowly descended, several medical staff hurriedly disembarked and carried the elderly man away.

　The atmosphere was somewhat heavy and sorrowful.

　Cong Yu and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance, and then the train stopped in an open space far from the village. The two quickly jumped off the train and ran towards the village chief.

　"Old village chief?"

　Cong Yu greeted them, and only then did the others notice him. The young men looked at the village chief with questioning expressions.

　“Those city folks who asked for directions earlier, you were still sleeping back then… lazy bums! Go back to your houses and reflect on your actions!”

　The village chief scolded the young men, and those who were ashamed and knew they were in the wrong all ran away.

　The village chief shook his head with a sigh and looked at Cong Yu: "You've come at the right time... After you left, I looked through it and found the clan genealogy. I don't know if it will be of any use to you."

　A family tree? An unexpected find…

　"Thank you, you've been a great help."

　Cong Yu thanked them sincerely, and then asked, "We saw a hospital ship coming... Did something happen?"

　The village chief's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness: "That old man's grandson... said he wanted to sell the land on the hillside over there and go to the city to try his luck with the other young people in the village."

　"As they argued, they started pushing and shoving each other... Then, the old man was pushed over and hit his head, which was very badly injured."

　As he spoke, the village chief began to ramble on, saying, "Xia Qing... used to always sit in a rocking chair and sunbathe."

　“His grandson and the village children always liked to gather around him and listen to his stories, back when there were no terminals.”

　"Now everyone's using terminals, and I've learned how to use one too... but Old Man Shrimp still doesn't like using it."

　With these thoughts in mind, the village chief shook his head and told Cong Yu and Xiao Cui, the two outsiders, some things he couldn't say to the villagers.

　He felt a little better after talking about it.

　As he spoke, the village chief tidied up the clan genealogy on the table and continued to sigh, "Many people from the village have gone out to work."

　"They always bring back something new...and they've made a lot of money and bought a lot of machines."

　"but……"

　The village chief paused, then gave a wry smile, and handed the family tree to Cong Yu: "Sometimes I still think... things were better before."

　Having concluded this, the village chief suppressed his self-deprecating smile, then coughed lightly twice, his body hunched over, and bid farewell to the two.

　"I'm sorry, old man, I've said so much... I wish you a safe journey to find the Lun.hui clan."

　Be careful when hiking on mountain trails!

　-

　"Have you retrieved your calamity, Coranley?"

　The person who spoke had a complex tone... perhaps a hint of sarcasm, or perhaps a touch of concern.

　Clearly, since it wasn't all out of concern, the pointed-eared woman who removed her cloak didn't appreciate it: "Mind your own business."

　The woman with pointed ears, scolding the other woman, looked at the screen on the terminal; "Almost there... very soon."

　"After I find 'them,' the world will return to its original state... It's time to reclaim happiness."

　The male pointy-eared tribesman who was making the noise was speechless in the face of the woman's muttering.

　"Really……"

　The male with pointed ears could only say this, his voice filled with complex emotions, even bordering on a mixture of joy and sorrow.

　"I expect the latter, but I don't expect you to be able to do the former... Everything can't go back to the way it was."

　“Kolanli… In fact, even in the forest, if we look up, we can still see the stars through the lush green leaves.”

　The pointed-eared woman, known as Coranli, did not respond to the man's words: "There is no longer any place for Emerald Green on this planet."

　"..." The man could not refute this point and could only watch as Ke Lanli walked towards the "Environmental Protection Army" meeting room.

　After brushing past each other...

　The man couldn't help but wonder if this longing and reminiscence for the past was genuine.

　Or is it merely the unwilling howl of someone who has abandoned themselves in the abyss?

　Can……

　Rather than trying to drag everything back into the abyss, learn to stand in the sunlight again...

　Unfortunately, he couldn't go back on his own.

　Ke Lanli...

　How can I pull you up?

　With this thought in mind, the pointed-eared man stepped out of the passage and looked at the training grounds and barracks built in the dense forest around him.

　"Environmental Protection Army" is a nice-sounding name.

　To put it bluntly, they are a group of extreme terrorists, rebels who want to overthrow the regime of Blue Star.

　Most of those gathered here are Pointy-Eared Race members and others who are dissatisfied with the interstellar age.

　Is this right or wrong?

　Should we embrace the universe or go back to the past?

　The man didn't quite understand this, but he joined anyway. Ultimately, however, he didn't reminisce about the past like those who trained so hard.

　He was more clear-headed than anyone else.

　Or rather, he believed he was more clear-headed than anyone else... He knew that what he missed was not the past, but the beautiful memories of the past.

　That's why he wanted to try to pull Ke Lanli out of the abyss.

　After all, they were children who grew up in the same village...

　With this thought in mind, the man glanced at the message on his terminal, then immediately stopped and remained silent for a long time.

　……

　Perhaps he was still too arrogant.

　In fact, he has always been in—

　Bottom of the abyss.

　Chapter 1021 Ex-Husband (Fake) Dies Tragically

　"Brother Congyu, do you miss the past?"

　Whether it was out of genuine feeling or not, Xiao Cui asked this question, while Cong Yu was somewhat unsure whether she should give a serious answer.

　But in the end, he told the truth...

　"In the past, I often reminisced about the 'past,' but now that you're all by my side, the only thing that truly resides in my heart is the 'present.'"

　Xiao Cui paused slightly at Cong Yu's words, then turned her head...

　She realized that Cong Yu was subtly expressing his love.

　Although it wasn't just about her, but about the many people who made up his life... it was still quite interesting.

　"..." After chuckling to herself, Xiao Cui blinked and looked at the village receding into the distance behind the train.

　Looking at the surrounding mountains, Xiao Cui thought of the city where the Blue Planet Chief lived... The contrast of the times created a strong sense of impact.

　There seemed to be an atmosphere in the air that was beyond Xiao Cui's ability to think, making her feel dizzy.

　Those elderly people abandoned by the times...

　Will they live in an increasingly progressive era, and then die immersed in the past?

　Xiao Cui couldn't help but think this.

　What she's thinking about right now is the part that will be downplayed in the "story"... these are the parts that won't be described.

　Like the people in primitive tribes who were left behind on Earth, unable and unwilling to take anything with them.

　Just like the Little Mermaid's parents.

　Just like in Cinderella, the peaceful dreams of a farming family were disturbed by the mad prince who went from door to door demanding to try on shoes...

　They probably don't have any objections, right?

　However, it's more likely...

　Those people are the backdrop of fairy tales, the characters in extraordinary stories who don't need to be described in words.

　Thinking of this, Xiao Cui's mind went blank for a moment, and then she immediately...

　……

　I took out my device and started playing with it.

　……

　What? Nobody really thinks Xiao Cui would explode for this reason? Don't be ridiculous... she's not from Planet Blue.

　And if we're talking about tragic circumstances, when Xiao Cui was little, living at Xiang Yuelu's house, she was truly the kind of person who was neither loved by her maternal grandmother nor her maternal uncle.

　Back then, Xiao Cui hadn't even exploded yet (although it felt like she was close), let alone now that she's pretty much come to terms with it.

　A slight sigh is enough.

　Little elf: "Chirp chirp chirp—(Savior—)"

　Little elf: "Chirp chirp chirp—(That's right—)"

　Little elf: "Chirp chirp chirp—(Ah, the old days—)"

　……

　Meanwhile, Cong Yu started looking through the clan genealogy of the [lun.hui? clan] that the village chief had given him... Ugh, so troublesome.

　Let's just write "Reincarnation Clan" directly.

　I'm done acting! I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!

　Lun.hui? It's super troublesome to fight...

　Under Cong Yu's swaying gaze, Cong Yu was surprised to find that... he couldn't understand a single word.

　Damn it! This isn't even a common language!

　Aieeeeee! Common language! Why is it a common language...?

　Noticing Cong Yu's pained expression, Xiao Cui curiously leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

　Then, Xiao Cui saw writing on yellowed parchment, in a language different from the common language.

　To be honest, I don't quite understand it...

　After blinking, Xiao Cui made a judgment: "Is it... the local language of Blue Blue Star?"

　It seems that way.

　Cong Yu nodded, and pointed the terminal at the family tree in her hand, replying, "Yes... I should be able to learn it quickly using the power of faith."

　Xiao Cui: ? ? ?

　Huh? They can even do this much?
