Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Honestly, Cong Yu didn't think Yao Chuan Guang's actions were reasonable or correct at all... but they were indeed quite heartwarming.

　Then, as the surrounding "doctor's office" scene vanished, what finally appeared before Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang was a room.

　Both of them always had a sense of being "down-to-earth"...

　The change in the surrounding environment was quite natural, with no particular discomfort whatsoever.

　This is different from "jumping" inside a spaceship.

　At this moment, it seemed as if it wasn't Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang who were leaping forward, but rather everything around them.

　Then, Cong Yu immediately noticed...

　The style and layout of this room have a strange sense of familiarity.

　"Huh? Where am I?"

　Yaochuan Guang asked this question, looking around the room and taking in everything around him.

　The room felt like a "living room," or, in Yaochuan Guang's words, it reminded her of a high-end hotel.

　The walls were covered with white metal... although they were white, they weren't painted.

　There are a considerable number of screens hanging on the wall, all of which are currently black, indicating that they are not powered on.

　On the living room table sat the hourglass.

　This thing must be the culprit that caused her and Congyu-chan to suddenly end up in this strange place.

　On the other side of the room was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

　Yao Chuanguang blinked, looking out the window at the lights of the tall buildings and their sheer number.

　Billboards far more numerous than one could imagine.

　Not only on skyscrapers, but also countless advertisements visible when looking down. Even when looking up at the sky, the sky is covered with billboards.

　"Wow……"

　Yao Chuanguang couldn't help but make a sound, leaning against the window to look at everything outside: "How exaggerated... Hey! Is that McDonald's? Cong Yu, look, there's a McDonald's ad."

　To the McDonald's advertisement that Yaochuan Guang was pointing to, which was suspended in the empty sky, Cong Yu blinked and replied, "Hmm."

　In response, Cong Yu's gaze wandered around the room, finally settling on the other end, where there was a half-open door.

　Cong Yu tugged at Yao Chuanguang, then walked over there: "Come with me... I think I know where this is."

　Yaochuan Guang obediently followed Cong Yu's lead, moving about in this completely unfamiliar place.

　"Where is this place?"

　Cong Yu's answer was simple: "My family... as I said before, I am a person from the future."

　Yaochuan Guang still remembers this.

　After Cong Yu concluded the "Bai Le Liu Incident," the people of Li Township basically understood the situation.

　However, I've never really felt it was real.

　"Huh? So...we've traveled to the future?!"

　Amidst Yaochuan Guang's surprised exclamation, Cong Yu nodded: "Yes, this is where I grew up..."

　Before she could finish speaking, Cong Yu pushed open the door, looked at the "bedroom" behind her, glanced past the "roaming system" on the headboard, and looked at her... bed?

　Then, Cong Yu was stunned.

　Because the bed in the bedroom, the sheets and blankets are a lovely pink, and they are decorated with small animal patterns.

　"Wow, Congyu-chan, your blanket is so cute."

　Cong Yu hesitated for a moment after hearing Yao Chuan Guang's praise, trying hard to recall... Wait a minute, he never used to use this blanket before.

　"Uh, this isn't my blanket..."

　As she explained, Cong Yu squinted at her surroundings: "If you look closely, some of the furnishings seem to be arranged differently from what I used to see in my home..."

　Hmm, wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be my home.

　Suddenly, Cong Yu realized this and understood that she had made a foolish, presumptuous assumption...

　"Ahem, no... this isn't my home."

　Cong Yu coughed twice, then explained to Yao Chuanguang, "It's my old house, a room with a similar style."

　Cong Yu was born and raised in Whitford City.

　Therefore, we can roughly conclude...

　"We are now in Whitty City."

　Cong Yu said this, while Yao Chuan Guang blinked curiously: "Never heard of it... On Earth? In America?"

　As Cong Yu walked out of the bedroom, she replied, "Whitty City is Whitty City, it's in the future."

　In the future, the concept of "nation" will no longer exist; instead, it will be broken down into very small, fragmented parts...

　To put it nicely, this might be the beginning of the "global village" concept; to put it bluntly, it's already fallen apart.

　Every city has its own rules...

　There's nothing wrong with treating each city as if it were a country.

　"And if you want to know the geographical location... then you can think of it as Alaska in our time."

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang blinked, then suddenly revealed a proud expression, put his hands on his hips, and laughed: "Hahaha."

　Cong Yu pulled her back to the living room, glancing at her sideways: "Yao Chuan Guang, why are you laughing?"

　Logically speaking, Yaochuan Guang should have said something like, "I laugh at that XX for being reckless and lacking in wisdom."

　However, Yaochuan Guang's focus was strangely focused; he squinted his eyes with a smug look on his face and replied, "Congyu-chan said 'our era,' eh—"

　"..." Well, indeed.

　Cong Yu didn't know when, but she had begun to regard herself as someone from Yao Chuan Guang's era.

　This might be what a sense of belonging is.

　"Humph……"

　Cong Yu couldn't help but laugh, gently tapping Yao Chuanguang's head and saying, "What are you so happy about?"

　"I'm just an ordinary person in this era, and my lifespan is only a fraction of what it was in our time... You idiot."

　Of course. Even the five years spent with Yaochuan Guang and the others might be worth more than fifty years, or even a hundred years...

　But Cong Yu would never say this aloud.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu tapped Yao Chuan's still grinning bald head again, then looked at the hourglass on the table.

　At this very moment, the sand in the hourglass is slowly falling, grain by grain... and there's a strange countdown on it.

　"Congyu-chan! Take me outside to play! Future! I want to go shopping! I want to go shopping in the future!"

　To Yaochuan Guang's words, Cong Yu placed one hand on her head, stopping her from having that puppy-like "Go out and play!" mentality: "Wait a minute."

　Honestly, shouldn't normal children immediately be worried about things like, "Is it dangerous?" and "Will we be able to go back?"

　Why isn't Yaochuan Guang even a little flustered?

　Cong Yu sighed at this point, placing his hand on the hourglass, and opened...

　I began to try using the power of faith to operate.

　Then...

　"We're back now, that's about it."

　Cong Yu recounted the events to those present, with Yao Chuan Guang adding (and causing trouble).

　The group exchanged bewildered glances...

　"So, why does activating a divine artifact send someone to the future? Is there any logic to this?"

　Shunni Sanqianliu asked this question while tapping on the mobile game she needed to clear her stamina.

　By the way, the boss often tries out new mobile games, but he usually only plays them for a day after the server opens...

　However, once she gets into a game, she's unlikely to quit. As a result, she needs to play more and more mobile games to clear her stamina.

　"..." Cong Yu wasn't entirely sure about her question either.

　However, since the artifact's purpose is to take people to the future...

　So perhaps, there will be something you absolutely must go to in the future.

　While Congyu was pondering, Yaochuan Guang excitedly raised his hand: "Congyu-chan! Hurry, hurry, activate the future! This is my life's work..."

　Before Yaochuan Guang could finish speaking, Lantian Zhu grabbed her from behind, and the impatient Lantian finally covered Yaochuan Guang's mouth.

　This interrupted her skill's pre-cast animation.

　And that is precisely why—

　"Ugh...ugh... (Little Blue, what are you doing? Ouch...)"

　Amidst Yaochuan Guang's "uh-uh" sounds, Congyu's resolute response likely stemmed from not being hit by Yaochuan Guang's skill.

　"No, I'm only prepared to go alone... I can't let any of you take any risks until I've figured things out."

　As Cong Yu was speaking, Yao Chuan Guang successfully broke free from Lan Tian Zhu's clutches and bit Lan Tian Zhu's hand.

　While barking loudly, it gently rubbed Lan Tianzhu's hand with its teeth, making her feel ticklish.

　Many people were stunned after Cong Yu said this.

　Cong Yu's answer was indeed reasonable, but for some reason, whether it was Lan Tianzhu or Xiao Cui...

　Even Hong and Miss Chiyou, who had just arrived with great concern after hearing about Cong Yu's accident, were stunned upon hearing the story.

　Everyone couldn't help but look at Yaochuan Guang...

　Everyone remembers that whenever Yaochuan Guang asked for something, Congyu would agree even if he looked helpless.

　But this time, Cong Yu refused.

　"Oh, I understand."

　As Lan Tianzhu said this, she understood something: "So it wasn't that you were accommodating Xiaoguang, but that Xiaoguang's words really were a curse."

　It might be something like the power of words...

　Xiao Cui understood, nodding and saying, "That phrase, 'This is my lifelong request,' was probably a Command Spell activated by Sister Yao Chuan."

　The little elf immediately chimed in to this—

　"Chirp-chirp-chirp—(Indeed, indeed—)"

　"Chirp chirp—(Yeah—)"

　"Chirp chirp—(Savior—)"

　"..." Where did that kind of setting come from?!

　Cong Yu was internally complaining, while someone who had been listening nearby instantly understood what was going on.

　"Cough cough..."

　After clearing his throat twice to attract everyone's attention, Shungai Yachiru removed his hood, his face showing embarrassment mixed with longing for the "future world".

　"Take me there, this...this is my lifelong request."

　Shunni Baqianliu said this, his embarrassed expression extremely obvious... and the others also felt embarrassed because of it.

　In an awkward atmosphere...

　He was dragged away by his sister.

　Chapter 1048 No! An Alien Class Teacher!

　Cong Yu's statement that she "only plans to go alone" was not a joke... and it was certainly not something that could be easily swayed.

　Even if Hikaru Yokawa's "lifelong request" is successfully activated, Murasame will still not change her mind...

　If it is his own ability, then he has the power to freely travel between this era and that "future era".

　So, not only could I bring Yaochuan Guang along, I could bring anyone who wanted to go too...
