Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

Looking at the several standard square vending machines in front of me, which were similar to the ones in the anime before the time travel, there were rows of drinks displayed on them.

Cong Yu, who was a little thirsty, began to hesitate about what bottle to buy.

Um...soda?

With this idea in mind, Cong Yu started tinkering with the vending machine.

"Cong Yujun..."

Then, the voice of Kayoko Miyamoto coming from behind made him stop what he was doing briefly.

But soon, Cong Yu started buying drinks again.

"I always felt like there was something else behind what you said to me in Linx... Could it be that you guessed everything?"

Cong Yu remained calm as he listened to Kayoko Miyamoto's words.

But my heart is complicated...

Guessed it? What did I guess?

Cong Yu was a little confused, and even felt that the sea of ​​stars flashed through his mind, but he still maintained an indifferent attitude.

Although he didn't guess anything, he could still pretend that he knew everything...

Cong Yu has never been a smart person.

But his looks can be deceiving—

The indifferent expression, the look that shows everything is under control, the mysterious way of speaking... it is already known that he is the best of the wise.

Of course, it's all just an illusion.

"Well, if I were to guess something... maybe?"

Cong Yu spoke vaguely, smiled at Miyamoto Kayoko, who had a complicated expression, and then threw the soda in her hand to her: "Please drink it."

In response, Kayoko Miyamoto, who was sitting on the edge of the flower bed tiles behind the vending machine, grabbed the soda.

A normal person might not be able to react, but she is a magical girl.

"Thank you."

As she said this, she reached out and pushed down the glass marble at the mouth of the soda bottle, watching the crystal clear bubbles coming out of the bottle.

To be honest, I miss it a bit.

The last time I drank soda pop seemed like a long time ago. At that time, I wasn’t even a magical girl yet…

However, there was also no handsome, smiling boy who would throw a soda to me.

"Regarding what you want to ask..."

As soon as Kayoko Miyamoto opened her mouth, she saw Cong Yu, who was holding another bottle of soda, sitting next to her.

This made her pause... She subconsciously looked at the boy next to her, and her eyes swept over Cong Yu's neck as she looked up and drank soda.

"..."

After a moment of silence, she began to talk about business: "You probably already know... Xiao Cui's parents, the owner and the owner's wife of the hot spring hotel, or her [adoptive] parents, are guiding her to do evil."

Upon hearing this, Cong Yu raised his eyebrows.

Now he understood everything. It seemed that the couple was doing something bad... so bad that they were going to kill them with snakes.

"Katsuki Rusui's magic is quite special."

Miyamoto Kayoko asked Cong Yu, who obviously knew something about magical girls, "Do you know any [Summoning] techniques?"

The calling type is also commonly known as the summoning system.

For this kind of spell...

Cong Yu thought that, maybe, maybe, he still had some understanding, so he chose to nod.

Miyamoto Kayoko continued, she said: "Katsuki Rusui... also known as Xiao Cui, she can summon some elves... about the size of a palm, with wings on the back of the elves."

"It may not be very effective in combat, but it can probably be quite effective in reconnaissance. Of course, in addition to reconnaissance, it can also..."

Cong Yu immediately realized what Miyamoto Kayoko was saying and said the following for her: "Theft."

Kayoko Miyamoto nodded.

"Yes, that couple has always had Xiao Cui do this...stealing things from outsiders and hiding them in one of Xiao Cui's [spaces] so that the police can't find the dirt or the evidence."

Cong Yu was still a little puzzled about this. He asked, "But, you obviously run a hot spring hotel, so you should be making a lot of money, right? Why do you still want to steal things?"

This is something Cong Yu has never been able to figure out.

"To make money... From the perspective of that couple, any more money they can make is good. They don't like Xiao Cui anyway."

As she spoke, Miyamoto Kayoko threw the finished soda into the trash can on the side of the road, and then spread her hands:

"In fact, many locals know about this... If I had known you were going to stay there, I could have recommended another B&B."

"..."

Many locals know about this...right?

"Fengsha Village, it really is..."

Cong Yu said this with a somewhat awkward expression on her face, and reluctantly found a suitable adjective: "Simple and honest."

Kayoko Miyamoto smiled. Although she didn't understand the joke, she could tell that Cong Yu was speaking in a sarcastic way.

But she was more curious——

"What are you going to do?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cong Yu immediately smiled, but then immediately restrained his expression: "Just consider it bad luck..."

That's impossible, of course.

Cong Yu has never been a person who would swallow his anger in silence.

"Or, I can go talk to Xiao Cui...at least, to get back our losses."

While talking nonsense, Cong Yu nodded to Miyamoto Kayoko, thanked her, and turned back to the hot spring hotel.

Kayoko Miyamoto: "..."

For some reason, she felt that the development of the situation was not good... She always felt that she would see the tragically dead bodies of the couple later.

Maybe it's an illusion...

Chapter 101: However, there was no bloodshed

"Hehe, we gained a lot this time..."

The owner of the hot spring hotel smiled and fiddled with the jewelry, bracelets and traps piled in front of him: "These foreigners are really rich."

Sitting opposite him was the proprietress, who was also smiling. She hurriedly counted the stolen goods, her eyes gleaming with greed.

"Hahaha, they are all from outside the area. Today, a group of them have already left because they thought they were unlucky. It's really great."

The boss said this, and the boss lady whispered a reminder: "That being said, you still have to be careful..."

In response, the boss waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will select a batch and send it to the police station later... How much is this batch of stuff worth?"

In response to the boss's words, the boss's wife cast her eyes on the things on the table, held up five fingers, and said with a smile: "I estimate that it is at least... fifty thousand."

The boss immediately showed a look of joy: "This is really good, thanks to Xiao Cui's help...Okay, take it back~"

The boss said this, looking at Xiao Cui beside him.

"..."

Xiao Cui was a little hesitant. At this moment, she had turned into a magical girl wearing a green gauze-like magic costume.

Under the watchful eyes of his parents, elves slowly gathered together and collected the treasures into the cloth bags carried by the elves. Then, with the release of magic power, the treasures and the elves disappeared together.

"Uncle and aunt..."

Xiao Cui said this in a timid voice. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the two of them: "Can you please not do this kind of thing?"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress's smiling face changed... the speed at which her expression changed was beyond imagination!

"This kind of thing? What is it?"

The lady boss said this with a dark face, and put her hand on Xiao Cui's shoulder: "Did we treat you unfairly after selling the things?"

The boss's face was a little gloomy, but he still tried to smile: "Xiao Cui, what are you talking about... You know, these are all owed to us by you magical girls."

The greed in the boss's eyes was quite obvious: "If you don't want to take things from outsiders, then you have to think of other ways to make money... Xiao Cui, what do you have? What can you do?"

After he finished speaking, the proprietress immediately said -

"You have nothing and you can do nothing."

The lady boss said, staring at Xiao Cui, pressing her hands hard on her face, rubbing it: "If you don't listen, next time I'll ask you to go to the men's bath, it won't just be selling alcohol..."

For an adult, she used a lot of strength in her hands.

It was almost to the extent that an ordinary child's face could be pressed against the teeth to cause the inner wall of the mouth to bleed.

All I can say is that fortunately Xiao Cui is a magical girl and is currently in the process of transforming.

"..."

"don't want……"

Xiao Cui's voice became even lower, as if pleading: "No, you can't do this... I will be obedient."

After hearing what Xiao Cui said, the boss and his wife exchanged glances, and then he sighed: "Alas, your brother is dead... killed by the magical girl."

"We have nothing left, no one to support us..."

The two chattered on and on, and began to act pitiful: "It's also our fault that we don't have the ability to make a lot of money... We can't afford to send you to Fengdu to study."

Go to Fengdu to study.

When Xiao Cui heard this, there was some light in her eyes again... She was studying in Fengsha Village and was going to graduate this year.

Next year, I will be a junior high school student.

If I could leave Fengsha Village and go to Fengdu...

"I see……"

Xiao Cui's face was pale. She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "I will continue to steal... continue to take things, and I will listen to you."

Seeing this, the boss and the boss lady looked at each other again and smiled: "How good! Xiao Cui is indeed our good daughter."

Hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and then showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, uncle and aunt... I'll go back to my room."

"..."

"Pfft~"

After Xiao Cui left, the proprietress couldn't help but laugh. She said with a mocking look on her face: "Are you still thinking about going to Fengdu to study?"

"This child is quite cunning... When she grows up and becomes sensible, she will definitely take revenge on us. Then we will be in trouble."

The boss smiled at the boss lady's words, revealing a cruel expression: "I have already arranged it. I will sell it to Central City when the time comes... There are many powerful people there, and they just happen to like magical girls like Xiao Cui."

"..."

"..."

"I say, aren't you guys a little too outrageous?"

A strange voice came from the floor of the room. It sounded like a young boy's voice: "You guys are too bad!"

Hearing this sighing voice, the boss and his wife immediately jumped up: "What?! Who is it!"

As the two people spoke, two strands of pitch-black magic power quickly crawled on the ground like a fast-moving snake.

Then it instantly sank into the bodies of the two people.

After just a moment of struggle, the consciousness of the two was completely controlled...but their thoughts still existed.

Thinking is still normal...memories are still retained.

But the ownership of the soul no longer belongs to them at this moment.
