Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　However, since Bai Leliu had said so, Cong Yu naturally didn't mind following the normal route and entering the city through the inspection gate.

　Anyway, he's not here to cause trouble.

　Even if some conspiracy is discovered and a fight breaks out, there's no rush... let's try diplomacy first, then force.

　"Just ahead, just ahead, you can get off there."

　As Bai Leliu spoke, he gestured for the two of them to leave the Jormungandr train from a slightly forward position.

　Cong Yu complied and followed Bai Leliu out of the Jormungandr train.

　At the same time, Cong Yu also noticed that there were cameras almost everywhere around the city, with no blind spots.

　Perhaps there should be more security cameras in the city...

　Looking at it this way, it does have a slight "dystopian future" feel... Unfortunately, Cong Yu doesn't seem to care much about the camera.

　Is it true that "if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear"?

　Well, perhaps it would be more appropriate to summarize it as "having long been accustomed to information leaks".

　Bai Leliu didn't immediately enter the city; instead, he stood there and waved at the camera above his head.

　However, nothing happened.

　Immediately afterward, in the silence, a click was heard—all the surrounding cameras had activated.

　No, that description is inappropriate; those cameras were probably already activated.

　However, as Bai Leliu led Cong Yu toward the camera...

　After they waved, all the cameras immediately pointed in their direction.

　It was as if those cameras were alive, simultaneously "looking" at Cong Yu and Bai Leliu.

　This kind of scene could be considered science fiction horror.

　Bai Leliu was clearly surprised by this, and she couldn't help but take a step back: "Eh? Why is everyone looking this way?"

　Bai Leliu, who was talking to himself, glanced at Cong Yu, whose face was full of "What else?", and said, "I just told Mo Yilai that I had something to do and needed to come over... but Mo Yilai seems to be paying a lot of attention to this place."

　After a brief moment of contemplation, Bai Leliu quickly concluded, "The other Moirai may have exchanged information with the Moirai of my world... They are definitely watching you."

　Even without Bai Leliu saying it, Cong Yu could pretty much guess that. He wasn't curious about it, and simply said, "So?"

　Should they continue as planned and go in to find Moile, or will Moile come out to find them later?

　As Cong Yu was thinking this.

　"Dudu da dudu da—"

　Bai Leliu's phone suddenly rang, and the ringtone was so...that Cong Yu felt an urge to complain.

　But Cong Yu still didn't voice her complaints.

　Under Cong Yu's gaze, a puzzled Bai Lelu took out his phone and looked at it, then muttered, "An unknown number."

　Even as he said that, Bai Leliu immediately answered the phone: "Hello? Who is this...? Huh?!?"

　"Moire?!?"

　Bai Leliu's voice turned to one of shock. She turned to look at Cong Yu and handed him the phone: "It was Mo Yilai calling. He said he was looking for you, but we haven't even entered the city yet..."

　……

　Cong Yu was not surprised at all by this.

　Gently shaking her head, Cong Yu took Bai Leliu's phone and pressed her fingers against the messy decorations on her phone case.

　It's a little prickly...

　Do idols always have some strange colored rhinestones stuck on their phone cases? That's quite amazing.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu spoke first to Moirai on the other end of the phone, the one from this world: "Moirai?"

　Then, regarding Cong Yu's words...

　"Yes, this is Moirai."

　"..." The voice, which sounded clearly "inhuman," instantly sent goosebumps up all over Cong Yu's arms.

　He hadn't thought of that...

　Moirai's voice was surprisingly filled with a sense of "mechanical", "divinity", "distant" and "coldness".

　Every Moirai he knew, though some of them were imbued with a sense of divinity and holiness.

　But like Moile in this world, who is so "mechanical" that even his voice alone triggers the uncanny valley effect in Cong Yu...

　All I can say is that this is the first time Cong Yu has encountered this.

　"Your voice sounds..."

　Cong Yu couldn't help but point this out, saying to Moira on the other end of the phone, "It's a bit too cold."

　As for Cong Yu's words, the other Moira didn't deny it at all; she simply explained—

　"[Indeed, and for this very reason, I find it difficult to make the right decisions regarding the human 'heart' in order to deal with disasters.]"

　"So, I also have something I'd like to ask you."

　"..." Cong Yu rarely saw Mo Yilai with such a humble attitude... well, should I call it humble?

　Or……

　Is it indifference and alienation...?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu casually asked, "I do have something I want to ask you... Hmm, what do you want to ask me?"

　"..."

　“Come teach me what ‘love’ is.”

　……

　Cong Yu: "???"

　Chapter 1098 Many, Many More

　Saint King himself knew that what Pirate King said in the group chat was not actually malicious.

　However, the Saint King did feel slightly attacked because of the Pirate King's words.

　And they were indeed harmed.

　To put it simply, it means their defenses have been breached.

　First she said something like, "Oh, I thought you were a guy," and then she said something like, "Your breasts are so small, it's not my fault for admitting my mistake, is it?"

　Even if the Saint King didn't mind these kinds of comments, she still genuinely wanted to sigh.

　She wasn't lamenting her figure or anything else, but rather the progress of her relationship with Cong Yu... They were still like brothers.

　Previously, Saint King was very proud of his relationship with Cong Yu as "brother".

　But after learning that Cong Yu had actually been intimate with many people, and even held some kind of lottery...

　The Saint King couldn't help but feel some apprehension.

　Being "brothers" with Cong Yu for life isn't exactly something easy to accept...

　That night, the Saint King could not sleep day or night.

　Subsequently, the Saint King dreamed of attending the wedding of Murasame and Yuki-onna as Murasame's brother and as a groomsman.

　Finally, he witnessed Cong Yu and Xue Nu entering their bridal chamber.

　Then the Saint King awoke...

　Upon waking, the Saint King gazed at the sky above his palace.

　The ceiling. I couldn't calm down for a long time.

　Unable to forget his past, the Saint King finally chose to confide his inner unease to his chief court magician.

　Then...

　-

　"Your Majesty, don't be nervous."

　"..."

　"It's alright, the Snow Woman is very easy to talk to."

　"..." In the silence of the Saint King, the white-haired magical girl, who had been the only one speaking all along, sighed helplessly.

　She then knocked on the door of the Snow Woman's office and said, "Lady Snow Woman, we've arrived."

　In response to the white-haired magical girl's words, the Frost Fairy opened the door from the Snow Woman's office and invited the two kings who had arranged to meet into the office.

　Afterwards, the Frost Fairy, who was very self-aware of her role as a "second-in-command," left the office, leaving the space to the Snow Woman and the two of them.

　Upon seeing the two arrive, Yuki-onna, who was still handling official business, put down the documents in her hand and said, "Good evening, please have a seat."

　The snow woman pointed to the sofa, gesturing for the Saint King and the white-haired magical girl to sit down... She behaved very gently.

　Although the Snow Woman is often associated with a cold and aloof beauty, like an iceberg, her "heart" is indeed no longer frozen.

　The monster kings have always known that Yuki-onna is a very gentle and kind person ever since they met her.

　However, when Congyu first met Yuki-onna, her personality and attitude could be described as "cold" compared to now.

　This was something that even Cong Yu hadn't taken seriously.

　The other monster kings would naturally be even less likely to know.

　Saint King gazed at the Snow Maiden's beautiful face, his eyes involuntarily drifting to her figure... which wasn't very large.

　Especially among the Monster Kings, there are those with unusually large breasts like the Pirate King, and those with rather voluptuous breasts like Tamamo.

　The Snow Woman is not big.

　However, it is definitely clear that there is one, and it can be considered to be in the third tier... a bit bigger than the Death King.

　What? You're asking about the "King of Death"?

　Yes, the Death King has pectoral muscles, and they're rather exaggerated... much bigger than the Saint King's.

　"..."

　The Snow Woman noticed the Saint King's gaze. She blinked hesitantly, then looked at the white-haired magical girl with a questioning look.

　Then it was discovered that the white-haired magical girl had also noticed the Saint King's gaze... As the Saint King's advisor, she showed a sigh and a look of disappointment on her face.

　The strange behavior of the two puzzled the Snow Woman, who asked with a somewhat bewildered expression, "So, what is this 'thing you want to discuss'?"

　The Saint King hesitated somewhat when asked about this.

　"Cough cough..."

　The white-haired magical girl coughed twice and spoke on behalf of her boss: "Lady Yuki-onna, you know... the Saint King actually likes Murasame."

　"..." Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman showed a somewhat surprised expression, as if she had never heard this statement before: "Eh?"

　White-haired magical girl: "???"

　Saint King: "..."

　Then, the white-haired magical girl also showed a surprised expression, saying, "Huh? You don't know that?"

　The snow woman nodded slightly in response.

　"Well, I think it's not just me, most of the Monster Kings probably don't know this... no, not that they don't know, but that they're unsure."

　"Everyone knows that you, Saint King, trust Cong Yu very much. But whether it's worship or treating Cong Yu as an older brother... no one is sure."

　As she said this, the Snow Woman recalled for a moment and said, "After all, you usually call Cong Yu 'my brother'."

　Yes, it only showed brotherly affection, not romantic love.

　Well, at least it wasn't very obvious. From an outsider's perspective, it would be hard to deny the Saint King's attitude.

　Although there are interactions between Saint King and Cong Yu, it always feels like Saint King only treats Cong Yu as a brother or idol to worship.

　It's hard to determine whether it's romantic love between a man and a woman.

　After all, the Saint King's behavior was similar to how Munemasa Yoshimi and Dente treated Murasame...
