My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Lin Ruoyu opened her eyes, glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and woke up earlier than the alarm clock.

Turning her head, Tang Ming still had his eyes tightly closed, fast asleep. Lin Ruoyu propped her head up and looked at him; Tang Ming's eyelids were twitching rhythmically, he must be dreaming.

Lin Ruoyu yawned silently and glanced at their large bed with great interest.

No matter when, Tang Ming always slept like a bamboo pole, lying straight and lifeless wrapped in the blankets. Lin Ruoyu, on the other hand, would occasionally dream, and would restlessly wriggle out of her "territory," sometimes even climbing onto Tang Ming...

Fortunately, Tang Ming slept soundly and deeply. She was a light sleeper, and would wake up as soon as she felt her arm digging into her. Realizing that she was already straddling Tang Ming, she blushed and shrank back into her "territory".

At least Tang Ming didn't know, so it wasn't embarrassing... Well, she even specifically tried to find out if the other person was pretending to be asleep, and luckily, he was really fast asleep.

What is he dreaming about? Is it the same as mine? Lin Ruoyu's thoughts wandered aimlessly...

She sometimes wondered if the two of them had engaged in any intimate behavior. In fact, after three years of marriage, they should have done what they were supposed to do long ago. She had even found some items in the house.

She would occasionally test Tang Ming, and if he actually "accepted the challenge," she could use a pretext.

However... judging from the other party's reaction, it seems that they have reached the slump of an old married couple after three years, and Tang Ming seems to have no desires or wants.

While feeling relieved, Lin Ruoyu couldn't help but feel curious about the two years she had "disappeared".

Is this really how the two of them get along?

She was just playing "herself" based on what the people around her said, but couldn't Tang Ming, her husband, see that?

Lin Ruoyu knew that from the very beginning, the two of them could not trust each other. Her secret magical girl identity was just another drop in the bucket in their relationship.

Tang Ming probably didn't remember her either; yesterday's guess came back to her mind.

She had originally intended to subtly inquire about this, but after last night's argument, she changed her mind and decided not to alert the other party.

Both of them were present at the grand opening of the Sky Tower last year. Overnight, the Void Beasts invaded, and disaster struck. The city's tallest building was sealed as a result.

For both Tang Ming and her, all the questions remained unanswered on that day. Unfortunately, the records of the Demon Department contained only fragmentary information, and even Li Shuang was unaware of what had happened back then.

After resolving the problems and corruption in Fangzhou City and rebuilding the city's protective capabilities, she will thoroughly investigate the cause of her amnesia.

……

After washing up, Lin Ruoyu dried her wet hands, examined her skin closely in the mirror, and then patted her face with satisfaction.

Seeing that Tang Ming was still asleep, Lin Ruoyu closed the door, took out the necklace from her chest, and with a flick of her finger, the Soul Jade Fragment appeared in her hand.

The black cotton fibers had lessened, and Lin Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief. As the "impurities" gradually dissipated, her headache also lessened considerably.

For some reason, she only felt less of a headache when she was sleeping; at other times, she felt like there was a little person swimming in her brain... It seems she needs to pay attention to her sleep.

The alarm clock rang in the bedroom, and Tang Ming had already woken up. Lin Ruoyu quickly covered him with a concealing spell and stuffed it into her clothes.

……

You look great...

From the moment they got up until they washed up, neither of them spoke a word until Tang Ming finally spoke at the dinner table.

"Ah, maybe I had a few drinks yesterday, so I slept better."

Do you remember what we talked about last night?

Tang Ming grabbed a steamed bun, tore it open, and found that it was filled with chives. He frowned, but still stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it hastily.

"I'm so drunk, I don't remember much, but it seems like we talked about a lot of things... Did I say something bad?"

Lin Ruoyu blinked and thought hard as she spoke.

"You really don't remember?" Tang Ming asked in surprise.

"It's fake." Lin Ruoyu flashed a bright smile. "I can hold my liquor pretty well, and I haven't forgotten a single word I said last night!"

Tang Ming was stunned, forgetting to chew the bun in his mouth.

After her image seemed to have collapsed last night, Lin Ruoyu displayed a hint of "witch" temperament. Tang Ming couldn't say what the difference was between her and the past. To say that he was very familiar with her... didn't seem very convincing.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Ruoyu rolled her eyes.

"You look even prettier now." Tang Ming lowered his head and continued to eat the chive-filled buns.

"..." Lin Ruoyu opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time. Seeing the other person eating with their head covered, she muttered a few words silently and then stopped talking.

After finishing their meal, the two went out together as usual. They were now used to going downstairs together and then parting ways at the door. Before leaving, Tang Ming casually picked up the trash bag by the door, which contained clothes stained with blood and mud.

Lin Ruoyu really wanted to snatch it and open it to see how Tang Ming would explain... but in the end she didn't do it; what's done is done.

"How about I drive you to work?"

Tang Ming was now openly going to the garage to drive his car, so after thinking for a moment, he politely inquired.

Lin Ruoyu naturally refused, as the company wasn't ready yet. "No need today, you can pick me up next time."

"Okay, sure."

Tang Ming was just being polite. He also had a suitcase in his car that could transform. Although others usually couldn't see anything, it was always good to be careful.

-----------------

"Hey, Ruoyu~ Why are you calling so early? You don't have any missions today, right?" Li Shuang, who had been watching dramas all night, was lying on the bed with dark circles under her eyes, craning her neck towards the phone receiver.

Although Li Shuang tried her best to speak with a strong voice, Lin Ruoyu knew that she was still not awake because of her thick nasal tone.

She and Kaoru next to her exchanged a helpless smile. "Hurry up and come to the base. We need to go through the procedures at Hoshino Clothing today."

"Why do you suddenly want to do this? I haven't been there for a week... And aren't you supposed to be teaching Ye Jingjing?" Li Shuang wanted to struggle and sleep a little longer.

"She doesn't have to go to class, so call her over too. Okay... hurry up and come over, or I won't earn any money and I'll be kicked out of the house."

Lin Ruoyu was helpless. Every time she was with Li Shuang, she acted like an older sister... Even though Li Shuang's public persona was that of a cold and aloof older sister!

"Kicked out of the house... Oh, Tang Ming thinks you earn too little and eat too much, right?"

"I don't eat much... but it's true that you don't earn much money..." Lin Ruoyu said hesitantly.

"Huh?" Li Shuang's surprised voice came, and Xun also stared at her with wide eyes.

In their several observations of Tang Ming, they didn't think he was such a petty person. The reason for the couple arguing over finances... seemed too realistic to the magical girls, and even somewhat abstract.

"Um...it's not that I don't earn enough money, it's not what you think! It's a complicated matter, and it actually has nothing to do with money..."

"Alright, alright... I'm coming now. Hmm, I'll pick up Ye Jingjing on the way. It's so convenient not having to go to school. Kids have nothing better to do, I can just go to her house and grab her!"

"I should still persuade her to go to class. She's only in junior high... Does she really want to be a magical girl for the rest of her life?" Lin Ruoyu shook her head.

Li Shuang didn't care at all, "What's wrong with that? Yui already said there's no such thing as an age limit, it's just that elves like to find young ones."

Xun, who had been enjoying tea and the morning sunlight nearby, heard this and said softly:

"Magic has only existed for eight years. Eight years may seem like a long time... but it's just a blink of an eye. Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?"

Lin Ruoyu's phone was on speakerphone, and Li Shuang remained silent for a moment. After a while, she sighed and stood up:

"Indeed... Magic was a miracle for us when the Void invaded."

"Miracles always disappear, otherwise wouldn't this be a given?"

Lin Ruoyu and Xun looked at each other, and Lin Ruoyu rubbed her forehead and said:

"Sis... you're quite philosophical. There's no need for magical girls to worry about these things. Just clear out the void beasts, purify the alien matter, and protect the city... that's enough for every single day."

"Tch, you're not suited to saying such naive things. You're the one who thinks the most... Laugh a little more often, or you'll get gray hair!"

Li Shuang tossed her phone aside and resumed her cheerful demeanor.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoyu stared blankly at herself on the screen, then looked up and met Xun's gentle gaze.

A question was directed at Kaoru.

"Xun, can you take a look for me..." Lin Ruoyu muttered softly, "Do I have any gray hairs on my head..."

-----------------

Ye Jingjing got up early, but it had nothing to do with becoming a magical girl.

She gets up around six every morning, prepares a simple, tasteless breakfast, eats it bit by bit, and then, armed with various mediums engraved with magic circles, begins to teach herself magic. With an ample supply of magic stones, she can experiment little by little; after all, Tang Ming has provided her with enough magic stones to last her for ten years…

In some ways, she was a magical genius.

Now these magic stones are useless to Ye Jingjing. With the existence of the Soul Jade, the endless magic power of the Magic Realm can be projected into reality.

This is the confidence of a magical girl!

Regardless of the amount of magic power they possess, their skill level, or the strength of their spells, magical girls have an unlimited supply of the most fundamental "ammunition" for magic.

Humanity has no shortage of wizards who have mastered spells comparable to those of magical girls, and some even more skillfully cast and wield them. However, lacking an unlimited supply of magic power, wizards can only rely on magic stones and mediums they carry with them to fight.

This is not only extremely inconvenient, but the external placement of the "weapons" also gives the enemy an opportunity to exploit the situation.

Correspondingly, the magical girl's body is the [medium], and the projection from beyond the magical realm is the [magic stone].

With an indestructible body and a projection that transcends space, magical girls have a significant advantage over wizards from the very beginning, not to mention the vast array of spells supported by 103,000 magic books.

This is the contract between the elves, and also a divine gift from the Demon Realm to humanity.

Ye Jingjing touched her bracelet, feeling the warmth of the soul fragment. With a thought, her body seemed to fall into a pool of water, all her senses in reality slid out, dissipated in the air, and then instantly condensed again.

After an indescribable sensory experience, she saw, touched, and felt her transformed body.

She lowered her head, and the exquisitely crafted black sailor uniform clung to her delicate skin. She ran her hand over it; it was just ordinary fabric, but this outfit was definitely something she wore after transforming into a magical girl—Ye Jingjing had never owned anything like it before.

This magically created garment, however, exuded no magical aura whatsoever; it was indistinguishable from ordinary clothes. It was as if she, a young girl, had naturally been wearing an adorable sailor uniform, a perfect fit for her.

If she doesn't use magic, other passersby would probably just see her as an ordinary girl.

Ye Jingjing's exploration and curiosity about magic are absolute. With her scientific spirit, she began to wonder why she had a sailor uniform after transforming.

If I take off my clothes... will my original clothes still be there when I turn back?

What if it changes back? Will it only change its physical form and not its clothes?
