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

"Hehehe! Today's battle was really fun! It's a pity the enemy sent a large force, otherwise I would have killed that magical girl with the gun on the spot."

"Don't get cocky... You couldn't hold on when they added another magical girl. If you didn't run now, you'd really die here."

Hua Lingyou glanced at Xiao Zhang, whose appearance was quite unsightly, and moved to the side with some disdain.

This guy lived up to his name, with an arrogant look on his face.

Wearing sunglasses, the two sat in front of an ice cream shop far from the disaster site, leaning against a chair under an umbrella on the street and watching the heavy rain fall from the sky.

Passersby gave the two people strange looks. It was late afternoon and the sun was setting, and it was raining heavily. They were wearing sunglasses to enjoy the rain, and no one knew what they were doing.

"Do you think that kid Tang Ming will come out alive?" Xiao Zhang chewed on the straw he was holding in his mouth, the drink in the bottle slurping up and down.

"He's older than you, can you stop being so disrespectful?" Hua Lingyou kicked his chair.

"Okay... will Tang Ming make it out alive?"

"I don't know. This operation was too sudden. I didn't expect the boss to create such a huge bubble. Falling into a trap to capture a magical girl, can we really escape?"

Hua Lingyou's tone was full of uncertainty. She recalled the scenes of Tang Ming taking the younger generation on trips over the past few weeks, and she realized that Tang Ming had left a very good impression on her.

If she really dies this time, she'll be sad for a few days, but at least this time next year, she'll definitely go to the cemetery to pay her respects...

"I think he'll definitely get out!"

To Hua Lingyou's surprise, although Xiao Zhang didn't take Tang Ming seriously in his words, he believed in Tang Ming almost unconditionally, including his initial investigation and interest in his identity.

"Like you're schizophrenic... acting like you have a really good relationship with him, trusting him that much," Hua Lingyou said sarcastically, pursing her lips.

"What does this have to do with us? With the same purple body as that powerful figure, I don't believe we'll fall at such a small beginning."

Xiao Zhang sipped the drink in his cup in one gulp, slammed it down with a loud "thud," and looked down at Hua Lingyou with an ambiguous expression.

"Besides, what kind of traps could those people set? You don't really think Xingyu will be killed, do you?"

"Oh? This is an operation organized by the boss. Don't you trust the boss's abilities?" Hua Lingyou frowned.

"Stop with the literary inquisition nonsense. I have absolute trust in the boss... but the boss doesn't necessarily have to kill Xingyu, otherwise he could have come in person instead of directing from another place."

Xiao Zhang ignored Hua Lingyou's silence, and continued, holding the back of his head:

"Besides, there's never been a precedent of a magical girl being killed, let alone the strongest magical girl in Fangzhou City."

"No way! So many people have been successfully ambushed and killed over the years..." Hua Lingyou retorted subconsciously, but was immediately interrupted by Xiao Zhang.

"That's because the original body was killed."

"No magical girl has ever died while transforming into a magical girl... You've noticed, haven't you? Those were all cases where the original form was killed, or the identity was exposed, and there wasn't enough time to transform, so the transformation was induced to be canceled, or something like that."

"In all these years... I have never seen those girls get killed in the battles where they received magical projections and became magical girls."

"There weren't even any severed limbs, it made me wonder if there's some kind of censorship system for anime these days..."

Xiao Zhang's untimely joke failed to amuse Hua Lingyou, and she silently pondered his words.

She hadn't really thought about this issue before, but after Xiao Zhang pointed it out, she realized that almost none of the so-called magical girl deaths in recent years occurred after they had transformed.

"So... Xingyu won't die, and Tang Ming might have a better chance of survival." Hua Lingyou rested her chin on her hand, looking unhappily at the wet stone brick ground in front of her.

"Aren't you afraid that the magical girl will kill Tang Ming? Void beasts and magical girls are natural enemies."

"As a senior, how can you distrust your apprentice so little...? He might just call you."

Hua Ling scoffed and ignored the other person's nonsense.

Ring! The pleasant ringtone of the phone rang, playing a song by the group Aurora. Hua Lingyou took out her phone, glanced at Xiao Zhang strangely, and put it to her ear.

"Feed?"

"You're just going to abandon me like this... Senior?" A cold voice came from the receiver.

"No, we barely escaped from the magical girl and have been waiting for your news outside. Xiao Zhang is with me too."

Hua Lingyou stuck out her tongue.

The other person's voice was silent for a moment, then it came through again.

"You seniors planned this trap to lure magical girls from the very beginning, didn't you? I've already fallen into it..."

"Tang Ming, you really found out... Then you also understand that you haven't been in the organization for long, so these plans are definitely not easy to tell you."

Hua Lingyou's tone became slightly serious, and she sounded apologetic at the end of her sentence.

"So what do we do next? What else do we need to do?" Tang Ming asked, holding a safe in one hand and his phone in the other, staring at the two people wearing sunglasses in the distance.

"How about... we celebrate your safe return? I was just talking to Xiao Zhang about how likely you were to come back?"

Xiao Zhang leaned closer, his mouth close to the phone, and said, "I always believed you could come out alive, but your senior is hesitant."

Hua Lingyou glared at him fiercely with her bright eyes, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off him.

"No, Tang Ming..."

"How are you going to celebrate for me?" Tang Ming interrupted Hua Lingyou.

Hua Lingyou and Xiao Zhang looked up in surprise; the voice they had just heard hadn't come from the earpiece...

They turned around and were shocked to see Tang Ming standing behind them, his suit jacket soaked through at the shoulder. He put down his phone, glanced at them indifferently, and sat down opposite them.

"Hey Tang Ming, how did you know we were here? How was your experience in the Land of Skyquakes?"

Tang Ming skipped the first question and replied, "It was alright. Apart from almost being killed by Xing Yu and a bunch of weirdo 'New Humans,' it was quite an interesting trip."

Hua Lingyou sensed the other party's strange tone, smiled and called over the waiter to order an extra cup of hot tea for Tang Ming.

"Don't be angry. You've gained a lot from this experience. And let me clarify, I didn't initially intend for you to be the bait, but I didn't know the specifics of those charlatans' plans. We split up, and you just happened to run into them..."

Under Tang Ming's gaze, Hua Lingyou's voice grew softer and softer, realizing that her reason was unlikely to convince him.

"How do you feel about those charlatans?" Xiao Zhang asked with great interest.

"I'm not sure. I couldn't beat Xingyu head-on, but there was a gray-robed man who was very powerful. He initially created an illusion that trapped Xingyu and me, but we eventually broke through the illusion by chance and entered the so-called Void Tremor Land."

Tang Ming briefly recounted what happened after he entered the bubble, and he didn't dwell on the two people's escape.

He's an adult who's been working for a few years, so he understands these things clearly.

I'm just a newbie and haven't fully gained the other person's trust. Besides, it's pointless for the other person to wait foolishly outside the bubble. The fact that the senior was able to apologize to me so kindly is already quite a show of respect.

Ultimately, he had no choice; he needed to rely on the organization to obtain more.
