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

"What did you say?" Tang Ming looked at Lin Ruoyu in confusion.

"I was saying... how about we go and visit your workplace? I'm quite curious." Lin Ruoyu rolled her eyes at him, turned around, turned off the range hood, and poured the food out of the pot.

"That's too much trouble, and it's too far away." Tang Ming had considered explaining that his company had laid off employees and closed its factory, and that he had switched to working for an insurance company. But explaining it now... he felt a little awkward, and subconsciously kept it a secret.

"Work is busy, and the office is full of men, so it's inconvenient for you to go there, plus it's in a remote area..."

Lin Ruoyu sighed, pouting slightly in dissatisfaction. She didn't ask any more questions, at least she already knew that the other party was hiding something from her.

"Fine, if you don't want me to go, then I won't go."

Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Ruoyu cleaned all the unused pots and pans and then started wiping the stove and range hood.

"Let's go eat first, it'll get cold later," Tang Ming advised, unsure of the other person's mood.

"You have to clean it up right after you finish cooking, otherwise the oil stains will be cold by the time you finish eating, and who wants to move after they're full?"

Lin Ruoyu glanced at him, her lips curving into a slight smile. "You probably lack life experience."

After Lin Ruoyu cleaned the kitchen, the two sat down at the dining table to enjoy a simple yet exquisite dinner.

"You're the same age as me, but you already seem to have a mature sense of managing a household," Tang Ming said with a smile.

"Are you starting to think I'm getting old?"

"No... I just find it interesting. You haven't been away from university for more than a few years, yet you already seem to be able to handle both formal and domestic duties. Did you secretly go to train as a bride?" Tang Ming teased.

"What are you thinking! We've been married for three years, are you still acting like a student?"

Lin Ruoyu looked at the other person with an ambiguous expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't you like this kind of domestic style?"

Tang Ming looked somewhat surprised and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Lin Ruoyu seemed a bit casual today, whereas the two of them rarely joked around before.

"Are you in a good mood today?" he asked tentatively.

"Hehe...not bad." Lin Ruoyu lowered her head again.

Tang Ming was somewhat confused, but he had a guilty conscience, so he didn't ask any more questions and lowered his head to chew the food in his bowl.

"Did you know that a void disaster seems to have occurred in the city today?" After a while, Tang Ming looked up.

Lin Ruoyu was somewhat bewildered: "Huh? Did it happen again? How many people died?"

Tang Ming took the remote control, turned on the TV, and secretly glanced at the other person's expression, feeling somewhat relieved.

"I saw it on my phone after get off work; it seems to be quite a big deal."

Because it was lunchtime, the TV station was broadcasting the Void Disaster that had occurred that afternoon. The scene of the chaotic scene shifted to the press conference of the Anti-Demon Department, where the minister bowed deeply three times, and countless flashes of light shone on the face of this mature and capable minister of the Anti-Demon Department.

"Regarding the major void disaster that occurred today in Huanan District, Fangzhou City, I would like to express my deepest apologies on behalf of the Demon Department and the official authorities. I am very sorry that we failed to take proper evacuation and response measures when the disaster occurred, causing huge losses..."

The minister repeatedly apologized to the victims' families and all the affected businesses, outlining subsequent recovery measures. Her expression was very somber; clearly, she felt immense pressure from the losses caused by this disaster.

Under the barrage of questions from numerous reporters, the minister responded methodically. Even under some harsh and excessive criticism, a hint of sadness appeared on his capable face, and his voice choked with emotion and self-reproach.

The entire speech ended with the demon department dodging the issue, and the news footage returned to the disaster site in the urban village. Countless old houses were either collapsed or had pieces of them sheared off out of thin air, and the roads were corroded with pits by the "air tremors".

More than a dozen ambulances stood guard at the street intersection, several wizard teams intervened at the core of the airquake, several magic circles lit up to obscure the view of the cameras, and countless secret magical instruments were transported into the incident site.

"It looks... really serious. They haven't even announced how many people have died yet." Lin Ruoyu was a little downcast, her chopsticks holding rice hovering in mid-air.

"The food is gone," Tang Ming reminded him.

"Oh." Lin Ruoyu quickly picked up the rice grains that had fallen onto the table with her hand and put them in her mouth.

"You weren't in that area today, were you? This is truly an undeserved disaster." Tang Ming frowned, still somewhat frightened.

"Fortunately, I'm lucky; my company has never been affected by the void..."

"Your favorite magical girl, isn't her name Hoshino? I heard she was seriously injured this time. Will Fangzhou City still be as safe as before?"

Tang Ming and Lin Ruoyu exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads with a sigh.

"It'll be fine. Hoshino is the strongest magical girl in our city. She's survived so many dangers before, so it's definitely not going to happen this time either."

Lin Ruoyu spoke with great certainty, even clenching her fist and waving it in the air to cheer on the magical girl.

"You really do like magical girls..." Tang Ming smiled as he watched his wife's somewhat childish actions.

"Without magical girls, I don't know how many times I would have died at the hands of the Void Beasts. Not only Hoshino and the four magical girls now, but also countless magical girl seniors over the past eight years have fought to resist the invasion of the Void Beasts."

"Sigh, if only I could be chosen by the elves and become a magical girl." Lin Ruoyu sincerely clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Tang Ming secretly observed this and then laughed heartily.

"Don't the elves have an age requirement for magical girls? Aren't they supposed to be young girls? Hahaha!"

Lin Ruoyu raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely.

"Am I not a teenager?!"

"It's all right." Tang Ming felt relieved and somewhat pleased, and started joking and laughing with Lin Ruoyu.

The other person's emotions don't seem faked, so my initial guess is... that the other person probably doesn't have much to do with magical girls.

"Don't be so dismissive... I'm only 25, do you think I'm old?"

Lin Ruoyu had no idea that Tang Ming's smiling demeanor concealed various speculations; she simply demanded an answer from him as soon as possible.

"Speak quickly~~"

"I'm not old, I'm still young. If you're old, then I'll be in my grave."

Tang Ming waved his hand, knowing that if he didn't coax her soon, Lin Ruoyu would slap him across the face in the next second.

Lin Ruoyu grumbled and withdrew her threatening right hand.

"Speaking of which..." she murmured, watching the magical girl battle scenes on the TV.

"If I could become a magical girl... wouldn't I be able to stay young forever? They all look so young."

"If you become a magical girl, and we stand together a few years later, won't the police mistake us for pedophiles?" Tang Ming suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"Then let the police arrest you, and I'll find someone else!"

Lin Ruoyu extended her thumb, scratched her chin, and threatened fiercely.
