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

"If you really become a magical girl, recruit me as your consultant. The job market is bad right now, and I might lose my job any day."

Tang Ming wiped his mouth and chuckled, "A simple word from me could get me into the Anti-Demon Department; it's a secure job."

Lin Ruoyu asked curiously, "The Anti-Magic Department is a government department, right...? Will they listen to magical girls?"

"Huh? Aren't these two families from the same group?"

Seeing that Tang Ming's expression didn't seem fake, and that he genuinely didn't understand magical girls or the workings of the Anti-Magic Department, Lin Ruoyu gave him a simple explanation.

"It shouldn't be. There are rumors online that in some cities, the two are even contradictory. You know about wizards, right?"

Tang Ming nodded. "Ordinary people who possess magic."

"Aside from the contracted magical girls outside of the Magical Realm, ordinary people cannot possess magic power or cast spells. To control the leaked magic power in the world, one can only rely on various mediums. Through these mediums that store magic power, and some unknown secret techniques, a select few have the opportunity to cast spells..."

"They are called wizards."

"You seem to know quite a bit about these things." Lin Ruoyu looked at him with some surprise.

"Even a three-year-old knows this kind of common knowledge. I'm not some old ghost from the mountains, I must know something about it." Tang Ming pursed his lips speechlessly, realizing that the other person was treating him like a child when they were explaining things to him.

"I won't go into detail about how the wizards are the main organization of the Demon Department, but did you know that the name 'wizard' was originally discriminatory?"

"I've heard a little about it; apparently, he originally wanted to call himself a magician..."

Lin Ruoyu nodded, "But magical girls look down on these things and can only use simple and inferior magic, which is difficult for even Void Beasts to resist... It is said that many years ago, there were special magicians who descended from the Outer Heaven of Magic."

"Perhaps also considering the similarity in names, these people can only call themselves wizards."

She sighed as she said this, "Actually, being a wizard is already a profession that countless people envy. Magic, well, that's a dream I had when I was a child."

"But I see a lot of attacks and insults online, and even dissatisfaction with the wizards' work efficiency... In the news just now, many reporters were criticizing the wizard teams' support efficiency."

Tang Ming recalled the scene on TV where a row of staff members bowed and apologized; many of them were official wizards.

"Yes... Many people use the praise of magical girls to belittle wizards, and these conflicts have been accumulating. However, the information on the internet is all over the place, and I don't know who is right and who is wrong."

Lin Ruoyu didn't delve any deeper into the conversation. As "an ordinary fan of magical girls," this was enough for her.

Thinking of this, her thoughts were also stirred. As a popular magical girl in Fangzhou City who had risen to the top four pages in a year, she was actually just a newcomer in this industry.

When she was an ordinary person, she would have all sorts of unrealistic fantasies and admiration for magical girls. Her fan image in front of Tang Ming was not fake, and the various merchandise she collected in the cabinet was also the result of her hard work over the years.

But after truly becoming a magical girl, she witnessed what she should have known: magical girls are nothing more than ordinary people blessed by the heavens.

Although elves have strict considerations regarding the purity of their origin, humans are still humans after all. The pressures and fatigue of reality never disappear. The dazzling appearance of magical girls is nothing more than a "cognitive mask" after transformation.

She should have realized long ago that there are countless idols online, and even without the terrifying magic of magical girls that can effectively resist the invasion of virtual beasts, these idols can still arouse fans' unrealistic fantasies, which are very dreamy and very incomprehensible.

She asked Li Shuang, the senior who had brought her into the profession, "Why is there such a huge conflict between wizards and magical girls? Aren't we all working hard to resist the Void Beasts?"

At that time, Sister Li Shuang did not answer her question. The other seniors who were still there had left Fangzhou City one by one. Some went to settle in other cities, and some probably went to the Demon Realm.

Later, she became independent and, through repeated battles and growth, she gradually understood the questions she had been asking, questions she couldn't answer... Finally, one day, she chose to form the magical girl duo music group Aurora with Sister Li Shuang.

She still chose the path of becoming an idol, a title she once despised and abandoned, hoping to alleviate conflicts between people in her own way...

Tang Ming quietly observed Lin Ruoyu without saying a word, because he saw that after his wife finished speaking, she silently lowered her head, staring blankly at the chopsticks in her hand, clearly lost in thought.

He didn't know what the other person was thinking. Although he had many guesses, including his doubts about Lin Ruoyu's identity, he realized after a few attempts to probe that he was worrying unnecessarily.

Lin Ruoyu was staring blankly at Tang Ming, who was resting his chin on his hand and gazing at her. It wasn't until Lin Ruoyu came to her senses and looked at Tang Ming in confusion that she realized he had been watching her the whole time, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

"Sorry... I suddenly spaced out, why didn't you remind me?" She rolled her eyes at him.

"Anyway, we've already finished eating, and I don't look hungry." Tang Ming looked away and stacked the empty bowls on the table. "What were you thinking about so intently?"

"Oh, I remember collecting magical girl merchandise when I was in school. Those badges were limited edition, and I was always online trying to snag them in seconds. Now that I'm working, I don't have time for all that stuff."

Lin Ruoyu smiled and lied without hesitation, her relaxed and relieved tone making it seem as if she had really been thinking about these things.

She took her bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen, where Tang Ming was already standing in front of the sink boiling water, preparing to wash the dishes.

"You leave it to me to wash."

"No need, it's just a few bowls. You can wrap the leftovers from outside in plastic wrap," Tang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile.

She looked at her husband apologetically. She had kept so many things from him, and he was still completely unaware. She wasn't always like this, acting without thinking. It was just that practice makes perfect. Her initial panic and confusion had turned her into the seasoned veteran she was today.

Girls are like that; for no apparent reason, they fall into depression about their aging.

Lin Ruoyu was no exception. She sighed inwardly that her heart was no longer naive and she was gradually becoming a middle-aged woman in the workplace... Then, feeling sentimental, she went to the living room, hugged a plush toy, and wiped away imaginary tears.

After cleaning up the stove, Tang Ming found that the leftover food in the restaurant was still there untouched. He glanced at Lin Ruoyu, who was already curled up in her plush toy, sighed, took out some plastic wrap, tidied it up himself, and put it in the refrigerator.

"I just told you to wrap it in cling film..." Tang Ming sat down on the side of the sofa, about two buttocks away from Lin Ruoyu.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry, I forgot." Lin Ruoyu suddenly raised her head and gave an embarrassed smile.

"You forgot already... Never mind, it's okay, I'm not blaming you."

Tang Ming didn't criticize her much. Lin Ruoyu was his wife, but not someone he could treat casually.

The two sat on the sofa for a long time, staring at the GG video playing on a loop on the TV screen. Finally, Tang Ming couldn't help but ask:

"What do we do next? Watch TV again?"
