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

"Oh? Miss Hoshino, could you elaborate?"

The minister stood up, walked to her desk, and casually leaned against it, showing no surprise at the magical girl's question.

"Besides the liaison officer, was our whereabouts leaked yesterday? Why did the [Newtypes] appear silently in the city center and set up a trap to ambush us?"

Xingyu didn't mince words and went straight to asking three questions.

Wu Shao, ever the friendly one, went to the bar next door and poured two cups of tea, without bothering the department head to do it himself. Now there were only three people left in the office, and thanks to the magic array, it was impossible for anyone outside to overhear their conversation.

"The Demon Department's operational capabilities and response speed have noticeably declined recently! Is the wizard squad's patrol of the core area really this careless? I won't even mention the suburbs dozens of kilometers away; just look at the number of Void Beast attacks in the city alone!"

Xingyu's face was as cold as ice as she stared sternly at Fang Chan, the highest leader of the Demon Extermination Department.

"Minister Fang! I don't want you to brush me off with an official statement. I need more than one explanation." After saying this, Xingyu took the teacup that Wushao handed her and waited quietly for the other party's reply.

"Miss Hoshino, you've come straight to the point, haven't you? Let's sit down and calm down."

A gentle smile appeared on Fang Chan's capable face, though a few laugh lines appeared on her cheeks. She gestured to the two guests, Xing Yu glanced at them, sighed, and sat down at one end of the sofa, while Wu Shao handed Fang Chan another cup of tea.

Fang Chan bowed slightly. "Thank you."

After the three of them were seated, Fang Chan finally spoke: "We had no idea about yesterday's accident. The two are magical girls, but the Anti-Magic Department is just an official department that maintains order in the city. Even the directly affiliated wizard team can only barely deal with goblin-level Void Beasts."

"You mean, everything is our own responsibility, and all the disasters have nothing to do with you?"

"That's not what I meant, but we really can't predict where or when the Void Beasts will appear."

Before Xingyu could refute, Wushao, who was sitting to the side, interrupted her, his usual frivolous and playful demeanor disappearing from his face.

"The Anti-Magic Department started an alien monitoring array three years ago. It was built by multiple magical girls, and I was there too."

"With the carpet-bombing patrol system and the expansion of wizard reserves, the team should arrive within five minutes of a disaster, but yesterday... no support came for a full twenty minutes."

"I don't believe those lunatics from the 'New Humans' could have set up a trap in a densely populated place without anyone noticing, especially since it happened while we were on our whim searching for traces of the aliens."

Wu Shao's words became increasingly serious, and her speaking speed increased. By the end, she leaned back on the sofa, relaxing completely, but her words remained sharp.

"Fang Chan, give me an explanation. Don't think you can get away with this just because Xingyu is young."

Xingyu secretly glared at Wushao, but she was also annoyed at being looked down upon by him.

"Uh, that's not what I meant." Fang Chan gave a French military salute and smiled helplessly. "Alright, these problems do exist, and it's not the first time. What exactly are you trying to say?"

"There's a mole in the Demon Department, or to put it more seriously, I suspect it's been completely infiltrated," Xingyu said.

"Miss Hoshino... this is a very serious accusation. As the head of the Anti-Demon Department, I can't ignore it. Who do you think infiltrated you?"

Fang Chan turned her gaze to Xing Yu and narrowed her eyes.

"Perhaps it's a new type of human, perhaps it's a force with ulterior motives, or perhaps it's yourselves," Xingyu said calmly, picking up her teacup. "They want to gain benefits beyond the safety of Fangzhou City."

"So you have no evidence or specific points of suspicion? And yet you're making accusations against the city's anti-magic department and hundreds of hardworking wizards?"

"Don't provoke us." Xingyu glanced at the other party, and Wushao also frowned, but did not interrupt.

Fang Chan quickly waved her hand, "You misunderstood, I didn't flirt with you..."

"I am asking you to conduct your own investigation, not questioning or requesting... You can take this as a threat, but if you cannot dispel our doubts quickly, we will choose our own methods."

Xingyu coldly interrupted the other person, and perhaps realizing her tone was inappropriate, she smiled and added, "As for the other wizards, don't even think about trying to sow discord. Our Aurora duo is very popular."

"It's hard to say whether they're close to bureaucrats who are calculating for their own interests or magical girls." Hoshino's faint smile faded, and she quietly watched as the other person's face gradually stiffened.

"Hoshino, don't say that... Minister Fang, she's only been in the industry for a year and she's already produced four pages of magical girls, please be understanding."

Wu Shao tried to smooth things over with a laugh, but her words and the cold way she addressed Fang Chan implied that she was absolutely on Xing Yu's side and would not accept any provocation.

Fang Chan realized what Xing Yu meant and no longer dared to "use her seniority" to evade the issue. As a department that cooperated with magical girls at all times, they did not know the true identities of the magical girls, but ordinary people would subconsciously mistake them for young girls because of their beautiful faces.

Of course, in reality, the girls chosen as magical girls are not very old, ranging from junior high school students to mature adults... randomly distributed.

However, based on Fang Chan's past experience, and considering the scandals that magical girls have had in recent years, many experienced adults subconsciously look down on them.

"They're just lucky little girls who got magic powers; they don't understand anything."

"Look at them, they're always having internal conflicts, using magic to fight each other to the death. They simply can't understand the cruelty and deceit of society."

"Ha! I heard there was a guy next door whose identity was exposed because of relationship problems."

"You look down on wizards? We've accumulated our resources step by step and studied hard to achieve this much, while they can kill virtual beasts with the blink of an eye. Of course we look down on them."

……

Such sarcastic or ironic remarks can appear in any professional field, and magical girls, as the darlings of divinely bestowed magic, are even more likely to become the "target of everyone's criticism" in this turbulent era of void invasion.

Many girls who possess magical powers but lack the mental maturity to face their extraordinary identities have encountered the Demon Department quite often.

Therefore, even though magical girls can unleash terrifying spells with just a few gestures, Fang Chan still subconsciously underestimates them.

Of course, as a "veteran" with several years of experience, Wushao certainly wouldn't dare to underestimate her.

Now, Fang Chan's gaze was fixed intently on Xing Yu.

She had met them a few times before, but they didn't like having too much contact with the Anti-Demon Department, and she knew very little about them.

Under the opponent's seemingly calm yet sharp "threat," she finally had to take this strongest magical girl in Fangzhou City seriously.
