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

"Miss Xingyu, I apologize again." Fang Chan stood up and bowed deeply.

"Since the magical girl has made a request, we will, in principle, fully cooperate with the Ministry of Demons..."

Hearing this, Xingyu frowned again, thinking that the other party was still giving official answers, but to her surprise, the other party gave a smooth reply to each question.

"We are already investigating the duty roster from yesterday and the person in charge of the local patrol. We will inform you of the details once the results are available."

"Those who have handled the secret investigation of the Void Anomaly will be listed, but please do not disclose it to others."

"As for the numerous disasters and inefficient response measures during this period... that's also a headache for me."

At this point, Fang Chan clenched her fist and pounded her temples; this matter had kept her up at night for many days.

Only then, upon closer inspection, did Xingyu notice the other person's pale face and dark circles under their heavy makeup.

"Okay... I'll just wait here for Minister Fang's results. As for the response measures..." Xingyu's tone softened slightly.

"This is also a tricky matter that I wanted to ask you, the magical girl, for help with."

Fang Chan turned her gaze to Wu Shao and said with some helplessness, "Since the bloody disaster in September two years ago, many key figures and magical girls in Fangzhou City have disappeared. Perhaps due to the influence of unknown wide-area magic, our records of information from that period are unclear, and even our memories are fragmented..."

Mentioning the "Crimson Calamity," Wu Shao's expression also turned solemn. During that time, she was not in Fangzhou City, but had gone on a business trip and vacation to other cities. After returning, many magical girls had disappeared, and many wizards from the Anti-Magic Department had also vanished because of this calamity.

To be precise, apart from the eight magical girls who were guarding Fangzhou City at the time and were not in the city, all of them disappeared!

When she returned, she couldn't contact a single magical girl in the entire city—these were all her very familiar teammates!

When Fang Chan arrived at the Anti-Demon Department, she was also completely bewildered. None of the wizards who participated in the operation escaped... What chilled her to the bone the most was that their memories of the incident were becoming increasingly hazy. As a magical girl, she still retained a trace of awareness, but the other ordinary people who had come into contact with the incident had almost completely forgotten about it.

In a moment of crisis, she recalled Hoshino Kaoru, who had returned to her hometown and was then a newcomer.

Afterwards, he and the spirit Yui hurriedly recruited a new seedling, namely Hoshino.

However, the three of them were still a drop in the ocean for Fangzhou, which was already a huge city, so they had to add a new magical girl named Gun Red within half a year.

It was only with four people working around the clock every day that the city's stability was barely maintained.

Thus, Wushao was forced to take on the responsibility and become the "elder sister" of the magical girls in Fangzhou City.

Even now, she doesn't have any particular feelings about the disaster a year ago, as if it were something far removed from her, even though she carefully records her thoughts and has files on the Demon Department.

But the unknown magic has indeed been affecting everyone invisibly.

"For a period of time after the disaster, no new void disasters occurred in the city, and air tremors also decreased significantly over the next few months..."

Wu Shao was pulled back to her memories by Fang Chan's words, "But after all, the entire defense system had a fatal flaw, and as time went on, it was no longer able to deal with the Demon Department."

"The mole you mentioned..." Xingyu heard Fang Chan mention him.

"As the minister, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the ministry, I have to delegate responsibilities to others. With the renewal of the wizarding team, how many people with ulterior motives are there... I don't know either."

Hoshino had only been a magical girl for a year and was not familiar with the background of the "Crimson Calamity," so Uso didn't mention it much.

Hearing the other party admit to the possible loopholes within the Demon Department, and seeing Fang Chan's helpless attitude, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Fang Chan continued, "Yesterday's air tremor was indeed severe; our Fangzhou City's magical girls almost suffered heavy losses."

"But I still feel... this isn't a meticulously planned, multi-layered trap."

"But the result is really a coincidence..." Xingyu squinted as she looked at the other person.

"Judging from the results, that is indeed the case. However, this air tremor incident not only resulted in the appearance of Void Beast No. 3, No. 4, and more than a dozen Goblin-level Void Beasts, but also the alternate dimension that surrounded and killed Miss Xingyu."

"According to your report, there are also more than several dozen members of a [New Human] organization inside. This is a terrorist organization from a city thousands of miles to the north..."

"If so many different races and factions can unite and work together to resist... can you believe it? Or can you accept such an outcome?"

Fang Chan's voice grew heavier as she spoke, "If that were the case, Fangzhou City would have collapsed long ago."

Indeed, as she said, if so many forces unite to intercept and kill magical girls, and the authorities are completely unaware of these foreign organizations, then there is no way to defend against them, and they will be shattered.

Conspiracy theories are acceptable, but they may not be able to accept the outcome of such a "conspiracy".

"You're right. If that's the case, let alone finding the mole, we'd have to do a thorough search." Wu Shao pinched her long hair, stroking it back and forth in frustration. "We'd probably be silenced by now."

Xingyu looked at her with some confusion, then met her gaze and said firmly, "It's okay. Didn't I escape unscathed from an ambush by dozens of people? If I see them again, I won't let them go."

"Of course I believe in the strength of magical girls. In all these years, I have never seen a magical girl be inferior to her enemy in magic." Fang Chan nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her mature face. She did not refute the other party's declaration.

"However, defeating magical girls mostly doesn't rely on combat; danger is everywhere... I still hope you'll be extra careful during this time. I won't even suggest you stay in a heavily guarded safe fortress; you wouldn't trust us anyway."

She smiled gently. Xingyu was a little embarrassed by her direct pointing out the suspicion between them, while Wushao leaned back on the soft sofa, sipping her fine tea.

"You should try to work together as much as possible, and remember to keep everything confidential... By the way, should I call your contact person over now?"

"I trust Wang Shan. I'll go talk to her later, so you don't need to worry about it." Xingyu knew the other party wanted to dispel her doubts, but she still refused.

Wang Shan is their liaison in cooperating with the Anti-Demon Department. The liaison must maintain constant contact with the magical girls in order to share information about the disaster and the magical girls as soon as possible. In turn, the magical girls will provide their judgments to the Anti-Demon Department.

Due to their immense power, magical girls can observe far more information than wizards and ordinary people, making the data they obtain an invaluable asset to the Anti-Magic Department.

The Anti-Magic Department represents the official government, has funding, and a large workforce, enabling it to provide more comprehensive support for the magical girls' city operations.

The best way to cooperate is perhaps like this: complementing and helping each other while retaining their independence.

But this isn't the case in many places...
