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

Xingyu's essence was severely damaged, and even her costume could not display its best form. However, it was not used for combat; it was enough to purify the foreign substances in the wizard's body.

She approached the two people lying on the bed, and the dazzling golden light pierced them, completely obscuring the green magical light in Wushao's hand.

The two wizards struggled to open their eyes, their pupils filled with tears of pain. Upon seeing her formal attire, they revealed a barely perceptible emotion. Xingyu's perception was amplified, and she instantly caught this fleeting emotion.

It is fear.

Why are you afraid of me? My costume is holy magic. I am here to heal the corrupting influence on you. Why are you afraid the moment you open your eyes?

Upon seeing this, the others, aside from their initial astonishment, silently bathed in the afterglow of the magical projection, feeling the pure magical power. The two who initially reacted strangely quickly suppressed their emotions, instead displaying relaxed expressions.

However, this emotion was too obvious among the crowd. She silently noted it down and did not stop purifying. Her costume was already activated, so she prioritized completing her work.

Xingyu didn't need to release any spells. After getting close to the two, the projection around him spread to the wizard's skin pores and seeped into his internal organs. The restless alien matter twisted and turned, but still dissipated into ash and was absorbed by Xingyu.

As the light faded, Xingyu removed her [formal attire]. Her gorgeous dress disappeared, and the head ornaments vanished with the light, revealing a simpler yellow knee-length skirt that made her appear more approachable and adorable.

The magic book materialized once more, appearing before him before vanishing.

Xingyu silently estimated that this transformation alone had consumed more than half of her magic power, and she would not be able to use it again for two days, and could only wait for the magic power to regenerate.

Wushao carefully examined the wounded man's condition again, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded admiringly at Xingyu.

Xingyu smiled slightly, but the doubts in her heart prevented her from being purely happy about the successful treatment.

All the wizards around them applauded, thanking the magical girl for her help. After a brief greeting, they ended their morning's activities and prepared to leave.

There was a little incident along the way. Some wizard was so infatuated with Xingyu that he couldn't help but come up and invite her to dinner. Seeing his awkward posture, Xingyu understood. The people around her didn't expect their teammate to be so impulsive. After their eyes widened, they covered their mouths and chuckled.

Hoshino, of course, wouldn't go on a date with him, but she was used to this kind of situation. It's quite reasonable for many men to be attracted to beautiful and powerful magical girls.

She repeatedly apologized, saying she had other plans, and declined the wizard's invitation.

After flying some distance away from the Demon Exorcist's Guild, Wushao leaned closer and touched Xingyu's shoulder in mid-air, the yellow and green lights swaying together.

"Were you preoccupied just now?"

"The foreign substance in those two people's bodies did not come from the invading virtual beasts yesterday."

"I know that. I said it during the treatment. It's so difficult to deal with... it must be a highly purified heterogeneous substance," Wu Shao said dismissively.

"I think this might come from the void..." she quickly added, fearing that Wushao might not understand.

"Such purified heterogeneous matter may only exist in the Voidquake Land. I fell into the Voidquake Land yesterday, although I only fell into the gray-robed man's illusion and did not truly experience the mysteries of the Voidquake Land."

"But they taste a lot like the people there."

"You mean those so-called new humans, those charlatans?" Wu Shao frowned.

"Most importantly, when I approached them with my formal attire unfolded, there was a fleeting look of fear in their eyes, an emotion that no one else around us had shown."

"They could be the same group that attacked you yesterday... or even spies planted by the Newtypes?!" Wu Zhao's casual tone turned serious.

"It's possible that the Demon Division is entirely their doing, which would explain everything before." Xingyu sighed, a hint of weariness in her soft voice.

She didn't know the details from Tang Ming's side yet, and she also needed to worry about the Demon Department. She wanted to tell herself not to think so much.

Many magical girls only need to stroll around, sample various delicacies, and when the Void Beasts appear, they can step in to right the situation and decisively defeat the enemy. The other human conflicts are completely irrelevant to them.

But she couldn't help but think about these things. She couldn't be as indifferent as Gun Red, nor could she be as oblivious as Kaoru.

She always wanted to think things through more, not wanting to be pushed around by others without understanding why so many magical girls had been unwittingly drawn into the struggle and ruined themselves.

Moreover, so many people disappeared during the "Crimson Catastrophe" that Wu Shao mentioned... She herself was at the scene of that catastrophe that day, inside the Sky Tower.

As an innocent ordinary person caught in the crossfire, she was sent to the hospital and lost many memories of that day. Perhaps it was fate, but less than a month after being discharged from the hospital, she was found by the spirit Yui.

The other party appeared out of thin air before her, then flapped its wings, gently landed on her hand, tilted its head, and asked:

"Do you want to become a magical girl?"

……

Hoshino and Uso returned silently to their base, Kaoru's Secret Garden.

Stepping into the small villa, neither of the other two were home. Gun Red had gone to class and usually wouldn't come over at noon. Xun wasn't there either... Xingyu saw the porcelain cup on the small table, touched it with the back of her hand, and felt that it was still slightly warm.

Presumably, the other person had just left for something, so the two of them deactivated their transformations and prepared to wait for Hoshino Kaoru to return so they could discuss what had happened earlier.

"Are you tired?"

Seeing Xingyu curled up on the sofa with her eyes closed, Wushao felt a pang of heartache.

"I'm tired, but I don't regret it... Magical girls enjoy the abilities that countless people dream of, and many people even go 'mad' because of it. What right do I have to complain?"

Wu Shao frowned, and after hearing Xing Yu finish speaking, she retorted unhappily, "You always try to convince yourself with grand principles like this. What I want to know is your emotions and feelings, not your rational weighing of pros and cons..."

"Always like this... You don't look like a 25-year-old woman at all, you look older than me, humph!" Li Shuang rested her head on Lin Ruoyu's shoulder and shook her head in dissatisfaction.

Lin Ruoyu frowned, too lazy to refute, and reached out to pull out the hairpin that was poking the other person's head all the way to her arm, and placed it on the table next to her.

She let Li Shuang's long, black, silky waves drape over her body, then continued to close her eyes and rest, recovering from the depletion of her vital essence.

……

"This hotel's assets are indeed very good; its valuation should be among the highest in our company."

Tang Ming stood beside the boss and spoke sincerely.

"Can we get an evaluation right now?" the elderly boss next to me asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be able to give an assessment after I've examined the risk situation on all the floors."
