As a villain, what's wrong with raising a few magical girls?

[Although I know that magical girls exist, it's already unreasonable, but if I experience it myself, it's still a bit outrageous. 】

Muttering secretly in her heart, Luo Shiyin looked up at the magical girl posters around her, silently gave up the idea of picking them up and throwing them away, and prepared to pile them up where they would not get in the way.

"Anyway... now I want to take a look at this so-called weirdo."

At the same time, Sanyelian, who had just run out of the laboratory, closed the door as quickly as possible and completely isolated the room with excessive levels of magical girls. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief as if she had escaped from the tentacle monster's pursuit.

But just when the girl lay back on the sofa, ready to play a game for a while to calm her mind, Wansui suddenly approached silently and informed her that there was a monster fluctuation in the suburbs. He was going to take Luo Shiyin out to go through the process and asked if she wanted to join in.

"Just follow the procedures... It's such a fun thing, of course I have to go along!"

I don’t know what he thought of, but Sanyelian, who had been lying on the sofa like a salted fish, suddenly stood up, his eyes full of expectation:

“When that little girl is scared to the point of tears, I will definitely take a picture with a perfect angle, and then let her call me senior~”

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind, causing the pink-haired hot girl who was still imagining the future to freeze suddenly.

As if it was an old instrument that had not been oiled for a long time, Sanyelian turned her head mechanically, and then saw a loli with long black hair who had come behind the sofa at some point and was squinting at her.

"Senior! Please listen to me, please listen to my explanation! That's not what I meant!"

Seeing the door behind the other party open, as if ready to swallow her in for some "research" in the laboratory, and the meaningful look of a certain black-haired loli, the pink-haired hottie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

But just as she was racking her brains to think of a reasonable excuse, a furry, oval-shaped, snow-white ball with a pair of pointed animal ears on its head suddenly appeared from the door of the laboratory, and then jumped to the feet of a loli with long black hair.

"Weirdo? You made it so quickly?"

I don’t know how the identity of the little thing was confirmed, but for the first time, Wansui’s numb dead face showed a look of surprise - although it was only for a brief moment.

"It's not my doing. The previous director of the institute had already completed the manufacturing of this little guy. I just went over to activate it."

Without any intention of claiming credit, Luo Shiyin casually explained the origin of this little thing.

Hearing this, Sanyelian finally seized the opportunity and couldn't wait to change the subject:

"So, you should have named this little thing, right? What's its name? It looks as cute as you."

Although I really want to tell that girl that it is very bad behavior to use the adjective "cute" when addressing "senior".

But seeing how she was trying to change the subject, Luo Shiyin didn't have the heart to interrupt her and decided to let her act for a while longer - it would be better to expose her at the end:

"Plush is all in danger and half hung."

"Uh... OK, OK, what a magical name, worthy of being a senior."

Her expression became stiff again. Sanye Lian reviewed her academic career and searched every brain cell, but could only utter three words "good" - because she found that in front of such a name, no matter what form of praise, it would eventually turn into a complaint.

She now even suspected that there was a magic circle hidden in the laboratory full of magical girl posters, and anyone who stayed in it for a long time would have their thinking affected or something.

With a complicated expression, he looked down at the little thing standing quietly? Lying? Sitting... Anyway, it was quietly staying at the feet of the black long straight loli. Its body was only the size of two basketballs, like a cute little thing that looked like a spirit pillow. Sanye Lian hesitated for a full half a minute, but couldn't help but ask:

"Um... can I ask why you chose this name, Senior? I feel like a name like Bai Rong would be cuter?"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin fell into silence for a moment, and then spoke softly after a moment:

"After I activated this little thing, I got its various data. If the physical data of an ordinary adult is 1, then the power of this little thing... is 13. The effect it has on a person is definitely no worse than that of a real dump truck."

In addition, this little thing has a talent similar to a superpower - it can cast a random curse on any dead or living object. The former will take effect on the first living creature that touches it, and the latter will take effect on the spot.

The strongest effect is that it can make people grow cat ears, and their living habits become closer to those of real cats. The weakest effect... drinking cold water will cause food to get stuck in your teeth.

However, the reason why she didn't say this, besides the fact that this ability is really useless, there is a more important reason.

That is, after she successfully activated this little thing, she suddenly gained related abilities, and her strength began to increase slowly but obviously. In just a few minutes of walking from the laboratory to here, she had reached the level of a healthy adult.

This kind of situation will directly affect yourself, so it is best to keep it secret for the time being.

Of course, this doesn't mean she doesn't trust others.

Although it was a bit strange to describe a group of members of an evil organization like this, and although they had only spent less than an hour together since they met, Luo Shiyin could see that all the colleagues around her, including the boss, were good people.

But precisely because they are all good people, for something like this which is extremely likely to involve huge changes in interests and attract the attention of interested people, it is better to wait until you have studied it thoroughly before confessing to them.

Thinking of this, Luo Shiyin withdrew her gaze from the furry creature and turned her head to the middle-aged man with dead fish eyes beside her, but her eyes continued to stay on a certain pink-haired creature:

"When are we going to set off? I'm a little curious about what that monster that scared me to tears looks like."

Chapter 6 - I'll be back for the meeting soon

The green bus with the hospital advertisement printed on its side runs smoothly on the cement road, passing through the streets lined with high-rise buildings and three-story shops.

The incessant chirping of cicadas in the roadside trees was clamoring against the scorching summer heat. Apart from this bus, there was no sign of any private cars on the four-lane road.

Sitting in the back seat by the window, Luo Shiyin leaned back with her head tilted. From a perspective that was only half a head above the bottom of the car window, she stared at the edge of the sidewalk where no cars were parked at all, and the coin-operated beverage machines that appeared from time to time, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Because she had suddenly encountered the matter of traveling through time and becoming a girl, she just confirmed that she was still in the modern era, and then ran to deal with work problems without delving into the specific era. But now it seems...

"Girl."

"Um, s-sir, what can I do for you?"

Hearing the sudden voice behind him, Sanyelian, who was petting the furry ball on his knees as if it were a cat, froze. After quickly making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately turned his head, put on an ingratiating smile, and asked in a low voice.

Luo Shiyin had no opinion on this, but asked casually:

"Does our company have its own car? If there is an emergency in the future, we won't have to take the bus so leisurely, right?"

"A car? Sister Mutang had said she wanted to buy one before, but we discussed it in a meeting later and felt that it would be too conspicuous. Every time we go out, it will attract a lot of attention. And if we really encounter any emergency, it will be more convenient to run."

"……Too."

The corner of her eye twitched involuntarily, but when she thought of a certain furry ball's 13-point mud truck-level strength, she nodded silently.

At the same time, she also had some guesses about the social background of this world - a completely unscientific way of stitching together the times.

Although we have the ability to build all-glass high-rise buildings, the main buildings in the urban area are still three-story houses; buses are equipped with air conditioners, but private cars are high-end luxury goods; large modern commercial areas have emerged, but coin-operated beverage machines have not been eliminated.

It is as if there is an invisible giant hand that is suppressing social development at a level that is neither high nor low. Only a few technologies can struggle to poke their heads out from between their fingers and develop to a level that is 10 to 20 years ahead of their time.

But this is not entirely a bad thing. At least my monthly salary of 50,000 is more valuable than I imagined.

The road from the city center to the suburbs was not short. It took three hours for the three of them to get off at a lonely bus stop beside a dirt road, and then they walked for another half an hour.

It was not until they came to a large undeveloped forest that the middle-aged man with dead fish eyes who was leading the way stopped.

"arrive."

Saying these two words in a bland voice, Wansui took out the pack of crumpled cigarettes from his pocket, took out the last one and lit it with a match.

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin immediately swayed to a nearby wooden stake and sat down, tapping her legs which were already so sore that she could not feel them:

"I think I still need to have a car ready. No matter how much attention it draws, it's better than being unable to get out of bed the next day."

"Hmm? Senior, your...physique is so poor?"

Hearing this, Sanyelian, who was holding the furry creature in her arms, was stunned and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

In response to this, a certain black long straight loli answered confidently:

"What kind of physique do researchers need? It's enough that they don't catch a cold when using air conditioning."

"You can't say that."

Just as Sanyelian showed a speechless look on his face and was about to complain a few words, a smiling female voice suddenly sounded from the woods.

Then, a tall woman wearing a white vest and a brown leather jacket, with long wavy golden hair reflecting the sunlight, walked out from the shade of the trees, with a mysterious smile on her beautiful face:

"Research also requires physical support, especially since there are only four of us, and now there are five of us. In the future, every team-building activity may require your weirdo to support the scene, new little sister~"

Hearing the other party's deliberately drawn-out voice and the tone that sounded like coaxing a child, a vein suddenly popped out on Luo Shiyin's forehead.

But before she could open her mouth to fight back, Wansui, who was smoking, suddenly interrupted:

"Xylitol, where's the monster?"

"It's inside. It will appear in about three minutes. However, the negative fluctuation this time is not big. It will attract only one person at most."

The blonde woman called Xylitol gathered her long hair around her ears, tilted her head, and tilted her chin slightly towards the woods:

"But it's enough to go through the process for the newcomers."

"What exactly is that process you're talking about?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Luo Shiyin, who was sitting on a tree stump to rest, couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xylitol's eyes:

"Oh? Didn't the boss tell you? I thought every time a new person came, he would just throw out a bunch of things."

[Perhaps... He was frightened by me? ]

Recalling the inexplicably cautious attitude of the huge armor in the office, Luo Shiyin couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"That's why I asked you to ask all the questions you wanted to ask."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Bansui glanced at the black-haired loli sitting on the wooden stake, who looked like a large puppet:

"Did the boss tell you that we need to compete with the magical girl for the right to kill monsters?"

"Said."

"After a monster is defeated, it will condense a special energy crystal. It is an important material that only people like us can use. For example, it can be used to create monsters for you, and magical girls also need this crystal to strengthen themselves."

"So, we hinder magical girls in order to improve ourselves?"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows - just from this point of view, they do have a subtle villain quality.

However, in response to her question, Wansui just glanced at her blankly:

"If that's what you think, think so."

"Okay, that's enough small talk. It looks like that thing is about to come out."

At this moment, while the two were talking, the blonde who was secretly looking at a certain black loli with long straight hair seemed to have noticed something and turned her head to look into the woods.

Almost at the same time, countless dark and gloomy black muds, as if dug out from the ditch, gushed out from the woods, and instantly piled up into a mud hill more than ten meters high on the open space a hundred meters away from the three people.

"I don't eat... cilantro!"

With a voice that sounded like hundreds of children shouting together, the ten-meter-high black mud hill suddenly exploded, and a large amount of black matter fell from the sky like rain.

Seeing this scene, Luo Shiyin's face suddenly turned ugly.

Fortunately, just before the black mud fell, the pink-haired hot girl standing not far away stretched out her long legs, walked to her side in three or two steps, took out a folding umbrella from her arms and opened it.

In an instant, there were continuous popping sounds, and the splashing black mud almost submerged the surrounding ground.

"Don't worry, senior. Those black things are negative emotion polymers. They don't have much smell and will dissipate quickly after landing."

Noticing the ugly expression on the face of the girl with long black hair next to her, Sanye Lian immediately gave a considerate explanation, trying to use these actions to make the other party forget about what happened in the company.

After hearing this explanation, Luo Shiyin's expression became better, and she began to look at the monster that was born from the mud and was shouting strange slogans.

But after seeing this, her expression became subtle again:

"That thing... is a monster?"

"The so-called monsters are actually the negative emotions that accumulate in ordinary people's hearts. They are finally born as concepts, so their shapes will be the most representative of emotions."

Also holding an umbrella in his hand, Xylitol smiled and looked at the person not far away, who looked like the result of a marriage between coriander and green onion, who ended up both cheating on Salted Fish and even dragging squid and crabs to have a silver party together. He didn't look surprised at all.

Sanyelian, who was holding an umbrella beside him, also comforted him:

"Actually, this monster is pretty good-looking. You'll get used to it after you see a few more monsters, senior."

“…If the source of monsters is negative emotions, then what about exam week and year-end layoffs?”

"Well, those times are often the most intensive periods of monster outbreaks."

Under their feet was a lavender halo that appeared out of nowhere and enveloped all four of them. The old man with dead fish eyes spoke in a hollow tone:

"coming."

"what?"

The overly jumpy remarks made Luo Shiyin stunned.

But soon, a red streak of light came rushing from a distance and hit the newly born food hybrid monster hard, making a loud sound like a grenade explosion.

After the light faded away, Luo Shiyin finally understood who the other party was referring to when they said "coming" - it was an auntie wearing a bright red fluffy skirt, holding a huge door-handled axe in her hand, with peach blossom eyes and long flowing hair?

"Wait, didn't you just say that the person who came was a magical girl?"

Seeing this scene, Luo Shiyin felt suffocated again and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the pink-haired hot girl next to her.
