Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Then, Qili sat down next to the golden animal, waiting for the four kings here to speak.

　Although she knew she wasn't in any life-threatening danger, she was still quite panicked.

　"Gu..."

　However, the little golden animal seemed to sense someone nearby, so it lazily lay down in Qili's arms.

　The little animal feels nice to touch; it might be some king's pet... or a little monster or something.

　This put Qili at ease.

　"This is Kiri, the magical girl I was talking about... well, you might know Kiri, but I'll introduce her anyway."

　Cong Yu said, pointing to the people sitting there: "The King of Hokuto - Yuki-onna, the future King of Kyoto - Tamamo, and Shuten-dōji."

　Amidst the Yuki-onna's friendly wave and serene smile, and with Shuten-dōji's carefree nod, Kiri also nodded in response.

　My mood gradually calmed down...

　What's this? The King is actually quite easy to talk to.

　"As you can see, the five of us are the five kings of Japan... Are you curious why I said five?"

　Cong Yu said this with a gentle expression.

　The sober Shuten-dōji and Yuki-onna both cast "you're doing it again" looks at Murasame.

　Qili nodded.

　After all, there were only four people present.

　Cong Yu was not stingy with his answer. He smiled and pointed to Qi Li: "The one you are holding in your arms is called Jian Yu Lei... he is a king."

　"!!!" Qili's hand trembled, and she almost threw "Takemikazuchi" away.

　……

　Shuten-dōji: Oh, you're so mean!

　Snow Woman: Sigh, always

　Nothing has changed...

　Tamamo: "Hoo-hoo-ha-heh...ha...hoo—"

　Takemikazuchi: "Ha-whoosh-ha-whoosh..."

　Chapter 148 The Snake Monster? The Succubus Monster!

　"My birth was due to an accident... I was already conscious when I was still in my mother's womb."

　"By the way, my parents are human."

　"From birth, I felt out of place among the children around me. Because I was 'born with knowledge,' and possessed common sense and ways of thinking similar to modern people—things you can't even imagine, things that belong to the future."

　"However, I have no intention of doing anything, even though I am fully capable of pushing human civilization to the next stage."

　"Because I feel that these 'humans' are different from what I remember humans to be like. Whether they are bandits, robbers, or even the neighbors in the village."

　"I don't think they're human."

　"Then, I killed the village priest..."

　Cong Yu spoke simply, recalling for a moment: "I think I was about eight or ten years old? I was working as a helper at the village church at that time."

　Shuten seemed somewhat surprised by Cong Yu's words: "So Cong Yu, you're European? I thought you were Chinese."

　“…” Cong Yu did not answer the question.

　"Just as the priest was about to bare his fangs at my companion, I simply killed him... and burned the entire church to the ground."

　"Then, I and the other survivors of the church children were investigated by the knights, who wanted to find the monster possessing us..."

　"So I used some underhanded tactics and killed half of them."

　Yuki-onna had heard the story of Murasame before, so she didn't react much, but Shuten-dōji was very interested.

　"Wait, Cong Yu, you were still human back then, right? It's one thing to deal with the unarmed priest, but how did you manage to take on those knights?"

　Qili, who was listening nearby, was also curious about this, but it was unlikely that she would interrupt and ask in this situation.

　Fortunately, Shuten-dōji spoke up and asked.

　"In Europe at that time, knights were not magical girls. In fact, magical girls, like monsters, were people who were to be executed."

　"But knights are human beings, and they also have a day when they take off their armor, and they also need to eat and drink... My method is to poison the water source."

　Cong Yu spread out her hands as she spoke, saying, "It's not a lethal poison. It's not that I didn't want to, but it was my mistake."

　"I was naive back then and misjudged the difference in toxicity between 'lethal to ordinary people' and 'lethal to those who possess magic,' believing that the experimental results could be replicated. Therefore, the poison I concocted only killed half of them."

　"What happened next was rather bizarre."

　Cong Yu recalled the past and took a sip of Sprite from her bowl: "Just when we were about to be killed... divine revelation descended."

　"My friend was chosen to be God's messenger, and he condensed a holy light blade to annihilate all the knights."

　"Then he said, 'I understand, Cong Yu... I am actually a 'Saint of Heaven,' and I was born to rule the British Isles! Want to come with me, my brother?' I thought about it and decided against it."

　"I bid him farewell and boarded a ship bound for Asia. There I met the Snow Woman and grew up with her. Spending so much time with her, I became a monster."

　Kiri finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty... Lady Congyu, were you friends with Lady Yuki-onna when you were still human?"

　How did they manage that? To become friends with the Monster King while being human, there must have been an incredibly vast power difference between them.

　The Snow Woman immediately answered Qili's question, chuckling, "It's funny, back then Congyu was stronger than me."

　Humans...are stronger than monsters?

　Looking at the unbelievable beauty, the Snow Woman slowly and lightly said, "Back then, I was just an ordinary weirdo, but Murasame was not an ordinary human... He had a belly full of wicked schemes and insidious and vicious fighting skills."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　I'll take that as a compliment.

　"Alright, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the present... In the present, when Takemikazuchi also becomes a King-level, the five of us will feel confident enough to conquer a city and become kings."

　"However, the process was much easier than we had imagined... Our extensive preparations did not seem to be particularly necessary."

　Cong Yu's expression turned slightly awkward upon hearing this... Only five King-level beings have the confidence? They really think highly of magical girls.

　"It's not that we overestimated you, Qili."

　Seeing this, Cong Yu comforted her, saying, "Our original hypothetical enemy was the magical girl alliance from Jerusalem and the Vatican."

　Despite Cong Yu's words of comfort, Qi Li's mood didn't improve much.

　When Hokuto was attacked, the Magical Girl Headquarters must have requested reinforcements, but it was no use... they just wouldn't come!

　What good is this stupid holy city?

　"Then, I went to the emperor to resign, explaining that I wanted to temporarily leave my group, and she agreed... and then I came to Fengdu."

　Qi Li's eyebrows twitched as Cong Yu, who was sipping his drink and speaking casually, seemed to sense that he had overlooked something significant.

　But she kept her doubts to herself.

　After all, she was just a

　It's a bit difficult for a little magical girl to ask a question under these circumstances.

　"My original plan was to live a simple life, go to school, and after graduation, enter politics, slowly infiltrating the magical girl organizations and power structures of the city and Japan, and then naturally destroy the corrupt system and replace the parts that need replacing... Afterwards, I would take control of the 'Fuuto' machine and make it independent."

　"..." Qili: I feel like I've overheard another incredible plan!!!

　"..."

　"But it seems unnecessary, because magical girls these days are more sensible than I imagined, and not as annoying as I thought."

　"I can confidently be a relaxed and carefree king."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she stared in Qi Li's direction: "I didn't originally like magical girls, and I was indifferent to mortals, but now..."

　"I've started to like magical girls because they're useful and easy to use, saving me a lot of trouble. To put it bluntly... I like obedient little animals."

　"I don't like the original magical girl who was disobedient."

　“It’s different now… She’s cute and obedient, and I think that’s great.”

　Qili was a little confused, unsure if Congyu was hinting at something, but then she thought about it... Congyu was currently living with a magical girl.

　It seems necessary to do more in this regard...

　"However, I was just saying that. Please don't worry about it too much, or I'll be in a difficult position."

　beautiful:"!!!"

　Could the King of Fengdu read minds?

　"I can't read minds."

　And you still say you can't read minds?!

　"I've just seen too many people who choose to read between the lines out of fear and apprehension... I prefer something more natural, more beautiful."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he noticed Qi Li's thoughtful expression. He simply said, "If you need anything, just say so. If there are any difficulties, we can discuss them. If you want to make friends, you should be upright and honest."

　"I'm calling you because I need your help... It's not an order, just a simple request. If you feel uncomfortable, just say so."

　With that, Cong Yu walked to the elegantly decorated table and simply extended her hand: "But before that, would you like to become my friend?"

　"Get rid of things like 'profit,' 'interpersonal skills,' and 'status' from your head."

　"I wasn't asking about [Magical Girl Azure☆Kirei], but about you...Kirei, let's be friends—"

　"..." Unable to say no.

　Or rather, before Qili even began to consider the question of "to agree or to refuse?", her hand had already naturally landed on Cong Yu's hand.

　It's almost as if the body is acting on its own.

　Chapter 149 His rank is even lower than Xiao Cui's

　When he realized that the favor he needed to do was to help with the situation where "Tamamo and Shuten-dōji also want to peacefully become kings, and you need to see what the association's intentions are"...

　Qili smiled.

　I laughed from my face to my butt.

　Peace is good, peace is good...

　This goes beyond "helping"; it's more like saying, "I can't eat anymore, please eat the cake for me."

　That suits Qili's heart perfectly!

　So cool!

　Ever since I met Cong Yu, good things have been happening non-stop...

　First, they could use someone else's name to show off their power in the association, then they could openly criticize the leaders and the cabinet, and now they've encountered good things again.

　Tamamo and Shuten-dōji are two walking natural disasters.

　The crisis of two time bombs, no... the danger of timed nuclear bombs, was just resolved. So satisfying!

　The Snow Woman also said that if the results were good, some magical girl agencies could be sent back to Hokuto to deal with the evil monsters there.

　It also saves us from having to clean up wild monsters every day.

　……

　Oh my god...

　This rain isn't just a friend, it's a lucky charm!

　No, even his godfather!

　I have lived a life of wandering and hardship, only regretting that I have not met a wise ruler. If Cong Yu does not abandon me, I am willing to become his godfather!

　"Snapped!"

　Qili slammed the photo down in front of the bespectacled man. His puzzled expression was replaced by excitement in her eyes, which practically glowed: "Look!"

　Looking at photos?

　The bespectacled man looked down and saw that it was a group photo of Qili and several other people: one man, two women, a child, and a dog. The man was wearing a mask.

　They looked very happy and harmonious.
