Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Chi You had some reservations about this.

　Unfortunately, her opinion was not important.

　……

　Hehe, Miss Chiyou is furious.

　Chapter 164 Grandpa

　By July, the weather had become so hot that short sleeves were necessary... Of course, people like Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang didn't really care.

　While they can perceive the difference between cold and heat and feel comfortable in suitable temperatures, they do not experience discomfort in winter or summer.

　The "discomfort" caused by temperature is nonexistent for magical girls and monsters... This adaptability is also evidence of their inhumanity.

　It's worth mentioning that even in early July, Fuuto High School still hadn't started summer vacation... In fact, the entire country of Japan didn't have summer vacation.

　Summer vacation here starts on July 15th and lasts for more than a month, until school resumes in September.

　Of course, at Fuuto High School, final exams are simply not an option.

　Instead, a monthly exam was held in early July.

　"Ah, Cong Yu... how did your exam go?"

　After handing in his paper, Minato Namikaze immediately spotted Cong Yu lounging in the corridor eating candy: "Haha, no need to ask anymore, you're number one again anyway—"

　Indeed, exams are not a big problem for Cong Yu, but there's no need to be proud of it.

　After all, Fuuto High School is filled with the standard Fuuto style from top to bottom... a lazy and indifferent style.

　There aren't many people who really care about grades.

　"Hmm, would you like some candy?"

　As Cong Yu said this, she reached into her pocket, took out a pineapple-flavored hard candy, and handed it to Minato Namikaze.

　Cong Yu turned her head and saw that Yao Chuanguang was still writing furiously in the classroom... There were very few people left in the classroom.

　In the corridor, many students were already excitedly discussing where to go for summer vacation.

　"Thank you. What are your plans for summer vacation?"

　When asked about Minato's question after receiving the candy, Cong Yu, who hadn't thought about it, shook her head: "I haven't decided yet, what about you?"

　Regarding this…

　"My parents said they would take me to the mountains to play."

　Minato Namikaze said, scratching his golden pineapple-shaped spiky hair: "It seems to be called Mount Myōboku. I wonder if there's internet there."

　"..." Miaomu Mountain.

　Godfather Mount Myōboku.

　"Uh... there are actually people calling out..."

　The area around Mount Myoboku.

　Cong Yu's expression hardened. He opened his phone and searched for the so-called "Mount Myoboku," and actually found it—

　Miaomushanzhuang – a frog-themed tourist destination that blends natural ecology and cultural enjoyment, attracting countless visitors with its unique frog culture, abundant natural landscapes, and first-class tourist facilities.

　[It boasts a frog ecological pond, a frog museum, a frog-themed restaurant, a toad-themed altar, frog-themed luxury villas, and a fitness center.]

　Welcome to Myoboku Villa!

　"..."

　"……"silence.

　Cong Yu fell into a long silence.

　But probably...

　"It sounds like a very modern resort, not some remote mountain village. There should be internet access."

　As Cong Yu said this, he patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder: "Tweet it when the time comes, let us broaden our horizons... especially the frog-themed restaurant."

　It can't all be bugs, right?

　Also... when Minato Namikaze returns, if he can really activate Sage Mode, it will be quite difficult to handle.

　"Haha...please spare me."

　Minato Namikaze smiled wryly, his fingers looping around a ruler with a hole, spinning it continuously: "Whether it's a bullfrog or an insect, I'm not good at it..."

　As he said this, Minato Namikaze glanced behind him and saw that Hikaru Yokawa had already handed in his paper. He then smiled at Murasame and said, "I'm going to my clubroom now. We'll talk later."

　"..."

　"Congyu-chan! I think I've really done something amazing this time!"

　Yao Chuan Guang proudly said to Cong Yu, her face beaming with confidence, "Hahaha, I can do all the questions!"

　Furthermore, under Cong Yu's intensive test-taking strategy, Yao Chuan Guang even saw several questions with the same solution approach as past exam questions.

　"Then it seems your results this time won't be bad."

　Cong Yu responded, putting her phone in her pocket and saying softly, "That's to be expected, because magical girls have very strong memories."

　"That should be the case. Whether they are magical girls or monsters, their speed of accepting and learning new things far exceeds that of ordinary people."

　"Those who should be pioneers, many of them, are content to wallow in the past. In fact..."

　"The only difference is whether you want to or not, whether you make an effort or not, and whether your efforts are in the right direction... nothing more."

　"..." Yaochuan Guang squinted, her mind flashing with images of stars and the sea because of Cong Yu's words. Then she showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh!"

　Then, she smiled...

　"Didn't understand, hehehe—"

　"..."

　"Oh, it's okay."

　Cong Yu smiled as he walked towards the culinary club classroom, explaining, "Simply put... after putting in the effort, you'll find that learning is actually quite easy, right?"

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　After thinking for a moment, Hikaru Yokawa finally understood and nodded: "Congyu-chan, if you want to praise me for my hard work, you're going to take a much roundabout way...tsundere!"

　"..."

　"I've told you so many times, I'm not being arrogant."

　Cong Yu was speechless, but still managed a sigh and a smile: "Well, that's pretty much the gist of it... Think what you want!"

　But you really work very hard, Hikaru Yokawa.

　-

　"I'll probably take a long leave of absence... I might not come to school until the holidays start."

　As she said this, Alisa Haruka handed the key in her hand to Hikaru Yokawa: "This is the key to the clubroom."

　In response, Hikaru Yokawa asked curiously, "What's wrong? Senpai Togi... doesn't look too good."

　Yes, Alisa's expression did indeed... seem to reveal a kind of sadness, which was in stark contrast to the overall cheerful atmosphere of Fuuto High School.

　Everyone is excited because the holiday is coming soon.

　My grandfather has passed away.

　As Alisa spoke, she paused for a moment before continuing, "She passed away just yesterday. She died peacefully, which can be considered a natural death."

　Hearing this, Hikaru Yokawa was also a little sad. She sighed softly, "I'm sorry... Senpai Toshiro, please accept my condolences."

　Although I've only known Alisa for a short time, she's already such a fool who can feel sadness for others' sadness and joy for others' joy.

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's apology, Alisa waved her hand and shook her head helplessly: "Everyone has to die eventually."

　Although Alisa was trying her best to calm her tone, her slightly sorrowful words still made Yaochuan Guang sense the pain deep in her heart.

　Cong Yu can probably imagine this.

　After all, Alisa's father doesn't seem like the modern kind of father who can be friends with his children.

　Perhaps he's the image of a dignified yet distant head of the family...

　On the other hand, Rhodes of Far Shore has a cheerful and healthy personality, and in the eyes of Alyssa of Far Shore, he should be a kind and gentle grandfather.

　……

　He faked his death last night, so the reconstructive surgery should have been scheduled for today...

　I'll go back to the organization tomorrow and visit Rhodes on the Far Shore.

　Chapter 165 Rhodes is here! Rhodes is here! Rhodes is here!

　"Roar! Roar! Roar! This familiar, youthful body! Self-healing..."

　"Healing abilities and boundless physique! And the monstrous power I've always dreamed of! Oh my! I'm invincible! Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me?"

　The pink-haired man, who looked to be in his thirties, was laughing loudly, like a giant, pounding his chest with his fists.

　"..." The doctor paused for a moment, then spoke up to remind him, "Be quiet, lie down again, I need to conduct an adaptive examination."

　At her prompting, the pink-haired man blinked, then immediately lay back down obediently: "Oh..."

　But he didn't seem inclined to stop talking: "By the way, I heard from Cong Yu that you and he are good friends. Actually, Cong Yu and I are friends too. A long time ago, I asked Cong Yu..."

　doctor:"……"

　The silent doctor stared at the file displayed on the screen beside the operating table… Far Shore Rhodes? He was talking so much, almost too cheerfully.

　He's such a chatterbox...

　"Please be quiet, you're interfering with my examination."

　The doctor reminded him again, while Rhodes of the Far Shore shut his mouth with a regretful look: "Never mind then, I was originally going to tell you about Cong Yu's embarrassing moments..."

　doctor:"……"

　I wanted to say something like "explain in detail," but the doctor just said it would "affect the examination," and now I want to hear embarrassing stories... I feel a bit like I'm contradicting myself.

　Let's focus on the data for now and ask about it later.

　With that thought in mind, the doctor pulled up a chart and tapped on the screen, causing the sharp needle to pierce Rhodes' arm.

　……

　The fog leakage rate reading is normal.

　The self-healing speed is normal.

　Organ fusion is normal.

　……

　"That's enough, you can speak now."

　The doctor spoke calmly, his heart filled with anticipation for Cong Yu's embarrassing moment...

　What to say?

　Cong Yu usually gave her the impression of someone who "seems to never make a mistake" and who doesn't care about anything.

　Even if they sometimes forget or make a mistake, they will simply shrug and say, "Oh dear, I forgot," and then continue doing their own thing at a leisurely pace, instead of rushing to try to fix it.

　When you ask him, he'll say it doesn't matter.

　In addition, there are examples such as [waking up during surgery and being able to watch your heart being cut open without changing your expression], and...

　[You asked me if it hurts? Of course it hurts, so next time please give me a larger dose of anesthesia... Is that not okay? Never mind then.]

　This kind of reaction is more in line with Cong Yu's character.

　It was rare to hear of Cong Yu making a fool of herself, so the doctor was naturally curious!

　If she didn't get an answer, she felt like a magical girl was crawling all over her.

　Rhodes, who had been holding back for so long, immediately smiled, sat up from the hospital bed, and said, "Thank you, doctor. I feel better than ever before. I've been lying in bed for so long, the pain and torment made it impossible for me to say a word. When my granddaughter and grandson came to see me, I couldn't even speak. I wanted to yell at my son, but I couldn't do it, but..."

　"..." The doctor remained silent, then pressed the screen to untie the restraints on Far Shore Rhodes' feet... It sounded like Far Shore Rhodes and his son didn't have a good relationship.

　But the doctor didn't care about that; she just wanted to know when she would be able to hear Cong Yu's embarrassing stories from this chatterbox.
