Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"I'm talking about serious matters. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner later..."

　As Cong Yu said this, she suddenly felt a flash of lightning through her mind. She looked at the black "marbles" in the small box next to her and realized something.

　"So that's how it is, it's mermaid flesh..."

　……

　This time, it really is "friend, delicious".

　Chapter 170 Gamification Confirmed

　A lot happened today... well, a lot happened for comic book lovers.

　First of all, Teacher CY updated this morning.

　It's been updated!!!

　Isn't it usually updated close to the end of the month, or even next month or the month after that?!

　The fans who learned of this news were not immediately overjoyed... or rather, only a portion of them were overjoyed.

　The other group was somewhat worried.

　I wonder if it's some kind of "hiatus" or something?

　No way! The plot is clearly on the verge of ending... Wait! Could it be that this season is the last?

　Was it abandoned?

　It is well known that if a comic book artist's work is very successful, then the editors will often force them to continue writing.

　Turn the original novella into a novel, or even a super-long novel.

　In this situation, cartoonists are prone to burnout and don't know what to do next.

　The second part led to an unfinished project.

　However, if the grades decline, they will be forced to be cut in half.

　However, CY's comics should be doing quite well, so there shouldn't be this kind of problem, right?

　Then, CY posted a tweet, proving the netizens' keen sense of smell and confirming their guesses—today's update was somewhat unusual.

　[The story of Re: Magical Girl Link will reach its final chapter next month... the final chapter of the manga.]

　I will continue creating comics, and I will continue to create works based on different worldviews. But my next comic will have an even larger worldview.

　[Or rather, the following story will be just the tip of the iceberg of a mainstream manga world I might create in the future.]

　[As for the story after Magical Girl Link, that is, "Season 2," I hope everyone can find the answer in the mobile game (laughs)]

　"..." The accompanying picture on this tweet is of CY-sensei standing in front of the Magical Girl Association's publicity department.

　As always, just like at previous book signing events, CY did not show her face, but was instead placed inside a large fruit box.

　The fruit box had "Ripe Mango" written on it in black pen, and the word "CY" written in large letters.

　This proves that this is Teacher CY.

　On the side were some members of the Magical Girl Association, dressed in uniforms, most of them magical girls.

　Among them are many magical girl enthusiasts, including well-known star magical girls... the kind with a large number of fans.

　The magical girls standing to the left and right of CY-sensei each held one end of a banner, with the central message reading: (Re: Magical Girl Connect mobile game, production confirmed).

　"..." This tweet caused a sensation in the comic book world.

　What to say?

　Although CY is not a super master and his works are not phenomenal, he has won quite a few awards.

　For example, awards like "This comic book is amazing".

　Soon, the comments section on Twitter was flooded with 999+.

　[So much information!!!]

　[Gamification? Is it real?]

　Actually, from the very beginning I felt that Magical Girl Connect would be quite suitable for being adapted into a game or something.

　[Yeah, the "Connection Burst" and stuff is basically the ultimate skill (move-in) you can learn at level six, haha.]

　There are also swimsuit and winter outfits, Lunar New Year looks, and a magical girl princess form—each character could have four different skins! (laughs)

　Now that you mention it, it's true—

　[CY-sensei, you really are worthy of being a mobile game artist, lol]

　[I'm really looking forward to the next manga... They say it's just the tip of the iceberg or something, does that mean the manga after that will be a super long series like magical girl ninja or pirate girl?]

　I'm really looking forward to it!

　[Ahhh, Magical Girl Connect is over, my youth is over.]

　[A mobile game... I wonder if it will be available in mainland China.]

　-

　"Swipe brush-"

　At that moment, Cong Yu was signing contracts in quick succession... There were about a dozen contracts to sign.

　These include the transfer of serialization rights from publishers, changes to revenue sharing for standalone books, Cong Yu's guaranteed minimum wage contract, and licensing for mobile game development, etc.

　Because the manga's ownership was previously acquired by the Magical Girl Association from the publisher, many of his contracts needed to be renegotiated.

　And after all the contracts were finalized...

　Cong Yu also needs to finish the first chapter of her next manga, "Magical Girl of Manaria," at the association.

　Used for editing promotional videos for the association's publicity department.

　"..." To this, Cong Yu could only draw with a frown on her face... and during this process, she was also harassed by magical girls.

　"Teacher CY, everyone online is eagerly anticipating your new work!"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　"Teacher, is your new work set in the academy?"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　"Teacher CY, why aren't you saying anything?"

　"..." In the silence, Cong Yu glanced at the magical girls around her, then put down the digital pen in her hand.

　Then, he spoke in a kind and gentle manner—

　"roll."

　As she said this, Cong Yu pointed to the door of the small room and gently reminded her, "Get out of here."

　In response, most of the magical girls scattered.

　"Teacher CY is so rude—"

　"Let's go."

　"So rough, but I love it."

　"..." What a bunch of lunatics! Why did magical girls turn out like this?

　With this in mind, Cong Yu reached out and tossed the several magical girls who refused to leave out of the house like kittens.

　Then, Cong Yu took a deep breath and sat back down in front of the computer...

　Now I can finally paint in peace.

　With that in mind, Cong Yu very smoothly and effortlessly took out her phone from her pocket and started reading the messages.

　The entire set of movements was fluid and seamless, without any hint of sluggishness or hesitation.

　……

　[Red: I checked, and just as you guessed, the frequency of monster attacks in various places started to increase on a certain day. It...]

　They weren't specifically targeting any particular city; in fact, monster attacks on the central city were becoming increasingly frequent.

　[Red: Moreover, after the monster attack, there were indeed humanoid monsters like the Great Shadow who came to retrieve something... which should be the ring you mentioned.]

　[Red: Are you there?]

　"..." Cong Yu looked at the message from the red-haired girl. He was currently at the Magical Girl Association in Central City and recalled the monster alarm from earlier.

　I compared the time that Red sent me with the message.

　[Cong Yu: I see you. Are you near Central City right now...? I'm currently inside the Magical Girl Association.]

　After a while, Cong Yu's message was marked as read.

　[Red: Using your human identity?]

　[Red: Murasame, how could you use your human identity to deceive the feelings of an innocent magical girl? That's utterly despicable!]

　[Cong Yu: You can't say that... Rather than that, do you have any clues about the monster's "black cavity"?]

　[Red: Reverse tracking is a bit difficult... but if I study it a dozen more times, I should be able to use the Crimson Crystal Spell to locate the enemy.]

　[Red: Are you in a hurry?]

　[Cong Yu: No, your safety is the priority. I'm not in a hurry at all... but my killing urge is gradually rising.]

　[Red: Then kill some magical girls to relieve the tension.]

　What kind of weird talk is this?

　Chapter 171 The Battle of Red! But Cong Yu Arrives

　The red roof under the rainbow is very strong.

　……

　It might sound strange to say this suddenly, but she is really strong.

　The principle that turning evil makes one three times stronger seems to be well demonstrated in her case... but that's not all.

　If three-fifths of Cong Yu's strength is due to his own abilities, then the remaining two-fifths is due to his physical body.

　The magic of the rain is immense.

　This immense power stemmed from the experimental modifications the doctors made to him... He was a monster possessing monstrous powers.

　The combination of the two forces brought forth an immense magical "source," and this "small source" was very special.

　On one hand, it transformed the original "pond" of magical energy into a "great river," and on the other hand... it also absorbed magical energy from the "great source" very quickly.

　In layman's terms, it means having a large total amount of magic power, a large flow of magic power, fast magic power recovery, and fast automatic health regeneration.

　While this might not allow Cong Yu to leapfrog a level in strength, it's enough to make him a standout among his peers.

　As for red...

　She also owed the doctor a debt of gratitude... transforming from a pure magical girl into a magical girl with a portion of the Rain God's magic within her.

　In other words, it is depravity.

　Because it wasn't a true "fusion," but merely the implantation of Murasame's magic, she cannot be considered a combination of a magical girl and a monster.

　But the difference isn't particularly large anymore.

　Therefore, the intensity of red is probably among the top three in the entire organization.

　Cong Yu and Dai Ying are two genuine combinations of eccentric and demonic powers. They are undoubtedly among the strongest members of the 22nd Group.

　The three thousand streams flowing in both directions and the red one could probably be ranked third.

　What? You're asking who the "Three Thousand Streams of Flow" refers to? And what level of expertise does the doctor possess?

　Ok……

　Shunni Sanqianliu is the BOSS's full name, and the doctor's abilities... she really is just a scientific researcher.

　While it's true that in many anime and games, the researchers in those organizations have ridiculously high levels of power, able to transform into four different forms with just one injection.

　But doctors are researchers with exceptional research abilities; if they were to actually engage in a one-on-one arena battle... they'd probably get beaten to death by the rabbit man.

　As long as the rabbit man dares to make a move.
