Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　As Hikaru Yokawa pondered, Kou Nijishita revealed an expression of keen interest: "Murayu will be coming too?"

　Murasame-chan? Why would you mention Murasame-chan?

　Although he didn't quite understand, Yaochuan Guang answered honestly, "Yeah, he should come to help... probably."

　"..."

　"Okay, no problem..."

　Hong started to look forward to it.

　She had always wanted to see that expression, to see the expression on Cong Yu's face when she had to call her "teacher" many times.

　Chapter 247 Lan Tianzhu's Premonition Dream

　"School festival... I really miss it."

　Saying this with a blank expression, Nagisa Azuma looked at the noisy Fuuto High School... Today is the school festival.

　Because it was an open day, many students' parents or friends from outside the school came to Fengdu High School to participate.

　As a close friend of Yaochuan Guang and Congyu, Lantian Zhu also brought Xiao Cui here.

　"Sister Blue Sky, did your old school have a school festival?"

　Xiao Cui tugged at Lan Tianzhu's sleeve and asked this question. She looked at the sign for Fengdu High School and the stalls that filled the playground and passageways.

　There seem to be lots of delicious food!

　As for Xiao Cui's doubts, Lan Tianzhu recalled... some of them were indeed true, but they didn't seem to be particularly pleasant.

　At the very least, it didn't bring her any pleasant memories.

　When I was little, my grandma was very busy and wouldn't come to the school festival. So for Nagisa Aoi, it was probably just an ordinary school-related event.

　But there's no need to explain these things to Xiao Cui.

　"Yes, there is a school festival."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu looked at Xiao Cui and asked her, who had lived in Fengsha Village all her life: "And you?"

　When asked by Azumi Nagisa, Xiao Cui shook her head: "My father and mother won't let me go to the school festival."

　What a pitiful little thing.

　emerald.

　Lan Tianzhu pondered how Xiao Cui was even more pitiful than herself... It seemed that many magical girls had tragic childhoods.

　Her former teammates also had a tough time.

　However, those tragedies can now be left behind.

　For the first time, she had a trustworthy friend, and for the first time, she had a roommate. What awaited her was a wonderful time like a dream.

　Well... probably.

　"What's that over there...?"

　Xiao Cui looked at the stalls not far away, where a large crowd seemed to be gathered: "So many people."

　Lan Tianzhu glanced at it, then looked up and said, "It's a game demo, probably a showcase project for the game department or something."

　Lan Tianzhu doesn't usually play video games.

　He mostly stays on the sofa watching TV.

　Hikaru Yokawa does know how to play mobile games... like Magical Girl Battle Royale.

　"Left, left; right, right!"

　"Ouch, I'm dead... I'm not playing anymore."

　What are you doing? Can you stop doing this all the time?

　"I don't want to play anymore..."

　Amidst the clamor of the gathered crowd, Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui curiously peered over and discovered it was a platforming game.

　It seems to be quite difficult.

　The map is full of all kinds of traps and spikes, but you can start over after each death... and then you fall in the same place again.

　It's very interesting.

　It's at least more fun than the one Cong Yu played before, where you shoot and kill everyone you see while standing in the stronghold.

　Of course, what Lan Tianzhu didn't know was...

　After the game she was playing ended, Cong Yu's account was thrown into the Magical Girl outfit... This server was full of god-like battles.

　Moreover, players on those servers basically don't have any tactics to speak of; they rely entirely on their reaction speed and individual skills to participate in the battle.

　The games have all become boring.

　"Anyone else want to try?"

　After a while, someone asked this question, and Lan Tianzhu volunteered, saying, "I'll do it!"

　When others look at it...

　Wow! A light emerged from the crowd... Hmm, a beautiful blue-haired girl. I immediately thought she was great.

　This will definitely attract more passersby.

　Then, in full view of everyone... Lan Tianzhu played terribly, sometimes unable to even jump over the simplest thorns.

　Sometimes they'll run headfirst into the thorns and die.

　This game has a "blood residue" mechanic; the more people die in the same place, the more blood will accumulate.

　So in the end, the entire map of this level was covered with the blood of the character controlled by Nagisa Azuma.

　Incidentally, the blood is red.

　Even so, Lan Tianzhu seemed to be having a great time... the more people died, the happier she seemed.

　It might be because it's too powerful in other games.

　Therefore, it's rare to find a game that doesn't test reaction speed, nor does it pursue difficulty or accuracy; it's simply a game of "tricking" and killing.

　It tests hand-eye coordination.

　For Lantian Zhu, who didn't play with full effort and ended up getting frustrated, this might actually be a decent gaming experience.

　This can actually be seen in the spells used by each magical girl.

　Yaochuan Guang seems a bit silly and carefree. But the technique he uses is a rather precise "beam" technique, hmm...

　Although there's a recent trend of it becoming a "light cannon".

　Lan Tianzhu is usually a shrewd person. However, his techniques are more adept at chanting-style spells with longer wind-ups but greater power.

　Actually, Lantianzhu isn't very suitable for micro-management.

　Well, it's not that they can't, but rather that they might be unwilling...

　Xiao Cui, on the other hand, is quite the opposite...

　"Sister Blue Sky, let me try it too."

　As she said this, Xiao Cui took the controller from Lan Tianzhu's hand, and everyone looked on curiously... wondering if such a young child could really understand this kind of platform jumping game with all its tricky designs.

　Then, Xiao Cui showed everyone with her actions that it was possible.

　"Crackling and popping—"

　Xiao Cui's handle created an illusion!

　To onlookers, it was as if Xiao Cui's hand had vanished, prompting everyone to exclaim in surprise, "Vanished?!"

　In the end, Xiao Cui successfully completed the game quickly and set a record that surpassed that of the other members of the game club... This is Xiao Cui's talent.

　Xiao Cui, who is skilled at controlling countless little sprites, may be naturally adept at uncovering those minute details.

　-

　However, to be honest, Lan Tianzhu didn't sleep last night... no, it wasn't because she kept picking at her hair again.

　After all, I slept in Congyu's room last night, sleeping with everyone, so I didn't sneak around looking at comics or anything.

　Although we don't need comics anymore now (sadly)

　Lan Tianzhu didn't sleep well because she had a dream.

　A dream about the past...

　The dream is about how she and her grandmother were robbed on the street, and then were saved by Hii-senpai before something terrible happened.

　A dream about the squad.

　……

　Magical girls' dreams are not just simple dreams. While it's true that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night... magical girls are different.

　Legend has it that before the destruction of Hokuto, countless magical girls from Hokuto dreamt of Hokuto being destroyed.

　Enveloped by wind and snow.

　So perhaps Lan Tianzhu's dream also has some meaning.

　However, Lan Tianzhu herself did not know what that meaning was... She always felt that something might happen today.

　However, it seems that the school festival at Fuuto High School is proceeding normally.

　So, the so-called dream and the ominous feeling should just be an illusion, right?

　Lan Tianzhu thought to herself.

　Chapter 248 Cardiac Arrest

　"Wow, schoolgirls are so cute..."

　As he said this, a man stretched and complained, "Damn, the quality of students at Fuuto High School has really improved in recent years."

　His companion glanced at him and remarked, "I suggest you look at your own face... There were plenty of good-looking people back then too."

　The underlying meaning of this statement is...

　There are plenty of gold bars in the bank, but unfortunately, none of them are relevant to you.

　Upon hearing this, the man who had been making jokes immediately shut his mouth and said no more. His face was ashen, and he looked very sad.

　After a while, he muttered a complaint: "With so many people, there might be one who's blind. Why didn't we have such good fortune back then?"

　As he said this, he immediately perked up and said, "Hey, I saw a really cool black-haired girl earlier... her hair reached her waist, she's probably a member of the student council, awesome!"

　His companion looked helpless and said, "This still has nothing to do with you, and there's no way he'd be interested in you."

　That's heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.

　He felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest when he was spoken to so bluntly, and clutched his chest in pain.

　"Sigh, I've tried so hard all these years, but I just can't seem to get the girls to like me! What can I do..."

　His friend could only roll his eyes at his words: "Okay, stop thinking about it, let's go find something to eat... The omelet rice we had before was really awful, I threw it all up, but the maid students inside were quite pretty."

　That's enough, since the selling point of a maid cafe isn't the food.

　"It looks like there are quite a few people queuing over there."

　As he said this, he looked up and gazed into the distance: "They look like adorable animal-shaped breads. I'll go buy some..."

　This could be a trend, or rather, an effect.

　Because the bread is indeed very cute, and it tastes good too, plus the bread sellers are all pretty girls.

　Therefore, there were indeed many people queuing in front of Yaochuan Guang and Yuanan Alisa's booths.

　And the people queuing up attracted even more people to queue up.

　Even with Lan Tianzhu's intermittent help, the number of people in line didn't seem to be decreasing.

　Moreover, many students who had not participated in the campus festival sales also joined the queue.

　They didn't have any particular goal; they simply wanted to enjoy the food.

　Because of its immense popularity, all the pre-cut bread dough has sold out, and Yaochuan Guang is currently working overtime to produce more.
