Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　The lights cast a cold, piercing glow on the boxing ring, illuminating Lan Tianzhu and the other side of the ring... which seemed to be Lan Tianzhu's opponent.

　The bloodthirsty spectators around them had eyes like blades in a winter night, anticipating a bloody battle.

　"Alright! Let's get back to the game!"

　A passionate and stirring voice rang out from the loudspeakers throughout the venue—

　"Welcome to the revival match! As we can see, both players are ready to compete!"

　Lan Tianzhu: "I..."

　She was completely unprepared...

　But the commentator didn't care about any of that.

　"First, let's get to know the contestant in the red corner, codenamed Black Mamba! A veteran of the revival competition! At the age of 41, he made his mark in various revival competitions, but never won a single match! He defeated the blue-haired hostess and His Majesty Emperor Xiaochuan! He was agile and swift, known for his powerful elbows and flexible dodging skills, demonstrating his formidable strength and limitless potential."

　"..." As the commentary continued, Lan Tianzhu looked at his opponent... who was a black man, tall and agile with well-defined muscles.

　As a mortal, he's a pretty good guy.

　Thinking this, Lan Tianzhu summoned the dark blue flames and prepared for battle... but he had to wait for the narrator to finish.

　"And the contestant standing in the blue corner is a magical girl from Japan, codenamed—Magical Girl Blue Sky☆Jiang! She had many years of experience fighting monsters in her previous life, with superb tactics and versatile thinking. She can flexibly deal with various situations in the game, and she has no record of participating in the revival match before!"

　"So, who will emerge victorious in this competition? Let's wait and see!"

　Amidst such sounds, the gate in front of Lan Tianzhu opened rapidly. She took a deep breath, and flames shot out from her hand.

　"call out--"

　It struck the opponent who was charging aggressively, ready to elbow him... and then a huge explosion immediately occurred.

　"boom!!!"

　The man codenamed Black Mamba was immediately sent flying backward, off the ring and crashing to the ground... He lost, once again.

　"Plane crash! Another plane crash!!!"

　The referee shouted, waving his flag vigorously from his high position: "Congratulations to Lan Tianzhu for winning!"

　The cheers of the referee fueled the even more fervor of the surrounding crowd.

　Lan Tianzhu won, and that means...

　Blue Sky Nagisa! A glorious resurrection!!!

　-

　"what!"

　Lan Tianzhu suddenly sat up in bed, panting as she pondered something... Then she saw Cong Yu sitting to the side.

　"..." Cong Yu, who was scrolling through her phone, saw Lan Tianzhu suddenly sit up and asked, "You're awake? Are you hungry?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu called out towards the door, "Yao Chuan Guang, Lan Tian Zhu is awake. Time to eat!"

　It's getting late, but everyone is still waiting for Lan Tianzhu to wake up so they can have dinner together, so no one has eaten yet.

　"..."

　"I……"

　Lan Tianzhu said this, still looking like she hadn't fully woken up, under Cong Yu's gaze, "I won the revival match."

　"..." Cong Yu: "???"

　Has the concept of a "revival round" become popular in this day and age?

　Chapter 258 The Classic Young Lady Disappears

　Although the school festival had its share of ups and downs for Hikaru Yokawa, Nagisa Azuma, and the others, in everyone's eyes, it ended perfectly.

　This time, the top seller at the stall was—

　Food Club!

　"Congratulations, Yaochuan, on your victory! Victory! Victory!"

　As the homeroom teacher said this, she seemed quite proud... though it was unclear what she was so proud of.

　After all, this guy is of no positive use whatsoever.

　Incidentally, the sales of Class A's maid cafe were quite dismal this time... but this is not Class A's fault.

　Because nine out of ten classes are doing maid-themed XX series.

　And it happens every year...

　Take it away quickly! I'm about to throw up.

　"What's the homeroom teacher so happy about? I didn't see you at the school festival. Did you go drinking somewhere?"

　“That’s what I’m saying—”

　"That's right!"

　"Ninety!"

　"Savior!"

　"..." Hearing the students' merciless teasing, the homeroom teacher blushed immediately: "What are you saying... It doesn't count."

　As he said this, the homeroom teacher began by saying things like, "What happens in the brewing club can't be called drinking," and "There are four ways to talk about wine tasting."

　The classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

　However, there is no doubt that the Food Club's resume will look much better in next year's admissions... and this will also be written into the files of Hikaru Yokawa and Arisa Togishi.

　Surprisingly, Japan places a lot of importance on this aspect of the results.

　Such achievements are indeed useful if one works in a related industry... although they won't be the decisive factor.

　But neither Alisa Farahan, who is given the name "Far Shore," nor Hikari Yokawa, who is a magical girl, needs this.

　The former wouldn't apply for a chef's job, but would most likely open their own restaurant and become the head chef... or take over a bakery.

　Yaochuan Guang enjoys cooking, but it's just a personal hobby.

　"Oh, maybe next time... I'll definitely stay in the class as a maid during next year's school festival! I promise, I promise."

　The homeroom teacher said this, making a promise to everyone. Of course, it was just a casual promise; next year's problems could be left to the teacher to worry about next year!

　"Okay, here is Yaochuan Guang's certificate of merit... Yuanan didn't come to class today, so her homeroom teacher gave me her certificate as well. Could you please pass it on to her?"

　Yaochuan looked at the two framed certificates of merit handed to him by his homeroom teacher with great satisfaction, nodding happily.

　Look left and look right—

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Looking left and right...

　"..."

　"Don't bother looking at it, it's just a certificate."

　Cong Yu said this, and then when Yao Chuan Guang showed it to him, he added, "Don't show it to me either."

　It's just like a puppy wagging its tail happily after finding a ball.

　As expected of a human-shaped hunting dog, it has a natural love for showing off its treasures.

　"Eh?"

　"If you shake it again, I'll throw it away."

　"NO!"

　Yao Chuanguang refused, pouting as she hugged her precious certificate, saying, "This is the first award I've ever received in my life..."

　As he said this, despite Congyu's eye roll, Yaochuan Guang suggested, "How about I add your name, Congyu-chan, to the certificate?"

　"..."

　"I don't care, you can keep it yourself."

　As Cong Yu said this, she rubbed her head. Although Yao Chuan Guang didn't quite understand why Cong Yu suddenly touched her, he still happily lowered his head.

　She was then surrounded by a large group of classmates who congratulated her on winning the award.

　Yao Chuan Guang proudly put her hands on her hips and shared her business experience with everyone... She briefly summarized the reasons, which were as follows—

　Her bread looks delicious!

　The filling from the senior member of the Far Shore is delicious!

　The girl is beautiful!

　The longer the queue, the more people follow suit.

　!

　Omelette rice is awful!

　……

　The above five points, though expressed in a crude way, are based on the same principles... This may be the most simple and easy-to-understand business theory.

　If what you say is difficult for people to understand—

　That includes "product aesthetics and quality", "employee image and service quality", "market effect and herding effect", and "competitive analysis and environmental advantage".

　But Yaochuan Guang couldn't bring himself to say such a thing.

　In fact, no one needs to say such things... Besides "professionalism" itself, professionalism is nothing.

　From this, it can be seen that Yaochuan Guang is a seemingly foolish but actually shrewd person.

　What? Why is it "small wisdom appearing as foolishness" instead of "great wisdom appearing as foolishness"?

　The fact that you can ask such a question shows that you're about as smart as Yaochuan Guang... Congratulations, congratulations!

　"Ahem... Class is starting."

　Then, it wasn't until class started and the teacher said that that that the students reluctantly returned to their seats.

　This lesson is...

　[Physiological Health and Wellness Knowledge]

　Commonly known as health and physical education, the instructor is the only designated school doctor of Fuuto High School—Nijishita no Kou.

　"Now let's turn to page 86. In this lesson, we'll talk about a balanced diet, which is called B, A, L, A, N, C, E, D... D, I, E, T. It's also known as a healthy diet."

　Soon, all the students listening to Hong's lecture became drowsy... because it was really boring.

　Everyone initially thought that Teacher Hong, being a beautiful older sister, would be very interesting during the health class, but everyone was disappointed.

　It was just reading from the textbook verbatim.

　And he spoke incredibly fast...

　Occasionally, when someone asks a question, Teacher Hong acts as if she doesn't understand what they're talking about at all, and only says things like "If you don't understand, go search on Wikipedia."

　Either Teacher Hong is an amateur, or she's just impatient.

　Because Ms. Hong is the school doctor, her skills are really amazing... If you have a stomachache, just drink a couple of sips of medicine and you're fine.

　So the students couldn't believe that Teacher Hong was an outsider.

　So it can only mean that they don't like students asking questions...

　Hikari Yokawa used to be one of those students who would doze off in class, but she only recently discovered Nijishita Kurenai's true identity, and now she really doesn't know.

　The magical girl named Hikari Yokawa no longer knows how to face the teacher, Kurenai, who has joined the group of monsters.

　On one hand, Kurenai is a magical girl.

　On the other hand, Red is Blue's senior.

　On the other hand... Ms. Hong is both her and Congyu-chan's teacher.

　Under Yaochuan Guang's gaze, Hong appeared completely calm, simply continuing her lesson: "The feeling of fullness caused by fat nutritional imbalance..."

　"Ding Ding Ding-"

　"Oh, get out of class is over... get out of class is over, time for lunch."
