Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"Yours has sugar in it, mine doesn't!"

　After refuting Nagashima Koki's argument, the doctor sighed, took out a few packets of sweets from under his desk, and said, "Here you go... Go get a cup from that cabinet over there and make some. I just bought these; I haven't tried them yet."

　Actually, I bought it for Cong Yu, because he also claimed things like "I don't drink coffee without sugar"... although after that, I never forgot to give it to him.

　Seeing Nagashima Koki excitedly reach for the cup, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Koki: "Do you want some?"

　Xiao Cui shook her head at this...

　"Thank you, but I won't drink it. I won't be able to sleep at night if I do."

　As she said this, Xiao Cui looked at Nagashima Koki behind the doctor, and she had a somewhat hesitant expression on her face.

　Upon seeing that expression, the doctor knew something was seriously wrong.

　After turning around abruptly...

　High blood pressure! I'm definitely going to have high blood pressure!

　The doctor nearly choked on his breath, his eyes rolling back as he pointed a trembling finger at Nagashima Koki: "Put it down! Can't you just use a normal cup?"

　Nagashima Koki, holding a cup in her right hand and an instant coffee in her left, looked around, wondering why she had been yelled at again.

　"What's wrong with this cup? It's perfectly normal."

　Having said that, Nagashima Nozomi was certain she hadn't made a mistake. She said righteously, "If you said this cup was unusable, you should have told me beforehand! Instead of accusing me of bringing the wrong cup! Because I'm just an elementary school student!"

　That makes a lot of sense...

　That is, if we ignore the "cup" that Nagashima Koki is holding, which is covered with scale lines.

　"Why would a normal elementary school student use a measuring cup to drink water? There's a perfectly normal cup right next to them, clearly meant for drinking water."

　The doctor shouted this, then took a deep breath and reflected on himself: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have put all the containers together... After all, they're just elementary school students, after all, they're just elementary school students."

　"..." Nagashima Koki completely agreed. She put the measuring cup back and picked up a normal glass: "That's right!"

　After all, Nagashima Koki had just grabbed a cup casually.

　"indeed."

　As the doctor said this, he casually pulled over a whiteboard with a serious expression and said, "Next, I'm going to give you some science knowledge!"

　Commonly known as...

　"Huh? Class is starting?!"

　Nagashima Koki exclaimed in surprise.

　"Huh? Class is starting?"

　Xiao Cui tilted her head curiously.

　……

　In response to the two little girls' different reactions, the doctor said seriously, "I'll go find some basic books and give you a lesson... Do you want to listen too?"

　Xiao Cui nodded to indicate that she could.

　Nagashima Koki cleverly raised her hand and said, "I won't listen together. I'll wait for Koki outside."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　doctor:"……"

　In the silence, the doctor shook his head, shattering Nagashima Koki's illusions: "After the lesson, I will conduct an assessment."

　Nagashima Koki: "NO!"

　NO is of no use!

　-

　"..." When the doctor held up the quiz report, the results made her fall into deep thought... because they were too outrageous.

　It's not that Nagashima Koki was completely wrong...

　Although she did look gloomy and didn't seem to like studying, her learning ability was still quite outstanding.

　Nagashima Koki is also a very smart child.

　What's outrageous is Xiao Cui.

　"..." The doctor's teaching was a bit more difficult than popular science chemistry knowledge. It was roughly from the textbook's "What is chemistry?" to the level of "Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom..."

　As a result, Xiao Cui memorized everything... all in just one class period.

　You're amazing! A perfect score!

　This child is already quite extraordinary in Japan, reminding the doctor of those so-called child prodigies.

　"Have you joined the group? I mean, the kind where you sign a training agreement?"

　The doctor asked this question, and Nagashima Koki interrupted, saying, "I joined! I joined! I signed up."

　The doctor gave her a look of disgust that hurt Nagashima Nozomi, then looked at Xiao Cui and said, "Do you have a legal guardian? You can have your guardian come to the company to see them and sign a contract."

　Xiao Cui shook her head, indicating that she had not yet joined.

　However, there are legal guardians.

　"Strictly speaking... there are host families."

　Xiao Cui said this, but then she shook her head with a smile: "However, I don't want everyone to know that I've come to the company."

　The doctor took a sip of coffee and looked at Xiao Cui with a questioning gaze... However, she could probably guess why.

　It's likely that Xiao Cui came here without her family's knowledge, and her family had never been in contact with the mortals on the inside. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

　"Because my guardian is Cong Yuge"

　"My brothers and the others."

　"..."

　"puff!!!"

　The doctor sprayed out his coffee.

　Chapter 286 The Correspondence Between Dreams and Techniques

　Quack! Wow! Ah!

　No! No way! This is Cong Yu's child... This guy is Cong Yu's child!!

　Xiao Cui's full name is probably Cong Cui... No!!!

　(Snowflakes are falling - the north wind is howling)

　"..." Wait a minute, didn't this child say she was "Kazuki Rusui"? It shouldn't be something like taking her mother's surname.

　Guardian...?

　The doctor calmed down, looked at Xiao Cui in front of him, and finally understood the general situation. He said, "So you are one of the magical girls who lived with Cong Yu?"

　Seeing is believing, you're so cute!

　Hmm, she is indeed cute.

　No wonder Cong Yu couldn't forget the magical girl in her family.

　Before Xiao Cui could answer the doctor's question, Yongdao Xiaoxi exclaimed in shock, "Eh? Xiao Cui, you're a magical girl?"

　Xiao Cui nodded in agreement.

　Nagashima Koki was somewhat surprised. She wondered... why all the people she had encountered lately were either weirdos or magical girls.

　Could she be the legendary protagonist?!

　Brave Nagashima Nozomi! Gathering companions with the Serpent Demon (Cong Yu) and the Righteous Knight (Xiao Cui), she becomes an apprentice to the old mage (the doctor)!

　He is destined to save the world's mouth and teeth single-handedly!

　Thinking of this, Nagashima Koki couldn't help but feel smug.

　This drew the attention of the doctor and Xiao Cui... because neither of them, who were both of sound mind, could figure out what she was laughing about.

　The doctor looked at Xiao Cui but didn't react much.

　Although many magical girls instinctively regard monsters as enemies upon seeing them, and then shout "Monster! Monster, fight!"

　Conversely, the monster group has a more conciliatory attitude towards magical girls... well, at least the 22nd group and the doctor himself are more conciliatory.

　Didn't you see that Red is a magical girl too...?

　"I remember Cong Yu's identity was kept from you. So you guessed it, and then still chose to come to the group to check things out?"

　The doctor asked this question with a curious expression, finding Xiao Cui's choice quite interesting.

　Generally speaking, if a magical girl discovers the headquarters of a monster group, she would usually choose to report it to the authorities... or confess to Murasame or something similar.

　At worst, I'll just keep it as a secret in my heart.

　Why did we choose to come here peacefully?

　"Yes, I want to see with my own eyes, to look with my own eyes, and then make a choice before getting an answer."

　Xiao Cui spoke earnestly, gazing intently at the doctor, saying, "That's why I need to keep it from Brother Cong Yu, because the only person who can calmly judge everything from 'my' perspective is me."

　"..." It's remarkable, a calmness that doesn't seem to suit someone this age.

　The doctor couldn't help but make this judgment. She stared at Xiao Cui for a moment... and then saw a sense of distance in Xiao Cui's face.

　That's an observer's perspective.

　Just like a camera, it quietly observes everything it sees, including the actress named "Xiao Cui," who is actually her true self.

　Because judging Cong Yu's existence would make her heart lean towards Cong Yu... so she simply distanced herself from Cong Yu during the observation.

　This child is indeed closer to Cong Yu.

　Because she didn't seem worried that the existence of her friend, Nagashima Koki, would affect her observation activities.

　"You will become an amazing magical girl in the future."

　The doctor asserted this.

　Because magic is a very subjective thing, the higher a person's thinking and awareness, the more magic will respond accordingly.

　This does not refer to a person's thoughts or even ideology, nor does it distinguish between right and wrong, or between high and low.

　As long as there is determination, that determination will burn brightly.

　Just like loading emotions and loading resolve.

　At this moment, the doctor was unaware that Xiao Cui's procedure involved small sprites that could function as surveillance cameras and pierce the "judge" with long spears.

　Otherwise, one would surely marvel at how techniques truly reflect the human heart.

　Xiao Cui is precisely such a judge.

　“That’s impressive. You can work with me from now on, along with Nagashima Koki… But your heart is clearly not in research; you lack curiosity.”

　As he said this, the doctor rested his chin on his hand, looked at Xiao Cui, and smiled: "I'll teach you how to fight... Actually, I used to be Cong Yu's combat instructor—"

　After all, the doctor's theoretical knowledge was quite good, and he was also able to teach Cong Yu how to use magic based on his experience.

　Of course, when a real fight breaks out...

　Even without using magic, Cong Yu was enough to beat the newly modified monster to a pulp... perhaps it was a fighting skill he honed in Europe.

　At the time, the doctor confidently wanted to spar with Cong Yu. He was immediately stunned by a single punch and then locked to the ground by a joint lock, unable to move.

　The then-naive Cong Yu thought the doctor and the snow woman were monsters of the same level, so he used all his strength.

　What a sad story.

　but……

　The doctor is now very curious to know what will happen when Cong Yu finds out about her.

　What kind of expressions do magical girls make when their subordinates are doing their bidding?

　They lie and deceive everywhere.

　He hides the fact that he's the king from everyone in the group, and he hides the fact that he's a weirdo from the magical girls. The tables have turned!

　Let you experience what it feels like to be kept in the dark.
