Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Unlike the 22nd Group, which is a close-knit and loving group, many of the eccentric groups have rather cold relationships between each other.

　It's strange that the executives don't know each other's names, but it's not entirely uncommon... She wasn't sure what the Spider Monster's executives' names were either.

　It seems to be something like "three".

　"you……"

　The Naga monster spoke, then realized what the other person was saying: "What?! You're saying my sister isn't dead?"

　As she said this, a glimmer of hope shone in her eyes.

　"correct."

　The little boy nodded casually and said calmly, "Do you need any help? I can offer a little assistance."

　"..." Upon hearing the man's words, the Naga monster immediately sensed something was wrong: "Wait, you are... what was your name again?"

　Amidst the Naga monster's question, the young boy immediately pointed helplessly to himself: "0451, Naga, you didn't even remember your companion's name?"

　They're just colleagues, not really companions.

　Oh right, it was called 0451... Because it was a very special number code, it actually left a relatively deep impression on her compared to her other companions.

　But what does this number mean?

　Seeing the Naga monster's expression, 0451 immediately asked, "You're curious... about the special meaning of my name, right?"

　"..." Indeed, it seems I've been seen through.

　"Do you know a video game from 1994 called System Shock? The game is set in 2072."

　As 0451 spoke, shaking his finger, he explained to the bewildered Naga monster, "This is a story of 'dystopia' and 'cyberpunk'... and 0451 is the code to this game."

　What the hell?

　The Naga monster looked disgusted and seemed completely uninterested in the story behind it; all she wanted now was to rescue her sister.

　So when this former colleague came to help me.

　Her answer was, of course, yes.

　but……

　"I have two questions. First, how did you know that my sister wasn't dead, but just in the 22nd Group?"

　As she said this, the Naga monster displayed an unexpected level of calm thinking, as 0451 had anticipated. She said—

　"Also, I hope you can tell me why you're helping me? We don't seem to have any connection."

　To this, 0451 smiled slightly, spread her hands cutely, and said, "Do these things matter? I can assure you I didn't lie to you..."

　That's quite true.

　Whether her sister is dead or not, she will always seek trouble with the 22nd Group... whether it's for revenge or to save them.

　"As for why I'm helping you... in fact, helping you is also helping myself, because there are things I want to see in the 22nd Group."

　"..."

　"what?"

　The Naga monster looked at the little boy in front of her and asked him this question, but she had already decided to cooperate with him.

　0451 didn't genuinely want to help himself.

　But his goal is the same as mine, both of us are in the 22nd Group, so it doesn't matter if I trust him for now and fight alongside him.

　"Something you wouldn't be interested in..."

　As he spoke so casually, the male monster exchanged a glance with the Naga monster, then sighed, "Alright, I'll explain it more clearly."

　“I have something I must witness, someone I must meet… and that person is my sister, who is now the head of the 22nd Group.”

　"I am willing to give everything for this."

　0451 said this, speaking of things he didn't really understand, and gently raised his head: "Let's cooperate?"

　As he spoke, a dozen or so people silently emerged from the shadows.

　There were humans and strange people among them...

　They were all wearing hoods, and on the brims of the hoods were symbols with two arrows, one pointing upwards and the other downwards.

　Glossy—

　【↑↓】

　"they are?"

　The Naga monster asked this question, and then 0451 smiled and said, "Just some small fry... I'm constantly increasing the number of small fry myself."

　"They are cannon fodder, just to draw attention when we infiltrate the 22nd Group someday in the future."

　"Give me some time so I can gather more than 10,000 people."

　Upon hearing 0451's words, the Naga monster hesitated for a moment: "Shouldn't we charge in from the front?"

　0451:"……"

　Naga: "..."

　Under 0451's look of utter disbelief, the Naga monster seemed to realize that he had asked a stupid question.

　Indeed, for the two of them, infiltrating in this way was the best option.

　After all, the only thing the Naga monster needs to do is save his sister... revenge and such have to take a backseat.

　And the other party seems to feel the same way.

　Then there's nothing to hesitate about!

　“You’re looking for your sister, and so am I… so it seems like this collaboration is feasible.”

　As she said this, the Naga monster still raised her question: "However, according to what you said... your sister is the leader of the 22nd Group, so why don't you go and see her directly?"

　"..."

　"Because I'm going to kill her."

　As he said this, 0451 sighed softly. He said seriously, "Then I will resurrect her, then kill her, then resurrect her again... I want to witness something that transcends the limits of the family line, something that transcends the origins of the Shun Ni family."

　"..." To be honest, Naga didn't quite understand, but she could make out that the other person and her sister didn't have a good relationship.

　Unlike me, I only feel sorry for the mermaid sister—

　Chapter 289 Of course, I choose to forgive him.

　[Doctor: Cong Yu is here, don't come.]

　【Katsuki Rusui: OK.】

　"..."

　What are you fiddling with?

　Cong Yu asked curiously, watching the doctor sitting in front of the computer fiddling with his phone: "Using your phone instead of a computer? That's rare."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, the doctor shoved his phone back into his pocket and then corrected Cong Yu's statement: "First of all, I was having work-related communication, and secondly... I wasn't playing on the computer before, but doing work."

　"..." Cong Yu looked at the doctor with a speechless expression, without making any judgments, and simply asked, "What work-related communication... Does anyone in our group use a mobile phone to transmit work information?"

　Cong Yu knew very well that the BOSS didn't have any doctor friends on his phone... because the BOSS only used his phone for playing games.

　Is it a large or small shadow?

　That has nothing to do with the doctor's field of work.

　“It’s Red… She said the Penicillium I gave her seems to be missing, and asked me to give her another box. She also asked if it was okay that the student stole and ate the Panacea.”

　The doctor said this, then shrugged and said, "She said she wasn't sure why it disappeared; maybe the dog ate it."

　Cong Yu was a little surprised by what the doctor said.

　The panacea... was eaten by a dog?

　Did Hong see it with her own eyes... or did she just make it up?

　It must have been said casually, right?

　So what will it become? An invincible Super Dog? A Super Dog, huh?

　"So what will happen?"

　Cong Yu followed the doctor who had picked up a scalpel and walked out of the office, casually asking, "Will it mutate into a zombie dog?"

　"..." Oh no, because he claimed he wanted to study viruses, now whenever Cong Yu mentions experimental accidents or incidents, he associates them with terrible things.

　"Of course not. The purpose of a panacea is to cure diseases. If you are not sick when you take it, then it is just a sweet and greasy pill."

　As he said this, the doctor explained to Cong Yu, "Moreover, strictly speaking, the current panacea can only be considered Panacea-One."

　"I'll call it the 'panacea generation,' or even the 'miracle drug.' Because it can't cure serious diseases or reverse the state of cells."

　"Therefore, it can only be used for external injury repair, internal injury treatment, cold and diarrhea, dizziness and fever, delaying aging, and restoring male virility."

　Upon hearing the doctor's words, Cong Yu revealed a puzzled expression, and he couldn't help but complain, "What, is there such a thing as regaining one's virility?"

　As the doctor walked with Cong Yu in the experimental area, he quietly asked, "Do you need it? You're always hanging out with magical girls, it's time to replenish your energy. Be careful not to deplete your body."

　"..." Magical girls again? Magical girls again?!

　"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, doctor."

　Speaking in such an annoyed tone, Cong Yu sighed and patted the doctor's head: "Besides, I haven't done anything yet. I'm way past the age of being timid."

　Doctor: "You'd better be."

　Cong Yu: Annoying!

　"Look at the way you talk to an adult! A little girl should behave like a little girl!"

　As Cong Yu said this, she ruffled the doctor's hair into a mess.

　Doctor: Annoying!

　"..." The two, both looking annoyed, stared at each other. Then, the doctor seemed to realize something and his expression suddenly froze. He looked at Cong Yu and asked, "What do you mean by 'past the age of being a jerk'?"

　Has Cong Yu ever shivered before?

　Could it be that he had a very chaotic private life in the past?!

　Don’t do that kind of thing!

　"Hmm? After all, I'm not exactly young anymore..."

　This was Cong Yu's answer, but that wasn't what the doctor wanted to know. For the first time, she became interested in Cong Yu's past private life.

　"Cong Yu, how many ex-girlfriends have you had?"

　When the doctor posed a question similar to "How many girlfriends did Sun Wukong have?", Cong Yu couldn't help but reminisce.

　I reminisced about the past...

　Or perhaps it was a recollection of the future.

　In this age of entertainment to the death, the concepts of girlfriends and boyfriends have become obsolete, and even the boundaries between desires have become blurred.

　Desire to kill, lust, laziness, appetite, desire to play games...

　These things are almost equal.

　In an era where nothing is forbidden, don't expect much from Cong Yu, this Federal prince from 2150.

　So keep yourself clean and virtuous.

　It's impossible for him to be morally upright at least at the age of eighteen.

　After turning thirty, I became more focused... and became more engrossed in injecting various kinds of knowledge, such as ancient common sense and ACG history.

　Moreover, after arriving in this world, he was rather indifferent to worldly affairs... mainly because everything was rather boring and there was nothing worth caring about.

　However, to say whether it exists or not, it does exist.

　"Um……"

　Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, then confessed to the doctor, "As for lovers, I had one... but he has already passed away."

　"!!!"
