Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"it's okay no problem."

　With cold sweat dripping down his forehead, Cong Yu looked at Xiao Ying, who was all smiles beside him, and comforted Zongzheng Ximei with lingering fear: "You can continue, you don't need to worry about me."

　After being comforted by Congyu, Zongzheng Yimei stopped apologizing and began to seriously fiddle with the cocktail shakers.

　The drink from Cong Yudian is called "Blackberry Special," made by mixing champagne, syrup, and lemon juice and pouring it into a glass filled with crushed ice.

　Then drizzle with some blackberry liqueur, and finally garnish with blackberries and mint leaves. It looks beautiful and has a low alcohol content.

　It's a cocktail with very low alcohol content, so you won't taste much alcohol in your mouth... to avoid getting nagged by Yaochuan Guang when you get home tonight.

　Sigh, even though we're not married yet, he's already prematurely transitioned into being afraid of his wife. It's truly remarkable.

　But there's no need to worry about it so much...

　After that, I'll go take a bath at Saint King's place.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Zongzheng Ximei skillfully poured the chopped ingredients into the cocktail shaker, gently shaking it to mix the various components thoroughly.

　They seem quite skilled; at least they look quite professional.

　Xiaoying watched Zongzheng Ximei's every move with admiration in her eyes, probably because she thought she was learning very quickly...

　Then, Yoshimi Munemasa carefully poured the prepared cocktail into a stemmed glass and gently sprinkled a layer of sugar on top.

　Then I searched for a long time but couldn't find blueberries in the ingredients.

　After hesitating for a moment, Munemasa Yoshimi casually picked up a strawberry, handed it to Cong Yu, and coughed lightly, saying, "Please enjoy."

　Cong Yu looked up at the blueberry basket placed behind Zongzheng Ximei's head...

　Well, aside from the rice noodles, the strawberries are pretty good too.

　It's good that you can get fruit in Japan.

　Taking a sip of his drink, Cong Yu looked at Zongzheng Ximei, whose face was filled with anticipation. He nodded and gave a positive response: "It's pretty good."

　In response, Yoshimi Munemasa gave a typical high school student's reaction—she smiled shyly and said nothing more.

　Of course, Cong Yu doesn't need to pay for drinking.

　This is what cadres are like!

　Theodore, who was standing next to her, also ordered a drink, reached into her pocket, pulled out a banknote, and handed it to her without even looking at it: "The extra is for your tip."

　This... is what a rich woman looks like!

　Xiaoying scoffed at Cong Yu's words, "Don't you even know who taught you that... So, what brings you here today?"

　"..." To this, Cong Yu didn't say anything like "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" He simply stated his purpose: "Give me a clone, and I'll take you to Europe to meet your people."

　"..." Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Xiao Ying was suddenly stunned: "My kin... what do you mean? You mean other monsters?"

　Here, Xiaoying is not referring to ordinary monsters, but rather to monsters like herself that have taken on human form.

　"Yes, it would take a long time to explain... Never mind, I'll explain it to you slowly, there's no rush anyway."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu propped herself up at the bar, drinking her wine while recounting the whole story to Xiao Ying.

　Xiaoying was clear about some of it; Congyu mainly talked about the monsters after they arrived in Europe and the agreement he made with the Saint King.

　And there's that prophecy about the Demon King [Light Night].

　At this point, Cong Yu couldn't help but ask Xiao Ying a question: "So, in the monster language, is the pronunciation of 'Light Night' really 'gurgle gurgle gurgle'?"

　Cong Yu had really wanted to know this before.

　Was it those monsters playing a trick on them...?

　"More or less... After all, you can't expect monsters that only make roaring, gurgling, and snoring noises to have much difference in the pronunciation of their languages."

　Xiaoying responded like that, then realized something and speculated, "So, you want me to spy on them?"

　That's a really harsh way to put it...

　That is indeed the case.

　"I prefer to call it something like 'testimony'."

　As Cong Yu was saying this, the bar door was pushed open, and Dente walked in, dragging large bags and small packages.

　Panting, she handed the things to Therese.

　"Here you go! I've run errands for you and bought all the gems you wanted... I'm exhausted, I'll ask someone else next time!"

　Dente smiled at Dente's words and said, "This is something I'm planning to make into a magical tool. I'll give you one later."

　Upon hearing this, Dente's attitude changed 180 degrees: "Really? Thank you, sister!"

　"..." Cong Yu: Joy—

　……

　"jingle--"

　With the crisp sound of bells, the bar door was pushed open once again, and everyone looked towards the entrance once more.

　then……

　Cong Yu, holding the triangular cup, met Yao Chuan Guang's gaze.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Chapter 293 Xiaoying10086 wants to ship this couple

　Tonight we're having sukiyaki.

　However, the food reserves at home are still lacking some ingredients for a standard sukiyaki... such as konjac and tofu.

　So Yaochuan Guang would buy some on his way home from school.

　"Xiao Guang, are you here to buy groceries again?"

　Inside the supermarket, a familiar housewife struck up a conversation with Yaochuan Guang, who also inexplicably possessed the air of a housewife.

　"Yes, Auntie."

　Yao Chuan Guang responded politely, smiling as he addressed the housewife... They weren't actually very close; they had only met a few times.

　However, I often see this supermarket when I'm buying groceries.

　What should I buy today?

　The housewife asked curiously.

　"I want to make sukiyaki, so I'll buy some tofu and stock up on other ingredients while I'm at it... What about you, Auntie?"

　As Yaochuan Guang made this remark, he picked up a box of tofu.

　"Make curry..."

　The housewife said with a smile, her face beaming, "Your family is so lucky; you can cook at such a young age."

　Faced with the praise, Yaochuan Guang didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile awkwardly and shyly and nod slightly.

　Just then, a little boy ran over, grabbed the housewife's hand, and said, "Mommy, I want to eat Häagen-Dazs."

　The woman's expression changed instantly, and she reached out and punched the little boy's forehead repeatedly: "Häagen-Dazs, all you know is Häagen-Dazs!"

　"Whaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

　The little boy screamed and ran away, while the housewife chased after him and beat him.

　"Hahaha……"

　Yao Chuan Guang watched this farce, smiled sheepishly, and then his expression turned melancholy... Family?

　Her family... are already gone.

　"..." However, as always, the emotion called "sorrow" did not linger in Yaochuan Guang's heart for long.

　This melancholy only lasted until Yaochuan boarded the tram, because there was nothing left to worry about.

　She has now found a new family.

　Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang was tapping on his phone when he noticed something... It was an acquaintance wearing red.

　D? Isn't that Senior D?

　Yaochuan Guang noticed Dente standing at the tram exit, carrying a large number of bags that almost obscured his figure.

　Dente, who previously fought alongside Hikaru and the others against vampires, is now riding the train with them.

　That's strange, didn't she go back to China?

　Why are we in Fengdu again?

　Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang watched Dente get off the bus. After pondering and hesitating for a moment, she also got off the bus.

　Could it be that there are vampires in Fengdu again?

　With this in mind, the responsible Hikaru Yokawa felt he couldn't just ignore the winds of tomorrow.

　However, when Dente pushed open the door to a bar, Hikaru Yokawa, who was carrying ingredients, felt that he might have misunderstood.

　Dente probably just came to Fengdu for fun.

　Judging from her appearance, she's not some innocent magical girl; it's probably normal for her to frequent bars and such.

　"……"but……

　"..." Perhaps it was due to a keen sense of smell, or intuition, a sixth sense, or the instinct of the person named "Yaochuan Guang".

　For some reason, she always felt...

　I felt it necessary to go in and find out for myself.

　Yaochuan Guang stared at the deserted bar entrance where Dente had disappeared, a sense of uncertainty creeping into his heart…

　She glanced at the ingredients in her hand, then looked in the direction of the bar, feeling that inexplicable guidance deep within her heart.

　Finally, she gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and went over.

　He reached out and pushed open the bar door.

　"jingle--"

　Accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, Yaochuan Guang looked ahead... and then his eyes met Congyu's.

　He glanced around.

　Dancing, drinking...

　They're all weirdos.

　-

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Wait a minute! What's going on here?!

　Cong Yu, holding a triangular wine glass, was a little stunned, completely not expecting Yao Chuan Guang to be here... Did he sense the dispelling barrier at the bar entrance?

　No, that possibility is unlikely.

　Moreover, more than this, more than "why," the question Cong Yu needs to think about now is... what to do?

　What should he do?

　Cong Yu was filled with countless thoughts...

　Should I put on the mask right away?

　No matter how I think about it, it won't work... We've already been staring at each other for a while.

　So, should I pretend to be a weirdo disguised as Congyu?

　No way! That would be too embarrassing.

　Although Yaochuan Guang is a fool, he is not mentally challenged. There is no way he could have gotten away with this method.

　"..." Confess!

　At times like this, the only option is to be honest.
