Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　However, Kurenai probably had no reason to go to the Kannabi Bridge, and given her reaction speed, she could easily have knocked the boulder away.

　"Hmm, ha!"

　Hongxia Hong stretched, seemingly unconcerned about the coincidences that had nearly killed her: "Ah, school starts soon."

　Upon hearing what Ms. Hong said, Yaochuan Guang's face immediately fell: "Ugh... I have to go to school again."

　People who enjoy learning do exist.

　However, it is clear that Yaochuan Guang is not that kind of person. Her insistence on going to school stems from her parents' past wishes.

　That's all.

　"There's only one year left. Things will be much easier after I get to university... At least I can guarantee that life at Fengdu University will be very easy."

　Cong Yu reassured Yao Chuan Guang, saying simply, "However, Fuuto University is still quite far from home... Should we consider renting a bigger house then?"

　Lan Tianzhu immediately offered her opinion, saying, "You can buy it; I've already saved up a lot of money."

　Lan Tianzhu, who had already given up on buying a house in Central City, felt it was time to use her savings to buy one.

　Buy a house closer to Fengdu University.

　Waiting for Xiaoguang and Congyu to graduate

　Afterwards, everyone can move back and rent out the house near the university.

　Soon she'll be able to live the life of a landlady!

　"Ah, I'd like to live with you too."

　As Hong spoke, she raised her hand.

　"..." No, you're just here to teach me techniques, so have some self-awareness as a guest... But we definitely can't send Hong away now.

　"Once we get rid of the... curse on you."

　Cong Yu said irritably, and let's call this "targeting of the world" a curse: "After this is resolved, you can go back to your own home obediently."

　Upon hearing this, Hong immediately lay down.

　"I don't want to! I don't want to!!"

　Hong cried out in a spoiled manner, squirming on the sofa, and then grabbed the nearest Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, let me stay!"

　Seeing Xiao Cui's disgusted expression, Hong realized she had approached the wrong person to plead with. So she looked pleadingly at Lan Tianzhu, "Junior! Junior!"

　In response, Lan Tianzhu chewed on the candy in her mouth, shrugged, and said calmly, "I don't participate in decision-making, nor do I offer any opinions... I abstain from voting."

　"..."

　"Yaochuan Guang! Yaochuan! Yaochuan-kun!"

　Hong reached out and placed a hand on Yaochuan Guang's shoulder, massaging it for her: "Let me stay! I'll pick you up and drop you off at school—"

　"..."

　"Well……"

　Yao Chuanguang hesitated, not because he was tempted by Hong's offer of "pick-up and drop-off to and from school"... after all, the journey wasn't far.

　Or rather, commuting by car is actually more troublesome.

　The main reason was that Hong's current appearance, begging others and wanting to stay at home, made Yaochuan Guang feel a little soft-hearted.

　"Congyu-chan, since Teacher Hong has said so, let's keep her here... Anyway, there are plenty of rooms upstairs and downstairs, it's fine."

　Yaochuan Guang pleaded for Hong's life.

　"..." Cong Yu knew there were many rooms, but his room and bed were already a bit overloaded... There were four rooms downstairs! Only one room was occupied at night!!!

　"Given the current population density, even if ten more people came, they could still sleep comfortably, but the problem is..."

　Cong Yu said this while rubbing Yao Chuan Guang's head, but in the end he didn't say anything... What he wanted to say was the same as what Lan Tian Zhu expressed in his eyes.

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Blue Sky Shore: There's almost not enough Rain to go around, Hikaru, you need to be more careful...

　Chapter 377 Red is about to appear

　"Oh, is it closed?"

　Cong Yu, holding Hong's hand, looked at the closure notice of the fortune-telling shop with some emotion: "It's a pity. I was hoping to see if they could solve your problem."

　Hong looked at the announcement in response to Cong Yu's words.

　"Fengdu Wonderland?"

　Hong muttered to herself, looking at the fortune-telling shop in front of her. She glanced at Cong Yu and said, "So what exactly do you want?"

　To be honest, Hong had already sensed something.

　She could practically guarantee that the fortune teller at this fortune-telling shop was definitely a woman, and that she was definitely involved with Cong Yu again.

　To put it nicely, it's about becoming friends with Cong Yu.

　That's why Cong Yu brought her here... probably to have a fortune teller do a divination for her to remove the curse-like bad luck.

　"I hope the other party can give you a fortune reading."

　As she said this, Cong Yu looked at the fortune-telling shop that had already closed down and sighed that there were indeed things like "we made a difficult decision" in this world.

　If I had known they were going to go bankrupt, I should have poached her.

　Uh, no, it shouldn't be that it went bankrupt...

　This fortune-telling shop must have made a lot of money, and judging by the timing, Miss Lin, being Chinese, would be going home for the Chinese New Year around this time.

　In other words, did you return to China?

　I don't know if I'll ever go back to Fengdu.

　Hong clearly had a skeptical attitude towards Cong Yu's words: "Is it reliable? Cong Yu, didn't you always look down on divination and prophecy?"

　Indeed, Cong Yu used to not even believe in fate.

　But it's a pity...

　"I have reasons to accept divination."

　Cong Yu explained, patting Hong on the shoulder, "Didn't you realize that you almost died before?"

　Having said that, Cong Yu, feeling it was necessary to explain things clearly, recounted the whole story from Hong's continuous planting of flags to the attack by the Shunni family... In short, she explained it in general terms.

　Make Hong realize her current situation.

　"So... according to the world's 'normal trajectory,' that time I always felt was ominous was actually my death day?"

　Hong asked, looking somewhat incredulous, "Why...why wouldn't even science fiction use this kind of setting so easily?"

　Confused, Hong found the situation strange. She scratched her head, "But why has the world become 'abnormal'? Everything is proceeding as it should, isn't it? I will survive; this is my destiny..."

　"..." Indeed, so Cong Yu never judged that Hong's "survival" was wrong... because it exists, therefore it is reasonable.

　Everything that exists must have a reason for its existence.

　Cong Yu probably knew what the reason was...

　Because it's very simple, something obvious to a time traveler—the world's progress shouldn't have been affected by this.

　Get involved.

　The rain is the cause of this world's gradual shift toward "abnormality".

　Although he himself did not think there was anything wrong with such a deflection.

　"Anyway, let's go see a doctor now."

　Cong Yu looked at Hong and continued to explain her plan: "Your situation is indeed very dangerous right now... Although those disasters are not a huge threat, they are still a threat. Let's see if the doctor has any solutions."

　Although I don't think doctors have any knowledge of fate.

　The doctor is a science eccentric.

　Fate is something that always seems to be related to the humanities... Unfortunately, even Cong Yu doesn't quite understand it.

　The predetermined future, the promised world, God...

　Are these things connected in any way?

　Cong Yu couldn't help but start thinking about it.

　-

　Cong Yu: "Jili gulu jiili gulu jiili gulu..."

　Doctor: "Huh?"

　Red: "Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle—"

　doctor:"……"

　"what?"

　The bewildered doctor, holding her coffee cup, listened to Cong Yu and Hong's constant use of terms like "fate" and "destiny."

　The doctor didn't know what expression to make.

　"Suck it-"

　After taking a proper sip of the Lao Baijing instant sweet coffee, the doctor finally couldn't resist.

　"Don't say things that insult my intelligence in front of me!"

　Hearing this, the doctor... was enraged!

　"I can accept it if you call it a curse, but the idea of ​​fate... there's no evidence to prove its existence!"

　Cong Yu pondered that she should rephrase the doctor's statement: "Well, just think of it as... the world's corrective force."

　The world needs to gradually correct itself back to normal.

　"..." The doctor found this explanation somewhat acceptable... So, if "nothing went wrong," Hong should be dead, right?

　Therefore, given the current "unexpected situation," the world itself wants to make amends... which means killing Red again.

　Fate is probably like a pre-programmed sequence in a computer, determining the trajectory of everything.

　When this program malfunctions or deviates, the situation described by the two—that Red is being hunted down by the world—will occur.

　Is it like fixing bugs?

　Even so, the doctor was still unsure of the specifics... Although she could understand Cong Yu's explanation, she still felt that the possibility was slim.

　Rather than believing that fate was chasing her, she preferred to believe that Hong was cursed, which was why she kept suffering misfortune.

　However, Cong Yu was unable to detect the curse.

　"I understand. Anyway... Hong, you lie down first."

　As the doctor said this, she gestured for Hong to lie down on the operating table so she could take a good look at what was wrong!

　Hong hesitated, saying, "You're not going to have scalpels flying around here, stabbing me to death on the spot... I almost got killed by the knives hanging in the kitchen."

　doctor:"……"

　Is it so outrageous?

　The doctor pointed to the knives and syringes placed far to the side in a sterile box, giving a silent reply.

　"It's just a check-up, no surgery needed... Lie down."

　The doctor, speaking irritably, shoved Hong onto the operating table.

　Then, before the formal examination even began...

　Almost simultaneously, the three of them suddenly felt a huge roar, seemingly coming from outside the Liangliang Pharmaceutical building.

　But that's not realistic...

　They're on the 22nd floor underground now, not the 22nd floor of the Twin Towers, so it's unlikely a plane will fly over.

　As Cong Yu, Hong, and the doctor looked in the direction from which the sound came, the commotion grew louder and louder...

　Not good.

　"Untie me right now!!!"
