Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Well, it's hard to say.

　In short, it's hard to say.

　-

　"Here I come... Oops!"

　As Cong Yu said this, she pushed open the door to the doctor's office and immediately saw Xiao Cui lying on the operating table with her eyes closed.

　Xiao Cui was there too... but why is she lying on the operating table?

　Cong Yu was genuinely startled. She looked at the rabbit-like man with bandages around his neck, then at the doctor fiddling with the computer: "What happened to Xiao Cui?"

　The doctor shook his head regretfully at Cong Yu's words and sighed, "You'll know if you check Xiao Cui's breathing."

　What's going on with "!!!"?

　Cong Yu panicked a little on the spot, reached under Xiao Cui's nose, and then opened her mouth wide in shock... She was not breathing!

　It's out of breath?!

　"For...wait, no, that's not right."

　Before she could even ask the question, Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, then seemed to understand: "Your attitude was wrong, and the tone you used when you called me to your office was also wrong... So this is your second matter?"

　It's probably some kind of drug that induces a state of suspended animation.

　Xiao Cui and the doctor teamed up to scare him.

　"..."

　"Tsk..."

　The doctor clicked his tongue in annoyance and said, "Xiao Cui told me 'Brother Cong Yu could guess it,' and I was skeptical... but you seem to be much more rational than I thought."

　That's not actually the case; it's just that the doctor's behavior proved that she was actually more naive than she imagined herself to be.

　As the doctor spoke, Cong Yu's magic gradually revealed Xiao Cui's condition... she indeed had little chance of survival.

　The heart stopped beating, the blood stopped flowing, and there was no breathing.

　From a conventional perspective, this would probably mean he's already dead.

　"Xiao Cui is a magical girl after all. If you're going to say Xiao Cui is dead, you should at least point to her headless and heartless corpse when you say that, right?"

　As he spoke, Cong Yu sensed the unusually strong and suppressed magical power within Xiao Cui's body, the power that sustained her life within her heart...

　That's when I truly felt relieved.

　"I'm not someone who gets flustered by concern."

　As Cong Yu said this, she withdrew her hand, glanced at the blinking rabbit-man, and was unsure of what she should do first.

　However, after thinking about it, I decided to reprimand the doctor first.

　"However, what you're doing is really scary..."

　As she said this, Cong Yu reached out and pinched the back of the doctor's neck, pulling the skin until it turned red: "Don't make jokes like that next time."

　"..."

　"Quack! Let go of me!"

　The doctor shouted, slapping Cong Yu's hand away, then chuckled, "Isn't it all because of that guy Hong... If we fake our death, maybe we can fool fate."

　May I?

　Cong Yu had some doubts about this.

　The doctor then began to talk about the rabbit man, saying, "The rabbit man has been saying lately that he's had bad luck, often getting injured by suddenly exploding light bulbs, and all sorts of strange attacks... but there haven't been any big truck collisions."

　The rabbit-man nodded vigorously in agreement.

　The rabbit ears on her head are swaying back and forth... If she were a loli or a young girl, she would look very cute.

　But her body is that of a genuine hot bunny girl.

　So it just looks like a timid bird.

　"I rewatched the animation of the previous attack on the group by the reverse family line... so we can roughly deduce what the rabbit boy's original fate was."

　As he said this, the doctor gave a general description: "He won't die, but he will suffer extremely serious injuries and will need a long time to recover."

　So that's how it is. If Cong Yu hadn't come to the rescue, and instead Hong had, then Hong wouldn't have had time to completely save Rabbit Man.

　It can be saved, but not completely.

　Can it be saved? Only a tiny bit can be saved...

　"..." But Cong Yu knew that what followed was the key.

　"So, I attacked Rabbit Man and severely injured him, and announced to everyone that Rabbit Man was seriously injured and needed a long period of rest and vacation before healing him."

　The doctor looked at the rabbit-like man with bandages around his neck and said, "Then, fate seemed to let her go."

　The doctor surmised that fate might not be such a rigorous thing, but rather something that can be easily deceived... or rather, fate doesn't care about deception.

　Just like checkpoints in a racing game...

　As long as you pass through each visible or invisible checkpoint and finally reach the destination, the system doesn't really care about your process.

　Fate seems to be the same... it just wants the outcome that "the rabbit man is seriously injured and needs to recuperate".

　Whether or not one truly needs rest, and whether the injuries have fully healed, is something fate simply doesn't care about.

　In other words...

　"You think Hong could try faking her death? And then use Xiao Cui as a test subject?"

　As Cong Yu said this, he glanced at Xiao Cui, who was being used as a test subject... He finally couldn't hold back anymore.

　Cong Yu stood behind the doctor with her fists clenched, her index fingers pressed against the petite doctor's temples.

　doctor:"……"

　"Cong Yu, what are you doing?"

　The doctor, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, asked this question, while Cong Yu's face had become incredibly resolute and sharply defined: "You are... dead!"

　Doctor: "N-Nani?!"

　"I'll drill! Drill, drill, drill!"

　"Oooooooo-"

　"..." The rabbit-man, unable to bear watching, turned his head away, indicating that he knew nothing, saw nothing, and remembered nothing.

　Rabbit Man doesn't know—

　Chapter 394 Dalang Takes Medicine

　Fate may be deceiving, or to be more precise, as the doctor said—in fact, the appeal of fate is, in a sense, superficial.

　So-called destiny does not require a long-term and predetermined state.

　If fate were a merchant, all she would want would be the process of "Hehehe, buy one, I guarantee there won't be any empty."

　Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.

　As for what happens to the goods afterward, or whether the money it received was snatched back on the spot, it's not really a matter of fate.

　Rabbit men are a good example.

　Fate seems to demand only two things—

　1. Recovering from serious injuries

　2. Claiming to be cultured

　"..." Apart from that, whether the serious injuries were healed, and whether he really stayed in the hospital to recuperate... fate didn't care.

　The doctor's example was also quite apt.

　Just like a checkpoint in a video game, once the person being chased passes the checkpoint, they're done.

　This shows that the doctor truly deserves to be called a doctor.

　As a science geek, although I don't understand what fate is, I can still gradually deduce the mechanism from the phenomena.

　But even so...

　"Bang Bang Bang!"

　Cong Yu tapped the doctor's head, while the little doctor curled up on the sofa, pouting with a wronged look on his face: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me."

　If you keep hitting the child, he'll become mentally impaired.

　Xiao Cui, who had recovered from her apparent death, sat to the side and spoke up for the doctor: "Brother Cong Yu—"

　Xiao Cui's soft and sweet voice earned her an approving look from the doctor... Yes, she should plead for her properly.

　After all, today's "scare the rain" plan was provided by Xiao Cui.

　The doctor was merely a accomplice, a mere colluder, and at best an accessory! He should definitely be treated leniently.

　Then, Xiao Cui spoke up—

　You hit the doctor

　"Then you can't hit me, okay?!"

　"..." Doctor: "!@#JPY%……&"

　While the doctor remained speechless, Cong Yu looked at Xiao Cui and gave her a light tap on the head... a tiny tap.

　"It won't happen again."

　Despite Cong Yu's warning, Xiao Cui blinked, feeling that she had escaped a disaster, and began to falsely accuse the doctor: "It was all the doctor's doing!"

　Cong Yu, with a smile, looked at the doctor who had her mouth agape and reached out to rub her head: "Is that so?"

　doctor:"……"

　Why are they treating us differently?! Protest! Protest!

　The doctor held his head, his mouth twisted in a menacing "restrained" manner: "I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have found Xiao Cui and Xiao Xi as my assistants!"

　That's not how you should put it.

　Our lives are long enough; don't casually talk about eight lifetimes.

　"Speaking of which, where's Nagashima Koki?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, but it was actually unnecessary. Xiao Cui answered the question with an obvious answer: "Going to school."

　Ah, that's true.

　Cong Yu, an active male high school student, actually forgot that today was a school day... It can only be said that he has been taking a lot of leave lately.

　There's no one else who's gone this far as a student.

　Cong Yu couldn't help but smile, looking at the rabbit-like man who was sitting to the side with his eyes downcast: "How are you feeling now?"

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the rabbit-man, who had been covering his eyes with his ears to avoid watching Cong Yu interact with the two lolis, raised his head.

　"Hmm? What I said..."

　The rabbit man recalled that a long time had passed, and his recent severe bad luck had not befallen him.

　The pursuit of fate has indeed vanished.

　Great!

　"It's all over now, and Lord Hong should be able to return to normal."

　Cong Yu shook his head to indicate that he hadn't asked that question, and added, "I meant how badly your injuries are."

　After all, the rabbit man's current injuries were all inflicted by the doctor.

　Cong Yu originally thought that Rabbit Man was injured by the car... but now that she thinks about it, it must have been the doctor's doing. Rabbit Man still has bandages wrapped around his neck.

　"Huh? Are you worried about me?"

　As he said this, the rabbit-man was somewhat flattered and touched the blood-stained white cloth on his neck: "But my injury has long since healed, this is fake."

　Are the bandages fake?

　"A trick to fool fate... though I'm not sure if it even matters."
