Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"I also……"

　Lan Tianzhu raised his hand expressionlessly.

　"..." Ah, this...

　Chapter 396 The Hidden God

　Did you come alone tonight?

　"Yes, I want to find a quiet place to relax."

　How about you? How have you been lately?

　"This is bad; the Vatican is unwilling to budge."

　In the quiet bar, the patrons' hushed conversations were as gentle as a drizzle, sometimes like whispers, sometimes like secret plots.

　In this dimly lit bar, the lights flickered faintly, creating a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.

　The guests present all had red eyes and barely visible fangs... There was no doubt that this was a gathering place for vampires.

　This is a place run by the pro-goodwill faction.

　Interestingly, however, there seem to be quite a few "unfriendly" vampires among them... for example, in one corner of the bar, there is a man covered in wounds.

　The man was bowing his head and sipping blood, trying his best to recover from his injuries.

　His face showed exhaustion and anger, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle... but it wasn't just "as if".

　In fact, he did experience a life-or-death struggle.

　At that moment, another vampire walked over; he looked younger than the "non-friendly" vampire.

　The man sat down next to the wounded vampire and gestured for the bartender to pour him a glass of blood wine... or rather, blood brew.

　“Hey, Damian, you don’t look too good.”

　In response to the other's words, the vampire known as Damian raised his head and said, "It's not that great..."

　Damian sighed as he said this.

　"The church sent people to hunt us down again after the last resistance rally."

　Damian complained, and the "rebels" he referred to were actually radicals, just a nicer way of saying it.

　"This time they sent an entire team of magical girls, and they almost captured me. Luckily, I survived."

　Damian's companion sighed at this.

　The Church has always been ruthless towards vampires who are still active... and in fact, that is absolutely true.

　"These sons of bitches are getting more and more outrageous."

　He sighed at Damian's cursing and said, "Can't you just stop? The thirteen clans are history."

　Damian frowned at his words and said, "History? Who defines it? Humanity?"

　"It's always been like this. Before, it was 'The era of vampires is over,' and now it's 'The thirteen clans are history,' like this?"

　Eric was furious, and he questioned these things: "We must find a way to fight the church, or we will never have a chance to get ahead."

　"..." History... history?"

　"Damian, vampires have no history of their own."

　As he spoke, the goodwill advocate seemed quite emotional, sighing as he stated the undeniable fact: "Neither we nor any other race possess 'our own history.'"

　This is a world belonging to humankind, and the history to be written is naturally also a history belonging to humankind.

　History... The same goes for magical girls.

　In the grand scheme of history, measured on a national or even global scale, the only thing vampires can leave behind is this:

　In XXXX, the fanatical vampires, led by the thirteen clans, were wiped out and have since coexisted with humans. (Examples of such statements follow.)

　Besides that, nothing else will be left behind...

　However, this is already quite good, considering that the bloody era of the past has only left a few traces in history books.

　Although it might sound harsh, he still had to tell his companions, saying, "Let's live in peace with humans... Damian."

　Damian remained silent, a sigh lingering in his eyes. He always felt that living merely to survive was too undesirable.

　He really wanted to do something.

　Because he is a vampire, he always has been, and he always will be.

　Before the two could say anything more, the bar door was pushed open and a young woman walked in.

　He doesn't look like a vampire.

　This place is not one that humans would know about, so it seems somewhat special... but it's not that we can't entertain guests.

　This dark-haired woman, who appears to be of Chinese descent, is quite beautiful; even European vampires could appreciate her.

　"Yo-whoosh—"

　Many vampires immediately started whistling, and the woman who walked in noticed this and immediately tapped the ground beneath her feet.

　Almost instantly, everything was redefined.

　The concepts of seeing and not seeing also began to be rewritten in an instant.

　Soon, the vampires' expressions became stiff and dazed, and then they returned to their own business.

　The woman used one of her brightly colored eyes to look at each of the vampires present.

　He seemed to be scrutinizing something.

　Then, she found what she was looking for... two young vampires talking.

　This woman...

　Okay, to be frank... it's Miss Lin.

　Ms. Lin looked at the other person, observing his "trajectory" and "possibilities," and then, as if no one else was around, she put her hand into the other person's pocket.

　Although they were openly doing something that resembled theft, no one seemed to care.

　It could even be considered a blatant robbery.

　And so, Ms. Lin simply turned on the other person's phone, logged into a separate website, downloaded a document, and then pressed the phone back against the other person's face...

　Throughout this process, the vampire remained completely oblivious.

　It wasn't until the document was shoved right in front of him that he saw what Miss Lin wanted him to see, and he instantly took the phone with great joy.

　Yes, it was received from Miss Lin.

　Even so, he still didn't notice anything amiss.

　"What is this? Huh?! Could this be... something we wanted to obtain during the last operation by the thirteen clans..."

　"..."

　"..." After that, the noise in the bar was no longer relevant to Miss Lin, and she walked out from among the vampires who subconsciously made way for her.

　Ignoring the noise from the bar behind her, Miss Lin peered into the double image visible in her "eyes".

　Alright, now we can let the bloodshed continue.

　Although the number of vampires is less than in their original destiny, the scale and the bloodshed in established history are less.

　But fate doesn't care about that. As long as the bloody disaster occurs, proceeds, and ends normally, fate will treat it as a gradual return to the right track.

　Therefore, it seems that fate is indeed a very easy thing to fool.

　With this thought in mind, Ms. Lin suddenly realized that as a fortune teller, she seemed to have changed after becoming a divine messenger.

　It seems that they have lost their respect for fate.

　But that kind of thing is probably irrelevant now.

　"..." With this thought in mind, Miss Lin drove "Hidden" and stood on the side of the street, feeling the sense of being isolated from the world.

　To be honest, Moirai is a good boss.

　For many, it's merely a ability to "disappear," akin to a "toolbox" distributed by a company.

　That is already enough as a reward for serving God.

　Chapter 397 The Red That Has Always Been Planting Flags

　"Forgive me, Hikaru Yokawa, maybe next time—"

　As Cong Yu spoke, she reached out and touched Yao Chuan Guang's forehead, then left the room with Hong.

　There's no way I could possibly bring Hikaru Yokawa and Nagisa Azuma along on this trip.

　"Ugh! Stingy!"

　Yaochuan Guang protested towards Congyu and Hong, who had walked out of the door, waving his hand and looking indignant: "Congyu, you bad guy!"

　Despite Yaochuan Guang's shouts, Lantian Zhu remained expressionless...

　Lan Tianzhu didn't feel that she had to go... If he agreed, they could go together; if he didn't agree, it didn't matter.

　All I can say is that she's not a clingy puppy.

　"Wang Wang Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

　At that moment, Lan Tianzhu heard the clingy Xiu Gou barking loudly... and contentedly started playing on his phone.

　Then, Lan Tianzhu saw the news push notification.

　This recent news push is like the Grim Reaper.

　The news reports are mostly about terrorist attacks and the like... This year might be the most enjoyable year for news editors, with a big news story every few days.

　It's about both Australia and the Petronas Towers.

　Thinking this, Lan Tianzhu carefully examined the specific push notification content. Then, his consistently calm expression underwent another subtle change.

　Romania has fallen! A bizarre creature known as the "Vampire" has gone on a killing spree again?! The Vatican's magical girls are assembling!

　Another vampire? They're like a persistent ghost.

　-

　"Sigh, isn't it good to have Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu with us?"

　Hong said this with a mocking look on her face... while Cong Yu gave her a disdainful look and didn't say anything.

　Okay? That's great!

　Taking a magical girl to meet a freak emperor? How could you even think of that? Besides, it would be best if Hikaru Yokawa didn't meet Chi You.

　Although Cong Yu wasn't sure if Miss Chi You could see anything, it was always better to avoid things if possible.

　"Don't say things that insult my intelligence!"

　Cong Yu scolded her like that, then sighed and reached out to help Hong smash the flowerpot that had fallen from above her head... It felt like her fate had no chance of survival.

　Aside from falling objects from high places, exploding household appliances, and electrical leaks from machinery, and at most, the impact of a dump truck, there are no other new ways to kill.

　I feel like that's just how fate is.

　(Fate: Holy crap! I can't kill it, what can I do?)

　Just then, Hong's phone beeped with a message. She took it out, glanced at it, and said, "The doctor said she knows, and she'll think of another way... What did she say?"

　Although I could continue to wait and see if the doctor had any other ways to change my fate, I decided against it.

　"There's no need to say anything more. Let's go directly to Rabbit Man to check on your situation and confirm whether you're alright."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu gradually conceived her plan, saying, "Then I'll take you directly to Chi You and let her see your condition... If she can't figure it out either, then I'll have her begin the operation."

　The way he said it made it sound as if Cong Yu could command the emperor.

　Hong had never met an emperor in her life, and didn't know if Emperor Chiyou was easy to get along with. However, this attitude made Hong somewhat suspicious...

　Surely Cong Yu wouldn't have an affair with His Majesty the Emperor?

　Um... it shouldn't be that bad... right?

　It's hard to say what will happen.

　However, she didn't press the matter further, but instead asked specifically, "What operation? What are your plans?"
