Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　-

　Kangaroo-san could sense that the magical girl standing in front of him possessed a power that was ten or even nine-tenths of what it should be.

　Judging from his breathing, Kangaroo Kangaroo felt his whole body trembling.

　Namo San! What an incredibly powerful aura!

　Even so, Kangaroo-san would not stand idly by and watch its opponent retreat. It watched Yaochuan Guang warily, determined to fight to the death.

　This is the will of the kangaroo!

　"Nice to meet you, I am Hikaru Yokawa."

　In response to Yaochuan Guang's greeting, Kangaroo finally became serious: "Kangaroo kangaroo, kangaroo kangaroo, kangaroo kangaroo (Nice to meet you, Yaochuan Guang-san, I'm Kangaroo Kangaroo!)!"

　Then it's time for a battle, right?

　Yes, the kangaroo knew it was going to fight.

　Fate called it to fight!

　Bathed in the light of countless devices and instruments, Kangaroo knew it was about to go into battle!

　Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight its final battle!

　In an instant, Kangaroo Kangaroo's mind flashed through its entire life like a slideshow... back when it was still in Australia.

　His father, his mother, and his brothers and sisters.

　His lover, his children, and the grass all over the ground... grass, grass, green leaves, green leaves, grassland.

　And all of that, the joyful life on the grasslands—its beloved companions, and the companions who loved it.

　That was love! Absolutely!

　Kangaroo-san felt loved!

　If you can't control love, then let love control it!

　"Kangaroo! Kangaroo!! (Endless kangaroos! Come out!!)"

　Amidst such a roar, Kangaroo Kangaroo's determination seemed to ignite into a tangible flame, carrying a resolute air.

　It's as if you can see it and its kind fighting side by side!

　"Eeya! Kangaroo, kangaroo!"

　"Kangaroo! Kangaroo!"

　Kangaroo Kangaroo is here, this is...

　The last...

　Endless Kangaroos!

　"..." As for the kangaroo that was charging at him with a fierce momentum, Yaochuan Guang tilted his head and felt that the kangaroo opposite him seemed to have a lot of momentum.

　But that's no longer relevant to her...

　"Seven Devours of the Black Cavity!"

　The moment the sword was raised, a small area of ​​darkness instantly enveloped Kangaroo, Yaochuan Guang, and everyone else watching.

　The embarrassing thing is that the measuring instruments were not brought in.

　Fortunately, the doctor had Cong Yu put some of the equipment in the Jormungandr train beforehand, so she could take it out now to collect data.

　Then, in everyone's eyes...

　The kangaroo, which was unusually fierce, was instantly killed by the countless animals that sprang out from the opened black chambers.

　He didn't even have time to let out his signature scream, "Ugh!"

　The mangled kangaroo carcass, just like the demonic bear before it, was torn into pieces and devoured completely.

　"..."

　"What's the name of that kangaroo that keeps calling itself a kangaroo?"

　Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask this question, wondering why the kangaroo seemed so noisy, but everyone shook their heads at her.

　"He might be having a fit of madness..."

　That's what the doctor said.

　Chapter 445 The Unbreakable Empress

　There's an old saying that goes something like this: great power always comes at a price.

　Without a doubt...

　This is bullshit.

　……

　Or rather, this statement is not rigorous and cannot summarize "reasons" in terms of cost.

　That was due to the immaturity of human language, resulting in errors and omissions.

　Instead of defining a force as "powerful" or simply calling it a powerful force, it's better to describe it in a different way...

　That is, "A force is strong because there is a reason why it is strong," that's the correct way to put it.

　It's like comparing someone who has built muscle to an ordinary person who hasn't.

　Assuming the former is stronger than the latter, what is the price the former pays? Probably the time spent training.

　But the word "cost" is too heavy in this context.

　As for Hikaru Yokawa's "Black Cavity Seven Devours" technique, it's a technique that, when applied to a monster, is enough to elevate that monster to the level of a leader.

　The doctor pondered for a moment and studied it for a while...

　It didn't feel like there was any cost involved.

　Yes, this legendary technique, which is enough to improve Yao Chuanguang's overall qualities and enable him to become king, actually comes at no cost.

　All I can say is, use it if you want.

　Aside from the longer charging time and higher mana consumption, Yaochuan Guang can use "Black Cavity Seven Devours" as a basic attack.

　What's the cost?

　That's bullshit.

　If you want to consider "the soul of a monster," "the weight of fate," "the unknowable future," and "the pain of choosing one's identity" as the price, then that's fine too.

　However, Yaochuan Guang himself didn't think it was a serious matter. After learning that he could unleash his ultimate skill at will, he was overjoyed.

　He was just grinning foolishly there.

　The doctor, however, kept his gaze fixed on the "Seven Emperors' Sword" in Yaochuan Guang's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay to feel at ease like this?"

　As for what the doctor said, Yaochuan Guang blinked and looked at her.

　To be honest, Yaochuan Guang has a lot of respect for doctors, physicians, and doctors... They save lives and heal the wounded! They must be good people!

　So if you ask yourself this question, there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

　However, knowing her own limitations, Yaochuan Guang knew she didn't quite understand, so she asked, "What do you mean?"

　The doctor, looking calmly at the computer screen, explained under the worried gazes of the magical girls: "Because of power."

　"Whether it's the Seven Devourers of the Black Void or other powers, it's fine to be a little stronger, but if it's too much stronger than your companions... there will be a barrier."

　The doctor, resting his chin on his hand, gave an example: "If Xiao Cui and the others encounter an enemy they can't defeat, and you can easily solve the problem... Over time, your identities will become distorted."

　"If your companions are in danger, they will hope that you will appear as soon as possible to save them..."

　"And if you were ever too late to save someone, wouldn't you feel incredibly regretful for having the ability to save them but failing to do so?"

　"..." The doctor started scaring the child.

　I don’t know who I learned this from.

　Cong Yu felt this was inappropriate and wanted to ask the doctor to buy Yao Chuan Guang a bag of sunflower seeds, but... Yao Chuan Guang himself didn't think it was a problem.

　They even felt that what the doctor said was wrong.

　"The disparity in strength that leads to a difference in status... um—"

　As he said this, Yaochuan Guang glanced at Teacher Hong, then at the doctor: "I don't feel anything..."

　It really is!

　How clever Yaochuan Guang is!

　"As for statements like 'feeling immense regret for not being able to save them because you had the ability'... well, you might feel regret—"

　Yao Chuan Guang said, scratching the back of his head, "But, is this worse than [being unable to save them, only able to watch your comrades die, and then being killed yourself]?"

　"..." Clear and transparent.

　Hong couldn't help but sigh like this, just like when Hong tried to logically rape Lan Tianzhu, only to be countered by Xiao Cui who seized the key point of the problem.

　Magical girls these days are getting harder and harder to fool.

　Or rather, they're becoming increasingly stubborn (rigid).

　……

　doctor:"……"

　Yaochuan Guang: *blinks*

　"Well, that's true... It's better to have power than no power."

　The doctor reluctantly acknowledged this, thinking that Yao Chuan Guang, this magical girl, wasn't stupid at all; on the contrary, she was incredibly clever.

　Why did Cong Yu say Yao Chuan Guang was stupid in the chat?

　Are you easily fooled?

　"..." In the silence, the doctor looked at Yao Chuanguang's expression, which seemed to ask, "What's wrong?" She waved her hand dismissively, "Go away, go away! I'm busy with work..."

　"You two should come over sometime later, preferably separately, so I can further investigate your second personality."

　Similarly, the research on Xiao Cui's surgical technique will have to wait until next time... The doctor has indeed been quite busy lately.

　"By the way, Cong Yu, could you stay behind for a moment?"

　The doctor said this, then greeted Yaochuan Guang and the others with a smile and said goodbye.

　"OK, OK! Goodbye, Doctor. Come back soon, Congyu-chan!"

　Yaochuan Guang waved his hand, pulled Lantian Zhu who was standing next to him with a face full of "Oh no! NTR plot!", and left the doctor's office.

　Lan Tianzhu's mind was basically filled with the same old monologue: "Hehehe, you don't want anything to happen to Yaochuan Guang either, do you?"

　There's no hope for them.

　Xiao Cui and Hong were preparing to go to the headquarters' training grounds to first investigate the situation of Xiao Cui's Pokémon.

　"..." Cong Yu: "..."

　doctor:"……"

　In the awkward atmosphere, the doctor spoke first: "Ah, [Congyu-chan, come back soon—] right?!"

　The doctor, mimicking Yaochuan Guang's cheerful tone, spoke with a voice filled with resentment that almost materialized into floating black mist.

　"Ahem, this is it..."

　Cong Yu looked away, completely bewildered as to why she had to endure this ordeal... when she and everyone else were completely innocent.

　On the contrary, doctors are actually more like... mistresses or something.

　What a terrible thing to do!

　"Damn it—you even gave her your weapon, didn't you cherish it so much... what do you mean by this?!"

　As she said this, the doctor bit down hard on a piece of medical gauze, tearing at it in a way that resembled a famous painting of biting a handkerchief.

　"What do you mean? It's because Yaochuan Guang is short of a weapon, and I haven't used the Seven Emperors' Sword in a long time..."

　Cong Yu had no other choice but to make small talk, then reached out to pat the doctor's head: "If you need anything, I'll go find it for you, won't I?"

　The doctor initially intended to slap away Cong Yu's hand as she reached for him, but then thought better of it and let out a frustrated "Ugh..."
