Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"..."

　"Sigh, but that child's smile is indeed very... innocent."

　Summarizing it this way, the doctor commented on Hikaru Yokawa, the "young girl in bright clothes and riding a spirited horse, who doesn't know the Demon King": "It's clear... her companions are already number one in her heart."

　"A person who cares about friends, and a woman who cares about companions... It's not hard to understand why similar people are attracted to each other, it's truly enviable."

　The doctor sighed, feeling that he had lost too much.

　In response, Cong Yu immediately hugged the doctor and coughed lightly: "There's no such thing as mutual attraction. I've always cared most about you, Doctor—"

　"..." Nonsense! You're just making this up!

　The doctor originally intended to yell at them, but...

　I feel it's better to see through things but not say anything.

　Chapter 446 Lost Souls and the Grand World of Elves

　“A fake death…it appears to be death, but it is not actually death.”

　Chi You said this, looking at Miss Lin who had no soul at all: "Right now, you are just an empty shell..."

　In other words, Miss Lin was already dead. Her soul had already disintegrated the moment she witnessed the evil of the gods and the death of her loved ones.

　Subsequently, he was probably captured by Moirai.

　An empty shell may one day give birth to the intelligence of God... and mature as the host of God.

　Consciousness exists, but the soul does not.

　So this is what zombies are like...

　How can you kill a person who is merely a physical body and is constantly being replicated? This is no longer human.

　It was a piece of meat...

　“You are not immortal… In fact, every killing is real and complete.”

　As she said this, Miss Chiyou looked at Miss Lin with pity: "After being annihilated, you were recreated by the gods... It doesn't matter if you consider it a resurrection."

　However, it's hard to say that she's the same person she was at the beginning.

　Each forest can be considered a new individual.

　"It's hopeless, let's just wait for God to descend..."

　Miss Chiyou made this judgment, then stared intently at Miss Lin, who was shaking her head helplessly as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

　Or rather, stare at what she symbolizes.

　"Having lived through countless ages, I have never fought against a god... Lin, are you not afraid of death?"

　Miss Lin shook her head at Chi You's words... She was completely indifferent now, with no emotional fluctuations, almost as if she had "lost her soul".

　Now that I hear it, it seems I really have lost my mind.

　Are you afraid of God descending?

　Miss Chiyou pressed on, and with her dark magic, gave Miss Lin a seat... similar to hers, but a little lower.

　Of course, there are no similar chains.

　"Yes, I'm very worried."

　As she said this, Miss Lin sighed helplessly and shook her head: "I don't want to cause any more trouble for this world."

　This kind of thinking is less about fear, but rather...

　It's more accurate to say they were just tired... which makes sense.

　"Don't be afraid."

　Chi You said this, leaning back in the seat he had conjured with his magic: "There won't be any trouble."

　As he said this, Chi You looked very confident, resting his chin on his hand: "I know many gods, but I have never actually seen a real god."

　Miss Chi You even seemed a little excited: "I've never tried fighting a god before... It's something to look forward to."

　Is this so belligerent?

　Well, I should say... no wonder he's called "Chi You"?

　……

　The black-and-white loli at the door peered into the hall, listening to Miss Chi You and Miss Lin's conversation, and then exchanged a glance.

　"—Xiao Bai, His Majesty is just showing off again. When it comes to a real fight, he'll realize he can't win and then he'll be crying for his parents."

　The other white loli nodded in agreement at the black loli's words, and began to chime in, "Little Black, what you said is true..."

　Then, she suddenly sensed a dangerous aura behind her.

　They secretly turned their heads and glanced over, only to find that Miss Chi You was looking at the two protectors with a dangerous gaze.

　in vain:"……"

　After a brief silence, the white-haired loli immediately changed her tune: "Little Black, I think you're wrong... His Majesty Chi You is invincible, he can't possibly lose."

　Only then did Miss Chi You withdraw her gaze with satisfaction.

　-

　Do you know what chess is?

　……

　No, perhaps that's not the right question. A better question would be something like, "Do you know the classification of chess pieces?"

　This is actually more in line with common sense.

　But it doesn't matter if you don't know, Lord Crescent Moon Madman can take this opportunity to... cough cough, tell me about it.

　In chess, each side, black and white, has sixteen pieces—the king, queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.

　How do we judge the strength of each piece?

　Yes, it's quite difficult, but not impossible...

　The king is the most valuable piece, because if the king dies, the entire game is lost. And then...

　A queen with a strength of "9", a chariot (castle) with a strength of "5", a bishop with a strength of "3", a warhorse (cavalry) with a strength of "3", and a soldier (soldiers) with a strength of "1".

　Of course, this is a simplistic approach to exchanging pieces. How to make specific choices in the actual game depends on each player's individual strategy.

　"..."

　“It’s…remarkable.”

　Hong couldn't help but sigh, watching Xiao Cui creating little elves... At this moment, her creations were truly remarkable.

　This was a segment that Hong felt she couldn't miss...

　Originally, the little sprites that Xiao Cui created were all little sprites with sharp spikes, about the size of a palm... and their individual strength was very weak.

　However, Little Green will create a large number of them to make up for the lack of individual strength of those little sprites...

　It is more than sufficient for harassment and reconnaissance.

　Harassment, reconnaissance, or forming a united front to exert pressure...

　If we convert it to "chess pieces", it would be a "pawn".

　At this moment, the little elves that Xiao Cui created with "3%" of her magic are undoubtedly bishops holding staffs.

　Assuming 50% is used as the dividing line for safe magic consumption, Xiao Cui can create 50 (soldiers) at once.

　However, if converted to "bishops", only about 17 can be created at a time.

　Is it worth it?

　It's hard to say, it basically depends on the situation... No one dares to say that three units that can fight on the front lines and scout together are necessarily weaker than one unit that can deal damage.

　But in any case, having more options is always a good thing.

　"twitter!"

　(Drill attack!)

　"..." Watching these little sprites attacking each other, fighting and beating their own kind to a bloody pulp, Red fell into deep thought.

　On the one hand, these little elves are perhaps a bit too martial-minded.

　On the other hand, so far these little sprites only know one mini version of Armor Piercing Spiral, which makes them a bit difficult to handle.

　"To be honest, I don't even know how these little fairies' magical aptitude is... Do they have individual differences?"

　Xiao Cui said she wasn't sure either, so she asked the little elves.

　Is there any difference between you?

　The little elves looked at each other in bewilderment at Xiao Cui's question, then began to chatter excitedly, gesturing wildly.

　Hong still doesn't quite understand... why can Xiao Cui understand the language of these little elves that is completely inhuman?

　However, this is something we don't need to understand for now.

　"Oh, they said there's not much difference, but some elves think the staff is ugly and still prefer the spear. So, only about seven or eight billion elves decided to change to 'Bishop Form'."

　Hearing Xiao Cui say this, Hong indicated that she understood and nodded: "In other words, in the battles to come, you can only summon a maximum of seventy or eighty mage sprites... How many? Seven or eight billion?"

　Red realized something was wrong and was shocked: "Wait, how many Pokémon are there in the world of Pokémon?!"

　Xiao Cui: I don't know

　ah--"

　Little elf: "Chirp chirp!"

　Xiao Cui: "Oh, it seems that about 90% of the little elves still want to be soldier elves. If seven or eight billion becomes ten times... um!"

　red:"!!!"

　What kind of incredible alternate world is this?!

　Chapter 447 The Bud-Crowned Rider's Echo

　"This world has a concept of predetermined fate... like some kind of script."

　"No, rather than a predetermined fate."

　"It's more accurate to say... it's 'the destiny of humanity to continue existing,' and not just one such destiny, but several."

　"And among these destinies, there will be certain similarities. These are individual events, seemingly unrelated events. If they happen correctly, they can indeed steer destiny in a positive direction."

　In other words, it's about "accuracy."

　"If there are a quadrillion different fates, then there may be three million of those fates that allow humanity to continue to exist."

　"Of these three million possible destinies, there are perhaps two million where someone did something, or something happened..."

　"So, let's assume this is something that can push fate in the right direction."

　"Your adoption of the demon wolf is one of them."

　"..."

　"..." Etzel: "..."

　In the silence, Etzel nodded to the nun in front of her and casually echoed, "Sister, when did you come in? Yes, I love you too."

　nun:"???"

　"Last time a monster bit me, luckily I was riding a warhorse... I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Etzel, the weather is nice."

　Seeing the grassland king's incoherent words as he tried to communicate with her, the nun was quite helpless: "Ahhh, Lord Wild Hunt, I'm not crazy, and I'm not joking... I'm telling the truth."

　Etzel was used to this; she had seen plenty of people go mad in the midst of constant battles.

　It looks normal, but it's actually not quite normal anymore.

　Some people, at the slightest sound, think that monsters are coming and draw their weapons to kill people... In the future, far too many people will become neurotic because of certain things.

　Etzel was already used to this kind of thing.

　nun:"……"

　Finally speechless, the nun took out her phone and dialed the church's number: "I can contact the church; you can verify this with them."
