Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　As he said this, the young Cong Yu showed no trace of arrogance or contempt on the surface; on the contrary, he had a strange calmness.

　However, the two-tone magic power of dark green and pitch black that was clearly intertwined on his body at this moment was excessively unruly.

　Before Cong Yu could properly contain his strange magic, the identity of the eccentric was easily discovered by all the monks and nuns present.

　The pope, who was presiding over the service and preparing to explain the Vatican's current predicament, immediately showed a wary expression.

　"who are you?"

　"..." However, Cong Yu did not respond to the Pope's words, but simply ignored him. At the same time, the nun who was ready for battle was also ignored.

　Meanwhile, some of the more powerful nuns had already formed spells and were attacking Cong Yu.

　Although she ignored them, Cong Yu could not ignore the spell.

　Reaching inside the Jormungandr train, he pulled out Murakumo, which contained a small amount of Yuki-onna's magic power in the [Yamata no Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi].

　With just a simple swing of the sword, all those probing spells were shattered...

　And "testing" was the biggest mistake these nuns made.

　Even if Cong Yu was confident at this moment, he was no longer the person who would unleash an extermination spell at any time. He also knew that he could not deal with the attacks of all the nuns at the same time... His target was clear.

　Quickly kill the Pope and then leave.

　Then accept the so-called "Emperor's" magical power and try more restraint and extermination techniques to stop him from nagging in my ear all day long...

　That's what Cong Yu was thinking at that moment.

　Because he already knew... or rather, he thought he knew, that the effect of the extermination spell on the host depends on the host's strength.

　At least that's what the boss's book says.

　At this moment, Cong Yu was unaware that each extermination technique had a different attitude towards its host, and the constraints were also vastly different.

　The key to 【Source Darkness Apophis】 lies in whether or not one is "lonely".

　It's not magic...

　Of course, Cong Yu was unaware of this at the moment.

　So Cong Yu, wielding his sword, immediately took advantage of the dust and smoke to rush towards the Pope... At this moment, he was not wearing any mask.

　Because there's no need to pretend.

　Kill the Pope, sever the spiritual veins, then become king in the Vatican, thereby influencing the world and ending the magical girl system... that's his idea.

　In the next instant, the nuns realized that this was an assassination attempt against the Pope and immediately took countermeasures.

　The chain of fire walls triggered by [Flame·Scorch] appeared almost instantly on Cong Yu's inevitable path.

　But this standard procedure was exactly what Cong Yu had anticipated.

　Without pausing for even a moment, Cong Yu passed directly through the wall of flames with his bare body... Countless magic bullets and spells immediately slammed into his original spot.

　If he hadn't chosen to move forward without hesitation, he might already be covered in magic damage.

　As the flames burned, Cong Yu's skin suddenly turned charred, and his raincoat was quickly burned away. And in that instant...

　The dark green phantom serpent, as if freed from its restraints, began to bare its fangs and claws behind him, blocking the incoming spells one by one.

　Then, a sword was slashed out...

　"How did you..."

　"Oops!"

　"Your Majesty!"

　Amidst numerous gasps of surprise, the sword blade falling from the rain was blocked by a holy light... This was a shield cast by the Pope's magical artifact.

　It was a standard technique, so it was within Cong Yu's expectations.

　"Sing to the bottomless depths of Midgard, beast of the swamp bound by cursed chains, manifest with the death of the underworld, its spell is called—"

　"The Dusk Train!"

　【Calling for the Dusk Train】

　-

　Although chanting is necessary at this moment to obtain power similar to that of the "Jörmungandr Train" after it has fully grown.

　But this is enough to show just the tip of the iceberg of the full power that the train, which is still in its infancy, has seized from the future.

　Something as black as ink, a train that resembled both a wolf and a snake, surged down from above the Pope's head.

　At the same time, the "Ouroboros" behind Cong Yu was stabbing forward from behind the Pope... while a sword was swinging towards him from the front.

　Simultaneously from three directions

　The attack immediately made the Pope realize that the strange man who attacked him was no ordinary person.

　Therefore, the Pope had no choice but to resort to his last secret technique!

　The Vatican's Secret Techniques: A Grand Gathering of Magical Tools!

　That's right, it's the power of money! It's the power of money!

　The magical artifacts, which were not cheap but rather appeared expensive, began to glow, including cross pendants and papal scepters.

　Then, about eighty-one layers of shields appeared on the Pope... The Underworld Train shattered three layers, and the Ouroboros pierced through one layer before nearly breaking its bones when it hit the second layer.

　With a single stroke, a layer was cleaved away.

　"what?!"

　Cong Yu exclaimed in shock and confusion, then watched as the Pope lazily rolled around and fled to the chapel under the cathedral.

　"What!?"

　Incredibly, the rain swept across, slicing through the chairs and chasing after the Pope... successfully weakening the shield by about a dozen layers.

　After that, Cong Yu finally sensed something, looking at the church doors that had been deliberately sealed off...

　Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

　“Wang… no, but not far off.”

　"Hmm, can we win?"

　"We can't win, absolutely not."

　Such a conversation occurred behind Cong Yu. When he turned around, he saw seven or eight magical girls with determined eyes.

　These are the first magical girls from the Holy See to arrive.

　They are the world's strongest group of magical girls—the Holy Guard.

　"But we cannot back down."

　"Yes... because this is the Vatican. It may fall, but obviously not now."

　As they said this, several of these magical girls were engulfed in flames symbolizing "100% emotional capacity" and "100% determination."

　"Did you see that? The destined king... You are truly powerful, yet you possess not a single ounce of love for humanity."

　"For the sake of humanity, let this end here."

　"This is the Vatican. I wonder if you, who came here with murderous intent, have seen it? And are you even aware of it...?"

　What is protecting us?

　What does it symbolize?

　"the answer is……"

　"The Future of Humanity!"

　"..." Oh no, this is really bad...

　Even if it was just an illusion, it was as if Congyu could really hear something burning with a rumbling sound in the ears of these magical girls who were making their oaths in unison... Was it really a resolution?

　What burns brightly is the resolve of these magical girls.

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Faced with a burning determination and a love for humanity, the young Cong Yu offered the following answer:

　Cong Yu: "Xi, is it possible to reconcile?"

　"Croak!!! ...

　Chapter 473 Green fears fame, water fears strength

　"That's roughly the situation. His Holiness the Pope was forced under the table... or rather, under the chair."

　The historian spoke with a calm expression, while Pope Joseph coughed lightly: "You're focusing on the wrong thing. It's not my business."

　"Under my brilliant and mighty command, that young, strange man who seemed to possess the qualities of a king was almost killed by us!"

　"However, in the end, the other party still fled in defeat."

　Brad Van Milion pondered his father-in-law's words for a moment: "It sounds like you weren't in command; it was all the Holy Guard doing the work?"

　"No, no, no, my survival boosted morale."

　Brad pondered for a moment before responding to the Pope's explanation: "But you still didn't give any command, did you..."

　After Brad pressed on to this point, Joseph Van Million's expression darkened: "Can't we just leave out the question of command?"

　"..." Brad opened his mouth, then said, "That's possible... but whether you give orders or not, you always hide under the table, don't you?"

　"..." How infuriating! How could they expose my weaknesses like that?!

　The Pope is furious!

　But after thinking it over, the Pope was no longer angry... Brad was an honest man, and it was this quality that made him agree to the marriage between Brad and his daughter.

　"I never imagined that the guy with the cold eyes who forced me to sit on the table... cough cough, forced me to take things seriously back then."

　As he said this, the Pope seemed quite moved: "It's actually that eccentric king who casually saves magical girls..."

　Just like back then, he never expected that Cong Yu would be able to survive and escape under such "full filling".

　Just as he hadn't expected, after the Vatican became the New Vatican, and then the New New Vatican, that terrifying boy from back then didn't come to take revenge.

　I thought they would be sent back sooner or later, but they never came... Was it because they were recuperating in Fudu and then fell in love with the city?

　Or perhaps, it was the presence of kind-hearted humans who prompted his transformation.

　Thinking this, Joseph, who had never imagined that the boy was the King of Wind City, felt his heart filled with curiosity.

　but……

　Although Cong Yu was still that boy, and he was still that old man, he had clearly aged a bit more.

　Apart from a gentler expression, the other person seemed unchanged... even though it was a good thing.

　But it was only at this moment that Joseph Van Milion dared to deny that he was truly getting old...

　Yeah, I didn't feel old when I was watching videos of beautiful women.

　Thinking this way, the Pope, who refused to admit he was getting old, decided to watch his sister dance a little longer to make himself look younger.
