Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"I just can't concentrate on studying during school hours, especially on weekends. I'm wondering if I can fully master 'Arrays' and 'Crystals' during the holidays."

　It's usually quite difficult to fully master the Red Technique in just one spring break... but it might not be the case if the student is Hikaru Yokawa.

　Maybe you'll learn it.

　But that's what I mean...

　"Yaochuan Guang...maybe you should learn more slowly."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu explained to Yao Chuan Guang, who looked completely puzzled: "Think about it, those 'teacher' characters in comics and movies."

　"Is it that after saying 'I have nothing more to teach you,' this person completely disappears from the story?"

　"She might have left the show in the TV series, but Hongshita no Kou won't leave. She'll definitely stay at home."

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang immediately understood what she meant and was startled: "Teacher Hong is going to do something like this?!"

　Upon hearing this, all the students around were startled.

　What? Teacher Hong hasn't come to class for so long, so that's why...

　？ ！！

　……

　Hong: Achoo!

　-

　After the holiday, Hong returned to the school clinic and stared at the white bouquet on the desk, lost in thought for a long time.

　Who exactly is spreading rumors that I'm dead?

　Chapter 493 A Person with Humanity in Their Heart (Approximate)

　"The 'self' principle of magic is similar to the magic sequence principle that determines the magic peptide chain...and many spells were born from this."

　Takemikazuchi: "Aba aba..."

　"Using magic to establish a spell that is not influenced by others and can freely influence oneself, ensuring complete control over the shortest distance."

　Takemikazuchi: "Aba aba..."

　"Whether or not one considers oneself, and whether or not one examines oneself, is the premise for determining the basic structure and performance of the current technique."

　Takemikazuchi: "Stunned—"

　"..."

　"Ahem, let me give you an example..."

　The sickly-looking girl giving the lecture to Takemikazuchi was coughing as she explained the "fake image" technique to him while wearing a hospital gown.

　"Long ago, the vampires were at the height of their power because magical girls at that time had not yet established the concept of 'self.'"

　"The blood inside magical girls has also become something that vampires can use, even though it is their own."

　"But after the theory of 'self' was born, magical girls knew that they should imprint their own mark on their spells and bodies... so that they wouldn't be used by others."

　"And what the 'faking illusion' forges is this very 'self,' a technique specifically designed to deceive the world."

　"..." What a troublesome course.

　Takemikazuchi wagged its tail listlessly, wondering why it had to take such a troublesome class when all it wanted was to create something for itself to play with...

　However, in order to create a little Tamamo later to annoy Tamamo, Takemikazuchi was forcing himself to study.

　"Isn't it generally believed that whether a person is truly a person depends on two factors? One is objective, and the other is subjective..."

　"You can distinguish it as a material mode of existence and an informational fundamental attribute... that's the best way to differentiate them."

　“Even if you are not the King of Central City Takemikazuchi in the information, in terms of materiality... that is, in terms of existence, you are him.”

　"The duration of the deception, that is, the duration of its dissipation, depends on the realism and quantity of the 'illusion.'"

　"The more 'same person's' coexistence, the greater the difference in their authenticity, the sooner the world will become aware, and the sooner the illusion will dissipate... Your authenticity may already be infinitely close to 100%."

　In other words, Kenbutsu 76's existence time will probably be "infinitely long"... as long as it is not killed.

　At least that's what Vivi thinks.

　As one of the few people who can learn to "create illusions", her physical condition is not good at all... in fact, it can be said to be weak.

　Although the Purifiers team desperately wanted such a powerful technique to be popularized within the team, very few people were actually able to learn it.

　Teaching can only be conducted when she is in good spirits.

　I've probably had three or four classes...

　Kenbudu 76 is smarter than anyone imagined... at least it can understand the human language they speak.

　Rather, his technique can be considered barely at the beginner level, and he can barely create some small, worthless, and useless phantoms.

　Maintaining the existence of "Kenbutsu 888" is a simple and easy task for Kenbutsu 76... This shows that it has the talent to master the art of creating illusions.

　At least that's what everyone thinks.

　“Illusions can carry consciousness and gain power… Perhaps if Takemikazuchi’s senses are sharp enough, he might be able to empathize with an illusory image.”

　Regarding the magical girl known as "Vivi" who was expressing her feelings, Takemikazuchi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't...

　I'm really sorry for not being perceptive enough.

　Damn it, I'm going to have to pull out my phone from under my belly later and complain about this to Cong Yu and the others.

　As Takemikazuchi was thinking this, a magical girl walked in from outside the door, seemingly holding a cell phone.

　Vivi immediately nodded respectfully and greeted the magical girl, "Good morning, Captain-Commander."

　The magical girl, referred to as the Captain-Commander, nodded in response.

　Then, the captain raised his phone, pointed it at Takemikazuchi and the magical girl, and said with a cold expression, "I'm going to take a few pictures."

　Weiwei was somewhat puzzled by this.

　"Taking photos...is that for something?"

　In response to Vivi's question, the Captain-Commander maintained the same indifference that Takemikazuchi had always seen on the face of the blue magical girl next to Murasame.

　"For the sake of Central City's salvation, I need to inform the cabinet and the mayor about the progress of the plan so that they can rest assured."

　The captain said this, then added with a resolute look on his face, "And we hope they can provide our squad with enough financial support so that we... can continue to fight for humanity!"

　Upon hearing the captain's words, Weiwei, who had been sitting there motionless, immediately revealed an expression of longing.

　Takemikazuchi, relying on his animalistic instincts, sensed that something was amiss... This was...

　Do I have to pay to take photos?

　Unaware that this situation was technically called "funding fraud," Takemikazuchi patted his belly with satisfaction, feeling that he was quite perceptive.

　Afterwards, the captain changed the angle several times but still wasn't satisfied with the photo.

　He then looked at Vivi and "Kenbu 76" and simply instructed, "Could you please demonstrate our true strength..."

　This means something like...

　Was it some kind of "hourly special effect"?

　After thinking it over, Takemikazuchi felt that it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand, so he condensed some purple-blue lightning around himself.

　"Crack!"

　With the sound of the phone's built-in shutter, the captain who had successfully captured the image nodded in satisfaction: "Great, it's exactly the same as the King of Central City."

　Completely unexpectedly, the "Kenbutsu 76" in front of him was the real Captain-Commander of Takemikazuchi, and he felt that this matter was definitely settled.

　The captain could already imagine the cabinet ministers' ecstatic reaction upon seeing the photos and documents; they probably thought they would soon be able to oust the weirdo again and reign supreme in Japan once more.

　But to be honest, even the Commander-in-Chief himself hadn't figured out what to do next. After all, weapons have to be obedient.

　But the Captain-Commander didn't think it was possible to do something like, "Kenbutsu 76, go and eliminate the Monster King."

　However, she was very cunning and never mentioned this in the PowerPoint presentation...

　Everyone who sees the PPT will subconsciously feel that the "weapons" are actually completely under the control of the Purifiers team.

　By default, the "Jianbudu 76" element surrounding the PowerPoint presentation is obedient.

　That's not actually the case.

　We gave the PowerPoint presentation to the cabinet ministers, and now they expect us to actually implement it? How come you get all the good stuff?

　No way!

　Unless you pay more!

　"Okay, okay, that way we can definitely fool them..."

　As he said this, the captain abruptly stopped, and then said without pausing, "I lied... hoping for the support of the cabinet members."

　With that, the Captain-Commander left the room.

　Vivi gazed at the Captain-Commander's departing figure with admiration, and couldn't help but sigh, "Captain-Commander, you are truly a person who cares about humanity."

　Takemikazuchi: "..."

　Although I don't know what the other party is up to, I feel that it's not human... or at least not just human.

　Chapter 494 Each with their own ulterior motives

　Good morning, Miss Masterpiece.

　As Cong Yu spoke, she walked into the room of the "masterpiece"... It was so familiar, it felt like a lifetime ago.

　It feels like the last time I said "Good morning, Hong" and walked into this room was just recently.

　But actually, a long time has passed.

　In that case, I feel like I can quickly transition to the era I'm familiar with... Will all the people I used to know be reborn?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu opened the door to the room behind her.

　"Masterpiece" did not respond to Cong Yu's greeting, but just flipped through the book... looking exactly like a literary girl.

　He's probably some kind of cultured person...

　If you ignore the fact that the other person is intently looking at a comic that they actually stole from the BOSS.

　What "Monthly Jimm Magi"? Isn't that just the manga magazine where my manga is serialized?

　Oh right, this month's update...

　Fortunately, I still have a few days to draw.

　"Are you getting used to living here? Or do you really want to go home?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, and to his reply, "Masterpiece" calmly replied, "It's alright."

　As he said this, "Masterpiece" flipped through the comic book in his hand: "It's the same everywhere... The Purifier Squad isn't home either."

　Oh dear, this is really something.

　I had a sense of déjà vu, like seeing my past self again... It was an unexpected and somewhat embarrassing feeling, but not incomprehensible.

　What has already happened, will surely happen again.

　"Then you can stay here without worry."

　Cong Yu said this casually, and after sitting down, she picked up another comic book: "You can just read a comic for now... If you get bored, just say so, and I'll bring you something else."

　"Masterpiece" glanced at Cong Yu, then briefly replied, "Oh, I see."

　She was still looking down at the comic book in her hands, not looking like someone who liked to talk... or rather, not knowing what to say.

　Cong Yu decided not to continue the conversation.

　After all, if Cong Yu had free time, he would probably be playing games at home with Yao Chuan Guang and the others, so he must have come here for something important.

　"Regarding the 'Rebel King' project, besides the 'Illusory Image' project, what other projects are included?"

　In response to Cong Yu's question, "Masterpiece" pondered for a moment before speaking: "There are many... a great many projects being carried out simultaneously in multiple directions."

　Multiple directions?

　"It sounds like you have plenty of money."

　Cong Yu asked, somewhat puzzled, because logically speaking, even if the Purge team was an "office-type" team.
