Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Red: "!@#JPY%……&"

　The captain simply watched silently, without saying a word, as everyone was making a ruckus... especially the one in red.

　Just a reminder.

　Although the Captain-Commander gives the impression of being quite mature, in reality, she is only mature in that sense.

　In terms of age, figure, and appearance, she is a standard magical girl; if you ignore the "magic," she is simply a girl.

　She was probably around sixteen or seventeen years old, but with her deliberately mature attire, she could make that number appear a year or two older.

　Yes, she was only one or two years old.

　If we disregard her status as a magical girl, then it wouldn't be wrong to consider her as "a child pretending to be very mature."

　Therefore, even the captain was somewhat envious at this moment.

　Crimson, oh Crimson, it seems you've obtained two rather remarkable "treasures" hanging on your chest that are the envy of many...

　With these thoughts in mind, the captain checked the time and realized that he had no choice but to say something.

　"It's about time, Crimson."

　With that, the captain gestured for Hong to set off, saying, "It's time to go. Don't keep the cabinet gentlemen waiting."

　Before Red could even speak, the very honest "masterpiece" clearly failed to grasp the subtext in the captain's words: "I think they should be willing to wait longer, preferably a lifetime."

　However, no one responded to her.

　In response to the captain's words, Hong scratched her head and took a deep breath: "Okay, but... for now, it's better to just call me Hong."

　Because she's no longer a magical girl.

　"Saying goodbye to the past? That's not a bad idea."

　As he said this, the captain led Red away from the Purifier team headquarters, where most of the area was still undergoing repairs: "Or have they gotten used to being called by their full names?"

　"..." Hong pondered for a moment, unsure of her own thoughts: "I don't know, maybe both..."

　As she said this, Red, yawning, sat in the back seat of the car with the captain: "Sigh, I've been a reformed person for so long, and when I come back to help out occasionally, it's still about killing people... The Purifier Squad really hasn't changed at all."

　If you hang out with a group of weirdos, can you be considered to have reformed?

　The captain doubted this, saying, "There are changes, but they shouldn't be particularly noticeable in the short term."

　"If we suddenly change direction, it will be difficult to grasp the pain points of the magical girl industry. If there is a new blue ocean in the industry, a clear new direction, or a new concept, I can certainly endure the pain of change without hesitation... but the problem is that there isn't."

　The captain explained it this way.

　Red's response to this was...

　Hong; "..." Hongxiawuhong fell silent!

　It wasn't that the captain's words were wrong, but rather that Hong's comprehension was flawed, because she had only received the most basic education.

　"..." In silence, the Captain-Commander also realized that not every magical girl and monster was a knowledgeable child like Murasame.

　She actually knew this a long time ago...

　After all, the magical girls under the Captain-Commander are generally more... well, more like "Cheese Snow Leopard" in terms of education.

　Her educational background is lower than that of many other magical girls from various agencies.

　After all, the Purifiers are a professional magical girl organization, and they even handle the "training" themselves...

　Perhaps that's what makes it valuable.

　However, their Japanese is quite good.

　It's so fluent; to achieve that already puts it far beyond what a real Cheese Leopard can do.

　"Speaking of which, how much will you make this time?"

　Hong abruptly changed the subject, throwing "blue ocean" and "new track" out of her mind: "How much did they manage to get from the cabinet ministers?"

　To be precise, it should be "How much have they caught?"

　Now that they have the money, what they need to do is eliminate those who are unwilling to pay, as well as those who are not good people.

　"We still have tens of millions, but we still need to share it with Cong Yu."

　Hong already knew what the captain had said; the Purifier squad had now submitted to Cong Yu. But she was curious about the specifics: "How will they be divided?"

　"First, return all the money to the good cabinet officials. Then, we'll split the money from the bad guys 30/70 with Cong Yu."

　"Have you changed your personality? You only took 70%?"

　"Seventy percent of it belongs to Cong Yu, and the remaining thirty percent depends on how others feel... After all, using the Monster King's intimidation power costs money, so it's not shameful."

　Chapter 532 Xiao Cui's World

　The bed is huge.

　Brother Congyu smells so good...

　Sister Blue Sky is as hard as a rock.

　"..." Wait, why is it so hard? Why is Sister Blue Sky like a rock?

　Xiao Cui opened her eyes somewhat confused. She had been sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt something was wrong... Lan Tianzhu shouldn't be this hard, right?

　Then, Xiao Cui saw...

　The sky is blue...

　……

　It wasn't a "familiar ceiling," nor was it an "unfamiliar ceiling." When she opened her eyes, she saw a super beautiful sky.

　It's absolutely gorgeous.

　The blue sky is a clear, deep blue, and the white clouds are like flawless white jade... It's a scene that can only be imagined in a fairy tale.

　At this moment, Xiao Cui was lying on the grass, surrounded by long, lush green grass...

　Behind them was a huge rock, about the height of two small jade plants.

　It really was a stone.

　Xiao Cui felt that even Sister Lan Tian couldn't possibly be that hard... Lan Tian Zhu was still a little bit hard.

　I'm sorry to say that...

　But if Xiao Cui continues to grow up, she will soon surpass and humiliate Lan Tianzhu. Xiao Cui is the invincible martial god!

　Meanwhile, Xiao Cui, blinking and wondering why she had suddenly ended up on the grass, looked around at her surroundings.

　The surrounding area was grassland, and there were trees and bushes not far away. Apart from that, there was no trace of people, and not even the slightest sound could be heard.

　You can hear the sounds of small animals, though.

　I heard the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds.

　Xiao Cui frowned.

　This...this isn't right, is it?

　Xiao Cui remembered that she was sleeping in bed last night, hugging Cong Yu's waist tightly as she slept.

　Why is everything gone when I open my eyes?

　The bed is gone, the home is gone, and everyone else is gone.

　When I woke up, everything around me had changed... It was indeed very beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, like something out of a fairy tale.

　But an accident is still an accident.

　Have I been kidnapped?

　Who dares to kidnap me? Who can kidnap me? Who can kidnap me?!

　Impossible, absolutely impossible.

　Xiao Cui didn't believe that anyone had that ability... In other words, she was probably dreaming.

　Thinking this through, Xiao Cui used her strong spirit of inquiry to confirm it.

　She simply reached out and pinched her own face.

　Pull——

　"pain!"

　Xiao Cui rubbed her face angrily... It seems this was all real, this wasn't a dream, rua—

　"Teleportation spell...there's no trace of magic, that's not right."

　While muttering to herself and analyzing the possibilities of the teleportation spell, Xiao Cui noticed something was amiss.

　So rich...

　The "magic" of this place has almost completely dissipated into the air, and it can even be said that it is about to become tangible.

　The white, ethereal mist in the distant forest is not entirely composed of water vapor... it is not fog in the narrow sense.

　It is not water vapor condensate composed of small water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface.

　It's magic...

　It is the magic of liquefaction.

　"..." Could this be the legendary time travel?

　As she thought this, countless related stories, including novels and animations, flashed through Xiao Cui's mind.

　The concept of "time travel" already exists in this era.

　There are quite a few light novels featuring magical girls traveling to another world... although they're all pretty rubbish, not as good as the illustrations.

　Having made this judgment, and to ensure her own safety, Xiao Cui gently waved her hand: "Transform!"

　As soon as she finished speaking, emerald green magic began to condense from the air at an alarming speed, almost transforming into a magic storm centered on Little Green.

　The air has too much magic, and its quality is too high.

　In this place, the magical girl's fighting power might increase several times over... The power of the spells might not necessarily double, since the situation with spells is complex, and it's not convenient to guarantee that they will definitely become stronger.

　However, the magical girl's inherent "strength" after transformation does indeed increase significantly.

　.

　The battles of magical girls are battles between magic powers.

　The quality and quantity of magic power determine the upper and lower limits of a magical girl's abilities... while the spells determine the level at which a magical girl can perform.

　The intertwined and entangled magic formed a dress on Xiao Cui's body that was quite similar to her original transformed form.

　They look no different, but any magical girl could sense the magical pressure emanating from Xiao Cui's current posture.

　It's terrifying, it's incredibly powerful.

　Xiao Cui, however, was not at ease. She was even more worried about the unusual things around her... She was rather indifferent to things that were uncertain and dangerous.

　The abundance of magic power enhanced not only magical girls.

　Even if the surrounding area is excessively filled with positive magic, there is still a possibility of magical beasts.

　Maybe this place is some kind of "small world of Warcraft" or something.

　If a monster like the previous Demon Bear, which is incredibly tanky and deals high damage, were to appear, Xiao Cui would be in real trouble.

　Therefore, it is necessary to determine the situation as soon as possible.

　……

　Little elf! Come out!

　"..." Little fairy! Come out!

　"..." No response.

　Yes, the procedure did not produce any response.

　Xiao Cui was panicking, she was really panicking now... This was the first time in her history that her spellcasting had failed, and things were really going to get bad.

　Now, if she encounters any serious or unexpected situation, she no longer has the confidence that "I am capable of protecting myself"...

　The only saving grace is that Teacher Hong taught Xiao Cui many convenient and universal spells before, so she is not completely without combat power.
