Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It seems to be a variety show, somewhat similar to America's Got Talent.

　Do you know the company "Diaomao"?

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the rap king hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Never heard of her... probably not from my circle."

　"..."

　"Haha, this is interesting."

　Cong Yu was laughing, but his laughter was tinged with helplessness and sighing: "Let me tell you a little about what I've been going through recently."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu began to roughly recount how her friends in Japan had been sown apart by assassins.

　He also mentioned that he had been sniped.

　The rap king completely understood this.

　Although he is considered an eccentric with a low level of education, he at least attended a public school.

　They cannot be equated with true illiteracy.

　"So, you want to know the location of 'Diaomao'..."

　The rap king, saying this, seemed quite willing to help Cong Yu. After all, it was just a matter of giving an order: "Then I'll have my men investigate?"

　"..."

　"No, that's the problem."

　Cong Yu said, resting her chin on her hand, "When I arrived at the location those two 'suicide squad members' gave me... there was no one left in that company building."

　"Or rather, they're all dead."

　"..." Yes, Cong Yu rushed over ready to start the killing, but when he saw the situation... the Diaomao company building was littered with corpses.

　The ground was covered with traces of magic, and it looked like everyone, from staff to security guards, had been massacred.

　With precise logic and the residual magic at the scene, Cong Yu conducted a rigorous analysis... and was able to deduce the nature of the perpetrators.

　The ones who made the move were three magical girls: one was skilled in using fire magic, one was an expert in close combat, and one was skilled with guns.

　However, simply knowing this is meaningless.

　After all, Cong Yu wasn't a local.

　Upon learning of this, the rap king almost immediately burst out laughing: "Haha, you actually got outsmarted one day."

　Cong Yu is intelligent.

　At least in the eyes of the rap king and his group, Cong Yu has always been the one who schemes to mess with others, and they have never seen Cong Yu suffer losses in this regard.

　For a monster king with an everlasting lifespan, this is quite a rare and novel event... although Congyu himself doesn't think he's very smart.

　"However, not everything was planned out."

　As the rap king said this, he seemed somewhat wistful: "If you know the killer's identity, then sooner or later you can follow the clues to find him."

　Cong Yu nodded in agreement.

　"indeed."

　Although it might seem like self-praise, Cong Yu genuinely felt that she was very patient... or rather, very enthusiastic.

　They had enough interest to play around at their own pace.

　……

　Yes, just like a python that gradually strangles its prey, or a venomous snake that patiently waits for its food to be brought to its mouth.

　"In that case, you can go to the AMA (American Magical Girl Association) and ask... All the magical girls in America are registered there."

　As a local, the rap king gave Cong Yu advice, saying, "All magical girls who accept the Magical Girl Identity Act will be registered there... and those who are not registered will also have their identities registered."

　This sounds strange, and it is indeed strange, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

　The United States is a country that places great importance on personal privacy.

　Because they still need to save face for the sake of the human rights they proclaim... In reality, citizens have no privacy whatsoever.

　Cong Yu nodded in agreement.

　I'll go to the American Magical Girls Association tomorrow to ask about the situation... Out of politeness, Cong Yu decided to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.

　If you're going to drag it out, then drag it out.

　Whoever the real mastermind is, they're just stalling... and in the end, it's pointless.

　Whatever the ultimate purpose, provoking a monster king is always an unwise choice... It's truly incomprehensible.

　Is it arrogance that's gone too far?

　Cong Yu wasn't quite sure.

　-

　"Even assassins couldn't take down that boy... I think the situation is very bad, Hiro Nagashima, are you really sure?"

　"Don't worry, boss, you should at least trust my eyes..."

　"..."

　"I can guarantee that there was never any King of Fengdu from the beginning, only a boy pretending to be the King of Fengdu."

　"Okay, I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'm going to Hawaii for vacation. I'll leave the company and related plans entirely to you."

　Chapter 542 The Truth Comes to Light?

　It seems that I have uncovered a massive fraud of the century.

　Nagashima Hiro thought to himself,

　He stood on the passenger ship, waiting for it to dock... surrounded by about a dozen magical girls.

　These dozen or so people hold a position in America akin to the Golden Pavilion or Silver Pavilion of the philosophical world. Although their fame may not match that of a king, they are still among the best.

　"The King of the Wind City..."

　He muttered the name under his breath, a cold smile playing on his lips... The boy known as the King of Wind City had almost deceived the entire world.

　It was all a hoax, a lie meticulously woven by a boy named Cong Yu.

　At least, thanks to the discerning eye awakened by the bloodline of the Nagashima family, he could easily tell that... Murasame and the King of Fuuto were the same person.

　The current "King of the Wind City" is not the same person as the King of the Wind City in the footage that stormed the church and breached the North City.

　(Cong Yu: ???)

　Because of human nature.

　Hiro Nagashima could tell that although the boy named Murami was now disguised with some of the demeanor of the King of Fuuto.

　Unfortunately, Cong Yu only managed to imitate half of the King of Fengdu's utterly indifferent and "inhuman" nature.

　The young man named Cong Yu may have received the inheritance or guidance of the King of Fengdu. However, he is unable to disguise his humanity.

　The fact that the magical girl he lived with was left behind by him in Japan's 22nd Group, as mentioned in the documents, corroborates this.

　Of course, this is not a reason for him to be completely confident.

　mainly……

　The rain was not strong.

　"..." The boy named Cong Yu was indeed stronger than ordinary magical girls and ordinary monsters, but not by much.

　Hiro Nagashima made several attempts to test the waters.

　The Westin Entertainment Group, the machinations of two Diaomao executives, four assassins...

　For them, Cong Yu's behavior pattern can be described as convergent.

　Cong Yu's seemingly nonchalant remark, "I slacked off and failed to dodge," further confirmed his suspicions.

　Are we slacking off?

　No, actually, Cong Yu simply didn't have that kind of strength, because the opponent wasn't a true king-level being at all, and wasn't the King of Fengdu at all.

　(Cong Yu: Hmm, that makes sense.)

　Or rather, although it seems to have a huge impact, what he actually did was merely using the identity of "King of the Wind City" as a cover.

　They exploited people's expectations and fears of the King of the Winds, allowing the American public to portray him as a hero.

　Even a leader-level monster can do the same thing.

　Hiro Nagashima analyzed the eyes of the person named Murami; they were calm, even somewhat gentle... though equally indifferent, they weren't quite so.

　It is far from being the true king of the windy city.

　Since that's the case, then we can take advantage of it.

　Without a doubt, regardless of why Congyu impersonated the King of Fuuto, he approved of, and might even have liked, the magical girls around him.

　This is probably what young people should have.

　Perhaps it's love?

　It's quite ridiculous.

　He possesses the power of a monster, but he keeps it a secret from everyone, and under another identity, he falls in love with a magical girl.

　That's precisely why, that's precisely why Nagashima Hiro was able to make such a judgment, to assert so definitively...

　Cong Yu is just an actor playing a role.

　This is a grand and magnificent hoax of the century, in which every audience member, and even the other actors, are completely fooled by the only real actor.

　So, it's time for this drama to come to an end.

　Thinking this, Hiro Nagashima sent a message to his boss... but to his surprise, he found that his boss seemed to have blocked him.

　What? You're such a coward.

　-

　"boom!!!!"

　A terrifying explosion erupted from Lan Tianzhu's body, shattering the monster she was holding... The extremely close-range roar destroyed it.

　The brilliant, flame-like shockwave seems to have even more of Nagisa Azur's own characteristics than the original "Severing Source: Brilliance".

　However, the few cracks that appeared on Lan Tianzhu's body in an instant proved that she did not seem to have modified the technique into a less painful version.

　On the contrary, although the burden on the demon-supplying organs did not increase, the extreme pain itself still increased the burden on the body.

　Fortunately, the magical girl's body is just a shell.

　The only downside might be that it will hurt even more.

　"get off work."

　Lan Tianzhu spoke calmly, yawning as she watched Yao Chuanguang and Xiao Cui quickly finish their battle.

　When facing multiple enemies at the same time, Lan Tianzhu is rarely the one who is the fastest to take them down, but... recently this situation has changed.

　The current strategy for fighting Blue Sky Isle is very simple—first use ranged Flame to burn it, and if that doesn't work, then get close and use explosives.

　With just a simple bomb, the enemy will be reduced to dust.

　"Sister Blue Sky... are you really alright?"

　After finishing the battle, Xiao Cui spoke with some concern as she cared for the little fairies, sending them back one by one...

　Yao Chuanguang was also a little worried, but she didn't say anything.

　"Ah, it's okay, I've never been afraid of pain."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu looked at the gradually healing cracks on his arm and spoke calmly as always:

　"Moreover, my burden has been getting lighter and lighter recently."

　The more he used it, the more it exploded. Lan Tianzhu felt himself becoming more and more accustomed to this spell... getting used to the feeling of being stretched by magic.

　I've also gotten used to the pain of the loud explosion.

　My heart gradually stopped pounding uncontrollably due to extreme repression during my "glorious" moments.

　"As long as I don't use it in large quantities in a short period of time, my body won't have any problems... My judgment in this regard is professional."
