Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Yao Chuanguang seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally said, "Eh... this shouldn't be considered robbery or a gift, right?"

　Cong Yu pondered for a moment before characterizing their actions: "It was probably a 'betting duel'... Don't let it happen again."

　Cong Yu's statement that this would not happen again made the few people with darting eyes abandon their little ideas.

　"That's settled then, bye—"

　"Bye——"

　"See you next time, my brother."

　【goodbye】

　Through the words of the group and the message conveyed by the "wooden sign," it became clear that everyone had truly left home and returned to their own homes.

　After thinking for a moment, Cong Yu decided not to use the Jormungandr train to take them... Everyone is moving very fast now.

　After everyone has undergone the integration surgery, visiting each other in the Li village is a very simple matter.

　At this moment, Yao Chuan Guang looked at the living room door, which now had a large hole, and said with some worry, "Repairing the house doesn't seem cheap... Boss, you'll probably have to pay for it, right?"

　"..." Cong Yu was somewhat speechless at this.

　It's really quite unexpected... Even now, Yaochuan Guang is still thinking about problems using "common sense".

　Yaochuan Guang used four common-sense terms.

　First, there's the "repair," then the "house," next, the "not cheap," and finally, (the boss will compensate).

　Let's set aside whether people need to pay for their own house repairs, and whether they are currently short of money...

　"There's no need to call someone to fix it."

　Lan Tianzhu said this while lying lazily on the sofa, "Cong Yu fixed it with a snap of her fingers."

　Am I Thanos?

　While silently complaining to herself, Cong Yu sat down between Lan Tianzhu and Yao Chuanguang, saying, "Yes, the power of faith can do it."

　Moreover, the consumption is truly negligible.

　Thinking this, Cong Yu made a snapping gesture, followed by a "thud" that was neither crisp nor loud.

　Without a doubt, Cong Yu's snap was a mistake.

　Even so, the power of faith still managed to reshape the house perfectly... After all, if Cong Yu wanted to use the power of faith, she wouldn't need to snap her fingers as a medium.

　He was just going along with what Aoyama Nagisa said.

　After witnessing the house repair itself and gradually return to its original state, Cong Yu quietly began to speak: "Do you want to hear the truth about the giant snake we are about to face?"

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang immediately became excited: "I want to hear it! Have we finally gotten the truth?"

　Looking at Yaochuan Guang's enthusiastic expression.

　Cong Yu was able to hallucinate as a golden retriever about to receive a small treat... the déjà vu was just too strong.

　However, before Cong Yu could say anything...

　"I know, it's you from another world."

　"Is it Brother Cong Yu from another timeline?"

　Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui said this almost at the same time.

　Lan Tianzhu's words were quite confident.

　Xiao Cui, however, still sounded somewhat doubtful.

　The two men's words surprised both Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang.

　The two then remained silent, their faces clearly displaying expressions of "How did you know?" and "What are you talking about?"

　Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance.

　Then Lan Tianzhu spoke up, explaining on Xiao Cui's behalf: "The description of Su Ge, the characteristics of those snake scales, and Cong Yu's abilities unexpectedly match up, as does the description of the form."

　Cong Yu was actually aware of this as well.

　The serpent scales that can cut through things with darkness represent "slashing" and correspond to Ouroboros, the ouroboros.

　The snake scales that paralyze creatures represent "poison," corresponding to the Hydra mark.

　The snake scales of the absorption technique represent "devouring" and correspond to the Seven Emperors' Sword.

　The snake scales that allow for rapid movement naturally represent the spell that Congyu loves most—Jormungandr Train.

　However, Cong Yu only came to these conclusions later.

　Upon hearing the description of the giant serpent's attack, which seemed to "anchor a possibility," he began to speculate.

　but……

　What does the description of the form mean?

　Cong Yu asked this, slightly puzzled: "If you mean the other person is also a 'snake,' then actually, apart from my abilities, I don't exhibit any snake-like characteristics in my appearance... except for the temperature of my hair."

　Xiao Cui immediately replied to Cong Yu's question: "Because Su Ge said... the giant snake was wearing a scarf around its neck."

　Huh? Did he say that? Did Su Ge really say that?

　Cong Yuren

　I couldn't help but think back, and then I realized... well, it seems I really did say that, but what does that mean?

　Cong Yu looked at her neck, lost in thought: "I don't usually wear scarves."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang was shocked to realize what was happening. Lan Tian Zhu simply said, "Release Yuan An Apophis."

　“…” Cong Yu did as instructed, and then…

　He realized that the loose black ribbon wrapped around his neck really did look like a scarf.

　Chapter 1104 The Wedding Promise

　[Source Darkness Apophis: Huh? What are you doing?]

　As Yuan An Apophis seemed to have been awakened by her, Cong Yu pondered for a moment before stuffing her back into the box.

　Then, Cong Yu nodded, indicating that Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui were right: "Hmm... the giant snake is me from another world."

　Saying things like, "Actually, I'm the final boss!", Cong Yu slowly began to tell the truth he had learned this time.

　Basically, it's about how I met Bai Leliu, arrived at a transit world called "The Train," and then went to Bai Leliu's world to meet Moirai from Bai Leliu's world... and so on.

　This also includes conversations with Moilei, and after saying goodbye to Moilei, during a meal with Bai Lelu at the restaurant, where Moilei asked Moilei additional questions.

　And after saying all that...

　Cong Yu's words also caused the three of them to fall silent.

　No, it wasn't just the three of them; it also included Hong, who had just finished using the toilet, and Chi You, who had come downstairs after hearing the loud noise (the wall had exploded).

　In the ensuing silence, Lan Tianzhu finally spoke first, crossing her arms and asking, "Can we win?"

　Cong Yu took a deep breath, gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination.

　"It's not a wedding!"

　Halfway through his sentence, Cong Yu slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Lan Tianzhu, what are your intentions in leading me to say these things?!"

　Lan Tianzhu's expression changed several times in response, and he finally managed to suppress his laughter, maintaining an expression that said, "I can't hold it in any longer."

　so……

　Just how obsessed are you with your "expressionless" persona?! You used to be able to keep it on all the time, didn't you?!

　All I can say is... laugh if you want to laugh.

　While silently complaining to herself, Cong Yu thought for a moment before saying, "I really want to win."

　This is only natural...

　However, those present could not understand the uniqueness of Cong Yu's words... In fact, Cong Yu rarely "thought" about achieving certain things.

　The last time I had such hope was the last time...

　Ahem, the last time Cong Yu became a god amidst the world's expectations, he was eager to "respond" to those expectations.

　No matter how much you wish for it, it is still created by others.

　At this moment, Cong Yu truly, from the bottom of her heart and through her own reflection, wanted to win.

　It's the kind of winning that's like, "Hehe, I'm going to win!"

　However, there was no need to explain this to the others; Cong Yu would likely engage in rigorous training afterward.

　Try to master "Emotional Load" and "Determination Load" as early as possible to replenish your combat power...

　Even though Cong Yu couldn't imagine that after mastering two loading methods, he would gain a super boost and become invincible.

　It could even be said that, for the other me/the other source of darkness Apophis (combined), the other party is not just at the level of "the world".

　Giant snake...

　It's probably at the level of "enemy from the sky".

　"..." However, becoming stronger is always a good thing, and becoming stronger as much as possible is the best answer for the future...

　"I want to become stronger."

　Cong Yu said this while sitting on the sofa, uttering words that seemed abrupt and unlike anything he would normally say.

　Then, he turned to look at the few people who had briefly thought because of his words... to be precise, he looked at Yaochuan Guang.

　"So, Hikaru Yokawa?"

　Yao Chuan Guang was taken aback when Cong Yu suddenly mentioned his name: "Huh? What's wrong?"

　After Yaochuan Guang asked this question, Cong Yu, who was squeezed between her and Lan Tianzhu, also spoke up without hesitation—

　"Will you marry me?"

　"..." Upon hearing this question, Yaochuan Guang's eyes widened instantly, and then in the next instant... shyness or any other emotion surged up all at once.

　Although Hikaru Yokawa had previously said things like, "We'll do these things after we're married," when the topic of marriage actually came up...

　When Cong Yu asked her that question so directly, she still felt a little dizzy.

　It was probably a mixture of joy and shyness...

　Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui were also immediately taken aback. In their minds, Cong Yu/Brother Cong Yu wasn't the type to bring up this topic... Had he changed his ways?

　Amidst their confusion, Nijishita Kurenai couldn't help but launch into her own rant—

　"So, Cong Yu, you said 'You need to become stronger' in the first half of your sentence, and then you said 'You need to marry Yao Chuan Guang' in the second half. What's the logic behind that?"

　Could these be related?

　The question raised by Hong received approving glances from everyone, who seemed to agree that it was a strange logic... except for Yaochuan Guang.

　Yao Chuanguang still seemed dizzy.

　It's impossible to expect her to have any critical thinking ability.

　Cong Yu simply smiled and did not answer the question, but waited for Yao Chuan Guang's reply.

　Gradually, everyone turned their attention to Yaochuan Guang.

　Yao Chuanguang maintained her usual style when it came to this topic. She hesitated somewhat, saying, "Um...marriage..."

　Muttering to himself, Yaochuan Guang shyly raised his head and suggested, "How about we start by dating?"

　Grass……

　Such absurd words shocked everyone present.

　Cong Yu could no longer suppress his smile. He reached out and poked Yao Chuanguang's head with his finger: "What do you think couples should do?"

　Yao Chuanguang was taken aback by Cong Yu's question, then said very honestly, "I don't know!"

　She's never been in a relationship.

　Watching the interaction between the two, Xiao Cui already understood what Cong Yu was going to say: "For couples... living together, going to the amusement park together, watching movies together, and things like that."

　Yao Chuanguang's eyes lit up at Xiao Cui's words, and he held up a finger: "Yes, let's start with this."

　Indeed, many relationships between men and women begin and develop from this perspective.
