A Punching Bag Has Appeared (Joy)

This guy is such a coward...

He's greedy and cowardly; aside from being somewhat loyal, there's basically nothing to rely on him for.

"Where did you run off to?"

Tereido asked Dente irritably, "Escape to Africa? Or find a small country, or hide somewhere..."

"Desolate wilderness?"

That would be too tiring.

There's really no need for that.

"That's true."

Dente thought that made sense, and commented, "But your people are so loyal, wouldn't it be unfair to them if you were to commit suicide?"

Tereido: "???"

Tereido immediately became angry, feeling that this guy was getting more and more out of control, so she grabbed something from her pocket and started hitting him while cursing.

"Who wants to die?! Who wants to die?!"

In response, our poor magical girl Dente immediately let out a sound of pain mixed with pleasure... This is certainly not because she is a pervert.

"Ahhh--"

Instead...

"..." Little Shadow, who was mixing drinks nearby, watched Dente being whipped with a bundle of coins by Torredo and screaming happily. She felt that these two guys were really... lively.

Well, it was quite amusing.

Zongzheng Ximei also showed an envious expression, saying with a wistful tone, "They have a very good relationship—"

Little Shadow: "???"

How did you figure that out? Do high school girls think that one person giving money to the other is a sign of a good relationship?

JK girls these days are really getting creative.

With this in mind, Little Shadow simply said to the two of them, "Don't worry, your protection money hasn't expired yet..."

22nd Group will continue to protect Tereido until next year.

During this process, even if Death were to come and take Tereido's life, he would have to wait until next year to be allowed to act.

Therefore, Little Shadow continued to carry out her work at a leisurely pace, occasionally watching videos in her spare time.

"You decide for yourself. If you feel you can't solve it on your own, just give Cong Yu a call."

As she said this, Little Shadow stretched out her hand, making some kind of hand gesture with her dark hand. "However, in this case, there will be extra charge."

Zongzheng Ximei thought that Little Shadow -sama was gesturing with her fingers was probably a gesture to ask for money.

However, Little Shadow's hand was just a black silhouette, so it was difficult to tell exactly what gesture she was making.

Well, from this perspective... actually, Little Shadow doesn't need light projection to play shadow puppet games.

That's incredible! This is the Monster's victory!

"Hmm, thank you, but it's probably unnecessary."

With that, Tereido wore a comical expression. "So, that's all the Thirteen Clans are like... Are they really that good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting?"

While Tereido was speaking so arrogantly, Dente quietly spoke up, "But, isn't it because they're good at fighting that they forced you to come to Japan? Otherwise, we'd still be living the high life in Naples..."

Tereido: Stare--

Under Tereido's unfriendly gaze, Dente silently shut his mouth, realizing that he probably shouldn't have spoken the truth.

With a stern look, Tereido silenced the mouthless D, and continued, "Okay, being able to fight is certainly useful... but not entirely."

At least until you reach Little Shadow's level, you can't make all the decisions.

"Many of the Goodwill Faction clans are living much more comfortably than the Thirteen Clans, like our Toreador Clan..."

"We've run into trouble, but the local magical girls will come to help us solve it. The Church helped me out of a predicament before."

As Tereido said this, seeing Dente about to speak again, she covered her mouth with one hand. "I know what you're going to say, it's true that you summoned the magical girls for the Church... but that has nothing to do with the taxes we pay."

The Toreador Clan's businesses operate all over the world, and they rarely experience any issues adapting to different environments.

It has also generated considerable tax revenue for various countries.

That's why Tereido can be considered to have some prestige... maybe not too much, but definitely enough.

Taxes paid?

However, as a magical girl, Dente naturally possesses the qualities expected of a magical girl, such as those clear, fish-like lips... She blinked, not quite understanding.

What does this have to do with paying taxes?

Hmm, I understand... Tereido has dementia.

Dente was certain of this, but dared not say it aloud. She knew that if she revealed the truth, the consequences would likely be—

(`ー)-$$$(XvX)

Like that.

However, being hit by money isn't such a bad feeling.

"So you're going to ask the Church's magical girls for help? They probably don't have the ability... So you're going to look for other forces?"

Little Shadow asked, looking at Tereido, "Actually, it would be better to let Cong Yu handle it. With Thirteen Clans, I'd give you one million per clan, isn't that a good deal?"

We should keep the good stuff within the family!

Little Shadow's eyes clearly conveyed this meaning.

"I don't need to pay for this."

As Tereido spoke, she prepared to make the contact, saying, "As you know, my family runs a small business in United States."

That's true.

And they also knew it wasn't a small business...

To be more precise, it's a super big business.

"Therefore, we also have [something] with the United States. military."

"A little bit of face... maybe just a tiny bit."

As she said this, Tereido held up her finger, making a gesture that sounded like "just a little bit"...

Dente smiled and held up one finger in response.

"Haha, showing off again."

Seeing the displeased look on Tereido's face, Dente immediately straightened up and sat up straight. "It's alright, continue, I'll remain loyal!"

"..." After Dente's outburst, Tereido lost all interest in pretending. She simply started making a phone call, "Walmart is the largest defense contractor in the United States... I need to borrow the military briefly."

"Then let Japan know... Anyway, the Japan are quite compliant with United States, so they won't mind too much."

"..." Just a quick borrowing..."

Army?!

Chapter 331 The Sandbag Appears (Joyful)

The magical girls present were waiting for Red to start her lesson... Today's lesson was "Array," which Yaochuan Guang had been eagerly anticipating.

In addition, Xiao Cui and Lantian Zhu will also audit courses on "Self Technique".

This will help the two deepen their understanding of spells, open up new avenues for original spells, fill the gaps in the disorganized and chaotic theoretical knowledge within the magical girl system, address the key pain point of "not focusing on practical application," and achieve...

Well, that's all.

It can only be said that, without realizing it, Hong has become more and more like a teacher, and has gradually begun to truly consider herself the teacher of these magical girls.

This is probably a good thing...

However, in the world of superpowers, being a teacher is always considered a high-risk profession. Cong Yu can easily think of many teachers who have been sacrificed to the heavens.

Some deaths were tragic and heroic, while others were chilling and terrifying.

Some even died feeling apologetic for not being able to get others to use their full strength.

Yes, I hope that Kurenai can live a strong life and that things don't turn out like "[There's no time to Sorrow for Hong Xiawu Hong's death, and then...]".

"A few days ago, a Europe armed violent group hijacked five yachts that were on an international voyage and brutally murdered thousands of people."

"They have now been apprehended by Interpol and the United States Second Column on the high seas... Judging from the yacht's trajectory, its destination was Japan."

"Yacht parties are horrible."

As Yaochuan Guang scrolled through his phone, he said this without paying much attention to the news notification: "Luckily, we're not traveling abroad."

In response, Xiao Cui offered a pointed remark. "Sister Yaochuan... we don't have the money for a yacht trip either."

Indeed.

What a tragic story.

"Hmm..."

As Yaochuan Guang pondered, Cong Yu rested her chin on her hand, feeling that something was off about this news push...

It feels a bit odd.

And at this time...

"Children, I'm back!"

With that, Red announced her return in a strange way, "Let the teaching begin, let the teaching begin!"

"Although you probably won't be able to learn how to create your own 'array' during this holiday, it's always good to familiarize you with the principles first."

Hong stood confidently with her hands on her hips on this wasteland not far from the school, where she and Little Lan had once confided their deepest feelings to each other.

In fact, the main goal of the teaching is Yaochuan Guang.

Because of Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui, Hong and Cong Yu were not entirely sure whether they could learn the array formation techniques.

But to be honest...

If Yaochuan Guang could successfully learn it, even if he only learned 50% or 60% of the Red Technique's strength, let alone 70% or 80%, that would be quite extraordinary.

With the help of the private inflicting injury techniques taught by Cong Yu and the fighting skills he had previously practiced, Yaochuan Guang is already very strong.

To put it simply, it's almost enough for the Wind City Squad to get a decent meal in Central City, with at least two leek dumplings per meal.

They ate their fill, getting all the necessary nutrition.

If all three of them can learn it, then the Wind City Squad will truly be extraordinary, reaching the master level.

Among magical girls, she is considered one of the top.

This might be what we call exceptional talent.

"..." Cong Yu thought to herself, sitting quietly on the edge of the wasteland with Yaochuan Guang and the others, listening to Hong babbling on and on about the principles in front of them.

Cong Yu was completely unaware that Xiao Cui, after various training and instruction from the Doctor, had developed her own private playing style.

Now it's just a matter of whether some clueless weirdo will suddenly appear and start causing trouble, only to be caught by the already formidable Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui.

Let us observe a moment of silence for the next victim.

"..."

"Damn humans! Damn Tereido..."

The Vampire, soaking wet, cursed as if he had just been pulled from the ocean.

However, he had actually just come out of the water, and he had swum up on his own with great difficulty... Fortunately, he made it to shore successfully.

Otherwise, I would really have died in the water.

"Those who lack martial ethics, the evil United States!"
