Ayase Cong Yu

The style of the Wind City is quite out of place.

While Wind City is certainly not a small city, it's quite exaggerated in terms of its bustling atmosphere.

It can probably be used...

The phrase "indulging in sensual pleasures" perfectly describes this place.

"Ah... what's that?"

"It looks like there's some kind of event going on over there..." Takemikazuchi, perched on the Snow Woman's left shoulder, said, squinting at the distance.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Takemikazuchi looked towards the brightly lit street and gazed at the colorfully dressed human women there.

Not knowing much about this kind of thing, Takemikazuchi looked innocently at Cong Yu and Snow Woman, then glanced at the captain of the Purge Squad and the Masterpiece holding "Jianbudu No. 888".

Is this a blind date?

"Is this a blind date?" Takemikazuchi asked...

"..."

"No."

"Haha, yeah..."

"Masterpiece" answered honestly, then exchanged a glance with Cong Yu, who had answered "yes"... The two remained silent.

Then, Cong Yu pondered that Takemikazuchi wasn't a child, and was actually capable of knowing about these things.

So they changed their tune.

"That's definitely not it."

"That's a blind date."

Then, she exchanged a glance with the Snow Woman who had also said, "That's a blind date," and then they both fell silent.

So is it true or not?

Takemikazuchi was confused by these people, and his question was not easy to answer... or rather, answering it would be rather cumbersome and awkward.

Especially with Cong Yu, a "proper" man, in this group, it becomes even more complicated to explain.

So, in the end, it was the team leader who answered, "It was a short-term, impromptu blind date that lasted only about one night..."

"Because neither party is interested in the other, during blind dates, the man will give the woman a small meeting fee, and the woman will also give some compensation."

"..." Indeed, that interpretation is acceptable.

Cong Yu acknowledged the educational level of the squad leader of the Purge Squad.

"Oh, there are such strange blind dates..."

Takemikazuchi couldn't help but say this, then after a moment's thought, he realized something was wrong. "Isn't this just buying sex?!"

Suddenly realizing this, Takemikazuchi was speechless. He rolled his eyes and looked at the stunned crowd, wagging his tail back and forth.

"I'm not really a child... I've seen just as much as you have when I was a homeless person, I just haven't seen this style before."

Takemikazuchi said this, he muttered to himself as he turned to look, "I thought it was still sold in izakayas..."

"Who knew people would dress so scantily in public like this, without any restraint... I thought it was some kind of cosplay."

As Takemikazuchi began to speak, Cong Yu immediately burst out laughing.

"Pfft--"

Unable to hold back any longer, Cong Yu suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha... I'm laughing, hahaha, no wonder it's cosplay!"

Miss Masterpiece, Snow Woman, and Takemikazuchi all tilted their heads at the same time.

The movements were almost synchronized...

The innocent children failed to notice that Takemikazuchi's words contained an interesting satire of the changing times.

Takemikazuchi himself was completely oblivious to his own limitations.

However, the captain understood, and she couldn't help but smile, but she didn't talk about cosplay... because she felt it wasn't that serious yet.

Although the atmosphere of anime conventions has become increasingly off as they've been held more and more, it's not to the point of being described as a sales event... well, that's all.

"Perhaps it's because the competition is fierce... times have changed."

The captain said this, and Cong Yu added, "And times will only get more and more different... Please witness it--"

Captain: "We should also follow the trend."

Cong Yu: "That's true."

Captain: "Speaking of which, the prosperity of Central City before was only seen in North Capital... It really took quite a while to restore it to its former glory."

Cong Yu: "Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of the culprit?"

Captain: "Ah, that's true."

"..." The two walked towards the city hall while talking, discussing the state of the Japan industry during the collapse of the bubble economy.

They seemed to be getting along very well.

Both the Snow Woman- onna holding Takemikazuchi and the "Masterpiece" holding "Jianbudu No. 888" were forgotten by the two of them.

Snow Woman: "..."

Masterpiece:"..."

In the ensuing silence, the two people following behind them exchanged a glance.

Snow Woman: My Cong Yu...

Masterpiece: My Commander-in-Chief...

"..." I tested it, and there's a cow!

Thinking this, the Snow Woman- onna, who didn't seem like a "Masterpiece" at all, immediately followed Cong Yu.

While the two were having a dizzying discussion about whether the bursting of the bubble was mainly due to a domestic demand-stimulating policy or the rapid appreciation of the currency, Snow Woman chose to interject.

"We're almost there... Cong Yu, have you figured out how to communicate with the mayor of Central City and persuade him to abandon his plans to revive the Central City's economy?"

Cong Yu shrugged indifferently at Snow Woman's words, saying, "I've thought about it... I don't need to worry about this."

As she said this, Cong Yu looked at the Central City Hall not far away. "That's something the mayor needs to consider... I just need to tell him that I know what you want to do, and that I oppose your idea."

"It's enough to make this clear. Whether he backs down or not is his business... because I've already made my thoughts clear."

In other words, Cong Yu doesn't need to think about things like "What if the economy collapses?"

They should just offer their opinions; Mayor Sang will come up with the solutions.

What? He can't figure it out, and he's planning to continue secretly working on the "Weirdo, Come Back!" plan... then we'll just have to change the mayor.

That makes perfect sense!

Perhaps this is just the capriciousness of the Monster King.

"Cong Yu, how are you going to meet the mayor later, and how are you going to introduce us...? Domo, we are the Monster King Desu, is that alright?"

Takemikazuchi asked this, Cong Yu opened her mouth, then patted Takemikazuchi on the shoulder. "Don't learn these things from Xiao Cui anymore... You'd better forget them as soon as possible."

Xiao Cui is a very influential child.

With this in mind, Cong Yu looked at the city hall and the many magical girls from the Magical Girl Association: "We don't need to ask them to... I asked the Magical Girl Association to discuss this matter."

By now, the mayor should be aware of the situation and feeling quite overwhelmed, right?

Cong Yu thought to herself.

Then...

Cong Yu suddenly smelled a sulfurous odor, and he looked in the direction of the smell towards the Central City Hall.

No... could it be...?

"..."

"Boom!!!!!!"

A terrifying explosion and blazing flames instantly filled everyone's vision... The city hall was blown up, and many magical girls were thrown back by the shockwave.

Everyone was stunned.

Amidst the stunned silence, "Masterpiece" calmly stated the blunt truth. "It seems the mayor no longer needs to worry about the economic recovery of Central City..."

Yes, because he's probably already dead from the explosion.

Chapter 501 Lingbo Cong Yu

The situation is complicated.

How should I put it?

The fire department is putting out the fire, and the magical girls are rescuing people and fighting the fire... But what everyone sees in front of them is the entire city hall that has exploded.

In the instant the flames erupted, all that remained were fragments scattered across the ground.

Mayor?

Ha, you're in Heaven now!

We don't even know where the body is...

Moreover, it wasn't just the mayor of Central City who was killed; many other people working in the city hall also perished in the explosion.

Fortunately, the magical girls from the Magical Girl Association were already on site and could directly carry out disaster relief work.

However, this put Cong Yu and her group in a rather awkward position.

The people who were supposed to meet were probably killed in the bombing, and the entire plan was disrupted... It's unlikely they could help with disaster relief either.

It's not a matter of whether or not you can lower your pride...

After all, the people present were all the kind who didn't have much of a presence.

It's best to leave professional matters to professionals... If you can't save lives, don't meddle.

It might actually do more harm than good.

With this attitude, the group quietly stayed at a distance, watching the magical girls chant spells to help the fire truck extinguish the fire.

The experienced residents of Central City were already used to sudden, massive explosions, and they were still a little unaccustomed to the recent decrease in explosions.

So those who save lives save lives, bystanders watch, and passersby pass by.

It's so smooth and harmonious... it inexplicably gives this "commonplace" scene a kind of dark humor.

However, they weren't from Wind City, but from Central City, so there weren't many onlookers... If it were Wind City, there would definitely be a huge crowd of people coming to watch and have some fun.

One of the unspoken rules for office workers in Wind City--

If there's something interesting to watch outside the window, then you can slack off and watch; the boss and superiors won't mind... because they're also enjoying the show.

.

Even so, no matter which city it is, simply standing by and watching from the sidelines will inevitably have some impact on disaster relief efforts.

They were also worried about a secondary explosion that could endanger the onlookers.

So, the magical girl quickly and politely began to shoo people away, rushing them from the east side of Central City Avenue to the west side without even blinking.

What? You're asking me if their eyes are dry?

I said they were chasing people away, and you asked me if their eyes were dry?

These magical girls seemed to have noticed Cong Yu and the others. So they walked over and said in a clear, melodious, and gentle voice, "Everyone... Oh my god! Snow Woman?!"

The magical girl instantly recognized the Snow Woman, jumped back in fright, and then noticed Takemikazuchi.

"Holy crap, isn't that... that one?!"

Being pointed at rudely by the magical girl, Takemikazuchi proudly raised his head... Haha, now he, Takemikazuchi, is quite famous too!

That Nameless Nobody, Takemikazuchi, is dead. He is no longer the Hobo King who wandered around and nobody knew him!

Hahaha!

Under Takemikazuchi's proud expression, the magical girl remembered. "The Dog King' meme that our city is promoting... the resemblance is amazing!"
