The Cunning Magical Girl

The magical girl's hands blazed with the light of a spell, reflecting her impatient expression. "I'll ask you one more time... Is the Nagashima family, known for their Identification Eye, here?"

Upon hearing this, the doorman immediately returned to normal, stopping picking his ear. "Hey, hey, it's here, it's here... sigh, it's not some kind of Identification Eye."

In reality, it's just the most basic associative and thinking abilities used to identify others by their hair color, hairstyle, and voice.

Although this ability is possessed only by the Nagashima family.

"However, if that's what you came for, then please leave... People of my generation with that ability have already gone out and made their own way."

"..." Upon hearing the doorman's words, the magical girl and the thin magical girl exchanged a glance, their eyes clearly showing disbelief.

But the doorman didn't care whether the two believed him or not.

"Come on, come on, if you want to go in, hurry up and go in. You'll know once you go and talk to them yourself... Don't bother me while I continue sunbathing."

The doorman waved, gesturing for the two magical girls to go inside. But afterward, he didn't forget to add a reminder: "Oh, and don't touch anything in the family's property... I'll find someone to show you around."

With that, he made a phone call, found someone to arrange guests, and led the two magical girls inside.

"..."

"Yawn--"

After yawning and seeing the guests inside, the doorman continued to lazily recline in his chair, "What an eventful year..."

Last year, someone else discovered the Nagashima family's secret and then offered them a high salary to work for them.

Now it seems two more have arrived.

If things continue like this, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for the Nagashima family, who live a life of seclusion in the city.

Who knows, we might attract some weirdos someday.

With this thought in mind, and worried that the strange man might forcibly kidnap us to see the magical girl's identity, the old doorman fell asleep.

However, he and the rest of the Nagashima family obviously had no idea...

In fact, compared to weirdos who have no need to investigate the magical girl's identity, sometimes... the wicked magical girl is more likely to be the unwelcome guest.

"..."

"Crackling and popping--"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"..."

"Crackling and popping--"

"No... you guys... ahhh..."

"..." Amidst screams, the doorman regained consciousness.

The heat that seeped into my body was endless; I looked up toward the Nagashima Main House mansion... everything had turned into a sea of fire.

Chapter 520 Thanos Alliance

"Okay, here is your child's school enrollment certificate... Please remember to attend the opening ceremony on April 6th."

Nagashima Riko accepted the proof from Nagashima Koki and expressed her gratitude.

Xiao Cui accepted her enrollment certificate and nodded to the older sister who had helped them with the procedures as a way of thanking her.

For a soon-to-be junior high school student, Xiao Cui's behavior is quite independent... an independent child of the new era in Japan!

Thinking of this, the older sister in charge couldn't help but look at Cong Yu and Xiao Cui... She was just guessing, after all, Cong Yu couldn't possibly be Xiao Cui's father.

It shouldn't be that bad...

Perhaps?

Thinking this way, the older woman couldn't help but think of a very famous teacher in the teaching circle who never grew up... the daughter of the principal of Wind City High School.

I forgot her name, but I remember her nickname at school was... a short, pink-haired, older, single teacher.

I've had over a dozen boyfriends. Six or seven of them ended up breaking off contact after we met, and three or four of them got arrested by the police while we were dating.

Several others dumped their online boyfriends because they felt their partners were too immature, even though they were under the influence of a "magic spell" on their teachers...

It's not impossible that the boy in front of us is in this situation.

Is it possible that the other person is single?

Mmm--

This is what the woman was thinking...

"..." Cong Yu naturally had no idea what the teacher below was imagining; he was simply watching Xiao Cui fill out her enrollment form on her own.

Ultimately, Xiao Cui is incapable of thinking in a normal way. Therefore, Cong Yu, as the "parent," has a rather easy time.

"Alright, my holiday is almost over..."

Nagashima Koki first sighed like this, then looked at her mother... But even though she said that, she didn't seem to have much resistance.

How should I put it?

Anyway, she had long since lost the innocence a child should have... Her terrible father had already brought her to the lowest level of expectation for the world.

Thank goodness he's dead, that felt so good!

Speaking of which, Xiao Cui also mentioned that the handsome older brother helped her resolve her terrible father and mother issues... Hmm, I see.

Turns out, the handsome guy is a horse hunter/father!

With this in mind, Nagashima Koki immediately began to enjoy the moment with a hopeful expression... She wanted to be a horse hunter someday.

There's definitely no such position in the group... I'll ask the Doctor later if I can get it done myself.

One has been established, under which personnel or something.

They specifically hunt down fathers or mothers who are bad to children, and then persuade those children to join the group.

They'll bring those delicious children up the mountain one by one.

Horse-Hunting Monster, Xiao Xi reporting for duty!

Just as Nagashima Koki was thinking this, walking home with her mother, Cong Yu, and Xiao Cui, she heard her phone ring.

The sound was familiar; it was my mom's phone ringtone.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the three, Nagashima Riko took out her phone and answered the call, "Moshi moshi, this is Nagashima Riko."

As Nagashima Riko greeted him, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to say something, after which Nagashima Riko's expression turned extremely surprised.

"..."

"What? What happened?"

"..."

"Unbelievable..."

"..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be right back."

With that, Nagashima Riko hung up the phone, then hesitated, glancing at Xiao Xi, then at Cong Yu...

"Mom, what's coming back?"

In response to Nagashima Koki's words, Nagashima Riko explained, "Something happened to the main house of the Nagashima family... It seems someone deliberately set it on fire."

"So the rest of the family wants me and Nagashima Koji to go to Xianggu Town... We couldn't get through to Nagashima Koji on the phone, so they came to inform me."

With that, Nagashima Riko sighed, then looked earnestly at Cong Yu: "Cong Yu, could I ask you to take care of Xiao Xi for a while?"

Although Nagashima Riko wasn't without other friends, she inexplicably felt very reassured entrusting her with Cong Yu.

"Huh? Me? Sure..."

As she said this, Cong Yu looked at Nagashima Koki and said, "Actually, you can just ask the group for help. The group has a comprehensive childcare service."

After all, many eccentrics had their own families before they became eccentric. When the group is on a mission, the children can't be left unattended.

"Oh, is that so? That's great... Then I'll trouble you to inform the 22nd Group. I'm sorry."

As Nagashima Riko said this, she hurriedly grabbed her documents and ran off, then quickly ran back and gave Xiao Cui the admission certificate and other documents.

I told her to put it at home, in a prominent and easy-to-remember place, and not to leave it lying around, and then I ran off again.

They look really anxious.

"... Something's happened to the Nagashima family..."

Cong Yu pondered this, stroking Nagashima Koki's head, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Cui's ability to see through the disguise of magic.

And what Gareth Yuan'an mentioned earlier about the Nagashima family's special abilities... could there be any connection?

By the way, does the head maid of the Yuan'an family know about this?

However, it's unlikely that someone was eyeing the Nagashima family's abilities and that's why they took action... After all, they could recruit them without resorting to arson.

They're probably enemies, right?

Cong Yu speculated on this, while Xiao Cui comforted her friend who was in trouble, "Please accept my condolences, Xiao Xi."

The only response she received was a bewildered look from Nagashima Koki.

"No need to accept my condolences, no need to accept my condolences..."

As she said this, Nagashima Koki waved her hands, "I've never been to the Nagashima Main House... and Nagashima is my father's surname, and my father died a long time ago."

Ah, that's really true.

Xiao Cui nodded thoughtfully... If you put yourself in her shoes, imagine what kind of family the Kagetsuru Family is, and then one day it catches fire.

Well, it has nothing to do with me.

While it wasn't exactly a cause for celebration, after all, apart from her two nominal parents and older brother, the rest of the Kagetsuru Family members were innocent.

But it feels similar to "a stranger suffering a disaster," not at all to the point where one needs to feel sorry for someone.

Although Aunt Nagashima didn't have any good memories of the surname Nagashima, the man named Nagashima Koji... his parents probably weren't any bad people either.

Therefore, Aunt Nagashima seemed quite concerned.

However, judging from Aunt Nagashima's words, Nagashima Koji's "disappearance" was indeed not mentioned to the Nagashima Main House.

Or perhaps it didn't spread widely enough.

"I see, no wonder you weren't sad, Xiao Xi."

Xiao Cui said this.

That's it.

Xiao Xi stood with her hands on her hips.

"Well--"

Cong Yu sighed softly, pondering the two children, who seemed to have a lot in common... Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

That's truly astonishing.

Chapter 521 The Insidious Magical Girl

The Nagashima family was completely destroyed by fire.

The surveillance footage showed that the killer appeared to be a group of magical girls who concealed their faces with magic.

They didn't transform, so it's impossible to recognize who they are.

Under such circumstances, solving the case is extremely difficult... Even with surveillance footage, it is still difficult to solve the case.

The entire the Nagashima family, except for those who were away at the time, perished in the fire.

Only a handful of people managed to escape unharmed.

"The callers were two magical girls who claimed to be there on business at the Nagashima family... They immediately engaged the thugs in battle after they saw them storm into the Nagashima family."

He fought back, but got beaten up... He escaped and called the police.

As he said this, the policeman looked at the girl wearing sunglasses beside him and asked, "Hello, miss, do you have anything to add?"
