Xixia and the Little Elf / Dente: I'm Fighting a Fraud?

"Yay! It's so great that Cong Yu- chan likes everyone!"

Yaochuan Guang's words surprised and even astonished Cong Yu, who already had a somewhat wicked sense of humor.

Then, Yaochuan Guang corrected him, saying, "However, Cong Yu- chan is wrong about one thing..."

Cong Yu: "?"

Seeing Cong Yu's puzzled expression, Yaochuan Guang said earnestly, "I also like Cong Yu and everyone... not just a little, but I like them a lot."

I love it so much!

Chapter 569 Xijia and the Little Sprite

He's dead.

Xixia Yanping and his bodyguard are dead...

The former died from brain damage caused by a severe fall onto a table; by the time he was discovered, it was too late to save him.

The latter, on his way back to his Nishi-ga residence from the izakaya that evening, fell asleep by the roadside and gradually rolled into the river, where he drowned while intoxicated.

The bodyguards in Xijia naturally didn't attract much attention.

However, the death of Xixia Yanping, the nephew of Xixia Yi, who was a potential heir to the Xixia family, still caused quite a stir.

Many people speculate that this was a murder, a homicide.

But no matter how the police investigated, they could only conclude that it was an "accidental death"—he tripped and fell, then hit the corner of the coffee table.

Even magical girls can only come to the same conclusion.

Perhaps that's the truth?

"..."

"Call..."

Xixia Yi took a deep breath; he was the only person in the world who knew that "Nagashima Koki and Xixia Lian the same school."

Logically, the only person who should know the truth is Nishiga's bodyguard; according to the surveillance footage, he entered Xixia Yanping's room.

The police did not investigate this matter, since they are all family members and it is normal for them to visit each other.

However, Xixia Yi knew that something was wrong.

Because Xijia's bodyguards are his people, his daughter Xixia Lian's personal bodyguards... and they are members of his faction.

From a moral standpoint, it would have been wrong to contact Xixia Yi, who was considered "another faction."

In other words, whether it's Xixia Yi's imagination or unfounded speculation, he judged... the reason the two were "killed" was precisely because they were "in the know".

Those who wanted to protect Nagashima Koki silently eliminated Xixia Yanping and his bodyguard, making it look like a suicide.

And what about him?

He, Xixia Yi, was also in the know... Would he, too, one day die due to an "accident"?

I've been thinking about this issue a lot lately; Xixia Yi isn't doing very well.

"Boss! What's wrong? You look terrible..."

When the butler saw Xixia Yi suddenly stand up, his face pale, he was startled. "Are you alright, boss?"

To the butler's words, spoken with a Kansai accent, Xixia Yi shook his head. "Ha, it's nothing... I just haven't been sleeping well these past few days dealing with the funeral arrangements."

As she said this, Xixia Yi took a deep breath. "What about Lian? Has Lian been sent to school yet?"

The butler frowned at Xixia Yi's words. "Boss, you..."

"Forgot? The master made the young lady miss a few days of regular school and enrolled her in elite classes... You said it wasn't necessary, so she's already gone to school."

Xixia Yi was just asking casually; she didn't mean anything by "class" or "elite class," but that was that.

I've been feeling really bad lately, and my work performance has been terrible too.

"I understand... Oh, by the way, please compile this month's household financial statements and bring them to me tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing Xixia Yi's words, the butler quickly nodded in agreement. "Alright, then... is there anything else?"

After Xixia Yi nodded, the butler left the room.

The feeling of being watched persists.

Yes, the feeling of being stared at... it's like something is staring at you, without blinking.

Aside from hiding in small cubicles when he needs to use the toilet, he can feel the fear of being observed.

Deep in the dark corridor at night...

Outside the window...

Ventilation duct opening...

They are everywhere.

Although I don't know what they are, they are everywhere.

"Huff... huff..."

Sitting in his office, Xixia Yi took a deep breath, scrutinizing everything around him with apprehension... everything that might be hiding something.

In the cracks of doors, behind lamps, behind ornaments...

Xixia Yi hoped to find something, even if he suspected that seeing the "Observer" would mean his own death.

If he doesn't find peace of mind soon, he really will have a mental breakdown.

"Come out... come out..."

As she spoke softly, Xixia Yi's voice unconsciously carried a hint of pain and pleading. "Come out, come out..."

"..."

"..." As for the request from her classmate's father, Xiao Cui, being the most loving magical girl (questionable), naturally decided to grant his request.

A soft rustling sound...

"..."

"Hehe squeak--"

There's movement...

Xixia Yi suddenly raised his head, listening to a faint sound coming from behind his cabinet... It was definitely something "alive" moving.

And it's ready to be released.

Were they planning to kill him?!

With a tense expression, Xixia Yi stared intently at that corner, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid. "Huff... huff... huff..."

Am I going to die? My heart... longing...

I...

Just as the images were flashing before Xixia Yi's eyes, the "observer" finally revealed his identity—

"Twitter--"

It's Little Sprite!

"..." Xixia Yi: "Huh?"

--

Sitting upright, Xixia Yi had more or less grasped the situation... Yes, he truly was an observer.

This little creature is an observer.

Equally pretentious, sitting on the coffee table in front of him was a cute Little Sprite with beautiful wings.

It is the observer who observes whether he is a bad person.

Yes, that's roughly how you understand it.

Judging from the message conveyed by this Little Sprite in its crooked, handwritten form, Xixia Yanping and his bodyguard died because of "evil."

In other words, Nishigata, who knew the news but chose not to take any action and did not immediately prepare to kidnap Nagashima Koki... received a get-out -Xixia Yi -jail-free card precisely because of his choice.

Of course, it wasn't that Xixia Yi didn't want to do something.

But compared to "kidnapping," he felt it would be better to use his daughter's connection to ask Nagashima Koki for help at a crucial moment...

Or rather, this is what a normal person should think.

It is not those who have long held high positions, those who are ambitious but incompetent, gamblers, or those who have the idea of "control".

Xixia Yi a compromiser, the kind of person who prefers conservative thinking.

That's why I was spared...

With this thought in mind, Xixia Yi relaxed completely... and all wariness towards the Little Sprite disappeared.

After all, the Little Sprite is so cute, almost like the little flower fairy in fairy tales, so what she said must be the truth.

Murder is always done to kill bad people.

Xixia Yi didn't consider himself a bad person, naturally felt relieved...

After all, Little Sprite are very cute.

The Little Sprite is so cute.

The Little Sprite is so cute!

I'll say it three times because it's important.

Xiao Cui: How do you say "show your head and it's gone in seconds"? Show your head and it's gone in seconds!

Chapter 570 Dente: I'm going to blow up?

"A rare guest... would you like something to drink?"

In response to Little Shadow's question, Lantian Zhu pondered for a moment, "Anything new? No... an olive martini would be fine."

As Lantian Zhu skillfully and nostalgically sat down at the bar, watching Zongzheng Ximei pick up the cocktail shaker... it seemed as if she was the one who would mix her drinks.

Lantian Zhu didn't seem to care much about this.

You could even say that at this moment, Lantian Zhu felt a little guilty because he considered himself to have "sneaked out to drink."

He just hoped that Cong Yu could say a few words on his behalf.

Otherwise, when I get home, I might get bitten by Yaochuan Guang.

"Oh, you've come this way?"

Dente, sitting to the side, said this, pointing at Lantian Zhu in surprise. "The magical girl from Wind City, she really does collude with weirdos!"

Lantian Zhu gave Dente a puzzled look.

He glanced around at the bar filled with weirdos, then at Tereido reading a book next to Dente... It was certainly possible to accuse Lantian Zhu of "colluding with weirdos."

After all, Cong Yu was also an oddball, and it was Lantian Zhu and the others who took the initiative to approach him, wanting to join his evil ways.

In the future, there might be questions on the internet such as "Why does the King of Wind City preserve the history of his life with Magical Girl☆ Blue Sky☆-chan?"

Even so, why does Dente have the right to speak like that?

(Vampire captives, step forward!)

(Dente: Here!)

Lantian Zhu looked at Dente and shook his head helplessly. "Do you have the right to talk to me like that? Aren't you here with Tereido just like me?"

What do you mean by "colluding with eccentrics"? That's prejudice!

Putting the facts aside, couldn't it just be [weirdos and magical girls going along with each other... going along with each other]?!

Lantian Zhu's hands and feet turned ice-cold, and he was so angry that he was trembling all over... I forgot what happened next.

Hehe--

In short, when will magical girls finally be able to stand up?!
