Living with Magical Girls, but I'm a Monster Executive

A massive, illusory Giant Serpent swallowed the Monster King from below, then vanished upward into the clouds.

The girl stared blankly at the vanished Giant Serpent and asked in confusion, "Huh? Did that Monster King get eaten? And where did this snake come from?"

Disciple, where did you come from?!

Your thought process really isn't normal!!!

A Beautiful Cong Yu

"Cong Yu-chan, you said earlier that you sensed something and told me to go back first... What exactly did you sense?"

Yaochuan Guang asked curiously as she served Cong Yu more rice... Today's meal was Chinese cuisine, and they were having fried rice.

The dishes included common fare such as eight-treasure vegetables, sweet-and-sour pork with pineapple, mapo tofu, shredded pork with green peppers, and twice-cooked pork.

For a table of three, Yaochuan Guang had straightforwardly made seven or eight dishes, and she had been doing so ever since Cong Yu arrived.

This was enough to show Yaochuan Guang's cooking skills.

Or, to put it in a more sentimental way, perhaps it also proved Yaochuan Guang's love for this home.

"I sensed someone watching us. Not ordinary watching, but staring at us, so I went to see what was going on."

Cong Yu answered as he scooped up a spoonful of mapo tofu, his expression somewhat complicated... It was not spicy enough, making it a little sweet.

It was not that Yaochuan Guang's mapo tofu was inauthentic, but Lantian Zhu could not handle overly spicy food, so a compromise had been made.

Though he was helpless about it, Cong Yu could not exactly say something like, If you can't eat spicy food, practice more!

"Huh? Cong Yu-chan, you can sense that too?"

Yaochuan Guang glanced at him sideways, clearly wearing a suspicious expression that said, You're not making things up again, are you?

"..." Cong Yu pursed his lips, took a bite of fried rice, and retorted, "You idiot, don't underestimate a pretty boy's intuition."

Yaochuan Guang: A pretty boy's intuition?

Lantian Zhu: Pretty boy?

The two looked at Cong Yu at the same time... Though they had to admit that Cong Yu really was qualified to call himself a pretty boy.

If the appearances of these two magical girls were compared using quantified values based on the standards of the opposite sex... it would probably be around 1:1:1.3.

In other words, if Cong Yu were a woman, with his looks transformed accordingly, he would be even prettier than the two of them.

But...

"..."

"Pfft—"

Before Yaochuan Guang could respond, Lantian Zhu could not hold back and laughed. She then tried hard to regain her composure. "Sorry."

After saying that, Lantian Zhu, who had returned to her usual calm state, paused and explained her behavior. "I just didn't expect you to be the kind of character who'd say something like that, Cong Yu."

"..." What the hell did she mean by character setting?

Thinking that, Cong Yu, who had finished eating, set his bowl aside and said seriously, "I've always spoken the truth."

"..."

"Hehe—"

"Pfft—"

This time, Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu laughed at the same time... Something even funnier than Cong Yu calling himself a pretty boy had appeared.

Both his serious expression and the words he had said were hilarious.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Yaochuan Guang coughed three times. Looking at Cong Yu, who shook his head helplessly, she tried to become serious. "Cough, cough. So, Cong Yu-chan, what did your investigation find?"

Naturally, Cong Yu had to hide his previous conversation with those two, so he shook his head. "I didn't find anything."

"..."

"Hahaha! Then why were you talking about a pretty boy's intuition? Hahaha..."

"Pfft—cough..."

"..." Cong Yu's mouth twitched as he narrowed his eyes at the two of them. "Laugh. Go ahead and laugh... I'll remove my seal later."

At that, Yaochuan Guang laughed even louder.

However, she soon spoke seriously again. "Cong Yu-chan, you have to be careful next time something like this happens... What if you run into a monster? At least take me with you. I can protect you, at least."

—

"I'm done washing up, Cong Yu."

Seeing Lantian Zhu emerge wrapped in a bath towel, Cong Yu, who had been scrolling through his phone, knew she was signaling for him to take a bath.

Cong Yu stood up with his clothes in hand and looked at Yaochuan Guang. She was currently lying on the sofa, continuously swinging her calves back and forth.

It looked rather like she was trying to kick her own butt with her heels.

Though he had no idea what weird thing she was doing this time, Cong Yu still gestured for the two of them to look over, then solemnly announced, "After I shower, I'm removing my seal."

Yaochuan Guang waved her hand speechlessly. "Go shower, go shower. You've said it two or three times already. Cong Yu-chan, you're so boring."

Cong Yu: "..."

Cong Yu would remember this grudge!

Yaochuan Guang glanced at Cong Yu as he entered the bathroom. Though she had acted impatient earlier, she was actually curious.

With some anticipation, Yaochuan Guang sat up. Listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, she asked, "Little Lan, what do you think Cong Yu means by removing his seal?"

Lantian Zhu pondered for a moment, then recalled the contents of the "manga" she had read last night...

A faint blush immediately appeared on her face.

"Well... probably..."

Hesitating, Lantian Zhu swallowed and guessed, "Maybe he's removing the seal on the Beast Within."

After all, throughout his time living with the two of them, Cong Yu had always behaved like a gentleman and remained very composed.

But the "manga" said that the more a boy was like that, the more he hoped to be pushed down by the older sisters he lived with.

Then, in the latter half of the story, the little boy who had always been toyed with might awaken and turn the tables on the older sisters! Completely crush them!!

That was how Lantian Zhu understood it.

But Yaochuan Guang did not understand...

Beast Within?

Yaochuan Guang was a little confused. She carefully considered the phrase... and felt it might be some really cool ultimate move release.

Something like "Sword in the Stone."

A name like Beast Within (Srce on Beast) also sounded perfectly fitting.

"Ah, I'm kind of looking forward to it."

Yaochuan Guang gave that assessment, while Lantian Zhu widened her eyes and then nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you to deal with Cong Yu after he awakens."

"Huh? Is it that powerful? What kind of ultimate move is it..."

Yaochuan Guang clearly did not understand what Lantian Zhu meant by "deal with." She nervously poked her. "How about... we fight it together instead?"

While Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu were having a conversation completely on different wavelengths... the bathroom door opened.

"Swish—"

Then Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu both widened their eyes as they looked at the long-haired boy before them.

Cong Yu, who had always worn his hair in a ponytail, had not tied it up this time. Instead, he simply let his beautiful, silky long hair cascade down like a waterfall.

Cong Yu casually raised a hand and brushed aside the hair covering his right eye, revealing a delicate face that drew the eye.

It was difficult to describe it in concrete words.

But it was clearly different from his usual restraint... At that moment, Cong Yu was brazenly and arrogantly displaying an uninhibited air.

If Cong Yu's usual impression was that of a "handsome, gentle guy," then someone seeing him now would clearly have their first impression be...

A professional who made a living off his looks.

As for what profession... Ahem, something like a host, though not specifically a male host. His beauty seemed to transcend gender.

And because they rarely saw Cong Yu in a state with his charm turned all the way up, both Lantian Zhu and Yaochuan Guang were stunned.

"Well? I really am a pretty boy."

As he said that, Cong Yu winked at the two of them, though he clearly did not understand... Rather than handsome, he was beautiful.

Where had this beauty come from?

Cockroach Attack?

Normally, Cong Yu was the one who stayed in the living room the latest before returning to his room, not for any particular reason.

Basically, he was simply too lazy to move elsewhere.

Or rather, he was too lazy to carry his laptop elsewhere. So he generally left his computer on the coffee table in the living room.

Interestingly enough, though, he was not using his laptop right now.

Instead, he was lying on the sofa, fiddling with his phone.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Cong Yu: "..."

A call was coming in. The caller ID read [Publishing House Editor (Female)]. He thought about it, then answered.

The instant the call connected, he immediately said, "Moshi moshi, this is Heisei Boob University."

"..." There was a moment of silence on the other end before a confused voice asked, "Teacher CY?"

Cong Yu: "What?"

"..." The editor on the other end knew she had been toyed with. Hearing Teacher CY's irritated tone, she almost felt like crying.

She was just making a phone call. Why was his attitude so terrible?

But she still had to ask what she needed to ask.

"Teacher CY, when do you plan to send this month's manuscript? Also, could you let us take a look at next month's manga in advance?"

At her question, Cong Yu glanced at the blank canvas still open in his drawing software, where he had not drawn a single stroke.

Cong Yu felt a little guilty, but he still declared with absolute confidence, "It's finished. I only have the final touches left."

The editor's voice was clearly pleased by Cong Yu's firm response. "Is that so? That's wonderful. Can it be released next week?"

Cong Yu: "Well... that might be a little difficult."

"Then the week after next?"

Cong Yu: "The schedule is still a little tight."

"No way... Then the week after that?"

Cong Yu: "You know, sometimes the finishing work needs more time to polish... Pursuing perfection, you know, boss."

Wouldn't that already be next month?!!!

"..."

"You bastard! You haven't drawn much at all, have you?!"

The voice on the other end was clearly furious as she questioned Cong Yu's progress. "How much have you actually drawn? Can you tell me the truth?"

Cong Yu: "..."

"..." Cong Yu said, "Hello, this is Heisei Boob University."
