I Really Am a Good Person
"Hmm... Uncle and Auntie were lying after all."
As Xiao Cui said this, her eyes filled with Sorrow, "Actually, they never intended for me to go to school in Wind City."
Xiao Cui didn't mention anything related to Cong Yu when she spoke; instead, she lamented... lamenting the "evil" of her adoptive parents.
Cong Yu rested her chin on her hand and nodded gently.
"Yes, that's right, they want to sell you."
As Cong Yu on her hand, she suddenly understood something.
Actually, Xiao Cui left her Little Sprite spell in this room... not because she sensed Cong Yu's presence.
Instead, she wanted to see if her adoptive parents were lying.
As Cong Yu thought, Xiao Cui's eyes showed some relief. She got up and made a cup of tea for both Cong Yu and herself.
Then, looking at her tea with a touch of shyness, she said softly, "Thank you, big brother... Are you the Monster Hero?"
Damn, I'm so happy.
Cong Yu almost burst out laughing... "Monster Hero," I laughed just reading it. If he's weird, how can he be considered a hero? A true hero? A Monster Hero?
This is... completely different!
I think I am.
Cong Yu responded with a smile, realizing that Xiao Cui actually supported his actions quite a bit, one could even say...
In fact, he carried out the action that Xiao Cui had originally wanted to take.
Realizing this, Cong Yu suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "I have a question... what would you do if I didn't help you?"
Although Cong Yu's main purpose was not to help Xiao Cui, he did not hesitate to use a different excuse at this moment.
Trying to gain favor, isn't it?
"If brother... um..."
Xiao Cui pursed her lips, and after a while, she decided to answer honestly without lying, "Kill."
"..." Short and powerful! Very short and powerful indeed!
This kid is a natural-born eccentric!
"Good!"
Saying with satisfaction
Cong Yu reached out her hand, and Xiao Cui Cong Yu trembled slightly when she saw it... but she didn't react much.
Only when Cong Yu placed his hand on her head did she realize that Cong Yu actually just wanted to pat her head, and she lowered her head and nuzzled him in relief.
Xiao Cui felt that the older brother's palms were very warm.
Cong Yu: "..."
"Don't tell me your adoptive parents still beat you?"
Xiao Cui nodded silently to Cong Yu 'Cong Yu words, then sat down closer to him so that it would be easier for him to pat her head.
At the same time, her tears began to drip down her cheeks, leaving obvious tear stains on the tatami mat on the floor.
"Waaaaah--"
It seems the boss and his wife are becoming increasingly outrageous.
Reflecting on this, Cong Yu pondered for a moment and began to defend herself for what she had said earlier, "Actually, calling me a weirdo isn't accurate... because I'm just an ordinary person who was modified by a weirdo, and I haven't been a weirdo for very long."
As she spoke, Cong Yu reflected on her previous actions and words, and suddenly realized that, in the eyes of outsiders, her behavior probably couldn't be definitively proven to be anything particularly evil.
While the ability to manipulate others' "Hydra Brand" is indeed an incredibly evil power... if Cong Yu wanted to create some doujinshi, it would be a piece of cake.
However, the essence of this ability is not "manipulation," but rather "acquiring ownership."
They've retained their memories and consciousness; they've simply become the master of Cong Yu. How can you call that manipulation? It doesn't make sense!
"My name is Cong Yu. Actually, I have a magical girl companion who knows the magical girls from your Fusha Village. We've only recently mastered magic..."
"I just had a sudden inspiration and came up with a technique to 'reform' your parents. So, compared to 'Monster Hero,' I think I should be considered..."
Cong Yu paused for a moment, then, while stroking Xiao Cui's head, gave himself a new nickname. "Magical Boy... you know what I mean?"
Xiao Cui nodded slightly in response.
Her clever little brain had already grasped Cong Yu's meaning... basically, she was told not to tell anyone about what happened today.
She didn't care whether Cong Yu was a weirdo or not, nor did she care whether what Cong Yu said was true or false.
The only thing that can be confirmed is... the overflowing gratitude and emotion in her heart are genuine.
With this in mind, Xiao Cui, like a fledgling bird, nestled into Cong Yu's arms for warmth.
This was the first time she had felt such warmth since being adopted.
"Brother Cong Yu... can you take me away?"
"..." Cong Yu: "???"
Chapter 103 I really am a good person
"Cong Yu- chan! Confess the truth!!!"
"Shut up, you idiot."
"Why did a little magical girl suddenly appear and say she wants to follow you, Cong Yu- chan?! What happened?!"
"Shut up, you idiot!"
"Cong Yu- chan, you're awful! You're so fickle! I hate you!"
"Shut up, you idiot."
"..." Yaochuan Guang realized that no matter what she said, Cong Yu would only attack her "idiot" attribute, which made her feel a little frustrated.
He was determined to retaliate against Cong Yu- chan in the same way...
But she couldn't find any living creature to attack... Cong Yu was practically flawless in life.
Aside from being a bit mischievous and having a penchant for pranks, I can't find any other flaws...
At least from Yaochuan Guang's own perspective, he couldn't find such a thing.
Maybe this is what they mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (laughs)?
Left with no other option, Yaochuan Guang could only glare at Cong Yu with a bristling expression, letting out a low growl of anger, "Puff puff puff..."
Where did this dog come from?
Is this guy starting to accept his dog-like traits more and more? Is he even starting to feel smug about it?
Cong Yu rolled her eyes as she drank her tea, stroking Xiao Cui's head with one hand and Yaochuan Guang's head with the other, trying to soothe him.
Yaochuan Guang: "..."
It was visibly clear that Yaochuan Guang's expression softened.
The meat quality has probably improved.
This guy is so easy to understand...
"Cough cough..."
Cong Yu coughed twice, then began to explain the situation, "It's like this, this morning... the things we lost were actually stolen by the owner and his wife of this hot spring inn."
In response, Xiao Cui corrected her, "Actually, I stole it..."
Upon Xiao Cui Yaochuan Guang's surprised expression, Cong Yu corrected Xiao Cui again, "It was her father who forced her, it was her mother who forced her... forced her."
Then, Cong Yu revealed a confident expression, vaguely glossing over the details. "I found Xiao Cui's adoptive parents, the boss and his wife, and successfully got them to turn over a new leaf! After they return their belongings, they will turn themselves in."
This has become so vague that it completely omits any details about the "means" used.
Even if Yaochuan Guang an idiot, she sensed something was wrong. She opened her mouth, ready to ask for more details, "So..."
But before that, Cong Yu spoke first, "So! After that, Xiao Cui had no one to take care of her... because she was very grateful to me for bringing her parents to justice, and afterwards she..."
"I'm going to study in Wind City, so I want to leave with us!"
The transition between "because" and "therefore" seems rather abrupt.
But that's enough for Yaochuan Guang...
"Ah, well--"
As Yaochuan Guang said this, a hesitant expression appeared on her face. "It does seem true, it's not good for children if no one takes care of them."
I think she's fallen for it.
"Yaochuan Guang ...Sister."
At just the right moment, Xiao Cui gently took Yaochuan Guang's hand, her face full of pleading. "I don't like Fusha Village."
"If I stay here, the other uncles and aunts, the other people in the village, will definitely hate me... Nobody likes magical girls."
"..." Yaochuan Guang's hesitation became even more obvious. During her few days in Fusha Village, she had already learned about the attitude of the townspeople.
After that, Xiao Cui pitifully snuggled into Yaochuan Guang's arms and started babbling on and on, trying to gain sympathy.
From being adopted as a child to suffering bullying and contempt from her family.
She became a magical girl after being turned into a monster by her brother, and she talked about being ostracized by the people of Fusha Village.
He started by saying he was forced to steal, and then talked about being beaten.
Numerous rhetoric techniques were employed to maximize Yaochuan Guang's compassion, even causing her to cry out in empathy.
I don't know what makes Yaochuan Guang so empathetic.
"..." However, Cong Yu, sitting to the side, had a complicated expression. He suddenly realized that Xiao Cui was not an innocent child either.
Do you have some tea?
As Cong Yu pondered this, Yaochuan Guang held Xiao Cui in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
"Waaaaah, you're so pitiful. Your name is Xiao Cui, right? I'll definitely take good care of you from now on."
Unbeknownst to Yaochuan Guang, who was crying, Xiao Cui, whom she was holding, turned her head to look in Cong Yu's direction, sticking out her pink little tongue and revealing a sly expression.
This is a fox spirit loli...
"Then, I'll tell my agent now."
Cong Yu said this, she dialed the number of the man in the black suit.
"Beep... beep..."
"Moshi moshi... Cong Yu, do you know what happened? I was walking outside just now when the police found me and returned my belongings. They said the hotel owner and his wife turned themselves in... What happened?"
Upon hearing the voice in the black suit on the other end of the phone, Cong Yu paused, then casually replied, "I was involved... but there's a problem right now."
Black suit. "What?"
"The boss and his wife are involved in a large sum of money, and they may have to spend several years in jail... During this time, their daughter will be left without anyone to take care of her."
The man in the black suit asked, "No relatives or anything? Doesn't this family have any friends in Fusha Village?"
"This child named Katsuki Ruri is a magical girl... Have you noticed the villagers of Fusha Village's attitude towards magical girls?"
The man in the black suit said, "I see... I understand."
The man in the black suit said, "So, her parents' imprisonment is related to you, is that right? Doesn't she hate you?"
"I don't think so. She's not well-liked by her adoptive parents either, and she's being forced into theft by the two hotel owners... Xiao Cui wants to come back to Wind City with us."
Black suit. "..."
The man in the black suit said, "I understand what you mean. I'll try my best to communicate with the agency... well, if you feel guilty about it."
The man in the black suit sounded somewhat wistful.
"The lines between good and evil are always blurred in this world... Actually, you didn't do anything wrong, because everyone is satisfied with the outcome, isn't they?"
"No one was harmed because of your actions; in fact, you prevented more people from suffering property loss in the future... so relax, Cong Yu."
After comforting Cong Yu like this, the man in the black suit hung up the phone.
In his view, Cong Yu had done a good deed by getting Xiao Cui's parents to turn themselves in. But he hadn't anticipated that Xiao Cui would be left without anyone to care for her.
