My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl!

Tang Zhiqing was the Magical Girl "Crystal."

"I only did what I was supposed to. You'd already driven the 'Wendigo' to its death back then; I merely gave it a push."

Tang Zhiqing said.

Tang Zhiqing's meaning was obvious: she did not need the credit.

Her words were humble, and she was good with people. She quickly became familiar with Lu Annuan.

Lu Ming asked Tang Zhiqing curiously, "I am curious—where did your monstrous strength come from?"

Tang Zhiqing gave Lu Ming a "fierce gaze" and said, "That isn't monstrous strength. It's a technique that temporarily enhances my body with magic after transforming. If we're talking about monstrous strength, it's people like you, whose strength is astonishing even without transforming."

The secret to training was a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run every day.

Then you could go bald too.

Lu Ming looked at Lu Annuan. "Can you use it too?"

Could Lu Annuan become Super-Strong Annuan as well?

Lu Annuan puffed out her cheeks and stayed silent, sulking.

Apparently not.

Trash, trash.

Tang Zhiqing set down her coffee. "Every Magical Girl excels at different things. Even if you asked me to fire a magic cannon, I wouldn't have enough magic for that. Lu Annuan's amount of magic is... rather enormous."

Lu Annuan puffed out her chest slightly, the lovely curves there rising and falling like spring mountains. She glanced at Lu Ming as though by accident.

Was she waiting for him to praise her?

Fine, fine. He would praise her.

"So awesome, so awesome!"

Lu Annuan gave a "hmph," putting on the cold and aloof air of a childhood friend who disdained Lu Ming's shallow compliments.

Then, beneath the table, she happily swung her little feet.

Tang Zhiqing looked at Lu Ming. "Star Bearers differ from one another as well. Although an exception like you has never existed before, it is a good thing. You might even be stronger than ordinary Magical Girls. If we can draw out the magic inside you and teach you to use it, you might be able to eliminate Rust by yourself."

Tang Zhiqing found it quite remarkable too.

A weirdo like Lu Ming was truly one of a kind in the entire world.

Every Magical Girl would be shocked.

And... if there were a boy around, some more timid Magical Girls would probably feel much safer.

"But it got away."

Lu Ming said.

"It's already injured. I'll find a way to locate it in the next few days, and I'll contact you then."

Tang Zhiqing said. Her magical sensing range was vast, so there was no one better suited for the job.

"Let's exchange contact information first. Oh, the two of you can just exchange yours. I already have both of your contact details."

Lu Ming said.

For some reason, after he said that, both girls gave him a long look.

Lu Ming: "?"

Lu Annuan puffed out her cheeks, while Tang Zhiqing shot him a "cold gaze."

After successfully exchanging contact information, the three continued chatting.

Just then, several boys pushed open the café door and walked in. Lu Ming was surprised to find Cao Guang and Li Deng among them, arguing.

Li Deng said, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon definitely destroys Tearlaments!"

Cao Guang said, "Destroys my ass. Haven't you read the card effect?"

"Pah! What kind of card effect could restrain the bond between a duelist and their cards?"

"Idiot, just admit that you want to make up card effects."

"...Can I?"

"Can my ass!"

Li Deng suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he saw Lu Ming and immediately broke into the grin of a troublesome friend. Then he noticed Lu Annuan and Tang Zhiqing seated beside Lu Ming.

His smile slowly vanished.

You... how the fuck are you eating this well?!

You're fucking inhuman!

Lu Ming's smile slowly appeared.

That was the law of conservation of smiles.

Li Deng whispered to Cao Guang, "No need to envy him. This guy will definitely be paying the bill later. Once his allowance goes bankrupt, he won't even be able to afford spicy strips. People like that aren't worth looking at."

Cao Guang nodded.

Tang Zhiqing was about to leave as well. She stood up and said to Lu Ming, "I'll pay the bill first. You two should head home early too."

Wait, the Student Council president was paying?

Li Deng hurriedly stopped Tang Zhiqing. "President, you're paying? Isn't Lu Ming supposed to pay?"

Tang Zhiqing said, "Lu Ming and I do have a personal relationship. It's normal for me to treat him to coffee. Besides, since it's my money, it doesn't count as using Student Council funds for food and drinks."

No, President, you misunderstood!

No one said you were using Student Council funds for food and drinks!

I meant you should squeeze that Lu guy dry!

Since when did Lu Ming start living off women?!

I... we want to live off the president too!

Chapter 42: An Exciting Dose of Love for Lu Annuan.

Lu Ming was heading home with Lu Annuan as well.

Tang Zhiqing said to Li Deng and the other boys, "The coffee here is pretty good, but the snacks are ordinary. The braised jelly wasn't properly implemented—it isn't fragrant or spicy enough, and it lacks chewiness. I don't recommend ordering it."

President Tang was also a foodie who liked sharing good food with her classmates.

The word "implemented" really suited her position.

Faced with Tang Zhiqing, the Student Council president and a famous beauty at school, Li Deng and the others stammered and nodded.

How the fuck could Lu Ming chat so happily with such a gorgeous woman?

My legs feel like they're shaking.

Could living off women really be Lu Ming's calling?!

"Then I'll be leaving first. Enjoy your meal."

Tang Zhiqing said with a nod.

"Take care, President."

"Then I'm leaving too."

Lu Ming said.

"Lu Ming, take care... hurry up and get lost!"

They had reached their rebellious phase.

Next time we play League of Legends, I'll isolate every last one of you.

Watching Lu Ming leave, Li Deng muttered to Cao Guang, "How does a Silver player like Lu Ming get along so happily with the president? I get nervous just seeing her. She's so beautiful, and people from Ludong have more striking features. President Tang's face looks like a celebrity's."

Cao Guang said, "Ran Yanyue is no worse than President Tang, and she's a rich young lady from a wealthy family. Why don't you get nervous around her?"

"I don't interact much with the president. Committee Member Ran sits in front of me and often bickers with Lu Ming. After hearing it so often, she just feels like an ordinary high school girl... Did mentioning those two hurt your feelings?"

"Who said that? Who said I was crying?!"

"Don't cry, don't cry."

The boys discussed it together.

They came to the conclusion that Lu Ming truly possessed a rare physique made for living off women.

Otherwise, why were there always so many girls around him?

"I saw in the weather forecast that it'll rain continuously for the next few days. Let's buy more groceries and keep them at home."

As they walked down the street, Lu Annuan looked at the forecast on her phone.

Had she gotten used to calling it home already?

That felt pretty nice.

There was a seafood market nearby. Lu Ming rarely came here; he had only visited a few times with his mom before. Every time, bargaining and checking freshness had been a war. He could not help sighing that it was no wonder young people liked shopping online. At a market, old men and women would bargain you to death.

"I know how to bargain. Just leave it to me."

Lu Annuan said with a smile.

Since Little Deer said so, Little Lu would trust her.

Lu Ming walked over to the stall of a still-charming middle-aged woman selling abalone.

She sold more than just abalone—there were sea cucumbers, prawns, freshwater clams...

"Buying expensive stuff right away? Do you still have enough living expenses?"

Lu Annuan looked at Lu Ming.

"Isn't there the reward for righteous behavior? It's fine to spend a little more now."

Lu Ming said. If it came down to it, he could always serialize the Golden Belt arc.

"...Oh."

Lu Annuan felt that Lu Ming did not know how to control his spending.

What if he enjoyed himself now, then got sick a few days later and needed to go to the hospital?

Thinking further ahead, would he still spend recklessly after having children?

She could not always stay by Lu Ming's side.

Could the two of them even get married...?

Lu Annuan casually glanced at Lu Ming.

What did Lu Ming think? Didn't he think she was pretty?

Meng Xuan had clearly said that Lu Ming definitely liked her.

But when she had accidentally sent him those revealing photos before, he had acted completely calm. He did not seem like he liked her that much.

Lu Annuan felt a little insecure.

As Lu Annuan thought, she absentmindedly picked through the abalone.

Lu Ming suddenly picked one from the basket. "This one isn't very fresh. Change it for another."

"It really isn't. How did you know?"

Lu Annuan asked in surprise.

You... weren't you someone who lived above worldly concerns and only knew cola and potato chips?

"With these eyes of mine, nothing stale can escape."

Lu Ming said. He had just seen a faint black glow coming from that abalone.
