I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 6 Pretty Boy!

"You don't know? What does 'you don't know' mean?!"

Lin Yongxi was stunned for a moment, stood up, and almost knocked over the teacup on the table:

"Aren't you some kind of 'magical girl instructor'? That's why I came!"

"Magical Girl Instructor..."

Chen Mu hadn't heard this title in a long time, except when filling out his occupation.

"yes!"

Lin Yongxi suddenly spoke faster, even stammering a bit: "The news reports say that you and your sister are not only a model loving couple in life, but also seamless partners on the battlefield. You know a lot about magic and can guide and train magical girls. Your sister's achievements are inseparable from this outstanding man behind her."

Chen Mu found it a bit cheesy and took a deep sip of tea.

He put down his teacup and said, "It's all fake news."

"what?"

"Fake news, it's all fake. It's just news fabricated during a special period to unite the magical girls and humans, based on specific needs. Our marriage is the result of love in our eyes, but in other people's eyes, it has propaganda value... just like you said, 'adult reasons'."

Chen Mu calmly explained, "This so-called 'Magical Girl Instructor,' how should I explain it? It's like a 'Commander' character in a gacha-style anime mobile game, you know?"

"Anime-style mobile games..."

Lin Yongxi's expression was surprised and extremely distorted.

"Isn't that popular with young people anymore?" Chen Mu frowned, explaining in simpler terms: "It's something without any substance—"

"No, I know what anime-style mobile games are."

Lin Yongxi reached out her hand, lowered her head and took a deep breath, seemingly deeply affected:

"I just didn't expect the truth to be like this... It's a bit of a demystification..."

She didn't even bother with careful word choice; she looked up at Chen Mu and said:

"Isn't that just a gigolo?!"

"Yeah, he's a pretty boy."

However, Chen Mu was not angry and actually accepted the label openly.

Indeed, that's exactly what happened. His biggest contribution to the job was providing emotional support to his wife. This included things like patting her head, hugging her, and other "rewards" when needed.

"Think about it, I'm not a magical girl. I can't sense the fluctuations of magic, nor do I know the principles of magic. Why should I be able to teach a magical girl? Isn't that ridiculous? A magical girl can only become stronger by herself, that's all. I can't help her, and I don't know the underlying principles."

It really is.

Lin Yongxi suddenly realized that what he said made a lot of sense and he couldn't refute it at all.

She even began to blame herself, wondering how she could have believed such a simple and easily understood principle without ever questioning it...

"So, brother-in-law, you have absolutely no idea how to become a magical girl, and you can't teach me either."

After a moment of surprise, Lin Yongxi began to worry about her own situation:

"So, what should I do?"

She came all this way specifically for this "teacher," only to find out it was a scam.

Chen Mu said, "Like other magical girls, you'll go to the Magic Academy and have a teacher in charge. Have you prepared the tuition fees?"

"tuition fee……?"

Seeing the confusion in Lin Yongxi's eyes, Chen Mu knew it was time for him to speak.

The rest are things that aren't taught in schools:

"You said that magical girls are different now than before, but there are still many girls like you who yearn to become magical girls, whether they want to master powerful abilities, make money, gain fame and popularity, or for various other reasons, the competition is fierce."

"At this time, the business of 'magical girl training' came into being."

"This business is monopolized by the [Magic Academy]. The so-called Magic Academy is actually a self-organized organization of magical girls. It is both the organizer of the [Magical Girl League] and the operator of the training. As long as a qualified student pays tuition, they can choose to become a disciple of the corresponding teacher and study."

"Compared to me, a mere instructor in name only, they are the real teachers. Only they can teach you how to become a magical girl."

"It's like learning martial arts in ancient times. You had to pay a high tuition fee to join a martial arts school, awaken the proficiency system, and start grinding experience to level up. It's the same principle."

"Don't look at me with that confused look. Don't you understand this example? Anyway, you should know that learning magic is extremely expensive."

Chen Mu explained patiently.

This is understandable, since magical girls are extremely rare and prestigious beings. They possess immense power, and their value is naturally very high. Hiring them to teach would inevitably cost a fortune, far exceeding the tuition fees of ordinary schools.

Despite this, many parents still go to great lengths, even taking out loans, to have their children learn magic.

After all, as long as they can truly become magical girls and achieve good results, the initial investment can be recouped, or even multiplied.

That was a dream of upward social mobility, and countless families hoping their daughters would achieve great things lined up in pursuit of it.

Chen Mu said:

"But this shouldn't be a problem for you, right, little rich girl?"

Lin Yongxi is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and he knows her background. This amount of money is nothing to her family.

"Well……"

However, Lin Yongxi lowered his head guiltily.

"Um?"

"Okay, I don't have the money."

Under Chen Mu's sharp gaze, Lin Yongxi had no choice but to shrug and confess, "I ran away from home, okay? After I swiped that plane ticket to Shenyue City, this card was locked, and I couldn't spend a single penny. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have broken into your house in the middle of the night..."

I see, no wonder she didn't stay in a hotel.

The problem is now very serious. Learning magic requires money, but Lin Yongxi has no money. If he goes back home to ask for money, he will definitely be placed under house arrest or arrested.

Blocked at both ends.

Chen Mu stood up: "In that case, we'll have to think of another way."

"What can I do...?" Lin Yongxi looked up blankly. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going upstairs. I stayed up all night and need to catch up on some sleep."

Chen Mu yawned: "Your room is in the children's room next door. Don't go to the wrong one. Although the bed is small, you can change it another day."

"What kind of children's room is this? It's a mess. Wait... now? Are you going to sleep?"

Lin Yongxi looked at the clock on the wall; it was six in the morning. She started to feel anxious.

"This is a crucial time! How can I sleep if I don't come up with a solution quickly..."

"Don't worry, there will be a way."

However, Chen Mu ignored her tugging and walked up the stairs on his own.

"Hey, that's such a cunning answer!"

Lin Yongxi watched his retreating figure, then sat back down on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.

...What? Why is this happening? Did I contact the wrong person?

...Turns out he's just a gigolo who lives off women. Should I go find a more capable and experienced magical girl?

...But who else can help me?

The girl put her legs up, buried her face in them, her hair cascading over her arms. She curled up, squinting... and fell asleep without realizing it.

Half-asleep, I heard those words and suddenly felt a little disoriented.

Chen Mu's words were firm and calm, as if he had never had any doubts. Why was he so confident?

Even when the topic of his sister's death came up, he showed no sign of wavering.

It seems that it's not entirely unbelievable?
