To become a king and a magician

【you--】

If she had a stick, Ayaka Sajou would definitely have given him a good whack. How dare he complain that she's annoying? He doesn't know what's good for him!

Using the impact to create a huge distance, he quickly found a place to put Ayaka Sajou down. Before he could even catch his breath, Natsukawa Tora quickly turned around and faced the oncoming gale!

Is it the wind this time? Has the wind shifted?

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Countless tiny wind blades continuously sliced ​​through Xia Chuanhu's body, and countless blood blossoms bloomed on his body. In just a few seconds, Xia Chuanhu was completely covered in blood. If his clothes hadn't been burned off long ago, he would probably still be wearing some tattered rags.

(No problem, the damage per hit is very low, the Holy Sword can heal it up, so the overall cost is not high.)

"Bang----!"

A sudden punch amidst the raging wind momentarily interrupted Xia Chuanhu's thoughts. Hidden within the rapidly flowing gale, Xia Chuanhu seemed to have multiplied into thousands of clones, the countless figures dazzling him for a moment.

(It's even more elaborate than what I play...)

"What's wrong! Can't fight anymore! This little bit of trouble and you want to kneel down and beg for mercy! You've become a drained, spineless shrimp after having another woman, haven't you!"

"Boom—!"

A punch suddenly blasted out!

The fierce wind raging around Xia Chuanhu was blasted open on the spot!

As he burst out of that opening, Xia Chuanhu curled his lip: "So, you're also a drained wimp? And why are you so talkative? Doesn't your throat hurt from shouting while you're fighting?"

"It'll feel good to beat you up!"

With an aura that seemed intent on splitting Natsukawa Tiger in two, Natsukawa Tiger descended from the sky and delivered a powerful kick!

Thump!

112. Another Ayaka Sajou

For Ayaka Sajou, tonight was undoubtedly a disaster.

A real disaster.

This not only means that her peaceful life has been completely shattered, but also that her worldview of the past sixteen years has been destroyed.

Flames, gales, rocks, and raging waves—the four elements that make up the world—were transformed one after another into natural disasters in that man's hands, recklessly destroying everything around him.

Fear, dread, trepidation, trembling... such feelings filled Ayaka Sajou's heart, and even after completely occupying her heart, they continued to multiply, gradually dominating her entire body and mind, making her too afraid to move or think, and she could only stand there dumbfounded like a doll.

Under normal circumstances, she should have been affected by the aftershocks and died long ago. Even a magician couldn't survive in such a situation. Magic, in the end, is just something humans can do, but no matter how much humans can do, they will only appear weak and powerless in the face of a real natural disaster.

That was the anger of this planet, the punishment of this planet.

But now, she is still alive. She did not lose her life in the natural disaster, she was not burned to death, she was not drowned, she was not buried underground, and she was not lifted into the air and fell to her death.

Ayaka Sajou is alive and well, not because of her own actions, but because someone is protecting her.

Flames or gales.

Rocks or waves.

No matter what kind of natural disaster strikes, the person in front of Ayaka Sajou can always defeat it or take her to a safe place at the first moment, even if it means suffering a fatal injury himself, he will prioritize her safety.

"Xia Chuan..."

Ayaka Sajo murmured the name of the figure who had shielded her from everything.

Why did you do this? Why did you risk your life to protect me? Why didn't you run away? — These questions kept popping into her mind. Ayaka Sajou wanted to know these things, but she couldn't ask them now, and she couldn't distract Natsukawa Torato, who was protecting her with all his heart.

All she could do was trust him wholeheartedly.

(Natsukawa, please...)

"Thump—!"

The deafening roar interrupted Ayaka Sajou's thoughts. Accompanied by a terrifying impact and storm that almost blew her away, the two figures who had been colliding constantly in the eye of the disaster were finally separated temporarily.

Shaking his broken hands, [Natsukawa Tiger] gasped for breath: "You're really tenacious. Are you a cockroach? It would have been better if you had just obediently let me kill you, instead of living like this and suffering in agony."

"I have no intention of letting Mary become a widow. Besides, it would be too shameful to be killed by someone weaker than myself."

"Huh? Who are you calling weaker than you? Did I break your head?"

“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Natsukawa Torama laughed. “Although we’re both me, you’re missing three of the most important things compared to me. You should know that the reason I’m so strong isn’t just because of my summoning magic.”

Summoning magic is only a part of Natsukawa Torato's power. Arcueid's power, Arthur's power, and the ultimate Mystic Eyes are far more powerful than summoning magic. If you have to say, summoning magic is just the foundation.

Because of the unique nature of these three items, replication is completely impossible, so [Natsukawa Tiger] cannot use them either.

"By the way, the reason I can use summoning magic without limit is largely due to the magic regeneration speed brought by the Dragon Heart, but you can't have the Dragon Heart, so theoretically, your berserk mode is about to end."

"You really think so?" [Natsukawa Torato] sneered. "Then why don't you try again? See if I'm truly exhausted and unable to fight anymore!"

Of course, there's no need to try it.

[Natsukawa Torato]'s current source of magic power is probably the spiritual veins of the entire Tokyo area. After all, the person who created him is Sajou Ayaka. In order to ensure that he can always exert his strongest power, a sufficient supply of magic power is necessary, and the spiritual veins are naturally the first priority.

"But to be honest, I'm quite curious about something."

"Huh? What are you curious about?"

"Why do you exist?" Xia Chuanhu asked. "To be fair, I have almost no connection with the person behind you. I haven't caused her any trouble or annoyance. Why is she targeting me like this?"

Oh, so that's what it is.

"I couldn't be bothered to think about what that woman was thinking, nor could I be bothered to ask her. I didn't even have any communication with her. After she created me, she gave me an order and then never appeared again."

"Oh? The only order? Specifically?"

"I'll kill you—is that specific enough? The real deal."

The undisguised killing intent made Xia Chuanhu sigh helplessly.

Natsukawa Torama had already figured out what Sajou Aika was thinking inside him. She wanted to break the seal, and even if she couldn't break it, she would still trip her up and make her suffer.

But is Sajō Aika's only thought here to kill him?

Were you also kept in the dark?

"To me, it doesn't matter what that brat does, as long as I can kill you. Maybe she saw through my intentions and gave me that order. If the interests are aligned, I won't hold her accountable for using me as a pawn—"

I'm not using you as a tool.

Suddenly, as if projected directly into their minds, a voice that was familiar to all three of them, including Ayaka Sajou, rang out.

The next instant, as a few feathers drifted into his field of vision, Natsukawa Tiger suddenly noticed a somewhat blurry figure in front of him.

"You are......"

"elder sister?"

Sajou Ayaka stared in disbelief at the figure before her. Although it was blurry, as if covered by a thick mosaic, Sajou Ayaka was certain that it was her older sister.

Seemingly helpless, the figure gave a wry smile.

Even in this state, she was still recognized immediately. Ayaka is really amazing.

"Sister...is it really you? You—"

"Hey! What are you doing here! You golden retriever!" Before the touching sisterly reunion could even begin, [Natsukawa Tiger] shouted angrily, "Don't get in my way! Don't block my fight with the real thing—"

Be quiet around Ayaka; she doesn't like noisy people.

Without even making a move, the figure simply said that, and [Natsukawa Tiger] was as if his mouth had been sewn shut. No matter how he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word, and his body was even fixed in place.

Without ever glancing at Natsukawa Torama, the figure glanced at Sajo Ayaka, smiled slightly for a moment, and then turned to Natsukawa Torama.

113. Sajou, a sister-complex character, and Aika.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Natsukawa Torato. I am Sajou Aika of this world."

"My dear sister, and my other self, I am grateful for your care and for the trouble and distress caused to you by my creation."

As soon as [Sajō Aika] opened her mouth, Natsukawa Torato was stunned for a moment, pinching himself slightly to make sure he wasn't dreaming—

(Are you sure this is another version of you? Is this person with such a gentle, sophisticated air really you?)

Is this really the kind of personality Ayaka Sajou has?

Inside Natsukawa Torato's body, Sajō Aika, who was suddenly mocked like this, rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

[You can be less sarcastic towards me sometimes. I can talk to you like this occasionally. For the sake of His Highness the Prince, I've systematically studied court etiquette.]

(Why don't I believe it?)

"I have indeed studied court etiquette, and if the situation permits, I can demonstrate some court dance steps for you," the real-life [Sajō Aika] smiled. "I apologize, but because we are both of the same origin, our consciousnesses can be shared to some extent. I did not intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation; if I have offended you—"

"Stop!"

Xia Chuanhu quickly stopped her from apologizing.

"Um, if you can, please don't be so polite—it's not that being polite is bad, but I'm used to teasing each other with the other you, and suddenly being treated so kindly and politely by you makes me feel really uncomfortable..."

Just like how one day, Meryl suddenly became genuinely attentive to Natsukawa Tora.

Is your impression of me heavily influenced by subjective factors? Wasn't the reason I treated you the way you did to me first?

"Ask yourself honestly, wasn't it you who started by tormenting me?"

"Hmm... I see. So, the root of the problem is that you two didn't get along well at the beginning, which led to your current discord, is that right?"

Through the shared consciousness, [Sajō Aika] also learned about the matter between Natsukawa Torama and her other self. She then placed her hands on her stomach and bowed slightly: "I apologize for the atrocities inflicted on you by your other self, Lord Natsukawa Torama. Although an apology is of no use in understanding your experience, if you require compensation—"

"I already told you not to be so polite! You're giving me goosebumps! Sha Tiao, was your sister always like this?"

"Huh? Ah... um."

Startled for a moment, Ayaka Sajou nodded hurriedly: "My sister has always been very gentle. How should I put it... she's more like my mother than my sister, and sometimes she even has a saintly feel to her..."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, Ayaka. I haven't gone to that level. I just try to get along with everyone with a peaceful mindset."

"That's quite an exaggeration..." Natsukawa Torato couldn't help but exclaim. "So, what brings you here so suddenly?"

His tone suddenly became impolite.

Although he was surprised that Ayaka Sajou was such a gentle and kind girl, Natsukawa Torato had not forgotten that the reason he was trapped in Tokyo was very likely because she had tricked him, and that even the other version of himself was created by her and Ayaka Sajou.
