Type-Moon, I'm a magician, is that true?

"Ah, of course. I only need another day to fully recover, and the battle will be over within three days."

"Then I will come back on the fourth day. If I can't defeat your sister, I will try to delay it until then. Maybe there is still a chance."

"Maybe by then I won't even be able to find my ashes."

Aoko teased, it was just a joke, but Aiwen answered seriously.

"In that case, I'll build you a tombstone to commemorate our brief acquaintance."

"Really? You are such a serious person." Qingzi chuckled and closed her eyes.

She had nothing more to say, all she had to do now was take action.

"Youzhu, I'm tired. I'll leave it to you from now on."

After saying that, Qingzi turned her face towards the bed, clearly indicating that it was time to leave. She was going to fall into a deep sleep and let her body return to normal as soon as possible.

"I see."

Youzhu stood up gracefully and opened the door to the room.

Aiwen stood up from the bed, his eyes fell on Qingzi's chestnut hair. Without saying a word, he followed Youzhu out of the room after a moment.

This might be the last time he saw Aozaki Aoko alive. They had no idea what the final outcome of their fate would be.

"It's okay, there will definitely be a chance to meet again."

For some reason, Aoko had this premonition.

-----------------

"Please be careful on your way back."

After Youzhu sent Aiwen to the gate, she said goodbye softly. She stood in the deep night, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

But until the end, nothing was said, leaving only a plain invitation that was full of hope.

"You're also welcome to visit us later. I'll prepare some new flavors of black tea."

After saying that, the girl turned around, and her slender body gradually disappeared into the woods in the darkness, just like a forest fairy in a fairy tale.

Now, under the moonlight, Aiwen walked alone on the rarely traveled road.

It was dark and lights were on in the houses on both sides of the road. The warmth between families was separated by walls and had nothing to do with the people wandering on the road.

Aiwen, walking in the city, seemed to refuse to integrate into it. He always just passed by and never intervened in the city's ecology.

But he also has a favorite building, which is an elevated park on the edge of the city, where you can overlook half of Misaki Town.

Of course, the main reason is that if you take a small detour from the park exit and go deeper into the hillside, you will find a trampled dirt road.

At the end of the road, you can see an extremely simple stone hut. That is the temporary residence built by Aiwen himself.

But at the exit of the park, two men with ill intentions were waiting at the intersection.

There were two figures, one male and one female, one big and one small. The blond boy was jumping around anxiously, asking the short-haired orange-haired woman for the time from time to time.

"You're so slow, Miss Orange! I'm so bored! How long do we have to wait?"

"Be patient, Beor."

Aozaki Touko looked relaxed, her eyes always fixed on the end of the road, where a figure gradually became clear.

"Isn't this already here?"

Chapter 40: Orange Enemies

Aozaki Touko put out the cigarette in her hand and exhaled the last puff of smoke. Now she felt that her plan might not need to be changed.

"She's the one who invited Youzhu to the mansion. It seems she holds a high position in Youzhu's heart. If that's the case, using her as a hostage to threaten Youzhu is very likely to get him to come to the designated location to fight."

"It's also good to eliminate this destabilizing factor in advance."

He took off his glasses, and his eyes suddenly became extremely cold, revealing Orange's intention.

"Beo, I will attack first. You are only allowed to attack when I call you. Do you understand?"

"Alas~ Miss Orange is cheating. She was clearly planning to give it to me."

The little blond boy pulled a long face and turned away with a look of grievance.

"This is also for your sake. If she can't even beat me, she has no right to ask the golden werewolf to take action, right?"

Just like coaxing a child, Orange skillfully praised Beo. The method was simple, but the effect was unexpectedly good.

Seeing Beo's mood suddenly turn happy, a thought flashed through Orange's mind: 'Isn't this just like a little kid?'

"However, speaking of children, Youzhu also has a childish temper. She is still a little girl after all."

"Even though you knew I could attack at any moment and the situation was very dangerous, you were still too reserved to let others stay in the mansion. It was because of Yuzu's cute little hesitation that you gave me this opportunity."

Thinking back to when she was a girl, she would see the little witch from time to time, even the cold-hearted Orange couldn't help but smile.

"Come to think of it, Youzhu has a strong possessiveness for things she likes. It seems that we should give her some face."

"Beo, if you really have to take action, remember to spare that girl's life. It doesn't matter how you attack or kill her, but the bottom line is don't kill her."

Seeing Aiwen's figure getting closer and closer, Orange did not delay any longer. She turned around and gave Beo some instructions before preparing to take action.

But Beo didn't respond to her voice, he just stood there in a daze.

"Beo?!"

"Beo, what are you staring at?"

Orange raised his voice, but Golden Wolf still turned a deaf ear. This poor performance made Orange extremely dissatisfied.

"Luger Beowulf!"

This time the call utilized the power of the contract, and the bond of mutual understanding in the heart forcibly brought back the Golden Wolf's consciousness, but the moment he came to his senses, he turned back into the form of a giant wolf on all fours.

"Hey, Miss Orange, he's so handsome, even more handsome than you. This is the first time I've met a human who smells so good!"

"Can you not kill him? Can we talk first? Didn't you say that you shouldn't think of using force right away?"

The golden wolf waved its tail, which was stronger than steel, uncontrollably, and its long tongue kept licking the tip of its nose. Its expression of longing for something left Orange stunned.

She understood that Beo had suddenly changed from human form to wolf form not because he was preparing for a battle, but because he subconsciously showed off what he thought was the most beautiful figure.

"Are you planning on courting?"

Shocked beyond words, Aozaki Touko felt like she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I don't understand courtship or anything like that, but he's truly perfect. This is the first time I've felt a color even more beautiful than his golden hair."

Beo spun around happily, the joyful expression on his face obvious even on the wolf's face.

"So can you keep him? I want him to play with me, I want to run around with him, and I want him to sleep with his head resting on my belly."

"You guy..."

Orange felt like he was going to die of anger. The Ace was on the verge of turning against him before the battle even started. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any strong means of restraint. Even if the price of the contract was the long hair she had accumulated over twenty years, it was only as fragile as a spider silk to a fantasy species that was a star drop.

The golden wolf only followed her out of boredom. The reason he didn't bite his master was because she hadn't done anything to annoy him so far.

"This is not good." Orange thought to himself after wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It seems unrealistic to try to get Beotodi now. He could bite me back at any time. What should I do?"

But no matter how much I think about it, I'm not sure.

"Tsk, is this all we can do? I guess we can only try to induce you with words?"

Orange felt disgusted with her own powerlessness, but there was no better way. Looking at the wolf's eyes staring at the distance beside her, she cleared her throat.

"Beo, you're an ancient fantasy species, why are you acting like an ordinary dog? If you want something, shouldn't you just ask directly?"

Beo had already shown an unfriendly expression when he heard Orange insulting him as a dog, but the second half of the sentence successfully diverted his attention.

"Ms. Orange, please say more!"

"Ahem, what I mean is, if you want something, you should go get it yourself."

Looking at the golden wolf's thoughtful expression, Xie Chengzi struck while the iron was hot.

"Show your strength. Since ancient times, force has been the best way to show one's charm. Besides, we originally planned to take her away. Then you can do whatever you want with her."

Hearing this, the golden wolf's ears twitched excitedly.

"Yes, I can catch him, and then I can order him to play with me all the time. You are worthy of me, Miss Orange."

"Huh, the talk was a great success."

Orange breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Beo's innocence, she had finally managed to steer the situation in a direction that suited her own interests.

She was so nervous that she didn't even notice that she and Beo addressed each other differently.

But similarly, after the delay, Aiwen had already walked up to them, the surprise attack was ruined, and Orange could only quickly change tactics.

——That’s what he said, but when Orange really saw Aiwen’s full appearance, he was more stunned than Beo.

If Beo, as the top fantasy species, noticed the uniqueness of Aiwen through the senses that connected the world, then Orange was simply conquered by her beauty.

"Can I really make a puppet that rivals hers?"

This was Orange's first reaction.

As a top puppeteer, she was more easily shocked by this beauty and even began to doubt her own learning so far.

But the feedback of human senses is limited, and Orange wakes up much faster than Golden Wolf.

When she came to her senses, Aiwen was standing about ten meters away from her, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Are you Aozaki's sister? You look very similar to her."

In this atmosphere of confrontation, Aiwen raised his eyes and asked calmly. The magic power in his body had begun to flow, and the basic spell was being woven into shape.

"If so, what are you going to do?"

Orange suppressed her excitement and stared closely at the "girl" in front of her. She was now glad that she had a reason to spare her life.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Aiwen shook his head.

"No, I won't do anything. According to Aozaki's wish, I will leave Misaki Town tomorrow."

"Really? Aoko doesn't want you to get involved. It's consistent with her innocent nature. Why is she the one who inherited the Aozaki family?"

Orange hugged her chest and murmured unhappily, but the object of her complaint seemed not to be entirely Qingzi herself, but a deeper and more systematic existence.

After the contemplation ended, Orange looked at Aiwen in front of him again, sighed deeply, and possessiveness gradually emerged in his eyes.

"If I had met you earlier, I might have let you go. I can understand Qingzi's thoughts to some extent, and I don't want to involve outsiders in the dispute between sisters."

"But, I'm sorry."

"This is a different time now. Now I don't want you to run away. Whether for the sake of future victory or for my own selfish reasons, I beg you to stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light blue light lit up in Orange's left eye, and the normal human structure of the eye was lost, turning into an infinite spiral of hell.

Chapter 41: Demon Eye Showdown

A sneak attack is an unquestionable and unhesitating act of aggression, and it is also the easiest action to gain an advantage in combat.

The light in Orange's left eye was like layers of ropes, binding Aiwen in the center of his vision.

"Thank you for standing and talking to me. It gave me this opportunity."
