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

Qingzi was a little envious. Aiwen and Youzhu were in positions that were too different from those of humans, but they could understand each other's taboos very harmoniously. However, it was not easy for her to see through Youzhu's thoughts, so she was often punished.

"No, it's probably because Aozaki values his own wishes more than others. Even if he understands everyone else's position, he will only follow the path he has decided on."

Without even glancing at Aoko, Aiwen's gaze seemed to be drawn to something on the street corner, but he continued to answer seriously.

"Besides, Kuonji is actually easier to get along with than Aozaki. As long as she doesn't hate him, it's okay even if she starts to dislike him."

"What you need to do next is to confirm your feelings during your interactions and show your love for her through actions."

"Kyuonji is a girl who will gradually understand others. She is also a gentle and steady young lady. Her kindness will melt away the obstacles she has set in her heart."

Qingzi stopped walking unconsciously, staring at Aiwen in amazement, as if she was looking at an alien creature in human skin.

"This is unbelievable! Are you really Aiwen? What kind of self-awareness is this? Under this indifferent expression, you're actually quite aggressive."

Shocked by this answer, Qingzi rudely circled around Aiwen, her eyes full of ridicule.

But Aiwen has never cared about what others think, and it is even more impossible for him to be shy because of verbal provocation.

"It's not love between a man and a woman, Aozaki. If you think about it in the most primitive sense, it's love based on the state of existence and the value of dignity."

"Also, the lady over there looks familiar. She seems to be your sister?"

Blinking his empty eyes, Aiwen said uncertainly.

Qingzi turned her head suddenly.

Chapter 77 The End of Grudges

It was as if cold water was poured into her scalding heart. Aoko's originally relaxed mood was shattered in an instant, and now only the magician's coldness and hostility remained.

I quickly looked in the direction Aiwen was facing. It was a sushi restaurant where a crowd of people gathered. People were coming and going, jostling each other, which showed its popularity.

Generally speaking, the key to a snack bar's popularity lies in its taste and price. Sushi restaurants, on the other hand, have both. There are high-end restaurants that use expensive ingredients and strive for excellence, as well as small street shops that are convenient and low-cost.

What Aiwen and Qingzi saw in front of them was a cheap and affordable sushi restaurant.

Now is the end of Japan's golden age. The stagnation of economic growth has made people regain a long-lost sense of crisis. Compared with the past, the flow of people to cheap restaurants has exploded.

So it stands to reason that it is very difficult to identify familiar people in a small shop with so many people, but that person's temperament and characteristics are so conspicuous, standing out from the crowd.

So much so that Qingzi only needed a glance to completely confirm Aiwen's guess.

"Yes, I'm sure it's an orange."

She calmed her excited mood with a breath, and there was vigilance in Qingzi's eyes, but there was no longer the slight worry she had when she fought Orange before.

That's right, there is no reason for Aozaki Aoko to hesitate because of her sister who was defeated by her, not to mention that she has a super powerful companion by her side.

So she just took a few breaths on the spot and then decisively went towards Orange.

"Aozaki, you're acting very unnaturally right now. Are you still afraid of Miss Orange?"

Aiwen asked casually on the way. His question seemed to pierce Qingzi's heart, making her tone a little rough.

"No! I've never been afraid of her. I'm just worried that she'll make some big news and mess up my life plans."

Yes, Qingzi was sure that she was not afraid of Chengzi now, but a sister is still a sister, and no matter what, the feeling of being inferior to her will always remain.

Maybe he was still a little overwhelmed that his sister was still alive.

But as they got closer, Qingzi's face became more and more suspicious. She tilted her head strangely, as if questioning her own eyes.

"That guy, is he really my sister? He's drunk in broad daylight, and he looks so lazy and sloppy, he's obviously an incompetent adult."

The undisguised voice spread far away, and the short-haired beauty sitting at the small table at the door naturally heard it.

But she just looked up at Qingzi indifferently, and then fell into the embrace of alcohol again.

"Gulu."

After swallowing a mouthful of wine, Orange said nothing. His raised neck lost its support and he collapsed on the table.

This kind of slacking behavior completely extinguished Aoko's fighting spirit. No, to be more precise, it plunged Aoko into the shock of an idol's collapse.

"Who are you!" she shouted involuntarily, her voice so loud that it attracted a lot of attention.

The crowd began to whisper, and the target was naturally Orange, who was drunk. They probably regarded Qingzi and Orange as the alcoholic sister they didn't have and the younger sister they had been searching for so hard.

"Oh, you're so noisy, you little bitch. Didn't you see me and pretend I didn't know you? What's wrong with just leaving quietly like this?"

Finally, Orange, who had been pretending to be asleep, couldn't stand the noise anymore. She looked up and glared at Qingzi, packed up her things, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait!"

Qingzi quickly grabbed Aiwen and quickly chased after the orange figure in front.

At first, Qingzi thought the other party was trying to escape, but after chasing him for a while, she found that this was not the case.

Orange's speed was not very fast. It was more like he was deliberately letting them follow him rather than running away.

Thus, the two sides formed a tacit understanding and remained calm.

Passing through the bustling shopping streets and through the deserted alleys, leaving the hustle and bustle behind, Aiwen and Qingzi chased to the end and came to a remote bridge.

This is a small bridge for pedestrians only. It does not cross a river but a sewage ditch, so very few people pass by here.

Aiwen and Qingzi slowed down their pace here because Chengzi was leaning on the railing in front of them, looking sad and decadent.

The orange sunset light shone on her body, and for a moment, the color "orange" seemed to be the most suitable.

"Orange, you are not dead after all."

Aoko walked forward and looked at the person who was theoretically the first person she had killed. A complex feeling of heaviness and relief flowed in her heart.

Although Qingzi already knew that Orange was not dead, it was not until she actually saw him that she felt the reality. It was a settled, down-to-earth feeling.

At this moment, the first thought that came to her mind was "I haven't killed anyone yet."

"Why, are you planning to attack me again now that you know I'm not dead? I no longer have the seal I stole, I no longer have my familiar, and even the rune stone is shattered. Only a tenth of my savings remain. This is indeed a good time to strike."

Holding the cheap bottle of wine in his hand, Orange continued to pour it into his mouth even now, and the flush on his face was so strong that it was heart-warming.

"..."

Qingzi didn't say anything. Her face was as hard as iron and she stood straight in place. Her strong temperament was like a tower.

"Why aren't you talking? Don't you even want to chat before you kill me?"

She exhaled drunkenly. Although her words were about heavy topics such as life and death, her tone was as empty as a drunken dream.

"Aiwen." Qingzi suddenly turned around and called out. There was no warmth in her voice, only the coldness of judgment.

"As the one attacked by Orange, you are fully qualified to swear revenge, just like you helped me. Just say the word and I will join you in the fight right now."

"Although according to you, my elder sister won't die so easily, but there is always a price to pay for resurrection."

At this moment, Aoko is no longer the classmate that Aiwen is familiar with, but a ruthless magician named "Aozaki Aoko". The murderous intent in her words is real. As long as Aiwen nods, she will take action immediately.

But Aiwen knew that this was not her intention.

Aozaki Aoko has an independent will and subconsciously asks Aiwen for her opinion, which shows that she just wants to convince herself.

So Aiwen felt that what he should do as a friend was to let Qingzi choose the side that she would not regret.

"Aozaki, don't worry about me. Miss Orange is already bearing the consequences of that attack. I have no intention of taking her life."

"She attacked you with the intention of taking your life. Do you have the heart of a saint?"

Qingzi looked very surprised, so surprised that she was a little angry.

"I'm not a saint, and I won't let go of anyone who threatens my life."

Aiwen shook his head. He never lied, and his thoughts at this moment were not false.

"But the fact is that Miss Orange couldn't threaten me. She was too weak, so I didn't intend to kill her as punishment. Life is precious."

It was rare for Qingzi to find that Aiwen could express himself so gently, and the words "life is precious" left her unable to refute.

Perhaps this is also the voice deep in Aoko's heart. She is still an immature magic apprentice. Even if she can be ruthless enough to kill the enemy, she will not think it is a good thing deep down in her heart.

So, Qingzi took a deep breath, and sighed as if she wanted to spit out all her heart, "You're very lucky, Chengzi. Just think of it as saving your life."

After saying that, the girl turned and left. She had already come up with her own answer, so there was no need to stay.

"You're not going to kill me?"

Behind him, Aozaki Touko suddenly shouted this sentence, her face full of humiliation of being deprived of her life.

"Who said that? Didn't I kill you already? All grudges are naturally settled after death. I've already collected the price. Taking more would be greedy."

"So that's it, Orange. Before you make a move on me next time, we're even."

Qingzi laughed out loud with relief, pulled Aiwen's sleeve, and strode away from this desolate corner of the city.

The figure was so proud and unbridled that it made Orange see his own ugly and miserable state.

Her final advice came only after Qingzi's figure turned the corner.

"Come home and see Mom and Dad when you have time. Sister, you haven't been home for a long time, right?"

Chapter 78 Let’s live together

On the way back, the cold wind blew gently, but it couldn't extinguish Qingzi's high spirits.

She won, a complete victory. At this moment, she had completely surpassed her sister, who was a genius in the magic world!

"Hehe, the era of the great Aoko-sama is about to begin. Watch me punch my grandfather and kick the Magic Association, becoming the new generation of great magic... Ah, I can't tell you this. Keep it a secret."

Qingzi, who almost let the cat out of the bag, glanced at Aiwen who was leading the way in front, and lowered her voice with some relief.

"Although the relationship is good, the magician's secrets still need to be kept secret."

This is not because Aoko does not trust Aiwen. It is no secret in the magic world that the Aozaki family is a family of magicians. But according to her observation, Aiwen seems to be a lone magician and may not understand some common sense.

"Hehe, when I officially become a magician in the future, I'll reveal this secret to Aiwen. By then, he won't be able to keep this calm face anymore."

When Qingzi thought of Aiwen's surprised and shocked expression in front of her, she felt as if she was showing off her divine power in front of others.

To put it crudely, it's "pretending", but she is just a sophomore in high school, so it's understandable that she has such thoughts.

Aoko smiled triumphantly.

But the smiling expression only lasted until the hillside. Qingzi looked at the desolate scene in front of him, and his expression gradually became dull.

"Aiwen, are you sure this is the road to your home? This is just barren mountains, a truly undeveloped area."

"It's not a barren mountain. Before the battle with Miss Orange, this was an ordinary hillside covered with trees."

Aiwen explained lightly as he carefully identified the road ahead.

But the second half of his words, which expressed his agreement, had already chilled Qingzi's heart.

She guessed that Aiwen's living environment might not be very good. After all, he had to work part-time and didn't have any elders. But wasn't this too much?!

"I thought you'd at least live in a cheap rental, but this is already heading for survival in the wilderness. There has to be a limit to how far you can go from society. You know, even Youzhu wouldn't refuse electricity and natural gas."

It's totally unimaginable. Qingzi simply can't imagine life without running water and electric wires. That must be too harsh for modern people to understand.

Qingzi's impression of Aiwen has changed from a mysterious hermit to a wild man who can overcome all obstacles.

"How about I talk to Youzhu and let him stay in the mansion temporarily? Anyway, judging from Youzhu's attitude, she probably won't refuse."

Qingzi stumbled around the uneven path, and sympathy for Aiwen arose in her heart.

But now that she was there, Qingzi became even more curious about the house where Aiwen lived, and she had to see it today.

"Wow, there are so many grass clippings here, they've all gotten into my boots."

Feeling the tingling and numbness on the soles of his feet, Qingzi kicked his feet unhappily, and the stones that were affected rolled away.

A broken slope full of traces of fallen trees. Not only do you have to be careful of tripping stones, but you also have to step over fallen tree trunks from time to time.

As we went deeper and deeper, the scenery in front of us gradually became greener, and the few branches that were not blown down added color to the land.

But overall it was still a wilderness, without a trace of civilization. It was not until he passed through the last shelter that a simple hut finally brought Qingzi a familiar sense of civilization.

Although the hut was half collapsed, the beams were broken, and the roof was missing, it was completely uninhabitable.
