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

"It can't be done."

Qingzi refused decisively: "There are still many vacancies left. I will not give up here."

"So if you want to stop me, you have to use force."

"That's not what I meant. I just think there's a better way to provide you with sufficient magic power." Elquet shook his head. "This method won't cause imbalance, and it will also relieve the pressure on the world."

After saying this, Elquet pointed his index finger at himself with a serious look.

"I will give up my defense and destroy my body, Aozaki Aoko."

For ordinary people, this was an outrageous request, but the mature Qingzi immediately understood what the other party meant.

"I see. As a True Ancestor, your body holds a vast amount of magical energy. If you die without resistance, will it dissipate?"

"That's right. If, at the moment my body is destroyed, my consciousness chooses to return to the inner sea of the stars and give up on rebuilding my body, then the excess magic power will return to nature. You can take this opportunity to absorb it."

Two strange people were having a strange conversation, and they were researching how to kill each other without batting an eyelid. This was still too advanced for humans.

But when I think about the fact that one of them is an immortal vampire and the other is a magician, the picture suddenly makes sense.

For both of them, the destruction of their bodies was not death at all, but just a bigger wound.

"Well, I'll be relieved if I can reduce the debt a little bit. I'll give you a quick death."

Without hesitation, Aoko placed her right hand on Elquet's chest, and the light of the magic bullet began to condense.

But before that, Qingzi asked one last question.

"Wouldn't it be a pity to leave like this? You're eager to see Aiwen, right?"

Hearing this, Elquet was stunned for a moment, as if he had imagined the scene, and an expectant smile appeared on his cheeks.

"It's a pity to leave first, but he still owes me a promise, so we will definitely see each other again in the future."

"And this time I didn't feel any pain when I went back. I was able to fall asleep with interesting memories and anticipation. This in itself was worth looking forward to."

"I see. I lost to you. As expected of that guy..."

After muttering a few words, Qingzi fired the magic bullet and easily ended the opponent's heart beating.

Then, just as Elquet said, the True Ancestor's body, which made no attempt to defend or recover, immediately disintegrated and began to transform into extremely pure magic power.

"Wow, that's enough now. She's worthy of being a True Ancestor. I'll have to remember to thank her later."

Looking at the huge amount of magic power rapidly swirling around him, Qingzi knew that the time was ripe.

Aiwen's current coordinates, the magic power required to cross the world, and the magic she mastered.

To put it in an analogy, the process of solving a math problem has been laid out, and all that remains is to solve it.

She struggled to concentrate all her magic power, and like igniting a rocket, she used the magic power to push herself into the broken passage.

The high heat from the rapid circulation of magic power caused a burning phenomenon, sweeping across a large area of the triangular sea.

Orange, who was watching from the sidelines, thought she saw a pale blue meteor. The rushing magic was so magnificent in her eyes.

Of course, the journey there will not be smooth sailing. It is not easy to control such a huge amount of magic power. If you are not careful, even the circuit will be blocked.

The circuits in the body that overuse magic power become extremely hot, and the high temperature that exceeds the limit begins to denature the proteins that make up the human body.

Along the way, Qingzi no longer remembered how many times she refreshed her status, but she never stopped.

She would complain about the energy everyone put in, but she didn't use her own experience as material to complain to Aiwen.

Instead, they view it as a minor inconvenience not worth mentioning.

As for the reason...

Although Qingzi would not admit it, she certainly did not think that the price she paid for her feelings would be "bitter".

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

"Anyway, this is it. Because of your willfulness, everyone is involved. If you refuse, I won't agree."

Looking at Aiwen in front of her, Aoko said so.

Chapter 117 Qingzi is too despicable! (4k)

"You all did so much for me? It's obviously unnecessary."

Aiwen looked embarrassed. He thought that although he had a good relationship with Youzhu and the others, they were just close friends, and the sadness caused by separation should be healed with the passage of time.

But the facts show that this idea is too naive.

"Am I taking the word friend too lightly, or are Azuki and Aoko taking friends too seriously?"

He fell into self-doubt, and Qingzi saw his cute conflicted look, which made her smile and purse her lips again.

However, the remaining sense of shame stopped her and prevented Qingzi from doing anything that would let herself go.

"Fool, helping your friends is unnecessary and unnecessary. If you care about gains and losses, it just means you are a familiar stranger."

While Aiwen was thinking, Qingzi quietly stretched out her hand and held the other person tightly with her fingers crossed.

"Anyway, come back with me quickly. If you're happy with it, I won't mind you leaving without saying goodbye. But Youzhu is very stingy, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

As she spoke, Qingzi gently pulled her hand, but as expected, it didn't move.

An apologetic look appeared on Aiwen's face. He did not let go of Qingzi's hand, allowing her to rub and knead it, but he refused to move.

"I'm sorry, Qingzi, for making you come here for nothing. I know it's cruel, but I won't go back with you."

There is no doubt that these are extremely cold words. The moment they were spoken, it meant that Aiwen decided to ignore the efforts of Qingzi and the others.

'Qingzi will be so eager to beat me up,' Aiwen thought to himself.

He lowered his head, waiting to bear the consequences of the other party's anger, if this would make Qingzi feel better.

But strangely, the intimate atmosphere did not change at all. Aoko still had a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a kind of helplessness that said "as expected".

"I knew it wouldn't go this smoothly, but it's only natural. You're not known for being flexible, so I anticipated this."

With a sigh, Qingzi was not disappointed. After all, she didn't expect that simple words could change Aiwen's mind.

"Okay, then tell me your reasons. If you can convince me, I will go back."

They stood face to face, holding each other's hands to their chests, and the future Aoko stroked Aiwen's face with her other hand, staring at him with a smile.

"Really?"

"Really, I won't lie to you now."

Aoko's eyes were serious, she would really do that, but before Aiwen could speak, she gently pressed her index finger against his upper lip.

"But there's one thing you have to be careful about: don't tell lies that you don't even believe. False excuses can only deceive yourself and hurt the people who love you."

"..."

This sentence made Aiwen swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Looking at the gentle but expectant gaze on the opposite side, Aiwen understood Qingzi's purpose.

Yes, the goal of the woman in front of him was not to listen to Aiwen's excuses.

She wanted Aiwen to face the deepest part of his heart and explore the origin of his actions so far.

Aoko just hopes that he will realize what he really wants.

Could I do it? Did I truly understand the true nature of the emotions stirring within me?

'It can be done,' Irving said to himself, always aware that he was deceiving himself with rationality.

The high-sounding and hypocritical reasons are just anesthetics to comfort oneself. The real thoughts have always been hidden at the bottom of the heart and have never changed.

But even though I know it, it is difficult to face it.

Because it was a very small reason, a worthless thought of giving up, the result of childish thinking, and a purely awkward complaint.

"I……"

He hesitated to speak, carefully digging out words like a fisherman catching pearls, and then slowly gluing them together.

Qingzi looked at him gently without saying a word, but she tightened her grip a little, as if she wanted to pass on her warmth.

Having traveled back from the future, she naturally knew the real answer. It was a reason that was too simple, yet it shone with a little brilliance.

Every time she recalled it, she couldn't help but smile and sigh, feeling that she had failed at this moment.

Because Aiwen's expression was so cute when he told her the reason, she realized that she couldn't escape. The beating of her chest said it all.

"I just..." Aiwen opened her mouth, trying to force out the result of self-examination.

Recalling the past, returning to the initial memory point, his new life begins.

I felt the joy of life for the first time, met the old magician who was both my teacher and elder, and started a one-year study.

His attitude towards life, his ability to distinguish between good and evil, and his understanding of the world have shaped who he is today bit by bit.

Recognize the greatness and cruelty of life, know the fragility and clarity of the existence of good and evil, and witness the rules of the world's existence.

Life and death are opposites, and because of the dignity of life, death is even more equal.

For the sake of oneself, for the sake of desire, for the sake of continuation, one brings death to an existence that is not oneself, and robs others/things of their value.

Therefore, committing atrocities is justified. The vitality of life is based on plunder, and the foundation of survival is strength.

There is nothing wrong with the murderer, there is nothing wrong with the system that punishes the murderer, and there is nothing wrong with the person who is killed. Everything is part of the natural law.

Aiwen is well aware of the rules that exist on the planet and among all living things, and he also agrees with the act of using power to satisfy desires.

Those who lack ability will naturally not be able to achieve their goals.

But even so, even so...

"I just hope the effort pays off."

The recollection of memories stopped at the moment when the teacher passed away peacefully.

I can no longer remember what I was thinking at the time, but that empty feeling still remains in my heart, like a cold, bottomless pool of water.

"The teacher possessed enough power to live as he pleased, but responsibility forced him to choose a painful path, until in the end, his only remaining wish was death."

"I feel bad. Death is cold, but it's not sad. Sad are those who long for death. Teacher, it shouldn't have ended like this."

“So I wanted to give back that experience and prove that a teacher’s life has unique meaning, so I embarked on the same path.”

"At least this way, I can get closer to the teacher's life."

Aiwen's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was reading a CD containing the past.

There is an indescribable warmth in his words, which reminds people of the sunshine at noon in winter and the relaxation of making a cup of tea.

Aoko stared intently, and she memorized this scene in her heart with an unceremonious and loving look.

"Sure enough, even after experiencing it once, I still feel moved. After all, this guy is just so hard to let go."

As Aiwen's future...lover, Qingzi understands Aiwen better than he does now. She knows that there is another feeling that he has not yet realized.

——That is the guilt towards oneself.

This was what Qingzi learned after asking in the future. Although Aiwen regarded this as a black history and was full of resistance, he finally gave in.

[Maybe because I didn’t have enough knowledge at the time, I couldn’t treat my own uniqueness correctly. I just felt that I was lucky and it was not something to be proud of.

So when I found that I could easily use the fourth method, I felt only guilt.

The teacher endured so much, worked hard all his life, and was tortured by magic until his death, but I easily surpassed the teacher simply because of my innate specialness.

Doesn't this make the teacher's life a joke? Just because of bad luck, they have to face such an end.

That’s probably why I made that decision at that time, hoping to prove something.]

"Even though he appears mature to others, he can't make the right decisions when it comes to his own thoughts. Aiwen is still very immature."

Qingzi thought to herself with half pity and half joy.

At this moment, Aiwen seemed to have completed a confession, facing his true thoughts that he had been deliberately avoiding, and once again confirmed his original intention.

"Qingzi, this is the real reason why I am not worth mentioning. Can you accept it?"

Qingzi sighed helplessly.

"Well, if I lied and said I didn't agree, then things would be simple, but after hearing what you said, it's impossible to say anything against your will."
