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

After she finished speaking, she paused, then responded seriously: "Ewen, although this reason is trivial, it is by no means insignificant. I agree."

Hearing this, Aiwen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a trace of sadness flashed through his heart.

"Then please apologize to Youzhu for me. I made her sad and I'm not a good friend."

"I refuse. An apology is my own remorse. There is no reason for someone else to take my place."

Qingzi refused without hesitation, and Aiwen nodded with understanding and disappointment, agreeing with this statement.

"Indeed, an apology is an act of alleviating guilt. People like me shouldn't be forgiven. I will always remember this apology."

Hearing this, Qingzi slapped Aiwen in annoyance.

"Stupid, you must have misunderstood something. I meant that if you want to apologize, go in person. I must take you away."

"Wait, Aoko, didn't you agree with my decision? You just said you would go back."

"Who said that? My original words were: If I agree with your reasons, then I will go back."

Qingzi playfully closed one eye: "But it doesn't say that I can only go back alone."

"Isn't this cheating?!"

Poor Aiwen is too naive. How can he be a match for the despicable Qingzi, whose physical age is seventeen and mental age is over fifty?

This wasn't a fair fight from the start.

"No, I won't go back with Qingzi no matter what. This is already decided, unless you take action, Qingzi."

Aiwen released the hand that had been held, took two steps back, turned around and prepared to leave.

"But you can't beat me, Aoko, so just give up."

"Yeah, I never thought I could win against you. The more I get to know you, the more I realize that the chances of winning never existed in the first place."

Qingzi looked at Aiwen's back with interest, without any sense of urgency, and could even be said to be confident.

"But Aiwen, I am your lover. After so many years, I know you even better than you know yourself. There are so many ways to make you give in."

"For example, this is the simplest and most effective..."

She took a deep breath, put her hands around her mouth to make a trumpet shape, and after a brief pause, Aoko shouted all the words out loud.

"Aiwen, it's okay if you don't leave, but then I won't leave either. We won't have time to spend our honeymoon together in the future, so it would be nice to make up for it now. I couldn't ask for more."

The words shouted out had no power and seemed like a joke.

But beneath the frivolous content, Qingzi's serious determination had already been conveyed to Aiwen's heart.

"Are you serious?"

The footsteps of leaving stopped, Aiwen frowned and turned back to look at the smiling Qingzi, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his expression complicated and unreadable.

As Qingzi said, she knew Aiwen too well, and his personality was completely controlled by her.

"How about it? With a beautiful woman like me by your side, I promise you won't be lonely anymore."

The red-haired woman said this with a smile, looking nonchalant.

But Aiwen could see that she was ready to give up her future life, and would not give up even if it meant accompanying herself into eternal damnation.

"How can you achieve this, Aoko? You should be the type of person who prioritizes your own will over others."

"Indeed, I don't like to change my mind because of others."

Standing there with her arms folded across her chest and a carefree manner, Aoko raised her eyebrows, her tone full of fighting spirit, revealing the most essential belief that can be said to constitute the character of Aozaki Aoko.

"But before that, what's more important is that I won't do anything that I'll regret. Since I want to take you back, I won't give up."

"This is not for you, but for the existence called Aozaki Aoko, who will definitely carry out the things she carries to the end."

This is undoubtedly a threat. Qingzi has sewed her own future into Aiwen's decision. In this way, she will share half of Aiwen's pain in the future.

It was a complete defeat. Aiwen was shaken violently for some reason he didn't even know.

"As expected, what you've always resisted is letting others share the negative consequences caused by you. This excessive sense of responsibility is so easy to exploit."

Aoko, who witnessed this, had a look of "I've won".

The two confronted each other for a long time, but it was obvious that victory was in Qingzi's hands, and the outcome was already determined.

Aiwen looked at Qingzi with some dissatisfaction, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

"That won't do. The pain of exile belongs to me alone. There's no room for sharing it with others. Qingzi is too despicable. I give in."

It looked like he had given up something, but also like he had picked up something. Dissatisfaction and happiness filled Aiwen's heart at the same time.

"It doesn't matter. Did you only realize at this moment that I'm a despicable woman?"

Qingzi smiled like a big bad wolf and said teasingly, unable to suppress his joy.

She walked forward gracefully but quickly, taking the opportunity to get close to him again, so that their breathing could overlap again.

"..."

Aoko closed her eyes.

She knew that after everyone's efforts, they had finally dragged this idiot back onto the road to a happy future, and this time he wouldn't be able to escape.

Chapter 118 Goodbye, Return (3.5k)

For a long time, the lips are divided.

A fiery atmosphere spread between the two of them. Qingzi looked at Aiwen's helpless eyes and raised the corners of her mouth smugly.

"This is what I deserve. Consider it a reward for coming all the way here."

She knew that Aiwen did not actually have pure sexual desire, because his body was created by the Fourth Law and was only used to carry the soul.

For example, it's like a mecha cockpit.

In a normal life, the soul acts as the driver, and the spirit acts as the driving force, together controlling the mecha as a physical body. However, in some special cases, the mecha soul awakens, giving the mecha its own will.

Aiwen is like a remote controller of the mecha, and he himself is not in the cockpit.

Therefore, he would not react at all to physical teasing, but would rather cooperate with the other person's interest. After Mirai Aoko knew this, she felt very lost for a while and felt that she was looked down upon.

But slowly, she discovered another kind of pleasure. Now Qingzi likes to touch Aiwen constantly, teasing this body that perfectly reflects the appearance of his soul and disturbing his rest time.

Until Aiwen feels helpless from the bottom of her heart, and then takes the initiative to satisfy her thoughts.

This would become their daily routine in the future. After all, Aiwen was the only one who had thoughts - whether active or passive, some human desires would be reflected in the body.

……

"...Huh, Aoko, is this okay for you?"

Looking at the face so close to him and feeling the exchange of breath between them, Aiwen always felt that something was wrong.

He didn't care that Qingzi would do some small things to him that would break his boundaries.

Out of guilt for leaving without saying goodbye and his strong liking for Qingzi, even if she wanted to take the next step, Aiwen would agree, but that would make it difficult to end the relationship.

Fortunately, Qingzi also knows how to restrain herself.

After all, at the age of seventeen, she was still a simple high school girl, and kissing was already the limit.

If Aoko is more unbridled in the future and makes another breakthrough, then after the time is up, the young girl will probably be too embarrassed to appear in front of everyone and will be too embarrassed to return to Misaki Town for a few years.

"Of course, I'd be happy to get ahead of them."

"Please don't do this. I still want to talk to Aoko normally."

Aiwen decisively rejected the red-haired Aoko's bold opinion.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qingzi stretched, showing off her slim waistline, and spoke in a very relaxed and lazy tone.

"Then let's go now? Although time is not so unchangeable for you and me, I am very tired and want to go back and rest early."

This was not just an excuse Qingzi made up. She was indeed only one step away from fainting.

Harnessing so much magic power while crossing world lines is even more difficult than interstellar travel. This is a planetary-level feat that only Qingzi, who has grown up for forty years, can accomplish.

No one knows the upper limit of magic, but the upper limit of a magician is not that difficult to aspire to. After doing such an outrageous act, it is difficult for Qingzi to remain safe and sound.

Her body and mind had reached their limits, and her laughter and asking for things just now were a way to encourage herself, otherwise she would have fainted.

"Well, I'll leave after I say goodbye to someone."

Although he was very reluctant before and refused to turn back, once he was persuaded, Aiwen made the decision without hesitation.

But before leaving, Aiwen felt he needed to say goodbye to Illya and asked if there was anything he could do for her.

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

"Really? You're leaving."

Back in the destroyed world, Aiwen and Illya said their final goodbyes. Beside them, Tanaka was pinching Aozaki Aoko's cheek with an angry look on his face.

At the same time, she kept muttering, "Bad thing, poisonous monster, I told you not to use magic recklessly..."

Of course, Aoko was unconscious, otherwise she would have fought back with force.

"Alright, alright, Ms. Tanaka, please stop bothering others. You were so scared when we first met, so there's no point in being so timid now."

Illya couldn't bear it anymore, so she took Tanaka back. She looked at Aoko, whose cheeks were slightly red from being pinched, and asked with some concern.

"Is Miss Aozaki okay? She was fine when she introduced herself, but she collapsed suddenly."

"She's not in danger of death, but if she doesn't take good care of herself for a few weeks after returning home, she might not be able to use her magic anymore. She tried too hard this time."

Touching Qingzi's long hair that had turned back to brown, Aiwen's tone was filled with concern and self-blame.

Just now, he brought Aoko back to Illya. When the two met, Aoko's face looked a little strange, but they got along and communicated with each other very smoothly.

Apart from Tanaka who kept muttering, she was like seeing a mortal enemy and refused to get even a step closer no matter what.

Just after both parties introduced themselves, Qingzi suddenly stumbled, as if the battery of a robot had been pulled out. Without even a buffer, she fell face down abruptly.

Her hair color faded from red to brown, and her internal organs and magic circuits were in a mess. It was obvious at a glance that it was the aftereffect of her previous misconduct.

The pain must have always been there, but Qingzi never showed it at all before, just endured it silently. Her mental tenacity is admirable.

"At least there's no danger. After all, she's sacrificed so much for Aiwen. I think you should take good care of her."

Illya joked, looking at Aiwen's face, her heart was filled with reluctance to part, but surprisingly, she was not sad.

"A friend who is like family can finally get rid of loneliness, and he has someone as reliable as Ms. Aozaki by his side. I can't wait to be happy, so why would I be sad?"

She thought this in her heart and couldn't help but smile.

But there is no need to shed tears when saying goodbye to a friend. At the last moment, Illya just wanted Aiwen to remember her smiling face.

But to say that she was completely happy would not be right, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"When I think about the days of waiting for each other with hope coming to an end, I do feel a little lonely deep down."

But this was not an emotion that could be expressed, and Illya didn't want Aiwen to feel unhappy before leaving.

"Ilia."

Suddenly, Aiwen called her, interrupting Illya's distraction. When her attention returned, she was faced with lake green eyes that occupied her entire body and mind.

"Would you like to leave with me? You know I'm a magician, right? This isn't difficult. If you want to return to your original world, I can do that, too."

To be honest, Illya's heart was instantly moved when she heard it, and she could hardly suppress the urge to agree.

She could indeed endure the loneliness of being away from everyone, but that didn't mean she liked it. There was a huge gap between being able to do it and being willing to do it.

But in the end, she fell silent, and scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

Six thousand years of stellar memory, the entanglement between Pandora and Darius, and the teasing and cruel treatment of fate on them...

Illya hopes to stay with them until the end, out of her own responsibility to change the past and also out of the hope that the two souls leaning on each other can be redeemed.

So she shook her head and refused Aiwen's help.

"Forget it. I still need to stay here to see off someone who lost their original intention in the distortion of time."

"Is that so? That's a shame, but since Illya said so, it must be a belief you can't give up. All I can do is wish you the best."
