"Thank you, Illya. I will never forget the time we spent together. Let us meet again in the future as fate leads us."
After saying that, Aiwen bent down, picked up Qingzi, and then turned and left. At the same time, he moved his arms slightly so that Qingzi could lie more comfortably.
Aiwen walked quickly without any hesitation. What he just said was his final farewell. No more words were needed between him and Illya.
Everything is unspoken.
Suddenly, Illya seemed to have thought of something and shouted to Aiwen,
"Wait, Aiwen, I have a gift for you."
Illya reached behind her, as if reaching into a void in another dimension, and she pulled out a furry handmade shawl from the air.
It was a simple yet lovely piece of clothing. The pattern on the outside was plain and elegant, and the fluff inside was comfortable and fine, showing the knitter's care.
"This shawl is the same style as the one that has been with me for six thousand years. Now I give it to you, hoping that the warmth I felt then will always be with you."
"...Thank you for your kindness. Although it is a women's style, I will cherish it and wear it."
"Isn't the women's version perfect? It matches Aiwen's appearance perfectly. I haven't forgotten the embarrassing moment when I mistook her gender for her when we first met."
With a devilish laugh, Illya took the initiative to step forward, tiptoeing, and carefully placed the shawl firmly on Aiwen's shoulders.
When she was done, she gently stroked the soft fabric, nodded complacently, and then gave Aiwen a strong push.
"It's really all right now. Let's go. You must have friends waiting for you over there. Don't let them worry any more."
"Same to you, Illya."
The figures of the two people gradually faded, like gray shadows disappearing in the darkness. The farewell just now was still ringing in my ears, but there was indeed no one in front of me.
The destroyed world was empty and silent, with only Illya's figure left between heaven and earth. She stared at the direction where Aiwen left for a long time without leaving.
Miss Tanaka floated to Illya's shoulder and gave her a silent hug. Although it looked like just a hug, it still made Illya feel comforted.
She took off the doll-sized Tanaka and rubbed it gently.
"It's okay, Ms. Tanaka. I'm not sad. It's just that for a while... it's hard for me to adapt."
"But Aiwen said we could meet again. He's a magician, so he definitely wouldn't lie to me. When the time comes, I'll let Kiritsugu, Mom, and Sera see him too. They'll definitely be shocked."
With a smile full of anticipation for the future, Illya walked towards her hut, and then the area became completely silent again without any sound.
-----------------
The Great Triangle Sea is roaring, the hurricane is causing huge waves, and tens of millions of tons of sea water are hitting everything around it.
This place has become a forbidden area for life, and the mountains created by Qingzi have long disappeared.
Shortly after she left, the wind and waves swept through the area again, and became even more violent as if in revenge.
In such a desperate situation, inside a pillar formed by several reefs, a magician is still waiting here.
"Beo, come a little closer, the water is filling up."
Holding the completely wet robe, which was almost soaked in water, pitifully, Aozaki Touko yelled to the outside of the corner.
"Miss Orange is really forcing me. I can only transform into various creatures, not plasticine. I can't possibly block all the holes."
The giant golden turtle outside was complaining in human language, but he still obeyed the order and slowly moved his body a few times to block as many of the incoming waves as possible.
"Speaking of which, Miss Orange, how long do we have to wait for the boss to come back?"
"How should I know? I'm not the one who knows magic."
Orange, who was extremely irritable due to the cold, spoke in a rough tone, but she still tried to answer the question.
"But theoretically, it shouldn't exceed four hours. You have to know that in front of a monster like a magician, time is just a hand that can be moved."
"Instead of asking questions, you might as well observe more. There will definitely be some unusual phenomena when they return."
"For example, the sea becomes clear?"
"Yes, it's possible if it's magic... What are you talking about?!"
Orange realized that the incessant roar of nature had ceased to resonate, and she instantly understood something. She quickly stood up and walked out of the hiding place.
Outside, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle, and the sky was filled with stars flowing like a river. The starlight alone could illuminate the sea, making it sparkle with ripples.
At the far end of the sea and sky, the reflections of the stars in the water seem to be connected with those in the sky, blurring the boundary between heaven and earth.
And in the center of the realm, a being more dazzling than the stars, holding a familiar brown-haired woman in his arms, strolled towards Orange and the others.
Chapter 119 Winter Sun (3k)
"Youzhu, Qingzi is still staying in her room and refusing to come out? This won't work. Do you want to go and call her?"
At a sunny noon, scattered hot rays of light passed through the interlaced trees and sprinkled on the earth. At the best time of this winter, a visitor knocked on Youzhu's door.
He has beautiful silver hair and a unique charm that is difficult to end without using suggestive magic. Although the clothes he wears are ordinary men's styles, he stubbornly wears a feminine plush shawl.
It was Aiwen himself.
It was already the third day after that night. After signing many unequal treaties, he finally received forgiveness from Kuonji Arizu.
Aiwen had no complaints about this.
In other words, the moment he saw Youzhu, who had always been indifferent and lived by the witch's code, crying, he once again realized the childishness of his own behavior.
So after making promises such as "never leave without saying goodbye", "must come to the mansion once a month", and "never make the arrogant witch cry again", Aiwen finally got Youzhu's smile again.
However, at that time, Youzhu also asked a strange question: "Aiwen, when did Qingzi fall into a coma? You must be tired of holding her all the time, right?"
"Hmm? You are also concerned about Qingzi's health, Yuzu. It seems that my advice has worked. You two are now very close."
"In the past, you would only check whether Qingzi maintained a minimum level of survival, without caring about her specific situation."
“…After all, I will change a little.”
Aiwen smiled, feeling that this was a good thing. He ignored Youzhu's slightly guilty face and told her everything about his encounter with Qingzi.
Well, Aiwen still kept those situations that crossed the line hidden. He felt that it was the future Aoko's mess and she shouldn't be attributed to the present Aoko.
However, even so, some little ambiguities may not be noticed by the parties themselves, but they are extremely obvious from the perspective of bystanders.
Youzhu's eyes became sharp, and his usually calm night eyes became as sharp as obsidian.
"...Anyway, that's what happened. Aoko was tired, so I carried her back. Then, considering her body might be stiff, I changed the position and carried her on my back."
"..."
The witch suddenly chuckled, a short, weak laugh that came out of her throat, like a breath.
"Youzhu, what's wrong with you? Your smile seems a little scary. You are a witch, not a sorceress, right?"
"How rude... No, it's nothing. I just recently developed a new magic trick and I'm very happy."
He gently raised his gloved right hand to cover his slightly opened face, revealing a creepy smile. He narrowed his eyes and smiled unusually brightly.
"I really like that magic trick. It's a kind of curse that can turn the object you hate into an animal. It's also very difficult to break."
"I originally thought it could only turn people into colorful frogs, but now I think it can also turn the target into a dirty cat. That's right, cats that like to steal fish are really not good things."
The ending tone of the voice rose slightly, and an eerie laughter that was exactly like that of an old witch seemed to come from the distant horizon.
"I have a bad feeling."
Aiwen sighed helplessly. He always felt that he would be in great trouble in the future, but he didn't know where it would come from.
It doesn't feel like a bad thing, but it doesn't feel good either.
"Forget it, they are just trivial matters anyway, I can use magic to solve them when the time comes."
But Aiwen still couldn't understand that some things were just happy but also painful, and even magic couldn't change that.
No, to be precise, the magician doesn't want to change.
Time returns to the present.
In response to Aiwen's question, Youzhu glanced coldly at the second floor of the East Building where Qingzi's room was located, and nodded slightly.
"Yeah, it's really too much if it continues like this. It's time to come out after being locked up for so long."
As she spoke, Youzhu put down the black tea she had brewed herself and elegantly wiped her water-stained hands with a handkerchief.
"Then I'll go call her again. Aiwen will just wait here. Ah, you can drink as much black tea as you want. I prepared plenty."
"No, I'll wait for you to come back and taste it together. Besides, I actually brought a gift."
Reaching out his hand into the void beside him, the space rippled like the surface of water. Aiwen reached his hand into the gap between things and took out a simply wrapped gift box.
"This is a popular shopping street dumpling. I asked a lot of people to confirm it. Don't be fooled by its simple design, but the taste is far superior to those high-end gift boxes in supermarkets."
He opened the package and took out about fifteen neatly arranged snow-white bunny-like dumplings. Aiwen picked up one and handed it to Youzhu.
"Here, try one first. It's filled with red bean paste. It's very sweet and goes perfectly with black tea."
Aiwen looked at Youzhu, waiting for her to reach out and take the dumpling, but Youzhu looked at it carefully for a long time, then suddenly bent down and bit the whole dumpling and her fingertips in one bite.
"Aww."
Gently bite it and you can feel the hardness of the teeth with the tip of your finger.
But soon the softness of the tongue tip came over, and the wetness and warmth had an overwhelming presence. Just a brief lick was enough to leave only shyness and heat in one's mind.
Aiwen was stunned. He just asked Youzhu to catch it, but he didn't expect her to taste it directly without any sense of distance.
This behavior is already a clear violation of the boundaries, and even in the dark corners of the world, such an appearance implies a special interest.
He bit the dumpling and rolled it away with his tongue. At the end, he seemed to suck it to avoid wasting it. Youzhu chewed the dumpling in his mouth, looking as cute as a hamster.
"It tastes great, I love it. Please bring some more often in the future."
She left these words, and then walked out of the living room gracefully as if nothing had happened, leaving Aiwen alone looking at her fingertips at a loss.
But does Youzhu really think that there is nothing wrong with what he did just now?
The answer is no. Just look at her red cheeks and you will know everything.
Hiding in the corner of the stairs, Youzhu took deep breaths continuously, but her outrageous behavior just now kept surging in her mind.
"Haha, I told you it's easy. If you want to do it, you can do it, right?"
Youzhu began to hear hallucinations again. An ancestor who refused to sleep peacefully kept stirring in her mind.
"But you're too weak right now. This time, your move was successful, but you're not wearing the proper attire you need as a lady, which has significantly dampened the atmosphere. How could I possibly have a junior like you? You should seize every opportunity to attack. I'm telling you..."
"Shut up."
A heart filled with shyness overheated and gave rise to murderous intent. Youzhu scolded the ancestors in his mind without any hesitation, which made the voice pause for a moment.
Youzhu breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to walk to the door of Qingzi's room, but before she opened the door, the voice rang again.
"My lovely offspring, don't forget that you still have a price to pay. I have stayed here until now just for that moment."
"……I know."
Youzhu bit her lip, and the blush that had finally faded away reappeared. Her eyes flickered, revealing complex colors.
"But it was still too fast."
'No, no, no, not fast at all.'
The voice of the Witch of Mainest lingered in my ears, just like the old witch who induced Snow White to eat the red apple, full of temptation and excitement.
"I can sense your thoughts. Your affection for him is enough, isn't it? You too long to touch that transcendent beauty, but it's only useless shame that holds you back."
"When I was alive, I didn't have such complicated moral concepts as we do now. If you liked someone, you should act decisively. Money, body, knowledge, personality, in short, do everything you can to tie him to your side!"
"Besides, I can see that the person you like is not good at dealing with complicated emotions. He can't even distinguish between friendship and love. Isn't now the best time to conquer him?"
"Woo..."
Youzhu's pupils trembled, and he was obviously caught in a struggle between conscience and desire.
Her ancestors were right. The Mainster family had a natural tendency to pursue love.
Just as a bird would not question why it could fly, Youzhu would not question the fact that she fell in love with Aiwen so easily.
