Aoko, her face filled with disbelief, then saw another figure emerge from behind her.
He was a tall, handsome young man, about the same age as himself and Youzhu.
He was a traveler carrying a suitcase and wearing a trench coat, looking like he had been traveling a long way.
"In the name of Luvist."
The visitor smiled and said, "Miss Kuonji Yuzu, you have been living in this Kuonji residence for twenty years—"
"It's time to settle the rent."
Chapter 145 The Magical Offense and Defense Battle: Yumina, the First Fragment of Magic, the Real Acerlot
Louis Vest—
The words uttered by the weary young man echoed along the road in the back mountain area of Misaki City. On both sides of the forest, countless strange dolls, resembling spiders yet possessing human-like limbs, twisted and swayed, seemingly emitting a sound of fear from their very nature. Aozaki Touko, who was not wearing glasses, had a cold and sarcastic expression on her face. She crossed her arms and looked across at the other side, with an attitude of complete anticipation for a good show.
Aozaki Aoko glanced at her 'older sister' and then at the unfamiliar boy who had suddenly appeared behind her. Although she was somewhat surprised by Aozaki Touko's appearance, upon closer reflection, Aoko did not find it to be a matter of course.
Orange is four years older than her.
From childhood to adulthood, as the younger sister, she has always lacked presence in front of her older sister, Orange, who is superior to her in both talent and intelligence, and has never regarded herself as her rival.
Orange is the rightful heir to the Aozaki family.
Not only her, but even Aoko thought so.
So in Orange's view, being suddenly designated by her grandfather as the family heir was indeed a deprivation of something to her.
Therefore, in Aoko's view...
Orange's behavior is also reasonable.
Even though she had mysteriously disappeared for several years before this.
Even though she had already severed ties with her family before this—even severed 'relationships'.
"so."
The high school girl, hands on her hips, suddenly revealed an expression as if she had seen through the truth: "Orange, so all these years, you eloped with someone? And came back with such a strange excuse—"
"So you like younger people, huh!"
The girl had a mocking look on her face.
orange:"?"
Kuuanji Yuju: "?"
Lu Kang: "..."
Although it was immediately obvious that this girl was outgoing and lively, this reaction truly surprised everyone...
"You idiot, have you never been to a history class or even heard of Louis Vuitton?"
Orange couldn't help but speak up directly.
"Huh? Why should I hear that?" Aoko asked, puzzled.
Whether on the surface or in the depths of the world, Luvist—this girl seemed to be completely unaware of it.
Fortunately, Lu Kang already knew about the girl's reaction, so although he was a little upset, he didn't react too much.
Fortunately,
His target tonight is not her.
But...
"Qingzi, put me down."
A flat, monotone girl's voice echoed.
Throughout the entire process, Lu Kang smiled and watched the figure in his peripheral vision, which shifted slightly.
Why use peripheral vision to look?
That was naturally because at this moment, Kuonji Yuzuri was still being carried on Aoko's shoulder. Her slender figure in a black dress had her head facing inward and her upper body folded behind Aoko's back, making her look like an expressionless human doll. However, from Lu Kang's perspective, one could see her swaying legs where the skirt fell, as well as the exquisite lines that were tightly wrapped by the skirt and the slightly deep shadows cast between the lights in the distance.
"Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't look at what you shouldn't see..." Lu Kang raised his eyes slightly and saw that Qingzi, who had heard Youzhu's voice, realized that the girl in the dress was still on him, and hurriedly put her down.
He watched as the expressionless girl landed steadily as her long dress fluttered, then looked up at him.
“Louis, right?”
Yuzhu didn't look at Touko beside her, even though Touko was the mastermind behind the attacks on them these past few days—even though the Kuonji family and the Aozaki family had a very deep friendship, and as the current head of the Kuonji family, she was well aware of the extraordinary talent Touko had shown since childhood, and understood the danger of this woman.
But she wasn't the carefree Aoko. Upon hearing the surname Luvist, she understood that Aozaki Touko was right; the protagonist tonight wasn't her.
Instead, it was this boy who came with the name 'Louis'.
"good."
Lu Kang smiled and replied, finally looking directly at him.
"evidence?"
Yuzhu asked expressionlessly, not denying the matter of Luvist's rent, because it was an undeniable fact.
Forty years ago.
Louis, who settled in the Far East Yamato Country, did indeed acquire a large number of land use rights in the Far East Yamato Country—including this Western-style mansion in Misaki City, this entire back mountain is his property.
The ancestors of the Kuonji family had rented this piece of land in the mountains from them.
In a way, this was somewhat of an unintended consequence for Lu Kang. At that time, he was active under the name Lu Weister. Although his mind magic was still in its infancy, he was still limited by the amount of magic power and could not reach the true pinnacle.
At that time, he was actively building the 'Academy City' in order to live a more peaceful and stable life with the princess in the Far East.
To achieve this goal, he needs an enormous amount of magic power.
They also naturally set their sights on the many neglected lands in the post-war period of decline, and the ley lines that had temporarily lost their administrators.
The means that were conveniently used to achieve the goal at the time.
However, it can also serve other purposes now.
“No need,” Lu Kang said. “I am the ‘evidence’.”
“Just let me into the ley lines—and you will see the marks left by ‘Louis’ there.”
A simple land deed cannot last forever.
The mysterious techniques become increasingly 'profound' with the passage of time.
“I’m sorry.” Yuzhu took a deep breath and raised her hand: “According to the ‘rules,’ I can’t let you in.”
"Even if you really are 'Louis'!"
Because the land on which this mansion is located was indeed leased by the Kuonji family.
But more importantly, it was the only keepsake left to her by her parents.
It is something she must protect.
Before this, she had truly protected this place for ten years!
"I don't have to go in, as long as the Kuonji family pays the funds."
Lu Kang didn't force him.
"How many?"
It's clear that, if possible... Yuzhu doesn't want to fight the person in front of her.
Although it's impossible to tell the depth.
But her magician's instincts told her that this boy was not someone to be trifled with.
"Approximately thirty-six years' rent, totaling—3.6 billion."
One hundred million a year.
"!?"
Aoko, who was listening in, was startled.
"The unit is US dollars."
Land itself wouldn't be this expensive.
However, if you include the 'earth veins' beneath it, the price would be far more than that.
"Um... I have a question, what will happen if we don't pay it back?" Aoko finally couldn't help but raise her hand and interject.
Even the most carefree person would eventually realize that collecting rent wasn't just a casual excuse, but a real matter.
Otherwise, Youzhu would not have acknowledged it.
They wouldn't even ask.
Lu Kang glanced at the girl: "Then don't blame me for resorting to violent debt collection—"
"Qingzi, do it!"
Lu Kang hadn't finished speaking.
Then, Aoko heard Yuzhu's voice, low and deep, still without any inflection, but with a strange chill. While Aoko was still in a daze, Yuzhu, dressed in black and looking like a witch from a fairy tale, took a step forward. Her slender, jade-like fingertips swept through the air, as if turning the pages of an invisible fairy tale book.
From the folds of her black dress, three familiars in the form of blue robins quietly flapped their wings, and the light dust scattered by their feathers eroded reality into a watercolor-like texture.
"—Robin Glaciais)"
As she chanted coldly, the trails of the flock of birds condensed into ice crystal patterns, and the entire space seemed to begin to twist according to the logic of a fairy tale—the outlines of the trees melted into crayon-like lines, and the asphalt road surface rippled with color.
The flow of time inside the barrier gradually became disconnected from the outside world, as if it had been trapped in a miniature world of a snow globe.
The rustling sound of papers turning over came from beneath Aoko's feet.
She looked down and saw her shadow being bathed in purple light, while in the distance, Orange's spider-like writhing puppet army was engulfed in a violent roar, like the awakening of some giant monster.
Aoko knew that the familiars of the Pearl were writing mysterious rules.
It was like a net that unfolded in an instant... and a mysterious spell and a large barrier that operated and spread in an instant.
The world seemed to have transformed into a fairytale-like 'oil painting'.
The only clear thing left were Lu Kang, Chengzi, and Qingzi standing among them.
This is...
"Arisu actually used so much 'PLOY' directly!?"
Qingzi was surprised.
PLOY, strategy.
This is the special name that Yushu gave to the 'familiar' she controlled.
It is an extremely special, fairytale-level 'monster'.
"'PLOY'?"
Lu Kang was visually supervised throughout the entire process.
of course.
He prefers to call it PLOY rather than PLOY.
"The Witch System Named Yumina".
“Fragments of the First Law”.
"The true witch, the power of 'Acherot'."
Chapter 146 A God Walking in Modern Times, Youzhu: Gu! Kill!
There are only five types of magic in the world, and in this small ancient town, there are as many as two of them—one is inherited by a girl who can't even be called a half-baked magician, and the other is not complete, but can only be called a 'fragment within a fragment'.
However, if such a thing were to be spread among the magicians of the underworld, it would surely cause a huge uproar, plunging this city, which would be considered remote even within the country of Yamato, located in the Far East, into a mysterious vortex of chaos, filled with magicians from all over the world.
