Between these words.
Lu Kang looked at the quiet girl across the table, dressed in black but with a face as white as ice and snow, exuding a mysterious aura—the descendant of a witch, Kuonji Yuzu.
Yuzhu was also drinking coffee and eating breakfast, behaving elegantly but not saying a word.
Aozaki Aoko couldn't help but twitch her brow.
"Is this what you call 'violent debt collection'?" she asked.
"Emotional abuse is also a form of violence!"
Lu Kangli was unreasonable but also arrogant.
"..."
Aoko was speechless, but she really had no way to refute or object.
She didn't mind having another roommate. Such a large mansion would be too lonely if only she and Youzhu lived there, especially since Youzhu had a very quiet and aloof personality.
She harbored no hostility towards Lu Kang.
Especially after seeing the shadow left by Yuzhu's mother last night.
Even after learning the truth, Aoko still felt somewhat apologetic as the 'hostess' for not being hospitable enough to this boy who had come from a foreign land.
however.
This boy—this man—gave her a real sense of danger.
It's hard not to make her mind or care.
She could sincerely apologize on behalf of Ayumi Ward for what happened last night and try to make amends within her means, but letting such a dangerous person stay is ultimately...
Whether she minded or cared, this mansion ultimately belonged to Ayumi, and this land truly belonged to 'Louis'—provided Ayumi had no objections, Aoko really couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Yuzhu truly had no objections...
"Aoko."
The girl, who looked like a fairytale witch, suddenly spoke.
Yuzhu looked up at Qingzi and said, "You're going to be late."
Aoko then realized what was happening—and immediately, without paying any attention, she grabbed the bread and milk from the table amidst the hurried noise and footsteps, then swung her shoulder bag and rushed outside!
The commotion vanished in an instant.
Only silence remained inside the Western-style building.
Lu Kang glanced sideways and remarked, "She really is a very energetic and decisive girl."
Yuzhu raised her eyes but only looked at him.
It wasn't exactly hostility, just a stare.
"On another note, don't you have to go to class?"
Lu Kang returned a calm gaze: "You two should be about the same age, right?"
"And you don't need to look at me like that. Although I am indeed very interested in magic, I will never use 'force'."
Lu Kang's style of doing things remains the same as always, with 'honesty' as the main principle.
Even if you're going to be a scumbag, you should be a scumbag in a clear and unambiguous way.
"For me, many mysteries in the world can be understood simply by observation—even if they are derivatives of 'magic' power."
He pointed to his eyes.
Although he was not born with a demonic eye, his eyes were already able to record everything in the world under the operation of his divine body.
Youzhu then withdrew her gaze and nodded slightly.
After witnessing the opponent's unreasonable strength.
She didn't feel that the boy opposite her had any reason to deceive her.
After a moment of hesitation and silence, she also...
She breathed lightly with her red lips slightly pursed, and spoke again: "My mother has already told me about 'Louis.'"
Last night.
"I will abide by the contract she signed with you."
The 'contract' between the witch Mainst and the most wicked man, Luvist—the promise to research the 'Fragment of the First Law'.
This was also an additional condition that Luca had placed on Mainst's life when he extended it.
It was a contract he made that allowed her to meet the grown-up woman in a projection form more than ten years later.
Although Mainster himself possessed the First Law Fragment back then.
But as her time was drawing near, she could hardly use it when she met Lu Kang.
When Lu Kang mentioned this, he was more or less filled with some of the sentiment he had as 'Luvist' at the time.
"A contract...?"
"The immortal witch's only weakness is indeed 'love'."
He said this.
A pure-blooded witch, a 'fairy' who has reverted to her ancestral ways, is immortal against killings committed out of hostility, fear, chance, or nature—she can be resurrected regardless of her state, and her physical wounds are almost completely healed—but she is unable to exert her immortality when faced with killings committed out of love.
Mainst died for this reason.
For that pure-blooded witch, this was probably the 'happiest' way to die.
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu fell silent again without responding. Apart from her always helpless replies to the talkative and carefree Aozaki Aoko, she mostly remained silent and alone.
Listening to the boy's reflections, she suddenly had a very strange sense of déjà vu.
It was as if the person who met his mother and signed the contract was not his 'ancestor'.
Rather, it is the person himself.
Amidst this sentiment, the spontaneous sense of 'vicissitude' is all the more genuine—
Although it was fleeting.
Although it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, that sense of being out of step with the times only stood out more prominently and became particularly 'eye-catching' in Youzhu's eyes.
Out of step with the times...?
Youzhu lowered her eyes slightly and closed them.
...
"Qingzi, why are you dozing off in class again? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Haha, maybe?"
"What do you mean by 'possibly'? Don't you even know whether you slept well or not?"
"I really don't know..."
Private Misaki High School?.
A standard full-time higher education institution.
Just like the architectural scenes that appear in every Japanese fantasy work, after a morning of being in a daze, Aoko, who was sitting in the back row by the window, was suddenly awakened by a clear voice.
As she responded, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the petite girl standing in front of her, raising her hand in greeting: "Good morning, Jinlu."
"It's almost afternoon!"
Compared to her peers, the girl was far too slender and petite, and she said helplessly, with a very cute appearance but a decisive and domineering aura like a tiger in the palm of her hand: "I'm here to inform you to attend a meeting, Chairman Aozaki!"
The girl, whose real name is Kumanori Kinshika, is the student council secretary of Misaki City Private High School.
"Ah...oh!?"
Aoko then realized that she, who had recently entered her second year of high school, was now the student council president.
"You didn't go thieving last night, did you?"
Such a reaction left the girl known as Jinlu speechless and somewhat curious. Aoko, who was able to become the student council president, naturally had excellent grades. Although she seemed carefree in many ways, she was actually always reliable and rarely forgot to attend a meeting.
As Aoko got up and recalled what happened last night, she realized that she was lucky to be able to lie down, let alone sleep.
And besides Lu Kang who moved in.
The oranges that appeared and disappeared inexplicably also bothered Aoko.
"Yes, I went to steal."
Aoko shook her head and replied, "I went to steal from your house!"
Jiuwanli Jinlu: "..."
Even so, Aoko couldn't help but confide in her as they walked—only the 'mysterious' part was omitted, the battle was changed to a simple confrontation and self-proof, and the phantom that appeared at the end was changed to the letter she carried.
"That sounds..."
After hearing this, the younger girl's eyes lit up: "Why does this feel just like the plot on TV?"
How did it become a TV drama plot?
Aoko was baffled.
"Just imagine, a quiet and aloof young lady meets a boy from a foreign land carrying a letter from his mother, and the elders of her family have even made a promise—it's all so romantic!" Kuwan Rikako asked excitedly, "Is that boy you're talking about, Lu Kang, handsome?"
Aoko scratched her head. Although she didn't really want to admit it, the boy named Lu Kang was indeed impeccable in appearance.
At least Misaki City can't compare...
but.
"You said Youzhu is the female lead and Lu Kang is the male lead."
"Then what am I?"
"Of course it's the camera, President Aozaki!"
Kumanori Kinro answered without turning her head!
It's hard.
Aoko felt her fist harden!
Chapter 150 The Secret of Yuzhu and Lukang? A Magician's Basic Assignments
After finally finishing a busy day, Aozaki Aoko found herself standing in front of the Western-style courtyard of the Kuonji Mansion. Her back ached, and she regretted taking on the role of student council president for the umpteenth time. During the day, she had to study and serve the public, and at night she had to learn the most basic magic knowledge from Arisu and deal with unknown enemies from time to time. Aoko felt that she would not live much longer if this continued.
"Is the old man torturing me?!"
Aoko couldn't help but mutter to herself, taking a deep breath and instantly leaving all the day's fatigue outside the door.
She didn't want to be 'mocking' by Yuzhu's calm gaze...
A crunch.
The girl stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door a crack.
"I am back!"
As he said this, he received not even the calmest look in response.
Is Yuzhu not here?
Aoko was stunned, her expression full of surprise.
Although they were the same age, and although Aoko knew that Yuzu was also a registered student, and that the school she attended was even more prestigious than the private high school in Misaki City, a prestigious academy that was almost like a Western church academy, where only young ladies could attend, and even the school uniforms were like nuns' habit, she had rarely seen Yuzu go to school. This girl, who had been accompanied by mystery since childhood, was different from the most classical magician style that the old man had told Aoko through various anecdotes since she was a child, which was devoid of human emotions. However, she still followed the principles of mystery and adhered to the rule of 'secrecy'.
She rarely saw Yuju not at the mansion.
So this is...
"still there?"
Aoko took two steps back and saw two pairs of shoes in front of the door.
Not only those with pearls, but also that foreign boy named Lu Kang.
