Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Upon hearing this, Kuonji Yuju felt much less embarrassed and ashamed, and instead a rare smile appeared on her lips.

What could be more joyful than discovering, after falling on hard times, that your best friend has also fallen on hard times?

Orange, you truly are my best friend!

Where is Aoko?

"Miss Aoko is with the master."

Zhou Seiyu also got up.

"Please come with us, the master has been waiting for you for some time."

Kuonji Yuzu couldn't help but give Aozaki Touko a questioning look.

Aozaki Touko shook her head.

He indicated that he had absolutely no idea what had happened.

Her situation wasn't much better than Kuonji Yuju's. She was ambushed by Lin Jiu'an in the bathroom and was caught off guard, directly pulled into an infinite dream world. After seeing through and shattering more than a dozen dreams,

She was helplessly drawn into the dream.

Thinking of those dreams.

Aozaki Touko is just annoyance and shame.

What about the childhood sweetheart who grew up with you and is the only one who understands you; what about the older brother from your clan who takes such good care of you; what about the younger brother you dote on; what about the senior students and teachers you admired when you studied at the Clock Tower; what about...

Just thinking about the dark history she had exposed in there made Aozaki Touko desperately want to kill Lin Jiu'an.

"The only thing I can confirm is that not too much time has passed since I was taken into his control; I encountered him in the first half of the night."

"Although it's late at night, there are still several hours until dawn."

Kuonji Yuju nodded slightly.

Following Aozaki Touko obediently, they walked towards the depths of the carriage with Shuse Ritsuka and Shuse Yuika.

Now that they have been captured by Lin Jiu'an and have witnessed his immense strength, and all he has done so far is control over them using the Rose Demon Eye, they have done nothing else.

Why not have a proper talk with the other person?

Let's see what he's really up to.

—Kuonji Yuzu and Aozaki Touko knew that a significant part of their thoughts were influenced by their experiences in the dream, and that they had subconsciously developed some inappropriate feelings for Lin Jiu'an.

But life is like a woman being raped.

Since there's no way to resist, why not enjoy it?

Following the Zhou sisters, we passed through several carriages and arrived at a long corridor. Unlike the other carriages where passengers lived, this entire carriage only had one door in the middle of the corridor.

Two young and beautiful lower-ranking Death Apostles were standing at the entrance.

Come to that door.

Ritsuka Shuse simply reached out and opened the door, then went straight inside.

"You two, please."

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu exchanged a glance and followed them inside without hesitation. However, after seeing the scene inside, even though they had prepared themselves mentally, they were shocked.

But they were all stunned.

"Qingzi?"

Aozaki Aoko, who was engrossed in her work, suddenly trembled.

A look of shame appeared in his eyes.

Then she buried her head even lower, it was unclear whether she wanted to end this shameful life that she dared not show herself to anyone by suffocating herself, or whether she wanted to use this to disguise that she was not Aozaki Aoko.

Seeing that Aozaki Aoko not only did not answer, but instead lowered her head even further in self-deception, Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuju became even more astonished.

No.

How long have they been trapped in the eyes of the Rose Demon?

Even with the Rose Eyes, Aozaki Aoko shouldn't give in so quickly, right?

Judging from this, it's not something an old married couple could do.

Is it possible...

Did she betray us?

Let's talk about meeting again another time.

Lin Jiu'an smiled and patted Aozaki Aoko's head to comfort her.

Caught red-handed, Aozaki Aoko decided to throw caution to the wind, since this was shameful, but at least better than getting up and facing her directly.

Then Lin Jiu'an looked at Kuonji Yuzu and Aozaki Touko at the door.

It had only been a little over three hours since Aozaki Aoko surrendered, but three hours was more than enough time for him to make Aozaki Aoko completely submit.

"From now on, you'll work for me."

Lin Jiu'an's tone was calm, without any command, as if he were stating something that was bound to happen.

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu had both anticipated that the other might say that. After a moment of silence, Aozaki Touko's gaze fell on Aozaki Aoko, who was engrossed in her work.

He chuckled lightly and teased, "Work for you? How? Like her?"

Aoko Aozaki's face showed shame and anger, and she felt an extremely strong desire for Lin Jiu'an to defeat Aoko Aozaki and Yuzuya Kuonji as well.

Even though she had her head bowed so low.

There's no room to breathe.

Why does this guy always bring up topics that are hard to discuss, and even manage to steer the conversation back to himself?!

"That's up to you."

Seemingly sensing Aozaki Aoko's anger, Lin Jiu'an smiled and ruffled her hair again: "Whatever you want, I naturally won't mind."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you."

The image of Aozaki Touko in front of me is the version that appeared in the Mystic Eyes Collection Train, a complete mature woman.

Lin Jiu'an is quite sentimental.

But it's just sexual interest.

With so many women around, he doesn't intend to force Aozaki Touko if she really doesn't want to, since he's a collector of character illustrations, not a power-based player.

Isn't it normal for collectors to collect cards, then leave them gathering dust in their storage?

"but."

"Whether you want to be my woman or not is irrelevant, but once you're with me, you can't be with any other man."

As Lin Jiu'an spoke, he exerted a slight force with his right hand.

Accompanied by Aozaki Aoko's slightly painful sobs and seeing Lin Jiu'an's ambiguous smile, Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu both felt a chilling sense of danger.

"I agree."

Jiuyuanji Youzhu suddenly said.

As a witch burdened with a "curse," she never intended to have any men, so Lin Jiu'an's request was not a request at all to her.

They agreed upon seeing Kuonji Yuju.

Although Aozaki Touko was somewhat displeased with Lin Jiu'an's commanding attitude, the situation was overwhelming. She was in a very difficult position, not to mention Lin Jiu'an, even the combined forces of Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Yuzu, who had now sided with him, would be extremely troublesome.

"I agree."

"very good."

Lin Jiu'an smiled and snapped his fingers.

immediately.

Then black mud emerged from the shadows beneath his feet and spread toward Aozaki Aoko at his feet, as well as Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Aratsu at the door.

Aozaki Aoko did not struggle at all, and the black mud easily captured her.

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu's expressions changed.

Just wanted to speak.

"Don't worry, this is just a simple onboarding ceremony, an extra layer of insurance to help us trust each other more."

Hear the words.

Even if I was somewhat unwilling.

But looking at Rita, Gremory, Artoria, and Lin Jiu'an sitting there with his arms around him, and Aozaki Aoko kneeling before him, who were all staring at them menacingly.

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Aratsu still suppressed their palpitations and nausea.

They let the black mud spread upwards.

[Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully put "Aozaki Aoko" into the "Primary Fall" state, and have received the reward "Magic Circuit Optimization".]

[Magic Circuit Optimization: Significantly improves your magic circulation speed, durability, magic quality, and utilization rate.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Aozaki Aoko" into the "Intermediate Fall" state, and have received the reward "Magic Trait: 'Magic Release'".]

[Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully put "Aozaki Aoko" into the "Advanced Corruption" state, and have received the reward "Magic Circuit: Rotation".]

Although he is considered a genius by the world.

However, the quality and quantity of Aozaki Aoko's magic circuits are not actually that good.

The quality of the magic circuit is alright, reaching the level of "C"; but in terms of quantity, it seems to be a low-level "E" like a bloodline atavism.

Almost worse.

He was even able to sit at the same table as El-Melloi II for a meal.

However, its magic circuit's rotation speed, durability, magic quality, and utilization rate are all beyond the norm. Simply activating the magic circuit generates sound waves, and the speed at which magic power is generated is even faster than the flow rate of blood.

This makes it difficult to create complex magic formulas that require a lot of magic power due to the limited quality of its magic circuits, but it is extremely good at magic that only requires a simple flow of magic power.

Simply put.

If the utilization rate of a normal person's magic circuit is one percent, then chanting takes ten seconds.

The utilization rate of geniuses is five to ten percent, and chanting takes three seconds.

However, Aozaki Aoko has a 99% utilization rate of magic circuits, and almost all the magic she can use is instantaneous.

The reward given by Aozaki Aoko was also a change in this regard.

This greatly increased Lin Jiu'an's utilization rate of magic power, which was equivalent to increasing the quality and quantity of his magic circuits several times over, and also greatly increased the speed at which he could release magic.

and.

The "rotation" also significantly reduced the amount of magic power he consumed when releasing magic. Although releasing magic still caused some loss, combined with the previous bonuses, the amount of magic power consumed at the same power level was less than one percent of what it used to be.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Aozaki Touko" into the "Primary Fall" state. You have been awarded the "Accumulated Demon Eye".]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Kuonji Aratama" into the "Primary Fall" state. You have been awarded the "Accumulated Demon Eye".]

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Aratsu have the same type of Mystic Eyes.

The power is allure.

It will restrict the movement of objects within its field of vision.

However, the quality of Kuonji Aryu's Mystic Eye is higher than that of Aozaki Touko's Mystic Eye. And because they both received the same reward, the quality of the Mystic Eye that Lin Jiu'an obtained is higher than that of Kuonji Aryu.

A thought.

The black mud has faded away.

A bewitching seven-colored light appeared in Lin Jiu'an's right eye.

Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu were taken aback. They had a feeling that Lin Jiu'an's Mystic Eyes were very familiar to them, as if...

next second.

Feeling as if their bodies were sealed off by an invisible force, completely unable to move, Aozaki Touko and Kuonji Yuzu's expressions changed.

This ability?
