Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Araya Souren, this man, is like the concept of hell itself, taking on a form after it has developed its own will—

"Shirou who went astray—that's pretty much the feeling of Araya, so I quite like him."

Orange grinned mischievously, earning a disapproving glare from the boy.

“Araya Sōren has tried several times to open the path to the Root, but has failed each time due to the obstruction of the suppressive force.”

It is precisely to avoid interference from the suppressive force that he chose to remain behind the scenes this time.

"Sorry, Sister Orange, I don't understand what you're saying."

Shirou asked, "Why are we bringing up the root? Is there any necessary connection between Ogawa's apartment and reaching the root?"

“Araya Souren possesses a special ability that even I cannot match.”

Orange said, "He can see the 'origins' of humanity."

The guy who could see the "origins" of humanity was expelled from his master's sect for pursuing the rudiments of the soul...

Now that things have come to this, Shirou, you know what I mean.

Shirou was taken aback, and his expression turned serious.

"Alright, that's all the help I can offer. Now it's up to you young people."

Aozaki Touko sat on the bed and took off the coat she wore when receiving guests: "Shirou, my medicine."

Shirou absentmindedly carried the water glass and cold and fever medicine to the bedside, muttering to himself:

"Is that so... I see... Tsk, I should have realized it sooner. The man you mentioned was probably hiding in the apartment—"

No, he is the apartment itself.

The red-haired boy frowned and said, "It takes an hour to get to the apartment from here by motorcycle. It's too late to get there now."

Sister Orange, take me to Xiaochuan's apartment, using that magic trick you invented—"

"…………"

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Touko frowned.

"Orange Travel".

That was a flying magic trick invented by Touko Aozaki, which is famous in the magic world.

Set the flight destination in advance, and then make the procedure work like stretching a rubber band for an extremely long distance.

After all, there is a spell that continuously draws the magic from the destination. Regardless of whether one enters a hallucinatory state or not, as long as the magic power remains stable, the mission will indeed be successful.

"Are you crazy? Using that move in the city will get me spotted by the association's spies... Waaah!"

Okay, okay, stop looking at me like that puppy. I know, I'll agree, alright?

Aozaki Touko sighed helplessly.

"Thank you, Orange Sister," Shirou said happily.

Seeing his genuine smile, Orange's cheeks inexplicably flushed.

She suddenly realized that although Shirou seemed like a harmless herbivore, he was actually at the "Grand" level in terms of potential to become a scumbag.

This ability to subtly make women submit to one's will is truly terrifying.

"Let's go then, to the rooftop... Oh, right, take your medicine first."

Shirou offered the water glass and capsule to Orange for the third time, but she still didn't take them.

Aozaki Touko raised an eyebrow and suddenly said.

“I heard Qingzi brag before that you once fed her medicine mouth-to-mouth.”

"That is……"

The puppeteer revealed a bewitching smile that was neither a smile nor a smile: "How wonderful, I wish I could have the same thing done to me—"

I've been looking forward to the day when a cute boy would treat me like this.

Shirou frowned.

If Orange weren't a patient, he would love to pry open her mouth right now and throw the water and medicine in together.

"Stop fooling around, Sister Orange."

"Stop fooling around, hurry up and do it... Does it matter how the method is?"

Shirou was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I do as you say, will you take me to Ogawa's apartment?"

Orange nodded with a somewhat expectant expression and said, "Yes, I will never break my promise."

"........."

Shirou lifted Orange's chin.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds.

"………………Just kidding, you're not serious, are you, Shirou? I'm going to tell Aoko and Arisa on this."

Orange grinned mischievously as she took the water glass from the boy and drank it down in one gulp, mixing it with her medication.

"Let's go, let's go to the rooftop."

"oh oh……"

Shirou paused for a moment, then looked away from the orange's lips, which had become moist and alluring after being soaked in water.

Leaving their living space on the fourth floor, the two went up to the rooftop on the sixth floor.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Shirou said.

"It's just a little magic trick."

Aozaki Touko set up the spell on the rooftop and had Shirou stand at the designated spot.

Then, she came up behind the boy and placed her hands on his back.

"Are you ready?" she said in a gentle tone.

The boy nodded and said, "It's all settled now."

"...Shirou."

"what happened?"

Upon hearing the call, Shirou instinctively turned around, and it was at that moment that Touko suddenly kissed him.

"This is also part of the flight technique, so don't move around."

The puppeteer murmured as she wrapped her arms around the boy's waist, pressing her voluptuous body even more passionately against his.

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

Volume 3, Chapter 161: There will never be another best friend like Shiki and Fujino.

The two remained pressed together for about ten seconds.

Because he had been told that this was also part of the flight technique, Shirou dared not act rashly.

Taking advantage of her status as a patient, Aozaki Touko became even more presumptuous, and even...

It was as if she was greedily taking advantage of the boy, and this continued for about ten seconds.

The two sisters from the Aozaki family are completely different in this respect.

Aoko was very passive and shy when kissing Shirou, which was completely opposite to her usual personality.

But once the switch is turned on, the magician becomes incredibly passionate and unrestrained.

Orange, on the other hand, is clearly the dominant and proactive party, launching aggressive attacks.

On the other hand, as long as the other person takes the initiative slightly, the previous imposing manner will disappear, and she will become as gentle and lovely as a lover who is being affectionate.

"...?"

The Grand Puppeteer was finally satisfied and released his shoulder with a dazed expression.

"Hehe, thank you for the treat. I'm satisfied now, and I can finally get a good night's sleep."

"This is beyond the scope of the spell, isn't it?"

Shirou blushed as he wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and complained unhappily.

Orange winked seductively at Shirou, then grinned mischievously: "Shirou is clearly quite satisfied, isn't he?"

"No," the boy muttered.

"Alright, let's get ready to go, Shirou."

Aozaki Touko takes off her glasses and switches back to her serious personality.

"If you weren't satisfied just now, let's wait until Shirou defeats the evil magician and comes back, then I'll keep you company."

"I won't do it with you."

Orange said this while writing runes on Shirou's back with her finger.

"This time, the enemy's Araya Sōren's target is probably Ryougi Shiki—"

"Right now, Shiki might have already run into him... If that's the case, Shirou, you also bear some responsibility, don't you think?"

"Huh? Why?" Shirou asked.

Orange said in an icy tone, "Why did you keep Fujino's matter from me?"

If you had told me sooner, I might have discovered the shady dealings behind all these events.

Shirou paused for a moment: "Ah, you know about Fujino."

"It would be strange if I hadn't heard anything about such a big incident—"

Although you have covered up this incident on a social level, do you think I have been a magician for many years?

They still have their own internal information channels.

Orange said calmly, "After all, those five youths had their arms and legs broken by Fujino... It's really lucky they survived."

……

……

Several nights ago.

"Aa ...

The screams of the men echoed through the alley.

Under Fujino's gaze, the human arm rotated on its own, its joints twisting.

Twist your elbow to nearly ninety degrees, then turn it forward—

With a horrifying "crack" sound, broken bones pierced through the skin, spraying blood all over the ground.

"Aaaaaaah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The men knelt on the ground, crying and screaming. Faced with an incomprehensible and absolute power, they lost the will to resist.

Asagami Fujino stared coldly at the men who were begging for mercy.

"Why lie? You're based on knowledge, right?"

"Yes, yes! We know each other! Don't kill me! Eee ...

"See? We do know each other."

Bathed in the moonlight streaming into the alley, Asagami Fujino revealed an incredibly alluring expression.

"You're already an adult, yet you still lie. That's outrageous... You need to be punished more severely."

"No, no, no! Don't kill us!"

The men pleaded desperately, but Fujino, who was in a state of arousal, could no longer hear them.

Even the girl herself probably didn't realize that she was smiling.

That smile was too beautiful, too dangerous; it was the expression only a murderer immersed in killing could possess.

From the age of four or five to seventeen, for more than ten years of her life, Fujino was robbed of her sense of pain.
