To be king and magician

For Aoko Aozaki, returning to Misaki City is not an easy task, because there are too many interesting things that will happen during the trip, even if she has the idea of ​​going back to Misaki City, she will soon because of the sudden forget about what happened.

Since leaving Misaki City after graduating from high school, she has come back only once a year on average. The last time she came back was around the end of July last year, because she heard something about her awkward sister during the trip. In addition, I happened to be in Southeast Asia, so I came back by the way.

"Well, anyway, let's go back and see Youzhu and Jingxi first."

Kuonji Yuzu and Shizuki Sojuro.

In Aoko Aozaki's not-too-wide circle of friends, they are the two closest friends to her. The battle with Aoki Touko in high school and the experience before that made the three of them still maintain their relationship. With a friendly relationship.

After all, it's a matter of life and death.

The mansion of Kuonji was located on a hill in Misaki City more than ten years ago. Although it can't be said to be far away from the city, it can't be said to be very close, and it maintains a sense of separation from the city.

And in the past ten years, because of the continuous development of Misaki City, that hill was finally included in the development zone. Aoko Aozaki still remembers the extremely angry look when Yuju heard that the neighborhood around his home was going to be developed.

Fortunately, in the end, I found a way to avoid this, but as a price, that area was directly regarded as a hill of ghosts with evil spirits lurking, and occasionally some naughty students would go there to test their courage at night General Assembly.

Walking through the very familiar road, and came to the familiar door, Aoqi Qingzi directly pushed open the half-closed door, and the moment she stepped into the courtyard, she saw a person busy in the courtyard .

"Yo! Jingxi! I'm back!"

"Aozaki?"

The man who was cleaning the garden when his name was called——Shizuki Sojuro— subconsciously looked in the direction of Aozaki Aoko.And looking at the dull expression that hasn't changed in the past ten years, Cang Qi Qingzi couldn't help joking: "You don't seem happy at all when I come back?"

"No, I'm very happy."

"Then you have some changes in your eyes and expression. I can't see that you are happy at all."

That's what I said, but Aozaki Aoko knew it. Since Shizuki Sojuro said that he felt very happy, then he was really happy. He is such a person who can honestly express his inner feelings.

Although it's completely invisible from the face.

"Is there any pearl?"

"at home."

"Then I'll go to Youzhu first, you can keep busy."

Seeing Aozaki Aoko dragging his suitcase into the mansion in a hurry, the corner of Shizuki Sojuro's mouth raised an almost invisible arc.

"Yeah. Welcome back, Aozaki."

——————————————————————————————

Inside the Kuonji mansion.

Going straight to the living room, looking at the black witch sitting on the sofa quietly reading the magic book, Aozaki Aoko couldn't help laughing and said, "Youzhu, I'm back."

"Ok, I know."

Gently closing the book, Kuonji Yuzu looked at his friend.

"I came back a little earlier this time, earlier than before."

"Because I heard some things during the trip, and it was related to Misaki City. I thought that Yuzu might need help, so I came back quickly." Aozaki Aoko said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Kuonji Yuzu sighed slightly: "I don't need your help, what's more, in the current Misaki City, even if I encounter difficulties, there are more suitable people than you who can help me."

"Eh? Really? Who?"

"orange."

An unexpected name immediately froze the curious expression on Aozaki Aoko's face.

orange! ?

My sister! ?

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Just 5 minutes before you came back, Song of Sixpence saw her at Beikou Station."

Isn't that just the bus before him?

(That is to say, if I didn’t eat that bowl of noodles more, I would take the same bus back with Cheng Zi?)

Thinking of this, Aozaki Qingzi suddenly felt a sense of relaxation for the rest of his life.

Make a train with Aozaki Orange?Just being in the same environment as her, Aoko Aozaki felt uncomfortable all over. Even if ten years had passed, it stands to reason that the sisterly feud between the two of them would fade away, but Aoko Aozaki dared to guarantee that if I can't help but meet her.

"Cheng Zi actually returned to Misaki City... That's right, the time limit for the curse I put on her has long passed, and it's not impossible for her to come back."

【Once you set foot on the land of Misaki City, you will turn into a Madagascar colorful frog】—Ten years ago, after defeating Touko Aozaki, and borrowing her own power ten years later, Aoko Aozaki cast such a curse on her .

"Then, why did Cheng Zi come back? Could it be that he wants to come back to take revenge?"

"Yeah." Kuonji Yuzu nodded and said, "She has already taken the person with her to the Golden Wolf, and according to the information obtained by Song of Sixpence, it seems that she intends to challenge magic again, and... .It seems to be well prepared."

"Then let her come!"

Aoko Aozaki smiled confidently.

"I was able to defeat her more than ten years ago, and I can do the same now. It's just an orange, and she will be knocked down in two or three hits!"

This is not Ao Qi Aoko's arrogance, but the self-confidence after clearly understanding the gap between herself and Cheng Zi.

Over the past ten years, Aozaki Aoko has also learned what kind of magician her sister is—a crown puppeteer, a genius magician who revived the foundation of rune magic.In the field of magicians, she is considered superb.But even so, she couldn't touch the realm of magic, and her combat power was even weaker.

As for Aozaki Aoko's attitude, Kuonji Yuzu responded calmly.Anyway, Canozaki Chengzi's target is Aozaki Aoko, and it has nothing to do with her, as long as the fight between the two doesn't affect her side.

"Aren't you going to put your luggage away?"

Yuju of Kuonji asked.

"Are you going to stay tonight? Your room is still there, remember to clean it yourself."

"Ah? I can't stay?" Aoko Aozaki shook his head, "I just came back to see you, and then I will go out and find a hotel to stay. If I stay here, it will disturb you and Jingxi, right? I It’s embarrassing not to be a light bulb.”

When saying this, Aozaki Aoko's eyes fell on the ring fingers of Kuonji Yuzu's hands, and then he couldn't help but chuckled: "But, it's been seven years, right? I haven't given you a ring yet , did he-"

"Qingzi!"

"Hee hee hee!"

11. Roof parkour

At night, on the streets of Misaki City.

Aoko Aozaki was taking a walk after dinner.

Although he goes back to Misaki City every year, in Aoko Aozaki’s view, the speed of change in Misaki City is still quite rapid. Every time he comes back, he can find that some places are different from what he remembers. When he came back the year before last, he almost disappeared. Find the way to the Kuonji mansion.

This is a good thing—at least for Aoko Aozaki, she is a person who likes new things and interesting things, otherwise she would not travel all over the world. If Misaki City has not changed, she has not. Back to thinking about it.

Of course, at present, another reason for coming back is to see the progress of the relationship between Uzu and Sojuro.

Seven years ago, it seemed that he was instigated by a few bad friends, Shizuki Sojuro himself confessed to Youzhu on Christmas Eve in a somewhat confused manner.Because of Aozaki Aoko's departure, Kuonji Yuzu and Shizuki Sojuro are almost living together in the mansion, and the relationship between the two has somewhat germinated.

And because of that forced confession, the relationship between the two developed in that direction.

But unfortunately, both men and women are almost ignorant of feelings. It can even be said to be a combination of stone and ice sculptures. Seven years have passed and there is still no sound at all. I have to hurry when I come back.

"But...youju and jingxi are like that, shouldn't it be time for me to think about myself?"

Normally, this should be something that puberty teenagers would think about, but Aozaki Aoko's puberty was all spent on magic and magic practice, as well as traveling around the world, causing her to be 27 years old this year Just started thinking about it.

(But even if I say that, I don't want to look for it at all. The feeling of a boyfriend will make me very tired, and I probably can't find anyone who can ask me...)

"If only I could pick one up on the side of the road like novels and comics."

Thinking about it with your feet, you know that this is impossible. If it really happened, Aoko Aozaki would rather use his luck to buy lottery tickets or explore the ruins to pick up treasures.

So Aozaki Aoko was just complaining.

"Shuh--!"

However, just when Canozaki Aoko was thinking this way, a blue shooting star suddenly passed by under the black night.

No, it wasn't a shooting star, but a flame of magical power being dragged out.Because Aozaki Aoko often sees this phenomenon herself, she is very familiar with it.

The flame rose from the roof on the left, and landed on the roof on the right after an arc.

(This situation... is similar to mine?)

Strengthen the body through magic, and then use inhuman physical ability to move at high speed.

Aozaki Aoko often does this herself, but this is the first time she has seen anyone who would do it besides herself.

Seems interesting?

Aoko Aozaki, whose playfulness was aroused in an instant, immediately hid in an alley on one side, stepped on the wall after a few steps to the roof after a few steps of the strengthened body, and then——

"boom--------!"

Accompanied by the tremor of the atmosphere, Aozaki Aoko, whose body was instantly enveloped in a faint flame, sprinted directly towards the meteor!

The second meteor flies across the night sky of Misaki City at high speed!

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

"Teacher Cheng Zi is really serious. She actually told me to come to her within 10 minutes."

Meteor—Xia Chuanhu complained as he moved quickly on the roof.

"Does she know how far the airport is from here? I came here directly from the outskirts. If I didn't travel fast enough, I would definitely not be able to catch up."

A few minutes ago, Xia Chuanhu, who had just got off the plane, received a call from Cang Qi Chengzi at the airport, asking him to come to Misaki City to meet her within 10 minutes, and then go to Cang Qi Qingzi to "settle the account".Ao Qicheng's voice sounded a little excited because finally he could avenge himself with one arrow.

In Xia Chuanhu's arms, Gray smiled while pressing her hat against the wind: "I think Miss Chengzi asked for that because she knew about my brother's footsteps. .”

[That's the so-called knowing the bottom line of my little brother's abilities. I said little brother, why don't you surprise her by going faster? 】

"Think about Gray, okay, Yad."

If it was only Xia Chuanhu himself, then he must have gone straight ahead at full speed. How could he only jump over one roof at a time like now? Two or three roofs are fine, okay?Not to mention that this is the result of his not using enhanced magic seriously.

【Ah, little brother, something unusual happened】

"Huh? What's the situation?"

【Someone is following us】

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help being stunned by Yade's report—someone is following him?Follow yourself at this speed?

"magician?"
