It's a good thing that people who have achieved great success in some fields have a tenacity that doesn't admit defeat, but it's dangerous to become paranoid if the tenacity is excessive, and Zepia, who was just killed before dawn, is a typical example of this paranoia.

Aozaki Orange was also on the verge of paranoia, but fortunately, she recognized it in time and walked out of her own path, but Shion is still hovering at the crossroads of fate.

It may follow the development of Melty Blood to recognize his true heart, return to Atlas to research a way to dismantle vampirism, and become an alchemist of the end.

It is also possible to enter the branch of fate and become the successor of the "Night of Wallazia", the incarnation of the Dead Apostle who is even more terrible than Zepia, and the aforementioned "Sands of Osiris" is one of the possibilities of Shion, the final form of Shion who has not visited Japan and lives in the Atlas Temple.

Although the essence of the "Sands of Osiris" is a special existence that was manifested by the blood absorbed by Zepia after Zepia's death using the functions of "Tatali", and the blood itself was ingested into the magic bag by Shinji, the opportunity for Shion to recognize his true heart has been disturbed by the change of the timeline.

Originally, she would have found Shiki because of her search for Elquite, and formed a common front with Shiki to defeat the vampires. In the process of getting along, Shion was gradually moved by Shigui and found the sustenance of his soul, so he continued to insist on finding a way to restore himself to a human being after the incident.

But now, Elquit and Shiki have no intersection, and Shion's first love and transformation have ended before they have even begun, and they may really give up being a human being and become a vampire.

Shinji found Shion in the hope of avoiding this ending, but he didn't expect that his side hadn't leaned in this direction yet, and Orange had already made a guiding light first, and would use such a way to guide the way.

"The Fourth Magician?"

Shion quickly sorted out the information in his head.

Aoko Aosaki, the user of the fifth magic, is one of the four surviving magicians, known by alias such as "Miss blue", "Humanoid Rocket Launcher", and "Magic Gunner".

Take a look at these aliases. Except for the first title in the color evaluation of the clock tower, which represents the highest position of "Three Primary Colors Blue" (which is also the color of orange's dream), the other two are not very famous. In fact, like her sister Aozaki Orange, Aoko Aozaki is also a troublesome character, and there are problems that make the clock tower extremely headache.

When she was successful in studying magic, she went to the clock tower to register according to the custom, but because the registration procedures were too cumbersome, she directly gave up the registration and dragged her suitcase away, and came on a trip that was just about to go. Such a way will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some people, and it will inevitably cause trouble, but in the end all the trouble is settled by her, with her fists and magic bullets. The "humanoid rocket launcher" "Magic Gunner" was also obtained at that time.

Aoko Aosaki's talent as a magician is average, but she has an unparalleled talent in "destruction", and her most proud attack is to form a barrage with magic bullets, giving people a stormy blow, and it is not difficult to understand that she will get titles such as "rocket" and "Gunner".

"I remember she was Miss Orange, your ......"

"She's my sister, but I've broken up with my family and have a very bad relationship with her. If you can find her, don't mention my name, or she won't help you, she might beat you, and my sister is rude. ”

Even as a reminder, Orange still doesn't remember to ruin Aoko's reputation, even though the latter's reputation is bad enough.

"Thank you very much. Shion hurriedly bowed according to the Japanese understanding.

Orange waved his hand: "Don't thank me, I'm just telling you that the 'Fifth Magic' can reverse the process, but it doesn't mean that it will definitely be able to restore you to a human." Even if he could, that idiot wouldn't necessarily help you, and the last time that idiot used it, the destruction of the universe would be accelerated by it - heck, I don't know what a fool's face would be like when he heard such a request. ”

"Accelerating the Destruction of the Universe ......"

Seeing Shion's strange expression, combined with Orange's last words, Shinji finally determined that Orange was still the same orange, and there was no change of sex - she would not help others for free, and it seemed that helping for nothing must have her own purpose, such as causing trouble to Aoko.

"Ah, by the way, I don't know where that idiot is now, but I know her credit card company, and there must be a way to find her over there, otherwise the credit card company will have to bear all the bills and bills. ”

Since Orange was defeated by Aoko, she has often made trouble for Aoko, and the most used routine is to spend money lavishly and then put it under Aoko's name. Even with Shinji's "support", with Fujino to help manage the accounts and no longer financially constrained, Orange still spends money in Aoko's name from time to time, as if it would be uncomfortable not to do so.

This pair of sisters is really speechless.

Although there are many things that she doesn't understand, Shion still decides not to continue to investigate, as long as the hope is still there. The next thing is how to deal with the church and how to impress Aoko Aosaki.

As for the search for Aozaki Aoko, Shion is not worried. With "Aether Miori", she can easily read the memories in other people's minds, and as long as Aoko Aozaki doesn't stay in a coffin like Elquit, she can't escape her search.

Of course, that's all for later, and now—

"Mr. Makiri, let's continue with the conversation we just had. ”

"Well, actually, I want to give you some advice, do you still want to listen?"

"Of course. As Miss Orange said, the fifth magic doesn't necessarily solve my problem, more security is necessary. ”

"My train of thought is the same as yours, although Elquit said that reversal is impossible, but it is based on the perspective of the True Ancestor and not of humanity. Humanity has evolved from a species on the planet to now competing with the planet—"

At this, a grunt of displeasure broke out of Elquet's nose.

Shinji casually nodded her forehead and continued.

"Facts are facts, and whether they are right or wrong, they need to be acknowledged. The development of humanity is a miracle in itself, so you don't have to be discouraged even if Elquit thinks it's impossible. Besides, did the True Ancestor foresee at the beginning of his birth that the magician could be transformed into a Dead Apostle through a magic ritual without being sucked by a vampire? If I remember correctly, there were at least two of the 'Twenty-Seven Ancestors' who were transformed through a ritual and are still alive. ”

The two Dead Apostles mentioned here are Nero Kaos, the tenth "Chaos Swarm", and Kobek Alkatraz, the last "Millennium Lock".

"If humans can be transformed into Dead Apostles in this way, then it is not impossible to become human again. ”

"Hm...... I can't talk about you. Elquit turned his head angrily.
