"So, the morning thing is just to help you relieve the pressure, I'm afraid you're too nervous~aha~ahaha~"

"......" Youzhu quietly drank black tea, ignoring Karn, but the flush on his face could not be erased.

"So you sucked the blood of the beads?" Instead, Aoko gloated and talked to Karn, constantly provoking Youzhu.

"Aha~ Because I smell such a tempting smell when I wake up in the morning, I can't restrain it~" Karn scratched his head, and then his expression became serious: "That's right! How's your preparations? It's a big battle tonight! ”

"Your topic has shifted too obviously~"

"Hey, hey...... Oh! One more point! I'll help you all take leave~"

"Huh? Oh~" Qingzi responded, and Youzhu was also silent to acquiesce. And then......

““！” ”

Both of them were startled at the same time.

"You took a leave of absence for us?!!! With what identity? Aoko asked what Yuzhu also wanted to ask.

"Huh? Identity? Of course it's a boyfriend~"

Maximum Output Power !!! Aoko's wrist glowed blue.

Youzhu sat quietly, but a song came from nowhere, probably one of the mother goose nursery rhymes.

——————

"I'm back, Beo." The sound of oranges rang out in the empty house.

This is an abandoned building in the back mountain of Aoko's high school, and it used to be a school building or something.

Now this is the base of the oranges, the magic workshop.

"Oh~ Miss Orange."

It was a child who responded to Orange's words.

Whether it is from the dress or from the appearance, it looks very luxurious, and at first glance, you can tell that it is the child of a rich and noble family.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, coupled with fair skin, make people know at a glance that they are not Japanese, but should be the blood of Western countries.

Judging by his face alone, it was a boy.

"Did something happen to you?"

"Why do you ask?" Orange was a little confused.

"Hmm...... The taste is a little different, it started to be different when I came back the other day, but now it's a different taste. ”

"Yes...... The way you perceive emotions is taste......" Orange thought carefully. "The smell you smelled a few days ago should be the smell of happiness, and today it should be sad."

"Happy? Distress? Whatever the taste makes me a little ...... Anyway, I think it's annoying......"

"Huh? ......" Orange stared at Beo with interest for a few moments. "Huh...... I think it's jealousy~"

"Jealousy? How can it be? I'm perfect...... How can you be jealous? ”

"Huh...... It's normal to want something that others have but you don't have, until you understand...... You're no longer perfect. ”

"......" Beo was silent for a long time, ignored the orange, and continued to lie on the ground to rest, the whole person curled up in that posture, looking like a sleeping wolf.

"By the way, I'll go out tonight, please keep your house~"

"Get out? Or do you want to go and lay out here and there? Beo asked, a little impatiently.

"Can't wait? Two more days will do. Then you'll be ready to play. "Orange ...... Lied.

"......" Beo raised his brow slightly, but because he was curled up, he was not seen by the orange.

"So...... I'll go out~ I'll leave it to you at home. Orange said hello and walked out of the abandoned building.

Beowulf

It's a child's name.

Orange thought with some distress.

Beo was brought out of a cave in Northern Europe by Orange and is a werewolf.

However, this alone is not enough for the orange to bring it out.

Beo is an atavistic golden wolf that surpasses the existence of the most powerful silver wolf in the population.

It is a natural spirit, and it is an existence that is called a "fantasy species".

The body is made up of the materialization of the soul, so it can change its form at will, and in order not to attract attention, it is asked by the orange to change into a human form.

Beo's existence is the nemesis of all magicians, and its existence itself is a kind of mystery, and its mystery is by no means as simple as hundreds of years, and almost all magic tricks cannot affect Beo.

It may be said that Beo's very existence ...... It's magic.

Due to its specificity, it was ostracized in the village where it originally lived, and was later sold to Orange, and Beo also signed a demon contract with Orange because of Orange's words.

"I'll take you to fight the most powerful mysteries."

Located at the apex of nature, Beo's life can be said to be gloomy, nothing can arouse interest, nothing can make it fluctuate.

It can even be said that ...... It doesn't live at all, it just exists.

Therefore, the phrase orange piqued Beo's interest.

Of course, the so-called demon contract is just a piece of waste paper in front of Beo, and with Beo's mystery, it is easy to unilaterally break the demon contract, but there is no point in doing so, and for Beo, the most important thing is to make him feel interesting.

Therefore, I don't know if it was to regain his dignity or to make his grandfather regret it, and Orange, who longed for strength and wanted to destroy Aoko, cut off his long hair that he had kept for more than ten years without hesitation.

Hair is the source of magic, and the long hair that Orange spent on making a pact with Beo is undoubtedly extremely valuable.

——————

And yet now...... Orange regretted it.

Cause...... It's someone who suddenly disappears and then suddenly appears.

Karn can erase the magic of the Sorcerer of Sosaki, but that doesn't mean he can defeat Beo.

Because the nature of the two is not the same.

And if the magic didn't work, Karn still had great physical strength, but ......

Beo's body is the materialization of the soul, and it can transform into any shape, which is a natural enemy for those who rely on physical attacks.

There is no guarantee that Karn will be able to defeat Beo.

That's the problem.

The reason for bringing Beo out is "to fight the mystery with the strongest".

This so-called mystery refers to Aoko.

Aoko is the heir to Aosaki's magic, and in fact Aoko is now able to use magic, but it's just ...... Her consciousness was not enough.

She doesn't want to use magic at all, so she can only use magic by making Aoko grow in battle, or by endangering her and triggering her consciousness. Then Beo can come out and face off against Aoko.

When the time comes, it doesn't matter if the fantasy seed wins and kills Aoko or the magician wins and kills Orange and its demons, what Orange wants is to see, this magic that he doesn't know how long he has worked hard but has no chance, and Aoko can easily get it.

The so-called magicians are ruthless, and in order to reach the root cause, they can do whatever it takes, even if it is family affection.

However...... Strictly speaking, Orange is not a real magician.

Because there is a presence that is more important to her than the so-called roots.

It was precisely because of this that she couldn't let Aoko die, and she couldn't let Youzhu die, because that person didn't want that.

Orange hides from Beo, who is not going to let him go to war.

After the duel with Aoko, it's okay to say to Beo that he killed the magician or something, maybe that would cause Beo to kill himself, but it doesn't matter, although he is very unwilling, but the result is already very good.

——————

Merely......

Beo can know people's emotions, and lying is a thing that can naturally be distinguished, which is a point that the flustered orange ignores.

Therefore, Orange was unaware of Beo, who was curiously following quietly.
