Purple returned to the cave where her grandfather lived.

He couldn't figure out what the orange stuffed into his mess for a long time, and he didn't have the patience to write instructions or anything like that before he left, so Purple simply left them all in his grandfather's workshop.

Aoko is still in school, because of Orange's opposition, Purple hasn't been home yet, and she hasn't seen Aoko, but after all, Aoko is still in a state of ignorance about the reason why Orange left home, and when Orange broke off relations with the Aozaki family, Purple asked Orange not to say the reason for the time being, and he didn't want to bother Aoko too soon.

Ignorance is a sin, but at the same time it may be happiness.

"Grandfather, you've come down steadily."

The hazy mist gathered, forming a vague figure.

The appearance was blurred, but it didn't add to the new trouble, grandfather had long since erased the emotions that belonged to humans, and the loss of symbols that distinguished people from each other was nothing more than a trivial matter for the old magician.

"Did you show up on an inopportune occasion to revise the fight that should have taken place?" The old man's voice was hoarse but powerful.

"Out of place? What is the basis for this judgment? ”

"There is no point in pursuing the process, the disruption of order has already occurred, but the direction of the destiny is very likely to change, and it is difficult to change, you have to be mentally prepared."

Grandfather's words were like admonitions, but they were not meant to be persuasive.

"Really? Aren't you the culprit grandfather, let Sister Orange learn magic but not Sister Qingzi, and then deprive Sister Orange of her inheritance rights and intensify the conflict, from the beginning it was your plan to promote their split, don't say anything inevitable and destined, if you can change the course, then they can maintain peaceful coexistence even if they can't avoid disputes. ”

Purple blamed her grandfather bitterly, but there was not a trace of anger in Purple's heart.

It's not worth being angry because of your grandfather, and your grandfather won't change because he's sympathetic to other anger.

"It has nothing to do with my intentions, if they live together, either of them can start a fight. However, there is a way to avoid conflict, and that possibility has disappeared, but I still see hope in you. Grandfather spoke in a defensive voice, but his voice indicated that he was only stating the facts.

"Hope? If it's my actions, then I can take them as encouragement, but you won't meddle in this matter other than the magic that is going to be passed on to Sister Aoko. ”

Purple casually played with the cards, without the slightest respect for the attitude of the person she was chatting with.

"After I disappeared from modern times, my affairs were over, and whatever happened after that was their own reason, and I couldn't intervene, but I did have to raise an heir, and that's what I had to do, and that's why my body hadn't disappeared yet." Grandfather replied truthfully.

"Then fulfill your obligations well, but before Sister Qingzi graduates from junior high school, let's let her have a good time, by the way, Sister Qingzi is not an easily restrained person, if she comes to inherit the Aozaki family, but does not stay in Misaki, will the future of this spiritual vein be managed by the Jiuyuan Temple family?"

Purple asked tentatively.

The Misaki managed by the Aosaki family is also one of the few lands with a crooked core spiritual vein, but Aoko's characteristics obviously determine that she will not stay in Misaki for a long time like her grandfather to supervise the enchantment covering the entire spiritual land, and even if Orange can take over in the future, maybe one day he will abandon it because of a sudden impulse, and as for Purple, he will not be bound by the enchantment, so in the state of his grandfather, who may die one day, the ownership of the enchantment is really worth worrying.

"Do you want it? It's just a simple thing to hand over to you, but you shouldn't look down on such crude things. ”

"Grandfather, you are too modest, the enchantment of the Cangzaki family is in the hands of the magic envoy, how can it not be said to be crude."

"I'm not wrong. The more you know, the more you realize that you are small, you know more than I do in some ways, but you don't know much more than I do. Talents that don't last are worthless, and talents that don't play out are worthless, so that's the end of the conversation with you, and you can come over at any time if you want the enchantment, but I probably won't show up then. ”

The scene in front of him began to change, and in the rising smoke, Zi's mind was also slightly dizzy, and after coming back to his senses, he was the only one left in the cave.

"Ah...... It's disappearing so fast. ”

With the purple feeling, he could only vaguely feel that his grandfather was still in the cave, but he couldn't find out the specific location.

This peculiar form of existence is also extremely rare, and there is no precedent for such a thing among the spirits and entities known to Purple.

But my grandfather seems to have simply ignored the word Kuenji.

Purple patted her forehead to make herself more sober.

Bringing up the whereabouts of the spiritual vein is not that Purple has a snoop on it, but if there is really no one to inherit the Cangzaki family, Purple would rather let it flow into the control of a more reassuring and closer magician, and the conditions for having beads are also very suitable.

However, re-raising the issue of the spiritual vein and the three sakis, Purple suddenly vaguely remembered a very important information, in addition to the handle and Aosaki, there should still be other families in the local area, although they are not first-class magicians, but strictly speaking, they are not the power of the church and ordinary people-

Wait, is it Tonoya?

Purple was shocked, revealing a look of surprise and remorse.

Remorse is due to waking up to the truth too late.

That's right, the Tono family's sphere of influence is indeed on the land of Misaki, but Murasaki's memories of the past have become more and more blurred with the passage of time, so it wasn't until I thought about the family's problems that I thought about it.

In addition, although the Tono family is a family with demon blood flowing in its body, it is not a pure human being, but because there is not much interaction with magicians, and the power does not come from magic, the Aozaki family has not paid much attention to the Tono family, but the Tono family later seems to have completely controlled the land of Misaki.

Purple still remembers that an extremely fierce battle broke out in Misaki later, but the Aozaki clan and Yuzu, who were supposed to be the regulators, never showed up at all, was there something wrong?

Purple's face gradually turned heavy.

It seems that we can't turn a blind eye to the Tono family.

But before that, it's better to visit Youzhu, since Sister Qingzi didn't see her in advance, then don't see her for the time being, if you meet, Sister Qingzi wants to know what's going on, and Zi will definitely not be able to hide it from her.

At least...... Let's make her have a better time this winter.

……

The iron door of the temple house is rusty, but it still looks like it is not defended against purple.

Just reach over and the iron door will open automatically.

The Western-style pavilion on the hill still stands there quietly, silent.

From the ancient city of Autumn to the vicinity of Shirainuzuka, Murasaki also vaguely heard some rumors, and with the progress of urbanization in the 80s, the strange stories of the Kuyuan temple house became richer.

So on the ramp, except for some car marks, Violet barely saw any signs of pedestrians passing by.

“…… It's still the same decoration. ”

Purple pushed the door open, then tilted her head.

Accurately dodged the impact of a blue bird.

"Chirp, the nasty imp is here again!"

The girl in black stood in the center of the main hall on the first floor, looking at the high window, her indifferent expression froze and remained unchanged, like a carefully carved sculpture, but the beauty of the delicate face was a miracle that mortal sculptors could not sculpt with all their life's work.

"I'm back, it seems like it's a little early, Soozaki-kun."

The sense of surprise and nostalgia was shallow in a short sentence, and the girl was surprised by her slightly active mood, but quickly calmed down.

"It's a bit of an unexpected delay, you must know about Sister Orange."

Zi took a deep breath, experienced the long-lost environment, and replied very casually.

"I'm a little surprised, but I won't interfere in your family's strife."

It's okay to be friends with Orange, but Youzhu is not willing to meddle in other people's affairs at will.

"It's okay, I'll fix it."

"Hmm."

After a brief conversation, Youzhu stood silently by the clock in the hall, seeing Purple as if it were air.

For ordinary people, this is quite Cheng dù's contempt and faux pas, but in Youzhu's body, this is the way she does not reject your expression.

The principle of non-interference with each other has been thoroughly implemented.

Purple shook her head with a smile and walked naturally to the living room.

PS: Mushroom said that the Kuenji house is where the Tono house is, but in fact, all kinds of inferences are self-contradictory, and they always eat the mushrooms of the book...... In this book, the location of the Tono Mansion is not set in the same place as the Kuenji House.
