Sitting in the car to Liangyi's house, Hei Tonggan was silent.

The rain outside the window had stopped, but there was still a cold breath peeking in through the cracks in the slightly open windows.

Since three years ago, he has hated winter.

Because it's the season of lost style.

I can't help but think back to the last time I saw you before I fell into a coma.

"—I want to kill you."

The girl dressed in a single red said this, stabbing him in the throat with a dagger.

It was a merciless blow.

Even now, Kurokirigan understands this, if it weren't for the man who suddenly sprang out and kicked the flying style from the side, he would really die in Shiki's hands.

But—

Shiki, who was stopped, didn't attack him again after all, but chose to pounce on the brilliant headlights in front of him.

Even after all this time, he still felt an incomparable pain when he recalled that moment.

There can't be anything more—

To be able to transcend the sadness at that time, even when the formula suddenly disappeared, all Kurokirikan thought about was how to find it.

"Here we are."

The sound of Aozaki orange and the movement of the wheels coming to a halt pulled Kurokurikan back from his memories.

In front of it is the entrance to the Liangyi house.

Just like three years ago, the secluded road seemed to swallow up everyone who entered it, but the thought of this was a shiki's abode, and Kurokirigan had nothing to fear.

He walked forward after Miss Orange, thinking about what to say after meeting Shiki's parents for a while, and what to say after meeting Shiki, he began to get nervous again.

In the end, the words that I have thought of now have no meaning.

Because when the two ceremonies suddenly appeared in front of him, only his mind was blank.

Those were two people standing in a bamboo forest on the side of the road.

The dark night made it impossible to see the faces of the two of them, but the familiar voice of the girl kept drilling into her mind.

"When I was a teenager, I used to cut bamboo here to play." Shi seems to be introducing something to another person, "Because the things in the house are destroyed casually, and it doesn't matter how you cut them here, huh?" There are still traces here, but everything else has grown again......"

This is a weaving bar.

Listening to the cheerful voice, Kurokirigan also confirmed this in his heart.

"Someone's coming."

Accompanied by a thick male voice, a soft halo appeared out of thin air, and the gloomy environment brightened up in an instant.

And Kurokiran finally met that person.

Porcelain skin, deep dark eyes, and a neutral appearance have all changed, but the short hair that was messy to the shoulders has become a long and silky hair, which is simply tied up from the neck.

"Formula ......"

Kuroki could only spit out this one word in his throat.

"I'm weaving." The girl had a hearty smile on her face, "Long time no see, Kuroki Kanya." ”

"Long time no see."

Hei Tonggan also stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh fiercely in a place that others couldn't see, so that he could get out of that indescribable emotion.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, it is weaving in front of me.

If it's a formula, there's no way to behave like it normally anyway.

"You look like you've changed a lot." Ori's eyes glanced at Aozaki Orange on the side, and seemed to light up, "This, is this your lover?" ”

"No, it's my boss." Kuroki replied very dryly.

"That's it." Weaving seemed to be a little disappointed, and then wrapped his arms around Shen He and pulled him over, "This is me, no, it's a lover." ”

"......" Hei Tonggan did not speak.

I don't know if it's because this long-guessed thing has been confirmed and can't speak, or because of the powerlessness that has sprung up in my heart.

He had never expressed his affection for his friend named Two Rituals.

It is the indirect culprit of the two rituals that fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know what to say, especially in the face of the smiling faces of the two ceremonies, and I can't even say the blessings that should be said out of politeness.

"Your Excellency is from Huaxia?"

Aozaki Orange on the side lit a cigarette and walked out of the shadow of the halo.

“...... Shen River. Shen He stretched out his hand to her, a little surprised, "How did you guess?" ”

"Aozaki orange."

The woman in the orange coat shook hands with Shen He gently, and her palms were very powerful, not at all like women's hands except for the slender bones and soft skin.

"Because I lived in that country for a while, and although I was of the same race, I could still see a lot of differences." Cangqi Orange asked casually, "Although there are many exorcist families in Huaxia, there are none surnamed Shen, I don't know which one Your Excellency is?" ”

"I don't have a teacher." The corners of Shen He's mouth twitched slightly, "In the past, he was just an ordinary person. ”

careless, Shen He regretted it a little, he should have been prepared.

Although this world is not Artoria's world, it belongs to the same moon system after all.

This can be seen from the previous Holy Grail Wars.

Most of the magicians involved have their own inheritances and origins, after all, this is a world that inherits magic in the form of "magic marking", and magicians who have no origin are basically weak.

"Oh?"

The corners of Aosaki Orange's mouth hooked up with what seemed to be a gentle smile, but it made Kurokirigan, who was familiar with her, also feel a chill down her spine.

"In the past, it meant ordinary, which means that it is not ordinary now."

"That's right." Shen He was a little confused about her thoughts.

At this time, Aozaki Orange should have lived a life of incognito and self-depravity, and she also met Kurokurigan as an ordinary person, purely because of fate, and after the murder incident ended, she also left quietly.

Thinking about it this way, it shouldn't be too involved in the affairs between the two ceremonies and Kuroki Kanya.

"You know what's been going on in the city lately?" Aozaki Orange asked.

"You mean the murderous incident?" Shen He didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this.

"That's right." Aozaki Orange shrugged her shoulders, "This distressing silly boy in my company seems to be involved, but as far as he finds out, it seems to be related to the formula." ”

What Aozaki Orange thinks is actually very simple.

Even as a crown puppeteer, she can't see the depth of the person in front of her, if the other party doesn't want to say anything, it's not bad to test an event.

Moreover, it is a pity that she aggravated the tone of the word "distressed".

Is this going to come out for the black tung gan too?

Shen He thought about it for a while, and he also understood what the other party meant, after all, his behavior could already be regarded as snatching love.

In this case......

"Rheinharut."

Shen Hekou shouted the name inside.

A knight with an admirable demeanor appeared at his side in an instant, his fiery red hair and clear blue eyes made it difficult to take his eyes off his body, and his straight posture and upright gaze made people appreciate his cultivation and dignity like an ancient nobleman.

But such a young man knelt down on one knee with a sword.

"My lord."

Even such a humble act seems to be made by Rheinharut as if it were natural, and it will not make people look down on even the slightest.

During this time, he learned a lot from the books given to him by Shen He.

Although there are some things that he can not do as a knight, he is no longer confused, and he is full of confidence in saving his country.

Similarly, I am also grateful to Shen He, the master.

"In this city, there is a gangster who takes pleasure in killing." Shen He raised his hand and pointed in a direction slightly, "Bring him here, don't involve irrelevant people." ”

"Yes, my lord—"

Without asking for a reason, without asking for more, just following an absolute order, Rheinharut's figure disappeared silently.

Only Aozaki Orange can perceive the huge pressure brought by the other party.

There was unparalleled determination and confidence in that humble gaze, even the pressure she had only felt in her grandfather, who was the Fifth Magician.

- What an amazing person.

"Now that Your Excellency has made a decision, let's wait quietly for the good news." Aozaki sighed inwardly, looked at Ori again, and then prepared to leave.

However, Kurokuchigan did not move.

"It's a very rude request, though." He gritted his teeth and bowed violently, "I want to meet with Shiki." ”

"......" Shen He gently patted Ori's shoulder.

"What." Ori seemed to be a little unhappy, "I'm finally able to come out once now." ”

However, although she said so, she still switched her personality, but her mind disappeared slightly for a moment, and the temperament around her body changed.

Weaving went into a deep sleep, and now standing in front of everyone is Shiki.

"I'm out." Shi looked at Kuroki Kanya in front of him with a calm expression, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes!" Kurokiri's body trembled slightly, maintaining a bowing posture without raising it, "I'm sorry! ”

“...... That's what you're trying to say? There was a hint of muffiness in his voice.

Shen He, who was familiar with her, understood that this showed that she was a little unhappy now.

"Yes!" Kuroki didn't seem to notice it at all, "Three years ago, because of my ......"

"That's not your reason at all, it's just my own choice." Shi interrupted the other party's words rudely, and the corners of his mouth seemed to hook up a sneer, "Don't you understand?" As a murderer, I vainly try to get the warmth of ordinary people from you, which is a ridiculous thing. ”

Probably because Ori has returned.

In the present tense, I can probably experience some of the emotions of that time.

The will that can only be fulfilled by killing, and the will that does not want to abandon the warmth of ordinary people, the two keep killing each other.

But the stark contradictions of that time seem to be somewhat ridiculous now.

Ordinary people also have the warmth of ordinary people, she and Shen He fight and live together, neither have to be contradictory about their murderous tendencies, nor do they have to be lonely because they are far away from ordinary people, those "partners" are not the same kind of murderers, but they are also companions who are not ordinary but strive to enjoy the warmth of ordinary people.

Shen He's side is where she should be.

"But ......"

Kuroki also raised his head suddenly, as if he wanted to say something.

But Aozaki Orange's hand was on his shoulder.

"Let's go back."

It's a very simple sentence, but it suppresses the words of Kuroki Kanya in his mouth.

In the end, he could only turn around lonely, after taking a deep look at the two ceremonies.

The two men stood together, looking at their backs, and Kurokirigan also truly realized that the distance between him and Shikiki had become more distant than ever from this moment on.

"Silly boy." Aozaki Orange's palm is still placed on Kuroki Kanya's body, as if this can give him some comfort, "Once the forbidden valve is opened, there is no going back, the two ceremonies have completely abandoned their identity as an ordinary person, and now she is a person in a different world from you." ”

"......" Hei Tonggan did not speak.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of Aozaki's words, because in his opinion, the appearance of the style was not only not far away from ordinary people, but even closer.

Even the daunting coldness between the eyebrows dissipated a lot.

She's not a murderer at all.

Even the current Kurokuchigan is extremely convinced of this.

"Miss Orange." He stopped suddenly, "I want to go somewhere." ”

"Huh-" Aozaki Orange made a very helpless voice, but finally said, "Okay, I'll accompany you today, a lovelorn silly boy." ”

"Thank you." Hei Tonggan also showed a little gratitude.

Ever since he met Miss Orange by chance a year ago, the other party has taught him a lot.

Magic, ghosts, alchemy...... The truth of the world, which many ordinary people may never be able to touch, did not obsesse him, but made him feel that he was close to some of the world.

Eventually, under the guidance of Kuroki Kanya, the car came to an industrial area surrounded by the sea.

There is a wooden apartment that is almost in ruins.

"This is the result of your investigation during this time?" Aozaki Orange looked around, "It's indeed a place where inhuman things like to stay." ”

"Most of the victims who have recently died are related to a new drug, and this is where the seller of the new drug lives." Kurokirigan also recounted in a calm tone the results of his investigation at the risk of considerable risk.

"Even if I don't come along, you're going to explore this place yourself." Aozaki Orange lit a cigarette and inhaled it mixed with the damp and rotten breath.

This stupid subordinate has no talent for practicing magic at all, but he has a surprisingly sensitive approach to intelligence gathering, especially when it comes to finding people.

However, what he is involved in is becoming more and more dangerous.

Kurotongan didn't reply, pretending not to hear and stepped into the abandoned apartment, every room was locked, as if no one was here.

"This one."

Aozaki Orange went straight to the room in the corner of the second floor, stretched out her hand and easily broke the lock of the room.

Kurokiri's lips moved.

Forget it, now is not the time to care about such trivial matters.
