Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Decisive Back
Outside of Aoko's hospital room, even through the door, you can still smell the strong smell of blood and disinfectant mixed together, which makes people feel uncomfortable and want to vomit. The boy and the girl sat opposite each other, as if facing each other, and were silent for a long time.
"Whatever you want to know now, I'll tell you." There was a resoluteness in Youzhu's words, which I am afraid she herself did not realize.
"So, now, I'll be Miss Orange's target too?"
"Hmm." Youzhu nodded.
"If the two of us die."
"................................................" Kamiya was silent.
"You...... It's a magician. Youzhu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Kamiya was puzzled.
"There is a residual breath outside the mansion that does not belong to anyone present, magic." Youzhu looked at Kamitani.
"And with Orange's character, I don't think she'll let you go, so only you repelled her."
Youzhu looked at Shanggu quietly like this, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
"Tell me about the general situation first, from the time I was involved......" Ueya faced Yuzu's gaze, without the slightest compromise, and did not say the words "I'll help you" that Yuzhu might expect.
Youzhu nodded, and at the same time turned away from the realization of Kamitani.
"It happened not long before this, and there was a corner of the barrier set up in Misaki City that was eliminated by someone, and that was the beginning of the whole thing."
"This is the fifth time since Aoko became the heir that she has encountered an enemy who is plotting to seize Misaki City."
"This time the enemy did not fight us directly at the beginning, but began by seizing the land."
"Those people in the past didn't take us seriously, almost all of them attacked head-on, and the result was naturally cleaned up by us, which is nothing to say."
"There are two types of enchantments in the town, one is for discovering invaders, and the other is for the effective use of the power of the land."
"The enemy destroys the land's barriers, and if all the barriers are destroyed, then Aoko and I will lose ownership of the land, and thus become no different from those wandering magicians who don't have land."
"Of course, in order to prevent this from happening, the local area has also set up an enchantment to pull out the invaders, but there is no response."
"But now it seems to be a matter of course, because this time the enemy is oranges."
"Of course, Aosaki's enchantment doesn't see oranges of the same clan as enemies...... Or, the orange has found a shortcut around the barrier or a dead end in the structure. ”
"After all, the heir of the Aozaki family was originally her, so she should know this."
"And just like that, Orange began to wantonly destroy the fulcrum of the enchantment without us detecting it."
"The reason for wasting time to slowly carry out the destruction may be to make us mistakenly believe that the enemy is someone from the outside."
"Because if it happens too quickly, we will suspect that insiders did it."
“…… In short, we who were deceived by Orange's acting skills chose defense first. You want to ambush enemies who are investigating in the city in search of a fulcrum, and then destroy them directly. ”
"But one of those actions became a precursor to a chain of misfortunes."
"That's when you set a trap in Misaki's park, and you saw it."
"This ............" Kamiya still didn't understand what the big deal was.
"It's the top taboo in the world of magic."
"That is, to let an unrelated third party know that he is a magician."
"You know what happened after that."
"That's pretty much what happened before, but what's the situation now?"
"We lost." Youzhu said four words succinctly.
"Uh......" For the silent Youzhu to announce the defeat so directly, Kamiya still couldn't react a little.
"When all five fulcrums are destroyed, the outcome is decided. The ownership of the land will probably be handed over to Orange tomorrow. ”
"Then the Church Can ......"
"This Hetian Church is a branch of the Magic Society and the Templar Church." Youzhu said.
"The church helps us because we are local stewards. Once this right is lost, there is no reason for the church to continue to help. ”
"The priest here is a neutral person, so that's why he will help us, but Miss Weijia is the agent of the church, so as soon as Aoko recovers, I'm afraid I'll kick her out immediately...... After all, for the Church, magicians are enemies that should be eliminated immediately. ”
"Is Miss Orange that good? I can defeat you (neither of you _____ good girl) ......" Kamiya still doesn't believe it a little.
"Miss Orange tamed a golden human wolf, that is the mystery of the mythical era, beyond the magic beast, to reach the realm of the phantom beast, unless it is the magic that has accumulated thousands of years, it is completely unrivaled with him, but it is not an opponent that can be defeated by hand-to-hand combat."
"To deal with this kind of opponent who has entered the Sanctuary, it must be more powerful and mysterious - such as the accumulated time, the essence of magic, otherwise it will be neutralized......" Youzhu has been looking at Kamitani, and the implication is - how did you escape from Orange's hands?
"When you fought me, I didn't see Miss Orange with a golden wolf ......" Kamiya hesitated, but decided to say it.
Youzhu looked at him and motioned to continue.
"And I'm not a magician, but a friend gave me some props for self-defense."
"And ...... My senior said that there were blond children wandering around the old school building, and everyone was afraid of ghosts, so they stayed away from there......"
"Really?!" Youzhu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"But I'm not sure if that's a campus legend or if it's really a human wolf or something......
(If you want to re-establish the barrier...... There is a need for a hidden base where materials can be stored...... The old school building of Misaki High School...... It seems to fit this condition very well, and there are rumors of ghosts walking around...... There will be fewer people approaching there. Youzhu held her chin and thought.
"There are pearls...... "Ueya calls its name.
Youzhu stood up.
"Are you still going to be an enemy of Miss Orange?" Kamiya also stood up, he felt that to challenge the orange now would be a complete death.
"I will never give anything to anyone else."
"And ...... Thank you. With these words, Youzhu turned around and walked into Aoko's hospital room.
"Hey......" There was a decisive back in his mind, and Kamiya stayed on the spot.
"What the hell is this...... Why ......" Kamiya at the moment does not understand and cannot understand. After all, he and the magicians are people of two worlds.
