Abnormal Moon

His body not only completely recovered from its unhealthy state, but even became very healthy.

He's grown taller, and his body is covered in well-proportioned muscles that don't make him look bulky, but rather streamlined, as if he were meticulously designed.

The previous frail feeling had completely disappeared, replaced by a strong and muscular young man. Being with him instantly gave me a sense of security.

Only his white hair and red eyes remained unchanged despite Roy's insistence.

With her help, Roy's progress in anatomy has been remarkable these past few days. He mastered the basics of Tiamat's various abilities in just a few days, and with continued experience, he should be able to use them with ease in a few months.

Thanks to this, his body underwent a complete transformation.

Not only did his physical abilities increase to the point of being monstrous, but his genetic defects were also completely corrected, making him no different from a real human. He even helped Ilya complete her transformation from an android to a human.

Aozaki Touko was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.

This is the boy she mentored back then.

It has now transformed into such a reliable form.

At that moment, her feelings were far more complicated than Aoko's before.

"Roy, do you know why I've been so devoted to you?"

Perhaps it was the moon, but Aozaki Touko felt a flutter in her heart and couldn't help but want to confess her feelings to Roy.

"why?"

"Because I'm not willing to accept it."

Aozaki Touko said with a deep, melancholy gaze.

“My grandfather originally intended for me to inherit magic. I have been working hard for this since I was a child. While Aoko could play with her friends and form a band, I could only stay in the deserted cave in the back mountain and learn magic from my grandfather.”

"But as you know, the magic was inherited by Aoko. This was Grandpa's instruction. Just one sentence easily overturned the goal I had worked so hard for since I was a child, and all my efforts were reduced to nothing..."

"Of course, I've long since let it go now. It's indeed best for Aoko to inherit that magic. I just need to live my own life well. However, I'm still a little unwilling."

Roy didn't interrupt.

He didn't ask Orange what made her so resentful.

Because then Orange herself said it.

"I want to create a monster that surpasses even a mage."

When Aozaki Touko finished speaking, she turned to look into Roy's eyes and smiled.

"When I saw you, I felt that you were the most suitable person for me."

Throughout Aozaki Touko's life, she has encountered many Mystic Eyes, some of which are even comparable to mythical ones, but she has never had such thoughts about them.

Until he met Roy.

The magic eye that controls all spells reminded her of the legendary Magic King.

She could see the enormous ambition hidden in Roy's heart.

She felt that Roy might be the monster she was looking for.

That's why it's become like this.

This is why Orange absolutely refuses to let Aoko steal the credit for "raising Roy," and one of the gambles she's taking is to help Roy break the curse at the cost of her own body.

Orange does not have romantic feelings for Roy.

She had only one expectation of Roy.

"Roy, if you want to repay me, go and conquer Aoko, make her admit defeat to me in person. That's my only expectation of you."

Aozaki Touko took off her glasses, revealing a cold smile on her face.

If it were before, Orange wouldn't know if Roy could surpass Aoko.

But now, she can say with certainty that Roy definitely can!

"...To be honest, I have mixed feelings."

Roy sighed, looking somewhat dejected.

"I actually hope you're helping me because of my personal charm, or because you've developed a vague crush on me or something... I guess I'm just too narcissistic."

"If you can beat Aoko, I'll probably fall in love with you."

Aozaki Touko smiled.

It's unclear whether he was joking or speaking seriously.

"Just you wait and see!"

Roy rolled up his sleeves, striking a pose brimming with enthusiasm.

"I won't let you down!"

Ten days passed quickly.

this day.

"Roy, take this with you!"

Rin Tohsaka returned from the city hall, triumphantly tossing the suitcase she was carrying on her shoulder in front of Roy.

Roy was wondering what was going on when he opened the box and was almost blinded by the golden light inside.

"You sold Fuyuki City?!"

The box was actually filled with gold and silver jewelry!

"how is this possible?"

Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes without any regard for her image, then laughed smugly.

"Didn't you destroy the Magic Association's branch? I had a construction crew dig it up three feet deep, and they unearthed a ton of treasure! Haha, we're rich now!"

Good guy!

The old guys have really struck gold!

You're absolutely amazing!

Roy accepted the treasure.

Not long after.

A leaf fell from the sky, drawing the words "Ready to Depart" in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a dark "door" opened in front of Roy.

That's a completely unknown new world.

Roy glanced back.

Apart from Aoko, whose whereabouts are unknown, Touko, Utaha, Hayasaka Ai, Ichika and Miku, Rin Tohsaka and Illya all gathered in this courtyard.

"I'm leaving!"

"be careful."

Aozaki Touko nodded and gave her instructions.

Roy waved his hand and, under the watchful eyes of the women, stepped into the dark doorway.

"But then again, have I forgotten something?"

at the same time.

On the outside of the world.

A figure was pacing around anxiously, searching for something.

"Master! Master, where are you! Damn it, it's all my fault... Master, don't worry, if I can't find you, I, Taigong Wang, will never go back in this lifetime!"

There's a lot of Joan of Arc at the end of this volume; this chapter is almost three thousand words long. I had a long journey home today, so it's a bit late.

Chapter 145 Asterisk War

In the sweltering summer, the blazing sun hangs high in the sky, releasing light and heat onto the ground, casting swaying rays of sunlight across the asphalt surface.

That being said, walking through the passageway didn't feel particularly hot. A slightly salty sea breeze swept in from every corner of the city, dispelling some of the summer heat.

The walkway is flanked by lush green protective forests, and the songs of birds can be heard all the time.

It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful and abundant landscape is not a natural phenomenon, but rather a man-made island.

However, this place is the famous artificial island—the academic and war city of Asterisk.

Commonly known as the Hexagram City.

Also known as Rokka.

A white-haired, red-eyed boy was strolling along a wide, smooth passageway that allowed dozens of people to walk side by side.

He kept turning his head to look around at the scenery, as if he were visiting this artificial island for the first time, his face full of interest.

The boy's features were like a meticulously designed work of art, possessing a charm that transcended gender. His steps were leisurely, his demeanor casual, and his whole being exuded an atmosphere of contentment. The black-rimmed glasses on his face and the habitual faint smile at the corner of his mouth added a touch of gentleness to his appearance. At first glance, he was a gentle and handsome boy who was easy to like.
