Abnormal Moon

"This is a pure Starfire weapon, and its power is far superior to that of ordinary Starfire weapons."

Roy gave a brief explanation before channeling his magic into the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

With a hum, a red flash was released from the All-Encompassing Crystal, followed by a pure white light blade extending from the initiator, transforming into a demonic sword capable of cutting through everything.

Yes, it works.

The Black Furnace Demon Sword continuously transmitted shock and curiosity to Roy. Having suddenly arrived in a completely different world, Roy was utterly stunned by the situation before him.

"Orange, has anything happened at home lately?"

Roy turned his head and his gaze fell on Orange.

He lifted Chengzi up by the waist and gently placed her on the bed, then propped himself up on his arms, looking down at her.

"It's so calm that I wonder if you're being overly anxious by having me stay."

Orange smiled gently, a blush rising on her face, influenced by the ambiguous atmosphere.

Before leaving, Roy specifically asked Orange to stay at the manor for a few more days so that she could protect this family of women who were almost powerless to defend themselves. For this purpose, he also gave her the Primal Rune he had obtained from Cú Chulainn.

"Being okay is better than anything else."

Roy nodded as he took a piece of clothing out of the imaginary pocket.

At the same time, he whispered seductively in her ear.

"Orange, put this on."

Aozaki Touko glanced at the thing, and her expression immediately turned strange.

That was actually a pair of red stockings?

Moreover, the design is far too improper!

"I think this is a perfect match for you!"

"Is this a special gift just for me?"

Aozaki Touko rolled her eyes and nudged his chest.

"If you don't get up, how am I supposed to get dressed?"

Roy grinned and stood up to make way for him.

Once Orange had threaded the red ribbon onto her clothes, he pounced on her like a wolf that had been waiting for a long time.

Pleasant singing soon filled the room.

"That's enough, I really can't take it anymore. Why don't you go find someone else? If this keeps up, you'll ruin my body sooner or later..."

In the middle of the night, the sounds of a woman's exhausted resistance could be heard from inside the house.

This kid actually used Tiamat's abilities for this!

Isn't he afraid that Tiamat will find out about this and kill him in the wrath of the Creator Goddess?

"It's okay, you can do it. I'll modify your body..."

Roy grabbed Aozaki Touko's hand as she pushed him, channeling his magic into her body to help her quickly recover her strength and enhance her physical abilities, even her internal organ functions.

The stirring singing didn't gradually fade away until the early hours of the morning.

The room was in a mess.

Aozaki Touko lay in Roy's arms, too tired to move a single finger.

Have you changed a lot lately?

She tilted her snow-white neck and gazed at Roy, a look of inquiry appearing in her eyes, which still held a hint of spring.

Chapter 285 Comparison of Good and Evil

"No, I shouldn't say recently. I should say that you went out and have changed a lot since then."

Aozaki Touko thought for a moment and slightly modified the description.

Roy is now a far cry from what he used to be.

Orange had watched Roy grow up almost all the way, from when he first came to Fuyuki City to when he became the pioneer chosen by the Root. She had witnessed his journey firsthand, and all the changes over the years were as clear to her as a straight line.

"There have been big changes, haven't there?"

Roy lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Has he really changed that much?

Of course, the changes are huge compared to before. Not to mention when he was with Jiemon, even when he first came to Fuyuki City, his mentality was completely different from now. Soon after, he split his personality into two parts.

But as for whether his mindset had changed after going to the world of the Academy City, he didn't feel anything at all.

"Have I really changed? So much that you could tell so quickly?"

"How long do you think I've been with you?"

Seeing Roy's surprised question, Aozaki Touko laughed dismissively.

"Your changes can't escape my notice. To be specific, you've become much more cheerful. Before, although you smiled, that smile just made me feel cold."

The Roy of the past, specifically the Roy who was preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War, had already split his personality, but even the side that was friendly to people on the surface was just for show, quite superficial. His friendliness towards people was like a mirage, something that could not be seen or touched.

At that time, Roy was smiling, but it was just a magic trick he used to hypnotize others. Aozaki Touko, who knew him well, could only see the savageness hidden in his heart through that smile; there was no warmth to be found.

However, Roy is a little different now.

His smile now made Aozaki Touko feel much more cheerful, no longer feeling the coldness he used to have.

The friendly demeanor I have now is like a genuine smile radiating kindness from the bottom of my heart, no longer as fake as before.

"Is that so...? Then it's probably due to a change in environment. After all, there are no magicians in that world."

After Orange said that, Roy also felt that he had indeed changed a lot.

I feel much more relaxed in the learning city than here.

However, he didn't think it was anything special, assuming it was just due to the influence of the environment. After all, he hated magicians from the bottom of his heart, and it was naturally easier to let go of his gloom in a place without magicians.

"maybe."

Orange also thinks this statement might be correct.

She thought about it and concluded that it was ultimately a good thing.

Roy was never really part of the magic world; in fact, they were like parallel lines. The fact that he was gradually breaking free from the influence of the past, instead of dwelling on it, and moving towards the future, was something Orange was happy to see.

After all, being unable to escape the entanglements of the past is something that Orange herself is most powerless to change.

"Speaking of which, Orange, I also have something I want to ask you."

Roy gently stroked the smooth, white, bare back in his arms, a deep look appearing in his eyes.

“When I was in that other world, someone said I relied too much on the little gestures of splitting my personality, and suggested that I throw away my glasses and reunite the two sides of my personality…”

He told Chengzi everything that Fan Xinglu had warned him about.

“There are wise people over there too, and that person is right.”

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Orange nodded readily.

“I wanted to tell you this before, but at that time the darkness in your heart was too heavy. If I didn’t suppress it in this way, I don’t know what you would do. That’s why I didn’t point it out.”

Orange, as a pioneer of this method, had long ago discovered Roy's past dependence on the split personality.

She was using this technique, while Roy was relying on it.

The two methods of use are completely different.

Fan Xinglu's statement is entirely correct.

"what about now?"

"I can tell you now that there shouldn't be any problems... but as for reintegrating the personalities, although there are some risks, it's not impossible."

Aozaki Touko pondered for a moment before giving a cautious answer.

Mental magic, regardless of its type or level, carries varying degrees of risk. There is no such thing as risk-free mental magic. Even hypnosis can potentially turn someone into an idiot, though the probability is slightly lower.

But Orange felt that Roy was no longer the same Roy as before, and it was possible to try to integrate his divided personality.

Previously, his moral compass was 0.1:9.9. If he were to force a fusion, he would likely be doomed. However, he has changed a lot now, and the ratio of good to evil has increased significantly, naturally reducing the risk. Theoretically speaking, the best time for fusion is when the two personalities achieve a perfect balance.

After a moment's thought, Orange asked Roy with a serious expression.

"For different personalities to blend together, the key is to find the opportunity for fusion—have you sensed that opportunity?"

"This is also where I'm most at a loss right now. I feel like I have this opportunity, but I don't know what it is..."

Roy gave a helpless, bitter laugh. He could sense that he possessed that opportunity, and he felt that if he could find that opportunity, he would definitely be able to merge his personalities. But the problem was that he didn't know what that opportunity was.

"Is it not that they don't exist, but that they can't be found?"

Aozaki Touko raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression quickly softened.

"Since that's the case, then there's no problem. Listen carefully, it's best not to go looking for it on purpose. Maintaining the status quo for now is the best approach. There's a saying, 'The flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant without intention may thrive.' Now that you have that opportunity, you'll definitely find it in the future. Just wait patiently for that time to come."
