In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei remembered that his cloak, which could conceal magical energy, was still with Aozaki Aoko.

When you get back, give her a call and ask her to bring the cloak back. My house is spacious enough for the two sisters to stage "The Witcher 2".

For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly arose in Aozaki Touko's mind. She couldn't help but look at Luo Wei suspiciously, but at this moment he had already closed his eyes and started to pretend to be asleep, clearly not wanting to pay attention to Touko anymore.

"...Tch, you really are useless when I give you a chance, you big idiot with lustful thoughts but no guts."

After saying that, Aozaki Touko also crawled into her own bed.

However, Orange did not notice that shortly after she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Luo Wei, who was sleeping soundly on his side, suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed across the surface of his dark brown eyes.

……

At this moment, in the train corridor, a beautiful lady who had been waiting for almost two hours was starting to get impatient as the person she was supposed to meet still hadn't arrived.

She glanced at the descending dawn outside the window and the sun that was about to fully rise, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

After letting out a soft hum, he returned to his room.

Because she was stood up, her feelings for Luo Wei suddenly decreased significantly.

'What a rude guy, daring to stand me up...'

'When you fall into my hands, I'll have to teach you a lesson and correct these bad habits...'

Rita opened her bedroom door, clenching her teeth and thinking with a resentful expression.

※※※※※※※

……

……

I'll write the rest tonight.

I was too tired last night, so I fell asleep.

Hey~

Chapter 136 The Demon Eye is Stolen, the Entire Area is Sealed Off!!

A peaceful and pleasant rest is always too short.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Just as dawn was breaking, a ray of golden sunlight shone through the crack in the train window into Aozaki Touko and Luo Wei's room.

On the soft, comfortable bed, half-asleep and half-awake, Aozaki Touko had one leg draped over the edge of the bed without any regard for her image, and her head was tilted to the left. In short, she opened her eyes in an extremely unseemly sleeping posture, and then subconsciously looked at the location of Lovi's chair bed on the floor.

However, even though it was only six o'clock in the morning, his figure had already disappeared from the room.

Realizing this, Aozaki Touko, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed without paying attention. Even her underwear slipped down from her left shoulder as she sat up in an unseemly position, revealing a large expanse of skin. However, since the room was empty, no one could see this unique sight.

Upon discovering that Luo Wei had disappeared from the room, Aozaki Touko hurriedly checked her watch, repeatedly confirming that it was just before six o'clock. Furthermore, her physical functions were perfectly fine; she wasn't senile enough to not even notice someone openly leaving the room beside her.

Although she admitted that she was indeed too relaxed in front of Luo Wei, it was clearly not to the point of letting her guard down to this extent, right? Even if it was because of trust that she was completely unguarded, there should still be a limit, right?

Okay, I really didn't take any precautions at all.

In short, she only slept for three hours, and there must be something fishy about a grown man disappearing silently from her side during those three hours.

So, Aozaki Touko began to think about it seriously.

After confirming that it was impossible for anyone to have sneaked into her room during those three hours and silently abducted Rowe while she was sleeping beside her, the only explanation was that Rowe had deliberately left quietly last night, and must have used some special magic to make it impossible for her to detect.

So... what is that guy planning to do now?

Aozaki Touko felt somewhat puzzled by Luo Wei's actions, and she really wanted to find that guy and ask him directly to find out the truth.

But where should we look for it?

Just as Aozaki Touko was deep in thought, suddenly—

"Ring ring!!"

Just as it was exactly six o'clock, the alarm clock on the desk went off on time.

Hearing the noisy alarm clock ringing in her ears, her thoughts were immediately pulled back, and her attention was quickly drawn to that direction.

She hopped barefoot to the ground and went to the alarm clock in front of the desk, where sure enough, there was a small note that Luo Wei had left for her.

[Senior Orange, I suddenly remembered last night that I had some things to do this morning, so I went out to take care of them first. You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you. However, to prevent you from being late, I set an alarm for 6:00 AM to wake you. Remember to go to the cafeteria before 7:00 AM; I'll be waiting for you there.]

Two unique lines of text caught Aozaki Touko's eye, clearly stating Luo Wei's current whereabouts.

To ensure that Orange would believe the note completely, Lovi even used primordial runes as markings on many of the symbols on it.

"...What on earth is this guy up to? Why is he being so secretive?"

Examining the label that Lo Wei had specially left in her hand, Aozaki Touko carefully pondered the information recorded on it. After learning some important information that she wanted to know, she couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Although I don't know what Luo Wei is up to, since he said he'd meet me at seven o'clock, he must have something he wants to tell me.

Since that's the case, let's go take a look quickly, and then we can ask in person.

Moreover, she remembered that there was a final exhibition this morning.

Moreover, it is said that even the two pairs of gem-level magic eyes mentioned in yesterday's roster will be on display at this exhibition, which can be regarded as the last rehearsal before tonight's auction.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Touko stretched in the morning sunlight streaming through the window, then rubbed her still half-asleep eyes and turned to go into the bathroom to tidy herself up.

Before setting off, she made a special check on the stack of talisman cards, and only after confirming that they were all still there did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He then began to ponder how to arrange these spell cards on the train in the quantity and locations requested by Rowe without so many people noticing.

"This job seems very challenging..."

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

……

at the same time.

On the other side, Rowe completely ignored the resentful look Rita had given him in the corridor half the night before, and sat at the dining table chatting with Lehman and Hansa, showing no intention of communicating with them at all.

This left Rita in a very unpleasant mood, as she had not only been stood up but had also not received any apology from the other party.

While she certainly didn't need sleep—only lower-level creatures like her needed it—anyone would feel uncomfortable being left out in the hallway for most of the night. She really wanted to teach this ungentlemanly guy, Luo Wei, a lesson right now.

However, considering that the items he had set up were still stored in the exhibition hall, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, only there can one ensure that all plans are completed while minimizing one's own losses.

Although she didn't really value the Magic Eye Collection Train, it was still a warehouse for storing her many collections. Many things were damaged, and repairing them would be quite a hassle for her.

She remembered the last time, while she was away, that damned Aozaki Touko actually used runes to blow up the inside of this train. This led to her being ridiculed by Whitewing and Eltruchi for years. Therefore, this time she was determined to be fully prepared and use her carefully crafted gift to completely repay the humiliation of the past and wash away her shame.

Puppet magic, the prototype of the soul, combined to create a unique resurrection ability...?

Hmph, indeed an extremely troublesome magical technique. If we only consider how difficult it is to kill, Aozaki Touko, this Grand Puppeteer, even surpasses many of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles.

However, there is no magic trick in the world that is truly unsolvable; every trick has its own way of being countered, and that is beyond doubt.

Aozaki Touko's difficulty to kill and her supposed immortality are merely based on the absence of special preparations and methods, not on the conceptual invincibility of Valeciano. With sufficient restraint, killing Aozaki Touko is still possible, and I am undoubtedly a special being capable of acquiring those methods.

Heh, the Soul Prototype and Puppet Magic... In essence, it's a resurrection program built by replicating souls and preparing bodies.

However, as long as the erosion of your soul itself does not kill you, but disrupts your spell from a remote location, thus putting you in a state of life and death, I wonder if you can still be resurrected by unique means?

'Hmph... So let's wait and see, Aozaki Touko.'

'After all, I've taken out my most treasured gem, the Magic Eye, for you. I'm sure your expression will be quite something if you're caught off guard at the auction and get hit by it directly…'

Thinking of this, Rita, who had been stood up by Lo Wei for half the night, couldn't help but hum happily to herself.

"Ok?"

For some peculiar reason, Hansa's hearing was exceptionally sharp. As he sat opposite her, heartily eating breakfast and chatting with Rowe, Hansa frowned slightly, thinking, "What's wrong with that woman? I have a bad feeling about this..."

He was just about to share his discovery with his partner.

Completely unconcerned, Lowe simply raised a finger and made a special gesture, implying that something good was about to happen. Meanwhile, Lehman, who was having breakfast with his daughter next to them, was oblivious to the message being conveyed by his two "grandparents" and continued enjoying his meal peacefully.

During this time, for some unknown reason, the little girl named Yvette L. Lehman deliberately bypassed her father and sat down next to Rowe, even initiating a conversation with him. Her beautiful, sparkling eyes, like those of a jewel, were filled with admiration and longing, and she declared, "I want to become a magician as excellent as my big brother in the future."

This scene left Lehman, the father sitting beside him, somewhat amused and exasperated. After all, his daughter had never said anything like that to him before. It seemed she really admired a magician as talented as Rowe…

In response, Luo Wei simply patted her head and earnestly told her, "Ask your heart what kind of person you want to become. As long as you keep striving for the goal you want to achieve, that's enough." It's a simple truth.

Although Yvette clearly seemed to understand but not quite, I believe she will eventually come to understand this principle.

Even if she couldn't figure it out herself, once she entered Weber's classroom, she would have to pester Weber for answers, and it wouldn't concern her anymore.

Yvette's incident was merely a minor interlude and didn't take up much time. Because of Lehman's presence, Rowe and Hansa only exchanged simple messages using notes and gestures, and most of what followed was just ordinary banter, which didn't arouse suspicion from others.

Even though Rayman felt uneasy seeing the Magician and the Agent getting so close, he didn't say much.

After all, this one-eyed priest was indeed very different from the other agents he had met before. He was a complete street thug, and it was hard to imagine what the Church of Saints' standards were for recruiting people.

"Hey, Rowe, am I a little late?"

As soon as she opened the door, Aozaki Touko, who had rushed over with a yawn, saw several familiar faces sitting at the dining table, and Lovi and Hansa waved and greeted her very warmly.

"……Um."

Seeing this, Aozaki Touko yawned and walked over without any hesitation. She easily picked up the little girl who had deliberately sat next to Lovi and handed her to Rayman, then sat down herself.

Yvette: "???"

The little girl, still confused, was full of questions, while her father was both amused and exasperated, and could only keep comforting his little princess.

Aozaki Touko didn't care at all. Instead, she took a plate from Luo Wei's table and casually stuffed the three leftover steamed buns on top of his plate into her mouth.

"..."

Hansa gave Lovi a strange look.

"Ok?"

Almost at the same time that Aozaki Touko entered the room, Loe keenly sensed something amiss.

So he had no interest in paying attention to Hansahu's burning curiosity and instead turned his head to look towards the door.

Then, the familiar figure who had appeared yesterday stepped in. It was the hostess with the black eye patch and a graceful figure.

Clearly, she had been notified and confirmed that all passengers had arrived before coming in.
