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

If that's really the case...

"..."

Rafe lowered his head, about to say something, but Rowe apologized first: "I'm so sorry, I startled you with my behavior just now, Rafe."

"The reason I barged in was because I was worried about your and Senior Orange's safety. After all, guarding a Dead Apostle Ancestor is no easy task."

At this moment, Luo Wei looked completely innocent.

"...Okay, I forgive you then."

Rafe shook his head.

"No, why are you apologizing? I'm the one who should be apologizing. I admit it was my fault this time, Crowley."

Realizing what had just happened, Rafe swallowed back the anger that had been building up inside him. He said helplessly, "However, next time I'll definitely install a doorbell in the lab. Anyone who wants to come in will have to ring the doorbell first."

"Installing a doorbell underground... are you hoping groundhogs will come knocking on your door?"

Luo Wei muttered a helpless complaint, then glanced around and, finding no sign of Aozaki Touko in the lab, asked her:

"By the way, where's Senior Orange? Isn't she here with you?"

"Miss Aozaki is still inside guarding the ancestor of the Dead Apostles you brought back."

Upon hearing Rowe mention Orange and the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, Rafe, who had just finished reorganizing the documents, sighed helplessly and then casually replied, "It seems she's more interested in the secrets of the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles than in assisting with my work."

Rafe immediately stood up again and walked with Rowe to the front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror. He gently placed his hand on it, and then powerful magic began to spread through his energy channels to his palm.

As the palm fell, the surface of the mirror quickly rippled gently like water.

Centered on Rafe's palm, blue magic circuits spread out continuously, covering the entire mirror in the blink of an eye and activating the hidden magic mechanism within.

buzzing-

With a slight vibration, the smooth mirror surface disappeared, revealing a pitch-black door in the frame, inside which was a secret warehouse used to store important items.

Originally, only Rafe and Lovi had access to the room, but now a new member, Aozaki Touko, has joined.

Click—!

Rafe pushed open the door, and behind it appeared a dark tunnel leading straight to other areas. At that moment, Aozaki Touko and the captured Ancestor of the Dead Apostles were inside.

"Anyway, you should go in and take a look. They're all over there."

After finishing all this, Rafe returned to his desk, looking exhausted. He said with a slightly helpless expression, "Actually, you came at just the right time, otherwise I was planning to contact you directly."

"Huh? Is Rita Rogan really in trouble?"

"Yes, your concerns are indeed valid. Hurry down and check the situation. Although they are taking turns guarding the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, Miss Aozaki hasn't come out for three days. When I went to visit her not long ago, I also noticed something was wrong."

Rafe nodded and continued.

"Moreover, the progenitor of the Dead Apostles has awakened, and most of the remaining body parts have lost their vitality. She has begun to regrow her body using her brain as a reference point, and even her eyes have recovered. Those troublesome demonic eyes almost destroyed the seal we set up, which is truly bizarre. In short, if this continues, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later. I suggest you inquire with the church or the designated seal executor in the Department of Law and Politics. Her current state is really difficult to manage; someone must stay by her side at all times."

"Oh? You mean... her eyes grew back? And they're demon eyes?"

"Yes, but the pair of Mystic Eyes in Miss Aozaki's hands have disappeared; they must have returned to Rita."

"Has it returned to her body...?"

Upon hearing Rafe's explanation, Lowe couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"Anyway, I'll go down and see what's going on. Thanks for your trouble, Rafe."

After saying goodbye to Rafe, who was still busy, he walked directly into the dark tunnel.

"Honestly... you're always causing me trouble."

Upon seeing Rowe's figure disappear, Rafe, who was sitting above, sighed helplessly.

Honestly, he really wanted to keep Luo Wei, the master he had chosen, in line.

Why not listen to Kenneth, stay home and seriously study your magic, and then start your ascension to godhood?

He has to go on adventures everywhere and cause trouble for him.

This time, however, when he dumped a Dead Apostle's father into the workshop and asked him to help guard him, Rafe was on the verge of a breakdown and wanted to refuse.

However, the other party said, "The peculiar creatures known as the Ancestors of the Dead Apostles may be hiding secrets related to the ancient and mysterious past."

And then he added, "Studying the Dead Apostles is also a way to revive the mysticism."

They kept telling him to prioritize the bigger picture.

This forced Rafe to reluctantly follow along, leaving him no choice but to let Rafe continue his research.

The plan to create the guardian angel Dragon, named Aiwass, is about to begin. At a time like this, who cares about the progenitor of the Dead Apostles? Isn't an angel more appealing?

"This is absolutely terrible..."

……

No cries of pain were heard from Rafe.

Because of Ilya Rojaan's current condition, Rovi was moving very fast, and since the tunnel itself wasn't long, he quickly reached the end of the tunnel.

It was a research room with an area no smaller than the outside, a special square space with minimal furnishings.

The magician's first impression upon entering this place was that it was 'spacious'.

However, although it is spacious, it is not actually empty.

In the very center of the room, a huge cylindrical container stands upright.

Yes, it was a truly enormous transparent container.

From the outside, it looks no different from an aquarium tank. It is made of a special, completely transparent material and is filled with pure holy water that has been blessed and extracted from under the Gabriel statue. The ground around the tank is covered with densely packed, suppressed verses from the Bible, which looks extremely eerie. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a place of worship for fanatics.

But compared to these strange things, the figure floating in the huge cylindrical container in front of them was more eye-catching.

Her long, twilight-colored hair, like the glow of sunset, swayed gently in the water, and her beautiful eyes, etched with rose patterns, shimmered with an eerie light in the holy water, making her look extremely bewitching.

Although Rita had only just recovered part of her body and her throat, and her body below the neck was still completely empty, her breathtaking beauty remained undiminished.

That bewitching beauty was once again manifested in her body.

If a man with poor self-control were to appear here, upon seeing her like this, he would undoubtedly break the container and snatch her away without hesitation.

However, this level of allure would certainly not be effective on Lovi, who was also climbing the "Kabbalah Tree of Life".

He walked slowly and deliberately toward the container.

Aozaki Touko, who was busy taking notes in front of her, turned around when she heard footsteps behind her. When she saw that it was Luo Wei, she greeted him.

"It's you! How did things go? Have you taken care of everything outside?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon."

Luo Wei shook his head and answered Orange's question directly.

"Let's put aside those demonic families for now, what's going on here?"

He then looked up at the object floating in the container, which opened its eyes upon sensing his arrival and stared intently at him.

The malice, disgust, anger, murderous intent... all these emotions were perfectly expressed through those rose-colored demonic eyes, like a sharp blade, as if it would break through the cage and pierce into Luo Wei's heart at any moment.

If looks could kill, Luo Wei would probably be dead hundreds of times over by now.

"Hmm... they actually managed to retrieve the lost Mystic Eye?"

Luo Wei stopped beside Orange, stroked his chin, and then looked thoughtfully at the figure in the container. He greeted her as if he were seeing an old friend.

"Oh, it's been a few days. You look much better now, Ms. Rita."

"..."

As Lo Wei's voice faded away.

The room suddenly turned icy cold.

The killing intent emanating from that beautiful head solidified like viscous blood in an instant, and an invisible pressure burst forth from her head.

It was like a raging flood that could break through the barrier at any moment.

P.S.: There's one more chapter.

I'm offering up a book as a sacrifice, a friend's band story. I've written a lot about it, so it definitely won't be suddenly abandoned!

Chihaya Aine Has Nine Wings

Synopsis: Chihaya Aine becomes a person with uncontrolled superpowers due to a disaster, and is forced to drop out of school in England and return to Tokyo to prepare to live an ordinary life.

But reality doesn't allow it.

She knew that she had been surrounded by the remnants of the former hero team Crychic and had formed a new team.

Unbeknownst to her, her five closest friends were actually members of the highly dangerous supernatural criminal organization AveMujica.

The lamp shouted that it wanted to be with her for life.

Li hope always has a sour face, as if he has a prejudice against her.

Her favorite streamer, Miaomengqin, and her beloved idol, Misaka Chuka, both invited her on dates.

Shoko Toyokawa, shrouded in countless mysteries, lives with her, making bento boxes by day and becoming her nemesis by night.

Add to that Goto Ichiri, who idolizes her, and Iori Nina, who inexplicably harbors feelings for her…

Oh, and every now and then I have to team up with everyone from MyGO!!!!! to battle against AveMujica.

Sigh, in this chaotic vortex, only Nagasaki Motoyo is gentle and considerate, the only haven that can comfort my soul...

Huh? Why didn't Su Shi respond when I greeted her earlier?

Huh? What do you mean by saying I'm not needed?
