Ailian was not surprised by his expression.
"Haha."
Soon, Westcott laughed, finally understanding why Destiny suddenly focused on this tiny piece of land.
A girl who looks exactly like Takamiya Shinori, whom he killed that year, and whose sister is the person in charge of the cooperation between Ratatoskr and Skymancer, and a survivor of the fire in Tenmiya City. Others may not think much about it, but whether it is Westcott, Ellen, or Elliot, they will definitely connect these keywords together.
"Please invite that Itsuka Shiori over here. There must be no mistakes on this matter."
Without even a moment's hesitation, Westcott gave the order: "Don't make too much noise. Can I leave this to you, Ellen?"
"Of course, but I don't think Destiny will be defenseless against this."
Airen raised a reasonable concern: "In this matter, Takamiya Mana might also become an obstacle."
"She's still wrapped up in her emotions these days."
Previously, Westcott hadn't known why Mana had withdrawn into herself after returning, but now he could guess a little: "We don't need her to be involved in this operation. Let's treat it as a covert operation."
"I see."
Elaine nodded.
She didn't think this mission would fail. After all, apart from Yulandel, Elen didn't think anyone in the world had the ability to defeat her, even if Rita had completely mastered the random field. Although her random field was stronger than hers, she was a Valkyrie after all, not a magician, and could not match her in terms of utilization efficiency.
Besides, Ailian didn't think that Gokawa Shiori alone could be protected by Yulandel and Rita. First of all, no one was idle. Secondly, if Yulandel went to protect him? What was the difference between that and exposing Shiori to everyone's eyes?
If Yulandel doesn't go, others will only think that as a family member of Itsuka Kotori, she may know something about the cooperation between Ratatoskr and Tenman, and at most they will use some threats or inducements. But if Yulandel goes, those who are interested will definitely think too much and then take more radical actions.
This is also the reason why, although Kotori Itsuka was troubled, she did not take this matter as a dead end and forbade Shiori to go out.
From Gokawa Kotori's perspective, Shiori would only be targeted and inquired about because of her involvement. At most, someone would arrest Shiori for interrogation without knowing what's good for him, but his life would not be in danger. Therefore, Kotori's attitude was to protect Shiori from these people. With someone special looking after him, those guys would also restrain their actions.
However, no matter how thoroughly Kotori thought about it, she still didn't realize that DEM would use the world's strongest magician against a "high-ranking family member" because of the information gap.
"The school trip to Raizen High School is about to begin. That will be a great opportunity for us."
With a target in mind, Westcott regained his composure. He knew that even if he caught Gokawa Shiori, there was a high probability that he would not be able to make any progress on his side. But it didn't matter. As long as he could delay the development of Tianming, it would be considered a success.
Westcott, who felt that he had turned the tables, did not know that in the eyes of Mobius (Black Amber), Shiori's existence was completely insignificant.
At the same time, on the other side, Shiori felt a long-lost sense of healing.
Exchanging lunch with a new friend, Shizhi felt as if she were in another world when she saw the cute and sweet smile of the black-haired girl. What she loved most was the warm meal time with her sister. At that time, Shizhi could get her sister's admiring gaze, affirmation of her cooking skills, and appreciate her sister's healing smile.
However, now...Kotori's sister mode has become less and less common, and she has even completely lost the healing part these days. Not to mention Tohka, who is already trying hard to restrain herself by not increasing her own blood pressure.
Looking at the steak handed over by the other party, Shizhi was even moved to tears.
"Xier... could it be an angel..."
Black Amber: ...want to stab someone.
Chapter 58: Tohka is forced into a corner.
"Shiori, switch with me too!"
Tohka, who was standing by, felt that she was being ignored and spoke in dissatisfaction.
Not every family has the conditions to prepare lunch boxes. Some parents go to work earlier than their children. In this case, they usually give their children some pocket money to go to the convenience store, or go directly to the cafeteria for lunch.
Having said that, most of the students in this classroom prepare their own lunch boxes.
At this time, because of Tohka's shouting, many people turned their eyes to this side, openly or secretly.
"It's started again, the jealousy part. As expected, that Gokawa guy has some kind of attraction to the transfer student that others can't see, right?"
"It happens almost every day, but this is the first time I've seen it in the past few days that I've actually felt a sense of nostalgia."
"I can't stand it."
Shiori's blood pressure subconsciously rose when he heard the discussions around him, but when he thought about Tohka's unfamiliarity with human society, the feeling of shame faded a lot.
Taking a deep breath, Shiori looked at Tohka helplessly: "Our lunch boxes are the same, so there's no need to exchange, right?"
After all, she prepared it herself.
"Hmm! Shiori only knows how to say things like that!"
Tohka curled her lips, then looked at the short-haired girl opposite her with vigilance, as if she had turned into a beast guarding her territory.
Black Amber's smile remained unchanged: "In that case, then Tohka will come and exchange with Seele."
As she spoke, she picked up the braised egg with a slightly sweet center with her chopsticks and handed it to Shixiang.
"This...what is this?"
Tohka had seen eggs before, but she had never seen one this brown with golden juice flowing out. The soft, elastic and smooth appearance instantly attracted her attention.
“It’s a braised egg.”
He hadn't intended to interrupt, waiting for the short-haired girl to explain herself, but when he noticed she couldn't remember her name either, Shiori explained, "It took four or five days to prepare, and the process is a bit complicated. I've never done it before."
"Yes, but I didn't make it myself. A friend helped prepare the lunch box."
Black Amber said.
A dish that takes so long to prepare? It must be top-notch food, right?
Tohka became more and more curious, but when she thought that the other party might snatch Shiori away from her, she immediately restrained her eager expression and turned her head away and said: "I don't want it!"
Hearing this, Black Amber tilted his head, then put down the braised egg and picked up a steak: "What about this?"
"do not want!"
Tohka's vigilance didn't let down. Instead, she became even more wary of this short-haired girl who could easily disrupt her mind. She declared, "I won't eat any of your food!"
"Eh……?"
Black Amber made a bewildered expression, looking a little hurt, but soon revealed a not-so-nice smile: "Then... Xier, can you think of ways to make something that Tohka likes to eat next time?"
“Tohka…!”
Seeing her like this, Shizhi couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly tugged at Tohka's clothes, reminding her not to go too far. Then he looked at Hei Amber apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xier... Tohka's situation is a little... special..."
But Tohka became even more convinced that Shiori was angry with her because of another human.
Only half a day had passed, and whenever the three of them were together, Shiori always spoke up for this human. Tohka, who had always been the favored one, felt extremely aggrieved.
"Stupid Shiori!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Tohka even lost the appetite for food. After cursing Shiori loudly, she lowered her head and ran out of the classroom.
"Tohka!? Sorry Seele, I have to go to Tohka first! You...don't come over yet!"
Shiori didn't expect Tohka's reaction to be so big. After apologizing to Black Amber, he immediately chased after her.
Shiori thinks that Tohka's temper is very unreasonable, but Shiori knows that this is from his own perspective, that is, the perspective of a human being. To Tohka, he is her support, and as a spirit sealed by him, Tohka is also his responsibility.
Now that he has shouldered this responsibility, Shiori can teach Tohka and comfort her, but he must never be annoyed or even hate Tohka because of her immaturity in human social interaction.
"Xi'er knows."
Black Amber nodded with a look of disappointment on her face, but she was very satisfied in her heart. After all, the current situation was caused by her.
Although Amber said that Shiori should be protected during this period, the specific implementation still depends on Black Amber. Based on Black Amber's understanding of DEM, or Westcott, he is very sure that he will take action as quickly as possible.
Then, the best opportunity would be the school trip that will be taking place soon.
But the reason why the school trip is the best opportunity is that there will be a large number of unrelated people serving as their shield so that they can take action. In addition, the school trip is located outside Tiangong City, so the Valkyrie's support cannot respond immediately.
On weekdays, Tiangong City is not only the base of the Immortal Blade, but the streets for going to and from school are not as crowded as those for school trips. If anyone wants to take action, he will undoubtedly be arrested by Tianming immediately.
But the situation now is different. Tohka's brain has been explained in an entire animation. Where will she go first after a quarrel? Of course, it is the runway on the mountainside where the two of them sealed their spiritual power. Even Shidou knows to go there when something goes wrong.
That place is sparsely populated and has not been disturbed by outsiders. It is a perfect place to take action.
Black Amber's favorite thing to do with the rats hiding in the shadows is to let them show up on their own, but she also knows that she is not the type of person who has planned everything out. Anyway, this is just an insignificant chess move. Even if DEM is cautious and does not take the bait, she can also take the opportunity to retaliate against Tohka for her repeated rude remarks.
No loss either way.
Just as Black Amber thought.
After Tohka ran out, Shiori knew where she was going, but when he thought that the place was several kilometers away from here, Shiori felt his scalp tingling. He originally wanted to contact Ratatoskr through the headset for help, but got no response. He could only guess whether Kotori was busy with something.
After all, this was his responsibility. After sighing, Shiori gritted his teeth and ran over. There was no other way. If he took the car, he might miss Tohka halfway.
But Tohka, who Shiori was thinking about, was not halfway on the road at this time. Instead, she was pulled into an alley when she was halfway through the run.
She groaned and followed the other person's strength into the alley, with anger still evident on her face. Seeing that the other person hadn't said anything, she became even more unhappy: "Why did you chase me? Don't you already hate me?"
Hearing this, the blue-haired girl walking in front paused, then turned around and gave an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry, can you forgive me, Tohka?"
There was a deep affection in her eyes that Tohka had never seen before. Facing such a 'Shiori', Tohka felt as if her cheeks were roasted by fire. Not only that, without receiving a response, 'Shiori' approached step by step, forcing Tohka all the way back to the corner of the wall. The increasingly close distance made Tohka's head smoke.
Shi... Why is Shizhi suddenly like this?
Chapter 59 Seven Sins: Is reconciliation possible?
"Shi... Shiori!? You're... I won't forgive you so easily!"
Tohka felt a little overwhelmed, but thinking of the grievance she had just suffered, she still spoke loudly.
"Don't say that."
Shiori didn't care about her tone, but moved closer to her body: "Don't you want to do something happy?"
“Eh…!?”
Tohka subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Shiori had almost never shown such an attitude towards her, except when he sealed his spiritual power. What was going on now... ?
Looking at the face that was getting closer and closer to her, Tohka's anger gradually dissipated, and she closed her eyes, looking like she was ready to be picked.
Shiori was very satisfied with how easily he had gained the other person's trust, and the joy of revenge surged like a tide. Did you see that? Gokawa Shiori! Your girlfriend is showing this in front of me now!
Ruining your life starts from here!
Thinking of this, 'Shizhi' stopped hesitating and was about to kiss her directly, but just as their lips were about to touch, the sound of unfamiliar footsteps interrupted them.
In fact, Shiori didn't care whether she would be discovered or not, or rather, being discovered would suit her needs, but Tohka's sense of shame awakened and she pushed Shiori away.
"It seems I have interrupted your fun."
It was a female voice, calm, yet somewhat inhumane and indifferent, making her voice sound difficult to get along with. However, the footsteps approaching made it clear that this difficult woman was looking for him.
'Shiori', or Kagamino Nanashi, looked over curiously and saw a woman with long white hair wearing a revealing device.
Tohka immediately recognized her identity. She was the woman who was easily defeated by Yulandel before.
Although this was her first impression, Tohka knew clearly that Yulandel could easily defeat her not because she was too weak, but because Yulandel was too strong. Not to mention that she was now sealed and could no longer be described as weak. It could be said that apart from her good physical fitness, she had no ability to fight back.
"Ah~"
Nanashi also knew this woman.
After all, she said that she would ruin Shiori's life, so naturally she also did some research on Shiori's experience. Therefore, she had seen this woman in the documents. She seemed to be the most powerful magician in the world.
However, Nana Sin does not take humans seriously. In her eyes, humans are objects that can be easily teased. So what if they are the strongest?
Oh right! I can try to draw hatred towards Gokawa Shiori!
"you again."
Qishi raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression showing obvious sarcasm: "You were defeated by Yulandel in two or three moves, and you still haven't learned your lesson?"
"Haha, you really don't understand the situation."
A sneer appeared on Ailian's face.
If it were two days ago, Ellen might have been angered by this sentence. After all, that was the defeat she least wanted to mention. Everyone knew that the battle was a complete failure for Ellen. She was shot down by Yulandel in just three rounds and a short minute.
In the first round, he was beaten without the strength to fight back and could only run for his life. In the second round, his random field was broken, the display device overheated, and he could only use his brain to calculate. In the third round, his display device was directly broken into pieces, but Yulandel's relaxed look seemed to indicate that this level of effort was as easy for her as kicking a dog to death on the side of the road.
but……
Just yesterday, Yulandel also easily defeated the combined forces of Alti and Manna in less time than it took to fight her.
Only last three rounds? Yes, it can last three rounds!
"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation, right? Be careful, I'll call Yulandel right away and have her teach you a lesson."
Nanashi showed no fear of Airen's sneer. With the intention of making Shiori hate her, she acted as arrogant as she could.
Tohka felt something was wrong. Yulandel was not their subordinate, but their friend. Why did Shiori say that it seemed as if he could order Yulandel around at will?
