Orange's joy was palpable.
No matter how slow she was to notice, she eventually realized it.
Since coming to the Aozaki family.
No, to be precise, it was after that night.
Yao underwent changes she was unaware of.
In the past, it was always Orange who tutored Yao in magic, but now Yao is the one giving her magic guidance.
The change of positions is truly surprising.
As her girlfriend, she felt that Yao had gained an extra layer of captivating mystery, and at the same time, she felt very gratified and proud.
"Hmm... This way of handling things is ingenious. I have a feeling that Yao must have secretly learned it without my knowledge!"
"I am merely lacking in knowledge. If we're talking about geniuses, it has to be Mainst, thanks to the relics she left behind. I even discovered the lost runes there before."
Yao once again shifted the blame to the Great Witch.
I must say, the Great Witch's tiger skin is really useful.
Although this made Yao feel quite guilty.
But when he thought about how Mainster had messed with him in the past, he immediately felt at peace with it.
"Runic runes! They even have these in their collection! Really!?"
It seems I'll have to find time to visit the Kuonji residence sometime... Speaking of Kuonji, it's been quite a while since we've seen Yuusuke since Mainst left."
"Um..."
Memories related to the ancient temple residence surfaced in Yao's mind.
The last time I saw the Great Witch was three years ago.
It was a very quiet and peaceful morning, and Yao was practicing magic at the Kuonji Temple as always.
However, he discovered something amiss.
The Great Witch didn't have her usual morning tea, and the entire mansion was unusually quiet and deserted.
When they arrived at the West Tower where the Great Witch was located.
Yao discovers that the Great Witch has passed away.
At that time, young Yuzhu was sleeping soundly in my arms, with a book of Mother Goose nursery rhymes beside her.
Even now, Yao still remembers her peaceful face.
It's as if they've already done everything they were supposed to do.
She left quietly without any warning, which was completely out of character for her restless nature.
"Hmm... Yuzhu is fine."
At that time, my uncle Kuonji and I were by her side, and Mainster also left her a bunch of fairy tale dresses.
After all, she was the daughter of that great witch, a successor to whom she could entrust everything with peace of mind.
Yao is very clear about Youzhu's personality.
Judging solely from her willpower, even though Yoo-joo is still young, it's clear that she is very strong.
She possesses a resilient self that allows her to isolate herself from the world.
Facing the death of his mother.
Yuju, understanding what this meant, did not shed tears, but quietly watched her mother leave at the funeral.

"However, it is precisely because of this strength that she may suffer a lot in the future, and that's what I'm really worried about..."
"Indeed... if there were pearls, that would certainly be the case."
"Speaking of which, Yao seems to care so much about Youzhu, could it be that he really has a soft spot for little girls?"
"Orange, don't be so jealous!"
Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Then he saw Orange's mischievous grin and immediately realized she was teasing him.
This is the quirky and mischievous nature of a young girl.
It's only when she's with Yao that Orange lets her guard down and shows this side of herself.
Normally, she is as elegant as a young lady, and even a true nobleman could not find a single fault with her.
Of course, Yao didn't intend to be polite to Chengzi either.
He reached out and put his arm around Chengzi's slender waist, and with a little effort, he brought the two of them much closer.
"Wait, wait! Yao... is too close...!"
"Hey, there's no one else here... Orange, can you honestly say you haven't thought about this? You only allow yourself to tease others, but you don't allow others to tease you back. That's going too far."
"Okay, okay, Yao, I apologize, alright?... It was my fault... I shouldn't have teased you..."
Orange's cheeks flushed red as she murmured.
In the past, Yao might have really let her go.
Unfortunately, Yao is no longer the person he used to be; he now understands his own feelings.
She loved Zhu Yue, and she also loved Chengzi.
Therefore, I will not let go.
"Hmph... unreasonable and domineering..."
Orange puffed out her cheeks, making an angry expression.
But she didn't put up any resistance.
The resistance she showed was merely out of girlish modesty; how could Orange not have thought of such a thing?
It's not just about thinking about it; it's about secretly hoping for it.
She definitely felt that Yao had changed.
Not only are they knowledgeable, but they are also more confident than before and more proactive in facing themselves.
Orange was unaware of the stirrings in her heart.
This feeling made her feel that it wasn't so bad.
Walking along the mountain path, you can admire the winter scenery with the remaining autumn colors and immerse yourself in the sweet atmosphere of the autumn breeze.
It was as if the entire valley was filled with honey.
The orange went from being resisted to being enjoyed.
Instead of trying to break free from Yao's embrace, she started talking to Yao about the recent events involving the Aozaki family.
"Recently, quite a few people have been visiting the Aozaki family. Let me think..."
Among the closer ones are the Tohsaka family of Fuyuki City, and further back is the Koyette family, which has been stationed in Japan since the Edo period.
However, the ones who come the most are still the magicians from the clock tower...
"You mean...Tohsaka...?"
"Yes, it's said that the ancestor of the Tohsaka family was a disciple of the Second Mage, Zelrich. Perhaps it's because I'm the heir of the Aozaki family that I've come to visit."
If I remember correctly, the person who came was the young master of the Tohsaka family, wasn't his name Tokiomi Tohsaka?
Orange didn't notice Yao's expression.
Yao's expression became subtle when he heard Tohsaka's name.
After all, they are the three major families of Fuyuki.
Yao knew that the Holy Grail War had never happened in this world, but he could not deny the possibility that it might happen in the future.
Once there is a Holy Grail War.
It seems the Tohsaka family will be present.
The current year is 1979.
Tokiomi Tohsaka was not yet the head of the Tohsaka family, and he was unaware of the Tohsaka family's situation at that time.
"However, I haven't actually met any other magicians yet, not even one who might be their successor..."
There was a hint of unease in Orange's words.
Yao knew this was what Orange was most worried about; she had been working hard to take on the role of a magician.
However, Orange is not suitable to be the Fifth Magician.
Orange has little interest in the minutiae that drive the world; her passion lies in completing the remnants of the world.
Becoming a mage was merely an expectation forced upon him by his family.
Orange has been silently enduring.
"...Do I have to become a mage?"
"Of course! Only I can shoulder this responsibility in the Aozaki family. Father has already disappointed Grandfather once, so how can I disappoint him again... Besides, Yao, you should remember, right?"
Orange stared intently at Yao.
To be honest, it was like the gaze of a drowning person, making Yao feel a pang of pain in his heart.
"How could I forget... It was a promise, wasn't it? I said back then that I would stay with you until the very end. I still remember it now."
"Yao... thank you... for those words."
Orange smiled with relief.
These words seemed to soothe all the weariness in her heart, allowing her to temporarily forget the heavy burden on her shoulders.
At the same time, she hugged Yao tightly.
It's as if only in this way can I remember the feelings of this moment.
"Hey...."
Yao understood that Chengzi could not give up her obsession.
On his own, Orange could not possibly give up all the efforts she has made since birth.
This means to negate her entire life.
Yao couldn't bring himself to do something so cruel.
At this point, Yao felt a surge of inexplicable anger towards Aozaki's grandfather, unable to understand why the old man would deny the existence of oranges.
In short, we must avoid the worst possible outcome.
Yao wanted to prevent Chengzi from getting hurt as much as possible; it was the only thing he could do for Chengzi right now.
"Orange, please accept this."
“What is this…?”
Orange accepted the gift box that Yao handed her.
She then took it apart.
"How is it? The prescription should be compatible, right? I specifically asked the hospital..."
Yao said with considerable pride.
Orange saw a pair of glasses in the gift box.
The exquisite yet understated silver-white frame and the thin lenses that sparkle like diamonds.
How did you know...?
Orange stood there, stunned for a moment.
My heart is pounding.
