Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Not only did he serve as a tool for the other party to relieve their emotions during their free time after finishing their magic research, but he also became a rich man who provided funds for subsequent research. Then, after gradually losing his usefulness, he was tricked into Misaki City to attract their attention and make use of his last remaining energy.

After sorting things out like this, it seems much more reasonable. This is the style that the bad woman Aozaki Touko should have.

It seems that her cheap brother-in-law really suffered an unprovoked disaster.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Aoko's irritation caused by what happened before disappeared.

"It seems that Ms. Aozaki and Chengzi know each other. I wonder what kind of relationship you have? Relatives, or sisters..."

Roland seemed not to have noticed the girl's previous abnormality and asked with interest.

Although at the beginning, Aozaki Aoko had already planned to use Orange's name to make this cheap brother-in-law explode gold coins, but after understanding the whole picture, the girl still couldn't do it to make Roland, who had already lost both his life and his money, worse off.

What if Chengzi kicked him away and the other party came back again? She was not like her sister who could just walk away.

Aozaki Aoko frowned her beautiful eyebrows and showed a hesitant look. Struggling between moral integrity and reality, she still couldn't call her brother-in-law or acknowledge her identity as sister-in-law.

So, after interrupting Roland, she gave an explanation using a rather confusing description.

"How can I put it? There are complicated details involved. I don't know how to describe it, if I have to make a summary."

Aozaki Aoko paused.

"Before her and I, our relationship was 'nothing'."

-

Aozaki Aoko hurriedly opened the entrance door with a brass key and walked into the house.

Passing through the dim patio that was as gray as the night outside, without even bothering to go back to the room to change into more comfortable clothes, Qingzi pushed open the door on the east side of the stairs, walked into the corridor that was as dark as a basement, and entered the nearest room.

Unlike the exterior that shows slight signs of time, the interior of the room is quite beautiful, with luxurious patterns on the walls, majestic sofas, and high-end Persian carpets. It looks like a castle in a fairy tale.

Among them, a 30-inch color TV sits on the TV stand, declaring its existence in a way that is out of tune with the surrounding environment. Like an emperor wearing non-existent new clothes, it bluffs at the surrounding furnishings and makes them bow down before its majesty.

Although the owner of this mansion was reluctant to install a TV, for Aoko, the sense of normalcy brought by this thing was indispensable.

So, after the war, she reached a compromise with her cohabitant.

However, if she was not at home, this time-warping combination would make the original feeling of loneliness even worse.

And in the middle of the sofa, sat a girl who was neither a dream nor a delusion, reading an old book in her hand.

She has short, shiny black hair, a petite figure, slender hands and feet, skin that is so white that you don't know what the sun is shining on it, and delicate facial features that show no sadness or joy, making the girl have a beauty like a doll.

Even though she has seen it many times, Qingzi, as a lesbian, still marvels at this unreal beauty.

"Qingzi, it's too noisy. You disturbed me while I was reading."

The witch named Kuonji Yuzu didn't even raise her head, as if she didn't care about anything.

But Aozaki Aoko, who had long been accustomed to the behavior of her roommate, didn't care about it at all and walked to the side of Kuonji Arizuma.

"Well, what happened?"

The witch, who was like a puppet, raised her head sharply because of the unusual behavior of her roommate, but she only saw Aoko's expression that was more angry than indifferent.

"Are you angry again?"

"Well... that's not important. Guess who I met today? The answer is very interesting!"

Qingzi groaned when his pain point was caught, then quickly put it behind his mind and spoke excitedly.

"..."

Kuonji Yuju stared at Aoko for a while, then made herself a cup of steaming hot black tea.

The witch was already familiar with her cohabitant's personality, so she thought it must be really interesting that the other party came so excitedly without even bothering to change his clothes. Even as a reclusive witch, she couldn't say that she had no interest at all.

But Kuonji Yuzu is not someone who would easily reveal his feelings, not to mention that Aozaki Aoko has always had a strong desire to share.

Sure enough, after casually putting the things in the bag on the table, Qingzi didn't care about the witch's attitude, kicked off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and took the initiative to reveal the answer.

"Today, I met my brother-in-law! I never thought that I would become a sister-in-law one day. I thought that guy's fate was to live alone until the end of his life..."

The witch closed the book in her hand and stared at her calmly.

Although Jiuyuanji Yuju's gaze was not sharp or fierce, being stared at by those eyes as crystal clear as black pearls still made people feel an invisible power.

Under this invisible urging, seeing the expression of Kuonji Arizuma, Aozaki Aoko shrank her shoulders, immediately became serious, and began to tell her everything that had happened to her today.

Aoko, who had not expected Arizuma to move at her own pace, even sped up her speech on purpose to avoid being treated as an idiot.

"After that, I chatted with my cheap brother-in-law for a while, and then lunch was over. I paid the bill and said goodbye to him. Fortunately, although he ordered expensive sushi, he didn't eat much, and his portion didn't exceed the budget. He even left a few coins as planned..."

Although the emotions were very high, resulting in many subjective descriptions mixed in, Kuonji Yujuren did not interrupt his roommate once, but summarized the key points of the matter in plain words.

"So... this is why you go to the conveyor belt sushi restaurant and eat a lot, but only use the bento from the convenience store to get rid of me?"

Chapter 197 Aozaki Aoko is always accompanied by poverty

“Is this the point?”

In the extremely stiff air of the living room, Aozaki Aoko suppressed her guilty expression and spoke in a natural manner.

"That Orange girl would never lure people to Misaki for no reason. Even if the other person is just an ordinary person, she is most likely eyeing this place again!"

"Of course I know this, but this has nothing to do with you only bringing lunch for me, don't confuse the point."

"It seems like you're the one confusing the main point."

Aozaki Aoko crossed her arms, looking depressed.

"There was nothing I could do about it. I suddenly heard such explosive news about Orange that I couldn't think of anything else. By the time I realized what was happening, I had already arrived at the White Dog Mound.

Ten years ago, Misaki City was just fields and forests. It was very difficult to build residences on high ground, and no one lived above a certain height.

Although there are residential areas, they are basically spread out around the station with pastoral scenery.

However, on the road that winds around the high hills, far away from the residential area, there are traces of the past, and Shiratsuzuka is one of them.

The direction in which the asphalt road extends is obscured by dense forests, with only a few mountain paths visible. The vending machines deliberately placed in the middle of the road are the dividing line between the city and the mountains.

Although the scenery you see when you climb this long winding mountain road is very beautiful, if you treat this kind of thing as a daily routine, it will only make people feel tired.

After changing buses twice, she still has to climb such a high road. Even though it has been going on for two years, Qingzi still can't ignore it.

Therefore, when she found herself at the foot of the mountain, she had no desire to go back to buy food and simply bought a box lunch at the nearest convenience store.

"I was too concerned about Orange's sudden marriage. It was definitely not intentional. Besides, this is better than instant noodles, right..."

Aozaki Aoko tried to defend herself seriously, but still succumbed to the cold gaze of the witch lady.

Normally, dinner seems to be a rotation system, but it also seems not to be. Generally speaking, it is solved casually based on the two people's mood. It is not uncommon for them not to enter the kitchen for a week.

But even so, the situation of sharing weal and woe is barely maintained. Therefore, it is a serious act of treason for a person to go to the city center to eat sushi and only use the coins in the change to buy a box lunch to get away with himself.

Aozaki Aoko, who was clearly prepared to hide the truth but still accidentally let it slip, can only taste the bitter fruit of being too honest alone.

Kuonji Yuzu looked at Aozaki Aoko with some frustration, then retracted her gaze and returned to her indifferent look.

Seeing this attitude, Aoko, knowing that she had committed a crime, sighed and began to comfort her roommate.

"Okay, it's my negligence, but it's too late tonight. Even if you want to go out, the store is closed. You've only been relying on instant noodles for the past few days, and you've only had black tea today. You should eat something first."

"Black tea is enough."

After hearing what Aoko said, Kuonji Yuzu revealed a very stubborn look.

For this rare witch, black tea is more like a part of life than blood. She can skip meals but must drink tea, and the brand must be high-end. From this point of view, her petite and slender figure compared to her peers is also related to this habit.

After arguing about this issue that has been brought up many times in the past two years, Kuonji Arizuma did not continue to reject Aozaki Aoko's kindness. She picked up the lunch box in the plastic bag and started eating it bite by bite.

After all, I have been hungry since morning and have not eaten anything except black tea, so it is a miracle that my stomach is not growling with hunger.

With hunger as the seasoning, the plain bento seemed much more delicious, but when Yuzu thought of Aoko's dinner tonight, her eyes became even more disappointed.

However, considering that the dinner was brought back by the other party, Kuonji Yuzu suppressed her unhappiness and turned her head to look at Aozaki Aoko.

"We have to be careful recently. Something is wrong with Misaki City itself. It might be Orange's arrangement."

Although it is not surprising that it is coveted as a spiritual vein that is second to none in the world, the Aozaki family is a family of magicians after all, and those troublesome characters will not take the initiative to cause trouble. The rest of them can't cause any trouble with her as a witch to help them, but there have been too many abnormal situations recently.

"I also have a bad feeling. Maybe that guy is doing something behind the scenes."

The feeling of having discovered the clues left by the other party but knowing nothing about their true purpose and being able to only watch the storm coming made the optimistic Qingzi feel annoyed.

Rather than hesitating, it is more in line with her style to seize the initiative as soon as possible.

Thinking of the chill she felt running down her spine when she saw Roland today, Aozaki Aoko shuddered all over and muttered.

"But I have already tested my cheap brother-in-law today, and the barrier didn't react at all, so it should be fine."

The barrier set up by the Aozaki family in Misaki City was the work of the previous magician. Even if it was just luck at the beginning, they were able to obtain magic and accumulated so many years of experience after becoming a magician. In terms of reliability, even the very confident Kuonji Arizuma could not find fault with it.

"If there is no alarm, the other party must have nothing to do with the magic path."

Kuonji Yuzu put down the chopsticks in her hand, and after filling the emptiness in her stomach with elegant and quick movements, she began to answer Aoko's question.

"But we still can't let our guard down. The range of the Aozaki family barrier is limited to magic and sorcery. Some anomalies are beyond this range, such as super powers."

"But I don't feel anything is wrong..."

"I trust your judgment, but I trust your sister more."

Kuonji Yuzu took a sip of black tea, her eyes flickered, and she spoke in a very arbitrary tone.

Her relationship with Aozaki Touko cannot be described as that of ordinary friends. They both understand each other, but in this regard, both of them place their identity as magicians above this bond.

Although Touko is quite abnormal, and although her reasons are different in some aspects, she is as conservative as her. Even if the other party is very suitable for her, she will not give herself up so easily. The person who can make Aozaki Touko willing to marry and devote herself to him must have something strange.

The fact that it cannot be detected by the barrier does not mean anything, and many superpowers themselves cannot be said to belong to the category of magic.

"Your... 'brother-in-law' must have something more abnormal than Orange, so he was attracted here by Orange. If you are careless, you might fall into his hands."

When mentioning the word "brother-in-law", Kuonji Arizu also showed a very complicated expression.

"Did you get any information about Orange from him?"

"Oh, no, I was busy eating and helping him out."

As soon as she finished saying this, Aozaki Aoko felt an invisible pressure locking onto her.

"So what did you gain from this conversation?"

"this!"

When Kuonji Yuzu cast a reproachful look at her, Aozaki Aoko looked at her fearlessly and pulled out three brand new bills from her pocket.

"Fukuzawa Yukichi! Three of them, enough for our living expenses for a month! We can have a very pleasant time at the end of the month."

Under the shining eyes of Aozaki Aoko and the pressure of reality, Kuonji Arizuma also fell into silent silence, and finally nodded with a stern face.

"I want a refill of my tea, and some snacks from Iseya as apology."

"Too cunning, asking me to run errands again, wouldn't it be better to order takeout? Let's talk about it after we finish our tea!"

Aozaki Aoko rejected her friend's decision with dissatisfaction, and proudly shook the banknotes in her hand, making them spread out like a fan.

"This is my extra income. You are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of my labor. You can only make suggestions. Go to a high-end restaurant in the city center and pack up a big meal for tomorrow's meal."

"No matter how you look at it, black tea is better..."

Kuonji Yuzu said slowly, but looking at this unexpected fortune, the girl who was usually very tight on money did not insist any longer, but stared at the bills that seemed to be deliberately shown off by Aozaki Aoko, and the joy in her eyes gradually faded. Her eyesight, which was far better than that of ordinary people, and her precision as a magician made it easy for her to notice anything wrong with the subtle details.

And Aozaki Aoko was still admiring the beautiful patterns on the banknotes without knowing anything. It was a rare experience for her to have so much cash in one go.

“Although the process was a bit tortuous, overall I am quite happy today.”

"It's too early for you to be happy."

Kuonji Yuju put down the teacup, checked carefully, and interrupted Aoko's self-entertainment with a cold voice.

"What's wrong? Is this thing a medium for some kind of spell?"

Hearing the warning from Kuonji Arizuma, Aozaki Aoko was stunned at first and subconsciously wanted to throw away the banknotes in her hand, but in the end she was reluctant to let go.

Fortunately, Kuonji Yuzu did not keep the question in suspense and quickly answered Aozaki Aoko's question.

——In a more cruel way.

"It's not a medium, it's just a fake."

'Eh? ’

She still couldn't believe it. For Qingzi, who was in charge of her own living expenses, distinguishing the authenticity of banknotes had almost become a passive instinct, and she shouldn't make mistakes in this regard.
