Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

But after seeing that one strike wipe out the power of the Bridge Giant, this idea was already a thing of the past.

Youzhu, who always serves as her reliable backing, is also in trouble. Instead of expecting this bastard brother-in-law to let her go, it would be more convenient to use the trump card to solve the dilemma. As long as she defeats the opponent, she can find a solution to Youzhu's dilemma later.

"If you can do it, why not try it?"

Roland sneered as if he had heard a joke.

"But the awareness you have is just like a glass cannon. You know you can get out of the current predicament by firing the cannon, but you are afraid of being blown to pieces before the cannon is fired."

"So, Aoko, if you are really determined, why not give it a try? If you can show a brand new attitude, I don't mind accompanying you to the end with the magic that has been passed down in the Aozaki family."

Roland looked down at Aozaki Aoko with a calm demeanor, and made a silent mockery with the same flawed attitude as when they met in the park before.

In this familiar situation, Aozaki Aoko undoubtedly recalled the defeat that day, and her mind began to waver involuntarily.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Roland's devastating words perfectly reflected Qingzi's dilemma.

After all, magic is not a prop that disappears after use, or that requires a price or interval between each use.

It is a miracle that resides in Aozaki Aoko, and it is a path.

Qingzi's current situation is just like Roland's before he contracted the Holy Lord's soul. Once she uses magic, it means that she will have to abandon her past human body, bid farewell to the past ten years, and step into the unknown with a self that she doesn't know whether it will disappear.

Even Roland, whose mind was somewhat abnormal at the time, would hesitate in front of this door, let alone Qingzi now?

Her current awareness is more like a fermenting impulse, just like a crime of passion, where she completely disregards the consequences in a moment of emotion, rather than truly possessing the willpower not to regret.

The more consequences this simple impulse involves, the faster it will collapse.

Once a change of identity is involved, Qingzi can no longer judge in terms of good and evil. When Roland pretended to be a witness and exposed himself, he had already tested her attitude.

For an enemy like Orange, whose identity is already clear and equal to hers, Aoko can fight to the death without any worries, but when facing Roland, who is jumping back and forth between the identity of enemy and friend, he cleverly blocks Aozi from exploding.

Of course, in order to avoid any trouble, Roland also made other preparations.

As Aozaki Aoko's face kept changing and she was trying to convince herself, a charming voice came from the shadows on the uphill side of the river.

"This seems to be different from what we agreed upon, Lord Roland."

In the battlefield enveloped by the barrier, a new voice suddenly rang out.

The moment she heard the voice, Qingzi immediately looked away. She had been mentally prepared for this kind of scene, but her heart still beat uncontrollably faster.

"I'm just excited to see the prey. The fairy tale witch has been dealt with, but you still don't want to show up. I thought you were going to continue to hide according to your original plan."

Roland said with a mocking smile.

"It's really spicy. You haven't gotten tired of me yet, but I didn't expect these two kids to soften your heart so quickly. However, this also shows that my vision is right. Let's not talk about Qingzi for now. Youzhu will definitely satisfy you."

As she spoke, Aozaki Touko slowly appeared on the snow.

She was wearing a moss green coat and a silk scarf around her neck. Her tall figure, short hair and upright posture made her look heroic, but at this moment, the look in Orange's eyes as she looked at Aoko was darker than the night.

Although she arrived later than Roland, she did not return to Misaki City at the scheduled time like last time, but arrived right after him. However, Orange did not show up but hid in Misaki City, allowing Roland to act and obtain information. This was especially true after Kuonji Yuzu reached a contract with Roland.

She had originally planned to wait until the dust settled tonight before luring Aoko out, but after Roland deliberately showed his willingness to fight on her behalf, the Puppet Master had no choice but to come out to stop it all and prevent the most precious fruit of her plan from being snatched away.

While observing Roland's face, Chengzi showed a somewhat guilty smile.

It was not until she realized that Roland's words just now were more like a complaint to her, rather than a real intention to turn against her, that her attitude became calm and she turned to look at her friend whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Yuju."

“Oranges look good, too.”

The two of them greeted each other while keeping a distant distance.

"Although I am very interested in your current situation and would like to explain this incident, I guess you don't want to hear it."

"Of course. Without any contact with you, you have sold everything I own. If I talk to you for three to five minutes, I'm afraid you would sell even my internal organs."

Even Kuonji Yuzu, who didn't like to express her emotions in words, couldn't help but reveal deep resentment about what her best friend had done.

"That's a pity,"

Aozaki Touko didn't care about the witch's remarks. When she sold the other party's information, she had anticipated today's situation.

For the puppeteer who even sold herself, such words did not hurt at all. Moreover, she had never regretted those decisions, because being able to return to the scene before her eyes was worth it.

"You are too reckless. Obviously, Roland would not attack you if you didn't provoke him, but you actually forced yourself to do this. What should I do with you, Qingzi?"

Orange said with a smile, her tone full of concern.

Aoko wanted to at least retort her, but she held back for the moment.

Since it was originally very quiet here, and everyone's five senses had been enhanced by magic, both sides could hear each other's conversation.

After noticing Aoko's outfit, a fierce light flashed in Aozaki Touko's pupils.

Knowing that there would be a battle tonight, Aoko's outfit was completely inappropriate for the current situation. She was still wearing the Misaki High School uniform.

This was because Yuzu took the wrong clothes for Aoko. For some reason, she took the student uniform instead of casual clothes, but these little things had special meaning in Aoko's eyes.

"Before the battle begins, I have a question that I am very concerned about, but I may not have the chance to ask it in a while. Is that your battle suit, Aoko?"

Orange's voice came through clearly, completely unaffected by the distance. Her unhappiness could be clearly felt from her voice, as if she had been insulted or even despised.

Aoko frowned as she looked at Aozaki Touko, who was standing on the slope with one hand supporting her slender waist and looking down at her with her usual arrogant eyes. She clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"Do I need to dress up to deal with you? I am the heir of the Aozaki family. No matter what kind of enemies I face, I will face them with the most authentic attitude, that's all."

For a moment, Orange's pupils emitted a sharp light that even Aoko was afraid of.

Then the two began to stare at each other in silence.

In the cold air, sparks flew from the two sisters’ unique murderous intent.

"Fight, fight..."

But in such a solemn atmosphere, Roland's excited and expectant words made such a serious scene inevitably fall into an awkward zone.

Even though he whispered very quietly, it was no secret in front of everyone's enhanced hearing.

But when everyone's eyes were focused on him, he pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"Relax, I have no intention of joining the battle, but there's no reason why I can't even watch the show."

"Humph……"

Although she was treated as an actor on the stage, Chengzi knew that Roland was not someone who could be angered. She took a deep breath and called out to Qingzi.

"Aoko, if you really have the guts to end everything tonight, then come with me."

Although she knew that this would not stop Roland from watching, Aozaki Touko didn't want someone to point fingers at her during the sweet moment she had planned for so long. The most annoying thing was that she couldn't resist the other person at all.

If that's the case, then her pleasure of revenge would probably be more than discounted.

Looking at Orange who was walking away nonchalantly, Aozaki Aoko subconsciously looked at Youzhu beside her.

But this time, the witch did not give her the affirmation as before.

"Qingzi, this matter can only be decided by you."

Kuonji Yuzu originally wanted to remain silent as usual to show that she didn't care about the feud between the two of them.

But finally, she spoke.

"But if you die, I will help you hold a funeral."

"Don't predict my ending before the fight begins!"

Aozaki Aoko acted like she was furious, but under the witch's gaze, she finally shook her hair, showed a free and easy smile, and without even saying goodbye, she rushed in the direction where Orange left.

For a moment, the only people left beside the wide river were Jiuyuansi Youzhu and Roland who was standing still.

"From the perspective of his attitude, it seems that the other party does not want to interfere with the outcome of this feud."

The witch sighed in her heart, and after hesitating for a while, she walked to Roland's side. While waiting for the Aozaki sisters to decide the winner, it seemed that the only thing she could do was to get to know her future boss, and by the way, to hint at the relationship between the other party and Orange.

"What are you thinking about?"

Roland was watching Qingzi's slender back leaving with great interest. When he heard the witch's question, he was stunned at first, but he did not hide anything and spoke his mind frankly.

"Just now it suddenly occurred to me that Chengzi's current identity is still my close partner. According to common sense, if she loses, I should comfort her, right? But this precious scene represents the shattering of dreams and the sinking of life. It would be too wasteful not to laugh at the deflated oranges... It’s so hard to decide.”

Looking at Roland who was distressed by this matter, Jiuyuansi Youzhu couldn't help but shudder, subconsciously hugged himself tightly, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind.

What a horrible man! Fortunately he is not my partner...otherwise I would be in trouble.

Chapter 213 Is Only Black Tea Okay?

In the biting cold wind, Kuonji Yuzu subconsciously hugged her body tightly. After signing the contract, she already felt regretful before any real trouble even occurred.

The person under contract is a guy with a bad taste, so it's hard to have hope for the future... although it's visibly bleak to begin with.

Fortunately, after saying that, Roland did not do anything unnecessary and just fell into deep thought again, as if that was just a meaningless joke.

The witch, who was never good at finding topics to talk about, didn't know how to deal with this situation. For a moment, this cold area fell into silence again.

Just when Kuonji Yuzu was almost stunned by this dilemma, a rustling sound was heard in the sky.

"Snowing……"

Roland was silent for a long time, then he looked up at the gray sky and smiled with some regret.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kuonji. I lost my need for warmth a long time ago, so I was a little slow to react. I forgot that you were afraid of the cold when we were in the forest last time."

Roland snapped his fingers, and two soft sofa chairs emerged from the shadows. In front of the two chairs, without any firewood, a blazing fire rose up. The dancing flames cast warmth on the surroundings. The snowflakes seemed to have wisdom and spontaneously avoided the places covered by the heat.

"Take a seat first. This drama will probably last for a while."

After breaking the silence, Roland sat down without hesitation, his fingers dancing lightly. A faint light spread out from the flame, weaving a delicate picture fixed in mid-air.

In the center of the picture, Aozaki Aoko has stopped running. After pausing for a moment, she follows the unconcealed footsteps of Aozaki Touko and steps into a desolate area.

It seems that is the venue Orange chose for the final battle.

Jiuyuansi Youzhu sat on the sofa chair opposite Roland without saying a word.

The other party also skillfully took out a set of familiar-looking tea sets and poured out hot black tea from them.

“Is black tea the only option?”

After handing the black tea to Jiuyuan Temple Yuju, Roland said with a hint of apology.

"Because I don't usually have the habit of drinking tea, but I have a lot of wine reserves."

She didn't want to drink what a stranger handed to her, but after smelling the familiar aroma, the witch took it obediently.

This is her favorite brand, and the style of the tea set also matches well. From this point of view, the other party has good taste.

If it were Aoko, she wouldn't care about these things at all and would drink them directly regardless of whether they were hot or cold. She was also prepared to waste them by using the teacups she had carefully collected to make green tea. In her mansion, even things like kelp tea for making tea rice are not allowed!

She had argued with Aoko many times about this matter, but just as she accepted the TV, Aozaki Aoko finally chose to give in helplessly.

What's more, having a cup of steaming hot black tea on a cold winter night is a unique and interesting thing, which is exactly what Jiuyuan Temple Yuju wants.

Speaking of which, Roland seems to be quite rich, so his daily needs should be taken care of while he is working. In this way, drinking high-quality black tea seven times a day is not an unattainable dream.

Feeling the taste blooming between her lips and teeth, the cold witch subconsciously revealed a happy smile, but when she noticed Roland's gaze, she immediately put it away.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"It doesn't matter. It's your cup and tea anyway..."

Roland said with a smile, but the fact revealed in it made Jiuyuanji Youzhu's cheeks stiffen suddenly.

She suddenly lowered her head and looked at the shape of the teacup in her hand. Her eyes, which had just relaxed, became cold and sharp again.

No wonder she felt so familiar.

Kuonji Arizuma, who has always been obsessed with her things, finally took the lead in changing the topic to business.

"Well, now that the contract has been signed, can you tell me what needs to be done?"

After being completely defeated, Kuonji Yuzu reviewed his experiences over the past few days rationally and finally came to a rather sad conclusion.

Even without Orange, she would not have been able to win. There was a decisive gap between them in both preparation and strength.

Youzhu, who had experienced how difficult Orange was, accepted her fate after seeing that her attitude towards Roland was more like fear than respect.

With this previous lesson in mind, the witch also plans to work for the other party obediently during the contract period.

"So dedicated?"
