Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"

"You didn't even give me a chance to speak!"

Roland hit back without any hesitation, "By the way, why did you deliberately delay for a while when Youzhu was about to leave?"

"It's just a whim."

Aozaki Aoko turned her head to the side, not wanting Roland to see her burning cheeks.

That momentary impulse was indeed a manifestation of her instinct surpassing her rationality once again, but it was impossible to say that Qingzi had no idea of ​​the reason at all.

When Youzhu's somewhat discouraged and slightly sad voice sounded because she admitted her feelings for Roland, she suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure in her heart.

Well... yes, that's the only thing that can be confirmed.

Just now, when I was holding Roland and talking to Youzhu, the joy I felt was like a tide.

"……Yeah?"

Roland blinked his eyes, as if he understood something, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Then go ahead."

"Here? Yuju might be back at any time, right?"

What does drinking tea have to do with this? The remaining sense of shame in her heart made Qingzi reach out her hand and gently push Roland's chest, but her body, which had been completely limp in the previous atmosphere, made this resistance more like coquetry.

Roland said in a meaningful voice while suppressing the girl's feeble resistance.

"It's okay. Didn't you agree to go have tea with her? You'll have to get used to it sooner or later. Why not start getting used to it slowly from now on?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 236 Do you believe in gravity?

The next night, Misaki City once again welcomed a long-awaited snowy night, but unlike the last time when she had to participate in the decisive battle facing death with faith, Aoko, who could now lie safely in the mansion to rest, only felt very happy.

"Youzhu, here I come!"

Pushing open the door, the magician saw Kuonji Arizuma who had already arranged everything.

Maybe it was because she was too relaxed, Qingzi always felt that there was a strange light swaying in the witch's emotionless black pupils, her breathing was a little heavy, and her black hair hung on the wet red lips, as if she had just woken up.

"You're here, Aoko."

The witch stood up hastily as if to cover up something, her back straight, but the short distance still caused her to stagger.

Such a reaction made Aozaki Aoko look at her friend strangely. Although her friend was weak, in her impression, he was obviously not so fragile.

"Youzhu, did your waist get hurt today?"

"Woo..."

Hearing Qingzi's question, a blush suddenly appeared on Youzhu's delicate face that looked like a doll.

"It's just... a bit of overactivity, that's all."

Kuonji Yuzu tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, but the action of subconsciously lifting the hair hanging by her ears made the witch, who originally had a classical atmosphere, have a more gorgeous beauty like a fairy.

After not seeing each other for a few days, that friend who was as pure as a princess has become more feminine than her. Is there really such a thing as talent?

Qingzi was secretly surprised and looked a little confused.

"Never mind that. Would you like something to drink? I might stay a little longer tonight, so I'd better drink some water."

"I don't have a choice... After all, there is no option other than black tea in this room."

"People can survive on black tea alone."

"Are you an alien from somewhere?"

Although they were quite cold before, because both of them felt guilty for neglecting their friend, they soon returned to their normal atmosphere.

Aozaki Aoko picked up the teacup skillfully and drank it in one gulp.

In this Kuonji mansion that lacks heating facilities, this hot tea is the best source of comfort for the body and mind.

"call…"

Aoko sighed with satisfaction, but found that the witch did not taste her as usual, but was staring at her actions.

"Youzhu...what's wrong?"

Thinking of Roland's mysterious words yesterday, Aozaki Aoko suddenly felt that the air on this snowy night had become a little sticky.

This is some kind of rather ominous premonition.

A rare expression of strange emotion appeared on Kuonji Arizuma's face. Although it was only fleeting, Aozaki Aoko was sure that she was not seeing things.

"As expected, I still need to apologize... I'm sorry, Aoko."

The magician was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the witch lady's voice, which was as light as a mosquito's whisper. She stared at the young man who was standing in the dark corner of the room with a smile, and turned all the shame and anger in her heart into a vicious glare.

-

When Aozaki Aoko woke up again, she began to reflect deeply on what she had done.

It turns out that being 'betrayed' by a close friend is such a strange feeling. However, from a realistic point of view, this should be considered an assist?

However, this was obviously not something that the introverted witch could come up with. It could only be the work of that bastard. Judging from what happened yesterday, this guy had probably already started to play both sides.

Now that the last barrier on the surface has been broken, I and Youzhu probably can't escape Roland's clutches, and can only live a life of revelry every night...

When she thought of this, Aozaki Aoko felt her scalp tingling. On the one hand, as the character in this mansion with the most human moral concepts and the highest level of common sense, even someone as shameless as Aoko felt extremely ashamed of stepping into such a battlefield with her former friend.

On the other hand... the twisted idea of ​​"it seems to be okay this way" that came from deep in her heart has taken root in her mind and is beginning to fight fiercely with the common sense in her heart.

Although Qingzi had already had a premonition of this situation since yesterday.

But there was nothing that could be done, the horse charm was just too foul, it didn't completely heal or anything like that, making it impossible for people to escape even if they wanted to.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Aoko wanted to move her body, but this idea was still a little difficult for her body which had become numb as if she had accidentally pressed her hand while sleeping.

Just when Qingzi was worried, another voice suddenly came from the side.

The magician was startled at first, thinking that Roland had come back to heal her. Her usually fearless blue eyes now showed a hint of fear.

However, through such subtle noises, she soon discovered that the person who came to her was Kuonji Yuzu.

Although she wanted to say something like a betrayer, but thinking of her experience of cheating yesterday, Aozaki Aoko did nothing and just sighed.

At this time, Kuonji Arizuma also helped Aoko up. Because of the afterglow of last night, the magician was still lying down with her arms and legs raised high, like a female leopard on the hunt.

After she was straightened up, Qingzi smacked her lips, turned her neck with difficulty, looked at the witch who was skillfully cleaning up the marks on her body, and spoke.

"What was that yesterday?"

"A specially crafted potion."

"The witch is really useful. She can even make something like this."

These half-teasing, half-sarcastic words made Kuonji Arizu pause slightly.

"Although I can't make up for it now, I still have to explain that in the beginning, I just did this because I couldn't resist him."

"At the beginning..."

Aoko muttered in her usual tone, "It seems that Yuzu has been hiding a lot of things from me."

"You are the same in this regard, right? My potion does not have any effect on controlling the mind, and cannot control your behavior..."

Kuonji Yuju said in her usual cold voice.

"So, Aoko, why are you so skilled... How many times have you and Roland done this?"

Aozaki Aoko didn't answer, but just turned her head slightly.

But many times, acquiescence itself is also an answer.

The witch did not continue to attack, after all, she did act as an accomplice.

After calming down, the two girls had a certain understanding of each other, but because of their proud personalities, neither of them was willing to be the first to give in in such a quarrel.

But fortunately, because of Roland's existence, opportunities for reconciliation are not numerous, but at least they can be found everywhere.

"After all, I can't bear to see a pair of rare friends grow apart. You don't have to thank me... Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

A few days later, before the next weekend, thanks to the kind-hearted Roland's voluntary sacrifice, the two girls finally returned to their original state of being able to talk about anything. This was truly cause for celebration.

Moreover, perhaps because of habit, or because their final fates are similar, Aoko and Arizuma have become more in tune with each other.

However, the two were not at all happy about this unexpected surprise.

But Roland was happy to see this change, and even very happy with it.

Needless to say, this was a very enjoyable result.

Roland looked at the girls lying in the room, their delicate faces as gorgeous and charming as blooming roses, and felt the gradually spreading, intoxicating fragrance. He stroked their hair reluctantly, and closed the door of the room amid the cute, barely audible snoring.

Disregarding this precious moment, except for the pity for Aoko and Yuzu.

"Phew, it's almost time. It's time to get down to business."

Although it was in line with Roland's style to temporarily stop the acceleration of time for the sake of the lovely girls and not go back to the time before his time travel.

But the reason why he stopped Paradise Manufacturing this time was not for this, but because of a simple original intention.

——He has to fulfill a promise.

Those who survived in the old universe and whose fate had been changed by contact with Roland would still retain their previous memories and status.

But the characters who died in the old universe will create a seemingly real existence in the new universe. However, this is not absolute. For some important characters who carry destiny, if they are not deliberately interfered with, they will still be born in accordance with the times and move forward in their fixed destiny.

Roland was waiting for this moment. In order to avoid any interference from the butterfly effect during the process, he would rather spend time slowly in Misaki City than cause any unnecessary interference before that.

-

In the church where the sun shone through the stained windows, emitting a winding light, Kotomine Kirei was praying devoutly.

This is a church in France where Kotomine Kirei is currently training.

Although from common sense, for Kotomine Kirei, who is an elite agent and has made many contributions, such an arrangement is a bit of a waste of talent.

But for true believers, this peaceful life will allow them to have a deeper understanding of the doctrine.

The same is true for Kotomine Kirei. He has no reason not to have faith.

Both his family background as a direct descendant of the Holy Church and the education and environment he received since childhood have profoundly influenced his personality.

Most importantly, for him who has been unable to find inner peace, faith is the only thing that can give him hope.

“Lord, please teach me.”

Standing under the holy cross, Kotomine Kirei prayed as usual.

"Why do people have luck and misfortune? What is true happiness?"

This is the question that has been lurking in his heart for a long time. Up to now, he has tried all possible means to find the answer, but still found nothing.

What's even more strange is that in this process, he touched something like fate for the first time.

From the moment he became an agent, he had an inexplicable awareness of what he would encounter next, as if he had already experienced it once.

But no matter what means he used, apart from the undeniable sense of déjà vu, the only thing he could feel was the incompleteness of his own nature.

As a believer, Kotomine Kirei is much more perceptive than ordinary people and is willing to give. Therefore, after experiencing a period of revelation and realizing that everything he did next was useless, he gradually understood his own nature.

Kotomine Kirei is a scumbag who can only get pleasure and happiness from pain and can never be redeemed.

This is determined from birth and cannot be compensated by hard work.

To the devout Kotomine Kirei, this distorted nature was like a nightmare from which he could not wake up.

But Kotomine Kirei still did not give up. After marrying his terminally ill wife, he tried his best to love her, but still nothing changed.

The same thing happened with the birth of his daughter. Before the birth of the new life that inherited him, Kotomine Kirei realized that the other person's existence could not save him.

As his daughter grew up, he finally understood one thing.

The fate of the man named Kotomine Kirei is gradually coming to an end.

The two years of marriage are about to come to an end, and even if he has changed compared to before, the result will not change.

Today is his usual day to visit her in the ward, and when he arrives, his dying wife will commit suicide to disprove the claim that she cannot be happy and prove that this is just a fallacy.

Of course, this is still useless.
