Miss Planeswalker, are you free for romance?

This time it was Nagini's turn to smile: "You can think about your question after the meeting. Miss Tojo, time is running out. I have to go back and cook for the master."

Aoi Tojo looked at her with a smile.

Nagini smiled back.

Inside the car, only the lead-gray fog was moving.

half an hour.

The poisoned apple extinguished the cigarette.

"I warn you."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, but her words were not very pleasant: "I'm warning you, Nagini...or whatever. I don't care who you are, you'd better not have any..."

Nagini's smile widened.

"We love her more than you do."

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Tojo Aoi controlled her expression and leaned over nonchalantly: "Really? Nagini, but she loves me."

"once?"

The woman maintained her victorious attitude with great difficulty: "It's still the same now."

The only response she got was a short but powerful "Ha." from the maid.

Tojo Aoi clenched her nails, lowered her head, and then raised her head again.

"Just a matter of time."

"Just wait till night. Can I drive now?"

Regardless of who was chopped and bleeding in the silent fight, the car started. Nagini held her chin and said nothing, and the short-haired woman in the driver's seat was not in a good mood to chat.

She came here today because she received a notification from Noguchi Tadashi. She has been paying attention to Mori Yuesha and the news came very quickly.

——Nagini’s identity was created by herself, but that doesn’t mean there are absolutely no loopholes. She came here and made a clear gesture just to tell Bai Ju that “this is my person”, so that it would be easier in the future.

There's no way, Bai Ju is too troublesome.

As for the commission I just mentioned.

It's the box under Nagini's feet.

「Special Items」

Just like the "secret instrument" that can detect mysterious fluctuations obtained in the official ceremony, or the special item that his father can use to create a maze in a space. Why did he give it to Tojo Aoi? Of course, it was because of her ability.

The ability gained after entering the second level super order.

"The Encyclopedia of Misguided Paths"

There is a probability that information can be obtained by touching it. Regardless of whether it is complete or not, it is much better than the official's own repeated experiments. If you have read the information that has been passed down, you should know how much the official paid in order to test the function of the "Mystery Ritual".

They are all caused by human lives.

Now, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea to have this information translated.

She didn't ask for much, and if there was any problem with the items, the authorities would not be involved. The young tigress of the Tojo family seemed to be trying to get rid of the constraints of the old Tojo step by step, and she would inevitably ask for help from them in the process of ascending to power.

What they don’t know is that the information they rely on and get through special channels is the so-called “price” is the information that “you can’t lie”…

"It's fake."

Aoi Tojo leaned back in her seat and steered the boat across the deep sea.

It turns out that one of the strengths of the Ritualist lies in the combination of their abilities.

interesting.

Chapter 22 Misleading and Speculation

The second special item.

Isn't it a bit hasty to hand over the item temporarily code-named 'X' to the Tojo family?

The authorities sacrificed two ritualists and half a group of promising young researchers for it. Sakai Takashi really envied those protagonists in novels and animations who knew everything after being reborn and experiencing something.

Unlike them, at the beginning of the mysterious resurgence, they were no different from blind people groping forward in the dark.

Even the pattern of the appearance of ritual objects and special items has not been found.

Usami Reiko divided three cups of coffee and explained to Sakai Takashi, "If Tojo Aoi is able to identify it, we can save a lot."

Although she had an unknown deal with Tojo Aoi in private, it was indeed a win-win choice in this matter.

Sakai Takashi understood it, but he was a little worried.

That woman...

"There are no herbivorous animals that can enter the 'origin'."

Bai Ju looked at Sakai Takashi, remembered his "price" and added: "You are an exception."

Do you think I want to take a pill? If I can't eat vegetables...

Bai Ju patted his shoulder, put down his coffee, walked to the door and closed it.

"Aoi Tojo is safe."

He looked at Usami Reiko and Sakai Takashi - no, among the three people, Sakai Takashi was probably the only one who didn't know.

"She can't lie."

Bai Ju simply and directly revealed the secret, and with a wave of his hand, he interrupted the young man who was eager to ask questions: "Listen to me. Sakai, some information is only known by the top leaders... In fact, the top leaders are not allowed to know it. It should be said that only those with a high enough energy level can know it."

The already hoarse voice lowered even further.

"The price of Aoi Tojo is: the inability to lie."

Do you understand it?

Bai Ju glanced at the calm Usami Reiko.

She really knew.

"N-No... What do you mean by 'can't lie'?"

Bai Ju picked up the coffee again, while Sakai Takashi put it down. He couldn't believe this "price", but... according to the boss's personality, he would never joke about such a deadly thing.

"how come…"

Sakai Takashi was speechless.

I thought my "price" was serious enough - entering the "origin" and gaining the ability to talk to (lick) plants, but the price was that I couldn't eat them.

I have become a rare and expensive ritualist in the ritual center...

did not expect.

Aoi Tojo, that girl...she's probably in her twenties, right?

Can't I ever lie again in my life?

“She can be silent.”

Usami Reiko raised her eyebrows. "The research team's guess about Tojo Aoi's personal abilities is that she should be able to remain silent, but not actively mislead. Any information that contains the concept of active misleading is not allowed by Chaos."

"Oh, by the way, she's a Chaos-side ritualist, you knew that, right?"

I know high heels. I know.

Sakai Takashi knew nothing. Even though he was at the "Origin" level and had a high military rank, he was only the second to last in a base full of ritualists.

The last ones are the reserves, or “contact persons”.

Generally speaking, multiple "origins" would be accompanied by a "super-order" action. That is, following Bai Ju, the top third-order in Japan, he could see and hear so much.

"Someone who can't lie. Sakai, do you understand why we trust her so much?"

Da da.

Usami Reiko knocked on the glass plate on the table.

——'Identification' allows Aoi Tojo to check the information of the special items they provide.

——And the 'price' made it impossible for her to lie to them.

A perfect match.

Bai Ju continued: "She can only choose to tell the truth."

"If I hide it..." Sakai Takashi scratched his head: "...Isn't that okay? Didn't I say keep silent..."

This child is silly.

Usami Reiko smiled: "We will ask, "Are you hiding something?" - For someone who cannot lie, silence already means lying. "

After learning that Tojo Aoi had advanced to the second stage and gained such abilities, the authorities conducted several experiments with her - the results were quite good, the information was correct, and there seemed to be no intention of hiding anything.

"We are also helping the Tojo family build an information database."

Usami Reiko took out a cigarette and lit it: "She is the one who benefits in the end. Just wait and see, it's okay, big and small organizations will come to her later. And she will be able to resell information in the future."

Bai Ju agreed with this.

Aoi Tojo's abilities are extremely powerful.

He is different from Sakai Takashi, he is a person who wields fire with the ability of "Judgment". In terms of destructive power, few ritualists can match him.

It is for this reason that he understands Tojo Aoi's role better than anyone else.

In this strange world that is already damaged and about to fall into chaos, a toothbrush may kill the ritualist. What they need most is not the force to dominate the world, but the eyes that can see the world clearly.

That's why they would do anything to protect the researchers.

Aoi Tojo took this step directly.

Born...with eyes.

"It would be nice if we could get her to join the official ranks."

Sakai Takashi sighed: "Not to mention special items and ritual objects, we can at least tell which camp the ritualist belongs to."

——Until now, the method they use to distinguish camps still comes from the "Surge Ritual" given by the mysterious "Boundary Master".

Not to mention the gold that was melted every time, just those weird "elegant footsteps" and "crow's eyeballs" were troublesome enough. He had participated in it once so far, and apart from the increase in mysterious quantity, he had not heard any mysterious words from the order.

By the way, they failed three times in performing this ceremony.

I won’t talk about what happened to the participants.

Everyone is mentally prepared.

"She won't agree to that."

Bai Ju asked whether to join the topic, but Tojo Aoi did not agree.

"She has made it very clear that she does not want to be tied to any organization and only wants to communicate with each other as a partner." The man hinted: "She knows very well that there are people who can protect her and her abilities."

Tojo Tansuke.

A guy they guessed was at least at the "super-order" level, but their abilities were not yet clear.

"Ah... it's great to have such a father." Sakai Takashi stretched his body lazily: "He is rich and powerful, a chosen one, and he entered the second stage when everyone else was still a "contactee". "

it is good?

Usami Reiko and Bai Ju looked at each other for a second, and the man shook his head slightly, skipping this "family dispute" that might cause a major incident.

In fact, the three of them got together because of another thing.

The person before Tojo Aoi.

Nagini...or rather, the case that led to her being questioned.

"You haven't given me the information yet." Bai Ju looked at Sakai Takashi and asked, "Have the forensic doctors given any results?"

It is a ceremony that will be handed over only after the results are out.
