Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"Alas, this gentleman is really a troublesome person. Ordinary tricks can't confuse him at all. I wanted to avoid him and refuse to meet him."

"But if that's the case, it seems we have no choice but to meet in person."

"It's just that he still has the world with him..."

Even with absolute future vision, it is difficult to escape the detection of Merlin's Ex-level clairvoyance.

She had already seen the future in which she would be found, and it was an inevitable outcome.

Guanbuzishi's mother simply stopped playing hide-and-seek and chose to stay where she was, waiting for Xia Yuan's arrival.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

……

……

"By the way, Shiki, how is Orihiro doing lately?"

After walking for a while, Xia Yuan asked about Liang Yizhi's situation.

"Do you really want to see Zhi?"

Ryougi Shiki was a little surprised.

"I'm just a little worried about him. Is his murderous impulse as severe as before?"

"...You really know everything. In that case, you should just talk to Ori on your own. He hasn't been willing to come out lately." Ryougi Shiki sighed.

"But I can feel that he is actually in great pain and is trying hard to suppress something."

Suppress...

“That’s fine, but there are some things that are best confirmed with Ori in person. I’ll leave it to you, Shiki.”

Xia Yuan touched her head, which made Ryougi Shiki feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't treat me like an ordinary kid. I'm already a junior high school student."

"A junior high school student isn't a kid? There's a seven or eight year age difference between us."

"So you are the uncle."

"..."

After being choked by Ryougi Shiki, Xia Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. Before he could think, Ryougi Shiki's personality had returned to his body.

"Hey, long time no see, uncle."

"You actually want to see me?" Seeing Xia Yuan again, whom she hadn't seen for half a year, Liang Yi Zhi greeted him very naturally.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me uncle, you should call me brother."

"No, an uncle is an uncle. Who told you to act so old-fashioned and arrogant all the time?" Liang Yizhi shook her head rebelliously.

"Forget it then, call me whatever you like."

"What's wrong? Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about? Or do you just want to see me?"

"Well, now that I'm back, I thought it would be best to meet you and confirm your condition."

"Tsk, you're so gentle."

In response to Xia Yuan's concern, Zhi just nodded, and then replied: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm fine. Although my hands are itchy, it's within the tolerable range. I just need to come out less often."

"Is your urge to kill really increased? No wonder Shi said you seldom come out recently. However, I still believe you can overcome this urge. When one day you feel that you have killed someone or done something wrong, contact me immediately. Don't be stubborn, and don't do anything to make Shi sad, understand?"

"Tsk, you act like you know me so well."

Liang Yizhi curled her lips, "Now I am beginning to doubt whether you are a lolita complex. You actually investigated me and Shiki so thoroughly."

"Maybe it's just fate. Anyway, you don't need to know so much about the magician."

"Yes, yes, magicians are the best. But don't treat me like a child. After all, I have learned some tricks during my time with Orange. Ordinary magicians are not as good as you."

"Haha, I'm a very powerful magician. If we really talk about strength, Orange can't compare to me, but..."

In an abandoned alley filled with air-conditioning units and water pipes, Xia Yuan stopped and touched Liang Yizhi's head.

"Before we continue our small talk, we have some friends we need to deal with?"

Looking at the five or six gangsters who followed him from the corner of the city, Xia Yuan joked to Liang Yizhi: "Look, there are some wild gangsters emerging."

"Do you think this is an RPG game? Monsters constantly spawn in the alleys?" Liang Yi Zhi curled her lips.

"But this situation is really similar."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the thugs who surrounded him, with a smile on his face.

"A wild band of thieves has appeared, Knight Weaver, come and protect the princess beside you."

"Hmm? Why am I the knight and you the princess?"

"Because you are more powerful."

"You are obviously more like a knight, go and take care of them."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you two? Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and..."

"Ahhhhh!!"

Seeing the two were still arguing, a gangster started shouting and cursing, and suddenly he felt a huge repulsive force descending on him, knocking him into the garbage dump.

"Hush, didn't I tell you that keeping quiet when others are chatting is basic etiquette?"

Xia Yuan raised his finger and looked at them with a smile.

Then the magic power burst out again, and another gangster who was approaching was knocked against the wall by him.

"Monster! It's a monster!! This guy is a monster!!"

Seeing their accomplice being blown away by the magic and hitting the wall unconscious, the other thugs instantly lost the courage to show off their power. They didn't even have the courage to confirm whether that thug was dead or not. They quickly fled towards the exit of the alley. Xia Yuan looked in their direction and slowly raised his hand, and a faint wave of magic rippled.

At this moment, the fleeing gangster's vision was instantly occupied by blue butterflies. He could no longer see the direction, but he was running so fast that he could not stop.

"boom--!"

"what--!!"

There were a few screams and some cracking sounds. The hooligans had a close contact with the wall. It seemed that they had broken several ribs and fainted from the pain.

"Okay, Princess Liangyi Zhi, the cunning thief has been defeated by your knights." Xia Yuan joked.

"The mission was successfully completed."

"What did you just do? Was it magic?"

"Nothing. I just used some tricks to slightly change their perception, such as making the thugs think the wall is an exit."

"Are they all still alive?" Liang Yi Zhi asked again.

"Of course I'm still alive. Do I look like a bloodthirsty monster? As long as you're not a very evil person, I won't take your life easily."

"Oh."

"Are you so sensitive about killing people?"

"No, I just feel uncomfortable."

Liang Yizhi shook her head: "If you want to know the reason, it's probably because of the influence of my grandfather."

"Your grandfather?"

Xia Yuan was a little surprised to hear Zhi's answer. He didn't have a deep memory of Sora Aoi and could only remember a few important characters. He had almost no impression of people like Ryougi Shiki's grandfather who only appeared in his memories.

My grandfather said this before he died: "A person can only kill one person in his lifetime. If you kill someone and use up this one chance, you can never expect others to kill you again, and you can no longer die as a human being."

"Shiki-ori... I hope you can have a peaceful death."

"These are what my grandfather said to me before he died, but I still don't understand what these words mean." Liang Yizhi was a little distressed.

"You can only kill one person in your lifetime, so why would a killer be born? What kind of existence do Shiki and I have? And the dejected look on my grandfather's face when he left, I don't understand at all."

It sounds like your old man is quite an extraordinary person.

After hearing these words, Xia Yuan had some idea, but these words should not be said by him. They would only be meaningful if the person involved thought about them himself.

So all Xia Yuan did was slap her on the head with his hand, then rubbed her head with his palm, making her soft hair a little messy.

"What are you doing?" Liang Yizhi subconsciously hugged her head.

"Although these words are very philosophical, they are not something you should be thinking about at your age. You will have time to think about them in two years when you have your second year of chuunibyou. If you still don't understand them then, it's only because you don't have enough experience. As time goes by, you will always get the answers you want."

"With the passage of time? So you have already guessed the answer?" Liang Yizhi grasped the key point of Xia Yuan's words.

"That's about right. But that's just my answer. You'll have to find your own answer. Okay, let's stop talking about murder. You're so young, it's not good to talk about murder all the time. You won't be able to make friends this way."

"Besides, it looks like we've arrived."

Xia Yuan stopped.

"Are you there?"

Liang Yizhi looked at the cement wall in front of him, and there was no sign of Guanbuzishi's mother at all. He was a little puzzled, "But this is obviously a dead end."

"Zhi, let me teach you another truth. Even the eyes can deceive us in some things, so we cannot believe everything we see. The only thing that is truly trustworthy is... the heart."

"So, why don't you come out? Do you really want to wait for me to catch you?"

After saying that, Xia Yuan reached his hand into the air, and then, as if lifting a curtain, he gently pulled down the topmost hidden surface, accompanied by ripples.

"I found you, the mother of Guanbuzi City."

Guan Buzi City's Mother: Danger! !

Chapter 106: The Mother of Guanbuzi City

"Hey young man, is there another beautiful lady who wants to come over for divination? It's very effective."

The crystal ball flickered and the object I was looking for finally appeared.

Finally, after walking through countless alleys, Xia Yuan finally found the hiding place of the mother of Guanbuzi City.

As the last curtain was torn off by him easily, a gentle yet somewhat old-fashioned female voice sounded in the alley.

When they looked in the direction of the sound, they found that the dead end of the alley had disappeared, and a table was set up in the shadows. The figure in front of the table was waving at them.

The light black English hat was embellished with a blue flower, and the night-like veil covered her old face and gray hair. She was wearing a well-fitting black coat and gorgeous ornaments on her arms. She gave the impression of not being a mysterious fortune teller, but more like a gorgeous middle-aged lady.

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

Seeing her appear, Xia Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, and his pupils, which had originally shown a light blue glow, returned to their original color. The magic power circulating in his body also stopped, as if nothing had happened.

Only the mother of Guanbuzi City knew that the ancestor just wanted to use large-scale magic to cover this place and force himself out.

"Ah... It is also my honor to be able to tell fortunes for you, Master Magician."

Seeing that the ancestor was willing to give up, Guanbuzishi's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Recognized by the world, with a body from the origin, a soul from another world, and an angel imprisoned in his body, this young man carries too many things, and they are too terrifying. If possible, the mother of Guanbuzi City would never meet him.

But his method was much more sophisticated than her absolute future vision. The great magician in the ideal land had already locked onto her with his clairvoyance. She could not see the future in which she successfully avoided Xia Yuan, and could only let him find her. Moreover, he actually brought...

The mother of Guanbuzi City also glanced at Liangyi Zhi standing next to Xia Yuan and couldn't help but sigh.

He actually brought this person here.

This made her somewhat plump body tense up.

Seeing the nervous look on Guanbuzi City's mother's face, Liangyi Zhi became a little suspicious.

"Is she the fortune teller you told me about who can predict the future with 100% accuracy? Why is she different from what I imagined?"

In Liang Yizhi's impression, such extraordinary people should be very mysterious and unfathomable, but the fat old woman in front of her did not have such temperament at all.

It feels like a middle-aged lady dancing in the square.

"Remember, don't judge a person by his appearance. Zhi, this person is indeed the mother of Guanbuzi City. Her absolute vision of the future is genuine."

Seeing the two important figures discussing her in front of her, the mother of Guanbuzi City could only wait quietly and dared not say anything.

These two big men, one is the third magician, and the other is the root itself. Both of them can destroy her with a breath. As a small fortune teller, she can't afford to offend either of them.

She didn't pull herself together until they turned their attention back to her.

Xia Yuan greeted her politely: "Hello, mother of Guanbuzi City."
