"Crack..."
The door to the east of the lobby on the first floor of the Western-style building leading to the living room was gently opened.
The soft moonlight casts down from the glass skylight at the top, bathing Noah as he walked into the cold hall.
Looking up at the soft moonlight from the glass skylight, Noah sighed as he looked at the bright moon hanging above it in the clear night sky.
Although he seemed calm and strong when discussing Aozaki Touko with Aozaki Aoko and Yuzu in the living room, only Noah knew that, in fact, after knowing about Aozaki Touko, his mood changed. Get quite irritable.
The reason for restlessness is simple.
Because of the fight between the two sisters Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko.
From Noah's point of view, he really couldn't understand why Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko, who were sisters, would fight each other.
Is it because of someone who has committed a heinous crime?
Is it because of who did something wrong?
Is it because someone forced them?
Is it because someone threatened them?
neither.
This is all voluntary.
As if it was a matter of course, Aozaki Orange made a move against Misaki City's barrier, and also challenged her own sister to fight.
As if it was a matter of course, Aozaki Aoko was not at all surprised that her own sister would plan to attack her, and she was ready to face the battle just around the corner.
Why can these two sisters take all this for granted?
This is why Noah can't understand.
Of course, if you look at it from an objective point of view. The battle between Canozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko really seems to be a matter of course.
There is only one magic in the Aozaki family.
In order to obtain the only one inheritance, Canozaki Chengzi and Canozaki Qingzi must fight.
In this world, the birth of two descendants in the same generation of a magic family is a tragedy.
If one is talented and the other is incompetent, it's fine, but if both are talented. Then the trouble will be big.
Because there is only one "magic seal".
Around the "Magic Seal", the descendants of the same generation of the same magic family compete and fight, leaving only one to inherit the research topics left by the ancestors. This is not an uncommon example in the entire magic world.
From the point of view of the rest of the magicians, the fight between Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko is really natural. There is nothing strange about it.
If, one day, Noah's grandfather, Makarov told Noah that he has a super magic that can dominate the world. But only one of the brothers Noah and Laxus can inherit. They have to fight, leaving only one person.
Then, I believe that with Laxus' distorted character, he will agree without hesitation.
However, if Mira and Lisanna are faced with the same thing, then Mira will definitely give up the chance to obtain this magic without hesitation. Give it to Lisanna, and Lisanna will also give it to Mira, and she will never fight with her relatives for the desire for power.
Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko are also sisters.
Since both of them accepted the result of this battle as a matter of course. Could it be that these two people have twisted personalities?
I'm afraid not?
Or do the two sisters not cherish their family at all?
This, Noah doesn't know.
But for Noah, as a family member, it is too stupid to fight for the so-called magic.
Noah can fight anyone for the family members in "Fairy Tail ()", but he will not fight with the family members in "Fairy Tail ()".
No matter which world "Fairy Tail ()" is good. Noah has always only had the reason to fight with others for his family, but he has no possibility of fighting with his family for that necessary reason.
This is Noah.
believe. There were almost all members of "Fairy Tail ()" in the two worlds Noah was in before. It will be the same with Noah.
Therefore, from Noah's point of view, no matter what the reason is, fighting among family members is incomprehensible.
Even if there is a reason, even if there is a purpose, even if there is a reason, even if there is a reason, even if he knows all of these clearly in his heart, Noah can't understand, and he doesn't want to understand.
Isn't family the most important thing?
"Alas..." Noah, who was anxious in his heart, could only sigh at last.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind Noah.
"It's not like you to hide here and sigh alone."
Saying such a sentence, Aoko Aozaki, who was wearing casual clothes, came out from the direction of the living room and came to Noah's side. She raised her head and, like Noah, looked at the night sky outside the glass skylight. The voice seemed to come from a distant place. As if it came, it got into Noah's ear.
"Don't imitate Jing Xijun who is in a daze all day, or I will look down on you."
"You think too much." Noah responded calmly.
"I'm just homesick."
Hearing this, Aoko Aozaki was silent, and I don't know if he sensed what Noah was thinking in Noah's heart from Noah's words, or he was also homesick, and even thought of the sister who was about to fight together, Aoko Aozaki said.
"It's not like you."
"It's just that you don't know it. I'm a good man who really loves his family." Noah withdrew his gaze from the glass skylight, squinted his gaze, and looked at the pretty face of Aozaki Aoko, who was so beautiful under the moonlight , Open your mouth and say such a sentence.
"Aren't you homesick?"
"It's not a child anymore, so I don't have such fragile thoughts." Ao Qiqing replied without hesitation.
"Reminiscing about the past is a good thing, but if you keep reminiscing about it, you will become cowardly. I will not allow myself to become too cowardly."
"Tighten it too tight, be careful to play yourself to pieces." Noah said with admiration and mockery.
"Or, for you, home is a symbol of cowardice?"
"...It should be said, just the opposite, right?" I don't know if I was touched by Noah's words, and the blue eyes fluctuated, and Aozaki Aoko said involuntarily.
"Because you can only keep all the cowardice in your heart at home, so you can't think about it when you are outside."
"You are so strong." Noah smiled wryly.
"No wonder you can abandon everything in the past and step into a world like a nightmare."
Before the age of fifteen, Aozaki Aoko was just an existence that grew up as an ordinary person.
Like the students in the school, Aozaki Aoko was originally an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary. The only difference is that she has an extraordinary family, including an extraordinary sister and grandfather.
However, at the age of fifteen, Aoko Aozaki resolutely accepted the inheritance of the Aozaki family and became a person who abandoned her past life, past dreams, past values, and even her past identity as a human being. A contradictory body born of human existence.
From the point of view of ordinary people, the magician's path of blood and killing is unintentionally a path of only pain.
No matter who it is, facing such a monster-like world, the only thought is to run away.
But Aozaki Aoko endured all of this.
As an ordinary person at that time.
In this way, isn't it worthy of Noah's praise for being strong?
"I just don't allow myself to escape." Aoki Aoko's powerful voice echoed around.
"Since it's an unavoidable fate, then I'll bear it and walk on it magnificently before the day when I can't stand it and collapse!"
Saying such a sentence, Aoko Aozaki turned around, and looked directly at Noah with pale eyes full of strong emotions, as if trying to see through Noah's heart.
"What about you? If it were you, how would you choose? Will you escape?"
"Me?" Noah smiled, very forcefully.
"I don't care about shitty fate."
Noah turned his back, and his voice resounded throughout the mansion.
"If the so-called fate is to fight with family members, friends, and lovers, then I will smash this fate, break this fate, and make this fate so afraid that it will never be able to get close to me!"
After leaving these words, Noah lifted his footsteps and walked up to the second floor.
Looking at Noah's gradually disappearing back, Aozaki Aoko didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he murmured softly.
"You are so gentle..."
Whether it was the "strong man" who stayed where he was or the "gentle man" who had left, neither of them noticed.
In the corridor of the living room, an "awkward person" was standing in the shadows, quietly listening to the conversation of the two cohabitants. (to be continued)
