Three Hundred and Forty-Nine Nights of Wizards and Magicians
??? (Thank you very much for the 10,000 reward from 'Evenel'! And the reward from 'I am Small Arms'!)
That night…
In the sound of Jingyi's footsteps, Noah slowly walked down the stairs and came to the lobby of the building.
This is Noah's favorite place.
Not for anything else, just because there is a glass skylight on the ceiling at the top of the place. Whether it is in the morning or at night, the sun or moonlight shining in the hall through the skylight will give people a sense of beauty and enjoyment.
Therefore, Noah likes this place very much. He will stay here whenever he has nothing to do, bathe in the sun or moonlight, and enjoy the rare and peaceful atmosphere.
It has been about ten days since Shizuki Sojuro left the mansion.
During this time, Noah and Aozaki Aoko returned to school and continued to live the lives of ordinary people.
That is also natural.
Excluding the time spent together in the mansion, Shizuki Sojuro's memories of Noah are only a few occasional meetings and a few innocuous conversations.
Now that this memory in the mansion has been erased, with Shizuki Sojuro's dull head, Noah can't even occupy a place in his memory that can't even be called a corner. He is a thoroughly ordinary classmate .
In this regard, Noah has no regrets. He and Shizuki Kusaojuro are just nodding acquaintances, not friends, and he can save Shizuki Kusaojuro's life for the sake of such a relationship. Not letting him die in the hands of Cang Qi Qing Zi and You Zhu is considered pretty good.
On the contrary, Tobimaru, Noah still has some feelings for him.
therefore. Noah also told Tomaru that he was about to apply to drop out of school and leave Misaki City. Say good-bye.
Today, Aozaki Aoko and Yuzu's injuries have basically recovered with the help of the "healing" "rune magic" and the two girls' respective "magic seals".
In other words, the time for Noah to leave has also come.
Tonight will be Noah's last time in the mansion.
Under such circumstances, the first thing Noah thought of was to go to the lobby of the mansion,
Enjoy the soft moonlight one last time.
To Noah's surprise, when he came down from upstairs, someone had already arrived in the lobby on the first floor.
As Noah expected, the soft and beautiful moonlight shines from the skylight, like a beautiful snow scene. Light up the entire lobby of the mansion.
And under the moonlight bathing, the beautiful black girl who is so beautiful as to remind people of dolls and dolls is sitting on the ground in a casual posture, leaning on the stove, as if she has no breath of life at all, and falls asleep quietly .
That beautiful scene was exactly the same as the one that Noah saw by chance when he first entered the mansion.
However, compared with that time, Noah and Youzhu no longer live together purely for the sake of interests.
This made Noah's gaze at the sleeping girl soft and serene.
At the beginning, not only could it not be said to be friendly because of the relationship with Youzhu. It can be called bad reason, the first time I saw Youzhu sleeping in the hall, Noah didn't choose to wake her up.
This time, Noah also didn't think about waking Youzhu up. But he didn't turn a blind eye anymore.
Looking back, Noah walked up the stairs again and returned to the second floor. Go in the direction of your own room, and wait until it appears again. There is already an extra quilt in my hand.
"rustle…"
Amidst the rubbing sound of the cloth, Noah covered the sleeping Youzhu with his own quilt. Looking at Youzhu's overly beautiful face, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to caress the bangs on Youzhu's forehead.
When we first met, Noah thought Youzhu was a pure magician who lacked emotion, and was even completely cold-blooded.
But after getting along for more than a month, Noah got to know the real Youzhu.
The indifference and ruthlessness on the surface are just the girl's decoration, and it's the pure blood of the witch's blood in the girl's body that's causing trouble.
In fact, Youzhu is not only a very awkward person, but also haggles over some trivial matters from time to time, and even loses his temper because of it.
It seems that Youzhu lacks feelings, but in fact, Youzhu has richer inner feelings than anyone else.
He doesn't say it on the surface, but Noah can see that Youzhu really attaches great importance to Qingzi Aozaki, and also has feelings for Chengzi Aozaki who has been together for more than ten years.
Youzhu will always use the principles of a magician to strictly demand herself, but in fact, it's just because she doesn't want to live up to the talent and legacy her mother left her.
This is Kuonji Yuju.
An existence that seems to have no feelings, but is actually very sensitive to feelings.
Isn't such a young girl worthy of the love and affection of others?
After Noah covered Youzhu with the quilt and smoothed the bangs on his forehead, a footstep appeared behind Noah.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Noah can also tell who the person is without guessing or sensing ability to detect the person's breath.
"Are you still asleep?".
Hearing Noah's greeting without looking back, Aozaki Qingzi paused, then recovered, came behind Noah, looked at the quilt on Youzhu, and pouted.
"You really can't learn a lesson."
Aoko Aozaki was referring to the fact that it was the first time Noah saw Yuju falling asleep here.
At that time, Aozaki Aoko also warned Noah, letting Noah know that Yuzu would also care about the opposite sex seeing her sleeping appearance.
Now, Aoko Aozaki was referring to the same thing that Noah saw Youju's sleeping appearance.
"Is there anything wrong?". Noah turned around and sat down next to Yuzu who was in a deep sleep, leaning on the stove, raised his head, looked at Aozaki Aoko's beautiful face under the moonlight, and smiled dumbly.
"Even if it is found out, with Youzhu's character, it's just a few days of sulking, the worst is a fight, I don't mind being with her."
"Only you, a guy who can defeat and subdue even the mutants of the "Phantasy Species", can say such a thing. I don't want to see Yuzu who is planning to go to war for a trivial matter again." Shi Aozaki Aoko Shi Ran said this, and sat down beside Noah.
A man and two women just leaned against the non-functioning stove, one was covered with a quilt, and fell into a deep sleep, while the other two raised their heads at the same time, staring at the moonlight shining from the skylight, and no one spoke for a while .
It didn't take long for Aozaki Aoko to break the silence first.
"Are you going to leave tomorrow?".
Noah was not at all surprised that Aoko Aozaki saw through his plan, and nodded.
"Your injuries are healed, and your sister's matter has come to an end. Not only have I found what I was looking for, but I also have a powerful "Familiar", although it is a pity that "Avalon ()" is gone. , but I can’t delay the business because of this, I have to go on the next journey.”
"Journey...?". Aoko Aozaki's pale eyes staring at the moonlight began to flicker.
"So, you have traveled to many places?"
"It's a lot, right?" Noah couldn't help but smile when recalling the past.
"I have been to a place where monsters are everywhere, where the human situation is in jeopardy, and I have also been to a school where weird powers are studied, and I feel nostalgic when I think about it."
"It's interesting to think of the places you've been to." Aoko Aozaki seemed to have some interest, turned his head, faced Noah, and asked curiously.
"In such a special environment, did you do anything meaningful?"
"Is there?" Noah was drawn into memory by Aoko Aozaki's question, and quietly began to tell.
"In that place full of monsters, although the situation of human beings is precarious, they extremely reject a group of children who can compete with those monsters. I established a shelter there, took in those children, and talked with those adults. Had a lot of fights."
"Bullying children? What kind of skill is that?" Aoko Aozaki frowned, then continued to ask with interest.
"and then?"
"Then, I also met a group of companions in the school that studied strange powers, but the theme there was combat technology, so I would have the opportunity to duel with my companions every day." Speaking of this, Nuo Ya laughed.
"However, the teacher there tried to hurt my companion once, so I had a fight with the teacher there and beat her to the ground."
"Fight with the teacher? And then? Anything else interesting?".
"What else..."
Noah and Aozaki Aoko, who were immersed in one interesting topic after another, didn't see it, and Youzhu's eyelids began to tremble aside. (to be continued...)
