Mystic Eyes Stolen-Lock Down the Entire Area!!

"Of course, if I say 100%, then it's definitely 100%."

A knowing smile appeared on Rovey's face. He then reached into his pocket and took out a new stack of spell cards, instructing Aoko to stick them all in the more secluded corners of the train the next day, so he could give them a big surprise.

Aoko doesn't need to go to the auction house. The other party has definitely prepared methods targeting the soul; they probably have countless high-level Mystic Eyes, or even the Magic Eyes of Soul Erosion listed on the register. That would indeed be very disadvantageous for Aoko. Therefore, there's no need for her to go on this adventure; she can leave everything to Rovey.

Furthermore, Rovey reminded Aoko that, in addition to him, she could also rely on the priest named Hansa.

Even though the relationship between the Executor and Magus is extremely hostile, when faced with a third type of enemy, even the Executor will temporarily set aside their hostility and cooperate with the Magus. And this so-called third type of enemy will soon be fully revealed.

Now we just need to wait for the time to come.

There was no lengthy explanation; I simply gave Aoko some instructions on what to do next, and that was enough.

Although Aozaki Touko still had many doubts in her heart, she nodded gently and agreed to the plan because of her trust in Rovey.

After all, in this plan, it was Rovey who was taking the risks and dangers. He had almost distanced himself from the situation to ensure her safety to the greatest extent possible.

Although Aoko was somewhat dissatisfied with this and proposed that she should go with him, Rovey rejected her suggestion with two flimsy excuses: that the other party would target her and that no one was outside setting up Magecraft spell cards.

Rovey didn't even give Aoko a chance to refute him. Rovey simply put the four chairs he had dragged in from outside earlier that day together on the ground and then lay down comfortably on them.

"Go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Huh?"

No more than a few years after he finished speaking, Rovey turned his back and stopped talking to Aoko.

"I was wondering why you brought back so many chairs out of the blue. Was it just so you could sleep separately from me?"

Looking at the chair bed that Rovey had cobbled together, Aoko's expression was slightly surprised. Then, the next moment, she said something that made Rovey's stomach hurt.

"You have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share a bed with a beautiful woman, but instead of cherishing it, you deliberately avoid it. Your tastes are really strange."

"That's enough. Do you want to feed the fish?"

"Another one of those threats, huh? Do you still think of me as a little girl? Hey, Crowley, what's wrong with you? You really have absolutely no interest in me? If you hate my current appearance and prefer a loli type, I'm not entirely unwilling to oblige~"

Rovey suddenly opened his eyes.

"You should just shut up... Your ability to spout nonsense is almost on par with your level of demonic cultivation?"

"Oh, is this a compliment?"

Ignoring Aozaki Touko's teasing, Rovey sighed after a while and continued, "First, please remember, I'm really not a lolicon, much less the kind of pervert you're thinking of. Second, I'm also a man, and it's impossible for me not to be attracted to a beautiful woman like you, but I have far more to deal with than you can imagine, so sometimes I can't think about those things."

"Anyway, I know you're worried about me, but you'd better stay out of this. I'll handle it."

"Oh?"

As if she had heard something interesting, Miss Aozaki, who was lying on the bed, suddenly brightened up.

"You mean... you were actually interested in me? Oh my, that's quite flattering, but why do I feel inexplicably happy? Anyway, it's really rare for you to be so frank this time, Crowley."

She clearly ignored the second half of the sentence and only remembered the first half.

"No, you misheard. What you just heard was all your hallucination."

Upon hearing this woman's words, which were as infuriating as those of Merry, Rovey immediately denied what he had just said.

At the same time, I can't help but wonder what kind of eyes I had that I actually fell for this weirdo?

However, Aozaki Touko was clearly not so easy to please.

She wore a thoughtful expression, then touched her lower lip with a finger and said to him with a playful look, "Hey, Crowley, since we still have time tonight, how about we leave a child as a successor? If something really happens to you, your family line will at least have a bloodline to carry on~"

"Roll!"

Aozaki Touko's only response was a pillow that Rovey casually tossed onto her arrogant face.

At this moment, Rovey only felt a dull ache in his temples.

He really regrets it now.

What I regret is not my initial decision, but that I shouldn't have indulged this idiot.

Although this made them seem closer, it also allowed him to experience the stomach pain that should have been Weber's beforehand.

This time, we really should get her sister to come and teach her a lesson...

It's better for them to make each other miserable than to make themselves miserable.

Thinking of this, Rovey remembered that his cloak, which could conceal magical energy, was still with Aoko Aozaki.

When you get back, give her a call and ask her to bring the cloak back. My house is spacious enough for the two sisters to stage "The Witch on the Holy Night 2".

For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly arose in Aozaki Touko's mind. She couldn't help but look at Rovey Wei suspiciously, but at this moment he had already closed his eyes and started to pretend to be asleep, clearly not wanting to pay attention to Aoko anymore.

"... Tch, you really are useless when I give you a chance, you big idiot with lustful thoughts but no guts."

After saying that, Aozaki Touko also crawled into her own bed.

However, Aoko did not notice that shortly after she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Rovey, who was sleeping soundly on his side, suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed across the surface of his dark brown eyes.

At this moment, in the train corridor, a beautiful lady who had been waiting for almost two Tokiomi was starting to get impatient as the person she was supposed to meet still hadn't arrived.

She glanced at the descending dawn outside the window and the sun that was about to fully rise, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

After letting out a soft hum, he returned to his room.

Because she was stood up, her feelings for Rovey suddenly decreased significantly.

'What a rude guy, daring to stand me up...'

'When you fall into my hands, I'll have to teach you a lesson and correct these bad habits...'

Lita opened her bedroom door, clenching her teeth and thinking with a resentful expression.

Chapter 136 The Mystic Eyes is Stolen, the Entire Area is Sealed Off!!

A peaceful and pleasant rest is always too short.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Just as dawn was breaking, a ray of golden sunlight shone through the crack in the train window into Aozaki Touko and Rovey's room.

On the soft, comfortable bed, half-asleep and half-awake, Aozaki Touko had one leg draped over the edge of the bed without any regard for her image, and her head was tilted to the left. In short, she opened her eyes in an extremely unseemly sleeping posture, and then subconsciously looked at the location of Rovey's chair bed on the floor.

However, even though it was only six o'clock in the morning, his figure had already disappeared from the room.

Realizing this, Aozaki Touko, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed without paying attention. Her underwear slipped down from her left shoulder as she sat up in an unseemly position, revealing a large expanse of skin. However, since the room was empty, no one could see this unique sight.

Upon discovering that Rovey had disappeared from the room, Aozaki Touko hurriedly checked her watch, repeatedly confirming that it was just before six o'clock. Furthermore, her physical functions were perfectly fine; she wasn't senile enough to not even notice someone openly leaving the room beside her.

Although she admitted that she was indeed too relaxed in front of Rovey, it was clearly not to the point of letting her guard down to this extent, right? Even if it was because of trust that she was completely unguarded, there should still be a limit, right?

Okay, I really didn't take any precautions at all.

In short, she only slept for three hours, and there must be something fishy about a grown man disappearing silently from her side during those three hours.

So, Aozaki Touko began to think about it seriously.

After confirming that it was impossible for anyone to have sneaked into her room during those three hours and silently abducted Rovey while she was sleeping beside her, the only explanation was that Rovey had deliberately left quietly last night, and must have used some special Magecraft to make it impossible for her to detect.

So... what is that guy planning to do now?

Aozaki Touko felt somewhat puzzled by Rovey's actions, and she really wanted to find that guy and ask him directly to find out the truth.

But where should we look for it?

Just as Aozaki Touko was deep in thought, suddenly—

"Ring ring!!"

Just as it was exactly six o'clock, the alarm clock on the desk went off on time.

Hearing the noisy alarm clock ringing in her ears, her thoughts were immediately pulled back, and her attention was quickly drawn to that direction.

She hopped barefoot to the ground and went to the alarm clock in front of the desk, where sure enough, there was a small note that Rovey had left for her.

[Senior Aoko, I suddenly remembered last night that I had some things to do this morning, so I went out to take care of them first. You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you. However, to prevent you from being late, I set an alarm for 6:00 AM to wake you. Remember to go to the cafeteria before 7:00 AM; I'll be waiting for you there.]

Two unique lines of text caught Aozaki Touko's eye, clearly stating Rovey's current whereabouts.

To ensure that Aoko would believe the note completely, Rovey even used Primordial Runes as markings on many of the symbols on it.

"... What on earth is this guy up to? Why is he being so secretive?"

Examining the label that Rovey had specially left in her hand, Aozaki Touko carefully pondered the information recorded on it. After learning some important information that she wanted to know, she couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Although I don't know what Rovey is up to, since he said he'd meet me at seven o'clock, he must have something he wants to tell me.

Since that's the case, let's go take a look quickly, and then we can ask in person.

Moreover, she remembered that there was a final exhibition this morning.

Moreover, it is said that even the two pairs of gem-level Mystic Eyes mentioned in yesterday's roster will be on display at this exhibition, which can be regarded as the last rehearsal before tonight's auction.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Touko stretched in the morning sunlight streaming through the window, then rubbed her still half-asleep eyes and turned to go into the bathroom to tidy herself up.

Before setting off, she made a special check on the stack of talisman cards, and only after confirming that they were all still there did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He then began to ponder how to arrange these spell cards on the train in the quantity and locations requested by Rovey without so many people noticing.

"This job seems very challenging..."

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At the same time.

On the other side, Rovey completely ignored the resentful look Lita had given him in the corridor half the night before, and sat at the dining table chatting with Lehmann and Hansa, showing no intention of communicating with them at all.

This left Lita in a very unpleasant mood, as she had not only been stood up but had also not received any apology from the other party.

While she certainly didn't need sleep—only lower-level creatures like her needed it—anyone would feel uncomfortable being left out in the hallway for most of the night. She really wanted to teach this ungentlemanly guy Rovey, a lesson right now.

However, considering that the items he had set up were still stored in the exhibition hall, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, only there can one ensure that all plans are completed while minimizing one's own losses.

Although she didn't really value the Rail Zeppelin, it was still a warehouse for storing her many collections. Many things were damaged, and repairing them would be quite a hassle for her.

She remembered the last time, while she was away, that damned Aozaki Touko actually used Rune to blow up the inside of this train. This led to her being ridiculed by White Wing Lord and Eltnum for years. Therefore, this time she was determined to be fully prepared and use her carefully crafted gift to completely repay the humiliation of the past and wash away her shame.

Puppet Magecraft, the Soul Origin, combined to create a unique resurrection ability...?

Hmph, indeed an extremely troublesome Magecraft technique. If we only consider how difficult it is to kill, Aozaki Touko, this Grand Puppet Master, even surpasses many of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors.

However, there is no Magecraft in the world that is truly unsolvable; every trick has its own way of being countered, and that is beyond doubt.

Aozaki Touko's difficulty to kill and her supposed immortality are merely based on the absence of special preparations and methods, not on the conceptual invincibility of Valeciano. With sufficient restraint, killing Aozaki Touko is still possible, and I am undoubtedly a special being capable of acquiring those methods.

Heh, the Soul Origin and Puppet Magecraft... In essence, it's a resurrection program built by replicating souls and preparing bodies.

However, as long as the erosion of your soul itself does not kill you, but disrupts your spell from a remote location, thus putting you in a state of life and death, I wonder if you can still be resurrected by unique means?

'Hmph... So let's wait and see, Aozaki Touko.'

'After all, I've taken out my most treasured gem, the Mystic Eyes, for you. I'm sure your expression will be quite something if you're caught off guard at the auction and get hit by Mystic Eyes directly...'

Thinking of this, Lita, who had been stood up by Rovey for half the night, couldn't help but hum happily to herself.

"Um?"

For some peculiar reason, Hansa's hearing was exceptionally sharp. As he sat opposite her, heartily eating breakfast and chatting with Rovey, Hansa frowned slightly, thinking, "What's wrong with that woman? I have a bad feeling about this..."

He was just about to share his discovery with his partner.

Completely unconcerned, Rovey simply raised a finger and made a special gesture, implying that something good was about to happen. Meanwhile, Lehmann, who was having breakfast with his daughter next to them, was oblivious to the message being conveyed by his two "grandparents" and continued enjoying his meal peacefully.

During this time, for some unknown reason, the little girl named Yvette L. Lehmann deliberately bypassed her father and sat down next to Rovey, even initiating a conversation with him. Her beautiful, sparkling eyes, like those of a jewel, were filled with admiration and longing, and she declared, "I want to become Magus as excellent as my big brother in the future."

This scene left Lehmann, the father sitting beside him, somewhat amused and exasperated. After all, his daughter had never said anything like that to him before. It seemed she really admired Magus as talented as Rovey ...

In response, Rovey Wei simply patted her head and earnestly told her, "Ask your heart what kind of person you want to become. As long as you keep striving for the goal you want to achieve, that's enough." It's a simple truth.

Although Yvette clearly seemed to understand but not quite, I believe she will eventually come to understand this principle.

Even if she couldn't figure it out herself, once she entered Weber's classroom, she would have to pester Weber for answers, and it wouldn't concern her anymore.

Yvette's incident was merely a minor interlude and didn't take up much time. Because of Lehmann's presence, Rovey and Hansa only exchanged simple messages using notes and gestures, and most of what followed was just ordinary banter, which didn't arouse suspicion from others.
