My First Kiss Is Gone!! (Continued)

A familiar aura slowly emerged behind him, and the magic power attached to the Rune that possessed the ability to conceal themselves dissipated.

The person standing there speaking was a tall, slender beauty, wearing a white shirt, a thin summer sweater, and a black pleated skirt. Her waist-length red hair and her already mischievous and lively eyes were now filled with a playful charm.

"Well, it's Aoko- senpai... Since you're in my house, please don't use Rune, okay? It would be terrible if you accidentally became my enemy."

Despite saying that, Rovey didn't show any signs of wariness at all, and greeted him in the same tone as usual.

If it really was an enemy, then he has thousands of ways to kill him in the moment before he is about to launch an attack.

"It's just a trial. I've already learned almost half of the original runes, and I just wanted to use this one on you to test it out. It seems to be working really well."

"Yes, specializing in one type of Magecraft can lead to extremely high achievements."

Rovey smiled but didn't say anything. The two of them had already reached a tacit understanding that they didn't need to say much more about Aoko.

However, Aoko did not stop talking because of Rovey's silence. She slowly walked to Rovey's side and accompanied him to look at the golden sunrise and the world that was now different from before.

"Well, is this the plan you've been talking about? Is this what you wanted to see?"

"... Can you understand?"

"Pretty much. Although I don't understand your doomsday theory, since Aiwass said so, it must be true. Ugh... the end of the world, that really makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it. But, compared to that, I think I understand you a little better now, and I roughly understand why you've always been running forward with all your might. Although there are still many people who don't understand, I want to thank you for your long-term efforts, savior."

"It's not over yet, don't act like it's a happy ending."

"Idiot, of course I know that."

Aozaki Touko smiled gently, turning to look at Rovey. The morning sun shone on her, bathing her in a golden glow, making her appear like a sun goddess radiating light before Rovey.

"But when I think about what you've done, you idiot, and how you've taken care of me, even saved me, I can't help but say 'thank you' to you."

"Redemption... Actually, I changed your fate too, even without me you..."

Rovey was about to say something, but Aozaki Touko stuck her fingertip to his lips.

"I don't believe in parallel worlds or your so-called original timeline. I only believe what I see. Don't tell me that even without you, someone else would still stand up for me. At least the person I see is you, and the person who sacrificed for me is you, you idiot."

Ignoring the bewilderment in Rovey's eyes, Aoko's face revealed a triumphant smile.

"If it weren't for you, someone else would have saved it. Even if I hadn't met you, I could have been very happy. You were just a changer who disrupted the predetermined fate. You shouldn't take credit for it. Is that what you meant?"

"..."

"Don't tell me the right future, and don't tell me the ending of a parallel world. Right now, the person I care about is you, and the person I love is you, Crowley. So, you idiot, don't worry about anything else, just keep moving forward as much as you can, and do your best to create a future that is uniquely yours."

"Seriously... you really make my heart flutter, Aoko- senpai. I never knew you had this side to you."

Rovey shook his head slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and then suddenly asked, "So, Senior Aoko, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"Um?"

This question made Aoko pause for a moment, but she quickly looked away from Rovey and turned her gaze back to the rising sun.

"What do you think I'll answer you? A perverted lolicon? Or a genius who changed the world of magic? Or some lone savior? I've already answered you. You are a unique person, someone with a special kind of attraction. It is precisely because of that attraction that I am willing to stay by your side."

"What a unique person... This is the first time I've ever heard someone give this answer."

Upon receiving this unusual answer, a look of relief appeared on Rovey's face. "I'm leaving, Aoko. I've seen the sights here. I won't be moved a second time. These three little girls will catch a cold if they continue to sleep here. I have an advancement exam today, so I need to go and prepare."

"Wait a moment."

"Um?"

Just as Rovey was about to get up and take the three sleeping girls next to him back to their room, Aoko strode up to Rovey, leaned down and gave him a sly smile.

"Actually... I have something more important to tell you, come closer."

Aozaki Touko reached out and casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Before Rovey could speak, but before he could react, Aoko suddenly leaned forward.

"You want to... Waaah?!"

His words were immediately cut off, and Rovey, whose mind went blank for a moment, suddenly realized that his lips seemed to be imprinted with some warm and moist strange sensation.

Moreover, it wasn't just what was printed on that guy...

She actually stuck out her tongue!! She even pressed her tongue down.

Although Reines had secretly kissed him not long ago, it was just a kiss on the cheek while he was sleeping, and he thought it was quite cute so he didn't expose her. However, Rovey never expected to find himself here...

"Alright, thank you for the hospitality. Now you have my mark on you."

Instinctively, I raised my hand to push Aoko's shoulder back, but Aoko moved away faster, with a few glistening drops of light still on her lips.

Under Rovey's astonished gaze, Aozaki Touko laughed happily.

"Don't look at me like that. It's your fault for being so indifferent and keeping your distance from me before. You should feel more relaxed now, right? Since that's the case, I won't let this opportunity slip by, so of course I'll take the initiative~"

"Reines? Heh, she's just a little girl. By the time she's old enough to compete with me, I'll have already snatched you away."

As if making a victory declaration, Aozaki Touko spoke smugly to Rovey, then glanced at Reines, who was fast asleep in Rovey's arms, her eyes full of disdain, as if to say, 'You're utterly weak.'

"See you at noon then, I'll be waiting for you at the Clock Tower."

Aozaki Touko blinked, then tossed her beautiful long red hair. After doing all this, she chose an extremely unethical method, which was...

They kissed and ran away—it was so exciting!

In the end, only Rovey was left sitting there, holding the girl in his arms, his face a mess.

'I... I've lost my innocence?!'

But...

'It feels pretty good too.'

At noon, the Clock Tower.

Although the promotion exam has been skipped, the final ceremony still requires the individual's presence.

Of course, no one would dare say anything even if he didn't go.

However, doing so would undoubtedly bring the rest of the magical organizations, who wanted to witness Aiwass and verify the truth of the matter, into his home, which would be counterproductive. He didn't have the habit of bringing such a bunch of shady characters into his home, so he deliberately showed himself at the Clock Tower.

Aozaki Touko, who had been waiting for him there, acted as if nothing had happened the night before, and took his arm directly. She then walked in hand in hand with Rovey, attracting the attention of many Magus along the way.

Even Aiwass, who was strolling in the sky, couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression after seeing this scene.

As a matter of course, they walked in on the red carpet and were in the first position. Even the designated chief of this generation could only silently retreat to the back at this moment.

When they saw Rovey and Aozaki Touko enter together once again, many veteran Magus who had lived for many years couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, and some even had tears in their eyes.

Heaven has not abandoned this era. First, Aozaki Touko replicated the two lost Magecraft disks and reached the Grand Rank. Then, a new generation of Blue Magician was born. Now, Rovey has truly recreated the miracle of the gods of the past with his own strength, allowing real angels to walk on this world again, causing the return of mystery. More importantly, that god actually came from the Clock Tower region.

At this moment, everyone could sense the unusual events taking place in London, a harbinger of the return of the Age of Gods. If this continued, and with the guidance of the angels, each of them could potentially achieve accomplishments unimaginable in the past.

There were definitely more than a few Magus who shared this sentiment; almost all of Magus cheered for the arrival of this angel. They didn't really care that a truly insurmountable mountain had appeared above them, after all, the sky above them was simply too low...

So low they could not fly, so low they could not breathe, so low their limits had long been locked. They could only crawl, studying the demonic path restricted by the times, barely surviving like ants.

Now, the appearance of a higher being has broken their limits, giving them the opportunity to get closer to the Mari. At this moment, the problem that has plagued the Magecraft World for a hundred years has been solved with the appearance of Aiwass.

As for the promotion ceremony, it was originally supposed to be held in the entire Department of General Fundamentals, since that is the real auditorium.

However, because the recent buzz has been so intense, Magus from all over the world have come, so the Department of Law had to build an open-air venue that could accommodate everyone in just three days on the wasteland near the Clock Tower.

Although the place was incredibly shabby due to time constraints, no one cared. All they wanted to see today was to see the revived miracle, Rovey, and the real miracle Aiwass.

"Looks like I'm quite popular. There's no requirement at all, yet so many people have come. And it seems like quite a few female students are handing me love letters? Hmm, it seems I've really become famous on the world stage."

Walking on the red carpet, Rovey glanced around and teased Aoko, who was holding his arm.

He looked at the packed seats, which reminded him of the stands at a football match—it was truly spectacular beyond imagination.

"What do you think? After all, you did something like that. This is already the bare minimum. If it weren't for the Department of Law restricting Magus, the number would probably triple and still not be able to stop it."

Aoko couldn't help but sigh, there were indeed too many people. When she was promoted to the Grand Rank, the number of people was less than a quarter of what it is now.

"However, there are some unfamiliar faces... Even the Executor is here. Isn't that the member of the Burial Agency we saw on the train? So he's here to check on things too?"

"It's not just the Church, but also the Atlas Institute, the Wandering Sea, and even the Dead Apostle. They've all come here to gather intelligence, since you've truly shattered the order of the mystical world this time."

This time, it was Kenneth rushed over to greet Rovey and his group.

At this moment, he undoubtedly looked radiant with joy.

Previously, because of what this kid did, things escalated to the highest levels, causing a great deal of unpleasantness between the master and disciple. But now...

The other party not only resolved the issue but also created such a huge surprise that all Lord now automatically defer to him, and both Aristocratic Faction and democrats have to take the initiative to curry favor with him, making him not only proud but also incredibly wealthy recently.

Given this situation, what else could he do? Of course, he had to forgive him!

Even the traitor he had initially called a disciple immediately became a good disciple.

"Oh, Atlas Institute, Tzvia is indeed getting restless. I remember he still owes me a technical consultant, and he hasn't paid up after all this time."

"The Wandering Sea is not hard to understand. After all, those madmen are seeking the Age of Gods, and what I am returning to now is the Age of Gods. Anyone with a brain can realize that London will truly return to its former glory in a few months. They are probably here to find me or Aiwass, right?"

As he walked, Rovey analyzed the situation to Kenneth.

"Heh, they're just a bunch of lunatics who imprisoned themselves in an attempt to return to the past. Even if they come knocking, it's no big deal. Now that you and Aiwass are here, the Clock Tower is really confident. They absolutely can't cause any trouble here."

At this point, Kenneth snorted coldly, his words filled with disdain. Now, their positions and those of the Wandering Sea had completely reversed.

"Moreover, their purpose in coming here this time is probably to abandon Northern Europe and relocate to this new land that has returned to the Age of Gods."

"Is the Clock Tower really that big? Hmm... Oh, I see."

Just as Rovey was having some doubts, he suddenly remembered his plan with Aiwass.

They relocated all the ordinary people in the London area and then used the land returned to the Age of Gods to transform it into a true Mage's Association, a magical city designed to fight against the future.

So...

Although He always seems uninterested, isn't He more concerned than anyone else?

Is this the start of issuing commands to the Clock Tower?

That really is reliable; I just wonder what the Dean and the Jewel Magician are feeling right now.

They probably won't care, after all, isn't the emergence of Aiwass a brand new future?

"Go on up, Rovey, keep your spirits up, don't tarnish your reputation."

After walking with Rovey for a while, Kenneth suddenly spoke up.

At that moment, the emcee standing on the stage was calling out his name, accompanied by a tidal wave of applause.

"I understand, it will definitely bring you a different kind of surprise,"

Rovey straightened his clothes, and then, under Kenneth's increasingly suspicious gaze, slowly released Aoko's hand. He then smiled slightly at her as she leaned down and said, "Okay, let go for now. I'll be right back."

"Okay, do your best, big star, see you tonight."

After speaking, Rovey responded with a faint laugh, then walked alone towards the highest podium.

At that moment, he undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Hansa, one of the representatives of the Church, dropped the piece of bread from his mouth when he saw Rovey, while Dawn, Melanie Solomon, Ciel and others nearby also focused their attention on the thorny scar on his head.

The most devout Dawn naturally knew what that meant, and then he turned around and asked them, "A saint?"

Ciel and Hansa exchanged a strange glance.

They couldn't recall that he had Command Spells on his head just a month ago.

Tzvia, accompanied by a purple-haired girl beside him, stared intently at the figure, muttering, "Amazing, truly amazing... Reviving the Age of Gods, uniting the power of the entire world to fight against annihilation, hahaha, is this the answer you've given?"

"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Let's bring them all up together!"

A hint of joy and madness crept onto his face.

A black-haired girl watching from the crowd also had a thoughtful look in her eyes when she saw Rovey Wei take the stage.

She spoke up, "... Is it him? The one who revived the divine miracle? He does look very much like the image those religious fanatics are obsessed with. If we kill him..."

"Won't things get interesting?"

"Princess, please don't get agitated."

"There are too many Burial Agency and Magus present. It would be troublesome if we were discovered."

Noticing their princess's wicked sense of humor, the two knights beside her said nervously.

Splash...

As I walked through the crowd and stepped onto the platform, the applause grew louder, and my view suddenly opened up.
