"... It's really a pretentious thing to say."
Roa replied indifferently, staring at the dark sky indifferently. The terrifying impact had already arrived. Even if Magecraft was used to defend it, it would soon be unable to hold on. It was no longer alive under the force of the collision between heaven and earth.
"I'm just curious."
The female Magic User replied casually, and then there was no more sound.
And the vast palm of the sky also accelerated its falling speed, and soon the world was completely grasped in the palm, crushed like an egg.
And in reality.
Arcueid and Ciel watched Aozaki Touko crush a shrunken planet in his palm, just like crushing a bubble, crushing it easily.
However, the changes that take place during the crushing process are just like a real planet being shattered.
"Roa is dead!"
Chapter 279 Do you want to tell the truth?
"Roa is dead."
Arcueid's beautiful face shone with joy. Part of her power that was usurped by Roa returned. This can also explain Roa's death from the side, otherwise it would be impossible for her power that was taken away to return.
"The matter has been resolved... let's go back."
Aozaki Touko smiled softly and yawned slightly sleepily. She had no suspense about killing Roa. Even if she did not master Third Magic... By establishing a specially targeted Magecraft workshop, she could also suppress Roa's reincarnation ability.
And... in fact, Roa can be tied up and stabbed in front of Ryougi Shiki.
It can definitely end Roa's life cleanly and neatly.
"Um... is there anything else I need to do next?"
On the side, Ciel raised her hand hesitantly. She didn't know how to deal with herself. Should she keep her presence as low as possible, wait for Aozaki Touko and others to leave and find a place to live in seclusion, or choose to go back to... Holy Church and continue her life.
All of these... fell into temporary confusion with the death of Roa.
"... This is it~"
Aozaki Touko turned his head and looked at Ciel, and said with a slight smile, "Just stay with me for a while, and when I think it's enough, then you can go to Tokyo and save the world."
"... I don't have any objection."
Ciel hesitated slightly, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face, "After all, Lady Touko, you brought me to watch Roa die. In return, I am very happy to serve you."
She first expressed her inner inclination, and then spoke out about her practical concerns.
"However, I am affiliated with Gravekeepers, a subsidiary of Holy Church. Will it cause any dispute if I come to work for you at Lady Touko?"
It was no lie. She was very grateful to Aozaki Touko for recruiting her from Gravekeepers and allowing her to witness the death of her enemy Roa. Naturally, she would not mind if she could repay the favor in the form of loyalty.
However, such a straightforward poaching behavior... is simply like a provocation to Gravekeepers,
It would be bad if conflicts arise then.
"Do you think... I would care about this kind of thing?"
Aozaki Touko asked back, "Or... do you think Gravekeepers is worthy of my scruples and dare not take action? It's just a girl who has lost her immortality. This is not a big deal."
"Yes, if they dare to bully Touko!"
On the side, a fierce expression appeared on Arcueid's face, and he said seriously, "Then I will deal with them before they take action, because I will never allow anyone to hurt Touko in front of me!"
Now... after Aozaki Touko squeezed Roa to death, Arcueid's favorability towards Aozaki Touko has skyrocketed. She already had a very high favorability, and now it has directly exceeded the upper limit... reaching a new realm.
Therefore, her words... were not just words.
"... Why does it sound like I'm eating soft food?"
Aozaki Touko put one hand on his waist and said confidently, "I do everything through my own efforts, and I never bother to borrow from others."
This is a lie. In fact, she knows very well how much help she has to get to this point.
To give the simplest example, if Root Shiki did not stand behind her, Counter Guardian would not be so optimistic about her value and judge the possibility of her being able to solve Steel Earth. Even if she wanted to enter Vortex of the Root at Fuyuki City, she would be blocked by Counter Guardian.
However, this does not prevent her from swelling in front of Arcueid.
After all, pretending to be realistic in front of beautiful girls is a pleasure.
"... Since Lady Touko has this confidence, then I will stay and work under you."
Seeing this scene, Ciel smiled and bowed slightly.
She was overthinking just now... There was an existence named Aozaki Touko in front of her, but it was rare to see a top powerhouse in this world, and even to a certain extent, he could indirectly control the entire power of Dead Apostle.
Not to mention, the strength of Aozaki Touko's subordinates cannot be underestimated.
The existence that controls such a huge force wants her, an ordinary girl who has lost her immortality, to solve problems through negotiation of interests, and will not cause conflicts and fights at the slightest disagreement.
Otherwise, if such hierarchical forces break out into conflicts so easily,
It is estimated that stable order in society will not be maintained.
"Well, choose wisely... I'll treat you well."
Aozaki Touko nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Now you can go to Kohaku. She will arrange everything for you. I will go to you when I am free."
"Really, then I won't bother you, Boss Touko."
Ciel bowed politely and left the basement.
Seeing this, Aozaki Touko smiled slightly and was about to take Arcueid out of the basement. However, when she turned around, she found that Arcueid was holding his chin in his slender hand, as if he was thinking about something very important.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Ciel?"
She asked out of curiosity.
"No, it has nothing to do with Ciel."
Arcueid shook his head and asked with some trepidation, "I was thinking... if my sister asks me about the specific process of killing Roa when I get back, should I tell her the truth?"
"..."
Aozaki Touko's face froze slightly, and he asked softly, "Why... you would ask this question?"
"Because... if my sister knew about it, she would be very angry!"
Arcueid turned away his cheek and said softly, "Even I know... I shouldn't be so close to you Touko. This is wrong."
"Is this the information we got from the world?"
Aozaki Touko smiled helplessly, and then said, "However, Arcueid, you know, the so-called agreed rules cannot bind me. If I need... I can even make new rules."
"Does this... do you mean I can tell my sister everything?"
Arcueid seemed to be cute and tilted his head. He had a sinister feeling inexplicably. At least, Aozaki Touko was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said softly, "Let's just talk about part of it... let's just skip the kissing."
"Are you going to hide it all the time, Touko?"
For some reason, Arcueid's voice suddenly became much more mature, and he stroked his red lips with his fingers. "Or...Touko, are you going to explain it to your sister after she gives birth to the child?"
"..."
Aozaki Touko frowned slightly, looked at Arcueid carefully, and found that this was not the rise of consciousness of 'Crimson Moon', or in other words, it was partly influenced by Crimson Moon's will. However, this sentence was essentially asked by Arcueid to her.
So, she smiled slightly and said softly:
"... I will discuss this matter with Ryougi."

Chapter 280: Physical examination?!
Tohno Family living room.
When Aozaki Touko stepped inside, he found Tohno Akiha sitting on the sofa, making black tea with a solemn demeanor. His cold face showed no expression at all, giving him a sense of alienation.
In this spacious living room... the girl was the only one sitting quietly alone. There were no maids around, and there were no clan members here.
It's like... there is only one Tohno Akiha in the whole world.
"Qiuye... it turns out you are in the living room."
"Hmm... I feel like this is a more suitable place to entertain Sister Touko."
Tohno Akiha turned to Touko and smiled slightly, a hint of warmth appeared on his cold pretty face. Seeing this, Aozaki Touko smiled slightly, walked lightly to Qiuye and sat down, picked up the black tea and took a sip, and said softly, "Tohno Shiki... has completely disappeared."
"Sorry to trouble you, Sister Touko~"
Very plainly, Tohno Akiha nodded slightly.
"Qiuye, I am the one who killed your parents."
Aozaki Touko drank the black tea in one gulp and said with a chuckle, "Even if there is a legitimate reason, don't you have any dissatisfaction? If you hate it..."
"No, Sister Touko!"
Tohno Akiha firmly interrupted Touko. She shook her head slightly, picked up the teapot on the table, filled it with tea for Touko, and said softly, "If one day... I can't suppress Inversion Impulse, sister Touko, I hope to die by your hands."
Her voice was soft but serious.
One day in the future, maybe she can no longer suppress Inversion Impulse, and will become a demon-like existence. Judging from her talent and strength, maybe no one Tohno Family can execute her.
Moreover, if I had to choose, it would be more peaceful to die in the hands of Touko.
"..."
Aozaki Touko raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile, "Rather than accepting the reality with sadness, I am more inclined to change the future to what I like."
She stared at the autumn leaves beside her, her eyes flashing with amazing determination.
"Qiuye, I don't like you leaving my side, so I won't let you Inversion Impulse!"
It's not a lie. The reason why she continues to pursue the improvement of strength is not to have more choices and to be able to choose the desired results according to her own will when facing the future.
This is what she has been working towards, and now she has the ability to say 'no' to most undesirable results.
"..."
Tohno Akiha smiled helplessly and explained, "Sister Touko...Inversion Impulse is not a disease. It is more likely to be a physiological defect of the Tono clan. There is no way to treat it."
Although she had heard that Sister Touko was a world-famous miracle doctor, she was helpless in the face of this physiological defect rooted in her bloodline, unless Sister Touko could modify her bloodline... and program it to fill in this defect.
However, things of this magnitude... are already the domain of gods.
"Um... Akiye, are you looking down on me?"
Aozaki Touko puffed up his cheeks as if he was angry, and explained, "I am Magic User... Magic User who entered Vortex of the Root is an existence that is no different from a god in the age of gods. It is not easy to reverse Inversion Impulse."
"... I don't know much about these Magecraft knowledge concepts."
Tohno Akiha looked away slightly and said softly, "However, I still know some of the concept of Magic User from sister Azu, so I believe you can do it, sister Touko."
Although she has known Kuonji Alice, Aozaki Touko and others since she was a child, she still knows the secrets of Magecraft's world and the rules that cannot be leaked. Therefore, although they spend a lot of time together... she does not overly explore this knowledge.
In fact, if Aozaki Aoko hadn't inherited Fifth Magic... and accidentally heard some explanations from Aoko during a gathering,
She also couldn't clearly understand the existence of Magic User.
"It seems I don't need to explain~"
Aozaki Touko picked up the tea cup and took a sip, glanced at Qiuye and said, "However, even Magic User can't make his wishes come true. You still need your cooperation during the treatment process."
"Sister Touko, how do you want me to cooperate?"
Tohno Akiha nodded of course, and was not surprised by what Sister Touko said. After all, Inversion Impulse was rooted in her bloodline. It would definitely not be an easy task to solve this problem.
You can't... just snap your fingers and give her a new body to get rid of Inversion Impulse.
"Hmm... I want to think about what to do~"
Aozaki Touko raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling, thinking thoughtfully, "First of all... I need to have a detailed understanding of Qiuye's body. Let's go to your room to study it tonight."
"Sister Touko... don't you plan to go back tonight?"
Tohno Akiha The focus is a bit subtle.
"Well... I'm not going back."
Aozaki Touko licked the green hair next to her ear with her slender hand, and said with a smile, "No matter what, today's situation is not suitable for leaving Qiuye alone overnight. As Qiuye's eldest sister, I plan to comfort you with my warm heart."
"..."
Hearing this, Tohno Akiha subconsciously looked at Touko's chest, and suddenly realized that Sister Touko's mind is indeed very broad, enough to be considered a big breast. If you use this mind to comfort you, it will indeed be very... warm~
