"..."
Aozaki Touko watched Gray go away. After the girl's figure completely disappeared, he turned to look at Kenshin and said with a smile, "Miss Ken, now is free time. Just do whatever you want."
"... I can't think of what to do."
Miss Ken raised her arms and looked at the deserted street. She was silent for a long time and said, "Touko, please get me a temporary teacher's certificate, Clock Tower."
"Okay... I'll send it to you tomorrow."
Aozaki Touko nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Ken, do you have any other requests? Try to make them all at once. Running around is very troublesome."
"... Having the status of a teacher is enough."
Miss Ken glanced at Touko and said quietly, "I still have many questions to ask you about Soul Gem. Why... the side effect of Soul Gem you gave me was gender change, but the side effect of Waver Soul Gem was just a layer of armor?"
In her subjective consciousness...Soul Gem's side effect is to change her gender. Therefore, she is actually quite worried. When the time comes, Waver will use this association to find out her true identity.
After all, her current appearance is still 70% similar to 'Lainis'.
However, when Aozaki Touko said that the side effect was armor, she fell into a state of temporary confusion. It turns out that using Soul Gem can be used without gender conversion.
Then why did Touko give her Soul Gem, which can change her gender?
"... Allow me to quibble."
Aozaki Touko scratched his cheek, turned away and said, "Think about it... wouldn't it be more suitable to hide it by changing gender? Also... this way you have the opportunity to get closer to Sola, right? If you keep your masculine and proud appearance, there is a high probability that Sola will be separated from you."
These words... actually make some sense.
Miss Ken twitched her lips and recalled the past for a while, and found that it was because she became Miss Ken that her relationship with Sola changed. It was as if a wall in the past had disappeared, or it could be said that Sola finally became wary of her.
Moreover, transformation is indeed very helpful in hiding her identity.
"If Miss Ken doesn't like it, you can change it."
Aozaki Touko took out another red gemstone from nowhere and introduced, "The side effect of this gemstone is... the attraction to the same sex will be enhanced in a short period of time after use, and one's own physical strength will also be weakened in a short period of time. As for the strength of the attraction to the same sex... it will be determined by the length of use."
"... these side effects... are actually what you mainly study, right?"
Although she said it in a question, Miss Ken used a positive tone. She now understands one thing... that is, Soul Gem's addition of spellcasting ability may not be the main research direction of Aozaki Touko.
These strange side effects... are what Aozaki Touko studies.
"This is a personal interest... after all, I have nothing to do now."
Aozaki Touko responded honestly and explained, "Actually, I am pursuing some breakthroughs in thinking and hope to get some interesting surprises."
"I... probably understand."
Miss Ken sighed slightly and said helplessly, "Soul Gem doesn't need to be replaced. If it is replaced... there will be a lot of trouble in the future, so let's keep it like this."
"In that case, I'll take my leave, Miss Ken."
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly, turned around and waved his hand, and the figure blurred and disappeared in a few steps.
Seeing this, Miss Ken flipped her golden hair around her ears and turned around to leave the street. She wanted to Independent Action for the rest of the time, and had no intention of following Touko all the time. After all, she was going to see her wife... She couldn't be a light bulb.
Besides... she didn't come to London just to show off her kindness to others.

Just outside London.
In the backyard of a quaint castle.
A beautiful black-haired girl is playing the piano elegantly. The sweet and ethereal sound of the piano is intertwined with the moonlight, and paired with countless white flowers surrounding it, it converges into unparalleled holiness and loneliness, as if the goddess in the Moon Palace is lamenting the loneliness and coldness.
Not far away, Aozaki Touko stood quietly without making any sound.
As if afraid of disturbing this beautiful picture.
Soon, or maybe it took a long time, the last note was played.
The beautiful black-haired girl stopped playing the piano, turned her head and looked at Touko, her red lips parted lightly and said, "Touko, why did you just stay aside honestly this time?"
"Is this... I might disturb the fairy~"
Aozaki Touko said with a gentle smile

Chapter 299 Smell
The next day.
The sky is slightly bright.
Aozaki Touko yawned and climbed up from the bed. She took out a hair tie from Reality Marble and tied her long, messy orange hair into a single ponytail. Then, she turned her eyes to Altrouge, who was sleeping on the bed, like a kitten, and couldn't help but smile softly.
"Ryougi... I'm going out."
She whispered and walked out of the bedroom with gentle steps.
And not long after she left, Altrouge opened his eyes slightly, let out a groan that sounded like a complaint, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again without any intention of getting up.
Last night... I don't know why Touko was so crazy that he could be so violent.
"...Remilia are you up?"
In the aisle, Aozaki Touko asked the maid beside him casually.
"Sorry, Lady Touko~"
The maid bowed slightly and said respectfully, "During this time in London...Princess's schedule has been reversed, and he usually only travels at night."
Originally, Remilia Princess, who had just arrived in London, was traveling during the day, but he didn't know when he was stimulated or something, and suddenly he shouted that appearing at night was in line with the elegance of a vampire.
Therefore, the work and rest time was adjusted to a state of staying up during the day and coming out at night.
To be honest, she actually wanted to explain to Princess that vampires did not appear because of the elegance of the night, but simply because they could not withstand the sun.
And people like Remilia Princess just wander around in the sun,
This is something that vampires are truly envious of.
"This is also in line with the physiological laws of the True Ancestor~"
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly, and then asked, "So... Arcueid should be sleeping with Remilia now, right?"
"Yes, Lady Touko."
The maid nodded slightly.
"In that case... then I'll come back in the evening."
Aozaki Touko swayed, stepped slightly faster, and disappeared into the aisle.
Seeing this scene, the maid lady was a little confused and froze on the spot. She didn't know what to do for a moment. The big man who led the way disappeared while walking.
It was obviously the first time she had encountered this situation... it was a bit indescribably shocking.
"As expected of... the legendary Magic User~"
With some sighs, the maid turned around and left to continue other tasks.
As a strong person who is extremely close to True Ancestor Dead Apostles... but she has no way of recognizing the means of Lady Touko's transfer. Although it looks like Space Transfer at first glance, after a little thought, she will find that it is not the case.
How to describe it... It's like being able to bypass obstacles in the material world and move without resistance.

Clock Tower.
Department of Modern Magecraft, El-Melloi II's classroom.
As usual, the students gathered in the classroom again for class. However, the situation today was a little different. A black-haired girl who claimed to be a freshman came to the classroom.
"Lady Touko... What do you want to do here?!"
Gray sat next to the black-haired girl and whispered, "If you want to find a teacher, I can take you there in person. Classes will start here soon."
"No, I just came here to listen to El-Melloi II's class."
Aozaki Touko tilted his head and explained to Gray, "The teacher who is the most popular among students... I am actually very interested in this."
She didn't come here for any serious reasons, but rather came with a tourist mentality to experience the Magecraft knowledge classes of 'El-Melloi II' with her own eyes. This was something she could not experience in her previous life.
"... I understand."
Gray nodded obediently.
Although the teacher will definitely be very distressed when class comes, but now that Lady Touko has made a decision, she has no way to change it.
After all, she is just an ordinary girl.
"Haha... Long time no see, Aozaki Touko."
Suddenly an old but energetic voice sounded, and then an old woman who looked to be over seventy years old walked into the classroom. She was wearing mainly green clothes, and her wrinkled face gave people a sense of vitality.
"..."
Aozaki Touko glanced at the old woman who walked into the classroom, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "It is indeed quite old. I originally planned to talk to you later, Inorai."
The visitor is 'Inorai·Balgeletta·Atolohom' who is located at the top of Clock Tower, the head of the three nobles Balgeletta, Lord of Department of Creation, a strong Grand Magic master of the color level.
In a real sense...Clock Tower's big shot.
"I am also somewhat interested in El-Melloi II's lectures."
Inorai smiled heartily, walked to Touko, leaned over slightly to look at Gray, and said with a kind smile, "My lovely little girl, your family and I have something to say, can you give us some space?"
"Okay~"
Gray pulled his cloak, picked up the books on the table, and gave up his position obediently. Seeing this, Inorai smiled slightly, walked over to Touko without any courtesy, and said:
"Soon, this generation of Golden Princess and Silver Princess will be born."
"So I went back to London."
Aozaki Touko narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Root's beauty... even I want to appreciate it."
"Do you think this thing... is possible to succeed?"
Inorai asked curiously.
"Um... no."
Very decisively, Aozaki Touko said bluntly, "Of course, I'm not saying that this idea is not possible, it's just that Bailon doesn't have the talent to do it."
It's no lie. In the original work, the creator of Golden Princess and Silver Princess, 'Bailon Baruereta Izuluma', ended up failing because of his lack of ability.
"What cruel words~"
Inorai shook his head slightly, then smiled, "Even so, it is worth collecting as a treasure, isn't it?"
Even if we deny the possibility of success in this matter, we cannot deny the beauty of Golden Princess and Silver Princess. They are so beautiful that it can make people feel trance-like. Even if they are just used as ornamental vases... they still have incomparable value.
"... This cannot be denied."
Aozaki Touko chuckled and said, "The pursuit of beauty is a human instinct, and even I am no exception. Rather, I am actually quite passionate about it."
"About this... I've seen it a long time ago."
Inorai smiled heartily, without any surprise.
She is not disgusted with Aozaki Touko's straightforward expression of desire. In fact, in the world of Magecraft's master, Aozaki Touko's style is actually very harmless and restrained in a sense.
Especially when Aozaki Touko has powers beyond the specifications.

The back row of the classroom.
"Gray... Who is that black-haired lady?"
A blond boy came close to Gray and asked in a low voice, "Being able to chat with a person like Lord must be of great status."
"... an incredible identity."
Gray was silent for a moment and said softly, "It's an incredible identity. It is said that he is Magic User, the former teacher of teacher Waver."
"I see... I can understand it now."
