Aozaki Touko walked to the end of the path and looked at the familiar witch Western Mansion, and the beautiful black-haired girl standing quietly in front of the door.
Wearing a black dress, she stared at Touko outside the fence.
This scene is like a wife waiting for her husband to come home. Although there are no words, it unexpectedly makes people feel warm.
Some impetuous hearts suddenly calmed down.
"... I'm back, Azu."
Aozaki Touko gently held the hair beside his ears with his bare hands and showed a touching smile. Then, he saw Azu standing in front of the door and nodded slightly, making a small 'hmm' sound.
That cold pretty face showed a heart-warming smile.
"Welcome back, Touko."
Chapter 526 Demon God
"Well... I miss you so much, Azu~"
As if acting like a spoiled child, Aozaki Touko held Azu tightly in her arms, just to express her feelings of missing her. However, a petite figure suddenly appeared behind the door, which made her swallow back what she wanted to say.
She was a cute girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with long wavy blond hair and eyes shining like emeralds. However, her right eye was wearing a black eyepatch as if she was suffering from a middle-aged child. Her clothing was also very eye-catching. She wore a black three-point leather coat with an open front fur coat and a wide witch-style hat.
She stared quietly at Touko outside the door, her green eyes filled with scrutiny.
Although there were no words, there was a suffocating pressure, and even breathing became difficult, as if her existence was more majestic and sacred than anything else.
This was in sharp contrast to her petite body.
(... I don't want to see you at this time.)
Aozaki Touko couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The girl who suddenly appeared was Othinus. She was the demon god born in this world. She had the power to subvert all laws. She could easily destroy the world and reshape it easily. She could control life, old age, illness and death, time, space and fate at will.
And she came to this world just to become a being like the Demon God.
"... Do you recognize me with this expression?"
Othinus tilted her head in confusion. She saw that Touko was shocked for a moment. It was not the shock of meeting for the first time, but rather the shock of meeting someone you shouldn't have seen.
However, she was certain that she had never seen Touko.
"Ha... who knows." Aozaki Touko chuckled, with a calm expression, "Sometimes, secrets make people more attractive. If you want to know, you have to wait until we become friends who can share secrets."
Although she was briefly stunned for a moment, she immediately judged that the current Othinus should still be in a state of giving up the power of the demon god, and had not become the infinitely powerful demon god again.
In other words, she doesn't need to worry much now.
"Hmph, boring."
Othinus snorted arrogantly, then turned around and left in disdain. However, she did show a little interest in Aozaki Touko, but of course it was only a little interested.
Most of this interest is due to Azu.
"..." Aozaki Touko let go of Azu in his arms and asked with a subtle expression, "Azu, how did that girl get involved with you?"
"How did you get involved?" Kuonji Alice blinked his black eyes, supported his chin with his delicate hand and said, "Actually, when I went out to look for you, I was discovered by Othinus when I was using Magecraft. She was somewhat interested in my Magecraft, and also gave me some guidance on how to better use the power of Magecraft."
She tilted her head slightly and looked towards the entrance.
"Probably because we need each other, Othinus stayed by my side and taught me how to use Magecraft's power more rationally. He can be regarded as my teacher in this world."
It's no lie. When she came to this world, she found that most of her Magecraft methods failed and she was in an extremely weak state. However, fortunately, some familiars were still able to use them, including her Mystic Eyes, which can be regarded as having quite good self-protection power.
As for later, when she was searching for Touko, she happened to meet Othinus who was traveling, and she was immediately aware of the incompatibility of her Magecraft system, and was also aware that... her body was not in harmony with the humans in this world.
This aroused Othinus's curiosity, so he tentatively guided her Magecraft, and easily taught and corrected her Magecraft's incompatibility with the world. The amount of mysterious knowledge she revealed was staggering.
So, just like that... they were guided by each other and learned to get along with each other.
"Yeah, it's... what a coincidence."
Aozaki Touko smiled helplessly. If she had waited until she became a demon, she would have been very interested in playing with Othinus, but now she has no intention of doing so.
The demons of this world are like imprisoned people.
They are naturally full of strong desire for the existence outside the prison. If there is a glimmer of hope to escape from the prison at this time, then they will devote 100% enthusiasm.
To be honest, she was a little worried about being captured by a group of demon gods to watch and study.
However, fortunately, 'Root Shiki' promised that he could sneak into the world of A Certain Magical Index without attracting the attention of the demon gods.
Judging from the results, it did not attract the attention of the demon gods.
However, I still encountered an absent demon god.
"Are you very concerned about Othinus?"
Kuonji Alice asked coldly. She had grown up with Touko since she was a child, and was extremely familiar with everything about Touko. Naturally, she captured the brief flash of emotional fluctuations.
"... This." Aozaki Touko crossed his arms and looked serious, "Maybe... maybe... maybe, I can't beat Othinus."
"Yeah, that's really good." Kuonji Alice smiled, "I remember you used to say things like this only when you faced your grandfather."
In another world, Touko continues to grow and climb until it reaches an unprecedented peak, enters Vortex of the Root and becomes immortal Third Magus, and then saves the world and becomes the savior.
This is a dazzling achievement, but it also means that the path forward from Touko has become narrower. However, there is a new peak in this world.
This also means that... Touko has more room for improvement.
"Probably the old fighting spirit has been rekindled."
Aozaki Touko smiled, raised his hand and walked into the house holding Azu's delicate hand.
It is undeniable that this world makes her feel excited, and her silent heart feels active, just like going back to the time when she stayed in her grandfather's cave to study Magecraft.
*
Late at night.
In the sunroom of the Western Mansion.
Aozaki Touko flipped through the notes left by Azu, reading in detail the information on how Azu modified his Magecraft system to adapt to this world,
I have to say that it is indeed the notebook of the great witch Azu.
Even for Touko it is very helpful.
"... You are even more abnormal than Azu."
Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice came.
Aozaki Touko's hand while flipping through the notes paused slightly, and his eyes turned to the side and Othinus suddenly appeared. Her delicate and pretty face was expressionless, and her green eyes revealed a trace of curiosity.
She felt...Touko revealed that the sense of disobedience was much deeper than Azu.
If you want to describe this feeling, it is like a drop of ink suddenly appearing on a piece of white paper, which is extremely inconsistent and eye-catching.
Of course, only Othinus, who was once a demon god, could detect this sense of incongruity.
As for the other beings... I just think Touko is a little special.
Chapter 527: You want to pick me up!
"I don't deny this."
Aozaki Touko smiled, put his delicate hand gently on his chest, and said, "The so-called abnormalities in this world are only limited to the limitations of one's own cognition. When you get to know me better... you won't have such thoughts."
"..."
Othinus seemed to be aroused, and looked at Aozaki Touko a little more seriously. This woman and Jiuyuan Shi Azu have completely opposite personalities. If Aozaki Touko is the shining sun in the sky, then Azu, the long-lasting poem, is the cold moon. They are very different... but very consistent.
"Did you see anything?" Aozaki Touko shrugged slightly and said with a smile, "If you can't see it, don't worry, we still have a lot of time to get to know each other slowly."
"I never said... I would stay here forever."
One-eyed girl said so.
She almost understood the Magecraft system of Jiuyuan Shi Azu, and used the devil's knowledge to give some suggestions. She also almost understood the operating logic of the Magecraft system, and had no reason to stay here.
Even if she leaves Western Mansion tonight, it won't be a surprise.
"But I want you to stay here?" Aozaki Touko smiled and tilted his head, looking at the indifferent One-eyed girl. "I am very interested in you. If you can stay... I will be very happy."
"Is it because of the power of the devil?"
One-eyed girl asked indifferently. If this human woman is interested in her, the most likely reason is that she desires the power of the devil. She can deduce this without even thinking about it.
He just wanted to get the way to become a demon god from her.
"No, that's not the case." Unexpectedly, Aozaki Touko shook his head, "If it is to become a demon... I will be able to do it sooner or later, even if I don't learn from you."
As she spoke, she stared at One-eyed girl with a serious expression.
"I am very interested in the person 'Othinus', so I want to know you better. Of course, I also hope that you will be more willing to know me better."
"I see, you want to pick me up!"
Suddenly, One-eyed girl said something astonishing, with a clear and beautiful voice that conveyed a sense of certainty. Although she was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, she was also Wisdom God of the Nordic Throne, who could easily look past the surface to see through the essence of things. Even if Aozaki Touko said something very euphemistic, she could easily decipher the true meaning.
"... Well, I don't deny this."
Aozaki Touko was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. She acted very calmly, which was the calmness of her own desires, and she was not shy about it.
"You... are really brave!"
One-eyed girl stared at Touko, and she unexpectedly found that Touko was very courageous. However, she felt that this courage was used in the wrong place. If this courage was used to punch the devil, then she would instead admire the will of mortal things.
However, this pursuit of the devil... I don't know whether to admire or ridicule him.
However, I have to say that she is more interested in Touko.
After all, such an existence is really rare.
"Then why don't you give it a try." Aozaki Touko leaned closer to Othinus's pretty face, "It must be very interesting to see if a mortal can successfully pursue the devil?"
"..."
Othinus raised her head slightly, looking at the pretty face close at hand, and smelled the faint body fragrance on the tip of her nose. As long as she moved forward a little, her lips would meet with Aozaki Touko's.
However, she didn't feel any panic.
"I have no reason to agree. This is not good for me, but it is a sure profit for you. Moreover, you are really too weak."
It's not a lie, for her, as long as she regains the position of Demon God, she can easily distort the existence of Aozaki Touko, just like a person scrawling on the canvas at will.
In a word, the weight of Aozaki Touko is too light.
"Didn't I tell you," Aozaki Touko took a sip of black tea, "I will be able to become a demon sooner or later... and stand in the same position as you."
Saying this, she shook her head helplessly.
"However, even if I say this, it doesn't make sense. If I can't do it before... it's just a big lie."
"...Indeed."
One-eyed girl nodded coldly, stared at Touko with cold green eyes, and said, "I have no other plans for the time being, just let me witness what step you can take."
She really has no intention of leaving Western Mansion, or that she has no intention of stopping observing 'abnormal' people. Whether it is Aozaki Touko or Jiuyuan Shi Azu, they are a little special to her. It is like a Game World that only exists by itself. Everything can be easily modified with cheating permissions, and naturally it will soon become boring.
However, at this time... two new accounts suddenly logged into the game.
At this time, players who have been in the grass-roots stage for a long time will naturally be very interested in playing with the two newbies, and are even willing to teach the newbies how to play the game.
Moreover, he is also willing to spend time to help you clear monsters.
"That would be great."
Aozaki Touko showed a moving smile, and immediately she drew a rune in the void. It was the rune from Nasuverse. There was no way to successfully activate Magecraft in this world.
"Excuse me... Your Highness Othinus, how do you modify this rune before it can be activated?"
One-eyed girl beside her is the original form of Odin in mythology. In terms of insights into runes, probably no one knows more about runes than Othinus.
So, if you want to re-activate runes quickly.
Then naturally ask Othinus to get the fastest one.
"... You are indeed unusual."
One-eyed girl was silent for a moment and said this. Then she gave random instructions to Touko, and easily modified the runes of Touko to activate it more suitably for this world structure.

The next day.
