Laura glanced away from pink-haired girl, then looked at Touko teasingly, and said, "Is it possible that the bed-warming condition really made your heart move? Ivy, you actually like... girls."
"... Maybe so."
Aozaki Touko licked her hair beside her ears and said jokingly, "Beautiful things, without competition and comparison, can make people feel happy even just looking at them."
She does not have the heart to compare with each other like ordinary women. It can be said that she has no interest in comparing each other's appearance and figure, which naturally does not constitute the so-called jealousy.
Because of this, she was able to appreciate the girl's beauty without prejudice.
"Oh... is that so?" Laura tilted his head slightly, his golden hair slanting across his shoulders, "Then Ivy is also interested in me? I am also a beautiful girl."
"... Hmph, guess what."
There was no straightforward answer, Aozaki Touko smiled vaguely. Although she liked getting along with Laura, it was not about love.
She just thinks Laura is very interesting, so she is willing to spend more time with this Great Demon.
"Oh... she is obviously an outstanding and beautiful girl."
Laura puffed up his cheeks slightly in dissatisfaction, and twirled his fair fingers around his golden hair, "If you are willing... the suitors can be arranged outside London."
"... Really?"
Aozaki Touko seemed to remember something, pursed his lips and smiled and said, "How about Laura try to stop a passing car and take you home. As long as you succeed... I believe you are very charming."
"This... isn't it easy?" Laura's delicate and pretty face showed confidence, and she slightly raised her white chin, "As long as I wave my hand, the passing vehicles will definitely stop."

At the same time.
On the top of the building near Clock Tower.
Alester slightly raised his head and looked at the night sky, and the stars in the sky returned to their normal positions. However, the stars in the universe just now were indeed distorted from their original positions.
That kind of power... might as well be called the power of God.
"... Do you feel it's difficult?"
Behind him, there was the sound of unstable signal.
Immediately afterwards, an angel with long golden hair and a female-like appearance appeared. She also cast her gaze in the direction of Touko, her eyes revealing a bit of curiosity.
She wasn't too touched by Aozaki Touko's twisted starry sky, and that level of power actually meant nothing to her.
If she wanted to, she could even move her fingers... and destroy the world.
However, the nature of Touko's power is somewhat special.
"As long as the layout is appropriate, you have a chance of winning against the devil." Alester answered the angel's question behind him, "If necessary... you only need to find the corresponding cracking spell to win. Even if there are other methods, I can also come up with many."
This world is not about someone's power being terrifying, it can directly determine the rules of victory and defeat. Sometimes, True Magic phase can be used to crack each other's speed to deal with True Magic, and the corresponding arrangements can be prepared in advance.
These can determine the outcome between True Magic divisions.
"... Have you thought of a solution?"
The angel asked so curiously.
"No, I haven't thought of it yet." Alester shook his head and immediately replied, "However, I can see some of her True Magic's composition, which is to use the Holy Grail to process magic power to exert the power of divine power."
"... Maybe she is a god herself."
The angel said it as if he was joking, and then dimly disappeared.
Alester was silent for a moment, then turned and left the roof. No matter how powerful the woman 'Ivy' was, as long as there was no conflict between them, there wasn't much to worry about.
After all, he doesn't want to be the king of beasts or compete for the title of the strongest.
The real focus is just on whether you can accomplish your goals.

The next day.
Information about the Clock Tower war spread throughout the world.
And this also led to one thing, that is, the world's attitude towards 'Mage's Association' was a green light, and some original restrictions were quietly lifted.
People... clearly know the weight of the Mage's Association.
Just then... the night sky was distorted.
USA.
Symbolizing the center of power White House.
An old man with white hair was holding the table with his fingers crossed. He looked at the documents on the table, which contained information about the distortion of the starry sky last night.
"... It's almost like a dream."
He sighed.
Although he has become the highest power in the country, he still feels uncontrollable and insignificant in the face of the power that distorts the starry sky. In the face of such power, the organization of the country is meaningless.
He was even thinking... maybe he should step down as president.
Then, it makes more sense to learn True Magic...
Of course, he also knew that even if he went to learn True Magic, he would probably only release a fireball. He wanted to distort the starry sky just for fun.
In fact, most True Magic divisions in this world... will die just like being hit by bullets.
Chapter 540 Death
More than thirty years later.
In an old apartment.
The dim afterglow of the setting sun shines into the room through the window and falls on a white-haired old woman. She is sitting on an old wooden bench, knitting a sweater slowly.
"It's almost there, just a little bit off."
She whispered softly, her expression gentle and kind.
This sweater was specially knitted by her for her daughter 'Ivy'. It was a gift from her as a mother to her daughter, of course, if her husband was still alive.
Then she will also knit a sweater specially for her lover.
However, just a month ago.
In the calm and peaceful afternoon, her lover read the newspaper as usual, then fell asleep a little sleepily, and never woke up. His soul... went to heaven to serve the Lord.
If it weren't for the existence of a daughter in the family.
Perhaps, she has no motivation to live.
"It's almost time to start dinner."
A lively and sunny voice comes from the kitchen.
The old woman's hands knitted the sweater for a moment, and then she let out a soft sigh. A gentle smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she responded to her daughter who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Okay, I get it."
With that said, she put down her knitting sweater and went to wipe the table with a rag. Then she walked into the kitchen with a somewhat slow pace and helped her daughter bring out the dishes that had been prepared.
To be honest, she didn't need to do these chores.
Just a month ago, she and her lover lived in a castle, with many maids and attendants taking care of them. The quality of life... could be said to be very good.
However, she still chose to give up the superior living conditions.
Choosing to return to this house full of memories and relive her life as before would give her the feeling that her lover is still around.
Although life here... is obviously more inconvenient than the castle, her daughter accompanied her back here, and she also brought back a girl who might be called her lover.
This kind of life... has no regrets anymore.
*
outside the window.
The sun has completely set.
After a modest dinner.
"Leave the task of washing the dishes to me."
Aozaki Touko cleared the dishes on the table and said to Kuonji Alice beside him, "Next, I would like to trouble Azu... to chat with 'mother'."
As she said that, she smiled playfully and immediately walked into the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks in hand.
Although she can use True Magic to solve these trivial matters at a moment's notice, sometimes inefficient means of handling trivial matters can also be regarded as a good pastime.
Just like fishing.
If you want to catch fish, whether you use fishing nets, mines, or even poison, it is more efficient than patient fishing.
But sometimes... efficiency isn't the highest priority.
"..."
Kuonji Alice subconsciously turned his gaze to the old woman. Immediately, he saw that the old woman had knitted the sweater again and smiled at her with a kind face.
"Speaking of which, Azu and I... you haven't had a good chat yet."
"... Well, indeed not."
There was no denying it, Kuonji Alice nodded lightly. Although she had known the old woman for a long time, she had never had a good chat with her, and her understanding of each other was limited.
"Although I haven't had a good chat with you Azu." The old woman lowered her head and knitted a sweater slowly, "However, I am very curious about Azu, and I have been asking Ivy a lot about Azu."
She stopped knitting.
"Azu, you are... special to Ivy."
"... Special?"
Kuonji Alice was startled for a moment, then her pretty face flushed. She naturally knew the meaning of the old woman's words, but she had no intention of denying it.
"That look can't be fake." The old woman knitted a sweater slowly, her voice filled with memories, "Actually, I can tell... you love Ivy, and Ivy she also loves you."
"I... don't deny it."
Kuonji Alice turned his head to look at the door of the kitchen, looking at Aozaki Touko who stuck his head out, and couldn't help but glare slightly. Why did she... get involved with this playboy Touko back then.
If she knows the future... then... it seems like she can't get rid of Touko.
"I know that you are True Magic masters. Mortal concepts are not suitable for you." The old woman looked at Ivy who was peeping in the kitchen, with a smile. "Although you may have been together for a long time, I still wish you well and hope that you can live happily together for a lifetime."
"Ms. Gena, thank you~."
Kuonji Alice thanked him softly.
The old woman smiled slightly and continued to knit the sweater. Only the last step was left. Now that the weather was getting colder, she hoped to put on a sweater for her daughter before it started to snow.
"Okay, Ivy... come here and give it a try."
She looked at the knitted sweater for a moment and waved to her daughter in the kitchen.
Aozaki Touko hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the old woman and let the old woman compare the sizes. Then, on the old woman's satisfaction list, the sweater given by the old woman was next.
"The rest of my life will be left to you."
The old woman took two steps back slightly, carefully looked at the child God had given her, then turned to Kuonji Alice and said:
"Ivy, it's up to you."
"... Leave it to me."
Kuonji Alice glanced at Touko beside him, then nodded gently to the old woman, and she seriously agreed to the old woman's request.
Seven days later.
It was drizzling.
In the cemetery.
Aozaki Touko held a black umbrella and looked at the tombstone in front of her with 'Gena Caroline' engraved on it. That was the old woman's name. The grave next to it was the tombstone of the old woman's lover.
"I thought... you would let Ms. Gena survive."
On the side, Azu spoke softly.
Now that Aozaki Touko has the ability, it is easy for two humans to survive. Whether it is a curse or a magic potion, it can be easily achieved.
