Aozaki Touko walked into the dark basement alone, and then looked at Tohno Makihisa standing in the center. He was sitting on a wooden chair and looked at Touko who walked in with a smile.
"You can't hold it anymore so soon?"
Aozaki Touko asked.
"I'm reaching my limit."
Tohno Makihisa nodded slightly and said noncommittally.
He is indeed almost unable to suppress Inversion Impulse now.
"So, you want me to kill you, right?"
Aozaki Touko stopped, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
To be honest, she didn't believe that Tono Shinkyu would find a foreigner to kill her.
In fact, there must be other reasons for this.
"That's right, you are actually the most suitable candidate. You are so powerful that you can easily kill the reversed version of me, and Qiuye will not have to bear the crime of killing his father. This is simply the best of both worlds."
Tohno Makihisa smiled kindly, like a gentle old father who couldn't bear to let his daughter be contaminated with the blood of his loved ones.
but.
"If I'm not wrong, you can at least last another month or two."
Aozaki Touko breaks down the current state of Shinhisa Tono. After hearing this, Tono Shinkyu did not maintain his fatherly smile and said coldly:
"Yes, I should be able to suppress it for a while, but this is just a slow death."
"So, you want to kill me?"
Aozaki Touko asked rhetorically.
"Yes, instead of dying slowly, I might as well take a gamble and see if I can kill you. If I can kill you, a month or two will be enough for me to go to London and find Miko Futago."
"And if I fail, I'll die early at most."
After saying that, Tohno Makihisa stood up and his face became ferocious.
He really hated the existence of Aozaki Touko. Without Aozaki Touko's intervention, he could now use Miko Futago's body fluids to suppress Inversion Impulse, and how could he endure the pain of reversal.
"If you say that, did you actually let Qiuye go to the Western Mansion to find me on purpose?"
Aozaki Touko sighed slightly and his eyes became cold.
Now that Tono Shinku cannot suppress Inversion Impulse, it will take quite some time. There is no way he should go to the Western Mansion for help and seek death.
"That's right, after I learned that you were back, I deliberately went crazy and then regained my composure!"
Tono Shinkyu smiled slightly and lowered his voice, "Then, I deliberately asked Qiuye to go to the Western Mansion to find you, in order to make a last ditch effort now."
"It's a meaningless calculation, you have no chance of winning!"
Aozaki Touko declared the fact like this. However, Tono Shinkyu didn't care. Instead, he said with a smile:
"When you need to bet your life, who cares about the odds of winning? A slim chance of survival is enough!"
"Also, do you feel a little uncomfortable in your body?"
He looked at Aozaki Touko mockingly, and the corners of his mouth curved in pleasure.
This sealed basement was filled with deadly poisonous gas. Without Non-Human Blood, it would have been impossible to survive.
Although he does not know the specific details of Aozaki Touko.
However, he must also be a pure human being.
"... No, I set up a barrier in advance before coming in."
Waving his hand, Aozaki Touko tilted his head and said with a sly smile.
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Tohno Makihisa's face turned a little pale, and then his eyes gradually became fierce. Regardless of whether the poisonous gas was successful or not, it was time for him to fight to the death.
"——die!"
Chapter 147 Returning at night
so cold
So dark
I squatted in the aisle with my hands around my knees, silently looking up at the sky and the moon, silently wondering why Sister Touko would come out, and whether my father had been killed.
Yes, the father who raised me is going to be killed.
And I personally went to the Kuzuki Western Mansion to get up with the person who wanted to kill my father.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it, because their Tohno Family has a flaw called 'Inversion Impulse', which will amplify their desires without limit and degenerate into an evil monster.
At this time, as the head of the Tohno Family family, you need to personally clean up the Inversion Impulse clan members who cannot be suppressed.
However, this time Inversion Impulse is his father and the patriarch of the Tohno Family. It is no longer possible for the patriarch to clean up the matter himself.
This is the time when you, the future Tohno Family, need to fulfill your responsibilities.
However, I did not choose to kill my father. On the contrary, I handed over the bloody matter to Sister Touko, thus avoiding the matter of killing my relatives.
"Sorry, sister Touko~"
The sound of guilt blended into the night, and I lowered my head and buried it between my knees.
I actually pushed the crime of murder to the outsider Sister Touko. This is obviously my responsibility, if there is a chance in the future.
She will definitely find a way to compensate Sister Chengzi for killing someone for her.
——Tap-tat-tat
Inside the house, regular footsteps could be heard.
I turned to look at the closed door and saw Sister Touko opening the door and walking out. She was dressed the same as when she came in. She looked like she had never been in a fight.
but.
"Sister Touko, is it over?"
I looked up at Sister Touko and asked as calmly as possible.
"It's over. Tono Maki passed away peacefully."
Sister Touko replied gently, and at the same time she bent down to pick me up and walked towards the Tohno Family. From the general direction, she probably wanted to take me with her to the Kuzuki Western Mansion.
"Sister Touko, is this your first time to kill someone?"
I shrank into sister Touko's arms, and then asked in a low voice.
"Well, this is probably my first time to kill someone. Although I had the idea of killing people before, due to various accidents, I put it aside temporarily."
Listening to Sister Touko's answer, I said a little guiltily:
"I'm sorry, originally this had nothing to do with Sister Touko."
If Sister Touko had killed someone before, then I might be able to comfort myself with peace of mind. However, now because of me, Sister Touko has been stained with blood for the first time, and I have to take responsibility for it no matter what.
"Don't worry, for Master Magecraft, killing is a normal thing."
Touko looked down at me, his eyes as gentle as water. "In the past, I just didn't have to kill people, but when I needed to do it, I wouldn't hesitate. I realized this at a very young age."
"... I understand~"
As if I understood, I nodded slightly.
However, in fact, I simply cannot understand it. I actually don't have a deep understanding of the world that Sister Touko lives in. When I come into contact with a creature named Master Magecraft,
Except for Miss Touko, Kuonji Alice has a cold face. However, if you get along with Miss Azu for a while, you will find that she is a very gentle person.
Although Miss Azu behaves very coldly every time she goes to the Kuzuki Western Mansion, she will treat her with delicious chocolates and cook a sumptuous lunch herself.
With such an existence that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she used its image to construct the outline of Master Magecraft.
As for Aozaki Aoko, her understanding of the world of Magecraft is probably similar to mine, and Aoko may not be able to beat me, so it cannot be included as a reference.
"... Speaking of which, will Qiuye also face Inversion Impulse in the future?"
Suddenly, Touko asked me with some worry.
"... Yes, as long as you are a Tohno Family person, you will not be able to escape this fate in the end."
I buried my head in Touko's chest and replied in a suppressed voice.
That's right, even she will face Inversion Impulse in the future, which is the price of mixing in Non-Human Blood. Although she gains powerful power as a result, she will eventually be swallowed up by this power.
"I don't want Qiuye to die..."
Sister Touko hugged me tightly, and then said non-seriously, "When I have time, I will find a way to solve Qiuye's Inversion Impulse. Even if it cannot be solved, I can still make Magecraft Mystic Code to suppress Qiuye's Inversion Impulse."
"... Thank you, Sister Touko."
I thanked her softly and looked up at Sister Touko.
Under the light of the passing lights, Sister Touko's face looked very gentle. She held Kuzuki Western Mansion and walked step by step towards the hill. The crisp sound of footsteps echoed on the street.
I don't know why, I feel a little sleepy.
"Akiba, go to sleep~"
Sister Touko lowered her head and said to me,
Then, I felt relieved and no longer depressed, and closed my eyes with confidence.
I wonder... will I dream about my father tonight?
"..."
Facing the cold night wind, Aozaki Touko's long hair was floating slightly. She stared at the profile of Qiuye in her arms. There was sadness on that delicate face, and her petite body was a little curled up.
This is a sign of insecurity.
"It's... pleasant."
She sighed helplessly and used a few runes to calm Qiuye's mind, so that she would not have nightmares in her dreams as much as possible.
Then, he continued to walk towards the Western Mansion with Qiuye in his arms.

Kuzuki Western Mansion.
Walking into the living room Aozaki Touko looked around and found Azu sitting alone on the sofa, holding a book and reading quietly, while the black tea on the table had already cooled down.
Although there is no explanation, Azu is probably waiting for her to come back.
"...Azu~"
Aozaki Touko called out softly. Then Azu paused while turning the book, looking at Touko in her black eyes. Then she stood up and walked to Touko. After whispering "Follow me", she took Touko to a guest room.
"This is Akiba, the room where you will stay here for the night."
Azu explained like this, and opened the bed and put on the quilt.
Seeing this, Aozaki Touko didn't need to say anything. He put Tohno Akiha on the bed, covered him lightly with the quilt, and then left the room with light steps.
"I'll leave some of the food... if you're hungry, you can eat it."
In the aisle, Azu asked.
"Doing it again... it feels very busy~"
Aozaki Touko showed a disgusted expression. However, Kuonji Alice glanced at Touko and said in a cold voice, "Isn't there a way for Counsellor Doll Master to speed up the cooking of food?"
"In terms of Magecraft's strength... it is still relatively strong."
Aozaki Touko tilted his head and said with a smile, "So, Azu, do you have any props that can cook food quickly?"
"... There seems to be one~"
After a moment of silence, Azu nodded slightly.
