The day after that, Luo Pei was asked out by Jiantong Yanye.
The weather today was still sunny, but because winter had not passed, it was dry and cold. The temperature made the coffee shop, which should have been packed with people, a little quieter. Rope was happy to see this situation. Whether it was him or Yan Ye, the things they were talking about were not suitable for people to hear.
"Yan Ye, why did you call me out at this time?”
Rope closed the menu and handed it to the waiter beside him.
"Your body is already on the verge of collapse. My advice to you is to walk less. If the Berserker isn't fighting, you can still use it as a spellcaster. After all, he has magic power himself, so he won't make you suffer too much.”
"Ahem…Thank you."
Jiantong Yanye kept coughing. Judging from the red blood seeping out from the back of the handkerchief, this good old man was indeed exhausted. Not to mention Lope, even if a mage came, they would sigh.
"How is Xiao Ying? Is there anything unusual about her body?”
" Not bad. The part that was eaten by the bugs has been repaired by me with magic power. The rest is taught to her about magic…Don't glare at me like that. It's too rare to have an empty attribute, so I've thought about it and decided to take her as my disciple…"
The coffee was served. Rope threw two sugar cubes and stirred them, watching the brown body spin.
"Yan Ye, you should at least know a little about my character. Don't worry."
"Ha…My original plan was to never let Xiao Ying come into contact with anything related to magic.”Yan Ye laughed bitterly. " But it doesn't seem realistic. After all, she has the blood of a magus family flowing in her veins…Just like me, I've been running away like a coward for more than ten years, and now I'm back on the path I hated in the beginning. This might have been decided since I was born.”
"Don't talk about yourself like that, Yan Ye. I think you're a real man!”
Luo Pei patted Jian Tong Yanye's shoulder and said seriously. "At that time, didn't you have no hesitation when it came to Xiao Ying's safety? You didn't even care about your own life to save her. This isn't the behavior of a coward.”
" Haha, I just don't want to be praised by a bastard like you…Cough cough…"
Yan Ye laughed as he started coughing again. He only felt better after hurriedly grabbing a cup of water from the table and gulping down a few mouthfuls.
"What else do you want to say?”
Instead of doing something useless like treating Yan Ye, Rope picked up his coffee and drank half a cup in one go.
The warm flow dispelled the cold of winter, and his whole body warmed up, as if it was spring. The coffee shop in the 1980s did not have air conditioning for Lope.
" Phew..." After drinking, Rope put down the cup and closed his eyes to savor it.
" It's really different from instant coffee. I've never had it before…"
Before he transmigrated, his life was quite tight, let alone after the incident.
"…Rope, I want to kill Tokiomi.”
After a moment of silence, Jian Tong Yanye revealed the ultimate purpose of meeting Luo Pei today.
"I know I don't have much time left, so I want you to help me see how much time I have left. Also, I need your help in killing Tokiomi.”
"Three days."
Rope squinted and continued. "No more than four days. The Mark Worms have almost eaten up your body. You can breathe now because they replaced your organs and helped you extend your life. However, I'm afraid this is also to squeeze out your last bit of value.”
He picked up the cup and said. "Tokiomi was my enemy to begin with. Besides, you've helped me, so it's reasonable for me to cooperate with you.”
"Thank you so much. Tonight, we'll…"
"Yan Ye!"
Before Yanye could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Rope, who suddenly raised his voice.
"I'm very curious. Did you kill Toshigi because he trampled on her happiness…or was it because you were jealous?”
“……”
Yan Ye stared at the water in the cup that was constantly moving, and an ugly face was reflected in it.
After a long time, he answered Rope with a bitter and hoarse voice.
"Maybe…both." His index finger kept shaking, indicating the uneasiness in his heart.
"I'm jealous of him, and I hate him. He was the one who caused Miss Kui to be in such a sad state. Sometimes, I would think that if only Miss Kui had chosen me…But I couldn't. I ran away. Without any hesitation, I ran away under the influence of the dirty inkstone. At that time, I knew that I would never cross paths with Miss Kui, and now I killed him for Miss Kui's future happiness. I didn't have any other delusions.”
"What a pity. What will Aoi Tosaka think when she finds out that you killed Shiki? Do you think she's the kind of woman who would smile at you, who killed her husband, with a 'welcome back' smile?”
Luo Pei sneered as she looked at Yan Ye, whose mind was clouded by hatred.
"She's just a weak woman. The only thing she knows how to do is curse you for the rest of her life, curse your soul to suffer in hell forever. Other than Sakura and me, no one else would admire your sacrifice, including your most admired Mrs. Tozaka.”
"Miss Kui is not that kind of person…but, but what can I do?”
Yan Ye hugged his head and lowered it deeply. "I can only think of killing Tokiomi to save them. If this continues, Aoi will be killed by that guy sooner or later.”
"Let me do it."
Rope pondered and made a decision.
"Aoi, you know you're a Master, right?”
"Yes." Yan Ye nodded.
"When did you tell her…Forget it, Aoi doesn't know much about the demonic path anyway. Listen, I'll pretend to be a robber today and 'kidnap' Aoi and Ling and move them to a safe place. After that, we'll meet up and attack the Tokiomi family, killing Tokiomi. By then, when the ignorant Mimiya heard the bad news, she would only think that someone else killed her husband and would not suspect you, who was already dead.”
"Is this really okay…"
"After all, you don't have a better idea. Don't worry, I won't hurt them.”
Rope took out a few coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"You can play the role of a 'good person' until the end of your life…This is the last favor I can do.”
"…Thank you."
