Ji Shuxue Cai was sitting alone in her room under the setting sun. It was a room in an apartment that was too spacious for one person to live in. Room 705 next to the Xiao family's house.
Even though the room was devoid of furniture, the corner of the hall where Xue Cai sat was the only place that felt warm and lively. The curtains, the cushions, and the mug filled with black tea. These were the things he had bought with Luo Tian. However, the furniture that had become familiar in just a few days would probably be gone soon.
When he thought of this, he felt a strong sense of loneliness. Lonely feeling.
"…" The sky outside the window was dyed with dusk. From here, one could see the entirety of Flux God City. There were basically no special changes. The peaceful scenery made it seem as if the battle that took place in the deepest part of the island was fake.
The residents of the chaotic flux god city had calmed down a little and resumed their daily lives. When the guards reached the lowest level, they only saw signs of serious damage and the unconscious Eustaha. It seemed like Eustaha, who had been arrested, didn't tell them about Luo Tian and Xue Cai.
Although they had failed to retrieve the Saint's body, they had failed. However, Ouistaha's actions caused a worldwide uproar.
Using the miracle of the holy relic to support the artificial island. The various organizations and countries, led by the Western European Churches, immediately began to denounce the actions of the Flux God Island. At the same time, a request for a reduced sentence for Eustahl came. The Japanese government could not ignore this incident.
Eustaha was expelled from the country, and Astarut, as an artificial life form, was simply following his master's orders, so he was protected and observed. Although the real procedures had not been carried out, the world had temporarily accepted it because it was a safe conclusion.
Xiao Luotian, on the other hand, went back to class as if nothing had happened. It was said that she was almost killed by her homeroom teacher because she was forced to complete the rest of her summer homework.
At home, he played with his two followers, but at school, he was like a salted fish as usual. Although it was normal, it was not meaningless. This kind of ordinary and comfortable life was what he wanted to protect…
" Really…He's really hopeless…" Xue Cai subconsciously muttered and laughed. The happy laughter that surprised even him immediately turned into a deep sigh.
Xue Cai would probably return to her usual daily life soon. In the forest of the High Gods, he trained as a Sword Wizard Apprentice. Although it was very harsh, she was neither confused nor distressed. She just lived a simple and peaceful day. This was the original daily life of Xuecai.
Xue Cai had lost her composure too much to continue Luo Tian's surveillance mission. The Lion King's secret weapon, the Snow Cloud Wolf, was severely damaged in a battle unrelated to the mission.
Xue Cai wasn't smart enough to lie about the report. Therefore, everything that happened was reported to the Lion King Agency without reservation.
Xue Cai would probably be called back by the Lion King Agency soon because of her negligence in surveillance. It would be fine if it was just confinement, but it would not be strange if he was disqualified from being a Demon Attacker or removed from the Lion King's organization. This was all Xue Cai's responsibility. Since it was the result of his actions, there was nothing he could do. Moreover, Xue Cai did not regret what she had done.
If there was anything he regretted, it would be that he couldn't meet Xiao Luotian again.
Depending on his mood that day, he would sometimes treat others gently, and sometimes make things difficult for others.
“!”At this moment, the doorbell rang. On the screen was a man wearing the uniform of a courier company. They were probably sent by the Lion King Organization.
Xue Cai unlocked the door for him and left the house, but the delivery man was nowhere to be seen. What replaced it was a huge item placed at the entrance of the apartment.
It was a rectangular aluminum box. It was also used to carry musical instruments such as a guitar. The sender of the goods was the Lion King Organization. The recipient was Xue Cai.
Confused, Xue Cai moved the box into the room. He unbuckled the box and opened it. Then, Xue Cai gulped.
In the box, there was a repaired silver long. The gun was stored inside like a new product.
………………
"Although all sorts of things happened, the outcome was as planned…right?”At night, in Caihai High School, there was a boy in a classroom that should have been empty. It was a young man with upturned hair and earphones hanging around his neck.
Leaning against the wall beside him was a crow. The young man was leisurely talking to the ominous bird by the window.
"Although it's a little off from what we expected, Xiao Luotian now has a pet. He had taken yet another step, and was now close to becoming the complete Fourth True Ancestor. However, it was incomprehensible. " Why do you want to awaken a monster that can burn down the street if you're not careful…" The crow listened to the young man's words in silence. The figure that was wrapped in the pitch-black feathers was smooth and flat, which made people feel strange.
From an angle, it could be seen as a simple folding paper without any thickness. This wasn't a real bird. Instead, it was a shikigami created by the power of a curse.
"In the end, with your strength, you already know that Teacher Jian of Rotalingia is hunting demons and that their goal is to take back the holy relic, right?”The youth asked Crow in a reproachful tone.
"Sending a probationary Sword Wizard with a strong sense of justice to Luo Tian as a monitor for such a matter is too obvious. Seriously, to think that you would do such a thing to such a serious child.”
"…However, it was also thanks to this that the fourth True Ancestor's awakening was brought forward.”Crow suddenly spoke.
"Regardless of whether we attack or not, that fellow will still be there. In order to control it, the more trump cards we have, the better.”
"Ji Shuxue Cai is a bell tied to the neck of a sleeping monster.”Sighing pitifully, the young man shifted his gaze to the window.
" It's true that Luo Tian has a kind heart and a tsundere personality. Although she always says that it's troublesome, she probably wouldn't leave a child like that alone…She probably never expected that the Lion King would send her here as the fourth True Ancestor's lover. How pitiful."
"This country gave birth to the true ancestor of the Night Empire's lord. In order to prevent the country from being destroyed, he had to do a good job.”Hehehe, the crows seemed to be laughing.
Although his tone was joking, there was a heavy atmosphere that could not be concealed. To them, this plan was a double-edged sword that could lead to a huge disaster. It was like throwing a lit lighter into a gunpowder warehouse.
However, it seemed that the situation was still going as they wished.
"But that doesn't mean that the girl is sad. The emperor's partner also represented the princess consort.”
"Well, maybe that's the case…From my personal point of view, my feelings are a little complicated.”As the young man spoke, he looked at a table in the middle of the classroom. That was the seat of his childhood sweetheart. If she knew that he, who was the real monitor of Xiao Luotian, had made such a report, she would undoubtedly be furious. It was a future that could not help but make people feel a chill.
As if she didn't understand the young man's relationship, the crow sneered again.
"Alright. It's said that the Fourth True Ancestor will appear at a turning point in history. Would his appearance be ominous or auspicious? Xiao Luotian. Speaking of which, when the Church of Western Europe talked about Son of Akatsuki, it seemed to be the nickname of the Fallen Angel Lucifer…Hmph, it's quite interesting, isn't it…" Will he become the messenger of God, or will he become a demon that destroys the earth…
After saying that, the crow's appearance was undone. It turned into an ordinary piece of paper and floated into the air with the wind.
Watching the paper being sucked away by the dark night sky, the young man stroked his hair as if he was bored.
"Aiya, aiya…the future is really difficult, my good friend.”His mischievous murmurs echoed in the empty classroom before disappearing.
