Yao believes that taking a short break shouldn't be a big problem.
It is sufficient to entrust trivial matters to trusted subordinates.
"However, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. My grandfather also wants you to come back."
Orange's tone became much colder.
She always talked like this when discussing her family's old magician, and Yao was used to it.
However, this old mage actually wanted to see him.
Yao couldn't understand what the other party was planning.
Chapter Two: Orange, It's So Good to Have You [Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Flowers!]
Taochuan is located on the edge of the Misaki region.
It takes almost an hour to get from Misaki City to Taogawa, a rural area far from the city.
This time, Chengzi took Yao back and forth to her ancestral home in Taochuan.
Orange's parents are not magicians.
The two elders were ordinary people living simple lives, and their understanding of magic was limited to knowing that it was a family business.
The fact that a couple with no magical talent gave birth to Touko, a child prodigy in the magic arts, for the Aozaki family is a miracle in itself.
It's hard to imagine that such ordinary old people could be the offspring of a mage.
Perhaps because they were ordinary people, the two elders treated Yao like their own child, and were very warm towards him.
We arrived at our destination in less than an hour.
Yao stepped into the Aozaki family home with his luggage.
"Hmm~ That's about right... Yao, from today onwards, you're officially settled in. See if there's anything you're missing? If so, I'll get it for you later."
Orange had already tidied up Yao's room.
He was able to move into the Aozaki family home as soon as he arrived. He must be so lucky to have such a thoughtful girlfriend.
Yao knew that Chengzi was being considerate of him, who had recently lost his father.
However, this is still something to be happy about.
"Orange, it's so good to have you."
Yao gazed at Chengzi's pretty face and couldn't help but say something.
This made Orange feel embarrassed.
At this moment, no matter how much she was hailed as a magic genius, she was nothing more than a young girl in love.
In a daze, Yao also remembered the past.
..........
I first met Orange one afternoon.
Yao still remembers it clearly to this day.
His father discovered that he possessed a special talent, so he took him to the cave where his grandfather lived.
To this day, Yao still remembers what his grandfather said.
"It's quite unexpected that you have the strongest adaptability to the fifth element, 'Void.' This is an element that constitutes celestial bodies..."
Although it's a rare talent, it's unfortunately an unblemished 'emptiness' that's difficult to cultivate. Unless a major upheaval occurs, your future will be rendered worthless by this talent.
The Fifth Mage's words were devoid of emotion.
It was as if they considered it a trivial matter.
Later, his grandfather allowed Yao to train in magic under his tutelage and become a magician like Yuki Aozaki.
Thus, Yao was able to meet Orange, who had been diligently training in magic.
The two met in the magician's workshop.
—They are young girls who have embarked on the path of demonic possession but are still confused, and boys who have not yet entered the path of demonic possession but do not intend to give up on the future.
The former is a prodigy in demonic arts, the latter a useless talent.
"Yao, what is your purpose in practicing magic?"
"Why? Orange's question is really tricky... If I had to be serious, I want too much."
Magic is omnipotent and a manifestation of human intelligence.
There are many wonderful things in this world that I want to have, so practicing magic is essential for me.
Yao answered Orange with a radiant smile.
Yao, who has memories of two lifetimes, is much more mature.
"Ah, that's great... I wish I could find the answer like Yao. I don't even know where to start looking for the answer."
Orange looked on with envy.
She was told from birth that her goal was to inherit magic, without ever giving it much thought.
Over time, a sense of confusion will inevitably linger in one's heart.
Watching Yao recount his story and pursue his own dreams, Orange couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
Because the story of Yao, which tells of dreams, is very appealing.
Just looking at it calmed her restless heart.
"Isn't Orange searching for this right now? The process of learning magic is also a process of exploring the answer. Most magicians choose to embark on the path of magic for this purpose."
"...Hmm......Can I find it?"
"The process of thinking itself has value. Orange, I believe in you, you will definitely find it."
Yao said with absolute certainty.
However, this answer did not satisfy Orange.
"Hmph, Yao's words contained no guarantee whatsoever, leaving one with absolutely no confidence."
"I promise... Okay, how about this?"
If you really can't find it, then I'll be here as your strongest support, accompanying you to the very end, until you find it.
Yao patted his chest and made a promise to Chengzi.
He knew Aozaki Touko's future.
Despite being hailed as a child prodigy, she was stripped of her right to inherit the Fifth Law at the age of eighteen, and her younger sister, Aoko, took over.
Perhaps, because he was also a half-baked individual, Yao couldn't just ignore Orange's future.
—Aozaki Touko, she really works very hard.
Even when her family placed expectations on her without her consent, she never complained, and even when she felt lost, she never thought of stopping.
She did nothing wrong, and did everything a mage should do, yet her entire life was negated by a single, casual remark.
The reason my grandfather gave was simply that it was unsuitable.
If even such efforts cannot be recognized, then that would be too cruel.
As a viewer who has witnessed her hard work, Yao wants to acknowledge it.
Such a beautiful thing deserves recognition, and at the very least, it shouldn't have such a tragic ending.
"It's a deal! Yao, you have to stay with me until the end, okay? You can't back out until I find the answer!"
Young Orange laughed with delight.
Since then, Orange has never considered whether she is confused or not; her gaze has always been firmly fixed on the future.
The beauty she displayed has never faded.
What is etched deep in the girl's memory is that dazzling boy.
Similarly, the smile on the girl's face when she shed her confusion was also etched in the boy's memory.
This is a promise and a secret that belongs only to them.
.............
Even today, Yao can still recall that time.
It's truly a moving experience.
Today, Aozaki Touko shines brightly, while Yao stagnates due to a lack of talent.
"Ah, colorless 'emptiness,' valueless 'emptiness.'"
Yao couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Orange has left the room, and now Yao is alone, finally able to release his emotions.
In Chengzi's eyes, Yao is a dazzling and handsome guiding star.
Therefore, Yao didn't want to disappoint Chengzi, who loved him, so he had been working hard to improve himself.
However, Aozaki's grandfather was absolutely right.
Yao's Void attribute makes it difficult for him to practice magic of the other four attributes. Even gathering a fireball requires several times the effort of an ordinary person, and his attribute compatibility is completely terrible.
At the same time, "emptiness" is the most difficult magical attribute to cultivate.
Few people know how to cultivate themselves.
It's not wrong for Aozaki's grandfather to describe it as worthless; the purest form of "emptiness" is exactly as its name suggests.
In reality, Yao didn't need to fight the demonic path to the death.
His biological father's magical talent wasn't actually that great; most magicians only need a general understanding of magic.
Magicians do not need to analyze magic like magicians do.
They use magic more as a tool.
Besides, now that Yao has achieved tremendous business success, he could easily stay at home and become a wealthy landlord.
Most people would probably have given up and given up long ago.
However, Yao had no choice but to do so.
"Give up... How could I? I finally got to live a second life and even came into contact with magic."
Yao clenched his fists, unwilling to accept it.
He died before achieving his desires in his previous life, and now he is trapped in this bitter quagmire once again.
That sense of confusion seemed to have come over him.
Not only is it the responsibility to guide the future of the Aozaki family, but it also involves dealing with potential crises in the Type-Moon world, many of which could be devastating.
Yao cannot be certain that a disaster like the burning of human remains will not occur in the future.
Therefore, he wanted to plan ahead and increase his ability to control the future before a possible crisis arrived.
"Thinking about this too much is not a good thing. We still can't give up magic, and we have to grasp the future of the Aozaki family."
Right now, all I can do is keep moving forward and try not to fall behind the oranges.
Yao took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
He may not be able to find a satisfactory answer right now, but he still decided to move forward despite his confusion.
Just like he once taught Orange.
He must not forget this.
Chapter Three: The Alien God is Actually Me!? [Requesting Monthly Tickets! Requesting Flowers!]
To try to fight against the major trends that may come in the future with mediocre talent.
It has to be said that this is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
