Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Strictly speaking, Novia felt the same way about Yahweh, whom she had met a few times, and Jesus, whom she had never met. Just like Luce, Eri, or the little Mugel in front of her, she felt like family rather than 'herself'.

Novia looked at Little Mugel's reddened eyes and suddenly chuckled. There was no sarcasm in her laughter, but rather a hint of self-mockery.

“You’re right,” he said, rubbing his temples. “Anyway, I’m not logging in.”

The lights outside the window flickered suddenly, as if echoing the subtle change in atmosphere inside the room.

Little Mugel turned her face away, the chains making a soft rustling sound with her movements.

Seeing that Little Mugel had finally calmed down, Novia breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:

"So, little Mugel, what impressions do you have of the Armenian sea goddess?"

The Armenian sea goddess, a deity who had contact with the One God in the epic, gave birth to the Sasson people.

Novia found it hard to imagine how this sea goddess could have done it. Although from a later perspective, this was Armenians embellishing their local hero after converting to Christianity, the fact that Little Mugol actually appeared suggests that it was probably true.

"...Have you even forgotten your great-great-grandmother?"

Upon closer reflection, even Little Mggle was somewhat confused.

The god, whom all living beings cannot defeat, is a supreme being who can command all living beings in the world with a wave of his hand.

She suddenly wondered, what was his reason for creating the Sassoon family, this heroic clan? Was it because of his love for his great-grandmother? That seemed impossible; how could a god of that era possibly have such a reason…

"But to be honest, I don't really remember it..."

Little Mgleton paused, "But I vaguely remember seeing it once in a dream when I was born, though I've almost forgotten the details. My great-grandmother seemed to be carrying some kind of snack, and oh right, I saw something that looked like a title—"

The gray, gloomy, gray area seemed to be filled with beings indulging in vanity and desire, beings that intended to deny everything.

"Daughter of the Storm"

……

So, let's move the stage to a room in an ordinary, unremarkable world.

"...Lushena."

Upon hearing the voice, the blue-haired girl, who had been in a daze, regained consciousness.

I felt completely dazed.

She hurriedly rubbed her eyes and found that the four people in front of her were still eating, but the atmosphere was a little strange.

Perhaps it was because he, as the false Vairocana, met the real Vairocana.

"Still not used to it? Don't overthink it. I say you are, and that's it. Neither the Enlightened One nor the Great Sun can interfere."

"Yeah, it's nothing, you're worrying."

The girl shook her head at the gentle-looking Real Vairocana and added, "When should I return to my teacher?"

Upon hearing this, apart from the young man with straight hair, a beard, and a crown of thorns who was still eating heartily as if oblivious to the world around him, the other three Buddhas all looked embarrassed. In particular, the Great Sun, wearing sunglasses, pulled a pink lollipop out of his mouth and couldn't help but feel awkward about the gaze cast by the Awakened One beside him.

In fact, not long ago he confessed to Jue Zhe and Vairocana that he had used some newly learned alchemical techniques to create a Vairocana, but accidentally ended up in another world.

Then Vairocana volunteered to go and search for it, and suddenly he had a "what a good kid" expression. Afterwards, he saw the Vairocana he had created standing next to the real Vairocana. By the way, the real Vairocana said that he could call himself by another name, "Vairocana," for now.

The two then learned about what had happened earlier from Vairocana. As for the Awakened One, he remained calm, as if he had known all along... Perhaps that was indeed the case.

And so, there was silence.

"Lushena".

Suddenly, Vairocana spoke.

Sensing his intention, the blue-haired girl raised her eyes.

Dairi's eyes, hidden behind pink sunglasses, trembled slightly. She removed the sunglasses, exposing her inner eyes to the outside air.

"I accept you. From now on, you are my sister."

"...Well, since it was my fault, I have no choice but to accept it."

"You two are quite capable of doing things. Fine, since you two are like this, then I'll just wait until I'm like this too."

Before Vairocana could react, the door of the house was pushed open, and a young man wearing a crown of thorns walked in carrying vegetables. When he saw the others besides Vairocana, he happily came over and shook hands with each of them.

"Long time no see. There are still enlightened beings in the Great Sun Realm. Are you here to visit Little Lu? You've come at the perfect time. These dishes of mine are... um, and who is this gentleman?"

"My sister."

"……ha?!"

Then, back to the present, since the group's chopsticks hadn't moved for a while, Jesus, who had been engrossed in his meal, looked up and casually asked:

"Little Lu, who is your teacher?"

It is indeed strange that Lushena also knew about the Trinity, because logically speaking, the Jesus in front of him should have a similar aura to Novia.

Despite her confusion, she cautiously asked, "Theoretically, that should be you too."

"I?!"

Jesus was so surprised that he almost choked on the cabbage in his mouth.

"Because of the Trinity."

"Oh, this thing."

Upon hearing this, Jesus' reaction calmed down. He put his outstretched hands together in a prayer position. "Are you talking about something on Earth, or something in the universe? Wait, aren't you Lu's sister? You should understand, right?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

So says the Savior of the Church.

Just like buying groceries as usual, and as calm as a teacher announcing the answer.

"Anyway, it's not my fault. It should be my father's fault. He clearly wanted to lend a helping hand, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He kept repeating, 'The world below is so dark. If we can live well like this, that's enough. I'm already content. There's no need to do anything more.' He kept repeating this sentence all day long, which annoyed me. So I had no choice but to take action."

Accompanied by his eloquent speech, he now placed his hand on his forehead and gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! To save face for my father, I swallowed my pride and called my younger brother 'father' so many times!"

Chapter 542 Youzhu, just go for it.

"Little Youzhu is really amazing. She was able to persevere for so long. Such character is truly commendable."

"Shut up."

Just like the weather outside, the sky inside the Kuonji residence was also a gray, overcast color.

In the living room, which had some modern technology, Kuonji Yuzu sat on the sofa as usual, holding a cup of black tea in one hand and gripping a book tightly in the other.

"You did some really annoying things, and that's just how it is."

The moment the voice that had been swirling in her mind faded, Kuonji Yuju uncontrollably put down her tea and, with an extremely cold gaze, placed her pen on the blank space of her book.

It was as if they were about to write something down at any moment.

"I told you to stop right now, Yumina."

Before the new era was established, magicians who entered the Clock Tower would hear the name of the Second Magician, Zelrich, whether they intended to or not. When they rose to the Open position, they would learn the name of another magician, the First Magician, Yumina, who was also the name of the Clock Tower's plant family.

Of the five great laws so far, the first and fifth are special, as they are magics brought from the source. The other two, three and four are magics that reach the source. Moreover, unlike the magic of the Age of Gods, the five great laws are the laws of the universe, not the laws of the stars.

The content related to the First Law can be seen in the Bond Craft Essence of Swimsuit Enchantress: 'Write down what happened in a book, and then understand it as magic.'

That was the magic of the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom, a mysterious and original form of existence that magicians throughout human history had forgotten.

Anything related to the First Law is more or less related to witches. Of course, this excludes titles defined by humans before Christ. It mainly depends on bloodline. Except for direct descendants of Yumina, if a witch has a child with a human, it will cause the witch to have 'mixed bloodlines and a corrupted soul'. Beryl's mother is a representative of this. If it is a direct descendant, it is the pure-blooded witch Maine, the mother of Ayumi.

Of course, theoretically, there's also the Sajō family. After all, the blessing on Mrs. Sajō disappeared after giving birth to Aika, and she's from England, uses black magic, plus there's the aura of the Lake Fairy Vivian in the garden, so there's a lot of connection.

However, the requirement to transform the 'written story' into a mysterious one is not limited to the past, but also includes new things.

Yuzhu's friend, whom she met in London before, was the 'Coal Witch' who rose to power through the Industrial Revolution and was once the monarch of the plant family, Lydel.

"Fourteen years ago, in this era, you wrote down your wishes, didn't you, Little Pearl?"

At that moment, Kuonji Yuju's expression was incredibly complex.

Fourteen years ago, when the new era had just begun, a witch living in Akihabara, after completing her daily task of observing the outside world, curiously approached a candy machine that had long been deserted and forgotten by the survivors of a catastrophe. She inserted a coin, and with a click, candy fell out, but it wasn't the kind the witch wanted.

"I made a wish for something I wanted, but what came out was something different."

It's just like life. For example, she wanted to protect the Kuonji residence, but she was able to save it thanks to Chitose Manzuru.

So the witch hurried home and put her idea into practice—

People who have just experienced the World War have countless wishes in their hearts: they want their families to come back, they want their followers to die, they want to commit suicide, they want to feel alive, they want to succeed, they want to get married, they want peace of mind, they want to be loved, they want to change the ending, they want to make up for the loss, they want to find that happiness again, they want to forget that time. This is the Fairy Tale Monster Wishing Star Box, a gashapon machine for wishes.

However, the witch ultimately did not extract the wish, but simply abandoned it somewhere in the mansion.

“That’s all in the past, Yumina. I have no desires.”

Her words, spoken with a bored expression, were slightly different from her responsibilities as a witch, and were mixed with some inexplicable anxiety.

"No, you do."

The witch was once again silenced by Yumina's extremely confident voice, and could only ask in return, "...Wishes, where are they? I have no wishes."

"Then you'll have to ask yourself."

Yumina paused for a moment, "Of course I will write down your wishes in the book as they are. You know, Yuju, I won't lie to you... unless you deny it."

Upon hearing this, hostility flashed in the witch's eyes.

To say that she was being hypocritical? This is unforgivable. Even if it's an ancestor, or someone who is her enemy, it doesn't matter, because it is an extremely serious insult to her.

Despite her appearance remaining untouched by time, the witch, who has adhered to her principles for fifty years, doesn't feel she has any desires whatsoever. If she does, it's simply to help Aoko retain more data.

Therefore, the witch allowed Yumina to control her body and write down what she believed to be her wishes in the margins of the book—

Brew a cup of black tea and enjoy the cool breeze.

Let me think for a moment about the origin of this feeling.

It's like having perfectly brewed and perfectly heated black tea in a cozy little study.

A cup of black tea on the table, illuminated by candlelight.

Sometimes it's like walking with you under the shade of trees, feeling the gentle breeze.

All of these things are unrelated, but they all involve you.

It's you, the junior colleague Utsumi Erise who trusts me, who likes me, and you've always liked her too.

and so.

As I contemplate yesterday's desires and fantasize about the future, I gaze at the crimson Command Seal in my hand, in this world where you sometimes fill my heart and sometimes vanish from my sight.

Therefore, the past and the future are both filled with the wind and black tea that are with you now.

So, let me take another sip of black tea, just like the sweetness you gave me that day. I can only dream about it, and can only dream about it.

But I don't care.

Because we have a long time—

"...What nonsense are you writing?"

Yumina was forced to stop writing by Yuju's seemingly indifferent demeanor.

Am I writing nonsense?

Yumina controlled the subtle curve of Yuzhu's lips. "You had an unspoken wish, and I helped you. That's good enough, especially since it was just a small favor. The person who said that to you was an idiot, wasn't they? I remember you thinking something like that back then. I made some changes, but little Yuzhu, you should remember it very clearly, right?"

"Yes, I remember, but that's not true."

How could Kuonji Yuzu not remember him, the one who saved her with such a simple wish, and the one who spoke gently to Louis, who was about to disappear, using his own body?

How should I put it? Such familiar words, and that one extra sentence, were enough to disturb the heart of Kuonji Yuju.

Demon King...

"Hehe, your throat and stomach are both glistening. Heh, eating emotions is really against common sense, but after all, it's Little Pearl. Why did you get angry after I pointed it out?"

"Never mind me, you're the one who's angry, Yumina."

Well……

I was more perceptive than usual today. Was it because I directly and bluntly pointed it out?
