Chapter 821 - 821
Chapter 821 - 821
What the hell did this woman come here for?Holding onto this unresolved question, Eiji walked out of the small grove and rejoined Keiji Yaze and the others.
Surely she didn't come just to touch my face, right?
Could it be that this woman's heart is stirring?
Ew.
But it's not impossible, is it?
Eiji pondered to himself. Although he hadn't used any charm on Giada, it seemed he hadn't exposed his true nature in front of her either. The possibility that Giada held favorable feelings toward him was quite high.
Should I test her next time?
Eiji's heart began to stir restlessly.
The ever-changing Third True Ancestor, unlike Nina's liquid metal form, was a warm, soft, and fragrant body. He couldn't help but entertain a tiny bit of a bold idea in his mind!
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?"
Keiji Yaze cautiously approached, as if afraid of angering someone.
"What do you mean, what's wrong?"
Eiji looked at him, puzzled.
Keiji gestured with his chin toward the side.
Crunch!
Asagi bit down hard on her popsicle, her gloomy face filled with anger.
"She went looking for you earlier when she saw you were alone, and she came back like this," Keiji explained in a hushed voice.
Huh?
Could it be that she saw me talking to Giada?
Thinking back to what had happened earlier, Eiji quickly understood.
"Ah, that older sister earlier was really beautiful!" Eiji suddenly exclaimed loudly.
He subtly observed Asagi's reaction, ignoring the strange looks from passersby.
As soon as Eiji said this, Asagi's face darkened even further.
"Hey! Would it kill you to not stir up trouble?" Keiji exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly trying to stop him.
"What? Keiji, you like her too?" Eiji cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, wearing an expression that said, "I get it."
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't spout nonsense!" Keiji's face turned pale.
If such a reputation spread, he would definitely be looked down upon by Asagi afterward.
More importantly, he had recently been playing the role of a wise advisor for Asagi's love life. He could already imagine how many times he would be complained to afterward. To put it bluntly, he wouldn't have a moment of peace for the next month. Despite Asagi's appearance, she was actually the persistent type!
"Ah, who wouldn't like such a mature older sister? She's beautiful and has a great figure!" Eiji nodded emphatically, full of admiration.
Asagi's expression remained blank, but the hand holding the popsicle began to tremble.
"Too bad, it has nothing to do with me!" he suddenly lowered his head, looking dejected.
Hearing this, Asagi's hand stopped trembling, her expression brightened, and her steps became noticeably more cheerful.
What? So it has nothing to do with him? I was worried for nothing.
No, it's not like I care about his relationship with that older sister. I was just a little worried when I saw him wandering off alone. Yeah, that's all!
But… so he likes mature women? Asagi glanced down at her own chest.
She secretly made up her mind.
"You're such a terrible man. Is this really okay?" Keiji shot him a dead-fish stare.
Asagi was easily swayed by his words.
Why is this guy so damn smooth?
"What's wrong with me? Why are you slandering me out of nowhere?"
Eiji glared at him with displeasure.
"Don't you like sexy, beautiful older women? Didn't you used to collect big-breasted special editions?"
His words were full of persuasiveness.
"Well... in terms of like or dislike, I probably don't dislike them."
Yaze Motoki hesitated immediately.
Comparatively speaking, he was indeed a breast man - all the adult magazines hidden under his bed at home featured sexy older women.
"Ew, player!"
Eiji looked at him with contempt.
Yaze Motoki rolled his eyes hard.
Fine, I can't win against you. You're always right.
He'd better try to persuade Aso to give up on this bastard, otherwise she'd be angered to death by this asshole sooner or later!
Soon after.
A clock hidden somewhere in the dark night emitted eleven melodious chimes.
"It's already eleven?"
Eiji looked up at the bright moonlight, his thoughts unknown.
"Speaking of which, where are Kojou and the others?"
After visiting the shrine, the group had headed toward the nearest viewing spot.
However, they hadn't seen Kojou Akatsuki for a while, and Nagisa Akatsuki and Avrora were missing too.
"Seems like something came up."
Veldiana, walking at the front, spoke without turning back.
"The fireworks are about to start soon. What could they possibly have to do, disappearing now of all times?"
Eiji found this rather strange.
"It's that thing... about Nagisa Akatsuki's physical condition.Veldiana waved her hand, trying hard to hint.
"You know... that thing, you understand!"
Then she simply gave up.
Aso was immediately baffled - what was all this "that thing" business?
Yaze Motoki smiled without speaking, as if he had seen through everything long ago.
Eiji suddenly understood.
Nagisa Akatsuki's body hosted the soul of the Fourth True Ancestor. As long as this soul was returned to its original owner and made to return to Avrora's body, Nagisa Akatsuki's body would return to normal.
However, for some unknown reason, the Fourth True Ancestor's soul had been slow to leave Nagisa Akatsuki's body.
"That guy Kojou... could it be that he brought both Avrora and Nagisa out for this reason?"
Eiji's heart stirred.
He had thought it strange earlier - Nagisa Akatsuki suffered from demon race phobia, yet Kojou Akatsuki still brought Avrora along. Even if he deliberately kept distance between them, it still seemed too careless.
So this was the reason after all.
"Kyaaaaaa—!"
While they were speaking, hysterical screams came from not far away.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
"Could it be another magical disaster?"
The festival-goers were startled by the screams, and panic quickly spread through the crowd.
"That's Nagisa's voice, coming from over there!"
Yaze Motoki was the first to react.
Without hesitation, he rushed out and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.
"Aso, stay with Veldiana."
Eiji instructed Aso, giving Veldiana a warning look before rushing out after them.
He moved so fast that he disappeared before Aso could say anything.
"Really, why is everyone in such a hurry!"
Aso grumbled with great displeasure.
The reason for her displeasure wasn't being left alone, but rather her feeling that everyone seemed to be keeping secrets from her one after another. They never included her in anything, making her feel cut off, as if she had become an outsider.
Elsewhere.
In preparation for the announcement fireworks, the festival organizers had set up several viewing spots nearby.
Eiji followed Kijima Yase to the nearest viewing spot.
