An Unknown Fate

Chapter 78:Rinne-Tensei

The so-called "monsters" are cockroaches.
　　
After figuring this out, Rin Aozaki also recovered from surprise.
　　
However, because his eyes can't see, he doesn't know what the "monster" that can make Arisu's emotions so excited look like.
　　
Even if he regained his glasses and put them on, he could only see that the top layer of the bookshelf seemed to have only a faint white dot moving slightly.
　　
But fortunately, Robin, who heard a strange noise, flew in from outside the door and glanced at the situation in the library.
　　
It is clear that the enchanter who only knows the appearance of the robin, but when facing the cockroach, he was the first to panic and fly around, and it was precisely because of Robin's restlessness that the cockroach that was still on the bookshelf flapped its wings and flew out directly through the open window, as if frightened.
　　
Seeing this scene, he had been holding his breath, holding Arisu, who was hiding in the corner with the boy, and his body slowly relaxed as if he was relieved.
　　
Looks like I'll have to take time to clean up...
　　
Looking at the few books scattered on the floor and the fallen ladder, unable to determine whether there were any "monsters" lurking in the shelves, Arisu's eyes showed a little hesitation, as if thinking about whether to put things away now.
　　
And as if feeling the girl's emotions, Rin Aozaki suggested.

"Leave it to me when you pack up,Arisu onee-chan go to rest first." Also, please don't worry about me, I'm not the same as before, I can see a little bit. "
　　
Hearing this, Arisu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when she said it just now, thanks to the boy's timely reaction, she didn't get hurt.
　　
But does a child at this age already have such a reaction speed? And although it is not her boast, her weight is indeed thin compared to her peers, but even this weight should not be so easily picked up by a boy.
　　
Could it be that you are secretly exercising your body...
　　
After staring at Aozaki Rin's body for a while, Arisu's heart flashed with some doubts. However, she did not ask about this, and after hesitating for a while, she shook her head and spoke.
　　
“...... No, let's clean up together. "
　　
Glancing coldly at the mockingbird who was chattering on the side, the girl stopped the other party from shutting up with her eyes, and then accompanied the boy to tidy up the library.
　　
"Speaking of which, are you planning to bring this book back?" Don't you need me to read it to you? "
　　
After cleaning up the library and returning to the living room,Arisu glanced at the book "The Legend of King Arthur" placed next to the boy on the opposite side of the sofa, and suddenly spoke.
　　
"That's too troublesome Arisu Onee-chan. And Touko Onee-chan helped me make a gramophone that could specifically recite words, and I could use that to listen to when I went back. "
　　
“...... Well. "
　　
For some reason, he felt a trace of discomfort in the girl's cold voice, and Rin Aozaki blinked in confusion, thinking that this was probably his own illusion.
　　
After all, when he was still young, the girl would indeed hold him often and recite some fairy tales for him who was blind, but as he grew older and the frequency of visits decreased, the other party rarely did this anymore.

But more importantly, Rin Aozaki didn't want to waste the girl's time too much because of her own affairs. With the help of more convenient tools, it can also reduce the burden on others.
　　
The air in the living room was quiet again.
　　
Rin Aozaki drank the black tea so slowly, and did not disturb the girl who returned her attention to the page, listening to the sound of the clock ticking slowly, and the movement of the girl gently turning the pages, I couldn't help but feel that it was indeed a lucky thing to have such plenty of time to enjoy the whole afternoon quietly, and a smile appeared on her little face.
　　
However, the peaceful time is always short, and before you know it, the sun has set in the west, the sunset is dyed in magnificent colors in the sky, and the living room is lit up brightly in time.
　　
With a special knock on the door, Rin Aozaki understood that someone had come to pick him up and go home.
　　
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm here to pick up Rin. That kid shouldn't have caused you trouble, right? "
　　
Outside the entrance, Aozaki Touko looked at the boy behind Arisu with a shallow smile on her face and greeted the girl.
　　
"Nope. Compared to Rin, you and that sister of yours are the physiques that cause trouble. "
　　
Arisu's merciless complaining made a trace of embarrassment flash on Touko's face.
　　
After all, once on a rainy evening in the past, for safety reasons, the girl planned to let the boy stay in the mansion for one night, but her sister Aoko visited the Koenji Mansion in the rain after returning from school and learned about it, insisting that "only two people on a rainy day is too dangerous", cheekily being a guest for one night, and her action power is really scary from a certain point of view.
　　
"It's really an exaggeration, Aoko is okay, I'm not that extreme."
　　
I don't know what I was defending, but Touko took Rin's hand, and before leaving, she seemed to remember something and asked again.
　　
"By the way, Arisu, have you 'discovered' anything recently?"
　　
"If you're referring to the disappearance of people during this time, I can only say that I have no clue. After all, those things happened next door to Misaki City, and my enchantments weren't strong enough to detect that area. "

Understanding what Touko was referring to,Arisu paused for a moment and shook his head in reply.
　　
Although the spiritual vein manager of this land is the Aogasaki family, that is, the girl in front of her. However, since she is also a personal friend of Aozaki Touko occasionally, Arisu will assist the other party to "monitor" the situation in this area.
　　
Of course, most of the time, those things are not really necessary.
　　
Because no foreign magician would be stupid enough to directly make a big move on the land where magic still exists. At most, that group of people only dared to send some people to observe the situation.
　　
“...... I know. Since that's the case, then don't worry about this for the time being, just keep basic vigilance, I probably thought too much before. "
　　
After all, more than a week ago, when he first learned that people were starting to disappear around Misaki City,Touko thought that someone had come specifically for Misaki City.
　　
But after waiting for a while, the enchantment she maintained did not detect any foreign magicians, which made her wonder that this incident might just be some ordinary criminal incident.
　　
Thinking about the essence of this matter,Touko noticed that Rin Aozaki "looked" at her with a slight worry.
　　
After she reacted, she smiled and said.
　　
"It's okay, it should be just an ordinary thing, and it has nothing to do with Misaki City. Even if something really happens, I'm there. Okay, let's go home now, Rin. "
　　
"Hmm. But if something happens,Touko Onee-chan shouldn't force herself too much. Although inheriting magic may seem important, rest is also important. "
　　
Knowing that Aozaki Touko seemed to be worrying about something extra during this time, Aozaki Rin did not know the reason originally, but now he understood, and dissuaded with some worry.

"Don't worry, I'm not Aoko, I know something."
　　
Chuckling, not annoying the boy's concern,Touko took each other's little hands, and after saying goodbye to Arisu, the two gradually disappeared into the sunset ramp under the girl's gaze.
　　......
　　
At the same time, in a small, shady hotel where the sun does not shine.
　　
The hideous sound like several wild beasts nibbling on food echoed quietly in the room, but no one noticed the situation.
　　
There is no other reason, but blood is because there is no living person in this hotel.
　　
The corridor was full of blood and the remains of severed limbs, and in the room, a middle-aged man wearing a black coat, short gray hair, and a stereotypical face was looking down at a piece of special amber in his hand.
　　
There was nothing special inside the golden amber, just a bead of blood that seemed to be flowing with a strange brilliance.
　　
The blood beads did not seem to be solidified, but as if they contained vitality, they trembled slightly up and down in all directions, as if guiding something.
　　
"Is the 'snake' giving at most only leading the way to this extent... Anyway, the surrounding area has already been investigated, and the only thing left is the land where the magic messenger is located?
　　
"I hope that you can complete my research as the 'snake' said,Rinne-Tensei's child..."
