Noon.
Bright sunlight streamed in.
Ayato stretched lazily and glanced at Kisara beside him.
'Who would have thought that Kisara, still in her novice period, could have such a wild side?'
'Probably,'
'This was also her releasing her pent-up emotions after having her heart unlocked.'
Ayato didn't disturb her. Instead, he took out some research materials and read them quietly.
[Origin +980]
[Origin +960]
[Origin +970]
Time passed slowly.
Before he knew it, Ayato had finally put down the last page.
'I've finished reading the materials Sumire gave me.'
Putting down the documents, Ayato sighed.
As his strength grew, he had also developed some practical speed-reading magic.
What would take ordinary people months or even longer to learn was effortless for him.
Then,
Ayato summoned the virtual panel and began adding points.
Hum!
Lights flickered.
Ayato felt his strength increasing rapidly.
Finally,
Almost all the Origin Points were used up.
[Mori Ayato]
[Class: Origin Magician]
[Magic: Origin Lightning Magic LV93 (+)]
[Origin: 112 points]
'All the Origin Points accumulated during this time... only raised it by three levels?'
'But the increase in power is even greater.'
Looking at the text, feeling his own state, a smile appearing the corner of Ayato's mouth.
Although improving Origin Magic was becoming increasingly difficult...
Each level up provided a power increase incomparable to before.
"Hmm?"
Ayato's expression shifted. He noticed Kisara had been awake for a while, poking him occasionally with her tail.
Seeing this,
Ayato grabbed it and gently squeezed.
"Iyaah!"
Kisara's body trembled. She used her hands to support herself.
Her breathing slowly quickened.
"What, no more mischief?"
Ayato said with a smile.
He felt this servant was really becoming more and more audacious.
Kisara gave Ayato a charming look, but her tail swayed and coiled around his little brother.
"Hiss!"
Ayato inhaled sharply and directly gave it a slap.
"It seems you are very eager to learn."
Kisara looked up with a smile. "Mm... after all, I just became Master's servant. There's still a lot I don't understand."
Ayato smiled slightly. "Don't worry about that. I am very patient with my servants."
"Okay, Master."
That day,
The glow of the setting sun was particularly dazzling.
Having taught Kisara again, Ayato walked out of the elevator feeling refreshed.
Seeing Ayato come out,
Seitenshi, who was drinking tea, immediately blushed.
Her gaze darted away, afraid to look at Ayato.
'It went on that long?'
'So terrifying.'
'Was Tendo-san okay?'
'Why did it feel like, given Master's strength, the field really could be plowed to ruin?'
"What, didn't go back to the Holy Residence?"
Ayato sat down, enjoying the food Medusa had prepared. "I thought you'd be busy today."
"Indeed, I am busy. With the Minister's death, everything has fallen into chaos."
Speaking of business, Seitenshi smiled bitterly. "I just got free and came here..."
"What, have any ideas?"
"..."
Seitenshi fell silent.
She thought of everything that had happened in the meeting today.
The officials who held the lifeline of the entire Tokyo Area were all like ants on a hot pan.
Basically, no one cared about how the Tendo Family was destroyed or what impact it would have on Tokyo.
They only cared if the perpetrator would come after them.
Some people even wanted to take their anger out on the Cursed Children.
Others went straight to fighting over power and profit.
In short!
The meeting had been going on for so long, it was like a vegetable market, complete chaos.
"It seems it wasn't pleasant."
Ayato said, unsurprised. "In that case, do you still insist on your own view?"
"Please, Master, give me a little more time."
Hesitating, Seitenshi said with difficulty, "Perhaps those in power are already corrupt, but the common people might still be changeable."
"Is that so?"
Ayato looked at her with a half-smile. "Alright, we'll follow your plan."
"But when can you implement the first step?"
"..."
Seitenshi felt like an arrow had pierced her heart.
That really stung.
Because she really hadn't figured out any way.
Today, she tried to bring it up again.
But none of those officials even paid her any attention.
"Alright, don't worry. I respect my servants' choices."
Ayato shrugged and smiled. "As long as you have an idea, go ahead and try."
After all, this world would be his sooner or later.
There was no rush.
