Three women played a crucial role in Shinji's growth from an ordinary person who was powerless to a level comparable to that of top servants - Justisia, Scathach and Orange.
Justisa is the beginning of everything. She is the one who gave Shinji hope and opportunities, and is also his mentor.
Scathach is a true mentor who has fully developed his potential and given him the capital to reach the top of the world.
Oranges are the protectors.
After opening the door to power and granting the method, Shinji still has to practice on his own. It is inevitable that there will be some mistakes that he cannot handle, which may be in practice or in the mind.
In any case, he is an ordinary person who changed his career halfway. Even if he has enlightenment, it is not easy to change his mentality. In addition, this is the modern era, not the era that Yustiza and Scathach are familiar with. Without Orange's guidance in various senses, Shinji would never have achieved what he has today. He might have violated a taboo and died in the end.
It was during this process that he gradually fell in love with her, this woman with extraordinary talent but a tragic fate. Family, friend, guide, object of admiration, to be honest, he couldn't tell the difference, and didn't want to tell the difference.
He once confidently believed that he could find her and bring her back, but three years passed in the blink of an eye and he still hadn't returned.
During the days when she was away, he thought many times about when and where he would meet Orange again. He also thought about what he should do and what he should say when they met again.
Scold her harshly, even beat her up, and tell her how worried you and your family are
It is better to tell her directly that you will never let her go this time, and if she does not agree, you will restrain her by force.
Or use some methods that are not suitable for children
There are many more methods like this, some reliable, some unreliable, and some even sound like idiots, because he has a lot to say to her.
But when he held her in his arms and felt her presence, he realized that all the words he had thought about were insignificant. Only the last sentence remained, and that one sentence was enough.
"Sister, come back."
"Okay." Orange crossed her hands on her abdomen and gently pressed Shinji's hands.
"You, you—agreed?" Perhaps it was because he agreed too easily, Shinji couldn't believe his ears.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Orange turned her head and looked at the boy who was much taller than her with a half-smile, "Don't you want me to agree?"
"No, no, how could that be?" Shinji shook his head repeatedly, "Of course I hope so, welcome back, Orange."
"I'm back, Shinji." Orange's hands trembled slightly.
"I hope she won't disappear without a word again this time." This is what Shinji is most concerned about.
"No, I won't tell you even if I have to travel." Orange's voice was very soft, very soft, and there was something different from usual.
"Sister, what on earth are you thinking? You suddenly left and suddenly appeared again."
"You said, I am the wind, and the wind is so willful."
"sister!"
"Hehe." Seeing Shinji's familiar expression, Orange smiled, "I won't tease you anymore. I just want to test our fate."
"What's the result?"
"Fool."
At this point, how could Shinji not know the outcome? Isn't hugging her the best outcome
If we are destined to meet, we will meet even if we are thousands of miles apart; if we are not destined to meet, we will not even know each other even if we are face to face. The word "fate" is wonderful beyond words.
Suddenly, Shinji let out an "ah", as if he had thought of something, and quickly let go and stepped back, but was held down by Orange with a smile.
"Isn't it a little too late to realize now that this is the wrong place?"
"Sister, please stop laughing at me. I am thinking about you. You are a top puppeteer and I am just a nobody."
"What about me? When have I, Aozaki Touko, ever cared about what others think? Who among the magicians here has the right to question me?"
A top puppeteer, a magician who was included in the "sealed designation" list and then released, these two things are enough to overwhelm most magicians.
"I remember you were observing the environment before - to be honest, is the reason you didn't want to attract attention because you were going to do something bad?"
"I really can't hide anything from you. I really need to do something."
"The Queen asked you to do it."
"yes."
"Hmph. I knew it." Orange's snort became more and more like a little woman.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is very interesting and definitely to your liking."
"So confident?" Orange became interested. She was an incurable interestist. "Then I'll wait and see."
"Then can I..."
"I'll let you go."
Orange loosened her grip and naturally took two steps forward, escaping from Shinji's arms.
In fact, both of them knew that with Shinji's strength, Orange had no ability to resist. But Orange still held him down, and Shinji remained held down, because Orange would not hurt Shinji, and Shinji believed this, which was a tacit understanding between the two.
Sure enough, after Orange turned around, he raised his glass towards the sky.
"Don't worry, no one will look at us, they are all looking over there."
On the second floor "stage", a pair of maids who looked like twins appeared. Their postures that looked like reflections in a mirror and their beautiful faces made it no wonder that some people mistook them for Golden Princess and Silver Princess.
The two maids lifted their skirts, saluted (Curtsy) to everyone, and then spoke to the people behind them.
"Lady Diadra."
"Lady Estella."
"Come in."
As the two maids spoke together, the purple dress slowly separated from the shadow of the balcony.
Time was shattered.
All the feelings disappeared in that instant. No, even the clichéd word "instant" was blown away.
The eyes that looked down were like mythical gems. The ideal nose must have been created by a sculptor in heaven who risked his soul. The tightly closed lips reminded people of the petals of paradise, full of the light of youth that would never be lost. And all these metaphors were so stupid in front of this woman, who was so "" because of who she was.
At the end of losing all adjectives, what.
As a magus, I cannot easily say it out loud - this is the final place that only "" can express.
"I am Tiadra Baruereta Izeluma, the heir of the name 'Golden Princess'."
"I am Estiella Baruereta Izeluma, who inherited the name of 'Silver Princess'."
Even after hearing that voice, it still took the magicians present several minutes to regain their sanity.
Several magicians dropped their cups on the ground, staining their shoes red without caring. Some stood there completely without breathing, suffering from hypoxia, and some even knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.
If this was a mental attack caused by magic, no one would ignore it. After all, the magicians gathered here were all of a high standard, and the first thing a magician learns is to arm their mind. It was precisely because they were facing pure "magic", that the mental defense techniques they had practiced until now were easily torn apart like paper.
These are the twins recognized as the most beautiful in the Clock Tower, the pride of the Izeluma family - "Golden Princess" and "Silver Princess".
PS: Don't worry, it's impossible to have a harem. Anyone who has read the original novel should know the complicated relationships involved. In addition to picking up Orange, Erye also hopes to help Weber here.
