best villain

Soviet realist Fadeyev once said:

"The more young people are inspired by the power of role models, the more they will shine brightly..."

For Asuna, Ling Yi is not only a mysterious character like those in the novel, but also a trustworthy person.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to say that it is the goal of chasing.

Because there is always a sense of crisis in her heart.

"what..."

A sigh echoed in the bathroom.

After breakfast, Asuna seemed to be clearing her mind, slowly took off the clothes on her body, went into the bathroom to wash her hair in the shower, and then soaked in the bathtub in a daze.

Her mood was like this sigh.

"That guy, even though he is a lover, he doesn't tell me anything, even if it's just a superficial relationship... no... just because it's a superficial relationship, he needs to be more prepared. But until now he hasn't even said a word 'like' But, just unilaterally announcing the relationship between lovers, this is simply too unreasonable. If it were any other girl, she would cry for you, don’t you even know that even though she’s very smart?”

Having said that, Asuna can only talk to herself like this when she is alone.

She deeply realized how difficult it is to like someone.This is probably the true face of the sense of crisis in my heart.

a few days later.

Hotel fine dining restaurant.

"Am I hated?"

After Ling Yi said "I have to leave first", Asuna's expression froze, the knife and fork stopped in mid-air, and she couldn't help but look at Kushra who was standing aside like a deacon.

There was some doubt in the voice.

"this..."

Kushra was in trouble, and he didn't know what to say.

"My lord...has been quite busy recently"

If this is the case, it can be forgiven, but Asuna always feels that something is wrong.

"Business?"

"Yes. Some social entertainment. Although my lord seems to be very good at this kind of thing, but if there are too many times, everyone will get bored. I think it is because of this reason that I rarely pay attention to Ms. Asuna these days. .”

"Mr. Kusla means that Ling Yi doesn't want to bring boredom to me?"

"I can't think of a better explanation. Besides, the magic guidance these days has reached a critical moment. If Asuna doesn't believe my one-sided words, you might as well take this opportunity to observe carefully. Words can deceive people, and eyes can also deceive people. In this world full of deceptions, the only one you can trust is yourself—this is the exact words of our lord." Asuna said in amazement.

Still, the mood did calm down a bit.

The specific time for magic guidance is mostly arranged in the afternoon.

The same is true today.

The hotel suite is three rooms and one living room.It was more than enough to accommodate three people, but Kushra insisted on opening a single room downstairs on the grounds that 'subjects should not pass'.

Thus, Ling Yi and Asuna had a legal affair.

Although shy and a little timid at first.But after getting used to it, Asuna began to doubt her own charm.

A skin-to-skin incident happened in the hot springs of the Caucasus Mountains, but Ling Yi was unmoved, like an ascetic monk in the medieval church. Although it is reassuring from a female standpoint, in a certain sense it makes people feel at ease. people disappointed.

Asuna still remembered a certain night.Wrapped up in a towel after taking a shower.Long flowing hair, delicate shoulders and collarbones, intertwined legs, rosy white skin.Anything can stimulate the most primal instinct in men.

Even...the pride far surpassing his peers squeezed out a deep career line.

despite this.Ling Yi just raised his head and glanced at her, then fiddled with the computer again.I don't know what he is doing, he seems to be very busy.

At that moment, no amount of shyness disappeared.

The indescribable blow caused Asuna to be in a trance all day the next day.Like a loser who has lost his purpose in life.

"...? Projection is a special magic that can reproduce the artist's creative concept into an actual work. If the magic power is high enough, the original mirror image can be materialized.? The level is above strengthening and changing. In the magic of this system It belongs to the highest level of difficulty. It can be reproduced with magic power from beginning to end, but because human beings have too many impressions, it is unlikely that the reproduced thing can realize all the abilities imagined. To put it bluntly, it is a very inefficient magic. And Because the projected thing is fantasy, it will be corrected in the world, and it will gradually become thinner as the magic power evaporates, and it can only exist for a few minutes.

Therefore, instead of projecting, it is more practical to replicate with real materials, which have far superior performance and duration than existing items that have been enhanced with magic.

For example, in your own timeline, you can project the lost original item in the form of only appearance for a few minutes to replace it. It is common to make a substitute for props that cannot be prepared in the current ceremony. usage?.However, I divide projection into two types, one is representational projection, which is a magic that materializes the mirror images and imitations of objects that existed in reality with magic power.But the duration is too short, and the failure rate is high, so it is regarded as a tasteless magic——by the way, are you listening? "

"..Eh? Listening!"

Hearing the cold reprimand, Asuna quickly corrected her attitude.

Seeing this, Ling Yi continued:

"Then, there is another method of projection, which requires the ability to reflect the fantasy mirror image that exists within oneself into reality. Due to its formation, it cannot be realized for a long time. Moreover, when the illusion has a flaw, it will also be fogged. Originally, the projection is a magic that reflects the lost prototype from the time axis that I know and replaces it. Therefore, the projected Things that actually exist, or have existed."

"That is to say, talent beyond imagination is not enough, you must have enough 'materials'. Talent and magic power are only part of it, and the remaining materials are 'knowledge' and 'understanding'."

"I see." Asuna said with relief.

"If I want to project a sword, I must have a deep enough understanding of that sword. Combined with imagination and magic power, I can project a fake that is not inferior to the original—that's what you mean, right?"

She narrated her views and cast expectant gazes at Ling Yi.

"Yes."

Ling Yi finally showed a smile.

"However, the amount of knowledge in this area is too large. It is different from magic theory, the structure of weapons, the origin of objects, etc. The written knowledge of the mythical magic sword and holy sword can fill up a British Museum. And I Although there are ways to help you, the knowledge instilled by the teaching method has a time limit, and things that cannot be proficiently and freely used are not considered to be your own strength. Conversely, as long as they are useful, take them It doesn't matter if you use it. Don't let your mind be bound, this is the 'chaosism' I believe in."

"Chaosism?"

"Use eclectic methods such as meditation and drugs to mobilize and amplify the magic power. As the name suggests. It emphasizes that there are no rules, no organization, no laws, and a faction that pushes pragmatism to the height of philosophy. Let's not talk about this, I have There are better ways to make up for your flaws."

"—!"

"Your eyes are glowing. Hey. Forget it, that method is more luck. But it's worth a try."…

When Ling Yi said that.The phone on the table vibrated suddenly.

"It is you..."

When he picked up the phone, his attitude was a little subtle.

Very interested.But it seems malicious.

It made Asuna feel weird.

But compared to this-

A female voice from the phone caught her attention.

I couldn't hear what was said, but it was definitely a young girl.

Asuna involuntarily mobilized her magic power to strengthen her hearing.

"Well. Then I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance."

The result was just a few brief conversations.

I didn't get any useful information at all, including the person's identity, approximate age, specific purpose, etc...

"That's all for today, I have something to go out."

"Eh?!"

Asuna didn't expect Ling Yi to leave immediately after hanging up the phone.

"Then... how about that method?"

"I'll tell you when I get back. I just have some doubts about that method and I have to ask an expert. By the way, I have some magic information on my computer desktop. You can take a look. It can't be said to pass the time, because it is very useful."

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"'Something' wrong...?"

Linked with the previous sentence 'I'll wait for you at the hotel gate', it really makes people care.

So, a few minutes later.

Asuna changed into plain clothes as quickly as possible, and then took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

She knew very well how keen Ling Yi's six senses were, so she cleverly hid in an inconspicuous place in the hall, and waited patiently.

The other party is a young girl, and the voice should be about the same age as her own.

In this way, it's easy to recognize, don't care about Ling Yi, just wait for that girl to appear.

In fact, Asuna couldn't figure out why she did this, she felt like those heroines in TV dramas who didn't trust their boyfriends and stalked them.

To be honest, this practice even made her feel ashamed.

A sense of betrayal-like guilt emerged.

But now there is no choice to back down, the worst thing is to apologize to Ling Yi afterwards, and to get his forgiveness no matter what, even if such and such things are done... Ah, what the hell am I thinking!

Just when Asuna's face was flushed, she had shiny and beautiful black hair.And it goes well with Yamato Nadeko's looks.Wearing the uniform of an unknown school, a cheerful-looking girl came into her field of vision.

"...Is it her?"

Just as Asuna guessed, the girl happily ran to Ling Yi's side, as if she wanted to scare him, but unfortunately she didn't succeed.

That's right, with Ling Yi's vigilance, there are very few things in this world that can scare him, or even impossible.

"Well, I should learn lip language."

It was too late to be upset at this time.

In sight, Ling Yi and the unknown cute girl took a taxi and left from the hotel.

What should I do next?

Asuna suppressed that strange irritability and calmly thought about countermeasures.

That's right, we must think about countermeasures!

This is not going to work, that girl is definitely not an ordinary person.

It only takes one glance to tell that he is much stronger than himself.Not referring to appearance.Although Asuna doesn't like to boast, she is still very confident in her appearance and figure, but it is not enough. This will not attract Ling Yi. She knows very well that her charm does not lie in her pure and delicate appearance, nor her hot figure. It is 'Ashina' made up of various factors.

But the other party has everything, and his appearance can be said to be second to none.

Aside from these appearances, the most striking thing is the sense of visual oppression.

I'm afraid only those who have learned magic will notice it.

Asuna bit her lip and thought for a while.Decided to go back to the room first.

Keep track, it's a fascinating proposition, but 100% will be found.

At that time, Ling Yi will definitely be angry.

After all.The relationship between them was just a superficial relationship, and even though she confessed unilaterally, she never got any reply.

In this way, the relationship remains at the original point.The so-called 'love is a matter of two people' is really true.

So, even if Ling Yi has a crush on other girls, so what?

Seeming to have lost all strength, Asuna returned to her room dejectedly.

Tonight, Ling Yi did not come back.

Asuna's heart was getting heavier.

"Mr. Kusla. Do you know where Ling Yi has gone?"

Persist after completing today's lesson.Asuna finally couldn't bear to find Kushra.

"I don't know."

Kusla shook his head calmly.

"Are you a knight?"

Asuna was angry.

But even after hearing such a blunt question, Khusla still didn't get angry.He just bowed his head slightly and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Asuna. Forgive me for being helpless. As a subject, you cannot interfere with my lord's private affairs. Besides, Ms. Asuna has no need to worry about my lord. He is a man who will never suffer. Please rest assured."

Of course I know this, but the point is not whether this is good or not.

Asuna swallowed those words hard.

Kushra probably didn't know that his master was most likely flirting with a beautiful girl, and even did something even more outrageous.

In any case, Ling Yi's majesty cannot be damaged, this is the only thing she can do.

"I see, I'm sorry for saying something too much."

"No, Miss Asuna cares about my lord, and she is happy as a subject."

What's the use of being happy, he won't be happy.

Asuna shook her head slightly.

"I'm going for a walk, I'll be back soon."

"Understood, please call me if you need anything."

"Thank you."

After thanking her, Asuna changed into casual clothes and left the hotel.

In fact she didn't know where to go.

Obviously it is Tokyo where I have lived for 17 years, but it is unexpectedly strange.

Asuna suddenly wanted to see her home.

That impersonal family is a high-end housing complex in Chiyo Ward.

It takes about half an hour to get there by taking the Chiyoda Line.

In Chiyo District, you can not only see retro streets and houses, but also many shrines.

In this way, after more than ten years, when Asuna was born, it is not surprising that it will become a gathering place for rich people.

"It's really hard to find it just based on impressions."

After wandering around for a while, Asuna felt a little thirsty, so she bought a few bottles of drinks at the convenience store.

After a few steps, she suddenly noticed a figure in front of the road.

She herself has a physique that is easy to attract amazed eyes, and that person is not inferior at all, and has a very eye-catching temperament of a young lady.

Her long black hair is loose and beautiful, her face is not inferior to that, and her body is slender.

But the thing that attracts people's attention the most is the slender cloth bag on her shoulders.

This cloth bag seems to contain a stick that is more than one meter long, maybe a sword or something.

Isn't this person the girl who met Ling Yi yesterday?

Asuna thought subconsciously.

Compared to her absent-mindedness, the girl showed a smile with ease.

She removed the cloth bag from her shoulders, and deftly opened the mouth of the bag with one hand.

The cloth bag fell to the ground, revealing the tachi stored in the scabbard.

The accumulated mantra became active in an instant, and Asuna suddenly became alert.

Only then did she realize that there was no one around.
