Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 166

Title: The Next Plan

“Mhm...” Emilia seemed hesitant for a moment, then continued, “Initially, I didn’t follow your approach, but as you said, this is the best way for Betty to get relief. At least Betty in the illusion is very happy, and at the end of the illusion, Ayanokouji, also became a little different...”

“I became a little different?” Ayanokouji frowned slightly. Regarding this, he did feel the same and was also very curious.

“How to say it? Ayanokouji didn’t really care about others at first, but in the end, you felt... a little concerned about others.” Emilia looked at him.

“Really?” Ayanokouji pondered for a moment.

Caring about others, he believed that this was basically impossible for him. Although he felt that there were indeed some changes in himself in the video, he didn’t think that he would open his heart to others where he needed to care.

The only possibility was that his other self considered these people to have a very high utilization value, that’s all.

However, this gave him a new idea in his mind, and he might be able to take advantage of this.

“So, Emilia, do you think that change is good?” Ayanokouji asked.

“Huh?” Faced with that question, Emilia was a little stunned, then immediately said firmly, “Of course! I prefer Kiyotaka like that!”

Realizing that she had inadvertently used a term that was too affectionate just now, Emilia’s face turned a little red, and she quickly lowered her head and explained: “No, no, I mean... My preference isn’t like referring to that... It’s because I think my past experiences were too difficult...”

”My past?”

“Mm... we know what you experienced before... that inhumane White Room plan...”

“So that’s it, do you know about something like that?”

“Yes... That’s why I know the reason why Ayanokouji became like this. It was a really excessive experience. You’ve never felt the attention and warmth from others... But please believe me, Ayanokouji, I will definitely let you get out of that incident!” Emilia said with determination, and she patted her chest confidently, with a smile on her face.

”Really? Thank you very much.”

Seeing her smile, Ayanokouji replied calmly, without any change in expression on his face.

‘After seeing that vision, knowing that I was taking advantage of her, but still choosing to contact me, it’s really a strange choice. Roswaal hopes that I can help him revive Echidna, and Elsa is eager to follow me to satisfy her desire to kill, but Emilia’s reason is just to change me. The meaning is unclear, the goal is unclear, and it’s hard to understand. If she just watched the video, she shouldn’t be so obsessed with me.’ Ayanokouji didn’t understand Emilia’s behavior.

He didn’t consider the White Room Plan to be a loss for himself. It was a fair trade to exchange worldly feelings for knowledge and talent that most people would never learn in their lifetime.

The most important thing was that he didn’t know what the benefits of so-called love were for him, so even if he lost love, he wouldn’t feel anything bad.

Moreover, things in the past had already happened. There was no such thing as reincarnation of death in another world, and what had happened wouldn’t change.

“I’ve never felt the warmth from others, and I’m very eager to know it.” Ayanokouji said to her.

“Leave it to me!” The smile on Emilia’s face became even brighter. Judging from the current situation, Ayanokouji didn’t seem to reject her idea.

However, Emilia didn’t expect that her desire to help him would become a tool ready to be used.

Ayanokouji planned to pretend that he had indeed been gradually changed by Emilia in the future.

In this way, he could gradually gain the trust of everyone in Emilia’s camp.

This change shouldn’t be too fast, because it would look too wrong, nor should it be too slow, which would affect efficiency. Ayanokouji needed to create more opportunities for him to interact with Emilia.

Although it might take more time, he was confident that he could turn these people into his tools again.

“Ayanokouji, do you have any questions to ask me?” Emilia asked with a smile.

“I’ve heard you talk about a place called Sanctuary before?” Ayanokouji took this opportunity to direct the topic to the location of Sanctuary.

He remembered that there was a special barrier in Sanctuary, and it would be difficult to find the location without a special crystal.

For him, who couldn’t appear in public for the time being, Sanctuary was a place where he could move freely for a while without worrying about being discovered by people from other factions.

In addition, he didn’t have any mortal enemies in Sanctuary.

In the illusion, Ayanokouji had once put the entire Arlam Village in a dangerous situation, and as a result, many people died. Therefore, the residents of Arlam Village regarded him as a symbol of disaster, even though it wasn’t actually the case. Let him enter the mansion so that it would be easy to monitor him. There was no problem staying there for a short time, but it was inconvenient for him to operate if he stayed there for a long time in Roswaal’s territory, only Sanctuary was the most suitable base for him at the moment.

Not only that, Ayanokouji could also recruit other helpers in Sanctuary.

Although he had threatened Garfiel with Ryuzu’s clone in the illusion and made the other party obey his orders, but apart from that, he didn’t do anything to the people in Sanctuary. Even for them, Ayanokouji, who led the liberation of Sanctuary, could even be said to be a hero.

And the most important thing was that he might be able to take command of Echidna again.

However, because of the illusion, he was worried that people all over the world already knew the existence of Echidna’s true form, and it was very likely that this would attract the arrival of his previous enemies, and even if Echidna was revived, she wouldn’t be able to show her face in public, after all, she was still known as a witch.

But considering the pros and cons, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages of attracting Echidna to his camp. She has extraordinary knowledge, and there are other witches in her soul.

“That’s right.” Emilia nodded.

“What do you mean by liberating Sanctuary before?” Ayanokouji continued to ask.

“The place in Sanctuary...” Emilia then explained the situation in Sanctuary, the boundaries of Sanctuary, the trials, various things about Echidna.

Although Ayanokouji already knew this information, he still pretended to be learning it for the first time.

“So it turns out that there is a place called Sanctuary. The residents there are equivalent to being locked in a cage, living in isolation. They must be very short of supplies and the like.” Ayanokouji said.

“You’re right.” Emilia replied, “I am indeed ready to liberate Sanctuary so that the residents inside can regain their freedom.”

“If that’s the case, I will go with you when the time comes. I would like to use this opportunity to learn more about this world.”

“Yes!” A smile appeared on Emilia’s face.

“Ishigami, what are you doing? Your expression is so disgusting!”

Iino said with a look of disgust.

At this moment, there was a strong friction between Ishigami’s upper and lower jaws, and a loud sound came from between his teeth.

“Why exactly? In the last video, Ayanokouji had so many women around him. I wouldn’t say anything. Why this time, he just came to that world, but these women are still by his side, why! I also want to experience that kind of Shuraba field, the feeling of competing with the opposite sex with myself as the core!”

Ishigami kept talking, unaware that the people standing behind him were quietly taking a step back.

“This time can be said to be very difficult.”

In a dark room somewhere, Sora said to Shiro that he thought this time travel would be a real hell for Ayanokouji.

The Return by Death ability has been known, and its methods and personality have also been understood by others, which means that the methods in the prophecy are no longer needed, and the people around him will be more wary of him.

What should he do this time?

“But, if it’s Ayanokouji, maybe he can overcome this difficulty.”

Shiro raised her head slightly and said to her brother.

And Sora also smiled: “Yes, I think so too. After all, he is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.”

He was very curious about Ayanokouji’s next plan.

The scene changed, a day later, everyone finally returned to Roswaal’s territory at night.

To avoid possible surveillance outside the mansion, they didn’t immediately return all the way to the mansion. Instead, they asked Beatrice to use teleportation magic to move everyone back to the mansion.

“Welcome back.” Rem and Frederica seemed to have been waiting for a long time and bowed deeply to everyone.

‘Frederica was called back by Roswaal before.’ Ayanokouji thought to himself.

In the video, Frederica returned to the mansion after Roswaal went to Sanctuary. It seems that to gather his strength, Roswaal called Frederica back early.

Ayanokouji observed Frederica and Rem’s expressions, their eyes always focused on him from time to time.

Curiosity, nervousness, suspicion, but mostly distrust and indifference.

After all, after watching the video, they all already knew what kind of person Ayanokouji was.

Especially for Rem, Ayanokouji was a sinner who killed many villagers.

Even if this hadn’t happened yet.

“Yay, Brother Ayanokouji!” A little girl’s voice sounded.

Ayanokouji turned his head and looked up. Meili was wearing a maid’s uniform, hugging a teddy bear and walking quickly towards him.

He wasn’t surprised. After all, Roswaal had won Elsa’s heart, and Meili would naturally follow her.

According to the original plot, Meili should have been hiding in Arlam Village, but because the illusion in the sky had revealed her true identity, she had no way to continue to disguise herself, and Roswaal also took action.

But at this moment, Ayanokouji didn’t reveal the fact that he knew Meili.

“Hello, who are you?” Ayanokouji asked. He knew that Roswaal’s eyes were on him, observing his movements.

“Huh, Brother Ayanokouji doesn’t remember me!” Meili puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, “Then, Brother Ayanokouji must die!”

Although it was obvious that she was just a little girl in her early ten years, this girl said such terrifying words very naturally.

“You can’t be so casual, Meili.” Elsa smiled, then turned to look at Ayanokouji, “This is Meili who I mentioned earlier, Master, just treat her as my sister.”

“So that’s it, please give me advice when we first meet, Meili.” Ayanokouji greeted her.

“Huh, Elsa, that's only because you kissed her in the illusion, so you can speak on his behalf!" Meili pouted.
