Fate/Magus Path

110 Miss Blue

Looking at the pale yellow liquid pushed in front of her, Aoko Aozaki was a bit surprised.

In this situation, the other party clearly seemed to want to strike up a conversation with her... right?

If he hadn't been so absorbed in playfully teasing the girl beside him, she would have definitely thought so.

Perhaps it was just out of good intentions; the other person didn't pay the slightest attention to her expression and, after handing her the cup, shifted his gaze away.

There was no hint of overstepping, and this behavior was completely different from those fools who had tried to flirt with her in the past.

After years of traveling, Aoko Aozaki had encountered all kinds of people, and the attitude displayed by this young man was not that of an ordinary person who couldn't resist the urge to hit on a pretty girl.

He exuded a special aura, giving off a sense of doing things purely based on his own feelings, regardless of whether they were good or bad. He was neither overly enthusiastic nor cold, with every move existing in a state of moderate balance, as if maintaining a strange equilibrium.

He was not an ordinary person.

Aoko Aozaki had this feeling.

Her sixth sense was usually very accurate.

However, after handing Aoko Aozaki a cup of hot tea, Roy didn't pay her any more attention.

Although he had promised Touko that he would help her deal with Aoko Aozaki, he was also eager to have a bout with the rumored Miss Blue, the Magician of the Fifth Magic, to verify his progress.

However, the original plan was to be executed after dealing with the matters regarding Crimson Moon, since Aoko Aozaki enjoyed traveling everywhere, making it hard to predict how long it would take to find her.

That's why Touko suggested that after resolving the situation, they could stay in Misaki Town, block Aoko Aozaki's home, and create some harmless disturbances to lure this guardian of the ley lines back.

Roy did not refuse this suggestion, as it was indeed more convenient to wait in one place than to search for an unpredictable Magician all over the world.

However, the current situation might have changed.

Roy had once pondered what kind of venue and in what manner he would meet this Magician of the Fifth Magic, but he hadn't expected the two Magicians' first meeting would occur in an ordinary roadside noodle shop, and by coincidence, they would be sitting at the same table.

However, it was clear that the other party did not recognize him.

This was quite interesting.

"...Hmm?"

Not long after Roy invited Aoko Aozaki to sit down, the nearby Shiki recognized some unusualness.

Roy's special attention towards Aoko Aozaki, even if it was just a few glances in secret, was enough to catch Shiki's eye.

A very pretty girl, and quite young; if she were outside, she would undoubtedly be the object of desire for most men.

However, for this guy, it was evident that he didn't just notice her beauty, which was why he gave her special attention.

So...

"Who is she?"

Shiki sitting to Roy's left, extended her finger like a pen and began writing in Roy's palm...

"Is she also a magus?"

It felt a bit ticklish.

There was a tingling sensation in his palm.
