"I have it." Witch Aiko repeated that sentence for the last ti.
"..." i's body stiffened. "...?"
Witch Aiko pulled the book out of her Tails, but for so reason, the original was still in her Tails.
i's eyes rolled backwards, and she fainted on the spot, muttering sothing about 'unbelievable' this and that.
Witch Aiko was, of course, skilled enough to catch i before she fell.
Witch Aiko sighed gently. If i had listened sooner, she would not be as shocked as she was right now...
...
So ti later, i woke up, still inside a dream.
"Crazy... I thought Aiko really had that book." i ruffled her hair roughly.
"I do have it." Witch Aiko's lips twitched. She was starting to get annoyed by anything and everything.
"..." i stared at Aiko like she was staring at an absurd world wonder.
"Don't stare at like that..." Witch Aiko covered her body.
"How did you get that book?" i blinked at Aiko blankly.
"I ran into it." Witch Aiko confessed, but i had the expression saying 'yeah, that's bullshit'.
"Don't believe if you don't want to, but this is the book you are looking for, right?" Witch Aiko stared at i, trying to figure out if this was the real deal.
"It's the book we are looking for..." i breathed out. She was trying to process this absurd luck.
Who would've thought that out of all the directions that Fox could escape, she just had to stumble into Aiko?
"So, what's next?" Witch Aiko placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh..." i blinked again, still trying to process this absurd situation. "You can just return to your original form, since they don't have any kind of leverage any more." She shrugged gently.
"Just like that?" Witch Aiko speechlessly stared at i.
"The book was the only way they would be able to negotiate with anyone, so the only option left for them is a desperate struggle since they are all in one place." i licked her lips. It was obvious she was looking forward to what would happen next.
"..." Witch Aiko's lips twitched. "How am I supposed to go through that barri-"
"Just shatter it." i giggled. "You are good at wreaking havoc, so just go for it."
"Won't that be an issue?" Witch Aiko took a step back. She didn't think that i was thinking straight right now.
"It was created by Delegation, so we don't have to worry about resources." i cackled sinisterly. "Not to ntion, once they see that you survived, there will be hell to see~" She humd happily.
"???" Witch Aiko didn't believe this was her i, but it definitely felt like her.
"Can you stop touching ?" i pouted her lips. "If you want to touch , you should co in person." She snorted unhappily.
"I will, I will." Witch Aiko nodded her head. "But I believe you like Moon Aiko more, no?"
"I was obviously inviting my light, Aiko." i rolled her eyes.
"I feel neglected..." Witch Aiko laughed awkwardly.
"You obviously have Danji already." i narrowed her eyes, a sharp piercing light appraised Aiko. "Which ans you will get an earful from !"
"... You are taking this better than Danji thought you would." Witch Aiko tilted her head.
i harshly pinched Aiko's cheeks. "I'm only nice since you have solved 90% of my issues. Otherwise, I would bite our head off."
Aiko shuddered, since it felt like i really ant it.
"What?" i chuckled darkly. "I told you I won't share you, and that still stands." She let go of Aiko as she licked her fingers.
"I already claid you, so a small hiccup won't change anything. And don't even think about turning into a light, Aiko, or I will bully her." i snorted unhappily.
It was enough that she shared a Karmic Bond with Danji, but what upset her the most was that she had higher protection than before, and most things turned out better than before.
What that ant was that Aiko was lowering her chances for success, while Danji was boosting hers.
Even if Aiko would make her chances into negatives, she wouldn't know until a third party appeared, and thus she would strive for the best outco.
Yet now she knew why she was so unlucky at tis, and her mind didn't want to accept it.
Light Aiko was cute and lovable, but the derits were clear.
"Maybe I should chew up Danji..." i narrowed her eyes as she murmured those sinister words.
"I'm sorry..." Witch Aiko was really scared of this i, so she apologised profusely.
"Don't say sothing you don't an." i was even more upset now.
"But Moon Aiko still likes you the best?" Witch Aiko tried to defend herself, that only turned i more and more upset.
"I understand this is your first relationship and that you have never learned from others." i nodded her head in acknowledgent, but her eyes were still cold. "But you should not say anything if you don't have anything nice to say."
Witch Aiko nodded her head weakly.
"Good." i smiled. "You don't have to return, since I would kick you out anyway."
The book was secured, but i was too upset with dark Aiko, so she didn't want her to return.
That was because she needed to calm down, cool down, and collect her thoughts.
She didn't want to share, but she would have shared, since they had the Karmic Bond, so it was unavoidable.
But it just had to be Danji out of all of Aiko's pursuers.
'I would be fine even with Twins, since they pose no threat to my supremacy.' i clicked her tongue, observing Aiko's scared reactions.
Witch Aiko kept opening and closing her mouth, but she eventually gave up on trying to say anything.
Soon, the dream lted away...
-----
"..." Witch Aiko woke up in a cold sweat. 'i is really upset...' She shook her head several tis, but she kept her concealnt.
'What do I do...?' Witch Aiko was trying to figure out what to do, but it was quite difficult.
'Should I find sothing that would make i happy?' Witch Aiko's brain was malfunctioning, and she was unable to figure out what she should do to make i happy.
This journey didn't reward her all that much.
'If i notices this Treasure, would she flip out...?' Witch Aiko turned into a river of sweat. This form was not supposed to do that, yet there she was...
'Sothing precious enough that she would forgive...' Witch Aiko narrowed her eyes. 'It's ti to raid the library!'
She moved her body slowly towards the familiar Peaks...
-----
"Hmpf, what a troublemaker." i snorted unhappily, but deep inside, she was quite happy that Aiko was unhard and doing well.
She would solve the issue with Danji, since she believed that Aiko wouldn't be the one to initiate it, thus Danji was guilty of the whole cri!
'Aiko should arrive any minute, so I can scold her a bit more and then beat Danji up!' i smiled happily and waited.
And waited.
And waited...
'What's taking Aiko so long? The barrier is not strong enough to stop her...' i pursed her lips. 'Don't tell that she ran away...?'
Feeling the Karmic Bond, Aiko was indeed running away from her.
i was stunned and didn't know what to do. Confusion overtook her.
'Was it too much...?' i was left alone with her thoughts...
-----
Witch Aiko arrived at the first Peak that she knew, but most books consisted of Inscriptions.
Not only were those Inscriptions complete shite, but they were also highly ineffective and wrong!
Witch Aiko threw those books on the side. There were no Jade Slips, so she couldn't go through those and had to leave this Peak.
The other Peaks weren't any better.
'I really have to go that way, huh...?' Witch Aiko pursed her lips. She would have to go towards the Peak, where she felt that powerful shadow Fox.
'If I'm found, what will I do...?' Witch Aiko thought about it, but at worst, she would just run to i!
'No wait...' Witch Aiko groaned. 'i hates , so it's impossible to seek her protection.'
Quickly shaking her head, she turned into a tiny Fox and blended into her surroundings.
'Slow and steady.' Witch Aiko nodded her head as she slowly walked towards the main Peak.
Well, Peak was an understatent, since there were no mountains around. That's just how those things were called.
But fortunately, there were many lush forests and plains with tall grass, so Witch Aiko was able to stealthily sneak around.
'This is not too bad.' Witch Aiko nodded her head. The main road was filled with Foxes, but all of them had weaker Bloodlines, especially shadow ones, so Aiko was able to pass by them easily.
-----
A gorgeous girl was sitting on a rock leading towards the main Peak.
'So boring...' She sighed softly, her jet-black hair streaming down her slim body.
However, compared to her hair, her eyes burned brightly as if lting everything around her.
'The Delegation picked to experience the small islands, so I would be more grateful for all the resources they poured into , but...' The girl sighed. 'I honestly don't care. They are trying to marry off to so kind of Cultivator just because they want to have a more solid foundation and more allies.'
The girl shook her head. Fortunately, her ntal state was well-adjusted and protected, so they were unable to manipulate her directly.
"?" The girl suddenly noticed a tiny black Fox, but she didn't try to move so as not to startle her. 'Why is she sneaking around?'
-----
Witch Aiko passed by the gorgeous girl. 'She is like ?'
The feeling she got from that girl was similar to what Aiko exuded, which was strange, but also not completely unexpected.
'Hell, maybe there are even more doppelgängers that feel the sa as I do?' Considering that the girl didn't even twitch when Aiko passed around and her [Intention Perception] also didn't pick anything up, that ant she was not noticed.
'But I can't be sure, since she is powerful enough to make feel uneasy.' Witch Aiko silently groaned.
'But I'm almost to where my goal is. There should be so kind of library, and I can figure sothing out!' Witch Aiko nodded her head like this was a perfect plan, completely unaware that the gorgeous girl was tailing her...
