Chapter 398 Abnormal Fear
Although each member of the Xiao family is more special than the other, they are also more weird than the other. Normal people really can't stand this family's temperament.
Xiao Gucheng is okay, he is just lazy, but Xiao's parents are very unreliable. I don't know how many times they have cheated their son and daughter.
With people like these as parents, it’s no wonder that Nagisa Akane is the way she is now, always worrying about this and that, like an old mother.
Aize felt the hardship of the girl's life, so he listened to her complaints silently and let her talk freely.
When all the dishes they ordered were served, Nagisa Akatsuki finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.
"I'm sorry for making you listen to my complaints for so long." Seeing that Aize had been listening silently, Nagisa Xiao felt grateful and embarrassed. She whispered to Aize, "You must think I'm nagging, right? Kojo-kun has always said that to me."
It seems that this girl is quite aware of the fact that she talks a lot.
"Not really." Aize shook his head and smiled calmly, "You can be nagging depending on the person. If it's a cute girl like you, Nagisa, I think there will be a lot of people willing to listen to your complaints."
"Is that so?" Nagisa Xiao blushed and smiled shyly, saying, "Actually, even I wouldn't normally say so much, but I don't know why, when facing you, Ai-jun, I can't help but say a few more words."
This is not an excuse.
Although Nagisa Akatsuki has a very lively and cheerful personality, and her thoughts are written directly on her face, she is consistent in her words and deeds, and she loves to talk and chat with people, but she generally rarely speaks ill of others.
She basically can't keep a secret, but if it's something really important and personally related, she will never say it out loud.
Like today, complaining to someone you have only met twice and constantly venting your resentment towards your own relatives, even Akane Nagisa would not easily do this.
But facing Aize, Nagisa Akatsuki couldn't help but do and say it, which made herself feel very puzzled.
"Maybe I look easier to talk to." Aize glanced at the dragon head jade in his body that was used to increase his personal charm, and said calmly: "Besides, we are neighbors, and your brother and I are classmates. We will see each other every day in the future. It is normal for you to want to talk to me more."
"Ai-kun is really reasonable." Nagisa Akatsuki smiled as if she was somewhat relieved, "I thought Ai-kun would definitely stay away from me now."
"So, it's not that serious." Ai Ze held a drink, sucked on the straw, and said with a smile: "I am actually quite happy. I just arrived and I can meet someone like you, Nagisa, who is willing to chat with me all the time. It has dispelled a lot of my hesitation in coming to this island."
"Really?" Nagisa Xiao looked at Aize with sparkling eyes and said hopefully, "Have I helped you, Aijun?"
"Of course." Aize smiled and nodded, saying, "So, you don't have to worry about anything. You can tell me anything you want to say."
"Don't look at me like this. I'm actually a good listener. I have much more experience than the average student."
Hearing this, Nagisa Akatsuki nodded repeatedly without any doubt.
"Ai-kun looks very reliable, completely different from my Kojo-kun. I really hope he can learn from him." Akane Nagisa said with emotion, "It would be great if Ai-kun was also my brother."
"Is that so?" Ai Ze looked at Nagisa Akane and said teasingly, "You didn't ask me to replace your Gu Cheng, you said 'also' yes..."
Doesn't this mean that, even though she has been complaining verbally, Nagisa Akatsuki has never thought about not having this brother?
"He is Kojo-kun after all." Nagisa Akane said with a smile that was completely different from her complaints, "Although he is lazy, his mind is surprisingly flexible. He seems to have no sense of tension or self-awareness, but he is very self-reliant. He will always help those around him who need help to the best of his ability. Even if he doesn't know the situation, he will always show up at the most important moment if something really happens."
"Usually it's Nagisa who takes care of him, but sometimes Kojou-kun also takes good care of me. It's incredibly reassuring."
Rather than being disgusted or annoyed, the feeling that Nagisa Akatsuki has towards Kojou Akatsuki is more like a sense of disappointment.
Just like many younger sisters who hope that their brothers can be better and smarter, Akane Nagisa is in a similar situation.
She hoped that her brother could be more independent and not be a constant worry for others, but she never hated her brother.
Because their parents are away from home all year round and are divorced, the brother and sister have been dependent on each other since childhood. Therefore, the relationship between the Xiao brothers and sisters is actually better than that of many other brothers and sisters, and there is almost no generation gap.
"Then classmate Gu Cheng is quite lucky. He has such a sensible sister like you. I envy him so much." Aize smiled and said, "When I mentioned you to him today, he was also very nervous, afraid that I would kidnap you."
"He's just too dependent on his sister." Nagisa Akatsuki puffed up her cheeks and said rather unhappily, "I'm not a child anymore, why do I always worry about things like this?"
"Perhaps, in his eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still a sister who needs his protection, right?" Aize smiled calmly, "Just like him, even if he is a high school student and will go out into society or go to college in the future, in your eyes, he is still the unreliable brother who needs your care."
"Yeah." Akatsuki Nagisa sighed like a little adult and said, "I hope he doesn't grow up to be a sloppy and philandering man like Yagi-kun, otherwise his future children will definitely suffer as much as I did."
"You're thinking too far ahead." Aize said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Your brother looks like a typical slow-witted man. Who knows, he might be single for the rest of his life."
"It's true, it could turn out that way." Nagisa Akatsuki started to worry again, muttering, "It seems like I still have to teach Kojou-kun how to get along with girls, otherwise he won't be liked by girls in the future."
The two of them started a conversation about Nagisa Akatsuki's family and herself, chatting and eating. They seemed to get along well with each other and the atmosphere was very natural, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Of course, Aize was not just chatting there casually, but wanted to get some information about the Akatsuki family in this way to see if there were any discrepancies with what he knew, so as to determine why the fate of the brother and sister Akatsuki Nagisa and Akatsuki Kojou had changed.
Unfortunately, through the conversation, Aize has basically confirmed that Akatsuki Nagisa knows nothing about the Flame Banquet, let alone the Fourth True Ancestor.
She did not remember the events of Matrix 12 which most likely led to her becoming the Fourth True Ancestor, and she did not remember becoming the Fourth True Ancestor herself.
In Akatsuki Nagisa's opinion, she is basically just an ordinary person.
She was not ordinary in the past. Not only was she a shrine maiden with advanced psychic qualities, she was also an over-adapter. She had helped her grandmother and father with their work for a period of time in the past. She would use her abilities as a medium and over-adaptability to determine the location of buried relics or decipher ancient inscriptions that could not be deciphered. She had also been commissioned by universities and professional organizations to do various volunteer activities. But according to Akatsuki Nagisa, she lost this ability at some point.
Therefore, in Akatsuki Nagisa's mind, she is just an ordinary junior high school student, an ordinary girl who is not even fifteen years old.
As for the Fourth True Ancestor, the Feast of Flame, and the Twelfth Matrix, she knew nothing about them.
This is the information that Aize obtained indirectly.
Even though he couldn't read minds, looking at Nagisa Akatsuki's cheerful and lively appearance, he was 80% sure that this was not fake.
Aize once again used the special eyesight of the "warrior" incarnation to spy on the other party, but still could not see the shadow of the world's strongest vampire on him. He couldn't even detect any trace of the twelve disaster-level followers that were rumored to have terrified countless people.
This made Aize couldn't help but doubt.
"Did she really become the fourth true ancestor?"
Aize was completely confused.
However, he was not in a hurry.
"There's a long way to go. I'm not in a hurry anyway. The worst that can happen is that I can stay in this world for a while longer. The truth will eventually come out."
The future of Gengami Island is full of disasters. There are a lot of people who come here for the title of the Fourth True Ancestor, so there is no doubt that they will find out the secrets hidden in Akatsuki Nagisa.
"Well, take your time."
With this idea in mind, Aize didn't know that such an opportunity would come soon.
…………
"Ha! I'm so full!"
About an hour later, Nagisa Akatsuki walked out of the family restaurant with a satisfied look on her face.
"Sure enough, the food in this restaurant is the best. I really want to ask the chef to see if I can make it at home."
As Nagisa Akatsuki walked forward, she expressed her feelings.
"It tastes really good." Aize walked beside Nagisa Akatsuki and said with a smile, "I just don't know which one is better compared to the food you made yourself, Nagisa."
"Me? I definitely can't compare to that!" Nagisa Akatsuki waved her hands and said, "I can only cook ordinary dishes. How can I compare to the professional dishes made by a chef?"
"Whether you are being modest or not, I will verify it next time if I have a chance." Aize continued to walk forward and said without turning his head: "Don't hide your shortcomings on purpose when the time comes, okay?"
However, this sentence did not elicit a response from Akatsuki Nagisa.
"Nagisa?"
Aize turned his head with some confusion, only to see that Nagisa Akatsuki had completely changed her appearance.
"Ai Jun..."
I saw that Nagisa Akatsuki, who had a cheerful expression just now, turned pale for some reason, her whole body trembling slightly, and she slowed down her pace and hid behind Aize, looking terrified.
She unconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed Aize's clothes, as if she was grabbing her support or a life-saving straw, allowing Aize to clearly feel that she was afraid.
The source of Nagisa's fear was slowly approaching.
They were two men who looked very rough.
"What are you looking at, little brat!"
"If you dare look at us like that again, I'll teach you a lesson!"
They were dressed like thugs, and not only did they look rough, they spoke in a rough tone, and had tattoos all over their bodies. You could tell at first glance that they were not good people.
The pedestrians around them kept their distance from them. Although the fear they had for them was not as strong as that for Nagisa Akatsuki, it was still more or less a certain amount.
This is not only because the two men look like gangsters, but also because they are wearing metal bracelets on their wrists.
That’s right, it’s the demon clan’s registration certificate.
These two people are demons.
“Ai-kun…!”
Seeing two men wearing demon registration cards attracted by the situation on her side and approaching her as if they were interested, Akane Nagisa let out a short scream.
She was very scared and terrified. That kind of fear and terror was not like that of a normal person. Instead, it was like some psychological trauma was ruthlessly dug out. She had already reached the point of losing her mind.
"This is……"
Aize's eyes narrowed slightly, and he unconsciously reached out and held Nagisa's hand that was holding his clothes, and held her.
At this time, the two demon men had already arrived in front of the two of them.
"Little sister, you seem to be afraid of us?"
"Don't be afraid, we won't eat you."
The two noticed Nagisa Akatsuki's abnormal behavior, but they acted as if they had found a new toy. Instead of avoiding her, they seemed to be deliberately teasing her, with wicked smiles on their faces.
“Don’t… don’t come over here…!”
Nagisa Akatsuki held onto Aize's hand tightly, her face becoming paler and paler, and her body shaking more and more violently.
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you being too rude?"
"Why are you so scared? We are actually good people, okay?"
The two demon men still tried to get closer to Nagisa Akatsuki and continued teasing her.
But, Aize had already held Nagisa Akatsuki in his arms.
"Let me give you a piece of advice."
Holding the trembling girl in his arms, Aize spoke expressionlessly.
"It's best to disappear right now while I'm still in a good mood."
These words made the two demon men turn their attention to Aize.
"Huh? What are you?"
"You're just a student, why are you so arrogant?"
The two men's attitude towards Aize was much worse, and they were easily angered by Aize.
"Don't think we won't dare to do anything just because we're wearing this stuff. You're just human brats, don't get carried away!"
One of the demon men even stretched out his hand, ready to grab Aize's collar.
Aize watched this scene, indifferent.
The unbelievably huge spiritual power in his body began to stir at this moment.
"don't want!!!"
Just as the other party was about to touch Aize and the spiritual power in Aize's body was about to erupt, Xiao Nagisha, who was held in Aize's arms, screamed.
"boom!!!"
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.
